Yeah. Actions have consequences to them.

It's like Witcher 3 all over again!

Holy shit. Holy. Shit.
Holy.

Shit.

What in the love of all ever-loving gods just went down?
I step out for a few hours of work, and I see that Yeshua has already killed another one of the cadets - and then a few minutes later, actually didn't, but is still being tried for that.

Good christ, man.
And I haven't even gotten the chance to work on another post.

What I don't understand is how people are thinking Cass did something wrong in all this. I was all up for Koehler dying. I don't give that much of a damn. In my opinion, it was a completely perfect sort of ending. Maybe he actually died, maybe the future of medical technology brought him back. but if he was brought back, that event would've changed him forever. He'd be an entirely new man.

But yeah, whatever. I'm not severely disappointed. I mean, it's not like I wanted to see what I could do with this material.

Edit: Y'know. Sorta wanted to go all DARTH KOEHLER. That would've been so fun.

@LHG100
You were both equally responsible for this. Besides, you can still go with the new man idea.

Hmm...maybe that's why I'm so upset. This all went down while I was at school so...

Wait a minute...

@LHG100 Is this why you backed up my piano thing with that sad-ish piano song? Or, like, a by-product? Related at all, really...in any way?

Also, not blaming Cass. I'm only talking characters.

I know that, we both did this. It's just that things happened like this all the time in Evangelion, right? I thought this was totally in line and it would've been so good, so I'm honestly very frustrated that you don't like it for reasons I still don't fully understand.

I mean, I feel as if you placed me in a sandbox, and I made a cool sand-castle with someone else, and we wanted to knock it down, but as it went crashing down you held it back up and were like, "No. It has to crash how I want it to.". It's our sand-castle, and it doesn't harm your sandbox, so what are we doing so wrong? We'd clean up afterwards if you just asked. And now it looks shitty in comparison to what we got going.

Sorry, but that's where I draw the line in the sand. Taking your sandbox metaphor, the RP is the sandcastle built by all; while I was fine with a tower or two falling off it (the fighting and insanity), murder was kicking the whole structure down.

It just feels so jarring. You'd think there would at least be a bit more escalation to the kind of behavior that showed up (and I know realistically there wouldn't be so much of that). I mean, it's still the first day, we're not even close to our first mission with the Cruzi and we're already nigh-literally killing each other.

I understand all the circumstances behind this, am I'm not trying to point fingers, it's just... ugh. I don't even know, myself. Right now, I'm just waiting for a collab that I should probably give up on at this point, but now I don't know how to respond to all this. So much has suddenly gone down that I'm having trouble playing catch up and judging where and what Lora would be in all of this. But maybe that's my fault, more than anyone else's.

Yeshua would have actually been perfect for the Dangan Ronpa RP I did years ago; his behavior would have fit like a glove in it. But yeah, I'm going to sleep now, so continue on without me.

Oh yeah, it's still the first day! However, I think you could tell from the few collabs I've done with the rest of the peeps that Yeshua always had a problem with contact. He was shielding himself away from the world for too long, becoming too bitter and too cold. I wouldn't just write him breaking for the sake of it; I had no need to, but it just went with the moment. At that point, Koehler had just broken him by inconsiderate violence. If I remember, he was laughing at him while his face seemed to be melting. It was humiliating (remember when he kept saying he didn't want to be "weak", just like he belittled Elora?) and he wanted to prove he was strong, which eventually ended up with him almost killing Harold. It works, trust me, even though it's dark and nasty. I didn't sign up for this RP for giggles.

@Penultimate_Pi

Idk about you, but I was starting to think my character Alyssa would be in the recreational area playing piano in the music room and just say she went there before it all happened and be there, playing in the sound-proofed room, while it happened. That way, idk, maybe Ritsu or somebody comes around to tell us after the fact? Cause I have no clue if our characters should know or not...

Wait this is still day 1? That's already a lot of cadets to have cycled through...

You could be playing the Piano and hear a commotion outside, and go outside to see a flipped table, a smashed tray and blood on the floor. You could always talk to Lora about it and who you think could be fighting or just talk about Piloting in general. Yeshua tried to squeeze some information out of Ritsu about piloting, but it didn't work.

EDIT: Also, if I've made everyone feel ill and creeped out, I've successfully written a very creepy post. Manipulating people's emotions is the BEST!

...sound-proofed room? Some asshole apparently didn't like hearing people play the instruments in the music room.

And to the statement in your last comment, I didn't join this RP for giggles either. I joined for some awesome mecha action and deep, dramatic character relationships. The conflict between the two of them was inevitable, but I think it would've been better if placed after the time-skip-thing...

In hindsight, and foresight, I don't think I would've minded the death so much in that case. At least then it would seem a little more spaced out from the other shit with the MIA player characters, and in theory should be more impacting to the other characters. Because to newer characters like Alyssa and Orion, and maybe even to everyone except Elora, Koehler's demise wouldn't be near as important as getting rid of Yeshua. And, ultimately, his punishment could've been death at that point.

-

Also, you did make me feel very ill, as I have somewhat of a phobia towards the mentally-challenged/ill/unhinged. I was practically burning up with a fever when I read the post, which I guess is pretty good writing to me...for my level of tolerance to the sort of thing.

I was getting goosebumps.

I guess I did a good job then! (at making you feel ill . . . )

But this is just the end of the first (short) chapter, as the timeskip should prove. Yeshua's amazing lobotomy should herald amazing results, while Koehler's almost-dying should change him as a person! The next big hurdle for my character is going to be finding his identity; who he is, and why he's still alive. An existential problem all teenagers have to face.

Think of it what you will, but I actually cried so hard while writing that post. Music included...

And if anyone thinks it was unnecessary, blame the music.

-

Edit: Looking back, without music, I'm thinking maybe I got a little too into character.

Still found it sad, myself, though.

.....dammmnnnn.....things got serious in a hurry...and emotional...

I feel bad now for Elorna....she's probably going to feel responsible for THAT fight and near murder as well -___-'

At this point she could very well just develop depression. So, we currently have loose plot threads that prevent the time-skip from happening, so it's getting delayed until they are resolved, and the situation turns into everyday life.
