Union State
Well, last time I just rambled about my own angst instead, so it seems only fair to do a proper State of the Marisa. Plus I liked that extra item in Ouka's. Check it.
IC: Marisa has reached some stability with camp. You may or may not recall her progression started with enjoying it a lot -- which was tempered, and she became more unhappy, as it became increasingly clear that she really, seriously wasn't going to be able to wrap things up and go home. Nowadays, she mentions how sucky camp is a lot given the opportunity, but honestly that's largely a sort of bravado. Marisa doesn't particularly want to admit that she's used to it, that she's settled in, and most of all that... er... camp is actually a lot like Gensokyo anyway, in some ways. She complains of this place being boring and annoying, and it is, that's not a lie, but not really worse than home on the whole, at least from her perspective. No, she's really just irked at the principle of being stuck here.
Which is a pretty decent deal, actually. She likes a lot of camp weirdness, even the stuff that's annoying at the time, in her way, so she's only notably unhappy when she's being reminded of the situation.
Incidentally, I wonder if this can play into my sucking at CR (which is already compounded my Marisa's lack of inclination to form it very well anyway). Though some things in camp resemble Gensokyo, one undeniable difference is the people. People from other places don't work much like they do in Gensokyo at all (including real people in real life...), and even though she's been here a long time, there aren't as many that she especially knows, there aren't really any non-canonmates I would quiiite call friends of hers (and it's not like she had that many in canon), and there aren't many who get her deal. Maybe making actual friends would be the last sign of settling in for real.
OOC: ¯\(o_O)/¯ but I've been zennening some stuff out.
Likelihood of dropping: Eh. My RPing issues come and go such that I practically think I could wake up tomorrow feeling the opposite, but I don't see any reason to drop now.
But what if her partner(s) dropped, what then?!: Hahaha. Remilia doesn't make much of a difference at this point, but if Reimu dropped? In all honesty? If anything, it might make me LESS likely to drop Marisa. I don't mean anything bad by that, it's just that I've put serious thought before into how she'd take Reimu leaving, and I'm genuinely interested in seeing how it'd go. There are decent odds it would force her out of my comfort zone a bit too. By the way, that fact also makes me more reluctant to drop Marisa before Reimu goes. It'd be a missed opportunity! I guess I'm stuck.
Plans: None right now. I would like some, actually. Maybe someday Reimu and I will do that post we keep talking about (it's a boring one though). Incidentally, I have a note right here with a list of people Marisa should meet, from that CFO post... But I still sorta fail at tracking people down, so that might take a while. That's kind of like a plan. Oh, and I want to get some particular canon-related essaying done with soon if I can!
