state of the characters!

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

In an effort to keep similar things together, I've moved our state of the characters post to the therapy comm since we do an IC version of this every once in awhile and I thought keeping the OOC version here might make more sense. Of course, the therapy comm will remain your haven for all those therapeutic posts you need to make, this is just me moving this particular update here since it's not really a meme but it's not really IC either. All memes will still take place in the OOC comm, of course!

Anyway, I'm sure you all know how this works (and here's our last one) but, if you don't, it's basically a post to give the game at large an update or a summary of what's going on with each of your characters. Romances, classes, upcoming plots, things you might want to do with them in the future, crushes, people you want to thread with, etc.

Feel free to include general end of summer thoughts, plots that came together, and development that occurred over the entire course of the long, hot summer. For the newbies, feel free to describe the first few days and maybe outline what you're hoping to do! And, the familiar example:

Umbridge: Sometimes, it's hard for me to play her because she's so intensive and tiring. But, she's having fun hexing students and pissing off teachers. I'm enjoying her games of give and take with Anakin and Wade, particularly. I'd love to see her thread more with Roy. She'll be leaving soon but not before a big explosive ending.

It doesn't have to be exactly like that but that's basically the gist. Feel free to reply to each other if you have thread ideas or even plot ideas. So, go forth and share!

Karla--

Oh, Karla. She remains a blast to play. I keep throwing her into situations then sitting back and figuring out how she's going to react. The gender-swap day broke her brain and had me in stitches. There's just been so much for her to do!

She's still coping with that happened in the other world, both the good and the bad. Right now, she's worried sick that she may have jeopardized her friendship with Ender, but also still giddy from the performance last night. She's trying to get over her crush on Ben (with varying amounts of success) and is slowly starting to collect a real First Circle (even if most of those people won't come back to Kaeleer with her). We got through all of the canon available at that point (there's a two-year gap, though I'll probably move the timeline up because I want Arthur around for the unicorn slaughter) and right now, I'm having Karla experiment with what it's like to be a 15 year old girl, not a Queen, not a Healer, not a Black Widow. I mean, she still does those things, of course, but she's slooooowly starting to learn that they don't define her as a person.

Future: In addition to moving up canon plot, I have a few ideas percolating in the back of my head. I want to organize a visit for her friends to go to Kaeleer (no, not Glacia!), I want her to learn more with Ghanima, and I have a few ideas about having some nasties sent to the island to find her, but that's a while in the future.

Ooh me, me, I wanna see Kaeleer!

Want to come to Azarath? :)

[glacial_queen]

I dunno. Do I have to get blown up, too? Otherwise, Hell yeah!

[trigons_child]

No, no blowing up of the friends. Just home, which gets nom nom nom'd by daddy dearest. :D

[glacial_queen]

Oh, well, that's fine. Have at!

Oh, I forgot two things:

1) I am so looking to have Saetan and Morton here for Family Day. Though Karla plans to not let any of the boyos here near Morton. Ever.

2) I am having serious problems incorporating certain words from canon. While I can laugh (and headdesk) over 'magical cockrings omg,' I'm finding it nigh-impossible to just drop 'cock' into random conversations the way it is in canon. I've tried but it just makes me facepalm a bit, because even the few times I've been comfortable using it (like three times) I'm never sure how it'll be taken by the player on the other end.

MY CANON IS CRAZY. SHUT UP.

WTF canon? Are they sparkly? Like that fake Twilight cawk?

[future_sandworm]

Leto would be quite interested in going to Kaeleer! Also, he would probably just find it amusing if Karla started talking about cocks in his presence. ;)

Oh, Azula's very,very interested with Karla's world now. Twitchy about the sun thing but very interested.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

I'd love to go to Kaeleer. :)

Jack. Jack so wants to visit the world of Kaeleer.


It will not end badly for him in no way at all, really.
