Sofie here with two announcements!

[ownlittleprison]

First off, I'll be going on a brief but bodacious field trip with the old Mothership tomorrow morning (going to IKEA which is a damn heck of a distance away), and won't be home until tomorrow evening at the earliest. So this is me calling a tiny slowaitus.

Second and most important of all: Guess who has a new pup? I DO! :D


Okay, so, this is Mick St. John of Moonlight, which is yet another somewhat low key but delightful series that sadly was cancelled due to the writer's strike a few years ago.

However! You can find Mick's app oh gawd I'm horrible with html, here, and I'll be filling out his permissions meme shortly.

I do have some ideas for a teeny plot line to introduce him into the city proper and such. As I have stated very clearly in the application, Moonlight vamps can't survive on anything but human blood, emphasis on human - hence, hatched blood/Extra blood won't quite do the trick. It will stave off hunger, which is a Good Thing, but won't actually lend much in way of nutrition and healing capabilities and so on and so forth. In Moonlight, the need for blood is sometimes likened to a drug addiction - and I'll take that point of reference and run with it. In addition to that, the Taxon sun will be just as harmful as the sun of his own world.

One important note: Mick does only very rarely feed off living humans. 95% of his blood, he gets from a friend at the Los Angeles morgue.

So, while Mick will at first seem like a perfectly regular human being (if a touch sun sensitive), the lack of blood will take its toll. In a matter of weeks, he will get to a point where the hunger gets to be too much - the hatched blood isn't working, and Extra blood is just as worthless. He'll realize he's heading for disaster, hole himself up somewhere and issue a city wide red alert.

Yes. I am planning to put him in a rather sticky situation. >:3



Thoughts? Suggestions? Gifs?

I know you say he can't have anything but human blood but would he be willing to try things? Helen's made a 'medicine' for her vampire buddy which curbs the cravings/need for him. Even if it wouldn't work for Mick would he try?

(HELEN'S KEEPING HER EYE ON YOU VAMPIRES!)

Also. Enjoy the trip and hello :D

[ownlittleprison]

He'll try anything when he gets desperate enough, but part of the charm of vampires in today's pop culture (for me) is that they have to make difficult moral decisions. So, it probably won't help in terms of survival, but it could be a good short term solution to keep him from going off on a killing spree.

Seriously, I just want to get as much character relationships started as I can before I get into that plot. So I'll be posting his intro post tonight (and get back to you on yours shortly) and work a bit on that. Please do tag that as well. :)

And thank you! <3

[longaevus]

Sweet! Good job the Sanctuary still has all her data so she can make it quicker than if it didn't. (Heck she probably still has some leftover from when Nikola was there)

I will do! :D All the CR ever. I want it all.

<33

[ownlittleprison]

Any and all help will be more than welcome. I just need to get him to a point where he has to tell his big dark secret - and he wouldn't do that unless other people's lives depended on it.

All the CR ever. I think that'll be my new motto.

[longaevus]

I think over half the population has big dark secrets. :D
But. Yeah. She'll be ready when it happens.

\o/

[ownlittleprison]

Yes, well, I want to get it out in the open asap, for fun and horror both!

[aintnoconvict]

OH LOOK AT MY POOR NECK. ALL BARE AND TENDER AND EXPOSED.

...no, lol. Um. I still need to watch more canon but I AM EXCITE, Mick is looking to be a different sort of critter than Taxon is accustomed to.

[ownlittleprison]

SEE WHAT YOU DID YOU MADE MICK ALL WOOBIE FACED

Yeah, I really like what the writers did with the vampire mythos. It's the same but different. And I want to keep with the different part of the equation. >:3


News at eleven: Sofie is evil to her PCs.

[rereremembered.livejournal.com]

Keri is also evil to her PCs, or at least tries to be :3

And I applaud your commitment to the limitations, which are fabulous and make sense ♥

[ownlittleprison]

Gah, that icon! T_T

I do think they are, at that. And I'll make sure to exploit them to the fullest.

And should you happen to get any ideas re: above mentioned plot, just gimme a shout out.

...I mean, who better than to build a vampire trapping device, at said vampire's request than the Inventor Ninja. Right?

[aintnoconvict]

Equal opportunity icons of horrors, go.

And plots. Plots are good, I am in favor, whether of the trapping or Ambassador of Good Will Horrors variety.

[ownlittleprison]

...and now I can see Glitch going to find the freaked out vampire, because look how helpless he looks! Like a kicked puppy! He can't be dangerous!

Do we want to go with that, or?

[aintnoconvict]

I dunno, we'll see how stupid I'm feeling when the time comes. Don't want to lock you into anything and give other folks a chance at horrors.

[hasaheart]

It isn't stupid if it's For the Cause. <3 But yes, we'll see. Whichever makes the most sense at the time.

[poisonousparty.livejournal.com]

By all means, Party is exposed and relatively defenseless since his laser gun doesn't work (not that he knows this yet). So it could be interesting for the both of them.

[ownlittleprison]

Party's hair won't help matters, once the hunger sets in. ;3 In that state, even the sight of a bottle of tomato juice makes him crave blood.

I'd rather not have him bite anyone unless it's really well planned out, both as a scene itself, and how to deal with the aftermath. But! I am certainly open for suggestions.

Maybe there could be a short scene where Party and Mick are discussing getting the Hell out, and all of a sudden Party's hair looks entirely too tasty. And wouldya lookit those veins in his neck. Self restraint = GO GO GO!

[poisonousparty.livejournal.com]

I think this is a marvelous idea! By all means, hit me up, i'd love an actual well thought-out plottage if'n you want.

[ownlittleprison]

/IMs for plotting purposes! :3

[smecker.livejournal.com]

who are you

what is this

i'm lost

[ownlittleprison]

you! you with the ugly face! get outta here! :P

[whoneedsrules.livejournal.com]

Sweet, a new kind of vampire. Very exciting! :3

I'm interested to see how this will play out! It's late and I'm not braining at full capacity right now, but I'd gladly get Katherine here involved - if only in a "let's poke at things a bit with a stick for my own amusement" kind of way. She's very curious about things that may potentially stir up some havoc, unfortunately. :/ So if nothing else, she'd probably at least keep an eye on him and see what happens?

[ownlittleprison]

All the pretty girls talking with Mick right off the bat... All the pretty. XD

And hey, like I said in a comment up above I want all the CR ever. Including the one that is for the amusement of another character, who's curious about havoc wreaking stuff.

I love that Mick's sort of counter intuitive, as a vampire. He doesn't always do what you expect, or for the reasons you think would make sense. He's very much human in that sense.

Or, well, he wants to be.

[whoneedsrules.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I'm a fan of all kind of CR as well, both positive and a bit less positive in tone. I have a feeling Mick and Katherine may not quite see eye-to-eye on some (mostly related to the vampiric stuff, from what I surmised from reading Mick's app) things once everything is out in the open, and I must say I'm quite looking forward to how it will shape up. :)

[ownlittleprison]

If we were talking in Vampire: The Masquerade terms, Mick's Humanity score would be off the charts. Not seeing eye-to-eye on vampire stuff will actually remind Mick of home (for better or worse), as he and his best buddy (a 400+ years old vampire) bicker constantly about right and wrong, vampires vs. humans and so on and so forth.

Which isn't to say I expect Katherine to let Mick in on her own self being a vampire. But still, I can see heated debates. :D

Since Moonlight vamps are so different from other canons, I think it's safe to say neither type vamp will recognize the other as such. Y/N/cookies?

[whoneedsrules.livejournal.com]

That sounds like an interesting spin which I'm certainly looking forward to! All the debates will be welcome. :)

Also, Katherine's been having a bad week and with the people she was mostly upholding the cover of being just a regular human now gone, she won't bother hiding the fact for much longer. Plus she's kind of volatile and impulsive and might, like... snap an Extra's neck in a fit of temper one of those days soon. Or something. :/ In a nutshell, her vampire status won't be a secret for much longer. I'll make a post in the ooc comm about it beforehand for planning purposes and such.

Yep, this sounds good to me! TVD vamps are also a bit out of the norm physically in that they have a beating heart, they need to breathe and so on which makes them very similar to regular humans as long as they keep a steady blood diet. So yes, unconventional vamps unite. XD

[ownlittleprison]

Eee, debating :D

And ooh, Extra beatings! Mick will probably maul an unfortunate Extra at the end of this month, right before he holes himself up somewhere. Seriously, more people need to take out their frustrations at the Extras.

See? This is what I miss by thinking I can't keep up with all the vampire shows! ~fistbump~ To quote aforementioned best buddy from Moonlight, "Vampire solidarity. Rah rah rah, and all that".

[tothelightshown.livejournal.com]

Ooh, making the Taxon sun just as dangerous to him as the ordinary sun is a brilliant twist. And I really need to watch Moonlight.
