No, they don't grow that dark, that's why she's forcing herself to think differently. Let's just say she's... not a positive person. Though I admit, it was a bit fast even for me. I used a time skip and a whole afternoon to try to make her think differently. This is probably hours and hours after she found out she's trapped in the game. During which she rested. Perhaps she had a nightmare? Hm.... Anyways, she is forcing herself to change and become a different person. Her logic is that if she's more negative and less trusting, she has a better chance than if she trusts others. So, she forces herself to try to change, though I'm sure she'll revert from time to time. [quote=dlayeth]Would most people be fine with earning money from hunting? She didn't think so. The gamers here were a diverse lot, and she had no doubt that some here were major freaks and/or morally deficient. Statistically speaking, quite a few of them would be criminals of some sort, and some... were probably cold-blooded murderers and rapists. Somewhere deep in her heart, she couldn't bring herself to truly believe that. She believed somewhere deep down in the goodness of her fellow human beings, but her head swore differently. [/quote] It's not exactly true belief, but more of a mindset she's trying to shove herself into and intends to continue to shove herself into, until it truly becomes her mindset. "you might end up one more RPing for a while ... " ? Well, if you mean I'll be RP-ing solo for a while, that's fine. Since for now, Akane will be a solo player, though I do believe she'd mingle a bit with other players just to dig for information. Glad you like it. ^^
