As some of you may recall, Joe and I started a thread a few years back called 'Kitties in Blunderland,' which had various characters in the roles of Lewis Carroll's Alice characters on an adventure while Dinah searched for her owner, Alice. It was fairly loved, and quite a number of other members put-in their own cameo appearances.
Well, Joe and I discussed it on Messenger and we want to try something similar again. This time, however, the fantasy world will be Oz rather than Wonder Land.
Once again in this scenario the role-players will be role-playing their characters... err... role-playing as other characters. Confusing? To simplify, the cast of MGM's classic, The Wizard of Oz, will be replaced by characters here on MU who will play-out the role rather than the actual characters. As a matter of fact, no actual Oz characters may be used, since I see we have a couple of those - Sorry!
Anyone may sign-up, HOWEVER, a large problem with why Kitties in Blunderland died was that people joined-in then failed to keep up with posts, dragging the thread on and on until it died entirely. For this reason, anyone who bogs-down the plot and doesn't post will have turns skipped. If repeated offenses in this manner are waged, the character may be removed from the plot entirely. Sound strict? Unfair? Well, if you feel this way it suggests you are such a person... and if you are, and don't plan on posting, then why sign up at all?! Logic prevails! Now, with that ugliness out of the way...
Plot-wise this can be considered an in-character, out-of-character experience. Nothing which happens in this Oz thread will be considered canon in any other thread, and that holds true vice versa. The best way to describe this is a time/space anomaly created by the distorting dimensions which form MU. It's happening, and yet it isn't.
Rather than spoil any surprises, characters will be assigned as taken in the following list, or available if the role can be filled. I will not be posting who will be playing as which character, as that will be revealed as the story unfolds, but hopefully you will enjoy the selections.
Dorothy = Taken
Toto = Taken
Scarecrow = Taken
Cowardly Lion = Taken
Tin-Man = Taken
Glinda, the Good Witch = Taken
Wicked Witch = Taken
The Wizard of Oz = Taken
The Wizard of Oz's Head Illusion = Taken
The "Hanging Man" urban legend = Taken
The Munchkins = Taken
Optimistic Voices = Taken
The Wizard of Oz's Guard = Taken
Note that lesser characters can also be played, such as the doorman, etc. This list is not the final cast, I merely listed the most prominent roles off the top of my head.
When signing up for a character, it would be a good idea to not state who you are signing up as to keep to a spoiler-free experience.
