Okay, so it's not milliways_bar. It's stll LJ RP.

I participate in theatrical_muse, which is more of a writing community than an RP one. Once a week, a challenge is issued, and everyone has to write around 150-250 words on that topic. The thing is, they have to do so in the voice of a character that's been approved by the mods. Virtually all of these characters are fannish- it ranges all over the place, from Wakko Warner to the staff of the Bartlett administration to Neo to Loki Himself. A few are original. But the point of the place is the challenges; any RP that happens is sort of a sideline. Miss three challenges in a row and unless you have a really good reason, they'll ask you to step down from the community.

I have two muses there, John Constantine and Sergeant Preston. Aside from the amazing amount of mental exercise one gets by flipping from one of those characters to the other, it's resulted in a lot of neat RP. The Sergeant, for example, has made friends with the Cheshire Cat- and in the process has met Na'Toth, Vir, and several other people from Babylon 5. (I figure he can handle a couple of space aliens, so long as they're polite. He's dealt with killer monster death mermaids, reasonably polite if somewhat nekkid mermaids, and the talking animals of Oz.) John Constantine, meanwhile, is being played as of his time in Hellblazer: Hogwarts. Which has led to some extremely peculiar situations, including the current one: one of the Endless has just turned up in his quarters at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and after a bit of chatting, has just asked if John wants any help teaching.

This is gonna be fun.

Del and John in the same classroom?

Holy Mother of Pearl.

I'm pretty sure that in the universe of Theatrical Muse, John experienced a peculiar side effect of The Other flinging him through worlds. He no longer attracts horrible bad luck to everyone who gets close to him... he just acts as a magnet for every last particle of fucking WEIRD for a hundred miles.

Heh. James has that talent. It's why he keeps getting these strange things happening to him - side effect of the spell that keeps his family from being able to find him and rain destructive horrific magics on him.

Being a Weirdness Magnet has to be better that being Doomed to Get My Friends Killed and/or Damned type.

But really, I want to see Del's reaction to Dumbledore. If she likes him, the Order is screwed...

Pull the beard! Pull the beard! Traffic cone hats for steering the bats, only it's owls instead, all the bats are dead.

Hmm, very cool idea! :)

I still wish you'd come play at Milliways.

*pouts*

[camwyn]

But who would I play? You've already got a Constantine, the Sergeant is completely unsuited to RP in bars, Finrod Felagund (who I just started playing at New Menegroth) ... well... Finrod might work, although I don't know how well...

Oh, and btw- not only do I have Hero on DVD, but also Infernal Affairs, which just came out in the States on the big screen. When is good?

How do you get onto Theatrical Muse? I can't seem to get in contact with anyone.

[camwyn]

I'd go to http://muse.mythicdesigns.net/welcome.html first, then find the bit where they talk about different mods for different fandoms and locate the appropriate one to pester. That's how I did it, anyway.

Now if the folks at Milliways just get around to my application there, that'd be great...
