✵ PLOT WITH ME: FEBRUARY 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 (event will have its own plotting section as always). 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.
Player:
Contact: Preferred means of contact

Character: Character | Journal
Canon: Include canon point
About: Just brief info that might be useful for others to know when trying to join up for quests or other things.

Plans: Any quests on the Dreamboard take your fancy? Something else you have in mind for the month? Initial thoughts for the upcoming event? Lay 'em out here.

Etc.: Anything else or, you know, the usual memes.

IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CHARACTERS, create your own toplevel and comment with each character separately to it. Include your name in the subject line. Although not specifically included, you are more than welcome to write up a greeting message along with the form!

Yes! And would love CR with Yujin, I think it'd be super sweet!

[rokubro]

Alastor

STAY AWAY

FROM MADHURI

SAVE YOURSELF!!!

[rokubro]

Yessss he definitely wouldn't mind learn a few new things and maybe even try to have a keyblade of his own..maybe...

[sciencesquid]

Haha, well, we can always try and get it back later! Do you think Luca would have different feelings regarding Otto's actions if he were to find out about what the tentacles are doing to his brain?

[professorbestie]

Awww, same here! Let's make it happen! I hope to put up a catch-all post for Yujin soon, so I can work in a greenhouse prompt.

[lonelysmiles]

Madhuri, you say. Perhaps I should go introduce myself~

[lonelysmiles]

Alastor will notice and help keep Sora corralled if he goes into rage form. He's doing it for Namine's sake, not because he actually cares, of course.

That and he's curious how shadow powers manifest in other places.

[lonelysmiles]

Tall, stylish, red-and-black motherfuckers are a grand lot. I can see why you'd want the Knight to meet Al. XD They totally should.

I can give you a crash course in what I like to call "Helluva Hazbin" lore if you'd like or I can recommend a guy on YouTube who's made dozens of videos dissecting the lore. Honestly, you can watch the Helluva Boss web series on YouTube without ever watching the Hazbin pilot. They share the same world so you can get up-to-date worldbuilding from Helluva as they work on finishing Hazbin's official release, but honestly we're following two separate groups who just share the same world. Unless there's ever an official crossover event, the most you can expect to see are sly little references to one show in the other. Like the Angel Dust poster slipped into the background of the Lust Ring in Episode 7 of Helluva Boss even though sinners like Angel are limited to the Pride Ring.

EDIT: Also here's a link to February-specific stuff if you're interested in that.

[lonelysmiles]

Excellent~ We'll have to figure out where to run into each other.

[lonelysmiles]

I'm sorry I took away science frog. D: Maybe these two can meet up again? He doesn't do science, but he would probably be entertained by watching her just geek out.

Depending on how things go moving forward, I might try and bring back Azmuth in the next couple of months. I just got swamped, no pun intended, and he's always been less sociable.

[lonelysmiles]

HELLO! Alastor's bestest best friend Rokurou suggested that Alastor introduce himself to Madhuri who is supposed to be super cool and 100% totally didn't tell him to run far far away. XD

I see a mutual interest in cooking. What are Madhuri's thoughts on creole food?

[abyssbound]

I'm going to be putting up an open top level within the next few days that might work for that.

[lonelysmiles]

Wonderful!

Near the end of this month or the beginning of next month I might put up the next part of Alastor's "Day in the Afterlife" dream series if Asura would like to hit up that or backtrack to Part 1.

EDIT: Here's also a link to February-specific stuff if that will help get the noggin' joggin'.

FEBRUARY-SPECIFIC PLANS ADDITION

[lonelysmiles]

Because I'm an amazing idiot, I forgot to add in stuff for this month's events. Feel free to pull ideas from this, too.

Rising Crime

Alastor doesn't sleep that much so you might find him out wandering the streets in case you run into trouble. He's used to the everyday evils of crime in Hell so it's like a little bit of "home" to him. Right now he's a little sad since one of his buddies is gone (not that he'll admit it out loud) so he's kind of wandering around and observing the petty crimes going on. Still, he will step in if someone weak is in trouble.

Bleeding Hearts

Alastor might accidentally create a Bleeding Heart because underneath the smiles, jokes, and general assholery, he's a very lonely man who's been pretty much isolated for decades. He wants to make connections but he can't bring himself to ask, instead forcing his presence upon others. I asked the mod squad about it and it seems they aren't purely romantic love-based creatures. I figure the character who gets that lovely Bleeding Heart snacking on them will feel that hollow emptiness of an observer outside the system wanting to be a part of it but unable to take that first step.

As far as getting infected goes, Alastor probably wouldn't have a Bleeding Heart hanging onto him for long. He's a twisted thing, and love is difficult for him. He can care about others, but as much as he wants the closeness, he instinctively holds people to the five-foot rule in more than just the literal sense. Though expect a Bleeding Heart that's temporarily latched onto him causing him to become super clingy and very hissy if you try to force him to let go while he's still "under the influence". Also expect a very overprotective deer demon if something threatens you while a Bleeding Heart has possessed him.

He is very interested in shadow powers from other worlds, so he'll likely come sniffing around if there's someone possessed in the area. He'll either observe how things play out or step in if he feels it necessary.

Lindwormeo and Juliet

Not sure if he's going to participate in this one at all. If he did, he wouldn't be part of the main couple. He'd be the guy watching it all play out, knowing that this is super doomed, and watching others scramble to futilely try and change fate. This has potential for negative CR with him given he'll be very blunt if he gets the chance to point out that there is nothing that can be done.

Dream Board

Witch's Brew Apothecary

Alastor is big on voodoo and that includes a lot of rootwork. He's going to chip in to assist because it's a potential in-road to expand his magical expertise. The potion for dealing with erasers is an added bonus.

Cupid's Arrow

Shockingly, he's not going to be the one slinging these arrows around. However, he is available to be a victim of the arrows. Either he can be directly shot by someone (maybe in an attempt to make him less of an asshole) or he could be the target of someone who's been shot's whacked-out affections. Guaranteed comedy gold!

Spider's Thread Traps

Hey, might as well make good use of these. Go out to clean up the traps, mercy kill creatures that are not likely to survive due to injuries or what not, and then have tons of jambalaya to potentially share. Win-win-win!

And if the irresponsible hunter shows up, well, he'll deal with them, too. "Stepping in to help the weak" isn't limited to sapient creatures. He's a responsible hunter even if he is a monster. Overhunting screws over everybody.

[songbird_slayer]

Whyever would anyone give a silly warning like that? It's fiiiiine.

Maddie has never had creole food or anything equivalent back home, but she would absolutely love it and want recipes, especially as something to warm you up on a cold day. It could be the perfect addition to her dreamotion-infused food project.

[lonelysmiles]

I know, right? People are so judgmental.

Swapping recipes would be a fun thing to do. Plus Alastor would be interested in your thoughts on dreamotion-infused food perhaps to cause a little chaos

[stupidmammon]

I haven't gathered my thoughts about what I want to do with Mammon this month, but I absolutely love this sweet old man and would love to have more interactions between these two :'>

[multidisciplinary]

\o/ Heck yeah! They made potions during Halloween; they'll definitely nail this quest.

I'm currently thinking I'm going to be doing an open log soon, most likely with a few of these prompts. I can also write a specific starter for Anya if you would prefer?

[multidisciplinary]

I'm always saying science! What sort of shenanigans is Luca getting into this month? I haven't yet perused anyone's comments on this meme yet.

[spirialink]

That sounds good to me!

[multidisciplinary]

Zelda is bummed that her grumpy tiny mentor is gone, but she will make do. Did Azmuth leave behind anything he was working on? Perhaps Zelda could try to pick up where he left off on something.

But as far as Alastor, I would love for him and Zelda to meet again! He absolutely needs a blonde princess in his life to pester. TBH I think Zelda is convinced he was actually a figment of Asura's dreamscape way back when, and the two of them also have a lot of overlapping CR with the demon brothers.

[lonelysmiles]

If Zelda would like to go searching around Azmuth's old home/lab, he'd rather you be doing the raiding than someone who'd just ransack the place for what's most valuable. (MAMMON.) He did leave behind basic notes on his study of the power crystals. I made a few IC posts on dreamcrystals which she can use as the basis of his observations and what-not.

Again, I hope to bring him back in the next few months. If Azmuth does come back, he'd love to see Zelda's progress.

As for Alastor, yes, he does need to pester her. Because he is absolutely a real thing, and it makes me giggle for longer than five seconds at the idea of her thinking he's just a dream illusion and then there he is grinning at her in Reverein.

[flamekthunder]

Yesss as a former Ice King (well still kind of is to a degree—Chilled King? /rimshot) he knows when it's time thaw a bit. Definitely looking forward to see how they get along!!

(she should one day meet all his dogs and judge him hard—)

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh yes please, that would be great!

[voidbug]

Oh, I am a bit familiar with Helluva Boss, even though I have never seen those either |D. I had no idea it was part of same universe though.

Hell yeah let's go break some spider traps.
