Yes! Two years as of May the 3rd. I remember joining and seeing people who'd been in the game for a year or more and thinking, "Wow...that's a long time...how cool is that?!" That's been some of my weird motivation for keeping him around (although sometimes I think I almost feel guilty for not letting him go home...).

I really enjoy playing him. What more can I say? I picked him up those two years ago wanting to join Poly, but I wasn't sure with who. So I picked him up. Almost at random. I liked his series, I'd been a bit of a fangirl about it... And look where it's gotten me.

Truth be told, it's grown on me. I've taken to enjoying the research, the details, the little things I can throw in (tashiro_kun can vouch for the research parts |D We're both like that!). I worry that I'm too tl;dr with him sometimes and every HMD I promise to rein in the tl;dr (and it never quite works...)

Still! Thank you so much. Crit or not, I'm glad that you enjoy reading him and playing with him. I intend to keep him around for a long, long time (sorry Cain!).

There's always a danger when posting tl;dr as some people might not read it. In Uta's case, she hates tl;dr so I have to skim through Cain's post and post a comment, tag, before I just read it for myself.

Also, I apologize for dropping tags... this month's just gone to hell...

Stay classy, Caru~

I know there is. And I know for a fact that it scares some people off. That's some of my motivation to go out and tag them so there's interaction without having to wait for them to come to me--because they'd have to get over the hurdle of the tl;dr, and I can't count on that happening.

Anyway, I know there's a danger to it, so I try to keep it as un-tl;dr as possible while still being comfortably tl;dr for me. It's a funny balance that I don't always hit. But I do appreciate Uta commenting, absolutely :3

S'all right. I've had months like that too. ... Actually, the last two weeks have been like that, but it's cooled off again.

♥!

...orz;;; Might have failed in that comment there. *kicks her boss*

A sentence was lacking... There's a danger to being tl;dr but I can see the effort you put in interacting with others that makes it near impossible to ignore Cain while staying in character. I'm trying to learn from your example as I'm planning to play someone with similar characteristics.

So yeah, Caru, why so awesome? ;.;

Nyuuu don't kick your boss! Nothing good comes of this! Trust me...

Was there? Okay...um, well...in response then... Cain is relentlessly social. It's not necessarily obvious in canon, but Merry often comments with things like, "Another party?" or "You were out late again last night, big brother. >:|" Cain is known in the Society and party scene. So I figure he's got to be basically sociable, even if he is a little creepy when he does it. Knowing that he's tl;dr, yes, it does make me want to interact outwards more--like I said: I know people might not read his tl;dr, so I go to them rather than wait for them to come to me.

But! I am glad you like it. I do put some effort into it to keep the tl;dr entertaining, at least. (And, unfortunately, I think some of it is my own natural tendency to tl;dr... orz)

Good luck! I'm not necessarily the best model for it, but good luck!!

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. I'm not awesome, I just work hard?
