...*snerks*

Oh, yeah. This has totally turned into minivan-plot.

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

Dude, yes.

It will be less of the crack when Sands is actually in TROUBLE, I imagine.

But still.

So, we have everyone we want so far settled to jump in. I think the best way to do it would be to set out exactly the threads we want/need, and set them up locked for slowtime commencement as soon as possible (Write's working, I'm starting work, Alex's in Australia...)
Also, encourage offshoots. One blanket post of in-the-car threads, a few offshooting conversations to be tagged in whenever people can manage or feel like.

Also? As of now we should all start writing ficlets, amounting to getting out at the bathroom in a world with blue sand and yellow sky. Or a thoughtful description of eating in silence at a place that serves Kentucky Fried Lizard Partes. Get your character's presence/oppinion well established.

Shall get on it!

Oh, and I think someone needs to try and teach Mal how to drive.

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

It'll largely end up being Santino. Random needs to be in the front seat, and needs to have Santino in a seat with a view (non-tinted) and close enough that he doesn't have to strain to hear him giving him directions.

Which means they'll need to hit up a motel or something somewhere along the line. If only for RANDOM to sleep.

How long do we want the trip to take?

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

Mmm - how long would be appropriate, you think?

(I now have a mental image of Random waking up, and coming out of the motel to find Mal and Santino looking extremely guilty, standing next to the minivan.

Which seems to be halfway through a wall.)

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

The main problem I foresee with this trip is that Random, feeling how he does about Santino, will be reluctant to show him his abilities.

Except in that case, he'd look at them both, say 'screw it' and just fix the thing. Wall and minivan both. And then walk away, muttering profanities.

Dude, it so has to happen.

I vote four days until further notice?

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

Sounds good!

I'm going away on the sixth, back on the...fifteenth, I think.

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

Sweet. Then how about tomorrow I set out the ooms we need to happen, and we devide up who wants what to happen in their journals?

If we do it all in Dworkin's, we don't have to bother with filters, as it's not commonly friended, but that's up to people.

Then the actual fight can be real-time, and we can put up the car-ooms afterwards as we go along.

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

Sounds just peachy!

(And campfires. Marshmallows and s'mores and campfires.)

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

(WTF are s'mores anyway?)

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

D:

They are good.

First, you get a graham cracker. Then, you put some Hershey's chocolate on the graham cracker. Then, you toast a marshmallow and stick THAT on the cracker. Then you get another cracker and make a little sandwich.

Is heaven.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

The day I eat Hershey's so-called chocolate will be a very sad day indeed XP

However, I may experiment with Galaxy.

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

Okay. Here, as I see it, are the threads that should go up as we want them;

The Fight
(Can this be on a monday) Dworkin, Sands and Santino travelling
Mal recruiting Ramon (hopefully in Random's presence, to minimize thread timing)
Mal recruiting Santino, at Random's behest
Sands OOM re: desert
Lawrence OOM re: finding Sands
Day 1
Day 2
Sands and Lawrence bitching
Day 3
Finding Sands
Ride Home

And all the mini threads we want to do of obstacles and so on should be rationed up between the days.

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

Sounds just fine to me, then.

[pointed-spoon.livejournal.com]

Lets try to assign which ooms happen in each journal.

Dworkin's is open for group stuff, which saves time on filters, as no one reads his.

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

Hokay. Not quite sure what should happen with Mal's journal, although I don't think it's commonly read.

[pointed-spoon.livejournal.com]

She can recruit Random and Ramon there?

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

Fine with me too!

[pointed-spoon.livejournal.com]

Who wants which ooms in which journals?

Dworkin's free for group stuff, as not commonly friended.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

Another uncommonly read journal is Sands! And I figure the Sands OOM would be in it, for starters. And most likely Finding Sands.

[pointed-spoon.livejournal.com]

*nod* That, and there should be another SNARKY one in Lawrence's. But up to you guys.

*encourages the semi-unconscious Sands snark*

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

...hang on a tic. Did you say something about having contacted Alex, or was I supposed to and *cringe* never did?

[pointed-spoon.livejournal.com]

I talked to him! (it is a 'him,' right? I never know people's genders. I called Rance a girl for MONTHS...)

He's all for it, apparently.

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

Ah, good. Freaked out a bit there. And yeah, Alex is a boy.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

*snerks* I always assume everyone on the internet is a girl. Didn't half confuse me when Hallia called him 'he'.
