Evil plans for Crichton revenge, muahahaha. (Cam? Aeryn? Look here.)

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Cut-tagged for SPOILERS, for everyone *not* involved in this plot. If you replied to Parker's call for help, I do want you involved. Some of the details need to be worked out, and there should be a lot of latitude.

Aeryn, Cameron Mitchell, I'd like your help, please? If not, we'll probably still do it, but it might be a lot harder.

Crichton, don't look!

And if you're none of the above, don't look.

Okay, here's the plan:

We're going to kidnap John in the middle of the night and swap him with Cameron. Then
get everyone to call him Cameron for the day. That is, if Cameron's amenable to being either an active participant or an unintendent casualty of the prankage.

Accompanied by some kind of fireworks or shiny pyrotechics when he wakes up, or right before he goes to sleep, I think we can sell this.

Rogue, I was thinking you could skim Crichton's memories earlier on Friday-- not so much he passes out-- just enough that you could give info to Cam on being "Crichton", and make it all more believable.

Meanwhile, everyone is calling John "Cameron", and is deeply concerned about him. We could be trying to keep him from "wandering off", or trying various methods to "help him get his memory back."

Ancient memory devices? Magic? Hits to the head? Drugs? Hypnosis? Whatever your little heart and evil mind desires.

Any other suggestions? And who wants to be part of the kidnap team?

ETA: This whole kidnap idea is havocthecat's, that is to say, Janet & Drusilla's mun. *dopeslaps self*


ETA: Tasks so far, as outlined:

Cam is now an innocent victim as well. With Beka claiming that they had sex, and Cam is thus "obviously" not a virgin and everyone else going along with that -- as well as the John-is-Cam, Cam-is-John thing-- both of them will be freaked out.

Cam's mun doesn't want him 'zatted, 'cause it hurts so Janet or Sam or Elizabeth, if you want to use the 'zats, can a 'zat be modified so it's much less painful, but still knocks you out?

Callisto has obtained some drugs from The Old Shop. Vala, if you'll obtain some other drug (on Janet's recommendation) from the clinic, we can keep re-drugging the guys and moving them around like Gumby when they get suspicious.

Zero volunteered lockpicking skills, but we do have two rooms to deal with now, so if there's another lockpicker who wants in, that would be good.

Gaeta (as Cam's roommate) needs to be distracted, 'zatted, or out of the way, and so does John's roommate. (Who *is* his roommate, is it Lee? I'm losing track here.)

Rogue, I still think lifting a few memories from John would be good, just to give people something to mess with his head about-- "you *told* me this John" -- and if you want to grab some from Cam too, that might help. However, as he's not the real target of this prank, that can be avoided if it's too much trouble.

Boomer, Starbuck, Aeryn--- you guys are probably gonna be kidnap team 1 or 2 for our boys. How many of you do you think it takes to move a really cute-but-heavy body? And if it takes 3 or so people to move a guy, who else wants to move the secondary victim?

Veronica, Rory, Joan, Angela-- how'd you like to be on distract-the-roomies duty (Gaeta, and John's roomie, I can't remember who)? Or lookout duty? Is there anything else you can think of that your character would want to do?

Beka & Aeryn are going to be messing with the boys even more than everyone else, but everyone of course is in on the "You're the other guy" part of it.

Did I miss anything or anyone? (If I did, just speak up! Everyone gets to play)

A lot of this shouldn't be over-directed, and a lot can be back-dated, just re-directed to the posts that are already up.

We don't have any magic-users in this lot, do we? Pity. That would make it easier.

ETA3: Who wants to talk Drusilla into hypnotizing the guys off and on this weekend? Maybe just have her do it on Saturday, so they end up in *another* place they didn't expect? (Dru's mun is good with this, but Dru won't think of helping on her own. Parker will do this if no one else wants the job.)

And with that, MP's mun goes off to work.

Operation Manchurian Candidate is set for Friday, any time everyone's available. We can slow-play it to draw it out. Let me know if that's a problem, and we'll re-schedule.

See Next Post for updates the plan, and composites of what people volunteered for down below)

Oohh! I wanna help kidnap! *g*

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Dude, you are so there!

heheheheh. And if Lee suspects anything about his boyfriend becuase the subtext goes away, Kara will proably have to run some interference there. < g >

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Oh! I do! I want to help kidnap! Mostly because I'm not magical or a mutant, so I'm useless with like, everything else.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

yayy! You can be lookout, maybe? Help direct our team carrying Laughing Boy to Cam's room? That would be well within Rory's abilities, and is still important. And *anything* you want to do to him over the weekend, on the excuse that he's Cam, would be good.

[janet_fraiser]

OMG, I am neither magical or a mutant either. I just have access to kick-ass tech and the personality to intimidate a 5,000 year old Immortal a Special Forces trained USAF Colonel/General/whatever librarians and teenagers.

And Rory is so totally hanging out with the cool non-magical non-mutant people already. Rory rocks! Seriously, I love the way you play her. Mischevious, not evil. Hee!

(Though if you ever do decide you want to go evil, let me know, because I mod Drusilla and we can do this horrible plotline where she stalks you and turns you into a vampire, and everyone can angst over how nice you used to be.)

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Heee!!! Sounds like fun. I'll help with the kidnapping

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Cool! Would Elizabeth know any good chloroform drugs or anything to dose Crichton's drink with, so he stays asleep longer, do you think?

Hunh, actually, that's something Janet would know. Gotta get her to volunteer that. Maybe you could be the one to drug his drink?

[swerval_zero]

Rephrase that so I don't sound like a loony, since I didn't realize what comm this was in.

Zero's kidnapped before, and you'll want a lockpicker. I want in on the kidnapping team.

[swerval_zero]

P.S. you are evil. But in a good way.

[can_be_more]

OH HELL YES OMG.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Dude. Yayyy! Aeryn now knows that she's to call John Cam, and Cam John. Hehehehehe.

And hey! She'll get to do that flirting she wanted to do, since Cam will have to play along!

*dies*

[sharon-valerii.livejournal.com]

So. There.

And, er, can't speak for Cam, but, er, he might be amenable.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Yayyyy! (are you Cam's mun as well? Heh. We should have Beka recruit him.)

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

*taps fingers together in a very Mr. Burns-esque way* Excellent. Rogue certainly is willing to help in any way possible.

[[I'm busy all of Friday night (CST) but will be able to be on earlier in the day, and Thursday night as well. I will also admit complete ignorance of both fandoms involved, so you're going to have to help me out. I'm working on it, though, I swear!]]

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Works! yayy!

I know Farscape fandom pretty well, I don't know how many details or what kind you want, but maybe you can work that out with Can_be_more, since she'll be the one verifying "John" is who he claims he is. :>>

Earlier in the day is fine! Do you have any classes with Crichton? That would probably be the best time.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Pyrotechnics!

Sam is SO. IN.

*starts planning shiny explosions*

Although if you want her for the kidnapping/knocking out, she can help with that - military gal, etc.

Hm. in SG-1, the 'ribbon device (http://www.infinitelybetter.com/Display/images/ApedMetallicRibbonDevice(200).jpg)' is usually used as a weapon of pure force (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/aliyates/kernel/ribbon.jpg), or, occasionally, an instrument of torture (http://www.homestead.com/stargategateway/files/Ribbon_device.jpg).

Which you may not want for Crichton. *g*

[janet_fraiser]

Hee! OMG, we are so evil! Isn't this fun?

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

So in! Not sure what you still need covered, but Vala's always big with the distractions and sleight-of-hand/five-finger-discounting, should such be needed.

Plus she has no shame. That's gotta be good for something. ;-)

[aka-vala.livejournal.com]

AIMing with Parker's mun, got evil idea: We'll strip him, and leave him chloroformed enough to wander out without clothes (public nudity is always fun!)

Then Vala can add to the "You're Cam!" arguments that she could clearly *see* that he's no virgin, so he must be Cam, right? (Poor John is clueless enough to believe this if Vala sells it well enough, especially if the other girls agree this is an easily discernable fact on a guy. >;-))))

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

I'm in, but if you want to involve Cam, you should try and bring Beka onside too.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Yup, she said she wanted to be, I gotta check in with her. I have a feeling Parker's gonna owe her *big* for this one.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica knows all about how people "disappear" and could help cover tracks and the like.

*thumbs up* on the revenge plot, by the way :)

[janet_fraiser]

Hee! I adore Veronica. BTW, I will be contacting you once I (the 'mun) have spare time to help me resolve the locked-in-the-bathroom thing. :)

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

((((((Lee will be so CONFUSED!!!!1!! I love eeeeeet!!))))))

[janet_fraiser]

*dies laughing*

Hey, I had an idea up earlier in the thread. I totally don't know if you want to go along with it or not, but if you do, then the subtext doesn't disappear, and you flirt with Cam too, causing all kinds of jealous and teary angstfests.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. You might have to knock Cam out to get him to work along. Or really intimidate him. (Sorry, i think I was sleeping when this got posted.)

[janet_fraiser]

I'm all for intimidation. *eg*

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

*ahem*

Seeing as how this concerned Cam and he's my boyfriend currently under my surveillance, I just wanted to say that I fully support this plan.

On one condition.

I get Aeryn's permission to attempt to break the ice engage Crichton in some preliminary sexual activities, because this will be enormously convincing to everyone. Also, it will make Cam jealous as hell and maybe get me a little action.

If this is agreeable, I'm in. And I'll contribute whatever force is needed to get Cam to participate. Or I'll kiss him. Then he flail and beg to be away from me for the day. *g*

[janet_fraiser]

I adore Beka. So. Damn. Much. *snicker*

Oooh, idea!

[janet_fraiser]

Sam, Lizzie, and I were going to do a "women of the SGC" slumber party this weekend. What say we open it up a bit, like, to the women on this thread, and then when the boys crash it (as we know they will), we drug or 'zat them there and drag them back to their rooms.

Re: Oooh, idea!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

New idea: Initially, drugs, -- thanks to Vala and/or Callisto, maybe Callisto to get Vala into the clinic with an excuse for helping her, then Vala five-finger discounts it--

-- and then for the rest of the weekend, whenever one of the guys gets suspicious, and enough time has passed, we 'zat him and move him around and convince him stuff has happened that he doesn't remember.

Heh.

[sensethevisions]

I am so there. Just tell me what to do.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Any thing in particular that Phoebe could contribute, as either a magic user or as Spider's assistant, to lend versimilitude? Background stuff on either Cam or John, or sparkly pyrotechnics?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

If you could have a "relapse" and get Vala in there, and provide distraction while she grabs it? That would be good, 'cause I was hoping to give everyone something to do. But if you want to be one of our lockpickers (Zero volunteered to be one, but we've got two bedrooms to deal with) or how to get ther respective roomies out of the way? That owuld be good.

Waaait. heh. Isn't Archie Cam's roommate?

And hasn't Callisto been lusting after Lee?

Totally at your discretion, but it might be fun if you did something like that....

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

And hasn't Callisto been lusting after Lee?

Yes, yes she has.

Also, Callisto just got hold of something (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomtownies/22577.html?thread=753201#t753201) that might be of use in the plan.

[swerval_zero]

John has a single, so that should make things a bit easier. Only one roommate to neutralize.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

oh, cool. Yay! Thanks, Zero. :>

[janet_fraiser]

You take a simple, two-sentence revenge suggestion and turn it into Operation Manchurian Candidate. I fear you. *eg*

And I'd say that we could probably talk Sam into modifying zats into having four settings instead of three--stun, stun-with-pain, kill-really-dead, and destroy-the-evidence (i.e., disintegrate).

Or, alternately, we flirt with Radek and have him do it. He seems to be a good sport (he offered to rewire Daniel's car to switch around drive and reverse for me).

Or maybe Boomer could do it for us? She's a toaster; she's good with machines.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Heheheheh. You can tell work is slow this week, cna't you?

You take a simple, two-sentence revenge suggestion and turn it into Operation Manchurian Candidate. I fear you. *eg*

Revised part of plan: Dru is now hypnotizing Mitchell *and only Mitchell* into believing he's Crichton. Rogue wil have the info to give her, and she can put some basic stuff in Cam's head to back it up.

Works?

[janet_fraiser]

What about Phoebe? Didn't she volunteer in the other thread?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

She's on "shiny things" with Sam or lockpicking with Team #2.

Damnit, I *never* wanted to be a freakin' faction leader....
