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!)

"... Hello," At last Adela greeted the man, glancing to him with both eyes (even if one couldn't rightly see him) as she waited for him to regard her. Just what was he doing over there? She got the impression that he was a shinobi too, and not one that would do something like this by accident. Why was he there?

It wasn't ruining her tea, but... Still, she couldn't help being a little confused by the whole thing.

He inclined his head a touch. "Milani-san." There was a pause, and he refilled his tea with steady hands before once again collecting the cup. He clearly saw no need to carry the conversation.

That had her even more stiff and on guard before, and her grip tightened on the little tea cup she held just slightly before her next carefully chosen words came, "I'm sorry, I can't recall. Have we met before?"

He'd been taking a deep breath of the scent of the tea before she spoke, and he cracked his eye open to look sideways at her, pausing with his cup halfway to his lips. "Not in the slightest." He peered at her for a beat more before finishing his motion to sip his tea.
