Brainstorming Post!

Apologies, apologies, apologies! We've totally flaked on this for the past couple of months. I won't speak for [livejournal.com profile] willbedone as far as inviting punishment, but you can make indignant noises in my direction for it if you like. *shameface*

Anyway, this is the monthly brainstorming post, and I hope this means you guys have a ton of stuff to throw into the mix today, so have at it, in the appropriate OCD thread! And they are up, so go go go!

My three offerings for plot parts are as follows:

If you need someone finding out a secret from a characters/items/whatever's past, I offer Liir to accidentally discover it. I also don't mind having him get in trouble for that; all what you'd need him to do. He's also good for catering as well as aerial surveillance. Ooh! Or Random Magical Accidents. He's good at those too.

If you need someone frozen in time or space, or some forensic work done, Abigail Irene is there to help you out. Need to keep someone who's sick or injured from getting worse, she's your woman. I could also say 'solving murders' but I seriously doubt that'll happen around here too much.

Need a connection severed, something cut, or care to have your character make a deal with the Devil and Fiona is your girl. She herself can see the threads that bind things together (anything from an emotional tie to an addiction) and is able to cut them easily enough; it'll take some convincing, though, since her own experience was unpleasant. Yours wouldn't be--totally different circumstances. She can cut anything. Also, her father is Lucifer so if you wanted to do a plot and have him show up for some reason, she could give him a call. No really.

I kind of want Brennan and Abigail Irene to team up to solve one of those murders that would never happen here.

Maybe a body could wash up on the beach?

Something like that, sure. I do think Brennan would be happier with a skeleton or two to poke at. (She'd make Abigail Irene deal with the flesh-covered parts. My character's very specialized field, let me show you it.)

If they would need any legal maneuvering, it would make Alex's week.

ALSO!

Fiona's good for translation work as well as ridiculously obscure knowledge that is entirely fact-based: ie, if you need to know about a rare blood disease or a creature that's been extinct for 3000 years and only lived in the Milwaukee region, *points at her*

Just no fiction, lit references, myth, religion, etc.
