⇨ IIIT'S A CR MEME!

[ringleaders]

A WILD CR MEME APPEARS↴ Given that it's been a while since our last CR/plotting meme, this seemed well overdue! This post is where you talk about what you are looking for in character relationships, and then respond to other people's posts to plot! You can be as long winded or as brief if you like - as long as you communicate what you are interested in doing. New to this post is a 'Collective Objectives' section, which will be a toplevel below. This is for coordinating events or efforts that you want the input/organization of multiple characters on, making a big group log, or developing something have broader ramifications for the Carnival moving forward. There is a form provided below for your convenience, but you don't have to fill everything out! It just needs to be enough information to give your fellow players an idea of what they have to work with. CHARACTER NAME | (journalname) Canon: (What canon are they from?) Carnival Role: (What is their job? Maybe your characters could be working together.) Length of Stay: (Are they new, a veteran, or somewhere in between?) Skills/Powers: (Self-explanatory; a concise summary of their powers and a link to their IC info page is probably more than enough. ) Routine: (Does your character have a regular schedule people can bump into them easily? A place they like to hang out? Are they a night owl or an early bird?) Current status in game: (What they've been up to recently, their mental state, and any recent important events or developments.) Any current or future plans: (This could be things that you would like to happen, or ideas that you're currently working on. Where would you like to see your character go, or are you looking for suggestions? Is there something you'd like to do at the current carnival location? Are you trying to nail some bonuses/rewards over the next month?) IC Assistance: (Do you have any specific IC goals that your character needs help with? Does your character need help with their act? Do you need someone to fill a specific role in their life?) Desired CR: (Are you most interested in seeking out positive or negative CR? Friends? Dates? New enemies? Be as specific as you can.) Shipping Preferences: (Yay or nay? Is roleplaying sexual content something you are interested in? Are you interested in one sided crushes? Let us know here.) Permissions/Opt Outs: (Please link any permissions/opt out posts, if applicable, here so other people can fill it in. You can also use this to make a note of any content/subject matter you'd prefer to opt out of yourself.) Additional Comments: (Tagging speed? Timezone woes? Funny gifs? Anything else you'd like to address.) <center><table width="600"><tr><td align="justify"><font color="#333"><font style="color:#000; font-size: 25px; text-shadow: 2px 2px 0 #d93022, 4px 4px 0 #ffd217;"><b>CHARACTER NAME</b></font> <big>|</big> (<user name="CHARACTER JOURNAL">) <b>Canon</b>: <b>Carnival Role:</b> <b>Length of Stay:</b> <b>Skills/Powers:</b> <b>Routine:</b> <b>Current status in game:</b> <b>Any current or future plans:</b> <b>IC Assistance:</b> <b>Desired CR:</b> <b>Shipping Preferences:</b> <b>Permissions/Opt Outs:</b> <b>Additional Comments:</b>

COUNTDOWN 2 EGG (i gotta actually look over how many extended ratio days there were fffff)

[whattaprick]

THIS IS A GIVEN but Strange and Lambert need to catch up with each other when everything's settled down aka. run circles around each others problems. They're probably launching straight into messing with that poison cure once Lambert's able to stay awake for more than a handful of hours at a time, but they gotta get their SUPER BRO TALKS in as well, eventually. you know how it goes

[whattaprick]

i thought i replied to this but anyway, sounds like mari's one for Team Magic then! she already transformed sans' tail into a tentacle (lmao) surely there's ... something that can be done there

[insidescoop]

Crushes ey?

Lovers ey?

Honestly after this whole mess if Carly gets close enough to Lauren she might ask RM if you can cram two more into a super trailer bc 'NOPE, NOPE YOURE COMING HERE, SAFETYTRAILER also bring your brother-' tho...

On the flipside, I feel like Gongenzaka CR could be interesting? GIANT BEASTMAN COMMUNES WITH THE ENERGY OF LIFE, LETS BIRDS AND BEES SIT ON HIS HAIRPLANTS....

and obvs, reira aftermath is a thing GIVE ME ALL THE CR AKI!!!

AAAAAA

[insidescoop]

So Carly still has a bunch of noodle cups in her trailer and that should probably say a little bit about....what kind of stuff she has...

AS IT IS Spiky body armor is a good excuse to Require New Clothes, which in turn means Yammmering nerd bird yammers at lizard opportunities.

Also they probably have similar attraction interests imagine these two hiding their faces whenever the same girl passes or something Rip i mean i guess carly's hot too uh

On a serious point, if there is..ever someone who is probably good for 'people who had to come to terms with Serious Shit', CARLY IS IT don't worry Alphys she briefly sided with a thing that ate THOUSANDS OF SOULS

she has since Destroyed Them. Destroy the thing that plagues you Alphys (Unless its you then you take a spa day)

[insidescoop]

YO SON WE GOTTA TALK about bikes

about bikes.....

[insidescoop]

So obviously after this hunt nonsense Carly wants to make sure someone's alright-

Also she's working on Shadow Speak nonsense so she'll probably update him on that. ALSO HOW ARE YOU....WITH ALL THAT Awkwardly attempts to talk through unknown problems-

[insidescoop]

Ok so Reira stuff we know that's coming and a thing so -shoves that aside- OTHER THINGS

THINGS I'M KINDA EXCITED ABOUT ACTUALLY mostly because this book has been a big fat unknown since it was found.

So Carly of course has a spellbook she stole from the Count of Crows-she actually has the Ink and Pen too, which could mean adding spells possibly? Regardless.

The main point is, once things seem to calm down, she's going to seek the Acquisitioner out, now that she knows a touch more about shadows being a Thing. (I say that like she knows anything beyond 'oh childermass does shadows I guess' which is. Not much, woefully little, but you do you, Carly)

This is a SERIOUS REQUEST so she'll be fairly serious in her approach at least, so Childermass would likely be spared most of her reactivity regardless of how thaaat goes but YEAH

Book written in Shadowspeak, want to look over it with her?? First time she tried it, her shadow started wandering around not listening, so that's a great sign.

[otoko]

SO. YUZU. So obviously Reira recovery and sistering is a thing but now Gon's in a new tent with new horns and his own Great Sickness-

Wana uh

Wanna visit-

[motivenotfound]

Yeah, the basic magic of "something becomes another thing" is definitely there....

She also, admittedly, is a literal metaphysical biologist, but she doesn't tend to admit that very often? Though now that I think about it, LCL might actually be pretty handy here.

You want some primordial life juice for your chemistry sets?

[motivenotfound]

Mari's actually BASICALLY a magiscientist already. Her actual field, back home, was metaphysical biology.

She's gonna think Herbert's interest in reviving the dead is mega regressive, though. It's like he's never even heard of the Chamber of Guf or something.

[scientificist]

He has not, Mari, please try and keep up: differently sourced people here have access to different research.

They're going to try and out-patronise each other.

[kingsroads]

tbh Childermass is probably a LOT BETTER than Strange would be wrt the shadow speak stuff as he actually was Winter Court back in Portland. of course, Strange is an arrogant asshole who wouldn't really admit that until he's tried (and failed!) at figuring out the book's info himself

also let's not think about the whole murder thing, have you tried coping via alcohol Carly, it's amazing

[kingsroads]

super bro talks can be had while Lambert's woozy thanks to the poison. HA HA, CAN'T ESCAPE PRODDING QUESTIONS IF YA CAN'T GET OUT OF BED.

granted, the most prodding question Strange has for Lambert is "that dragon thing, what the fuck" but I'm sure these two will have other heartfelt/absolutely dumb moments as well

[hurtcomfort]

LET'S PLOT SOME THINGS FOR GHOSTHOUSE

Cole's a mindreading creep and would probably just like...pick up on the fact that Zan's pissed and just obliquely call him out on it, if ya want. though considering he knows jack shit about sword people, this can only go terribly.

[fortuneglass]

Good news is she'll be asking Childermass for sure-

Bad news she also still trusts Strange which means LOOK YOU CAN TOTALLY JOIN HER WEIRD STUDY EFFORT RIGHT??? They can learn 2gether-

Also somehow she's yet to be taken out for drinks so TIME TO CHANGE THIS

[otoko]

Fact: Gon and Scout CR is a thing I super want-

so basically this works SUPER WELL

[atouts]

adds more potatoes for every time he's found napping in the supervisor grove.... :|X

Seriously, though, at some point he'll probably request Tyki go bother someone else. He does have two bosses, y'know!

[atouts]

Haha, well! At this point, I think I'm just going to drop points on an item that wards rather than bugging Yuya, but if they ever get into another chat about magic, it'll come up in passing.

And absolutely. Childermass would at least want to ask what having the rose was like.

[atouts]

We should probably do that Reira thread soon, with the hunt wrapping up.

And he'll be equal parts interested and anxious regarding something stolen from the Count, though he obviously isn't going to be showing the latter there. No idea how much he can help her with it, but I guess we're about to find out. He does have a better grasp on controlling shadows, at least.

[atouts]

i am so down for rule of funny situations, let's do this

What kind of spells is he even thinking about using for this, anyway? Or is it just 'whatever pops into your mind while in progress'?

[fortuneglass]

The Ringmaster will never let her forget that incident- (She and Strange basically had it fenced with fire while Carly held her head in her hands and Regretted Everything, rip-)

I guess for the finer details we'll have to ask Quix what kind of stuff Childermass' fae aspect lends for this...

Anyway-re: Reira, I've said she'd seek him out when she could of course, but obviously with the hunt and its likely aftermath it's just as easy (or even Easier) for Childermass to be the thread instigator. Inbox or otherwise, I'm fine with whichever you feel makes the most sense.

[wild_magic]

i am always for ridiculous kid interactions, and i agree that they could probably have great convos! they both are kind of rash and ridiculous? i am 100% for this.

[criticallyfucked]

So will it be up to Foster to search out Lambert, or will Lambert look Foster up?

[prazerbutterfly]

I feel like Tyki is going to flip flop from worst boss to best boss many many times throughout his time here.

He does but he didn't try to push Childermass off a balcony BUT FINE HE'LL GO BOTHER JOKER AND ACTUALLY MAN UP.
