Daily Routines & Handwaved CR Meme

[broshaw]

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

César Salazar | Room 107

[pineapplesalmon]

FAMILY:
- César spends nights in room 102 with his fiancés (Johnny Summer businessorlibation and John Watson lightconductor). Exceptions are generally Plot Relevant. They aren't hiding it.
- Not much PDA. Hand-holds, arm around shoulders, arm-in-arm, quick smooch, etc.
- Rich Goranski firewalled is their adopted son; they're not hiding that, either
- Spends time and meals with one or both fiancés, Rich, or all of them (or friends) but also spends time alone
- Rich and César like to play in the arcade; Rich often wins

Locations:
- Lifts weights in the spa gym, runs on the sports deck, and uses the saunas
- Reads in the library
- Spreads out crafting projects sometimes between all restaurants and the atrium
- Does laundry, gets clothes, likes coffee and bubble tea, does normal human things
- Can be occasionally seen ripping stuff off the walls/floors/seats/decorations for crafting supplies (but not in October with the auto-regen environment off)

CR:
- Wears weighted waistcoats/vests over dress or Hawaiian shirts with a set of belt bags and knee-high equestrian boots. Wears hair in a tall quip, goatee is always perfect. Wears Tommy Bahama cologne. Looks like steampunk lite. Knows it. Outright says he's cosplaying and blames his fiancés.
- Will always stop and ask if people need help when they look lost/confused/tired/unable to decide on something/dying
- Will greet people with a friendly hello
- Will always take people in shock, meltdown, or shutdown to his room (107) and give them food/water/quiet/calm/weighted vest/tea/etc to recover with plenty of sympathy and without judgement
- Will explain tech, science, and emojis to anyone
- Will soon be starting a 'school' that may be called Skool McSkoolface with Cool S logo because he'll ask for help naming it
- Will invite anyone to sushi and teach them how to use chopsticks (not so much in October with the restaurant closed)
- Will loan out his tablet, which has a LOT of stuff (see: Data Hoarder below in next comment); cell phone has the same stuff, but that's his

EXTRA, SKIPPABLE DETAILS

[pineapplesalmon]

- Comes off as strange, but it's just a mix of science brains + ADHD predominantly inattentive presentation; is more tangential and animated when he takes a med break; always overthinks yet sometimes misses glaringly obvious details; BIG EMOTIONS
- Can get overstimulated; usually goes into ADHD shutdown and rarely meltdown if that happens
- A bit socially awkward, hates confrontation, loves humanity/people, and often enthusiastic
- Certified in Mental Health First Aid, First Aid, and CPR
- Fails at text speak despite trying; mostly full sentences
- KNOWS TOO MUCH, god, the research I have to do for this asshole ([quantum] physics, AI, human body, and nanotechnology... but also some old school crafts); hilariously only knows tropes about magic
- Spanish ESL but now speaks English with an American accent; also knows French, Latin, and Japanese (b/c bad anime/manga translations and also robotics)
- Is Mexican-Argentine with also Spanish citizenship; traveled extensively around world in youth; worked in Europe when shit went down
- DATA HOARDER: public domain books (think Project Gutenberg), scientific journals, manga, anime, sci-fi & fantasy shows/movies, video games (old roms), music (lots of classical, Latin, and electric), books on various arts/crafts/cosplay, general reference books (dictionaries, thesaurus, encyclopedias, language), science books, DSM-5, ADHD books, books about dealing with abuse, and just... various other topics. His family had money so he just. Hoarded anything remotely interesting in electronic book form. What the fuck, César.

[pointofhonoria]

I really wanna assume that like 95% of the time Crabb has a technology question she just... bugs César, lmao. Like she'll also just say hi and chat when they're around the same areas too obviously, but.

[pineapplesalmon]

Yes, I can see this! And he's always happy to answer.

[pointofhonoria]

He was her first intro to tech and someone had to teach this woman how to text, now he's ""stuck"" with her asking stuff lmao

[pineapplesalmon]

And he never minds! Why bother asking anyone else when he's nice about it already. LOL.

Also he taught her emojis.

[pointofhonoria]

God I wish I could say she got enough texts from modern folks to have to ask about weird/unobvious uses for various emoji usages now

[pineapplesalmon]

... god now I'm just thinking that she needs to meet Rich if she hasn't already because Rich knows all of that stuff. And also. I mean. He's the triad's kid now.

[pointofhonoria]

True she should probably meet their literal adopted son at some point

[pineapplesalmon]

César is completely biased about him! Although he would have warned her that Rich is very enthusiastic and a bit crass, but his heart is in the right place, and he's a lot of fun.

[pointofhonoria]

Johnny described him as a crude little lout the first time they talked about him briefly she's gonna be So pre-warned by the time she talks to him lmao

[goodweather]

Definitely waves at this guy where they cross paths. Probably has chatted up and down about meteorology, weather anchoring, and music, especially since he has professional experience with the first two, and both training and actual sheet music with his notes for the second.

[pineapplesalmon]

YES PLEASE talk to him about meteorology, he needs to talk about science. And weather anchoring is something he doesn't know too much about. Music he knows some, and he's got a bunch on his phone and tablet.

Also sorry uh FINALLY getting back at these.

Uh. Well. César might be slightly dead now? So Phil can... notice.......? He's not around? for three days???

[goodweather]

Phil will....... definitely notice! Except idk maybe the guy is just tinkering really hard or something?? (What do you mean he fucking died)

Not sure how to or even if I should wiggle Phil in there thread-wise, but he'll certainly notice his absence, and even though he's pretty far removed from the action at the moment, I think he's started to get a feeling that something is wrong. Cue very frequent checking of his watch.

[pineapplesalmon]

Oh, no, there's no way to really easily wiggle Phil in there thread wise but I'm having an open post where César.... just has some staring into the distance to do (DURING THE DAY) and such. Because dude just got literally stabbed to death by a child in the body of his ADOPTED SON.

[goodweather]

TBH. AND HE'S VALID FOR IT

But yes definitely want to get something between these two in the month somewhere, so we'll see!!!!

[pineapplesalmon]

SUPER VALID

Also we did it we have them talking!!

[configuration_birdwatcher]

César comes highly recommended by both MB/Rin and Maximilien as a maintenance technician so Bastion definitely wants to get to know him, and seeing him being generally helpful would add to that

[pineapplesalmon]

YES PLEASE talk to him about meteorology, he needs to talk about science. And weather anchoring is something he doesn't know too much about. Music he knows some, and he's got a bunch on his phone and tablet.

Also sorry uh FINALLY getting back at these. César meeting Bastion would be a good distraction from being... undeadened. Since he's now bitten it a bit.

[ss_buttcrack]

They probably should regularly geek out together about stuff. Someone to talk science with!

[pineapplesalmon]

HEY DEAD BUDDY we should geek out more.

César's been to space! In a spacecraft he built.

And. Well we know these two get along. LET'S DO IT AGAIN.

[ss_buttcrack]

They can start a cool club together: The Murked by their Own Friends and Family club. Where they geek out about space while crying.

But, yeah, they should talk when they both get up.

[pineapplesalmon]

Yes they really should. César knew possessions could happen and has told his family that if he does anything violent, it's not him.

And then he got murked by his boy not being himself. HIS BOY?! César is going to need distractions.

[ss_buttcrack]

Time for some re-runs of muppet treasure island!

[pineapplesalmon]

:( He needs them.

And the worst part is he can't hug his kid proper until the end of the month.
