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

Mind if Susan pops over here to offer her contribution?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

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.

[eiattu_pride]

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.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

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.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

*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?

[eiattu_pride]

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?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

See below. I vote Sands.

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.

[eiattu_pride]

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

I'm up for it!

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

*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.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

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

[eiattu_pride]

Exactly!

And I'm sure it could fit in SOMEHOW.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

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?

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

>.< 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.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

Biiiiig difference between well liked IC and well liked OOC, of course. Don't fret. Bastards get the most love, while the nice people are like 'oh holy fuck, they've tagged AGAIN? How many times can my emotionally dysfunctional character tell yours they're not interested in becoming friends for life?!?!?!'

*loves on Sands* Random wants to shoot him back, but I love him.

And as I said. Dworkin would do it just because.

[eiattu_pride]

Oh, my god. YES. DWORKIN.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_to_the_bone/]

When Write gets back, I'll talk to her about making Stan a part of it too, perhaps. And you should get on with Santino mun. If there was something vampiric going down between Sands and Santino, Dworkin would;

a) want to rescue Sands
b) have his logic/control COMPLETELY FUCKED OVER by the sight of blood
c) react by dragging Sands bodily into something very not good, likely. And possibly Santino too, before shooting him back to the bar. That way, Random would get the description he'd need to be able to pattern walk to wherever Sands is.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

*is dreading Random finding out about Sands' shooting habits. In a 'totally looking forward to it' kind of way*

Dworkin would be BRILLIANT, yes!

(And if we went down the Satan path instead, Sands has the whole owing Satan for the gun thing. If Stan got bored of waiting for Sands to repay him, he could take matters into his own evil hands.)

*bright smile*

*With lots of teeth*

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

*eyes*

*fearfully*

[knights-say-nih.livejournal.com]

So. Apparently, Santino is at our disposal!
Timezones providing.

And I have a basic working summary right below this.

[eiattu_pride]

*SNERK*

[knights-say-nih.livejournal.com]

The basic ideas we have sketched out so far envolve Ramon, Random, Mal, Santino, Dworkin and Sands which is a nice colourful cast, but widening the range would be even better if we can think of ways to draw other people in, I imagine.
The thoughts we'd had;

Santino, who does not LIKE Sands even one little bit, finally gets into a confrontation with him.
Possibly with someone else's help, (I'm considering Parker when he gets back, Hallia likes the idea of Stan, Susan's gone to bed and can't give imput...) the situation Escalates until there is blood.
Dworkin: BLOOD ARGH OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!! *freaks out, grabs Sands and Santino and drags them off to god knows what shadow, through fog and fire and just generally having a mental breakdown trying to make them stop. Eventually dropping Sands somewhere where Santino SEES what the surrounding is like.
Santino gets brought back to the bar.

Mal: *unhappy*
She'd go to Ramon as part of the life debt for getting him back. Except probably to get him to do something shitty and dangerous and go get something nasty to scry for her to find Sands.
Random points out that HE could do it.
Buuuuuuut needs Santino.
Thus, Mal, Random, Ramon and Santino in a minivan slash whatever, all out on the road to rescue Sands.

The PROS of this are that Random, in shadow shifting, walks them through any number of universes.
Which could be WHATEVER the muns like.


Mwahahaaha!

[knights-say-nih.livejournal.com]

Also, I've just been on with Lettie, the lovely mun of Lawrence, and we have another suggestion.


Dworkin could drop Sands ANYWHERE, and he'd likely do it somewhere odd and empty.
Like the desert at sunset.
So if Lawrence was the one to find Sands they could have stuff going on there (either of Sands bitching or Sands unconscious and dehydrated, your choice, Susan) and the two could be out in the middle of nowhere with no access to a door to get back to the bar and TELL Mal that they're alright, so the rest of the Minivaners of Doom (tm) go out to get him ANYWAYS...


So I just like the idea of a minivan in the world of Lawrence of Arabia. So sue me. *snicker* But that works, as it's more clear Dworkin isn't leaving him to die. They just THINK he is because death isn't in immediate sight.
