YUFFIE KISARAGI!!!
Played since: 7/27/08 That's fifteen months for those of us who have a hard time adding three to twelve
IC: Miserable. Miiiiiiserable. Most of her favorite people have left, she's homesick, and she's so full of wanderlust she can't see straight. She has probably never spent a year in the same place since the first time she ran away from home which was probably around age six. So. Yuffie haet stay still. That's what was up with her post a couple weeks ago where she was just an ass to everyone. She wasn't sure exactly what she was trying to do, but it was supposed to at the very least land her in a fight. Didn't work, she was still miserable. ANYWAY then the kill game was especially terrible for her in ways that I should elaborate on but basically boil down to "I am going to die and never see Wutai again I am totally alone to deal with this" which is about the most terrifying thing that could possibly happen to her. :(
THAT BEING SAID, the wolf game got so fucking terrible for her that her misery went all the way past 200% and looped back around to being functional again. This is another place that I could essay but probably wont, but suffice it to say her major flip-out/breakdown/tantrum she had at Zack was Yuffie resetting the circuit breaker on her tiny ninja rage.
So she's functional again, and will be acting pretty much in a regular Yuffie-like way, though it should be noted that, yeah, underneath that, she is the angriest little ninja and barring I-don't-know-what, I don't really see her getting happy again in camp.
OOC:
Gawd, not good you guys. IiiiiIIIiiiiiIIIIiiiiii will always love Yuffie, but she hit a major slump. Almost all of her really good out-of-canon relationships have left, and while there are a few new people I enjoy playing her off of, I think everyone knows how it goes when too many important relationships have left and your character kinda refuses to form new ones easily? That combined with, well. OK, I love Yuffie's serious feelings. I love her being the angriest ninja. But more than that I love her being a crack baby, and she's just too pissed off and bored and homesick to let the crack flow as it once did. She's a lot of energy to play and I find myself getting burnt out on her quickly.
Over-all odds of drop: 6/10 I got really really really close before that Cry Fuck You Biz, but that bought her some more time. But I think the next time she hits a major slump she probably won't recover. I imagine she'll be gone by early next year, maybe a little sooner, maybe a little later. :(
Lady
Played since: Early April. So about six months
IC: Doin' fine. She's confident that the world's not exploding without Dante. She likes running the Busted Ball. She likes being a bar-tender. I should rly rly finish my essay on how I see Lady now, someone bug me. But anyway, yeah, she's chill. When she gets out, she'll get back to hunting, but she made her choice to be here and she'll deal with however long it is.
OOC: Apping Lady worked out exactly as I had hoped it would and I could not be happier. I get to play with the few relationships of hers that I missed. I get to play the her cool, badass self. The pool hall is working out exactly like I wanted it to as a camp location. She is very much on the back-burner and always will be, but for her character right now, and how she is in canon, back burner only coming out occationally to be really hot and awesome is exactly how she should be. Seriously I am making a note here: huge success.
Over-all odds of drop: 1/10 I could live without her, but why?
Aeris!
Played since: Three months ago, meaning I have played her for three months.
:|a
IC: \o/!!!1! Aeris loev camp. She has her flowers and her boyfriends and friends. There are crisis here sometimes and she never really likes that, but she can deal, particularly with the promise of Cloud's breasts in the someday future. By and large she's simply overjoyed beyond words to have more time to be alive with her people. (and fffff I need to essay on why I chose to have Aeris identify as "alive" in camp and how this effects her behavior SO MUCH ESSAYING I WILL PROBABLY BE TOO LAZY TO EVER DO.)
There is a part of her that is genuinely bothered about the losing memories thing. Because Aeris.... isn't supposed to forget! That's not right at all! She's working under the assumption that those memories are waiting for her at home or in the lifestream or what-the-fuck-ever. and that when they're all home, the parts of her that were in camp before and the parts of her that are in camp now and the parts of her that have done the hokey pokey and turned themselves around will all come back together and she won't be missing anything. And if she's wrong? Well Aeris isn't the sort of fret about things she can't change anyway. For the most part, this doesn't really bother her in day-to-day life, unless she's meeting someone else that she's forgotten. It should also be noted that she never thinks of re-meeting people as meeting them for the first time. When people try to pretend that they're starting over from zero it kind of confuses her.
BUT MOSTLY SHE'S JUST "\o/!!!!1!" with some 8> in there and perhaps, just perhaps a little >D when the mood strikes her.
OOC: I love playing Aeris so fucking much you guys. She's so easy for me to get into her headspace. I love playing someone just positive, I love what a goofball she can be, I love how hard she tops I love how much she loves. I love Aeris. Every once in a while I'll freak myself out with lol reapp lol issues, but for the most part I can make myself chill out about those or else whine at someone who can make me chill out. WHINING IS MY ANTI-DRUG I GUESS.
Over-all odds of drop: Aeris won't be leaving camp until I do.
ME!!!
Played since: Been around since July 2005, player since November. My fourth fucking anniversary is coming up.
IC: My life's pretty awesome right now. I still dig my Animal Shelter job for as much as I bitch about it, and I'm well on my way to my ~*~dream~*~. I don't really... need RP like I used to need it. I like it, sure, but I'm not desperate for the escape that I once was.
OOC: I've said it before and I'll say it again, but I have more happy memories from playing here than I do about just about anything else in my life except for, y'know, that thing that it is my dream to pursue as a career, and even then it gets pretty damn close. That being said though, four years is a long time. Camp has changed and I have changed a lot. It's big and unwieldy and I think I know about mmmmmmmmaybe 10% of the character. Maybe. That makes 500-some characters running around that I've never heard of which is pretty fucking intimidating. I've stopped going into the main chan at all except to make sure there's still someone with the Akio script, but even then sometimes I don't recognize the nicks that *SHIRT FLIES OPEN*. World's tiniest violin. So tiny. Big games just aren't my thing. :/
But but but I have had a really awesome time in the past couple kill games and excited to explore a few relationships that those games have spawned. I even have a couple apps in the works. CFUD isn't my special place any more, but for now I'm still having fun here.
Over-all odds of drop: I have gotten close. Really close. To be honest, if I didn't have Aeris I almost certainly would have dropped out of camp within the last couple months. But I love her, and I love my cast and I don't want to leave that, and while I have her, I might as well have a couple other characters I enjoy. I'm in no hurry to leave, but I don't really see myself hitting a fifth anniversary.
Haha! I talk too much! And because it is the cool thing to do:
ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character in drag or maybe why Yuffie has taken to using vulgarities that only make sense from someone with male genitalia, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider raping you into apping, etc.
WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!
In this way we talk at each other, which is fun.
This is for Yuffie, Lady and Aeris
