Character Name: Hajime Aikawa, here via Mayfield and later Gargleblasted
About them: He's Kamen Rider Chalice, was a horrible bug monster, wished himself fully human and is still not that good at it. Just managed to wish himself into a Changeling on accident because that was easier than having an adult conversation with Natalie.
Plans for the future: Hajime's still a Changeling but going to be wishing that away very soon on account of he just traumatized himself by having a few "oops, I actually turned into wind and can't turn back" issues. Last call for him striking an accidental Changeling bargain or accidentally wandering into someone's dreams, pretty much. He was also doing a terrible job of hiding the fact that he thought Natalie was pregnant a while back, so if anyone wants to get in on that blowing up in his face...
What kind of CR do you desire: He'd appreciate some sparring partners or people to talk to about how humans are really hard to figure out.
Would you consider having your character get hurt: Kamen Rider, comes with the territory.
Would you be interested in quadrants/pairings: He's in a pretty committed relationship with Natalie right now.
What are you explicitly NOT looking for: If it comes up, I'll let you know.

Other Info We Should Know: Peak tagging hours are evenings CST since I work full-time.

I would love to have Hajime wander into one of Bertie's dreams! Would you have a preference on it being more light-hearted or serious?

Excellent! I'm kind of leaning more towards light-hearted because I feed of of ridiculous comedy, but then again, a serious dream might offer interesting CR-building hooks, so I could go either way!

Well, we could go for black comedy if you want to wed light-hearted and serious along with surreal. Bertie has a general fear of vampires for various reasons, so he could be fending off an invasion of them or going to stake one as the most incompetent Van Hellsing on the block.

I like this idea quite a lot! Black comedy is great. And Hajime is pretty okay with vampires, so he'll be confused. Really, his monster empathy is great when dealing with the perspective of other monsters, not at all great when dealing with the perspectives of non-monsters.

He'd also be so confused by the idea of Bertie as a vampire hunter. Because Bertie.

Awesome! Did you want to start a general log for Hajime dreamwalking that I can tag into? Or should I start the log?

If you could start it up, that would be awesome!

Character Name: Bertie Wooster via Jarjammed!
About them: 1920's idle rich dandy who has a habit of landing himself in unwanted engagements. He's sweet, gullible, and lacking a spine in most cases. He'll try to help anyone he can, though! Just count on it going sideways quickly given that Bertie's schemes suffer from being planned by Bertie. He's engaged to Ienzo and sort of putting off the actual marriage for various reasons. His current excuse is that it would be a little uncomfortable when Eddie's presently mourning the loss of his husband. You know how it goes.

Plans for the future: 4th Wall shenanigans! Bertie's really going to start wondering about those strange dreams and probably post about it on the Bulletin Board when things start happening. In the meanwhile, he's searching for ways to buck Eddie up and possibly joining in Luce's religious meetings. He also might go consulting his and Ienzo's close CR about a proper Christmas gift for Ienzo.

What kind of CR do you desire: All CR! Bertie has a tougher time maintaining negative CR than most because he has a generally forgiving nature, but it's possible and I'm more than up for it! I also love positive CR, of course.

Would you consider having your character get hurt: Sure! He's a healbot via powerset thanks to Jarjammed, but let me know if you want to do anything serious so we can plan it out!
Would you be interested in quadrants/pairings: He is happily taken, but people taking an interest in him is always entertaining. I do enjoy writing him flustered.

Character Name: Zoe Washburne via Changed!
About them: Amnesiac rifle changeling. Zoe's been magically transformed into her signature gun on the show and has Fae abilities and frailties as a result. Zoe can dream-walk and make magically-binding contracts. She doesn't remember much about her old life at all, but she's still a fairly serious soldier with a major chip on her shoulder.

Plans for the future: 4th Wall shenanigans! Zoe is going to be really bothered by people suddenly acquiring dream-walking abilities. Apart from Lin and other Changelings, she's never met anyone else who does it, so this is going to be disturbing. IS IT THE KEEPER'S DOING? She's also going to be wishing Dustin some of his memories back... not realizing that she should have specified which missing memories. Fun times ahead!

What kind of CR do you desire: I'd love more positive CR. Zoe's beginning to develop a few close friends, but I would like her to have more of a network.

Would you consider having your character get hurt: Totally! As long as you're cool with her hurting your character back if there is any physical possibility of her doing so. Because she will attempt it.
Would you be interested in quadrants/pairings: Considering she doesn't remember being married or in love with Wash. Sure! For the moment, anyway. That may be changing soon... In any case, she's not actually all that concerned with romance, so good luck.

What are you explicitly NOT looking for: Death

Other Info We Should Know: I'm on PST, and I have a full-time job, so tags are usually in the early morning or evening on weekdays.

You probably saw and/or were responsible for actually approving it, but Zoe has her memories of Wash back, now miserable lost love interest bonding can commence in earnest!

Excellent, yes! I need to get in Zoe's wish for Dustin now. I'll do that this evening and then mutual lost love interest bonding! =D

Since Dakki has kind of, uh, hit it off with Dustin, I am wondering if there will come a point that Zoe takes notice of this. This sort of stuff between 'co-workers', such as they are, surely needs discussing? Or maybe discouragement?

Actually I am not at all sure how she'd react so I am open to suggestions for reactions. Ahah.

After regaining her memories of Wash recently, Zoe is going to have zero room to talk about coworker romance. Likewise, since Dustin's regained his memories of lost love, he's likely to be mopey. Zoe would actually encourage Dakki in the hopes that it would lift Dustin's spirits. I'm planning on setting up a thread for Dustin and Zoe to talk re: memories and will put in a prompt for Dakki and Zoe, as well! She's noticed something between them, but doesn't know its official, and would try to spur Dakki to make it so.

Aaah, good to know! This is a good plan and I will throw myself at that prompt as soon as I have the chance!

Player Name: Archer
Preferred Contact: magiradyne@gmail.com, skysplitter @ plurk

Character Name: Data Riku from Witches' Reign, though for the time being, he'll request you call him "Journal".
About them: Basically, Journal is a compilation of (almost) all the Weird Plot Shit that happened in the Kingdom Hearts series, given a human form and a heart made of data. Basically, he's an AI. He does have the capacity for emotion thanks to his 'heart made of data', but he's still very bad at understanding how to do the functional human being thing. Cut him a break, he's only been in existence for six months. He's a pretty levelheaded person, all things considered, even if he has a tendency to be self-deprecating due to identity crisis reasons.
Plans for the future: He's a newbie mcnewb, so I don't have any real plans! Let's do all the things.
What kind of CR do you desire: Give me all your ~~love~~ CR, don't give it to someone else. In all seriousness though, I'm up for everything. Right now I'd like it if he meets some real close friends here, and in turn learn more about himself. Best case scenario: he picks a name that isn't Journal, because that's just kind of sad.
Would you consider having your character get hurt: Sure. He's got six months of military and espionage training, though, so approach at your own risk.
Would you be interested in quadrants/pairings: If the CR turns that way, yeah!
What are you explicitly NOT looking for: Nothing, really, except for smutty relationships because no.

Other Info We Should Know: Meme dismissed.

Bertie needs to meet him. There is clearly not enough Riku confusion in his life.

Rikonfusion, even.

But yes. I approve.

Hajime and Journal need to meet, because Hajime is also not good at this whole human emotion thing and still fumbling through How to Human in general. There's an awkward "what are emotions?" discussion in here somewhere.

Yes good. I'd love him to have someone else who feels these feels. A lot of times it is strange and lonely, and for someone with the mind of a couple of teenagers... well, "strange and lonely" is not a fun place to be.

Hajime can so offer his experience and wisdom and I almost managed to keep a straight face through that sentence because he's still just not good at this...but company in the world of strange and lonely is always a plus!

And hey, he's got himself a girlfriend now; that's got to count for something.

Now that Natalie has met the Newbie McNewb, once all this vorpal blade business settles, she might well wind up finding him worth befriending. Which she will will possibly start off by quizzing him about just how ready he is for the upcoming winter and its lack of decent food.

He may get jars of preserves foisted upon him, is what I'm saying.

He's not ready, Natalie. He's not ready at all.

Fortunately he knows something about how to grow plants thanks to some work in Garden, but it's pretty hard to plant things in the middle of freaking winter. So he would definitely appreciate those jars of preserves.

~~having a human body sucks. why can't he just go back to not needing to eat or breathe?~~

~~Oh geez, she knows all about missing not having to eat or breathe.~~

They will be such friends. I can see it now.

Hooray! Actual friendship!

Character Name: Riku [jarjammed]
About them: A quiet, slightly moody teenager with a loner streak. He's gotten better at making friends lately but still keeps people at an arm's length until really getting to know them. Tries valiantly to be aloof and cool and fools absolutely no one. Prone to sarcasm and blunt, rebellious attitude in the face of adversity.
Plans for the future: Jabberwocky shenanigans, maybe. Should probably clear up his involvement in the Dustin Pranking Debacle before he gets himself into even deeper trouble, um.
What kind of CR do you desire: Boy needs friends something fierce, please force him to be social before I drag him out and hang him from the message board.
Would you consider having your character get hurt: Always.
Would you be interested in quadrants/pairings: [noncommittal noises]
What are you explicitly NOT looking for: The Romances, natch.

Other Info We Should Know: EST, peak rp hours are night/wee hours of the morning.

Hey, there evil prankster? So, once it is revealed that Riku is the one who traumatized Dustin, Zoe might like to have Words with him. 8D That's not so much friends, but Bertie would like to be Riku's friend. Maybe he can wander into Riku's dreams during the holidays or vice versa?

I would very much like both of these things to happen, specifically Zoe chewing him out and also Bertie continuing to be Riku's friend. He needs those, they are in short supply. I have to think up some holiday dreams for him, but yes, good.

Excellent! I will keep an eye out for when the reveal happens!

Character Name: Dustin Silver (OC) via Transmigration 9
About them: Dustin is a little man with a lot of brains and a lot of grump. His interests include fixing things, building unnecessarily complicated machines, and staring disapprovingly at people he's not fond of (read: basically everyone).

Plans for the future: Past month has seen Dustin finally clearing out his old house, officially moving in with Zoe, and starting a questionable relationship with Dakki. Currently working on a backdated motorcycle race with Hajime (might be open to onlookers?) and a Jabberwocky hunt, which may or may not go horribly wrong. 4th wall event is oncoming! A fellow from Dustin's old world (one Patrick Dawn via Tower of Animus) will be running around in everyone else's dreams, but Dustin will miss him for obvious reasons of playercest; we can count this as a plotting post for Rick, too, when that happens! Dustin will just be dreaming of a very quiet holiday to himself and will be grumpy at people who barge in uninvited. Otherwise, I believe Zoe is wishing for Dustin's memories of his dropped CR from Transmigration 9, which will make him remember his previous love interest and this will make things uncomfortable for obvious reasons. Combined with him possibly learning about Riku being behind the shadows in Megaprank, the end of December has the potential of being really unpleasant in the best possible way.

What kind of CR do you desire: Dustin tends to attract negative CR, but I'm open to whatever develops!
Would you consider having your character get hurt: No problems here! Just talk to me first, we can plan it out.
Would you be interested in quadrants/pairings: Currently in a casual relationship with Dakki, but Dustin is not exactly committed (I am so sorry for Dakki). If anything else naturally develops, I'll be happy to help make it work!
What are you explicitly NOT looking for: Nothing I can think of!

Other Info We Should Know: EST, peak tagging times in the mornings/early afternoon. Nearly done with this school semester, which may or may not mean I'll have more time to tag (since I'll be out of town for a good portion of the holidays). I will endeavor to keep up better than I did last month!

So, I would really love to have Dustin run into one of my 4th Wall characters during the event. I'm thinking Jeeves because the snark potential is astronomical. ~~Or maybe Wild West!Dustin could run into Zoe or Bertie over on the Big Applesauce side of things.~~

This can definitely be done and I'm looking forward to it! :D Bring on the snark. ~~Playing two Dustins at once would get very confusing for me, but my offer still stands for you to use AU!Dustin's journal so we can have Dustin-ception on part two of the event and terrify everyone~~

~~I would be down for Dustinception with some coaching on his voice.~~

Character Name: Natalie Waters, via Mayfield
About them: Natalie is a New World of Darkness-style vampire... or was, until wishing pond shenanigans got her turned human. She hasn't wished herself back because of complicated relationship-type reasons. She's pessimistic and prone to panic, and still getting used to socializing with reasonable people and otherwise being alive.
Plans for the future: The wish that turned her into a Changeling-style ogre will be undone shortly, and she'll be back to normal just in time for wacky holiday dream crossovers! I'll have a thread up for hers, which will be a nighttime shopping trip in her home city of Harbourvale. (Which may or may not involve finding a delicious stray shopper to eat because sometimes in her dreams she's still a vampire...) Also, until the snow hits, she'll be running around trying to gather and preserve as much food as possible for the upcoming winter.
What kind of CR do you desire: I'm up for Natalie getting out and making more friends, especially ones she can talk about fascinating magical things with. I'm down with her totally messing up and making enemies, instead. That's fine.
Would you consider having your character get hurt: Absolutely! Just talk to me first.
Would you be interested in quadrants/pairings: Natalie's already in a relationship with Hajime, which is going pretty okay, all things considered.
What are you explicitly NOT looking for: Can't think of anything off the top of my head, but if something's not something I'd care to do, I'll speak up, no worries.

Character Name: Dakki Sigal (

photonicfighter), via Mayfield
About them: Dakki Sigal is a purple space robot. She is very cheerful, friendly, and optimistic. She was a Guardian back in her home universe, which essentially boils down to "semi-elite mercenary that often gets hired to kill the heck out of things". She doesn't need to sleep more than once a week, so she can often be found wandering around in the middle of the night. Her immediate goals are to befriend as many people as possible, and then get the heck out of this place and go help save the multiverse. (Dustin Silver has given her weird ideas.)
Plans for the future: I'll be throwing Dakki at the upcoming dream event as well, and hers will essentially be holiday festivities up on the GUARDIANS Colony satelite. Which boils down to running MMO missions, partying it up in the space future, and not thinking too hard about the giant Christmas tree in the common area. There's a chance for fighty people to get their fighty on in a safe and controlled fashion! Beyond that, I'm open to seeing what happens.
What kind of CR do you desire: Dakki is intent on befriending everyone that she can, so I'm down with the sort of CR that results from that. She can lay it on a little thick, and maaaaaybe everyone's not down with that.
Would you consider having your character get hurt: Sure! Just talk to me first.
Would you be interested in quadrants/pairings: Dakki's got something going on with Dustin Silver right now, but I am not opposed to adding other people into the mix to make things even more confusing for her. :D
What are you explicitly NOT looking for: Can't think of anything, once again.

Other Info We Should Know: I'm running on AST (One hour ahead of EST), and my tagging speed can be sort of erratic, due to RL obligations and various wonky health things. Don't be afraid to contact me if there's a thread that you really want to finish or get a push on! Strangely, I seem to have more time to get tags done on weekdays, because weekends keep me out of the house and in a constant state of motion...

Eating stray shoppers, you say? 8D I think I'm going to have to throw Bertie at Natalie's dreams for the event. Already mentioned putting up that thread for Dakki and Zoe, but it might be fun for them to just have a good time together in Dakki's dreams, as well.

Oh goody! I already have ideas for where that can go! Bertie, you can help her pick out a nice tie for father, can't you?

CR MEME for December!
