HANDWAVED CR AND MINGLE MEME
Has your character been here for a while now? Are you tired of meeting characters for the first time even though they've been actually sharing a class and/or work space for a month now? Well, here is the solution for you! The Handwaved CR Meme! Instead of stressing out trying to thread with every character you would reasonably encounter right off the bat, here is an opportunity to OOCly discuss and establish casual meetings and connections that have already happened but never had the time or need to be threaded out.
This is best used for things like characters sharing a class in the Coven, or working in the same location, or pursuing the same quests. Or maybe even being roomates! Anything where characters have been occupying the same space for the last while, but haven't had the opportunity to thread it out yet. Get those first building blocks of CR out of the way, and prepare yourself for more intense threading later.
THE RULES:
- I'm going to start off by posting some different subject headers, centered around common activities or locations I can think of. Beneath these headers, you can go ahead and post about what your character is generally doing there and the impression they may give off.
- Then, other people react! Reply to people who have posted with how your character would generally engage with their presence, and establish some nice, casual CR. Are you that loudmouth that won't stop talking over people in Evocation class? This is where people can tell you how you make them feel!
- Post your own subject headers! I'm just putting up what comes to mind, but if you have other subjects you'd like to mingle over, go ahead and make them a reality.
- These don't necessarily have to be first meetings, it can also be used to flesh out CR you've established elsewhere.

An offer from a handsome woman is always welcome. Also!! She's never ridden a horse /sparkles. But she..can't promise not holding onto Maria in that case..
no subject
Anyway, incidental contact is about the only thing keeping this Witch from going nuclear so. You know.
no subject
Trueee...Yeah there's fair warning that Alex will be showing more merrow characteristics especially coz she doesnt have a bond. And then stress also makes her own symptoms from drug use act up so that may appear down the line. Sooo that may not...help Maria being okay with the fish >> Although that's down the line and not part of this meme ahaha.
But Alex will have been very eager to do gardening things with Maria and invite her in for meals! She does mostly Italian type dishes and is a decent enough cook. By now I'd say she at least feels that Maria is a nice person so she won't be as intimidated, but she'll still be a little awkward since she worries about making Maria uncomfortable (so making sure she's a good enough distance, covering up as much of her physical traits as she can)

... And hey! Working into the future is fine. It's within the spirit of a CR meme, I'd wager.
Either way, she might turn down the first couple of requests for dinner. She's really just kind of awkwardly avoiding interacting with Monsters like that, but... ply her with enough being harmless, and she'll let her guard down eventually. And then the world is... ah... our oyster?? Maybe???
no subject
/sparkles at
She'll try not to look too disappointed, but she'll light up the moment she says yes. If she makes too much of something she might just leave it by her door (at a reasonable time so it's not under the sun or outside for too long).
no subject
Aww yiss free food. To a grumpy old dead chick, it's fine, Alex is cute, she gets kind of a pass.
no subject
but uh hold up is she actually
dead
dead?
Alex might need a moment for that one.
no subject
Actually, technically, Maria died twice in canon lol.
no subject
But uh...looking good, Maria
no subject
But she's hot so she has that... going for her?
no subject
She’s sorta used to it. Might help you cover up a body too.
Can’t discount the hotness
no subject
no subject
....Yeah she's...not sure how that's any better.... But who's she to judge about what people used to do.
Okay she might be a little scared for a moment, but it'll pass.
no subject
But you know, curry some friendliness and she'll be a lot less stabby. Heck, she might even be able to go for the gold at some point.
no subject
Well then I'm very curious how this CR will go then! Alex would be quite torn and may go back and forth about how she feels about it. But I guess, to be fair the people who saved her were originally supposed to kill her so if Maria's nice to her in the end it's fiiiine. And once Alex sees you as a friend or someone to care about she's..kinda hard to shake off.
she will definitely be friendly to avoid the stabby. Altho if she goes feral on Maria, Alex wouldnt blame her if she got stabby.
no subject
Yes good, get a little attached. It makes the conflict later when the truth about Maria's life comes to light that much more fun to thread out.
Ahaha, though... Maria's already probably going to kill Wolf for going feral on her, she's fine putting down other... friends... of hers...
no subject
Oh...oh no...Oh no Wolf..
no subject
And hey, he might want it, considering watching your body shift is freaky
