CR With Me | March 2015

GUYS GUYS I REMEMBERED THE BIMONTHLY MEME IN THE CORRECT MONTH LOOK AT ME GO

hey! it's time for a cr with me meme! Welcome to the spring edition of the CR Meme! Now that we've gotten settled into the new storyline, it's time to start heating things up in the big turtle city. For players who've joined us since our last meme, these ~bimonthly memes are our opportunity to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're looking for your characters. Because of this, we do ask that you be as specific as you can when replying to this meme! 'Our characters should team up to moon Tu Yunxu' is more useful than 'omg tag me.' We have two helpful sections titled "Current Status" for a summary of what your character's been up to, and "CR Goals" for the plotting and discussion of gaps in your character's CR spectrum that you would like to fill! We've also got a section for indicating what kinds of CR you're especially looking for, as well as types of threads you're not interested in. ALSO this month, we have a special addition called "4th Wall Plans", in case you want to talk about or be enabled into some ideas you have for the upcoming April 4th wall event. Want to inflict extra chaos on Keeliai, but not sure who to bring? Link your muselist!

Yes hello please more.

My one trouble is I would love an excuse for China to have an actual thing she needs/wants Callaghan to do for her and I have no idea what that would be right now? And when she doesn't have a particular drive she isn't always social.

I love our potential but am bad at plot and am very sorry.

Hey you 8)

I think he might start asking her a bit more about magic; I have some thoughts on my own [ex; is it possible for magic to duplicate an item? what about shield/protecting, how does that work?]. We can probably end up with her learning about the microbots, too, and him going on about what they're capable of [hence the previous thoughts].

Or we can go with China directly; what would she want? Callaghan can essentially 'offer' knowledge, and a degree of power if/when he gets his school up and running; that's something I still need to work on OOCly, but the gist of it is that he's going to try and set up some sort of open lecture/learning/etc for the kedan and basically anyone who wants to go, for *useful* things like science and technology as opposed to history which may or may not apply to all people. (But if people wanted to run their own history classes he wouldn't stop them, it just wouldn't be *his* focus.)

[ruinsprofessor]

Oooooh. She'd be pleased he wanted to learn, I think, and willing to teach esp if he can be okay with it being magic. And oh man learning about the microbots. Color me on board. That was something you wanted to mostly not have shown about, also, right?

Mostly what China likes is having knowledge and power, and while she has those in and of herself, the influence and reputation part are things she kind of misses. That's a pretty excellent plan for Callaghan, though, and if I figure anything more concrete out rest assured I'll let you know soon's possible

[pushtheboundaries]

No way to get over his bias by diving deep down, right?

And yeah, he wanted to, but it's one of those things that I OOCly think China could keep secret; and Cal, well, could/would be convinced he could trust her with only so much effort.

What if she ended up getting a position that the school-thing? Considering it works and that anyone could learn it, I don't see why he'd be against it being taught...

[ruinsprofessor]

Oh, she could keep it secret. ... Whether or not she'd use it as leverage, especially if he's actively trying to keep it hidden, that's another story. Probably. And if we have mysterious incidents of microbots in the nighttime the chances of China letting Skulduggery know are pretty high. But apart from that, yes. :P

And she has actually taught before, in-canon, so it's not completely out of the question! I think she'd be a bit picky regarding her students, and would be more suited as a tutor than in offering actual open classes, but that'd be interesting to play with.
