IMDb flu, anybody?

[yakalskovich]

It's that time of year again, before flu season is over -- how about another wave of the IMDb flu?

For the newcomers since last year: IMDb flu happens when a common human flu strain mutates in Milliways, causing people to hallucinate that they are somebody else from their PB's or voice actor's IMDb roster.

I would offer Hannibal Lecter as patient zero this time to get things going, and suggest early to mid March as the starting point, which means the plot can run all through March.

Any suggestions? Questions? Considerations?

A THOUSAND TIMES YES.

I would personally appreciate it starting around the second week of March for personal plot reasons - and not to clash with Mardi Gras threads at the very end of February that might take a few days to wrap up - but of course, will go with what suits the majority. Hurrah, IMDb flu! Always fun. :D

You can have Jim infected in the second or third wave of the flu, if that fits better -- that's the beauty of it. Infection spreads slowly.

I was ogling Mardi Gras as a possible chance to get Hannibal infected with the flu, actually. So that will take a little time to break out, and then...

[chanter1944]

Sariel's in again this year, for sure.

[capture_eternity]

Welcome to the madness, then!

[likeroaringlions]

:D

[capture_eternity]

I'll take that for a vote of aye? :-)))

[fieryface]

I DID like the idea of Mary being patient zero, if one is required...

[cottoncandypink]

I have absolutely no idea how to go about this with any of my pups, but this does need to happen. If for no other reason than to give Wilford some ammo against Jim for a few days, I guess.

[just_cant_lose]

*cackle* Wilford will have fun mocking a sweet as hell gay Welsh activist, I'm sure. If that's the way I go.

[is_the_motion]

Guppy has long since run out PBs that I know how to play - I usually just give him flu and misery.

[bjornwilde]

Yes! And I need to look at Hale Appleman's stage career for inspiration.

[capture_eternity]

Who is that? And yes, of course stage parts count as well, I suppose. It even counts if somebody has played the charrie, even if the Milliways version doesn't make mention of the actor.

That applies especially to comics and Les Mis, I guess.

[harryhotspur]

Sounds good to meeee

[cook_the_rude]

Excellent! Whom are you considering?

[ceitfianna]

Oh yes and by March, my moving stuff will hopefully have slowed down enough to the point where I can play.

I'll have to think about who to do. Moist always has tons of options, the others are a mix.

[cook_the_rude]

Charles and Tumnus have a lot of options, too. I'm looking forward to see what you will come up with.

[mightbeagoodone]

Rory Slippery :D!!!

[cook_the_rude]

Sounds like great fun, and so not!Sherlock -- looking forwards to seeing him!

[imthepilot]

I'm in. I don't have much in the way of plans for any of mine to get sick but lots of ideas on how other people swapping might well mess with them.

[cook_the_rude]

There is this FBI psychologist from "The OA" who might be a bit of a foil for a recovered Hannibal, and also remind him of Will because of his abilities...

[sdelmonte]

Swamp Thing has recently been voiced by two SF icons.

[cook_the_rude]

Who -- and what else have they done?

[i_am_your_host]

I'm having surgery at the start of March and it'll take a couple of weeks to recover, so I'll probably be out of it A LOT, but since the plot is spread out over a month I think I could still do it. So I'm bringing Eli Gold back because I love my imaginary high-strung boyfriend.

[cook_the_rude]

Oh, yes, as long as somebody is still infected, he can get the flu!

[thewidewideworld]

Please? Please, please, please? I will slow-time with you into December if that's what it takes to irritate Eli again! I love him so.
