Handwaved & Assumed CR Meme July 2021

[jingyeets]

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.)

Nozomi Yumehara

Purple Team

🚆 They were roommates!

Sleeper Upper #4 | Cabin D

✨ Sleeping habits?

Nozomi's a snorer. She'll probably have moments like the GIF above show. She'll do her best not to wake up immediately, preferring a few extra minutes of sleep, but she'll ultimately get up and make up her bed.

✨ Room use habits?

Nozomi'll dip in and out of the room, especially now that she's trying to do something else besides fight all the time. You'll find the rollerskates she got from Tidus hanging up from time to time and switching between the train-given shoes and the shoes she also got from Tidus by the bed. Also, being Japanese, she'll have a habit of leaving her shoes near the door. Sorry.

✨ Bathing habits?

Oh, Nozomi's takes a bath every day. She's the kind of girl who'd spend longer than normal, but that's probably because the water feels good.

🚆 What are choo up to?

✨ Chore habits?

Nozomi begrudgingly does the chores. Because someone Hera will probably chide her for ignoring it.

✨ Eating habits?

Oh, Nozomi eats regularly, that's for sure. Cooking is another thing as she's still a hazard in cooking.

✨ Exercise habits?

Not really. If anything, she's trying to force herself to develop new attacks as Cure Dream and make herself more diverse. It's... not working out too well.

✨ Entertainment habits?

Nozomi is easily finding herself in the games room or the movie room, just going nuts over the stuff there.

✨ Media preferences?

Movies, TV shows, cartoons... this is the girl that will watch that Voidtrain cartoon and enjoy it!

🚆 A day in the life of...?

✨ Notable train-bound activities?

You'll probably find Nozomi wandering the halls if she's bored. Worst comes to worst, she'll be skating down those halls and enjoying it.

✨ Notable physical traits/scents?

Physically, Nozomi's big traits is her hair - maroon with tiny twintails done up. If those twintails are down, Nozomi's out of it. She also wears glasses. Because of her use of Cure Dream power, Nozomi does have a rose scent to her.

✨ Notable non-physical traits?

Because of how Nozomi came to life, they might sense a major amount of magic in her, but a lot of that is just her being alive. Maybe. Who knows, maybe someone can draw more of it out.

✨ Fun train-related character trivia tidbit(s)?

Nothing here, really :P

✨ Free space!

Anything else you'd like to say about your character's notable habits, or any petty vengeance they may be enacting, even as this very moment! Link to abilities permissions, give us word on animal companions, or anything else here!

🚆 Welcome to the Voidtrecker Express!
We hope you enjoy your stay.

Mami is always up for helping Nozomi train?

[cureofmanyworlds]

And Nozomi would love to have Mami’s help!

[averyusefultray]

Hera will absolutely have things to say if she blows off the chores. You get everything that comes with having a mom.

[cycledsingularity]

With all the kids and teens around, maybe the train put on a Little Voidtrain watch party they wound up attending together? Or just general bumping into eachother in the cinema car.

[cureofmanyworlds]

Yes! That would be awesome and really adorable!
