CR/Plotting Meme
First one of the new year, let's go.
CR/PLOTTING MEME

As usual, here's the form for you:
So just fill that out and poke around at peoplewith a stick. Make plans for new CR, plot things for existing CR, collect mun contact info, or some weird combination of all of the above.

Name: Alex!
Timezone: EST
Contact: PMing any of my character journals or commenting here is fine!
What you're looking for: I think this month I'm going to be looking for a little more spontaneity when it comes to my roster; I know "slice of life" gets something of a bad rep, but I'd really like to do some CR-building in less-than-dramatic ways this month, particularly in anticipation of Prom, when presumably my characters will have the opportunity to meet in person all the people they've been befriending over the past few months! I'm thinking largely of doing completely average things played hilarious — butt-dialing people, getting obsessed with Tetris or the newly-released Poffin Poker, stupid Pokemon shenanigans, people randomly getting chased by bees, drive-by fruitings...just dumb quirky stuff without too much hefty plot attached, but that makes for a good basis upon which to build deeper interactions later!
Character
Name + Journal + Series: Carmen Sandiego (
Location: I think she's actually in Vermilion right now, and heading to Celadon in the very near future.
Blurb: Carmen Sandiego is the world's greatest thief; she's an icon of 90's edutainment and exists to make you learn shit without even realizing you're learning shit. She's Wikipedia before Wikipedia ever existed, and she puts that knowledge into your head through gratuitous amounts of really hyperbolic thievery. Character-wise, she's classy and brilliant and an incorrigible flirt, and she loves to show off her own skills and see others put theirs on display. Lately she's been undergoing a fair amount of character development that's been teaching her to be slightly less of an accidental sociopath and a little better at behaving like a decent human being, which is never a bad thing, but she took a few hits to her ego in order to get there so I imagine she'll be taking some time to get her confidence back up to scratch for the next month or two, now.
Plans: She needs to challenge for the Vermilion badge, which is why she's in the city at the moment, but after that my goal is to have her travel around and visit some of the people she knows in person, so if you're part of her CR (or want to be!) and would like a visit from Carmen as she roams the world, let me know and let's set something up!
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Her last post is fairly old, and a Zack post besides, so here is her phone post, and we'll see if she gets a new and fresh post up in the next couple of days. Also, feel free to request that I tag her into stuff, if you want her! o/
Name + Journal + Series: Parker (
Location: Goldenrod City!
Blurb: Parker is her canon's world's greatest thief and she is very, very good at what she does. The problem is, she's really kind of only good at what she does, and socializing does not generally fall under that umbrella. She's quirky and blunt and doesn't have a whole lot of tact, misses subtle social cues, likes direct solutions to problems, and is desperately in love with money. She's also currently attached to the Dangans and has been spending a lot of time trying to rehab Ishimaru, so there's always that to take into consideration, too.
Plans: ...Okay, look, I'm just going to put this out there because I have no shame — does anybody want to attempt to date Parker. I know this is a super weird thing to ask for but given that it'll take a little while to build up CR to the point where she might say yes (or get coerced into it)...WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO TRY because I think it would be funny as hell and apparently that is the theme of my CR meme for this month.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: Phone post! But I will also cheerfully have her tag into things upon request.
Name + Journal + Series: Kyouko Kirigiri (
Location: Goldenrod City, but I think she's going to head to Saffron and then Celadon soon.
Blurb: Kirigiri is a Japanese teenager whose Super High School Level talent (that is, the unique quality she's particularly renowned for) is one of the canon's big mysteries and therefore I will not spoil it here! However, she's also a pretty excellent detective and joins Naegi in SOLVING ALL THE CRIMES that take place in murderschool, so there's that! She tends to be fairly reserved and generally likes to hang out on the sidelines and watch before really coming out of her shell at all, to the extent that sometimes people forget she's even there. She also has kind of a hilarious tendency of ending conversations by just WALKING THE FUCK AWAY so if ever you are threading with her and she does that, IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S KIRIGIRI. She is, however, getting better at being a people person, because character development is awesome.
Plans: She's going to be leaving the Dangan House soon to go on a badge run, and I'm also considering a somewhat significant character event with her in the near future, involving her having a minor breakdown and also getting mauled by a Salamence, but I want to wait until some of the current Dangan stuff settles down first, and also clear things with her CR well in advance, so.
Link to a recent post/log people can tag into: For the first time in what seems like forever! Kirigiri talks about despair and Chanseys.

...also admittedly I would find it really funny if Parker had to deal with a fair amount of people being like NO, FOR REAL THOUGH, YOU'RE HOT and she's just like .......what why how no how do I make it stop
(It's the little things in life I treasure.)
So if that works for you, I'm down for it!

Yes, please don't stab him Alice-chi...

-Cobra spends a lot of time in Vermilion
-Cobra has absolutely no idea what Carmen looks like or actually sounds like
-Theoretically somehow some sort of nonsense could happen and he would be none the wiser as to what happened or who that person was
So yeah, not sure if that's something you'd want to do at this point, but since she's on his side of the map, I figured I'd mention it.
no subject
IT'S LIKE ROUND TWO OF THE THANKSGIVING SHENANIGANS EXCEPT THIS TIME IT'S ACTUALLY WITH COBRA COMMANDER
I would love this, let us do this thing with all due speed.
no subject
So how do you want to do this?
no subject
And then presumably we'll figure out what all that will entail as we go. :|a

The docks might be a good bet for some shenanigans? I haven't been keeping up on all the Rocket strongholds as well as I should be - are they traditionally reserved to the Rockets for some purpose, or...?
no subject
I don't think there's anything specific there, but back when Ara was a mod, she offered the idea of Cobra supervising...whatever Team Rocket ships in and out of there. I've been under the impression he just sort of signs papers and yells at NPCs all day.
no subject
Oh, that sounds cool! I think I...vaguely remember seeing something like that once, but yeah, that's definitely something I could work with.
...What if he caught her snooping around the docks and had to try to Super Civilian chase her off by pretending like MA'AM YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HERE, HERE THERE BE ROCKETS SOMETIMES while actually being so mad about somebody snooping around Rocket business WHILE HAVING TO PRETEND LIKE HE'S NOT A ROCKET
Alternatively, she'd have good reason to be in any of the other places he's hanging out save for maybe his house, so anything is possible there, too.
no subject
I'm just sort of laughing at the idea of Cobra coming home and Carmen being his house. HOW DID SHE GET PAST ALL THE TRAPS HE SET? INCLUDING THE ONES THAT PROBABLY DAMAGED THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE HOUSE ITSELF?
no subject
hanging out in his kitchen
drinking his milk
oh hey bro i brought in the mail for you :|b
no subject
Also this just occurred to me today, and probably should have earlier, but it's likely he still has the police uniform he stole. Officer Cobra warning strangers away from the shadier areas of the docks. It's the perfect cover.
...except for the scarf he's wearing over part of his face in the almost 90 degree temperatures Route's having this week.
no subject
But yeah, that's totally a thing he could be doing! Plus it'd be hilarious to me, the two of them just kind of lying egregiously about who they are and what they're doing there, PRETENDING TO BE NORMAL while in fact both being completely abnormal in the villainous sense.
no subject
I like that about it too. Just two normal people having a conversation. COMPLETELY NORMAL. No master thieves or terrorist leaders. Definitely not here. Nope.
