THE ON-DUTY MEME



We're all used to playing our characters in special circumstances--sharing a bath, AUed into a robot, in the rain, lost in the ball pit (well that's one way to get your extra hour)...but how often do we get to actually play our characters doing their day jobs?

This meme is for just that.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Write a starter about your character going about their day/night at work, wherever that may be.

If your character is a doctor, write them checking in on a patient, or having a meal in the hospital cafeteria. If they're a lawyer, write them at court. If they're a professional ghost-hunter? Yeah, that'd be a pretty neat starter too!

Be sure to include some sort of hook that allows other characters to join in the action, even if your character works alone. Maybe they brought their pile of research out to a cafe? Maybe they need help with something?

2. Respond to other characters' starters.

3. Thread. Have a good day at work, or perhaps an awful day at work.

Bolaire Lathalia - Critical Role Campaign 4 - OTA

[panto]

[Whatever brings one to the Archanade, a museum of arcane artifacts (mostly weapons, if we're honest with ourselves), it's hard to miss the sight of the curator, Bolaire. He does stand out with the red curls cascading down past his shoulders and the while mask with such empty, empty eyes. Currently, he's fussing over a suit of armor in the front hall, but as he realizes there's a guest, he turns to offer an opaque, painted smile.

He has nothing to offer beyond a smile.]

Welcome, welcome, do come in.

lilith doret | lucifer's tears | ota

[ info. cw: sex work, blindness, possible reference to eye trauma, religious topics might come up. open to playing her in a canonically historical setting (1910s) or do a modern au. left it ambiguous in the starter. ]


( If you asked her, what does it look like, the street where you are, she wouldn't be able to answer. She knew the exact amount of meters from her cheap flat to the corner, where she stood. She could describe the feeling of the pavement, she knew where the curb dipped and fell into busy road. All of these things, she could explain easily, but what it looked like, this street where she worked, she couldn't say.

What Lilith does know is the sound of everyone who passes her by, sometimes so closely that she has the choice between stepping back or reaching out. Most oftens she does the former, though every once in a while, as if compelled, as if seeking or hoping in the most physical manner possible, she does reach out and brushes her fingers across the hem of a coat here, the tight waist of a dress there. Afterward, of course, she apologises.

As of yet, no one has returned the gesture. The touch for which she's starved remains unattainable. Thus, she stands in the same spot she always takes, in the same street she always walks and she waits.

She waits. )

Delia Battista ✨ Star Trek OC ✨OTA, 21+ for any shipping or smut

[attackpatternbattista]

[Basic gist: Largely faction-neutral Orion mercenary in her mid-thirties, can be adapted into most any Star Trek timeline point for ease of RP, flirty, easy to get along with, but extremely observant. Pilot, mercenary, ship captain. Also comes in various Starfleet AU flavors as desired.

As something of a mercenary with a wide variety of skills, Delia's "job" at any given moment can be kind of wildly varied. To using her ship as an escort vessel or doing a cargo run, to being boots on the ground as extra hands or security for a task, or acting as a third-party diplomat for any number of individuals, to say nothing of certain less-than-legal things she might be doing or involved in. Or she might be hired as a second hand to avoid directly implicating someone or something else.]
