So, remember that plot thing I had planned

[ownlittleprison]

My brain has gone into Arghwhatismylife mode, and as per Keri's suggestion, I'm opening up a post for plotting and discussion and a general exchange of what people want to see happen/be part of happening.

So. Mick's not coping well with a) the sun, b) the hatched blood supply, c) all of the above, and is heading straight for a meltdown of if not epic, then substantial proportions.

I have two things in mind for his secret being revealed:

1) A handful of Extras being mauled over the course of the coming week - one or two each night, harmed but not to the point of dying. They'll be needing medical aid, but won't know what hit them. Of course, anyone with a pair of eyes will see the bite marks (actual bite marks, not two puncture wounds as in this instance my headcanon > canon convention. Yes, the incisors will leave a greater mark, but there should be bruising where the other teeth pressed into the skin (la la dorky blithering)).

2) Upon realizing there's no avoiding a blood frenzy, Mick will sequester himself in his apartment and issue a city wide emergency message, telling people how to keep themselves safe. Maybe even to the extent of how to kill him.

And this is where I want input: Details! The above is just the big picture, and I would love all of you to help in filling in the fine print, so to speak. Everything from establishing exchanges between Mick and your characters that have happened "off screen" to scenes directly connected to the revelation. I want it all. Hit me with your best shot. No idea is too silly/trivial/oh but she won't like this!

Without you guys, Mick's plot will just be two posts of me narrating the crap out of things, and that's not what I want. I want interaction and relationships forged in times of morally dodgy circumstances (and any other kind of context too)! I want all your ideas and input.

Hugs and kisses from yours truly (Sofie).

Caroline's a vampire herself, so she'll probably want to reach out to him when he's locked himself in his apartment. Maybe get him to feed on bunnies. So he's got an ally in her, most definitely.

Piper ... will probably threaten to blow him up or freeze him continuously if he's a lovely dude. She could try a few spells and potions? But it really depends on how he approaches it/when she comes in as to how she acts. If she becomes aware when he's sending out the emergency message, she'll probably be Nice Piper with the freezing and potions and stuff.

Fun thing I found out on watching the entire show again, after apping and everything? Moonlight vamps can survive on animal blood...but it's revealed in, like, the third to last episode. I say revealed when I mean 'throw-away comment'.

But I'm sticking to my guns re: human blood. :3


...and I'm tangenting. I would love more interaction with either of your characters, any way you think would work.

Oh, gross. I hate it when things like that happen. Either introduce it as a thing or don't introduce it if you're not going to work with it properly. That's a big thing to introduce, too.

If you want to bring in the animal blood, Caroline can take him under her wing and do what Stefan did for her. Teach him the ways of the bunny? I know Caroline's trying to avoid being a vampire and this will make her confront her little issues.

Well, unfortunately the show was cancelled due to the writers' strike, and it might not have been such a silly thing if it had at least gotten a second season. But, as noted, I am ignoring it!

I'd love to see Caroline facing her inner demons, as it were, but Mick's plot is sort of hinging on the fact (headcanoned or no) that he's limited to human blood. I'd like to keep it that way, but! He will be undergoing experiments with Doctor Magnus and Glitch, to see if they can't find a medicine/cure for him. He'll be plenty open about said experiments and wishes to be turned back to human, so...maybe that would give her a chance to talk about it with him?
