HANDWAVED CR MEME

Everyone gets busy sometimes! RL stuff happens, motivation to RP drops, or sometimes you've just got too many threads already and you know your limitations. This is a meme to fill in some of those "off-screen" gaps with interactions your character could/would have logically had with others! It's a wonderful way to round out CR and maybe figure out just what good friends (or terrible enemies!) your character might be with someone else, outside of landmark interactions that have been threaded out.

Interactions have been divided up into some basic categories below! Reply to each header with what your character has been up to in that subject, and then tag around to the people you think they may have run into. Discuss and prosper! ♥

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Have a roommate or bunkmate from camp that you haven't gotten to thread with much? Have some neighbors on your same floor that you'd like to work out something with? Talk about your character's living space routines and what they've been doing with that here!

A lot happens on missions! So much to RNG, so much to thread, and somehow so little time! Talk about what your character was up to on various missions and find some interactions with other Reclaimers that you never got to thread out.

Can be either classes at the Academy on the Moon Base or classes your character has set up themselves (For example, routine training.) Talk about your interactions with teachers and classmates here!

Does your character have a habit or Thing that people probably would have noticed them for? (For example, Sans and his snack stand.) Talk about those Things here! Maybe you've secretly got a regular observer or participant in these activities.

Work out interactions that don't fall into any of the above categories here!

If it's an average day on the Moonbase, Roxas can usually be found training with various weapons in the dojo or looking up stuff in the library.

Later on in the day, he can be found meditating/napping near the Director's statue in the quad or watching the sunset from the edge of the Moonbase. Heights don't really bother this kid, but ice cream would be a welcome addition to the activity.

Wash has been an attendee of Stop Dying 101 from the beginning (despite the fact that it wasn't mandatory yet); he's also assisting with combat class and running personalized combat training for a number of people - namely, the people who look like they don't already have it.

He's also in the dojo during the interludes. A lot. Sparring partners, anybody?

On the Moon Base, Sayori lives on Floor 5, Natura in room 505 with Sun Wukong!
♥ She doesn't invite people to her room very often (because it's often messy, which she is cagey about bc it's due to Depression, but she laughs it off as just being clumsy or lazy if it comes up.)
♥ She usually wakes up on the later side, between 10am and noon (and sometimes afternoon on bad days), so she usually doesn't come out of her room for the day until then.
♥ Sometimes she is up kind of late though she's not very noisy--the main things to notice would be footsteps, toilet flushing/water running, and lights on.
♥ She would absolutely introduce herself to her Floor 5 neighbors! I think the only opportunity to say hi to most of them would have been in the days before the camp interlude and the days before they departed for Etude in Blue, unless they came in during or before the app round that she did!

At camp, she was in the Bard cabin!
♥ The most important thing to note is that she would have gladly taken a bottom bunk (due to not wanting to disturb people because of occasional insomnia but again, she'd be cagey/flippant about that.) Similar to the above, sometimes she was up kind of late, trying to be quiet and usually writing or sitting/wandering around outside.
♥ She was a bit of a messy roommate--most of the time her mess was contained to her own bed and trunk, but sometimes she'd put things down on communal surfaces and forget about them. Clothes on the floor occasionally escaped her notice. She was always very apologetic about this.
♥ They're all bards anyway but she would have gladly used Prestidigitation to clean her roommates' clothes if they didn't want to do it!
♥ She was a total glutton about communal food, but she'd always say thank you and would have brought back snacks and junk food to share.
♥ She would have been very about Group Activities like icebreakers, storytelling, and games!
♥ She had no qualms about changing clothes in front of roommates (though not to full nudity.) I'm very sorry.

Sayori's Thing is, of course, poetry.
♥ She pretty much always has a pen and notebook with her, and lurks around in various quiet (and sometimes not so quiet) spots to write. She really likes the kotatsu room and the Quad, particularly near the formerly-whomping willow recovered from Maru, where she has also mounted a nice copy of a poem that tells its story.
♥ She is always delighted to share what she's working on with curious folks! She's also happy to explain what she knows about poetry and encourages people to write their own stories if they have an interest in it.
♥ At camp, she told a spooky ghost story in poem form that went over pretty well with the haunted busts!
♥ She became famous in Lyrabar for her poetry and so spent a lot of her time there involved in performances. She did street performances before being discovered by a producer there; during this time, she would gladly write a customized rhyming quatrain for fellow Reclaimers at the discounted price of 3G (or 2G and a tasty snack.) I will write these for you if your character would have bought one, if you don't mind being patient with my turnaround on them!
♥ She requested that others with bracers like hers be allowed into the swanky venues where she was performing after becoming a celebrity, so fellow Reclaimers were welcome to attend!
♥ Some samples of her poetry can be found here. If they seem like they're about mental illness, they are, but she never discusses that openly if asked about the subjects of her poems. A poem will mean different things to different people, after all!

Roxas attends class fairly regularly and does his best to be a good student (he'll do homework but it might be a little under the wire). He also goes to Brad Bradson's meditation classes, though that usually results in him falling asleep.

And some days he just wants to go skateboarding.

On the moon, Michael lives in Natura 501! He's alone at present, but I imagine that'll change.

- He pretty much never invites people into his room because he's still weird about the concept of having a bedroom? Or any private space really?
- He keeps odd hours, seeming to stay awake as long as he possibly can before crashing at a fairly random time of day and then sleeping for like sixteen hours.
- Despite this, he doesn't make a lot of noise, so he's not likely to wake anyone.
- Houseplants. He has them. He may not actually know how to take care of them but he definitely has them.
- He's friendly! He may go bother other people who are awake at night if they're open to that, because he gets bored and lonely. You know, like a toddler or a cat.

At camp, he was in the Sorcerer cabin!

- were any of the other sorcerers actually staying in the cabin because it sure didn't seem that way

Michael might want to chat if Sayori is also up late at night! He didn't have a physical requirement for sleep before he got here, so he still tries to avoid it when he can because it's Wasteful and Maybe Scary.

There wasn't a lot of time, but Alex started taking some classes back at the Moon Base, after the lunar interlude. Mostly it's theories of magic, theology stuff. Also basic history of the world. Things that, hopefully, he could use to be prepared for the mission! ...Ha.

Anyway, he's not a super diligent student? (That'll change.) But if you took classes like that, you might've run into him, as he started those up as soon as they got back from camp.

Eleanor doesn't have a roommate anymore so she is even more botherable at all hours of the night than she normally is

— McCree lives in Ecclesia in Room 303 with Chiron. Soldier: 76 is two doors down and doesn't have a roommate, so if Whit's cool with it, I'll bet McCree spends some time chilling in 76's room until the old man gets sick of him and boots him out.
— He doesn't really have a lot of stuff in his room, but what he does have he just kind of kicks under the bed and has to go rooting around for later.
— The man likes to sleep in and has mastered that "just rolled out of bed" look. Mainly because whenever you see him, he's just rolled out of bed.
— At camp, he was in the Rangers and Rogues cabin and he found a journal while cleaning that showed how to make potions to protect against status effects. He passed the knowledge on and hopefully it helped a few people.

— McCree was with Maya when she tried channeling the spirits of Vista Virs and their rage and threats of revenge scared the crap out of the two of them. Might have been a bit noticeable when Maya used her bracer to warn everybody about the spirits.
— McCree's that dude who fell off Maru and went splat. Some people were concerned about that.
— On this latest mission, McCree had a dolphin companion and could be seen riding around on it. He even beat Wash in a race where Wash was riding a giant seahorse!

— Since losing the sight in his left eye from his resurrection after Maru, McCree gets easily spooked if you silently come up to him from the left and he doesn't sense your presence, so characters may have seen him be jumpier lately.
— McCree smokes a lot. Usually cigarettes as he waits for the Fantasy Costco to get in a supply of cigars. So he can be found in the Quad smoking throughout the day. At night, he usually is in the cafeteria having a drink of fire whiskey while rolling up his shirt sleeves because the whiskey turns him super hot for a few minutes. Beyond that, he can be found in the dojo practicing with a bow or (since the loss of his depth perception) practicing his aim with his revolver.
— McCree acquired a guitar while in Lyrabar, so for their last few days, he can be spotted strumming it as he tries to refamiliarize himself with playing it. This will roll into him multiclassing as a Bard!
— Also he's that dude that unironically dresses as a cowboy, so maybe that's noticeable, idk.

Would it be okay if McCree spent some time asking Sayori about the things she can do as a bard? He was information gathering, you see. Also, he would have listened to her poetry while constantly stressing that he doesn't really "get" poetry at all, but it sounds real nice.

ELEANORRRRRRRRR pay attention to HIMMMMMM

Yes of course!! Sayori alternates between insomnia and oversleeping (heavier on the oversleeping side but that can cause insomnia later...) so if he came knocking while she was awake she'd hang out with him! They can go get a late-night Bender snack! Also if he told her he didn't need to sleep before she would think that is so cool and probably have a bunch of goofy questions like what did he do instead of sleep and did he ever get bored while not sleeping.

Yes that is perfectly fine!! She would have told him everything she has learned about being a bard so far! Though the main thing she knows is that your performance doesn't have to be perfect as long as you really feel it in your heart. If you believe in what you're performing, the magic will happen!!!

She'll also tell him probably more than he ever wanted to know about poetry. I hope he doesn't mind listening to explanations of meter and rhyme and the effectiveness of different writing styles for different things.

time for an unable-to-slumber party? time for an unable-to-slumber party

they're just a pair of needy cats at 2 am who suddenly decide they desperately need attention instead of just zooming through the halls at mach 12

That is 100% what they are and they should definitely do this

On the Moon base, Roxas lives on Vero 405 with Dave Strider.

- He tries to keep his side of the room neat but that only goes so well.
- He's a light sleeper and tends to move to the Common Room if he's having a bad night/can't sleep.
- He's used to having a room to himself so he tries to be a good roomie.
- There's probably a pile of books that he really should return to the library.

At Camp, he was in the Fighter Cabin

- He helped repair some of the beds
- He probably helped Hayner deal with Beacon

Honoka is livin it UP on Floor 1, Regius in Room 104! She's sort of?? Tentatively?? Shopping around for a new roommate because Sans is nice but living with A Guy is making her Incredibly Stressed.

She keeps surprisingly regular hours?? And gets up weirdly earlier than you'd expect from Honoka – she's usually up and about at around 7ish, maybe half eight if she's having a really lazy morning. Something to note is that she's almost always up out the door not more than half an hour after she's gotten up. Honk has places to be!!!

At camp Honoka was AT BARD HOUSE!!! She was a very high energy and honestly probably a little obnoxious roommate and for that, I sincerely apologize. She had a good time though and if you hung out with her at camp she has probably been treating you like the two of you are best friends ever since.
