Meme: Off-Screen
There's only so much of our characters' lives we can (or would even want) to play out, so we can all assume that there's a lot more going on off-screen, as it were, than happens in threads. Today's meme is for illuminating characters' day-to-day lives and sharing details that their friends, classmates, and co-workers may or may not be aware of. The questions below are a jumping off point; feel free to remove some or add more, and to ask each other questions or let them know, what do you assume about interactions between your characters? How often do they hang out? What kinds of things do they do? Or respond expanding upon someone else's answers, with details about things you think might have happened or could happen between your characters. What is their daily life like in Darrow? Feel free to use these as jumping off points for possible threads or to inspire future EPs. (Questions are addressed to the characters to avoid pronoun confusion, but may be answered from the player's perspective, whatever's easiest/most interesting for you.

Occupation: City Council staffer
Outside activities, hobbies, interests: Spending time with friends, going to clubs, flirting, generally anything that involves laughter and socializing.
Relationship status: He has a friends with benefits thing going on with an NPC who works at Tintern Abbey, but he’s basically single.
Daily activities, routines, habits: Given his job, he works pretty long hours, but when he isn’t at work, he’s often out and about with friends.
Places you can be found frequenting: Tintern Abbey, cafes near City Hall, Dimera Apartments (where he lives), anywhere his friends live.
Places you never go, if any: Can’t think of anywhere in particular, though he wouldn’t go out into the countryside without reason. He’s a city boy.
What are some personal tics, things others might notice about you in passing, whether in conversation or otherwise? Is there anything you're always (or often) wearing or carrying? Courfeyrac likes puns, hats, and arguing for fun. Anyone who talks to him for more than five minutes will probably learn all three of these things.
People seen/contacted on a regular basis: Marius, Combeferre, Grantaire, Molly Sterns
Do you check your email? How often? Do you answer your phone? Send texts? Know how it works? What, if any, other social media/networking do you use? Who was the last person you texted? While it is pretty new to him for obvious reasons, Courfeyrac loves texting. Emojis are amazing. His last text was probably sent to Marius, and it probably involved a dirty pun. He’s fine with email, but mostly considers it a Thing He Does For Work, not a social thing.
Do you still live in your assigned apartment? Who are your neighbors? What kinds of interactions do you have with them? Yep, Courfeyrac still lives in Dimera Apartments. He doesn’t currently have any immediate neighbors, but he has probably said hi to anyone who lives in the building.
Do you prefer to socialize at home? Elsewhere? Not at all? Do you interact with classmates/co-workers or keep to yourself? Courfeyrac would like to socialize with everyone, everywhere, all the time.
Likelihood you'll strike up a conversation a) with friends or b) with strangers: Look, he literally invited Marius to live with him thirty seconds after they met. HE WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND.
Go out a lot or mostly stay home? Staying home is for boring people.
What classes, if any, do you attend (or teach)? Someday he will finish his law degree, but he keeps putting it off.
What are some things about you others might not be aware of? Courfeyrac is actually super intelligent. He has an incredibly good memory and reads pretty voraciously (as long as its something he finds interesting). He’s super interested in economics, law, and political theory.
Do you get into trouble, stay far out of it, or just not get caught? hahahaha, Courfeyrac is ashamed of what a well-behaved citizen he is these days.
Favorite things about Darrow? Least favorite? Most difficult to adjust to? Democracy is great, realizing he is now part of The Establishment and not The Revolution is weird, not having all his old friends with him is terrible.
Name at least two people you should meet or get to know better. He really needs to get to know Neil and Edgar, considering their relationship with Grantaire!

Also he should DEFINITELY meet Edgar (and Neil). Maybe we could do a round robin hangout sometime? That'd be cool.

This is an excellent idea! I kinda assume they must have met in passing, but they don't really know each other. A thread would be awesome. :D
