Quarter - OOC
Summaries and content warnings for each prompt in the event are provided below. Please pose questions to the designated mod comment, and plot away!
➥ Quarter Dollar: 25 September
➥ Fiscal Quarter: 25 September
➥ Quarter Pounder: 25-30 September
➥ Quartermaster: 26-30 September
General Notes
1. Based on our poll, the new schedule for TDMs and events is below. There will be no changes to the Activity Check schedule. October has been updated to reflect changes, as have our game pages. Please let us know if you find anywhere that we have missed updating!
3. We wanted to make sure everyone is aware of the answer to a question that was asked on the FAQ. We have updated the Arrivals page to reflect that:
"Characters are provided with a basic State ID when they are being processed for arrival, whether they are staying with ADI or not. It's not the sort of thing that would let you drive, but is a valid ID for purchasing alcohol and the like. Ages/information will reflect what is realistic based on a character's appearance, rather than what may be true. Even those with clearly-foreign accents will be issued American state ID's. Congrats you're somehow American citizens!"
To be clear, it's not enough documentation to hold a regular job in the community and will not hold up under close scrutiny, but it's something. We would ask that players not use these IDs to have their characters acquire full-time employment out in the wider community, in deference to the fact that we are OOCly trying to avoid characters being pulled completely away from the metaplot. This is connected to the suitability of the character for the game. They should remain engaged with ADI and what's going on with them by choice.
4. We were delighted and blown away by the level of engagement for the "Circus, Circus" event. The mods want to continue to provide the same level of engagement for players during future events without stressing too much about our PC Activity Check. With that in mind, we've decided that a mod's AC may be supplemented by NPC threads if they are running one during an event. The requirements for the threads (e.g., length and time stamps) will be the same, they can just be between the NPC and another PC instead of the mod's PC and another PC. This supplement may be used for one proof, but not both.
➥ Quarter Dollar
(cw: None!)
It’s time for ADI’s quarterly meeting! Before the actual meeting begins, all staff are asked to gather in the gym. Why? Well, ADI has a lot of different departments and they want you, yes you, to come work for them. Each department has set up a booth with information, activities, and even snacks! Most booths have some sort of contest to win prizes, ranging from creative attempts to represent Avatars with food to obstacle courses. Except Staff Development, Staff Development is just a little bit pathetic. Players are welcome to have their own characters manning booths for some of this if they have already selected a department for their characters.
➥ Fiscal Quarter
(cw: references to character deaths/disappearances, reference to animal attacks, mention of insects/centipedes)
After the excitement of ADI’s job fair comes the main event: the Quarterly Meeting, starting with the head of ADI, Nia Lehrer. She has information about what ADI has been doing for the last four months, addressing topics such as ADI’s recent accomplishments - including the rebuffing and relocation of the kelpies - as well as the current threats and investigations that ADI has on its radar. However, she also has something to say to newer arrivals about the use of supernatural abilities, and that something is most certainly a warning.
If characters would like to speak with her after the presentation ends, they will have their chance, since she will be taking short appointments with everyone who wants to have a bit of her attention. The meetings can be done one-on-one or in pairs.
➥ Quarter Pounder
(cw: animal attack, consumption of human flesh, violence, gore, body horror, potential for severe injury, including puncture wounds and broken bones, potential for choking, potential for animal death)
One of the investigations Nia mentions is a deeper investigation of Dogtown, specifically into the much more violent happenings of late within its borders. Anyone who volunteers to patrol there will come to realize just how violent and bloody the place has recently become. There are traps of many different kinds everywhere and if you aren’t careful, you might just fall prey to one. You’d better hope that someone else has also made the choice to patrol, or you could be caught for a long while.
Characters who manage to evade or get free of the traps may make it to a particular clearing. There they will find a few particularly monstrous boars guarding a hole filled with...well. There’s a reason why there seems to be so much blood in Dogtown right now. The boars will try to attack any character who sets foot into the clearing with the intent of killing them and adding their parts to their collection.
➥ Quartermaster
(cw: flooding; damage to homes and possessions; drug paraphernalia; potential for memory loss or reference thereto)
Disaster strikes in the form of flood damage at Bonnie's Flophouse following a particularly bad storm. Player characters' rooms sustain minor damage from leaky windows, while the basement room Bonnie shares with the Visionary is flooded out. Bonnie and the Visionary are forced to camp out on the common room couches, and while Bonnie is busy fixing the damage, her weird, perpetually blindfolded roommate is left hanging out in the common room where he makes a habit of ominously telling visitors not to share stories about their past. As a note, the Visionary is nonbinary and uses he/she/they pronouns interchangeably. Mod narration/responses will reflect this.

Caduceus Clay | Critical Role
→ Housing: Bonnie's! Roommate is Shiroe
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Splits his time between counseling and medical
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - Oh my god Caduceus will absolutely be manning a booth. He will either be with the counseling center or the medical center, or maybe he'll float between them. He's here to answer your questions. He will have tea.
→ Fiscal Quarter - The warnings about using power will be taken in stride. His connection to his entity/patron is something he isn't willing to cut off. He thinks he can moderate this, he can figure it out. But he'll also probably have some questions after the presentation.
→ Quarter Pounder - Whatever is happening in Dogtown has him concerned. It's not the violence necessarily, nature is violent, but this... is excessive. And the traps are disconcerting. I'd love to thread out him finding someone who has been caught in one, or vice versa. He's got a high passive perception but that doesn't mean he won't miss something and end up somewhere unfortunate.
(Help, it's again.)If he does get involved in a fight, he's going to yank on some magic and we'll see how that goes. He's been mildly feeding his patron, but he also knows ADI isn't... keen on that. But I'm also looking for every excuse for him to be kinda Creepy.→ Quartermaster - Caduceus lives at Bonnie's so I'm eager to interact with housemates! He'll do what he can to help repair damage or dry things out or just commiserate. Definitely going to have him interact with the Visionary a little, so if you want him in the room if/when the Visionary warns him/your character not to talk about their past, I'm definitely open to playing with that.

→ Housing: Bonnie's
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Investigations and Security (normally during nights)
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - I'm thinking of having Harry man the Investigations booth with a terrible pitch on why to be a detective! And maybe try to cook up some activities related to cracking cases for people to interact with. If anyone else is in Investigations maybe we can have a team-up? Otherwise Harry will just be a menace, as usual.
→ Fiscal Quarter - Not much here, will tag around. If anyone wants to partner for NPC discussion I'm good for it.
→ Quarter Pounder - Harry would definitely be on the scene to patrol and get caught in traps, but not make it as far as the boars before having to duck out. I may just have him get injured depending on the options.
→ Quartermaster - Harry lives in Bonnie's so he will try to help fix the damages around the building from the war damage. I'd like to use this time to bond with people in the Flophouse that he hasn't really met/interacted in person with!
And I'm not sure if he would have a thread with Visionary so much as agree on their stance about not sharing stories of the past. The past is scary and bad.

→ Housing: Bonnies
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Investigations
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - No plans, but he WILL be checking it out. Job fairs are wild. Job fairs within job fairs? Incredible.
→ Fiscal Quarter - I'm not too sure if Kugrash will fully understand the means beyond having to terrify other people for the greater good, which tbh he's a little used to. Whoops?
→ Quarter Pounder - This is the one Kugrash is most interested in. Either trapped, traps, or trying to use his powers, Dogtown is something that's on Kugrash's radar. If anyone needs help navigating the place, fighting or running from boars, or just plain exploring, let me know!
→ Quartermaster - While Kugrash is technically at Bonnies, his possessions are pretty much none. He'll help repair if he can or fish out the small stuff for folks that can't get at it anymore, though. He's no stranger to floods and shitty houses, he used to live in the New York Subway tunnels.

→ Housing: ADI - A3 ( roomates: Keith & Jacob Stone )
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: None yet, officially.
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - Shiro will be browsing the booths. He’s been doing a lot of field investigative work ( collecting those $100, y’know ) and he still plans to get out on the field, but I’m thinking he might lean toward Public Relations or Security for the day-to-day work at ADI. Also, obstacle courses? Shiro wants to do obstacle courses -- which departments have obstacle courses, he'll do all of them.
→ Fiscal Quarter - Shiro will be at the meeting but I don’t have any plans for this beyond that. Might tag in to talk to Nia Lehrer.
→ Quarter Pounder - Ah. Shiro’s favorite place: Dogtown. He’s had so many wonderful experiences there already, why not traumatize him yet again? He’ll be patrolling, so if you want him to team-up with your character and/or save them from a trap or boar, lemme know!
→ Quartermaster - Shiro doesn’t live at Bonnie’s Flophouse and he’s never been there either… but Visionary sounds creepy and interesting. So I might have him swing by to help do repairs ??? just so he can chat it up with Visionary LOL. He can help people dry out their waterlogged furniture/clothes/whatever else though! Put him to work.
( sneaks in headline news #1 stuff )
→ It's the Ghost Wonderful Time of the Year! - Anyone want to go to a haunted house with Shiro and not be scared? Jump scare actors, fake blood, and strobe lights have nothing on these ADI agents okay.
→ Packer's Cut Sizzles onto the Scene - So ig there are no spooks to glean from this, but I’m assuming it’ll come up again later. So anyone want to lay the groundwork of future horror by going for a nice dinner with Shiro?

Keith | Voltron
→ Housing: ADI A3!
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Research
→ Permissions: HERE
For this event, I probably won't be posting a top level for Keith since I have a catch all for gen stuff + headline new stuff outside of the event. Keith is going to be very interested in tracking down the sea serpent and would love some fellow cryptid curious folks to come along. Also down for some Halloween haunted house shenanigans with creepy foods, haha. for event stuff, I am happy to tag other people's top levels and write closed starters if threads if any of this stuff sounds appealing!
→ Quarter Dollar
Keith will be at the fair repping the research team with subterranean enthusiasm. Watch him be forced into doing awkward icebreakers as part of a "get to know our team" initiative with things like two truths and a lie.
→ Fiscal Quarter
He'll be present at the meeting and will definitely be asking the big boss some questions. Very open to asking questions in a tag team with a partner!
→ Quarter Pounder
This isn't a prompt I want to do more than once, but I'd be cool with playing out some aftermath threads with anyone else who might be in the infirmary as a result of their dogtown escapades!
→ Quartermaster
Open to tossing Keith at any top levels where ppl would like help with cleaning and repairs. He's definitely going to be curious about what the Visionary has to say as well and I'm again open to tagging with someone else for this!
jack √ tales from the gas station
→ Housing: Bonnie's, floor 1 room 2
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: None! Please recruit him, he needs something to do with his extremely ample time. He spent a solid 75% of his life at work, and now he doesn't know what to do with himself.
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar -
Ya boi needs a job. If your character works in any particularly neat departments and might feasibly try to recruit him, that would be rad! His skill-set involves customer service, cleaning, raccoon wrangling, staring horrors in the face without blinking, hitting things with baseball bats, being insane, surviving monsters, and reading. He will be extremely interested in any department that could teach him how to prevent or fight an oncoming apocalypse, because... yeah, oof, he's got one looming, and he's stuck smack in the middle of a god (for all intents and purposes) war.
→ Fiscal Quarter -
Jack doesn't actually realize he has supernatural abilities, and it would blow his ever-loving mind. He hasn't put together the fact that his hallucinations sometimes making themselves reality is like a Gift he could maybe work on developing, and doesn't realize the thing he carries around in the box that can Tell things about people is a product of his own mind, basically. No idea how to make him realize it, but that's something imma work toward! And maybe develop long term. Not expecting much here unless your character is particularly supernaturally inclined and could Sense this kind of thing somehow, and maybe help that realization along!
→ Quarter Pounder -
He won't go on his own, but he's extremely easy to peer pressure. If your character would want to drag him along, all they'd have to do is say something about how it's the Right thing to do and people are getting hurt, and he'll feel enough guilt that he'll toddle along to be... helpful? Helpful-ish? He can smack things with a bat, and his secret thing in the secret box can probably tell Stuff about what's in close proximity.
→ Quartermaster -
CANNOT WAIT for this one actually. Jack's immune to memory loss from external sources, but a side effect of his sleep condition is memory loss lmao, so he be erasing them himself just fine. But it would be pretty cool if there's an opportunity for him to be like, blink blink, oh naw dawg. Otherwise, basically anything that could be interpreted as a hallucination or make him question his sanity could make for neat material. I'm pretty good at getting weird in tags and throwing out hooks for crazy psychological shit, so if that's your jam, we can probably make something neat happen here when we find out what the deets are.
tl;dr I'm excited to do threads with plot-y hooks, I vibe those way better than slice of life, let's do this bois.

→ Housing: Bonnie's
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Investigations, sort of???
→ Permissions: HERE
My goal is to keep things light this time around, since Jeff's been on a Spiral bender ever since the circus + mirrors. Unsure if I'll do any open top levels for this, but I'm totally open to planning things!
→ Quarter Dollar - I want to throw Jeff all around the job fair, even though he's not interested in getting a """REAL JOB""" and (if we're being totally open and honest) doesn't feel like he's actually qualified for anything. It could be fun to have someone help him realize that he has more options in life than ASPIRING ROCK STAR or SENTIENT FEAR GENERATOR.
...not that he's been causing fear in people.
→ Fiscal Quarter - N/A, handwaved unless Jeff talks to an NPC after. He will probably tune out during the meeting and totally brush off any warnings about using powers, which his CR is free to pick up on.
→ Quarter Pounder - N/A he's a weenie
→ Quartermaster - Jeff will try to help with repairs! He's not great at DIY home repair, but he likes Bonnie and the flophouse and wants to be helpful wherever he can. Plus, the sooner things are fixed up, the sooner he can stop worrying about some horrible catastrophe befalling his PRECIOUS GUITARS. So if someone wants to team up for some disastrous attempts at repairs (OR HELP HIM NOT SUCK AT IT I GUESS), I'm game.
(Oh and he might try to befriend the Visionary, because that's what he does when faced with spooky NPCs)

Thackery Binx | Hocus Pocus
→ Housing: ADI apartment A4
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Facilities (pest control; occasionally helps run cables through the drop ceilings)
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - Thackery will hang out at the Facilities table to 1.) look cute and 2.) respond to questions about the work with a resounding "eh, it's not so bad." He'll probably be asked to stop helping partway through the event.
→ Fiscal Quarter - Thackery will not be speaking with Nia. He is available to play wet blanket, agreeing with the warning about supernatural abilities; this is one of the things he's most likely to argue with people about.
→ Quarter Pounder - I'd like to do only one thread regarding this prompt, if that. As he isn't going to be any use in a fight or getting people out of traps, he would get caught in a trap and injured by it, which will cause an immediate crisis as he finally realizes he's no longer immortal.
→ Quartermaster - n/a; Binx doesn't live at Bonnie's and isn't much use at home repairs.

→ Housing: C2 with Yelena and Kate
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Security, field missions
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - He feels no real need to be here, because there's no way he's changing departments (unless somebody orders him do, I guess). Security is basically all he's comfortable with. He might lurk around the edges and look skeptical. He might ditch the goggles part of his mask.
→ Fiscal Quarter - He's pretty unused to being asked to go to meetings. He's usually on the level of mobile furniture mixed with potential explosive, with HYDRA, so this is novel and confusing. He'll sit in the back. Half-mask on, unless anyone gets on his case about it. Only interested in talking to the leader gal if someone drags him along for backup.
→ Quarter Pounder - Now this he's enthusiastic about. This is basically what he's best at: get past an enemy guard and strike. I fully expect he'll get hurt doing this, he's never fought a boar before let alone a bunch of them, but he'll have his rifle and plenty of handguns, and if he's got people to work with and protect they can make a group effort of it.
→ Quartermaster - He lives at the ADI housing so someone will have to tell him about this for him to care /datashrug Though I guess he could help people move furniture if they need it!

→ Housing: ADI, C-4
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Medical facilities
→ Permissions: Info + Permissions
→ Quarter Dollar - Emily might be talked into working the medical booth for a little while - she'll have a good attitude and a welcoming approach, but she'll be glad to walk around and take in the information on different departments to know what one can do in them! I'll be glad to have her open her mind a little more and consider what else she might be able to do for ADI, and she'll also be very ready to meet other staff, to see what she can glean about her new coworkers...or at least figure out who's willing to tackle a contest or two together.
→ Fiscal Quarter - Absolutely Emily will be interested in going to the meeting, though whether or not she wants to approach Nia will depend greatly on the content of the presentation itself. It'll be nice to be up to speed, anyway, and perhaps it might be good to simply thank her for the job offer at the least.
→ Quarter Pounder - While Emily won't be going out to investigate yet on her own accord, she will be putting in hours at the infirmary to aid and heal any of those who come back from the mission in need of help. Everything from minor trap injuries to missing pieces, she can help with.
I'm very interested in her discovering the curse on her healing syringe at some point during the event, if anyone's up for it - it can repair even extreme damage, but it will force out a deep secret one'd rather keep to themselves. Once she knows, she'll be able to caution those who'd prefer speedy care about the potential price...but still be willing to heal those who don't mind a touch of confession with their shed blood.
→ Quartermaster - N/A, as she lives in ADI housing.

→ Housing: ADI Apartment A1
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Public Relations, not so much working in as learning from IT
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - Monika may spend some time helping out at the PR booth, though she's honestly not the best at advertisement. Her actual skill in PR comes in writing up statements and flawlessly delivering them, along with trying to prep for every possibility, rather than working entirely off the cuff. Still, she'll do her best! Even though she's already pretty settled, she might check out the other booths just to see what everyone's doing.
→ Fiscal Quarter - Might speak to Nia, though it depends on the specifics of the speech. Other than that, she'll sit in front and listen carefully.
→ Quarter Pounder - Monika won't go alone, but if someone wants to go with her, she'll venture into Dogtown. She's been practicing with a gun enough she could shoot a boar, at least, and she's also got a taser, but overall she's still at "athletic high school senior" level. If left to her own devices, she'll try and help out with first aid where she can and maybe try to work as mission control if anyone needs it.
→ Quartermaster - Monika would want to see if there's anything she can do to help fix up the flophouse, and she'll also definitely be talking to the Visionary, as she would want to know what they mean--Monika doesn't talk about her past very specifically to begin with, but she has a lot of reason to try and keep it vague, so if something's up with talking about the past, she would want to know.

→ Housing: B3
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Research (and sometimes Investigations
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - She'll probably half-heartedly run a booth for the research department, just for some extra cash. Come say hi if you want, or try to get her to put more enthusiasm into it.
→ Fiscal Quarter - Boy does she have some questions for Nia. If you'd like to tag team with her, feel free. She's going to be wary and careful of this woman but she's going to settle for a direct approach rather than a particularly tactful or diplomatic strategy.
→ Quarter Pounder - This one's the most interesting to me, but I think I'll probably only do this once or twice. She'd like to go investigate but she's only going to go with someone she trusts to have her back, which doesn't necessarily equate to people she knows like her.
I'm not going to have her be caught or particularly horrifically traumatized by the experience because she'll use magic before any of that happens but she can unleash some of her more powerful spells to help your character if you want. (Finger of Death, Disintegration, or even the most powerful tool on her toolbelt which is her ability to summon elemental minions.)
→ Quartermaster - She won't be there because she doesn't live her and she won't help out because she's a bitch and doesn't actually care, but she might stop by to chat with people about whether they believe it was an intentional attack. Other than that, I think I'll largely abstain from this prompt.

Andrew Jaeger
→ Housing: ADI Housing A2
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Investigations, with a possible secondary in either Security or Research (I'm still deciding)
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - Jaeger is firmly entrenched in Investigations, but also looking at a secondary specialty in either Research or Security. So he'll be wandering around looking at materials, talking to people, and hopefully making his mind up soon. He's also happy to talk to anyone looking at Investigations, to help them make an educated decision and get them started on the right track! He's somewhat interested in the prizes, on a case-by-case basis, and might come up with something creative for the food? (cw: They're watching you)
→ Fiscal Quarter - Jaeger would definitely like to have a word with the Powers That Be about the resolution(?) of the entire Circus debacle, and what ADI has done on their end to address the situation.
Jaeger will likely also be getting a Warning about using his powers, though he's adamant that the incident with Divining the train car was a force of old habit and not something that will be repeated. He knows he made a boo-boo, though, and he'll at least sort of be sorry?
→ Quarter Pounder - I am totally game for Jaeger to stumble into a trap himself, as he's not entirely forest-savvy, or have him come to the rescue of someone else who's been snared or injured. He won't be able to heal magically, because there's no terror in that, but he does have some first aid skill and a kit so he can probably keep you from dying?
I'm also open to facing the boars, because that could get horribly messy and that sounds like a good time. Scaring boars is cool, right? We can do that?
→ Quartermaster - I don't know if Jaeger is invited or not, but he may come help with the flophouse repairs just to be a good guy. And, to have a look at the place out of curiosity since so many people are choosing to live there.
Jaeger is also considering consulting the Visionary to find out if he survives his encounter with the Conservators that nearly killed him just before he was Taken to Gloucester. That will be a pretty heavy decision for him to make, though he really does want to know if he survives or not...

→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: None!
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - Wanda will not be actively participating on this other than going over to provide moral support to her friends, but she'll ultimately not be moved to join any department.
→ Fiscal Quarter - Might talk to Nia? Or might otherwise just be like *rolls eyes* because she won't be told not to use her magic. 😔
→ Quarter Pounder - Shiroe was very kind to mention information about witchcraft in Dogtown, so Wanda's very interested in checking it out! On a witchy covert mission, anyone? There will likely be use of magic/powers in trying to dealing with the boars.
→ Quartermaster - Cleaning up at Bonnie's it is! It'll be a bonding episode. Might talk to the Visionary, but it won't be a priority to her.

→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: Investigations
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - Yelena might be internally side-eyeing all this foolishness, because corporate team building is completely alien to her, but she'll show up and participate in some of the activities in order to get to know some of her compatriots a little better. And also because she's looking for a secondary department to get involved with for times when there's no field work to be done/she's laid up with an injury.
→ Fiscal Quarter - Yelena will be at the meeting, and definitely has a few questions to ask. Open to teaming up if anyone wants.
→ Quarter Pounder - Yelena will definitely be patrolling in Dogtown. She's down for springing people from traps if they get caught, and teaming up to deal with some monster boars. She, uh, may wind up advocating for getting some accelerants and burning the hell out of the horrifying flesh pit, if they can distract and/or kill enough of the boars to manage that.
→ Quartermaster - Yelena lives in ADI housing, but she's friendly with a couple of people staying at Bonnie's, so she might turn up to help with repairs and/or bring supplies. And maybe to get a read on some of the otherworlders she doesn't cross paths with on the regular, no big deal. While she'll be intrigued by the Visionary's ability, she's ultimately not going to make a trade - ICly because she doesn't trust that precognition provided by entities that feed on fear skew towards accuracy over being unsettling, OOCly because there's currently no canon to update her to.

Silently hoping tardiness is tolerated...
→ Housing: ADI
→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: None yet! Looking into Research, though.
→ Permissions: HERE
→ Quarter Dollar - Steven will be looking around and
moochingsampling the offerings of the departments. However, he has his eyes set on helping Research. Hopefully his skill with tongues will help him out there.→ Fiscal Quarter - Well, since the IC post is out now (sorry) he'll look to sign up for the patrols, which leads us to...
→ Quarter Pounder - He'll be poking around, and likely sprain an ankle or wrist, but won't risk his life. Though he might take pictures. He has a camera phone, after all.
→ Quartermaster - Not likely to do much here, unless someone needs help actively.

→ What ADI Department(s) Does the Character Work In?: She's still deciding...
→ Permissions: HERE - Please please fill out her opt-out form if meta or mention of survival cannibalism bothers you.
→ Quarter Dollar - Recruit her? She doesn't have an particular skills related to any of the divisions, and facilities seems like such a step down after being an architect at home. She's kind of leaning to investigations and maybe research, but I'd love to thread out some recruiting and conversations about the various departments. Especially medical. She can heal, it's just real complicated and nasty...
→ Fiscal Quarter - Warnings about using her powers might scare her a little, and she'll be feeling a bit out of sorts about it. After having failed to save a bunch of loved ones because she never bothered to train to use her magic, she's a little touchy about going back to not using them. Might bring up some interesting topics that could lead to discussion of her ~tragic backstory~.
→ Quarter Pounder - This is where things could get ugly for her, and I'm really interested in playing with this prompt. Consumption of human flesh is a nerve-wracking CW (ICly) depending on whether it's humans or animals doing the consuming. If it's the former, it'll definitely bring up issues because she has a history of survival cannibalism. Either way, it'll be something she's drawn to and uncomfortable about at the same time. It would also be an opportunity for her to get creepy with people by invoking fear telling stories about her past.
Alternately, I'd be interested in her being caught in and/or rescued from a trap, or doing the rescuing. She'd be absolutely tickled to be able to save someone, and very grateful to anyone who rescued her. She might owe them one, even.
→ Quartermaster - She doesn't live at Bonnie's, but if you'd like someone to help clean up your stuff, we should make some CR in advance!
