Longest overdue intro post in the history of ever

So. I've been a Milliplayer for months now, and not only have I had very little time for actual gameplay, I have completely forgotten to join here and get talking to all you wonderful people.

I'm a tentatively shy mun playing mostly extrovert pups all over LJ (post season 5 Lorne from Angel: The Series and Gabriel, as crazed and cryptic as ever, from Constantine, in Milliways) and while my free time seems to steadily diminish, I'll gladly spend as much time as I possibly can, rping and making up grand stories with lovely strangers.

Also, for the Whedon pups and their players out there, I seem to miss every last one of your posts, for which I blame only the curse of living in very different time zones. I would like very much to get involved with the Whedonverse side of things, as playing Lorne is one of my favourite pastimes, but he's only so much fun on his lonesome.

With that in mind, what little I have read of the different comics he's featured in, including the newest batch where Whedon's had a big say in things... Oh, dear. I don't want to blurb out spoilers, so that's all I'll say in an open post. Oh, dear.

And on that note, I have seriously thought over where I want Lorne to be, timeline wise, in regards to the MilliWhedon crew.

Yes, he's in New York. Maybe he's even been there as long, if not longer, than the others.

...yes, I need plot like the air I breathe. Why do you ask?

Obviously, I am not a representative of the Whedonverse you speak of, but it's nice to see Lorne about. :D :D :D

this comment is not in any way constructive

Can I just say? I am SO WITH YOU on the "oh, dear" front.

Also: GLEE. Plot can be plotted.

We shall confer! There will be conferring! Possibly even ... a conference!

Hrm. *thinky*

Can your computer handle meebo? If so, and if you've got an AIM handle, you can ping me at batyathetoon.

Alternately, we could just use the LJ message feature?

And I am, of course, in for any of Batya's nefarious plots with Jonathan.

OH YAY! LORNE! Yay, again, and welcome.

So, I recently found out (and I'm not sure why I didn't know this already), that in French, Tom Marvolo Riddle is called Tom Elvis Jedusor.

Yes, Elvis.

Something must be done with this factoid. Perhaps Lorne can help! *giggles*

Tom's punctured from back in the old days when we didn't have the rules set down totally. Leastways he knows there are stories "loosely-based" on his version of the Wizarding world in Andrew and Faith's world (which he's visited, by the by).

Yes, take a minute on the Elvis. It's MIND-BOGGLING!

Wesley and Angel both, actually. It's like one-stop-shopping in the Buffyverse. =)

I'm totally with Steph - yay for more Whedon versers!!! We can all be anxious about what he is going to do to us next together XD

And yay Lorne!!! He is probably my favorite character from Angel.

I am with Steph and Aly, if belatedly -- not my corner of the Whedonverse, but WHEE! We should thread sometime. Oh yes. :D

I do indeed play River! Also her mother Regan, but not terribly often; River's one of my main ones.

One thing I love about Milliways (and, okay, any panfandom game really) is that you don't need any elaborate crossovery excuse to have two characters from different worlds talk. They're both in the bar! Okay, go! (That said, River's visited Andrew's version of the Buffyverse a time or two...)

And I am a crazy night owl and also entirely happy with slowtiming, so we can definitely work something out. :D!

*BEAMS* Batya is a marvelous enabler in this way. And yay, I am glad you liked the threads! I certainly had fun with them.

And ahahaha. No, I get what you mean! And tossing River at other psychic types is always fun. Well, it's always fun for me -- not necessarily for her, but I am okay with that. *serene*

Mmph. Good question! I do usually like to talk to the other mun to some extent, before or during, but we can totally hash it out here. :)

In terms of ground rules, I'm okay with pretty much anything in terms of what's picked up, really. He can see whatever you want, miss whatever you want -- about the only caveats I have are that a) I can never guarantee she won't freak out depending on what he says and how the thread goes, and b) if you want to do anything like put things into her head or create a situation she can't easily escape from, please do either ask first or give me an easy way to contact you while we're threading.

For River's part, I am happy to try to have her pick up or miss anything in particular that you want her to. :) (And for the record, I've seen some of AtS, but my knowledge of it isn't comprehensive. Yet. I am slowly working on this!) In general, I figure she's picking up on a fair amount that she isn't saying in any given thread, but I will keep what exactly that is ambiguous until a thread requires otherwise and/or you give me specific permission to have her know something in particular. Oh hey, and do let me know if he has any psychic shields or inherent demon-y mental defenses or anything else that might affect how much she senses from him.

Beyond a basic "hey, her psychicness works this way and you can contact me by this method if the thread throws us any major curveballs," I am totally good with playing things by ear. :D And really, I'm pretty much good with whatever so long as you're good with River reacting ICly to it. If I minded guarding my character's mental privacy or having her get stressed out, I would not play River Tam.

(Oh, and, for the record: AIM is Zebosity, email is ep_birdsall AT yahoo DOT com, I've never used the LJ messenger thingo but I'm happy to give it a try, and OOC comments dropped into a thread also are wonderful things.)

Aaaand that was really long-winded. OH WELL. *grin*

*steeples fingers*

Awesome! I think this is plenty for playing by ear, and I shall keep an eye out for you and for Lorne. *beams* And you can always toss him into a post of hers for insta-slowtime, if that ends up being best with time zones.

Heading home from work soon myself, so I was about to say something similar. :) Talk to you later!

And yeah, I am compulsive about memorying all my threads, too, with all my characters. It has wound up being very useful upon occasion.

*grins* Excellent.

She may well be, uh, startled. But she tends to get over that relatively quickly. Milliways gives one lots of practice at that kind of thing.
