Come Sail Away OOC Comm

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!

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!)

The Serena Eterna has some fun new idiosyncrasies these days, from repairs becoming monthly to food being in inconvenient supply, but routines are routines, baby! Standing dinner dates with friends, favorite hangouts, and extremely rational blood feuds are common occurrences for people who have been living at sea for upwards of a year now! And even new passengers may find themselves with their own habits, if they haven't been absorbed into those of their fellow passengers.

SURPRISE, IT'S A PLOTTING MEME: If you're looking for specific things to do with your character, from finding like-minded individuals to work towards escape to looking for romance in all the right places, let people know! You never know, two people who eat dinner at the same time may find that they have a lot of shared dreams and desires! Bait your plot hooks and snag a big one, or something, whatever, metaphors are dumb!

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.

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"?
