Stone Angel plotfoo, sorta
Those of you who've seen ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
unweeping_stone's user info? I'd like to offer the following universes and times for you to throw your pups into, since my pups exist in them and will be able to get yours back to the Bar if they show up and find them.
- Belar: Exists in the world of the Belgariad, which is a swords-and-sorcery world with seven thousand years (if not more) of available history. Your pup can be stuck in a low-tech cosm with active, if somewhat sparse, magic and gods for as long as you like before they encounter the Children of the Bear God (which is to say, the Alorn peoples of the north) who'll bring the weirdo to the Temple of Belar, whereupon an encounter with Belar himself can get your pup back to the world of indoor plumbing.
- The Brigadier: Currently his personal timeline is somewhere in the 1970s. His world has regular issues with aliens showing up and causing trouble, and with time travelers doing all sorts of funky things. Someone who displayed sufficiently disruptive tech and/or magic might well find themselves closely scrutinised by UNIT, at which point the Brig might conceivably be persuaded to get them back to the Bar just to get them out of his hair and out of his world.
- Whistler: Exists in 1993 San Francisco. No visible magic in his world. Some funky Cold War tech still going on.
- Harry and Annie Wells: Exist in 2005 in the Slayerverse, in an England with quite a lot of conspiracies going on in addition to the usual Slayerverse weirdness.
- Ray Stantz: I can offer you three different time frames for him, thanks to the fact that as far as the Ghostbusters contingent at Milliways is concerned, there are three different canon continuities. The first Ghostbusters movie concludes somewhere around October of 2004; GB II takes place several years afterwards. That's our first available time frame. The Ray in the Bar is from the 2003 comic book miniseries Ghostbusters: Legion, which took place in 2004, six months after the battle with Gozer. For Ray in the bar, it's currently 2007. That's the second available time frame. The third...
The third is the late 1980's, and it's animated. That would be the Real Ghostbusters cartoon. That time frame is one hundred per cent pure crack and if 1987 or so would be the past for your pup, then it's available for cracktacular immersion. Bear in mind that this particular continuity looks animated. Ray has reported that everything is visually two-dimensional, as if drawn in a cartoon, despite not actually being flat. Wanna mess with your pup's head? 1987 is open.
- Quinn Abercromby: For him, it's 2020 and there are dragons and the world is sheer bloody hell. If your pup is from far enough down the line that 2020 is the past and you'd like them to have a go at the Mad Max lifestyle, only with dragons, his time is available.
And... ah, hell, might as well out myself.
- Hektor of Troy: 1250 or so BCE. Bronze Age. Mycenean Greek culture in what's now western coastal Turkey, in the ancient world as conceived by Mary Renault in her novels The King Must Die and The Bull From The Sea. This is the time frame of Greek mythology, post-Hercules but pre-Trojan War. It is not, however, flamingly god-riddled or highly magical; Ms. Renault's world was an attempt to make mythology and realism meet. The gods are there and do act, but they're in the background and considerably more subtle than you might find in your typical book of stories.
I can't offer you the Avatar world, because Admiral Zhao is bound. Sorry. But everything else? If it's listed above and you want the Stone Angels to shove your pups into one of those time frames, I'm available. Talk to me.
