➥ Dani

Contact: comatoseroses Can We Add You: Y Introduction: idk man i am just out here doin my best. i love star wars, star trek, stranger things, i'm super on rise of the tmnt rn, lots of podcasts! yes including mcelroy products. my plurk is mostly rp links and a commentary plurk per week for rl and rp stuff 👌 Availability: I'm EST but third shift! my tagging speed and schedule is a nefarious and impossible to define creature. sometimes i hit tags 1-2 times a day, sometimes stuff languishes, idk. i'm always happy to prioritize as needed/for time sensitive stuff! i'm probably not gonna be good for much the rest of the month, between illness and dental appts tbh. Extra:

➥ Steve Harrington

Canon: Stranger Things Age: 19/20 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: N Entity Affiliation(s): likely to lean towards uhh The Spiral, The Lonely, The Hunt, The Dark. he doesn't have any like official tie, he's just out here bein a dude. Permissions: HERE (when in doubt abt anything feel free to ask!) Information: A long-suffering grumpy former high school jock (from the 80s) with a habit of picking up strays! He'll follow you into hell with mild complaining, and make sure that he's the first one in, last one out, and bodily between you and danger the whole way (probably using an improvised weapon). Pure of heart, dumb of ass, surprisingly emotionally intelligent! The self-preservation instincts of a small dog with big dog energy. He's come to a world grappling with unknowable extradimensional terrors and he's like "this might as well be happening" bc that's basically what they were dealing with at home anyway. Plotting: Honestly up for whatever! Bicker buddies, found family, friendships, CR that annoys each other, nerds to collect, etc etc. i don't have particular plots or anything in mind, i'm down to just throw characters at each other to see what happens. Visuals:

[thedoctorsmate]

Welcome back! I have here, a woman who would love a bicker buddy. Goofy people shouting angrily at people you care about BECAUSE you care? Good stuff!

[haircaring]

omg absolutely, i feel like they could have SUCH a fun dynamic!

voted most likely to shout at found family and at their own kidnappers, iconic of them

[thedoctorsmate]

Are there any of the TDM prompts from this month that might appeal to you? Happy to set up a thread with them meeting up addressing any of those. Or, potentially, just around town stuff, if Steve needs help getting oriented.

[haircaring]

i feel like the uhhh mired way prompt looked really neat! they could have a lil hang and help each other not get pulled down into the gross marsh stuff 👌

it'll probably take me a while to get to it though full disclosure LOL covid truly does not play games

[thedoctorsmate]

At last! A log and a starter for Steve, if it looks good?

[haircaring]

rolls in 80 years later this looks totally good!! i think i am officially Alive Again so i got this lined up to hit tonight or tomorrow if you're still up for threading it 👀👌

[thedoctorsmate]

Come at me, mate! Still ready for them to meet. :3

[bardsofprey]

now who is this handsome fella

[haircaring]

i'd say godspeed to eddie grappling with a cute loser tour de force but they're both just cute losers

[bardsofprey]

their whole BRAND

[conning]

hey there roomie

hope he is ready for two very in love semi-functional men living with him, one of whom screams a lot at night

[haircaring]

hey man he won't call out nightmares if no one calls out his nightmares, solidarity 2022 👌😔 2am group kitchen hang like can i offer u a bowl of cereal in this trying time

honestly having roommates is gonna be the wildest thing for him out of this whole arrangement, steve's like... a premium grade latchkey kid™️ LMAO

[whisperedone]

Welcome back! I'm 99% canonblind, but definitely here for some friendships or that one friend who keeps the others from dying bonding or whatever comes about! Garner's a D&D OC, so should be fun!

[haircaring]

thanks!! and i think it sounds fun too! i always enjoyed what i happened to read of garner, it'll be cool to see how they get on!

[worthallthis]

Hello hello! I know Steve, though I haven't seen the last season yet XD I'll get around to it eventually...

Just letting you know, I'm sorry Steve, but Winter is not letting a teenager take the brunt of the danger when he has a bulletproof metal arm. He is also secretly a nerd but most people never know since he's so big and scary-looking.

[haircaring]

season 4 is a whole lotta season to get in tbh i don't blame you. i haven't made time to really rewatch it after the first time around lol

YKW that will probably save steve from filling out his concussion punch card in the long run so good on winter for being a real pro. im also sorry hes gonna have to argue through steve being like "well consider i have this hat rack and i'm willing to fight god" in the process tho 😔 come be a nerd around him, carry the brain cell

[worthallthis]

Careful Steve, gonna remind Winter of another Steve and then you'll be the one adopted >.>

[lesbeau]

really, really need these two to meet because Beau is 1000% Robin But So Much Worse

but hey at least steve will have a lesbian wingman

[haircaring]

this has my fullest one thousand percent support

HE'S UNTETHERED WITHOUT A LESBIAN WINGMAN TO CLOWN TO CLOWN COMMUNICATE WITH

[lesbeau]

DON'T WORRY BUDDY SHE'S GOT YOU SHE EVEN KNOWS HOW TO BREAK INTO PLACES

[bardsofprey]

➥ CHARLIE

Contact: sekritsauce Can We Add You: Yes! Introduction: hi yes I love horror and video games and cute fluffy pink things. Availability: I'm in Australia/GMT+10, so I'll be around at weird times. I'm definitely an erratic tagger and a big fan of backtags, so hit me up if you want something prioritised!

➥ EDDIE MUNSON

Canon: Stranger Things Age: 20 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: N Entity Affiliation(s): I don't have anything locked in, but possibilities are The Hunt, The Lonely, The End, or The Web. Permissions: HERE Information: Take a huge nerd, a metalhead, a theatre kid, and roll them up into an annoying bouncy ball. It's Eddie!! Plotting: Dude has a history of adopting weirdos, will definitely be on the lookout for a new DND party, and I'm sucker for any found family stuff. Honestly anything goes, I don't have any solid plans! Visuals:

[graveyounglady]

That hair is amazing! Welcome to the game! I'm Terri, playing a ball of sunshine OC from medieval-ish fantasy times, Mercy Graves, and the best companion in Doctor Who, Donna Noble. I'd love to get some CR with both the Stranger boys. Please introduce Mercy to the concept of DnD. She had a friend who was into a version of that and will be overjoyed (and wistfully sad, but whatcha gonna do?)

[bardsofprey]

god isn't it hypnotising

Hi Terri!! Thank you sm 🥰 I would love love love for Eddie to meet them both!!! Time to make a party member out of Mercy 👀

[canofmanji]

*waves from Adelaide*

Hello fellow odd time zone occupant! I'm Zig-zag (or ZZ) and I play Manji here. A grumpy 1 eye, 1 arm samurai from the 1700s. I think Eddie is going to confuse the hell out of him, but so long as his gruff exterior doesn't completely turn Eddie off then I think Manji will secretly like him a lot. He's a sucker for kids in over their heads with traumatic events.

[bardsofprey]

Hi ZZ!! <3 I mean Eddie fits that bill to a t and I would really love for him to have some folks older than him to look up to or at least annoy the shit out of... plus he's gonna think the samurai thing is so cool.

[canofmanji]

I can't wait for them to meet!

[edalyn]

Eddie!

I have a witch (and former weird theatre kid) with her OWN history of adopting weirdos who would 100% call him a giant nerd but also is in need of some new found family

[bardsofprey]

yes yes yes count me 100% in!!! i'm canon blind but some googling shows me they could jam out together!

[edalyn]

Sounds good!! And no worries about being canon blind, I'll admit I only absorbed about half this season of stranger things BUT I really liked Eddie XD

[conning]

hello and welcome!! I'm so far behind in stranger things I might as well be canonblind but I already love him based on that gif alone

I love found family things and Neal is also prone to adopting people so this is very likely a thing that could/will happen ijs

[bardsofprey]

omg bless, I'm so glad! and thank you!!

please, I love how with this post alone he's collecting a bunch of parents, dude could honestly use them 💀

[whisperedone]

Hello hello! I'm Ly and welcome!
Idk if Garner would be particularly good at DND....but he is a D&D OC and a bit of a weirdo, so could for sure throw them together to see what happens!

[bardsofprey]

Hi Ly!! Hell yeah, let's do it!

[worthallthis]

Hi, welcome! I'm Gail and I play a very different sort of weirdo :D A couple of them. Bucky Barnes from his just-out-of-HYDRA canonpoint, going by Winter because names are hard, okay... and Frederick Cotgrave who is a skeletal construct held together by twine, wire, and deer hide. Uh. Sorry. He's kinda spooky, but he's very gentle, I promise. Let me know if using his skull icons bothers you and I will refrain!

I've seen Stranger Things but Eddie only just came in last season, right? I haven't seen that yet, so I am only familiar from gifs and seeing him around DW XD Don't worry about spoilers, though, they don't bother me at all.

[bardsofprey]

Hi Gail!! Bucky is such a Dude, I love him. And Fred I may know nothing about, but I'm keen to!!

And yeah, that's right! He's definitely been everywhere since that last season came out, haha! But awesome, good to know <3

[lesbeau]

so #1 i deffo want eddie to attempt to get martin into a proper d&d game because I already know the character he'd play and he'd be shit at it but #2. what are the chances eddie puts together that beau is just straight up from a d&d canon. because I would laugh my ass off

[bardsofprey]

I THOT I REPLIED TO THIS BUT I DIDNT FHJWEFHIUW but yes yes yes i'm SO in you know I am

[lesbeau]

HAHJKFLSD GOOD JOB

do u have an intro log up or anything. i want to Harass Him.
