[game post] A Gothic Winter Tale

[vojvode]

Okay so here's what I have. Four categories of pups.

Please click through and comment with your AIM Screenname, your pup's name and journal name, as well as your availability and your preference for a plotlocked EP in the bar or an OOM, and if you'd like it to be hosted here or in your pup's LJ.

The Nommed: Your pup will meet V somewhere in the corridors of Milliways, perhaps in the library. They will be enthralled, fed upon, memory wiped. They will wake up some place safe with a wrist wound or the classic neck wound. As part of the plot, this encounter will end up with your pup EP'ing in the bar with a link to the OOM (hosted either here or in your pup's journal, your choice) and a chance for others in the bar to notice your pup's condition.

The Near-Nommed: Your pup will have a creepy encounter with a gentleman of Eastern European descent, perhaps in the halls, library or by the lake side. This could happen in a plot-locked EP or in OOM, again with a link posted in the bar.

The Non-Nommed: Immortals or other non-baseline humans that wanted to meet the Prince outside the bar.

The Investigators: Your pups will be interviewing the other pups regarding their interactions. How this plot unfolds depends on you. I don't want to rush it. Rather, I would like this to play out through the New Year, lending a little creepiness to the long cold winter nights.

I have no idea what the endgame looks like. I don't mind a pitchfork-and-torches welcoming crew, but please remember, my ultimate goal is to have him as regular in the bar, perhaps just better briefed on the rules.

I am open to any and all suggestions. This is my first plot, and I'd like it to be a good one.

[ceitfianna]

I think this works for Jane and currently she doesn't have a room at the Bar but she could easily get bit on her way to or from the library.

I'm quite happy to host an OOM in her journal of jane_becomes and I can be found at FionaLl8 on aim.

Also availability, I'm going to suddenly have even more free time after the 14th since that's my last full day of class and I'm EST and a night owl.

Re: THE NOMMED

[coreenfennel.livejournal.com]

This girl can get chewed on.

I'm easily reachable most of the time at kristicagle on AIM.

OOM or EP is fine, I'm rather easy about that, and...well, I'm on a lot, but I have finals the 14th and the 15th, going home probably the 16th. I'll be home for a good month, so, that time will would out the best for me. Feel free to send me an IM.

AIM: eccofiore
I'm available most days and nights, though I'll be traveling for the holidays. Given that, OOM is probably best.

(Sorry, Earl!)

Re: THE NOMMED

[not_lugosi]

Om nom nom! Bela is in for a nice little blood donation (and her name is pronounced "Bella" - the Supernatural writers had themselves a joke there. *wry*)

AIM: vivien529
My availability is in the evenings, from 7-10 Mountain Time on weekdays, and from 5-??? on weekends. While I am not always on AIM, I am most usually available on email at vivien529@gmail.com so just holler at me there.
Bela Talbot is not_lugosi.
I think an OOM in my journal would be a-okay.

FUN!

Re: THE NOMMED

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

I am fine with hosting the OOM at val_von_doom or which ever.

My AIM is delmcatee but I think our best bet might be email which is twiny_claws(at)flyallnight(dot)com as I'm never on chat much.

I think Val getting a wrist wound would work best for the accidental, "how did that happen?" angle. I think I would be open for a couple of noms but I don't want Val to get turned.

I'm mostly available m-f 7am to 4pm PST.

[aimedforthemoon]

Yesfir Shostakovna (aimedforthemoon)
OOM - either journal
Avaliablity - uh. Australian EST, no idea what that is in GMT (+9?) and dependent on internet working at home. Best to catch me on the weekends (your Friday and Saturday)
AIM - lamorgne
email - ashysaki @ gmail

Re: THE NOMMED

[austen.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm mean, but signing Joan up for this, since she's living in the bar now. (Oh, and wrist-wound preferable.)

Joan Holloway
notaphony
Availability is the same as Chuck's below, but afternoons/evenings EST.
OOM/EP friendly, and you know how to reach me on IM. ♥

Kate Bishop nothawkingbird
EST, mainly evenings, and weekends.
oom's fine, let me know when I should set one up.

[puckishly.livejournal.com]

Oh darling, I'm yours.

Re: THE NOMMED

[morethanwatcher.livejournal.com]

As previously discussed and glee'd over extensively,

Character: morethanwatcher - Rupert Giles
AIM: FractalDawn

Availability: Extremely negotiable.

Re: THE NOMMED

[nita_callahan]

Nita Callahan, if you're not overwhelmed with nom-ees. :)

AIM: UndeadWriter1488
E-mail: arial.sprite@gmail.com
G-talk: Same
Availability: I'll be on EST until Dec. 16th -- after that, I'll be on Alaska time. (EST -4 or GMT -11) That usually means I'm on in the middle of the day or the middle of the night for EST players -- but I'll be on my break, so barring family holiday stuff, my times can be pretty negotiable.

OOM would probably work best? I rather like the idea of the library.

Re: THE NOMMED

[almosthonorable]

I so offer up Ben (almosthonorable)to be nommed on! In conjunction with Fira, if you and Ashie are up for that? He goes looking for her and gets all bitten? Good idea/bad idea?

And, I am totes up for OOMing or EPing, over here in EST.

Re: THE NOMMED

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I need to read things before writing long posts. 'Cause I was almost done! Oh well.

Option 1) Scaramouche (notagagaggirl) who can scream like any damsel-in-distress you can mention, and has no sense of self-preservation to speak of.

Option 2) Laranth. Up for further debate of Padawan vs. Vampire, and if there shall be enthrallment vs. biting vs. ... whatevs. I just wish her master wasn't an OC of mine. 'cause the resulting thread would be EPIC.

Re: THE NOMMED

[oneman_onevote]

...Okay, assuming you still have the time? Havelock's meta-resemblance to movie!Johnathan Harker and the ongoing injoke of having him act as damsel in distress is too much for me.

This is Havelock! He's mortal, studious and hangs out in the library a lot, being scholarly and carrying a lot of concealed weaponry. Have at!

I am on GMT, but tomorrow is my last day of work for about ten days. OOMs are always a joy.

EDIT: And if I paid attention - my AIM is alternaberries, my email is rowanberries at gmail.

Re: THE NOMMED

[yakalskovich]

How far into January? Being nommed on by a vampire would be the perfect 'Hello Milliways' experience for Urquhart to realise that, while he may have been the pike in the carp pond in his own world, there are definitely bigger, badder things in Milliways...

Also, by the middle of January when his app comes through, most people in the bar will be aware and wary; a big strong newbie might be a welcome snack for V. I wouldn't normally try and sign up a charrie-to-be, but he's been so very much out and about in Mixed Muses, I guess you can gauge whether he'd be nommable or not.-

THE NEAR-NOMMED

[vojvode]

Sign up here to almost get bit.

Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED

[vance_prime]

This will be the best bet for Ms. Vance, I think. I'm around pretty much every evening, as mentioned below, and Alyx will be returning to Milliways... soon? Ish? ^^;

Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED

[honourbyname]

Going to sign Albus up for this one as well.

Albus Potter (honorbyname)
AIM: teh frodo
Availability: EST, evenings - usually after 6PM, brains pending.

Am fine with posting however which way.

Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED

[skygiants]

I'm too lazy to log in and out again but the character is Duck (reallyaduck and I'm on AIM as bookelfe!

I'm generally available after 10:30 EST in the evenings, and I am up for either an OOM or a locked EP, whatever is easiest.

Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED

[ostro_goth]

For not-quite-biting and cultural bewilderment about new and old school vampires:

Teja, ostro_goth
AIM: sootymun
Availability: evening GMT (= afternoon EST)

Preference: OOM at night near the lake and the forge

Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED

[lethe-forgot.livejournal.com]

I'm using this username because for some reason Melpomene's (tragic-mask) doesn't get email notifications.

AIM: phxtearshealme
Pup: Melpomene, tragic-mask
Availability: In the evenings [PST] after the 19th, not on Christmas Eve or Christmas, and ending on the 6th.
Preference: Plot-locked EP; meet either by the lake or in the library (if I can figure out what that looks like-- she's never actually been there).

THE NON-NOMMED

[vojvode]

Sign up here to have a non-bitey experience.

Re: THE NON-NOMMED

[bethan-b-bad.livejournal.com]

I'm going here for Sam. The devil meets Dracula: fun for all the family! Er, so long as they're immortal. As a warning, Sam may choose to be unpredictable (or, er, very predictable) with the violence, depending on who gets nommed-upon: in his world, vampirim is how you steal someone's soul.

So: Sam Linnfer (necessary_child
AIM: herworldsonfire
Available most evenings, working on GMT or GLT+1 depending on whether or not I'm in France or home.
Don't mind whether it's an OOM or an EP.

THE INVESTIGATORS

[vojvode]

Sign up here and feel free to thread hop so you can coordinate your lines of investigation. If someone would like to be lead investigator, that would be awesome too.

Re: THE INVESTIGATORS

[doyousmellfudge_archive]

Artie being Artie, he will mostly be investigating on his own, but will collaborate with others if the situation seems dire enough or if his arm is sufficiently twisted.
