*DEAD FROM SUMMARY*

Okay. Summarising. First summary ever. Good God. I'm not doing the stuff involving Anthy or Thom, because Anthy-mun is doing that. (Thankfully.)

Glorfindel([livejournal.com profile] glorious_figure/Mr B. Natural([livejournal.com profile] awakenthespirit)
In the original curry post post:
- (Anthy-mun has already done the Tom/Anthy thread.)
- Glorfindel wanders in and looks askance at the curry. Anthy-in-Thom's-body smiles brightly and offers curry, to which Glorfindel is most dubious. In a different continuity, Mr. B. Natural comes up to Thom and is scarily cheerful. Anthy-mun/Thom is, once again, unhelpful. B. Natural takes a bowl anyway, and thinks Thom is minding the bar. Anthy-mun/Thom defers question and offers information that he made the curry. (Which, unsurprisngly enough, Mr. B. Natural doesn't remember later.) B. Natural wants to know which instrument Thom plays, and he/she defers the question, once again. (this becomes a recurring theme during the night.) He asks how it tastes. Mr. B. Natural is horrified to learn that Thom is 'not musical'.

Going back to Glorfindel, he is asks what curry is. Anthy-mun/Thom is extremely unhelpful. Glorfindel finally introduces himself, and Thom is limp-wristed. Glorfindel is offended, but tries the curry anyway. The players panic briefly and Glorfindel-mun wanders off to consolidate threads.

The explosion happens. There is a switch, and Glorfindel-mun/Mr. B. Natural is confused. Anthy-mun/Thom is unhelpful and wanders off to get tea, and Glorfindel wanders over. (the two continuities finally join up.) Mr. B. Natura and Glorfindel are completely clueless, and look over their bodies. (the players have a brief panic about canon, or lack of knowledge thereof, which becomes another recurring theme.)

Dinner([livejournal.com profile] milliways_cow)/Matthew([livejournal.com profile] dreams_bird)
In the same post, Matthew flies in and eyes the curry, somewhat curious. Dinner turns up and they have a chat about beef. Dinner eats the curry, the curry explodes, and they switch. Dinner is confused. (They are unintentionally hilarious.) Matt-mun/Dinner is implicity sexual, and they become miserable and angry by turns. Matthew-mun/Dinner falls over. They complain about the inefficiency of each other's bodies. Morpheus([livejournal.com profile] lord_of_dreams) jumps in. There is scratching. It is subtly and disturbingly sexual. Matthew-mun/Dinner is ineffectually angry. Matthew-mun/Dinner tries to persuade Morpheus to eat some curry, but Morpheus wisely refuses. Dinner and Matthew, switched, discuss duck farts.

Will/Cordelia
Next, Will walks in and orders curry. Akane makes a rare appearance. They introduce themselves and talk about where they come from. They sympathise one the problem of too many siblings.
Meanwhile, Cordelia walks in and Will goes over to talk about the project. They remark on the unique capacities of the bar, while Will takes a bite of curry. Cordelia becomes interested in the curry. (dangerously so.) Cordelia tries a bite, and does so. As expected, the curry explodes and they switch. They are, like every other switch, horribly confused. They realise something has happened. Wil-mun/Cordelia does not know how to manage skirts. They begin to theorise about the curry. Will-in-Cordelia's-body panics. Cordelia-in-Will's-body is firm and determined, and procceeds to make a nusiance of herself(another post. this is where it gets severely confusing.)

Moiraine([livejournal.com profile] blue_ajah) comes across and severly underestimates matters. Moiraine is understanably confused when Will informs her that he is, in fact, in Cordelia's body. Sergeant Perks([livejournal.com profile] sergeant_ozzer) turns up and proceeds to blind Cordelia-in-Will's-body with their uniform. Cordelia explains the rules of the bar and Polly/Sergeant Perks starts getting drunk.
In another continuity, James Potter ([livejournal.com profile] gryffindorstag) is reassuringly confident. Cordelia-in-Will's-body is unsure, and Moiraine tests for illusions. She is unable to help and turns to James, who is, once again, reassuringly assured. The switch does not seem to inhibit a person's abilities (except in the case of poor Thom-in-Anthy's-body). James starts investigating the curry. Will-in-Cordelia's-body is uninformative. James checks the curry and is blindingly obvious. The first clues as to who did it start to appear. As James begins to try and reverse it, Mr. B. Natural (now Glorfindel-mun) appears, stating the blindingly obvious. (And the threads get really, really confusing to this poor Librarian-mun, so please forgive her if she screws up.) At this point, Mr. Wentworth ([livejournal.com profile] mr_wentworth) and The Librarian ([livejournal.com profile] ookookook switch, much to Will's dismay. Mr. B. Natural/Glorfindel starts to get drunk. (And who can blame him?) James attempts to reverse it. No luck. (Unsurprisingly.) Moiraine is sympathetic, but begins to have an idea of who it was. The-Librarian-in-Mr.-Wentworth's-body is surprisingly informative. (*proud*) Cordelia and Moiraine wonder about motivations in a side thread. Mr. B. Natural (as Glorfindel) is bizarre in another side thread. Players wibble about comment notifications. (*sympathises*) In another side thread, Fleur ([livejournal.com profile] leplusbeau) is amusing and unhelpful, but confirms, logically, that it was the curry.
ANYWAY. Will-as-Cordelia and James introduce themselves in strange circumstances, and Cordelia-as-Will suggests putting up a sign. A sign is made, courtesy of James. Meanwhile, in a different continuity, Glorfindel(in Mr. B. Natural) becomes hysterical and gets drunk. Introductions are

Nicely done. :}

Is someone else summarizing our bit, then?

[identity profile] toddbaby.livejournal.com 2004-08-09 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
It was some pretty good shit, I have to say. Kind of brought it all whole circle.

I only ask because all of the other curry threads have been summarized 'cept that one. :}

Well done. :)

[identity profile] sign-seeker.livejournal.com 2004-08-09 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
What? Confused in this thread? How can it be?

The only bit you got wrong that I can see is that it's Cordelia-in-Will's-body who is dismayed by the Librarian and Mr. Wentworth's switch (Will's basically facepalming with resignation at this point) and Will-in-Cordelia's-body who discusses motivations with Moiraine. Oh, and Will-in-Cordelia's-body has a conversation with drunk!panicking!Glorfindel too, but it's a fairly brief one. *shrug*

Still, I'm in awe of your l33t summarizing skillz. *grin*

[identity profile] sign-seeker.livejournal.com 2004-08-10 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
No worries; as I said, it was brief, so I figured you'd probably skipped it a-purpose. :)

[identity profile] muddypetticoats.livejournal.com 2004-08-09 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, there was no mun switching in the Dinner/Matthew swap. We just kept our respective journals, and played it straight. We thought it'd be fun to try out each other's canon. And oh, was it ever.

I just wanted to mention that to give Sam her due, because she utterly busted my shit up as Dinner. In fact, I may let her keep the cow. ;)

Sam, my love? We need to swap characters more often. That was fantastically fun. :D

[personal profile] true_desire 2004-08-09 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that was a bloody riot.
I really have to write more Dinner for you. I'd be tempted to pick up her brother Porterhouse if I thought it wouldn't cheapen the gag. XD

And switching again? Yes, please!
... I would really love to see you as Desire sometime. I bet you'd have a blast.
And then I wouldn't be the only evil one in this relationship.

You must write more Dinner for me. I insist upon it.

Porterhouse... I am dead. Utterly and completely dead. You have slain me. And I love you.

*laughs* And which character of mine would you venture if I were to try my hand as Desire?

[personal profile] true_desire 2004-08-09 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm.
I'm a little too Elizabethan-ly minded to do Liz. I could try, I just don't think I'd do her justice. Can't do Matt, because I'm not up on the canon. *weeps*
Oh. OH!
I would love to borrow Don. When you do him. :D

*grins* *nods maniacally* Porterhouse. Because you don't get a much more masculine name for a steak on the hoof. XD

And I will happily write you more Dinner. *drabbles Dinner/Chuchu for you*

[identity profile] muddypetticoats.livejournal.com 2004-08-09 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Mat's relatively easy. If you ignore the canon, all you have to do is make him swear a lot and then substitute "bloody", "Light" and "burn me" for the profane terms. ;)

But of course you may! XD

A steak on the hoof. I need to use that phrase somewhere.
