✵ PLOT WITH ME: AUGUST 2022 ✵

Welcome to Songerein's Plot With Me Meme! It's an abbreviated version of the CR Meme where the main focus is figuring what you want to do for the month, such as listing out which quests you're interested, any personal plots you have in mind, and initial thoughts on the event. It's similar to a CR Meme, with just a little different focus on the form. You can refer to the Mod Announcement for plotting ideas for the month and beyond!

If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

EUSTACE | GRANBLUE FANTASY

[flamekthunder]

Player: Laena
Contact: laenavesse; discord: laena#7354; PM; feel free to add me on any, no need to ask!

Character: Eustace
Canon: Granblue Fantasy; post Ramen Travels With Cassius and Avalon CRAU

About: Typical stoic, aloof, silent elite agent soldier lone wolf type with the biggest soft spot for all things dog. His ideal is to live a life filled with peace and quiet, and so he fights to protect not only his peace but others as well. Eustace can be a bit rough around the edges, but he's softened up and can be amiable with those he's grown to trust and care for. Often compared to as a "guard dog" he is fiercely loyal to those close to him. He is skilled with guns, short blades, and grenades with his favored weapon being Flamek, a special rifle that can unleash lightning.

For some other random tidbits, that hairstyle isn't just for looks—his right eye is sensitive to light. Normally it's not a problem, but when there are sudden bright flashes that he can't prepare for, he can be temporarily blinded on that side. He does have an eyepatch he can wear though it's only for certain combat situations. As an Erune, the dog-like ears on his head are very real, but he does not have a tail. Also as an Erune, the fashion choice of open sides and backs is the norm— More detailed info can be found here!

Event Plans: Most likely will toplevel because everyone knows I have control issues. Some prompt ideas I have at the moment (and will be finalized once log is written up:)

• COSTUME lord you have no idea how tempted I am to have him as Toto and have him be a cute Scottie LMFAO. Would it be too much of a stretch if he could also transform into a big doggo/wolfie for fighting— If not Toto then... Lion maybe? OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS.
  
• Scene recreation I can most likely throw him in for something.
  
• Rescuing and fighting are a good bet
  
• Not sure about the dream projector. HE HAS GOOD DREAMS but he's private person soooo— he doesn't want another one visible so soon thanks

Don't really have anything particular thought out otherwise, so I'm open to any special thread plotting!

Dream Board Plans: Do I dare make an open log.... Some quests that he could do:

• Dealing with windy stuff. Given that he's been wanting to work with wind element, this could be an opportunity for him to try and counteract it...or make things worse because he can't always be perfect
  
• While he won't partake in actual kite gliding, if anyone is stuck on a runaway flight he could probably help.
  
• Electric Eals are a definite as he'll recognize them from his world lmfao.
  
• Zoology survey might be something he could maybe help if someone is around the beach while he's out dealing with the eals. Or if ask directly. Otherwise I don't think I'll have have a specific prompt, I might just tack on a "bonus" thing with the eals.

That sounds about iiiit.

Personal Plot: TWO THINGS one is there will be a pet party of sorts that Sheila will be putting up with Tifa. BRING ALL YOUR PETS.

Second thing is I have a personal plot thing for Eustace planned for beginning September, either right before or after the apps are processed. Bad things are going to happen that will turn him into a noctaere ah ha ha. This will be an isolated thing so the greater part of the population won't be impacted at all, so it's mostly geared to close CR or anyone who knows him and Tifa, but open to new folks who'd like to pitch in and help. Since it's more of a closed thing, I have the details written here in his journal, and anyone interested can opt-in by commenting! Helps give me a decent head count so as end of August draws near I can figure out who's doing what and where.

Etc.:

Anastasia Romanova | Anastasia (1997)

[grandduchess_anya]

Character: Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikoleavna ‘Anya’ Romanova of Russia | grandduchess_anya
Canon: Anastasia (1997)

About: Anya is a very fictionalized version of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, who managed to survive a family tragedy with amnesia and goes on a quest to find her identity with two guys and her dog, while avoiding being attacked by a vengeful Rasputin and his green minions. She can be snarky AF, but she is also kind, loyal, determined, and creative in her art and thinking skills.

It is also worth noting that Anya comes in from the end of Forgotten Tales where she was among the Aspects fighting off the Story Eater who arrived to Songerein when it tried to flee from them during the last battle.

Event Plans: Anya has the roleplaying part down to a T thanks to her time as an Aspect in the Realm of Stories and her RL self being described as a really good actress by many family and friend accounts. She will be the Scarecrow: plagued with a desire for smarts and a tendency to make farming and scarecrow puns, can light parts of her body in fire (intentionally making herself flammable, get it?), and gets to fight with a rake. Any suggestions for Scarecrow abilities are welcomed.

She will fight those Winged Monkeys and rescue the civilians and dump the special water on those witches as well as contributing with positive dreamshifts to power up that emerald.

Dream Board Plans: I could have Anya go for Watch the Wind, but I can toss her at any quest you character is interested in.

Etc.: Literally Anya in this adventure:

Ira | Kingdom Hearts

[iracorn]

Player: Megan
Contact: urbaninja or PM

Character: Ira | iracorn
Canon: Post KH3
About: Ira is an Keyblade Master from the Age of Fairy Tales, which is the earliest known point on the KH timeline that also fed directly into the Keyblade War. Also he might have helped start that. Whoops.
For those familiar with the now ended mobile game, he was the leader of the Unicornis Union and we have an aesthetic to uphold.

Personality-wise, Ira is rather serious and a lot of that tends to carry over to all aspects of his life. He's trying to lighten up a little though, and the reality is he's kind of a giant nerd who will probably ask lots of questions if you give him the opportunity. He's certainly not ignoring any sort of trauma or is in need of a hug.

Event Plans: Ira will be toplevelling for the event. He's been having a lot of concerns lately, so I'm thinking that he will take on the role of the Tin Man for this adventure. He will be eager to help though, so fighting off creatures, and rescuing citizens will be his priorities. But it will also be a good time for him to find some positive memories, especially since he's been having a rough time as of late and worrying about the state of his Heart.


Dream Board Plans: Looking potentially at Watch the Wind and Coastal Zoology.
With Watch the Wind, Ira has been practicing with his dreamotion and the Aero branch of KH magic, so there might be something fun to play with in that. And flying livestock is always funny.

Coastal Zoology would be a good chance for something chill and relaxing or possibly a fight against a giant squid! I'm open to all possibilities, but it might be a good chance to draw Ira out of his shell. He's been kind of closing himself off lately.

Ira will likely have an open log in addition to the event log, to accommodate all of this and I am open to specific starters.

Etc.: Coming off hiatus so let's do things!

Beatrix | Final Fantasy IX

[roseofmay]

Character: Beatrix | seditiousrose
Canon: Disc II - Post Cleyra's Destruction

About:
Impressive military general with a rather hard exterior, but a considerably softer interior, chained to her past of servitude and loyalty to her sovereign. Beatrix is a difficult woman to get to know, but may be worth the effort, given she is adamantly dedicated to the causes she believes are just and right. She does not mince her words, tends to be straight forward, and is an all-around no-nonsense type of woman.

Event Plans:
- I really want to put her in the role of Cowardly Lion for the event as it's very unlike her normal demeanour. (Clearly... with lion ears and a tail.) If you ever wanted a chance to save her, for once, instead of her trying to play hero, this is an excellent opportunity to do so. It's just one more excuse to make her a bit more vulnerable and inclined to rely on others where she otherwise would be hard-pressed to do.
- Given the status of Cowardly Lion, it's very likely she may be a touch apprehensive to involve herself fully in combat, rescue, or anything she might otherwise deem as dangerous. (A stark contrast to a Beatrix who normally throws herself right into the heart of things.)

Dream Board Plans:
- Relatively flexible here, but I think Beatrix might be inclined toward lending a hand to offer the electric eals a better fate than being excessively eaten and dealing with further population issues.

Etc.:
- Not quite sure if I'm going to do a catch-all this month. That is still up in the air for me. Am planning to TL for event.
- I've been wanting to do a dream recording detailing how the effects of Burmecia and Cleyra, her role in their respective falls, and so on, just to showcase these things I always discuss in narrative and Beatrix really doesn't discuss.
- Please do not eat her chocobo. That's pretty much it. I expect this chocobo to be a spoiled brat and quite possibly it will go and eat other peoples' plants or other destructive behaviour because Beatrix has failed to discipline it.

Shigeru Miyata | Original Character

[mysophobic]

Player: Levy
Contact: plurk @ pathogenic | discord @ levantholos#4601

Character: Shigeru Miyata | mysophobic
Canon: Original
About: Shigeru is a mute mysophobic phrobiest from a world that's similar to Earth but has a lot of differences. Phrobiests are people whose bloodline has been cursed by the felled Dark God Malnemnious and the curse grants those with it powers based on specific phobias. The more phrobiest use their powers the closer they are to losing control and essentially turning into eldritch monsters under Malnemnious' command. Despite all of that Shigeru is pretty happy/chipper and tries to make the most of his situation. He's rather shy due to his phobia/upbringing not really allowing for early socialization when he was younger. Phrobiests are also somewhat shunned by the general populace due to their monstrous origins and overall strange position in the world. They're used to fighting monsters but also become the monsters they wind up fighting, so a lot of people don't exactly want to associate themselves with them.

Shigeru is a healer and was part of a special ops team back home before getting pulled here so his medical training is topnotch and his fighting skills are pretty good as well. He fights with sword and shield and he's basically a huge worrywort for his team. He's also very good at cooking, drawing, and sign language!

Event Plans:

Tin Man; I will probably be going with this for his character since I find the idea of him wearing a cheaply made cardboard costume amusing.

Rescuing/Fighting; I'm here for all of that! Shigeru will help with the medical aspect of this prompt and if people need a heal/save he's got you!

Projector of Dreams; If you want to see his past and a few friends of his there are a few prompts I can use for this. Also finding out he has a crush on his best friend so that'll be awkward for all parties involved, yay!

Dream Board Plans:

Spicy food challenge; Shigeru loves spicy stuff so he will definitely be here for it. He also has an unfair advantage given his healing and body's overall disposition to eliminate anything that might potentially be harmful to him. But that's really cheating is it??

Zoological survey; Shigeru will be there to record/draw all the strange creepy crawlies this place has to offer. He might want to take something home with him as a pet, but please don't let him do that...or do.

[fishflakes]

I wouldn’t mind developing some more CR between Toge and Shigeru! Would love to keep doing some more sign language practice, and maybe they could do a quest or event thing together sometime?

Roxas || Kingdom Hearts

[twilightskey]

Character: Roxas | twilightskey
Canon: Kingdom Hearts, Post KH3 (Aefenglom CRAU)
About: The Nobody of the series protagonist, Sora. He is more introverted and melancholic than Sora, can be broody at times, and can be cocky and quite quick to anger depending on who he is interacting with. Not as big a fan of being “the hero” as Sora, he would just rather have some time to be a regular kid and eat some ice cream. But despite this, he has a fierce loyalty to those he considers friends and wants to do what he can to protect them, and does enjoy meeting new people and discovering new things. He’s had to deal with being what other people wanted him to do, and now he’s going to things for himself.

Event Plans: I am actually really kinda feeling this event for Roxas! I’m probably gonna try to top-level if I can. Some specifics:
- I’m on the fence as to a costume for Roxas, but I am thinking either Toto or Lion for him! I think both can be pretty fun, especially with the personality adjustments
- Roxas is always down for combat threads! Rescuing citizens, fighting foes, any of those are good!
- Roxas will also be channeling positive dreams into the emerald, so if folks wanna spend some time in a Twilight Town dreamscape, now’s your chance!

Dream Board Plans: Honestly just sorta skimming the dreamboard right now, at a cursory glance I might throw Roxas at kite gliding or coastal zoology survey, but I am open to any other prompts or ideas folks wanna chuck his way! Open to both old and new CR alike!

Character: Character | Journal
Canon: loz:botw | late-game, before fighting ganon
About: Local roll guard dog has, unfortunately, been disallowed from living in a tent in the yard. News at 11. Seriously though, Link's favorite things are cooking, doing really dangerous adrenaline junkie stuff, and outdoorsy things like camping/hunting/foraging/fighting monsters.

Event Plans: Oh geez. I'm not totally sure yet but I'm open to ideas! I'm considering either scarecrow (for funny effect), wicked witch (he'd probably be good at it), or tin man (because botw is sad 8( ). Much of what he'll be doing will be rescuing people and fighting monsters, which makes me think wicked witch would be really funny, since...bad guy doing good guy things... Anyway, I might toss up a top-level, but since I did one for the last event, I might also just stick to tagging out. If anyone wants Link somewhere, please let me know!

Dream Board Plans: HELLO LINK WOULD LIKE TO DO ALL OF THESE QUESTS. Most interested in kite gliding (or you can race him: kite gliding versus his paraglider??), spicy food challenge (he may or may not cry but dammit he will FINISH THIS CHALLENGE), and zoological survey. As for the electric eals, i'll admit he's VERY CURIOUS ABOUT THE TASTE (oh my god i'm so sorry about him. just so sorry) but could definitely be swayed into doing good and helping stop the reckless fishing practices.

If anyone wants to join him, I'm open to either tagging into some logs or putting up catch-all prompts.

Etc.: Beatrix told him a bit about this Wild Harvest place, too, and with his interest in cooking (...and eating), he'll want to check the place out.

hello!!! i definitely am still interested in these two meeting; she works at the harvest so it sounds like we can and should definitely make this happen c:

Trahearne | Guild Wars 2

[pactmarshal]

Player: unkie
Contact: unkie or find me on the discord!

Character: Trahearne | pactmarshal
Canon: Guild Wars 2, post Heart of Thorns
About: A cool (?) plant guy who is first of his kind and once served as military leader in the forces against his world's greatest existensial threat. Without either of those things here in Song, he now has to figure out who he is at his core. That doesn't mean he isn't still a workaholic! sucks for him

He always strives for the good of the people around him, is generally kind and patient and a great mentor, if a little awkward. He has spent most of his life alone just--just bear with him a little bit, okay?


Event Plans:
I'm so excited for this event. I think I'll have a little toplevel and then do some tagging around to make up for it!

Trahearne will be a lion because he's a coward, and I'm excited to finally come up with new leaf clothes for him to make him look like a lion he will look AMAZING and FABULOUS and he will positively hate all the attention it will draw to him. The good in him will spur him on to try and save people and fight creatures, but his cowardice being amplified will be difficult. That could be fun. And maybe acting. He sucks at acting.

He will for sure be contributing a happy dream to the dream projector! It'll be of what he considers the happiest day for his home world (and by extension, his own life). This works out great because I drafted up a dream on this very instance not long ago, so I'll just rework it. A short, sweet, and fun little dreamscape! Come party.


Dream Board Plans: I will actually be scant on this front since I plan to be away for part of the month and will mostly focus on event stuff because of it. But one stands out--

- Spicy Food Challenge: Because you don't spend most of your life in land that grows very little, of which are ghost peppers and not walk out of there with a tongue and stomach of steel. I mean, come on, this guy literally picked up some choya meat fresh out of the choya corpse and ate it and didn't think it was weird. He might even ask for seconds?

Would Trahearne like to hang out with Alastor eating spicy foods at the Wild Harvest?

[lonelysmiles]

Character: Alastor | lonelysmiles
Canon: Hazbin Hotel, right after cooking jambalaya for the hotel residents at the end of the pilot
About:
Alastor is a demon from literal Hell. In life he was a radio broadcaster and serial killer with a penchant for cannibalism. He died and went to Hell, eliminating all of the old Overlords upon arrival. He himself then decided to just let others take the territory and do whatever entertained him...only after nine decades he's gotten pretty bored of Hell.

He likes to screw with people and takes delight in others' suffering. However, he has a warped moral compass that compels him to protect the weak. He's taken to traveling to various people's nightmares with the idea of being entertained. He'll step in when he thinks it's not being fun anymore.

Plans:
General Plans
Alastor is slooooowly working his way towards becoming a guardian though he'd never admit to such a position. He likes hopping from nightmare to nightmare to witness all the fun forms of torment but if someone is weak, he'll step in due to his moral code. He can't be relied upon to save you but as time goes on and he starts to care more, he could at least be counted on to pull people out of jams.

I also have a series of dreams based on the official Alastor comic which allows a character to walk a proverbial mile in his shoes if you're interested in that sort of thing. There is one more part left to go, but I’m not sure when that will be posted. Though mind the key content warning: This is Hell from the prospective of a cannibalistic serial killer. Not Nice Things can and will happen.

Honestly, he needs more friends. Being the boogeyman of Hell means that he doesn't get much socializing in. Arguably one reason he bargains in souls is to collect people who won't leave him. He's used to having people flee before he can even finish saying "hello". Redemption is a big theme in Hazbin Hotel but it's doubtful that Charlie's more idealistic measures will really work for him. He's lonely but his social skills are hella rusty.

Fair warning though: Alastor picks favorites but he's a pretty amiable (if kinda terrifying) person all around. Once he's decided you're one of his favorites, he'll invade your personal space every opportunity he gets though he won't let you touch him unless it's on his terms. So be prepared to be pulled in for random side-hugs, song-and-dance numbers, and other such nonsense.

Unfortunately, he's starting to get into trouble. All these trips into nightmares are going to drive him to full noctaere form sooner or later (current tentative timeline is October), so he's definitely going to need people to snap him out of it.

Month-Specific Plans
Spicy Foods? Spicy Foods!
Definitely going to drop by the Wild Harvest. He's gotten a taste for curry and he hasn't tried the ramen. And this month will have spicy varieties. So a nice place to kind of hang out for him and bump into people.

Stalker Corgi
So Aerona, one of Eustace's corgis, is now stalking Alastor. She's an adorable little red pupper, but Alastor...is not a fan of dogs. Enjoy some hijinks.

Glitching
The Tin Man transformation will put a temporary hold on it since he won't be able to actually feel pain, but this is getting worse. He's making almost-constant trips back and forth to the desert to try and find more moon crystals and purify the ones he has since they're the only things helping with the glitches. As mentioned above, I'm looking for Alastor to go noctaere somewhere around October depending on the answer to a question I sent to modsquad, and the glitching is the result of him building up a lot of negative energy thanks to his nightmare walking and habit of poking the local noctaere wildlife.

Wizard of Oz Event
Alastor is going to be a Tin Man for the event. His voice is going to be extra tinny and he'll be made of metal, not flesh and fur. While he'll still be smiling, it's kind of a permanent fixture on his face rather than conscious effort. You think he's an asshole trying to scrape whatever entertainment he can out of things, just wait until you meet up with him in Heartless Bastard Mode.

It's not that he'll be especially mean or anything but it's mechanized apathy. If his smile wasn't frozen on his face, it wouldn't even be there. He doesn't feel anything except for that desire to have a heart. He isn't entirely sure why it's so important to him, but once he's got a friend or two, he'll come back around. Particularly for fighting foes because mayhem! He remembers enjoying mayhem! 8D

Dream Board Plans
Spicy Food Challenge!
He was already planning to enjoy the spicy foods. The possibility of helping suggest new ones to torture let others try intrigues him. Sign him up!

Sharktopusnado
He might lend his talents to help if only in the hopes they'll be launching real sharktopi into the air to terrorize people. Someone might want to stop him from having too much fun.

Character: Gina Lestrade | lestray
Canon: Post-Great Ace Attorney 2
About: An Actual Victorian Orphan who speaks with a Cockney accent. A former pickpocket who is now a fledgling detective, but still bares some instincts and skills from her former profession. She has snark and tries to look out for others. But she is also guarded about her emotions and slow to trust others. She’s improved on that front in canon, but can still be uneasy with new people. Also she comes with a little dog named Toby who is skilled at tracking by scent!

Event Plans: I am planning for Gina to take part in the event! Toby will of course be Totoby. With Gina, I’m thinking of having her as a scarecrow, although tin man could also be a fun way to play with her hiding her emotions. Generally up for most of the event adventures! Though she will be reluctant to share any of her dreams.

Dream Board Plans: I don’t have anything specific in mind for the Dream Board (although she will be trying out some spicy foods!), but I’m open to her joining in on shenanigans if anyone has anything in mind!

Etc.:

I have a log up for him with a few personal plots, as well as the spicy food challenge and the winds around reverein if either of those tickle your fancy.

Canon: Final Fantasy VII, post Remake
About: Quoting my first impressions meme on her permissions!

straight-forward and rebellious, aerith wears her mischievousness like a badge of honor. she's a spunky young woman and shrewd business woman, having spent a great deal of time selling flowers— as a naturally adaptable person, she's surprisingly street smart even though she definitely comes off as being very quirky.

Event Plans:

IT FUCKEN WIMDY

right now, i'm between dorothy or toto for aerith; dorothy seems more thematically fitting so i'm most likely to go with that role. that said, aerith's main concern will be getting into the thick of things immediately to fix the situation and i expect her to be doing some brawlin' when the going gets...going! that said, i think i'd love to have her running rescues with people.

her dorothy changes will be minimal but the ruby slippers are a must obviously. toto changes would be puppy ears but no tail, enhanced senses— ah, this seems to be a bit familiar........well, no one who likes [redacted] can call me out because it outs them for liking [redacted], too.

i likely will be topleveling, depending on how busy i am this month!

EDIT: ALSO, DREAM PROJECTOR IDEA: honeybee inn? who wants to go dancing.

Dream Board Plans:

watch the wind and sharktopusnado catch my eye; i'd adore for someone to drag aerith into the latter enthusiastically and for her to be the "uh, is this necessary?" voice in the background of the whole thing until she decides to have fun with it. i'll be throwing her at other people for this, so i imagine i can wiggle her into all of these easily.

she's team "pls leave the eals alone", though

Etc.:
the last week and a half have been rough for me timing wise as i'm taking care of some family stuff. with any luck, i won't be in the thick of it by the weekend, though, so i should be resuming my usual speed. i'm so sorry for the wait!

[stillarhino]

I wasn't able to tag you last month but I would still love for these two to meet. I have a log up right now if there's anything there that might work, but I'm up for helping Aerith out with Oz shenanigans and helping people out then.

Player: Kaito

Character: Rob | nulland
Canon: The Amazing World of Gumball, after vanishing in "The Future"
About: Rob was a background Jr. High School student for two seasons until he was deemed a mistake and sent to the Void. But he managed to come back when the protags saved another character who was removed from the show, which broke his character model. Left with no role, he ended up having to be Gumball's nemesis because no other part was open. He doesn't really like it, but has accepted this role. Also he knows his life is a TV show.

Event Plans: I know I want to do it! Not sure who, though. I feel like Scarecrow or Tin Man might work I think I'm going with Scarecrow if only because I think I can work in better one-liners in the style of his show. If your plotting needs one of them him, feel free to reach out! EDIT: OH right, I think he'd be good in Recreating Scenes and Fighting Foes, maybe Rescuing Citizens as he tries to figure out his role here. Even though Joker is his new nemesis. No, really.

Dream Board Plans: Since I got lifed out of seagull shenanigans last month, maybe he can do ridiculous things to try to stop the equally ridiculous flying debris in 801. Or something with Sharktopusnado because that is such a TAWOG thing to exist. Again, if you're looking for somebody, I may be able to help!

I never reached the season where Rob became a more prominent character but the fact that someone plays from Gumball is just amazing to me.

Character: Somnus Lucis Caelum | luciing
Canon: Final Fantasy XV, right after Noctis takes the throne (so almost end-game)
Permissions: Here!

About: Somnus is a 2k+-year-old king that has since been kept from death by having his soul locked in a magical-plot-Ring-purgatory. If asked, all he cares about ~returning the Light to their Star~ + fulfilling tHe PrOpHeCy + freeing his brother from his curse. He's the type of guy who only does what^{(he believes)} is necessary^{(as far as he's cognitively aware anyway)}. He's a very severe man, and he's been dead for most of his whole existence, so he can come across as a bit stiff/learning how-to-people. Deep deep down he actually cares about his family a Whole Lot, but fulfilling the Prophecy and saving the world is more important than any one Kingdom, family Line, or individual person.

Dreamwalker Form: Somnus' normal form is a (scaled down) 10' giant suit of armor, but his soul looks more human like this. For now, Somnus is staying more in the suit-of-armor form, whether dreamwalking or not.

Event Plans: WELL WEL WELL the tin man might be a great fit for him, but not just because he's a 2spooky ghost in a suit of armor. i'm more interested in putting him in this role so that he can think about having a heart (metaphorically). if the role influences the tin man's character for him to be more chill and not such a statue, then that could greatly push his character development to being more, well, human. maybe his more human self can reasonably make been shown, if someone is interested in that and/or helping this come about? IDK other than that he'll join in on any fighting, he's a fighty boi.

Dream Board: come at me brah for any of them.

Sakura Kinomoto l Cardcaptor Sakura

[keystaff]

Player: Caprica
Contact: PM or over on Plurk caprican

Character: Sakura Kinomoto | keystaff
Canon: Cardcaptor Sakura. Canon point from Clear Card's manga, chapter 30.
About: Sakura is a teenager who grew up near Tokyo in Japan in a town called Tomoeda in modern day times. She lived a perfectly normal life, barring her older bro seeing ghosts, including that of her mother, growing up until she found a certain book of Clow in the basement. Said book was magical, and with her inherent abilities, she was able to open it and thus accidentally unleash the special cards inside, called Clow cards, named for the magician that created them. This is what the series is basically about. Sakura needing to go around capturing these cards to set things right.

She is cheerful, optimistic and gullible to a fault. She loves sports and does cheerleading at school back home. The two closest to her - outside of her family of her brother Touya and her father (half of the reincarnation of Clow Reed) Fujitaka, are her bff Tomoyo and her boyfriend Syaoran. Alongside of course, her Guardians, Keroberos and Yue. Kero is under the power of the Sun and usually looks like a little adorable soft toy but can transform into a fire breathing, winged, flying and talking lion. Yue has a human disguise as Yukito and otherwise looks like some sort of pale moon based Angel type, essentially.

She's just recently got Syaoran back since he went back to Hong Kong for a couple years in timeskip with the original series. Clear Card literally picks up right when they reunite again, and has Sakura becoming way more powerful that she herself is making cards, based on her wishes/desires in the moment. even unintentionally, she did not initially even realize she was the one doing it.

Event Plans: What with the wind? Maybe? She might recreate Gale here? Maybe play Dorothy? She'll prob at least try help out where she can in helping say, get things back down from up high from the winds, at least during the quieter periods with Flight maybe? Otherwise, debating on her happy memory for the projector. Probably reuniting with Syaoran......

weh the paopu fruit though. I want. To do something with that but lol Nope. Not sharing one with anyone unless her boy is here!!

Dream Board Plans: She would prob help out with Flight for 801 anyway. And she would prob be keen to check out the beach again. So documenting/photos and notes of stuff there is prob not gonna take that much more convincing to get her there again.

oriphi | oc (d&d)

[hearthwarming]

Player: Anna
Contact: camerata

Character: Oriphi | druidcrafts
Canon: Original (a homebrew D&D campaign to be specific!)

About:
A soft, flowery tiefling druid who comes from your typical Fantasy Adventure World. This place has everything. It's got dungeons, it's got dragons, it's got froghemoths, it's got political intrigue, it's got sibling drama, it's got murder hobos a group of adventurers who stumbled into a world-saving quest together and tried their best but messed a lot of things up on the way.


Event Plans:

• I'll be sticking to tagging out for this event, so if any of the following things sound like something you want your character and Ori to get up to, please hit me up!
  
• She will be a cute lil Dorothy. Dorithy? Maybe even sans tiefling horns and tail? Whatever she'll look super cute in double braids even if the red shoes clash with her lilac skintone! She is here for any scene-recreation needs, although her Charisma score isn't great so like. YMMV.
  
• For Rescuing Citizens and Fighting Foes, I'd like to keep her focused on healing, so if you want team up to save some injured citizens or if your character gets hecked up fighting baddies, she's ready to help!
  
• Also open to any positive dream-sharing via the Projector!

Dream Board Plans:

• She's spent some time back home helping rebuild things post-dragon battles and such, so she's definitely up for helping repair and generally clean up with the Heckin' Wimdy stuff. Will probably include it as a prompt in an open log (see below)!

Etc.:

• With "Traveling" as a theme for dreams this month, I'm planning on posting an open log with one? two? dreams themed around her life as an adventurer! It'll be great especially if people want to "meet" her adventuring friends! There definitely won't be at least one monster involved. And definitely not a froghemoth.

Anyway,

[luciing]

would absolutely love to have another thread w/ these two!! i'll be keeping an eye out for her dream log

noé archiviste | the case study of vanitas

[archivists]

Player: Mad
Contact: koohii, feel free to add!

Character: Noé Archiviste | archivists
Canon: The Case Study of Vanitas, episode 24 / chapter 55.5

About:

Noé is a sheltered vampire who's very curious about Literally Everything and gets distracted by new interesting stuff all the time. Despite being a vampire, he doesn't need to drink blood to survive as it's treated more like alcohol or cigarettes in his canon. Noé is known to be a kindhearted, helpful fellow with a strong sense of justice. He's pretty straightforward as well, and if something doesn't feel quite right, he won't shy away from saying so directly. Still, he always tries his best to understand other people, their circumstances and motivations.

Event Plans:

■ Noé's role is going to be the Cowardly Lion, because there are times when he doubts himself. His cat, Murr, will be his best buddy the Hungry Tiger, because why not. I think it would be funny if he had a budget costume (think mop for lion's mane) while Murr could wear a cat hat. As for the powers, I'm thinking about something like enhanced/sonic roar and maybe changing his size, we'll see! Depending on the prompts, I might try something else too, but I'm pretty set on this role for him.

■ He'd try recreating scenes to help, the one in which he has to bite someone sounds like a fun one because he will have many second thoughts about doing it.

■ Rescue missions and fighting are right up his alley, he'd love to help the citizens, if someone would like to team up with him, that would be great!

■ Not gonna lie, I'm excited for the projector of dreams thing, I would love to write custom prompts with random dreamscapes for this for anyone interested.

Dream Board Plans:

■ Noé can eat basically anything with no consequences as he thinks all food is delicious, so spicy food challenge could be really fun. He's spitting fire from his mouth? Whatever, this is still delicious, give him more.

■ He's really interested in exploring and he gets lost like 5 times a day at least, so why not do the Coastal Zoology Survey while at it. It would be cool if someone joined him!

■ Not a dream board thing, but I'm planning on having him broadcast a nightmare featuring the statue of his best friend Louis who, let's say, didn't have the best time when he turned into a curse-bearer.

Etc.:

hello!! I would love to do more things with Beat and Noé. I have something up for the spicy food challenge if you're interested in that.

beat | neo: the world ends with you

[stillarhino]

Player: Mart
Contact: Riyuji#9693 on discord (feel free to add, no need to ask), otherwise dreamwidth PMs

Character: Beat | stillarhino
Canon: Post-Neo: The World Ends with You
About:

Obnoxiously loud, but ready to throw a punch when someone is in need. Beat is a skater boy who has had to play in a death game called the Reaper's Game technically thrice. Despite being a little rough around the edges and having the tendency to be aggressive and reckless, Beat is actually a big softie underneath the tough facade. He's 100% loyal to those he calls his friends and has a bit of a martyr complex, wanting to protect people who cannot protect themselves. Also if anyone just needs someone with big brother vibes, Beat is your guy.

Event Plans:

• Really rough ideas for this so far but I'm deciding between Lion and Scarecrow for Beat for the event. Open to opinions on that if anyone has any.
  
• Will probably not top-level as I have a catch-all post planned in the next day or two. Definitely open to tagging out, especially if anyone wants him somewhere in particular.
  
• If I make a top-level it might be dream-related, but that's up in the air until the log goes up.
  
• He will likely be out fighting monsters and rescuing people throughout the event. Totally down to scene recreation as well through tag-outs.

Dream Board Plans:

As mentioned earlier, I will have a catch-all for him so it will likely include the following.

• Helping out people because of the wind shenanigans.
  
• He will definitely be participating in the spicy food challenge! OPPONENTS NEED NOT APPLY, this is in the bag for him-- But no please I want dumb spicy food things.
  
• Maybe kite-gliding because this is the type of stupid stunt that he would get into. I'm still deciding if I'll have this in the catch-all.

If anyone has Sharktopusnado plans though, I might toss Beat towards you too.

Personal Plot:

Beat and Ema will be out exploring the wildlands in a couple of days and will be finding a new species of bird/batlike creatures. The name for this creature is still pending but they will basically look like Abyssal Chickens from D&D.

Beat is also in search of parts to make a skateboard and designing the deck of one as well so people might be able to find him working on that around Reverin.

Etc.: It was the boy's birthday yesterday! (08/01)

Meilin "Mei" Lee | Turning Red

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Player: Melissa
Contact: melcat33 (plurk) melcat33#1997 (discord)

Character: Mei Lee | itsgunnabe_mei
Canon: Just after her friends found out about the panda.
About: A Canadian-Chinese hyperactive preteen who's obsessed with boys! Also kind of paranoid about being absolutely perfect, mommy issues, good heart and can turn into a giant red panda when she gets overly emotional. As one does.

Event Plans: Will probably TL, but not a guarantee. Because she has issues with facing her mother and is afraid of what people will think of the mother, she will be a Cowardly Lion! ... and because she's anime-influenced, probably will wind up wearing a cat-girl outfit. Nya.

Dream Board Plans: Kite Gliding looks fun (at least to her it does) , as does the Spicy Food Challenge so she can get a chance to suggest her dad's dumplings! Open to the other quests, these are just the first ones that stuck out.

Re: Meilin "Mei" Lee | Turning Red

I demand Oz shenanigans! Cute waddle cowardly lion. He will protect you from the monsters.

Angel Dust ♡ Hazbin Hotel ♡

[itsytitsyspider]

Player: Sugar
Contact: goddessofsugar or ask for my discord. Feel free to add me on either

Character: Angel Dust | itsytitsyspider
Canon: After Pilot
About: Angel Dust is a literal sinner demon from Hell. At first Angel comes off as sarcastic and sassy with a crass sense of humor. He doesn’t seem to take things too seriously, defaulting to his crude humor to brush anything that flirts with being serious off. Though his flippant behavior may make Angel appear to be callus or jaded, he uses his porn star persona as his sword and his shield. Usually his flare for the dramatics is his way to preemptively protect himself from someone getting too close. He is not afraid to hurt someone else's feelings to spare his own. But if you stick around and dig through his bullshit, you will find him to be fiercely loyal would literally commit full murders for you.

General Plans:

So I have this over arcing character timeline for Angel. This month will be his last "happy" month before September where his withdraw is going to flare up. SO I want to us this month to get as much CR with people as I can. Planning on having a dream recording being tossed up this week that takes place at the club in Hell Angel works at. There is a potential for drugs or alcohol if you look for it but otherwise I won't touch it. However Angel is going to be the main entertainment. By entertainment, I mean he will be pole dancing. If you're cool with that, feel free to enjoy the show haha.

Besides some one on one stuff I need to ask other people about, I think that's my only big open post that isn't tied to event shenanigans. If you want some one one one stuff, let me know.

Event Plans: Oh man, I want to do it all.

Costume wise Angel is definitely going to be the Scarecrow. Though he will cause a stink saying he's more of Dorthey. Mainly cause he wants a cute dress and a harem.

I'd totally be down to recreate some scenes, book or movie, depending on who wants in on that action. Must admit I'm a little foggy on the book...

Despite Angel over all... jaded personality, you van beat he will be down to kick some ass. And maybe rescuing some people. He didn't save ya on purpose! He ain't soft!...

If anyone else was thoughts about what you want to do, toss them my way. I'm dow for anything.

Dream Board Plans: So these are just my general thoughts:

Watch the Wind!: Just think it might be fun to do some storm shenans. Somehow talk Angel into putting all his hands into good use. He does have 6 of them. Think of all the repair he could do. Idle hands are the devil's workshop, you know?

Spicy Food Challenge!: IDK, if Angel knows he could wish for any food he misses from back home, sign him the fuck up!

Coastal Zoology Survey: Angel actually loves animals. Just had a funny thought of Angel wanting to check out cute animals but realizes he got conned into doing 'nerd shit' and not wanting to write a report. Doodles horrible in his notebook.

Electric Eals: Aggressive new sparky friends? Yes.... Just yes. Eals are friends, not food. He will tame them

Etc.: Just as an FYI, my work schedule has been crazy busy. But my week vacation is coming up, though half if it will be spent in Osaka. So heads up on my weird response times.

[lonelysmiles]

Angel, Alastor swears to Satan you will regret using his ingredients as toys.

Also potential shenanigans during the event? Alastor is going to be pretty unemotional at the start because "if I only had a heart"

Goro Akechi || Persona 5 Royal

[herewardbound]

Player: Lox
Contact: Plurk or Discord, either way

Character: Goro Akechi | herewardbound
Canon: Persona 5 Royal, immediately after the final Palace
About: Minor content warning: If you haven't interacted with Akechi, I've jokingly described him as 'Worst Boy' and 'Ren's pet jackass' for very good reasons. He's... difficult to get along with. But I'd love to shove him right the hell out of his comfort zone and make him socialize with people :D

Event Plans: The Oz event sounds like such an absolute goddamn trashfire. I'm here for it.
Akechi, very much against his will, will be thrust into the role of The Scarecrow and, hating being told what to do on principle, may out of spiteful rebellion drop himself out of The Wizard and into one of its many, many retellings. Not that he'll intend to do the latter. You may find him dressed as Fiyero Tiggular, or other famous reimaginings of the character, but he's certain to be very annoyed by it either way.
Might actually go for the Wicked Witch herself if I'm allowed, but I feel like she occupies a very specific part of the story already and that might not be kosher.

Dream Board Plans: None yet, but I'm going to be adding some more catch-all stuff relating to his ongoing struggle with Dreamotion, probably spend some time dreamwalking, and screaming angrily at the heavens because he has long hair and it's going to be windy.

Etc.:

[lonelysmiles]

Would love for Terrible Deer to meet Worst Boy. I couldn't figure out how to make the nightmare thing from last month work.

It'd be funny for them to meet in Oz when Alastor is still a heartless Tin Man only to reconnect later when he's back to his usual boisterous self who enjoys ignoring others' personal space.
