CR With Me | October 2016

[ironwood]

hey! it's time for a cr with me meme! Welcome to the newest edition of the CR Meme! For players who've joined us since our last meme, these ~bimonthly extremely sporadic memes are our opportunity to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're interested in for your characters in coming months. 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. --- CR With Me Form: <div style="font-family: Impact;font-size: 30px;color: #bf0206;padding-top: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;">PLAYER NAME HERE</div> <font face="georgia"><b>CHARACTER:</font></b> Name / <user name=""> <b><font face="georgia">CANON:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">CURRENT STATUS:</font></b> Optionally, you can give a quick rundown of what your character's been up to in the game and their short-term goals. <b><font face="georgia">CR GOALS:</font></b> What's your dream CR to obtain this month? Do you want to work on developing current CR or splash into something new? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DOS:</font></b> What sort of things are you looking to write with this character? Are you a prose sort of person or action spam all the way? Do you prefer network interactions to face-to-face? Do you like angst, fluff, drama, plot-based scenes, all of the above? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DON'TS:</font></b> What sort of things are you a little more lukewarm about in regards to this character, or would rather flat-out avoid? Do you absolutely hate writing negative CR? Would you sooner chuck you laptop out a window before you write one more slice-of-life thread? All those considerations can go here. <b><font face="georgia">ADDITIONAL:</font></b> Anything else you might want to add that doesn't fit into the above goes here.

Sooo, Valdis and Kylo and the Cultists, right? And Kylo needs influencing towards the dark side?

I think we can work with that. Also, I might have a temporary solution to Valdis' problem that Kylo can help with. :P

Starting with the Cultists, how exactly would he try to convince Valdis to let him 'help'? She's hard to fool but I'll bet we could figure something out. She could pretend to believe him, or she could begrudgingly allow him to help for some reason. Maybe tries to manipulate him into getting information for her. That might toy with his dark side a bit.

Due to her issues with the Void, she might actually act more like who she used to be as it chips away at who she is, something I find very interesting and it could be fun to explore. This might apply to Kylo as well because they could inadvertently feed each other's darkness.

Also, if Kylo wants to 'Destroy' Valdis, I am totally down with that. In fact, she might purposefully push him to do that hoping for a 'reset', which could give her temporary relief from the Void, except it doesn't and that could also be fun. Plus, Kylo would get to see more of her power, namely the resurrection portion.

And I'm going to stop now, because wow I have a lot of ideas. :P

*rubs hands* Okay, let's see... So many wonderful ideas!

Ooooh, very interested in how he could help with her Void problem! I mean, he would certainly be very eager to help - wouldn't want to miss the chance that she owes him a favor!

I'd love to see Valdis acting darker, that could be very fun to watch and yes, I can certainly see them fueling another's darkness. Letting him help with the investigation to get information from him sounds good - maybe she also wants to keep him from investigating on his own? Better to keep him on a tight leash.

"Destroying" her oh my xD That could be so interesting, especially if she's pushing. It would take a lot of pushing since he's been so careful not to slip up, but Valdis would be a prime candidate for making him finally slip.

[redlightgreenlight]

Valdis wouldn't outright ask him to help, but she would definitely push him over the edge if she can. A 'reset' is when Valdis dies, but the death purges impurities and, in theory, causes the Void to back off for a certain amount of time. I'd kind of love for Kylo to learn to learn that Valdis can resurrect herself and that she can shift into a giant hound. Though he's probably heard about the latter, very few people remain who know about her ability to revive herself.

But yeah, she'd totally use Kylo in that manner, feeding him bits of information in exchange for what he has and letting him help, mostly solo of course, she doesn't want his temper to reflect poorly on the rest of her forces.

She could probably excuse pushing him to reveal his powers as a test to see if he really was strong enough to 'join her.' I'm kind of planning a thing where she drifts closer to the darkness because it eases the pain from the Void.

[no_light]

*rofl* Probably wise, you really don't want him and his lovely temper associated with the police force

Yes, that would be a good way to push him to reveal his powers. And then he lashes out and she gets her reset..

Oh my, two deaths at his hands, the excuses would start to wear thin (and Raine is gonna kick his ass so much for controlling your temper)

[redlightgreenlight]

Yay! Ok, how do we want to set this up? Valdis wouldn't want to make a scene, so she might contact Kylo privately and set up a meeting in a more obscure place. She doesn't want people to know what she is doing anyhow. (Don't worry, she won't tell Raine and what the Healer doesn't know, won't hurt anyone :P )

[no_light]

(lol yes Kylo is a big fan of not telling the healer)

Yes, setting it up like that sounds good, though if it would help I could also have him contact her. he's gonna come crawling out of his little crisis mode and so contacting Valdis about cultist things would be a logical next step.

[redlightgreenlight]

Oh, yes, that would work too! I have a catch all if you like?

[no_light]

Sounds good! I'll hop on that!
