Gossip/CR Hooks Meme

[crushed_pearls]

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?)

Oswald Wuthridge, Cabin 123

[ossie_oswald]

Ossie is, generally, the sort of fellow that keeps people's secrets close to his chest. Presume he's never sharing anything life-threatening. That said, he does talk about other people a lot; presume pretty much all positive or at least backhandedly complimentary. He'll refer to things he's done with or said to people, in a "You know I was just talking to x about this" sort of way.

For everyone outside of his closer CR, however, you may notice that Ossie seems to talk as if he's better friends with whoever he's talking about than he actually is. Nothing egregious, just... friendlier than he maybe should be. Implying he knows them better than he perhaps actually does.

pray april does not catch him doing this about them.




April however is just some encouragement away from doing the exact same thing though, so they both could probably have entire conversations about other characters like this and that's fair and fine!

You mean about his bestie April? His fun time ghoul? His rotten soldier? His sweet cheese?

Catching him in it will be the trick, won't it?

April overhearing Ossie talking about April like he knows them but also after he's used all those nice nicknames:
