lostcompass | APRIL CR MEME

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:

APRIL CR MEME

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

PLAYER: Rose
PREFERRED CONTACT:

LadyotRings

CHARACTER & CANON: Xiao Xingchen (Mo Dao Zu Shi)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: naive and blind rogue cultivator who sees the best in people and makes bad decisions because of this
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: Lipstick that he absolutely does not wear in real life

HOUSING: The Termite House (#4 with Hendrik, Yun Yifeng, Wei Wuxian, and Allison)
FREQUENT HABITS: Hanging around Xue Yang FAR TOO OFTEN, taking walks every day so as to familiarize himself with the neighborhood and "map out" his location so he doesn't get lost, reassuring the locals that he doesn't need to go begging, honest, he's just blind, generally being A Nice Boy.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? Getting himself into trouble In short, going to Ke-Waiar to get special water, getting wounded by werewolves, finally going begging to try and get the tributes some money

CR THEY NEED: A therapist, sob. Friendship??? Definitely people who look at his relationship with Xue Yang and say hey friend u good? (he is not good)

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: I jokingly say I want everyone to fall in love with him a little bit but is that really a joke I don't know anymore. Uhhhhh I don't know anyone who helps him continue making bad life decisions?

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:

- let him do neat sword stuff without it biting him in the ass in the end maybe
- he's not good at stealth (obviously) but he definitely wants to get more involved in the ongoing issues, he just also isn't very confident in himself these days. he's very willing to do spiritual power transfers if anyone needs it, to be stronger or what have you, he can be helpful!
- he can join the "put the dead to rest" squad, or at least try...the dead around here aren't exactly cooperative

having met xue yang for all of 5min, she can safely agree that he is not good no
listen i have to orchestrate the situation in which hermione blurts out that he's obscenely beautiful

xue yang is a dumpster fire of a person and xingchen knows this but at the same time he kinda cute..................

you should have seen him when he had eyes, hermione

how do you know he's cute if you can't see him be shady, xingchen honestly HONESTLY
GIRL
LOOK AT YOUR LIFE

Wrathion will absolutely be his friend, he was nice to him once and that's the bar for friendship for him! He also collects good boys because he considers it his job to be the bad cop when they cannot.

PLEASE BE THE BAD COP even when he was still hanging out with his old ~~boy~~friend, he was the nice one in those types of situations

It's hard being someone who sees the good in others

even if you can't see anymore

Don't worry Wrathion can inject some professional cynicism --

it isn't paranoia if they all ARE out to get you. Sometimes you gotta strike first!

CHARACTER & CANON: Izuminokami Kanesada (Touken Ranbu)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: historical sword that became a pretty boy that does time travel to protect Japanese history
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: Long, Long Man~

HOUSING: Murder Turkey House (#8 with Kaneki Ken, Jens Macher, and Eda)
FREQUENT HABITS: Probably just staking out the whole place because what the fuck is going on, etc.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? NEW BOY ALERT NEW BOY ALERT WEE WOO WEE WOO

Meanwhile he's been terrorized by a vampiric bunny named Fluffy during the Hunt and it's been quite humiliating. He's worth more than this.

CR THEY NEED: People who are competent and knowledgable so he can get a better feel for this new world because it sure is not Japan. He works well in team settings, so help him do the stuff that needs to be done around town. HAIKU FRIENDS.

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: I mean he's a baby sword so I'm always here for people teasing him, even if he's actually 338 years old.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:

- SWORDING THINGS you need something stabbed? let him know (within reason)
- Kanesada would be really good for squad stuff and isn't afraid to be put in charge
- He looks like he's in his 20s so the "you're how old???" conversation is always good
