For all your weekend hookup needs!

Everybody: I need a few possible volunteers!

I don't have the icons yet. I keep screencapping, then getting distracted by watching, but anyway.

Gabrielle's AU persona is a past-life hypnotherapist. Or posing as one, anyway -- she's a total quack who gets all her business from telling people who just really want the ego boost that they really were famous people in a past life. (She's also Gabrielle's modern-day reincarnation, but she doesn't know that. The reincarnation is not to be confused with the modern-day clone. Just go with it.) Anyway, I'll be setting her up in some public location in town on Sunday if anyone, AUed or not, wants to get suckered into a past-life hypnotherapy session.

Who she leads you to believe you are is going to be a load of BS, and it'll be your call as to who you want that to be.

. . . unless you really were that famous person in a past life. Then she'll just try to very tactfully tell you that you're delusional.

... what would she do with someone who said he was Mark Antony? (Not in a past life, but right at the moment?) *uses the only Rome icon I have uploaded*

Hee! Well, in Deja Vu All Over Again (http://whoosh.org/epguide/dejavu.html) (I meant to link that originally, and you went and stole my ability to edit!), everybody who's in the waiting room already believes they are those people (General Custer, Pocahontas, Joan of Arc off the top of my head) so she'd probably be treating him like one of her usual patients.

Oooooh. I think I have to do something with this, yes. Mark is bitchy in kind of an awesome way when he gets annoyed.

Oh man... is it wrong that I kinda want her to tell Joan she was Joan of Arc in a past life now? Joan will not be AU and it will freak her right out.

Ahaha, totally. Like, she can try to sucker her in for a consultation that way maybe.

And now I'm remembering the bit from that episode with Lucy as Annie who believes she's Xena looking at the woman in the waiting room who thinks she's Joan of Arc and going "Bet my sword's bigger'n yours."

(Oh man, the meta in that one. Because the show exists in its own continuity, Lucy Lawless's character is actually a hardcore obsessed Xena fan who has a full-size cardboard standup of Xena in her bedroom and believes she was Xena in a past life.

She wasn't.)

Because Gabrielle doesn't need to know that? ;)

Ow that made my head hurt.

Regardless, you can totally have Joan for this.

How my head hasn't exploded ten times over trying to keep track of the timelines and meta and seven different kinds of retconning is a miracle of no minor magnitude, trufax . . .

I have a new agey, anti-establishment nudist who would love to hear any sort of BS Gabrielle would toss his way.

I would have her tell him about his real future, but I refuse to spoil you. *G*

I have a 70s bohemian type who would so be into this. And Linda really hopes that at least one of them was a rockin' anti-establishment lesbian.

Oz, the Great and Terrible *tap tap* is this thing on? Oh! Ahem, was MERLIN in a past life!

Given we have Merlin in-game, that could be complicated/conflicty in a way I'd rather avoid, but I'd be game for the option of any other famous historical/quasi-historical wizards.
