Cue the collective groaning

[shockjock]

Hey there, long time listener first time caller! Saint here bringing in someone I should probably profusely apologize for in advance, Livewire!


Look how adorable she is, how much trouble could she be?

ANYWAYS, I am specifically bringing her animated version to the party, which I'm still not sure is a good thing or a bad thing for the resident Kara. Since on the one hand, she's like 95% less homicidal maniac, but her troll game is so much stronger and she is super indiscriminate with her brattiness.

It's also a very good idea to keep her away from your electronics, because she will absolutely hitchhike (and without so much as a thank you, that jerk).

You can catch me on Plurk at SaintCynicism, or just shoot me a PM if you've got anything you don't wanna say in the comment section.

Her intro post should be up (much) later tonight, as well as some general housekeeping on her profile page (permissions, etc), but for right now I've gotta run. Look forward to playing with you all!

Her permissions post is HERE, in case anyone wants to grant/deny permissions for her to make their lives difficult in advance. Also, she's voiced by the wonderful Lori Petty, and if anyone wants to get an idea of what that means and what her shenanigans entail, here you go.

LMAO this is excellent

I'm on hiatus until February but WE WILL PLAY I PROMISE. DCAU Livewire is why I enjoy watching A League of Their Own (and ok it's a good movie but Lori Petty was the reason I watched it at first)

[shockjock]

Lori Petty is pretty great, yes. I was actually a little sad when they replaced her for the couple eps of JLU they brought Livewire back for (that and even the character lost a lot of her charm).

Also on the plus side at least Sparky here won't have such a murder grudge against Kara???

I mean, she'd still hate her and mock her endlessly, but. She is not the Super-sidekick she would have issues with at least (yet, anyway, because Livewire and freaking Kryptonians don't play nice for long :T )

Hi, welcome to the game! I'm Haunt. I play Mon-El From Supergirl and Kitty Pryde from X-Men Age of Apocalypse.

[shockjock]

Hey there!

For the record, I am so behind on Live Action Supergirl stuff that I actually had to go look up Mon-El just to make sure I hadn't missed any additions to the Kryptonian family tree >>

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm required by law to give you a thumbs up for playing Kitty. That girl does not get the kind of love she deserves.

[spacebro]

Fair. I can't remember if I know your Livewire from the Superman cartoon or Justice League. Probably Superman since I don't remember because I haven't watched that since it aired and if I looked up that date I'd probably just feel old.

The live action Livewire is going to be in Monday's episode according to the previews! And Mon-El is in the comics and has various names there like Lar Gar and I think he went by Superboy for awhile. I'm just getting this from wiki. But it seems like he had many incarnations there and none of them are going to be like the show. Adaptation fun!

Ah thanks! I do love me some Kitty.

Hey, welcome aboard! :> I'm Zi, and I play an AU Stefan Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries.

I'm so excited to see Livewire around, and I can't wait to see what trouble she'll run into!!

[shockjock]

Wow straight to the stereotyping of criminal behavior already. Take over a major city and hold it for ransom one time and everyone just thinks you're a bad egg out to cause trouble, jeez.

I kid, she will run into trouble. All of the trouble. If there's a metaphorical bear about, she will poke it and leave everyone else to deal with the aftermath. Possibly also an actual bear. Or an actual space bear, I guess.

You know what it's probably just safe to assume that poke-able space bears or not, she's going to be a handful. Especially since she'll have access to her ship's comm systems and may be called on to perform Very Serious, Very Important Tasks and that's never going to end well.

Also I have no idea who that is but cross-canon CR is my jam, so I look forward to all the headaches she will cause him! In fact if you ever feel like his life is going a little too well I would not be averse to a prod to see if there's any way she could muck it up for him!

[stefanged]

So she's going to get into awesome shenanigans, is what I'm hearing. I'm all for this! (On the upside, Stefan is actually a vampire who enjoys munching on metaphorical space-bears, so he'd just punch the bear and grab his meal??)

Basically, Stef's a brooding vampire / medical school student who eternally angsts about his immortality and how he can't possibly be a nice person because he drinks blood, how is that a good thing, etc. In other words, the kind of person that could very, very easily be a target for Livewire, should she choose to poke him along with said bear. C:

Either way, I hope you have fun here!

[shockjock]

Basically. I mean she's the kind of person who would get bored and then find it absolutely hilarious when she starts locking people in their rooms by refusing to allow the doors to open, or slamming them shut every time they do. Or shutting off the lights at random intervals. Or taking over their communicator / the comm station they're using and just refusing to let them send anything (provided she's on the same ship, I mean).

She's a brat with entirely too much free time and the sort to wind up in the Top 10 on the list of "People Who Should Never Have Been Allowed to Gain Superpowers" is what I'm saying.

I sense lots of teasing and/or completely unwanted request to cheer up in his future :>

[lovingsacrifice]

Ohhh man I have a DCAU Lois Lane who would love to hate you!!! So happy to see a great character played here!
