ASK ME THINGS. I will be picking at this for at least a week +A+!

uhmmm . . .

March from March Story '-' cos I did it that one time and sucked.

UR STILL RUNNING A HEART GAME RIGHT.

[adharma]

. . . He would actually understand it more if he was back to "use Dera cos he is easy" but . . . he doesn't think about it much. And he wouldn't care too much anyway. His closest relations in canon are people who follow him anywhere so '-'

Does Dera wish he knew anything about Acedia? Or what does he want more insight into I guess . . .

[badmedicine]

I GUESS SO? I am still terrified and also decided to run ANOTHER GAME right before it, because I guess I am insane like that.

YOU'RE STILL PLAYING IN MY HEART RIGHT.

[heliokleptic]

I... don't know what it will do to Dawn. He will probably have a temporary melt down because WOW THAT WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY AMAZINGLY HORRIFIC. Like, he is used to the concept that he is worth less than the average person, but in proportion to where he is NOW that is... actually a lot of worth. Because as he is right now he is like... so broken sob. It's not even that he DOESN'T HAVE FEELINGS. He still feels EVERYTHING, just his feelings have no value so he sort of brushes them aside without consideration and it's just. When he has his normal amount of worthlessness back it will be like WOW I CANNOT EVEN HOW MUCH THAT SUCKED '-';;;;;

But it probably won't help his overall self worth any, no. Particularly since it seems like Dera is going to blame him for doing something so stupid 8D; WHICH IS REASONABLE, just, not generally good for him.

AND I ACTUALLY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU HAD BEEN FIXED so back up and answer that question as if he was still broken '-'

[glorious]

hawt.

Oh gosh um. Very first impression was "You're old" which I think will be a reoccurring lulzy theme for Selenia during his stay here. (Especially since he does seem to be significantly older in comparison to many of the people here...at the ripe old age of 27 '40'.)

Not so very first impression: The people of Aather seem a bit...excitable, if their reaction to him was anything to go by. He can't quite imagine himself doing anything to warrant the 'revenge' Dawn warned him of, so he assumes there's either a misunderstanding or the fault is somehow on the other side. He's not entirely ignoring the possibility that he has done something to deserve it, but it's a distant one. It does mean that Aather's a dangerous place for him though, since theoretically anyone outside of Sapphire could be out to kill him for unknown reasons.

Overall though, there is something suspicious about beings powerful enough to draw lesser mortals in from other worlds, yet weak enough to break those heroes and then rely on them to save their own world. He is SUSPICIOUS but can't really do anything but ask around until he meets the Personae himself (and...realizes that it's a Personae). The hierarchical structure of the Heroes, Knights and Personae also strikes him as a bit odd, though again, it's not like he can do much about it. Especially not when he seems to be on the bottom rung.

In short: there are a few nice people around, but Aather is kind of a crazy place.


...So, Chesire Cat, what is your most favorite flavor of fish?

[adharma]

He doesn't think it's bad at all and kind of likes it though it's disorienting.

Are you trying to decipher my plurk from last night.

[heliokleptic]

...no. I TRIED for like five seconds... yesterday... then i figured they were just notes an essay or sth

HOW MUCH HAVE WE BACKTRACKED DUE TO YOUR FAILURE AT THAT VAN CONVO...

[adharma]

Jarred sunlight is his favorite! But fishwise he likes them marinaded with spiciness things or citrus.

Memory you are more excited for Van to get back?

[scalesfromeyes]

o-oh gosh okay. Hermana… never gets canon romance or anything. What she gets is canon CONFUSED FEELINGS-- she doesn't feel exactly sonly towards her son and it comes up in a few skits that she… would not mind dating him. Or kissing him. Or going out with him. '^' But she deflects very hard off of herself so there are very few moments when she pushes the whole "what about me?" thing in any sort of romantic way, because it's really obvious to everyone that he's fixating on another girl. So she does, once or twice! She's regained those memories and like… there's one where she's just like I don't really want to talk about the fact that you are crushing on another girl and he just keeps pushing and pushing and she just gives in because she loves him! Whether it's romantic or not, she just loves him more than anyone and wants him to be happy even if it's at her own expense.

Add to this a fine mixture of lots and lots of casual statements that imply a very appearance-focused view of what love is, a healthy dose of people going "ew!" whenever she brings up the fact that she thinks she might be crushing on Ruca a little bit, and a party member espousing a terribly unhealthy idea that women don't need jobs because they can just get married so she doesn't have to think about the future. (I don't think that's what he actually meant, but that's how she took it and walked away before he could correct himself.)

Basically, while her canon is really healthy at love and romance, it's not healthy at love and romance for Hermana. Any even remotely healthy ideas about romance come entirely from Aather, which is a damn shame, because she's definitely got a whole lot of very confused feelings jumbled up inside her that just kind of leak out into conversation sometimes.

ACEDIA and romance :D because I am a winner

[adharma]

. . . a lot. I MEAN ON ONE HAND ACEDIA FELT FEELINGS . . .

But you can see my reply to Lloyd for more feelings talk. How much have we backtracked on your side due to van convo ...

[adharma]

POSITIVE NEUTRAL . . . Tavros has default Ruby standing aka IT IS MINE I WILL SHANK YOU IF YOU FUCK WITH IT but no specific feelings yet.

How does Tavros feel about Ruby so far?

[adharma]

DUH. That is why I want you to run it.

So I can play in it.

. . . would you really have strapped to operating tables in your heart. . .

[heliokleptic]

Hrm... God idk. INITIALLY he was back to just okay i have no value to Acedia that means anything, I can't trust him to do anything for my sake ever '-' that rather hurts.

But AFTER THIS GAME that was just like crunching his self worth button REALLY FUCKING HARD i..idk. He might either totally forget that even happened or he might critical out at a lower self worth in all categories OR HE MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING AND HAVE HIGHER SELF WORTH '-'?

A lot of it kind of depends on how people deal with him while he's broken, I think.

But for Dawn ULTIMATELY it doesn't make a lot of difference. Their relationship would certainly be healthier if Dawn thought he had worth to Acedia but it doesn't really change his devotion to him or how he handles him so... it's also kind of the same.

so have just been replaced by dera again '-' is this my life... '-'

[immoetality]

1.

Thank you for dealing with my madness, AJ. All Persona CR, all the time.

2. C.C. got handcuffs for Acedia. ... How does he feel about handcuffs?

[adharma]

It's hard to say until Dawn is just unbroke. But Dera won pretty hardcore there against Acedia.

Though Acedia is going to have like. Minor emotion earthquakes for like weeks. Gawd. What are these secondary emotions.

Tell me about Peridot Peridotting itself in the game .. .

[adharma]

. . . he's positive on them. But it depends on the context.

Why did you get handcuffs.

[immoetality]

She couldn't do anything else, so she is preparing for the next time that she feels like sitting on Acedia . . . She might find some feathers or threaten to hunt down his chocolate stash depending on her mood once she's got him cuffed.

Are CC and Acedia still cool?

[adharma]

Yes.

The thing with Mukuro is like. He's a broken person who was just broken through to the point of fusing into something not broken. Like a square that was forced into the shape of a coil or something. But Acedia isn't . . . ever a person. He never gets there. He's always trying and moving and generally like . . . well, a kid growing up. Just with more issues and memories and stuff. He really just wants some moments of oblivion :'D;;;;

Would Katou bang Alexiel? Would Katou bang Alexiel if he knew she was remembering being Setsuna sometimes ...

[badmedicine]

:3 So have I ever told you about the guy I brainwashed?

[adharma]

If he can manage to look her in the eye again, yes. HE ACTUALLY JUST FEELS REALLY... HORRIFIC ... right now ...

Does CC guess or hypothesize about people in any way or just sort of rolls along with her subtle pokes and supports?

[adharma]

. . . no.

But wow your heart was made for my trauma me.

[witheyesofgold]

Hahaha. LEO RLY RLY LIEK ALEXIEL, she's pretty and smart and toppy and abusive and also she believes that they should BREAK THE WORLD'S SHELL and also she is already reading. '-' Really really positive overall, even if she had that fight with Itempas, Leo is used to Carnelian being wackilarious and also he figures they're both adults and they can sort their matters between themselves.

HAS SHE PICKED A NAME FOR HERSELF YET?

[badmedicine]

NTS: Throw Acedia into the lab.

[immoetality]

She didn't hang around for that reason.

Hrmm, C.C. is a very capable reader of people and outcomes. Funnily enough, she is a touch more systematic than Vincent about it, and does it to try to keep distance from people . . . Though, she can't just help liking people for being what they are, so she tries to figure them out that way, too. She has a lot of information and guesses about how the team is and so on, but she doesn't give voice to them. So, yeah, the pokes and supports are a planned action/reaction to people when she isn't just being moe and dere.

Acedia would rather hide in a hole forever than face the team, huh?

[adharma]

He doesn't have any real idea of "romance" or "love". Relationships are based either as unreliable or absolute. He has attachment issues. I guess . . . it is difficult for me to discuss romance because he doesn't have an idea of romance. He can sort of guess what others invest in it, but it is just silly and like wrapping paper to him.
