Character name: Palamedes Sextus

General ideas or plans for the month:
- General vibes: Pal is having a time!! He is struggling with his complicated feelings about John, and very slowly realizing he has (a very different kind of) complicated feelings about Dax! Also, after spending a month mostly focused on the new surroundings, he’s back to doubling down on trying to contact what he assumes to be the spirits of former Wellstone residents, perhaps including the NPC. More on that in the event ideas!!

- Memory regains: Pal is regaining a memory of Canaan House chock full of interesting details! He’ll remember exploring the Sixth House laboratory with Gideon and Harrow, which will give him the sense that he and Cam worked closely with the Ninth. That laboratory also included some complex theorems for attaching souls to dead bodies that will seem very relevant to Well!! I’m not planning on having him do anything specific with this new knowledge immediately, but hmu if you want Pal to chat with your character about it (handwaved or played out!)

Oh, he will also learn that necromancers can kinda-sorta, in a very limited fashion, read people’s minds?

- Mistletoe: Yes plz. As always, Pal is going to take a very scientific approach to this and try to figure out how close you have to be for the compulsion to start, and what sorts of contact dispel it. As such, all kisses will be fairly chaste, but there will be lots of opportunities for them. if you’re lucky he might admit to you that oh, beeteedubs, I’ve never been kissed before.

- Walkies: While Pal continues to be cheerfully useless when it comes to the walkie talkie network project, he is close enough to both Dax and Aizawa that he is familiar with what they have going on and thinks it’s super cool. Along with hanging out and watching them do stuff, he is probably waxing euphoric to people about how smart Dax is I mean they are.

Event ideas:
Snow: Have you ever watched an adult see snow for the first time? This will be Pal in a nutshell! Undoubtably dressed in every single layer available to him and resembling a bowling ball with limbs, he is going to be full of childlike delight and obsessed with playing in the snow. Because I love making him a damsel in distress, and because he is bad at paying attention to bodily needs, opportunities abound for rescuing him.

Lads: Pal is very much Team Ill Advised Scientific Investigations Of The Lads. I don’t have any specific thoughts beyond that, except that hilarity should ensue.

Aurora: YES I WANT IT. Two separate, but combinable, things I want to do here:
- Memory voices: Look, The Locked Tomb is chock full of delicious one-liners, and I want to use this prompt to make Pal hear as many as possible. Possibilities include: Kill us both, shame on God; Palamedes, what do you find sexy?/Those little outfits nurses wear; I wouldn’t have left you alone for 27 hours/Of course not, I’d be dead; I cannot imagine the type of mind that would hold on to that edge, and keep holding./I do, and it scares me; The Master Warden found the idea of dying inconvenient. JUST TO NAME A FEW.
- Walkie talkie voices: Pal and Cecelia are going to be doing a seance that will be interrupted by walkie voices!!! I am planning to also have a “setting up for the seance” open prompt that I’d love to use for any and all aurora or ghost-related conversations.

Are you planning to create a log this month? Yep!
