Lunch, and GOSSIP!

[applesaucemod]

Hello, fritterlings. Carrie here, sans lunch, because the lunch was a lie. I just wanted to quote MST3K. Ten points to anyone who knows which episode that line is from!

Anyway. Two orders of business.

Order the First: There is still quite a bit of backdating going on as we approach this crossover event, and I know several of us are getting pretty overwhelmed. In the interest of mitigating that, the other mods and I are fully on board with the idea of another calendar freeze while we try and get caught up. Since we don't want to bork the crossover or ask another community to cool their collective heels while we play catch-up, we'd keep the Dreaming chugging along until our party post goes up at the end of the month, but the waking world calendar could halt anytime.

What are your thoughts on this? How much time do you anticipate needing? Personally, given our general propensity for backdating into infinity and the busy holiday season, I don't think it would be at all unreasonable to keep things in stasis into January, but I also don't want those of us who aren't struggling to get bored.

Order the Second: Given how much is going on, this seems like a great opportunity for an OOC gossip post. What have your characters been up to? What, if anything, do you have planned for their near futures? Let's all get caught up on everyone else's business! This could also be used for some future plotting; we can throw our non-busy characters at one another while we let the busy ones get back up to speed.

So! This is a lot to respond to, so to keep things tidy, there will be two mod header comments below, one for the freeze and one for gossip. Reply to either one as needed.

Topher has been doing like literally nothing. He met Daniel. That's the one thing he's done in a whole in-game month. I need to do something with him. Because he's basically just sitting by himself in the dark.

Topher can team up with Rush in his Not-So-Secretly Fucking With ROMAC projects if that's something he's interested. This sneaky scientist is definitely looking to (a) consolidate some sort of power in that political chain and (b) consequently screw everyone else over so he can achieve the PRIME OBJECTIVE (C) which is to do a lot of Science

[brink]

Topher is only partially interesting in fucking with Romac - mostly he's just interested in them like... not having totalitarian power of rifties and abusing it - but he is SUPER interested in Science. Team science!

[lottawork]

Rush will be very very about gaining power and then abusing it. He won't be using those powers for good or evil so much as just for science. Straddling those moral walkways, you know.

Iman is gonna side-eye Topher REALLY hard you guys

[lottawork]

Seeing as ROMAC is basically built on side-eyeing it's looking like it'll be moral fuckery all around
