Weekend Entertainment - Plotting Meme for March!

[hey35andholding]

Sorry this is late!

~Plotting Meme~

Welcome to the second Milliways Plotting meme! What's a Plotting Meme? It's a place to gather new plots for characters you're stalled pn, characters new to bar, or pups you're dying to find rivals, friends, or romantic partners for! It's also a place to toss out ideas for larger plots. Looking to run a season-specific event or mini-plot? Ask here!

Here's how to particpate:

1: Copy and paste the information in one of the text boxes below into a comment; the bottom one if you're looking for a plot for your character or the top if you have a large, bar-wide plot you'd love to get other characters involved in.

For Individual Characters:

2: Give us your character's name, journal address, and a brief description of who they are and what they do - no more than a brief paragraph that summarizes this and their current bar plot.

3: Then tell us what kind of relationship you're looking to cultivate: romance, rivalry, a business partner, etc. Do this for each pup you'd like plot for.

4: After posting your comment, scan the post, see if anyone else's offer cataches your eye, and comment to them! If you've threadded with someone before and want to build on the interaction you've had, tell them so! Details can be worked out in private or they can be worked out on the meme, whichever you prefer.


For Plots And Mini-Events

2: List where your plot will be taking place, which characters it will involve and what you're looking for.

3: Continue as above.

Plot With Rocks In: Coming to a bar near you!

[minkhollow]

Plot Idea: Plot With Rocks In: Quasi-sentient, contagious, near-fatal (only near-fatal because it'll get chased out before anyone dies) rock and roll, brought to you by the Disc. For an example, check out the plot tag from last time.
where it's taking place: In the bar! I'm thinking mid-April or so, at the moment, and it'll run for about two weeks, as last time.
Characters Involved: not_elvish is serving as your friendly neighborhood Patient Zero (I need to get him in some more); Claudia Donovan's going to get the bug hard.
I Am Looking For:
Anyone who wants to jump in on either side, particularly if they can help stop the madness or otherwise recognise it's a problem. Still grokking how to do that without pulling a literal deus ex machina, as Apollo is not going to like the stuff. Ideas welcome!

[bjornwilde]

Name: Me?

Character: Ben Grimm
Character Journal: ever_lovin
Information: Outside of me taking advantage of Milliways time bending, Ben is hip deep in Nazis, primordial Norse deities and their minions attacking the world, in this case specifically New York. He's just been "cured" of being one of the aforementioned minions. Now he is free to get revenge except he has two kids to get to safety first and then there's all the civilians and then a hospital. Basically, he's not going to get his satisfaction but he is going to save a lot of people which is more important right?

I Am Looking For: Pups who want to smash giant Nazi robots? Or maybe technical folks who want to help resort power and infrastructure to a hospital? This thread is over due so if no one is interested I'll likely just write it up next week. I could also use a Franklin (and I know there's one out there).

Teja with his canonical harp and milli-canonical guitar totally needs to play a part in this! He's suspicious and often assumes the worst, but he's also very susceptible to 'new music from the future', so he might catch the bug hard at first, then realise at some stage and start to try and battle it.

[kaabii]

Name: My name? Frankie

Character: KIRBY!

Character Journal: kaabii

Information: Cute li'l pink vidya game character. Can inhale stuff and sometimes gain ~abilities~ from them! Generally just likes to laze about, eat, sleep, and play.

I Am Looking For: Anything, really. Kirby's pretty friendly so he'll get along with anyone.Although I would like to see him involved in some sort of action plot, or action in general--after all, what's the fun of playing Kirby if he can't fight? (in b4 pinball!kirby / air riding!kirby / etc)

[yakalskovich]

Name: Maru

Character: Antinoos
Character Journal: no_mere_marble

Information: Antinoos is a late-classical Greek, quite educated, and perhaps a little bit too sure of himself. He needs to see some things to make his mind boggle more. His general indcredulity about Milliways will be cured by it turning up in a different place when I EP him next, but he can use some more unsettling.

I Am Looking For: Anybody who can take him to their world for a visit and/or provide him with really outrageous and (for him) anachronistic things or ideas. See the Dalek thing that happened with Zed's meta-Sherlock in MM for scale. Also, eventually, somebody to history-puncture him. I have been throwing ideas around with the Hadrian mun I have for OOMs, but for that to be set into motion, somebody has to tell him in Milliways about when and how he died, and what happened afterwards. Would not be very hard for an educated pup, as his death and Hadrian's reaction to that is basically everything we know about Antinoos, historically.

[kaabii]

I love this I loved this I love it still but

I think I am morally obligated to keep Kirby out of this plot for reasons

Unless everyone wants the bar to be destroyed again

[kaabii]

Although anime!Mike is an exaggeration; this is what happens when he has the Mike ability in the games.

But that doesn't preclude the possibility of SUPER MIKE

[muji]

Name: Muji

Character: Kit Walker / the Phantom
Character Journal: oldjunglesaying
Information: I'm playing Kit from basically the Billy Zane movie perspective, with comics background, and futzing with a few things. I haven't decided yet if James Remar killed his dad or not, because that was kind of lame.

I Am Looking For: Excuses to just mess with his head. I haven't played Kit enough yet to have a barcanon per se, but I want to put him out here in case someone has a use for a dude in purple rubber.

[muji]

Name: Muji

Character: April Ludgate
Character Journal: mightbeawizard
Information: Currently somewhere near Parks and Rec 2.01, and April is still with Derek/Ben. So far, Milliways is just weird and confusing, but so much more awesome than doing anything work related.

I Am Looking For: Building friendships, I think. With people who won't mind the fact that nine times out of ten she's going to sound like an asshole to them.

[ladysingsthe]

You know who's sarcastic, Latina, and dated a guy named Ben (though not at this point) ...?

Who I DON'T PLAY ENOUGH RIGHT NOW??

I'm just saying.

The possibilities of a Wendy Watson-April Ludgate meeting intrigue me.

[wakeupnew]

*__________*

[wakeupnew]

I'm not 100% sure of how she would react to April, but I totally volunteer Liz! I think they have similar senses of humor, though I don't know if Liz is going to think she's the greatest thing ever or be unable to stand her.

Re: Plot With Rocks In

[inlovewithwords]

Lois has a thing for 80s karaoke. Self-explanatory ending.

Tavi, on the other hand, has exactly no musicality or poetry in his soul, and has something against things like this. So I can volunteer once for either side! (Hurrah, balance)

[no_vampires_plz]

I am SO getting Twilight in on this. Granted, music in her canon tends to be more of the Once More With Feeling variety, but given that she has her own quasicanonical rap song now...

[muji]

I approve of these adventures. Just look for an April EP!

[muji]

That's what I'm finding to be so odd about having April - I'm not used to having characters who don't give a shit about what other people think. Must dissociate from my own attitudes as a person!!!!

[afullmargin]

Two characters, one post!

Name: Amber/afullmargin

Character: Michael Westen
Character Journal: luvs_yogurt
Information: Ex-spy avoiding dealing with life in Miami (you know, with the whole crazy ex, hypochondriac mother and people trying to kill him every time he turns around twice). Currently in season 1 canon minus the Fiona romantic subplot, for those following along.

I Am Looking For: Distraction! A job that needs a super spy's touch, a drinking buddy, a pseudo-romance (he's broken, chances are... it won't work out) - anything to keep him busy.


Character: Burton "Gus" Guster
Character Journal: thesupersmeller
Information: Thirty-five, pharmaceuticals rep/co-owner of Psych psychic detective agency/private detective. Gus is going through a bit of a rough time right now, since Shawn and Juliet got together he feels like he's pretty much lost his best friend and closest companion. He's also (quietly) jealous that they've got each other, making him the lonely third wheel to their 'true love'.

I Am Looking For: Dates! Good, bad, horrible... would love to play out some awkward (they will be, he's the walking embodiment of awkward) dates that can go as good or bad as you please. He's straight, but mun wouldn't object to an even more awkward set up with a guy.

[batyatoon]

Hmmm. Would Antinoos like to meet Cordelia Vorkosigan? *cheerful*

[yakalskovich]

I think that would be an excellent idea! She's from the far future and probably quite able to impress him

When can she be found?

[batyatoon]

I could drop her in the bar pretty much whenever, or I could tag her into Antinoos's next EP?

[yakalskovich]

I think if you could drop her into Antinoos' next EP, that would be great. When are you usually around?

[batyatoon]

Excellent. :D I'm around most evenings (aside from Fridays) from ten-ish to sometime between midnight and one, Eastern time. You?

[yakalskovich]

I'm in Europe, so that is the wee small hours for me. We might try next Sunday? Or start today?

[batyatoon]

Ooh. :/ Let's try for next Sunday, then, yeah. Or whenever you next have an EP, I'll tag in with her and we can superslowtime?

[yakalskovich]

Okay, I'll add a comment here when I next EP him, and then we can start with the superslowtime and then perhaps speed up next Sunday?
