Strangetown: Nice to Meet You

[strange_tomato]

With my chapter of The Round Robin Legacy looming, I thought it would be best to jump ahead slightly and reveal a story detail before that legacy entry gives it away in a less ceremonious way. I wouldn't want to completely blow my wink and nudge moment. So, without saying anything more...

Lol, oh Ripp. This whole monogamy thing is gonna be a little harder than he thought, eh?

And she's half alien! Oh, the poor thing - Helena must seem so tempting. Hope he manages to keep his wits about him.

:3

Did you ever think it would be easy? ;) As much as his heart belongs to Phi, his loins continue to want to roam, wild and free. Old habits are hard to break, so efforts must be made.

Yes, that's an extra layer of trouble, I think. *nods* I wonder why? *snicker*

I love your new icon! :D That drawing makes a great icon.

I've actually been waiting for something like this to crop up. I mean, he was bound to run into an attractive female/bed buddy eventually. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does fighting against his own nature. *crosses fingers for him*

Haha, I've always wondered what brought on his obsession with alien features. Is it because of Johnny or just something inside of him that finds them attractive? Because he's brought it up during that whole kiss with Jill and even Jaxy has picked up on the fact that he's got it bad for aliens.

I put up a couple new icons. I get bored of seeing the same ones over and over again. Jill's now my default. And I got a few other fun ones up. :D

Well, you know how he feels about Phi. He isn't going to want to hurt her, and there are also other complexities in their situation at this point. That doesn't mean he won't sometimes want to stray and do what he does best. If he keeps his wits about him, he'll probably be fine, but he's also known for letting those go at times, so it will be a challenge.

Ripp has always been fascinated by Johnny's green skin (and intrigued by just HOW green he was, whether everything was green, etc.), and that comes through in his dialogue and thought processes all the time. I think it's partly the strangeness of it, and maybe he latched on to that attraction because of his father too... because it was so forbidden. Jaxy has her own theories about it, but I'll wait so you can hear them firsthand. ;)

I'll go take a look. I should make some more icons one of these days too. I have more spaces that I'm not using.

Jill is a good choice for a default icon. :D

OH GOD I JUST READ WHAT simgaroop POSTED AND OMG WHAT HAS HAPPENED UP TO THIS POINT WHAT IS THIS SAD THING THAT RIPP WAS TALKING ABOUT AND WHY DID I NOT NOTICE THAT THEY WERE OLDER? I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST HAVING FUN WITH CLOTHING OMFG. D:

I believe in Ripp and his ability not to fuck up. I think his love of Phi will keep him grounded.

He did latch onto the whole green thing right away, from the first moment he met Johnny it seems. I can't help but think at least a little bit of it might just have to do with a comfort mechanism - it reminds him of Johnny who is his best friend, but I see all of those other factors too. The strangeness and how it was a taboo for the General. I am super excited to hear Jaxy's theories!

Haha, you should make more icons! They're fun to have. I always think about buying a paid subscription to LJ, but I really can't justify buying it just for the icons. I'm stingy as hell.

<3 Jill.
