Time for a community wide offscreen meme! What's your character's daily routine? Where do they like to hang out? What units do they visit a lot? How often are they hanging out at their own unit's dorm? Share whatever your characters get up, so others can take notice or even strike up some new CR!

Izanagi spends most of his days out and about! He's been reading a lot of books in the library relating to medicine and finding good recipe books to bring back to the dorms - he's definitely helping out with cooking for everyone and is pretty open to requests, he just needs to be able to find a recipe for the thing first.

He also likes to spend time at the arcade! He gets really into fighting games, but he's working his way through trying out all of them just to see what they're about. He's pretty good at the dancing games, too, which is great because this boy has too much energy and needs to burn it somehow.

Otherwise he just tends to wander, although that will be less and less once he's sure he's got all the locations and routes down. So far he doesn't really visit other units unless there's specifically some kind of gathering going on.

Cobalt's an early riser and starts his day at the crack of dawn (or earlier, since dawn comes late in the winter). He attends first aid class almost religiously -- I think he's only missed one so far, when he came on time and left 10 minutes in because he was so off his game due to a very bad memory the day before.

He goes to the gym every morning and works out as long as he feels like it (usually around 2-4 hours). Leviathan usually shows up and they practice hand-to-hand combat together, mostly just for the fun of it.

After the gym he goes back to the pep dorms for lunch. He's been trying to learn how to cook, so he often practices recipes from his beginner's cookbook. He's really not very good at this at all. He has abominable hand-eye coordination, so any task that requires even a little dexterity, like cutting vegetables into even slices, or trimming meat, or using small measuring spoons, is a real struggle. He's slowly starting to improve with practice, but how any meal is going to come out is anyone's guess. No matter how it comes out, he eats all of it and nothing gets thrown away, no matter how ruined. If anything comes out alright, though, he'll share it with whatever unitmates happen to be around. He'll have rations or go to the cafe later if he's still hungry.

He likes socializing so he'll hit up most of the Lives he can. During afternoons when nothing much is going on, he spends a lot of time in the arcade playing racing and rhythm games. He also spends a lot of time jogging around Tokyo-F and exploring. The city's so big, and it's full of weird little shrines and fountains and monuments that are fun to find. He used to go to the park a lot, or work on his garden on the pep balcony, but ever since Betrayal he's not on speaking terms with plants any more. Marie Kondo'd trees right out of his life for the time being.

For about a month he was working on the Compendium with Hiryuu, writing draft after draft in the pep!pep! dorm. Hiryuu would write up her half and Cobalt would type it up on the computer. There were a lot of edits and research involved, a lot of meetings with Intensity to make sure all the information was as up to date and correct (as far as we knew). Right as they were almost finished, Maintenance happened and they practically had to overhaul half of it because there was so much new information. It took a really long time.

Fortunately he doesn't have to do much work to maintain it, and after games or whatever he'll sit down and do a little writing for the next edition.

On difficult days (after bad games, for example) he tends to be less social, taking extra-long soaks in pep's sento-style bath, or spending the entire day exploring the far edges of Tokyo-F, near the boundaries, where he's less likely to encounter anybody. He's always back at the hotel by nightfall, though, and carries a small camping lantern at all times just in case he gets caught in the dark.

He tends to stay inside the hotel after sunset, eating dinner and chilling out until bedtime. He turns into a pumpkin pretty fairly early in the evening. He sleeps a lot. Cloud Nine before bed keeps the nightmares away.

Amaranth’s routine begins very early most days (something like 4:00-4:30am). She typically heads out to the gym for a long workout and showers there before returning to LiliS to eat breakfast. Two-three times a week she changes this up and instead jogs to the stables to practice riding, and also because she simply finds it enjoyable.

After returning to the hotel, she’ll then head to John’s class if it’s being held (and they’re not currently in an especially bad argument); she’s only missed a few since she began attending (even though I the player am bad at checking in).

Later in the day she’ll attend Lives if they catch her interest, or head to the vid room to practice sparring if not. If she’s resting her muscles, she’ll instead take a long walk through the park or, more rarely, visit the library for a book to bring back to her room. Anatomy texts interest her, as well as military history (naturally), but she also occasionally picks up books of poetry.

Amaranth isn’t a particularly skilled chef, but she’ll make herself available to help with preparation if anyone in LiliS is cooking. She’ll occasionally contribute simple rice and vegetable dishes.

Later in the evening she’ll settle down in LiliS’s garden to relax, usually with a pot of green tea.
...Unless she’s over at avante flirting with Cardigan, of course.

Shrike wakes up a little before dawn, makes her bed in perfect military precision, folds her pajamas, and then goes running with Griffin and often Sekhmet. She and Griffin are also talking about adding sparring to the post-run agenda.

Usually in the late morning during the non-winter she works on the garden/farm in the park, doing weeding and watering. Then lunch, then over to the library to rotate which books she has checked out and then home for reading.

She often helps with or takes point on avante dinners. She isn't much of a night owl, although she's the sort of person who can usually manage on very little sleep. That one time Amaranth corralled the Exalted cast to watch a memory at like 3am at the onsen when she was obligated to try and make Shishiou learn sword-handling discipline at daybreak was stretching it, though.

Paloma always wakes up on time for John Doe's first aid classes, although she'd be up that early regardless because she's got all this stuff to get done! She genuinely enjoys the learning aspect and also the hassling John aspect.

Middle of the day varies; she is often at the library because she has like a hundred years of the sciences to catch up on and it's not going to read itself. She will then attend basically every Live that happens* because it's a great way to get to know people and make useful and interesting connections. She'll also sometimes use the vid room for marksmanship practice.

She also tends to hang out with a cup of coffee and a book near where people are milling about for that Good Good People-Watching Time. She is basically never in the shared kitchen for meals, though, and if no one's cooking in that BARiTONES dorm will probably pick something up from one of the food establishments to go.

End of day is reading, hanging out in her own personal pool, and contemplating her many irons in her many fires.

* She specifically does not show up for Lives that are centered around eating food unless she really needs points in which case it's bartending counter-live time.

Griffin wakes up a bit later than Shrike, because he doesn't make his goddamn bed like a hooligan, but he does make sure all the avante kittens are fed and puts on some instant coffee, then they go out for a morning run and exercise. Maybe on the way back, swing by the store for a banana to munch on and send a Feint out to get groceries, do various errands. Get back to dorm and shower.

If he's not training in the Vid Room, then he'll be working on one of his various art projects: trying to teach himself guitar, sketching out designs for potential carvings, driving out to remote parts of the city to work on tags, or experimenting with new foods (current goal: hamburgers, rice balls, putting spaghetti into new forms).

Will help with avante dinners, feed and play with the kittens again, zone out to some Loud Music in the music room, and head to bed early like a goddamn dad.
