Update on the cure

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Okay, after brainstorming it out yesterday it looks like the solution that will work is Al's alchemy + Halliwell spell + Ingredient from the UK gang + The blood of Chosen Ones = Healed vampire.

What we still need to determine:

1) What ingredient the UK gang is getting.
2) Who makes the Slayer = Chosen One connection and sets the blood drive in motion.

For #2 I think it'd be hilarious if it was Janet, just so she could have a headdesky moment of "Oh, great, now we actually need all those stupid Chosen Ones." but I don't know if she'd be up for that.

Discuss. =)

Just a random suggestion from my corner, what if we made what the UK gang had to get something more scientific in nature rather than magical in nature?

I only say this because everything else in the cure is sort of mystical in nature (I know that Alchemy is a science, but it's still pretty mystical) and it might be interesting to have a cure that combines science and magic.

Just a thought.

Janet would totally be up for that and regretting not letting everyone put Chosen One on their stupid library card apps so we could just find them easily. Or at least griping about it a lot. (Not that she'd want the policy to change, mind you, but she'd keep a list.) I expect that at least the rest of the library wenches will be mocking her over this.

Just very relieved that today is not when that will happen. :) Energy? What's that? Am I supposed to be awake today?

I'm not sure if y'all decided to go with having Anders be the one to suggest Alphonse as the alchemist, but if we are, I just need to know where to put him when to make the suggestion or offer to go find Al, and what setup I'll need to give him first. He knows the basic situation, but that's about it.

UK ingredient I'd suggest from that list: the Bezoar, and/or unicorn horn shavings. Probably available very expensively in Knockturn alley for the second, and also expensively and hard-to-find at Diagon Alley for the bezoar.

Giles is doing the Killer-of-the-Dead diagnosis? Cool.

I don't *think* we have any Chosen Ones on the trip with us, but let me check... wait. Sydney Bristow, if she *is* on the trip like she's supposed to be (though she has yet to check in) is over here in England, and Nadia Santos definitely is. Although their status as Chosen Ones has not been revealed in play, as far as I know, but Veronica might know something about Nadia. The players' calls, I think, on whether that gets revealed now.

List of possible Chosen Ones:
Anakin (MIA)
Isabel (incognita)
Harry Potter (still playing?)
Charmed Ones
Nadia
Sydney
Any Slayers available from other realities

Although I suppose you could get less picky, and start grabbing anyone who's unique and include them too. Daniel, for being a former Ascended, and Cordy, for being a Seer, might work for that too.

Cordy is phoning Bridge today to see if he can come be psychic with Angel, so maybe he can determine what ingredient the UK gang needs?

Okay, just a little clarification for me and just wanna make sure I've got everything right.

What I've got so far on my part is (and this is somewhat going on what V had come up with here (http://community.livejournal.com/fhplotterywheel/2528.html?thread=149472#t149472)) that: Phoebe and/or Paige find out stuff about a demon alchemist and realize, aw crap, we don't have one of those; thus Anders wanders by and mentions Al. Anders goes to fetch him, points him towards Veronica and/or whoever he needs to go to. Al goes to Angel, attempts transmutation, and while it doesn't fully work it does something to ease the toxin. And then the magical mystical stuff from the UK comes along, mix and stir, and voila, cure for Angel. Right? I'm just summarizing what I've skimmed over so far. I'm not sure if you guys have anything else planned for Al (but if not, that's okay by me :)).
