Milliways plot: the Charlie has come unstuck from time plot

[bloodyrockgod]

Only not quite, that's just a good line from one of my favorite books.

I'm going ahead with the "Charlie needs to get his timelines in order" plot that I've mentioned to a few people, and I'm looking for participants: to help or hinder, make things more difficult or help him find a solution.

What the basic idea is, is that Milliways-Charlie is caught between a reality where he died and stayed dead (the Purgatory plot back in January, where Bartleby removed him and Claire from the island and thus from linear time) and the reality where he was saved by Jack. It's fudging what we played then a little bit, but I think it's allowable.

Every time he's gone back to the island since January he hasn't interacted with any of the island's living residents: it's been either the people who've come with him or the spirits of the island, whoever/whatever they might be. What I need to do, then, is find a way for Charlie to go back again to the moment of death, relive the hanging, and be restored to canon-time.

Solving this will probably require magic of some kind, though at the moment I'm open to ideas of who and how. I want to have the plot resolved when Lost Season 2 premieres on September 21st, so there is a time constraint.

I'm also asking anyone who sleeps near or with him to notice he's restless, talking in his sleep, and having bad dreams; and that anyone who interacts with him, particualarly Losties except for Claire who's from the same timeline essentially, to notice that his memories are jumbled. He's always been a bit forgetful (because the mun is, and we can also blame the drugs) but it's only going to get worse.

So. Anyone who'd like to participate, please comment. Ideas are welcome. Madness is expected.

I'd like to play! OOO OOO, PICK ME!

Richard has a good memory, and will probably notice if Charlie starts mixing things up. Especially if starts calling his son Aaron.

*raises hand* of course I'm in.

Even if it means playing David more than I have :P

You know Liam's there.

[rapunze11e.livejournal.com]

Dude. So in.

*signs Faith up under the category of 'sleeps near or with him'*

:D

Ooh, ooh! Tim would be more then willing to assist in the magic part. He's been working on correcting his own timeline due to his removal from it, so would be more then eager to help someone else fix thiers.

[vivien]

Brilliant!

Tom would be eager to assist, but what with my scaled down playing, and his nervousness around any kind of mucking about with time, Tim would be a much better magical candidate ;)

However, maybe Tom can at least chat with him about it ;)

*snugs*

Tim is always eager for assitance.

*offers Eris to be tricksy, and/or whatever*

I need to play her more anyway. And plots are love. Even though I suck at coming up with my own.

... :D!

[varadia]

I can offer Raven, if you like, even if it's just to muddy the waters and be cryptic.

*g*

Um. You can have Mercutio for meaningless sex? *snickers* This looks like a cool plot.

[bloodyrockgod]

Charlie does like his sex meaningless . . . ;)

[surexit.livejournal.com]

Well, Merc at your service then. *snugs Charlie*

Of course 'Suti will notice, and help, and whatnot. Also, he's magical. Very much so. So whatever magic is needed, he can probably provide it.

Plus, I've watched 'Lost' by now (even if season 1 is still running here; the episode where Claire was returned aired this Monday) and am less 'Nice people, strange canon' about it all.

You know I'm in. :D
