OOCness and Dalek Love

[misscam]

Am writing a fic on request forlynn_fox, who asked for, among other things, "a move of OOC" for Grissom (I get to justify it, of course). So I'm wondering, what would be OOC for Grissom to you?

A little preview of said fic:

What he remembered afterwards was the pattern of tiny hairs on the back of her hand, almost invisible in the flat light of the lecture hall, but rising against the touch of his skin, almost seeking him, as he shook her hand.

"Sara Sidle," she said.

"Gil Grissom," said he.

"Entomology is our friend," she repeated and her smile made the hairs on his hand stand. "Fascinating seminar, Doctor Grissom."

He echoed the smile. "Not creepy?"

"Just creeping," she replied and he could feel her mind behind her words, rising to met his too.

The mating habits of butterflies, moths, mosquitoes, even ants came explained in textbooks and colour illustrations for easy reference. Suddenly, he wished hers did too. "The Mating Habits of Sara Sidle", all the patterns of her captured within for him to read and understand.

Maybe it would be easier then.

Maybe it wasn't meant to.

Also, love my new icon. Made by reenjalas Dalek Love. Want to write Daleks into fic.... EX-TERM-INATE!

I don't know much at all about CSI, but from what a friend has told me about the show, right off hand I'd say... Not only Grissom noticing that somebody's got a new haircut, but even complimenting them on it? It's either that or giving fashion advice or dating advice to one of his team. But again, I'm not familiar with the show, I'm going on what I've been told about it by my friend, and she's a big fan of the show.

And love the icon! :) "You're nothing but a pepper pot with a plunger on top!" I believe is the old line? :)

To me, a OOC move for Grissom would be something like him doing something completely spontaneous in regards to Sara. He lets things slip verbally from time to time but I can't see him reaching out to her physically without the situation calling for it (like up to now, the two handholds). Like Sara for example saying something and it makes him touch her for no reason at all.

*waves* You're new, no?

Yeah, that would be fairly OOC for Grissom - and you didn't even need to see the show to know that ;)

Mock not the Dalek or it will come knocking.

*ponders*

Definite possibilities therein...

Aiiieee! Aren't Daleks the GREATEST?!

... in a creepy take-over-the-world-and-kill-everyone sort of way? ^_^

Ahh, there's the other Dalek icon I've been loving! :) Yes, I'm new to your LJ, but I've been around for a little while now on LJ. On Fanfiction.net, I'm Kahva, The Good Twin, and I read your Fanfiction University of Middle Earth fic over there - LOVED IT! :)

I've been seeing more Daleks lately - when I was having to record BBC World News for us to air earlier this week, they had footage of the British cricket players on top of a double decker bus, and one of them was waving an inflatable Dalek. :)

The friend I was referring to also happens to have the last name of Grissom, which made things interesting a few months back when a former roommate of hers car was broken into. The officer had just gotten through telling them to not expect too much in this case, that "this isn't CSI", then asked for my friend's name. She had to go inside and get her driver's license so that the officer wouldn't think that she was trying to be a smart-aleck! :)

Hmm... Grissom could maybe have a secret passion for paperback romance novels? ;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes. They want to kill us all and we love them even more.

*showers love*

Eureka! That's *perfect*! Fits with the whole mating habit theme.

Heh. I guess the Daleks helped the British cricket team exterminate the Aussies some.

And hee, that's a brilliant story.

[megaera-1.livejournal.com]

Yes, and the British are such good winners, too...

My favourite annoying quote is, "You see, Australia...it sounds such a lot like failure!"

What a snappy line!

/sarcasm.

:P

Hmm, OOC for Grissom...

To speak plainly without quotes, going Zen, or being cryptic. For him to...ah...make a good pun ;)

For real OOCness, have him give someone a heartfelt bear-hug. IC!Grissom would have a heart attack.

(And Daleks are disturbingly cute...)

*waves to Kahva*

And OOC!Grissom, to me, would be a Grissom that opened up to his team members on a regular basis, and easily (emphasis on "easily") revealed his feelings to Sara. OOC!Grissom might also have a sudden, unexplainable aversion to bugs.

Put the Dalek in the Cat-smut fic you still owe me.

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

Most awesome icon ever. *fangirls*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

They haven't won in a while and thus have had their gloating skills diminish due to lack of training.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Now that would be the anti-Grissom.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't want to kill him either.

(Now you see why they're such a craze.)

Cat having sex with a Dalek?

I wouldn't put it past the Cat, to tell ya the truth
