Mission 6

[Riley]

Any ideas for mission 6? I think we should start a random musical in a mall or do that "Gun fight" shown in the banned X-box commercial. What do you think???

[Agent Tuttle]

No, Harry Potter isn't for children per say, but running around with a stick yelling spells totally IS, dressed up or not. Now, if we could fly you'd have the best idea ever.

[Agent Firebird]

Any sort of role-playing is sort of childish, ahaha. But of course I don't necessarily think we should run around pretending to cast spells.

Flying... well, maybe if we had long robes and rollerblades that would be just as good? So it would look like we're gliding... almost, ahaha.

[Jim MacQ.]

Maybe not flying, but what about special effects?

Picture this. Public place, like maybe the open courtyard of one of these fancy indoor/outdoor malls. A couple of people in slightly "mystic" clothing (not full wizard robes, but slightly flamboyant), maybe one dressed in white and the other in black, face off. Words are exchanged, with a bit of theatricality. A scene builds. They square off against each other, maybe 20 feet away from each other. Wands come out. They circle cautiously around, looking for an opening.

One waves his wand and yells a word. There's a bright flash from his wand hand. The other person dodges and responds with her own spell. Another flash of light. They continue battling back and forth, with flashes and puffs of color here and there from hidden squibs. Finally, the white wizard is crouching, nearly defeated. The Black wizard is standing over her in victory. He raises his wand and prepares to strike.

Suddenly a dozen bystanders all step forward and surround the white wizard, all brandishing wands and looking serious.

The black wizard looks at them, then lowers his wand, turns and walks defiantly away. The white wizard gets up and then they all disperse.

Waving wands and yelling spells might be fun, but to work as a misison, it needs DRAMA!

I just joined tonight so Im apparently new to this. So apologies if this isn't any help. I like where your going. I simply wanted to add a detail that might allow more anonimity and a better escape at the end. When the bystanders approach the black wizard, they can surround him/her enough to disguise the person long enough for everyone to pull away their costume garments and quickly blend away into the crowd. Its something small but may give that quick change between what is the norm and mythical and back to norm again, giving a better illusion of realities.

[Agent A]

i dig the visual!

[Agent Tuttle]

Pie fight!

[Jim MacQ.]

hmm.

Stealing shamelessly from a friend's high school film project that he never finished some 30 years ago....

Picture this...

A wild-eyed guy looking terror-stricken comes running through someplace, looking for somewhere to hide.

A small group of official-looking goons comes in, looking for him. Uniforms, maybe. Or just decked out like "Agent Smith" from the Matrix.

Maybe they've got a high-tech detector gizmo. One way or another they find the guy. Two of them drag him out and hold him by the arms while the others open up the big case they've been carrying around. They reach around in the case, doing some elaborate preparations while the guy begs for mercy.

Out comes a pie. Splat!

The goons close up the case and leave the victim sitting there with pie all over him. Their work is finished here.

[NyssaM]

heh....

i might enjoy this one a tad too much... can I volunteer a non-agent to get splat in the face? (and maybe not tell the person there's a pie involved...)

[Agent Tuttle]

Spatting a non-agent would be a big no no.

[Agent TWolf]

This is really random, and probably not worth posting because it would take a lot of work to make possible. Here it is anyway, as this idea just popped in my head I was thinking that we could go to a busy public area where lots of people are bound to be talking on cell phones and have our group walk together bound by tin can phones. Everyone in the group would have their own tin can, attached by string to other members. As I said, a lot of pre-production, but thought it could be interesting.

[joekho]

i had a similar idea with dixie cups attached by a string, the classic telephone

i think it would be fun
we can start off by ourselves and then move into a larger and larger conference call by connecting the cups and then break off again by breaking the line

i think dixie cups are a bit easier than tin cans to get a hold of a lot, but tin cans are a lot more fun since they make a ton of noise and echo more

I've been wondering why they don't make bluetooth headsets that look like ears, just slightly larger. I would buy one of those. And then they would have to make pointy Spock style ones. I remember the first time I saw a guy with an earpiece and I thought: "That's funny, he doesn't look like a crazy homeless person."

There was this guy who used to make videos where he would have like a hunk of wood and pretend it was a cell phone and have loud, strange conversations in public. "No no HERPES, not HAIR PIECE!" Stuff like that. A bunch of us on obviously fake phones could be good times.
