Cain; What can I say about this fop that I haven't before? YOU ARE CAIN ( ... )

I guess I'm not quiiiiiiiiite sure what you mean by "reacting for the sake of reacting." Admittedly, no, he doesn't have as much reason to invest himself in things since, yes, Alexis is gone and, no, there aren't that many mysteries to solve in the City (at least, ones that the police don't pounce on first). But he is yet relentlessly social and still tries to keep himself hooked into the goings-on of the City. It still interests him, even if it does kind of frustrate him with making him crazy or turning him into a cat. I'd love to have some reason for him to solve Godchild-type mysteries too, though it's rare for those to turn up in-game of late. (Needs moar villains around here!!) I do miss playing detective Cain, and if the chance comes to bring that side around, I'll jump for it. It's been tricky ( ... )

Also: Your Sherlock is love and I"m looking forward to see how that Irregulars plot is going to play out :P
I have a disturbing lack of constructive criticism for you, I blame it on my fangirl nature and complete lack of knowledge of your canons...

Thank you! Holmes I worry about because he's such an iconic character. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing him a little too much Jeremy-Brett-playing-Sherlock-Holmes rather than just straight up Sherlock Holmes (but, sob, I'm such a Brett fangirl it's not even funny). I'm hoping the Irregulars plot will serve as a kind of ongoing plot--it'll get him around more, and give other characters someone new to tag with. I hope it'll work. I always liked the idea of the Baker Street Irregulars.
That is okay too! Thank you for telling me I'm doin it rite :3 I will do my best to keep it up ♥

Question for you, just in the general vein of curiosity. After being in the City so long, how do you keep Cain from getting frustrated at being stuck here?

Buh--part of me hates this kind of question because it makes me go, "OMG, is he not frustrated enough? Should I make him more frustrated? ...should I drop him because he's been here so long? It isn't fair to him that he's still here..." BUT! In answer to it: he is frustrated, but he's kind of being stiff-upper-lip about it. He's been here for two years and change. On the one hand, he hates it, it isn't home, and he's got no one from his world here anymore (not even his enemies!). On the other hand, he's gotten used to the technology, he's established himself fairly well here, he's relatively comfortable, and he has a couple of people who are somewhat significant to him. So, yes, on the one side he is frustrated with having been here for so long, for having seen other people go home. He's gotten to be a little resigned about ( ... )

I figured some of the frustration might be due to him keeping up appearances. I don't always read what's behind his Private to Self cuts.
I think he's one of the few characters that I've seen in the City this long that is still as active as he is, so I'm glad that you've still got a lot you're doing with the character!

DO you have an amazing bookmarked reference page for Victorianisms or is that all the sheer librarian amazing that you are? I think it's rather funny that you play two detective characters, both in an era with drastic slants to it. Obviously our dear Sherlock is moar real, where as Cain is ...special.
Lina would like to know if Lazlo is ever going to accept that he is a NERD GEEK EGGHEAD.

I don't have a bookmarked reference page, but I do have a book! It's called What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew. It explains details of the era like what the Season is (and when it is), the differences between various types of maids (parlour, kitchen, house, and otherwise), carriages and carts, city life, trains, houses with names, &c. I refer to that book ALL the time with Cain. That helps me get the details right. The rest of it comes from reading stories (Sherlock Holmes, for example, among others). Cain is, admittedly, less historically accurate and more fantastic than Holmes, but it's known that Kaori Yuki is a Sherlock Holmes fan (and probably a fan of the Jeremy Brett-era Holmes too, since the character designs in Godchild resemble the costumes in that series--ironic, isn't it?), so I will admit to drawing on bits of that at times. I find it a bit ironic myself that I play the both of them, and I do worry that I get their voices either too ( ... )

PS. This applies to Laszlo too 8)
Also, a toast to Cain for being in the game for so long and still growing as a character.

You're amazing.
Jesus.
I have no other words.
Oh expect that you should expect a certain team of Young Avengers to gawk at Hawkeye because of his name, and that Cain is ridiculously consistent, and that I want to adopt Holmes. A question is - will you be drawing from the new movie that's coming out? I suspect the answer is no but inquiring minds long to know!
