What's your name? Bucky Barnes
How are you feeling right now? A little off, to be honest. Got some things niggling at the back of my mind that I don't know what to do with.
What's going on for you at the present time? Work, work, work. Selling candy and sending most of the dough back home to the family.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Bucky just needs to get out way more. I need him to cultivate some more relationships before I DESTROY THEM with what's happening in the next question below.
What's coming up for you? Tentatively planning to take Bucky through canon sometime over the coming fall and winter. It's gonna be a ride, guys.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Steve, Tony, see that thing above about cultivating relationships? That means you. Everyone.

[so_hawkward]

Bucky nooooooooooooo :( :( :( :( *clings to him forever*

[whenshewasnice]

What's your name? Natalie Valentine Envy Adams
How are you feeling right now? Cynical about some things, excited about others.
What's going on for you at the present time? Her debut solo album is about to be released soon! Still dealing with the fact that the love of her life was a cheater. And also died within like five minutes of her finding that out. She's currently kinda-sorta dating her producer Gideon Graves, but it's nothing serious.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? At some point, I may want to bring her back to Fandom as a teacher to instill a ruthless kind of ambition in students. Girls in particular. But that's way off in the future.
What's coming up for you? The aforementioned album launch, which will coincide with the very last bit of canon I have left for her.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Peter, Jim, Jono, Clint, she should probs talk to Hannibal again at some point too, anyone who's interested in being a fan of hers.

[sharp_as_knives]

She should come to (one of) the wedding(s)!

[sampippy]

What's your name? Xanthippe Lannister Voorhees
How are you feeling right now? Meh.
What's going on for you at the present time? She's mostly just studying like crazy for independent classes while pretending she's totally, like, not. Because studying is for losers but if her gradepoint average tanks she's going to die.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I really want her to go out with people! She needs to awkwardly flirt and try too hard more.
What's coming up for you? Nada that's planned.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? I hate going with a cliche answer, but everyone. Girl doesn't really have a social network at all yet.

[thewrathofkaan.livejournal.com]

I liked the exchange Roscoe and Xan shared at that party that time. Spoiled rich kids who dress cute! They should hang out again. :)

[smilestopscars]

What's your name? Ezra Sagishi
How are you feeling right now? Okay? Pretending to be, anyway.
What's going on for you at the present time? Not much. Things at home have cooled down again, while his Fandom life is steadily... whatever it usually is. He's kind of gotten alienated from his friends after Kathy died, though. And he's not seeing too much of a point in making things <>too right when he's basically had one foot out the door for ages now.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? New canon but gdi that's not coming out before next year. GDI, DELAYS.
What's coming up for you? Moving his fine ass off the island for good and heading to alumnihood.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Dante, Hyacinthe, Lucille, Ada, Isabela, anyone and everyone he hasn't flirted at yet.

[electrocynic]

What's your name? Electroclash / Sarah No-Last-Name-Given
How are you feeling right now? Like having another cold beer.
What's going on for you at the present time? Nothing much. Avoiding her work and her responsibilities, for the most part.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? She should acquire more sidekicks. Come on, kids, come to Auntie Electroclash for amazingly solid life advice!
What's coming up for you? Deadpool's supposed to try and steal her office but I have been failboating, omg.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Atton, Sparks, Tony, Wade, Constantine, there really needs to be a boozy sort of club or something.

[myownface]

... I am intrigued by Booze Club and would like to subscribe to this newsletter.

[newroutines]

What's your name? Michael Lane
How are you feeling right now? Pretty decent.
What's going on for you at the present time? Trying to get Custom Designs off the ground. It's going... okay-ish. Could be better. He's also living alone in his big-ass mansion and wondering if he should do something about that.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? It's a travesty he hasn't had a proper relationship over all his years on Fandom. He also needs to get tangled up with more supernatural folks again. Come on, they usually benefit from having his everymanness around.
What's coming up for you? I need to re-watch Magic Mike XXL and evaluate whether I want to try and get Mike through it. Other than that, nothing.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Do we even have grown-up ladies that he hasn't met yet on the island? Them, if they exist. Also Allie and Navaan and Tamsin and all the usual folks. Come by the bar some time when I'm around and braining enough to post it.

[sharp_as_knives]

Does Mike do, like, intricate aquarium things? Or does he only work in wood?

[nomoresportscars]

What's your name? Jackson Whittemore
How are you feeling right now? Bored. Always.
What's going on for you at the present time? Teaching a class on awesome to a bunch of ungrateful brats.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Having friends (think Danny in canon) that he actually openly seems to like. That never happened just because he's an asshole and anyone trying to be his friend would have to be incredibly persistent and likable.
What's coming up for you? Jackson is on his way to the sunset after this term is done! He was a treat of anger and issues, but his time is done.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Anyone who wants to get on his nerves while he's still here!

[sharp_as_knives]

What's your name? Hannibal Lecter
How are you feeling right now? Generally good, specifically frustrated
What's going on for you at the present time? I am trying to get married! Still!
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I'd like to get him involved in more killing and/or just generally being ruthless, and I'd also love for him to be a therapist for folks. Not the same people.
What's coming up for you? A wedding! Or two or three.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Everyone! I love playing with pretty much everyone I ever have, and I'm always up for new folks, too. :)

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

As someone who tried multiple times to get married, I feel that Mary and Hannibal need to have a chat. She also has lots of opinions on weddings.

[imafuturist]

What's your name? Tony Stark
How are you feeling right now? A little stressed. Crushed beneath the unending and thoroughly self imposed pressure to fix things. Oh, and processing the death of a friend.
What's going on for you at the present time? Working on the armor, tracking HYDRA and Osborn's movements. And keeping an eye on Barton's Secret Thunderbolt Avengers.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? SO MUCH TRAUMA FOR MY AMUSEMENT. I always enjoy that. Tony is best when rebuilding.
What's coming up for you? So, so many plots. Which are open if anyone has an idea to toss at meeee. I love to include, but flail that I'm bugging people.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Anyone! Everyone! I love me some threads.

[sharp_as_knives]

Need therapy?

Need anybody murderated?

[crimson_sister]

What's your name? Lucille Sharpe
How are you feeling right now? Wishing the island would stop moving around, but other than that I'm fine. This place might be strange, but it's always better than a Victorian asylum. I miss my brother though.
What's going on for you at the present time? Not much, and I prefer it that way. I can focus on my music practice and reading.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Her crushes on girls, Cassandra in particular, but probably without her realizing it herself. Her experiences in the asylum. She also should get to be mean more often. I'd love to do something about her murderous side, but I'm not sure how to fit that in.
What's coming up for you? Not much planned. I'd love for Thomas to show up at PW.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? I tried to think of people and there are so many names so I'll just say everyone. Now that Kathy is gone and she more or less refuses to talk to Dante she needs to really dislike some more people.

[sharp_as_knives]

Hannibal's always up for pushing people to murder. :D

[rebelseekspizza]

What's your name? Dante Sparda
How are you feeling right now? Worried. Like shit. I dunno.
What's going on for you at the present time? Well, my vacation away from the demons is over. So there goes me ignoring my impending death. Which is fucking with some of the people I care about and I don't know what to do about it. So I'm just... winging it, as per usual.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I want to run a beach party with him and his friends before the summer's up, but otherwise, I'm going to keep on winging things until we hit canon catchup time next year. Always eager to see which ways his friendships develop, though. (Him and Anders and him and Ada and even him and Ezra have been giving me feels this semester.) And which new ones spring up.
What's coming up for you? Hopefully a while longer of not dying? Discovering who I am and getting the block taken off my powers next year, but I don't know about that.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Anders, Ada, Alana, Ezra, Ringo, Hyacinthe, Roscoe, Jono, Peridot, basically everyone in his friendship circle both close and only-just-met. I feel like I should enroll him in an Eliot class at some point because they had a fun back and forth when they first met and I've never followed up on that... but really anyone and everyone. Dude's easy as hell to play for me.

[future_sandworm]

What's your name? Leto Atreides II
How are you feeling right now? Quite well, thank you.
What's going on for you at the present time? Sparkle just came to visit, which I hope he will do again. Ghanima is home for the summer, and I selfishly wish I could ask her to stay for good, but I know Fandom needs her. Alice and Hania keep making my life happier (and more insane) than I could ever have hoped for.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? While dealing with Dune stuff in the background, I'm happy to have him just interact with people. I'm really bad at coming up with political plots, and he's a little too powerful for that to work. Some day he should end up in Fandom when it rains, that would be good for him in a painful way.
What's coming up for you? Nothing, really. Should you wish to involve him in something, let me know.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Sparkle, Ghanima, Karla. Atton. New people, both if they are likely to like him or if they would find him annoying.

[seeks_truth]

What's your name? Cassandra Pentaghast
How are you feeling right now? Irritated and also in denial.
What's going on for you at the present time? Garik is leaving in just a few weeks, Anders remains at large and his roommate is a thorn in my side. But at least Peridot was very kind in removing the dirt from my armor, so I suppose it is not all bad.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? She's going into the new year boyfriendless! Woe! So we'll see what comes from that. I'm just seeing where things go until grad, really.
What's coming up for you? Nothing specific. At least not until Dawn of the Seeker come next summer.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? The usual suspects of Garik and Lucille, but also people she hasn't spoken to in a while, such as Thorin, and I quite liked her with Peridot. And eventually the Anders thing will have to come to some kind of tense peace again, but we'll see. She's got time.

[crimson_sister]

Perhaps a conversation about poetry and novels would cheer her up?

[voiceoverdue]

What's your name? Cecil Gershwin Palmer
How are you feeling right now? Pretty good!
What's going on for you at the present time? Oh, just the usual. Hanging out while my boyfriend's trapped in a desert otherworld, consoling Foucault after we left that neon world, cleaning feathers off of everything.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I'm still trying to find his feet as an adult, honestly. I probably need to listen to some more old Night Vale to get his voice better. After that, he just needs to meet more people!
What's coming up for you? Not much; he's more a reactionary character than an actiony one.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Anyone who can either gush with him or be weirded out by him or weird him out!

[fjordicswagger]

What's your name? Tamsin
How are you feeling right now? Eh. Could be worse. Way worse.
What's going on for you at the present time? I took Jessica out on a date the once and I should probably do that again. Mostly I just don't want to see another tea party in my life.

Otherwise, mayoring.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I really would like to see her date some more, since that's outside her comfort zone. And at some point someone should PROBABLY find out about that Valkyrie thing...
What's coming up for you? Some slooow plot with Tony that'll happen whenever I get my brain scraped back together. Otherwise, I'll see.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Is there any adult she hasn't spoken to yet? She should speak to them. She also needs to hang out with the Leverage crew again (or at least Eliot), maybe scare the hell out of some people, and spend some time with the usual suspects.

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

What's your name? Mary Connell
How are you feeling right now? Lonely
What's going on for you at the present time? Trying to get out more and remember how to be social without alcohol
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Mary left behind a pretty tight-knit group of friends when she left Vegas, and a lot of the friends she made early on in Fandom have moved on. I'd like to explore a bit of how that affects her.
What's coming up for you? Not much. I don't really have any more canon to go through.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Anyone who would like to hang out!

[justlike_a_girl]

What's your name? Dani Davis
How are you feeling right now? Feisty
What's going on for you at the present time? Not much unless you count dealing with cranky horses.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Dani's established herself as a successful business owner without her family's connections, but how does she mend ties with her dad and brother? I've also wondered about having Dani resume the search for her birth mother.
What's coming up for you? Possibly getting a new horse.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? At this point, Dani will eagerly talk to anyone who walks on two legs, with an exception for Pinkie Pie.

[spin_kick_snap]

What's your name? Kathy Li
How are you feeling right now? Dead and undead, so not really feeling much of anything. If I COULD feel things, it would probably be a nauseating array of horror, guilt, grief, fear, and a vast pool of sorrow.
What's going on for you at the present time? Well, my body is wandering around eating people. That's certainly a thing that is happening. And my soul is...I'm not sure where. Or what its doing. FML. Oh, right, I don't really have one of those.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Well, there's her canon to finish up because she plays a big role in that as a zombie. And Field of Dreams, whenever that will be. And then, well...*shrugs* We'll see. I can only play this zombie thing for so long before I run out of steam.
What's coming up for you? Eating more people. The creation of the Mount. Maybe visiting a few dreams or talking to some dead people. Who knows?
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? NOBODY SHOULD MEET WITH ME. BECAUSE I WILL EAT THEM. PLEASE DON'T LET ME EAT ANYBODY ELSE.

[seveninchmotto]

What's your name? Isabelle Sophia Lightwood
How are you feeling right now? Good!
What's going on for you at the present time? Flick is in the latter half of his Shadowhunter training, and Izzy is finding it very, very exciting. She's just so proud of him, guys. So proud. She's also missing him like whoa, so she's in the process of half-moving to Idris and the city of Alicante to be closer to him. (She's also repressing things like whoa re: the possibility that attempting to Ascend into Shadowhunterhood might actually kill him. Because, no.)
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? She's another one I'd like to have teach at some point. I had half an idea for a class for this fall, in fact, but I think for RL reasons that wil have to wait until a later time.
What's coming up for you? The rest of Flick's Academy shenanigans, ending with his Ascension. After that, marriage. Lbr, they would've married as soon as they got engaged, if not for the small fact where Iz marrying a mundane would mean she'd have to give up contact with her family.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Flick <3<3<3 forever and ever. Edward, now that he's doing canon. Cade, some more. On the island, definitely Dante so she can boggle at him. And all the other Shadow World types – vampires and the like.

[geniuswithasmartphone]

What's your name? Alec Hardison, but almost nobody uses my first name.
How are you feeling right now? Not bad. Nobody tell Eliot, but all this runnin' around after tiny VR critters has actually gotten me feelin' pretty good.
What's going on for you at the present time? Not a whole lot. I'm level 35 right now an' this new update is KILLIN' me! Also, my mun has been flitting off for a month or so, so that makes it hard to do much. But the next two weeks should be good for me, at least till she goes in for surgery...
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Hardison is in a good place. He's got his crew, he's got some friends, his Nana knows about everything...He's good.
What's coming up for you? Nothing planned! Got some adventures with Tony coming up, but otherwise nothing specific!
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Eliot and Parker, always. Tony and Brooklyn Steve. Kitty. More adults!

[vrajna_kralis]

What's your name? Hyacinthe, Anasztaiza's son
How are you feeling right now? Well, I had my big blow out which helped, but then I was a pony and at this point who even knows? Still out of time, out of place and out of my depth. But I'd never show it.
What's going on for you at the present time? Flirting and fun and trying to find my footing, really. The mun's various vacations came at a terrible time for me so now I'm in a kind of limbo while she figures out just what I've been up to and how I feel about everything before I had a chance to properly settle in.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? So much and everything. How he's feeling, his interactions, how he aligns Terre D'Ange and Fandom and planet-hopping into his head. I'd like him to tell more people about his crazy world (even though I feel like he sometimes doesn't shut up about it) and just figure out his place on the island.
What's coming up for you? Making friends, finding my place on the island, and pinpointing exactly where I am in canon. There are a couple of things the mun wants to speed up so we can get to the good stuff.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Everybody! Ada, Lucille, Dante, Anders, Isabela, Ringo, Roscoe, Tip, Ezra, Xanthippe...EVERY STUDENT.

[thewrathofkaan.livejournal.com]

What's your name? Roscoe Kaan
How are you feeling right now? Meh. Bored, mostly. Things were so crazy-weird for a while and now they're just normal weird. I'm getting antsy.
What's going on for you at the present time? Making friends, flirting, exploring all the weird-ass towns we dock in. Did I mention flirting?
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? I thought it might be fun to get him a job and have him be utterly hopeless at it, but I can't decide where to stick him (or how I can make my schedule calm down long enough to commit to a day). I want him to talk more about his home life even though I sometimes feel like I'm dropping it into conversation a little bit too much. And having him go on a couple dates would be cute, even if they just lead to sex or awkwardness or awkward sex.
What's coming up for you? Eventually his dad is gonna get out of prison and Roscoe's going to have a really self-destructive rebellious phase. That'll be sometime in the fall, or once he has enough of a support system built up that people would notice him if he totally spun out.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Lots of people! Tip, Hyacinthe, Dante, Anders (they only met the once, I think?), Lucille, Isabela, Ringo, Xanthippe, Ezra (I don't think they ever met!), Jono. Anyone, really. I'm bored.

[soniaroadsqueen]

What's your name? Ringo Noyamano
How are you feeling right now? Mostly good, but not as happy and okay with things as I'm trying to appear
What's going on for you at the present time? I feel like I'm being pulled in a couple of different directions at the moment. I'm still riding, obviously, and trying to figure out how to use my new drone to film myself while doing it, which would be a lot easier if I had someone to ride with regularly. Speaking of, I'm still not totally okay with my senpai being dead. There's this big hole in my heart that I'm trying to let heal, but things keep reminding me of how much I miss her. And that, in turn, is making me think about what I should do to protect the rest of my friends. Maybe I need to be ready to fight again.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? All of the above, and a little bit more. How she tries to hard to be a "good" friend without fully understanding what she even thinks that means. How her AirTrek style has changed. Whether, and how, she's going to get back into fighting shape. How she's going to resolve all this uncertainty about what she's supposed to do for her friends and with her life. Also, she should probably try falling in love with someone who at least has the possibility of loving her back. That'd be novel.
What's coming up for you? Meeting new people, and getting to know the summer newbies better. They all seem cool, after all! Beginning to think about The Future. Not going to be a high school student forever. Maybe getting another crush. We'll see!
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Old friends: Ada, Dante, Lucille, Anders, Alluka. New friends: Tip, Roscoe, Hyacinthe. Anyone she doesn't know very well, because they'd probably be good friends, too!

[era_two_triangle]

What's your name? Peridot, Facet 2F5L, Cut 5XG
How are you feeling right now? More confused than I would care to let on. Still frustrated with my inability to completely understand my surroundings, but... getting better at it.
What's going on for you at the present time? I'm still attempting to formulate a means to contact Homeworld. Yes, I have a job here, and the beginnings of... friendships... But those are still so alien to me, and they can't last. Humans keep saying things here that are... uncomfortable. The sooner I'm back to running Kindergartens and working with tech on Homeworld, the sooner things can start making sense again.
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Honestly, I'm just fascinated with how she's loosely following the same footsteps on Fandom Island that she has in canon. I wouldn't mind upping the ante a little, but that might have to involve throwing her at some canon and pushing her through the Cluster arc.
What's coming up for you? The aforementioned canon! Probably! At some point! I still haven't worked out details yet, but I can't put it off forever, and as much as I love clunky Peridot, she's got a lot more room to grow after she hits certain beats in her canon.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? Have you ever wondered what your life would be like with an angry green alien Dorito asking you awkward questions about human emotions and anatomy? THEN BOY HOWDY HAVE I GOT SOME THREADS FOR YOU. So, basically, anybody she hasn't threaded with, and all of the people she has. All Of Them.

[furnaceface]

What's your name? Jonothon Evan Starsmore
How are you feeling right now? Honestly, more grounded than I have in quite some time. I'm actually rather waiting for the next shoe to drop.
What's going on for you at the present time? I'm taking a semester off from teaching at the school and looking to get involved in the Boards again. Wedding plans with Hannibal are... ongoing, though at this point I might have to start pestering him about eloping. Hopefully the third time's the charm?
Anything you'd like to explore with this character? Really, I can just kind of coast along with Jono forever. It's actually kind of fascinating, watching the growing gap between himself and his students, maturity-wise, as he gets older and more experienced. And this side of Jono that accepts that his life has been fifty shades of completely messed up but who keeps going regardless is new and exciting. You betcha I wanna throw as many wrenches into those gears as I possibly can to see how he copes. :D
What's coming up for you? Some return to the Boards and a bit of muddling through what going back might mean for him. A few more increasingly ludicrous attempts at marrying Hannibal. No new canon, though. He exists so far on the outskirts of X-canon that all that's really left for him is Spurrier's run of Legacy, anyway, and by all accounts, that never happened.
Who would you like to meet and/or talk with? HE NEEDS TO TALK TO ALL HIS STUDENTS. There is this fascinating rift between him and some of this current batch that I would love to poke at with sticks, and the ones that he has connected with, I'd love to have him actually talk to more. Even if he's no longer teaching at the school come fall, they're his students dammit, and he's fiercely protective of them, and aware that they're kinda going through some shit. (Meeting some more adults would be good, too. He's gotten to this strange point in his life where he doesn't have many friends his own age. Whatever age that is.)
