Creepy Doll plot is go

[melomancer]

Here in a minute I am going to post Anton coming in with the Creepy Doll sneaking in behind him. I expect the plot to run this week with the beginning of the end to happen this Friday and all loose ends wrapped up over the weekend (though CD or a piece of it may slink off to return another day). Before the plot begins, I thought I would mention a few things that came up last month when I presented the idea (here is a convient link to that post).

This plot is completely voluntary. While the doll is hiding in Milliways, whether it or any other infected toys interact with your pup is up to you.

If you want to participate, I invite you to run wild with the idea. Write the doll or infected toys in as you will. I do have a journal set up for the doll if you'd like a drive by tag but since I am still busy at work, I want to leave it open to the muns to write the plot for themselves. Requests for a tag from the doll can be made here or by PM creepydoll.

Now about the doll (and thus the infected toys) itself:

• The doll is magic and reads Dark, possible evil. I would not say demonic though. Think Yin and Yang or Dark and Light sides of the Force for you poor Westerns who don't understand how things really are.
• The doll's magic is nothing more than animation. Think of a free range animatronic at a Haunted House.
• The doll's purpose is to create fear. It does this by scaring or startling. It does not generate fear just by existing, it must act to create a reaction.
• The doll cannot cause serious injury. Scratches like those a bug would produce sure but nothing more.
• The doll is easy to destroy but fast. I would ask that Anton and Katya be the ones to take care of the Creepy Doll itself but any infected toys are up for grabs.

Now the plot or at least an outline of what I have in mind:

• Today, Anton returns to the Bar and the doll sneaks in behind him. It then hides since its creator was just busted. Spotting or near sightings of the doll begin.
• Tuesday, sightings continue until the doll makes its way to the Lost and Found box at the end of the day. (I'll make a post with the Creepy Doll when this happens.
• Wednesday, Anton will return having determined a loose end exists and likely found its way to Milliways. He is still unsure what found its way to Milliways though.
• Thursday, day of infected toys unleashed. Anton will likely be around but feel free to run with the plot as you will.
• Friday, Anton and Katya begin actively hunting the Creepy Doll. Once they catch the doll, all infected toys will lose their enchantment and go inanimate. I expect this to run the weekend but Bar wise it will happen and wrap up Friday. 

Next Monday, I plan on a back room post with links to all the fun so I ask you to please do a tiny tag with creepy doll or PM me with a link to threads including the plot.

Feel free to leave any questions here. = ]

Thursday sounds like an amazing day for Tesla practice!

Awesome! And I will be getting back to our Hank/Helena thread some point today, I swear. Lots of work waiting for me this morning. = ]

[damncompass]

No worries. Take your time. :D

Mind an Autor tag for Anton after an "I am completely oblivious to CD's presence" line? They've not met yet, as far as I know.

[melomancer]

I would love one as long as you don't mind slows. Work is pilled up. = ]

[herr_bookman]

Oh, I absolutely mind, how dare you Slowtimes are fantastic for me, too; I'll be answering via phone for most of the day. :) Good luck with your work!

So just checking, your tag is a reaction or should Anton tag back to it?

[herr_bookman]

Ah, it was meant to be a 2-for-1. Would you like me to edit or move it?

[melomancer]

It's fine, I just wanted to make sure. I'll tag in once I finish a post I'm working on in my personal journal.
