Mornin', folks, and I am officially Really Quite Sad about the loss of Sam Neill.

In his honour... what's your pup's favourite dinosaur? What's yours? And why?

How does your character(s) keep from getting burnt out? Or if they are burnt out, how do they recover?

Mrgh. Monday. I had a DE in mind, and of course I didn't write it down and have totally forgotten it.

Well, it's a balmy(!) 28.5*C in the office today, and this is the coolest day of the week... So how well does your pup deal with extreme heat?

(Anyone whose pup has ever been set on fire, you're welcome - if not encouraged - to respond with the relevant gifs)

What is something in your character’s mundane life that they fear or are not a fan of? I am thinking less story driven and more just how life is.

A few examples; I am not a fan of those who don’t return shopping carts to the pickup places on a regular basis or I fear/dislike how in the modern age I can just have an online friend disappear and I’d never know what happened to them.

I actually have an idea! Go me. :D

So your character has to unload some vehicle. There’s no urgency to the task, just unloading groceries or the like. Do they load up as much as they can to maybe make it one trip or do they just grab a few items and make multiple trips?

Monday DE: Revenge of the Fifth (Month)

Mrgh. Mondays.

Over on Instagram, I found this post listing the different possible lightsaber colours and the type of Jedi who uses each.

For anyone who doesn't have instagram, I have uploaded the separate images:
- Green
- Blue
- Purple
- Red
- Black (Darksaber)
- Orange
- Bronze
- Yellow
- Magenta
- Silver
- White

Which one would your pup wield and why?

For those who play Force users: How did they choose/create their lightsaber?

(I apologise: no alt-text as there's a huge amount of typing involved and I'm posting this between meetings. If you would like to play and need the alt text, DM me and I'll get it sorted ASAP.)

Afternoon folks, and happy May Day Bank Holiday!

And, equally, Happy Star Wars Day!

Following one of the themes of the day, and with a hat-tip to a certain Sir Terry Pratchett...

What union or guild would your pup be in? What would it be called? Bonus points for fun Dog Latin motto <3

What is your pup's Roman Empire? I.e. what is a subject your character can't help but think about at least once a day?

...By which I mean, of course, the only guaranteed four-day weekend.

(Happy Easter / Chag Sameach to everyone celebrating Easter or Passover!)

What was the happiest period of your pup's life, and why?

Inspired by the clocks going forwards on the weekend...

How well does your pup deal with jetlag? Do they have any tricks for coping with it?

Happy Monday! (mrgh.) And, rather more sincerely, a belated Eid Mubarak to anyone who celebrated last week <3

For no reason whatsoever :), let's say your pup has a date! They get to pick the location and/or activity.

What are they choosing? And who might they be going with?

O hay, guess who remembered about the DE for once?? (Late still counts!)

A little while ago, there was some discussion in Crackchat about getting back into playing.

If, like me, you haven't been playing recently, what do you miss about the game? What plots, stories etc. would you like to tell in the bar? Are there any new characters you'd like to bring in?

Use the comments to plan and plot -- and maybe even rope other people in too!

If your character where to shift genres what would be the one they’d do the worst in?

If the idea sparks inspiration, feel free to write a little fic.

I know it’s not my normal day but I got a great idea from some YT shorts so I’m stealing today’s:
When was the last time your character(s) felt proud of themselves? And what was it for?

Your character is an NPC in a video game.

Afternoon, folks! Several big celebrations this week, so gōngxǐ fācái/Kung Hei Fat Choi for everyone who will be celebrating Lunar New Year, and Ramadan Mubarak/Ramadan Kareem to everyone for whom Ramadan begins in a day or so!

While we're talking celebrations... what major festivities does your pup mark? How do they celebrate them?

Since I am trapped in a fairly boring training session that doesn't have a lot to do with my direct job...

How does or would your character(s) do in a training that they felt didn't really apply to them? Would the length of the training session matter?

IDK, man, it's Monday, my brain wasn't built for this.

Your pup has to do something they find very unpleasant but not actually dangerous. Do they do it as soon as possible to get it over with, do they try to get someone else to do it for them, do they put it off as long as possible, or do they do something else entirely?

(No, I am not putting off having to empty the hoover. Shush.)
