Daily Routine Discussion

Or "The stuff my character does every day I want to talk about, but see no point in RPing all the time" discussion.

Basically you just post about what your character's current day-to-day activities are on a normal day in the Tower and discuss them. That's pretty much it. Details like this interest me, but so rarely do we discuss them.

Some ice breakers in case people are drawing blanks on what to say:

• How well/how often does your character sleep?
• How well/how often does your character eat? What kind of foods do they prefer?
• What do they usually do first thing in the morning?
• How neat are they?
• Do they normally attend their job? If so, what do they usually do?
• What floors do they frequent? What do they do there?
• Who do they usually hang out with on a day-to-day basis?

You can put down whatever you want. This is more an excuse for people to TL;DR about their characters and talk about them. Maybe even plan out logs or something for the future. Have fun!

If anyone has questions about how this works, answer here!

7:00-7:30 AM - Wake up/brush teeth/get dressed.

7:45-8:45 AM - Rusty's "cat patrol," where he makes a circuit of the first floor dorms and affirms that they're properly marked.

9:00-9:30 AM - Breakfast; can take longer, if Rick makes his own food or meets with friends.

10:00-11:00 AM - Clear Fluid lab work, first round--just to clean up any loose ends from the late-night crowd ~~and make sure none of them died in the process~~

11:20 AM-12:45 PM - Morgue work, Tower-assigned. Depending on Rick's mood, this can be an every-other-day task (Monday/Wednesday/Friday, specifically), although now that Veronica works there he's motivated to show up more often.

1:00-1:30 PM - Lunch (see "breakfast").

2:00-3:00 PM - Workshop time, to make new cleaning tools or clothes or whatever else he needs to work on. After this meeting with chaos, though, he might make this an every-other-day activity (Mon/Wed/Fri) and start visiting the graveyard on the off days/weekend, instead.

3:00-3:45 PM - (or whenever Rick finishes with the above tasks, if he's running ahead of schedule) Afternoon nap/relaxation time. Depending on where he finds himself/what the weather's like, oscillates between the Meadow and any one of the lounges or recreational areas (anywhere his powers still work, that is).

4:00-6:00 PM - Clear Fluid lab work, second round--more involved cleaning and note-taking, since this is when the others tend to appear or have already appeared earlier in the day.

6:20-7:30 PM - Dinner (see "breakfast" and "lunch," addendum that Rick almost always makes a hardy meal when the ingredients are available, and often for multiple people).

8:00-8:45 PM - Shower/pajamas/brush teeth.

9:00 PM - Sleep. Very soundly.

Rick's day-to-day is about as rigorous as he can possibly make it, save random events and meetings and such. It's kind of eerie how precisely he keeps a schedule in a place like this. .__.

Weekends are slightly different; Rick's still in the habit of taking Saturdays and Sundays off from work, so he'll forgo his Tower job (and spend less time on other jobs, such as collar fluid research) in favor of catching up with people he's met and relaxing in general, which typically means longer naps and letting his other forms romp around where they like. In that regard, Mittens and Laurence prefer the meadow, while the Dinosaur is starting to develop an odd taste for the fish in the aquarium on floor 10.

Nesir sleeps well but not for long, she usually grabs about four hours of sleep a night, though if events are happening/things are worse than usual she might sleep longer just to avoid it.

She wakes up early and eats, she likes sweet food above anything but will eat anything. She doesn't dally unless she sees someone she actually likes in which case she talks to them.

She then goes to her job; garbage collector, she does this as quickly as she can, especially the throwing into the incinerator bit. She avoids Ryoji like the plague.

She then trains, daggers and more lately archery. If she doesn't want to kill everything after that she might do some studying, if not she goes and kills monsters. She frequents dangerous floors, avoids anything too cold and anything on fire (if she has to chose she goes glacier instead of volcano)

If she remembers she eats lunch, but she often doesn't. She tends to troll Richtofen often, and sees Ganondorf every few days. She avoids Sephiroth even more than she avoids Ryoji. She will always stop to talk to Lancelot if she sees him.

If she is bored and Jade is around she flops in her room and trolls her too.

Her room still has the hearts of Lotte and Ral in pride of place on her bedside table. Apart from that she is very neat except when she decides she is sick of temple training and messes stuff up on purpose.

She tends to fight monsters long into the night, eating dinner early before going off to do so, usually falling into bed at about 3am.

Romeo wakes up early unless he's sad and really awful things happen in which case it can be hard to pry him out of bed. But he will try, because keeping spirits up is important!

He says hi to all his roommates and is obnoxiously chearful. He is also very neat for a thirteen year old and always makes his bed before rushing off to have adventures. He eats breakfast if there is food and then goes to his job as a janitor.

That takes most the morning and he can often be heard singing as he cleans. He eats lunch after that, looking for his friends and making sure they are all still there. In the afternoon he usually goes on an adventure, to meet new friends or explore a floor, lately to practice fighting on smaller monsters. If he is having a quieter day he will go to the library or sit in his room and work on his book.

All plans will always be put aside to help anyone in need.

Dinner is much like lunch and he is usually in his room by dark, except a few nights a week where he has started staying out late to train. He sleeps mostly well but often has nightmares which he solves by either reading or crawling into Zett or Gamzee's bed.

Taiki tends to sleep a lot, especially when he is ill. Some days he can't get out of bed at all and so spends them curled up with Sanshi reading or drawing ~~or crying~~

When he can though he goes out because he likes seeing people and misses his friends. He tends to eat in the kitchens because he has to make up most of his meals to make sure there is no meat/dairy stuff in there. Mostly he lives off fruit.

He has a job (window washer) which he does when he is well enough too. He is also on the collar liquid teams as a mover and so most of his day is taken with that. He is unobtrusive and can probably go unnoticed until needed.

He is also learning to make clothes so will begin spending some time in the workshop each day.

Lunch tends to be fruit that hes taken with him, though he goes back to the cafeteria for dinner and if he feels up to it he sits with people.

He has nightmares a lot and his sleep is fitfull, he spends his night curled around Gohran and Sanshi

Sephiroth refuses to allow himself to have very much of a routine as such things make it easier for his retrieval unit stalker to know where to be at any given time. He tries to go about his activities at random times, on purpose.

That being said, there are routine things that cannot be avoided. He does sleep every night as any lethargy is a weakness. He's an early riser and a stop-out to boot, preferring to pit himself against the monsters, on particularly monster-prone floors, in order to settle his over-active brain. The Infirmary is frequented for sterilizing any wound he takes that might prove problematic before letting his regenerative powers take over.

Despite knowing that physically he's only wire frame and film, Sephiroth still showers three times daily and still frequents the Gymnasium. In fact recently he's extended this to a few laps in the Pool as well.

Study room, Research Library and other science!associated floors are visited whenever there is Team Violet Liquid work to be done. As are the quieter Lounge floors for reading purposes as well. The lower Library for network-monitoring tends to be a late-afternoon thing.

5th floor gazing at his homeworld-for-hours happens as well, too-often really for it to be healthy. Forgetting where he's come from, and his innate connection with that world is dangerous for one who clings so death-grip like to his identity.

Capell spends most of his days getting lost. He is still new and has no idea where he is going. He tends to talk to people when he can, trying to learn more about this place. Mostly he frequents his own room, the cafeteria and the circus floor where he works. He misses his friends from home a lot and is a little lost without them.

He has also found a fondness of the meadow where he can be found playing his flute and thinking, monster hunting also happens if he is out after dark. He doesn't sleep too well, mostly lying awake and sometimes sneaks out to find a relatively safe place to play his flute then too.

Sam sleeps soundly, though he is usually up quite early. He works in the kitchens so is usually there before most people, cooking, setting up, eating, tidying. He usually stays in the kitchen, either trying out new recipies if there is food or talking to those who come in.

He often also goes up to the library or explores some of the safer floors, coming back to work at mealtimes. He also likes any outdoor floors and gardens, and is currently working on getting things to grow on the farmland floor.

He is usually in his room before dark hits, to avoid monsters though he is usually doing something, and not sleeping straight away.

Shion can mostly be found with his nose in a book. He wakes early, usually remembers to grab breakfast and heads to the library. He works there in the morning, organising books and helping people. If he has quieter moments he writes things down, about the tower and the people he meets.

He doesn't eat any more meals unless someone forcibly pries him away and makes him. After his work in the library he does collar fluid research, and can be at it for hours. He usually tries to find an hour or so a day to practice fighting as well, sometimes leaving that until it is dark and monsters attack ~~if he calls it practice he feels less stupid about not getting to safety before night~~

He makes sure to check on Xion, Reno and Elena each day but mostly even as he is walking from floor to floor he is reading. Or writing, or trying to.

He either sleeps in Xion's bed or she sleeps in his. On the rare nights he is alone he doesn't really sleep because of nightmares and stays up late into the night writing things down.

Suzaku usually sleeps only when he needs to and avoids his room a lot. Though he is trying for the sake of not making Shinji worried. He tends to grab food and eat on the go, he doesn't really care what it is as long as it is filling. He works as a ball pit cleaner and works effectively, talking to his coworkers if they talk to him first.

He is also working on the collar fluid and turns up promptly, does his best not to shout at Jin and tries not to be too creeped out by Richtofen.

When he is not working he tries to find quiet floors where he can ~~angst~~ train. He makes sure to check up on Rolo and Diarmuid once a day though he doesn't always approach or speak to them unless spotted.

He fights monsters into the night.

First thing in the morning Lucifel does is fixing his hair. On a good day he needs less than an hour to do so.

Sleep... I'd say 7h at least, on a peaceful Tower day. Sleep had been a new thing to him and unnecessary until he got here, by now it's... as okay as it could be here.

Same goes for eating. There's nothing like a favorite food to him at the moment. However, he hates the nutrition bars. And the oatmeal, he's glad he only had to eat it once.

Unlike certain others from his world *cough*Enoch*cough* he's neat. Really, if one has seen the mountains of chaos which are books the scribe stocked up through time everyone would appear neat.

He usually attends his job, I'd guess the only exception are emergencies. Circus performing... and staying away from clowns. More because he's got nothing better to do rather than because he HAS to.

Floor 81 has become one of those he spends some time at. If not there then he's here and there... sometimes at the terminals, trolling others anonymously.

Who does he hang out with? Enoch, that's a given. Lately he found himself interacting with others more, on a friendly basis, not trolling unless the situation is begging for it. If only for distraction purposes at the beginning.

England tends to wake up at the asscrack of dawn, so usually between 5 and 6 AM. He and America usually get ready together in the morning, barring unusual circumstances (one of them sleeping in, or America getting hurt and wanting to hide it from England). He showers, brushes his teeth, combs his hair, and dresses nicely every morning. He likes to take long showers, but his time has been cut down since coming to the Tower -- it's usually more like a half-hour than a full hour now.

He has oatmeal for breakfast almost every day, unless he feels like chancing the more exciting foods; he hasn't been so enthusiastic about the cafeteria food since the month that they got a bunch of poisonous stuff. If the cafeteria has tea, he has that with basically every meal. He usually takes a few nutrition bars to carry with him in case he ends up with a long walk to anywhere. He always makes sure to have his knife and magic wand with him, no matter where he goes.

He can often be found in the libraries (3 and 19), the workshops (15 and 51), the meadows (25 and 86), the music room (28), the farm (33), the graveyard (48), the sauna (77), the mailroom (78), and the hanging gardens (101). He generally prefers to stay away from the aquatic floors.

He works in the libraries, and generally prefers the third floor library to the nineteenth floor library, so he can be found in either one at least twice a week. He knows just about where everything is on the third floor library and can usually point people in the right direction on the nineteenth, as well. He spends a lot of his time re-shelving and organising the books, since there's no checkout system. He also tries to make sure the rolling ladders are as safe as they can be, since they have a tendency to get stuck or fall backwards off the tracks; if he sees someone using one of them, he'll offer to hold the bottom of the ladder. When there's nothing to do, he bums around on the network, lurking.

He visits the workshops at least once a month -- the fifteenth floor for fabric, and the fifty-first to sew it all together -- so that he can keep his wardrobe reasonable. If his clothes suffer a particularly destructive month, or if he has nothing else to do, he'll go more than once a month. He knows what he's doing in regards to sewing, so he'll probably offer to help anyone who looks really lost. Occasionally he makes little trinkets on the fifteenth floor. He also uses the fifteenth floor to make arrows for his crossbow. He tries to make a lot at once, so he doesn't have to do it too often.

Sometimes he takes tea in the meadow on the twenty-fifth floor, and if he's taken America out to play, this is where they usually go. Sometimes he just takes a book or his embroidery and sits for a while. This floor is usually visited once every two weeks. He tries to stop by the eighty-sixth floor at least once a day when events aren't happening. Flying Mint Bunny accompanies him to this floor. In one of the fairy rings is a tiny grave marker; England leaves the trinkets that he makes in the workshop there, one for each day. If the cafeteria has sweet food, he may leave that there in place of the tiny treasures.

The music room is every few weeks, usually. He tends to just plop down with one of the amplifiers on the floor to play his bass guitar. He plays a lot of British Invasion rock music, though often it's just the bass line or some light covering. He mostly keeps to himself on this floor.

England maintains a small garden on the thirty-third floor -- or, he tries, anyway. It's a little difficult with the events and the weather throwing wrenches in things, but he checks up on it every day, regardless. He pays special attention to the roses. When the flowers survive, he often picks them for pressing. Some of them actually end up in the library books, as he'll take out a book to put the flower in, which then disappears to its place back on the shelf.

The graveyard is another daily routine. He visits every nation grave and leaves flowers, if he has them -- usually that particular nation's national flower. Though he's sometimes lacking in other flowers, England nearly always has roses to give. He's not likely to interrupt anyone here, either, unless he's fairly close to them.

He keeps some of the flowers in the lockers of the sauna room on the seventy-seventh floor, as he doesn't want to risk America going through his trunk and accidentally destroying them, since they tend to be fragile. He stops by the lockers once a week or every two weeks, but he doesn't stick around for long. In contrast, he checks his mailbox on the seventy-eighth floor every day.

His trips to the hundred-and-first floor resemble his trips to the meadow on the twenty-fifth, but he doesn't bring America to this floor as often. Mostly he admires the plant life or just takes some relaxation time. This floor gets stopped by at least once a week; he comes to it more often, since it's so close to the dormitories.

America is who he's seen with most often; it's not unusual for him to bring America to the above floors, save for the graveyard. He isn't always with America, but he does like to know where America is most of the time. He also has made a habit of checking up on his close CR in the evenings before it gets dark -- France, Zelda, fem!Link, April Sinclair, Taiki, and Jade Strider would get to deal with these visits. Mostly he just tries to keep up with what they've been doing, asks if they have any plans to go out during the night, and wishes them a good sleep. Recently, Sealand also appeared in the Tower, so England will be trying to keep an eye on him, too. And sometimes England just decides he wants to spend time with someone, so he'll seek them out on the floors they usually visit. But only sometimes.

England tries not to go out at night if he doesn't have to. It's not uncommon, as he tends to get worried when America isn't back in one of their dorms by nightfall and will go looking for him after a while. In addition to his knife and wand, England brings his crossbow and arrows with him when he ventures out into the Tower at night. Despite being armed, if England encounters a monster when he's alone, he's more likely to run than try to fight it.

England is often awake late into the night even when he's not out making sure America isn't getting himself maimed. He spends a lot of this time holed up in his room reading or embroidering. He doesn't sleep much, mostly because his paranoia about the Tower is worst during the night, and he often has nightmares when he does sleep. He's quiet when he has bad dreams, though, so at least his roommates don't have to worry about being woken up by screaming! That said, England doesn't sleep in his room every night. Once a week, he goes to America's room to sleep, but usually he brings America into his dorm, instead. He's going to have to change this routine a little to accommodate Sealand eventually, too.

SLEEP, RINSE, REPEAT.
