... Oh, I've really done it this time.

I never could figure which one character to write about. I was restless and wanted to write about two, so I decided the only sensible thing to do was to just put them both in a blurb and let them interact.

The odd thing about it was, one of them was from the past and the other was canonically killed in the present.

I just figured out this past day how to rescue the latter, Wesley's blackmailing character Ray Norman from Cannon. I did a write-up about that at Tumblr today. Basically it would involve Portman taking his body and reviving him. And emotionally torturing him for two years until he was broken, gah. When the police would come and get her, they'd find him and he'd be out of commission for a while to try to heal. And then the judge would decide that Portman had tortured him so badly that it was worse than any prison sentence, and grant him probation.

Then I decided on some more oddities and had Coley Rodman get zapped into the present day, end up physically tortured, and escape and go stumbling into Ray's golfing club. Ray would find him and try to help him, and he would believe the story of Coley arriving from the past. They would develop a certain allegiance, what with Coley not having anywhere else to go and no one else to believe him and Ray being so alone and fearing Portman's return so much that he's ready to latch onto anyone for company.

I already have the blurb just about finished and ready to post on Monday, with the 31_days theme for that day. (It won't be part of the octoberwriting challenge, though, since I wanted all of the short pieces there to be part of a connecting story and I already have it planned which themes to use.) It's mostly a character study of Ray and Coley talking at some point after meeting. And I have plans for a hurt/comfort angst blurb too....

So I crossed over a oneshot character from Cannon and a oneshot character from The Wild Wild West. Very, very strange.

But honestly? I like it.
