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.

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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[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. :)

[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.

[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.

[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.

[sharp_as_knives]

Need therapy?

Need anybody murderated?

[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.

[sharp_as_knives]

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

[sharp_as_knives]

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

[whenshewasnice]

She shall, she shall! Once her canon updates stop getting in the way, she'll be there.

[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.

[newroutines]

He'll at least try to make whatever people ask for. He works primarily with wood and metal but he's also overjoyed whenever anyone orders anything, so...

[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!

[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.

[sharp_as_knives]

Well, Jono has a frog now, and Hannibal wants to have him in a totally OTT proper habitat, so if you'd be interested, he could leave Mike a vmail about it.

[sharp_as_knives]

Hee! They totally should. (Did Mary ever manage it? I'm guessing things like "mutant hunters" weren't the problem.)

[imafuturist]

Murder would just end badly for all involved. Alas, Tony is thoroughly heroic in nature.

Therapy might be interesting! Since he's a pro at deflection.
