Meme: Reverse Questions

[not_acute]

Muns: Post here listing all of the characters you play (you might want to list journals, too, just for reference) or are thinking of playing.

Everyone: Ask the MUNS anything about the GAME or THEIR PUPS, because we all know the muns will answer when the characters won't. They can be specific questions ("How does he feel about her?") or general questions ("Why did you choose this pup?", "How do you channel them?", etc.) You can even have pups ask the questions, but ANSWERS are coming from the MUNS.

YOU GET THE FIRST STUPID OLD MEME RESPONSE, CONGRATULATIONS!

First things first: WOW, you're a monster. To answer the question, though, there are a few different scenarios to consider here, all depending on just which Bond she's left behind. While I incorporate a few pieces of book canon for flavour, my Tracy comes pretty firmly from the film version of OHMSS, which narrows it to two scenarios.

1) The Canon Scenario: Bunt shoots wide, and we'll say Bond chases down Blofeld and somehow takes him down then and there, merely delaying what is otherwise a glorious honeymoon. True to his word, Bond retires from the service and they settle down somewhere nice, let's say Spain. Eventually, however, he gets restless and resentful, missing all the adventure and junk. Tracy becomes increasingly unsettled and bitter in return, it all comes to a head when most of the world's population is wiped out by Hugo Drax's nerve gas that Bond wasn't around to stop, and Mr. and Mrs. James Bond spend the rest of their days estranged from each other, living separate lives on other sides of the continent that was once Europe, doing what they can to rebel against the ruling master race and only occasionally wondering with a bittersweet fondness how the other is doing.

Outcome: Tracy acknowledges that it's probably best to let history take its course. Darrow's not so bad, and James belonged to England long before he belonged to her.

2) The Multiple Bonds Scenario (wherein Lazenby Bond is his own man and doesn't really exist outside of that one movie): Bunt shoots wide, Blofeld gets taken down with (relatively) little fuss, Bond and Tracy settle down in his native land of Australia after he retires. They are disgustingly happy and grow old together in bliss. Occasionally, one of them gets bored or restless, so they drop the kids off with Marc-Ange and go on a whirlwind vacation that inevitably ends with them getting in trouble somehow. Eventually they grow out of this habit. Mostly.

Outcome: Um, shit yes, she's on that in a hot minute. MB is the theory I tend to ascribe to even though it's not canon (it just makes so much more sense), and when it comes to playing Tracy, it'll only ever be a problem if someone ever apps from the Moore or Brosnan films, which I... don't see happening? All good, if a little too pat.

...unlike how it would be in the unseen THIRD scenario, using book canon, since I think book Bond would get on pretty well in splitting his life between work and wife and they'd be happy without sacrificing all too much. He'd probably be a lot more cautious, though, and would definitely cheat on her sometimes.

Yay for me!

That was an awesomely thought out response that deserves an equally well thought out response. Unfortunately, it's not going to get it because I'm just too tired but, I am super glad you did reply!
