VH wolf plot - part 3
This is the logistics stuff...
1) I'll be running a chat to keep up with everything / one. It'll be on AIM b/c MSN msgr makes my PC run super-duper slower than usual. I think I have everyone's AIM name, if not, Danii probably does and mine is: hghlnder2 so you can ping me to get in if I don't have you.
2) I'll probably set the chat up between 1830 and 1900 EST
3) How the plot will play out: VH!wolf will bound or slide through the doors; people will scream/faint/run away; stuff will happen - this'll be in the 1st post - ~15 min's to VH-midnight. Wolf stuff for a while (probably about 30-45 minutes - depending on posting speeds and LJ's cooperation); then there will be a short period where VH!wolf is VH-in-tattered-pants and hereveals the mysteries of the ages tells someone - probably Natalie - that Beowulf has the antidote tacked to his collar. Then, more Wolf stuff.
2nd post - the 'One Minute to Midnight' post -- a new thread will begin for each strike of the clock toward midnight. (VH-time midnight, not bar midnight- egads) Near the end of this thread - about the 9th or 10th strike - people will be trying to pin him down; then about the 11th strike, Natalie willdie of smush admin the antidote... yay!
Now - just a few bits and pieces for everyone to keep in mind as this plays along...
** Keep in mind that 95% of the people/beings/etc in the bar will NOT know that this giant wolf is Van Helsing
** who *will* know? - the Endless (duh), Nick Knight, Mina Harker, Rose, those who know him well enough to 'see' through the wolf to the man (note - there really aren't many ppl in the bar who know him this well - Nick, Mina and Rose are about it and Rose (if she's around) might have trouble since he won't be able to speak); Harry Dresden and Bob - but neither of them will be in-bar at the time - or any other wizards with Third Sight; possibly - other werewolves - Oz, Lupin, etc.
** most people will probably do the 'scream and run away' thing to avoid injury; anyone not directly involved in the plot - feel free to flail and pass out in a post outside the VH!wolf posts - esp if passing out / fainting from just *seeing* the wolf - so other ppl can help you w/o bogging down the plot thread with medical attn.
** However, once Beowulf starts barking his head off - anyone who knows that this particular Irish Wolfhound belongs to VH should be able to put two-and-two together and do the 'aha! it's VH!' thing... catching on and insisting that people NOT kill him.
** Also - anyone listed as a 'victim' - keep in mind that if you are an 'evil' character - VH in wolf form can still sense that - he might not care one way or the other, but it's possible that the evil characters might get more snapped at and maimed than the good ones.
Questions? Thoughts? Ideas?
And: here's the link to the finalized cast list - which has links to the other parts - just for reference.
I also wanna say - THANX!! to everyone who's helping out with this! VH thanx you too.
