let's get a little more familiar

The Common Knowledge Meme

Maybe you're classmates. Maybe you hang around the same stairwell. Maybe, realistically, your characters should be doing battle over the dormitory's only kitchen for dinner rights—but since it isn't possible to thread everything out with everyone all the time, let's make things easier!

Protocol:
1. Post with your character(s) and list things that could be considered "common knowledge" around the school, including anything you think people might know or notice even if your characters haven't ever met or spoken directly. Yogen's a pretty big school, after all. Feel free to make categories if you feel like it'll help!

Fun ideas to include...
An average day or week for your character.
Things people might notice right away by looking at them (how they dress, notable scars, etc).
Behaviors people might notice by seeing them often.
Places they can usually be found and what they do there.
Small facts that might come up in conversation about your character.
Little things your character does for other students (who else here is making lunches for their NPC friends).

2. Then go reply to other people with relevant common knowledge/headcanon between your characters!

Fun ideas to consider...
How your characters might know one another (same classes, same floor, similar interests, nine degrees of separation).
Anything specific they might have noticed about them recently (like changes in activity).
How often they see each other or spend time with/around each other.
Recent developments they might be aware of that've likely been handwaved.
Who they might be familiar with by proxy (for people who might complain talk about their roommates, classmates, other students in general, etc).

3. Use this opportunity to handwave some CR or plot things! Got something you think your character's CR should know but haven't had a chance for it to come up? Is there someone your character sees often enough or hears about often enough that there's some basis for CR but you just haven't had the chance to talk about it? Now's your chance.

Most of all, have fun and don't stress!

Helena might now know more about computer specs than she ever intended to :' ). They might chat in the library sometimes since they both frequent it and I don't know if Helena's noticed that he's sleeping in class but... what did they cover this week... just making sure you know.....

[decrypter]

listen fill her head with computer facts! just because she hasn't used one herself doesn't mean she isn't fascinated by everything he's telling her and mentally making an image of one in her head. also she 100% knows he's been sleeping through class and will only share her notes and study with him if he makes it worth her while aka promise to stay awake on test day and occasionally bring her a fruit

[notsosou]

you've twisted his arm and the pact is sealed ... does vending machine fruit count?
Contemplating him regaining a laptop at some point so if she'd like to use one we could do something there

[decrypter]

vending machine fruit counts, it's just her trying to get some level of vitamins in her system so one day she can hope she can grow taller

if he does get a laptop regain! she at least wants to sit next to him and listen to how it works out of curiosity - the idea of portable computers probably blew her mind!

[notsosou]

you can do it Helena!

and yissss okay it's going On The List, we're gonna make this happen

[decrypter]

one day she'll be taller...she Believes

and YAY i'm excited for this to happen then!
