DE: back in my day

[bjornwilde]

Here in California, and a lot of the Western US, we're dealing with a drought; which, let me tell you, is making me miss long showers. Inspired by this, what inconvenience (minor or major) does your character have to deal with?

Dealing with Khem Val is definitely an inconvenience for Ibani. Yes, he's useful in a fight, but she doesn't trust him not to let her get in over her head and die. Whereupon he would eat her corpse and go on to cause who knows how much havoc. And since she doesn't know what would happen to HER if she tried to kill him and the bond broke that way...she's stuck with him for the moment.

Joshua: Artie.

... but in all seriousness, the Warehouse is in the middle of friggin' nowhere which is a pain in the ass.

Helena shares most of Joshua's frustrations, along with a decided frustration with modern underwear.

Fantine and Peter are frustrated by being dead.

Valentine is bugged by the fact that she's twelve and trying to work in politics.

I knew Ellen's answer was going to be something like that. = ]

Jess: I would imagine differences in fresh fruit and veggies are the biggest thing but since I have no idea what East Coast produce is like, I can only guess that avocados aren't the same.

Hank: Living with a telepath. (Sorry Charles)

Quin: Not really an inconvenience to him but living in space means planning not only food and water store but air and waste disposal. Having to hide his identity is damned awkward at times.

Brimstone: Well, there's this whole war thing; not to mention the price he pays to give his people a chance against overwhelming odd.

Mulan: Not having a home. Not being in canon.

Andrea: Her life? Being on the fringes of every social group, whether she wished she could be part of it or not. Not being able to depend on technology since it will cut out in an hour or so.

I'm Australian so I've lived with drought most of my life. I physically can't have a shower longer than five minutes without feeling deeply guilty.

Jay is use to working in the field so he can go weeks without a shower if he needs to. But afterward, as the adopted son of a very rich man, he tends to find a five star hotel and hole up for a few days to soak.

Olivier is an army brat, use to living on the march. He does hate having to pack all his medicines and supplies so he keeps only his most necessary things. Thankfully the Bar saved him from having to give up his mother's treasured plants.

David lives very minimalist but not being able to get just the right salmon for his favourite sushi does irritate him. He's very picky about his cooking.

Clementine: Broken nails. Stupid perps. People treating her like less than the empowered, sophisticated woman that she thinks she is. Bad/skunky weed. Garcia.

Dixie: Endlessly long travel times between road shows. Being the target of men who're after her boyfriend. Dealing with her sister, which is never a pleasant notion.

Juliet: People thinking she's being unpleasant on purpose when she's just trying to do her job. Shawn, sometimes. Her own inexperience, though that's becoming less of an issue.

Pinkie Pie: Is rarely if ever inconvenienced, 'cause she does what she wants.

Eponine: Oh, hunger, the biting chill and unsanitary conditions of the slums of France, and the pangs of a love unrequited. The usual.
