get up on this.

[idkmybffnirvash]

ALRIGHT, I CAVE. But I made it five months, so there. Also, Takanari hit 20k, Eureka hit 1k, etc. Naturally, this is for Takanari, Kino, Akito, Ys/Yuca, and Eureka, so here goes:

Eureka and baby Neji? >.>

[idkmybffnirvash]

SO, DID YOU KNOW THEY THREADED BEFORE NEJI WAS TINY? Because I didn't!

As it is . . . Eureka has a soft spot for children. They are on her level, and she works better on a whole with them. She felt bad that she confused and worried Neji, but he seemed like he was okay, by the end. So, she felt a lot better about hanging with him! Because people might not want her around their children! It's cool! She'd love to sit down and play cars or color with him. ♥

What's hilarious is that Neji was already in her good books from their previous thread. She hasn't been introducing herself except to people that she wants to keep up with, so Neji was right up there already. Eureka didn't connect the two though, because . . . Well, she doesn't know much about this people getting smaller or bigger all of a sudden yet. She sees people age on a much slower basis and has never seen little kid into a big kid yet. When she makes the connect . . . Then, she'll still want to play cars with him.

REVERSE ME TINYNIN.

So, Tonka trucks and kunai. Best baby-sitting ever.

Immortal Rain is delicious, delicious mindfuck and a whole lot of pain. I sat around for six months trying not to app into something that I adore so, so much. Really, Rain's backstory is when it gets good in the third volume. Spoiler and bias, but Rain, Yuca, and Freya all grew up together and everything was cool . . . Until Yuca turned everyone at the orphanage to science experiments, shot Rain then fed him Freya, and made him immortal. Six hundred years later, the canon starts. It's just . . . Kaori is terrifying for coming up with it, because there is so much more, but it hurts so good. On a whole, it is a canon that I have NO complaints about it which is a miracle.

List 'em. You suddenly got a whole lot more characters than I remember.

[screwfate]

I will have to read it the next time I'm in the mood for pain then. (It won't be too long.)

Neji, Hatter, Ion and Okita. XD

[idkmybffnirvash]

Links are up in Ys' journal. ♥ Come cry at me.

OH, THAT'S IT. Okita's canon! I know nothing of it, and I am usually incredibly wary about anything involving old, dead guys, buuut . . . I am terribly intrigued by it. I know it's about the Shinsengumi, iirc? But what else does it have on the table?

[cureworsethan]

It's incredibly pretty

[idkmybffnirvash]

. . . How long is it

[andcontrarywise]

It'll be 24 episodes in total, once the second season ends.

As for Rociel! They've only met once so far, and Hatter feels like xe got the better end of that exchange, so xe's not freaking out over it. Actually, the timing is pretty convenient, because while Hatter hasn't escaped attention for killing Raikou (and some other people), it still seems like a good time to remind people that there are even less sane, more violent, and less reliable people from their world who could be here. It's a pretty good distraction. Particularly for the Messiah. That said, it could also be a complication in the future.

What's it like to go from being god to not?

[idkmybffnirvash]

It is lonely and empty and quiet. Akito isn't half the person that she was; she's a fourteenth of it. The bonds were a security blanket in more than one way. If she wanted to, she could lose herself in them. It was a quick and easy escape from herself which Akito doesn't like anymore than she does everyone else. Akito didn't just use the bonds though. She liked to sit down and listen/feel to all of the Jyuunishi. It was her way of being close to them, though none of them recognized that she actually paid that much attention. It wasn't enjoyable as there was more pain communicated than anything else, but that's how Akito operated-To be kind and listen during those times. Now, though, she's left alone with herself, and she doesn't like Akito anymore than she likes everyone else. And she can't sit still in that kind of situation. Akito keeps awkwardly trying to define what she is and what she isn't, because she is separate . . . But it's just leading to more frustration than it is answers

[andcontrarywise]

Hatter did, and has for a little while, though I forget exactly where the connection came. Something Momiji's said at some point. He hasn't admitted it outright or anything, but...

It didn't make Momiji any less fun. Hatter likes touching other people's things. :')

How much experience does Eureka have with being social and such?

[idkmybffnirvash]

YOU SUCK HATTER. As for experience, next to none! When she was discovered Eureka was rather mute and inexpressive, she did get taught the language so she could understand then later speak it. But she was more, mm, looked after like an infant and wasn't given much freedom which she didn't mind. Her first huge leap was meeting her children, and she showed actual human responses then, like protecting and caring. That was three years ago, so she's been more vocal than she was for the amount of time she was under the military's care, but it's still a lot less than most normal people. The Gekko State is a rather tight-knit group and even among them, Eureka is given a lot of space and doesn't engage them nor them her. She doesn't shy away from contact though, she just doesn't bother unless she has a reason to talk with someone. So, she always is friendly with Mischa, her doctor, and Holland, but not with anyone else since she operates on her own for the most part . . . She's a special child, sob

[screwfate]

orz I should probably essay about this sometime, but I am lazy.

The short version of this goes something like... Neji feels very left out. Or felt. He's not entirely sure how he feels about it since Itachi's left him, and Raikou just moved in with him like the day before he deaged, so it's sort of in a state of flux. He doesn't know Raikou left Raph yet, either. Last year at this time, he kind of had this feeling like the three of them were in a treehouse that he wasn't allowed in or something, and it was very difficult for him. He got jealous. He got insecure. Then he caught Raph and Itachi in a compromising position, and... it did not go well. In the end, he felt like Itachi was only still with him out of sentimentality and respect for the length of time they were together. A lot of this year has just been slow fallout from that in one way or another. And he still feels very outside of their drama. For the most part, Itachi keeps Neji and Raphael/Raikou stuff effectively segregated, and Neji doesn't push that very hard, for the

[idkmybffnirvash]

N-Neji . . .

Oh, gosh, well . . . Akito would be the easy answer! She has Shigure, she was interested in George, and did want to own Momiji in a bad way. But Akito is always drama, even outside of a relationship. Takanari definitely takes the cake though! He has Haine and Shizumasa, then he had strange relations with, uhhh, Konatsu, Nii, Raphael, and some other people . . . He'd like to make the hell out with Ruka, too. Frankly, Takanari is very selfish, but he's also good at understanding when not to push his limits. Still, he tends to have the most complications with relationships out of everyone.

Is Hatter going into a lull after all the fun of kill week? Or does h/she have something in mind for the coming month?

[andcontrarywise]

Hatter is technically not supposed to be killing right now. Which is why, if asked, Hatter will explain that no one was killed. They were left for dead! Or one killed himself. (And that one was hir favorite.)

Which is why I'm tentatively planning some killing for January, once Hatter's kill-ban is lifted. I'm still working out exactly what I want, but hopefully I'll have a real idea by the time the new year rolls around.

For December, Hatter's mostly planning on laying low and shamelessly taking advantage of mistletoe posts.

Which of your characters are most game for torture?

[idkmybffnirvash]

Hahahaha. ♥

Ah, Ys has an incredibly high tolerance for it. I'm always inviting people to try to come up with something that he hasn't been through or forced someone else through before. I give cookies to anyone who can even get him to register pain. ♥ As for the rest, I would say Akito and Takanari are decent. I've been wanting to do something with Akito, but I lean more towards mindfuckery with her . . . And she's the type to not play well with torture, because she'll kill herself to keep someone else from having the pleasure of doing it themselves. As for Takanari . . . He's a puppy, but he's also very quirky and is likely super fun to torture, I bet. I mean, he was put through ten years of it as a kid, so he knows how to handle himself around the type to play those kinds of games! He has had a few close brushes with Bad Ends, but he's managed to bounce back so far, so it'd be interesting to see which straw finally breaks the camel's back.

. . . What are you thinking?
