Buffy/Angel folks

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

And in the same vein as the HP post, here's one for the Buffy/Angel folks to get their stories straight, because I don't think I've seen one of those posts, either.

(I swear to God, I will get everybody added today if it kills me. Actually, would anybody be willing to help by adding people to fandomhighdorms and maybe here, too? Because that would help a lot, since I closed all three comms. Fandom_lounge, at least, I can handle. :))

I can't help with adding people but I can do these timeline posts if you want. It wouldn't take long for me and it'd give you some free time.

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

That would be a huge help. Thanks. :)

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

No prob, I'll take it from here.

If you want to add me as maintainer of any of the comms you want people approved for, I'll get right to it.

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

I just set you up as maintainer for OOC and the dorms. Have I told you you rock? 'Cause, seriously, you do. :)

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

I try my best.

howdy. i'd like to present a tentative storyline for anya. suggestions are appreciated; i'm quite new at this.

as far as i can tell she never actually finished high school before the whole Graduation Day debacle-- therefore if she, say, wanted to get a business degree to learn how to Make More Money and start her own business, she'd probably need some sort of GED. perhaps giles has encouraged her to take classes? she obviously isn't thrilled at the idea of going back but is trying to fake it well.

i planned on playing her somewhere in season 6 because of her whole "xander and i are getting married" schtick but it doesn't really matter; we could have her just be anticipatory about being with xander as a wife way prior to his actual proposal, or we could just ignore that little outburst in the enrollment thread. i dunno.

she will probably eventually let loose about her ex-demon status but for now she is in a new place and isn't sure who is Watching (hahaha) so it might take her a while to realize nobody likely cares.

I'm more looking to play high school Xander, if it won't kill Anya's backstory too much. [Just because a) I'm a slasher, though I'm not totally averse to either/or happening in the course of play and b) I'm going on 3 RPGs now where I've RP'd the Xander/Anya ship in some form of S6, so I'd welcome the change that free-agent status would offer.]

I'd be cool with them having done the prom thing and then being more or less where they were in canon before graduation? That still leaves plenty of room for Anya to decide she's going the Better Business Bureau route, if she's still in her first 'trapped in high school' experience. Or if you wanted her to be older, I'm sure we could figure out something. Maybe they came in from different timelines; if anybody has that opening in their background, it'd be Anya.

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

seeing that there is a Ripper, i figured multiple timelines would make the most sense. besides, having two xanders to deal with in anya's world would make things... interesting for her :) i'd like her to eventually dump the xander she comes home to anyway, maybe.

i'd still like to hear from willow and giles before i totally make up my mind though...

okay, for now...

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

i'm just going to start playing as if i've seen you out of the corner of my eye, am confused, and will investigate later this week.

of course i'm assuming it's some dumb spell willow messed up.

Re: okay, for now...

[soldtoarmenians]

Works for me. (Willow appears to be from post-series, so it looks like we have a number of different timelines going on, potentially, anyhow.)

Re: okay, for now...

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

yeah, i noticed that too. i'm really curious about her being post-series and going to high school... it's killing me not knowing what is being planned on that end.

future plans

[not-an-ex-demon.livejournal.com]

PS: We don't have to have a ship, but is it okay if (eventually) she stalks you for a short while?

[nightsmoonchild.livejournal.com]

I'd like to communicate with other muns before I make any major decisions (especially Willow)

But I do know he does not have control of the wolf. I may utilise that as a story line at some point.

[forlornslayer.livejournal.com]

I haven't decided where I'm playing Buffy yet because I wanted to find out how the other characters were playing this out, first.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

My feeling is Angelus and Buffy should at least know one another, because it's more fun if they can play off of trying to get under each other's skins.

As for the rest... issh. I mean technically speaking a teen Angelus is always going to look like a teen, and him being turned when he was a teen throws all kinds of interesting monkey wrenches into things, but OTOH there's always the magic of not looking at that too closely ;)

There's also the Angel sitch, if we ever wanted to try that at some point. So do we want Angel(us) and Buffy to have backstory, or do we want Buffy and Angelus to just know each other by reputation?

[forlornslayer.livejournal.com]

I vote backstory!

Sorry, I'm a sap. ;)

I'm open.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Backstory works. That way if we ever go the Angel route we can have OMGAngst instead of Angel walking around like a moron going "Buffy who?" (as opposed to his usual just walking around like a moron.) (Thanks, I'll be here all week ;) )

Lesse... maybe a backstory of teen!Angel (I am now so sorry for getting that song stuck in your head) and Buffy that's sort-of kind of close to canon except for Angel's age? So that way we keep the relationship and the soul mates and Angelus having that obsession thing about Buffy.

[forlornslayer.livejournal.com]

I think these are all excellent ideas and we must implement them.

If he looks for her in the dorms, she's on the fourth floor.

*has amusing visions of them seeing each other*

[crazyvampchick]

*waves*

Dru's an adult, FYI. And still crazy and evil. Obsessed mostly with Spike, a little with Angelus, who is now...a teenager?

This is gonna get weird.

[crazyvampchick]

So you're a Buffy/Angel 'shipper?

Which is cool, because I really want to find a way to ignore work past that whole Buffy/Spike thing. If you're amenable.

[forlornslayer.livejournal.com]

I am so definitely a Buffy/Angel shipper and have no problem wither moving past or completely ignoring the Buffy/Spike thing.

Ignoring it completely works for me if it works for you.

OOC backstory

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Hey,

Sticking this here so it's sort of in the same place for future reference:

Are you okay if I up Angelus's backstory to at least an s3 Buffy? I think with all the characters running around (like Faith, Anya, etc) it's just easier if I can say he knows them already.

I realize that does then raise the question of how'd he lose the soul and then get to Fandom High so... uh... look over there! Away from the plot hole!

Anyway, wanted to check with you since Buffy's backstory is the one that's most closely tied to his, so I didn't want to mess you up any.

Re: OOC backstory

[forlornslayer.livejournal.com]

You mean playing like it's Season 3 and he didn't get his soul back at the end of Season 2?

*is not quite awake yet so needs clarification*

Do you have AIM or Yahoo?

Re: OOC backstory

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

I've got AIM but I can't use it at work.

And I think keep the s3 canon pretty much as-is, just figure that at some point in the last 3/4 of it maybe things went different? Maybe Angel touched the wrong magical MacGuffin and was automatically zapped over to Fandom High, sans soul? Something like that?
