preparation post

This post is for out-of-character notes on things you want your character to accomplish before the next move. For continuing players: is your character making something, building something, studying something, or trying to foster a personal connection? For new players: does your character have prior experience with the rebellion, backstory with another character, or a particular skill they like to practice?

We also have a silly character quiz post and a music post, if you'd like to share some things about your character!

Meet Dar

[chomiji]

This is something I should have done earlier. Sorry for the n00b-itude.

Dar arrives on the base about a week before the party. After one day of disorientation, she makes herself a list:

1. Check out kitchen - get up to speed on appliances
2. Learn grid basics -- it's been a while since you used your implant
3. If you can't get on the ship, at least find a diagram
4. Take a look at the supplies here on base and get some idea what you'll be carrying on the ship
5. Find out specifically how to query grid about market prices for supplies when you get to another base or planet
6. Plan party menu - ask about special supply orders ASAP
    

Let's say someone greets her while she's carrying out this ambitious agenda. It could play out like this:

"Me? I'm your cook! Yeah, like that makes sense, right? All revolution soldiers need a good meal, is what I say. Plus I'll be buying supplies when we're in port, all the general stuff people use, not just food. I'm a pretty sharp dealer in the markets, let me tell you. And I can fix all sorts of little stuff around the ship, servitors too ... yeah, I used to run a couple of restaurants, one a long time ago, one just recently. Worked on every little thing on my way up."

Of course, if someone scryes her, there's that Kel signifier ... Ashhawk Feeding Young.

Her High Language is not great, she has an accent, and you might decide that she probably just doesn't have a very sophisticated vocabulary in this language ... except for food items and cooking techniques, and kitchen equipment. She doesn't sound stupid, but her word choices seem limited.
