[meme] Who Do You Want to Thread With?

[citycouncil]

Sometimes it can be difficult to know which characters might get along (or conversely, which ones might NOT get along, in an interesting and fun way). Tag in with your pups and a little bit of personal information about them, including either specific or general types of characters you might be interested in playing them off of. Other players can then comment with interest, and you can plan future playing accordingly! Also, feel free to include queued pups, if you'd like.

Tag in your pups with the following information!

<b>Name:</b> <b>Age:</b> <b>What kind of places does (or will) your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?:</b> <b>Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies?</b> <b>Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?:</b> <b>List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general):</b>

Name: Sally Bowles

About: detailed profile, tumblr tag

Age: 19, though she's unlikely to give a straight answer if asked

What kind of places does (or will) your character frequent (work, home, etc.)?:

• Work: The Nightingale, a sort of divey pseudo-burlesque club, which she is constantly in the process of leaving. She can also be found, though, actively auditioning for anything. Commercials, movies, TV shows, plays, whatever might put her somewhere people will look at her.

• Home: #25 Ocean View Apartments

• Etc. The beach, shopping, cafés, bars, clubs. Sally finds a way to poke her nose into nearly anything, except possibly a school.

Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Like Harley, Sally's particular skill is survival. She's also highly adept at denial and exceptionally charismatic. She's not a very good actress, a mediocre singer, a passable dancer, and it's really only by sheer force of will and charm that she manages to get as far as she does.

Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant?: Everything. Sally's aim is to be a star and also, secretly, way deep down in the secret part of her soul she won't tell anyone about (but it's probably kind of obvious to be honest) to be loved. My goal is just to have fun playing her and enjoy the ride. The thing about Sally is that she's genuinely as confident as she seems; at the same time, she's terribly insecure. She wants success and fame, but she's also incredibly self-destructive. Fun for the whole family!

List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or general): ANYONE. Men she can hit on, women to befriend, people who won't be able to deal with her dramatics, people who'll fall under her spell. She'd also like to request rich people specifically. Also her current friends and ex-husband.

(19 but she's old for her age?)

I would LOVE to thread Grantaire and Sally again. (He does not object to being hit on, and he will flirt back; as long as she's okay with the fact that he's also super in love with a scruffy revolutionary from the future, they'll get along just fine.) The two of them would be RIDICULOUS.

She's also somewhat close in age to Blue, who I think would be sort of non-plussed by her, and that could be fun to play off of. Especially because I think at heart they could be friends.

SHE'S JUST BORN TO BE BAD

(you have no idea how often I sing that to myself when playing her lmaoooo)

Um, yes please! She's very used to this whole flirting with cute boys who go home with other boys thing, even if she's still a little confused as to why not her, but okay, you do you. As long as everyone agrees she's hot, it's okay. I really loved what little threading we got to do before I got super derailed, so I am all about this!

And, ooh, I'd love to try her off Blue, that would be awesome. I've never read Blue's canon, but I find her really interesting and want to get to know her better, and I can see them working well. I think Sally needs some people who are non-plussed by her, and definitely girls her age. I feel like there's a lot of room in a dynamic like that to get her to eventually let down her guard a little. In canon, we only really see her with men around, but obviously her friendship with Elsie had a huge impact on her, and there's a lot to explore in how she behaves around women once she gets to know them better.

heee.

Aw, well Grantaire is attracted to the ladies as well, he just happens to (a) not know really how to define such a thing in 19th century language and (b) be smitten with his boyfriendorwhatever. But he would happily agree that she's hot! And probably be super affectionate after a drink or two. He needs more people to be rambly and OTT with.

I'd LOVE to explore that (I love Sally as a character, and I love the way you play her, and I'm grabbyhands at seeing more of her, especially her more vulnerable side), and I think Blue, with her baby-feminist leanings, might be an interesting person to just have around in her general area. And Blue needs more girls her age as friends, too.

I feel like that's the kind of relationship she had with Bobby, except they were probably more catty about it. ;)

Aww, thank you so much!! She's so iconic a character that it can be daunting sometimes, because I want to live up to that while still doing her my way, so I'm really glad you love how I'm playing her. :3 :3 And Sally around a baby-feminist would be amazing. TEACH HER, BLUE, TEACH HER

Hopefully I'll be able to write a post for her at work tonight before I go and both are welcome! And the same with Harley, if I get a chance to get to all the posts I have planned, ha.
