The Trickster and the Moose (Question and Syllanna) OOC

[Question]

Alright, here is the OOC so we can discuss... stuff. Anyway, we have to decide when we want this to take place. Do you want it to be before they discover he is Gabriel, between then and Hammer of the Gods (When he dies), or after Hammer of the Gods (We can say he faked his death again since he's constantly doing that.)? Or at a completely different time?

[Syllanna]

Lol. Moose. They're all particularly enticing times to start this thread. I guess it all depends on how we're approaching this. Since I assume this is a romantic type thing, maybe it will be best to start leaving hints before Dean dies and the angels are brought into this. Just little things. That way the development of finding out Gabe is an archangel is Sam's journey of finding out just who he's gotten tangled up with.

Then again, after Hammer of the Gods would be easier if we want to go off-cannon since it opens up whole new possibilities. Geeze. Let's say....Trickster era. Maybe during the Groundhog Day episode? That's very Sam and Gabe focused. Don't you think?

[Question]

Alright, we can start with the Groundhog Day episode. We could play out Hammer of the Gods (And the Changing of the Channels one as well since that is very important for the plot) later on to help go off-canon while referencing little hints that Gabriel could have left behind previously to lead up to the fact he is an archangel. Does that sound good to combine all three?

[Syllanna]

Heck yeah! I'll have to rewatch em, but that's okay cause I own em! Though I'm still debating buying season 7, Gabe is out after 5 so I own all the ones with him. Do we want to go very in-depth with these first episodes? Or are they like teasers where we only focus on the few bits an pieces we have to change to make them romantically inclined?

[Question]

Lucky! I usually watch the episodes online but I wish I owned them.
I think it would be best to go in-depth with the episodes to show how the relationship changes from Sam hating Gabriel in the beginning to actually being sad when Gabriel pretends to die at Luci's hands. (Also, it could be cool to have Sam actually see Gabriel die. That would be interesting.)
Also, we should just take the main bits from the episode and then change the small bits. For example, in the Groundhog Day one, we just have to make it so Dean constantly dies. Outside of that, we're free to have Sam and Gabriel interact as we like. Because it is hard to follow the episodes precisely. Sound good?

[Syllanna]

Right. Especially since they skip from like, day one to day 103 or some such. Lots could have happened between those days. I'm so excited! Should I put up an IC first? Or do you want to do the intro?

Also, I totally understand about the DVDs. They were just something it was easy to ask for Christmas since my family doesn't really get my other hobbies. That's many years of asking only for one thing. They'll probably have em really cheap now though. Maybe even package deals....

[Question]

You can put up the IC, if you like. I'm terrible at setting the mood.
Plus, there are a few things I have to buy.
*Runs to Amazon.com to buy DVDs*

[Syllanna]

Just checked Amazon. Still pretty expensive. Not as expensive as it was to buy each season as it came out. Huh.

At any rate, I'll make us an IC today and post it for you.

[Question]

Alright, sounds good. In the meantime, I'll be watching Skyfall again.

[Syllanna]

Ta-da!

I was going to have a manly Sam, but after watching the episode, I realized that this exact moment in time is sort of a weak point for Sam. He has to be a little whiny at first and I thought the prayer thing tied in nicely with Gabe. Lemme know if you can't work with it and we'll see what we can change.
