*   out of chara ;      if you're thinking of shipping with me / james , just know the energy around here is going to be very ...

ladies i'm tryin' to do my work today , * eh - heh * leave me alone type shift .

[ortums]

┃┃   └  *   ᵐ̳ .   out of chara :  ᵎ ᵎ   @krohft ,   🪑 : are they the type to leave early without saying goodbye ?

you mean does he do irish goodbye's ?   because that's how i'm taking it to be honest .   i think a james is the kind of person who definitely does an irish goodbye ,   if he's really in the mood to just not connect .   does he do it the majority of the time ?   no ... i think he's pretty social ,   especially at the young age that he's at .   it does happen on occasion though ,   i think it's only fair to give him that sort of acceptance to just go his own way .   i like to think he did it once or twice around the other double - o recruits      ( specifically around cressita and lennox ,   even though they literally share the same apartment ... )   other times i think james just does what james bond does .   he goes home with someone else ,   just so he doesn't have to sit alone with his thoughts for too long .

[ortums]

┃┃   └  *  ᵐ̳ .   out of chara :  ᵎ ᵎ   @2077smerc ,   🧨 : what would make them snap permanently ?

first i'd like to preface this answer with :      while james bond in * first light is a twenty - something year old with less than a year under the double - o status ,   objectively he's still learning      ( despite his skills / experience in the army / what he has learned . )   he is someone who can tap into his emotions ,   and by all means he is not entirely heartless .   but at the same time ,   he has had years and years of learning to hide them as a coping mechanism .    even if subjects are too sensitive ,   it's very rare that we will see him crack .   with that being said ...

i do think there are moments in bond's life where we have seen him snap .   in casino royale :   vesper's death ,   though it's not anger that we see but the way he completely shuts down .   not only did he just lose someone he loved ,   someone who he couldn't save ,   but there's also the element of betrayal .   in quantum of solace see bond completely spiral out of control in search of revenge .   acting irrationally      ( as m repeatedly tells him that he is )   sleep deprived ,   obsessed and acting out of grief and anger .   i think revenge and grief is an active reoccurrence through all the versions of bond through the years .   there's just some things that really hit's home and i think that's loss .

i think loss is the number one thing that will send james over the edge .   he's someone who has already lost so much ,   and for that to be a theme in his life .   of course that would make someone as emotionally repressed as bond suddenly snap .   in what ever capacity that may be !   

even if in the future content for this version of james ,   he does end up snapping permanently .   my question is :      will he get a second chance ?   is there some small hope that he can return to the light then refuse it ?

thoughts ꜝꜝ :    adding onto this post , i want to talk a little bit about james' grief patterns . grief isn't linear . it happens and it effects us in many different ways , as life moves on . in james' case there are triggers and unconscious choices that tend to be linked to his parents deaths . as he was justifiably effected by the event . in a way it didn't just happen to james , his parents made a conscious decision to ensure their son's survival ( in that a parents love is a sacrifice . ) he wasn't even an adult when this happened , and children process death and grief differently . so he grows up knowing that they died so he can live . if he wasn't there , they'd still be alive : their sacrifice has to mean something . constantly questioning whether or not his own choices respects their memory , or if it means anything at all to their sacrifice . which probably means a lot of his achievements are tied back to his parents .

he spends his life learning to attempting to control things . whether it be situations / outcomes , even trying to master chaos . if he can master it then he won't lose what's important to him . his hobbies aren't just hobbies but they're tools to be better prepared so he can never feel as helpless as he did .

┃┃   james bond is inherently an emotional person .

and triggers often force him back into a very emotional space , emotions create vulnerability and in a sense he cannot allow that side of him to be exposed . he isn't just a fearless and brave man , but a man who learned at a very young age that the worst possible thing can happen instantly . he doesn't want that to happen ever again , which leads back into his need to control everything and everyone around him . it also makes him reckless , self - sacrificing and of course ... detached .

concentrated pain felt dull in parts of his body .   he acknowledges it in some way ,   but it was as if he was apart from his body .   A PHANTOM EXPERIENCING FROM AN OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW .   james couldn't really tell what hurt and what felt bearable ... maybe none of it was ,   perhaps the adrenaline that coursed through veins was enough to push him forward   ( as he fights he does so without hesitation :      A MAN OR A WEAPON ?   did it really matter ? )   the city holds sound and for a moment it all went silent ,   like it was sucked out of the world the second the body hit the ground .   doe - eyed blue's watching the light fade from someone else's eyes ,   and it reminds him of the grief that he had buried .   deep ,   deep down ──      to the core of james bond ,   he remembers .

PROMPTS FROM 007 FIRST LIGHT (PART 1) *  assorted dialogue from the first hour of the game, adjust as necessary.

we need visuals and a status.

what sort of retrieval are we talking about?

we are under attack.

i'm looking at the thing now. or what's left of it.

you're still on a need-to-know basis.

i'm afraid that's classified.

what's that noise?

i need you to do exactly as i say.

you need an antidote. you've been exposed to a nerve agent.

what exactly am i looking for?

have a little rest and then get to somewhere safe. you've done great.

you just get out of the camp and sit tight.

i'll follow. see what i can do.

remember who you're up against.

now you start to worry about me.

what's the point, then? they're all going to die anyway.

i think some of the others are still alive.

you need to get out of the blast zone.

stand down. that's an order.

listen carefully. you have a less than one percent chance of success.

no time to hesitate. those people need my help.

that's where i'll find the captives.

hey, listen. we don't have much time, and we need to get you out of here.

what about the others? we can't leave without them.

you'll know when you see it.

i don't know how to drive this thing!

this should keep them busy.

you could have saved them if you had spoken up.

your friends died protecting nothing. what a waste.

listen. i already freed your friends. we don't have much time.

these guys mean business.

all right. time to bring the house down.

that should stir things up a bit.

what are you doing? come on! run!

light the place up! do not let them escape!

follow me this way. there's a way out.

what is this now? you want to blow us up?

i'm not MI6.

do you have an appointment?

you sound familiar.

gotta say you're healing fast.

so... i'm in trouble.

can i grab you for a second?

now let's not get carried away, [name].

you're really enjoying this, aren't you?

everything you need to know will be explained to you shortly.

i must say you're all taking this code of secrecy seriously.

you're very talkative, aren't you?

i do enjoy a quiet office. i'm sure we can limit the small talk.

i was unaware i was under MI6 command and i just chose not to take your advice.

i believe it's more a case of authority having issues with me.

look, i know where this is going.

do you mind telling me why i'm here?

i want to make you a spy.

i want you to join my training program.

it's unlikely you'll pass the test.

when do i start?

you're dismissed.

you have some catching up to do.

better get you up to speed.

judging from your profile i'm sure you'll get along splendidly.

your flight's waiting for you, so you'd better get a move on.

you're not here for sightseeing.

to do this, you need skill, discipline, and above all, dedication.

pure dumb luck will only get you so far.

i like what you've done with the place.

you really have a knack for stating the obvious.

i expect the list of things you don't know is quite extensive.

would you do the honors?

okay, show me what you've got.

i do love a challenge.

i think we'd be wasting our time.
