Would the bath salts be able to be smuggled out for use in later months, or are they event only?

Tony Stark | MCU

[nonstopnarcissist]

Character Name: Antonio Carbonell / Smith aka Tony Stark
Character's Class: First
Preferred Player Contact: thesouthernbelle, thesouthernbelle#0160, PM.
OOC Limits: I don't really want to kill Tony but I'm playing with the idea of him losing his right arm in the wire thing.

Desired CR: I've been a failboat, am planning to do better, gimme everything. Positive, negative, argumentative.
Unwanted CR: Pepper barrier is still in effect, even with zombie Pep and Morgan having been a thing.

Event Ideas:

The Soiree A - Mid January Early on Tony's deck wanderings will have him out of the way of the wire death but oh boy, will he get an eyefull of the horrible, empty, haunted looking ship. With his delicate constitution he'll be tense and out of sorts and deeply unsettled for awhile, half certain he's gone mad.

The Bathhouse A soak soothes a rattled mind right? Right. He'll be soaking up some of those blue salts to help with his uneasy dreaming and what he'd seen during that first horrific soiree. Not fun.

The Soiree B - January 29th Even less fun- caught out, Tony's going to need medical attention ASAP as he's going to lose his right arm in one of those wires. You can only get so lucky for so long, right? Emergency triage and a quick trip to the baths for some of those healing salts is going to need to be a thing. He'll be adequately distraught and likely sliding into shock because- uh, yeah. It'll be an adjustment.

The Sinking Ship / The Ship Goes Down Odds are he'll be up and about (though he shouldn't be) trying to find his kids and getting them/their new friends/love interests/etc to safety. Find him wading around or trying very hard to pop one of the gates open because, no? No. He's not standing by to watch people drown. Getting other people to life boats will be a priority, he'll manage somehow (by getting hauled to a lifeboat his own damn self, probably)

The Lighthouse / Welcome to Rapture Aside from being somewhat able to row a boat he's, unfortunately, a bit useless during the ride over, but he can carry people up till the rain hits. His rosary will lead him down further into the depths and honestly, he'll be locked so deep in 'get everyone inside, get everyone settled' mode that he'll need to be reminded to rest up himself, he did just lose a limb, etc. From early to mid-February he'll regain his memory, which'll help with the building shit to survive their environment aspect of not dying in Rapture.

[suchmiracles]

If Tony needs a way off the boat, Kurt would be happy to oblige and dump him into a lifeboat like a sack of laundry.

[guardianofeden]

Character Name: Aziraphale
Character's Class: First Class
Preferred Player Contact: tronja307020 or PM.
OOC Limits: He's not going to get chopped in half by the wires, or eaten by Godzilla, or use the sexy bath salts, but other then that, heyyy, sky's the limit!

Desired CR: I'm open for lots of ideas!
Unwanted CR: Nothing in particular.

Event Ideas: Aziraphale started the month remembering the sinking because he was there the first time, so he's been a bit of a panicky mess, but the longer time goes on, the more he's going to forget about it and not know wtf all those random, cobbled-together rafts he's been constructing out of furniture are for. He probably won't even know wtf everyone is talking about if they bring up how he was trying to come up with a Sinking Plan. At first, he'll still remember he's an angel, but then about a quarter of the way through the month, he's going to forget even that and just think he's an English, rich, rare book dealer on a pleasure cruise with his secret boyfriend from 1912. Trying to tell him the ship is going to sink or tell him he's not a fussy, very-humanly-gay human being will get the same sort of "Are you drunk???" reaction people were giving him at first.

He's going to be on the edges of one of those fancy shindigs that goes choppy-choppy with the wires, but he won't get killed. At most, he'll just get a big gash on an arm, since he may not remember it, but he's a stocky, sturdy angelface. Dealing with that, and then the rotting-ghost-ship night afterward will just leave him very shaken and confused and a little traumatized because HE IS HUMAN, SUPERNATURAL THINGS DON'T HAPPEN, WHAT IS GOING ON? So he'll probably go to the spa after a couple of days to try and forget about the very horrifying, absolutely-impossible hallucinations he suffered that night, and he'll have a combination of the healing and calming bath salts. The weird critters in the spa probably won't even be that horrifying to him, at that point. Oh. Sure. Sure. He just went through far worse then that, seeing a bunch of inhuman critters wandering around is just another sign of the temporary hysteria that overcame him. He'll just...pretend they aren't there, spend his day in the spa, and then hope nothing else happens until they reach New York and he can go see a doctor. 8'[

Once Godzilla decides they want to ride on the cruise ship, too, that and the sinking beginning will be enough to sort of jar his memory, but it's gonna be rough for him. He'll have reality and his AU hallucinations jangling around at the same time in his head, so he may not even be very good during the actual evacuations unless someone manages to make him focus on getting people into the lifeboats and worry about reality later. He'll at least remember he's got wings in time to take to the air when the ship finally goes under, and then he'll be able to carry up to two people at a time towards the lighthouses, so if anyone wants an easy way for their character to get to safety, he'd be able to carry them. He won't be able to make multiple trips, though, he'll be exhausted by the end of the first flight, though I'm up for hand-waving multiple threads for that with multiple people.

Once he lands at a lighthouse, he's just going to sort of collapse in the submersible down to Rapture, and maybe not even leave it for a good deal of time after it stops and opens up so he can enter the city. He's just going to be in sort of an exhausted daze. When he's had a chance to recover, though, and once he starts seeing the things that hellhole is capable of, he'll be picking up a weapon probably very quickly.

[foundakeyandangels]

Ahahaha, I was going to say Sally would help set free the tiny desk rafts, but apparently he doesn't remember his plan and now i'm laughing. Which brings me to ask, would you like our TDM thread to be game canon?

Zelda | Breath of the Wild

[hylights]

Character Name: Zelda
Character's Class: First Class
Preferred Player Contact: dudemeister or PM.
OOC Limits: No death.

Desired CR: Anything! Other girls to be friends with, exploration and research-minded people she can be a nerd with, people her own age, older folk to give her guidance. I'm open to all of it.
Unwanted CR: Nothing that's super antagonistic without cause.

Event Ideas:

Zelda has all her memories during this event but all the NPCs on the ship know her 'history', which is that she's a princess from a reclusive country who's renowned for going on archaeological expeditions. Quite unusual for a lady of high standing. I'm happy for any of the AU'd characters to have heard of her as well! I might still do a separate log for general pre-event things and if I do I'll link it in her event top level as well.

the bathhouse
Zelda will be both having a soak in the baths AND collecting the bath salts for research purposes. She will probably duck into random rooms to take some of the salts to compare. So. Sorry if you're already in there, she'll just be a minute!!

the sinking ship
Once Zelda realises what's happening she'll start by trying to help people on deck into the boats. Later she'll go below decks to help some more, especially to help fend off Grindylows.

When she gets back on deck she'll be using her Sheikah Slate to remove fallen metal objects and hopefully freeze any falling things before they hit people.

the ship goes down
I'm thinking Zelda will jump ship before this happens, either ending up in the water or getting into one of the lifeboats. Would love to have someone along for the jump if you want your character to leap for it!

Once she's in the lifeboats (or on some debris) she might use her powers to provide some light to guide and calm people. So if you need a guiding light she'll be there.

[clickclickbloom]

Ruby's another girl around her age that would be happy to be friends with her!

On the ship she believes she's just serving staff with her actual memories popping back in every once awhile so I'd be up for her having heard of Zelda's AU history and be totally star struck.

We could do a meet up in the bathhouse or she could just run into her while she's serving food.

[neverstudied]

Character Name: Peter Venkman (Titanic AU name: Lorenzo Fink)
Character's Class: First
Preferred Player Contact: glitchbirds or The Muppet Man #0922.
OOC Limits: Probablyyyy not character death just yet, or permanent limb loss, but severe injuries are fine. I'm also probably not gonna thread out anything to do with the green salts. though he's 100% going to "borrow" some. and i hate it

Desired CR: He's still relatively new, so he needs to meet more people, actually have friends, make enemies, et cetera et cetera; and this month is perhaps the worst(best?) time to do that, since he's going to be inconsistent and paranoid the whole time, which MEANS any CR he makes this month is probably gonna have a weird idea of who he is. more on that in a bit
Unwanted CR: shrugs

Event Ideas: SO!
HERE is where I have basically all the information regarding Venkman's AU self, and how his memories will change over time. It's still a bit subject to change and the actual dates of changes are nebulous, but what's important is that:
-Venkman knows full well he doesn't belong in first class; his Titanic AU self believes he doesn't belong in first class. Cue rich guilt, and extreme paranoia on his AU self's part about the possibility of losing everything and of judgement from others in first class
-The more Venkman loses his memories and gains the thoughts+memories+mindset of his AU self, the more paranoid and skittish he becomes; he's also more likely to snap at people without warning and just be unpleasant to be around. (... more so than usual)
-By the end of the month he'll more or less completely be "Lorenzo Fink". These changes will likely begin to reverse in early February, since the class aspect from January doesn't appear to carry into February.

I'll probably put a TL for the event, with prompts all centered around the end of January dealing with the whole "the ship is sinking" thing. My general plan of action is for him to fail to get on the lifeboats in time while trying to find Ray (who at this point he only remembers as HIS Titanic AU self, but he still knows instinctively that Ray is Important); as a result he gets caught up in a few altercations with Grindylows and the Sharktopus, and luckily it seems "knowing how to fight monsters" is instinctual for him as well; though he sure as hell can't fistfight a Sharktopus and win. He'll probably get badly injured in the attempt. Once the Titanic completely falls apart and sinks, he'll wind up one of the survivors desperately clinging to debris.

... Until THEN, I have this post covering the first several days of January, and I'll try to tag out as much as I can; I also have a network post planned that will be backdated to the beginning of the month, mostly aimed at the people still chilling in Deerington but obviously anyone can reply to it.

I'm also not opposed to tagging out to/plotting out stuff regarding the soiree or the bathhouses! That just won't be covered in his TL + i dont have any specific ideas in mind for it at the moment.

EDIT: Here's his event tl!

buzz lightweight and amara the siren

[mrsnesbitt]

Character Name: amara the siren
Character's Class: first class baby
Preferred Player Contact: jabbers or PM
OOC Limits: i don't want to kill her in this event but i'm down for just about anything else. though honestly even that is negotiable if we come up with a good enough scenario

Desired CR: anything! she's new
Unwanted CR: come at me bro

Event Ideas: amara is a space magic wizard who is brand spanking new! so new i haven't even set her up oocly yet! oops!

-i'll do a TL for stuff before and during the sinking; she's very fighty and won't be all too pleased about this situation and might react negatively to the crew members
-THAT BEING SAID she does consider herself a hero so when everything goes to pot she'll focus on trying to help people to lifeboats and fight the things that come aboard. if your char might need saving, she's your muscular angel! if you want to beat the hell out of these various sized lizards, she's also your muscular angel! who wants to punch godzilla and do exactly no damage? she wants to punch godzilla so bad
-also down to party with the salts when she makes sure they won't make her head explode tbh

Character Name: buzz lightsnack
Character's Class: second
OOC Limits: please don't kill him :(

Desired CR: anything! i'm especially down for more negative cr for whatever reason because it's funny to me
Unwanted CR: anything romantic, but why would you

Event Ideas: oh, buzz. the toys are so out of their depth (Heh) here

-he'll get away mostly fine and probably feel shitty about surviving because he's Like That
-will be dunked in the ocean at one point and get stuck in his spanish language mode, though he won't actually be spanish buzz. it's el buzzo time, and he will hate every second
-hmu for the itty bitty committee that'll survive the wire just by being too small!! it's fine he's already seen guts before. it's fine, he's fine

[finaletea]

Are you ready to deal with Mami thinking her parents are alive!!!!

Real talk.... do you wanna go party at the Soiree together?

Eames || Inception (AU)

[falsify]

Character Name: Eames
Character's Class: First
Preferred Player Contact: FiremanSam or Frankentine#0816. PM is fine too, I just find my inbox seems to be more unreliable.
OOC Limits: i'm just saying i will literally set my hair on fire before i let eames' dog die

Desired CR: all of it please. just give it to me. i'm always up to handwave introductions/basic interactions so we can skip right to the good stuff too
Unwanted CR: no such animal

Event Ideas:

-the soirée
he's gonna go every time. probably leave before midnight the first couple of times, but he'll experience the wire eventually. the ~~spooky boat~~ is gonna stress him tf out because he'll be convinced it's an illusion but he can't break it? even though it's his speciality??? how fuckin dare

-Bathhouse
Eames loves this and he'll probably be there a lot. And also stealing salts for use and/or sale later. and mentally/physically recovering from the soirées because what the fuck

-Sinking Ship
doggo's going on a lifeboat, he will be very distressed to be separated from eames so i hope he's on a boat with someone nice. (i can totes handwave past meetings too so he'll be more trusting, but generally he's a gentle baby)

he'll probably raft his way to shore unless someone hoists him into a boat, and he'll help people ashore once they reach the lighthouses. strength might be getting sapped, but he has his magic still so that's something

he is also completely ready and willing to beat the shit out of a sharktopus (with help) he's so tired and angry

welcome to rapture
he hates it!!! this is creepy and his magic is gone which is like suddenly being asthmatic for him

but also he's a nosy bitch so of course he's snooping around rapture.

if anyone he doesn't hate is going back to/staying in deerington, he might ask them to take and look after his dog tho. who wants to babysit a sad rottweiler???

[thebigred]

we should!! do something!!!

Robin's boys

[suchmiracles]

Preferred Player Contact: laetificat or laetificat#7520 or PM.
OOC Limits: I'm going to be avoiding the soiree/wire prompts. Also no deaths. Probably.

Kurt Wagner | Marvel 616

[suchmiracles]

Character Name: Kurt Wagner
Character's Class: Third

Desired CR: Anything and everything as usual! New CR or building on current CR, it's all good!
Unwanted CR: Not looking for really negative CR right now, unless we've already discussed it.

Event Ideas:

Kurt is not AU'd for this event, so he's fully aware of everything that's going on. He also has an open post for pre-event stuff.

Bathhouse: A beautiful spa surrounded by strange ethereal creatures? Kurt's going to feel right at home and will probably be hanging out in the bathhouse pretty frequently. Feel free to bump into him there. It won't be awkward if everyone is naked, right?

Sinking Ship / The Ship Goes Down: Kurt is going to leap into action as soon as the ship starts sinking.
⤷ As soon as things start getting watery, Kurt will ditch his inhibitor collar and start teleporting people off the ship and into the lifeboats. If he sees a Sleeper, he will attempt to grab them and teleport them to safety, whether they want to be or not. His teleporting is still warped so there's the potential for it to go horribly wrong (or just end up dumping them out into the sea), if you want to do that! It will also be increasingly painful for both him and his passengers, so hopefully nobody minds being covered in blood. He will become increasingly frantic so won't be sticking around to talk. Please let me know if you want Kurt to rescue your character, which can either be handwaved or played as a (short) thread.
⤷ The teleportation will take a toll and Kurt will eventually fall into the water, where he'll be chomped by a sharktopus and saved by Jean-Paul.

The Lighthouse: By the time he reaches the islands Kurt will be in a pretty bad state, so he won't really be doing anything besides being a burden. He will be influenced by Mother Superior though. I won't play this out unless anyone wants to help carry a slightly mangled and very wet elf!

Fern | Adventure Time

[laminae]

Character Name: Fern
Character's Class: Third
Preferred Player Contact: diremuta or pan#2663 or PM.
OOC Limits: No sexy bath salts, no deaths for Fern.

Desired CR: Pls give me all your AUs. I'm loving playing around with classism and people having legit early 20th century reactions towards Fern because of what he is. That includes people being afraid, offended, hostile, and slightly less negative responses like thinking he's a fascinating supernatural/scientific/magical/religious anomaly. Is he some offshoot evolution? A demon? Some mad science project? Who knows!
Unwanted CR: None.

Event Ideas: Fern is in third class and retaining his memories. I have an event post here!

→I'm interested in reactions to his visible inhumanness (along with Grass Demon stretching his tentacles and making him more monstrous than normal) and low class. NPCs respond to him with extreme prejudice.
→He's moved from his current cabin to Kurt and Logan's, since he sleepwalk/stabs and in general is having a really hard time already.
→He's stalking Peter and Will Graham so expect to see him lurking around first/second classes.

On top of the stalking he has stolen at least one potted plant, terrified and shoved Peter Graham into the pool, knocked out one third class NPC and picked a fight with several others, and freaked out passengers while breaking into the upper class areas by crawling up the side of the boat. At this point NPCs are likely gossiping about one of the demons on board harassing people.

The Soiree: Open to close calls, Fern seeing his cr get cut up, or having him potentially lose a limb (since he can regrow himself).

The Bathhouse: He wouldn't go here on his own, but if someone wants to drag him there I'd be open to it.

The Sinking Ship/The Ship Goes Down: Fern is available to get anyone who needs saving! He can fight, swim and doesn't need to breathe so he's in a good position to fight stuff or get people to lifeboats. He won't help non-Sleepers or people he doesn't like, though.

Rapture: Fern is going to be heavily nerfed for this, to the point where at times he'll have trouble keeping his body held together. He might collapse into a pile of sentient grass but it's fine. Totally fine.

[mrsnesbitt]

FERNNNN do u wanna hang out... non-human solidarity... can also do the soiree if you want buzz to scream about fern's arm coming off

thom creed | hero

[hopecanruinyou]

Character Name: thom creed
Character's Class: 3rd
Preferred Player Contact: itsmel or mel#0452 or PM.
OOC Limits: still deciding whether he dies this event tbh

Desired CR: anything
Unwanted CR: nothing

Event Ideas:

the soiree - i'd actually love to have thom get caught by the wire and have his injury get passed over to someone else nearby as he heals. something bad enough to make thom really PANIC over the fallout. lost limbs or straight up death, the more dramatic the better. or failing that, if someone just wants to come across him after and try to talk him through a full scale panic attack over his power finally maiming and or killing someone.

struck in the dead of the night - thom isn't going to try to fight godzilla or anything, are you crazy?? he's definitely going to have a very loud moment of "are you fucking KIDDING ME" over the reveal though, before scrambling to try and organize a safe evacuation among the passengers.

the sinking ship - thom's not even going to try to get into the life rafts, he'll be focusing on getting other people safely out and he's sure to run into some grindylow in the ship hallways as he searches the ship for anyone that might be stuck deeper in the ship. he shouldn't have much trouble fighting these off, and since they swarm their prey, thom's recoil healing should hit the grindylow attacking him, rather than anyone nearby at the time. he's not going to have as easy of a time with the sharktopus, and i could see him getting genuinely messed up by one of these before his healing manages to kick in and hurt the thing back.

the whole sinking ship scenarios is basically going to be one bit stress experience for thom trying to avoid taking damage in any way that might ricochet back onto a fellow passenger, and i'm not against him dying if he does trying to protect or save other people at the time.

i think the way he would probably bite it would be via a power overload (either simply from healing too much too rapidly in succession or by catching a stray electrical wire straight to the chest) where he has a seizure and passes out, though if someone wants to be around to keep him from going under the water and drowning after that we can work with that too.

welcome to rapture - considering the especially rough time thom's going to have keeping his messed up powers from hurting anyone this event, discovering that his powers seem to be mostly gone down in rapture is going to be a mighty relief to him. as in, crying tears of joy over the fact that a cut on his hand is still bleeding levels of relief, if anyone wants to interact with that strange situation.

[possessum]

Def. need to do something with Thom! Peter's AU'ed, first class, nervous & possessed, pretty much the same but.... slightly less traumatised..... If there's anything in particular you still need filled for your plans with him (I think I saw that you already have people set to rescue Thom but if there's anything else!) I could slide him in.

Otherwise, maybe he bumps into him down at the pool or something? He goes there a lot too; he'd probably try to coax Thom to join him. We could even incorporate something with Peter's demon situation that could give Thom a bit of insight into his deal for their CR development? Like, maybe he demons out a bit at the pool (his demon likes water a lot). I'm assuming everyone's going to remember any Titanic events when they all get their normal memories back, so what happens here can be used for CR!

Detective Loki (Prisoners) / Quentin Beck (MCU) / John Morris (The Sisters Brothers)

[detectivedwloki]

Preferred Player Contact: grindelwald or PM.
OOC Limits: Anything goes, but probably not death yet

Desired CR: Open to anything and anyone! Gimme your random encounters.
Unwanted CR: n/a

Character Name: (Detective) David Loki
Character's Class: Third

Event Ideas: David will be exploring what's going on with the Soiree then he'll witness the creature collision and abandon getting into a lifeboat himself in favour of finding others and helping them to get to safety first - especially those from the third class quarters so if you want him to find and rescue your character, we can do that! He also has some roommates there, so they can also meet up first. He could possibly have an extra reaction to going deeper into the Lighthouse, due to his religious tattoos. Open to other things during the event as well.

Character Name: Quentin Beck
Character's Class: First

Event Ideas: Beck will likely go to The Bathhouse and have a nice spa and hopefully some encounters there with a few people. During the sinking he will try to be first on a boat and actively avoid any trouble with that, looking out only for himself. I'm very open to other things happening, if people have ideas and want to bump into him.

Character Name: John Morris
Character's Class: Second

Event Ideas: Open to things, as always. Morris will be caught up in the sinking and probably miss the lifeboats, possibly caught on board and get pulled under. Somebody want to keep him from drowning? He can swim, but suction and cold and exhaustion...

Note: For the most part and by the end of January they'll probably all remember clearly who they are. Beck being a bit more AU'd than the other two, with a fuzzier memory loss, just may take a little longer.

[possessum]

I always need more Gyllenhaal in my life! We could do another thread with David and Peter to expand on their CR (even though they're both AU'ed at the moment), or I could toss him at one of your other guys. Maybe something during when the disaster hits — fumbling around in the water, bumping into Grindylows or something like that?

richie tozier | it

[kissingbridge]

Character Name: richie tozier
Character's Class: 3rd but technically 2nd.......... it's a whole thing
Preferred Player Contact: itsmel or mel#0452 or PM.
OOC Limits: his death for this event is already decided, and i probably want to avoid maiming but eh, i'm flexible

Desired CR: anything
Unwanted CR: romance

Event Ideas:

the soiree - there's no way richie hears about this thing and doesn't sneak up to see it at least once. like i said, in the limits, i don't want him maimed by the wire, but i'm totally down for a deep cut that he needs help wrapping up after. mostly, i like the idea of richie exploring this new decrepit ghost ship after the accident, because he's a kid and nosy alright. company is definitely welcome on this little investigation, of course.

the bathhouse - despite rooming down in 3rd, richie 100% has access to a second class token and will be taking hella advantage of the blue salts, once he discovers their calming properties. people that remember seeing him skulk around 3rd could question his presence in the bathhouse, or just notice how often he seems to rely on the blue salts. he probably strikes up many conversations with the various spirits in the bathhouse as well.

he'll use the green salts once with eddie, because of course he does, and they'll both disappear into the ship storage after for a little backseat bingo, because of course they do.

the sinking ship - richie's gonna be pretty torn between fining his "dad" barry or eddie, once the trouble starts up and be sort of reckless about looking for them. there will be plenty of opportunities for people to rescue him from a stray live wire, a swarm of grindylow, or the sharktopus itself, since he's hardly well equipped to deal with them himself and he's going to be more than a little distracted. richie's unlikely to put any sort of effort into saving anyone himself, though. maybe other kids, if they happen to be in his path at the time. MAYBE.

the ship goes down - richie manages to make it off the ship and into the water, but he and eddie will both succumb to the cold and the water before they can reach the lighthouse.

welcome to rapture - when richie comes back to life, it will be in rapture, with his old memories of deerington and home back, at which point he gets to sort through the fallout of the fake life titanic had created for him, which is going to be honestly MISERABLE for him, but will also be a good opportunity for him to meet up again with any new or built upon cr from the titanic. for one, he'll be reconnecting with his fake dad barry and working through his complex feelings over that whole mess. and of course everything with eddie, whoops.

Re: richie tozier | it

[hitactor]

backseat bingo richie? really?

Chris' folx

[variantcover]

Preferred Player Contact: objectpermanence or millennial falcon#9103.
OOC Limits: Gwen and Nadass will not be dying, but I'm open to the possibility of Merle dying.

A NOTE: I will be adding event prompts to my open log rather than posting to the event post.

Gwen Poole | Marvel 616

[variantcover]

Character Name: Gwen Poole
Character's Class: 1st

Desired CR: people to help her fight a sharktopus, or possibly stop her from trying to fight the sharktopus.
Unwanted CR: I'm trying to keep my event involvement light so will only do one open prompt and one or two closed ones.

Event Ideas: Gwen will NOT attend the soiree or the bathhouse. When the ship starts sinking she's going to try to (like I said above) fight a sharktopus. This is not the best idea, as her weapons of choice are swords and guns and the sharktopi are blade and bullet proof. So people can either try to help her, or try to stop her. Eventually, Gwen will give up or be stopped, then try to escape the rising waters with her roommate Credence/Aurelius. They will get separated and Credence will be in danger, but then BAMF! Kurt will come in and teleport her to a lifeboat. Sorry, Credence.

Preferred Player Contact: redlionspride at Plurk or "RedLionsPride#9087" at Discord. PMs ok too.
OOC Limits: Ben will be dying. Unsure about Genji and Sally. Green bath salts probably wont come into play.

Ben Hanscom | It

[thenewkidontheblock]

Character Name: Ben Hanscom
Character's Class: 3rd Class

Desired CR: Looking for friends, bullies, mentors, parental figures, anything.
ROOMMATES: CABIN 12 - Ray Stantz, Sasuke Uchiha & Ilias I want CR with you all!
Unwanted CR: N/A

Event Ideas:
Soiree:
Ben will not be attending this I don't think. And if he does he will be leaving before midnight. Depends on if others will be there but I doubt he'd go.
Bathhouse:
Again, not much reason to go here.
The Sinking Ship:
HELP NEEDED: As the waters flood the lower decks and doors get closed, Ben is going to get caught down below with others. He's going to run into a pack of bitey Grindylows!! If anyone would care to help him out of that situation, I would be grateful. I would like to allow him to get bitten up pretty bad, but out of the water before a sharktopus comes to eat him. Though if you want his blood to attract one, I am more then willing to help deal with that!
The Ship Goes Down:
WILLING TO HELP OTHERS: Despite the bites and bleeding, he's going to get out and try to climb. He'll totally try and help someone get a hold somewhere! If your character needs help! He's going to get caught by the undertow and end up drowning or freezing out here in the water and die!
Welcome to Rapture:
Unsure! I'm not sure how this will go if he dies. Will look more into this.

Ruby Rose | RWBY

[clickclickbloom]

Character Name: Ruby Rose
Character's Class: Third Class
Preferred Player Contact: jjabarrett or jjabarrett#9701 or PM.
OOC Limits: Not really looking to get sliced and diced by the wires. Open to just about everything else.

Desired CR: Brand new so I'm looking for just about anything here. Ruby's high energy with a dash of social awkwardness so it's easy for her to either make fast friends or be nuisance to anyone she's just met.
Unwanted CR: None that I can think of off the top of my head.

Event Ideas: Ruby's been AU'd and believes she's serving staff in the dining areas. She's clumsy but has the absolute best of intentions. If you need a refill of your drink or your meal dropped right into your lap. Hit her up.

Her memories outside of the event will be coming and going.

For the current prompts.

The Soiree: Not looking to have her injured here but I'd be open to having her try and help out anyone who has been. Or be absolutely traumatized. Whichever works.

Bathhouses: She has been working super hard on this boat and deserves a chance to relax. Would mostly be looking to use either the pink or blue salts. Green if going in for the cuddles.

The sinking ship: Look. Ruby has to at least try and fight Godzilla because it's freakin' Godzilla and she comes from a world where fighting monsters is just a career choice you can make. Depending on how badly that goes she will be to try and protect anyone she can from the sharktopus and other nasties. As well as be attacked herself.

Aside from that I'm open to any other sort of mishaps that might come from trying to escape a sinking ship.

The Lighthouse: Ruby's going to need some help getting to the lighthouse. Any of her normal abilities that would get her there fast now also drain her stamina severely.

[foundakeyandangels]

First, I love their CR so far and look forward to more.

Second, I'm slightly cutting up Sally at the Soiree, so if she wants to be traumatized and help out a bleeding Sally, I'd be down.

Or better yet relaxing time in the bath house for a bit. Healing help. I'm goinng to get to our tag here in a moment and i'd love to see where their chatting goes, but I clearly want another thread later.

And last, you know.. for some reason I had a feeling she would try to fight Godzilla, and I'm not even clear on her canon other then i think she's a fighter. So I laughed t this.

Jessie | Toy Story

[yodelling]

Character Name: Jessie
Character's Class: 2nd though she's been living exclusively on the 2nd class deck
Preferred Player Contact: teeff or teefflady#2361 or PM.
OOC Limits: She's not gonna die.

Desired CR: As always anything and anyone- Jessie's having a really bad time on the ship so she's not trying to lay low as she usually does. So it's the perfect time for new CR to come across a freaked out lil' ragdoll
Unwanted CR: No romance- anything else is fair game.

Event Ideas: Jessie will be getting an open toplevel.
The Soiree - Due to avoiding the inside of the boat thanks to her claustrophobia, Jessie will have the pleasure of seeing all of this. Being 10 inches tall, she's safe from that wire trap, so she'll just get to witness the whole goddamn mess. Her PTSD has been triggered enough on this ship already, so that she's bearly keeping it together, this'll finally push her over the edge into a full-blown panic attack. Anyone current CR or otherwise is welcome to try and comfort her. Or, you know, freak out about the sentient doll, either-or is aok.

The salts - Eventually Buzz'll get some blue salts to dump on her and make it so she can actually function for the rest of the month. She'll have all those lovely side-effects, occasionally seeing flashes of people and toys who are for sure not here. She'll also forget people's names- she'll know she knows you, but sorry buddy, she can't recall what your name is. Are you a Bob? You look like a Bob. Ironically forgetting/abandoning is one of her major triggers and she'll be vaguely aware that she should be really upset about having her memory played with, but the magical salt-Xanax makes her way less stressed about that than usual. Frankly, she'll feel less stressed and anxious than she has in literal decades and she's gonna steal some to take back to Deerington with her.

The sinking ship - She'll be trying to direct people to the lifeboats while being very confused about the whole Godzilla thing because what the hell you guys??? She's inorganic, so she doesn't worry too much about all the critters, but thanks to Newt giving her his book for Christmas, she does at least recognize what Grindylows are and can help people avoid being eaten. She can't help you with the sharktopus, sorry guys, she's got nothing.
Eventually, she'll end up on some broken furniture to float off along in the ocean- please someone scoop her up and bring her onto your lifeboat. She'll be soggy and smell gross, but the most harm she has to worry about is a flooded voicebox.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Character Name: Albus Dumbledore
Character's Class: Second Class
Preferred Player Contact: queenoftheimps or PM.
OOC Limits: Dumbledore is currently AUed, and I would like to keep him that way through the end of the month with only occasional flashes of his real memories.

Desired CR: Anyone who wants to sink in a boat together!
Unwanted CR: None I can think of.

Event Ideas:

1) Dumbledore is going to be doing his best to help anyone who needs it get onto the boats, including trying to break any grates he encounters. If anyone would like him to try and help their character in peril or have him try to get them into a lifeboat, he will be more than happy to do so.

2) He is also going to panicking over his brother Credence Aurelius and trying to get him off the boat as well, so if anyone wants to help him look/panic, he'll be doing that for sure.

3) I am admittedly somewhat tempted to have something terrible happen to him during the sinking, possibly including death. He is both male and not a member of the first class, so he's probably going down with the ship at the very least and will end up in the water. If anyone wants to play this out, let me know.

[thepunshow]

Yang would be happy to help Albus look for his brother once the boat starts going down.

cheryl's weird blonde lady duo

[creidim]

Character Name: The OA Nina Azarova + Luna Lovegood.
Character's Class: Nina is in first class + Luna is in third class.
Preferred Player Contact: chaoticasphyxia or heolstor#5725.
OOC Limits:

+ OA/Nina: I will not be killing her this event, nor do I want any permanent maiming to happen for her. Some minor injuries.

+ Luna: N/A. She will be dying this month anyway. pls don't hate me

luna lovegood

[creidim]

Desired CR: Specifically, I'm really looking to get some more female CR with Luna. She needs more lady friends in her life tbh. I'm also always looking to build friendships with people her own age. Maybe it's people she already goes to school with, but hasn't interacted with properly yet. She's currently seventeen years old, and she turns eighteen on February 13th. Also: fellow misfits, outcasts, the magical/supernatural. And the British. Why not.
Unwanted CR: Negative CR that never resolves. That's about it.

Event Ideas:

I will probably not be doing an open post for Luna this event. Closed starters/tag outs only. That being said, I'll be trying to keep event things light considering my plans.

pre event: While I don't intend of writing an open TL for the event this month, I have an open post for her for pre-event threads and I intend on also throwing up an open TL for the Third Class Party Post. So if people would like something lighter with Luna, this will be an option!

the sinking ship: The main thing I want to concentrate on this month is Luna will be experiencing first death in Deerington. She will die saving Ben Dearborn from being hit with debris before she is suddenly struck and fatally injured with debris herself.

Before this point, as the ship sinks, Luna will be remaining on the ship for quite some time due to being a Third Class passenger. She's also been separated from Newt so she'll be looking for him and not wanting to leave without him. I'd like to see her being pro-active in getting people out of harm's way/to safety. She'll be found helping people to boats, trying to magically disarm dangerous electrical wires and shielding people from falling debris.

Additionally, she can be on hand to help deal with Grindylows when trying to get others out of the depths of the ship filling with water.

ren | fragile dreams

[catpiper]

Character Name: lexy
Character's Class: second class
Preferred Player Contact: drowninginpears or pillowcased#3068.
OOC Limits: NA

Desired CR: really everything is good!! hit my whole butt up
Unwanted CR: NA

Event Ideas: as a note, she's not au'd for this event, so she's p much fretting over everyone that is.

The Bathhouse - Ren's going to steal some of those blue and pink salts and probably try to eat them??? That's how it is. Once she notices the side effects, she'll be wary of them, but she's going to be particularly interested in the blue when she notes they calm her down. I'm thinking about having her hallucinate that Seto, her bud 4 life, is with her. Also having her get lost on the boat bc she can't remember where she's going. She's also gonna stress about all these ghosts and just Watch Them + warn incoming people to hide from them.

Also think about having her empathy go on the fritz here. Maybe she associates the wrong emotions with the wrong people, etc. If someone wants to play with that, that's gucci.

The Sinking Ship / Godzilla - She's gonna bolt and take any ppl with her when Godzilla appears, so if anyone needs an excuse to be dragged off the ship's deck, she can do that.

When the ship starts to sink, she's going to bolt from the chaos and hide whatever dry place she can find. This is where she will probably die, unless someone wants to save her. She'll be reluctant to take a spot on a life raft, because she's already sick and dying, so it might take a lot of convincing. She doesn't want to take the spot of someone who might have a chance of living a long life. She doesn't really Get Deerington death isn't permanent yet.

Unsure with whether she'll find debris and die of hypothermia or actual drowning from the ship itself.

Fern is a bLESSING andwill be getting her on a boat, but I'm still open to playing out scenes prior to that and after!!

Rapture - Hell yeah RAPTURE. I wanna do things here, even if Ren dies on the boat and it happens to be later on in the event. Gimmie that Raptiness.

ben dearborn's hair can't handle all of this humidity

[fumitory]

Character Name: Benedict Dearborn
Character's Class: second
Preferred Player Contact: dearlybeheaded or crybaby#8643 or PM.
OOC Limits: n/a
editing to add: how about some links? Ben in Deerington masterpost of info, basic info, and app if you've never encountered Ben before. his Titanic AU persona is here.

Desired CR: yes. genuinely. cr with young people to make Ben feel old and paternal, peers in age or professional backgrounds, odd couplings, irately working together, cr reunions, new cr, mentor/apprentice dynamic (Ben being either!), i could go on.
Unwanted CR: neg cr without substance (i love having Ben be prickly, and i love abrasive cr! if this is something we want to do, i'd like it to be open to developments of cooperation or possibility to become positive) and ship (suddenly that phrase feels like a really bad joke for this month)

Event Ideas: i'm still pondering what my possible open prompts will be, but i do have specific ideas that i'd like to fill out and would make planned starters for with anyone interested in the following:

✦ Ben helping your character on the sinking ship if they're stopped and dismayed that they've lost their friend/pet/personal item and therefore cannot get into a lifeboat until the thing is found. side quests during harrowing disaster moments!

✦ your character is trapped! possibly drowning! Ben is not an astoundingly capable human being, just one of the very normal variety, but he will still try, damn it. (it's possible i might make this an open prompt, but hit me if you want something special for this.)

✦ grindylows! sharktopuses! Ben does not have a fighting bone in his body but i keep throwing him into action scenes anyway! (it's possible i might make this open too, but again, if you want something specific...)

✦ i won't have Ben die during this event, but i do expect him to be up the creek without a paddle once the boat is going down; he will be ushering people into boats and trying to pry gates free, leaving him stranded on the sinking boat once the lifeboats have all filled up.

✦ Ben is carrying his father's bible, which means he will be urged to pursue the depths of the Lighthouses. want to investigate with him?

✦ i will be having Ben regaining his memories throughout the disaster and during his stay in Rapture. his memories will still be hazy, but recognition will be stronger. shock and trauma will both dull him and awaken him, which i would love to play with if anyone wants something emotionally intense while they recoup through the shock of everything happening.

✦ with the first aid kids and supplies available, i'd love something involving physical care of small to moderate injuries, established cr or new. (could be an open prompt, look out for it.)

don't hesitate to hit me up here or add me on plurk if you want this catholic exorcist pseudo-witch-man academic in your character's life. i plan on posting a top level between today and tomorrow latest, so come talk to me! additionally, if you have any pre-wreck plans for indulging more in the ship's setting, i'm available!

[revenante]

Okay I know we've already mentioned Ben and Luna but

please imagine: Ben and Nina!OA having a full blown argument about getting on lifeboats to the point he will literally make her get on the damn thing.

Lucille Sharpe | Crimson Peak

[blackmothwings]

Character Name: Lucille Sharpe
Character's Class: First
Preferred Player Contact: awakened or PM.
OOC Limits: I'd like to avoid death, but I'm open to her getting injured.

Desired CR: Everything! Positive and negative CR is always welcome. I would adore CR with characters that might challenge her world view, or help her see things from a different perspective. Situations that get her to feel Feelings are always welcome and loved too.
Unwanted CR: She's amnesia'd during this event, but I'd still like to avoid anything that outright points to her canon self being a murderer unless it's properly discussed on some level first.

Event Ideas:

Her AU background post is here

1. Soiree
I would like her to experience the abandoned ship. She could have a close call with the wire, or she might avoid it altogether. Either way, she'll be trying to 'wake up' from the dream that she thinks she's having. Her dream will unsettle her, but she'll be curious about it too. She will have a hard time believing that it's real.

2. Bathhouse
Goodness knows she could use the blue salts for her own anxiety and constant restlessness. Once she realizes their effects, she will go to the bathhouse more often. She might try the other two as well. For science, of course.

3. The Sinking Ship/The Ship Goes Down
She's pretty useless, but AU Lucille has a soft spot for kids and will probably fight to get them on lifeboats, regardless of class. She doesn't take no for an answer either. Watch her argue with people and try to get her own way. She can get scary when she's mad.

4. Welcome to Rapture
She may spend a few hours in her AU mode, but will quickly switch back to normal Lucille. She's going to be very confused and deeply disoriented though. It will freak her out a bit so she might try to latch on to someone for help/back up. Two minds are better than one, after all.

[fayzedandconfused]

I would love to thread with Lucille again!! Brianna's going to start getting her memories back during the sinking and refuse to get on a lifeboat, so maybe we can do something with that?

Peter Graham | Hereditary

[possessum]

Character Name: Peter Graham.
Character's Class: First.
Preferred Player Contact: eyestalks, Jhey#2354, or PM.
OOC Limits: I won't be actually killing Peter off, but anything else is all good!
WARNINGS: In general, this character comes with demonic possession and this heavily influences his behaviour. Warnings for what that very often will involve are listed here (as well as other content warnings for him).

Desired CR: Any! While he's currently AU'ed, some CR in general I would love to touch on now or in the near future: I'm forever here for anything to do with the supernatural/occult, others who have gone through trauma, people around his age (17), younger people to fuel all his guilt about his little sister issues, older people to make sure he doesn't die (though he's very slow to trust adults)... I'd love to play around some more with his Mom Issues, as well. But I especially love putting people together and seeing how they develop on their own, given Peter is extremely malleable / can easily and quickly shift according to a situation, so he could go lots of ways with interaction, really!
Unwanted CR: None! I'm absolutely here for "negative" or ill CR. Peter could very easily be perceived as... undesirable / creepy / upsetting / etc., and others having a quiet (or open) aversion to him would be great to explore. Igniting insecurities in each other is also a thing I love playing around with. There's also plenty of potential for the demon in him (Paimon) to butt heads with certain folks (or be drawn to them in a "positive/curious" way).

Event Ideas: Peter is currently "AUed" to believe he's a first class passenger whose immediate family was recently killed in a tragic accident, and who is also suffering from a ~supernatural malady that is actually demonic possession — detailed information found here! I'd still love to play around with this in this setting, so I'm here for some day-to-day Titanic things that aren't event-related, especially spooky supernatural type things involving his possession or others' supernatural situations. He's going to keep the memories of what happened during this after he regains his actual memories, so interactions on the Titanic can still be good for CR, one way or another!

— THE SOIREE
Peter will be attending this, possibly on multiple nights (he'll leave early enough to miss out on the wire business). There's potential to meet new people or expand on some CR. On one of these nights, he will stay long enough for all the Wire Death to happen, and Fern (who Peter believes is a demon from Hell personally sent after him...) is going to strike and try to murder him. OOPS. Peter will get saved before that can happen, but the experience is absolutely going to shake him and send his paranoia into overdrive afterwards.

— THE SINKING SHIP / THE SHIP GOES DOWN
I'd love to play out some disaster things: Peter is first class so he'd have quick access to the lifeboats, but I'd enjoy having that progress halted for a bit: somehow getting trapped somewhere, helping someone, maybe he has another one of his odd zoned out spells and ends up wandering down to lower classes... There's lots of wiggle room, here. I'd love to have him encounter some Grindylows and potentially need rescuing. He'll think they're yet more demons personally sent here after him.... and he'll find that throwing salt at them doesn't work.... Eventually he will get to a lifeboat, and I'm game to play out people helping each other, searching for each other, etc.

— WELCOME TO RAPTURE
I'll be waiting until next month to do things with this as more details are released, but I do know that Peter will be getting his memories back at this time, and he will be staying in Rapture rather than returning to Deerington.

[suchmiracles]

How would Peter like to meet a very demon-y looking fellow as he tries to get them both to a lifeboat?

[anklemonitor]

Character Name: scott lang
Character's Class: first
Preferred Player Contact: spoonishly
OOC Limits: no death for this one

Desired CR: i love all cr
Unwanted CR: negative for the sake of negative

Event Ideas: scott's going to have his memories back by this time so here we go!

➔ soiree: scott'll definitely be attending but he's not gonna be around for the wire business because no ty. he'll head back to his room before that to call margo or something and be on the line with her when shit starts to goes down. but no getting cut in half.
➔ bathhouse: he'll prolly stop in but if he eats anything, it'll be the green salts. but i think he might just go to chill and relax and rest since he's gotten burned by eating things before.
➔ the ship goes down: scott's gonna be using his first class status to help as many people as he can. he'll be one of those last people off the ship kind of deals.
➔ rapture: i'll be thinking on this one but oh man, i love rapture so much.

Mami Tomoe | Puella Magi Madoka Magica

[finaletea]

Character Name: Mami Tomoe
Character's Class: Second! Also she is AU’d!
Preferred Player Contact: sekoshi
OOC Limits: Not gonna have her die this month! Also as always, avoiding topics of rape & self harm.

Desired CR: Pretty much anything!! Just try to keep her AU in mind for the month! She’s mostly herself but also not really. And like mentioned in her AU, it’s totally up to you how you want your character to react to her!
Unwanted CR: No romance w/o significant CR.

Event Ideas:
- The Pre-Bad Times: Mami will in fact have some nice times in her top level since I didn’t do anything with the setting so far! This will mostly consist of her actually enjoying the cruise. If you’re looking for a more chill time with her, this would be it! If you’re interested in doing something specific please let me know!
- The Soiree: I’m beheading her. I’m kidding. Though I do want her to get caught up in madness one of the nights! Probably have her come late to actual slicing then get caught up in the ghost ship. If you’re interested in joining her for a bad time, let me know!
- The Bathhouse: I probably won’t make a prompt for this but I’ll keep an eye out for other toplevels with this if you want Mami to hang out with your character! However it will probably be limited to female identifying characters only, sorry! Also she’ll be in a towel.
- The Sinking Ship / The Ship Goes Down: I’m gonna let Mami be lucky and able to get on a ship mostly because I’m really trying to avoid her dying this month. She’ll be there to aid anyone who needs to escape as well. Although she’s a “human,” she’ll do her best to fight off any of the beasties who try to take a bite! Maybe some of her powers might slip in by accident…
- The Lighthouses / Rapture: Mami will be going to Rapture for February! I’m open to her exploring a lighthouse with some people as a moment of calm before descending to a watery hell. Your character is welcome to try to take her back to Deerington, but she’ll refuse to go. She doesn’t know what that place is after all.
As for major Rapture stuff, I’m mostly going to be holding off until February to REALLY get into it. Up for a little exploring for now, but again let’s not go crazy. Those Plasmids though… hmm…
- Wildcard: None of these prompts working for you? Hit me up here or plurk if you wanna plot something else up! Pretty open to a lot of things so just let me know!

Character Name: Simba
Character's Class: Third
Preferred Player Contact: Teenysanguini or PM.
OOC Limits: I‘m pretty down for anything!

Desired CR: More friends.
Unwanted CR: Nothing.

Event Ideas: Simba got himself locked in one of the kennels. Someone let him out before the boat sinks? He’ll be missing out on the soiree event (lucky for him). He’ll be going to Rapture as well.
