To the planning-mobile!

Further OOC plotting, because we don't need to clog up other people's inboxes with this.

Recap: repeated trips to the Lost and Found Office, then a trip to Zanaris and somehow, eventually, getting back to Milliways.

K. ummm.

What else where we supposed to do?

[seat_five_girl]

Mostly I'm concerned about how to get Ako back to the bar.
And if there's anything you have thoughts on with this. Stuff with scale, things like that.

[death_gone_mad]

Ah, right, exit strategy. Well, from my understanding, Zanaris is quite Milliwaysish in it's connectedness to other universes except that a society grew up ther instead of just a bar. There's even the danger of randomly turning into a toad or sheep!

Ako's arrival could signal to the fairies and other denizens of Zanaris that their connections to Milliways are on the fritz. But don't worry, fairies (at least the Zanaris fairies) know how to build/magic together interdimensional teleporters.

[seat_five_girl]

If Milliways didn't have the restriction on OCs we'd probably be closer to managing it. That aside, this sounds promising. Do it up as a set of fic-style OOMs, or threaded do you think?

[death_gone_mad]

yeah, it pretty much has to be an OOM. I like threaded, but hmmm, I suppose the trips though the lost and found office are pretty much dialog free. Those wouldn't work with threaded style OOMs, plus ficstyle allows for more discription freedom. But the venture through Zanaris could be threaded.

How about that? A few rounds of fic OOMs of Ako going "Where the heck am I?" and playing pick the odd one out, then a threaded OOM in Zanaris?

~One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong.~

*cough* Moving on!

A conversation with Fairy Fixit would seem to be indicated. Any thoughts on how to handle the reward from the Lost and Found? Drop it completely as as a scale sort of issue, or what?

[not_my_sandbox]

Hmmm... well, I can see the problem if she gets the kind of awards the Lost and Found office shells out nowadays. But I kind of like the idea behind the awards it used to give. IOU notes for blank runestone which Ako probably not have any use for, or a bunch of air and law runes. Ako might have a use for a stack of air runes but the law runes, maybe not so much. Maybe she can feed them to Bar because of front door magic or whatever and YAY positive bar tab!

It is up to you, really, and whether or not you feel Ako can never have magic because of plot or Ako already has too much otherworldy junk stored up in her room. :P

I need to clean this icon up.

[seat_five_girl]

In either three, eight or nine days (there's timey-wimeyness at work hence a rather different range of dates than usual) after Ako gets back in canon I'm giving the original plot line a good sharp kick anyway.

"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads."

[death_gone_mad]

Oh, I sympathise. I just got rehired by one of my former employers and I am in the process of getting used to the big chunck of time my job just ate.

AHAHAHA yay, Negi isn't going to be the only magic use--- you know, I don't know enough about Negima! to say anything about that sort of thing.

[seat_five_girl]

Negima! canon is that anyone can learn to use magic. Most people are just very, very bad at it no matter how much they practice and study.

Like anyone can learn karate, but only a very few people are anywhere in the neighbourhood of Bruce Lee when it comes to martial arts.

But! Cheating her way around that comes after most of the festival arc. And possibly after a tragic scene where she goes back to her timeline to unravel with it before a slightly earlier version comes to/back to the bar.
