Power Rangers Literati Idea/Discussion Thread

Thanks. Ethan struck me as the kind who would take a Cleric, and of course I had to have some Rangers taking Rangers (the fact that they could take two weapons or Archery made it J.T. and Jessica)

Proof that work on the next episode progresses;
(Based on a couple real experiences you might remember...)

The experiences, if anyone's wondering, is the time that one customer raised a big stink over DaVinci Code being priced one way and costing another, and the other experience is actually several - the god-awful number of people who would threaten to sue Movie Gallery simply because the prices listed on the board where a dollar less than the stuff actually cost because there hadn't been a chance to change the board.

[J. T./Jessica]

Well, it's official. There's been bloodshed in PRL.

[BloodAngel]

I am intrigued.

Did I finally make good on a threat and stab you?

[J. T./Jessica]

No... and Yes.

You didn't stab me, yet in an indirect way you did CAUSE me to be stabbed. Plus, at the same time I was being stabbed, you and the other Rangers (Jessica included) were shooting a shapeshifter-type monster that had taken my form.

[BloodAngel]

*pouts* Well that's no fun.

[J. T./Jessica]

Would getting to hit me in the injured arm make you feel better?

[J. T./Jessica]

Just to prove that work continues...

“I don’t know,” Jessica admitted, reluctantly, “And right now that makes me nervous – Jon, Mars and the bitch aren’t anywhere around either… ‘Least that I can tell.”

Amanda nodded, “Which means Eru alone knows what they’re up to, and we’ll probably find out at the worst possible time.”

The Green Ranger shrugged, “As my mom would say, Amanda, ‘she right’. I mean, it’s not like we’ve not been through the fire before.”

“Says the girl who could probably walk through fire without even feeling warm because she’s a firebird!” Amanda snorted in an unladylike fashion.

“You know,” Justin mused, standing by the building that the monster had jumped from, as the two more spirited of the team’s females continued their discussion and search in the direction the monster had disappeared in, “We don’t have a thing to worry about from Mars and his bunch – we’re more likely to kill each other than they are.”

Standing nearby, Yolanda overheard and laughed, “You’re just now figuring this out?”

The Red Ranger looked over at the Pink one and shook his head, “It’s not that. It’s more that I knew we were nuts, I simply didn’t realize just how far gone we really were.”

The Pink Siren Ranger shrugged, “So we’re insane. At least we’re the fun kind.”

Daniel had been on the roof of the building itself, hoping to find if it held any clues as to the location and abilities of their current adversary, and leaned over the side as he spoke, “Justin, weren’t you always the one who complained whenever we were talking instead of fighting or whatever else we were supposed to be doing?”

“Point out a fact isn’t automatically complaining.”

“You sound like you’re lecturing… Oh, crap,” Daniel planted his helmeted head in his palm.

“What?”

“Zack’s back at the store all alone with the new guy.”

“Oh,” Justin said, understanding dawning, “Crap.”

In his office, Zack clutched his Morpher in frustration. He was beginning to understand why Jason had willingly taken on the Gold Ranger powers despite the chance they could kill him, why all of the Red Rangers of the time had volunteered for the Moon Mission, why the black Dino Gem had bonded with Tommy…

The Power was calling him, tempting him, demanding him. For weeks its voice had been growing stronger, taunting, cajoling, insisting that he return to it, ever since he had fought unmorphed alongside the Literati Rangers against Jon. Each time his communicator sounded and let him know that he’d need to cover for his employees at the store while they went out to save the city, it became more and more difficult not to join them in the fight. Knowing that other Rangers were out there fighting, with everything in him screaming for him to join them, it took all of his willpower to open the desk drawer and return the Morpher to its hiding place.

“It’s their turn,” Zack whispered to himself, “I’ve done my part for the universe.”

Now if only he could actually believe that…

Question;

The Scorpion Spiritzord was severly damaged (that is, ripped in two) in "Act One, Scene One". In a few episodes, Jon will gain the Blizzard Force Dinozords.

That said, should the Scorpion Spiritzord be repaired and return or should it remain damaged and be replaced by the Blizzard Force?

[J. T./Jessica]

Fight

'Help'

'Needed'

Black BB broken

Ran through

'Needed'

Surge and Dark BB broken.

then to Yolanda and the monster.

[J. T./Jessica]

I've discovered something;

I LIKE having Jon and J.T. each being the only one who will consistantly refer to the other by their full name (Jonathan and John). It adds a nice bit of animosity-type feel to it all...

[J. T./Jessica]

An idea for Daniel's part during the "Ninja Quest"...

J.T.: "Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived."
Amanda: "I am no man!"
Jon: Monty Python and the Return of the King. Hmph, nice. Why couldn't you be trying to kill each other like normal?
J.T.: "Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth."
Daniel: I'm never going to live this down, am I?
Jessica: Well... I'd hate to be you at Easter, Daniel.
Daniel: That's what concerns me.

[J. T./Jessica]

J.T. - Tonfa
Yolanda - Katals
Daniel - Claws
Justin - Sais
Amanda - Whip
Jessica - Lance
Zack - Hammer
Jon - Giant Shuriken.

[BloodAngel]

Are we getting new weapons? *sits back and waits for the Kurama and/or Major Hollihan jokes*

[J. T./Jessica]

Kinda.... Ninja-Era weapons. I was playing around with the avatar creator I use to make the... concept art, one could say, for PRL and ended up making avatars for the Ninja Ranger versions of the Literati Rangers, complete with weapons.

[BloodAngel]

Awesome.
