Daily Routines & Handwaved CR Meme, VOLUME 3: last known whereabouts

[light_mischief]

Handwaved CR Meme:
Every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photograph.

The Serena Eterna has been a fairly static home for the past twelve months, and the passengers aboard have fallen into certain routines and picked up interesting habits. They have standing lunch dates with friends, familiar haunts, and (occasionally) irrational blood feuds. Even the newest passengers may quickly find themselves folded into the lives of their fellow cruise-goers... for however long they have left.

This meme is here to help flesh out the background moments that help fuel character relationships. Post your characters, their routines, and see who else might be stalking the buffet at 2 AM or who you might run into on laundry day. After all, the ship is home to a whole host of strange people; you're rarely the only one around.

1. 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.
2. Talk about what kind of handwaved CR you might 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 us!
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!

MARCH MADNESS: Consider throwing up memories that may have been too short/simple for actual threads! Give people the opportunity to say they wandered around a town in a way so unassuming that it left no impact on the memory-holder! IDK this sounded like a good idea at first but don't hold me to it, you do whatever you want!
END OF DISC 1: Also consider mentioning how your character is handling the cracking reality around them! Are they feeling pretty bad about it? Or are they like "meh, whatever"?

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!)

Cassandra de Rolo | Cabin 128

[not_the_last]

Habits

Cassandra's habits are mostly as listed here, with the following changes: she's also frequently to be seen at the memorial on the sports deck, and when in places like the library she can often be seen working on some piece of handcrafting with beads or gold wire.

March Madness

Feel free to have stumbled into a memory of Whitestone! It's pretty much the only place Cassandra has ever been prior to the ship. Time periods available are the same ones listed here; please let me know if you'd like a particular idea of what you might see if just wandering through. (Want to see a celebration either Winter's Crest or Highsummer, two of the year's biggest holidays in Whitestone, either before or after the Briarwood interregnum? Want to get chased by undead or giants or undead giants? Want to catch a glimpse of those celebrated heroes of Exandria, Vox Machina, as they grapple with their worst nemesis: a locked door?)

End of Disc 1

Cass hasn't slept very well since December, owing in part to having a roommate she doesn't quite trust (sorry April), and the strain is beginning to tell. On top of this the unprecedented incursion on her memories is a whole new level of loss of privacy and integrity of self, and she's not dealing with it well. (And of course, some of what she's undergoing in other people's pasts is pretty bad too.)

She's not doing so great, you guys.
