[OOC: because I apparently can't make IC entries anymore, plotting post for my own reference, etc]
Special 1: The Next Doctor
Date of play in DDD: 25th December 2009
Any changes?: Pretty much playing this one straight - Lockon may or may not be around? MIRI MY DEAR/GUNDAM CAST HELP ME OUT HERE.
Significant events: Not really, just an excuse to save London from giant evil cybermen, all good fun 8Db
Around February/March time: an unspecified adventure with River Song which I will plot out later after rewatching the Library eps.
Special 2: Planet of the Dead
Date of play in DDD: 4th April (Easter) 2010
Any changes?: Playing it straight - I assume Lockon will be back with the guntards then but will need to consult cast. Either way not much would change if he was there.
Significant events: YOUR SONG IS ENDING SOON DOCTOR, IT IS RETURNING OUT OF THE DARK, AND HE WILL KNOCK 4 TIMES. Hoshi Imma die soon DDD:
Ways of playing out: video post (from inside the bus asking how to fix it lmao), voice recording of the phone convo with Malcolm, text post after the fact (omitting the prophecy), SOMETHING that hints at the prophecy being made so people who saw the What Is To Come get the hint. :|b
Around May/June time: unspecified River Song adventure number 2
... August/September, unspecified River Song adventure number 3?
Special 3: The Waters of Mars
Date of play in DDD: November 21st 2010
Any changes?: May have to tweak things slightly - events in this one turned out as they did because of a lot of things that we've kind of renovated via the medium of character development in DDD, ie, Donna, lack of companions/moral compasses etc. End result maybe that Ten doesn't go quite so batshit? BUT THAT'S IMPORTANT TO THE PLOT sob idek anymore D: OH THANK THE LORD THE BATSHIT WAS TEMPORARY. -- IDEA: rescuing Lockon as the precedent? Also due to recent events, the COE plot being a fixed event and Ten being able to do nothing about it but watch because lol community is pushing him over the edge...
Significant events: Ten's mind temporarily snaps (or comes PDC to doing so :|;;) and he goes temporarily mad on power, fucks up the timestream/multiverse royally by breaking the bloody Laws of Time. CLOISTER BELL IS RINGING, THIS IS NEVER A GOOD SIGN.
Ways of playing out: live website feed? video/voice post? Ten-only RL?
SOMETIME IN BETWEEN THESE TWO: oh my god he married Bess and apparently banged her, what. NOW WE KNOW WHAT HE DID TO PISS HER OFF but dear God Doctor, England is gonna murder you. :'D Also, lots of avoiding my death going on, derp. ... and I can totally see one of the eps he describes to the Ood being Unspecified River Song Adventure Number 4.
Special 4/5: The End of Time
Date of play in DDD: Teeeentatively putting this at Christmas 2010. LOL WHAT A CHRISTMAS PRESENT AMIRITE.
Any changes?:
- Donna still has her memories/has been fixed by DDD canon and is just living at home to take care of her family for now. Solution: Ten just didn't tell her because he didn't want any of his friends involved? Wilf is just a nosy bugger 8|
- Master is already alive by DDD canon. Solution: ... either we retcon DDD canon, OR the Master goes to Earth and carries out his plan in a relatively more sane manner with no resurrection? Wait and see for part two for this bit. -- on reflection we may have to go the route of "the Master died again/vanished into the ether after too much time away from DDD which resurrected him the first time, allowing them to bring him back all crazy-like in the ep". Also provides for moar brain-break for Ten, hurr hurr hurr.
- The regeneration. Solution: We kill him and then bring him back somehow. 8D Yes, this will require epic planning, but this is DDD. WE CAN DO IT SOMEHOW.
Significant events: The Time Lords are back somehow; the Master turns the human race into the Master race; the end of time(?); the regeneration
Way of playing out?: RLs with Wilf (assuming Tyr gets in with him), video posts (because you know the Master wants to gloat), voice posts.
Aftermath? -- the Totally Heartbreaking Final RL Where He Visits Everyone Before Regenerating. Also the bringing him back from the dead plan, yus.
