Hey there, everyone. I've been trying to consider what my two active bits have been up to over the past few months since the whole Covid-19 thing stuck a goodly portion of us at home. The only one that really could do anything is Caspian since he was ancillary at best. Unless Devi is still bouncing around and she and Caspian are still an item, if you want to have interaction with the guy who gave Red Hook Market constant solar power independent of Yamagato, please let me know.
Cassandra, on the other hand…she's my baby. I want to treat her nice, all things considered. Get her involved. Let her be a source of information - a benefit, rather than a hindrance. I would like her to be one of the evolved that becomes a fusion character - I like the idea of her having another ability that is tangentially based off of her ability to see the past. The obvious one is 'precognition,' but as I told Elisabeth in a chat, I don't know if Cassandra, mentally could deal with seeing the past, the present, and the future at the same time. If there's not something that really stands out, I might give Manny the choice and roll the dice to see what I get. It's always fun to see what he comes up with for characters' abilities.
This is my thought for Cassandra.
Life in general would see Cassandra actually stepping back from using her abilities. Clamping down. Putting the brakes on. With Caspar's pennies still out there, very few people have the ability to call in a favor to get her to go through the agony of reading from them, but she will because it's important. Pretty much Elisabeth is the only one who can get her to consistently see the past…well, Aurora can, too, but she knows that the girl will just want to watch Broadway shows, which is fine by Cassandra. Perhaps Eve, with promises of drinking and debauchery.
Cassandra will have gotten her own place in New York somewhere and, with the constant availability of power, and the government providing a stipend for her being dumped into this reality, I was thinking that she can go into business for herself, baking. I want her to create a small bakery on grid that people can visit. Different fresh bread every day, fresh croissants, maybe even fruit when she can get it. NPC's with jobs, learning how to bake. I like the idea of Cassandra creating something that people need, something that requires patience, timing, and a good amount of yeast and flour. It could act as a small hub to get together, and who knows? One of Caspar's pennies might make its way across the counter. It has been +requested and approved.
Other than that…I'm kind of lost on Cassandra. I know I want to her to participate in the upcoming plots, and with the world IRL slowly getting back to somewhat normal, I should be able to dip a toe in for scenes. I'd like her to find someone to date, too, but that's more social than anything.
Any suggestions?
