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

• Goes to bed late, wakes up late, classic teenager sleep schedule when he has no school or anything else to worry about.

• Eats whenever he gets hungry and usually just sits alone. He kind of acts like he's in prison and other people might steal his food at any given moment, because he guards his plate and holds his fork in his clenched fist so he can stab with it if needed. He mostly just eats at Windjammer.

• He spends a lot of time at Playback, mostly on pinball because that's his game but he's starting to branch out to the newer stuff as well, especially anything that involves fighting or shooting. He's very competitive and wants to actually get good at the games he plays, and will not give you time to practice or learn the controls before kicking your ass if you're a beginner. Git gud, filthy casual.

• He also goes to the sports deck to work on his fitness. He isn't exactly an athlete but he wants to stay tough and enjoys physical tasks enough to pass the time.

• While he walks around a lot to stay in the know, he's used to being on the fringes of social groups and is hesitant to engage with a lot of casual conversation or fun social activities unless someone drags him. Both because he doesn't want to cramp his style and because he knows he's a bully who hasn't made a very good impression here.

• Spends a lot of time making sure his hair looks good.

One-handed pinball is just feasible enough that Bastion has probably tried it. Is Vance the type to also play with just his left hand while kicking their ass to show off how much better he is at it or would he be more like "sucks to be you" about that

they're a gracious loser, at least

He'd probably be a "sucks to be you" type, but he'd still accept the challenge (and brag about winning)

I'd love to continue having number 6 just periodically check on him if that's not too annoying. Generally keeping an eye on him.

Yes I'm down for that! It'd be good for him, really, even if he doesn't think he needs adult supervision.

Heeee, yay. He's getting it whether he consents or not, haha. On the bright side, Number 6 would be willing to teach him how to fight with that knife if he wants.

oh hey Jeff's all about dragging people into social activities and friendly conversation! and he's the sort of person who'll just flop down at a stranger's table and chat them up at the buffet, so he definitely could've annoyed Vance before

he also spends some time at the arcade, and he's a terribly noncompetitive hippie, so he's pretty easy to beat at... any game, really. which could suck the fun out of winning, who knows

...though I can also see him accidentally winning at some fighting game through haphazard button mashing, too...

also he'll think Vance's hair is really fucking cool

Hey, I'm down for all of this! He really wants people to think his hair is cool so that will instantly get some positive points with him.
