NOVEMBER CR MEME

> NOVEMBER CR MEME

We're well into November now, with our big end-of-year AU event coming up which will help us round out… well, maybe we can end 2020 on a good note? Stranger things have happened.

So, here we go!

◉ Here's the November calendar, which provides a quick rundown of the month.

◉ The Arrival Log is up, allowing this round of newbies to be collected and get settled right before getting whisked off into the AU along with the rest of the Displaced. Let's give them a warm welcome, and there's even a chance for one of the Displaced to become a singing sensation!

◉ On November 16th (so on Monday!) there will be a plotting post for the Battle Royale-based AU event that we'll be running through December. We know that some of you have started figuring out details about your character in the AU already, but this will provide a lot more information, and we'll have headers for people to list what "group" their character is a part of. The log for this event will go up on November 21st, so in a week! And for anyone who's brand new, you can find the original rundown for the AU over here.

◉ For a rundown of everything that's happened so far in game, check out our The Story So Far page. This guy is your big ctrl+f friend. It needs updates for the past couple months, so we'll try to get to that at some point (most likely in January to cover the big updates).

◉ Check out our Setting Page for any ideas you might need about the world at large!

◉ We also recommend that you look over our JOBS PAGE and LOCATION PAGE to get the brain moving. As a quick note: everyone can add and create new locations for New Amsterdam (and develop other megacities)! We'll always review them and reach out to you if any changes need to be made.

Now, the form!

NAME & PRONOUNS: Emmy, she/her
CONTACT: PM, KoboldLibrarian#2091 on Discord, gravenrose
AREAS OF INTEREST: I'm a history nerd who plurks a lot about history, costume dramas, and sci-fi/fantasy and other speculative fiction. Into anime and cartoons as well but don't keep up with them super quick. I love getting recs though! Sometimes I plurk about FFXIV, too. I'm on Crystal DC!

> CHARACTER

NAME: Glimmer
CANON: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
JOURNAL: sparklequeen
POWER: Phasing/becoming incorporeal
JOB: Currently works serving tea/coffee at an upscale cafe. She'd like to move into something else, but she's never really had to apply for jobs before so the whole thing is rather out of context.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Glimmer got started on helping to organize and prepare a warehouse for teaching self-defense and first aid to citizens of New Amsterdam, met some cool new arrivals and then offered to organize a potluck for Displaced.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: At the moment I plan for her to be a former participant on the celeb circuit trying to hold herself together, but it's pretty vague.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Definitely want to get her more into activism and organizational activities for her. Helping people is important to Glimmer and if she can do it, she will.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: If you have the money and taste for an upscale cafe, you can find her at work. Otherwise, you're most likely to find her at Red Wings working with Stephen Strange on organizing resources for new arrivals or just enjoying an appetizer and a drink.
OVERALL GOALS: Push Glimmer further out of her comfort zone and have her try to deal with the stuff hanging around in her head thanks to the canon point she's taken from (s5 e3 'Corridors' for those canon familiar). When she's pushed, she can start to move towards more extreme measures and ideas, and I think that might be an interesting direction to take her. She's a fighter and kind of a badass, which I don't think many people expect when they look at her.
ANYTHING ELSE:

Hey hey I hope a comment about the event AU here is cool, since I didn't see a plotting thread for you over there! But I've been searching for a catalyst that would have fully turned Callisto on to wanting to join up with the Kestrels, and I think the story of Glimmer and her mom would fit the bill if you're up for it - maybe they knew each other as neighbors turned friends / people who were quietly sympathetic to the Kestrel cause but not up for fully joining the rebellion, and then when Glimmer's whole thing happened Callisto went "wow no fuck this actually" and decided to officially join the Kestrel cause?

Callisto's schtick is going to be that she'll have her real memories but will be trying to play along regardless, and I've really liked her threads with Glimmer so far; I feel like having a connection in the AU could lead to some interesting places for them post-AU!

I think that culd be really fun, yeah! I have Glimmer's planning thread up over here. :D She's been keeping her head down since she got out of the Quarry, partially because she's worried that she might get too much of the wrong kind of attention on the people she used to know if she's too friendly.

Hmmm, maybe we could do an accidental run-in at some point, then!

[sparklequeen]

Definitely!
