Free stuff will definitely get her foot in the door. He's primarily raising animals, so he might give her some milk or eggs on occasion. Just because he feels like it. IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
XD It's okay, Dohko. Scrooge is depressed and self-loathing already. You're just...letting him stop bottling it up...? 8D;;;
Yay! She will happily accept the gifts (cause it means that he is warming up to her!) and will just give any eggs to a certain neighbor who is determined to court her.
XD Dohko will stick around and help him with his hangover. And plus he will keep whatever was said between them private.
It's just because it'll all go bad if he doesn't do something with it! It's a waste of food otherwise!
Good. Because Scrooge does not want any of that stuff to get out. At all.
Also, you better be prepared to help him muck out the barn and chicken coop among other things. His animals need him not to sleep through tending them.
CANON: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland CHARACTER: Alec "Alice" Liddel BASIC INFORMATION: This is a genderswapped grown-up sad-boy AU version of Alice because I am garbage and can't be left alone with nice things. He had kind of a rough childhood and developed some hardcore dependency on escapism to cope with it, but now that he's out of all of that and trying to live his normal life, his brain is still wired for past trauma and he has problems not just always escaping to "Wonderland" any time anything is even remotely scary out in the real world.
Alec is kind of a mess; on the one hand, he deals with a lot of heavy stuff revolving around his own identity and crushing loneliness and self-deprecation and a tentative (at best) grip on actual reality, but he's also perfectly good for cute threads where he's nervous and quirky but ultimately means well and tries very hard to be a good friend.
He likes tea. And rabbits. And books! And scarves. And shopping, people watching, daydreaming, going on walks, eating food, listening to other people tell stories, and not being told to go away even though he's kind of a mess. He is very curious about anything and everything, especially unusual people.
CURRENT PLANS: HONESTLY just getting him to make some friends and acknowledge that his farm exists.
WANTED CR: This kid needs someone who will take care of him because otherwise he will not remember to feed himself and he will not run his farm and he will just wander off into the woods and come out three days later because he got lost. I'm also really down for CR that makes him question his reality or causes him to actually fucking acknowledge any of his traumas or negative coping mechanisms. He does surprisingly well with cunning scary types because he is smart enough to keep up, but dumb enough to keep talking to them.
And now I'm imagining Scrooge hungover as hell, waking up when the sun is high in the sky, and panicking because his animals haven't been cared for yet.
HELLO I KEEP STARING AT YOU IN THE POSTS but have been too shy to actually tag you yet but with a Wanted CR headline like that I'm sold.
Alec's used to Wonderland, so he might actually find them refreshingly normal. Because "weird" has become his "normal". And he could use some friends. :(
Now that Alec is like, slowly realizing that maybe the things he does here actually matter and he isn't going to wake up from this weird farming dream any second now, I would love to snag some more threads with ur boy. :(
Alec has next to no practical skills, but he can still visit Horatio just to see if maybe he wants to hang out? Not that he knows how to hang out--but he can try anyway!
Dohko will just come out into the area with no shirt on, grinning and assuring him that he took care of his animals while handing him some old Chinese medicine.
I mean hi we're like two comments in but I am having fun and I think that maybe their combined Definitely Not Dealing With Trauma could turn out really interesting! Plus he would want to hear every. single. story. if he ever finds out she isn't really totally human.
Hi so Alec is just going to keep finding her hermit hut over and over again.
Like that's just. Going to keep happening.
partly because he's always getting LOST BOY LEARN TO READ A DAMN MAP
It literally does not matter if she likes him or not he'll just keep showing up like "um hello ma'am can you please tell me which way is the way to 'not here' because I seem to have lost it again", etc.
I'm loving it too! And just glimpsing his app in info...yeah, he and Toby definitely have some common Trauma they can ignore together.
It's likely he'll find out pretty quickly since illusions are Exhausting for Toby and once she realizes she's not going to get shackled with iron for it she won't bother most days. And depite her awful mother etc she does have nice stories to tell about the Summerlands and being a knight and all that.
Manfred already has this dumb kid following him around, so I don't even need to comment here, but:
Heads-up to like everyone else: Manfred already has this dumb kid following him around. So! If you get to know him, you will probably be meeting her too!
It's mostly that DH Fatima knew Manfred, but because Celia tags along with him for like, everything, yeah they knew each other a bit too. And will get to know each other again because I know you're not leaving Manfred alone OK
yesss come to meee. their favorite team sport is bullying people into taking care of themselves, they're here to make him sit down and eat a sandwich and occasionally process a trauma here and there. it's good for you you can do it, Alec.
ALSO NGL I WENT DOWN TO CHECK OUT HIS TOPLEVEL AND LITERALLY CACKLED OUT LOUD AT "because I am garbage and can't be left alone with nice things." biggest mood in existence,
CANON: OC! (from vaguely Fullmetal Alchemist-ish world) CHARACTER: Phalanx BASIC INFORMATION: The quickest way to describe Phalanx is that they are like a stack of kids in a trench coat trying to get into an adult movie, if those kids were actually a pile of ghost-pieces inhabiting one body, and they were trying to pass as a single entity instead of a grown-up. On the outside, they are an unsettling-but-extremely-harmless-looking human, but it's all kinds of crowded and crazy on the inside.
They don't know how they came to exist, or why, or what all of these disjointed memory pieces they have actually mean, but being sort-of-alive now is a pretty great thing and they're happy to be here. Phalanx is a generally placid and friendly being, if chronically confused, and has been wandering without a place to be for as long as they can remember existing in this body. They will very much appreciate having a space of their own in the Valley... even if they'll end up wandering away from their own property more often than not.
Phalanx will ping as magical, haunted, maybe even as undead, to those who can sense it, but they are not a tormented bundle of spirits. Who knows what they might be capable of if they'd actually had their shit together, but since even talking and walking is a frequent challenge, they're basically the most harmless, amiable eldritch horror you will ever meet. (I will have a for-real information post in Phalanx's journal eventually, I promise!)
CURRENT PLANS: None! Phalanx is a being of wandering and aimless curiosity, so they're basically the best for random encounters and weird CR. Throwing them random places when I have the tagging urge is literally all I have planned for them. WANTED CR: Pretty much anything?? I've been out of the RP game for a long time and I miss being around people, so I'm kind of hungry for anything. Phalanx needs very little reason to be somewhere and be curious about a thing, and they tend to bounce back from (and often forget) things that happen, so they're hard to make a permanent dent on. I'm very happy with random things that don't need reason, either dark or fluffy, and just seeing where things go. I'm easy!
ANYTHING ELSE? I don't follow plurk closely, because I am a busy, flaky bitch, but don't hesitate to friend me if you feel like it! I miss being around people, even if it's just to silently float along on someone's timeline or share bullshit about RP! Come at me!
CANON: Exalted CHARACTER: Silk BASIC INFORMATION: Deathknight, kind of a ho, low-key wants to die, lower-key wants to live, actually very much a ho, still not really a bad guy, at least not while he's here. Or read his pick-up post.
CURRENT PLANS: Absolutely nothing. Right now Silk doesn't really know why he was invited to Starhue but it strikes him as an interesting enough diversion from his life to stay a while. He'll mingle and try not to rock the boat while keeping what he is as much on the down low as possible, not just because he can't regain essence if he uses any of his power here (not without rocking said boat) but because he's still just curious and what he is tends to freak people out. WANTED CR: Silk is here for you! He likes people, they're distracting whether it's a positive interaction or not. I am open to Silk making friends with or without benefits and enemies...also with or without benefits.
