WORDS

[respectorcist]

SPOCK

RECENT: Not much, actually. I am bad. I really need to get him out, meeting new people, and active again, because as a character he's been a little too settled lately. He's content in his relationship, and he's so private that he doesn't really discuss that, or himself, very much, unless it's with people he's already familiar with.
SOON: I want to shake him up. Somehow. Possibly enough to make him start snapping back to a more Vulcan personality, as usually happens. In TOS, his development is very cyclical. As soon as he really notices how human he's becoming surrounded by humans, he purposefully starts building up his personality again and is more stringent about his Vulcan roots. Basically, I need Spock to get into a situation where it would have been better if he had reacted and behaved in a more Vulcan manner. ANY VOLUNTEERS?

ROBIN GOODFELLOW

RECENT: Content as always to be a 24 hour party monster. I've been bad about getting him out, I need to start throwing him everywhere again so he makes new relationships Last month, I EPed him, and planned to follow up with a lot of his established CR, but ended up having to drop those threads because I couldn't justify tagging people back seventeen days late after my major health problems of Feb.
SOON: Might be getting a little shaken up, for once, from a tangential involvement in Castiel's plot. He may grow a little more sulky and sullen, as Robin has a wont to do when the universe has generally disappointed him. Other than that, he's always available to push pups outside of their comfort zone.

OKUMURA RIN

RECENT: Rin ended up giving a temptaint to Clementine and Kurt Hummel, which should be interesting to play out in the future. It hadn't really occurred to him concretely that it was a possibility that this could happen, and he's got to deal with that fact in his own way, and acknowledge what makes him different, which is never totally comfortable for Rin.
SOON: Working on plotty in which he gets monsternapped and Yukio and Dean and Castiel end up coming to spring him. This should have some long-reaching consequences, especially in regard to Rin's total discomfort with the idea of using his demonic abilities against humans. He doesn't want to seem like a threat, and it's starting to backfire on him.

LAFAYETTE REYNOLDS

RECENT: Not a whole lot concrete, but I've been trying to tag around the community more with Lafayette and to get him to know more people. Darrow is actually kind of relieving to him, so he falls into a holding pattern pretty easily Which isn't so great for play.
SOON: I think I'll toss him out to do some more outrageous stuff in the near future, maybe give him an EP this month. He's still going to pursue things with Hermione, and I also want to get in contact with Umi, Rayo's mun, to talk over some possibilities for Laffy and Rayo's soulscaping, since Lafayette still has that 'demon' he inherited from Jesus.

REMUS LUPIN

RECENT: RON. So that's exciting. I've tagged a few new people, but really, Remus is one of the ones I need to work on getting shit together for the most. I'm pretty aimless with him, I don't really know in what direction I ought to take him.
SOON: Adjusting to having Ron around, which he appreciates. Maybe sending him out to be more aggressive about meeting other people on the more supernatural end of the community, the other werewolves and the like. Remus' biggest problem is that his ideas about himself and what's appropriate for himself are pretty converse of most of the werewolves outside of himself in Darrow.

URAHARA KISUKE

RECENT: One of my busiest. As he ought to be, the meddling little twat. Recently, he's been helping Rukia to develop her zanpakutou's abilities, and also, working with Dean Winchester in order to give him spiritual powers of his own. As Uraharas do. He also hooked up with Rayojini for a chat, so that was interesting, because he doesn't have any of his memories from the game where he knew her last. Still, he's the sort of personality that accepts any truth when it's self-evident, so he believes in Rayojini.
SOON: ... he's going to make himself NPC kids. So that will be a thing. A morally ambiguous thing.

UZUMAKI NARUTO

RECENT: Not a whole ton of plottiness. He's settled into his relationship with Korra more fully, so there's still stuff to develop there, but it's steadier stuff than before. He's just been derping around and making friends, basically, which is cool, as it's his modus operandi. He's been quiet lately, largely I think in part because there haven't been as many good opportunities for me to throw him into other people's EPs since I got back from being sick.
SOON: I want to run a plot with him involving a yakuza-like organization, if anybody out there in Darrow-land wants to jump in on a plot about human trafficking and illegal gambling. Or fight yakuza.

TEMARI

RECENT: SQUAT. I haven't done much with her since her debut, because I got sick pretty much immediately after, and I need to fix this. She's been hanging out with Shikamaru and adjusting to life in Darrow, which is ... a lot different than life in the Hidden Sand.
SOON: Tag her into some EPs so she can meet people. She's one of my more understated personalities, so I need to tell myself I'm not just going to bore people to tears if I throw her at them.

S O O N

ABEL NIGHTROAD: I put in my app for this bastard, and I'm really looking forward to playing him. He's a science fiction character, but he's also a vampire ... who feeds exclusively on other vampires. He's also a priest, which will be interesting in Darrow, and he'll probably end up trying to run a soup kitchen/shelter. That'll give him a reason to stay connected to the community.

HC-IIIX 'Tres Iqus': Also a Trinity Blood pup, but I don't care, I want to app them both anyway. Tres is an android with a human brain and brain stem, and I really want to explore his character. Apping him is really half writing experiment, on my end. I am eager to see how he interacts with others and what kinds of relationships he forms, because his personality is ... kind of The Spock, taken to certain extremes. In his own words, he's not a man, he's a machine. His entire reason for existence is to be someone else's property. Which, of course, is concerning, and ought to be.

JAMES BROWN: ... pending the completion of Get On Up.


ANYBODY WANT THREADS? I am looking for threads for both March and April right now, not necessarily to immediately start or anything, but just ideas for character hook-ups or potential plot winding.

Comments

[thetinydemon]

SPOCK.

We never did get around to that thread with Neil and Spock, though that was really my fault, since it took me so long to put something up, and I think I linked you when you were hiatused again. Plus, it was kind of a nebulous, just buddies chatting randomly thread, and it would be cool if we could come up with something more concrete for them to be doing. So, if you want a volunteer for Vulcan stuff, I'd be down, but I don't know what you might want specifically.

[respectorcist]

YES. I want to do this. I misplaced the notif for the first start and ended up realizing it like . two weeks later. At which point I weighed which would cause me more mortifying bashfulness more, not tagging it back or tagging it back ... like a month late. Starting something fresh would be wonderful because I derped and dropped the ball on that one.

[goddamnbatman]

obvs Jim and Spock need to have a fight re: Vulcan buttholery

I just posted Jason give me murder children

I adore Kisuke I need more always

more later but rn I have to pee goodbye

[respectorcist]

JIM AND SPOCK YES

i basically want to give kisuke to everyone all the time

also i gave jason one murder child do you want two

[goddamnbatman]

all the murder children. all of theeeeeem.

Do you want to wait until Spock has had his Vulcan crisis for threads, or do you want to play dumbass housey things before that to remember the good times XD

[phosphor]

wrong journal idc

DUMBASS HOUSEY THINGS, I should tag back the thread we started before I had my blood clot actually ugh I suck, is it ok if you get a 17 day old tag or w/e

But we should do other dumbass housey things too.

And don't worry Jim the good times will come again, Spock's existential crises are cyclical

[goddamnbatman]

You can lateass tag, but also I require housebuildy, if only so this bullshit can come to pass:

[respectorcist]

I am so conflicted about these images. What is that terrible shirt, but so oddly attractive.

[goddamnbatman]

Also tell me what it feels like for Dean for Kisuke to be shoving a tiny magic shell inside of him :E

[warmandsad]

I would like Spock for Abby and also everyone, anddd Naruto for Finnick? And also everyone. For everyone. ALL THE THREADS.

[respectorcist]

Oooh yes, Spock and Abby should thread! I always like throwing him at Normals, he interacts best with them ... I think.

Also Naruto is worried about Finnick. And will probably be more worried after his thread with Jason. SO.

[warmandsad]

It was my first? thread in Darrow and will always be one of my favourites. :3

OKAY. I'm working out some issues with the plot, but I'm sure Finnick will be suitably ruined in the aftermath.

[brontesaurus]

Rayo is ridiculously all over the map with her feels about this conversation, and it's kind of cute because she's so, so bad with feels.

ALSO oooo soulscaping plans.

Also just seeing Tres on that list is making my brain go all, "Yeah, remember that robot girl character you wanted to find a better game for?" and I'm like "NOOOOOO!"

[respectorcist]

YES SOULSCAPING. I do not know if you are at all familiar with True Blood or its later seasons, but Lafayette has some kind of demonic entity acting on him. Canon has been fuzzy on what the exact nature is, but it's affecting him in a way such that when he loses control of his temper, it tries to .. basically force him to do things to 'avenge' himself.

THEY CAN BE ROBOT FRIENDS. HOW IS THIS NOT A GREAT PLAN.

[brontesaurus]

I am sort of familiar with True Blood, but mostly only with the vampire rules involved. BUT YES I love inner demons! Especially literal ones.

OH GOD NOOOOOOOOO. Srsly though it'd be interesting because Mattie's facing the same dilemna from an entirely different angle. She's entirely mechanical (and reliant on a windup key), but she was made with a level of intelligence that she fought to be emancipated and legally recognized as a person. The problem is, while legally she's a person and she wants to be recognized as such, socially she's still regarded as a machine and the property of the really sketchy dude who made her.

[gunmetalhound]

Tres knows all about sketchy dudes who made you, okay. He would empathize if he admitted he had empathy. I AM JUST SAYING. If at some point you want to go crazy and app a robot, I am almost certainly bringing Tres in sometime relatively soon. I don't knowhow sustainable he'll be long-term .. I hope he's very sustainable But I still want to give it a shot just for the mental exercise.

THIS JOURNAL IS HOW SERIOUS I AM OK.

[brontesaurus]

Mattie's definitely not sustainable unless she finds a way to be wound, and the sketchy dude still has her key (because apparently while she can live independently she's not entitled to what's basically her life support). There's like a two-three month buffer zone, but after that she requires a plan.

[respectorcist]

I had almost the same problemish when I really thought over how I was going to handle Tres. Normally I try not to app canon characters that have had very close relationships into small canon casts, but in this case, it works out for me to play both Abel and Tres. Abel is no Wordsworth, but because he's a machine, Tres can't do ALL of his maintenance himself.

So I'm probably going to have Abel taking care of those responsibilities in mostly handwavey form just for convenience's sake, because robot.

If you did decide to try to app her at any point, I have at least two PCs on my own roster who are decent with robotics and could potentially make her a new key and take care of that, being ... Spock, and Urahara. Who are both engineering-types.

[brontesaurus]

I might do that! I was really sad when I had to let her go because writing the mindset of a machine was fun, but she just didn't fit the last place I tried to put her.

Oh, also she's an alchemist. And her hair came from a dead person, because her sketchy creator had Issues.

[respectorcist]

this is actually terrible because I feel like Di and I are just looking for a good excuse to app Ed and Al Elric

[brontesaurus]

Ermahgerd.

[dsneyvoice]

I would actually love to thread Spock and Saffron, partly because she misses her friendship with Jim and would hope that if she got in good with Spock he might start talking to her again >_> She also wants to get to know him on his own merit, though!

Always want Robin and Saffron, of course. :D

Woooooould you be okay with a double tag from me on Lafayette's EP, whenever you put that up? I want to thread him and Saffron, but I also would like Zuko to meet him because he is completely unlike ANYONE Zuko's ever known. XD

I really enjoyed Kisuke & Saffron's thread, so would love to thread them again!

Zuko would be up for fighting yakuza!

[respectorcist]

Zuko must absolutely come help fight yakuza. I will make sure to get back to you on that front when I put the plot together a bit more! And of course I welcome double tags for Lafayette's EP

Spock might not actually be a great choice for being too friendly with where I think I'm going to be taking him in the next months. I really want him to shut down a little bit, after I figure out plot to make that happen, as part of his own character growth, so he's probably going to be a pretty chilly guy, so I'm not sure he'll be the best in for anyone to go through to have a closer relationship with Jim.

[ravenrants]

Can I assume that Church got a job at Semele's?

[respectorcist]

Yep! Although with the forewarning that Robin is a pretty stringent boss, and he expects his employees to be really good at their jobs, whatever they're doing, so he'd hold Church to the same standards as everyone else and might ICly can any of his employees if he has a reason.

[ravenrants]

Could be worse, could've hired Caboose. Church promises he'll be on his best behavior or Helen will kick his ass.
