SERIOUS POLL!!!
By which I mean not serious at all.
SO I'M CURIOUS, for those of us that have characters with IC routines-- what does a normal day for your character look like? Do they always have tea every morning? Text "good night" to someone before bed? What can your character be found doing when there's no lives or specific things going on at any given time?

Requiem
- A TERRIBLE CONSTANTLY INTERRUPTED SLEEP SCHEDULE. it's gotten to the point where she usually just takes a couple-hour naps here and there.
- now that they have an awful poison plant garden she'll check on it daily and water etc because she doesn't expect pharaoh to get his lazy ass out of the sun patch to do it himself
- spends a portion of each day hidden away in her room working on songwriting/guitar practice, but tries not to do this too late at night since her room's not really soundproofed
- BATH LOUNGING IN THEIR GIANT TUB sorry everyone else she takes this up for at least an hour
- DAILY(or just occasional) TEXTS!!! One that didn't deserve their own threads and stuff. Also accounting for some past stuff:
King, Prim: No longer get general texts after Hunger Games, but she definitely used to send them cat memes or something.
C: No longer gets texts after Hunger Games, but she'd send all the cursed images she finds to him.
B: Cute animals only, but also probably stuff like spiders sometimes, they're cute too?? Bugs are cute.
E: basically just gets candid photos of Pharaoh, but like, blingee'd
Aries: daily smalltalk, random quips, selfies, and more pictures of spiders. maybe also cats
Sunrise: not daily, but occasionally gets smalltalk messages and blingee'd awful pictures of doodleman
Shu: not daily but every so often will get a text right at sundown of "RISE AND SHINE, THRALL, THE NIGHT AWAITS" and bat emojis. might also chat about fashion a little?
Hurricane: little semi-daily emojis or good mornings or what have you. smalltalk. memes. excited capslocking about snowball fights, etc
Nemesis: daily good morning or good night depending on when she remembers. mostly smalltalk, memes, cute pics. dumb stuff.
i'll edit this later for other stuff if need be tho

Most days he wakes up at the hideout he shares with Nem and then heads back to the dorms so he can do some training with his teammates.
After that, he juggles around what he actually spends the day doing in terms of order, but usually it involves at least a little of each of the following: running or doing rooftop parkour, practicing gymnastics stuff at the gym, sparring with Nem, watching movies on his phone, playing video games, bugging people he likes, riding his motorcycle and leveling up his motorcycle tricks, working on dumb new projects in the HSS workshop, and dicking around in the vid room. He texts anyone on his team or who he considers a friend at least once a day, often more. There’s rarely a point to these messages; they’re just checking in, seeing what folks are up to, emoji spam, sending badly-taken phone pics or whatever he happens to be doing, etc. If someone texts him wanting to hang out, the answer is always yes.
He eats breakfast and lunch most days with Nemesis, and when she isn't around he just skips them or buys snacks, since he still isn't picking up his rations. He usually skips dinner. He hits up the cafe at least every other day, because baked goods. (Also hot drinks. But mostly, baked goods.) He’s also prone to snacking just in general; his room and the hideout both have snacks in them at all times.
In the evenings, as often as it's allowed without inviting the grey plague again, he heads out to the hideout he shares with Nem. (This is a new routine as of the trial. Prior to this, they spent most nights in his room at the HSS dorm.) They spend the evening hanging out in the hideout mattress fort chatting and playing games, and he switches over to quieter activities that he can do to keep his hands busy, like origami or craft stuff. When Nemesis gets tired, Hurricane puts a movie on his phone with the sound turned down just low enough to hear and keeps working on his activity while she sleeps.
When he can possibly help it, he stays awake all night. When he can't, the nightmares usually wake him before long anyway, and he has a rough half hour or so before he can calm down again, at which point he attempts to stay up for the rest of the night.
On the nights he can't be at the hideout due to the grey plague being imminent, he hangs out in the HSS common room until about eleven or so doing his thing, then makes himself go exist in his room like a functional human being instead of letting on that he's a) always up all night and b) pretty needy still re: physical contact and having other people nearby.
Joker
Nights:
- doesn't sleep very well at all, but he's been getting better about sleeping on his own. has been taking to drugging self with sleep potion more often lately
- on especially bad nights, he'll be in the kitchen making coffee because fuck you he needs his comfort drink
- said bad sleep could involve dreams that Codex on BARiTONES wanders through. not daily, but he's definitely someone who gave a green light for Codex to do that (this is fine)
Days:
- starts his day trying meditation in his room! current goal is to get a music player eventually so he can do this with Tatsuya in the mornings because eyyyy coping things
- after, generally in the kitchen making coffee for himself and whoever wanders by. will accept payments or trades but also isn't too fussed about not getting anything
- WORKOUTS! this is not DAILY (depends on what's going on that day) but he has been trying to get around to going hard at it and will invite/ask Maki if she wants to train also--Mars has also offered up sparring, so he can be found at the gym with either Maki or Mars currently?
- LIBRARY! this is not DAILY (depends on what's going on that day) but he has been researching things involving PTSD and coping mechanisms and other psychological things, probably going to start poking around in other areas also. currently has asked Maki and Codex to keep him on task if they're around because he tends to space out
- checking in with friends/boyfriend is something he tries to get to every day because that's just the person he is. may lose track of time when spending time with them, however
- time at Bad End is more frequent than it had been before, mostly just kind of chills in his room and-or bothers unitmates about something or another
Basically unless there's something specific going on, feel free to assume he is doing any of the above.
Tatsuya
• At some god-awful predawn hour, Tatsuya has a tendency of going out in this + some Bad End jewelry and doing some warmup stretches in the lobby before going outside and having a morning run. He tends to run the same route, a circuit around a several-block area until he finally winds up back at the hotel.
• After he's done running, he'll hit up the kitchen for some bland morning rations to snack on and head back up to his dorm for a few hours.
• Once Joker gets a music player, he'll be joining him for morning meditations.
Morning:
• Guitar practice! Sometimes this is in his room and that's soundproofed so no one will hear him. Sometimes it's in the living room, but if that's the case he'll try to wait until most people are awake because he tries not to be an asshole about it.
Days:
• Does try to check in with boyfriends/unitmates at least once a day. He's not too fussed if he doesn't run into them, but he tries in his own way.
• He hits up the gym at least once a day.
• Motorcycle rides! This is one of the most soothing things for him, and he'll just ride around for hours with no real destination.
• Parkour! He was taught about this once and he loves it, so he tries every once in a while to level up with this. It's a lot of fun.
• Sometimes he'll abruptly head into his nice soundproofed room and ████ ??
→ He will not talk about what he's doing in there.
• Basically, there's a lot of running around the city and doing random things.
Evenings:
• He makes sure to stop by the dorm in the evenings, usually to just flop lazily in the living area for a while. He'll drag his dinner into the dorm, even if it's just the rations from the kitchen.
Nights:
• Some nights, he tries to sleep. Often that's with Phoenix or both Phoenix and Crow.
→ If he's trying to sleep on his own, it's guaranteed he's using sleeping potions. He gets them from Crow every so often.
→ He does not sleep well most nights. The most he tends to manage without sleeping potions is half an hour/forty-five minutes at a time, then a couple of hours of just lying in the darkness. But he still does better if he has someone with him because he can reach out and touch them.
→ Sleeping alone means potions which means he sleeps through the night! But he diassociates wildly when he wakes up and tends to have a hard time communicating the next day, needs to casually reach out and touch people more.
• Some nights, he doesn't bother trying to sleep at all. Those nights, he'll usually just continue doing whatever he was doing during the day.

Mornings:
-when she can, she tries to go on morning runs with silver.
-sometimes she braids mars' hair, because that is a nice quiet morning thing to do.
-reads books.
-mornings are usually her chill time.
Midday:
-THIS IS WHEN SHE PARTICIPATES IN LIVES MOST!! even tho she does participate whenever, she just tends to catch these more.
-Checking in on all of her people.
-Goes to the cafe, usually by herself. But she has been inviting Maki recently. This is her quiet time most of the time unless she's invited someone.
Nights:
-Ever since the button tournament, she has had trouble sleeping. Upon suggestion of Fox...she has been trying sleeping potions to help her get some rest.
-HSS said FUCK BEDS!! so she sleeps in a mattress pile with them. that being said, she much prefers to be sleeping NEAR someone. she feels safer.
-If she manages sleep without a sleeping potion, it's...restless and uncomfortable.
-Has unfortunately learned what an all nighter is, especially after bad games.
RANDOM STUFF:
-If you have even a little bit of CR with Prim, assume she tries to text your character once in a while. Usually funny memes, or cute cat pictures.
-Closer CR/Unit mates get texted more frequently....memes and cat pictures and actual substantial texting.
-She bullies Mars, I don't make the rules.
-If she isn't sleeping in HSS, she is usually sleeping in Taisho. There is a Fox Kigu with her NAME on it.
-Loves gardening, and wants more stuff in the HSS garden.
will probably add more when not sleepy. but. ~this is what prim does~.

He has some tea and a small breakfast. He's been making steady improvements with eating -- when he first arrived six weeks ago, he was only able to eat one meal per day, and not even all of it. Now he can handle all three rations per day, and even finishes most of them. He's doing good!
Every other day, he goes to John's first aid class from 7-9 am. On the off days, he attends morning Lives or kills time by doing yoga in his room. If the weather's nice he'll take a walk around the park or other areas around the hotel. He likes the snow, even though he doesn't have great clothes for it. He doesn't know the first thing about plants but he loves the greenhouse too, so he spends a lot of time in there.
At 9 am he goes to the gym for two or three hours. He does cardio and strength training, then finishes his workout with some laps in the pool. His health has improved so much since he first arrived. He's still on the thin side but he's putting on a lot of healthy weight. He feels stronger and more capable all the time, and it's good to feel a sense of positive change in a place like this.
After the gym, he comes back to the hotel for lunch. Afternoons are usually spent bumming around, attending Lives, saying hello to people.
In the summer, when the days were long and warm, he spent a lot of time exploring Tokyo-F. He'd go to the beach and stick his feet in the water. He'd poke around fake shrines and temples. He wandered around Tokyo Disneyland and the Imperial Palace. But now that the weather has turned, he's been doing more indoor activities during quiet times, like taking a book and a snack to go enjoy the onsen by himself.
He usually hits up the cafe daily or every other day, especially if he's on his way back from somewhere. He wants to try everything on the menu, but he's still working his way through all the bubble tea flavors. He loves every pastry.
He's always back at the hotel before it starts getting dark, which is around 5 pm these days. He has his dinner, hits up evening Lives if there are any, and has tea and reads books when there aren't. He likes nonfiction -- biographies, tales of adventure, stuff he can learn -- but he's been reading a lot of mysteries these days, too.
He doesn't text people very much.
He usually goes to bed pretty early. On rougher days he soothes himself with Cloud Nine until he falls asleep, and does it again when he wakes up with nightmares. The night after the Hunger Games was the first time he's had to use a potion to get to sleep. He's grateful for the arrival of the recent dorm upgrade -- a lounge full of beanbag chairs -- because he is starting to work some depression naps into his schedule and that's a comfortable place to do it.
He's trying to keep to his morning routine but he's been staying at home a bit more lately while he deals with Feelings. He's doing his best.
