WAVES OF MISFORTUNE

“Nice to meet you, I’m ___.”

ZARINA BAUDELAIRE

[dips her head slightly in acknowledgment in their direction, expression unreadable]

(matter-of-factly) "Zarina. It's a pleasure to meet you."

if it's someone she's trying to appeal to: [dips her head slightly in acknowledgment in the person's direction, face softened]

(gently, but evenly) “Zarina. It's nice to meet you.”

HUGO “CRICKET” TINOCO

[offers a warm smile and puts his hand out to shake or otherwise gives whatever form of greeting is culturally appropriate]

(warmly) “Name's Hugo. Nice to meet you.”

(calls from afar) “He means Cricket! Sorry, he gets a little confused sometimes!”

[pauses, face twitching in frustration as he looks over to meet Benji's eyes]

[grinning widely, gives an obnoxious wink]

[lets out a slow, heavy sigh, putting his face in his hand. Eyes the person off the side of his hand, trying his best to ignore Benji]

(embarrassedly) “Or... you can call me Cricket. Most everyone else on the crew does.”

FLAVIE (THE AMNESIAC)

[clumsily offers her hand for a shake or, otherwise, whatever gesture of greeting is culturally expected]

(awkwardly) “Um, I've been going by 'Flavie'. Nice to meet you?”

BENJAMIN “BENJI” AIKAWA

[offers a cocky grin and the appropriate cultural greeting]

(amusedly) “Benjamin, but you can call me 'Benji'. Nice to meet you.”

[and gives a wink]

(from afar, annoyedly) “You sure it wasn't 'Chris' or something?”

[half laughs, half scoffs, shaking his head. Stands on his tip toes as he leans to better see Cricket and cups his hand around his mouth]

(amusedly calls back) “Nah, what kinda stupid name is 'Chris'!?”

“Well, I'm 'boutta make it 'Sloth' if you don't get back to work!”

[busts out laughing]

YESVAL GONZÁLEZ

[eyeing them with an unimpressed look]

(curtly) “Yesval. If you don't need anything, go away.”

ZHIHAO (THE FAMILIAR)

[has no reason to greet anyone. Is hidden, ominously watching people from the shadows... or invisibly]

[making eye contact, lifts a paw and flops it in imitation of a wave before vanishing]

alternatively: [rolling his eyes, creates an illusion of a heavy, exasperated sigh and gets himself comfortable. Uses another illusion to 'speak']

(voice sharp and annoyed) “Yes, I am a fox. No, you may not pet me. I am a familiar, not a pet, and I will bite you if you put your hand anywhere near me.”

with Benji around: [caught peeking around a corner, from the rafters, or any sort of otherwise-hidden spot. Narrows his eyes on theirs before shrinking back into his spot or completely disappearing]

(awkwardly) “Oh, uh, that's my familiar. You can call him Zhihao, but, uh... he doesn't really talk. Y'know, on account of being a familiar. You can just, yknow... talk to me.”

[forces a laugh and a lopsided grin, awkwardly raising a hand to rub the back of his neck]

with anyone else of the crew around: [caught peeking one way or another, but quickly hides again]

(amusedly) "Oh! Yeah, that's Zhihao, Benjamin's familiar. He's always lurking around. Don't worry about him, we know he's here and he actually helps take care of rats and stuff."

NEW STORY DROP!!!

This, Waves of Misfortune (WoM), and Rising From The Ashes (RFtA) are both getting officially released to my blog soon!

Due to... current events... and the themes contained within these stories—but especially RFtA—I've decided to put my other works on halt while I instead allow myself to focus on them!

On that note, you guys are going to start seeing a lot of content for the two stories and their characters coming up!

If you'd like to be kept updated on these stories, please ask to be added to their respective taglists! I'm going to tag everyone current-ly ;D in any of my taglists for the first few posts for each story, but will drop off for anyone who doesn't voice their interest!

NEW “POST GENRE” ANNOUNCEMENT!

As my longtime mutuals/followers fans are probably aware, I have a habit of creating “post genres”—aka, where I create a series of posts along the same themes or using the same system.

For example, we have: #oc questionnaire #oc in three #oc moodboard tag #oc voice tag

WELL GUESS WHAT!

Announcing the arrival of a new “genre”:

OC INTERROGATION!

In these posts, I will select questions that will elicit an interesting answer or reaction from individual characters and interrogate them!

These “OC Interrogations” will be written assuming the character is locked into a room—under magical “truth serum”-esque effects—until they answer the provided questions! They'll be written in a format similarly to my outlines, but they'll be continuous until I get through all the questions!

(Examples provided toward the end of the post)

HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN!

If you'd like to ask any questions of the characters, feel free to!

(Similarly, you can also ask me any questions about them, lol.)

Either send in an ask with your question(s) and the character(s) they're for, or feel free to comment it here! I will collect the “requests” for each character and eventually post the interrogation alongside a tag for those within their respective taglist... and whoever asked the question(s), lol.

Naturally, I reserve the right to deny any questions that will bring up spoilerific answers, but I will one way or another share those questions with the class for prosperity!

I'd prefer if we focused on RFtA or Waves, but feel free to pull from anything! It'll just take longer for me to get to things outside of them! (Also, I have a special preference for RFtA, as it's my main project rn, but feel free for either or any!)

Waves of Misfortune

Zarina Baudelaire Hugo “Cricket” Tinoco Flavie (the amnesiac) Benjamin “Benji” Aikawa Yesval González Zhihao (the familiar)

WIP EXAMPLE:

So, we have a few questions for you, Carmin! [face empty beyond the slightest hint of bitterness] (voice hollow, but hoarse from disuse) “... of course you do.” Right, haha. So, if you're ready to begin? (still hoarse and empty) “I don't have a choice in the matter, do I?” I guess not! Well, to begin with: Are you scared of the dark? Why or why not?

[as she spoke, slowly stopped trying to fight the words escaping her. Just stared dead-eyed at the camera by the end] (finally, finishes numbly) “... it's just... easier to let them think that.” Hmm... I see. That looked like it was hard to admit, Carmin. [eyes narrow slightly on the camera, but otherwise looks just as dead inside as before] (flatly) “Fuck you.” She bites! >;D [doesn't react. Just crosses her arms, leans back in her seat again, and shakes her leg impatiently as she waits for the next question]
