A Couple Notes About Number 6

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

I'm aware that I'm from an extremely obscure fandom. I encourage one and all to read up in the Wikipedia link in my userinfo.

Anyway, regarding how I'm playing him:

1) Number 6 does not like you. It's nothing personal. He's just paranoid as all hell. I suspect he'll find compatriots later, but for now he's going to be a blustering ass.

2) I'm nothing like him. I'm very friendly.

3) Number 6 will frequently make escape attempts. These are all designed to foil themselves, so no interference is needed. If I need assistance, I'll ask.

Also, could somebody take 6's wooden crate to the post office? I would very much appreciate it.

I want you to know that you have no idea HOW MUCH I FANGIRLED AND SQUEED when I saw you pop up. And kosho ... <33333



*cranks up the Prisoner theme and grins*

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

I was worried everyone would be scratching their heads. Good to see there's a few people who dig The Prisoner.

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

Oh dear God, you're playing him like Pinky and the Brain, aren't you?

::dies::

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm working with the handicap that this particular "prison" isn't *actually* out to get him -- at least not consciously. Plus, he's probably free to leave at any time. So I'm making him deeply self-important (which, okay, not that big of a stretch) and yeah, a bit Pinky-and-Brain-ish. Essentially, he's the same arrogant sunnavagun, but with none of the wisdom of his years.

Duo could take it to the post office. He's always checking for shipments of mobile suit parts.

Want me to just post about it on the personal journal? Or is there a "post office" in 'townies?

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Actually, got it handled. The roomie, time_agent is going to be the patsy.

[02maxwell.livejournal.com]

Haha, I can imagine the roomie coming home to find a giant wooden crate in the middle of his floor would prove to be an exciting and dramatic adventure...

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

I need help getting it to the maildrop. ??? (http://www.livejournal.com/users/time_agent/789.html?mode=reply)

Also, I hope a note on a malfunctioning typewriter was sufficiently Luddite. :)

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Very much so. I would attend to the 'o' but I plan to be very far away soon.

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

I'm dying over here. Well done.

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sir. I had considered that 6 and Spider would get along, except that 6 distrusts journalism, and would probably find Spider's decadence distasteful.

He doesn't like people, I suspect.

[last-worde.livejournal.com]

EEE, NUMBER 6!

*squees and falls over*

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

*grin* Glad you approve.

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

Can I just say that the fact that we have one current season Dr. Who character and OMFG The Prisoner rooming together is just incomparably awesome?

*fangirls you completely*

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

You may say that. Indeed, you may say much more if the mood strikes you.

*returns fangirl for writing a character from a Tom Stoppard play, although one I am unfamiliar with, alas*

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

*grins*

Maybe I will someday.

And Arcadia? Arcadia is possibly my favourite Tom Stoppard play evar. Though I'm inordinately fond of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Jumpers and The Invention of Love as well. And may well be about to fall in love with Hapgood. Who, me? A drama nerd? Nah. 8)

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Cool.

Er, and I just realized that I returned your fangirl when I should've made it a fanboy. Terribly embarassing.

I am unnaturally devoted to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. I even made an (as of yet incomplete) moodtheme.

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

Ta, well - that depends on whether you think fangirling and -boying are equivalent or non-equivalent actions. Fangirling seems to involve a lot of incoherent and jumping up and down. To fanboy something on the other hand can be taken to mean one obsesses over it to an unheallthy impressive degree such that one can give a guided tour of the Enterprise(including the air ducts) or elucidate all ten-million-and-one places DC/Marvel canon has diverged/red-lined/contradicted itself. Or not.

Also re: R&G moodtheme - *squee*

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

...

That was completely awesome.

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

Er, thanks. Glad you liked.

[It's 1 am and my brain seems to revving up - despite the whole not getting enough sleep last night thing - and this is totally a more interesting conversation than any of the ones I was involved in at school today.]

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Sorry. It's a whole thing about organizational thinking and placing specific words with specific definitions. People don't get that language has nuance sometimes, even if we are just making it up as we go along.

...Never mind me. I'm the spawn of a librarian.

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

No, no - I totally get it. I mean, I grumble at people when they give me flack for, oh, saying 'I bet' 'cos Quakers don't gamble, but I really do value the nuances of language - using the right word, understanding the differences between words that are part of meaning groups, being able to use a word imprecisely on purpose. Etc, etc. Ad infinitum. Er, amen?

And I'm going to be a librarian someday. REALLY.

[Also, look what I have now! *shiny*]

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Yes! Mind you, I sometimes misuse words horribly, but I'm a context learner and am more than happy to revert to proper usage once corrected.

Me, too. It's sick in its own way.

[Very shiny.]

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

What I do more often(or at least used to do more often) is mispronounce words horribly, 'cos I'd only ever read them before. Ah, the dangers of a childhood involving more books than people.

Yeah. I had to stifle the urge to apply to be a library assistant in character b/c it wouldn't have been in character. It's bloody instinctual.*sigh*

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I signed on simply because Number 6 isn't willing to do anything, and therefore, he'll do pretty much everything. As long as he can be grumpy, defiant, and paranoid.

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

Which Methos seems to have a liking for, so he might well get the job. Not that the other applicants don't also have their . . . charms. 8)

Anyway, 's waaaay past my bedtime and I mean to sleep one of these years, so I'm gonna say goodnight and snag me a few hours sleep so I can come back and get my next fix play some more tomorrow. Night.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Hee! (It helps that the muns know each other, as well.)

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

Suppose that could help. Especially considering who your characters are. 8)

I've actually been purposefully not finding out who's playing who if I can help it, though. Dunno why, since I've done far more face-to-face gaming than this sort of thing. *shrugs*

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Maintains the illusion, I s'pose.

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

Something like.

Not that I think I actually know most of the people who are playing in this or anything. Dunno - maybe it's a fourth wall thing?

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Most likely. I've done the LJ RP thing before. The last time I did it, the group I was with was very protective of mun!identities. I can understand keeping the two things separate.

[bloodyrockgod]

I just finished watching the series thanks to Netflix. My squee knows no bounds :D.

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Excellent. Now turn right around, support your local McGoohan, and buy the damn thing.

Just kidding. I think I was crazy to drop the 90 bucks for it myself, but damn. All Number 6, all the time. Mmm.

[caroline-todd.livejournal.com]

I was so happy when I saw you!! Infact alchemic_bean's words exactly :)

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

I suppose I should never underestimate the power of fandom again. Gratified that you recognize the one and only 6 (unless you count BSG 6 or The Sixth Doctor).
