With the fighty reserve, the magical reserve and the support services group... I'd love to see the next BDE be something that none of them could possibly prepare for. Just to throw a wrench in the works and show that no matter how prepared we think we are, the island/universe/whatever will throw us something unexpected.
I was daydreaming at work because oh my God, there's only so many times you can listen to music written for kids and NOT go insane and thought it would be cool if the gremlins started having a civil war over something, and were biting people they wanted to fight *for* them. For example, if the entire (insert group here) is attempting to attack the other two groups because they all think they're various super-villains? Obviously going to screw up everyone's preconceived notions.
So with all the cops we have on the island plus a few that might be show up pending application approval, I'm thinking we need a good old fashioned mystery to solve on the island. Once upon a time I toyed with the idea of an open mystery where anyone on the island could participate and solve though the logistics of it would kill my brain.
Ooooh what if we go with some kind of ancient mystery of the island? Something that ties in with the mythology/history that's already been established.
Maybe some of the wolf-types could find bones in the preserve and that pulls in Brennan and the other cop types to try to solve the mystery of what happened.
This is where I'm going to note that heromaniac had a seriously kickass idea for a plot like this, bringing in an actual criminal for the police to hunt down, and I'm going to drag her kicking and screaming to the thread to share >.>
*is dragged* Well, it is pretty similar, actually! Inspired by the Dillinger movie being released soon, I thought maybe we needed a bank robber/ serial criminal in Fandom.
I don't know if it's possible, but it would be a short term guest character who would be basically a townie or a teacher and they'd rob places and people over a period of time while they interact with people as if they were a normal citizen. The cops would be trying to find him and some of the students, too, most likely. Then if he was arrested there'd be a trial, or he could get away or escape (which could happen in a small town with little real crime) or gets killed (which happens a lot to bad things in Fandom).
I have no idea if she remembers it, but notyourpawn and I spent some time a while back (as in like, a year, possibly two ago) discussing the possibility of a Carmen Sandiego-style adventure where a building/piece of island geography went missing and people had to solve puzzles to track it down. I still think this would be fun!

Though now I'm wondering if anyone else out there is like Claire and wouldn't be affected by gremlin venom.

Since my boys are complete gremlin bait, I looove this. They could even fight on opposite sides ;)

of course, sending Karla to 1690's Salem was my first thought, so perhaps I shouldn't be allowed to vote...
