Oh, FUN! *g* I was actually going to suggest (before my internet randomly died, but it's back now so yay) that the minivaners could go through other people's worlds on the way to finding Sands. Could get more people involved, and be funny as fuck.

I think I'd have to have Sands unconscious at first, just so Lawrence could find him like that. Because that would be a moment of pure wtf. Then he could wake up and be bitchy! Best of both worlds!

[knights-say-nih.livejournal.com]

That's a great idea. We can put up a back room post beforehand asking people if they want in on it. And then maybe put up a short fic style bit about the ride, and allow people to tag in with almost being run over by a minivan. Sort of the way the Black Sunday plot was run for the Harry Potter thing.

In specific bits, one or another of the people could get out of the minivan to find a corner store for cigarettes, a bathroom, fast food service, whatever, and THAT way there could be interactions with loads of people if we wanted.

There's so many different worlds, the possibilities are endless! Although, can Random only go to alternate versions of Earth, or can he go anywhere? Like, onto different planets and whathaveyou.

*shifty grin*

Random's travel magic is born of his ability to and success in walking the Pattern. Which is the blueprint for the universe. He can go anywhere, and because everything exists in some form out there, his travel is limited only by his imagination.

If he can picture it happening, it can come true. He also has limited control over what he calls Shadow, in walking between them, he can use the places where the edges bleed a little and do things like restore a room that had been trashed to its immaculate state beforehand, or suddenly make rocks that weren't falling before a little more inclined to tumble. 'Shadow' for him is what we know as 'matter.'

It runs in his family. Julian, for example, likes to make horses. From scratch.

Powerful little buggers, and they generally doesn't let on, either.

*eyes*

Perhaps he made mine. HAS JUST GOT BACK FROM SHOW YES.

And agree. To everything, whee! Sounds v. v. fun.

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

They'll see anything and everything.

Random: Take a left here.
Santino: Fine fine-- woah. What is that?
Random: Run it over run it over run it over run it over RUN IT OVER RIGHT NOW
Santino: I'm trying, I'm try--
THUNK
Random: I think you got it. Okay. Like I said. Take a left here.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

*snerks* So the minivan can go anywhere? That will be interesting!

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

You both get to start brainstorming where you want them to hit, both on the way there and back.

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

We've got Vietnam, to evade cunfire and explosions and see Mary-Anne. Parker's world, for fun and possible petty crime.

That's it for now, but more soon!

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

I have a vision of Random seeing Parker at a bus station, leaning over and slamming on the horn, making Santino jump and the car swerve like crazy, all of them waving at Parker and zooming by in the crowd of crazies, leaving him standing there like 'omgwtf?'

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

...*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.

[silverpenlight.livejournal.com]

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.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

Yes! That would be BRILLIANT!

Also, they should go to Africa and be stampeeded by elephants! I can't actually think of any pups who are in Africa, but it would make me giggle.

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

Dude. Make it mammoths.

I think there also needs to be a small dragon perched on the hood of the car at one point. So they can all sit and stare. And stare. And stare. Until Ramon reaches forwards, and slams on the horn and the thing bolts and they gun the motor and GO.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't say no to mammoths and small dragons, can I?

Ahaha, we're going to have Sands and Ramon together in a confined space for what seems to be a rather long drive. Things will be interesting.

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

Random will just eventually hand Mal a rolled up newspaper.

Also, possibly, scream "SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP" at one point, as he needs to concentrate to get them moving in the right direction, and by that time will be tired.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

*snerks* You never know, the trip may be a Bonding Experience for Sands and Ramon.

... I mean, we've got mammoths. Stranger things have happened ¬_¬

(Speaking of which, WE SHOULD HAVE A JURRASIC PARK MOMENT! They're driving along what seems to be a nice, normal road, when- oh, what's this? A curious rumbling in the distance!

Next thing they know, velociraptors are racing the van! *dramatic chord*)

Oooh, they should go to Discworld too. Like, Ankh-Morpork or something.

[underwater-owl.livejournal.com]

I LIKE this idea.

Except they should be unrecognizable animals, seeing as Random would take them anywhere and everywhere.

Possibly Jabberwocks.

[wanttobeatree.livejournal.com]

... you win.

So how long is this trip? Is it two there and two back?
