▶ MAKE FRIENDS, INFLUENCE PEOPLE

Welcome to our CR Meme page!

We intend for this meme to remain active throughout gameplay so that as new people arrive, they can hash out connections that came before their game play begins, as well as plot out new game play. Specifically, this could also be a good venue to find ship crews that are looking for new crew mates, and for prospective crew mates to find new ship crews.

Please fill out the form below for your character, and then comment around to other characters! Also be sure to check back as more people filter in.

▶ BLOOM

▼ OOC CONTACT
Your name: Cee! (again, hello)
Contact: [plurk.com profile] Ceeeee (again again, hello hello)

▼ IC INFORMATION
Character name: Bloom
Canon: The Brothers Bloom
Job/Role: playing cards and drinking a lot while he regrows his hair and cries about his brother.

General Reputation: can be summed up in one word: mopey.

Bloom was unplugged from his Matrix just about four weeks ago, so he's just now getting his Zion legs under him and exploring what it means for everything to be unwritten and very very real... and kind of freaky scary in the worst/best way. currently he is very overwhelmed.

Looking For: He has absolutely no one and he is no one and I am ready for anything!!! He'll have a lot of questions, but outside of confusion and general moping, Bloom doesn't have a lot going for him. He's a bad friend, he would make a terrible crew member, he's really only very good at acting and lying, he has a lot of quiet issues, and he doesn't do well with talking to people in real settings... but if you can get him to participate, he's a hell of a con man.

Notes: for the thousandth time: fake blood tastes like tinfoil.

Acting and lying are two things at which Captain are very good at, too! In their matrix, Captain rose from test-subject to... well... Captain of a kind of paramilitary due to their own good luck, bluffing, and general seeming competence. (Usually simply yelling and degrading everyone around you works great if they believe themselves to be cogs in a machine!)

While Captain is by no means your average well-grounded citizen, drinking and playing card games sounds like a delightful activity to pass the time. Cap's only six weeks out, so they're similarly newbie-scruffy. If Bloom every meanders down to the Temple region, Captain's been employed by priests there to do mundane tasks... but they often slip away for more interesting shenanigans. We could have established CR from the last couple of weeks of Captain taking Bloom under their wing to talk about how reality isn't real. Captain could probably fake sanity long enough for an interaction or two, though of course there are probably lots of odd tells that suggest they're not wholly on their rocker.

AND NOW FOR ACTUAL CR.

I think this sounds fantastic actually. Bloom is pretty hardcore normal despite all the crazy con stuff he's done, and he's pretty good at calling bullshit on people acting or playing a part (because, hello, expert here). but he's also totally out of his depth and confused so it might take a little longer. between that and Captain faking sanity I think we could def have assumed at least a few conversations or something, especially since they're both pretty newly unplugged & might have run into each other.

soooo yes, basically, is what I'm saying. I can definitely have him down in the Temple region too, since he's pretty shiftless and lost and not super interested in training for stuff, I think he'll be wandering a lot. if we have some pre-established CR it will be easier--not that he'll seek Captain out but just that he might mope in that general direction. and then try to avoid conversation but also not try to avoid conversation.

also he kind of misses the madness so even when he figures out Captain is a little nuts he might put up with it. in frustration. but still put up with it. 8,|

I've been scraping together other newbie unplugged's and this whole cardgame night seems like it's kicking off! You can expect potentially previous CR with Kennex, Dean or Sam (maybe both, I can't remember!) Octavia and Jay -- anyone else is welcome to expect heckling from Captain to show up and learn the rules, of course~!

If these two bump into one another around the temples, that sounds excellent too! Captain's been volunteered for the strange mission for plot!1 but I'll catch you with them when I get a chance!

Crowley's also been out for about as long and is a pretty bad friend. Look at all the things they have in common! Really, though, I think there's potential for something interesting. Crowley's an odd mix of technical honesty through verbal loopholes and ruthless manipulation when it suits him and I think these two could either get along swimmingly or really screw each other depending on where their interests lie.
unwrit: (Default)

[personal profile] unwrit 2015-03-02 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
oh my god, the CR I never knew that I wanted until now.

yes, to all of this! Bloom would actually kind of know what to do with someone like Crowley and how to behave around him since he's used to loopholers and manipulators. some of his best friends are loopholers and manipulators. so, perfect, yes.

I mean the demon thing is a little weird but let's play cards since we just got out of rehab, bro

The demon thing probably won't come out right away, so that can be a surprise down the line if you like!

[personal profile] unwrit 2015-03-02 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
hahaha yes. perfect. what do you do when you've kind of made friends with a guy and you play cards and stuff and then one day he's just like "by the way, used to be a demon". no amount of living could have prepared anyone for answering that.

basically I'm excited for all of this.

also dear bloom please teach this creepy weirdo how to play cards so he can join this card game.

they can also bond over not knowing who they are without outside input and being mopey. although bucky is not as mopey, he could actually prod bloom to do something useful with himself out of a desire to help once they’ve bonded a little, but still. no sunshine or rainbows here.
unwrit: (Default)

[personal profile] unwrit 2015-03-02 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
YES.

that's all I have to say about this. yes. timing-wise, I think they would have been unplugged at a similarish time and so going through rehab time at a similarish time, so there can be some base recognition at least that we can use to spur us on to further CR.

no sunshine and rainbows, just cards and possibly a weird friendship (??). I love it.

We've got to work on that moping thing.



I'll come back tomorrow and be more useful.
unwrit: (Default)

[personal profile] unwrit 2015-03-02 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
no the moping thing is fine the way it is

I'm just really excited for this reunion. I have zero plans except Bloom would be looking for Stephen like through the whole process of recovery and all
and he's not going to the rave unless someone lets him sit in the kitchen and play cards, preferably alone


but let's work something out I'm sssso excited
dostoevsky: (Default)

[personal profile] dostoevsky 2015-03-02 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'M MORE EXCITED.

Or at least equally as excited.

WE COULD:

1. Have them run into one another completely randomly, possibly in that kitchen you mentioned.

2. Involve a poor unsuspecting third party who knows they both like cards get them into the same room for that reason.

3. Say Stephen asked a few NPCs to let him know if a mopey nose with arms and legs attached ever shows up & already knows Bloom might be around now & is on the hunt.

4. ?????????

Runs in circles.

EXCITED OLYMPICS
THIS IS ME RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND YOUR CIRCLES


and thank you for coming up with several options for me but god all have their merits how do I choose

but I lean toward 3 personally because it implies that Stephen has some NPC contacts which seems really fitting. I guess it could be PC contact(s) too if we want to involve someone else? even just a namedrop or something.

and then I guess we can do some random encounter based on that? OR 3 + Stephen designs some great reveal for himself because what's life without an entrance amirite

miss the hats tho bro

[personal profile] dostoevsky 2015-03-03 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for ignoring my incoherency/typos. It's hard to run in circles and type at the same time.

3+!!!!!

"Great reveal" probably kind of difficult without a hat to tip down over his face and slowly raise or any control over the lighting system and probably widespread disapproval of intentionally setting fires in the city, but it can at least not be random. Maybe he'll break into Bloom's apartment thingy while he's off moping elsewhere and wait with his feet up. That's not an invasion of privacy or anything.

[personal profile] unwrit 2015-03-03 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
I forgive you your typos forever for making all this possible


and you are correct there's too many wild cards to do this right. please break and enter instead. what else are older brothers for.


LET'S DO THIS

[personal profile] dostoevsky 2015-03-03 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
WE'RE DOING IT


I will put up a starter when you least expect it, if when you least expect it is tomorrow.

Jay and Bloom can drink and mope and play cards together. Jay's fantasy-Russian, he's got this moping-drinking-playing-cards thing down.

[personal profile] unwrit 2015-03-02 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
perrrrrfect yes. that is exactly what he needs. with his brother around Bloom will be slightly less mopey but he kind of defaults to quiet moping so... mutual moping is still very much a go, brother or no brother. and he's used to big personalities even if he's a little impatient + skittish at times, don't take it personally. just keep playing cards thanks.
