APRIL CR MEME

[groundrules]

Salutations! Just a few notes before the main event:

■ we're a tighter crew than originally anticipated for April, following some hiatuses, so we'll be adjusting this month's calendar timeline. We'll have a check-in below if anyone wants follow-up, cues or clues, or has questions about what they discovered in the latest & greatest. We'll have a think about a second check-in in late April.

■ Don't forget your NPC threads, if you signed up for one! Generally, please share any interesting discoveries that have emerged from them or from plot rolls with the entire group — a creepy network post a day keeps the... doctor away and gets everyone killed.

■ Check out the latest character housing arrangements!

■ In case you've missed it: PM if you'd like a(nother) invite to the game discord server. Invites typically go out when you join, but dreamwidth notifications aren't always friends.

And now:

......................you hate this man, huh

Sure.

Why not.

Do it.

[downswing]

Let's be buddies in curse crime, Moiraine

[traaaaaash]

Eda can judge u. She's good at that.

Also she's the same "push you away before asking for help" type, and... she can recognize her flaws in others while still refusing to face them in herself 8D so... that might be interesting?

And, well, magic advice.

[traaaaaash]

did I hear SCHEMES?

[traaaaaash]

so fun fact about Eda one of her nicknames is Lord Calamity

[downswing]

They can just calmly judge each other.

She's an owl, he might be physically unable to not stare.

Who blinks first????

[traaaaaash]

get rich quick schemes sound fun, Eda's always coming up with a scam or two

[blackscales]

Eda Eda

sometimes this goopy black water heals people

sometimes it causes MUTATIONS

don't you think that's interesting?

[badlypoisoned]

the importance of money should never be discounted! Clearly they need to get talking and discussing business. ;)

[traaaaaash]

sorry she doesn't do calm, she'll probably get bored and go do something else first

[traaaaaash]

very interesting very shiny

clearly this must be investigated

[traaaaaash]

clearly they do! this can only end well 8D

[wooden_one]

what lies i love him with all my heart

Incidentally, Yun Yifeng only realizes he's not very good at playing not that he's really bad because his fiance is always like, oh your playing is all right and threatening everyone else with martial law if they say anything. Will LWJ be the first to tell him the truth!?

[blackscales]

Stick hands in goop

?????

Profit

[traaaaaash]

he can stick his hands in the goop and she can profit? sounds good 8D

[downswing]

It's Lan Wangji, bad music offends his core, his heart, his clan, his history, his sensibilities.

I'm just saying.

[blackscales]

What about if you just drink this for him and tell him how it feels? He'll take notes!

[wooden_one]

Hey Wrathion, one of your housemates has magic, enchanted clothes. It's the exact same set he wears every single day because part of the enchantment is that it is dirt proof. Also! Fellow crafter high five! Also he is down to learning how to make the anti mind control stuff...though he prefers bribes over other methods of.

[downswing]

Iiiiiffff you're off hiatus but don't want to stretch to a TL of your own, happy for you to hit up mine, for some quick'n'dirty CR? They could do some beautiful things hunting down that raven shrine...

[traaaaaash]

hmmmmm...................... no

but they can come up with new potions together and have other people try them

[wooden_one]

They can go adventuring together!! Also their CR so far has been cute I would love to continue it!

[blackscales]

.... Feed them to people they don't like for science?

[blackscales]

Very technically

When Wrathion shapeshifts the clothes come with the shape


Does that mean they are conjured? We just don't know! Nobody wants to address these important questions.

[blackscales]

So if you actually want a little splashback I can have Wrathion snarl a more direct retort in frustration the next time he feels Judged. Would work much better in person than over the network I am sure, the only thing is Wrathion gets very hotly emotional quite quickly despite selling himself as Cool and Calm and Collected so it wouldn't be like... CALM, REASONABLE DISCUSSION. He's always straight to Drama.

And also this would mean Wangji was actually potentially aware of Wrathion's one sided one man war, so depends if you think it's funnier for him to remain entirely oblivious for longer.

[downswing]

I AM FINE WITH WHATEVER, I typically find that Lan Wangji tends to internalise conflict / just take a slap and walk away, sooner than retaliate (unless someone else's dignity is at stake) — so it's less about needing HEAT in his case, more about, "You are wrong, and here is why."

Wrathion, your second name is hereby Su She.
