#qd:task

He likes hot tea, early mornings, quidditch, smart fits, fresh ink & the cliffs of Bray. He’s not hard to please, but he has a pretense about him that even he can’t shake. He’s strong-willed & hard to deter once his mind is set. He loves someone else’s wife & has never shied away from a fight that deserves an outcome & he’s yet to pen a list of regrets. If nothing else, the experience will have been useful.

Shrike - Hozier “Remember me, love, when everyone is a shrike to your sharp & glorious thorn” Rabbit Hole - Jake Mirador “Barren is the boy who longs to be elsewhere” Voyeur - Baths “I'm a bit of a mope. I'm always in the wake of the hope that you might just sit & talk a bit” Minimum - Charlie Cunningham “Keep on walking that line, the fine line between a wrong & a right” Swallow - Postcards from Mars “I swallow words when I need them the most. I swallow words & it burns down my throat” Sines - Greg Wanders “The sound of my home calling me from my solitude” Hurricane - Reuben & the Dark “Are you fearless as you wonder where her eyes go when they wander?” Chaplin Suite No. 6 - Cottonwood Firing Squad “When the devil comes knocking, with a price on my head I’m gonna sit him down & tell him son, I’m already dead” Lucerne - Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners “Oh I fervently want some time alone. No wine, no elixir, no spirits can make me whole” June - Briston Maroney “So dress up in your finer things with the smile can't hide anything & pin the flower to my chest & count the days that I've got left” Payback - Bad Child “Keep the high horses in the stable. Give me one more god damn minute. Could you last a day in my position?”

Jemma meditated on that fact, schooling her fidgeting hands into her lap and sitting as straight as she possibly could without aggravating muscles she’d beaten into submission that morning. This was just an interview. Just a bunch of canned sound bites, and charming smiles, and PR work for the team, all of which she could do in her sleep. She’d even put on foundation in the middle of the day for it, wouldn’t Lorelai be proud?

Character Development: Task Three

Please like this post if you wish to be part of a random pairing for the next event. 

Today’s task is to let us know if you’d like your character to be randomly paired with another for a thread at the upcoming Halloween Party. Please only like this if you know you’ll be able to commit time to threads and gif-chats. You have until 5:00 PM EST on October 27th to let us know if you’d like to be involved in this pairing. If you have a character on a side-blog, please comment if you want them involved as well. 

Unlike our last pairing event, we’ll be sending you some spooky prompts to go along with your threads this event! We won’t be godmoding your characters, but will give you a setting and a hook for your characters to play around with.

This task is also optional, but highly encouraged.

Character Development Task Nine!

These tasks are always are optional, but they are encouraged and participating in them will count toward your activity for the week. I’ll still be posting a challenge the day of our next game, but this is a task to complete before then.
