Daily Routines & Handwaved CR Meme, VOLUME 2
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!
- Post a comment with your character's name & cabin number in the header, 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.
- 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!
- 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!!
- 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
(Last meme, for those who might need it!)
Bastion, Cabin 144
● They do spend time on the sports deck, tending to their garden. It doesn't need a lot of tending since it doesn't grow at all, but they water it regularly.
● They don't need to sleep, so they're often hanging out around the ship late at night; they do need to recharge once in a while and their cabin is the most convenient place to do that since it has power outlets, but they don't do this on a set schedule.
● If you sneak up on them they will freak out and yell and maybe reflexively punch/backhand you, although they won't immediately go into combat mode unless you're also pointing a deadly weapon at them when you suddenly appear inside their personal space. Their hypervigilance is such that it generally takes either intentional sneaking or superhuman sneaking abilities to get the jump on them, so baseline humans (or people with non-sneaking-related powers) don't have to worry about doing it by accident, even if they habitually walk quietly.
● They themself are not very stealthy, unless they move very slowly and carefully, since they're tall and broad and heavy by human standards and the faster they move the more metallic rattling noises they make.
● They're reasonably waterproof but they sink in deep water, so they're willing to go in or near the pools but they avoid the kind of horseplay around the railing that could lead to falling into the ocean.
● Everyone who was at the game show now knows their serial number but they will absolutely not introduce themself that way. It's not a secret like SecUnit's real name, they just don't like it. They introduce themself as "call me Bastion or E54", or just Bastion if they're in a bad mood because most people don't want to call them E54. That's their model and series - there used to be a lot of E54 Bastions - rather than a personal identifier, which is why they avoid referring to either of those as their name (the Changeling characters in particular might notice this), but those or one of the nicknames other passengers have come up with are their preferred monikers.
● They have a lot of time on their singular hand, but they're not gregarious enough to regularly approach people and start socialising, so they fill most of it by people-watching, playing whatever arcade games they can physically manage with one hand (they're getting pretty good at DDR; they can play pinball by rapidly switching between flippers, but they are not good at it), investigating the Tommy Bahama to see if it has a consistent layout they can map, and sometimes reading the library books but it's rare for them to find written fiction particularly captivating. They're too aphantasic to fill in the gaps with their imagination, so the sparser the prose the less they get out of it, and the stylised art of graphic novels is usually not much of an improvement.
● When they're not doing any of that and not actively trying to avoid other people they wander around pretty much all of the ship that they can access just to see what's going on, which they don't think of as patrolling but the main difference is that they don't consider themself obligated to intervene if they run into someone doing something dangerous or suspicious.

Re: Bastion, Cabin 144
He has probably heard a bit about Bastion already bc Dimitri has mentioned them. So he’d know who this is, even though there’s a good chance he first saw Bastion at the game show, where they were introduced with numbers. Dedue wouldn’t ask Bastion about that because he’d think it rude to ask.
