Handwaved & Assumed CR Meme July 2021

Hello, Trainlings! Checking back through the comms, it looks like the last time we had a "Handwave/Assume CR" Meme was back in January, so here we are almost in July, bringing the information forward!

New Players and New Characters, this means you, too! We want you in on this meme as it's forward facing for what your characters will do during train-bound downtime!

Handwaved & Assumed CR Meme


Our characters are blessed, or cursed, with confined living spaces, and have all their own schedules and rhythms to dictate their daily lives. So how do they all interact with each other? What do characters with pets or companion animals do? What do those pets or animal companions themselves do?

This meme is a chance to see how characters may recognise each other or their pets/companions in passing, where they may be sharing spaces at similar times, or have met other passengers, allowing the kickstarting of CR without having to play out every first meeting or smaller interaction on train. Who has the time for that? (Not me, I cry emphatically, not me.)

Below is the form to copy and paste into a comment below; if you'd like to have line breaks or paragraphs, either use <br /> or <p></p>. Dreamwidth default formatting will not work in the below.

The sleeper cabins can be found here. For the top image in this code, images (animated or still) of around 500 pixels in width are recommended.

Lan Jingyi
Purple Team
🚆 They were roommates!

Sleeper Upper 2 | Cabin D

✨ Sleeping habits?
He's generally a good sleeper unless he has a reason to want to stay up late, and when he does go to bed, he falls asleep fast. He sleeps on his back with his hands folded over his chest, which surely looks super natural to everyone. He's not much of a restless sleeper, but when he is, he'll kick his blanket(s) off and wake up with an arm sprawled over his head and one leg akimbo.

When on train, in his smaller fox-sized dragon form, if he sleeps he's curled up in a nice tight ball for the most part, with his head on his own back. If for some reason he's migrated to sleeping by a roommate (or friend) in dragon form, prior to being back in his own bunk due to train antics, he prefers to sleep above and cradling their head or half sprawled across their torso. Hug-a-noodle, it's great therapy! For them both.
✨ Room use habits?
He whines about the small room spaces to the train daily, but he makes the most of it for doing some early morning arm stretches. He has no particularly strong modesty needs himself, but will adapt to whatever's comfortable for his roommates, so: Ansem, Casper, Xie Lian, he'll just bluntly ask if they're bothered by nudity and then haul off to the end hall spaces to change (or shapeshift) if so. Otherwise he does not care!

He keeps his bunk fairly neat, but not perfect, and his clothes are stored properly when not being worn. If he shifted to dragon while in room he's left most his robes draped over the bed. If he had to go out of room to shift, he's... still left most his robes draped over the bed. Or bench, if he's on a lower bunk! He doesn't tend to wear train clothing prior to shifting, too awkward and difficult to get "modest" fast in.
✨ Bathing habits?
He enjoys bathing every day, thinks showers are fantastic, and also swims in the spa car in dragon form because it's really too shallow for human sprawling. He's scented with whatever the general shampoos/wash are, with an underlying high mountain sort of wind-scent, whatever that... means... how to describe, it's not so much pine as Very Clean Air.

As a dragon, in smol form as he needs to be on train, he would be willing for friends or new friends to brush out his mane (from his head down his spine to his tail tuft, or the tufts of fur at each limb), or oil his scales when he's dry. Mutual grooming is a thing for him back home, but with zero other people from his specific home here, he's a bit "... Whatever, roll with the punches" about it now.
🚆 What are choo up to?
✨ Chore habits?
Chores are normal for him and he'd help out with chores, though how much you'll want him to do so will vary from chore to chore. Have him help with stirring and chopping in the kitchens, or serving, he's not the patient cook so things requiring that are not great left to him. It's entirely possible he'll mess up the washing machines at some point (too much soap being the likely problem), but cleaning? Okay he's got that in a hot water and rags sense, also soaps, what are any other cleaning supplies???
✨ Eating habits?
He'd eat on the regular depending on how regular the team in charge of meals is, and while he is technically most often vegetarian, he particularly enjoys chicken and is willing to at least try every weird new thing while wrinkling his nose and going "ugh what is this even" with appropriate responses for if he finds it good or not after. He doesn't leave the dining carriage with food for the most part, but definitely eats snacks in other places, and if he ends up absconding with alcohol to drink somewhere is absolutely going to do that, full stop.
✨ Exercise habits?
He regularly stretches, runs, and does sword practise in the gym, then takes on dragon form (about the size of a fox, eastern styled dragon) to fly around the tops of the greenhouse and garden carriages. He isn't familiar with the other gym equipment but would be willing to learn for curiosity's sake, but might... accidentally... break something, so maybe better not? He's happy to spar with anyone or work on swordplay, and is game to learn different styles as long as a double-sided longsword is applicable.
✨ Entertainment habits?
Once he's figured out the library is less than robust (hey, he was going to check), and that there are moving picture stories in the movie carriage, he'll enjoy entertaining himself there. To entertain himself elsewhere he'll also play tag-like games with any of the companion animals who're game to do so with a smol dragon, be a more curious gardener than he has been in the past (there's that flower he took off his platform on accident, gotta tend to that, too), and be up for learning other games or means of entertainment shared by fellow train passengers.
✨ Media preferences?
His favourite movies and series to watch will be action/adventures, ghost busting (he will hate any possessions happening and is The One who will shriek at ghost jump scares, why is he doing this to himself), and romances. Romantic comedies and happy ending romances, or ones where the sad ending is about life Being Like That, but he'll cry. He'll cry. Books wise he's willing to give most things a try, except for instruction manuals on modern tech? What are those? Why are they? What?!
🚆 A day in the life of...?
✨ Notable train-bound activities?
Zooming along in smol dragon form and using the transgates to pop around faster, while also being likely to cling to the top of doorframes and ceilings and talk to people below him/crane his neck around to look down at them.
✨ Notable physical traits/scents?
When not specifically trying to pass as fully human, in his human form he retains is horns (as seen in his icons) and a dragon tail, which consists of a thicker, white scaled tail that hangs down to the ground and then some and ends in a tuft of light blue fur, which likewise comes back up along the spine of his tail. Unless he's keeping it still, Jingyi's tail can be a decent mood indicator, and while it's not fully prehensile like a monkey's tail, it comes close! He can wrap his tail around his legs, someone else's limb, a torso, objects that are not particularly small, and so forth. The scales on the underside of his tail are broader than the ones on either side, similar to what might be expected on a snake.

Scent wise, only that he has an underlying scent of Very Pure Air that's more related to his elemental control (wind) than being a dragon.
✨ Notable non-physical traits?
To people sensitive to life-energies or spiritual energies, Jingyi does not feel fully human. He has 'Heavenly' aligned energies, due to the dragon soul his bloodline is part of, which doesn't make him a heavenly being at all—it just gives him an energy association opposite to what might be considered demonic. It's closer to light than good, and closer to good than life, and probably won't make a great deal of sense other than marking him as Other.
✨ Fun train-related character trivia tidbit(s)?
He spends time every day writing, rather than speaking, to the train. He feels like that makes his complaints more formal.
✨ Free space!
Jingyi is fairly outgoing and curious, so will pop in to ask what people are up to if it's new to him and in a mostly public space. It's easy enough to say he's at least spoken to people, and also fair to say he's loud, and as willing to engage as to complain as to offer to fight if it gets down to it, though less likely the fighting on a confined train with all his most respected seniors represented. He behaves! Sorta! Just don't threaten his friends, or family. Or the new friends he makes? Don't make threats, don't do stupid stuff! Thanks!
🚆 Welcome to the Voidtrecker Express!
We hope you enjoy your stay.

We absolutely need to do things together :D

Ryo is an avid gardener, and he'd also be happy to help with brushing and scale oiling if asked. Also, these two need to discover cheesy horror movies together.
jingyeets: (smile | wish i could relive)

[personal profile] jingyeets 2021-06-30 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Laughs, certainly, please! Ryo's likely seen him in the greenhouse to poke at plants (more or less helpfully, depending on who else is around) or pet the bunnies belonging to his Childhood Hero (Lan Wangji), and will fall into asking Ryo after what he's growing and why. Also very easily toss down and shamelessly be like yes of course do groom me, this appeases the dragon. (He may or may not put it that way.)

Oh oh oh look maybe Danny can get them into it? Since he seems to like specifically looking for cheesy horror to watch (or even Murphy, he seems to like campy horror) and thus via one of those avenues they're introduced to the concept and genre?
fivemilesdeep: (That smile)

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2021-06-30 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Look, if Jingyi can prove himself to be responsible, Ryo will start teaching about the herbs from his world that he's got growing in his greenhouse patch and how to mix them together to make certain medicines. It's good for other people to know in case Ryo ever goes home.

Ryo is a healer and has steady hands - he'll pick up dragon grooming 101 soon enough. :|b

Danny should absolutely get them into it :D I'm envisioning Danny laughing, Ryo fascinated, and Jingyi hiding his face in his hands when Ghosts Occur

...I feel like if Seto ever saw the smol dragon he'd react with childish wonder. You are so cool, sir.
jingyeets: (sass | and you're under fire)

[personal profile] jingyeets 2021-06-30 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Seto please do say this, Jingyi had his whinefest about being So Smol onboard, and would at this point accept the compliment and go, "Trust me, I'm even more impressive at full size." Sagely, since he knows he can be full sized on worlds/off train he's so happy about this!

Re: Lan Jingyi | Untamed AU

Thanatos is often in the greenhouse, so they could cross paths there. Also, Thanatos practices his one-hand sword, so maybe something there?

I know we chatted about this but noodle naps in Zewu-jun's lap and brushing out noodle fur is definitely a thing that happens!
