House MD Big Plot!

[Lisa Cuddy]

I think it’s about time the House MD section, since it is the most active section, had a plot of its own. The Costume Gala is fun, but that’s for the Crossover, and I think each section, once they’re gotten active enough, should have their own ‘big’ board. One that everyone can join.

But I have no idea what people might want to do. So I’m digging. Hahaha.

What are you people interested in? I love RPing crazy shit. That’s why I come up with stuff like ‘House MD in Hawaii!’ and ‘Costume Gala!’ as well as doing RPs like ‘Cuddy’s Been Stabbed!’ and ‘Holy Crap, That Guy’s a Psycho!’ (Otherwise known as ‘Mack the Knife, here, or ‘Low Notes’ over on Obviamire.)

I really love branching out, and trying new things. Just ask Hawky! -shifty eyes-

Here are a couple of my random ideas, none of which I’m particularly attached to or have even really thought about, but maybe they’ll help get your creative juices flowing? It’s mostly just stuff I’ve seen elsewhere, or inspiration coming from song lyrics.

Epidemic – if you belonged to Obviamire, you know how this works. Of course I’d change it up quite a bit from there.

Out-of-Hospital Emergency – like a giant car crash or some other accident that people are involved in/are passing by and help out with.

Building Dynamics Between Random Characters – Kind of like what Hawky and I are doing in the Freeplay section. Of course, not all about dates and physical relationships. Hahaha. Just RPs that explore two characters interacting that the show doesn’t really give us a lot of. Like Cameron and Cuddy, or Foreman and… anyone? Of course… I’d need a Foreman. Still, you get the idea… right?

Uhmmm… I have… no other ideas. Oh, but look, here’s something Unifilar said that I bet she didn’t realized I saved!

[21:50] -screen name protected-: Hm...Cuddy is really sick and stuff but is still at work, and House and everyone keeps on wanting to make her go home...


Come on, guys! Give me some ideas! I know mine are crap, so expand, divulge and let’s get something AWESOME going!

[Robert Chase]

I'm completely open to trying anything new too, so anything that anyone would possibly come up with should be awesome. Bare in mind I'm pretty unoriginal and bad at coming up with ideas - but I'm great at going along with plots and posting and thinking of things for me, personally, to do! Hah.

Anyway, yeah, that thread in the Freeplay section is really a lot of fun so anyone let me know if you'd like to do another like that! ^^

*throws Wicked a few chickens to replace my apparent lack of ideas* They'll give you golden eggs! *shifty eyes* Or...golden...something else...

[Stacy Warner]

Hm. I kinda had an idea. We could have some random person (probably someone makes up, or something) be standing at the edge of the hospital, ready to jump. Y'know, a suicide threat, and everyone has their own reasons to get involved, y'know? Maybe someone could've known, someone could be treating him, House could just call him an idiot...I dunno.

Yeah, I'm not the best either, Hawky.

[Allison Cameron]

Shamelessly steal from other people's plots.

Bomb scares are intense. Like Greys. That was a cool bomb scare. (Wow, I sound like I'm completely messed up, but you know what I mean.) Or a natural/manmade disaster, like....well, I live in New Jersey, and the worst we get is hurricanes and Nor'Easters. There could be a huge snowstorm that knocks out a lot of power in the hospital.

Um...a kid who get's rejected from Princeton could go crazy and start shooting up people....a ship could crash....the hospital could win a 'Most Diagnosis-es In A Billing Period' and get a trip to Aruba...

Yeah. Maybe something like that.

[Lisa Cuddy]

Yeah, well, I'm not sure how feasible a ship crashing would be, and they're already in Hawaii for being awesome, so as far as 'stealing from other people's plots' go, it would be better not... to steal... from here. Hahahahahahahahaha.

That suicide plot sounds like more talking than anything else, and if there's one thing I don't want the Big Plot to be, it's 'stand around and talk'. I don't know. I think it would be more fun to be crazy active and totally random. Not dramatic, if people don't like it, but... interesting. Lol.

I am so out of it right now.

The snowstorm idea, however, has really got me thinking. Melikes.

Hahah, thanks, Hawky. -thumbs up-

[Gregory House]

I've seen the snowstorm idea done before, but it was done by someone who couldn't write themself a decent note to get out of gym class. So I'd really love to see how good writers (that'd be us) handle it.

Um. I'm really bad at thinking of plots. All I can think of is stuff that doesn't make sense...like House being put in charge of the day care part of the hopsital (or the part that just has a lot of kids) for a while, or something. I also like the car crash idea, that sounds cool and different.

[Lisa Cuddy]

Yeah, I know. It's not good, having a site full of people that can't think up plots. -shifty eyes-

GO US!

Team Awesome should have this handled.

Yeah, I'm interested in something chaotic. Like a car crash, or handling the snow storm, or something. Hahaha.

[Allison Cameron]

Well, by stealing, I mean shamelessly-rip-off-a-Greys-Anatomy-plot-because-they-won't-catch-us. But stealing is just so much shorter.

Still, thinking up a slightly more original one is probably better. And for the snow storm, we do get relatively powerful hurricanes once a year, so it wouldn't be unheard of for a hurricane or other rainy storm to knock stuff out. Though with a snow storm, it would make it so that patients couldn't be transported, and so everything would have to be done by hand. Intense.

As for the ship, New Jersey actually has some very busy port cities, and if a tanker or some other ship crashed, there would be a lot of damage and they would have to ship people out to all the hospitals in the area.

But, again, I like the storm better. I'm just in a semi-creative mood tonight.

[Lisa Cuddy]

Well, I know nothing of ships or ports, so I guess if we were to do something like that you'd be the one to head the disaster. -shifty eyes-

But I'm open!

Keep the ideas coming, my friends!

[Robert Chase]

Well...we could always do one of those fun crazy-ass random plots about a killer in the hospital...something similar to the end of season 2, only something that could somehow involve all of the characters. Actually, I do have a few ideas on this one, but I have yet to decide if the idea is kind of interesting or totally lame and overdone, so...haha, let me know what you all think before I waste any of my precious little mental power on it. *grin*

[Stacy Warner]

I like the snowstorm one [: It involves just about every soul on the House side of the board, and keeps everyone pretty busy.

I vote for the snowstorm idea.

[Lisa Cuddy]

Your vote is recorded!

Hawky, elaborate! Or PM me? (Or one of the various other ways we communicate).

[Robert Chase]

Done! And I kind of like my idea more now that we're talking about it. Heh.

[Lisa Cuddy]

Haha, yes! I'm digging it too.

[Robert Chase]

In case anyone wants to know what Wicked and I have been talking about about the plot...Read this clip from our convo and tell us what you think!

CarpetBurnWicked: So, like I said on the Plot Discussion thread, what have you got in mind?
mtantalus22: Oh
mtantalus22: *totally missed that you replied*
mtantalus22: lmao
CarpetBurnWicked: Lmao
CarpetBurnWicked: Yeeeaaah
mtantalus22: Well
mtantalus22: I was thinking that there could be another pissed off patient type
mtantalus22: Only
mtantalus22: It has to be more than that
CarpetBurnWicked: Yeah.
mtantalus22: Like, I was thinking maybe someone back from House's past meets up with a few different people, the likes of which would like to do something baad to the mains (Cuddy, Chase, House) and gather up a plot
mtantalus22: That has to do with guns and pain and angst
mtantalus22: lmao
CarpetBurnWicked: Tee hee, and who would play such a character?
mtantalus22: Meeeee
CarpetBurnWicked: I love this kind of stuff. I'm excited already...
mtantalus22: Ever since your Kevin-ness
mtantalus22: I've wanted ot
mtantalus22: to*
mtantalus22: Play someone evil/crazy
mtantalus22: lol
CarpetBurnWicked: It's SO much fun, in a totally weird and uncomfortable way.
CarpetBurnWicked: Hahahahaha.
CarpetBurnWicked: I'm glad! I miss playing Kevin. He was a fun one.
mtantalus22: Yeah
mtantalus22: I've done it before
CarpetBurnWicked: Ah! I'm excited! You start working on an intro!!!
mtantalus22: I've done reaaally dark RPs
mtantalus22: Well, it'd be easier (don't you think?) if there were more than one evil person? That way, say, my character can be all I WANT TO HURT HOUSE AND CUDDY and another can be all I WANT TO HURT CHASE AND CAMERON or something?
CarpetBurnWicked: Hah, I think Low Notes was getting to be the darkest one I've done, but I'm more than eager to do more.
CarpetBurnWicked: Okay!
mtantalus22: That was everyone is involved
mtantalus22: And I don't have to have my guy think of reasons to REALLY HATE House AND Cuddy AND Chase AND Cameron
mtantalus22: lol
CarpetBurnWicked: Two evil people is like two diagnosis: you don't see it coming, so SURPRISE.
CarpetBurnWicked: Lmao, that would be tough.
mtantalus22: Exactly
CarpetBurnWicked: That would be one BITTER guy
CarpetBurnWicked: "You, I hate you because you have an ACCENT"
mtantalus22: LMFAO
mtantalus22: So
mtantalus22: This means, obviously
mtantalus22: I'm going to ask yooooou........
CarpetBurnWicked: I will!
mtantalus22: YAY
CarpetBurnWicked: I <3 psychos!
mtantalus22: I KNOW you'll be great at it
mtantalus22: lol
CarpetBurnWicked: Lmao
mtantalus22: So, I think I'll have my guy have his hate for Cuddy
mtantalus22: Because
mtantalus22: It's more fun
CarpetBurnWicked: That... might be the most insulting thing ever... BUT I love it!
mtantalus22: Like, so you don't have to write so much about your character WITH your character
mtantalus22: Know what I mean?
mtantalus22: lol
CarpetBurnWicked: Not really? Try it again.
CarpetBurnWicked: I'll pay full attention this time.
mtantalus22: lmfao
mtantalus22: Well
mtantalus22: Okay, you have Cuddy and you play her...and then if you play the guy who wants revenge on her or whatever...then that's a lot of interaction you have with yourself when I think it'd be more fun if -I- played the guy who wanted revenge on Cuddy that way you and I can reply to each other, you know?
CarpetBurnWicked: Oh!
CarpetBurnWicked: Okay! That makes sense!
CarpetBurnWicked: And I'm an idiot XD
mtantalus22: lmao
mtantalus22: You're not
CarpetBurnWicked: No, no. Sometimes. I am. But that's okay! It's endearing.
mtantalus22: Haha
mtantalus22: I am sometimes too
mtantalus22: So
CarpetBurnWicked: Okay, so I'll be playing crazy dude #2, who hates Chase and Cameron.
CarpetBurnWicked: The Cameron thing
CarpetBurnWicked: Should be very easy for me.
mtantalus22: lmfapo
mtantalus22: lmfao*
mtantalus22: *can't type*
CarpetBurnWicked: Laughing my fucking ass ... potato... off?
mtantalus22: YES
mtantalus22: That's it
CarpetBurnWicked: GENIUS
mtantalus22: So, anyway
mtantalus22: But maybe the reason someone would hate Chase would have to do with...something in his past? MAYBE it's a CRAZY religious person! Those are always fun LOL
CarpetBurnWicked: Are dudes 1 and 2 connected? It might be strange to have two independent psycho murders about, but then, how would they have joined up? An 'I Hate House' chatroom?
CarpetBurnWicked: Hahah, I'm not religious, so I don't know anything about it!
mtantalus22: I'm just throwing things out
CarpetBurnWicked: Darn my non-religious state.
mtantalus22: I kind of like that idea, I might have to do something with it, at some point
mtantalus22: Like
mtantalus22: An old priest or whatever
mtantalus22: Finds him blastphemous
CarpetBurnWicked: -fails at life, again-
mtantalus22: And thinks he should be punished...and wants to punish Cameron too since it's totally all her fault, her and her lusty actions
mtantalus22: lmao
mtantalus22: Okay I'll drop that plot idea though, that's something different
mtantalus22: lol
CarpetBurnWicked: Lmao, no, it would totally work. I just don't think I could pull it off because of my 'stay as far away from churches' attitude.
mtantalus22: lmao
mtantalus22: Yeah, it's okay, don't worry about it
mtantalus22: I'm sure you can think of something better
CarpetBurnWicked: Ahhh...
CarpetBurnWicked: That's so perfect though. Blargh.
mtantalus22: Haha, it's okay, we'll think of something! (YAY Blargh)
CarpetBurnWicked: Okay!
mtantalus22: Re-reading something I wrote I actually just made myself laugh *shocked*
mtantalus22: lol
mtantalus22: It was this
mtantalus22: Blinking a few times in surprise, Chase wasting no time in making his way over to her, surprise obvious in his tone when he spoke. "Cameron?" Well...duh.
CarpetBurnWicked: SO. Assuming I can pull off 'crazy priest', he will definitely focus his attention on Chase.
CarpetBurnWicked: Hahahah, very nice.
mtantalus22: Thanks
mtantalus22: lol
mtantalus22: Well he doesn't have to
mtantalus22: Hell, you can play a girl, if you want
mtantalus22: Actually, that'd be kind of cool
mtantalus22: I'd play a crazy girl, but I've always been a little off in playing girls, I think
mtantalus22: lol
CarpetBurnWicked: Lmao
CarpetBurnWicked: Me too -shifty eyes-
CarpetBurnWicked: NAH, just kidding.
mtantalus22: You play CUDDY, you wanker!
CarpetBurnWicked: I could go for playing a crazy girl.
CarpetBurnWicked: -GASP-
mtantalus22: Er, the wanker just slipped out
mtantalus22: lmao
CarpetBurnWicked: That is my FAVORITE BRITISH WORD
mtantalus22: LOL
CarpetBurnWicked: My best friend, my twin and I used to pretend we didn't know what it meant, and whenever we had a chance we would ask my mom what it meant
CarpetBurnWicked: She was always AGHAST
mtantalus22: LMFAO
mtantalus22: Awesome
mtantalus22: I remember telling my (British) friend, Sofi, about how Florida is America's 'wank' and she was like 'lol! I didn't know Americans use that word too!" Totally not understanding what I meant
mtantalus22: lmoa
mtantalus22: lmao*
CarpetBurnWicked: But if I play her as a crazy chick, I want to stay away from 'psycho jealous ex'.
CarpetBurnWicked: HAHAH
CarpetBurnWicked: Nice!
mtantalus22: Yeah, of course
mtantalus22: That's overdone
mtantalus22: It would have to be something else
CarpetBurnWicked: Yeah it would.
CarpetBurnWicked: I'll research Chase and figure something awesome out.
CarpetBurnWicked: And Cameron will literally be 'well, you're with him so TAKE THAT'
mtantalus22: LMAO
CarpetBurnWicked: Maybe she'll use Cameron against Chase, the classic female bait.
mtantalus22: Right
mtantalus22: That's always fun
CarpetBurnWicked: -just watched a Superman/Batman movie, so that might be affecting me-
mtantalus22: I think my guy should be, like, an ex of Cuddy's or something
mtantalus22: LOL
CarpetBurnWicked: I watched it for Lisa Edelstein's voice.
CarpetBurnWicked: Oooh, go on.
mtantalus22: Not that he's obsessed with her now, we've already gone that route. He's just pissed off. Because he thinks he broke it off with her and now she's happy with House whooooo...did something mean to him, or something *tries to think* Or maybe he's an old friend of House's dad who always thought he was too nice to House? *gag*
CarpetBurnWicked: Tee hee, yes. Though, to be fair, Kevin wasn't ever a boyfriend.
CarpetBurnWicked: Hmmmm, I dunno!
mtantalus22: True
CarpetBurnWicked: For the former, House could have totally crashed a date, which Dude thought was going well, and then Cuddy never got back to him. Seemingly because she was with House. (some case came up, or something)
mtantalus22: Yeah
mtantalus22: It just seems like the lusting over Cuddy...well, it's all CERTAINLY well and good, I just feel like I've written it a lot, lol
CarpetBurnWicked: Lmao
CarpetBurnWicked: Right, but it doesn't even have to be about her. He didn't even get his chance with her, and maybe he's crazy territorial, so he'd be pissed if it was -anyone-, and House took the chance from him.
CarpetBurnWicked: But you're right.
CarpetBurnWicked: Something different is needed!



Yeah, and that's...about as far as we've gotten so far. Haha.
