GLITCH TIME

Okay! So! Here's the earth- /SHOT

Now that i am done being a massive nerd... >>;

while i was busy being a really bad student in school today, I wrote down a basic idea of what I think Willow's glitch ought to be like. Now, mods please tell me if this is over the top or whatever and I'll be up for changing it. I am flexible. Anyone else who's interested in being involved, especially non-canonmates, PLEASE SPEAK UP. I would love, love, love to have a lot of people involved :D

I'm thinking of doing this... in the next week or so, sometime before the zombie glitch and have it span about two or three days ICly. Because let's face it: no one wants this bad girl out there for longer than that XD TRUST ME. But, if that's too soon for you guys, it could also happen after the zombie glitch. Willow could just have YET ONE MORE REASON to be really angry with the aliens XD As if her current list isn't enough.

For right now and the next couple of weeks, Willow's going to be really, REALLY avoidant, yes, even to you, Tara. She's pretty much spending a lot of time outside and she doesn't want to come home until late and hardly turns up to work. Well, she does come to work, but she'll look a bit spacey. She's still angry, but she's keeping it inside for right now. Since, y'know, no one understands /woe. The point of this is so that when she finally gets glitched, she'll be really far away from everyone, probably deep in the forest, so that it'll be harder to figure out where she is. To make things more difficult, I was thinking maybe her witchy aura could ionize the atmosphere, so the tablets can't pick up where she's specifically located, just a general area. This way, our resident fingerprint master could go around figuring out where she's been and maybe a track on where she's going (if he's so inclined).

I don't think it'd be possible for her to be actually imprisoned and held that way (in canon, she took an axe to the back and didn't even blink, plus broke through prison walls like they were nothing), so I can see this ending one of two ways: Either she's killed (and I'm fine with this happening, complete with Sunnydale Library going bye-bye), or she's taken down the Xander way (which would probably have to be someone really close to her like Tara, Buffy, or Dawn).

For her motive during all this, I'm thinking she would probably be after everyone who doubted her magic or told her she couldn't do spells or that it was dangerous. So people she's had arguments about it with, like Faith and Long. Whether or not she actually finds them is entirely up to you guys. I'm also fine with villains getting involved, too, either to try fighting her or to coerce her into going after the hero-types as an ally-ish thing. Any hero-types are welcome to try to stop her / fight her. She won't hurt anyone she's not actively seeking, but she will defend herself.

SO... that leaves the how do we do this? I was thinking a general action post and then sub-threads for... say, people searching for her (hero-types), separate encounters with hero-types, encounters with villain-types, etc, and her final take-down thread.

...wow that got long. So talk to me, Taxon, mods. How does this sound? Am I completely off my rocker |Da? OPINIONS: I AM ASKING FOR THEM. I will respond in the morning \o It is bedtime, but I just wanted to get that out there ♥!

it sounds insaaaaaane but in the good way.

i am up for getting involved however and in whatever way you're interested in having buffy stuck into this. epic fight? maybe a co-scooby talk down?

Buffy here has the deliciously unique position of...being here so briefly that she doesn't really realize that drama over Willow's magic has been going on. Ergo they haven't bumped opinions over it yet. THIS SURELY MUST FACTOR IN SOMEHOW?

Ahahah, and Long juuust posted arriving at Castle Summers to deliver something to Willow, too. ;)

(But that was probably before she glitched? Y/N?)

I'm fine with Long being chased down by Willow etc, however...! Long is also going to have an upcoming glitch, in which (we can talk it on out) Willow may not even recognize him as Long, and if she does, well, she may or may not have second thoughts about wanting a confrontation? I suppose in her evil state she may be like 'DAMN THE TORPEDOES, full speed ahead' which will be...... ....so very interesting. Yes. Ahem.


As for PAUL AND PRINTS-- I'm totally willing to bring Paul into things, dependent on whether or not his print-fu is actually needed. Do you want to assume Paul got Willow's prints at Glitch's dinner, then? Failing that he is going to drop by Tara's shop anyway, so we could work with that.

and since i fail at clarity, long's glitch is starting thursday. so. not like 'indefinite future' upcoming glitch.

Amazing.

I up for Tara Xanderizing-her, if you want; she's at the dead center of the intersection between "people who told her to do less magic" and "people she'd never want to hurt," so you're welcome to play with that, if you want.

When she realizes the tablets won't work, Tara would want to do a location spell. I was thinking, so as not to steal Paul's thunder, Willow could be so powerful at this point it creates a bit of magical backlash and the spell fritzes, or it even causes Tara mild pain/temporary magic loss? I am up for discussing this.

ALTERNATELY if you decided to do it post zombies, I'm all for using Tara as a trigger - Willow mistakenly thinks she's hurt or dead, or something along those lines.

ALTERNATELY to the alternate, if it would be helpful to you, I am also fine with Willow finding out about Tara's upcoming death. The Buffycast clearly knows, as does DG, so we could discuss that. If she doesn't find out prior, it could come out in a Xander-speech, depending on how THAT goes.

This is exciting, and I'm flexible as ever, so let me know what you'd like!

Thumbs up! I mean, not for Willow and Tara, they're going to be traumatized, but.

Basically, I want to make sure you get awesome CR with other people when/where you want it, but given Tara and Willow's relationship, I am good pulling the Xander too!(If Will ends up dead, even if it's temporary, Tara will sob. BE AWARE.)

... ok, this is going to be epic.

DG will want to do try and help, of course, so she could be added to the 'hero type' list.

Drusilla, on the other hand, should probably have her own list. Because she isn't as stupid as she acts, she'll probably keep out of the way of dark!Willow unless dark!Willow tries to hurt her ersatz family. But she might be a bit of a troll during the lead up?

Because that is how the roll? That sounds like the best kind of plan. (One that is both terrible and wonderful at the same time.)

Something like that XD (It will be the best terriful thing ever XD)

I LOVE THIS. Angel will more than likely be on team 'take her out', per his 'someone has to make the choices no-one else will' stance on things. I don't imagine this will groove well with the rest of the cast.

I DON'T HAVE CLEVER KEYWORDS TO MATCH, SOB.

[personal profile] tamitha 2011-02-03 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
I AM VERY MUCH UP FOR HIM FIGHTING HER. And he will do so until he can't move or is rendered unconscious 'cause he is stubborn and doesn't give a flip about the safety of his own person anymore.
