It's A Secret Mission (In Uncharted Space)

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

 Ahem!  House/Wilsonians!  Once again, I need your help!

Okay, so this time it doesn't require you to read anything, though I greatly thank everyone who did, because with all of the suggestions, I've managed to improve the fic by tenfold.  But, see,  now I have a little problem.

I found this other fic earlier today, which also has Wilson running off the California.  The plot's nothing like mine, so I'm not worried, except for the particular state.  So I need another place (state, city, whatever) that is a possiblity for Wilson to run away to.  And I kind of need it to sound like California, because of a particular line of dialogue. 

Please!  I am depending on your kindess to complete this mission!

And I picked...
Colorado!

Thanks for your help, everybody.

Sound like CA as in weather?

Tampa FL is warm...

CA like in people? I don't know LOL

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

No, sound like it. The word. California. The K sound.

[valn.livejournal.com]

Kansas?
Kentucky?
(Caution: While these meet your criterion of starting with a "k" sound, they are, IMHO, places that people run from, not to...)

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

I agree with your honest opinion. Kentucky was the first place I thought of too, but seeing as...I know nothing about it and it frankly sounds icky, I rejected that. Kansas reminds me of The Wizard of Oz, which is not very Wilson-likes.

I picked a difficult sound.

If you don't mind a bit of ocean, how about Kauai (one of the Hawaiian islands)?

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

Haha, I actually think that might be a bit too far away for my liking.

[katarzi.livejournal.com]

Canada.

After all, he did go to McGill...

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

Hm. *frowns* Another country... Maybe. It might work.

[theyreforrachel.livejournal.com]

Connecticut.

OH JESUS I HATE MY STATE LULZ

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

I'd say yes, but I really don't think that's far enough away from NJ. Hey, you're the one who posted that spoiler and...I know I know something else about you, dammit. Now I'm totally annoying. Anyway, I've seen you around.

[theyreforrachel.livejournal.com]

Schweet, I'm being remembered. :P

Um. . . there's not many more states in the Union with K sounds. What about Korea or Kenya? Lol

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

Haha, I'm going with Colorado, I think. But thank you.

[tiffiny.livejournal.com]

Denver, CO (sunny, warm, mountains)

Really, nobody lives here and nothing is set here LOL

[tiffiny.livejournal.com]

Oh, I just read you meant sound. Colorado still?

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, Colorado might work.

[tiffiny.livejournal.com]

I volunteer to answer any questions you might have about the state (if I can).

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

Hm. Don't know if I need any answers, really. It's just said that he ran off to there. Nothing's actually set there. I needed something that sounded mildly normal, though.

[alemyrddin.livejournal.com]

Carolina?
- I don't even know exactly where it is, though -

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

Is there just a regular Carolina? I thought they were all North and South. Hm, I don't know...

[alemyrddin.livejournal.com]

Probably not, you are right.
I think Canada is the best suggestion, for now. Or maybe Colorado.
:)

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

I've picked Colorado. Thank you for helping.

[csense-ilinmn.livejournal.com]

One of the Carolinas? If you want to stick with the consonance thing, maybe Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

Tis easier to list find interesting cities that meet the "K"-sound requirement than states... Kalispell MT, Kahului HI... and hopping across the pond: Killarney, Kandahar (probably a bad choice), Kawasaki...

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

You know what? I just realized that, in light of the fact that he's basically running away, saying the specific city he's going to really wouldn't work. I'd forgotten about that.

a state like california

Indiana. Same number of syllables. IU med center is a reknowned cancer facility. Not the same weather--way too humid and too cold.

Re: a state like california

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

It was really the K sound that went with the line of dialogue. But that actually might have worked anyway. I think I'm going to go with Colorado though.

Re: a state like california

[csense-ilinmn.livejournal.com]

Running away to or running away from?

Re: a state like california

[nowadventuring.livejournal.com]

He's running away to somewhere.

[naughtybookworm.livejournal.com]

Srsly, you could still use California. It's a big state! And it's a typical place for East coaster to run away to - as far east as one can go and still be in the US (not including Alaska and Hawaii).

IMHO

Two stories about Wilson running away to California is too many for me.

I'm really looking forward to reading this -- it sounds great!

Will you posting it soon, or are you still tweaking it?

Thanks. :)

...Ugh, god, I need to work on that...
