FEBRUARY PLOTTING MEME

Welcome to the Return Journey's first plotting meme!

In plotting memes, we share what we're doing next, our dream storylines, and any gentle workshopping on tricky subjects or character choices — essentially a CR Meme with an optional smidge of How's My Driving.

These memes are not mandatory, but they are highly encouraged because it's a place to plan CR and communicate your character arc in a way that can get others involved with yours. They're meant to be low pressure and high yield. When in doubt, ask questions!

Every month, we offer a few different prompts or character-building questions. These are entirely optional; you can absolutely just fill in the base form if you want.

<b>Player:</b> <b>Contact:</b> <b>Notes:</b> Time zone, speed, and/or any other habits you want people to know. What do you like or frequently talk about? <b>Character:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>Status:</b> Warden or Inmate <b>Info:</b> Give us a brief rundown on your character! What kind of CR do they offer? <b>Plotting:</b> What have they been up to? Any plans? Recent open posts or threads? <b>Goals:</b> Do you have any goals in game? Topics you want to explore? Desired CR? <b>Etc:</b> Anything else!

Monthly Prompts

This month we're asking questions themed around consequences.

Think about the thing that your character desires most — if they failed to fulfill that desire, what would the consequence be? Does it change how they pursue their desire? Is it entirely personal, or beyond them, impacting others?

What consequences does your character need to grow? Consequences are crucial to telling a character arc for both inmates and wardens. Without them, there can't be stakes or tension, and without stakes or tension, there's no impetus to grow. What's a kick in the teeth your character needs? What are they robbing themselves of when they try to avoid these consequences?

How do consequences affect your character externally and internally? How do they react? What kinds of consequences are intolerable or tolerable, necessary or unnecessary?

lucifer and aki definitely need to talk DEVILS sometime

possibly over booze

[spanning]

i mean if lucifer's paying... LOL, no aki will grab his own tab.

aki's nonstop questioning was entirely him trying to gauge how closely lucifer fit his own world's definition of a devil, though 🤪 so if lucifer would find that weird, we could springboard smth off that maybe? just two dudes, hanging out in warden command and having radically different definitions of "devil"

[dealwiththe]

sounds like a date!!! lucifer will be fascinated... now if only he can get grace to talk to him long enough to tell him about HER angels... lmaoooooooo

[spanning]

all these angels and devils stressing everyone out, while lucifer is over here like "hello i am the og"

but yesss i can inbox you smth or we can set up a log, whichever you prefer! aki can suspiciously try a new space beer and pray it doesn't taste like gym socks

[dealwiththe]

I am down for whatever you want! Though a log might be cool at some point, for that sweet sweet bonus ac 😏

[spanning]

sorry i have been slogging along so slowly with these replies, just been frazzled lately. but i can get smth up in the next few days! i'll shoot you a plurk ping when i do.
