⇨ 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>

I don't want to take up CR with all of your characters because it might be too many threads but holy heck if anyone could teach Flowey something, it'd be Steven.

It helps they're even the same age.

[wilt]

Flowey needs a mom really, really badly. Holy hell. That might be one of the few ways he remembers emotions the same way Toriel taught him. A lot of the soft kindness feelings.

Also he's a golden flower, so...? cries

[periphrasing]

GAY VIBRATIONS INTENSIFY

[dressedtothe]

Lol that's fine and more than expected.

Contempt and disdain sound like emotions he could get from 9S if that's how things end up going.

Yugo | (bananaspeedrider) Canon: Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V Carnival Role: Daredevil Length of Stay: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........ There's a big gap in time between his currently third contract from his second, but he's a two year veteran. I think everything's ICly been about maybe a month and a half after he started back? RIP Skills/Powers: Plasma "Dielectric" Breath Simple summoning spell for a cat-sized Clear Wing Synchro Dragon out from its card. Routine: There's a lot of handwaving here when the guy isn't fixated on his bike or performing for the crowds. Current status in game: SO... Yugo was doing sorta okay until he decided he should help with that whole plan of distracting Sans, got stung good in his left arm, and dragged away along with Gon by Manor Security to rock jail! Mostly he did a lot of yelling and ceased eating during that time aside from maybe a potato because manticore venom-induced nausea. Now he's a giant snake dragon arguably trying to eat people, bird mom (Carly) not excluded. Being a berserk tool for destruction and the Prince's entertainment does that. Poor fool. Any current or future plans: Post-event he's actually gonna feel pretty bad for once about how reckless his choice of actions were and the result they led to. No more of potentially crossing fae for him... as long as the people at the cares about at the carnival are fine and safe. IC Assistance: Yugo would also like his Destiny Dice back. Desired CR: I'm just totally open, come at me peeps! Shipping Preferences: Nope. Nah. Taken. His eyes are only on one girl and her lookalikes and only her. Permissions/Opt Outs: Not really, unless hanging around a complete moron would be bad for someone's health. Additional Comments: Look he's also a teenage boy, dammit.

REIRA DARLING...

so tbh since he knows she gets super bothered when he's upset he'll probably wait until he's calmed down to visit her again, but once he does u bet they're watching kid's cartoons together and playing in the snow.

[bananaspeedrider]

If sad and melancholy sorts of moods don't really ping as hard on Reira's empathy radar, Yugo's going to take this child and teach her everything he can that she wants to know.

Like lockpicking and how to hotwire most vehicles. Be the best and most terrible big brother figure at the same time.

[pullingamiko]

she cant believe ratchet is here but more of a dick. gross

[scientificist]

Seriously, you said you wanted some negative cr? I bet that's where this is going, realistically. Or at least into high irritation.

[scientificist]

He's definitely going to severely underestimate her to begin with because. 80s sexism and Herbert sucks but it's p likely he'll end up impressed.

As long as she eventually drops the nickname B[

[scientificist]

God. I really think he's going to gradually see himself in Rita. She's like a more obviously emotional kid him as far as he's concerned.

Sorry for the insult.

[scientificist]

rude. He's way better than some dumb ambulance

[pullingamiko]

we gotta get more DUMBASS ROOMMATE INTERACTIONS possibly including miko trying and probably failing to fight him in the hunt if you're up for that

[spaghettimonster]

Okay consider, Papyrus:
- is not organic, or a gem, but a kind of dust+magic+soul construct. Is he a people???
- DOES NOT SLEEP (almost ever)
- is a fairly competent fighter
BUT MOST OF ALL
- Takes criticism as compliments (because any attention is good attention? because he sees through it and knows it's a way to talk oneself up??) so this could be an infinite feel good fueled by Jasper's insulting.

[bananaspeedrider]

You know I totally wasn't expecting if anyone wanted to skirmish with my snake dragon, but I'm down if you're interested.

Also yes, we need to figure out dumb shenanigans later on.

[periphrasing]

ROLLS UP IN HERE FASHIONABLY LATE

Yes Peridot will still probably be trying to coordinate an effort on this after the hunt is over. She knows rocks and she knows transformation magic, but otherwise she's probably going to have to defer to other people's expertise in a lot of areas?

She's also bossy mcbosserton so once things are a bit more settled I can potentially put her on the network making a call for extra hands on the project. Maybe something joint with Ginko Strange and Mari? IDK I'm p. flexible

[periphrasing]

OK well you KNOW Peridot wants to learn magic, the question is how much she and Strange have actually practiced together at this point (like do we handwave or... I DUNNO)

Anyway, she can contribute some transformation magic expertise, but she's a much better student than teacher tbh. She'd mostly want to hang out with the mages out of curiosity bc she loves learning new things SO MUCH

[periphrasing]

Peridot is going to condescendingly marvel at his ability to not sleep ever

LIKE? HUMANS USUALLY CAN'T DO THAT? Incredible.

[periphrasing]

Actually let me put this down here too

So

Hey

Magic lessons. Also, Peridot might want to get in on that enchantment breaking business? NOT AS A GUINEA PIG BUT. JUST IN GENERAL.

[kingsroads]

lmao I was in the middle of writing a response to the other ooc post, LEMME JUST MOVE THIS OVER HERE

I'm up for handwaving some of the previous magic lessons if you want. obviously they couldn't get much practice done in the manor because of all THAT everything, but I'm up for saying they did some practicing in Greysol.

that being said, you're in one piece Peridot, time for magic lessons to START RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN when everybody's back in the carnival (I say like Strange wouldn't be the world's most easily distracted pushover of a teacher). and yeah, he will happily talk Peridot's ear off about enchantment breaking while trying his hardest to seem like he knows what he's actually doing.

[soft_focus]

Sad-sads never ping too seriously-the most she'll end up doing is feeling relatively uncomfortable and possibly grimacing if there's any vented frustrations made in the mix.

But also yes please be the WORST BIG BRO EVER

[soft_focus]

Ok but you have to explain the cartoons for and to her

[kingsroads]

I adore negative cr. Because Strange wins over a lot of people because he's eager & sincere despite the fact that he's an obnoxious arrogant asshole but that doesn't take away the fact that he's an obnoxious arrogant asshole in the first place.

so I am 100% up for these grown men having pissy little child fights

[periphrasing]

If you are game for it I'd love to get Peridot up in her grill. Because she totally would be, out of concern, because she's her boss whether you VIEW HER THAT WAY OR NOT, RITA!!

Also Peridot's going to be working on the cure project as well so. She'll probably want to pick Rita's brain about that.

ALSO ALSO please tell her about your crazy magic-tech from your homeworld, she'll be super intrigued.

[periphrasing]

">avoiding Peridot and other gems in general..."

FUCKING RUDE

Also we actually need to thread now that this event is over LOL...
