Character name: Daniel Arlington General ideas or plans for the month: It's Danny's first end-of-cycle event, here we gooooooo
Becca and I have already discussed having Danny help with Pal's CSI: Wellstone Manor investigation, so that's definitely happening, I'm excited. Still trying to figure out his AU double (see below for more), but once that gets sorted there will probably be shenanigans. Otherwise, he's here for whatever horrible nonsense the month brings!
AU ideas: Originally, I had been banking on these doubles being the same as previous evil double iterations, so the AU thing threw me for a loop! That said, even though it's possible to bring Darlington an Original Flavor double even for this, I think I'm going to move my original plans down the road a bit for extra trauma fun later on.
As of now, I'm kicking around a couple new AU ideas, feedback absolutely appreciated:
Horrible Teen Danny: Darlington at seventeen, weary and cynical and been on his own too long, the lost prince of a crumbling manor. This version of him lost his belief in magic and something beyond the dull, everyday grind of real life; maybe he made the elixir he makes in canon and it didn't work, maybe he never thought to make it at all. If this kid shows up, he'll be moping around the manor, probably trying to wreck Danny's good name in some way and/or just generally being insufferable. Probably pretty easy to kill, though, if that's your jam.
Deal with the Devil Darlington: Actually different from our current Secret Demon Darlington! There's a point in Hell Bent where each of our main characters get shown a version of what their lives could become if one of them agrees to remain in Hell: is it real? is it not? no one knows! This Darlington is older and has finally achieved his ultimate goal of knowing everything, understanding all of the world's mysteries, magic in his blood and power in his hands. He also basically has psychometric powers--can touch a book and absorb its contents, view the scope of someone's life by holding their hand, can see the history of an object in an instant. May be pretty formidable if he shows up, but also wildly fun to play with and might be good to involve in whatever horribleness other folks have planned with their doubles.
He's With the Band: The version of Darlington that's actually in a band with some UConn guys (which in canon is the excuse he uses on his freshman roommates to explain why he's out so late every week doing stuff with Lethe). Not actually considering this one, except for the sheer hilarity of it. He would come in knowing all the instruments our Darlington doesn't remember he's good at, though, which might be good for entertainment when everyone's trapped together and getting cabin fever. Definitely easy to kill, and if he tries to get a jam band together, you may want to.
Event ideas: This will all depend a lot on what kind of double I end up going with, but ideally I'd like Darlington to survive through the end of the cycle. As of now, he's here to contribute to people's plans--let's talk and see what comes of it.
Are you planning to create a log this month? Leaning towards no and just tagging around, but that may change!
