PLAYER: Corinne
CHARACTER: Tuuri Hotakainen
CANON: Stand Still Stay Silent

AU NAME: Tuuri Hotakainen
AU AGE: 20
AU OCCUPATION: Student, and some sort of hilarious and yet undecided part time job!
BLURB:
- Born and raised in Finland, her parents died in an accident when she was fairly young. She and her older brother moved in with her aunt and uncle until she moved to Recolle for university.
- Though she is mad adventurous and always wanted to ~see the world~ her older brother was HARDCORE OVERPROTECTIVE to the point where she decided to go to university abroad purely so she could live her own life, god. She definitely did not bring this possibility up until she was already accepted at RU. She still skypes him like every day like a good little sister if only he were real.
- She is a freshman and studying either history, sociology, linguistics, maybe biology? Maybe she doesn’t know yet either! Maybe she’s in every class.
- Fluent in Finnish, Swedish, and English, also has some intermediate language skills in some fourth language because she’s that sort of overachiever (probably Russian or French???)
- Talkative, outgoing, huuuuuge nerd. Kind of a micromanager. She gets pretty bossy once she gets comfortable with people. Also she likes cats!
- Probably does all of her schoolwork in a coffeeshop somewhere, is the person you don’t want sitting next to you in the library because she’ll keep trying to engage you in conversation the night before the midterm.
- Allergic to peanuts!
LOOKING FOR:
- A STUPID PART TIME JOB, THE MORE RIDICULOUS THE BETTER
- Roommate??? Roommates???
- She’d be the sort of person who’d try to set up language exchanges/practice groups, so that.
- Study groups in general
- Nerd friends. Coffee friends. International students lounge friends. Friends??

ok hear me out on the ridiculous job situation: what about working at a host club - not necessarily as a hostess but as anything

[skald]

THIS, THIS IS THE SORT OF RIDICULOUSNESS I'M HERE FOR god she's a little too self conscious to be a host but I think this would be great, what other sort of jobs are available there

[sotenbori]

She can help run errands to keep things stocked like the bar!! but also majima buys clothes and accessories and stuff for all his employees so she could help with that maybe? she could also just be back of house staff if thats more her style

[livingdeadgirl]

hello i just want to pop in and say i love tuuri and i love you for playing her

[skald]

HELLO THANK YOU I'm so happy when people recognize her

[catsudon]

if she's learning Russian for Reasons Yuri may be looking for more people trying to learn Russian/who know some Russian SO CORINNE IF YOU WANT CR

I've been making him horridly good at tracking things down when he's curious about a topic but basically he also wants more than 2 people to speak Russian with

[skald]

I can definitely make it Russian (for history!!! and geographical reasons!!!) so we can definitely get stupid language partner CR

...how do you do a cute Russian diminutive for a Finnish name, I'm thinking too hard about this.

[catsudon]

Honestly since it's not Russian between all the various things I've read from people who actually... are Russian, it'd probably be Tuuri+applicable diminutive form since her name as a whole is its own root rather than having a root

Though there's the less formal/more personal nickname to give her before you hit diminutive levels LOOK IVE BEEN WRONG MANY TIMES AND I STILL KEEP TRYING

[frisyr]

u kno what else u should do...?

[catsudon]

marry you

LMAO DONT ASK ME THESE THINGS XY

doesn't even go here

[frisyr]

ok but what if...

-tuuri should hang out in the commuters lounge like all the time
-bet she should do translation commissions and she expects like personal letters or app-related things but gets like, embarrassing doujinshi for a fandom she likes AND A SHIP SHE HATES
-should get a cat and hide it in her dorm but it doesn't have a name it's just cat
-gets cute care packages from onni even tho he makes taru sign her name instead
-engineering class maybe?? as a "fun elective"
-likes 2 hang out at used book stores

[skald]

YOU DON'T EVEN GO HERE

[frisyr]

BUT I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS

AND I SAID I WOULD DO IT

[frisyr]

-EATS CHIPS IN BED AND GETS CRUMBS EVERYWHERE

Re: doesn't even go here

[skald]

-okay but she definitely hangs out in the commuters lounge all the time
-and book stores
-I'm laughing at the idea that she'd end up with doujinshi, who in the world is she translating this doujinshi for

Re: doesn't even go here

[frisyr]

maybe it was like dugong or whatever, and it was only translated into shitty english from a chinese translation

but like, it was only translated into finnish for some high schooler's project

[goen]

Tuuri yessss!! If she was working at Majima's host club as early as late last year, then Yato and Tuuri were brief co-workers! He's since left but Yato would still chat with her when he sees her... he'll chat with anyone who will chat back tbh

[skald]

I am going to say yes!! Mostly because I want former coworkers CR, I mean she'd definitely chat back either way let's be honest.

[goen]

Fab!! Yato was a host of questionable charm for a couple months maybe before gently being let go for his own good. He would've been friendly with Tuuri back then too!! Nowadays he is probably still invested in work gossip and asks Tuuri about the club's goings-on... and totally chatters a lot about his current work at a bar called the Inkwell! Also he's a bum and she might catch him sleeping in public places sometimes but he's fine, it's fine

[thesettingsun]

CORINNE HI THIS IS MINI IT'S BEEN A WHILE also man I should catch up on ssss I left off at like, 'please give me mage lessons brother of my unwilling coworker'

Shuji here is also a college student! He's majoring in literature and it's entirely possible they have one or multiple classes in common. Also given that this is his third attempt at this college, it's possible that he's already had some teachers/classes she's currently having and has given friendly advice? Like 'don't rely on this professor putting the schedule on the site he only does it the night before something's due' and such.

[skald]

YOOOOO HEY MINI I didn't know you read ssss!!

Oh no I like the idea of friendly college advice about specific teachers... give me the deets sempai.

[thesettingsun]

I didn't at the time we were last in contact I think! Then some things happened, by which I mean I got CR with a Sigrun and went 'okay this is clearly an amazing character whose canon I need to experience' and I did not regret that.

He will give her all the deets, all of them. Alas, he didn't keep his notes from previous years, that would've been smart.

[mouseketeerish]

OH MY GOD, hi, I played Mako at Haven, and play him here now. I THOUGHT SHE WAS DARLING, AND LOVED THREADING WITH HER. I'd love to do that here too!!

[skald]

AHHHHHHH yes hello! I would love that! Do you want to try to set up some sort of existing CR or should we just gun for each other once she's in the game? (also obligatory pours one out for Haven, never forget)
