Title: I think there needs to be a group trip
Post by: ChippyD on 10 Apr 2009, 22:15
I know Jeph probably has the storyline planned out for the next year or so, but...

I think it'd be awesome if somehow the entire QC cast went on a vacation someplace, broaden their horizens and introduce some interesting ideas
Say, maybe Angus turns out to be really rich, and invites Fae, Martin, Dora, and Hanners to some resort his family owns.

I dunno. I think it would just be cool to see the characters in a new setting maybe?

O dear, people.

People, people, people...

Are we INTENTIONALLY setting up a jumping of the shark?

If this thread is intended as humor in that direction, I'm laughing.

If this thread is being advocated by those clueless of TV tropes, I'm...wait...I'm still laughing.

Whether you are all a bunch of comedians, or a bunch of loons...I'm finding it makes no difference.

Please, do carry on.

And then he jumps it, giving everyone thumbs up as he does it

Beach Trip or Onsen Trip.  Give into the cliche. 


That said, I could imagine Martin+Dora or maybe Martin+Dora+Faye going on a short trip.  Wouldn't be anything weird about that, the whole cast going would be slightly odd.

A girl in an eastern cult will become a huge fan of their band, and send a ring to Hanners whose wearer must be sacrificed. The band'll sing a slew of their greatest hits while traipsing through England, The Alps, Germany, and The Bahamas, trying to avoid the leader of the eastern cult and the mad scientist who desires the ring for its powers.

So you think your watching a thrilling adventure movie, but it's really just a setup for a bunch of Beatles Deathmole music videos, that would be Hausome!!

What QC Really needs is for Faye's 8 year old black nephew move in with her and Marten for no reason that's ever discussed, especially if he has a lisp and/or a catchphrase. (Watchoo talkin' bout Pintsize?)

You know, shooting is too good for you. But while you're at it, will Dora close CoD and run Tai's dorm instead? I mean, if we're going to hell, let's get right to the bottom.

Sending everyone on a vacation is what sitcoms do to bring up ratings. This isn't Scrubs, Friends, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, etc.

I think if anyone was to go on a trip it should be camping this summer. Seeing Hanners camp would be interesting. And maybe they could bump into the naked old man. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1352)

Though it would be appropriate for Marten and Dora to go off some place together.
Dora's absence could also motivate some drama at the CoD.

Oh really? Who would Dora leave in charge?

Faye is 'senior' barista, but can she run the place?

Penny seems the most reliable person, but she is the most recent hire. And she had these rants...

Raven. Bwahahaha!

Wait. Sven could keep an eye on the place. He's responsible. Bwahahaha! and Bwahahaha! again.

  Group Trip?

 Only Group Trip that might happen is if Tai really pushes things and drops (accidentally or not) a stack of acid papers into a coffee machine, leaves them laying about and everyone working in store helps with advertisement flyers and bill mail preparation for the mailman. (what a surprise he'll have coming when he arrives for pick up!)

 Then everyone at store goes on a little trip, altogether now...(cue Beatles) - when they come down Tai's confronted and either has to Grow or go...

 Hannelore doesn't seem to trip or notice it, as she sees things all the time from being up days at a time, only now everything makes sense and she's not afraid...she actually reaches out to feel the fluffy critters and Not even Dora (even though Faye wants to) will elt anyone show Hannie what she really was touching and feeling as she wandered through the customers (some likely dosed too.)

 Cops show up later and ask if they have any of the "Special" coffee left, as work's getting boring and they want to make it more interesting.
 QC group gathers to watch Cops next week and isn't sure if it's Reno 911 or the Local Finest at work!

 - just an odd 1 am, 101.7 fever induced train of thoughts and what ifs...and narry a closet android reference (cept dat one.)
 Gah, goto the VA to see a doctor, get exposed to all the sick people and come home with new interesting meds and the flu. Life's a great road trip and Murphy's driving in the wrong lane.

Post script thought- Hmm. If someone explained Murphy's Law to Hannelore and how even though imaginary he's real enough when you have plans or just aligned that last M&M correctly after segregating them by color before your midnight snack. Die M&M's DIE!

  Also I want to see a Hannelore "GOT MILK" moustache, even if it's with a frappe/cappuccino that she doesn't notice for a while until she smiles at a guy, freezes her face and then runs to the bathroom to see if she smiled correctly- and the horror a foamy moustache!

I would think that the planning for a Road Trip Story has been written by Jeph, on a post-it note.
Then placed at the bottom of a stack of papers which were filled with concepts for other more important things
which were eventually loaded into a cardboard box
and placed in the corner of a deep and cavernous basement never to be seen again...

UNTIL

As Jeph has explored every single interesting concept of a story in the history of humankind, and sits in the depths of his cavernous basement, frantically searching for any sign of inspiration that can bring life to a world dying from lack of a storytale, he finds a faded scrap of yellow sticky paper covered in dust which contains the words "marten and co go out for a vacation trip lol stupid". And then he will use the idea to fashion one last desperate futile attempt to revitalise civilisation.

In other words, no.
