QUESTION MEME

[adharma]

OK I BROKE 30K I AM ALLOWED.

For Acedia, Aeris and Alexiel.

I also NPC Sleeping Beauty, Cheshire Cat, Dream and Three of Three and will field questions about them as well, though I retain the right to ~ * spoilers * ~ not answer.

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

Be consistent and continue to talk to him :|a . . . . HE IS NOT VERY DIFFICULT TO 'TOP' in a sense though he can also be an extremely evasive person as well. Cass is pretty much well on her way.

What is Cass's biggest fear in Aather and is it similar or not to her fear in canon!

[silentknight]

I would say her biggest fear in Aather is not being able to protect her team and friends sufficiently. This is different than what I think her fear at home is! I think her biggest fear in canon is killing someone again. This is especially highlighted in her altercation with a villain named Shadowthief. She accidentally takes the fight too far and is so distraught by the chance that she's done irreparable harm that she can't even perform CPR and Spoiler has to come in and do that for her. He ends up living but Cassie is so traumatized by the encounter that she just leaves to go brood. Even when she's 'rejected' in canon (when Batman fires her and tries to force to live a civilian life) she is upset but finds work-arounds. When she thinks she's killed someone? Total shutdown.

However, because of her development in Aather, the first real defining experience was bonding with a set of people (and the concept of Peridot) instead of killing someone, so that became the thing she felt the need to protect wholly. She still has a very strong aversion to killing people and is still really affected by that experience, but now it ranks slightly below "team and close bonds". She's worried she can't protect them like she should be able to and is having a hard time giving up to the idea that she just can't. Hence the near-constant atonement/sacrifice thing she has going. She just doesn't know how to protect them from goings-on and games, so she tries to insist on taking the brunt of things as much as possible-- even when it's not strictly necessary that it happen at all. It's kind of like overachieving to prove how much she would do for them, whether they like it or not. But she's also really horrifically scared of not having the opportunity to do that for them. She loves her team so much that if it were better for them that she not be involved, she would end up removing herself from the situation, but it would have to be very grave. She wants to do the right thing so bad… but sometimes her idea of the "right thing" is very different from the norm. Being rejected from the group would hinder her ability to protect them… plus she just genuinely likes her team and friends.

Who is Acedia's best influence in aather?

[adharma]

HMMMMMM. Now it's tough. It might have been Souya at a point and time and then Kaworu but right now this instant it's probably Dera! Because Dera is a good base and has morals so :B

CASTMATES COME TO AATHER does anything drastically change for Cass?

[silentknight]

DEPENDS ON WHO.

Steph --> Cassie becomes obsessed with if she's safe and if people are being nice to her and just genuinely really excited about everything and she won't want to tell steph anything bad about her to begin with.

Batman --> She'd probably switch gears to wanting to impress him and just generally be at his disposal. (he would be the best knight and someone should app him)

Barbara --> Cassie would probably feel a little strange about her coming because they haven't made amends in her memories so she'd be a little standoffish but very invested in her and interested in her safety and well-being.

Any other Batkid (aside from Damian) --> instacolleague. She'd involve them in intel and hook them up with Snake and periodically check in on them to make sure they're doing okay, but she trusts that the boys can deal.

So basically, in a lot of cases, it diverts her loyalty/attention to someone else, but in general she would just love it. PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE SHE'S COMING FROM.

How would Mukuro respond if Chrome showed up AND HOW WOULD THE ORGANS THING WORK IN AATHER.

[adharma]

TSUNTSUN AHHHHH PANIC RUN AWAY. Probably either immediately get dere all over her or hang back and not talk to her '^';;;;;

Organs... we could go either way probably :|a IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE CHROME APPER WOULD WANT TO DO TBH. bwuh bwuh I MEAN IDEALLY I WOULD LOVE TO spot her organs and then get a quest set up so that they could maintain some level of weird canon co-dependence but I am also all for her standing her own! So either option works for meee.

'-' so, when will you read reborn --

[silentknight]

When the story is summarized, leaving only the relevant pages of things I like and quickly explaining everything else.

Really though I wish it were easier to digest. Because I am INTRIGUED but ah well. My history with uber long canons is not exemplary.

I guess you play other people too. What castmates do you want?
