(reposting with no changes except: THANK YOU for commenting. I do really, really appreciate it and it's always better to have things to think about re: one's playing than to be going blind.)

I definitely want to get her interacting with more people, but given her nature that is a bit difficult. She hasn't been chasing people away quite as enthusiastically as she did before, but she still isn't exactly outgoing or socially skilled. I'm still trying to figure out how to go about getting her connected to other characters. I mean, Leon is kind of similarly antisocial and he's been at the game two IC weeks without really developping any real friends, so. Obviously, I don't really know how to get that kind of interaction when my own character doesn't really seek it out.

And her lack of normal social conditioning is also kind of what I was thinking of when I did what I did concerning the aquilas. To most people, sex is a big deal, a very emotional thing, but she's never really had that social convention ground into her like normal people have. To her it was a problem she could solve, unlike the rest of the monsters--she's not much help with those, except for pulling healing duty, because fighting really isn't her strong suit. She wasn't thinking of it as something romantic or even actually sexual, she just saw it as something she actually could do for Junpei. It had no meaning beyond that, which is why she did go there so easily.

But he insisted on assigning a lot of meaning to it, and asked her to think about it. Except she never has really had the talk--I don't think the Kirijo scientists were terribly likely to sit her down and explain the birds and the bees, except possibly in the most starkly biological terms possible--so she has no real context in which to think about it. Sex is something other people want/do, it's a major no-no in non-attachment philosophy, and it's just not something she's spent a lot of time thinking about before.

She is concerned about all the monsters, though, yes--she doesn't want to lose Junpei again. But she doesn't feel like she can do much about most of them, at this point.

I don't know if any of that helps, it's just where I was coming from on it. I do understand where you're coming from on it, too.
