( decorated in honour of our fallen colours )

Hello, hello, hello. Do know what know what time it is? It's time for a plurk friending meme with a little bit of a dash of a CR meme included at no extra charge! Good things come in bundles, right? The workshop is coming up soon, which means delicious fresh meat, but what about the not-so-fresh meat? Wow, really worked myself into a corner with that. But how about starting up some fresh new CR with some older users of Retrospec?

NAME: Tseil
TIMEZONE: MST
PLURK: Tseil
INTERESTS: I am obsessed with RP Land and picking up muses like they're candy. Right now I'm reviewing canon for Kadaj from Advent Children and Totsuka from K Project. I mostly play jackass pretty boys and psychotic manchildren (with the exception of the aforementioned cinnamon roll up there). I also really enjoy a good video game and will spend hours to weeks playing one that appeals to me. The Legend of Zelda series always keeps my attention. Other hobbies vary on a day to day basis. But whatever the flavour of the week is, you can bet I'm throwing myself into endless research over it.

NAME: Orion Jacobson | bitemefightme
ABOUT: Orion's Schizophrenic with visual and audio hallucinations and paranoia. Outside of that, he's messy as Hell. His apartment/room at his parents is in a constant state of Chaos. He enjoys street fighting and is a fairly decent worker. He just doesn't always keep his attitude in check.
FIVE WORDS: -Blunt -Messy -Snarky -Reclusive -Rebellious
CURRENTLY: He wants to kick Kaiba's ass for dating Fai (he doesn't understand what jealousy is, help him.) And I have plans for Fai to come rescue him from one of his episodes where he locks himself up in his apartment for a few days. Aren't neighbours nice? I also have plans with Yato for Orion to think he's an hallucination and just trip shit over it. He's also going to be working for Kaiba this month.
WANTED CR: Anything, really. Come at me, bro.
NOT INTERESTED IN: N/A
OTHER: I do have a permissions post for Orion. So if you want to play with him and avoid any of his episodes, this is fine. Just let me know, please.

CURRENTLY: Dealing with the break-up of a long-term long-distance relationship, preparing herself to enter college in Fall and working as a florist at Enchanted Blossoms.

NAME: Anastasia "Anya" Vasilieva | constellates
ABOUT: high school sophomore (gonna be a junior in the fall!), has been dancing ballet since she was like 6 at Dance!!! Studio, also taking vocal lessons, has recently been modeling, makes friends like she needs it to breathe, recently got hit with a regain that left her with fluent Russian and intermediate Japanese and English, aaaand my goal is for her to know everyone in the game at least tangentially so help me complete this cr web dream
FIVE WORDS: idol, forward, direct, starry, kira kira
CURRENTLY: actually not available for june because I declared a hiatus for her - but she'll start being more visible! see her in fashion magazines! hear her in radio interviews! catch her in tv bits! so she's actually difficult to get in touch with for right now but I'm hoping to set things up so she can be more visible later
WANTED CR:
★ actually, I'd be interested in negative CR for Anya since this has been weirdly missing?? she is incredibly sweet though, which makes that understandable. but if you think you can provide, hit me up!
★ GAL PALS CR, I ALWAYS LOVE FEMALE FRIENDS AND SHE NEEDS MORE OF THEM
★ more famous cr?? she's slowly getting into the world, if anyone wants to pick her up and show her the ropes, I'm here for it!
★ HONESTLY ANYONE. if you've ever wanted to thread with me, I'll probably offer Anya first because she's so easy to get CR with. please don't hesitate to hit me up!!
NOT INTERESTED IN: LMFAO N/A!!! GIVE ME ANYTHING
OTHER: I'll be busy with RL for the next couple weeks so I'm taking a step back with Anya for at least 3 weeks, but I'm super down to make plans if anyone wants to do that!

NAME: Baren Kaiyou (OU: Baren Kumou) | crudest
ABOUT: party satan. 3rd year college student (it's summer now tho ig), successful high-fashion model, prone to lying and spouting shit just for fun, prank king, previously a socialite in japan who pulled off an elaborate scheme to blackmail his own asshole father. if you need something to go terribly wrong to instigate regains he's your guy, actually a grandpa at heart who wants to buy a house and settle down with his twin sister but getting close to him is impossible. he's so secretive that his entire contact list in his phone is just strings of emojis bc he doesn't want anyone to know who he talks to.
FIVE WORDS: aesthetic, wild, mysterious, tsundere, impossible
CURRENTLY: fucking around. he stole a chocobo and it was a gorgeous blue and now it's grey so he's probably gonna write strongly worded letter to jim and throw down a gauntlet. he might try to enlist a small army to fight retrospec. he might try to TP the building. i haven't decided and need to ask the mods but please consider this stupidity with me.
WANTED CR:
★ STRAIGHT-LACED FUDDY DUDDIES this'll actually help instigate his regains since his sidekick (read: the main character of the manga) is a pretty serious guy
★ someone who will engage in baren's tendency to talk about deep and meaningful topics on accident, i do want him to have more contemplative threads
★ more people to assist in his disasters, please join the party satan crowd, we have t-shirts
★ talk to him about his sister.... he actually has really warm feelings about family
★ antagonistic cr???? this happens way too easily because baren's an asshole but I'll put it here anyway
★ IF THERE'S A WAY I CAN HELP YOU THEN PLEASE LMK AND I'LL DO IT
NOT INTERESTED IN: I'LL TAKE ANYTHING but I will say Baren is a ) a liar b ) cagey as fuck and c ) prone to sabotaging his own relationships if anyone tries to get too close to him too quickly in a way he doesn't like, so that's my warning for him. if you don't want to deal with those difficulties, I totally understand!
OTHER: BAREN WILL BE AROUND MORE THAN ANYA THIS MONTH and I'm less nervous about making plans with him because he keeps people at an arm's length to begin with.

BE MY FRIEND PLEASE

oh hey Karkat recommended Anya as a friend for Ami (who will be a freshman in the fall)! what do you think, shall we make this shit take place

C H A R A C T E R
NAME: Yukine Matsuoka | secare
ABOUT: Freshman at highschool who is moving onto being a sophomore. He's a photography buff and a massive nerd. He also has a delinquent past that he hasn't really lived up to much in Recollé yet.. He's from a loving family, including his father and his husband (who Yukine lovingly calls "mom") and unnamed NPC aunt that's referred to strictly as the "wine aunt". He got to the city earlier than his parents, so he hasn't moved back in with them yet, but he figures he's doing them a favour. Most of his time is spent taking photographs, playing games, or hassling his friends. Having friends feels pretty novel to him still!
FIVE WORDS: ❄ bratty ❄ cat-lover ❄ stubborn ❄ easily flustered ❄ rough ❄
CURRENTLY: Not really up to anything at the moment, but he volunteers at the animal shelter in secret and hangs around the cafe where Kashuu works because he's a lazy bum. I plan to get him a job this summer, temporarily working with Kaiba for the convention and club sunshine. Definitely looking for more stuff for him to do during the summer though.
WANTED CR: Naturally, anything. In particular, I am always searching for more school friends in particular whether it's classmates, share the same clubs, or whatever! There can never be enough friends with people his own age. Also looking for bad influences whether they're adult or teenaged.
NOT INTERESTED IN: Any romantic sort of CR at this time.
OTHER: Feel free to add my plurk! You don't even have to ask. :>! I pretty much just talk about like RP stuff & Recollé on it.

[frostythehitman]

DID SOMEBODY SAY SCHOOL FRIENDS

because i think this could happen. James is actually a year older but they could share like. a lunch period or something. And if Yukine's at all the type to do/watch sports, they could meet through football, since James plays on the school team?

(He's also a delinquent trying rly hard not to be one, so I'm just imagining the both of them practically vibrating with the effort of not going full jackass all the time)

ABOUT: Elda Marker's a wealthy forty year old would-be socialite who is trying to branch out her social circles now that she's been put on retrospec. She's arrogant and but fairly maternal, especially about her son (Toushiro) and her near-son (Silver).
FIVE WORDS: Tempestuous, Lonely, Haughty, Cat-lover, Indomitable
CURRENTLY: Joining the Dreadful Women's Adventure Club and signed up for the Treasure Hunt. Silver's (temporarily) moved in with her. More information here? On the plotting thing for this month.
WANTED CR: I'm new to the game so I'll really take anything? I mean I'd love for her to get to know more people near to her own age (40) and/or get to know people who know her boys but I'd love to get any and all CR. Want to work some odd job for her? rescue a cat? Get caught up in some crazy scheme? ... Meet her on a dating site? Idek I'm pen for anything here.
NOT INTERESTED IN: I can't think of anything.
OTHER: I'd love to gather up more people from the game for plurk. But um, because this doesn't account for canon as much Elda's a vampire in canon and will probably get the first physical part of that soon. Also I might be a bit slower this month than last but I should be fine and would love to make plans.

NAME: Ren Lowe | lostapprentice
ABOUT: A history buff and blue-collar worker prone to violence and anger who has ambitions but just doesn't know where yet. Not exactly a people person, but he does care to an extent. He just has a hard time not being his blunt, discomforting self.
FIVE WORDS: impulsive, empathetic, dramatic, lonely, curious
CURRENTLY: Freaking out over space, probably not being a good guy in his past life, and getting a creepy-ass helmet (which he will be making a post about soon probably!). He's starting to reach out more over the network, but due to it being connected to his real name (Ben Solo), he's hesitant to connect it with his real face. (Which is why his profile picture isn't his face!) It's not impossible to get him to do it, but he'll be really cagey, since uh, Ben Solo was declared dead halfway across the country, whoops.
WANTED CR: Literally anything. Friendly types to drag him out of his shell, small childrens to accidentally take care of somehow, mentor figures (either for good or evil), rivalries or arguments, fellow history enthusiasts, people to get him some other goddamn hobbies... ETA OH YEAH and maybe romantic interests?? Please date this shy standoffish nerd it would be great. (fair warning though: i'm all about slow burn)
NOT INTERESTED IN: I wouldn't say I'm "not interested," but it is going to be harder for him to interact with teenage-type characters outside the network without a good reason.

NAME: Yoshiko Tsushima | trappingheart
ABOUT: Sophomore at Recolle High and juvenile delinquent! Likes to tag up buildings mostly. Claims she's part of a big, tough gang that doesn't actually exist oops. She tries to be intimidating but she's actually very embarrassing, she's like 5 feet tall and maybe 104 pounds soaking wet. Super easy to enable into shenanigans. Big wrestling fan, geeks out over all the big names. Jumps into trouble without caring about consequences, but puts her neck on the line for the people she cares about and shows them her sensitive side, despite the tough act.
FIVE WORDS: Passionate, aggressive, disrespectful, gullible, loyal
CURRENTLY: She's actually keeping her head down low at school, for the moment! She's stuck in finals hell and she's still sort of embarrassed over singing at prom and wearing a pretty dress in front of everyone so please pep her back up and put a spring in her step, she has lots of ideas for artwork hiding in that spray can of hers--
WANTED CR: OH MAN GIVE IT ALL TO ME bad influences, good influences, delinquent buddies, unfortunate victims, people to blatantly disrespect, study buddies, fellow wrestling fans, maybe someone to get her a little more into singing? Or help foster her budding interest in the occult because that will be a massive disaster please I want it now
NOT INTERESTED IN: I'M PRETTY MUCH OPEN MY DUDES LAY IT ON ME
OTHER: thank you for having me lovelies <3

[frostythehitman]

Oh dang, if she was at prom, then she may well have been witness to the fight James and Malik got into! It was. a whole thing.

We could get some CR going between them starting off of that? Esp because they're in the same year--they would probably at least recognize each other!

Also if she wants to do more singing, Bucky has a band, waggles eyebrows. He'd be happy to do a collab or two with her, so long as she's willing to put up with some Linkin Park-esque lyrics.

ABOUT: A quiet but super sweet teen graduating from high school soon! In a previous life he battled demons to defend Tokyo alongside his friends and was tied up in a lot of fate and destiny in doing so... but here he's taking things at a relaxed pace and enjoying things like pottery and painting. He lives with his grandparents due to largely absent parents and isn't super great at socializing, but he likes people and is the empathetic sort.
FIVE WORDS: Quiet, kind, sweet, sharp, strawberries.
CURRENTLY: Graduating from high school! He managed to get into college thanks to testing well when he puts his mind to it. He's currently getting disturbing memories of zombies and death so that's lowkey freaking him out a bit.
WANTED CR: Basically anything, he's really a calm individual and can even be complementary to any more hotheaded folks.

NAME: Souji Seta (AU: Souji Narukami) | tarotcards
ABOUT: high school senior (who's graduating in two weeks!) who can summon demons and gods and set like three people on fire when trying to summon it for the first time. also, cats and bad jokes and he has an identical twin (yu narukami)
FIVE WORDS: nyan, sociable, playful, secretive, fake
CURRENTLY: souji's normally good at being silly or being zany with his weird sense of humour but lately... he's been having a hard time, laughs. regaining a persona without knowing what it is (setting people on fire or cursing them accidentally), his brother finding out that he's been keeping secrets from him, being afraid that he can't remember yu in any of his memories, it's been making him stressed out lately, haha. he has this problem of smiling through his problems though and pretending they don't exist, so he's been just... doing that. only talked to really a handful of people about his problems and only one that he was the one approaching them. he's a Handful, but some silly posts will be coming for him soon! one involving a funeral for a scarf he burned off his uncle and another with cat puns
WANTED CR: pretty open to anything! souji is a pretty social and friendly guy so it's easy to make cr with him. i guess more people to do dumb things with him! that'll go with his dumb humor, but it'll also be really great to have cr who will just... call him out on his bullshit for never asking for help while trying to take on everything by himself. he's pretty good at being able to fake being okay so it'd probably take some established cr to catch on and be like wtf man
NOT INTERESTED IN: n/a! open to anything right now!
OTHER: what did one cell say to his sister cell who stepped on his toe? "mitosis"

[glaciers]

I can't believe I had to read that pun with my own eyes.

if you set Shouto on fire he'll actually remember that's a thing he can do at will.

Shouto has trouble making friends, but once they've reached a good level he can and will call people out on not asking for help.

If you're down, I'd love to see some CR between Bucky and Leo? They're...I think they're the same age/grade in school? Assuming Leo's finishing up his sophomore year of school, anyway.

If Leo ever makes plans to fuck with Jim/Retrospec in any way at all you know Bucky would be on that in a heartbeat. He's always down to screw with them (even if he really ought to be spending his time avoiding trouble like the plague).

(Also this is like waaaaaay way off in the future but i'm just gonna put it out there: Bucky will eventually be getting back some metal arms that Leo might be interested in as a mechanic)

INTERESTS: KINGDOM HEARTS and no one was surprised, a mess of other fandoms that pop up from time to time including asscreed, Disney, Broadway and musicals, Miraculous Ladybug, Final Fantasy, YOUNG ADULT FICTION, the SCA and everything that goes along with that (including photo posts from time to time, sewing, and fencing), general silliness and joking around. I generally do use plurk for RL stuff as well, but I try to keep it to a few plurks a day for the most part!

C H A R A C T E R
NAME: Dante Rantanen | Riku of Kingdom Hearts| darkinferno
ABOUT: Son of a pianist and opera singer (or a publicist, it's a long story), a rich asshole who covers for his fear of abandonment and desire for validation by hiding beneath a cocksure, sarcastic exterior. Dante's that "bad boy" that people get warned away from without being quite as out of control as Party Satan above |D Constantly making really stupid decisions; do recognize that CR with him may result in him drunk-texting at 2AM until he regains enough of himself to get away from those sort of self-destructive impulses for good...

FIVE WORDS: ✭ self-destructive ✭ cocky ✭ teenage-douchebag ✭ driven ✭ self-deprecating ✭
CURRENTLY: Doing pretty all right! He's been really surprised to realize he's got people around him that actually care about him in spite of how the personality he affects is created to keep people at arm's length. He's holding several of his regains at arm's length though; he's had some troubles with his regains and unpacking them is sometimes difficult.
WANTED CR: ANYTHING! He's got a pretty good mix of positive and negative, though I'd be open to more negative CR as a general rule because Dante is an idiot and needs strife in his life. Also, he can be a negative influence on others too if you'd prefer that!
NOT INTERESTED IN: N/A really.
OTHER: Do recognize that as Dante first approaches people he's pretty distant and sardonic! He probably won't be outright mean just to be mean, but he's used to people coming and going from his life so it'll take more than one network thread to get him really invested in a relationship. It's not a lack of wanting to play on my part, I promise!


NAME: Katherine Lutece | Katherine Plumber of Newsies | abovethefold
ABOUT: The daughter of John Lutece, head of Lutece, Hearst, & Jackson, Kath has been studying like mad from a young age to become a lawyer herself and fulfill her father's expectations by making partner at his firm. She's a very studious sort and is very sweet, if naive and ignorant to the struggles of the world. She wants to seek justice through the law, but right now Kath doesn't understand what justice looks like outside of an Upper Middle Class White Conservative Catholic worldview.

FIVE WORDS: ❧ studious ❧ well-meaning ❧ righteous ❧ anti-bullshit ❧ temper
CURRENTLY: Just getting started with all of this Retrospec nonsense! She hasn't gotten any regains yet but she is more than a little bit peeved by the interruption to her studying last month right before finals. Right now she doesn't have much interest in it and what's going on as she's got (to her) much bigger priorities, so she's going to be in for a surprise once things start happening to the people she's close to.
WANTED CR: PEOPLE TO PULL HER OUT OF HER COMFORT ZONE! Right now she's got a nice small web of people she knows and gets along well with, but part of the arc I've got planned for Kath definitely involves her getting out and learning that her view of the world is pathetically limited. Make her put down the books! Drag her into a car on an adventure! Take her out to Tisse and show her a good time--basically, wreck the girl |D BUT as always, I'm also up for anything! c: I will happily play with fellow quieter folks and enjoy the quiet friendship possibilities too.
NOT INTERESTED IN: Long-term relationships, as her boys are in-game c: however, since people don't usually find the right person on the first go, I'm cool with short-term relationships so long as both parties OOCly know it'll probably end!
OTHER: Right now I'm running a bit slowly with Kath, as it's the first time I've played her, but my goal for the month is to get her grounded and running!!

NAME: Grell Sutcliffe | erythristic
ABOUT: Medical examiner in Recolle who works a lot for the Recolle PD, the less legit of the two doctors on Retrospec, overdramatic and in love with the color red. However, she's highly willing to make friends and far from snobbish, as well as an avid reader and supportive of her CR. Just ignore the flowery tangents and the occasional morbidity.
FIVE WORDS: Poetic, red, strength, death, human.
CURRENTLY: Doing her job and also getting more interested in digging into the truth of Recolle given the changes. Getting memories and slowly doubting reality. Waiting to see if Janet and Jim are getting married. She's everywhere and anywhere.
WANTED CR: It's easy to say everything, but to clarify:
*Adults who want fellow adult CR, come to me, I'm always willing to help build that up.
*Newbies to Retrospec who want a look from someone who's been here for a few months, that's possible.
*Weird regains you want checked out at 12 am? Call her, she'll figure something out for you.
*If you want negative CR and want someone to bounce off you, we can probably make it work.
*Misfit strays she can worry over quietly and let come visit her at her apartment...her doors are always open to friends.

PLURK: mutanthairything
INTERESTS: I'm a graduate student studying mechanical engineering, and I'm focusing on energy/sustainability, so science and environmental policy are important to me. In terms of less serious topics, I'm a huge fan of animation and video games, though school has kept me too busy recently to focus on those. My biggest fan interests are Mother 3, podcasts (I do fictional and historical series and play from Thrilling Adventure Hour), and I regularly LARP with my university buddies. I'm a bit shy with new people, but hopefully my love for stupid dance remixes and GMod videos will be apparent

NAME: Mohammed Abdul (AU name: Hefaz) | prometheanflame
ABOUT: Mohammed works at the history museum as an archivist and loves talking about all these neat things he learns about the past and other countries. His dream is to travel the world, but...this isn't going to go well in this setting. Despite being only 25, he prefers to be the most mature person in the room and sometimes comes off as older than he really is. He's going to be the mom friend no matter what, even if it means playing down his weirder side. He's an animal lover and owns 4 budgies (one that won the pet show) and Iggy, the shittiest and ugliest Boston Terrier in existence.
FIVE WORDS: Responsible, Intelligent, Friendly, Passionate, Protective
CURRENTLY: He has some friends his age! And some teenagers that he's on vaguely antagonistic-but-also-feel-mentorly-towards terms. He's throwing himself into the investigation of Retrospec out of a sense of responsibility.
WANTED CR: This guy needs to be dragged out to socialize outside of volunteering contexts. He doesn't easily open up, so someone who can constantly bother him and be friends at him would be great.
NOT INTERESTED IN: Nothing in particular?
OTHER:

I can't wait until he regains his giant chicken friend...

[burningblossoms]

Okay. So I was sort of bad about actually following up on CR from the intro log but I'd still love to do some stuff with Mohammed and one of my two. Especially now that Yukiko has her Persona back.

And I too have a fondness for GMod videos :3

NAME: Jaeger (Yeager) | scythegun
ABOUT: A curio shop owner with a past he'd rather not share, Jaeger's rich and surprisingly charming for someone so annoying. He's capable of caring about people but he tends to hold them at arm's length because of his past.
FIVE WORDS: Outgoing, obnoxious, eccentric, self-centered, shady.
CURRENTLY: Running his curio shop and volunteering at the orphanage occasionally. I don't have plans for this month, but if there's something you want to do let me know!
WANTED CR: "Anything" is kind of a given, but I'd especially love more shady people for Jaeger to get along with! Alternatively if you're looking for a job, Jaeger's almost always hiring!
NOT INTERESTED IN: The only thing Jaeger's not here for right now is anything familial/too friendly, but that may change eventually depending on his memory regains!
OTHER: I'll be slower this month due to running a short-term game, but I'll definitely still be around!

C H A R A C T E R
NAME: Ryoji Mochizuki | appraiser
ABOUT: Ryoji as a person was generally kind, optimistic, enthusiastic, wants to see the best in the world, etc. until I destroyed his entire world view last month with canon memories of being Death and not human. He is still all those things, just... more prone to pensive moodiness and fatalism at times... but he'll bounce back!
FIVE WORDS: lmao I'm cheating and will just pull words out of the above; kind, optimistic, enthusiastic, naive, fatalistic
CURRENTLY: This month, he's trying to pick himself back up, force himself to stop moping, and try to be more cheerful and outgoing around others in hopes that seeing things through rose-colored glasses will come naturally for him again. He'll be starting uni when school starts up again, but that's far in the future and is something he made promises to do but has lost some motivation for because he'd been hit with some heavy rl stuff recently.
WANTED CR: people who like talking about or sharing ~feelings~ I guess, since Ryoji is a pretty emotional character and seeks out people to become closer to and share a deeper connection past just surface level acquaintances
NOT INTERESTED IN: open to any character, but Ryoji works best with people around his own age, since he's used to doing things by himself, but not taking care of others or being taken care of in return.
OTHER: I'm here to mess up Ryoji's life, so like... he has several different forms I have/plan to buy back-- his original Ryoji form, Thanatos, Nyx Avatar, and Pharos. Each of these are slightly different in personality even though he's still, at his core, Ryoji, so if my tags sound different when writing one or another, that's me consciously trying to differentiate them and I'm sorry if it's wonky as I fine-tune things :( Out of my two characters, Ryoji is the one I'll generally be focusing more on over Mafuyu.

NAME: Mafuyu Kurosaki | buncho
ABOUT: Shounen protag Mafuyu... Things have been slightly derailed since workshop/tdm plans, so Mafuyu's pretty much just delinquent in terms of cutting class and not really fighting because people here are too nice... She's somebody who does what she wants and forces people to do what she wants, but mostly her priorities are good food and fun times, she's just here to mess around/mess with your characters P:
FIVE WORDS: bold, assertive, energetic, care-free, loud...
CURRENTLY: IT'S ALMOST SUMMER BREAK NO MORE SCHOOL!!!!! summer's for playing around and that's what she's going to do.
WANTED CR: I've reached out somewhat, before, to other high schoolers or people who've lived in Recollé for much of their lives who might know Mafuyu since she was born here and I'm still open for that! Mafuyu also gets along best with people her age, but also any adults she can sweep up in her own pace and indulge her whims
NOT INTERESTED IN: anything plot-heavy would better be entrusted to Ryoji since Mafuyu is just a high-schooler and won't take things seriously even if the world were falling apart
OTHER: Mafuyu's canon's nothing too wild, so she's less involved than Ryoji in terms of engaging with the overarching game plot or having a personal character arc like he does right now, so at the moment, I'm just coasting with her and developing more CR. Like Ryoji, though, she comes in different "form" that are actually just disguises, but I'll eventually regain her superhero Usa-chan Man mask and she also cross-dresses as Natsuo, and same with the above like Thanatos and Pharos where I'll consciously try to differentiate their voices both in brackets and dialogue.

[prometheanflame]

Please let Mafuyu continue terrorizing Mohammed's birds. Now that school is over, she has more time to bother him.

Some shows I like are The Good Place, Steven Universe, OITNB and Bojack Horseman, though I most often post fanart/talk about SU eps atm since everything else is not in season yet.

I like rp and I talk about it on my plurk! I mostly play straightforward women who could easily kick my ass. Sometimes I talk about OCs or stuff I'm writing. I also enjoy cooking, and many kinds of tea.

She is a certified child prodigy/genius though she will probably never actually say that, and has some background in robotics and engineering (she later gravitated toward environmentalism and conservation efforts). She's housesitting/crashing for her dad while he's away on a very long vacation. Is in her early 20s. She's pretty down to earth, empathetic and reliable, but is kind of a smartass.
FIVE WORDS: Determined, grounded, brave, clever, robots...idk
CURRENTLY: Signing her up for the treasure hunt! She told Yuki she'd try to build a toy fighting robot so she'll be doing some work in that soon. Probably tinkering with Retrospec's programming and getting increasingly frustrated. Debating getting some folks together for a camping trip later in the summer.
WANTED CR: UH, a lot...honestly. Just about anything! Childhood friends that I can do preestablished cr with are especially welcome, but other nerds and other rugged beautiful outdoorsy people are welcome as well, since she's kind of quiet and isolated at her job. Buds of all types...a date?? an ex, a rival that she isn't even interested in rivaling with...I would write all of this.

If you manage to befriend him, expect a guy who will literally go all out to try to help out. He's really interested in horror genre stuff and cooking. Easy way to get him to be more social is to feed him.
FIVE WORDS: Sullen, Moody, Reckless, Shonen, Brat
CURRENTLY: Finishing up his sophomore year of high school! Also undergoing physical therapy for his new arm, and working part-time at the Confectionery.
WANTED CR: Most of all? A THERAPIST. I've been handwaving him seeing one, but if anyone is interested in actually being the poor therapist that deals with this guy, I'd love that. Besides that, I'd love more with fellow classmates and friends! I will warn though it can take a bit for him to warm up to someone thanks to the mirage of issues he has.
