So...I've got a new story idea.
I'm not sure if/when I'll get around to this, but I'm assuming I'll write it at some point. That point may not be soon - hell, it may be months before I get round to writing this - but it'll come eventually. I think. If only 'cause it'll include a good number of the Legendary characters. And that's unusual for me, since I usually don't dream up plots involving large casts.![[Image: wink.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif)
It's a fairly simple idea. I don't wanna give too much away...
...but I'm gonna give a vague outline of the scenario, 'cause there's some questions I need to ask you folks about. For input, and so on. There's details I need to settle, and it's hard when I don't, y'know, know all the characters involved personally.
So. Most of the Legendary is recalled to base on priority alert. Well, actually it's a complete SG recall, but things being what they are, not everyone arrives at the same time. As people start to port in, well, it seems nobody has any idea what's going on. Until Evangelia arrives, and everyone starts to question her...then it turns out...she's clueless too.
Before Lora'Lai can check the comm system to see if they've been pranked or something...
...wham.
Some time later, everyone slowly comes to, emerging from various states of unconsciousness. They're still in the SG base...except...it isn't the same base. The power's out, the place looks abandoned...like it's been abandoned for some time...
And back in Paragon City, the remaining members of the Legendary arrive on the scene...to find their colleagues gone.
'cause...yeah. They've been pranked, alright. Pranked across space-time.
(mild spoiler, it's not time travel we're dealing with, but alternate dimensions)
Now, I'm figuring the Infamous is responsible for this. I'm looking at Mace Mac Hine, really - but the question is, would he really do something that could fatally endanger his siblings? I'm not quite sure what his deal is, and how far he's fallen out with the family. 'course, it's entirely possible he didn't know something this drastic was gonna happen. Or his collaborators didn't tell HIM everything...and certain strife among the ranks as a result.
The other questions...
For the characters stranded in another dimension, in the wrecked base...I expect, under Eva's leadership, the group'd do two things - one, investigate and secure the ruined base, and two, send out scouting parties.
(I imagine it'd be a ruined Boomtown-ish section of city outside)
Which begs the question...where IS the Legendary base supposed to be, anyway? Is it underground? In a building somewhere?
The "Your OTHER Skills" thread I had going...was pretty helpful for me, in forming a general idea of who'd be good for such things. The techies would be useful for securing the base...I'm drawing more of a blank on who they'd send out as intelligence-gathering parties, though, into the ruined city area outside. Wide Receiver and Syndesis spring to mind, because they're speedsters. Fast land scouts. A stealth party, as well...QB Kitsune, with all that kunoichi stuff (and the fact she'd be scared stiff out there)...and who? Not Gil, I have plans for Gil. Perhaps a couple of fliers, for an aerial sweep. Who'd be good at that? Bella, perhaps, based on sheer field experience...?
Any suggestions with regards to things your characters would do in such a scenario? For intelligence out there, or trying to discover what happened from the base computers, or trying to get the facility operational again.
Then there's the other half of the Legendary, mind - everyone who wasn't caught in the event, everyone who hadn't yet arrived in-base before the transition. They'll probably be trying to figure out just what happened to their friends, and...eventually will be over on Peregrine Island yelling at Portal Corp scientists, because we need to use one of your gateways NOW...
So that's another angle. There's gonna be folks investigating the mystery back in Paragon. I'm looking at Gil, Thibor and the IST crew, maybe Fallgone (though I'm not entirely sure how Fallgone's speech patterns run). Morganni's alluded that Alexis and Mirami are dimensional travellers...do they have their own independent means to jump worlds? If so, they're almost certainly gonna HAVE to be in the "stay home" crew, unless there's something in the "lost dimension" blocking 'em...in any case, what kind of expertise in that field would they have?
For that matter, who else has experience with alternate worlds? Bella, Syndesis, and Palindrone have probably done a lot of portal-hopping, at their security level...Looney's travelling isn't precisely under his own control, but...
(Yes, I have a lot of questions. o_o)
