Timeskip CR Meme
While similar to the CR meme in some ways, the fields within the text area below are meant to facilitate planning and plotting so that by the time the CR meme rolls around everyone has a much clearer idea of what all has been happening and in what direction they are heading, especially as the timeskip looms large on the horizon.
Should you need it, you can always refer to the re-posted Timeskip Calendar for ideas! Characters have already been starting up businesses (coffee shops, playhouses, a P.I. office, even a business selling non-locket network devices!) so be sure to check it out!
If you intend to opt out of the timeskip, please PM the mod account with the dates/nature of your opt out!

As a note, please remember the following:
- There will be no new shardbearers, no monthly events (and perforce no boons). Monarch contact will be limited to include shardbearers highly ranked within their court.
- Fairy rings will be inoperable. Powers, abilities, and boons may be used to allow for fast-travel. Otherwise, characters must hoof it to where they wish to go.
- Lockets will not work. Characters would need traditional means to keep in touch, or need to fashion (or purchase) their own alternative means of magical communication. These alternative devices can be used on the network alongside lockets, and can be fashioned to interact with lockets.
- Border violence will be the norm. Small incursions and raids into enemy territory will be frequent. Unseelie in Seelie territory, and vice versa, will be hunted by patrols/town guards/etc. NPC guards may unexpectedly drop into threads where characters are in enemy territory.
- Boons all perform to their original specifications. None are depowered or vanished, though all would show the signs of age as appropriate for the passage of time.
- Influence and quests would continue to be given and rewarded as normal (one quest per player per ooc month), for our OOC sanity. PCs who are able to give quests are encouraged to have an expanded docket of them at the ready.
So, without further ado!

you're welcome to have luke ask for whatever he needs! swords included! he remembers you, bro; you've earned a sword or three.
no subject
omg, don't. he's going to cry, he loves swords. stop trying to woo him, mr valdez!
but i remember i pitched to you about luke approaching leo about building something for his foxes! i still want him to do that! but given that his own situation has changed, is it actually feasible for leo to build an underground tunnel? luke's got the means of blasting it, but he doesn't have the materials he wants or needs -- and leo's basically a blacksmith who can probably create metal walls and the like vs luke relying on mother nature. (he's building a house over the timeskip and he wants to build a tunnel beneath it to lead the foxes, if the house is ever hit, to a safer location to ensure that they're not scattered as they were previously and ... he's going to need some help.)
i only know leo is capable of being a blacksmith/forging stuff, so you'll have to educate me here! because luke will approach leo after he's all healed up etc to see how he is since george and martha would've confirmed that, yeah, that's charles' step-bro, and later approach him in may about this whole house design thing. (plus, you know, this will be an in so he can make it up to beckendorf and keep an eye on his bro.)
if leo ever wants anything in return, luke will gladly thieve/trade/do business/send his cows on little quests to hunt stuff for him. he has a head for business and politics and he wouldn't be against going the extra mile to help a bro out.
no subject
currently leo is about to start an internship with the dwarves of cothromach to better his magic in forging but in general weapons are still totally on the table. his personal mission is making bombs but you know w/e luke wants is cool and he'll do it.
as of yet all leo would really want in return is an alternate form of communication than the lockets if that's doable... also tell him about his dead bro pls he knows nothing about beckendorf except that he was a badass.
no subject
how long is leo in cothromach? just so i know when to either contact him or not when he's there -- i imagine hitting him up when he's with grumpy and sleepy is better than when he isn't? luke will gladly test any of his weapons or just use them. he'll pimp your stuff out while in battle. "like my fancy sword? you can go get one from leo's 'smith! /stab."
right now, all he can offer is his animals to give out messages until he learns how to create the next best thing. (his cows gossip quite a bit and george and martha can easily contact leo via telepathy -- and can talk to anyone, demigod or not, so they'll happily pass on messages for him and also add in a few "leo wants a rat" as well.). what he can do is do any security type things for him ala putting a good lock on his suite or any of his sacred diaries where he writes in his margins leo castellan. or stealing him some flowers to give him as a thank you note for his help. (and to apologise for that mental scarring george and martha did).
BUT PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A LOT OF HEADCANON. charles was a great guy -- and if leo's around in august, he should come over to loch noa when i figure out a good ic date for luke's funeral thing. he might get some good charles related goss from that (or after).
no subject
he'll be in cothromach most of the time skip starting in early may! until then he'll be busy at the station doing Important Research and accidentally setting stuff on fire because harp music is dumb. the apprenticeship will be officially starting in may but no one can control valdez so he can definitely get away to help luke out if necessary! and he'll be learning how to better use magic in forging too so you might get some magical blades, castellan. use them well.
that's cool! he doesn't really count favors for friends and i'm hoping he and luke might be, given time.
HEADCANON IS ACCEPTABLE. leo isn't a huge fan of sad stuff, but if he hears what it's about he might swing by the funeral.
no subject
omg
i didn't want to mess anything up with cothromach since i know some cities are going into lockdown (but i cannot remember which ones ...) but as long as leo gets into trouble! (since that's the hermes way -- getting into trouble!) he'll gladly take your blades as long as you're gentle with him, mr valdez. and it's good we've had them cross paths a few times, since i'm sure they'll be buds! george and martha won't leave leo alone, even if they weren't, and luke can admire a dude who flings a chain around. i'm sure martha and luke will check up on leo to see how he's doing in early march.
i'm sure he will hear about it! if one of the girls doesn't get to him, george and martha will let him know without, you know, any of the stuff he thinks he overheard before coming from his suite.
no subject
sounds like a plan. he'll be there.
