Would anyone be up for a body switch event set in HQ? I originally wanted to do one way back in 2008, but the Macrovirus crisis ended up taking the timeslot. Basically, if enough are up for it, (since this would be an all-hands event) I'd set up a spreadsheet for everyone volunteering for it to toss their characters in to offer for their body being swapped into by another character, and set up the RP on the other board. The RP would include a plot, besides the introductory freakout, with the following:
i. Couple agents bringing in a body-switching device from a badfic and then it going off in HQ and subsequently getting lost in the midst of the following chaos- if anyone would like to volunteer their agents for that, it's fair game, otherwise I've got a pair I'd be introducing through this. Cue it going haywire and affecting a good deal (if not all) of HQ. Characters can of course be exempt for whatever reason you can think of if you don't want them involved with actually getting bodyswitched! (They were on a mission, their particular brand of paranoia means they decided an aluminium hat was a wonderful accessory and it actually worked, they were somehow not in range, bizarrely naturally resistant, and so on.)
ia. As previously mentioned: Chaos. Well, more than usual.
ii. Hunting down the device! Because most people would probably prefer to be back in their usual body, and don't want to think about this whole thing too hard because it's too weird even for the PPC. This can be split into smaller groups, and I'll even roll a die or flip a coin depending on how many people want to get involved in this as far as whomever finds it goes.
iii. DoSAT doing their thing and fixing the problem and restoring everything back to normal (for the PPC). Cue relief, for the most part.
Overall it'd take place over HQ time of about five days, starting either Sunday or Monday if people are interested. Since this is an RP, as usual by board standards, everyone can take part even if they don't have permission (just keep in mind that an eye'll be kept out on you if you go overly wonky or too out of line!). Of course there'll be guidelines, like 'this is not an excuse to maim someone else's character's body without permission'.
Feel free to ask questions if you've got any.
