So, I has plotz. Let me show you them. Now with cut-tags because wow that got long.

1) Cheetahs in Perivale

So, in DW-verse at least, Perivale is portrayed as a run-down ugly step-sister to London. The shops are on edge of failing, the housing is getting on in years, and the youth tend to either move out or just run away. The youth center, in particular, is a mess - once upon a time it was a vibrant place where Perivale kids could hang out, get coffee and snacks, and generally stay out of trouble. It lost funding, and soon only a fitness/survival course taught by... well. A very strange man, to be honest, but he was the only thing going at the once-popular center. Then he was tragically murdered by unknown means (after all, there weren't any loose tigers that could explain all those claw marks) while in the center. After that, no one much went there anymore, since around that time a large fraction of the town's teenagers left for greener pastures.
Fast-forward a few years, and some bigwig in the city council has decided Perivale needs a little tarting up to attract new businesses. The first thing on the docket is to tear down that ramshackle center and build something else in it's place - a coffee shop maybe, or a bowling alley, or something.

What they don't know is those teenagers never left. Midge, a Cheetah-infected teenager and the Master infected the lot, and were going to use them to help kill off the Doctor and Ace. Their plans were foiled, but those kids could never get themselves free. They have been using the center as their home, and going out to other places, other planets to find their food. This new move to tear down the center, however, will remind the Cheetahs that there's easier food to get, much closer to home.

Who can get in on this: Quite a lot of folk, actually. Anyone who is on friendly terms with Ace, for starters. Anyone from the Torchwood/UNIT crew (weird disappearances/alien sightings in Perivale, with London Torchwood out for the count?) can also come in.


2) Ace: Rewrite/Redo of the audio drama 'Night Thoughts'

I'm going to preface this with: Anyone who listens to the drama, and wants to app Hex? PLZ DO YES. :D?
Anyway. A good, old-fashioned cracky horror plot. Complete with mad scientists, random bear traps, and a homicidal undead stuffed doll with the eyes of a dead girl. Who is debatably dead, actually. >.> I expect gratuitous screaming from the lot o'you.
I'll work on getting a script of the original drama up for those who don't want to find and/or download the original (though I recommend it, it's a lot of fun). The set-up is fairly basic - TARDIS makes an unexpected side-trip to a spooky island that's cut off from the mainland due to foul weather, and our intrepid heroes search for shelter, finding a nearby Victorian Mansion. Inside there are four older folk, all rather... jumpy. It is found to be that they are all very well educated. And then it is found that they are getting themselves murdered, one by one.

Who can get in on this: Same lot for plot the first: Because we all know after Countrycide the Torchwood crew wants another 'strange isolated people in the middle of nowhere' gig, and Ace has... interesting steering problems sometimes. She's new at it, give her a break.


3) Robin Hood: Pups in fur

In the Disney Robin Hood film, there's a scene where Robin competes in a archery tournament for a kiss from Maid Marian. This, of course, leads to an all-out brawl between the good people of Nottingham and the combined forces of Prince John and the Sheriff. This plot be easy plot: Robin likes a crowd. He really does. It appeals to his sense of the dramatic. So he's going to invite every person he can think of to come along. Of course, this being a Disney canon, one can't just go waltzing in looking like a human (or what have you). No, anyone that comes along will be a critter for the day. They do have to be Disney-standard 'good animals' in order to play on the side of the good guys - I love wolves and tigers and stoats and such just as much as the next vet-to-be, but Disney played by old-school rules. Except in this movie, rhinos and elephants are on the 'bad' list as well, mostly because the Prince needs impressive trumpeters and axemen. Oops?

Who can get in on this: Anyone on friendly terms with the foxy Hood. It can even be handwaved friendly terms, since I don't play him nearly as often as I ought.

Ooh.

[genarti]

Piotr comes to mind for the first one! But I don't know where he'll be then in terms of Marvel canon or being in-bar, so I hesitate to commit. River is maybe a possibility too for that one, but that depends on the attitudes of Simon et al to her going off and risking her neck on a friend's behalf again, and on what else is going on for the crew.

Robin Hood: HEE. Again, Piotr would be fabulous if plot allows; River is a secondary possibility. (Lan would be HILARIOUS, but alas he lack a sufficient sense of humor to go along for the purposes of just having fun. Or, uh, any sense of humor at all.)

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

All of them sound like fun. Depending on how soon though since semester crunch is a-coming.

Especially eyeing the third since yay Robin Hood, and fun for turning pups into critters. Like Kate here who was apped too late for the critterz fun.

[necessary_child]

For #3 - I've been considering apping Friar Tuck for a long time. I don't think I will - can't handle another crackpup - but I'd be up for playing him in-plot if you want him!

[slutbamwalla.livejournal.com]

If you want a Doctor for anything, I'm totally available.

Re: Ooh.

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

Part A) Ooooh, Piotr. I always loves me some Piotr. I'm not sure where the subplots are going yet, as it would a bit depend on who gets on board, but I'm sure he could go somewhere.

Part B) *looks terribly innocent* But they wouldn't be going off to risk their necks to start with, the TARDIS just... sorta accidentally lands in Perivale. And they can't let everyone be cat food, can they? *hides from Simon*

Part C) Either would be fantastic for Robin. Perhaps there can be a plot to quest for Lan's lost sense of fun. Poor Lan. >.>

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

I was thinking, if at all possible, to start pre-threading within the week. Mostly because if I don't get on the ball, the plots will disappear back into the ether they came from.

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome. I'm going to need people to play any and all of the Disney-pups.

[necessary_child]

:D I'll have to toss him into M_M too. I want him to meet Father Mulcahy, y'see.

Also! I totally want to have my Molly meet Ace. Could we arrange a playdate thread, please? I never seem to catch you online. D:

[wakeupnew]

If you need a Marian, I am there. I would have apped her a long time ago, if I only had the space.

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

The answer to that question is: always. Got any ideas on which incarnation you'd want to throw in to the ring?

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

Sure thing - any EP I make is open until the next one, so even if I"m not about, feel free to tag her up if she's been dropped in. Also, when I'm at school, my AIM (E1rohir) is pretty much always on, so you can ping me there even if I'm not about to let me know I've been tagged. :D

Also? Tuck-Mulcahy FTW. SRSLY.

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

:D!!!

Yes. Plz? :D?

[slutbamwalla.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about Eight, since he's contemporary to Ace's personal timeline. And I haven't played with him much, so it might be amusing.

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

Heee! That'd be awesome. I rather like him, even if he got almost no screen time.

[wolflord_andain]

Me! Er, and by me I don't really mean Galadan, because no.

BUT SOME OF MINE. Definitely.

Like Raven. *solemn*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Aaaaactually. *thoughtfuls*

What if Galadan did come on the first? To play 'guardian' so River can come along? >.> *shifties*

Of course, I kinda adore the idea of Raven too, so.

[iambetadraconis]

Wanting to get in on #1 and #2 makes me feel sad that I've never interacted with Ace before.

And I don't know if it'd come off as rushed if any of my pups got into a plot so soon after meeting her, unless it's one of those "how did I get entangled in this mess?" things.

[wakeupnew]

Yes yes! As long as I have the time, I'll totally do it. If it turns out to be a thing where I am v. busy and you would have to be waiting for me -- don't wait for me. Pass her to someone else. I will recover, I promise. :D

[muji]

I don't know which one I want to sign up for the most! :O!

[mendanddefend_archive]

I don't think any of my pups would be qualified for any of these plots, but I'll be watching with Great Interest. :)

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

If it helps, DW is one of the most 'hi-how-are-you-here-hold-this-lever-down-or-Earth-is-doomed' canons of EVER. If you want in, we can work something out. :D

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

:D! All?

*is not helpful, woe*

[varadia]

You are NOT HELPING.

*g*

Galadan would probably work for that, but probably Gen or Batya would need to weigh in on if that would actually help get River in. *shiftier*

Iiiiif you do not mind both at varying times and intensities of presence, I can probably swing that. If not--you wanna say Galadan if Gen tosses in River, and Raven if she doesn't? Or?

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

I do not mind both, but your 'not' plan sounds like it'd be easier on you.

*is easy* *but not like that*

Of course, Raven would be useful to come down on the side of 'let's not kill off of the cute killer cats, yes?' *snickerfits*

[varadia]

He can put them in his pockets! Wait.

*giggles*

I think I can work with both, because as long as Raven is shown GETTING there, he can vanish offscreen/be cheerfully godded doing Stuff, and then reappear when he is convenient. Or amusing.

Or, you know, about to play the damsel in distress!

Because it would be hard to imagine him not hanging around for Cheetah-things, given, you know--everything. *pats his stupid face, and hugs Ace*

[iambetadraconis]

That sounds good, even if some pups end up in a right panic over it.

*pokes them* C'mon. It'll be fun! And you'll even survive!

[blackswanevent.livejournal.com]

Muldoon?

IS SO THERE.

Cause' y,know, she's kind of pack and everything.

[there-is-a-me.livejournal.com]

Spoon + Ace's world = (Ace's parent's + crowbar) - telephone.

I do good maths?

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

You does great maths. Or, at least, so says Ace. She's hardly the most level head to ask on the topic. :D

[there-is-a-me.livejournal.com]

Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

Yay! \o/

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

An audience is always appreciated! :)

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

Of course! Only a handful of main characters have died, and there's usually decades between deaths. No danger at all.

...

Of course, sometimes characters end up in states of alternate life, but that's an entirely different matter.

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

... Raven totally needs to be the damsel in distress. Just so Ace can spend part of this plot massively facepalming. :D

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'm generally good with slow. :D

[varadia]

I am in NO WAY OPPOSED.

Poor Ace. We are so mean to her.

*snerks*

[iambetadraconis]

Of course, sometimes characters end up in states of alternate life, but that's an entirely different matter.

And then they wind up here again!

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

I could throw Atton in for 3. That'd be fun.
