The Happy Ending Meme -or- The Person I Need Meme

Boy, the characters we love sure go through a lot, don't they? Epic battles, crapsack worlds, evil villains...or maybe they are the evil villains, no judgement here...or the terrible dreck of mundane living. It's rough out there. And don't even get me started on romantic relationships! It's dead love interests and forever alones all around if it's not will-they-won't-they shenanigans. Now, it's time to kill those two birds with one stone. Yes, that's right. Your characters will be getting the happy ending that they deserve (or don't, whichever), with the person they need to make them happy. Or as happy as they can be. The catch? Well, what you want isn't always what you need. Maybe your character's idea of their happy ending, I.E. being surrounded by the corpses of their dead enemies, isn't exactly the most healthy of things. Instead, what they'll be getting is what will lead them into being a more stable person in the long run. But who knows? If your character's ideal is domestic bliss, that may be what they get...if's that what they need. The same thing applies to the person they've come together with, somehow, the person who will share their happy ending with. Your character's mouth may say their dream girl is "buxom stripper who will follow my every whim," but what they REALLY need to ground them is a nice girl who won't put up with their crap, or someone kind but plain - You get the picture. Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first; sometimes, the first thing you want never comes. But that doesn't mean your ending can't be happy. HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character and your preferences (m/m, m/f, f/f, etc). You may also want to mention if smut is cool with you or not. BE SURE IN YOUR COMMENT to include what your character needs, describing the kind of person, etc, so people who are not canon-familiar or those who aren't sure what you'd like will know. Blank comments won't be deleted, but they're not encouraged. Play fluff - or whatever passes for fluff. Contentment, maybe? Comfort?

[ Newt needs someone who can stand having some of his work coming home with him. He would love another nerd with a love of monsters, science, and can make him feel complete.

They also need to have a high tolerance for disorganized chaos. ]

((OOC: At least Mohinder would be interested in the DNA? He is a geneticist after all.))

[kaijunerd]

ooc: Yes, and all the love of tossing out random theories about evolution out there. The more outlandish the better. I think Newt would love it.

[seekevolution]

"As interesting as your theories are," Mohinder says, sitting in the spot Hermann had once occupied, "I'm not sure they're entirely relevant." It's not every day your wife has a child and certainly not every day that Hermann becomes a father. Poor woman, she's going to have to do most of the heavy lifting and the running about!

Mohinder pulls over a stool and politely motions for Newt to get out of the way so that he can look into the microscope.

"We simply don't have enough data and are far too ethical to attempt to cross human and kaiju DNA." Right, Newt? Please tell Mohinder that even you have limits? The possibilities of doing more than just producing Chinese medicines from kaiju bone is important science, but their samples are finite with the breach closed.

[kaijunerd]

"Hey! You can see that things are going perfectly smooth!" Newt scooted out of the way for Mohinder, and he placed his hands on his hips. "Okay, not exactly smooth but it's smooth enough to prove that there's a chance for us to cross kaiju and human DNA."

He tossed his hands up into the air, and he rolled his eyes off to the side. "I think if we do this, we could have a breakthrough for a number of things. I don't think we need to rattle them off again. And Chinese medicines have sometimes had some proven effect to be beneficial to medical science."

Newt went and leaned over Mohinder's shoulder, and reached for a pen with his free hand. "And I'm not talking about a cure for erectile dysfunction."

Really? Mohinder leans back, one hand still on the microscope, as he fixes Newt in his dark gaze. There's an exasperated sigh that follows. Kaiju parts actually have been put to some good. Field fertilization, power production, and yes...a few not-so-mainstream medicines, but Mohinder doesn't care for the path that this is going at all.

The trouble is, he has a bad time saying no to people. And the excitement of others just makes him excited too.

"Opening up this research could be disastrous in the wrong hands," he cautions, turning on the wheeled stool under the pressure at his shoulder. "For as much good it can do, imagine the consequences!" But Newt doesn't think like that and Mohinder, of course, gives him. "Oh... All right, we can at least test it in theory... Let me set up some slides."

[kaijunerd]

Newt might be over reacting, of course he is always takes things a step too far at times. He reached his hands up and ruffled his hair, leaving it a typical mess. "We would need to run a number of tests to make sure it would be safe for the general public. But, but, but just think of the break through we would have if it worked!"

He did worry about the research getting out there into the streets, and if Chau got a hold of his research, he would hate to think of what would happen. An army of super humans? Drugs? Newt thought to himself, and he sighed. "You got a very good point, but I think with it being in one of the safest places on the planet, there is no chance of anyone taking it." He tried to reassure himself despite Mohinder's sound logic.

He lowered his hands, and he knew if Hermann had been there that day he'd be told he was out of his mind. The fact was he is out of his mind. "Theory, I want this to become something more than a theory!" He hurried to get some of the slides setup.
