Rereading it, it's actually a pretty depressing post... Joseph's 70+ hour work week that he puts on himself for no reason other than self-flagellation, and Erik fully realizing that he will never be trusted as a Leader again, that he can never even trust himself to lead again.

I'm sorry to hear you are sick. Please get better soon! :-) If you can get a reply out, then great. Otherwise, don't worry about it. I'm catching up on some other replies while I have the time anyway.

Update: Great, now I'm sick too... Clearly it's your fault... you telepathically gave me your illness! :-P

So how are you feeling?

Still sick, but I see no rest for the weary, so I should have time at work tomorrow to get some replies, maybe.

Also *Bows* So sorry about that. I must to bed now, but maybe, even if I can't reply, I can chat with you tomorrow :P

Lol, fair enough. I just started reading a new book and writing a new RP... so I'm content right now.

Also, if you have time, "Code Name Verity" is an awesome book. It's historical fiction about a Scottish spy captured during WWII by the Nazis. The whole book is written as her confession, as she gives some information and tells the story that led up to her giving into her interrogators.

Sleep well. :-)

Oh God... thank you for the post. You have no idea how much I needed a bit of levity right now. Or if it's not levity, at least the opportunity to be someone else for a while. :-)

I actually am having a good time with it.

Adrian's part feels almost like it was in direct response to Erik's doubts about himself. :-)

I feel super-lame for having to ask this, but Alexi is still very enigmatic to me.

What should Erik feel upon drinking the potion? I'm assuming the jolt of emotion would not be as painful, so what would it be? I already posted, but I can edit in the reaction in accordance with what you want, or you are welcome to slightly take control and write it if you like. Totally up to you.

Well, honestly, Alexi, loves, adores, and admires Erik. Pure and honest. He shouldn't feel any of the madness on the first take, just the. . . .Enigma of adoration that is Alexi's feelings. However, as Alexi has said before, his emotions are somewhat muted, so no matter how strong the feelings sound, just imagine yourself in love, then half it, then you're on the right track. He likes Erik, no matter what he's done, and he admires what he's trying to achieve, and the passion he puts behind the pursuance of that. And for a first dose, that'll be about it. A vaguely muted but still sharp sense of love, adoration, and admiration. :P

So... pretty much the opposite of the way he actually feels right now.

Erik used to be very confident... outwardly. Basically, even after fifty years, he's not terribly confident, because every day he lives with the fact that the wrong decision can kill people, and sometimes has. That thought keeps him awake at night. But by the same token, he's very good at faking it, and sometimes even almost tricking himself, because a leader doesn't get to second guess himself.

Anyway, working on editing now. :-)

Okay, edited. I hope you approve. I was afraid I went too far in the severity of the emotions, but I was trying to say that they come out as stronger for Erik because they are just so different from what his brain has been feeling. That's why I had them "normalize" to closer to Alexi's actual levels after just three minutes. Hopefully that works.

To be honest, I mainly did it because I just loved the visual of Erik doing something so out of character as hugging Alexi and Joseph. :-P

Oh, and I'm glad you thought Joseph's little monologue was cute. :-)

Okay, need a quick answer to this - "and gave him a bear hug, kissing him firmly on the forehead. Then he turned and hugged Alexi the same way, though he left off the kiss on the cheek this time."

Does this mean he didn't kiss Alexi and you just wrote the wrong body part, or does it mean Erik left a kiss on Alexi's cheek? I already wrote it up with the kiss, but I can change if there wasn't one.
