WHERE ARE THEY GOING?

[voicerights]

...in the spirit of the previous post.



THE 'WHAT'S NEXT?' MEME

So, R3s! And maybe R2s/R1s/R0s, now that Certain Revelations Have Been Made. What are your character's current plans for the future, how do they impact everyone else? Are you looking at PSLing down the line? Maybe you don't have any and want to see how you can tag along with another's - well, there's where you can do it!

As a reminder, theaftershow exists for all your Curtains-related PSL needs!
(Unless you have somewhere you're already planning to do it, I'm not your [parental figure of choice])

CHARACTER: The character you played!
PLAYER: Who you are, + any contact info you want to share!
SUMMARY; A few quick notes on what plans - if any - your character has for the future. If they don't have any and/or will just be milling about in Denny's for a While, you can note that, too!
LOOKING FOR; Are you looking to get involved in anything? Maybe you want an excuse for some further growth?

CHARACTER: Eszmet, AKA The SQUIP!
PLAYER: Toni - feel free to add me on discord as artoni#1824, or artoni!
SUMMARY; Eszmet has taken it upon itself to not only try and help save the multiverse from crashing, but also save its fellow SQUIPs in the process! As such, somniatores will become a thing. TL;DR it's going to serve as a multiversal dispatcher for 'yo, we got a problem over in [x] dimension, can someone go fix it'. It will also, somehow, someway, have social media accounts in every dimension where social media exists, so you're welcome to add it on whatever platform you choose. While it's hard for a SQUIP to take breaks, it recognizes that as a human-hybrid such can be productive, and it will have periods where it can visit people in person!
...so, yes, Spongebob, it'll come over and hang out.
LOOKING FOR; safjasgfasgf if anyone really wants to play out fixing the multiverse, sure??? otherwise i'm fine with it just sending memes to people and/or fix-it-fic recs. It likes comfort fic, ok.

Also, PSA; Somniatores is not meant to overrule everything and make it all shiny-happy-perfect. It can't/won't guarantee Happy Endings For Everyone; it's ICly meant to just prevent to collapse of the multiverse. And because of how infinity is...infinite, there will always be More To Fix, and always be Things Breaking Down. That's just how it be! Tragedies have their place alongside comedies, and all that.

CHARACTER: Spongebob Squarepants
PLAYER: Kat, Blankblankity#7335 and blankblankity
SUMMARY; Spongebob is going to go back home for a few weeks to a month so he can reconnect with all his friends from home and make sure they know he's okay! (and maybe cry a little bit from the trauma. it's fine) After that he's going to go traveling around visiting all his other friends and helping Eszmet as much as he can with the anomolies!

He's also going to live at the Salieri-Discord estate for a good chunk of his time after the first month (maybe around 25-75 between the estate and Bikini Bottom). Look he loves his home but

What person would pass up living in a castle with their two dads?
LOOKING FOR; Let's all murder Mr. Krabs together

Otherwise I would like to expand on Spongebob's character growth and his whole anxiety deal! While he has... sorta started to recognize it's an issue I would like for him to try to grow out of it more.

But if you don't want anything that heavy for fucking Spongebob I am frankly 100% here for general adventures and hang outs! Since Spongebob's going to be helping with the ASS thing and visiting other worlds he'll have plenty of time for that!

[voicerights]

what the fuck does a therapist under the sea look like

[employeeoftheyear]

honestly they probably all suck this is bikini bottom we're talking about help

[voicerights]

maybe eszmet can find one in another dimension??

[employeeoftheyear]

It's gotta be one that's not just going to quit over having to treat spongebob on his anxiety ofc

CHARACTER: Orpheus!
PLAYER: QV ( please feel absolutely free to add me over at quodVide#2951 on Discord | questionableveracity )
SUMMARY; wall of text incoming I'm so sorry

ALRIGHT SO. After some discussion with Floral, immediate future plans are for Orpheus and Eurydice to go traveling between worlds together while Persephone puts the seasons back in order back where they came from. If you want to assume they stopped by, that's A-OK by me! They'll probably be spending a lot of time in Salieri's Vienna, but it'll take a while for their world to start to recover from the combined dustbowl/yearly blizzard-drought cycle apocalypse that was going on back there, so they're happy to take as many detours on their way back home as their friends will put up with.

After that, they'll be settling down in a little cottage on a cliff by the sea, though Salieri will be maintaining a place for them at his estate for when some of the gods responsible for the weather or the harvest or whatever (looking at you Poseidon and Amphitrite) inevitably start having Problems again and they want to get the fuck out of there. Eventually, probably in a few years once they get over that intense dustbowl/millennial solidarity fear of the failing environment and economy and can both be sure that it's safe, they'll have a daughter named Phoebe, who I'm sure you're all eager to spoil rotten. Drawings of her are probably incoming once my hand is okay again because I'm trash and will not stop crying about them getting a happy ending and a family.

Anyway, Orpheus will also start coming into his own as an oracle as he gets older. He does this in mythic canon after Eurydice dies, but I figured here it might be fun to play with the fact that he now exists in a highly meta-aware narrative-driven multiverse and his mother is the goddess of epic poetry/longform storytelling, and have his Sight manifest as being able to sense tone and narrative threads as they're forming. He's not a Narrator, but he can hear the background music, so to speak. People will come to him with offerings in exchange for advice as they do with oracles and he'll tell them weird cryptic bullshit and Eurydice will sigh and translate for him or offer more practical advice.

Also, someday his mom is actually going to come back for him, and when she does he'll call in the massive favor she owes him for wandering off on him for most of his life and ask her to take his immortality away. Can muses do that? Fuck if I know, maybe she calls in a favor from Zeus for him being a terrible dad in turn. Chain parental guilt. Either way, it means he and Eurydice get to grow old together, and when their time comes they go peacefully to the Underworld together, hand in hand.

(This may be a low key invitation for those capable to break into Hadestown and visit them in Elysium or Apshodel or wherever they wind up.)

LOOKING FOR; Man what am I not down for. I fully expect PSL stuff from any of you who are willing - Orpheus will happily help out with the Somniatores project with his budding future sight as well as just visit people whenever he can find an excuse to. Continuations of close CR are great!! Filling in CR that didn't get visited on much in game would also be great! I'm here for all of it.

[voicerights]

makes noises about phoebe OOCly because ICly eszmet'd have like zero interest, outside of 'this is important to someone who i find useful, therefore they are important by extension'

but yeah Eszmet could/would ABSOLUTELY tap Orpheus from time to time; it's definitely not a Narrator, itself; if anything, it's a Reader. So it'll definitely need assistance with the actual fixing of things, and/or a better understanding of where things are going!

...if Orpheus gets cryptic at it though it's just going to lineface until he explains it properly.

[themuseabandonsyou]

Look Eszmet that's what you get for technobabbling at him, he has no idea what the fuck you're talking about a full quarter of the time, he's allowed to do his prophecies in full rhyming verse at you too. On the bright side he does get very good at telling where a story is trying to go and figuring out ways to right its course as he goes on!! He's the type who probably needs a handler to make sure he doesn't get distracted in each new world and wander off, but when he's on task he's good at what he does.

Also rude, no, you will appreciate his beautiful baby. He'll make you. This is a promise. This is a threat.

CHARACTER: Angus McFife XIII
PLAYER: Nara#9651 and mutanthairything
SUMMARY; Angus is heading back to Fife to check up on what happened while he was missing, and often visits his friends at the penthouse in between keeping an eye out for weird universe stuff that he needs Eszmett to work on. While Elle is still studying, Angus hops by Harvard during break for a visit and meeting her parents. Eventually they'll learn about the multiverse and learn that their daughter is going to be queen of an alternate Scotland.

He's going back to hunting monsters and working on diplomatic ties with all these other kingdoms, so if you're royalty, he's going to hang out at court with you! Otherwise, he's always open to visitors that want to go to space, meet unicorns, or learn how to use a weapon. Angus is still worried that when he's not around his friends, something bad might happen to them - an accident or they made a bad decision, thus everyone gets frequent check-up calls from him.

After a year, his lizards are going to multiply so you better have space in your house for a bunch of pets.

After a few years, he and Elle get married in Malibu with all the Delta Nu girls, and then get married again in Fife with wizards. Everyone is invited to both ceremonies and the coronation that comes after. The two mainly live in the castle, but both travel for work: Angus around the world and Elle back in her home universe. Despite being a very lonely king while she's gone, Angus still has other people to distract himself with.

After they've setting into the rhythm of living together, Angus and Elle have twins: Fergus Mumble and Elisabeth Lumina Woods-McFife. Everyone is invited to see the royal babies. Later on, the two adopt a baby (one Elle's insistence when Angus wants more kids) and name him Benjamin Richard

LOOKING FOR; Mostly with the "saving the multiverse" stuff, Angus can't turn down an opportunity for adventure! Also therapy and learning to trust that his friends won't die or betray everyone again.

[whatyouwant]

CHARACTER: Elle Woods(-McFife)
PLAYER: Sabra Disco: sabrasaber#9649
SUMMARY: Elle goes back to Harvard to finish her law degree, now with the focus of helping abused and exploited youth (no idea where she got that interest from...) She gets an apartment with Vivian and eventually tells her everything about Gershwin. It takes some convincing, the Angus is able to help with that. Her parents love Angus to pieces and are so happy when they get engaged at her graduation ceremony. Eventually she tells them everything that happened and how she's kinda royalty now. After the shock wears off, they are very supportive and proud of her.

Along with working through school, she helps finish Connor's case against his parents to get his college fund, with the help of Eszmet. They win, obviously. Seriously, Connor's dad left WAY too much of a paper trail.

After graduation, Angus and Elle have their wedding in Malibu, then a bit later in Fife. Elle invites EVERYONE and she will be very sad if you don't come (unless you had, like, a good reason. You were all at Denny's and we know that was the real wedding anyways.) She primarily lives in Fife, working remotely with the help of some cross-universe wifi, but frequently travels to her home Earth to meet with clients and go to court. All her work is 100% probono because between marrying a prince and her family's money, she literally has no need for an income.

After getting established she and Angus have a set of beautiful twins Fergus Mumble and Elisabeth Lumina Woods-McFife. There is a huge party, the babies are adorable. Elle is very over the pregnancy thing after her first one is TWINS, but a few years down the line they adopt a baby and name him Benjamin Richard.

LOOKING FOR; Legal/ court drama shit, maybe a baby shower? She probably gets to know a lot of the r2's through Angus, so that could be fun! Elle's not going to be invovled too much with the 'save the multiverse' shenanigans, but she's around.

[whatyouwant]

Let's sue Mr. Krabs for everything he's worth (*^.^*)

[voicerights]

it was not programmed for childcare it has no idea what to do why is the child looking at it like that

[employeeoftheyear]

asdlkfj god spongebob will still feel guilty about this so he will need to be reminded about the importance of unionizing but god does mr krabs deserve this (and spongebob and squidward fucking deserve the money!!)

[employeeoftheyear]

first of all, spongebob would absolutely dote on phoebe! he's also like, canonically good w caring for children so he can and will babysit for them whenever they need one!

also once mr. krabs is sued for all his money, spongebob won't exactly want/need much of it so he'd honestly give most of his money to orpheus and eurydice to make sure they have a comfortable life! he really mean it when he said he never wants them to worry about food ever again

[wanderlusttitania]

CHARACTER: Empress Elisabeth of Austria
PLAYER: Ni/papirini#0423/papirini
SUMMARY; Sissi is going to be going home first to DEATH. It'll take a good amount of convincing, but she does eventually get Death to Let Her Help With Stuff With The Multiverse. His reticence to let her go again is because of what happened with R3, but she's pretty sure won't get kidnapped for a murdergame again, seriously, we both gotta do this Death, not just you. So she gets to work as a dispatcher for Esmet's overall project, and a helper in the Somniatores nursery, and she'll get to hop around the multiverse to visit people and dispatch people to fix what's been broken. Also because she's basically the grandma, she will spoil rotten any and all kids that come out of the situation. That's what's grandmas do after all.

On a more personal note, she's finally taking the initiative to try and help the bulk of her family move on into a better afterlife situation. Even her mother-in-law. It's kind of scary, but there are plenty of therapists willing to help in the afterlife at this point, so yay?
LOOKING FOR; ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WOOT.

[wanderlusttitania]

(yeah Sissi will totally come visit them in the afterlife, Hades and Death having a beer together or something while everyone catches up)

[wanderlusttitania]

YES LET'S

[mcfife]

Hello fellow royal! Angus is going to be nervous about being a king and a father so he's going to turn to Sissi for some good advice...one his misunderstanding of her religion is cleared up.

[employeeoftheyear]

whispers pirate adventures

[wanderlusttitania]

OK LOOK JESUS ISN'T A CANNIBAL ZOMBIE I- She will do her best to give him the advice he might need! Don't make the mistakes she made!!

YES and she will absolutely spoil those grandkids. Just. All the time.

[mcfife]

Angus is pretty sure there are some decent pirates out there that protect the planet! And they know all the best places to party under the sea.

Let's go get drunk and party hard, Spongebob! It's like a bachelor party only more of a "my wife isn't living with me yet" vacation.

[mcfife]

Hey, Sissi is married to Death, she probably hears a lot of things from him that she can pass on.

Please spoil them, Angus is going to miss them if he has to go somewhere dangerous and leave them behind. can't carry them in a baby sling everywhere

[tellthestory]

CHARACTER: The Balladeer
PLAYER: Lu (lluosogrwydd)
SUMMARY: B will be retreating back to the pocket dimensional house he shares with Hans, but he was already doing a lot of visiting with the r1 folks before so he's certainly just going to expand that to everyone from r3! He (and Hans as welcome) will drop in on folks and hang out for up to a couple weeks at a time, if that works out for everyone. People are also welcome to visit him! As he told Farrah, he made that entire little zone himself, so he can set up whatever people might want there.

Other than that, he's going to be deeply involved with Somniatores as one of the actual agents going out to fix the errors located by the SQUIP network. He's also sort of Will's parole officer, which is probably going to be a long and frustrating experience. He's probably gonna try to shove the guy into whatever therapy resources we might find, and ignore them himself until someone forces him to go. I'm sure eventually, this will reach a point where he considers Will's time done and lets him go...but it's hard to say how long that might take. The guy spent hundreds of years in time loops, after all; it's gonna take a long time more for things to start changing again.

No fankids here, but he'll be a doting uncle or whatever on all the kids that do exist!

LOOKING FOR; Anyone who's involved with Somniatores! The fact that he'll be going out and fixing whatever weird errors crop up in the multiverse could make for a huge variety of wacky adventures, or dramatic ones! He'd be open to bringing non-Somniatores people on these trips just for the experience of seeing different worlds - he wouldn't deliberately bring them anywhere he thought might end up being dangerous, but he can't always predict these things! Also, uh. He's probably gonna drag Will on some of these too, so.

Other people just generally; the Balladeer is pretty good at making himself available, especially since he doesn't have like, a real job? It would be nice for him to get to know some r2 folks better, since he never really did!

Also, while I think it's extremely funny that B has essentially sailed through this entire game without ever discovering the truth about what his eventual fate in Assassins would've been, he's bound to come across that eventually. Could make for some good hurt/comfort!

[employeeoftheyear]

Spongebob probably won't get drunk for a looong while due to that car crash experience being the first time he's had any booze but he will be totally up for partying hard and adventuring with pirates! He can bring some edibles with him to compensate!
