Daily Routines & Handwaved CR Meme, VOLUME 5: the road ahead

Handwaved CR Meme:
time to formally delcare your character's high score on time crisis

Well, here we are again. The Serena Eterna is sailing forward toward the unforeseeable future -- but the passengers don't know what waits for them down the road toward eternity. What they do know is what their daily life on the ship is like! Standing dinner dates with friends, favorite hangouts, and extremely rational blood feuds are common occurrences for people who have been living at sea (some for two years now)! Even new passengers may find themselves with their own habits, if they haven't been absorbed into those of their fellow passengers.

This meme is here to help flesh out the background moments that help fuel character relationships. Post your characters and their routines, then 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!

  5. BONUS ROUND: December marks the final excursion (as far as we know........), and unbeknownst to the passengers, it's also going to be an entire month! That means that for some unlucky passengers, they'll be noticing a serious deficit in people around. If your character is leaving for the excursion, it might be good to highlight things that will be obvious indicators of their absence. Things that might go uncleaned, patrols that might be missed, etc etc. does that make sense i sure hope it does

TLDR: write about your character's life on the ship and then compare notes with other people, find CR and plot hooks, ???, profit

(Last meme, for those who might need it!)

César Salazar, 107 and honorary 102

[personal profile] pineapplesalmon 2023-11-24 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
César sleeps with his husbands in room 102. They often share meals or otherwise spend time together. They aren't ever crazy on the PDA, but it's very clear they're all in love. He often delivers food to Johnny while he's tending Stan the Man's bar.

When he's by himself, he works out 3x a week, varying the days, at the gym. Running on the track, using the weight machines, the whole nine yards. He often gets coffee or bubble tea from Sand Dollars when it's got supplies. Or sushi from Mikabo.

He also will train sometimes with Shouji and has a standing lunch time with Phil once a week.

César can also be seen walking around the ship at least once every other day to just walk around the ship. He'll sit in the library. Sometimes, he'll even play a game in Playback. He will restock food and supplies for his cabins from the various restaurants, food shops, and All and Sundries. Also, he shares laundry duties with his husbands.

Near the end of the month, he'll strip materials for projects from the ship and shove them into his Pocket Dimension. In front of people. Because he finds it funny.

If he knows you, don't be surprised if he starts up a short conversation. He'll keep an eye out if someone actually wants to be quickly on their way, but... he's trying to make himself more available to people. So, enjoy?

Lastly, please note that as of the afternoon of November 8th, he no longer has his goatee and has lost a bit of weight and muscle mass.
