[OOC] State of Union? Ish?
Echo
►Until someone can tell me otherwise I think I'm fairing pretty well with her voice-wise! Oh, maybe I should get it out that I'm quite nervous about tagging these awesome castmates I always squeal about in this section... It's probably because I still have that freshmeat feeling in this cast... OSNAP ECHO HASN'T EVEN MET WITH GIL IN CAMP YET!! And I've had so many chances to! WAY2GO, ME.
By the way: for Christmas, Switzerland gave Echo a Swiss knife and Kuroyuri gave Noise a used knife. I just had to point the subtle hilarity of both personalities receiving knives (well, I think it's funny). :')
Sakuya
►I'll go ahead and be (somewhat) blunt: I don't feel her much anymore. Or, at least, I feel much less out of tune with her than I do my other characters. I'd hate to be one of those people who whine because lack of certain castmates, but if Sakuya had a Remilia in camp it'd be a little better. Anywaaaay, I don't have an urge to drop her any time soon. I'll give Sakuya at least another half a year or something. Not that I'm setting a timer and counting down the months or anything. And if by then I decide to drop her I think I'd just app another Touhou character to fill the hole, to be honest. TOUHOU CAST WILL NEVER GET RID OF ME FOR GOOD, EVER. I mean, I LOVE HER LOTS AND PLAYING HER IS HELLA FUN, but sometimes it feels like the same old day-in and day-out. Even when it's actually not. I just don't get her out enough anymore. ~Siiiiiiiiigh accordian~ Gotta work on that.
Lance
►I'm STILL in that state of "I can't believe I'm playing Bishop Lance on the interwebs ahhhhhh~" from when I apped him back in July. (I feel icky for jumping from depressing things about Sakuya to "OH YAY" about Lance. That hurt a little bit.) With him I feel like I could play him sleepless and still be kinda spot-on. Not that I want to try this, but you know what I mean, I'M CONFIDENT WITH HIS VOICE. \o/
Something I noticed is that I really suck at playing him in certain types of CFUW games. It's mostly due on part to my attention span and my lack of confidence in myself as a player. I skipped opportunities (because I felt awkward and thought "Well, this person will hop to it and I know I'd just get in their way") and sat most things out. Even socializing, because I felt so out of the loop with everything going on. IF THIS WERE REALLY LANCE he would have jumped at every opportunity to help someone out and tried to figure out clues on the double. Unfortunately, I'm not confident enough to be assertive in those ways... that, and he's too smart for me to play most of the time. This doesn't hold me back from still playing him though. I just need to work on things. :Liechtenstein
►I feel more comfortable with her than I did before. Back then she was on the top of "If I had to drop my characters one-by-one who would be first" list, but not anymore. She's sweet and polite and kind and cuuuuute. Surprisingly, she is super easy to play off less than fifteen icons, which is one thing I love about playing her (I need to finish Switzerland's icons here soon :x).
Hifumi
►I don't play him as much as I should! He's so sociable and talkative. Why haven't I been playing him as much? He needs to make some ~friends~ and bug people more. He so needs people to gossip with/about. And maybe he should try to barter more things off people (just as long as these things were eccentric and cool).
ALSO: If you have any shy/quiet/unsociable characters HIFUMI IS YOUR GUY. No, I'm serious, he'll try to get them talking. When that doesn't work he'll just get annoyed with their silence and eventually try to drag them to a bar OR SOMEWHERE HE THINKS IS FUN, idk. Anyway, this guy doesn't give up unless, like, there is no progress whatsoever... but he'd still bother them just because. :>
Poseidon
►GOD, I LOVE THIS STUPID GOD OF THE SEA... Oh, I just noticed that the further down the list I go, the less they're played. Sob. Anywaaaaaay, I don't have much else to say aside from that and PLAY HIM MORE!!!!11
Okita
►Just to put it out there: I did not app Okita only to play with Kagura (not that it hasn't been fun). That may be what I've been doing recently, but that was mostly so I could get out of my ~nervous shell extreme~ with him. Recently, I've noticed that I've been a little more confident with making responses! And not as slow! Too bad I still have my moments... A-Anyway, I intend to throw Okita out in posts for super real pretty soon and being horrible with him whenever I get the chance, so yay for that. ;w;d
Annnnnnd as uncomfortable as I might sorta be with playing him, I don't have any urge to drop him whatsoever. ♪
Me
UH, GEE, LET'S SEE.
► Stop being a flake. Pick up threads, damn it! I just discovered the magic called COLOURFUL STARS AND LABELS. I need to use them!
► Log activity in a post. This helps me to pick up threads and keep tabs on who I need to get out. Super helpful. I noticed that my activity was nice when I logged... that was back in September. Um.
► What happened to tagging some people? Seriously now, saying this then not doing it? It's all talk, no walk. It's like not keeping my word.
► Get a decent sleeping schedule and take care of yourself properly. It's screwing with you. Going to bed late then waking up in the middle of the day only to deal with constant headaches is so uncool. Besides OBVIOUSLY fucking with my life, it's going as far as to affect RP, too. :(
► Canon-review more often or something, 'cause, you know, skipping out on that totally helps a lot. Totally.
I just really need to stop carrying my procrastination habits over to RP. It's bad enough I do everything else at the last minute; it's not going to help if I go "OH I CAN TAG BACK LATER~~~~" just because I don't have a supposed 'deadline.' I don't think people take kindly to having to tell me to tag, or waiting forever for a tag, or not getting one period. By the way, I don't do this because I devalue someone/their character or don't have any interest in playing with them, it's just a seriously bad habit of mine that I need to kick to the curb. I just wish we had sidewalks where I lived.
...h-horrible joke, ok, ok.
Also, I'm still uneasy about tagging others, but people have been saying that I should tag them! So why do I still feel silly if that's what I'm being asked of? Why am I weird like this. :(
