dressingrooms | Disorient Express AU Brainstorming

Welcome, dear players, to Grief Street! You've joined us for tonight's episode, The Disorient Express, a murder mystery aboard a train with secrets and inter-character drama galore.

Given the nature of the game and application, we've provided a collaborative space for you to brainstorm with your fellow players about your AU'd characters. This is where you'll be able to figure out who they are, what they're doing here, and also what relationships they might have to other characters on the train. Relationships can be as simple as "Character A and Character B are gossip buddies", or as spicy as "Character A is having an affair with Character B and is plotting to help kill their spouse". Have fun with it!

Remember to be respectful of each other's ideas! If you have any questions or want to talk about something you want to keep secret, feel free to reach out at

wolfnoir or on Discord at wolfnoir#4990.

Player Name: That's you!
Character Name: You can also add their AU name here, if you're changing their name.
Canon: If they have one, that is.

Age: How old is your character?
Occupation: Describe what they do for a living!
Appearance: A brief visual description of your character, if you're changing the way they look/dress/etc.

About: Write a few sentences about your character's AU. This doesn't have to be finalized in the slightest, but it'll help give people an idea of what your character's vibes are! It can be in paragraph or bullet point form--whatever gets the point across.

Looking For: What sort of established relationships are you looking for? Family, friends, enemies, rivals, etc? You may also want to discuss are potential relationship hooks (occupation, country of origin, habits, etc) to help others collaborate with you. You're also encouraged to integrate other player characters into your own character's secrets!

Additional Notes: Anything else you want to put down!

Player Name: Icki
Character Name: Fleabag (*I am not sure about an AU name! I think I would like to keep her as Fleabag because she's technically an unnamed protagonist in the source material).
Canon: Fleabag

Age: 32
Occupation: Cafe Owner
Appearance: Standing at 5'10" in her rattiest ballet flats, Fleabag is a slender, lanky woman with a bobbed haircut and a birthmark hidden under her sideswept bangs. She is almost always in a simple Parisian inspired ensemble, with red lipstick stuck to her teeth and a cigarette on hand.

About: Thanks to being from a close to real world canon, I'm pretty sure I'll be pulling her directly from the events mid season one of Fleabag with little changes!

*Fleabag is the owner of a struggling guinea pig-themed cafe that she opened with her friend who is no longer alive, and she lost her mother two or three years prior to the game. She is still grieving these losses in addition to her own cynical uncertainty regarding her future, and uses a variety of coping mechanisms to distract herself from the emptiness inside of her.

*That coping mechanism is sex. Also alcohol and cigarettes, but mostly sex. She is canonically bisexual though!!! Um, if that's any consolation...

*She has a strained relationship with her remaining family members- Her father is distant and is dating the most viciously passive aggressive woman one could possibly imagine, and her sister is a successful lawyer with an asshole of a husband who Fleabag despises.

*Fleabag is quick-witted, sharp, and willfully outrageous- She is always trying to weasel a laugh out of everyone and seems to somehow end up in the most ridiculous of situations, mostly due to her own poor choices.

*Despite seeming friendly, and even flirtatious, she's rather manipulative and isn't above leading others on for the sake of her own malicious entertainment.

*She frequently refers to herself as a "bad feminist," and is even quoted wondering if she would care so much about womens' rights if she was blessed with bigger tits.

Looking For: Fleabag is Very British, specifically a posh Londoner from an upper middle class family, and she is absolutely running her cafe into the ground so honestly! She is probably looking for a reliable loan. As of current, she has no friends and is pretty lonely, being the black sheep of her family and all!

Additional Notes: plz help me keep fleabag from plowing through the train's of age potential hookups

i swear it's not good please watch the show I'M NOT EXAGGERATING,,, SHE IS MAXIMUM HORNY??? PLZ HELP

no thots yet but how funny would it be if every time someone tried to reference fleabag's name it just got conveniently obscured somehow

YES!!!! I AM ALL FOR IT, I WAS ACTUALLY GONNA PM U ABOUT THIS LAKSJFSAJDF

PLEASE. IT'LL BE FUNNY

Kotoko could be a cafe regular maybe? She's too young to be in hookup range I think but she would love any and all gossip she could weasel out of Fleabag! And/or egging her on because it would be entertaining to her personally

HONESTLY she needs customers and I think in her canon fleabag has zero relationships with younger women which makes me so sad!!!! BUT WE CAN HAVE THIS

YESSS PERFECT!! please keep her away from the civilized customers and there can be no negative consequences. she's probably in all the time with a book she's not reading, wanting to vent about her nonexistent love life.

artemy thrives around """"unpleasant"""" women (in quotes because i love them and so does he), so i can see already the mean girl besties vibe of him and fleabag omg. they may not have met each other prior, but they could always be attached at the hip as the chaos+serious comedy duo LMAOO

she needs someone to verbally dunk on others with tbh

This is super late, but I was thinking Laerryn might be a customer to Fleabag's cafe? Maybe it's near Laerryn's office. Perhaps she's someone who has so far totally been ignorant to any advances as she swoops in and out with her coffee or is just 'That Bitch again' to Fleabag since Laerryn can be snappish and doesn't hesitate to ream someone she sees as incompetent. I find these both equally hilarious. It would probably have been a few years since they'd seen each other if that strikes your fancy somehow!

ANY OF THESE OPTIONS SOUNDS FUN but if Laerryn is gonna be That Customer please note that Fleabag will have an unnecessarily detailed mental list of all the slight mannerisms and habits Laerryn have that piss her off- Which to be fair, could make for hilarious CR!

That's fine with me hahahaha I would find it especially hilarious that Fleabag hates her and Laerryn just totally forgot about them ever interacting. Add to that elves like Laerryn are just stupidly aesthetic and graceful and Fleabag over here like 'this nasty slag' is kinda peak comedy.

she would probably hate laerryn for being so graceful tbh bc... fleabag is pretty clumsy and kind of gross (like her name implies AKSDJF)

this sounds perfect to me!!!

FLEABAG YOUR GUINEA PIGS...........

Icki I feel like we have played together a long time ago but it's been so long I no longer remember where. NEVERTHELESS I AM EXCITED TO PLAY TOGETHER AGAIN AND TY FOR THE INVITE AS WELL I APPRECIATE IT. ☆☆

Also am I reading it right that Fleabag is from London, not sure they would have met before TRAIN TIME but I feel like Hu Tao would make a problematic remark about the ephemerality of guinea pigs. Or something. :D
