Top three things your characters want in Thusia but either can't or won't get.

Fiiiiiirst impression.

I'm using my shirtless Ling icons YOU CAN'T STOP ME

Ciel wouldn't want just three things, he in general would like to be able to live a lifestyle suited for his position. Because while he can endure, he hates having to lower his standards, even if he can do it if it's necessary. Mostly he really wants good food again, but that's Sebastian-level good food, so it's not likely he'll get it unless Sebastian is ever apped.

Santa a couch, a bed, and a proper kitchen. He will not want to get any because gods and he is pretty firm on the idea of not asking gods for anything that isn't strictly NECESSARY, so while he's willing to get basic things like shower and bathroom etc, those are not things he'll get.

Ling doesn't have objects that he want, actually, and those he might want (some grenades, other weaponry stuff) he will mission for. Honestly what he'd want the most right now are actually Ran Fan and Fu, because he is full of guilt issues over failing to become the Emperor (even if he did manage to ensue his clan's safety), and even if he thinks apologies aren't enough he very strongly wants to ask for their forgiveness. And also all the feelings because. Yeah. Ran Fan and Fu. So they're the only thing he'd really really want but can't get. (app them)

FORGOT MY QUESTION OOPS. So SHIROE what are his thoughts on Thusia so far?

Edited 2012-01-31 12:06 (UTC)

SOTU for Santa. :o

Heee's pretty ambivalent about the place. He is finding out that the things he hated the most about his own world are just... not present at all and that Thusia is a lot less limiting in some ways. On the other hand he's being stupid and taking the warning about the Gods way to literally so he thinks the place sucks from a commodity perspective and it sucks as a home. Most likely someone will need to smack him for being stupid, and then he'll actually start dealing.

He honestly doesn't think these gods seem too bad as they are though? But humans gradually giving more and more power and control to the computers is where things went wrong in his world so he is suspicious about it. He's also having a hard time wrapping his head around the idea of gods and magic and everything inbetween.

People wise he doesn't have any strong opinions yet, aside from the fact a lot of people seem to at least be able to think for themselves and are interesting to talk to, even if he still ends up being a brat at them. ...He also thinks Aerta is like the coolest person ever. SHE MET FAIRIES.

Will Santa be happy to see sister again? (Also thoughts on her dying anyway despite good end)

I don't have a smiling shirtless icon so you get this one

Kakashi actually is actually winning a lot of points really fast with Ling. He got him interested in him right as soon as he mentioned (and explained) being a Shinobi, and then when he said he can COOK BASIC THINGS, which is pretty much why he decided to stick with him right away. And his ninjutsu got him even more interested, so while the only technique he genuinely wants to learn is the shadow clone one, he's really interested in everything surrounding it. OVERALL HE THINKS KAKASHI IS AN EXTREMELY INTERESTING PERSON. And gosh, as I said in gchat somehow, Kakashi keeps winning points over by... being a dick.

The discussion they had about what being a Shinobi means, pretty much, had an especially big impact on Ling since the whole discussion hit close to home for him. And the scolding really reminded him of Fu and Ran Fan (but Fu especially) a lot, and that won an insane amount of points for Kakashi. Basically he kind of just keeps doing and saying Ling is actually needing right now! Ling gets very carried away when it comes to his people and his ideals, even unreasonably so, and while he does sometimes realize it, it's not something he's willing to change because it's damn important to him. But he does need someone to scold him and make him understand certain things. But more than that for him, the presence of someone who is kind of like his vassals, is very comforting after his death. So yeah, Kakashi speaking like Fu would was something that filled him with Feelings. And then making him be the bait! I said it in gchat, but Ling preferred that anyway, because right now he is in a bad mental state when it comes to people putting themselves in danger for him. Even if it wasn't for him but a teaming effort, having Kakashi be the bait would have put him on the edge since he's pretty much just burying and ignoring his feelings over his death, and something like that would have had him agitated. So yeah, pushing him forward and making him be the bait? A+ move.

TL;DR he actually is really liking Kakashi and will follow him around and nag him a lot.

REVEEEERSE

I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION I'm just here to say we should thread, Ciel 8U

Santa is actually not doing all that well. He hasn't taken dying like that well at all, and seeing how so many Sabra people are in Thusia, especially those who actually left the place, is making him all kinds of worried. He knows Akane might not have made it at all with him being dead, but the thought that Akane might be doomed to die either way even in a timeline they did make it is really upsetting for him because he's pretty convinced he doomed her by going to Sabra. And if there's a thing Santa keeps collecting it's guilt issues, and this is just yet another one to the pile.

He is very much feeling like the worst failure of a big brother, and he might not show it, but he's feeling incredibly moody and really kind of angry over everything, but mostly at himself. The worst thing is that in Thusia he doesn't even have an actual outlet, not really, so he has no way of letting this go and it just keeps building up. And even if he did manage to get some of it out (Blaze is here now and hey, sex isn't so bad for that) it would only be temporary. The whole idea of FAILURE just keeps hanging over him and it's kind of eating him inside at this point.

He is holding on the idea of defeating the gods here and going back to Sabra, but in all actuality he is starting to believe it's possible less and less. So while he talks about doing it with determination, for the most part when he says "we will do it" he's actually more trying to convince himself. This doesn't mean he won't try anyway, because it's Akane's life on the line and he doesn't care if it's hopeless or not likely, he's going to do it anyway. But it does mean he is in kind of in a bad state mentally. It really doesn't help that the past experiences in Sabra have been awful, he was already very close to a breaking point back there, and coming to Thusia just pretty much denied him any closure whatsoever. This is why he got so pissed at people saying "I'm sorry" or talking about the other timeline like, what, he should be happy another him made it or something? He just did not take it well.

SO YEAH. Right now Santa is kind of a mess, feeling like he's a giant failure, and prone to extreme moodswings. He will do his best to hide it and just pass it off as dickery but yeah, he is angry and bitter and everything is terrible. That being said, he's not the type to mope around, he wouldn't allow himself to. He's not even admitting his own feelings to himself actually, he's just saying "I'M JUST PISSED" because. feelings.

SAME FOR MITSURU BECAUSE I AM CURIOUS

you don't have a question so no shirtless ling icon for you BUT YES WE SHOULD, TAG IN THE MINGLE POST IF YOU HAVEN'T I WILL TAG YOU

Mitsuru... well, he is Mitsuru.

He dislikes Thusia because a.) things seem too nice and he just KNOWS the other foot is going to fall. He wishes it would just hurry up and do it already. At least in Sabra everyone knew where things stood. b.) There is no space, and he can't go off and be alone the way he used to when he needed it in Sabra. That, more than anything else, is wearing him down surprisingly quickly. c.) People are dicks. That is true anywhere as far as he's concerned, but between his thread with Izumi in the intro and Becca spreading rumors, he has his hackles up. d.) The people he likes can't get his back, because they can't... fight. He won't stress about getting food for four people, because he is Mitsuru and he was on Orion, but he is having worries about things like one of the random dicks in Thusia coming down the hall while he is not there and knifing his people. :(a

He is holding strong on the determination front. Considering he very nearly pulled off what everyone said was categorically impossible TWICE before arriving in Thusia, he is not so fazed by hearing from all fronts that what he is trying to do is categorically impossible. He was really hoping to hear a bit from Kain about the "how," and the fact that Kain told him it was impossible, too, shook him a little- but it's going to take him probably at least a few months of finding nothing before he starts to falter. When he DOES, he is going to be a in a really bad place, but until then, he will cope the way he always copes: by setting himself a path and plowing forward. That was part of the reason he more or less refused to entertain what Santa was saying about the wish not being permanent, and refused to worry about it. He is going to focus on dealing with what he can deal with right now, and the rest can wait for later.

Also, he seriously wanted to smack Aoi. A lot. That picture, where the caption is like, "I CAN'T SLEEP, SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET." That was Mitsuru. But in real life.

EXPLAIN TIMELINE FUCKERY FOR ME, because I honestly don't understand how Santa going to Sabra messed anything up. He was safe end anyway, right? It shouldn't have been the him from that timeline that June needed. :|a

BUT 8(!!!

... I'LL TAG AFTER CLASSES I can awkwardly explain the large red blob in our apartment suddenly.

First impressions? |D

Now I kind of want to shop that picture with Mitsuru's face on it... It is a beautiful image.

I think timeline actually doesn't really matter, because June has the convenient reset button so you're right in assuming safe!end Santa is not the one June needs (I THINK!?!). But Santa doesn't have all his memories, so he is going by what he and June discussed together. He actually knows he's not being entirely reasonable re: his guilt issues, but it doesn't matter because he needs to grant her her wish of being happy together for a long time and if he can't make it he sucks o9"

How will Mitsuru react when he will go back to normal, after being a kid for so many days?

I'm too lazy to log in Ling's account just for a shirtless icon so I guess I will be serious with my icons now.

There isn't actually much to say, because Santa was just being a dick to Revan that didn't leave much room for a big impact either positive or negative. He kind of started talking with him like, thinking already "I don't care about this funny-dressed douchebag". He was surprised that he recognized Orion's uniform, and that actually pushed him on the wary side a bit, since wtf Sabra person I've never seen before (though he obviously realized he just must have been from before Santa arrived).

DO YOU PLAY OTHER CHARACTERS AND HAVE I THREADED WITH THEM, MY MEMORY SUCKS

But reverse!!!

Yes and no. Akane is Akane so having her around is a good thing for him, but he cannot honestly be happy about his important people being in Thusia because it means they're dead. He would honestly have rather woke up in Thusia alone, and while working with everyone is convenient, having them there is a constant reminder that they died and so that he couldn't protect anyone. Akane is the most important person in his life, so this all applies like, five times over for her. And it doesn't help that it'll add to his already impressive "failed to save sister's life" pile. It's going to be especially bad knowing she's after the good end because he made it and she died anyway and that just sucks.

On the other hand being able to talk with and hug his sister and everythiiing will definitely have a positive effect on him, because again, Akane is the most important person in his life and while he is starting to get other people he cares for, it's all very complicated and he has a hard time accepting the fact he cares to begin with. With Akane Feelings are awkward but more in the sense that "I'm a tsundere damn it", because while he tries to keep the cool brother image, I think he's very openly affectionate with Akane. So yeah, getting feelings out, even if in small part, will definitely help him. And also let's face it they are kinda codependent.

LIST ME ALL THE CHARACTERS YOU'D LIKE TO APP

SOMEHOW I NEED TO PLAY WITH YOU MORE

or, you know. at all.

8'(

... you do I think we legit haven't threaded yet in Thusia what is this blasphemy.

We had like a four comment thread with Santa and Aella, so I don't think that counts.

Yeah that is short 8( LET'S THREAD MORE

I'll try to jump Ling sometime. ♥ OR YOU CAN JUMP ME. Or both.

Okay fine here is a shirtless icon for you too

AND YES introduce him to Bob :'D

I VOTE FOR BOTH

EXCELLENT

You are completely correct. ICly it was a matter of the issue being discussed when neither had very many memories, OOCly... that was me speedapping June and trying to come up with a logical reason for her to be in Sabra, which in the end turned out to be totally illogical :/ In all honesty, I still have no clue why she would have gone to Sabra unless something outside messed up her plans, Safe!End is part of her winning conditions after all. I think I had some really odd logic about judgenapping affecting more timelines.

[Sitting here thinking about it for five minutes]

I think it would probably be possible to make a case of whatever Judges appeared for the 999 cast messed with the Morphogenetic Field. I can see that happening if it was Clockmaker or Messenger or someone similar. If interference was blocking the field, she would have no choice but to look for another solution and the Judges could have told her Santa already took the deal making her message tube not be a contradiction. Basically the problem wouldn't be Santa leaving, it would be Judges appearing.

Is this okay, Santa?

NO QUESTIONS, JUST ANOTHER "WE NEED TO PLAY SOME TIME" COMMENT go go random icon
