The Mukuro/Chrome Bodyshare and YOU
SO. After some deliberation, Mukuro and I decided that we would enact the canonical bodyshare between Mukuro and Chrome in camp as seen in Reborn!. Obviously, this isn't something that's ... normally done, in camp, so I thought it'd probably be best to write down how this may and may not effect you when interacting with the pair of them.

(pee ess SPOILERS FOR VARIA ARC of Katekyo Hitman Reborn)
So. After the events of the previous arc, Mukuro and his cohorts, Ken and Chikusa, get thrown into the impregnable Vendicare prison. They attempt to escape (and this isn't the first time) - Mukuro is caught again, Ken and Chikusa escape. Mukuro gets thrown into the darkest depths of the prison, imprisoned seemingly underwater. Mukuro's consciousness wanders - please ask Mukuro precisely how this works if you strongly desire to know, as all you need to know that he meets Nagi - or Chrome - a girl dying from a lack of organs. He creates illusions so she can continue to live with organs and so on, and in return she gives him what can only be seen as a spiritual piggyback.
When fighting in the Varia arc, Chrome's capable of fighting on her own, but when she's overcome and is in danger of losing her life, Mukuro takes over - just pops out of her body, whap. Is he an illusion? Perhaps. But it's definitely his consciousness taking form. We plan to enact this share in camp.

Why you doing this?
To NOT bodyshare damages canonical relationships, makes it exceedingly difficult for Mukuro to canonupdate, and makes it very hard to play Chrome at all in Camp. Thus, when AJ and I were discussing it prior to my apping, it was always our favourite way of doing things.
What does this mean for me?
Well. When you're threading with me, you'll be threading with Chrome. That's how it is. And when Mukuro is manifested, you'll be threading with him. There's no overlap, and at no point will we start playing each others' characters. Sometimes Mukuro talks through Chrome without actually manifesting himself - when he's doing that, it'll be the eternalsamba journal posting and not anablemaster. So the journal name is always the person you're talking to.
What this means for you depends on whether you have a prior relationship with Mukuro in camp. If you've owned him in some way, if he's cut you to ribbons on that trident at some point, if he is particularly amused by you or particularly dislikes you etcetera, then it's likely that Chrome will know your name.
OTHER THINGS. Probably the only thing that's different for interacting with the two characters is that you're not going to be able to butt into threads that are just between them unless you're a particularly-attuned psychic. Because noted conversation between them will be in the confines of Chrome's head.
Aren't you going to KILL each other over play time?
Short answer: no. Long answer: AJ and I are like this - || - so we're cool. Mukuro shall be out and about more than he is canonically while in Chrome's body, so we'll both get to thread as much as we like. Timespace raping may occur sometimes, but due to our own timezone differences (that is, when AJ isn't inhabiting mine as she currently is) we're likely going to be just fine on the whole thing.
PLEASE HELP ME
If you think for some reason that Chrome would know exactly who you are thanks to Mukuro telling you (those characters who are not Reborn characters, that is) then leave me a comment and tell me who you are. Sob sob. ALSO please have patience with us while we're getting this underway. It's not too complicated, but I am a notorious douchebag when it comes to getting to grips with things.
Thank you. ♥
AJ IF YOU THINK I SHOULD ADD ANYTHING ELSE LET ME KNOWWW
