My hobby is being shit at everything

[ahegao]

INTEREST SHARING meme.

These are a few of my favorite things…

how do you do?
- Your character shares with the class what their interests, hobbies, focus, or goals are!
- Characters chime in. Maybe they've always wanted to learn underwater basket weaving or to overthrow the kingdom. Then again, that other guy may just be here to mock your passions. Questions are valid, too. How do you play Dungeons and Dragons? Why do you care so much about your uncle? What's the deal with gluten-free baking?
- Thread. Have your character learn something new. Build CR.

I'll teach you the trick to becoming a demon king, in exchange for some pointers on LoL.

[freedominapathy]

Teach me the tricks.

[kimchis]

Sure, but first things first. What's your current rank this season?

[freedominapathy]

Uh. 12?

I press plants and take rubbings of things I see on my travels.

[ She rummages through her things and presents a scrapbook practically bursting at the seams. Inside are numerous pressed flowers and ferns, rubbings from bark and stones, all labeled of course. ]

[freedominapathy]

[ Sam... couldn't care less. He blinks at the offering and takes it, because that seems appropriate. ]

Why?

[crystalbetrayed]

At first, it was because I was going places I never dreamed of. So I wanted to take little pieces of those places with me. Now? Now it's a tradition. And it's fun to see how differences in the environment changes the flora.

I like cooking~, it's my favorite hobby as strange as it sounds for those who know me.

I'm a florist by trade, chosen to accommodate my interest in floriography. My green thumbs do help, however.

[freedominapathy]

More than one green thumb?

[burnedorange]

I keep a few in reserve. Should one die on me.

[freedominapathy]

Does that happen often?

[burnedorange]

You know what plants are like. They can be very fickle.

[freedominapathy]

I am not the best gardener.

[burnedorange]

Tell me what you struggle with the most. Maybe I can help.

[freedominapathy]

Remembering to water? I do have a garden, but I tend to be on the road too long. It'd be easier if they didn't strictly need me.

[terrifies]

I make, and detect, forgeries, and value antiquities. Mostly museum grade trinkets, coins, but occasionally supernatural ones. I dabble in a bit of everything unreal, and I can give you hints for spotting a fake, or for making a fake, depending on what it is.

I want to be

I'm going to be

I'm a writer.

[freedominapathy]

That's ambitious.

Were the cross-outs intentional?

[greenpillow]

Drafting is a very important part of the writing process.

[ Self-deprecating teasing, yes. Total sincerity, also yes. ]

So, do you have any ambitions?

[freedominapathy]

I don't have any ambitions on the same level as becoming an author.

[ Pauses and rubs the back of his neck. ]

I want to learn more about myself.

[greenpillow]

Honestly? That might be way more ambitious.

[ He rubs at the back of his neck, self-effacing, and she can't help but smile. It's such a human gesture. ]

Found out anything interesting so far?

[freedominapathy]

I found out I was a bitch.

[ Shrugs. ]

Nothing interesting.

[greenpillow]

But not anymore, huh?

[ She frowns. ]

Wait, do you mean you're literally trying to find out about yourself? You don't remember?

[freedominapathy]

I hope not.

... no. I don't remember. It's sort of a secret.

[pharmacy]

My hobbies? Ah--I guess I'm into like...esoteric shit. Dreams are my big thing, like--symbology and lucid dreaming and stuff. But once you start talking about that, it's really easy to trip into, like, demonology. Ufology. Parapsychology. All the weirdass ologies. But I'm just like a dabbler, I guess. Do you want another beer?

[shattered_spirit]

I don't blame you. Even on this side of the Survivor, Killer line, that guy that's harassing you gives me the creeps.

[pharmacy]

What, you mean he's not a regular charmer on his own time? What's he like--with you guys?

[shattered_spirit]

Like an absolute creep. It's pretty obvious to tell he wants to treat us like he treats you, especially any of us that were young women before we became freaks like this.

The Entity doesn't want us actually trying to kill each other. So instead he taunts us or acts real chummy. Cracks morbid jokes that only he and the clown find funny.

[pharmacy]

I am really wrestling between feeling way better or way worse that the guy that ruined my fucking life sounds like the complete dweeb of his own social circle.

[ Gotta wonder what's stopping him from causing havoc in the dreamworld here, but god, it's actually not SUPER fun for him to chat lightly about Freddy Kreuger, so: ] Do you dream? Here, or...y'know. Anymore?

I like to play strategic card games for coin.

[ And grievously take other people's money in the process — ]

[silverarmored]

[Okay, that's interesting.]

You must be very good indeed if they are enjoyable for you. And I suppose that lightening someone's coin purse must be, as well.

[ilk]

[ She has to fight the urge to break into a huge grin. Someone wants to discuss her slow careen into a gambling addiction card games with her! ]

I've made several enemies that way, ma'am. Are you much of one for cards?

[silverarmored]

[Luciana notes that barely restrained enthusiasm quite easily, amusement sparkling in her dark eyes. There was a time when she wasn't much for gambling or cards-- something about being unladylike, but that's changed too.]

I can only imagine! I haven't had much time for it myself, I'm afraid. But I would like to change that.

[ilk]

Would you care to learn?

[ Anahid always carries her Carrick deck with her. And, by movie magic, they're in some sort of liminal tavern or gambling house - a perfect place to sit, have a drink, and learn a new game. ]

I'm particularly adept at Carrick, but there are other games of speculation and chance I'm still learning myself. We could struggle through together.

[silverarmored]

Very much so! And maybe someday I will make many enemies through card games, too. [That is a particularly amusing thought-- as if she needs that on top of everything else.] If nothing else, perhaps it will also help me in future strategies.

[But it's clear that she's excited, setting her drink down to the side and giving her new acquaintance undivided attention.]

You can teach me Carrick first-- but I'm eager to learn whatever else there is.

[ilk]

[ Anahid takes a seat and, after ordering herself an herbal tea (it isn't wise to imbibe and gamble at the same time, after all), starts to outline the rules Luciana. Her source canon barely elaborates on the specifics of Carrick, so this bit will have to be largely handwaved. With liminal spaces comes literary vagaries, and so on.

After a few minutes of careful explanation and a test hand or two, giving Luciana the opportunity to ask any questions Anahid hadn't already thought to answer, she'll say - ]

Typically, it's a game of wagers. But since this is your first time, it's up to you whether you would care to be so bold.

[ She doesn't mean to pose the challenge in so ungentlewomanly a fashion, it just kind of... happens. ]

[annarr]

Only cards?

[ilk]

Traditionally, yes.

[ A soft tilt of her head. ]

Did you have something else in mind?

[annarr]

It just seems like you'd have even better luck diversifying. In the general sense of 'luck,' of course.

[ilk]

[ Her nostrils flare, just a little. ]

I do not rely on luck.

[annarr]

Well, but you must generally have it. [Head-tilt; consider; ignore considerations.] Or manufacture it.

Oh! Hmm, let's see... I like checking out new food places. I like singing too, so I go to karaoke with friends. And, I paint! Sometimes. I have a couple of paintings on display at my apartment.
