Curing the Vamp

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

I figured it'd be a good idea to pull together all the possible cure suggestions so we can brainstorm them into a coherent whole.



Here's what we've got so far:

1) Part of the cure will involve something the UK gang has to get from Knockturn and/or Diagon Alley (so Angel is not going to be completely better until the UK gang gets home later this week)

2) Bel will suggest the demon alchemist route but for whatever reason won't be able to get his hands on a demon alchemist. Al will somehow step in to do what he can.

3) Lana has access to a healing serum that Lex Luthor made out of Clark Kent's blood

4) Steal underpants

5) ???

6) Profit!

My brainstormy thoughts:

Both teams are going to find out that Slayer's blood cures Angel but that they have no access to such blood. So at that point I think the Fandom and UK teams would need to start brainstorming how they can MacGyver up something that they'll hope will be close enough for government work. Mix in #1-3 and maybe toss in a Halliwell spell over it to cover the bases maybe? Also, how will the teams know to bring all their pieces together?

I dunno.

Thoughts?

Can we try to sex you back to health?

Is there a particular element to a Slayer's blood? Get a minute sample of it and maybe Janet could isolate that particular element and synthesize it?

(Lalalala, ordinary high schooler here, lalalala. Pfft, right.)

Anyway, it wouldn't work ordinarily, I'd think, but if you toss in a Halliwell spell to cover the bases/add magic, it might give it the right about of supernatural oomph.

Hmm? I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.

I was pondering the concept of things like Slayer's blood. Like maybe a vampire hunter is a close idea, or maybe it's "Chosen One" (which Clark would qualify as, but I don't know if Chloe or Lana know that yet).

So if we're starting with a base of something like Slayer's blood, it then becomes a matter of adding things to it to get it even closer to what's needed.

*volunteers for the healing sex*

Dammit, too bad Anakin's not around, since he's a chosen one.

WAIT.

One could argue that The Charmed Ones are chosen ones...

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Oo! Good point!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Yay caffeine :)

And what about our superheroes? Peter, The Tick, Artie?

Perhaps a combination of blood donations from all those people?

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Entirely possible. Plus allows for various RP opportunities!

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

And maybe Tick & Artie can finally meet :)

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

I thought that from the beginning, but I wasn't sure, it could be a last attempt type thing, plus the part whitelighter thing might help even more there right?

So we get blood from any one that's remotely 'chosen'?

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana's a Chosen One too, if you go with the whole possession/stones theme they dealt with in season 4. ;)

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Oh there ya go! Why don't we go with that then instead of the serum? That way we're getting more interaction out of it than you basically playing by yourself as you write home to Lex.

Also, made a looong list in the last UK thread of all the possible Harry Potter stuff-- one of the things was a blood-strengthening potion; maybe technology can do stuff too?

Also, I don't know if Nat's mentioned this, but FK canon has vamps being effected by curare and strychnine to help stop and start the heart. She may want to have to do some nasty things to Angel to keep him hanging in there.

[soldtoarmenians]

Don't FK vamps actually have a heartbeat, though? Albeit a slow one. BtVS vamps don't; it's always stopped , except for the occasional momentary thump if they get a heavy shot of electricity.

[janet_fraiser]

Once every ten minutes or so, right?

[janet_fraiser]

*giggling helplessly*

You're not wrong. And yet. *giggling*

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* Carry on....

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

That's an idea. It's later in canon than I'm playing her, but we can *handwavey* that she's overheard Lex and others saying she's a Chosen One, but didn't really know what they meant. And when the others start talking about needing "Chosen Ones" she can volunteer the information she's overheard.

(I haven't actually *seen* much of season 4 yet, so I didn't even think of it till you started talking Chosen Ones. ;) *rolls eyes*)

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Why do I suddenly think a 'Chosen Ones' club is needed next semester?

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

We should all go into the library and put it on our library applications - just to make Janet crazy.

[demonbelthazor]

Bad-assed chicks from other worlds who might qualify to be slayers if they were from this one? Like, say, Callisto and Aeryn.

[soldtoarmenians]

Oooh, yeah - has Cal ever killed a... whatchamacallit Xena version of vamps? It's arguable that she could even have *been* a potential Slayer.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Excuse me while I gigglesnort my coffee remembering the "opening of Buffus the Bacchae Slayer across the street" line from a fourth-season X:WP ep.

Canonically, no she hasn't. But that doesn't rule out that she could have.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Well,since canonically she does end up killing a god it's as a valid an argument as any. Yes, I know that was after she ended up a goddess herself, shut up.

And if we get really desperate, Xena-verse Zeus and Ares are such man-whores it's not totally out of the realm of possibility that one of the two is in her family tree a half-dozen generations back, leaving her without nifty powers but still having funky blood.

[janet_fraiser]

And here I'd heard you knew a lot about that...

Oooh, that would be cool. Do you know how much fun I could have with something like this? And I love the ideas everyone came up with while I went out to lunch with RL friends.

And also the potential of flipping out Natalie Lambert without realizing it wouldn't be fun either. Really.

Maybe the blood of a superstrong mutant girl thrown in for flavor?
