It’s CR Meme time! It's time to touch base with where players are at with their characters in game and look towards the future! While not a requirement, CR Memes are helpful in forging connections with others, along with general housekeeping for what characters are up to during their time in game.
Below is a helpful form to use in laying out your thoughts!

Aurora Feat: N/A
Wanted CR: Like... anything really!! Would love various types of friendships/acquaintanceships, fellow religious folk, military, "out of timers," CR with his CR's CR (like, friend-of-a-friend-type stuff, although depending on who they know not necessarily actually FRIENDLY, ya feel,), people who find him an Annoying Fussy Prude (derogatory) so it's a bit tense/awkward/antagonistic perhaps... so on. I've been SOOOOO slow CR-building remains an ongoing work-in-progress for me — totally my fault, please forgive me!! — but honestly I want to play with all of y'all!! Unwanted CR: I'm pretty open to anything! Whether it develops that way or we discuss it etc., the only thing I'm not too keen on is CR that's just going to hit repeated dead-ends rather than develop or really go in any further directions.
Day to Day: Most days he'll likely be at the Community Hall working on keeping an up-to-date supply inventory and maintaining those records etc., and he's often at the church too, of course, and always on the weekends for Bible study!! Otherwise he might just be at his cabin, or doing this or that around town depending on the day.
The Story So Far / Plans: Irving has retained a bit of his usual resistance to The Extraordinary™ here even after the events in The Terror, but of course that's starting to wear down. He was a bit changed shortly before his death, but it's not had a great deal of opportunity to sink in yet between everything going on now, although it's still at the back of his thoughts and kind of brewing within him... but he's an avoidant person at heart, so there is a lot he is still yet to face. He tries not to think too hard about that fact his murderer is alive and well and in town, for instance, and he's yet to encounter the Darkwalker or be changed by any Auroras, but he obviously can't exactly disbelieve other people's accounts on such any more than he could disbelieve the Tuunbaq's existence. For now he's convinced this whole experience is likely some manner of afterlife (although what kind clearly remains to be seen) if only because he can't begin to imagine any other possibilities. I'm definitely very interested to see where further time/development will take him from here, but for now he hasn't undergone any major "arcs" just yet.
YES PLEASE FLING HER AT HIM, I NEED CARLY CR... I have a catch-all for him HERE that (currently) doesn't have any open prompts written, but I'm going to be writing at least one or two using TDM prompts if there's anything there that interests you!
That or you can just wildcard me ofc :') Would she go to church??
I was thinking (at least!) the Juice Tea that Changes Your Appearance so he could have all his death/postmortem scars, but I haven't decided yet if I'll be doing any more! Need to give the TDM another read over, I think. Either way, would LOVE to do a thing; happy to do both scars as well as Kate's bad memory, if you're up for that!
I MEAN... between the two definitely the former. Not that he isn't horrified on a (near-)daily basis just by standard Sailor Behaviour™ (let alone proper Victorian debauchery!) but he is at least slightly more prepared to encounter such things. (Slightly.)
ALSO JUST AS A FTR I would be super interested in Kieran CR at some point in the foreseeable — maybe even very near!! — future, I don't currently have any brilliant ideas for it yet (besides the Hickey/Gibson connection) but just wanna put that out there anyway...
kjgfhdgkjdf (slightly) ...and then is probably also freaked out by the lights and the music and the fact it's also a pool party..........
Also yesss, I'd be down for him getting CR with Kieren. Kieren would probably be a bit weird with him in terms of the whole religious stuff if it comes up, since his canon does deal with religious fanaticism in regards to zombies — it's a whole fuckin subplot and yikes
Irving upon glimpsing modern swimming costumes for the first time 😨😱‼️‼️
RELIGIOUS FANATICISM IN REGARDS TO ZOMBIES... what a phrase lmao, yikes indeed!! That could be fun to play with potentially, depending on how we wanna approach it! Irving isn't even a fanatic but it's an easy mistake to make...
something something revelations I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death something seconding rising something rise again incorruptible...

I'm not sure what's going to horrify him more: Kate being drugged and making out with people or just the actual concept of Modern Teen Parties itself.
