CR MEME

Below is a helpful form to use in laying out your thoughts!



alien things — Kostya's been in game for a year now and I really want to amp up the alien horror with him! There's a lot of potential for alien things and I'd love to explore more of it. People encountering this thing unexpectedly, medical folks to help him out with it, people for it to befriend (or alternatively, I'd also love any antagonistic encounters & Worm Enemies), people who can help it find ways to better adjust in this environment where it continues to struggle, I'm down for it all. Something that's been building for him is how to live in a community with others despite his situation and even finding ways to utilise it to help people? Maybe??
friendships / companionships — Kostya's a very friendly and sociable guy, but his Worm Situation has meant he's kept up a certain distance from most folks, even those he's on good terms with. I'd love to strengthen / deepen his cr and find ways to bond with more people, or meet some new! He's also been a "concept" of a thing for so long that learning how to People more genuinely is still really new for him, so I want to do more of that, too.
dadly things — Coming with heaping doses of Father Abandonment issues of his own, Kostya also perpetuated the cycle and ended up abandoning his own son, too! Uh oh! Naturally this is an immense source of guilt in him and he's barely scratched the surface with Son Feels. I'm always here for all the dad talks, themes, younger folks, fellow parents, etc.
other — fellow monsters, fellow heroes / those with complicated experience regarding such a role, anyone with fellow lab rat / experimentation experience, opportunities for leaderships & team-up things. I'd love to find ways for him to become closer with the community itself and become more a part of it. I've had the thought that he might try to offer some kind of particular service to people here, or find people he can help out more in specific ways
Kostya can be a big harmless flirt, but he's spoken for romantically — having fallen for his undead ex-Chekist roomie (as one does)
— Dealing with the fallout of September's events, in which his alien passenger killed & fed from an Interloper NPC during the chaos. Feeding from human blood stabilised its (and Kostya's) condition for a few weeks, but he's now back to being very ill, and isn't handling it well. The knowledge that in order to feel well and be more capable he'd have to feed regularly from humans is a pretty hefty one.
— Now that the alien has freshly fed from its preferred food choice, Kostya's going to be extremely worried that it might want to do that again soon, so he'll be concerned with making sure it knows who's Friends. We don't eat Friends. He'll be looking to really get into things like talking more to his cr about it / getting them "closer" to this thing / trying to train it / learn more about its functioning / etc. It goes directly against his preferred method of handling things, which is to Run Away & Ignore the Ugly Stuff, so I'd love to keep pushing against his comfort levels there.
— Inbetween all that, he's become Boyfriends(?) what are Labels?? + some Bisexual Panic?? with Vasya, after they survived the harrowing Forest Talker Invasion in September together. Konstantin's Genuinely In Love with someone else for the first time in his life (incredible but terrifying!), and has a lot of personal reservations / uncertainties / fears about his situation to go along with it. Being So Close to someone feels like the last thing someone like him should do, and there's endless guilt about the life he's "left behind" back home. All that said, I think he's having to learn how to let himself be genuinely happy, and what that actually means.
— atm I'd really love to do some cr-building / expanding type things, and dive in deeper with Kostya in this setting now that he's been here for a good while and largely fizzled out of the idea that "Escaping This Place" is the main goal. Now it's more about surviving and helping others survive, and finding ways to have as good a quality of life as he can despite his "condition", as well as possible ways to work with and around it. It's a constant part of his existence now, and I'd love to explore that concept more deeply! The longer-term psychological effects just as much as the physical, etc.

folks to nanny — in his nervous but resilient way.... Edward is not a Paternal Type necessarily, more the "I have responsibility for someone and it's My Job" type, as well as "falling to the role of Reluctant Nanny / Middle Manager because I had to, as the First Lieutenant of a failing expedition". He's been embracing it more these days and actively fussing over / trying to take care of people. This could be for young folks but also anyone, really
guard dog things — For a long time now, Ned has been struggling with the concept of losing his Purpose, and a huge part of that for him is needing something to be loyal to.... despite the fact that his extreme loyalty also ended up being his undoing :) I'd really love to dig into this theme with him further here — the concept of being a guard dog / pet dog / even an old dog that's outlived its use, etc...
others — fellow Olden People that he can vibe with, those from modern times to teach him things, fellow military / law enforcement types, canon cr drama things (he has a good deal of canonmates here in game now, and I'm wide open to any drama / talks / etc. that could go along with that....!)
— Like Kostya, a lot of Ned's Deal lately has been dealing with September's aftermath, when he was fatally stabbed by a Forest Talker and healed by Kate Marsh. Since then, he's mostly spent time resting up and keeping an eye on Kate, though he has occasionally left the house to do things like attend A Harrowing Terror Meeting led by Crozier, as well as the Last Sunset of the Year Party.
— A lot of canon truths have come out into the light now, and Ned's kind of left unsure how to... contend with all of it, so he's been in a pretty funky place, but I think more open now to maybe talking about some of that? This will be kind of situational, and what he shares would depend on who he's talking to and when, but there's a lot of potential there. He also now keeps the pocketwatch chain that this place gifted him on-person at all times. :) iykyk :)
— Also like Kostya, I'd really love to do some chill things and dive deeper into cr / play catch-up there. I'm sorry that I don't have more specific Thoughts here, I've been in my own kind of funky place with Ned lately and am still trying to find ways to get him involved again, so I'm taking things pretty slowly with him atm! I also apologise for falling completely off the earth with him for like a month straight. I ended up clean-slating my threads, but if there's something that anyone especially wants to pick back up, just lmk! I'm just trying to find some Movement for him again



Firearms/Weaponry - Trained specifically as a gunnery lieutenant, he has both practical and theoretical knowledge of weapons from his time, which sort of carries over to the more modern guns here. He's an excellent shot, and very confident with guns in general. Also canons, though there aren't any of those aroundyet?
Rocketry - As a part of the above but warranting its own section, he's particularly talented at using rockets, especially congreves.
Swimming - He's a very strong swimmer, even in fast-moving or cold waters.
Languages - It doesn't do him much good here, but he speaks several languages, including English, French, Portuguese, and Arabic.



I apologise for falling off with both that one and the fire-powers-reveal, since I realise that one is probably important for knowing where they stand with each other too, and I'm absolutely down to continue those both if it's not too late! I love writing with Gibson so much and his threads with Ned are always so so good... I'm the worst kind of sorry but I'm going to try very hard to get back into the swing of things with him!!
I'm totally happy to assume some check-ins happened! And I would also love to thread something with the Doctor again, this cr is so great already and I'm really excited for all the potential with them!
