Calling all Angel Victims

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

You may be experiencing a strange sense of déjà vu. Don't worry, it's not a glitch in the matrix.

The following people are our victims, who will be split into five groups of six:

Adah
Aly
Andrew
Andros
Barbossa
Barney
Bridge
Cimorene
Dale
Deadpool
DOOM
Ino
Jeff
Jenny Sparks
John W
Lana
Mel
Mohinder
Richie Tozier
Robin NTF
Romeo
Roy Mustang
Sam W
Savannah
Seely
Sora
Troy
Willow
Wyatt
Xander


Now, what we need from each of our victims is:

1) Pick one other person on the victim list that you want to be in a group with. (Make sure they're okay with it, first, though!) That way we can simply throw together three sets of pairs.

This does not mean you will disappear at the same time as the other half of your pair, just that you'll end up in the same victim group.

If you don't care, just let us know and we'll toss you in a group.

2) Nominate your two preferred days to become a victim to the angels - IF IT MATTERS (Monday to Saturday, only. No vanishing on Sunday.). Also, if there is a day that you absolutely cannot be available to be angelled, definitely let us know.

If you don't care, and you'll be available whenever, then let us know that, too.

You MUST ping with this info by Friday midnight EST, so we can get you a full schedule of character disappearances as soon as possible. If we don't hear from you, we'll just randomly assign you to a group and a day.

Old, old, old

Now, on to the next bit. As you would have read in the last info post, we need some characters who will be alive (but OLD) in 2008 when the away teams come looking, and some who will have spent their life finding out what the angels were. If you want your character to be one of those, please indicate so below. Numbers will be limited on this.

Live through the ages

This one is not necessary for the plot, but it would provide a very unique opportunity. We may still choose not to go with it, depending on how things pan out.

Do you have a character with an overdeveloped sense of responsibility who would refuse to go into stasis? Who would choose to stay out and age naturally, dying before 2008, to watch over their fellows?

If so, you can volunteer them below. This would be the end of your character, they would die, but they would get to live a full, if handwavy, life. Think about it, and if you want to, then sign them up, and we'll let you know.

Limitations on the handwavy history/future you develop for your character

I'll just clarify what this is. This is the life your character lived in Timeline A, before they got the message about going into stasis, which caused the timeline to diverge into Timeline B. This is in no way necessary or required, nor will it have any sort of lasting impact on anyone or anything. It will only be used in hints given to the away teams when they go looking for information in 2008, who will forget it once the timelines diverge. flowering_mind has a lovely, twisty brain and a way with words, and has explained it very well over here.

If you do develop one, all we ask is some basic common sense, and an awareness of not discombobulating time too much! This could be a really fun exercise, which will have little to no impact on the character or the game, so it will be tempting to construct something outrageous.

Or that could just be me. (Send Karal back to make Sunlordism the new State religion? Nooo, bad me!) Just remember they shouldn't take the place of/kill anyone famous, disrupt the course of history in a major way, or be too anachronistic.

Next post? Yet MORE information. And just a reminder, the dates for this are Monday, 10 March to Sunday, 16 March.

ETA: Anyone who needs to pre-play their abduction, can you let us know in the magically created thread that is actually UNDER the OOC? Thank you!

[please wait for OCD, thanks We have reached OCD. Go thou forth and ping.]
