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

Diana Abel | Cabin 103

[diana_abel]

I'm not a super big fan of handwaved CR (I'd much rather play it out!), but here are some of the places you might see Diana. Note that she's only out of her cabin at night because she doesn't want to burst into flames and die in the sunlight. She's picky that way...

BELLONA THEATER: Every single night, without fail, Diana will stop by and sit on the stage to play her guitar. She doesn't care if anyone comes in to listen or if she's all by herself. Sometimes she sings. Sometimes she composes. She's even been known to dance with her guitar tucked up against her torso, like it's a partner. She'll engage anyone who wants to chat. If someone just wants to listen silently, that's okay too!

LIBRARY: Diana loves to visit the library and is often there, sitting on the floor in a corner, reading a steamy romance novel or some poetry. She usually keeps to herself, but if anyone looks confused or lost or in need of a good recommendation, she'll pipe up. Weirdly, she seems extra sensual when she's in the library.

FATE'S DESIGN: Occasionally, Diana willy play a slot machine or too, usually pausing while she's on her way somewhere else. She's always happy to explain the casino to someone who needs a tutorial.

JOHN'S: When the piano isn't playing Billy Joel songs, Diana will sometimes sit at it and play herself. She usually plays showtunes or oldies. Rarely, she might play an original piece. She tries to be pretty unobtrusive about it. If the place is packed, she may stay away.

CHATTERBOX: Sometimes, Diana will hop in for karaoke. Her go-to song is usually Somebody to Love. She'll also take liberally from the Beatles' catalog.

He will definitely silently listen in at least one night, but he'll be quiet as fuck (for once, he's so loud...) and wearing a mask.

But they will definitely see each other at John's and karaoke. Who approaches whom first is now a game.

[diana_abel]

Like a game of chicken...

[konpeito_aji]

Or a dance lol

[ossie_oswald]

I'd absolutely love for Ossie and Diana to meet + talk over piano! Ossie is definitely familiar with both showtunes and oldies, and I think there'd be some really interesting and neat CR with their shared experiences that I'd want to explore!

[diana_abel]

Yes, please. I've been miserable about tagging these last two months, but I'm going to work up the nerve to post a TL in October (maybe...).

Otherwise, point me to your next TL!

[light_mischief]

they've probably seen each other at the chatterbox! up to you if they've ever talked or if it's just a mutual respect for the art of karaoke lmfao

[diana_abel]

Probably a lot of the "I know you from the crew" chin jerking.

[goodweather]

He's definitely caught her at John's once or twice and sat in just to listen.

[diana_abel]

He's a handsome boi. She's definitely tossed him a smile or two. She likes handsome bois.

Klaus will probably occasionally show up to listen to the guitar, but LISTEN. He needs her to come do karaoke with him some nights, okay?

[diana_abel]

Let's arrange this. I have a feeling it needs to happen.

[busball]

I am 10/10 down for this. If you want to write it out, there's a karaoke prompt on his most recent TL, but we can do something for this month, too.

[diana_abel]

Let's do something this month. Maybe Halloween-y?
