(no subject)
Tweaked a bit since I posted it in my LJ, updated for Mere's and Sarah's.
Veronica Mars
Veronica's at peace with her life and her crazy boyfriend (I repeat: a year and NO ONE HAS DIED, I think she gets some kind of award here, guys). For NDPD, though I've done nothing with it, I gave her some, like, bo staff type things so she can keep up her (still kind of absurd if you think about it, but it gives her an outlet for her tiny blonde rage) training. Things are quiet, things are good. So it's time for me to give her her item next month. I'm thinking publicly, we'll see. I'll take comments and questions from concerned parties starting now.
Eden McCain
Got gardening equipment and seeds for NDPD. Have yet to decide precisely what, but basic, really, as she's a beginner in need of a new hobby. I love her, but she's in a rut because every single last one of her friends short of Gideon and Grigg are pretty much vanishing into the ether. She's lonely and heartbroken, and though she's the kind to persevere, I don't know what to do. There's a limit to how much I like torturing her. She needs to make new friends - and there was a time she was my most social pup - but she's not really inclined to go seeking anyone out when she's lost so many people, you know? So I should EP her next month because it's been a while, but whenever I do, I get basically the same two or three people every time, and I love those people, but no one wants to meet her, so… I'm not sure what to do, in short. Tag more people at random, I guess.
Meredith Grey
She's pretty much the only one I've been playing the last couple weeks, at least with any regularity or real desire to do so. So she's being committed and she's not running, even if Sean does have the skin of a killer, and she's being all… mature, I think is the word, and… I want to say "tamed," which probably gives a negative impression that isn't actually there for me so much because it's not like with Derek, where she's being treated like a child (even when she acts like one). And in her head, which is a magical, tangled, terrifying place, to her this amounts to, okay, so maybe I'm better, maybe things are going to be okay. Which isn't at all a bad thing, but it forced me to take stock, partly because "settled" is the kiss of death for a character like Meredith, mostly because I spent a lot of time haranguing the show's writers for making her "happy and glowy" (I think I just gave the same reason twice). But this is more like that time in season five where Meredith goes to her therapist and is like "No, I'm happy and healed and we're healthy now, so it's all okay, I'm not coming back again, byeeeeee," and then Cristina is like "JFC she is a lying liar who lies to herself," but then Meredith gets married on a post it and NO ONE CARES anymore except Alex? Minus the entire second half of that. She's healing, but she's not healed (yes, I did make a mental checklist of all the ways she's still fucked up). And anyway, it makes a kind of sense that she has to settle eventually, because you can't be that person forever and this is about as steady a relationship as she has ever had in her life. So.
Oh. So. She's telling Izzie that she has cancer, whoooo. Sean got his item and Meredith didn't freak out tooooo much. And I kind of want to give her her item, which I've pretty much settled on as being Doc again. I kind of want to give her Anatomy Jane, but I think I might wait until next year. Doc might be just a bit more relevant (and so cute). AND SOON. SOON. SADIE. HATERS TO THE LEFT. Which I could go on and on about, but I will do that some other time because she is already dominating this post AGAIN. ALSO, anyone from Seattle Grace OR who is friends with that group in some capacity, I've put together trseattlegrace which I meant to do, like, uh, in December when all of a sudden we had a thousand people.
Additionally she's just accidentally canon-punctured Sean and… yeah. Oops. That was totally unintentional, sorry, Leshia, but it's making for some awesome drama and… I don't know what's gonna happen there exactly. Cristina's been dropped, so we're setting that disappearance to this weekend, in order to give me, Melly and Laine time to play it out a little bit, and then she'll be getting an EP.
Serena van der Woodsen
NDPD gift: I am pretty much ready to cop out and give her a puppy.
Currently: Losing EVERYONE. Not really, but it sure as hell seems like that. I need to do something with her soon and something big. I'm hoping when canon returns, though, we'll get more on her dad (HER DAD, BILLY BALDWIN) and then I can, like, you know, use that, because I've been wanting to give her a Daddy Issues Item for a long, long time. She's incredibly social, so I need to get back to tagging, like, everyone under the sun with her. Even in this mood, she's social.
Sarah Walker
Dealing with Chuck and Bryce in a very off screen kind of way, i.e. Angel has important business and Shane's computer is dead, so I'm not really stressed over not playing things out right now. I think I've become much more chill about these things. When it comes to Sarah, though, I need to find a line and not be too relaxed or she'll grow entirely stagnant. I love her, but I desperately need to do something with her. I had all these things I wanted to do and they never happened, so now I have to come up with new things and I don't even know. I… feel like I had more to say on her and I have completely and utterly blanked.
ETA: And now she will be getting canon-punctured with Casey. :D Also she will be getting a real name tonight! Unless NBC is lying to us again.
Moira MacTaggert
NDPD gift: Still needs one.
Currently: I love herrrrr. Still playing out Felix being in love with her post VDay. I think once he's not all magically in love with her, she'd probably quite like him, actually. She's my mellow pup, really. I feel absolutely no impetus to give her plot of any kind. I'll just keep tagging people at random with her. It seems to work. I do have something for her eventually, as far as an item goes, but I'm going to wait until the summer. And now she has an EP where she's being assaulted by the melodious harmonies of the Shaggs. This makes me happier than you can know.
Emma Frost
God, I love her. I still second guess myself all the time because she's, you know, motherfucking Emma Frost and I don't know why I keep electing to play characters everyone knows and probably knows better than I do myself, but she's so much fun. I have to keep her a bit on the back burner, though, until I know what's what with this whole Jean thing that happened post VDay. She hates everyone so much. I love it. I really have no deep thoughts on her right now, beyond "aghajs<3<3<3" and also I really love playing the powerlessness aspect of her, in part because it makes her so pissy. I kind of want her to get in a fight. Although, dude, she totally sparred with Bryce Larkin, amazing.
The Future
Abby Mills is on reserve. Depending on where I am then, though, I may end up pushing her back again, just because I've barely been playing and I don't yet know if that really is a phase or how it's going to be now that I'm super industrious; plus I don't know if I want to debut her when I'm in Edinburgh, assuming I got her. We'll see how the month or so goes. (Ugh, sometimes I still want to play wee Cyclops, why.)
