THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE MEME

Rules

1. Post your character, canon, preferences, and the genre of your canon.
2.  Others tag.
3.  Congratulations, the character tagging you is now from the same genre/canon as your character.  Obviously this works best if your characters are from different genres to begin with.
4.  Thread out one of the situations listed below.

1.  One character has a secret that the other is just dying to wring out of them, through manipulation, torture, seduction, or just constant pestering.

2.  Your characters are on a mission.  Maybe it's a rescue mission, maybe it's a bank heist, maybe it's just mission: pick up juice from the store.  Either way, this mission just went FUBAR.  Whatcha gonna do?

3.  Your character needs to get the other out of bed.  By any means necessary.  Cold water, bacon under the nose, loud singing, whatever it takes.

4.  Your character needs to get the other into bed.  By any means necessary.  Slinky outfits, jazz music, blackmail, whatever it takes.

5.  Your character just delivered some truly bad news to someone.  Let's hope they aren't the type to shoot the messenger.

6.  It's a fight.  Maybe you're bar brawling, maybe you're dueling for someone's honor, maybe it's a petty hair-pulling squabble about who gets the remote, maybe you're werewolves fighting vampires.

7.  One of you is high as a kite.  Drugs, alcohol, other intoxicating substances.  The other might be trying to help, or just taking advantage of the situation.

8. Choose your own adventure!

Olivia Dunham | Fringe | Cross-over or AU

[entangles]

[ Your character is now part of Fringe division. Perhaps this is your character's alternate self in this universe. Or perhaps one of Walter's outrageous, world-bending experiments, has ripped your character out of their world and right into Fringeverse. Seeing how parallel dimensions, character doppelgangers, and inter-dimensional travel are practically everyday for this universe, it's completely possible.

Working in Fringe division means your job is basically an advent calendar of horrors. You deal with the most absurd cases in FBI history, such as chimeras, nightmarish biochemical agents, giant parasites, and aliens. Everyday, you find yourself in the company of con man, Peter Bishop, a mad scientist, Walter Bishop, Junior Agent Astro Farnsworth, and lead agent, Olivia Dunham.

Worst of all, you're dealing with a potential war between a parallel universe. What happens now? ]

[Sitting in a chair out in the hall, just outside the lab, Agent-Civilian Consultant-slash-Person-of-Anomalous-Interest Fox Mulder is reading a magazine. Just a normal magazine, for the record. He has a whole dimension's worth of pop culture to catch up on, after all. (So maybe it has an ad for Californication on the back cover, he's not going to make a big deal about it.) No one else, Fringe Division or otherwise, seems to be around.]

I wouldn't go in there.

[ Olivia has a pair of raised eyebrows for you, Mulder, as she stops right in front of the lab door, hand wrapped around the doorknob. She casts a glance at the Californication ad and Mulder, and makes a mental note about narcissism before speakng. ]

You shouldn't be out here. [ She pauses. ] It's only been ten years, I'm sure they students would recognize you, David Duchovny.

[trust_no_one]

I'm pretty sure the students think this hallway's haunted.

[He sets the magazine on his leg, leans forward with his elbows on his knees to look up at her.]

They might be right. Anyway, I'm not sure if it's a dead guy or a defrosted turkey Walter forgot or what, but it stinks in there, Agent Dunham.

[ What is this look, Mulder? Are you trying to look cute? Like a puppy? Her eyebrows might as well be perpetually raised, as she glances from Mulder to the lab, then back again. The doorknob clicks as she pushes open the door irregardless of Mulder's warnings. It's not that she doesn't take worth in what Mulder has to say, but Olivia's always been impetuous and stubborn about things---

To her dismay in this case, as the open door ushers in a sudden wave of the most noxious stench you could have ever smelt. There are coughs down the hallway and gagging sounds. Poor students caught in the crossfire. ]

Oh god. [ She covers her nose with her sleeve. ] What was Walter doing in here?

[ Turning to Mulder, she eyes him once again- and trust me, that's not a good look to get from Olivia. ]

Could you clean this up for me, Mulder?

[ Seeing how you're doing nothing right now except staring at your own aged face.]

[trust_no_one]

My best guess is he's studying advanced decomp. Or gourmet cheese.

[He's not being narcissistic, he's studying his new situation to better adjust if they can't get him home-- the narcissism is just a happy perk. Cute isn't quite what Mulder's going for, just calm and unperturbed by the unholy stench that fills the lab. It's pretty much a superhuman feat, and when she opens the door he does scrunch up his face with disgust.]

I'm not going to risk setting him off by throwing off his results. You guys don't have the ice cream budget.
