Gai grabbed me again.

[estirose]

At least I have only one obsessive muse at a time (though my brain started to give me a Gokaiger/RPM plotbunny and I had to run away screaming).

So, today I got a bunny that bugged me, and I ended up with the fic “Is Law”, which is Gai getting a clue that there are some ways that you don’t act on a Ranger team comprised of pirates. It’s at AO3 .

I saw that fic earlier, read and enjoyed it, before finding myself pondering space pirate mutiny.

Gokaiger/RPM sounds like it would be really bizarre.

[estirose]

Ponderings are fun, aren't they? I think this one started with an image of Marvelous punching Gai.

Plot-wise, I think the brief glimpse I got was the Gokaigers ending up in a parallel dimension, most likely post-RPM. Oh, and Gai isn't versed in the geography of the United States.

[reka]

Yeah. I rarely ever get an urge to write when I start pondering, though. I just turn it over and over in my head until I think of something else.

I can't think of why he would be, bar an unusual interest in geography. Maybe he knows a couple of cities but has no idea where they are?

[estirose]

I wish my brain worked that way. It's like "Plot bunny! Yayyyyy!" *Writewritewrite*

He has a vague idea, and he'd be devestated to see Earth that way, but he'd have no clue where the green area is, other than North America, I think.

(And then there's the whole thing of what language the crew speaks, and if they could communicate with the people of Corinth....)

[reka]

I type very slowly, so I probably just got into that habit because writing it down was too time-consuming to be satisfying enough.

I don't know, but I'm sure that Doctor K could figure it out. And I think Gem and Gemma might do okay discussing explosions and stuff with or without a language barrier.

[estirose]

Sound effects, of course, needing no translation. :)

I'm sure there were some Japanese speakers who made it to Corinth, too. They'd just have to find them. (Or hope that the Gokaigers have some sort of translator microbe. Though I'd imagine Gai would be quite lost if he didn't have one, too.)

I have the opposite habit - I can write plot ideas down pretty fast, plus they stick around. Annoyingly.

[reka]

And expression. They're quite expressive. But I can see them barely noticing a language barrier if there was one.

I have a good memory but poor mental organization, so ideas can get lost. I don't really forget them, though, as much as I forget how to access that memory. It's weird.

[estirose]

That would be Gem and Gemma for you.

I wish some more of my ideas would get lost. It's like, I'm absentminded except for plot bunnies most of the time. And I have pretty good continuity with stuff I wrote or participated in years ago.

(My poor Gai muse is standing there, going "O.O" at everything, and the rest of the crew is expecting him to explain all these weird Earth things.)

[reka]

Poor Gai. Not only is it somewhere on Earth he doesn't know, but it's a difference.

Meanwhile, Ahim is smoothing everything out somehow.

[estirose]

I'm sure Ahim is serving everyone tea and smiling gently. Gai's standing there saying "It's my world gone wrong! I'm not even from the same country! I don't understand these people!"

[reka]

And probably continues to spazz for a few minutes while the rest of the crew just figures out what to do. Poor Gai, having to join a team that insists they have no place for him and then getting too worked up for nothing.

[estirose]

Of course. And only the fact that he's a Ranger and his team might need him is going to keep him from deciding he's going to make an abrupt trip to the Galleon and pretending it was all a dream.

[reka]

I wonder if there's a bit of piracy action in RPM-world.

I think large portions of the RPM team also wish they could pretend it was a dream.
