-ZAPPED-

Hrm... I think I'ma still hold off on posting for a bit, mainly because I want to give others the chance to post as well before Prudence and Oda start sparring. :/

RIP guild, longest outage I've experienced on my time here.

There's been longer. A lot longer.

Hey guys, I just wanted to apologize for taking so long. I've had bad migraines all day, and its been a little hard to focus on writing, but I should be finished soon! Sorry again, though.

somebody go talk to Monica cause she's unlikely to care about anything until then.

Koyuki, Argo, and Lance are still in the room. You can always have Monica interact with them, and there's also Ikiriyo, you can always have her ask him questions before everyone takes off.

What I meant by that is "Monica is entirely apathetic about everything, and will not speak unless spoken to, will not act unless told to or until the force driving her becomes too unbearable, and will not seek help unless it is offered."

Evangeline is not to far off from that, but that doesn't mean your character can't have some narrative, even if its to herself. It doesn't even have to be with others, but you can always have Monica going off on her own intentions, like after the Bloodhounds, or to seek the other Reaper. Its just a suggestion, but its some progression for your character nonetheless.

With the way I've set her up, or rather the way she's formed, she cares so little that until ikiriyo tells her to get out of his office, she probably won't move from her seat. It's an issue when it happens, but some of my characters develop to be incredibly antisocial or apathetic, meaning I basically have to beg other people to interact with them.

Also I'm finding it hard to post right now, because every time I try to make sense of what's going on my brain decides to turn everybody's posts into german.

hum. I need a post from Oda.

BUT I need sleep now.

That's an interesting quirk, Chuk. Do you know German, or is it just something weird that happens for no reason. Also, if no one else does it, I'll have Zach interact. If I can get him out of his mood of self loathing and terror. Why do I like to make my character's make bad desicions.
Oh yeah, it's more fun that way

Edit: Something I've noticed so far is that Lance and Zach are the only ones who seem to have a positive relation with thier Mori. I find it kinda weird, yet u derstandable. My view of Mori was that of a helpful guide, so that's why I have Umbram help Zach a lot. He is the shadow of Zach's vengeance, but his role is to make sure that on he doesn't become the monster he's trying to kill.I also apologize to Art of Fun for the creative liberties I have taken with vampire bits and if they don't work for the story, could we say they're special to Crescent face(The name for the vamp until I come up with something more suitable). I would've talked to them about beforehand, except it was kinda a spur of the moment kinda thing. I tend to do that as I right, getting hit by a muse, and having to act on it lest I lose it.

I personally like the fact that Zach now has some kind of addiction. It could lead to an interesting story line with Jimmy.
Also chukklehed fellow German here.

It's more for Pru that she doesn't want to look too closely at Inferno, because she sees herself at the age of six. Broken. Unable to do anything. She listens to inferno. She doesn't resent her or hate her. It just is.

Thanks. Yeah, and the reason for his targeting of Evangeline is because: A)She looks and acts very vulnerable and innocent, which causes his vampiric side to rage to devour such easy and delicious looking prey, and B)His mother acted similar to Evangeline when she was in the deepest throughs of her depression when his father left her. Unlike Evangeline, she got out od it, but some of his earliest memories as a child was seeing hs mother in that state. Normally, that would, and will, make him just highly protective of Evangeline, but his vampiric side perverts that protective urge into a dark attraction. More than anything else, his vampire side wamts to drain her dry, because more than anyone else, that is who Zach wants to protect.

How is that plot thread though, is it too weird?

I see, that is interesting. I was wondering why the image you placed on the CS didn't match up with what you were describing IC.

Simply because I forgot to change the picture....which I will do in the morning

Sorry for the lateness of the reply... ;-;

Also, I'm really sorry that I ended the sparring match before it really got started... it just felt wrong to just have a training match with what was going on next to Oda and Prudence...

Oh, and is what Oda doing right now for Zachary okay with you Raijin? Wasn't too sure if it was the stupidest thing, friendliest thing, or the bravest thing for someone to do in this situation. >_>

Since Evangeline's Mori represents her own self-hatred, I thought it'd be fun to playing as both a figure of encouragement and struggle. Dee is neither good, or bad, in a sense. Even though she may seem like Eva's enemy, this is simply how Eva treated herself, so Dee is only acting like such. If that makes any sense.

There's also more too her personality wise, but I'll let that come out in the IC.~

And this isn't too weird. She's someone he can relate to on certain terms, so I think its pretty natural that he'd feel this way(The protective feelings, and comparing Eva to his mother, that is). Down the line I could see a brother - sister relationship forming between the two, of course that's only if you'd like for it to go down that path.
