Gossip/CR Hooks Meme
Are there people your characters are talking about all the time? Gossip they're always sharing? Someone they just fucking hate in a way they don't or can't hide? Welcome to the gossip meme y'all, where you might find some CR hooks. Format shamelessly stolen from the Handwaved CR memes.
1. Post a comment with your character's name & cabin number in the header, and give us an idea of who they talk about and in what contexts. Be as vague or specific as you like!
2. If you're up for it talk about why they think these things of other characters so people might have an idea of what they heard about them/the implications they can glean about that relationship.
3. Profit! (And maybe you can grab some threads; does your character hate being talked about? Enemies escalate their shit because Keep My Name The Fuck Out Of Your Mouth? Just think a particular bit of gossip might be more fun to do IC?)

- May occasionally refer to SecUnit in passing as someone he spends time with sometimes, and will refer to it as "he" unless corrected, which is something I prefer to handwave.
- Brings up Darcy unprompted more often than anyone else, which is to say, not very much. It's also rarely about her, because he knows she's a pretty secretive kid. It's usually something like "you know, Darcy was telling me about how sabres are..." or "I've only ever given one driving lesson, and it was to Darcy..." et cetera.
- If it comes up, will offer up Ossie as fantastic lunch and dinner company.
- ... May sometimes ask unprompted if a person knows Maeve, and if they do, he'll ask how she's doing.
- "You know--if you haven't seen him already, and you're looking for a good cocktail, there's a gentleman who likes to post up behind the bar at Hurikane..."
- May mention César as someone who is a whip-smart engineer and very compassionate, but also very distractable. It's kind of charming though.
- If it comes up, Erin is a bit of a touchy topic with him, but not a hostile one. He'll be very insistent that he's grateful for her help and he likes her company. But there's... something a little tense between them. Not from a fight or an argument or anything. (Never spoken: It's just that, like a radiant, polished mirror that emphasizes every part of you so much that it's hard to look at, including your hideous flaws, he sees maybe a little too much of himself in her story.)
