OOC -- Prompt/RP tags/breaking up universes

This is mostly for my own clarification in my head, but also to explain the tags I'll be using.

Verse: 01 -- RoTM, mostly -- Jack/Adam -- actually working on trying to make things work, which, for once, means a struggle for both of them to be monogamous. Post-canon--Jack dug him up. Adam's in Cardiff. I'm trying to keep him away from things at Torchwood and out of trouble for a bit, but people are welcome to interact and poke at him or reach out or whatever. Hiro seems to be encouraging this as good for Adam, which is confusing Adam lots and lots. *pets him*

Verse: 02 -- Adam/Elle -- AU 'verse where Elle has been working with Adam all along. Not sure where they'll settle, if anywhere. Post canon -- Elle dug him up. Somewhat on the run, then, from both Company and anyone else looking for them. Same thing--feel free to interact with him or [livejournal.com profile] not_myfirstday, but know this one's bending canon a bit more than even the xovers. Played out through various communities they're in together.

Verse: 03 -- (TM?) -- Adam/Hiro -- Because it's canon, dammit, and needs to be fully explored in all it's angst and love/hate dichotomies, and because Adam is rather obsessed in every version, so he needs one just for them. Still need to work out how he's not in coffin. *grins at Hiro!mun*

Verse: Open -- Anything not tagged specifically as one of the above three universes. All memes/random posts will fall into this category.

Most prompts will likely be canonical and thus tagged with "verse: open" as well if anyone wants to RP off of them, but if they pertain to specific RP in a specific verse I'll tag them as such so it's clear in case people have questions. If a TM prompt, for instance, inspires an Adam/Jack prompt, even though Jack isn't in TM, I don't want to constrain RP to "community" 'verses, because there's so much cross over of muses doing different things, but Adam has already quite clearly split himself into pieces here, and I need some sort of system for keeping track.

Aww, that's not going to be a good day.

[identity profile] changehistory.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
No. Or not a good year. For anyone.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
No. I'm sure Adam will make a lot of people feel just as bad as he does.

Probably more like the universe. I don't think Hiro's going to come back to the 21st century to die.

Oh dear. Then, yes. The universe should fear.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
He'll definitely need Jack around at that point.

[identity profile] changehistory.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, very much so. If anyone's going to survive it.

[identity profile] changehistory.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
*snerk* Well, there's that. He might be VERY upset, though.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes. I would think so. After all, he's always trying to prevent these things.

[identity profile] changehistory.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
I worry for them for that. lol. *darts off to rehearsal*

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there is going to be a bit of strain over those types of things.

Have fun! *waves you off*

Jack is in for much headdesking in his future.

Good! Glad to hear it.

It's going to see how well he manages to deal with the darkness in Adam. Because no matter how long they're together, he's never going to tame those impulses of Adam's. Since Adam's already got 250+ years on him, he's a bit more entrenched in his mind set than Jack might be. Also, Jack's not from the 17th century, but in a future where a lot more things are accepted and not repressed. Whether or not Adam bought into the religious mores of his time, he was still been exposed to it at a formative age. Kipling was right about the fact that if you gave him a child from ages infant - 5, they'd hold his beliefs. (I think it's Kipling.) So, at the start there's going to be a basic belief system that's going to be in conflict. Jack's pretty much in for the same kind of thing that Hiro's in for in the recreating_eden group.

No, he really won't. Adam's been broken and dark for a long, long time. He can temper them, perhaps--as can Hiro in Eden--but he won't ever get rid of them. That's one of the things I wanted to play with in the future fic, because he'll be okay for a while, then it'll flare up again when things get to their breaking point. And growing up in such a restrictive society, being abandoned by his father so young and living basically in a room off the streets....all of it mixes and mingles and he's got perspective no one else can quite grasp or get to to fix.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, since he has no contemporaries (except possibly in the HL bunch), no one can really understand his mindset. The future fic should be much fun...

[identity profile] changehistory.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yup--unless you cross him over, or give him some sort of reconciliation with Peter--he's alone forever. Has been, will be, etc. So no one ever can quite get him fully. He was trying to tell Angela that today, but I'm not sure he made his point.

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, where was this discussion?

[identity profile] powered-otaku.livejournal.com 2007-12-14 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Not hat this surprises me.

I have to say the Angela is great.
