I didn't do much - fight scenes are not my cuppa - but I did mess with Charlie. Which is ongoing.

I have not yet had time to thread Crowley much in the Allpocalypse, because of uh. Reasons. BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SLOWTIMING UP A STORM. AND ALL OF HIS THREADS ARE STILL OPEN FOR TAGGING, I AM JUST SAYING.

Of particular interest/stay-tuned-ness right now are his -03/-02 threads:

- Crowley picks up the Earth Star. (Still hilariously barely-even-started.)
- Crowley helps scuttle the nuke. (Actually complete!!!)
- Crowley staggers into triage to recover from the effects of using the Star, both physical and, uh, otherwise. Aziraphael holds his hair back as he pukes (true love, people), and there may or may not be certain emotional truths. (Somewhat advanced? MORE TO COME.)

And then I slept for nine hours and it was amazing, the end.

Ahahahaha I have SO MUCH and it isn't finished yet. And I do not have time to write it all up right now because I am going in to work today. *weeps bitter tears*

But oh my god, you guys, THIS PLOT. YOU PEOPLE. WITH YOUR AMAZINGNESS.

It's not Allpocalypse related -- or, rather, it's pre-Allpocalypse -- but Aspen and I finished our Gaeta-Hoshi slowtime last night. Which is probably the last bit of happiness those two are going to get before canon stomps all over them. Waugh.

Over in the Allpocalypse: so far, Olivia has fought beasties with Mal, Charlie McGee, Jack Bauer, Katya, Andrew, and Raylan; she's also had a moment alone near the end. And I echo Sophie's "all threads are still open for tagging" sentiments!

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. This plot is best, and I am having absurd amounts of fun both writing and reading along. :D :D :D

Can I possibly throw Liz at Olivia somewhere?? I would love to throw Liz at Olivia somewhere!

OMG YES please do. :D!!!!

... POPCORN.GIF

:D

CAN I DO THIS BEFORE WORK
LET'S SEE.

The easy ones: Apollo fought some beasties; Cata and Sam boggled at the damage after the fact.

CLAUDIA:
Had a case of psychic playlist before the ball got rolling, first of all. AND THEN:
Never could get the hang of Thursdays (and found out Tyler got chucked back out of her world into the bar), chucked a nuke into a wormhole with a little help from Adrian and Crowley, chilled under a tree in the triage area, freaked out a little under said tree as well, quoted the Allpocalypse chat re: making wormholes, ONE SEC, and about made me tear up re: -00...

And then we landed. she dropped by bartending, was entirely too cheerful at Riley, and finally went the hell HOME.

Mind the whitetext, folks; at some point when I don't have to leave for work in ten minutes tops I'll try to write up my sources.
In conclusion: :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

OKAY, WHITETEXT SOURCING.

Claudia's psychic playlist first: "Five Years," David Bowie; "Tables and Chairs," Andrew Bird; REM, of course; and "All the Children Sing," Todd Rundgren.

one-off reaction to the shaking: "You and Me," Dave Matthews Band

getting the hang of Thursdays: "Bad Moon Rising," CCR

nuke-scuttling: A Randy Newman song I don't know the name of; "Ruins," Cat Stevens; "Fake Palindromes," Andrew Bird; "Fear is Never Boring," the Raisins; "Quiver and Quake," Elf Power; "Call and Answer," Barenaked Ladies

triage tree: "Such a Beautiful Night," Geggy Tah

-01 freakout: Canon (the last thing Joshua says before disappearing into the interdimensional space); "Grace," Jeff Buckley; "Scythian Empires," Andrew Bird

HEY GUYS, I CAN MAKE WORMHOLES, ONE SEC: "New Beginning," Tracy Chapman; "Time Warp," Rocky Horror; "Where Does the Time Go?," Todd Rundgren

-00: "Free Falling," Tom Petty; "Another Day," RENT; "Closing Time," Semisonic (also, the part where I about broke down)

landing: "Changes," David Bowie; "All the Children Sing," Todd Rundgren (which is actually a quite cheerful song, despite that 'the universe explodes apart' bit); "Better Days," Goo Goo Dolls; canon (the hidden instructions in Rheticus' compass); "Call and Answer," BNL (just to bring it full-circle)

home-going, also quoted outright in the accompanying OOM: "Mandelbrot Set," Jonathan Coulton.

WHEW.

(Also, Apollo got whitetext "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" in the landing post.)

I think "Political Science" is the Randy Newman tune you're looking for.

Very likely, thanks. It's been ages since I heard it, and that was on the radio (I think the show did name it, but as I said: ages ago), but that line stuck with me.

OMG the awesome was awesome on awesome toast with awesome sauce! I'll have to link my activities later but I only got a foot or two into the waters and most of these are still open as per the norm I'm super busy with family stuff.

Thalia fought monsters with Apollo wherein she learned his true feelings for Zeus, defended the retreat with Annabeth and Katya. Later she her door returned and she left for canon.

Angrir/616-Ben fought with Hellboy and Atton Rand, scared McCabe and seriously freaked out Tyler.

Val did what teleports do best in combat by popping about and helping where she could in the main battle and will be leaving for Enzo's world once the thread finishes.

WE SURVIVED.

omg. I still have a ton of stuff to tag back to/people to talk to about THINGS for finishing up slowtimes/etc-type-whatnot. (I haven't forgotten!!)

But yes.

Yes. I actually participated and it was AMAZING and I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR.

You are all AWESOME.

And seriously, my reaction to pretty much all the threads I've been reading so far?

I LOVE YOU

LOVE

LOVE

LOVE

I NEED TO READ MR. POND'S THREADS DON'T I :DDDDDD ETA: CAUGHT HIM. It was like the Where's Waldo of the apocalypse!

Edited 2012-02-26 17:24 (UTC)

AHAHA

I LOVE YOU TOO <33333333333

AND YES. I MAY HAVE FAILED A BIT AT TAGGING WITH RORY AFTER ... uh. My brain started dying or something ridiculous like that.

BUT!

HE WILL PARTICIPATE.

Also - WE NEED TO DISCUSS THE PUMPKIN DEVELOPMENT, DON'T WE. :D

All those gifs are brilliant and perfect.

I loved reading all of Hermione and Annabeth's threads and spotting Rory when I could find him. *confettis*

*glees*

It has been an absolute blast and a half, doing a little here and there. I didn't get to do as much as I wanted to, and *stares at schedule* I don't know how much I'll get to do in the coming weeks, but oh man.

This was a fantastic way to spend part of my Reading Week. :D!!

OH MY GOD I CAN'T STOP STARING AT THAT FIRST GIF. I JUST KEEP WATCHING AND WATCHING AND LAUGHING LIKE A LOON. PERFECT.

ALSO

*SQUEAK*

ROOOOOOOOOORY.

♥ ♥ ♥

hahahaha it is the BEST, isn't it? OH SAM. YOUR FACES ARE OFTEN PRECIOUS.

<3333

I friggin' loved the Annabeth/Thalia threads. They may have been short but damned if I didn't sniff a bit in the last one.

SHORT BUT SWEET, YO

Seriously, I enjoyed them so so so much. Thank you for shooting me an email about them!

<33

I'll get around to mine (maybe), but:

This thread made me giggle enough to scare the cat.

*draws hearts around the both of them*

<3333333 ! The couple that snarks during battle together, stays together.

So many of us actually PLAYED for the first time in forever! I was one of them (us?). It was great. :D

Here is a summary of where I was a couple of days ago. Since then, Cal and Claudia have developed the kind of bond that only comes from surviving the Apocalypse together, and Cal filled Yesfir in on the situation. Sort of. Meanwhile, Applegate and Ava pretended together that fighting against the Apocalypse is like totally evil and stuff.

I even managed to squeeze in Katniss for a quiet spot of tea with Sherlock.

I love you all, omg. I've had so much fun threading and reading other people's amazing threads. We are all AWESOME.

Ohhhhhh my God, guys. You guys. You are all so amazing. Kate Barlow made me straight-up cry, Crowley and Aziraphael are WONDERFUL, Olivia Dunham is a freaking BAMF, the Medic came in for some really hilarious "ha. ha. ha. ha" type interactions, PUSS IS STILL MAKING ME CRY and by the way if you want to BE SAD FOREVER may I direct your attention to Jonathan and Andrew and Baby and Bar. CRYING I'M CRYING.

Ava Wilson was my only lady on deck for this, and she fought a metric ton of monsters in the company of friends new, less-new, and estranged.

She ended up spilling the beans about her demonic powers to way too many people, sometimes in ten words or less! Sometimes this was fine because they were the Devil.

Then she and Hermione stopped a giant pumpkin from summoning a Great Old One in the library by accidentally tearing a hole in spacetime. However, they still found themselves trapped up there! (ONGOING.)

In our brave new world, Ava starts sweeping up mainly out of OCD, talking to Charlie and officially meeting Han in the process.

Sameth eventually tells her everything is alive and fine, but before that and/or in a slightly different continuity, she stumbles across recent ex-boyfriend Riley Poole and ends up showering at his place, eating pancakes, explaining about her demonic powers and meeting his niece.

Post-apocalyptic breakfast is the most important meal of the day!!

Okay, I can pull all of mine together as I have the week off.

Will heard the first crack and met Kreyu and Waco Jim, then helped Wonder Woman move Jack Harkness.

Then came the beasties which Will fought with Kreyu, Waco Jim, Crowley, Atton, Apollo, and then briefly met Katya, rested with Aziraphael.

In hours 3 and less, Sameth also got involved but first to finish Will. He fought with Teja, Waco Jim again-flying peens are in this thread, got Gus out of the way, then limped into triage. From triage he decided to stay and fight with Sariel and Waco Jim. He landed here.

Now Sameth thought he was out of it and was out in canon when he was needed in hour 3. Suddenly he found himself in Milliways where he was beside Ava. Then he watched a variation on a conversation he'd seen before with a different ending. When things began again Claudia and Ava found him.

In Gotland William is dealing with worrying about what's happening here but hasn't been involved. I love this Bar and this plot so much!! Also looking over all these threads, I understand why I was barely functional for the last half of this week.

Edited 2012-02-26 19:19 (UTC)

YOU GUYS. WE MADE IT. LOOK WE MAAAAADE IT. /yelling

This week, oh man. This week. It has been quite a long time since I've been so excited about anything - let alone excited about RP - and yet I found myself shattering my sleeping pattern into a thousand tiny pieces as I abused the refresh button and tried to READ ALL THE THINGS and TAG ALL THE THINGS. I have had SO MUCH FUN threading, and now I'm going to try to find all my threads.

PRE-ALLPOCALYPSE:

Skellig's crash landing into the bar involves a Meatier Shower; Dan Evans and Ben Wade decide that getting the hell out of dodge may not be a bad idea; Carl ends up on Pandora when the door breaks.

HOUR FIVE:

Han and Ava teamed up for GREAT SMITING JUSTICE, kicking ass and taking names. Shortly thereafter, Han got thrown through the wall (handwaving timey-wimey fun FTW!) and ended up back on the Falcon, unconscious and facedown on the deckplates.

Jake Lonergan also wanders into the bar and stumbles into the fray, briefly teaming up with K to zap some alien ass and take names.

HOUR FOUR:

With the stables being defended, Doc makes an effort to raid the infirmary for medical supplies, so that he can head out and start finding people to help as the number of injured begins to mount. He's joined by TEAM MEDICOS: Bones McCoy, Simon Tam, and Elrond and they head out to set up a triage area.

HOUR THREE:

As things begin to deteriorate, Doc runs into Sariel on one of his restocking trips back inside; she joins TEAM MEDICOS out back. He also enlists the help of Raylan in getting up to room 25 so he can stock up on ammo. At some point, he runs into Sallie Reynolds and gets tasked with the job of trying to find Mike; she also bandages the burn on his forearm before he heads back out into the chaos.

HOUR TWO:

The triage area has been established and the wounded are arriving in waves. Simon takes care of Crowley and Waco Jim; Doc manages to get Claudia some water and granola bars, as well as helping to fix Will's leg (with the help of McCoy) and he pulls some harpy-bone fragments out of Raylan's side; McCoy takes care of Jack Bauer; Elrond enlists Gus into service, as well as works on fellow-elf Glorfindel. (Sidenote: GO TEAM MEDICOS!!!!)

On the battlefield, Skellig and Katya join forces to fight an array of creatures, working as partners to dispatch a large number of Dark beasties as well as some just plain weird ones. (Especially the talking lobsters. Ded-a-chum?)

HOUR ONE:

And then, Milliways is dying.

Growing more exhausted by the death in the air, Skellig starts to lose his grip, but he's not about to let Katya go into the shadows just yet.

And Doc, on one last desperate run to the bar for medical supplies, finds himself in trouble. Coyote comes to his rescue and oh-so-politely (read: throws him into a fireman's carry) informs him that he is NOT sticking around for the end of this fight, evacuating him (and McCoy) out to Raven's cabin before the worlds end.

***

GOOD GRAVY.

SO MUCH FUN.

There are posts in the works right now for the aftermath for everyone, and they are killing me with awesome. In short:

Edited (fixed a weird linebreak) 2012-02-26 20:03 (UTC)

Y'all, I am about to flee for shenanigans and Twin Peaks night with some BFFs, so my own linkage-filled flail is TBA, but:

Can I just say that the past week has been a blitz of amazing.

You people. I just. There are so many hearts in my eyes. This excitement is contagious and fabulous, and you are all crazy-inspiring GENIUSES. (I have not threaded like this in more than two years!) Ahhhh, I love you all.

I've been waiting for ages to use this gif:

I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR!

That's really all I have to say.

I have Jake in at 05 - and I'll slowly throw him other places, as time and brain permits. He has a sword. He finds this cool.

Before the Allpocalypse, I'm still ridiculously proud of this Kait EP (even if I can't find it on DW >.<). I had fuuun with the html, oh yes. AND SHE'S OUT OF HER CANON. YES! I'm also gleeful over her yay universe rebooted reaction.

And don't look now, but there might be a Russian astronaut cursing up a storm for the first time in years.

<.<

>.>

:D?

I totally ended up failing at getting anyone in the Allpocalypse 'til today :p. But Dixie's going in in a second.

PUP JOURNAL 'CAUSE I'M LAZY.

Link to where she's at, plz!

Dix is over here!

(Eee, Doc! I've wanted a thread for the two of them forever!)

Okay, because of work lame and then weekend stuffs I missed all of the shout out threads and gushing on the awesome you all possess, so I first want to say that here.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

All of it. All of you.

It's been awhile since I've had this much fun, and had so many threads, and bwah, stayed up so late, and it was totally awesome.

I started with a bit of cracky fun here with Pleakley, thanks to Crys and Raylan.

And then I had fun times with Logan and X-23 and a new encounter with Jim which was also fun.

And I earned the title of monster with Puss and Baby, and also this. I'm soooorry!

(except for the part where I'm not >.>)

So yeah, most excellent time, y'all. Writing with the chance to play with folks again, and for the first time, and reading, AUGH sooo many great threads out there, my heart was broken more than once, for srs.

*applauds all of you*

YOU ARE A MONSTER BTW

BUT A WONDERFUL MONSTER

Sweetness and light, yo!

Sugar and spice, and all that jazz.

*G*

Ahhhhhhh, YOU.

Thank you so much for Pleakley-Raylan. You don't even know -- I was, like, sob-hiccupping, I was crying so hard with laughter. Graceland! CRYING.

(And then just reading Puss's interactions? Yeah, crying for real.)

Basically: <333!

Bwaaaaaah! That thread had me rolling so hard, and I give all the props to Raylan for not shooting the guy, as he had every reason and right to XD

(I'm soooorry for making you cry for reals. Except that you know I'm really not. Does it help if I promise to make it all better? :D?)

Puss and Baby made ME cry, and I was part of it.

*fistbumps!*

AUGH! YES! Me too.

But youuu! OMG YOUUU!

The Baby and Bar thread, and AUGH! AUGH! AUUUUUUGH! Andrew Wells's goodbye.

Break my heart why don't you?!

*CLINGS AND WIBBLES*

*CLINGSBACK*

seriously we ARE monsters

And GAH! How in the hell did I miss adding my Hellboy threads?

I was writing his exit as I was doing this yesterday, and didn't add him?

*FAILS*

The epic throwdown filled me with delight in the way only heavy hitting combat can, and BWEEE! LIIIZ!

There is no way to contain my glee on that one. So, so happy to see so many people active again for this, including myself!

Mucho props to all of you!
