Fail apologies and a canon bump
Hello peeps!
Firstly I just wanted to apologize for being a fail tagger. The onboard network card on my computer committed seppuku about a week ago, and after several days of tearing my hair out trying to fix it I have up and ordered a new network card, which should be in tomorrow. In the meantime I've been on my husband's shitty computer with dodgy internet, so I really haven't been able to tag or keep up with posts. I'm so sorry! If no one is averse to backtagging I'll get on it and soon as my computer is back on the interwebs and we can tie up loose ends.
This really only affects Mohinder, Sweets, Kutner, Karen, and Peter, I think.
Also! Sometime this week Rory will be getting a mod-approved canon quick-bump, to the end of Series 5, Episode 12 (The Pandorica Opens). The thing is, I need a volunteer to rough Rory up: hurt him (accidentally or on purpose), zonk him out, put him under a spell, whatever. He just needs to be unconscious for about a day so his brain can take a little vacation and come back all full of horrific knowledge (and a body change) from back home. Here's what his deal is:
Rory's current canon point is just post episode 6 (Vampires of Venice), so he's just joined the TARDIS crew on invitation from Amy and the Doctor. So he's getting 6 episodes of new canon stuffed into his brain, and it's not pretty. Here's the Reader's Digest version (I hope):
- He gets sent to a dreamworld where he dies (disintegrated by some green alien breath-cloud shit). Since it was just a dream though, he's still alive in real life.
- ... Which doesn't last long. Two episodes later he dies for real taking a bullet (laser) to the chest meant for the Doctor, and is subsequently absorbed by that bastard of a Crack in Time that's been following Amy around all season. His entire existence is promptly erased from history and Amy forgets he ever lived. The Doctor, however, does not forget and is burdened with the memory of knowing that Rory died because he got too curious, and that Amy no longer remembers the love of her life. The only thing left of Rory is the engagement ring he bought for Amy, which curiously remained behind on the TARDIS.
- Ohhh but it doesn't end there. Two episodes after that Rory reappears in Britain in 102 AD, having apparently been miraculously resurrected as a Roman centurion. He doesn't know how it happened. "I died, and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting." Amy still doesn't remember him.
- ... Except he's not really a Roman. He's a killer robot (Auton) constructed from Amy's memories and part of a trap to lure the Doctor to his doom. Except, being Rory (and having been so close to Amy, and Amy being special because of that crack in her wall), Auton!Rory is more human than robot, and tries to fight his programming once he's activated. Except it doesn't work, and he ends up shooting Amy dead right after she finally remembers him.
So, yeah, lots of wangst. Real Rory is still dead, and he's just a plastic replica. And since he's a plastic robot with a gun in his hand at the canon point he's being bumped to, he'll now be a plastic robot with a gun in his hand in Paradisa. Blimey!
So uh ... yeah. I type too damn much. Any volunteers to knock Rory out?

INORITE? I was on the verge of an ulcer all season worrying about him!

So not only does the clinic have a new staff member ... it has security as well? ORZ.

Also, Morris is seriously going to throw in the towel when he finds this out. DUDE KNOWS 21ST CENTURY MEDICINE *AND* HE'S A FUCKING KILLER ROBOT? Morris can't win!
no subject
Poor Morris LMAO. Just remember ... Sweet, mild-mannered, slightly awkward one-man killing machine. I think they could get on fabulously. I imagine Rory will be in denial over the fact he has a gun in his hand.

Were you planning to do the canon update in time for the horror event?
no subject
SO.
On the whole Rory is ... okay. He's got Amy here and they've made their peace with one another, which is great, but he's a bit insecure by default so he's still got some latent issues with things. Namely, the fact that back home (and just before he came to Para) he found out that Amy had basically run away from home with her childhood imaginary friend (the Doctor) on the night before their wedding without telling him, and even though she said she was going to come back, he didn't really believe her. Still doesn't. That's probably because right before the Doctor came to get Rory, Amy tried to jump his bones. (That's WHY the Doctor came to get Rory ... to try and set her priorities straight.)
So tl;dr he's still hurting on the inside over essentially being left at the altar, and feeling like he couldn't possibly compete with the Doctor's awesomesauce for Amy's affections. So Lil' Slugger can bash the shit out of him over that.
And yeah, this needs to get done before Saturday. D: I was thinking either we could do one of those joint posts--the type where the noise of the assault can be heard over the journals or whatever--or I can just do a post with Rory brooding a bit out in the castle and Slugger can happen across him?
On second thought might be easier for me to just post ... what do you think?
no subject
Thanks a ton for the overview! It put a lot into perspective for me. I think we can do this. A post or journal entry is fine with me, though you could be right about the post being easier. Rory being paranoid over Amy and The Doctor works well. He could be brooding alone somewhere or maybe even in bed having a bad dream about them. Lil' Slugger is capable of finding distressed people any time and anywhere.
You can go ahead and make a post if you want. I'll keep an eye out for it and jump in as soon as I see it. I don't think it'll take very long to finish so we still have lots of time before Saturday.
no subject
(Also, fair warning--Amy's asleep in the bed next to him, as you'll see, and will probably wake up as soon as she realizes Rory's getting pummeled. Shrieky times will ensue!)

I was rolling with laughter at your tag, you made it Slugger sound creepy as fuck. Also I laughed because Slugger got him across the chest first. I was all, "talk about --OOF!" THIS IS AWESOME. \o/ And I'm glad you're amused by Amy ... Amy-mun is all skdfhskgh LMAO.

Actually though, it's because Rory's one of the people going berserk this weekend and I needed to get him to a rather bad place emotionally and/or physically, and I couldn't think of anything more traumatic for him than to be updated to that particular canon point.
Plus once Fudgey said since he's a robot at that point he'd be a robot here in Para, the opportunity was too good to pass up! :D

LMAO yeah, I bet the Doctor would be all "don't cry, emo Rory, she's not really dead. Though you sure did try your damndest."
You think the Doctor would try to reassure him of the truth, or not spoil it? Because Rory's going to be pretty damn upset and will probably pull the martyr card with Amy ("We should break up. It's not you, it's me. No really, it's me. I'M A THING I'LL KILL YOU JUST GO" or some ridiculous wansgty shit like that XD).
