slouching back to Milliways

[the_croupier]

So RL has been seriously RL for, like, ever, but that's s-l-o-w-l-y starting to change. Enough that I think I can post this and say, if anybody is looking for one of my pups, in the next week or two, threads are going to start being possible again (and, man, you have NO IDEA how much I've been missing you guys!).

Since it's been ages (and I wouldn't blame anyone for going, "Who the hell is he again?"), by "my pups," I'm talking:

Dr. Malcolm Crowe; Agents K and Zed; Angel and Wesley Wyndham-Pryce; Hal Jordan; Rick Deckard; and Lin Beifong.

Got a plotbunny that could use one or more? Talk to me of plotbunnies! And if not, no worries, I'll just start throwing them back in the bar, and I'm sure Milliways insanity will take care of the rest.

Hello, I've missed you. Do you have any plans to see Pacific Rim in the near future and would you like?

Also yes, many threads, please.

[the_croupier]

Gee, I dunno, giant robots fighting monsters? Am I interested in that?

Umm, YES. That would be, YES. So there's that.


And, yeah, there's no end of threads we'll be doing, I hope. =)

[ceitfianna]

Are you free this weekend? You see I have time now and kind of need to not be too much in my own head.

Threadwise, Sameth needs to play in the MiB lab and Charles and well any of yours are always fun. So many options.

[the_croupier]

This weekend's shot, unfortunately, but let's compare schedules and see what might work. Do you have an idea how long you'll be here? (I actually thought you'd moved back East already, so great to know you're around.)

Sameth is definitely on a short list of Mways pups Zed wants to unleash in the MiB labs (he can always rebuild them--that's what the (enormous) black budget for disaster recovery is for).

(And Charles too, of course!)

[ceitfianna]

I went to ALA at the end of last month and I know I'll do that at some point but its not planned yet. For now I'm just taking it as it goes and applying and doing what I can. I mean today is only a month after the last day of school, its really weird.

I need to talk to my family to figure out what might happen in terms of the rest of the summer but basically for the near future, I'll be around.

[unglitched]

Do we still wanna do the ostrich-racing thing with Vanellope and Malcolm?

[the_croupier]

Yes, please! I'm very glad that's still an option!

[ladysingsthe]

Ava-Angel is always my jam! And I am ... slowly being more Milliways-y myself.

[the_croupier]

Mine too! I bet Ava has lots of GREAT IDEAS for Angel to get involved with. :D

[ladysingsthe]

Ava always has great ideas!!

Why do people seem so reluctant to listen to her!!!

[abitofawildman]

QUICK! Before we're Joss'd seven ways from Sunday!

[the_croupier]

TOO. TRUE.

Man, I hadn't even thought about that. Time to thread early and often!

[timelessinventor]

I don't know if you know Warehouse 13 at all, but somehow my brain is giggling at one or both of the MiB meeting either Helena or Joshua. :D?

[the_croupier]

Never watched it much, but I know the premise! That's enough for hilarity to ensue.

[ceitfianna]

You need to watch Warehouse 13, you'll like it. Its Quinn and Jill's fault that I watched it and now I spread the conversion.

[immortalthief]

I want to read that thread!

:)

[weaver]

I got no promises - whose idea was RL, anyway? - but I'll keep an eye on the bar. Because, your face. :D

[the_croupier]

RL has a lotta nerve sometimes.

My face? Your face. Thread with meeeee. :D

[innerbrat]

OH MY GOD RICK LOOK WHAT YOU WOKE UP.

[the_croupier]

OMG, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

[innerbrat]

Malcolm and Teresa again?
Hard Travellin' Heroes, maybe? Maybe not, maybe just throwing Dinah and Hal at each other is fine.
Any LOK canon stuff you wanna jump in on?

ALL THE THINGS?

[the_croupier]

ALL OF THE THINGS, ALL OF THEM.

Starting a re-watch of LOK 'cause I need a refresher. But I should be ready to jump in wherever in about a week.

Pondering HTH. That might be an inspired idea, D. I'm so alienated from New 52 now, that going back to HTH seems exactly right. Plus, it's been so long since I read them all the way through, I'm curious how well they hold up.

As for your other idea, I picked up more Claymore a couple of weeks ago. Need I say more? :D

[cantdiequiteyet]

I'M VERY EXCITED BY THIS.

Dinah's now living in Star City, dating Ollie. I might have her meet Babs soon, but if you want to talk HTH let me know! LoK will be there when you're ready, too.

[the_croupier]

Re-watching LoK now, and pondering plots!

Dinah didn't meet Babs until the start of BoP, right? (Not sure about that,really. Just half-recalling the first issues of BoP.) So we would be filling out Dinah's past timeline if we did this?

[innerbrat]

Dinah actually makes a guest appearance in Batgirl: Year One!

[bjornwilde]

I can't make any sort of timeline promises but I'd love to have Jessica, as an agent of SWORD, mix it up with the MiBs again, whether just threading or visiting their world for a case.

[the_croupier]

Team up!

We just need appropriate aliens desperately in need of being punched inna face.

Plus an interlude at some point where they get distracted by an "I can beat that!" contest between SWORD and MIB tech.

[justdyedit]

Awesome sauce. We will need to figure out a species resistant to her energy blasts for her to have a reason to have tech. = ]

[the_croupier]

Or an alien alliance! One zappable, one not?

[genarti]

omg Lin! If I knew you were Lin, I'd forgotten.

Also HI WELCOME BACK TO FREE TIME FOR RP. :D (I'm about to vanish for the long weekend, so I will muse on plotbunnies for later, but HI.)

[the_croupier]

Thank you! It's way good to be coming back.

To be fair, I don't think I ever properly introduced her into the bar. But I can fix that!

[the_lioness]

Rick, Rick, Rick! Hiiiiii.

Any of yours, any of mine, etc. I know we talked about threads, but I have forgotten. Heh. THINGS. <3

[the_croupier]

Whee!! I don't think we ever actually started some of the most alarming best ideas, did we?

I'm sure Zed would be TERRIBLY PLEASED to find himself back in Tortall. Almost as much as Alanna probably would be to find him there. =D

Also Angel is in desperate need of people snarking at him.

[varadia]

There have to be threads. NEW RULE.

(In terms of plotbunnies, Duo talked to X about talking to Malcolm about all the crappy things that have happened re: trigger scent etc. X might take him up on it, if Malcolm is around and you are up for it. Thing.)

Also MiB. And I need to throw someone at Lin!

[the_croupier]

Yes to all that!

I'd like to have lots for Malcolm to do, so we can do that for sure.

Rewatching LOK to get the plots and Lin!voice going, but should be ready with that by late next week.

Who would you be interested in throwing at the MiBs?

[creator_raven]

X, Diana, possibly Nynaeve or Dean, depending on hilarity potential. For MiB, I mean. In various combinations.

Yay Malcolm! I have been pretty horrible to X lately, so.

[the_croupier]

A whole galaxy of hilarity! I can see Dean, especially, getting along with the MiBs so well. XD

[boyscout]

If any of yours want to meet Jane Foster or Clark, I'm up for it.

And RL is a bully like that.

[the_croupier]

HAL IS EVERY HERO'S FAVORITE PERSON. Just ask him.

Also Jane and/or Clark meeting the MiBs. *That* ought to go well. =)

[boyscout]

Hal also fancies himself a ladies man, so there you go.

I like the way you think. Jane would have to be dragged out of the labs.

[the_croupier]

Fortunately for Jane, she's probably too sane and ethical for Zed to actually want to recruit her for the MiB labs. >.>

(Zed usually finds both those qualities annoyingly inconvenient.)

Also we should figure out how much the MiBs should know about your pups' versions of the DCU and Earth-616. (They know a fair amount about other pups' worlds.)

[boyscout]

Sanity is negotiable. Definitely too ethical, though. Yeah.

Poor Zed.

I'm good with them being aware of at least Jane's version of Marvel, since Nick meant the Avengers to be a warning to other worlds. And that would most likely include different dimensions.

For Clark, I'm okay with them knowing the bare-bones basics, as long as they don't tell him about being Superman until he's close to wearing the suit. Eventually he'll be accustomed enough to Milliways to deal with that stuff, but not initially.

[immortalthief]

Welcome back, and what is a plot bunny?

[the_croupier]

I usually think of it as having more plots than one knows what to do with, all of them insistent on getting started NOW. It's been a long while since I've been able to indulge RP like that, waaay too long.

(Also, thanks!)

[immortalthief]

Ahh, now I get it. Yes I have never had a plot bunny,

And I can totally relate the last couple of weeks is the first time in years I've been able to thread regularly. I have missed it.

Would love to plot with one of yours, but don't know what they would be interested in. I have Amanda (who next time in bard will be 1068 years old (in year 1888- though she looks like she is 30) and now Yoko Nakajima who is a now immortal 16 year old from Japan ruling a kingdom called Kei which isn't on Earth. If any of your characters would like to plot with either (or both) of them that would be fun.

[guppy_sandhu]

OH HI YOU I was just about to email you to see how things were going.

I just moved house so I'm netless at home for three more days, so will be slow, but can we please finish our oom?

[the_croupier]

HIYA!

Sorry I was out of sight for so long. I would very much like to finish our OOM! Hoping to be able to start threading again toward the end of this week.
