A plague of dolls

[melomancer]

I have an idea for a bar plot that comes from our shared canon so I thought I'd let you guys know my thoughts.

So, when Katya-mun and I were threading Anton's past, we were supposed to have used that creepy doll from the movie but I spaced on it. Thus it didn't happen, which is sad cause that doll is super creepy. Poor doll. (there's a gif of the doll in this link to my journal)

What to do? What if Anton is involved with another witch case between stories 1 & 2 from the Night Watch book and the doll follows him into Milliways? It could make it way to the lost and found box and infect other toys as well, which could lead to a fun creepy bar wide plot. I don't think the dolls should do much more that be creepy and will be easy to take care once the problem is identified.

So what do you think? I know when I posted the idea on my personal journal at least two other muns seemed interested. Oh and June is when I am thinking of starting it and maybe having it last a week?

I'm thinking this would be best. Also, how did we forget the doll? This is Sad and Tragic, and clearly the doll needs to retaliate. It's the only honorable thing left to do.

The only real question then is if Katya and Anton should be able to just disenchant the lot or have to take them out individually?

My money is on doll-by-doll elimination. And maybe one escapes into the dark corners of Milliways, to plot its revenge at a later date...

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Also, for the sake of the plot, I've made a journal for the doll. Wish I had been more imaginative with the name but oh well.

So just touching base to see if you are good for doll hunting at the end of this week. I am back from vacation and thinking of starting things tomorrow.

My loose plan is Monday, Anton comes in from the wrap of a case and the doll sneaks in.

Wednesday Anton returns, worried something slipped through with him before. He confirms something of the witches followed him in and then leaves a note for Katya and security.

Friday, he and Katya go hunting to wrap the plot up over the weekend.

Bring it on - it's actually awesome timing - I have four days off this week, in between everything else.

[melomancer]

Sweet. And if you want Katya to suspect something is up before Anton leaves the note, feel free to have her start hunting.

[melomancer]

Sweet! Though I don't think Anton won't leave a note for Security. It occurs to me he would be used to working about police and such and would see this as a Nightwatch issue, which of course could lead to him getting in trouble with Security. MWhahahah.

When you are able, I've posted the wrap up for the creepy doll plot here.

No rush on my end as I've got to go run some errands for the family. Funny how days off turn into errand days. ;P

Oh, and Anton would like me to point out that Katya is lucky he didn't see her being startled by a human in the rafters. :-)
