Since the Sounding Board idea I put out is going quite well (thanks, Kaya Som !), here are some more thoughts bouncing around my head. Things I'm Available For:- Advisor/Mentor: Judy watches out for her crew, so she's always available as a voice of reason and source of advice to almost any character. Sir Doug is also available, and maybe more approachable, but also less reasonable.
- Authority figure: If you need a bigwig to make an appearance in a plot - or be mentioned - as approving or rejecting some idea, Judy may be a good fit. I'm happy to lend her for an appearance and a verdict, within the realm of reason.
- Letter of Rec: If your character is applying for some fancy job (that presumably they won't get, because they're staying here), or to get a graduate degree through online classes, Judy can write glowing rec letters. Sir Doug is too, for those in the sciences.
- Order!: Need anyone to go on trial? Estelle is available to be the judge.
- Just about anything: There's a reason I look at everyone else's ideas.
My Plot Ideas:- Off-Duty socialization: Judy keeps trying to show that she wants to be the crew's friend. Maybe someday, someone will believe her and have a dinner party, or a sportsball watch party (as alluded to in Isaiah Quinn 's plot ideas), or learn to cook better from Judy and Max, or go hiking on Kerelia, or something. I'm flexible.
- Parent-teacher conference: Metaphorical. I'd love to do something involving your characters' parents.
- Call Me Larry: Lawrence Eastman, 34, is Judy's eldest son and a station resident. Other than when his 3 kids (and 2 more on the way) are driving him nuts, he's a very chill guy, with a passion for most sports. He could use some friends.
- Sins of the Mother: Judy still carries with her the scars of her divorce, and desperately wants to protect 15-year-old Anna from that particular experience. When Anna does get a boyfriend, there will be drama, even if the boyfriend is everything Judy should approve of (star student, straight-laced, Jewish). Open if anyone has ideas for the boyfriend (they can break up if/when you get tired of it, as teens do).
- The Dirt Dude: If you want to appear in the gossip column, shoot me a message, and it will happen.
- Cultural Exchange: Judy will happily introduce anyone who's interested to Jewish cultural events (like holidays, or the upcoming bris for grandsons 7 and 8), and is interested in exploring her crew's (human or not) cultures.

I know we discussed the possibility of Judy & Max teaching Thea how to cook so I'd be up for that & also as willing victim for Sir Doug's gossip column as Thea & Lea.

I am planning on bringing Jov's mother to the station in the near future. She will insist on meeting Judy (and if Judy extends a dinner invitation, she will also ensure that Jov is present for it).

I know we discussed the possibility of Judy & Max teaching Thea how to cook so I'd be up for that & also as willing victim for Sir Doug's gossip column as Thea & Lea. I can see two ideas merging together. Judy and Max could have Isaiah Quinn and Thea over to learn how to make (high-effort) game day snacks, and then watch a game. I am planning on bringing Jov's mother to the station in the near future. She will insist on meeting Judy (and if Judy extends a dinner invitation, she will also ensure that Jov is present for it). Sounds like a big cluster of character torture for Jov (better hope Judy forgot about the boyfriend). I'd love to help! |

I think Greg and Lawrence could be friends! They're of a similar age, sons of IMPORTANT women, both like various sportsball games and with a kid on the way, Greg would probably enjoy picking Lawrence's brains. I'll probably have to wait for one of my current DT threads to finish but if you're into it I'd definitely be up for it. Greg needs a little expanding I think!

Lawrence's child-raising advice: 1) When you're changing them, be prepared for a second wave. 2) Find good babysitters and use them. 3) Grandparents... oh, right. Maybe grandparent - singular[fn]Lucas[/fn] - in this case. We can do it when you have time. I'll maybe have less Caldonians in my head at that point. |

Given the debacle that the Caldonian mission is shaping up to be, Judy is going to spend a while doubting herself, and even contemplating retirement. She could use:
1. A win:
Some kind of developments, whether in the form of helping one of her people, getting some new businesses on the promenade, or any kind of plot that will make her feel good at her job.
2. Someone to talk to:
Max is great and all, but he can't be Judy's only source of emotional support. She's going to need friends, and/or therapists, to talk to.

Doran's available for therapy needs.
Devra will likely be set up on the station by the time Judy gets back from Caldonia. She could ask for help getting her shop set up, and they could have lunch

She could ask for help getting her shop set up, and they could have lunch Either (or both!) of those would be excellent. It's relatively likely that Judy will only go to Doran after speaking with Felicity (and maybe - Charlie Fox - at Felicity's urging to speak to someone local), so we could start with Devra first. |

Great! We can do that after their current dinner party wraps up. |

So, in terms of plot ideas, Judy is going to be taking a trip to Earth next month. If anyone wants to set some interactions there (with a relative of your character, or whatever), that's a possibility.
And in general, Judy is still available for all your plot needs. She's always up to mentor some impressionable youngsters, especially.

The Right Honorable Pimp Hand
I'm planning to bring Estelle back soon.
For those who've forgotten, The Hon. Judge Estelle Roth is Judy's grandmother, a supercentenarian judge with short stature, no filter, and a mean backhand slap.
I'm more than happy for anyone and everyone to meet her and suffer accordingly

Deep-Fried
Hanukkah, for those who don't know, is the Jewish festival of fried foods, and it happens in December. In the year 2381, it runs from December 12th to December 20th (in 2021, by the way, it's November 28th to December 6th)
One of the great traditions of Hanukkah is inviting various friends and relatives on each of the eight nights of the holiday, to light candles and feast.
If anyone is interested, I think it could be fun to RP a candle-lighting, in the form of Judy sharing this part of her culture with some of her friends.
