About them: Royce is kind of your classic tsundere dick. He's spent most of his life getting kicked around by his Tragic Past™ so that means he doesn't trust anybody, hates most people, and is very stubborn about being Independent. However, he's also super survival based, so it's not completely like pulling teeth getting threads out of him. He'll talk to just about anybody but his conversations tend to start practically. Like for example he's much more likely to be like "what do you have to trade" or "tell me about this thing" than "how are you?" Current plans: He's at the split tunnels at the moment! I have no idea what he's doing. Flipping squares, searching buildings, dicking around. I want him to go explore the new area past the museum but he's currently waiting on Alfie icly so. That's where he's at. Desired CR: I'd love to see him develop a few more friendships - he's capable of it. I'd also like to see him get more negative CR because that's kind of just the nature of his character. idk, hit me up with a character and I'll throw out a few possibilities on what Royce might think of them! (side note: I would also love opportunities for Royce to show that he's actually p scary if he puts his mind to it! He can be pretty menacing if he gets mad.) Not looking for: Ahhh... not looking to avoid MUCH but I really want to get past the House Elf Incident. As much as I 100% loved the whole thing happening, Royce is Very Done as far as it goes and he'll probably just shut down whatever conversation there is about it. I'M NOT LOOKING TO DODGE IC CONSEQUENCES OBVIOUSLY! But Royce is sick to death of discussing it. Other info:
WELL I MEAN he's like in the middle of the tunnels already, and it'd be pointless for him to go all the way to the museum and then come back to try and meet up with Alfie, so I'm fine with him just searching houses for now!
ALSO I JUST SAW THE REASON FOR EDIT AND I'M DYINGKDJFSD it's ok boyfriend-chan he only has eyes 4 u
YES ABSOLUTELY royce is going to probably be like "yo, i know you guys wanna explore but i'm gonna go out on my own and make sure it's not dangerous first" to which I already know both Tifa and Emily are gonna be like "uh no???" and I imagine Kesara might too?
so they can stick together and explore the split tunnels! I don't know if Kesara wants to keep going or not, but Royce is pretty insistent on staying in the area until Alfie catches up, so!
... it's a bit sad that yeah she'll go "uh no???" but her reasons would be less "don't endanger yourself" and more "I GET TO SEE EVERYTHING FIRST".
But yes! Kesara is definitely for explorering on, and definitely on the same page with Royce on waiting for Alfie (she's also waiting for Zach) so I don't think they'll conflict there. They might just, conflict a little because the kid is bossy about her expedition. Damn kid.
Also what does he want with her arm is he gonna poke it >:[
LMAO ATTA GIRL royce appreciates that reasoning tbh
Good, perfect - I also imagine Royce and Kesara might butt heads more about the expedition thing, just because Royce doesn't take orders well! So yes, exploring and bickering like children and a lot of Tifa in the background rolling her eyes
NO HE'S GONNA MAKE SURE ITS OKAY look, if he didn't get to climb things with a concussion you don't get to climb things with a messed up arm, kesara!!
Does he appreciate it enough to let her go first tho??
I am looking forward INTENSELY to this bickering and also to Kesara letting him know that no messed up arm will slow her down and if he doesn't want her to go places on her own he's welcome to let her get on his back like Zach did. And to him probably putting her in the corner on timeout for it sob.
oh my god aljsdfs if she can convince him to let her get on his back I'd laugh forever. my first instinct is that he'd protest like crazy (because touching!! DON'T TOUCH) but he could probably be convinced to see the value in doing it.
he's gonna be like nO ride on Tifa's back!! grumble grumble
GOOD c'mere, Royce will be like, "hey. hey bro. please watch all of the people you're close to proximity-wise and give me all the information you notice about them ok thanks"
omg prepare for charlie to be rly good at collecting info but not amazing at translating what's useful from what's not
for example like forty pages about watson's crazy accent and then a brief mention of ecks exchanging SD cards in the clinic but that's probably not important anyway have you heard him say "hullo" isn't that weird
I still want them to move past the stilted awkwardness into something more comfortable but I think it'll take time! Which I'm totally happy with, I just want them to keep having conversations :D.
I unfortunately don't think from Royce's end things will get any better!! That doesn't mean I'm against them having conversations because I totally am fine with them chatting here and there, I just know Royce is unlikely to change his mind about Zach - it's mostly just a personality clash!

Okay! But if you do decide you want him to move to the museum and beyond, I don't mind having Alfie go in that far, so it's all good.

He has so many stories to tell you, Alfie, c'mere
