CR MEME | JUNE PLOT ROLLS

Hi, everyone! Two parts to today’s party:

JUNE JAZZ

Check out our latest plot roll & NPC thread options for June, for which you’ll receive full details on Wednesday, 22 June. You can sign up your characters for the quest of your choice until 18:00 GMT on 21 June.

■ We’ll need at least two characters signed up for a roll to carry it out. Quests that receive more than five sign-ups may need us to RNG a character who gets final call on any decision-making within the quest.

■ Try to be available to play things out with your quest-mates between 22 June – 5 July.

■ If you’re looking short on time in that period, it might be easier to offer support to characters who are leading a plot roll, without signing up.

■ Please share the information you get with the group at large through network posts.

As a heads-up for folks who’ve never done one of these — you may get offered follow-up quests, items or plot development because you helped out with a plot roll. You can always opt out of that.

CHARACTER & CANON: Number Five Hargreeves / The Umbrella Academy

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Cranky elderly teen with a reputation for murder/teleporting/bad-time travel, obsessed with his family and taking things too far.
HOW THEY END A TERRIBLE DATE: His only love is a mannequin, and Dolores was usually the one to end them when they got into an argument by... not talking to him... for a while. She always forgave him because they were in love.
THE (SPITEFUL?) THOUGHT THAT GETS THEM THROUGH THE DAY: He can fix it.

WHAT’S THE EASIEST WAY TO…
...IRRITATE THEM: Any reference to his child-situation, disagree with his math, make bad coffee, insult his siblings in a way he hasn't approved of, any talk about time travel, this list could go on.
...EARN THEIR AFFECTION: Be useful and find logical solutions, help his siblings in a significant way that he's not immediately suspicious of, make good coffee.
...SHOCK THEM: Usually happens when he finds out that he's not the only one familiar with age-regression. Still shocking.

WHAT SHIP DO THEY MOSTLY HANG OUT ON? He can teleport and he'll bop around wherever he pleases thanks, but whichever ship his siblings prefer is going to be his home base.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Making new science friends and refocusing on time travel because that's always a great idea.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: People who want to supply him with alcohol after he's called a child (he's getting such a complex while zero-caring about it), science-types(!) who want to help him tinker and definitely be bossed around, murder situations that take a turn. People who call him on shit and/or actually want to befriend this guy. Open to all the positive or negative CR it's all good stuff.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT:

smooches five's face, move over dolores there's a new stepford smiler in town

...now that you mention it there is a resemblance, how weird.

can't believe five has a type.

soulless blonde beings masquerading as human

probably shouldn't think about his blonde robot mother, this isn't a thing and he has no type

never mind that Dolores was bald and he (allegedly) imagined her as having pretty blonde hair like his mom, he just didn't get out much

Need more of these two always. /sage nod

Absolutely yes. Do you know what's going on with his sister, bestie? Mildly concerned about this necromancy situation.

HE DOES. He saw his sister after everything went down so he definitely is like Oh you absorbed some of the volcano magic and now these side effects are happening like hearing dead people. Makes sense. He's grateful it doesn't seem fatal like previous people who have absorbed volcano magic. 😬

Yes that. Explain it exactly this way so Five can correctly gauge how obsessively worried he needs to be about this. This is kind of your area, how do they fix it??

Something about being a Hargreeves. They have the worst luck.

lmaoooooo WRATH IS the most reassuring like that. BUT YEAH definitely in Wrath's wheelhouse even if volcano magic is kinda a new one for him...

YA'LL really do. Can confirm after traveling with Hargreeves for a time and saving most of them at least once each

are you ready for the 10 ideas she's come up with for his briefcase whilst she was in the brig
she'll also call him on shit c:

Yes, excellent. He's made a glowing first impression, he knows, must bank on this rare occurrence before she realizes what she's gotten herself into.

Can't believe this is the one person in the whole game who knows about Hermione's experience with torture. Now that he'd finally understand why she has nightmares they're not even housed together anymore. SAD

Please take this as confirmation that I will continue to pursue the avenue of Hermione and Five are actually twins.

Trauma recognizes trauma?? Five got attached to Hermione in a weird way, so don't think he'll stop blinking into her room whenever he feels like even if they aren't technically roommates anymore. He's got zero concept of personal space so it's not totally unlikely he'd see her after nightmares ah.

They are fully twins, just waiting for the time they both say the same thing at the same moment and Five's family have that shared look of Concern. Turns out Five is just Hermione in 40 years.

Five is just Hermione in 40 years - brilliant, underappreciated, underestimated, full of trauma and coffee? Give her a week near his caffeine stash and she can be Five now, tbh. But oh yes good, thank you Sheep.

Pester her. She can start a lab again one day, and then tell him she's mislabeled items so he won't nick them. Make him a lil lab coat if he wants to be her brewing assistant.

Hermione is this really the goal you want to strive for? But yes, he will fully get her addicted to coffee and of all his vices this is probably the one you want.

That's fair. Five definitely never figured out that stealing her shit was part of his curse, it just made good sense to hoard things at the time and maybe he should keep that going. He'll suck it up and help because he really wants to know magic, it's extremely frustrating to not be the best at something. She understands.

she'd like to claim the moral high ground about the hoarding issue but her bag's enchanted to fit a billion things and she literally robbed a library and is hoarding books, food, clothes, etc.
so like
maybe she won't

At this point, I just want them to double up unda da sea and punch a shark together

Is that an option?? Five just blinks to wherever Wangji is to punch a shark, that seems like just what this fever dream needs.

Five just randomly teleports wherever Wangji is, interrupts just as Wangji's about to get shark bit, punchhhhhhhes, a great success.

You're welcome, Wangji. Now you owe him two favors.

guess what five, Moran actually likes you.

Five would be surprised to hear! Moran is too smart and has too much dirt on him, so he's still going to be keeping an eye.

But in general, he appreciates how he's morally rational and he's been weirdly understanding of his little mishaps. Just come at him the next time you want to rob someone, it'll be like old times.

Listen, you trying to kill him and him liking you are two different things that he is smart enough to know not to conflate. If he took murder attempts personally he'd never stop.

He's trying very hard not to uncle you because he knows you're older than him but you're making it hard.

In Five's defense, he is older, but he is in a body full of teenage hormones and he has severely stunted social skills on account of being alone from age 13-50-something. And he has a super-mild case of insanity that's barely worth considering, but the point is there may be a tiny chance that he doesn't always make the best choices or know what he's doing.

You'll never hear that from him, but he's at least doing a little better about not doing everything himself. Baby steps.
