drop meme for real
Okay, now that I'm a little less sore and realize my problem is with apping, not playing... let's try this again.
Basically - I have no intention of dropping either, but if I had to I wouldn't be miserable.
Ro Rowen
IC: Has just re-aged after being six years old for about a month and... doesn't clearly remember any of it. So now she's going around quizzing people, ostensibly trying to find out if she did anything embarrassing or crazy that'll come back to haunt her.
But her real motivation is this - Ro really doesn't remember her childhood. All she's got are a few vague memories and what Casey was able to tell her. So she's eager to hear about anything she let slip while she was six about her grandparents or her brother; Casey wasn't able to tell her that much before Bennett caught up to them. She won't outright admit it, but she's curious. Casey isn't here to tell her about when they were little, after all, and she's kind of miffed she can't remember it anymore.
OOC: Ro is my primary, mainly because it's easier to get her involved with people and because she still intrigues me. Little shaky on the voice, but I'm managing. Just need to make sure she still comes off as a teenager.
PLANS: Play the above out, and get some established relationships and stop flaking with her. Also I should probably do a camp-induced sleepover post. Just. Because.
DROP PERCENTAGE: 2/10. However, if Zeta drops, she's going too. Period.
Remy
IC: Is recovering from a really weird bodyswitch that we timed badly, but is happy to be himself again. He's kind of in a rut and is back to trying to fix the Tuesday soup. More cooking experiments are probably coming. As long as he's busy, he's not missing home as much. If the Mess Hall blows up again, though, he's not going to be in good shape.
OOC: No longer my primary. He's good for short threads and I need to pick up his friendships in camp, but... I'm getting repetitive with Remy. Still love him to death, but I'm throwing him out less lately. I'm cool with him being a secondary, though.
PLANS: He's so totally going to meet Scar at some point. Backdate the bodyswitch with Marlene. Gape at King Mickey oh wait I'm already doing that right now. Find the time to throw him into another CFUW game - because as much as I suck at CFUW, the one time I had him in a game was hilarious. I just have to block out an entire week when I will have no life.
DROP PERCENTAGE: 4/10.

So my main problems are:
1) Trying to spend more time than I should in one sitting on threads
2) Sucking at apping
For the first, I am just going to have to stop trying to spend two hours in one sitting with RP. I'm not comfortable that way and just can't keep the voice going for that long. Really, I just spend half the time trying to tag back and trying to ignore the fact that the attention span has passed and I need to come back. So I'll just have to pick up threads at intervals instead of prolonged playing for hours. The latter doesn't work.
As for sucking at apping: I've finally come to realize that's okay. If I get an idea for an app sometime, I'll write it down, and maybe when an app round comes up I'll have a draft ready in time. Because every time I decide "okay, I'm gonna app X character for THIS round dammit" something always happens or I stress myself out. If I keep working around deadlines I'll continue to suck at it. Maybe I'll find a character that takes over my brainspace so much that pounding out an app is nothing. Or maybe I'll just find myself with a draft around apping time.
Not as sore now, by the way. Just need to pick up and get organized for possible family antics tomorrow.
