Daily Routines & Handwaved CR Meme

Handwaved CR Meme

The passengers have been living on this ship for a while now, and it's likely that they've fallen into certain habits and routines. Little things have become part of their day, from lunch dates with friends, to quiet nights in the library, or long-standing blood feuds. Even the newest passengers have likely found themselves some common haunts and familiar faces. This is a meme to talk about, flesh out, and collaborate on some of those behind-the-scenes moments and routines!

  1. Post a comment with your character, and give us an idea of what sort of things they get up to around the ship! Be as detailed or as vague as you'd like.
  2. Talk about what kind of handwaved CR you can inspire! Is your character the type to stop and chat with friends on the promenade? Are they consistently the highest score on multiple arcade cabinets? IDK, you tell me!
  3. When you look at other characters' routines, you might notice some moments that line up! Even if your characters are total strangers, they might see each other at the buffet every day, or maybe they're unwittingly competing for the high score on DDR. And close CR might mean weekly dinners, book clubs, sparring sessions every morning... like I said, this is where you shine!!
  4. This is also a good chance to handwave characters exchanging contact information, generating some more inbox threads!

TLDR: write about your character's life on the ship and then compare notes with other people, find CR, ???, profit

Steve Harrington / cabin 133

Steve looks like your average fit teenager who is being played by a 30 yr old man. Right now he has no clothes from home apart from the absolutely awful outfit he arrived in so he's strictly sporting Tommy Bahama threads. He doesn't like them but he genuinely believes he makes them look good. Wears a lot of hair product.

He isn't keep a strict schedule so you might encounter him at any time of day or night, it really just depends. If he can't sleep he'll get up and wander around and as a traumatized teenager who's currently really goin thru it, there are a lot of nights he's up and wandering.

He's generally approachable though he can be kinda cranky sometimes.

⪼ Sports Deck - He spends a lot of time hanging out here. He hasn't been able to do much because he's got healing injuries but you might catch him idly shooting hoops every now and then, just not doing anything that requires more than throwing a ball until he's better. Once he realizes there's a ping pong table he will absolutely pester anyone he sees for a game since it requires less exertion.

⪼ Windjammer - He eats pretty much all of his meals here. Usually open to company.

⪼ Tommy Bahama - Spends a sad amount of time here digging through clothes because he's certain that someday, somehow, if he just looks hard enough, he'll find something he actually wants to wear.

⪼ Playback - He's not a video game guy by any means but he still hangs out here sometimes just for something to do, but usually only if there's already other people here. He doesn't play any of the proper video games but he'll play foosball, air hockey, that kind of thing.

⪼ Bars - Ever so often you'll catch him in one of these, seeking out an irresponsible adult to grab him a beer please.

⪼ Around - As I said before, more often than not you'll find him just kinda wandering around the decks or the lounge, looking bored. This is an athletic guy who can't currently do a lot of athletic stuff, who doesn't like reading for fun, doesn't watch a lot of movies, etc etc, struggling to find stuff to entertain him on a cruise ship. It's rough, buddy.

6 might be convinced to get a beer for him. Least he can do after obliterating the poor guy in like 3 different ways.

lmao yes, he can give him a beer and probably also find a way to verbally murder him once again in the process

He probably will do it again without even meaning to. Sorry, Steve. You're a good lad, though, he likes you.

Klaus is very irresponsible. He will give him all the beers. Don't even worry about it. He does it for Vance, so why not?

1. jeff is irresponsible enough to give him booze. HE'S 21, BABY, JUST MADE THE CUT

2. jeff definitely would've complimented steve on his super cool hair. maybe he's wandered over to steve at the buffet a few times?

3. alternately, he could have been very easily bested at foosball or air hockey

Crichton might challenge him to a game of H.O.R.S.E. on the basketball court from time to time. How's his ice cream buddy doing? (Also, he will totes give you a beer at the bar if you ask.)
