Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Now some of these apply to other things too. You find yourself at a tourist trap You have your camera at the ready You go into souvenir shops You constantly check some form of map Your accent stands out You compare sights, customs, food, etc. to home You ask the bus driver/train conductor if the bus/train goes to your destination You plan to get lost for a day You have an itinerary with multiple big things on it You have the feeling you should be making memories You have a guidebook You find yourself on a tour You find yourself lost on local customs You use a rideshare to go what turns out to be a short distance You're staying in a hotel etc. (Prompt by Eleanor Pratt) "Tourist" by Eric.Ray .

So I got very into doing this for Rivulet so I got my other DM to help me brainstorm more of Chant's backstory and relationships. This post is mostly working on Supibosque with some help from my DM. I also worked with another player to figure out the relationship between him and Chant prior to the party forming. Also I use the first person and these spellings are subject to change. Myself Personality and backstory Gullible Since I was treated poorly by many throughout my life, when someone is nice to me I immediately believe them though deep trust is hard for me Also susceptible to peer pressure Can be a goody-two-shoes, not really in regards to law but in regards to intent Not that confident in my appearance, but I'm working on that I can't tell when someone is flirting with me most of the time in part because I don't believe they would be flirting with me Celeste helps While I deeply love Celeste, I do still appreciate a pretty face I have come to really love playing

I don't think all of these every day, but these are common early morning thoughts. I want to go back to sleep What time is it? Which day is it? What am I wearing today? Where is Hoban? What am I doing today? Where did I leave off in my podcast/audiobook? What to do items at work do I have? What can I accomplish at home today? How much do I weigh today? Lets see what notifications I have on my phone What messages did I not respond to last night? How does my hair look? I need to crack my knuckles I need to stretch (Prompt by Eleanor Pratt) "Permanent Snooze - Day 114, Year 2" by Matthew . Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) .

 For the record, I won't be typing about Big Ed (you can ask me why if you're curious).  Six days a week feels like a lot, Sumit, but maybe it's the norm? Ew I'm with Jenny, I wouldn't zipline Angela...this will go poorly Wait Angela is bringing a friend?  Omg Usman Yes, Kim and Usman should break up Oh poor Yara (I mean poor Ukraine, but right now we're focused on Yara) Gosh how do you even support someone during something like this? I love Mylah's outfit Oop we're bringing up the Kama Sutra "Make love and go to sleep" Libby, your sisters can change their minds and it's okay, but it's also okay to not change yours! How do you not see the possibility of Charlie and Andrei fighting? It's their default mode Lol it literally wasn't the first time Usman has seen you like that by your own admission Ugh I hate the term yammy Oof Jovi is about to go out of town too? Hey a couple actually meeting with a competent lawyer! I can see both

For the record, I won't be typing about Big Ed (you can ask me why if you're curious).  Getting voice lessons is a great idea, Libby! Okay I get that Libby's idea isn't original, but like...aren't all singing avenues saturated? Libby's voice is better than I expected Angela's legs are so skinny The grandkids are excited for Michael? Hey Michael! Angela...you're so unreasonable...you're explicitly flirting with that TikTok dude Honeymoon time for Jenny and Sumit! Do...do we not get to know Sumit's last name? Is them being equal bad, Kim? (apparently) Usman keeps adding wives Kim and Usman have very different ideas as to how this whole second wife thing would work Eleanor is too cute Some Romanian sounds like Italian (according to Wiki it is an Eastern Romance language) Okay...Andrei...you think you're 0% aggressive? Bilal doesn't seem to like color in their home Bilal...you picked this store Y'all should start trying if you want to hav

I'm going to describe them rather than list their names in case they want privacy. These are not in order and I'm sure I've forgotten some great teachers and professors! My lead preschool and kindergarten teacher My grade school music teacher My grade school librarian (I'm counting her, dammit) My sophomore and junior year high school English teacher My Lenape instructor (they wouldn't call her a professor since she doesn't have a PhD) My first anthropology and sociology professor All of my grade school Spanish teachers My lead first grade teacher My third and fourth grade teachers My freshman year high school math teacher My junior year high school bio teacher My college ballet instructor (I think that was his title) My sophomore year high school art teacher My grad school screenwriting professors My history of reading professor (Prompt by Emily Kleeman) "#1 Teacher Christmas ornament" by Jonathan Cutrer .

So one of my DMs has asked us to think more about flaws and backstory, so I figured I'd do it as a prompt! This time I worked on an assignment from my DM: personalities of and relationships with  religious followers of Geshtai in Goa. Some of the old notes were taken from my DM's notes and some from Googling. This was more than 15 minutes but oh well. Note that some of the notes about the gods like their preferred weapon and appearance are culturally based and not universal. Flaws I put too much trust in those who wield power within my temple’s hierarchy and my piety sometimes leads me to blindly trust those who profess faith in my god Even though I know those in the temple hierarchy are imperfect, I still put an overwhelming amount of trust in them as they raised me. This can make me blind to flaws that I would easily see in others. When I find other followers of Geshtai, I am overwhelmed with delight to find a genuine connection and, again, can become blind to flaws I like to

Had to do some research!
