handwave / cr workshop meme
Hi, Austice!! We've been running a while and haven't done one of these, iirc, so I figured it'd be a good time now that we're at the halfway mark!
hopefully this isn't too redundant considering we do plotting posts, but idk, i like the idea of explicitly setting out for handwaving and the mindset that puts me in.
I for one know there's characters I would love to have more scenes with where the wiles of time and circumstance haven't really played ball with getting threads done, so this would be super helpful for me, at least. Everyone's living in the same small town, after all!
Outline information they may have learned about each other, and dynamics we'd like to handwave our characters having built where threads might not have let us get it down yet! Get past sticking points in your CR, or identify standing emotional notes you're excited to sit down and thread -- idk just. vibes. go with the vibes.
here's a lil form to get started if you want a form. i like forms.

CHARACTER(S): Alice Yabusame
RESIDENCE: Rinne suggested Poppy Hall a while back and people seem to be doing fine living there, despite the blood fee... so Alice ended up moving there, too. He doesn't have a roommate.
SURFACE LEVEL INFO: He's a 6'1" buff and extremely stripey weird man (but if fashion comes up, he'll talk as though his taste is flawless), who outwardly looks like he'd be a delinquent. Hiiro freed him from his chains near the end of January. Most noticeably, this means that he's no longer walking around with a ball and chain attached to his ankle / wrapped around his leg and waist. I hope he's been able to start bartering things to get some normal clothes, too, instead of his jumpsuit.... He's fond of his Amagi Hiiro Brand shoes, though.
If he's startled / flustered and so on, it's possible to catch his speech patterns changing temporarily, which is represented in English by some kind of vaguely valley girl talk and "onee kotoba" phrasing in Japanese, so I'm assuming that this auto-translates somehow to any equivalent in Austice. It's fine to notice that he does this or question it, but it's also fine to dismiss it, since in canon, only one character in the spin-off game comments on it specifically, and it's not something that Alice does consciously.
DAY-TO-DAY: He'll help out with yard maintenance and so on around Poppy Hall, and greet familiar faces out and about by now, as well as sort of confirm from an acceptable distance that they're doing okay. Besides that, he still reads the noticeboard and has been checking out the livelier town to discover what exists here more recently, also because he needs food and it's depressing and not fun to cook for himself. He probably lurks around to catch any musical performances secretly (or less secretly if he knows the performers).
HOBBIES: He visits the library... it reminds him of reading in prison, but with a lot more freedom. He likes music and singing, but while he can write lyrics, he's nothing remarkable when it comes to the actual music or playing any instruments. His singing ability is decent enough / hearing it wouldn't be unpleasant, but he's not a professional singer. He's surprisingly good at crafts like making seashell necklaces.
PLANS & SCENARIOS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
— I would like him to make himself useful, and this could be in a practical form (like previously donating blood or carrying heavy stuff) or being a listening ear at some point if CR develops to the point that this would happen.
— I'm fine with handwaving any introductions if you want to say that encounters around town or any meetings have already taken place.
— If someone wants to live with him for some reason, I'm down. He places importance on tidiness and good hygiene...
— I like pushing Alice out of his comfort zone wrt spooky or otherwise distressing things, but also letting him get to form attachments and open up, as well as have the opportunity to be there for others.
— Maybe the ball and chain is useful for strength training now. It's apparently 20 kg / 44 lbs...
ANYTHING ELSE: Thank you to everyone who has been interacting with Alice so far! February happened too much irl for a bit, so I was late to various things, and I appreciate the backtagging 🙏
