Yes. Mind you, within the first month of them being together, he had run away and tortured someone half to death then got his ass landed in the cells. Random being the one who tracked him down, choked him unconscious, and then stalked him and locked him up.

Then broke up with him in the cells. Then got back together with him when Ramon accepted a curse that would make him feel all the pain he'd ever caused.

Then broke up with him again when Ramon said something that made him think he didn't love him. Then got back together with him when Ramon proved, emphatically, that he DID.

And that was three months in by then, as Ramon was locked up for a month and cursed with that pain for a month... but surviving that? Made them SO STRONG.

From:

No kidding.

So far we've had mindrape, physical assult, more mindrape, shooting, stabbing, snarking, and threats.

Oh, and mindrape.

*is so evil to pup*

From:

One of them needs to do something to HELP the other. Claustrophobic Random sat in the cells with Ramon for LOADS of the first month, and stayed basically at his side for ALL of the second one, holding him when things got bad.

We should have some Plot. With Random thrown in and LESS DEATH. Possibly working together for a change.

From:

Mm, that we should. That would be wonderfully fun, actually.

Any ideas?

From:

Dude, lets use the life debt as part of it. And Mal's canon. Something nasty happens in canon, she asks Sands to come too. And possibly drags Ramon in, which drags Random in, and then BAM. We have a quest.

Any kind of ritual/quest/avoidance thingy she could go through? Something as simple as a flood in the place she calls home and needing some help in relocation of dangerous/mundane/whatever things. Or maybe Santino as a part of it.

Which would be great, actually, as it'd bring the DEBT really into play. As Random would gladly help Mal, but would rather chew tinfoil than help Santino.

From:

Hmmm. Lessee. Home is pretty much open to EVERYTHING. Lemme think. Sounds good, though!

Mind if Susan pops over here to offer her contribution?

From:

Of course not! Jump on in, Susan!

What I'm thinking is they need a traveller. Which is how Random comes in. He can get them anywhere, anywhen, and if that made it safer for Ramon, he would, too.

From:

Hokay. Well, due to war, what about relocation of refugees? That would work with Random, though I'm not sure how Sands would be involved.

From:

Oh, oh! Ramon could make Sands come along to help as part of his debt? That'd be killing two birds with one stone. Though it'd have to be something unpleasant to satisfy Ramon, methinks.

From:

*nod* See, that works. Now what nasty things are there she could do/get up to?

If Parker mun was about, I'd ask that they spring him from prison, but I think she's gone and there's probably a plot for that. Maybe someone else important ends up in prison? Or somewhere trapped?

From:

Most likely plot, although she's back in a week, I believe.

And we could always use Polly! Mal's halfway in love with her, will do pretty much anything to protect her, and she lives there year-round...will that work?

From:

See below. I vote Sands.

From:

*establishes idealess presence*

*THUSFAR idealess*

From:

You know, if you read the above comment, it could very well be SANDS who was stuck somewhere and needed the bitter couple to help Mal come spring him.

If it was dangerous enough, that could knock off Ramon's lifedebt. And it could be Mal helping Sands. Which is the kind of NICE CONSTRUCTIVE thing that's good for people. Heck, if she was hurt in the effort, we could even get Random shoving her into Sands' arms and saying 'if she gets shot, it's YOUR FAULT, now get into the van' while pulling out a gun to give them a bit of cover.

From:

...ooooh, very nice. Very nice indeed.

I'm up for it!

From:

*ponders*

I don’t know quite what he’d be doing or why to get in such a situation… although, I do have some OOM sekrit plot stuff that it could kind of fit into. But that’s not for a while yet.

From:

Though, lots of time would mean lots of plotting! Which is always handy.

From:

Exactly!

And I'm sure it could fit in SOMEHOW.

From:

And it's not like half the bar isn't pissed at him. Satan decides to drag him off somewhere? Someone who likes Mal decides they've had enough of him?

From:

>.< It's true, he isn't well liked. Satan dragging him off would make me cackle gleefully, but I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head who'd decide to something about him.

Except, obviously, Ramon.
