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!)

It had been a long time since Sasuke had had the dubious luxury of downtime during a mission, but there it was: their hands were tied until their undercover agent returned with further information. He and the remaining the specialist on the team had ended up splitting up for the week, each taking a different section of town to scope out in case they ended up needing to do any infiltration and quick escapes.

He wasn't undercover, not technically, but Sasuke saw no particular reason to invite comment either -- he'd left his Konoha forehead protector tucked into an inner pocket of his vest, striding through a village that seemed well-accustomed to shinobi uniforms.

If he stopped now and again to look at interesting weapons stalls and tea stands, well -- it counted as scoping out the area, probably.

He remembered this Uchiha. He'd been present during the mess that had led to him having to further injure his dear Ashiko for her safety. So of course he had to see if he remembered him back. It was the work of a moment to fall into step beside the teen, looking at the wares, outwardly, while really looking sideways at him through calculating gold eyes when he spoke. His tone was rather friendly. "They don't have the best craftsmanship here. Surely you have access to better in Konoha."
