The NPC Meme



I'm sure someone knows their names...

Welcome to the NPC meme! This meme has certain special rules and functions unlike many other memes! In this meme, the NPC journal isn't just encouraged, it's how you play. Or, at least...how someone involved in the thread does.

The premise is simple: You post your character to lure in some characters who aren't currently being played, and someone else brings in the NPC journal with their interpretation of that character. You play a thread! CR gaps filled!

Alternatively, if you have a character you might be interested in playing in the capacity of an NPC (such as a character you don't want to app, and thus put in a test drive, for one reason or another) then post a top level for that NPC.

Currently played characters may tag out only to NPC top level comments, not to each other. NPC characters could tag to anyone. However, since threads in this meme are eligible for AC (and therefore game canon), it's best for NPCs to tag current characters, rather than other NPCs.

Steps/Rules

1: Post a top level with either your character or an NPC you'd like to play for the meme (Using the NPC account!) - If you're looking for someone specific to tag you, be sure to include it in the top level somewhere so people know to bring them.

2: With your characters, tag out to NPC top-levels or wait for an NPC to tag you. With NPCs, tag out to top level 'current' character threads, or respond to characters that tag your NPC of choice.

3: Thread things that can't yet be played out, or might never be able to be played out!

4: When playing an NPC, since you'll be using the NPC account to do it, don't forget to track the thread with one of your own accounts! (If you have a paid, at least. For free accounts, it's still recommended that you track at least the entire post so you don't miss anything!)

Oh, were they civilians? Looking at them now she could see they didn't wear anything to indicate they were shinobi. Which was a shame, because she could just cast a group genjutsu on them if they were. Ah well, between the two of them they could handle three loud civilians without breaking any rules (or laws).

She sighed softly and made her way across the room, stepping into the middle of the group and...slinging the smallest one over her shoulder. That was one down, now for the other two near to her. While doing that, she spoke in a voice that wasn't so much bored and uninterested as...unruffled. Even if they were six, they weren't exactly a threat, after all, just troublesome. "If you're going to fight, you need to do it outside. You'll upset the daimyo and his wife if you destroy the flowers meant for his banquet tonight."

Perfect! And she could smack herself for not having thought of that solution herself. Sakura's statement about what the flowers were for was a bald-faced lie, of course, but the mix of a girl hauling off a grown man and the mention of the Daimyo gave her enough breathing room to finally shove the idiots apart and take the much-abused bouquet from the current possessor of it. "And just so you know, no one is getting these flowers now for anything that involves looking at them, but one of you is paying for them before you leave!"
