THE DAILY LIFE MEME

GREETINGS LUCETIANS. Long ago, on a distant server, Kyio once unleashed a pleasant meme. But then it's been over a year and yeah, we need to do it again. It's sort of like an info survey.

Well it's back, with new questions! And thanks to Dreamwidth's generous comment character count, these might even fit into a single comment! It's a 33 question survey/meme about your characters and their experiences and developments in Luceti. It'll give you a better idea of where your characters are at and let other people get a good sense of what your character is like and up to. It can make for interesting stuff, really.

1) Height: (either canon/current height or just a guess)

2) Weight: (either canon/current weight or just a guess)

3) Eye color/Hair Color: (also add whether the color is supposed to look/represent another color (IE: hair looks blue, is supposed to represent black) or was dyed or ... whatever)

4) Age: (Also note if they're supposed to look younger/older than they are)

5) Physical features: (Anything that stands out about them, especially if the icons don't seem to show it)

6) Voice: (either link to a clip, choose a character/actor's voice you think your character sounds like (for those who don't have VAs or actual actors) or just type out what you think they'd sound like -- whatever way you wanna go about it.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

1) Height: 5'9"/175 cm. She typically wears about two-inch heels, though, putting her at just under 6'0" in practice.

2) Weight: 117 lb/53 kg ~~all boobs~~

3) Eye color/Hair Color: Blue and aqua respectively.

4) Age: Noooooo clue. Canon doesn't say, but I'm guessing "around as long as sentient life has existed" is about right. Time travel makes it impossible to put a number to it. She looks to be in her mid-twenties, though!

5) Physical features: Incredible beauty (Norma has said she's "in the realm of the gods") and ~~epic boobs~~ a fantastic figure.

6) Voice: Ta-da!

7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: Grune lives with Fenimore, Sophie, Walter, and at least temporarily Norma in House 34! She tries to do the housework (dusting and sweeping in particular), but Fenimore usually has to follow and get the spots she missed/forgot about/abandoned. She also tends to bake all their desserts, once again under Fenimore's eye.

As for the others, Fenimore handles breakfast and supper and most housework, Norma gets lunch, and Walter does the hard physical labour. XD;; And they all watch Sophie.

8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?: Grune eats everything, having no sense of taste whatseover. It's all equally delicious to her!

Cooking, as above, is divided between Fenimore and Norma, with Fenimore doing the majority of it. Grune handles dessert. XD;

9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: Grune typically wakes up and goes to bed at completely random points in the day; she's on no fixed schedule whatsoever, so she doesn't really have a routine so much as a bunch of activities she does whenever she feels like. These include looking after her garden and the Memory Garden, doing stuff around the house, looking after Sophie (under supervision), picking flowers, going on rambles, visiting friends, drawing, wandering around the village, and spacing out. Every few days, she checks the clinic to see if anyone needs visiting, and two or three times a week, she gets groceries for Dhaos and delivers them to the sixth floor kitchen in CH3. She also ventures out to the beach about once every week or two.

10) Their general sense of fashion: Green and revealing, pretty much. These are a few good examples of other things she tends to wear. She's virtually never without her veil, except at the beach, and only her housemates ~~and Dhaos during Luceti Valley~~ will have seen her without her hair braided or braided and pinned up.

11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: Gardening, baking, hanging with friends, drawing, going for wanders, picking flowers, and recently, stargazing. While I doubt anyone would have let her near a stove on the Legacy, the only really new ones are drawing and stargazing. That last one is courtesy of a certain giant blond dude....

12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: Noooope. Grune loves everyone on the Legacy. Grune loves everyone in Luceti.

13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: She does! She has...an urn. No, seriously. She rarely carries it with her; usually, she uses it to hold the flowers she's picked.

14) Who are their neighbors?: House 32, CH6, CH3, and, erm, the Battle Dome!

15) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what? ...Oh lord, this list got small. Formerly, Giles, Ginia, and Link. Currently Fenimore, Norma, and Dhaos, and after the last event, Cecil. Helios and Rydia are also way up there. ...And probably others, but what is brain function.

16) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: GARDENS. 8D Otherwise, everywhere. Grune wanders all over the place and loves everything.

17) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?:

She keeps her wings completely uncovered and is perfectly comfortable with them. On nice days, they're often spread slightly to catch the breeze.

18) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: Nope. Grune could stay in Luceti for a hundred years and look identical to the day she arrived.

19) What do they miss the most from home?: Easy: the rest of her family. So, Senel, Chloe, Will, and Moses. If they were here, she'd be...even more perfectly happy than she already is.

20) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?: Grune's writing is extremely neat. It basically looks like a child's cursive exercise book. She pretty much writes the way she talks, minus her usual "Oh" and "Hmm...." speech pattern.

21) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: Nope. Grune is Grune no matter how you interact with her.

22) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: Well, Grune continues to be unable to remember her goals, so yeah. But if she could, they would only be put on hold--not lost. Schwartz isn't exactly someone you can ignore. :D;;

Her new goal is to get to visit her friends after Luceti, but, well. We'll see how that goes.

23) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Definitely an upgrade. What is electricity?

Amusingly, she's probably adapted the best of everyone out of her household--more likely than not because she wasn't particularly adept at the Legacy's level of technology, so the bar was set pretty low.

24) FOR STUDENTS: What is their favorite class? What is their least favorite class? What about their general behavior in school?: N/A

25) FOR DRINKERS: What is their favorite drink? What is their least favorite drink? Do they prefer Good Spirits or Cloud Nine? What's their attitude about and while drinking?: N/A ~~unless Cecil shows poor judgment again.~~

26) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Gardening and blowing things up really well. :|b Also making friends with practically everybody and mothering half of Luceti, apparently.

27) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how? Grune now knows how to play the piano...sort of. Frederic Chopin was teaching her, no doubt much to his frustration. She's really rusty at the moment, but she could probably pick it up again fairly quickly if she had a few good memory days.

She also has her pact with Nala and will probably be making one with Faeren any day now.

28) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting? Grune will stock up on healing items beforehand and distribute them to everyone she comes across during the draft. Surprisingly, she is willing to kill in the course of battle and has done so. Tales worlds can be fairly harsh at times, and Melfes is no exception.

29) What kind of habits do they have on missions? What is their reason for going on them? What do they intend to use their points for? Grune has never been on a mission, so I can't really answer this one, but I imagine if she went, she would earn points to buy lots of nice things for her friends. If she had any left over, she would save up for a greenhouse. But probably she wouldn't actually get it for herself, because she's self-sacrificing like that.

30) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?: Grune has been in Luceti for a year and eight months now. And nope, she hasn't changed a bit since arriving. ~~My activity just increased dramatically around the six-month mark.~~

31) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft? Grune will spend time with her friends for the most part, although if she's too upset, she'll go do something like garden by herself so as not to worry anyone.

Recently, Grune has taken to drawing pictures of friends who have recently gone home for her walls as a way of saying goodbye.

32) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked? The worst experiments have also been the best for Grune. Both Luceti Valley and the recent AU were wonderful for her while they were happening, because they allowed her to have some measure of a traditional family--a husband in one and kids in another--which she's never had. Unfortunately, her family was then ripped away from her at the end of the experiment, leaving her deeply upset and confused.

It's hard to say which one impacted her the most. Dhaos all but physically booted her from his apartment in rage after Luceti Valley, but Grune lost thirty-nine years of memories after the most recent event. Both were really rough on her.

As for experiments, she likes--most of them, really. She thinks they're fun. Yup. XD

33) Anything else you want to note?: Here's a recent description of Grune's room for anyone who visits. And if you see any opportunities for interaction, let me know! I'm pretty damn buried under my tags at the moment (the last two weeks have been hellish, work-wise @_@), but in another few weeks, I should be very open for new plots, threads, and CR. ♥

Thanks for reading~
