The QUANTUM LEAP Meme



Oh, boy...

You have just awoken in a place you've never seen, wearing clothes you'd never wear, and in the mirror is a total stranger. You're here to set right what once went wrong -- that is, change an event in history (or in another world) for the better. To do that, you've leaped into the body of someone native to this time and place, and you need to pretend you are that person to accomplish your task, whatever that may be.

The problem? You have no idea who this person is, or how they'd normally act. If you're lucky, you might find some ID in your pocket, or a nametag, if that's the sort of thing they'd normally carry. Other than that? You've got to talk to people and try to figure out who you are. That's easier said than done, if you're trying not to raise suspicions...

The Setup:

You're now in the body of another character. Anyone who lays eyes on your character will see someone from their own canon, and react to you as if you were that person. Your job is to figure out who you are and how you're supposed to act based on how that person seems to perceive you... like those Party Guest games in Whose Line. Sounds simple enough...

How to play:

Comment to this entry with your character, fandom, and any preferences you might have in the subject line. (Rating, leaper/bystander, gen/shippy/crack/drama...)

Reply to someone else and set the scene for them.

• If you're the leaper: In the subject line, tell them who your character is, and what character you appear to be. Then set up the scene: Are you approaching them directly? Trying to be discreet? Completely ignoring this person you don't know is supposed to be your best friend? Where are you? What are you doing?
  
  
• If they're the leaper: In the subject line, tell them who your character is, and who you see them as. Then set up the situation they've leaped into: Are they about to lay the final blow on you? Make the shot that wins the game? Explain what they're doing in bed with your daughter?

HAVE FUN! The possibilities are endless here!

[ooc: ooh, the possibilites on this one xD ]

[noticing]

[ OOC: Oh yes indeed! c: I'm afraid I'm not actually familiar with Merlin canon, beyond a little wiking and friends explaining it to me, so it'd probably be better if Merlin wound up in the body of someone Sherlock knew. But I can play the opposite, I'd just be going in canonblind. Is that all right with you? ]

[ayoungboy]

[ooc: Either one works with me! The show does a good job of following the most popular legends. If Sherlock were the jumper, I'd say probably Arthur would be a good choice, and if Merlin were, possibly John?]

[noticing]

[ OOC: Well if you don't mind, it would be a lot easier for me if Merlin were the jumper. c: Making him wind up in John's body would be great, actually! I couldn't imagine poor Merlin switching with Mycroft, or worse, Moriarty. I'd be happy to start and set up the scene, if you're all right with that scenario? c: ]

[ayoungboy]

[ooc: sounds good to me! Just one last question I forgot to ask - do you mind if Merlin keeps his magic? It's more attached to his soul than anything else. And I'd love it if you'd start us. :]

[ hi you hi you i was going to dump you in at the canonblind deep end but then i decided 2 be good which way around would you prefer to do this h e h ]

[bratwurstcalling]

[U get 2 choose since we know each others canons, don't worry I'll make it horrible either way.]

[ ooc;; oh, he'll be the leaper. Because of reasons. Though he won't drastically change anything, maybe to relive special moments and cherish it forever. Who says you can't get some closure out of that? I say, that's not half bad. Not half bad at all. ]

Dan as Fran, because we're insane

[angry_jerk]

Dan wasn't exactly sure what was going on. He has just... woken up in this body. He found this discomforting. And when he spotted Veronica somewhere in the halls, he knew this couldn't end well.

Solution: blow up things and fake amnesia. It was the only way to get good information these days.

And so, Dan combined two very dangerous chemicals and created a very deadly explosion. The blast damaged the doors and smashed Dan against the windows of the lab. "His" body then fell to the floor and a groan of pain escaped Fran's lips.

"Oh god, the pain."

[Unless you know my stupid and obscure canon (or would like to give it a try blind), I'm fine with David pretending to be someone from yours! Just bear with me if I'm not familiar with yours-- I might PM you and pick your brain.]
