BDE: Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered...

[atreideslioness]

As originally conceived of by decoder_rings HERE, it's time for a magic dance.

That's right, boys and girls, the Goblin King is bringing his labyrinth to Fandom December 5th - 11th! He's decided that with so many people on the island that have been sort-of 'wished away' by their parent/guardian/families, that it means they're fair game for him and that the island ought to be a natural extension of his realm.

Whether you know it or not, goblins exist. And they have a king. And that king is coming to Fandom, intent on kidnapping a select group of Fandom students to take back to his lair in order to create a line of heirs for himself. What does that mean? That means Labyrinth in Fandom! That means goblins, the Bog of Eternal Stench, the oubliette, and everything else! Having heard about this island, Jareth, the Goblin King, makes his way to Fandom to claim the unwanted children and groom them as goblin princes and princesses. Per the movie canon, any student that's been wished away by a loved one will be eligible here but we'd be RNGing if too many people signed up.

Once Jareth has his six or so group of students safely locked up in his castle, it's time for him to be DISCOVERED and for those that want to try and save their friends to enter THE LABYRINTH. In the labyrinth, they will encounter a myriad of creatures, dead ends, places where they'll lose hope and maybe even JARETH HIMSELF.

Edit: So, how do you know if you qualify as "wished away"? If you've seen the movie, you know that Toby got taken in the movie because his sister just vehemently wanted him gone: "I wish the goblins would come and take you away. Right now."

Emma Frost would count, because her parents intended to put her in an insane asylum because they did not want to acknowledge 'crazy little Emma.' She's at Fandom of her own free will currently, but the it was the abandonment by her family that allowed for that. Ender Wiggin's older brother wants him sent far away to allow for Peter's own rise. While Valentine loves her brother, Ender has been wished away by Peter, and one heart-felt wish is enough to catch Jareth's ear.

Jono Starsmore would NOT count. Despite the fact that Jono feels alienated and unwanted, he was not abandoned by the people at Massachusetts Academy. While he wound up in Fandom in the wake of accidentally blowing up one of the Academy's dorm buildings, the people at the Academy wanted him to remain at Fandom quite literally for his own emotional and physical well-being. Bruce Wayne would also not count, because while his parents are DEEEEEEEEEEEAD, it was not a deliberate abandonment, but a sad accident.

It's easy for the residents of the island (especially teenagers!) to feel cast-away or abandoned by family, but if you were sent away for your safety or out of love, or through an accident, you weren't wished away in a manner that would catch Jareth's attention.

OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[atreideslioness]

I wish to be a Goblin Prince or Princess, and shall hope the RNG picks me!

You must be at Fandom High because you were "wished away" by their parents/guardians/other! And yes, there are corsets and leather pants for you.

Zatanna is totally game for this, if she gets picked.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[endsthegame]

Thanks for nothing, Peter. Ahem. That is to say, THROW ENDER IN THE RNG, even if he does not care for leather pants as much as he should.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[longislandiceme]

OH HECK WHY NOT. Throw Bobby here. Even if he's more a spandex kind of guy.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[trigons_child]

Oh oh oh sign Raven up! :)

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[glacial_queen]

Karla's so there! She even has the corset icon already!

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

SIGN UP BLACKAGAR. FROM THE WRONG JOURNAL CAUSE I'M LAZY.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[notmyownage]

Throw Claudia into the RNG pool, oh yes.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

This is Helen all over! Throw her in the RNG, please.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

Here because her parent wanted her gone? Check! Elphaba's here for the RNG.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

Seeing as how Puck's been shoved to Fandom so his mommy doesn't have to deal with his antics, he goes here. :D

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[notagoose]

I'll sign Goose up here.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[wwiii]

I think Warren pretty much has to go into this category.

NOT A DISEASE, DAD.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda would totally rock the leather pants. She was not originally sent to Fandom to get rid of her, but when she ran away to Fandom her foster parents wrote her off as dead to them. Does that count?

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

Toss Elle in for this! I love giving her issues, yes.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

Take me!

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[wrongkindofsith]

Given she already has the corset and leather pants (and nothing says we're voting you off the island like beating someone and leaving them to die in a ravine), sign Cara up!

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[icecoldfrost]

Because she really needs more encouragement to be a superior brat.

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

Sign James up!

Re: OH OH! I WANT TO BE ABDUCTED BY THE GOBLIN KING!

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

Tim Drake! Whose dad sent him to boarding school 'cause he couldn't cope with Tim's wacky teenage antics.*



*Involving the National Guard**
**But it was all really because he's Robin

Withdrawing because I'm not sure how much energy I'll have for the BDE.

SHE DID NOT SAY 'I WISH' !!!!

[atreideslioness]

I am willing to NPC the goblin hordes! I want to be the Truth/Lies doors! YOU WISH TO BE A BITING FAIRY!!!

Re: SHE DID NOT SAY 'I WISH' !!!!

[therewaslife]

I can always NPC where needed when I'm not playing some other dude who might be important to things.

RESEARCH WARRIORS!

[atreideslioness]

So we can RNG some clues and have a Special Collections adventure! Please don't feed the books...

Re: RESEARCH WARRIORS!

[trigons_child]

If Raven doesn't make Team Abduction, sign her up for Team Research.

FINALE TEAMS

[atreideslioness]

Put yourselves at the mercy of the RNG!

DISTRACTION TEAM(S)

[atreideslioness]

For those that want to commit wanton violence upon goblin kind during the Finale! The distraction teams get to deal with things like the lying doors and marauding goblins, and EVERYONE has to deal with the little gnome-thing moving any markers they make around.

QUESTIONS

[atreideslioness]

We're sure you have them!

Re: QUESTIONS

[trigons_child]

How are you defining "wished away"?

OOC

[atreideslioness]

The way forward is sometimes the way back.
