Roxie hit 3K recently so why not?
It goes LIKE SO. You comment here and ASK A QUESTION. It can be anything - OOC, IC, relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. my character's opinion of your character, or maybe some specific behaviour you've been wondering about, or general thoughts on my characters or canons, my favourite colour or ( Read more... )

1. Roxie grew up with at least a few pet dogs at any given time, because I think her dad was the kind of guy who liked to own a bunch of dogs (preferably large ones or hunting dogs) just because. If she hadn't she probably wouldn't be partial to dogs but because she did she thinks of them as her ideal pets.
2. Some Non-Country Artists Roxie Was Listening To in College: Neutral Milk Hotel, Sigur Ros, Rilo Kiley, Blondie, The Velvet Underground (and post-Velvet Underground Lou Reed and John Cale stuff), The Vaselines, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Sleater-Kinney, that dog., Talking Heads, Cibo Matto, Radiohead, The Replacements, The Breeders, Lush, and Devo. Also some hip-hop but only when she was making art.
3. Fond of her dad in what she considers an awkward lame way that she tries to hide. I think he's in real estate. Hates/fears/cannot stand up to her mother in person.
4. Feels uncomfortable wearing skirts or especially dresses. Feels even more uncomfortable any time she's supposed to dress fancy.
5. The more I think about it the more I think she doesn't watch TV often. Definitely not in college but I think probably not in general. Maybe MTV2 during the weird hours where they'd show semi-okay music videos, maybe reruns of very old shows at insane hours when she has absolutely nothing better to do. At best in terms of more contemporary stuff, I could see certain HBO and AMC shows being possibilities but in college those weren't even a factor. I will totally contradict this without realizing someday, though.
Same deal to you!

2. She worked part-time to pay for college! First at a copy store and then doubled jobs at one of the grocer/convenience stores. By the time junior year came she was working more hours at her job than studying and took that as a sign that things weren't working out.
3. Remained Undecided officially but changed majors like her hair. Some potential ones she flirted with: Marine Biology, Film, Pan-Pacific Anthropology, Comparative Literature of the 1900's, Bowling Industry Management, Journalism, Women's Studies, Music Therapy, Viking History (she never mentioned this one to Roxie for obvious reasons), Subliminal Psychology
4. Didn't mention her family much, and didn't seem to visit during the holiday breaks. In fact, her first Thanksgiving was spent getting drunk with the international students and she liked the arrangement just fine. At most, mentioned her parents were separated. Vaguely. She called her dad to wish him happy birthday/father's day, so Roxie would know they at least talk.
5. Claims her favorite movies are the detective noir ones, like The Maltese Falcon, or Hitchcock stuff because it's thrilling. Really, she loves those but almost any movie where there's a large scale deception going on with all the characters some level of messed up, like Rear Window and Matchstick Men. She likes watching bad movies with people but mostly as something to lighten the mood or a prelude for making out. Those and most action/sci-fi films are her "social" watching, she doesn't really go out of her way to watch them on her own.
I don't know what his name is. It depends on who
...on who what? I just want to know what you call your bunny! STOP MESSING WITH MY MIND!!1! /Troy-imitation

Has anything changed with Azula's routine lately? WHY DON'T YOU TRY NEW FUN THINGS
Reply
Azula is actually even more antisocial, so it's just training, studying, training some more, MEDITATING ALOOOOOOOOONE...that stuff. Mostly because the system of contacts she developed have all pretty much gone home and the ones left, like Thor and Lelouch, aren't people she cares to continue engaging in because she's gotten her information from them and they suck on a personal level. The Avatar is gone, she can't kill her brother permanently, every attempt at working the system blew up in her face. She's...frustrated, angry and mostly just wants to leave to get back to Important Things. If Ty Lee weren't here she'd probably be devoting 100% of her efforts to escape and be so much crazier. So, so much crazier.
So basically I'm thinking I should let her go in the next few months because I love her, and she's awesome, and I don't really want to since FINALE SOB SOB, but I'm mostly threading her with Ty Lee or other random crack stuff and, camp being a giant cockblock of plot, her overarching badassery has come to an end. Which is very important to playing Azula. But not before I do all the other shameless self-indulgent things I want to do with her. Because I still have fun playing her! Ty Lee needs to top feelings into her before all that terrible stuff happens and I cry forever.
So I guess I should ask is WHAT FUN THINGS DOES TY LEE WANT AZULA TO DO WITH HER AND ARE YOU DOWN WITH THAT I'm sorry she'sjustreallyhighmaintenenceandinsane ._________.

It's okay, I completely understand ♥ Like, I am super-bummed about it and wish there were some way around it but your character is incredibly high-maintenance and mine... is Ty Lee. While I feel like she could be more social than I play her I can backburner her easy. There's a difference! Also if Azula drops Ty Lee will too because she would have been sustainable without Azula in like... 2008 or early 2009 when she had a big support network but those people are basically all gone now. I really want to play her off of certain characters more but not having Azula would be the Misa situation except 1000% worse. Of course the actual incredibly difficult thing with the drop is that Ty Lee is really really really conflicted about actually going back to the Fire Nation but that's another matter altogether.
And I don't have a good answer for that question because "top feelings into her" sort of sums it up! So better question for you is what self-indulgent stuff do you want to do?

The lack of support network staying is pretty much the major problem I have. All the current CR she has is people she tolerates personally, but not strategically worthwhile. But she's definitely not going until July, I swear! And I think mellowing out her priorities would make it easier to play if there's a balance but yeah I don't want to get your hopes up. I WILL KEEP TRYING and at least July means mistletoe and Azula's long standing nemesis Santa Claus so it's not as if I'm bereft of things to want to play with her. I just don't think I can keep her crazy in check without focus. And it's not as if I'm not OOCly fine with Ty Lee accidentally dragging Azula somewhere else after camp! Azula would just never agree to it ever over her dead body ICly.
And uhhhh...I seriously wouldn't know. Something Ty Lee can make some token excuse about being important or relevant to Real Duties in the Fire Nation. Maybe how training kittens is like komodo rhinos or something. Something Azula wouldn't immediately shoot down. Ty Lee does have more influence now that she's the one thing keeping Azula sane the only person Azula really prefers the company of. Maybe even little things like "hey do you miss Mai, I miss Mai, talk about your stupid feelings please :/" or something. Since Azula has been avoiding that neatly...and everything relating to that whole incident. part of me also just thinks making camp do status effects, while hilarious, is cheap and should be used sparingly lest she flip tables, but the other part says I have icons and it's for fun so ehhhh
No really I have no ideas. :| What kind of feelings do you want her topped into besides the standard "stop being a sociopath" ones?
Reply
I think first and foremost just having fun in the way actual normal human beings have fun, or coming as close to it as possible. Training kittens is a thing though Ty Lee deep down thinks Azula needs a dog but at the same time there's no way she can pull getting another pet off. You need more compassion for adorable living things, dammit. This is a thing! She's also interested in making out again but that's what July is for.
So tell me fun things to do that Azula could be topped into doing! I need to know where the boundaries lie, dammit.

...so you can see how amenable Azula is to heart-to-hearts with regards to anything. But she'd be more okay with talking about Mai as an alternative to talking about Mai + everything else that happened.
But, yes, normal fun things! Well, she's accepted Ty Lee's personal forms of entertainment so she could be easily persuaded into something like "oh watch this movie with me" or listening to her music. Getting her to like it/appreciate it is something entirely different. As for pets and compassion for animals, Azula isn't really a dog person anyway since that's apparently Zuko's spirit animal pet and she really probably needs something sturdier and fireproof...like a dragon. But she tolerates Ty Lee's cats since they haven't defied her yet or whatever. She's not easily given to wanting to kick them anyway.
Competition things like maybe carnival games. Sports. Get Azula into a win mode and she obviously will give 100% into that. She's still of the opinion that dancing is worthless and frowned upon so maybe not specifically that unless she's in an amazingly charitable mood. Ta...lking to people? Depending on the person, beyond "hey he's a cutie" or if she sees something denoting power/status. She's actually bothered with cooking because it sort of counts as survival even if princesses never need to know. She's also not adverse to making out with Ty Lee because, hey, Ty Lee is an experienced kisser and she doesn't hate it but is kind of "...but what reason?" about the whole thing. Except for being used as a distraction tactic, that she gets. I wish she could try singing but that's probably worse than dancing in her eyes, so not likely. But hey sparring is fun! Truth and lie games are fun. So is tormenting enemies of the Fire Nation! ...we can always do the old standby favorites.
Boundaries are basically whatever Ty Lee can make a reasonable excuse for being practical or is deeply invested in enough that Azula capitulates instead of makes her cry. And flattery, loads and loads of flattery to soften the blow to her ego.
So, speaking of topping. If Roxie and Ty Lee were stuck in a room together, what would they talk about and how badly would Ty Lee top Roxie?

(Pretty decently. It's sort of like a cross between Sakura and Cat; she's too nice and sweet and unthreatening and dumb to not put up with a lot. Like, that kind of relentless cheer and enthusiasm would annoy the hell out of her, but it would be like kicking a puppy. Roxie can't actually kick puppies, she just glares ineffectually at them.)
