This was supposed to be a rant about something else, but this is a fresh wound.
I was supposed to be writing something else, but instead I’ll write about you. Yes, you. Why can we not get rid of you? It’s been over a year, and you’re still harassing people. You did it just! today! I saw the conversation! WTF.
So, sometime a little over a year ago, I was gnawing for some Resident Evil RP. A LJ friend of mine, who gracefully bowed out of the drameh and XSITEMINT that encompasses good ol’ LiveJournal, said that she would help me build a canon-based Resident Evil game. It was small, it was short-lived, but the players were awesome. Just fantastic.
But in the short couple of months that I had it running with her, we were introduced to a young’un (she was 16 at the time), who wanted to know if she, and her girlfriend, could join as Rain and Alice from the movies. Mind you, this was pretty obviously a video game-explicit game. But, we honestly considered it, my wondrous co-mod and I. We dwelt on it a few days, and during that day’s time, we got to hear all about how they played Rain and Alice as lesbians (RL-into-IC-blend, anyone?).
Now, just really quick, here’s a
SMALL
SPOILER
OF THAT
MOVIE ----
Rain dies. Alice, who knows her all of two-three hours, had to shoot her ass in the head because she was infected with the T-Virus.
She’s dead, dead, dead, dead.
But Rain, as the young’un wanted to be called (buh), insisted that the T-Virus mutated her body in a way similar-yet-not-quite to Alice, the most obvious movie-Sue in the history of ever. Similar-yet-not-quite to the fact that, despite the fact that even in the movie it’s stated that only severe trauma to the head and neck will stop the infected, Rain survived! And became a super genius zombie! Nevermind that doesn’t happen. You either have a super human (see: Alice, Albert Wesker), or you have a rotting corpse with the intelligence of a rock (see: George W. Bush).
Okay. So. We have the resident RE Mary Sue in love with a sooper-schmart dead chick.
No.
We decided that, no, sorry kids, but movie canon will not jive with game canon; especially not for the plot we have in mind. It’s a small game, so the plot was predefined. Not every minute detail, but the general direction. We had all of four active players?
I never met Alice-mun. I’m glad, because if she was as bad as Rain…
Rain blew up. Started just ranting and raving about how it works in other games! and we were such bitches! and some other stuff I can’t remember because it’s been a year! But it included a lot of her double speaking and attempting to turn my co-mod and I against one another. Nevermind that we were copy and pasting the conversations back and forth to one another, right?
But it gets better, my friends. When we began to call Rain out on all this, she would break down and scream how it was the fault of all these mental/personality dysfunctions she had. And how she wasn’t medicated, or how she was but the medication wasn’t working. I can’t tell you how much I hate when people don’t get their way, and then when they’re shown to be acting badly, they pine it’s a mental condition (but ONLY do that when they’re called out and proven to be doing bad - it’s happened in my wonderful world of RP more times than I’d like to count), but she did this like… a helluva a lot of times.
For a while there, she attached to my Ada-mun, aka my co-mod, who is one awesome graphics/web designer. My co-mod would point and laugh, and then beg that someone get rid of her, but eventually she faded out.
………
Until a few months later, when I got an IM from Rain, apologizing for her past behaviors. I was like, “Uh, okay.” Mind you, our little RERP was long dead and buried in a shallow grave by this time. But, whatever, she seemed to have a guilty conscience, and was soon crying to me about how “Alice” dumped her. Because… she began to like another ‘stupid videogame’ called Final Fantasy X. This should break me into an entirely different rant about 1) puppy love, and 2) IC romance =/= OOC compatibility, along with 3) wtf do you expect at sixteen?
… Okay. And then after this, she asked if she could try to get into our rotting game in a tied off, deteriorating trash bag deep in the woods. I said… no. Because it’s not running anymore, and if it was, it’d still be no; not only because we still wouldn’t allow the RE movies, but because she was a psycho little shit. Though I was a bit nicer, just saying that she showed she had no integrity with how she tried to play my co-mod and I against one another, and she blew up AGAIN about everything like I was going to apologize and revive the game and magically revamp everything for her because I felt bad. Aheh. No.
And then Rain went away again, only to contact me four-five months after that, to tell me how much she matured. It was basically ‘I’m another year older, and another year wiser’ thing, and really, she did seem far more tame. And I got to hear all about her school, her love life, ladida~
And then she asked me to help her co-mod a Resident Evil RP. … zomg what??? So I said, “Well, I’ll think about it, but I have a lot of stuff RP-wise that I’m doing now.” Which was pretty true, to my credit. I was in five or six games at that time-oh! I was, but my primary focus was on a university game where I was playing Vergil from Devil May Cry 3, and he was eating my brain. I thought about it, and even brainstormed a little, but a little voice in the back of my head (one that doesn’t tell me to stab my cat’s eyes out with my thumbs and go crazy on people on the intarwebs, thank you) said to not do it. So I didn’t.
My Jill-mun from the RERP almost fell into the trap, however. I can’t recall if she officially joined it, but she almost did at my best recollection. This has also labeled HER for harassment over the months, and is the primary reason I’m sitting here writing this now.
I stumbled upon it once, when scanning for RPs, and noticed a post that all posts were to be Friends’ Only from then on out so no one could see the burning drama that was taking place. Because of someone’s interpretation of Sherry Birkin, apparently the entire game was racked with backstabbing and anarchy, and I nearly DIED. So glad I wasn’t a part of that.
So, time passed, and I started meeting other Resident Evil role players. We’d get to talking, and somewhere along the line, one of us would mention something about “this one girl who was obsessed with playing Rain”, and the other’s jaw would hit the floor, and OH the horror stories would be tossed back and forth.
She’s been everywhere! She’s been kicked out of communities! She runs a website of Rain’s actress, Michelle somethingorother! And she’s probably alienated every Resident Evil RPer out there!
We seriously need an Anon group.
So, this humble morning, my Jill-mun and I were entertaining one another with a wounded Seifer Almasy and assisting Riku wandering around a Silent Hill-esque college campus, when she starts freaking out. Guess who IMed her? Guh’on. Guess.
And she was like, “You were on my BL, but I don’t know you.”
I told Jill-mun to respond with, “I’m your father.” but apparently Jill-mun thinks she has better sense than I do (hee), and blocked her instead.
Just to get another IM from her under another SN, bitching at her because she blocked her. And then she started spamming my poor Jill-mun about “Oh, I remember you now.” Talking about how “real mature” it was to block her for that. And then she was like, “I’m Rain. I’m (insert journal here) on LJ. I was going to join (really big cracktastic RP Jill-mun, myself, and everyone and their brother has been in or is in now). I’m the Elitist.”

Jill-mun didn’t respond once.
And my poor Jill-mun has been added to her FL! And Jill-mun is panicking because she thought she’d gotten away from her.
Jill-mun? Sweetie? I’m glad it isn’t me. *runs away* Just don’t join any of her RPs.
Have any of you guys ever encountered The RPer from Hell That Just Wouldn’t Go the Fuck Away? And by that, I’m being general as in the breed, not this particular person. Though, if you have accounts of this person too, I’d love to hear it.
Why must people like this frolic about the internet and stalk the innocent?
