AC is done - Laura (and Gabby) were easy, per usual, but I had to really scrounge for Caitlin.
sparklecap🌟
Fortunately I have some ongoing old threads with enough in June to count, but ... ugh. I hate having to do that, even if it is okay.
sparklecap🌟
I really need to do more with her in general - get involved with plots, reach out to people, etc. It's weirdly hard when she's at this stage of her rehab though - Frost is on board and more or less happy, but Caitlin is so resistant. And they're still separated, which probably doesn't help.
omnomivore
I'd love more Caitlin
omnomivore
Rosethorn is requesting greenhouse workers
sparklecap🌟
Hmm, that's not a terrible idea... Laura is the one who was super active about that before, but I think Caitlin needs a job, too. Something to help build CR.
omnomivore
And there's only inmate spots available in the greenhouse rn
sparklecap🌟
And something so that both parts of her are actually required to do. Frost would probably love working in the heat tbh, there's more for her to absorb from the air instead of other people
omnomivore
Just so long as she can control it well enough not to hurt the plants :|
sparklecap🌟
She's started wearing gloves, too, per Matt's suggestion
sparklecap🌟
would she be able to sign up on Rosethorn's post, or would she have to clear it with her warden first?
omnomivore
I forget, is she perma-paired?
sparklecap🌟
yep, with Scott
omnomivore
Cool. Then Rosethorn will probably give Scott a heads up, but unless he has a very convincing reason she can't, she wouldn't ask permission
omnomivore
Becky That's probably something we could handwave, if you're cool with it?
sparklecap🌟
nice! I'll take a look at the post
sparklecap🌟
.... man, I wish I'd actually had the time to go through with making Caitlin into Layla from Sky High for the last flood. I just couldn't fit in a rewatch so I wound up with her unaffected.
sparklecap🌟
it would've been real cool to have her with some of those plant power memories lol
Becky
Nah handwave. Scott approves and it spares him trying to arrange it.
bees-n-murders
i know that feeling. Clancy has spent so much time in his head and his research that it's... hard to break that habit
omnomivore
o7 Awesome. Rosethorn will be happy for the help.
omnomivore
...I just may have to wait to get my tag brain back tomorrow
sparklecap🌟
Becky awesome, thanks! we can talk more later about this and the power stuff too
sparklecap🌟
bees-n-murders no kidding. I just wanna shake her sometimes and tell her to go make friends or something but half the problem is that she doesn't think she can
Becky
Perfect. I'm hour to 90 minutes from home all weekend.
bees-n-murders
she doesn't think she can, and Clancy thinks friends are for suckers and also why
sparklecap🌟
Clancy probably needs someone who's just going to Aggressively Befriend him?
bees-n-murders
probably, but he's gotta get out there first xD I'm working on that this month!
bees-n-murders
(I would like for him and Laura to cross paths again btw, I liked their thread back in the bargeyard a lot!)
sparklecap🌟
I did too, and I would also like that! but I so feel you - it's getting them out there that's the problem
sparklecap🌟
Laura posts and runs into people and is relatively visible and active on the ship, she likes checking in with people and seeing that their needs are met. I have this idea of her basically trying to warden everyone, regardless of their status
sparklecap🌟
Caitlin ... sits in her room a lot and ... I don't know. that's probably a big part of it too. i need to figure out what her day to day life looks like. but she keeps to herself, regardless, bc she doesn't want to bother anyone and that's so argh.
sparklecap🌟
Frost does more than flirt and cause shenanigans but I also am not entirely positive on what it is she does either.
sparklecap🌟
what I should probably do, now that I think of it, is write a selfie about the two of them communicating in some way, to figure out what page we're actually on here and whether it's the same one
Becky
A home.
Becky
I think figuring out what they do during the day and communication will help. A lso maybe Scott's desire to meet up for breakfast or something can help in getting her (either her) out?
Becky
Or just use him as an excuse in some ways for open options in tags aybe. IDK. He'd encourage her to do stuff but I think at this stage 'work in the greenhouse' and 'meet me periodically in public' might be as hard as he'd push it. If you want more though he can push more
Becky
I'm trying to avoid starting a new open until I've got his plot thing rolling but I can if you need it. Or want it
captain
I feel like matt should help more - maybe he can stop by and ask her out for coffee periodically
captain
It doesn't matter whether he gets Frost or Caitlin
captain
And also when Steve breaks his hand he will awkwardly seek out Caitlin and I'm really doing that this month
sparklecap🌟
Becky I think that might be enough - a regular breakfast appointment would be good for her, and gives us an opportunity to handwave some convos, insofar as we might need to insert that they talked about this or that. I'm also v open to doing inbox stuff or casual tossing stuff around if we're both around
Becky
Casual breakfast meeting and some convos it is. And inbox stuff sounds good. I mean I WILL have a thing up relatively soon but I don't really know exactly when that will be. So meanwhile- Or I can just do a specific start for her. Whichever.
sparklecap🌟
captain I'd like that, and I think she would too - both of her, once we figure out how Caitlin reacts to Matt? I think we're close to wrapping up the thread we've got going now, yeah?
sparklecap🌟
and we can gloss over/ discuss how some of those meetings (dates?) might play out if you want, or we can write it - writing it out might help establish the cr a little better too
sparklecap🌟
Becky no rush! I'll hit it up whenever it goes up, and if you want to toss me a link or reminder when it does that would be cool too. what's the new plot thing?
Becky
<3 Scott's getting killed. Not really my plot, but he'll be dead and then aftermath opening
sparklecap🌟
oh fantastic XD
Becky
He dies a lot. May as well be useful :-P
sparklecap🌟
mannn.... cait knows people die all the time here but this might be the first time it happens with someone she like... knows?
sparklecap🌟
could be interesting to see how she handles it
Becky
Definitely should be.
sparklecap🌟
if she will actually know
Becky
I doubt he'll be subtle. Missing a day entirely, without obviously being missing (ie: dead), then he'll have to take a few hours to get shit together but he will be checking in on her ASAP
Becky
and, you know, death tolling
captain
Yeah - we can definitely plan more later :-) I'm gonna finish some work stuff and go running and then I'll be around tonight!
sparklecap🌟
also Becky I think that she may have gotten a little more control by now, depending on how closely he or Jean are working with her (or both of them? shobogan ?)
Becky
Let me know what you want and I'll put in a request with the Admiral? Or a more general request and you can decide parameters.
sparklecap🌟
sounds good!
Becky
sparklecap🌟
that works! slowly but surely will work for this I think. she hasn't been abusing them like when she first arrived, and she only accidentally iced someone once recently, and he didn't care much
Becky
If you want the percentage changed let me know. Trying for 'ore, but still has a thing to work for'.
Becky
Awesome. He wants her to get them back but also back with control and just being better
skipthedemon
There miiiiight be a public angry post from Missy on death (we'll see if it makes sense IC after actual interaction.)
sparklecap🌟
and he would know better than most how important control is ... I really like that he's doing it gradually instead of all at once
sparklecap🌟
skipthedemon ooh I look forward to that! honestly I think Caitlin is on team "you guys realize you're killing each other, right? even if you get better it's still killing"
Becky
I am really looking forward to all the stuff that's going to spark from this, in all directions. It's my favorite part of being in games.
shobogan
Depending on what you want to do I've very happy to handwave or backlog anything!
