OOC Announcement

I think this has been a long time coming, and I'm sorry for not giving much warning for this other than now.

But I'm transferring this blog to a semi-private account. I can't dedicate the time to a fully independent account any longer, and I feel like I'm cheating you guys for even trying to.

It sucks, and I feel guilty for doing so, but I know it's time. I miss rping more than anything, but I just can't dedicate the time I used to. I'm not going to even make believe that I can anymore.

You're more than welcome to follow the new account. In just a minute, it'll have this same url, as this'll be changed with an archive in the name. However, I'm going to be selective on who I follow back. This is to ensure I won't feel overwhelmed again. However, you're still welcomed to following and talking to me if you desire to.

I love you guys, and I wish you luck in MERP.

Take good care of the community!

You know, the best liars lie to themselves the most often. I think that's the scariest part about it.

[Aha guys I know my last post mentioned some stress involving rping, and while it’s still kinda true, my absence has another reason. I’ve been apartment hunting. Still kinda am actually.]

[But yoooo, so I’m on Destiny for the PS4, and would love for myself or others to just group up or something sometime. ]

My PSN is clerkphilosophy and I play a hunter. I probably won’t be on today (work/going to Dad’s/another apartment tour), but I’m definitely gonna be on tomorrow.]

give me a reason you DON'T rp with me.

[Hey, guys, I was talking to my friend about it last night, and I'm going on a semi-hiatus. I won't go into details. Just that I'm starting to think of this as stress and a job, rather than something to enjoy. I need to figure out how to fix that.

Sorry about that.]

I probably already ship it

not that I deliberately start rp’ing with people for the purposes of shipping, but if there’s chemistry, if there’s interesting interaction, then yeah, I probably ship it

you don’t have to ship it too; it’s fun to torture the muse with unrequited feelings okay

[rpmememaker]

Put "Who hurt you?" in my ask, and my muse will truthfully tell yours about someone who negatively impacted them!

[playingwithashadow-archive]

All are welcomed! If you're feeling bored or anything.

[playingwithashadow-archive]

[Don't feel like doing much today.]

[Anyone up for boardgame or cah pls help me I want to procrastinate on life so much.]

Everybody loves you

-laughs- Believe me, anon, I've made plenty of enemies over the years.

[playingwithashadow-archive]

Send for my character's reaction.

"No one loves you."

"You're going to die with no one to love you and no on to cry."

"You can't do this on your own."

"I can't do this anymore. Goodbye."

"Why would I ever care about you?"

"You went dark on me!"

"If only there was someone who loved you."

"You're a bitch!"

"I only stuck around to get what I wanted."

"Do you really think I cared?"

"You're a fool."

"Don't believe everything you hear, darling."

"I got what I wanted. I don't need you anymore."

"You're pathetic."

"I hope you die alone."

[playingwithashadow-archive]

Kinda. Parlor tricks aren’t practical usually, but well. You just have to know when it’s a good time to use them.

[russkiysamurai]

        Which is why I tend to stick with something I know will work.

[playingwithashadow-archive]

Mmm. You lack creativity, but I'll admit, you're efficient. -smirks- If you'd let yourself go a little bit, you'd might find something that'll make me happier than this.

"That’s the idea," she quipped with a side-ways smirk. He was still young though. It wouldn’t be fair not to go a little easy on him. "It doesn’t come easy."

Oh, he was quick to learn though, or at least to listen. “What are you fighting for?”

[worldhoppingwilliam-deactivated]

"It’s really impressive. Wish I could move like that. It would make things a lot easier."

William sighed and shrugged. “Fighting to live. Batarian slavers like to try picking me up when I’m on a colony. … That doesn’t go well for them, but I’m not sure if I should talk about it.” Given the discrimination against VIs, AIs, and other synthetic life in this galaxy, he tended to keep his virtual status a secret.

[playingwithashadow-archive]

"The errors aren't so bad if you have a teacher first."

The word 'slaver' slipped out of his mouth, and the smile slipped from her face into something colder, chiller. Lips curling. "Would you like to stop running? I've dealt with my fair share of slavers," she said, keeping the edge out of her voice. "Free of cost."

Do they have any verbal tics? Do they have trouble pronouncing certain words or getting their thoughts across clearly? and What are their chief tension areas?

[If anything that Kasumi has proven is that she can be almost surprisingly articulate. She knows how to play people, and language can be one of the most powerful tools to do so. If anything, it’s always been the accent that throws people off, and she’s received quite a few questions over it.

She’s given about four or five different answers about it, none of them really that verifiable. 

Any falters might come down to surprise, and usually, it takes her a moment to get her words back together if she’s thrown off. Her speech is often like a rhythm, and when that stops, it takes a while to get back to the same complexity.

As for chief tension areas, I definitely think a big point would be her feet. It’s a big part of her work, being able to climb, jump, get from one point to another. I think perhaps her shoulders as well— that more stress-related.]

Your character has been granted three wishes. What would they wish for and why?

[Ohhh this is actually a really cool question. It’s a bit of a shame that initially Kasumi would definitely be selfish with her desires. If maybe the genie showed up right in the middle of the battlefield, she’d wish for a dead reaper race.

I also spent a lot of time debating whether or not she would wish Keiji back. Some of this comes from her desire to see him again, but also the idea that she offers her partner— her best friend at the time— could still have a chance to live his life again.

However, I’m not sure she could bring herself to do it. A lot of it would come from her development inside this blog. She’d see it as a betrayal to her own words and to the people she’s grown to care about it— as its a sign that she’s never really moved on at all.

Mainly, what I could see her looking at is finding some way to give herself more power, some advantage that she can use to maintain her rank as the best thief. Part of this, I could see, is pushing for more knowledge, and intelligence, or something that would be impossible to get otherwise— perhaps teleportation or being able to phase through walls.

Her second wish would involve protection. Some sort of way to keep herself alive, to be able to keep fighting despite it all. Whether this is through some sort of ‘soft’-immortality or something a little more mystical.

I think the only selflessness would come with the same protection applied to the people she cares about most: particularly involving the Normandy. More than anything, Kasumi is afraid of death, either of herself, or the death of isolation as well.]
