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 (

doitrockapella) • Where On Earth Is 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 (

nostabbing) • Leverage

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 (

freshprints) • Dangan Ronpa

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.

Wrong account but since you brought up the what if, I am willing to see if Parker and Hagakure can actually happen. It's just a hilarious thought to me.

Admittedly it would probably not be anything too serious because her destined OTP is still with Hardison back home, but I would really enjoy having her kind of just...practice being social with people and try to go through the motions of behaving like a normal person without stabbing anybody. c:

...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!

Absolutely! I'm perfectly fine with with it being a casual thing since I did indeed get the idea that she's pretty much OTP'd from what I read in your plurks. I think casual is the furthest Hagakure can get anyway since he's...Hagakure.

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

EXCELLENT. Then by all means, let us make this a thing that happens. :|b

Okay so just throwing this out there, but
-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.

oh my god

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.

He still doesn't know what exactly happened there either. Someone got his mask and snuck into the base and did...something. He doesn't know what yet though, so it's a mystery.

So how do you want to do this?

Well, I will be slightly more coherent in the morning, for starters (it being just after 2 AM over here and I have class in eight hours anyway, hurm), but as a preliminary thing, I guess we should probably just figure out what Cobra tends to do in Vermilion in general, and the places he tends to frequent and stuff like that, and then I'll figure out how to put Carmen somewhere such that they'd have a shot at interacting?

And then presumably we'll figure out what all that will entail as we go. :|a

Okay since he learned that metal conducts electricity, he's been laying low in Saffron, but flying back to Vermilion to keep an eye on things. His routine probably includes checking on the Gym to see what's going on there, visiting the Pokemon Center, making sure no one's broken into his house or anything like that, and checking on the docks when he thinks the coast is clear (since he's supposedly not a Rocket anymore so he doesn't want to be seen there).

You know, it's funny because Carmen's house of choice is actually in Saffron, so she is probably likewise flying back and forth to check and make sure nobody's been messing with it. TOO BAD THEY CAN'T HIGH-FIVE EACH OTHER AS THEY GO BY.

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...?

The idea of them passing by each other repeatedly and Cobra not noticing is hilarious.

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.

WAVING AT EACH OTHER AS THEY JETTISON BY, HELLO NEIGHBOR

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.

I really like that idea because it's such a mess on his end. This is not what he signed up for when he created his master plan.

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?

I WOULD LAUGH SO HARD IF SHE GOT IN HIS HOUSE SOMEHOW

hanging out in his kitchen

drinking his milk

oh hey bro i brought in the mail for you :|b

Cobra proceeds to trigger every trap he set in the house trying to get her out.

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.

Okay I read that as OFFICER COBRA ARRESTING PEOPLE WHO BREAK INTO HIS HOUSE at first and honestly at this point I'm not sure which is funnier.

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.

...you know I've been considering an idea that wouldn't make that as far fetched as it seems.

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.
