Een Eengleesh, that means Ree'll collect some data to date and plop it here. Okiedaydee?
Okay.
Cast: Suitov and Jaina. And... the swans. *ominous music*
Setting: I think we were torn between a pre-industrial FAN-tasy DREAM-world.... *sings* Ahem. Or a roughly parallel urban Earth setting.
Entrance: JJ tries to portal them somewhere cozy. She biffs it. They tumble into a feathered frenzy. Hee. Don't tell Jainey how much I like to bother her. big_smile
Snippets of preponderance:
Jaina Jade (4:56:28 PM): Well, in a fantasy world, people might see bright lights and magical powers, and just say say "Yawn -- same old, same old." Whereas with a modern tech world, somebody might call Hard Copy or the local news or SciFi Channel, and that could be... interesting.
Suitov (4:56:58 PM): Ooooo.
Suitov (4:57:18 PM): We'd also briefly thought about magics not working very well, or possibly not at all.
That's all I have so far.

Random thoughts here. If we go with a tech world, aren't people going to freak the hell out over animate fowl corpses?
I am not saying this well. *thinks for a min*
Fantasy world scenario: A region is besieged by evil dead birds. Communication between villages is virtually nil, so calls for help go unheard. Transportation is slow -- escape is almost impossible. Most people aren't aware of the danger until it kills them (and then there's probably human zombies!).
Tech world scenario: Region, The Birds, yadda yadda. Communications travel almost instantly through wires and off satellites, so distant countries are on guard well in advance. Some citizenry take to old nuke bunkers, abandoned subway lines, etc. If the world's advanced enough, escape by spacecraft may be possible. Bombing the shite out of flocks is possible, perhaps even likely, and potential human zombies get blasted to smithereens right off.
So there's that. Unless there's holes in my logic, which there very likely are. Point 'em out for me? *is blind to her own illogic*

Depends how evenly distributed the tech is, of course. If the peasantry is mostly (kept) dirt poor and undereducated, and the rich lot then seal themselves away along with all the useful technology...

Excellent point. Sounds nifty too. Is that what we want to do, then? *shows interest* ;)

I'd be up for it. Swif would be up for it. *eg*
