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.

JUNE CR MEME

o1. Reply with your shiny character pitch or fill out the form below to help find your character an arch-nemesis/long-lost friend/tinder date.

o2. ~~Comment around~~ spam, baby, spam.

o3. There is no profit.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Have your pick of one of the four plot rolls below, with more details forthcoming on 22 June. If you’re signing up, you should be available to play things out with your quest-mates between 22 June-5 July.

To sign up, respond to the respective plot roll comment with SIGN-UP in your header by 18:00 GMT on 21 June. If you want to participate, but would rather do so in a supporting capacity, just chat with folks who’ve signed up here, or when the full quest details are disclosed.

As a heads up, we’ll need at least two sign-ups to carry out a plot roll. If a roll receives more than five sign-ups, we may need to RNG a character who takes plot-relevant group decisions for that plot roll.

There are also two NPC thread options to be carried out over 22 June-5 July. A 'lucky winner' will be decided via RNG. Priority for these two NPC threads will be given to characters who are not participating in a plot roll.

Please try to have your character ask plot-linked questions during their NPC thread, and share any information gleaned with the class!

THE SUNKEN

The silent, dark and opaque waters of the Crossing seas clear out to reveal underwater wreckage and numerous fallen ships, including the beautifully preserved sunken vessel Vernalis. Vicious, but intermittently sluggish mermaids guard the perimeter.

Objective: dive in for a magically-facilitated underwater exploration to retrieve the captain’s logs of the Vernalis. Cut your way through rows of murderous mermaids, when they sleep. Learn their strange fixation with this part of sea.

Quest type: exploration, action / adventure.

THE DISSENT

The winds of the Crossing dull down to a whisper, effectively stranding the two pirate vessels at sea and subjecting them to supernatural occurrences. Quicksilver Sam’s newer crew aboard the Pariah weather this well. Caladan Kreil’s sailors show signs of open dissent and mutiny, questioning Quicksilver’s wits and Kreil's own designs for agreeing to this escort mission. Talk of mutiny stokes.

Objective: calm down the spirits of the pirate crew aboard the Queen Zanyra. Distract sailors through entertainment, performances, spirited speeches. Fish pearls or ~~fake~~ create goods to appeal to their financially-sensitive hearts. If need be, discreetly show them out of the brig or ease their time there, when Caladan Kreil orders them jailed. If all else fails, power the sails.

Quest type: diplomacy, entertainment, bust-a-brig.

THE CONCORD

The lightly-charred Concord of the Dawn’s Reach Trade Company once more appears in the distance. Quicksilver Sam asks a select party to deliver two gifts to the Concord’s captain, hoped to shake the vessel off the pirates’ trail.

Objective: travel by boat as a peace-bearing delegation to the Concord. Snoop and learn as much as you can about the vessel and the Dawn’s Reach Trade Company before meeting commander Maximillian Hawk to present the Pariah’s gifts. Prepare to escape the Concord quickly after.

Note: this plot roll will keep participants physically off the Queen Zanyra and Pariah for several days. Characters can still speak to the group via communicator.

One person participating in the roll will be selected to speak to Maximilian Hawk via RNG. Please list in your sign-up comment if you also want your character to be considered for that.

Quest type: action, espionage.

THE PRIESTS

The priests of the Pariah jump to answer the deathly presences within the Crossing with sophisticated exorcism rituals that need additional support from the crew.

Objective: enter communication with the spirits through the priest rites or your own magic or necromancy. Appease them by performing various ‘final tasks’ on their behalf. Learn what drew the spirits to the Crossing and what they experienced in their final days alive. Potentially find out where the sun has gone off to.

Quest type: magic, investigation, emotional revelations (this may be one of the sadder quests, on account of interacting with spirits of crew who passed away in the Crossing.)

To sign up for a NPC thread, please +1 under the NPC’s name by 18:00 GMT on 21 June. The thread will be carried out between 22 June-5 July with a character selected via RNG.

Priority will be given to characters who have not signed up for a plot roll.

Please try to have your character ask plot-linked questions and share the ‘results’ with the class after.

Ask anything not linked to the plot rolls, please. Thanks!

Okay okay I'll give you something: Eda could use some more adult friends, though she's always ready to adopt herself some kids too. However I also really enjoy antagonistic and belligerent CR. Perhaps someone to bond over being ~~disabled~~ cursed with? Fellow chaos gremlins?

CHARACTER & CANON: Ken kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Cute friendly cannibal who sometimes flips his shit at the smallest of things. He also has tentacles that come from his back. They are not friendly, tho.
HOW THEY END A TERRIBLE DATE: By threatening to break half of your bones
THE (SPITEFUL?) THOUGHT THAT GETS THEM THROUGH THE DAY:He has to go back home so he can die THERE, not in this world.

WHAT’S THE EASIEST WAY TO…
...IRRITATE THEM: threaten any of his people really. Otherwise, it's hard to, he smiles a lot.
...EARN THEIR AFFECTION: be polite (it's that simple, yes)
...SHOCK THEM: also be genuinely nice, Kaneki isn't used to affection )=

WHAT SHIP DO THEY MOSTLY HANG OUT ON? both. Kaneki has constant insomnia and now that he has been given a delightful fortune, he just wanders around both ships.

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Having very interesting talks with Caladan. he is also now eating the left overs of the undead that roamed through the ship during the TDM. Kaneki has also taken upon himself to cook because he is surprisingly an excellent cook. Also, due to insomnia and the fortune, kaneki usually passes out in the most random of places when his body just gives up and forces itself to shut down.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT:
- Kaneki will be entertaining the crew by telling stories he has read, and even re-enacting some of them. Join him, join him. if you want to talk to him about books OH BOY OH BOY that's his favourite thing.
- If anyone wants to find out Kaneki sleeping/passed out in stupid places and positions (like doing the laundry), i'm all for it.
- Wanna meet a cannibal? Find Kaneki chewing on the bodies of the dead that he kept to eat during the journey. Delicious and disgusting. Possibly an health violation as well.
- Honestly, this guy needs friends. Actual friends. He is a goddamn mess.
- I don't know if it's possible, but at some stage I REALLY would love for Kaneki to lose his absolute shit. The problem is that if he does, he will attack people indiscriminately and he will need to be subdued which is also difficult. But yeah ONE DAY i will make kaneki lose his mind and it will be glorious.

CHARACTER & CANON: Daenerys Targaryen (ASOIAF)

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Lost princess births dragons back into the world
HOW THEY END A TERRIBLE DATE: Sending the guy away on a diplomatic mission that may take months.
THE (SPITEFUL?) THOUGHT THAT GETS THEM THROUGH THE DAY: She doesn't need a spiteful thought. She has her dragon with her. Everything is happiness.

WHAT’S THE EASIEST WAY TO…
...IRRITATE THEM: Call her dragons "murder lizards"
...EARN THEIR AFFECTION: Show genuine kindness and compassion for others, especially the smallfolk.
...SHOCK THEM: Tell them you're a god

WHAT SHIP DO THEY MOSTLY HANG OUT ON? The Queen Zanyra

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Dany's living her best life. One of the things in the book that shows up a bunch is Dany wishing that she could be a sailor. She loves being on ships and sailing. So this is the chance for Dany to live her dream. The crew on the Queen Zanyra seem to have adopted her dragon and view him as lucky, so she's hanging out with them and getting to know all of the men. She's digging for treasure and keeping an eye on Drogon, since he's the alarm system if there is danger.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I don't have specifics. Just adventure. When things start going south, she wouldn't mind a partner to investigate or explore or fight side by side with.

CHARACTER & CANON: Licyn Mansbane, all Original, all the time unfortunately or not

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Flirtatious werewolf mercenary has survivalist tendencies and will definitely sleep with any willing one of you.
HOW THEY END A TERRIBLE DATE: ... I mean is this before or after someone gets laid, when was the terrible run into, this is important--
THE (SPITEFUL?) THOUGHT THAT GETS THEM THROUGH THE DAY:

WHAT’S THE EASIEST WAY TO…
...IRRITATE THEM: Be a blowhard???
...EARN THEIR AFFECTION: Are you alive and not part ghost or actively attempting his deliberate murder? Congrats you have his shallow affections!
...SHOCK THEM: Be made of magic, be part evil ghost, attempt to kill him on purpose???

WHAT SHIP DO THEY MOSTLY HANG OUT ON? Queen Zanyra, though he will come across to the Pariah if it's advantageous for him in the moment!

WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Frankly up until things got hinky he was working on sleeping his way through the willing crew so. He's also helping with tasks around and keeping limber and ready for the Fights, because that's about what he's good at offhand and he's trapped on ships and can't run away from these terrible odds, thanks everyone.

CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT: I love Licyn making genuine friendships! Also since he does casual sex easily but is allergic to sex with feelings I'd also love anyone who wants a casual lay to end up being a friend and SUDDENLY WE'RE PURITANICAL HERE?! He's got emotional issues with loss and tries to keep himself from caring Too Much to not end up Aggrieved. It works great. (It doesn't.)
