[OOC] My life as an Anime Character

[malmshodes]

I was getting ready to respond but I'm a bit confused. Whose talking in the hall? Did Azura's character meet up with someone?

[Corporal Lance]

Azura hasn't met up with anyone just quite yet, but he started calling out for me after he heard glass shatter. The people talking in the hallway would be Azura who is yelling in the hallway combined with normal morning dorm activity, so we haven't actually met any NPCs yet.

[Azura]

I didn't go to @Corporal Lance's room yet because I wanted to leave an opening for you, if you wanted to bump into me. Also the talking that you hear can be me and @malmshodes talking. The dorm that we are in will only be us in it. It's a small dorm that no one uses anymore, and was bought by unknown.

@Azura

OH alrighty! Now that I know I'll get a reply up after I get home from class!

[Azura]

I'm wondering about a few things @malmshodes. In a situation like this (anime colors, a location that's not your own, you not being you, etc), and you wouldn't be at all worried about that?

I guess this is my fault, but we only had our souls taken, by an unknown force, from this world. So having pictures from our world would be impossible, but again that was my fault for not knowing that I should have explained that.

@Azura

I'm not sure. Honestly I'll worry about the most random things, and then not care at all about others. There was a shoot out across my street(well whatever five gun shots fired count as), and other than the urge to fall to the floor I was the only one in my house not panicking. I was playing chess on my phone, and everyone was getting mad at me because I kept trying to get someone to play a game with me. Then again, I once had a panic attack because I realized I was going to have to retake an accuplacer test because of how long I've been in college without doing anything.

Oh... Mmm. Well, I could just change it so that the photos were anime pictures, but my character could instantly tell it was actually he's dogs and not just some random images of huskies?

As for explaining that it would've helped a bit since I'm still unfamiliar with the rules of this universe as I've only just started. I mean, to me it doesn't seem like much of a stretch that if someone can pull your soul out of your body and transport it into an anime world it wouldn't be too hard to take a simple photo and move it.

Also sorry if that comes out confrontational as I'm not trying for that. It's just kind of hard to right down why something was done a certain way with logical backing without trying to sound confrontational.... Which I'm starting to think is maybe part of the reason why I keep getting into fights with religious people t.t

Ignore double post

[Corporal Lance]

That's some good wordsmithing rightcha. I liked the metaphor about reaching into your wallet being like picking at a carcass, that was pretty creative.

The various levels of freakout across everyone is certainly normal, at least from my perspective. I'm pretty unflappable myself, I've kept up a strong front while being mugged once and detained once, I'm freaking out because I think I'm either dead or I've snapped. Personally, losing my sanity is a pretty damn big fear of mine. I'm not 100% here, I get intrusive thoughts and minor hallucinations sometimes, but I can tell the difference between a hallucination and a real event so it doesn't affect my behavior too much. Going all the way down the fucking rabbit hole terrifies me. Normally, and I've kind of already started doing it here, I'd be focusing on forming a plan, weighing my options, gathering resources, and putting together information while I compartmentalize everything and freak the fuck out later when I have control of the situation.

I'm going to wait my turn until y'all's conversation is over, going to still be hiding by the door just in case. You'll see me later, but I'll probably be pretty illusive until I'm positive that you guys are in the same situation as I am. Until then, I'd act natural and try to fake like I belong there. Not playing the part of a moe girl, but at least like I'm a student while I try to figure out what the fuck is going on.

[Azura]

Yeah, in most situations I would have the attitude that "if it happens, it happens", but for a situation like this, normally I would think it's a dream until it's been proven that it's not. I wouldn't say I would completely freak out, but I will be a nervous wreck. Same as you Corporal, I'll try to look for clues and try to find out what's going on first, before I move around. Like in my post when I read the letter, I felt weird about going to school again, but I had the mentality that whatever, happens happens. I won't live if I don't do something and the letter gave me my only option, so what else could I do. I would also feel interested in where I am. An anime world, who wouldn't be interested.

[Azura]

@Corporal Lance Glad you liked it. Does my characters seem anime-like?

@Azura

So far, yeah. You've got yer tsundere rich girl, yer shy moe-girl, and the lazy guy who's somehow the main focus. I'll admit, I fucking lost it at the "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"

[Azura]

Just realized that I forgot to explain Jin's looks. Guess I'll do that next post.

[Azura]

@Corporal Lance just wondering, but do you mind Jin having a crush on you lol?

[Corporal Lance]

I don't give a shit, dude. I was actually kind of expecting it, I've got Yuri's (chick who was me before I was) personality down pat to enable that.

See, Yuri was an upbeat and optimistic empath, someone who cares that everyone around her is happy and doesn't show anyone anything other than a dreamy smile. She's the kind of girl who gives her lunch to people who forgot theirs and goes waaaay outside of her own obligations to do people favors. She's a bit of a doormat and incredibly socially awkward. Yuri isn't shy, but she's a teen that acts like a little girl trying to act like a teen. She dresses in skimpy outfits that she thinks make her look like an adult and pretty, but she comes across as looking slutty even if she doesn't act the part. She's 17 years old and still listens to boy bands and collects stuffed animals and treats friends like children treat friends, like you should be friends with everyone and politics never come into play. Because of this, she's bullied by the girls she doesn't fit in with which causes her to try harder and results in more bullying. Yuri's well-liked by a good amount of people because she's sweet and kind, but anyone with a shred of jerk in them has made fun of her behind her back.

It's gonna be a huge switch when I come in. For one, I ain't playin' that game. No revealing outfits for me. I'm not going to bother with makeup at first because I don't know what I'm doing, my personality is pretty far off from Yuri's (I'm more cynical than that and my sense of humor can be pretty dark. Also spend a lot of time to myself), and I'm accustomed to telling people to fuck off. I don't know anyone here, either, so I'm keeping my distance until I can figure out who's cool and who's not and I'm certainly going to indulge in some delinquent behavior because A) I'm a grown ass adult so I'm going to talk to other adults like one, fuck honorifics, I'm just going to go to the fucking bathroom without asking, etc. B) I smoke a lot and drink on occasion and I'm not stopping that just because I'm a little girl now, and C) I'll probably take days off school sometimes if I think I need to get something done. So you have a cheery girl that wears cute outfits suddenly covering herself up, not putting on makeup, staying away from people, lashing out at teachers and other students, and acting like a delinquent. Everyone's going to think that I'm fucking depressed, and I don't blame them. Keep that in mind, it's a pretty big change from who Yuri was.

I'll introduce my own characters once we actually get to the classrooms, since I'm the only motherfucker in 3-D. It's kind of up to what happens if I actually decide to go to class right away or call in sick so I can get more information on who I am, the city, the school, and come in informed. Also cigarettes. I've been to Japan, I know there's vending machines for that shit and I'mma try to get me some.

[Azura]

Sounds good to me. My plan is, because the letter told us to keep a low profile, we pretty much do the opposite lol. That's pretty much, what's going to begin the main plot. When the time comes, someone is going to catch our scent, and that will be the true beginning, but for now we will have fun with the school plot. I plan on this rp to be dark, when the time comes. I don't hold back on who dies and who doesn't.

[Corporal Lance]

I've just noticed something for you to use if you want, @Azura. Look at Nana's description. Now look at the girl to the far left in the picture I picked up and threw across the room (the first clickable link in that post).

[Azura]

@Corporal Lance wow, didn't notice that. I see where you are going with this, and it gives me an idea for them. I also thought about something. We are suppose to be new students, but basic off your idea is that you (Yuri) have been in this city, so my thoughts are, and hear me out, but should this city be your hometown? The way I have the plot from the past is that our character's originals left with known then returned after said situation. It still works with what you are trying to do with your character, so maybe you'll meet people that use to bully Yuri, and that's when the change shows itself. Did that make any sense?

[Corporal Lance]

I kinda get what you're saying now. I assumed that since we were put into the bodies of other people we'd basically be dumped into their lives with their same relationships and all that jazz, have some people to "find us out".

For the hometown bit? Sure, why not. I'd like to play the "your body used to be someone else" angle, I think that'd be a pretty neat arc. If I were in that situation and figured out everything up to that my soul was transferred to the body I happen to be driving, I'd be pretty preoccupied with what happened to that person's soul. Besides, it gives the "having a different body" thing less credence, we might as well be cell-shaded versions of ourselves at that point if we're brand new and get to establish our own personalities before we interact with people vice being thrust into a unique position. I had the intent that those pictures were from some time in the past anyway, so that could work out just fine.

Yo @malmshodes, I'm lovin' your crazy metaphors, man. I might have some filler in later, but essentially I'm not doing anything but lying in wait and holding out until it gets quiet or someone tries to force their way into my room. If anyone wants to engineer it this way for convenience's sake, the door can be unlocked.

[Azura]

So I'm guessing you want me to post first? If so, I'll figure out a way to enter your room (that didn't come out right), so make sure you keep the door unlocked (I think I did it again). I'll post in the morning.

[Corporal Lance]

Yeah, I'm holding off for now. I don't have anything to bring to the table while I'm lying in wait. While in the interest of the story I should go out there, if I was being true to myself I'd be as still as a statue and wait for the noises to stop or to ambush someone.

Fair warning, I'mma put whoever enters the door in a choke hold... but it won't be a good one. 1.) Y'all are a lot fucking taller than me. That's a problem. 2.) My wrist is still fucked up. 3.) I'm not used to my new reach yet, and 4.) I'm a 100 lb little girl. I'll warn you ahead of time that I'm going to godmod the choke into completion, but it'll be the type of grapple you could just kind of shrug off.
