Handwave Meme!
Here's a writing exercise! What do your characters get up to in between threads? Do they have a daily routine? Is it different week to week? Do they live with someone? Maybe they have coworkers! This is where you can write all sorts of fun little details!
Post a top-level for your character with the information below (all prompts are optional, of course!), tag around to see who you might run into in the future or maybe who you've already seen around, and even plot further handwavy things.
Feel free to answer as much or as little as you want, come up with your own prompts, and/or do whatever you'd like. Most of all, have fun!
Player:
Character:
Series:
Daily Routine: Do they have hobbies or anything that they do on the regular outside of their jobs? Anywhere they like to hang out or visit on their time off? This can be as detailed, logistic, or as simple as you'd like!
Living Arrangements: Have pictures or details of their house/apartment/home? What part of Pumpkin Hollow are they living in?
Roommates/Neighbors: Self explanatory! Or maybe work out fun shenanigans on who lives near your characters!
Job/Business: Obviously we have everyone's occupation listed but maybe share some details about the job itself!
Sending Stone: What does their Sending Stone look like? Got a description? A picture?
Thanks for setting this up, Knuxie!

Grace Holloway | BioShock 2
Character: Grace Holloway
Series: BioShock
Daily Routine: Grace wakes up well after dawn even in winter, seeing as she keeps nights as late as is safe. Her days are filled with errands, rehearsals, and — most of all — networking. She attends the musical performances of others as often as she can manage, and does her very best to secure invitations to enough teatimes, book clubs, and informal discussions to ensure the rest of her time is filled. Often she can be found at the Empty Pockets or the Oak and Iron, or occasionally near the docks, welcoming new arrivals. She rarely ventures out of town limits, though a juicy opportunity to build rapport might tempt her out.
On the weekends, she dedicates a good chunk of one day to a full spa treatment with Mettaton, to rejuvenate and decompress. They swap between apartments as suits their fancy. Other than that, she doesn’t seem to spend much time relaxing on her own… though she’s often seen with a cigarette.
Living Arrangements: Goldleaf Apartments, unit 1B
The apartment is shaped a little like an uppercase “L” with a short leg, the front door positioned at the base of the spine. The floor is made of worn but flush wooden boards, and beige-plastered walls are interspersed by a few decoratively-carved support timbers. On entering, you can see down both angles: on the right, the short stroke of the “L” base, an inbuilt bookcase and small step-stool taking up the sparse space not occupied by a door. Only a few books actually seem to be in residence, joined by a few cheaply-framed posters of local music acts: Juniper Sweetwater, Hildegard the Bard, The Deadwood Five, The Filthy Heathens, The Rattlebones, Cormac and the Banshees. The one of an act entitled “METTATON” looks a little fresher, with a nicer frame. On the immediate left, a coatrack and shoestand on a metal tray are jammed in the corner.
Ahead, the main room is the combined living and dining areas, featuring a low coffee table in the middle of the room on a faded green rug, opposite a couch and an armchair set against the right wall. Both couch and armchair are green, and have thin embroidered antimacassars draped over the heads and arms. In the back left corner, a table and four white chairs huddle like commuters trying to stay out of the way of traffic, next to the kitchen door in the back wall. There are more hooks for décor on the wall above the couch than there are hangings to use them: painted landscapes framed in mismatched wood.
Roommates/Neighbors: First floor neighbors include Alice Dyer, Anya Kovacs, and Melanie King. She doesn’t know any of them yet, but she has plans.
Job/Business: Entertainer — singing, specifically. She’s a horrible change-resistant genre snob at heart, but she’s at least trying to branch out for the sake of business.
Sending Stone: A palm-sized rectangular stone, clear as a white diamond save for veins of light yellow shot through, etched with geometric patterns
