This is my current outline for the Greg House versus Artemis Fowl story.
If you have any complaints, please tell me at the forum link in scene 1 or via PM or via email.
I will take suggestions seriously so if you want any say so in this, now is the best time!
If you have any requested scenes or one shots relevant to this story, please tell me and I will do my best to make them happen!
Anyway, in roughly one week I will begin the main story so respond quickly!
Okay, here is the outline I am proposing:
Butler is in New Jersey seeking to speak to an old contact of his while Artemis is away at school.
Butler is injured during his trip and is taken to Princeton-Plainsboro hospital when the Kevlar in his chest interferes with an MRI. He is immediately taken up as the personal case of one very bored Dr House. Once he regains consciousness he immediately contacts Artemis Fowl to inform him of the situation. While it is unlikely, the presence of the Kevlar and possibly the Dwarf fat in his forehead may cause suspicion and possibly cause the discovery of the People. Foaly is contacted by Artemis and to keep things from possibly getting bad the ever paranoid Foaly has Artemis to go to the hospital along with Holly and Mulch to destroy any evidence of fairies and obviously to visit & heal Butler.
Things go rather well except that since the people exposed to Butler's unique condition are doctors a blanket mind wipe is out of the question, so Foaly comes to supervise a series of fine tune wipes while Mulch and Holly destroy any documents relevant to Butler as well as heal Butler to facilitate his removal. While the group is there, some of Foaly's sensors register temporal disturbances Artemis is sent to investigate this as Foaly can't because he probably should avoid walking through the hospital unless absolutely necessary and because he was busy supervising Mulch and Holly in a fine tune wipe of Chase.
So Artemis is handed a tricorder like device and sent off to locate and investigate the disturbance. He then finds the center of the disturbance in a storage closet. He steps inside and is enveloped in a black abyss. An entity named Me emerges from the darkness and tells Artemis that unless he, his current party and a man named Gregory House do exactly as this entity commands... The universe will collapse in on itself and everything will die. Artemis leaves the closet trying to understand what he had just seen and returns to Foaly to give his report, including the part about the apparent hallucination. Foaly shrugs it off as a Mud Boy that just needs more sleep.
Later, as they are preparing to leave they encounter House as they are staked out in the mesmerized Wilson's office conducting mid wipes. Holly mesmerizes him like in the first scene of the sample. Later it is discovered that House is in fact named Greg House and so they call upon him using Wilson and interrogate him (Without much success) in Wilson's office as to how Artemis could have had a hallucination about a man he had never met or seen before. At this moment the entire group is visited by the entity Me and is told what was told to Artemis.
Me explains in rather rude fashion the cause of the temporal readings in that they are rifts he created in time that will open at irregular intervals. When these rifts emerge, a game will begin where Artemis/House's group must open the rift (The power to open and close the rifts is given to House as Me feels it would be funny to force the party to bring the cranky cripple along on these dangerous missions. Me also curses House's leg in such a fashion that Holly can't heal it as he feels that such an act would just be too cheap.) and fulfill very specific conditions Me will provide at the party's entrance into the rift. Basically the entire point of this is the nearly all powerful Me got bored and decided to watch mortals play his games. Me states beforehand that he reserves the right to change the rules whenever he deems it fun to do so.
The party doesn't have much choice but to comply, and their first mission begins right away.
Personally I was thinking this first mission might be a parody of Sherlock Holmes, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Any suggestions are welcome as to what missions the party would be sent on.
Since the rifts are not open at all times, there is a lot of time that the party will be waiting around New Jersey. The plan for this was to effectively split the time the story feels like House (When in Jersey) with the time it feels like Artemis Fowl (Time spent conducting missions)
I hope this plan suits people and I am open to any and all suggestions and questions.
There is a forum for this as well and anyone may PM or email me if they wish.
By the way, in case anyone was wondering this is not in the same time line as my other fanfic in which Me is the titular character.
