[X] Plan: Master of Puppets + uplifting
Last edited:
Exactly.
Either as genuine advise, or to make sure they keep growing and being worthy opponents.
If they get up and get better there will be fame in defeating them again. There is no fame in kicking a downed puppy.

It seems you're absolutely right. I got that twisted around. While turning other people into puppets is funny and on-the nose, it seems to be the will of the original plan creator that everyone take Presto seriously and not acknowledge that he himself is a hand puppet.
I'm going to retract the last part of my vote and replace it with another option.
@gale, @Night_stalker, If you're willing to go along with the change, could you change your posts to vote solely by plan name? Like this?
[] Plan: Master of Puppets
That'll allow your votes to update along with mine.

I feel like we should encourage our nemeses here. We need proper foes to compete against if we are to truly shine. Shame I can't write dialogue for shit.

They definitely need some plot-leading dialogue, yeah. I can't think of anything good, either, though.

"While others see Paw Patrol Pups, All I see are Small Controllable Plushes! Abra Kadabra! Alakazam!"

Note to self see if we can make a plushes control spell so we can use them against each other.

His general incompetence would cause him to think that, but with a combination of him being a coward and you having a dragon, I'll just assume that for once, he's not going to do something stupid.

A funny thing I just imagined... Imagine if Pestro was live-action... Like whenever it zooms into just him in frame he's an actual live-action sock puppet for no reason. Or it could be like that one skit in Gravity falls that whenever the credits finish rolling on an episode with Pestro and The Puppeteer it shows a skit with a live-action puppet version of Pestro.

Something about challenges are meant to be overcome, or not giving up at the first setback? Heroism is about not letting evil win, maybe.

[X] Plan: Master of Puppets + added slip up
-[X] Humdinger : Yes
-[X] *Presto's Wand of Puppetification* : Presto's mainstay wand, now endowed with a sinister gleam. When the magic words are chanted ("Abra Kadabra! Alakazam!"), a beam of purple sparks jets out to transform his victim into a humble hand puppet. The magic gives out after a few hours, but can be reversed earlier by chanting the magic words in reverse ("Alakazam! Kadabra Abra!").
-[X] What to Say: say "I am not that bad come on" before quickly changing to "she was not that bad I meant" then changing topic quickly and asking what they think is up with her magical powers, anyways. She looked like a stage magician, but she had little fairies and a dragon; isn't that kind of really weird?

You read my mind. I was imagining every time it went to him it was a single-character live-action closeup -- kind of like that Pirate from Spongebob? A live action puppet.
(Maybe with a little wooden counter in front of him to hide the arm so that he can be in the center of the screen. And then, when Presto is hit with the de-puppeting spell, he can have realistic dog paws grab the frame of the set and, like, physically tear them apart to put himself into the rest of the animation with everyone. That would go incredibly hard.)
(That's mostly just a joke, though.)
The slipup is a matter of personal taste, but the original plan was changed because it's a gimmick that we're not acknowledging that Presto is a puppet.

Honestly, it'd be unique enough to make us memorable.

I'm curious what Johanna's parents or other family members might be like? Clearly some neglectfulness might be involved but there could be more to it.
I'm imagining something like our parents are rich with shady connections and are very distant to their daughter. When Johanna ran away they barely cared, thinking someone kidnapped her and they'd just post a ransom note soon enough.
But then the ransom note didn't come so figured they'd have to hire an investigator to track her down. Cue several months later when said investigator comes up with a picture of the Puppeteer and Presto. Johanna's disguise does a good job hiding her identity, but Presto is the same puppet she had when she went out to her talent show months ago, so the investigator puts the pieces together pretty quickly.
Said parents say it makes sense and order them to retrieve Johanna, but do it discreetly because they don't want the public hearing of their crazy daughter acting out like this. "She's always talking 'magic', and her imaginary friends. We don't know where she got those drones or that fake dragon, but they should be harmless unless she's working with someone else."
So they're more embarrassed she's acting up than concerned about her safety and might provide an extra threat to us. Either sending hired help to retrieve Johanna, providing the Paw Patrol with help, etc.
Bonus points if our parent's business mostly employs dogs because they're cheaper and nobody complains. Why employ expensive human workers when you can have dogs trained to dig in the iron mines or make clothes in a sweatshop? (with the help of machines and vehicles of course).
Edit: Extra if it's shown our parents have a pet dog they like to fawn over pamper more than their daughter. Or its just her mother ("Oh, I'd love to go to your Talent show, but Floofsy's modeling for one of the new Canine Crunchy ads and you know how she gets stage fright without me?") while the father is more all business and likes how are more obedient and less of a hassle to work with. The investigator(s) sent to track Johanna down might be dog themselves or at least have dogs on their team.
Or it could be a team of dogs with a token human who handles all the official paperwork or meeting with officials like Mayor Goodway or Ryder, but during interactions with Father they default to him giving orders to the leader of the dog team.

If we bring in another whole team just to handle us, I feel like it might take the focus away from the main protagonists.
I liked the idea of having to go up against the dog we lost to at the talent show, though. We'd have an emotional connection set against that one, and it'd be easier for the audience to understand our back-and-forth.

Thank You All

I've just checked, and the quest has reached the 100 watcher landmark. So, um... wow.
Thank you all for being the reason why I'm making this quest. This had initially been a dumb idea my muse had bashed me over the head to make, and I wasn't expecting this much positive feedback. So thank you for indulging me with this idea and for breathing life into it.
And as such, I'd like to ask you all: how has your experience in this quest been, and how do you feel about how I write this quest? I'd love to know all your opinions on this.
Also, voting will end in about an hour since one of the plans is already leading by a mile, but I want to give a chance for anyone else to pitch their own plans.

I just had a sad idea... what if the dog that beat our girl in the talent show is her mother's purse dog that she clearly favors...
If you want more tearjerking that dog genuinely loves Johannha and blames herself for the girl running away so she sneaks to adventure bay to try and bring her home.

A dumb idea, but a fun one. All i know about Paw Patrol is that it exists and sometimes shops have merch aimed at little kids with that name and little dogs on it, but the quest is fun.I've just checked, and the quest has reached the 100 watcher landmark. So, um... wow.

And joins the Paw Patrol to protect her from this new villian terrorizing the town. Taking the role of dealing with magic, ofcourse.

[X] Plan: Master of Puppets
This is probably gonna win, Though The only thing about this that I would Change is for some parts of what to say would be more uplifting and helpful like previously stated. Like "It's like when Mrs. Pearson is training me self-defense. She may knock me down a bunch of times but if I keep getting back up I can continue to learn and grow!"
