the literal worst

[pullback]

Hey gang I saw on atp y'all needed a doctor so have the literal worst choice you can have.

My name's Kates, I'm a new player here, and this is Victor Frankenstein from the just ended Showtime show Penny Dreadful. Penny Dreadful is a crossover public domain League of Extraordinary Gentlemen where a host of unique individuals team up to kill witches and/or vampires (with added boobs, blood and peen because of premium cable.) Victor is a hot mess of a doctor: a workaholic who thinks he's hot shit and has a tendency towards sarcasm, poetry, and self-medicating his pain away by bad decisions.

he's also raised the dead three times. you know, as you do.

He's pulled from the (remarkably half-assed) ending of Penny Dreadful but I'll try to keep spoilers to a minimum. My plurk's allikateor and I can't wait to play with y'all!

Oh man, I watched the first season and a bit of the second, and it's... SUCH TRASH... BUT SUCH ENTERTAINING TRASH. I loved Victor. I was so pleased to see him on the TDM (though I had no time slfkmds sob) and reserve list.

IDK WELCOME I'm Jules I play this idiot. Doctors in the hizzoouusseeee.

[pullback]

OH MY GOD IT IS INDEED SUCH TRASH and yet I devoured it up like I was someone devoid of good media because I have a weakness and that weakness is stupid public domain crossovers.

AND HULLO JULES that idiot looks like a wonderful idiot, you have great taste in movies and aw yeeeeeah team doctors.

[verinumeri]

Oh man, I'm a dingus and hadn't even heard the term public domain crossover, but having looked it up now, I can now confidently report that I ALSO ENJOY THEM. I think at some point -- probably when Dorian and Ethan went at it -- I was like ???? THiS IS ?????? HAPPENING???????????? and then I was hooked at least during finals, which was precisely obviously when I should have been watching it. I gotta get back to 2.

(I did however promptly go spoil myself after reading your post, so dw about me)

WHY THANK YOU actually my taste is pretty bad but one can't go wrong with elbow rockets and dogs.

[pullback]

LIKE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN AND PENNY DREADFUL AND DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN SHIT that nonsense is my jam.

and yes, good job spoiling yourself, the more people who know about that bullshit ending the better.

there is nothing wrong with elbow rockets and I think more pieces of media would be drastically improved by elbow rockets!

[synthedick]

Welcome to the game, Kates! I'm Grimme, and I play this robot guy and one of the OCs, and both will be thrilled to know there's another doctor at the clinic. Beggars can't be choosers, okay.

Looking forward to seeing him around!

[pullback]

pleasure to meet you Grimme! I am aokay with robot guys and OCs, please don't be too offended if Victor asks weird questions about robot anatomy.

[synthedick]

Hahahahaha OH NO I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVE THREADS LIKE THAT

So please, give Nick all the weird questions. >:)

[pullback]

BEAUTIFUL in that case prepare for invasive questions about stuff like 'do you even bleed'

[dedikated]

Doctoooor!

This counts TBH totally counts. Pls come to the clinic and make everything worse better.

Also hi! I am Nico and I play this OC who spends too many hours yelling about the mess that is the clinic while occasionally providing first aid and going about doing all the admin miscellania no one else wants to do. And breaking the cave. She does that too.

I'm windlicht, and I hope you have a great time here!

[pullback]

everybody goes to the clinic and ends up thinking "oh sweet jesus"

And hello Nico! let's brofist for doctors who'll spend too many hour yelling about messes.

[dedikated]

Well our staff currently includes a Hulk, a chick who has spent most of her life scared of blood, a self-made demon and whatever Adam counts as. SO IT CAN'T BE MUCH WORSE.

|D Yeeeeeees- *Admin and Power Consultant - she is insistent. Doctors should be able to perform surgery or have a degree. s i g h

We have a comm for clinic related things at undersupplied if you want more info about the place and staff!

[pullback]

OOOH HEY Victor can perform surgery! lord only knows if he actually graduated from college or not but he can do surgery, even if it's nasty gross-ass 1890s surgery, still counts ("you mean I need to WASH my hands?")

and awesome! /heads to check out the comm

[dedikated]

It counts for more than most here to be honest! (DW we will teach him the ways of germs! X()

[pullback]

baby steps, y'all. baby steps.

[fortunefavored]

BODY SLAMS IN HERE ALSO DID SOMEONE SAY VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN

I am terrible at watching shows so unfortunately I am canonblind but

uh anyway HI I'M NIKKI and I play this nerdchild who would love to talk about monsters and biology and stuff if victor's into that sort of thing 8)

[pullback]

HELL YEAH LET'S TALK ABOUT MONSTERS AND BIOLOGY AND STUFF tell him all about kaiju Newt and Victor'll tell you about vampires.

aaaaand pleasure to meet you Nikki. c:

[mismanagement]

Heya! Welcome to the game! I've got Maketh Tua from Star Wars: Rebels, and Miriam, who's already been bothering Victor and will probably continue to do so for...pretty much ever. Sorry. But anyhow, I'm Fade and I'm really looking forward to writing with you more!

[pullback]

dude I've adored our tdm thread so I'm SO STOKED for Miriam to continue that bothering ingame, teach him the ways of the world like how to use a phone.

[mismanagement]

:D:D:D:D:D

You have no idea how happy that makes me. I'm also really looking forward to unleashing Maketh on him, because her former military officer-thing is nooot going to jive well with his experiences of women. Which should be hilarious.

[pullback]

GOD HE IS LIKE THE LITERAL WORST WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN...put him in his place, Maketh, Victor deserves to get his head out of his ass.

[mismanagement]

Muwhahahah. She'll probably enjoy doing that >.> One of her favorite hobbies was yelling at hapless storm troopers. But for better or worse, almost everyone here is scarily competent, so she hasn't had much of an opportunity to yell lately.

Uh. Sorry, Victor. Probably.

[pullback]

don't worry, Captain Mild Sexism is here for all your yelling needs. and again, don't be sorry, he deserves it.

[mismanagement]

No exaggeration, her response in canon to almost being blown up was to brush herself off and start railing on the officer in charge of security. This shall be fun ^^ I'll definitely hit you up once the arrival post goes up.

[pullback]

awesooooome! I can't wait for our threads!

[stepford_smiler]

MY MUM LOVES PENNY DREADFUL! I really want to watch it. :c

Hello! I am Anthea! I play Hakkai from Saiyuki! The "self made demon" in the clinic. Lmfao. Idk if you know Saiyuki, but Hakkai is passive aggressive and "mom" of his team.

[pullback]

YOUR MUM HAS GOOD TASTE and like you can easily marathon it over a three day weekend says the person who's fine with shameless enabling. hint hint ridiculous vampires and Josh Hartnett's beautiful hair and Eva Green's beautiful everything compel you.

AND AWESOME pleasure to meet you Anthea! Victor...is also a bit of a sarcastic little shitbag so they'll get along wonderfully. Especially if Hakkai mentions the whole demon thing, THAT IS NOT GOING TO GO OVER WELL you get a tiny bit prejudiced when your friend gets possessed.

[stepford_smiler]

IT IS DEFINITELY ON MY WATCH LIST! I just have to find a source to watch it.

And Hakkai is used to sarcastic shit bags, so they should get along swimmingly. HAKKAI DOESN'T LIKE MENTIONING THAT HE'S A DEMON. So Victor won't find out unless push comes to shove and he finds himself explaining things.

[pullback]

cough watch it illegally cough.

BEAUTIFUL in that case they will get along tremendously well being sarcastic shitheels at each other.

[stepford_smiler]

I would but I don't know what site

I AM EXCITED FOR THIS! Hakkai's brand of sarcasm has smiling and overt politeness to it.

[pullback]

here you goooo there's multiple links to multiple episodes so that might work. course, I do have a mac & adblocker out the whoa so I make no promises when it comes to how sketchy some of the videos might be

AND GOOD! That...is something Victor needs to learn, polite sarcasm, he's just got 'shitheel make things worse' sarcasm.

[stepford_smiler]

THERE GOES MY DAY OFF! thank you so much.

That's the kind of sarcasm Hakkai is used to from his friends.

[pullback]

NP, NP

and good, hello there new friend, let Victor tell you the wonders of science.

[kickingand]

FRANKENSTEEIIN aawww yea. you can be 100% sure that i'll be hitting him up with dean bc witches and vampires are such a problem right bro!?

though really dude, stop raising the dead.

ANYWAY HI KATES, welcome welcome!!

[pullback]

omfg witches and vampires are the worst why don't we just kill them all

and you can't make him!!! (you can definitely make him)

[kickingand]

AMEN. PREACH IT. insert fistpumping here.


:||| just say no to raising the dead

[pullback]

look he's gotten really good at it now, billie piper only came back KINDA crazy.

[kickingand]

yeah okay that's what they all say right before something terrible happens!!!

[pullback]

yes but have you considered that the alternative is dying and dying sucks.

[kickingand]

you're talking to a winchester that has died 1898903 times, he 100% agrees that dying sucks

[pullback]

then he's a winchester who knows that getting brought back to life is good!

[kickingand]

............ still totally gonna judge you.

[benumbing]

but welcome! i'm mi and i play jack benjamin here, along with the skinny version of steve rogers.
