I felt like re-doing this since the other one is outdated.

( Permissions: Revised for Current Play )

For reference and since people keep asking what I've been doing with updated/end-of-series!Lelouch up until now, I am tossing up all his journal posts here in somewhat chronological order. Continuity you mock me at times. :( Also, it should go without saying that these are entirely MASSIVE SPOILERS.

Cornelia: Awakening
C.C.: Housing swap
Cornelia: Geass
Suzaku: Um... issues?
Kamui: Return
Cornelia: Euphie/Decision

These are the big ones, but I will add any others that pertain directly to the update plot.

-- I steal from the kitty.

I did something close to this for Setsuna a while back but it's high time I update.


Me: Nayami (not actually Japanese in any way or form; I'm just too lazy to change my handle from like years ago)

Playing: Mudou Setsuna, Lelouch, Kiryuu Zero, Keith Anyan, Toboe, Motomiya Daisuke and Kiba.

Available on: IRC, as Lulu, Setchan, Vamp^Zero, Keith, Toboe, Daiskukemon and SadWolfinSnow. But let's be honest, I'm usually on Lulu or Toboe. E-mail is nayami00@gmail.com or you can hit me up on gchat at Nayami00.

Timezone/Language: EST, English.

Goals: I don't do goals but as long as I remain in IC and do my charas decent justice, I'm happy.

Betaing: Best with canons I know. I'm pretty vicious and a flow/grammar nazi. I've chased everyone away, haven't I?

AUs: I suck. Nuff said.

------

Scheduling Issues: I can usually do 7-8 p.m. to 2 a.m. unless work has me chasing some big story in the morning. I do occasionally romp off to visit my friends out of the area during the weekends. They don't like me ditching them for a computer. Also, after 2 a.m., I am usually a slug but I'll still poke.

How I Play: I'm slow and can usually only focus on one thing at a time (playing, IRC, ooc comm, etc.) If I have to assess a character's reaction in more detail, I will be slower.

As far as crack vs. emo goes: I enjoy the angst A LOT, but as I know what camp's major purpose is, I try to play to its strengths. Lelouch specifically, can be a dark, angsty bastard depending on the nature of the conversation, but absurdity tops him hard, as does cuteness. Zero and Keith also have this issue but Zero is definitely the easier one to get on a crack topic. Kiba, I admit, can be a difficult one to thread with because he's not really a talker, but if you get him on a good topic, he usually opens up. He's a sweetie really.

Jumping: I love jumping. You can ask if you don't think I'll notice. I actually suggest this since my computer hates thread notifications.

Thread Dropping: I drop if I think the character would not continue the conversation further or if I just plain run out of time. If it's the latter, I usually have no problem with continuing later. I also drop threads if I'm in a response rut.

Comfort Levels: As Lelouch, I'm fairly cautious, but Setsuna can be a blunt asshole without realizing it, warn me if he's pushing you. He doesn't mean it; he just lacks tact. Keith can also be a vicious fuck so warn me if he's bothering you. Zero and Toboe should be fair game.

Concrit: I hit the concrit comm whenever I can, but I always miss out on the big Sunday rush so if you have anything you want to say, I'll make this nice and screened for you. I like trying to better myself.

Not doing the drop meme since they are all (except one) super safe. I'm a bit /o\ about my balance due to CFUW, but that's easily fixed. And the one... well I'm trying to avoid admitting it, but I will probably have to bite the bullet very soon. :( As far as me, I suffer from off-and-on burnout, which I usually remedy with some prose RP. Then I feel shiny again and want the quicker stuffs. I need to replace my two genderswitch icons still. :|a

Anyway, I like the other meme more.

It goes LIKE SO. You comment here and ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider raping you into apping, etc.

WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!

In this way we talk at each other, which is fun.

Explanations time!

First, OMG I love Lelouch being a wolf. It was a dream come true.

Second, so Nayami + Lelouch = SLOW THREADING. This has and will always be the case. :( Now if you add CFUW-plotting to the scenario, you end up with SLOW THREADING + CFUW!LELOUCH MAKES NAYAMI A NERVOUS WRECK. So yes, SLOW THREADING TO THE UMPTEENTH POWER also random disappearances to deal with personal spazzery. Long story short, I loved everyone who jumped me during this event and if I dropped your thread, it was only because of one of the above reasons. Especially Brook, Junior and Ricochet. :( I will try to pick up what threads I can. Of course the really plot-heavy ones will be impossible to pick up due to the loss of atmosphere. But it's very important that I stress how much I enjoyed playing with everyone, despite my flighty ways. Especially of course Biz for making Lelouch's life more and more miserable every second. o/

Now, I was going to do other explanations character-wise. But have since decided that bumps can be chalked up to Lelouch being a billion times smarter than this mun (the 4 hours of sleep each night didn't help either. orz) and the rest... well the intrigue of Lelouch is that you never really know, now do you?

\o/

Actually my only regret is that being caught up in playing Lelouch prevented me from having Zero or Kiba take on a hellhound. Much sadness. :(( It would have been epic.

And what are we doing for step two of this venture? If others have ideas, they might as well share them now. I would like to have several just in case.

I felt like doing a comment meme. Only with active characters though. I think things will always be skewed based on how long I've had my primaries, but it does reveal some fairly decent balance. \o/

Yay for Kyou!

Also lol Zero can never defeat Kiba at anything. XD Actually come to think of it, I think this poll sums up my characters' dynamics perfectly. Zero loses to Kiba. Setsuna loses to Lelouch. Toboe wins at everything for just being so damn cute. And Dai has no idea wtf is going on but yay. \o/

I'm delaying work since my stomach isn't quite feeling it today so I decided I'd toy with some musings in the meantime.

I'm posting this here since I'm not even sure Dai's journal is on the network and this is my primary so there. I've been trying to decide what to do about Ken dropping since I originally had intended to drop Daisuke when that happened, especially since the added lack of canonmates or digimon. But I do love playing Dai, as rare as it seems I do it, his whacky energy is a different sort from Setsuna or Toboe. So I'm torn. I do know that because Ken is Ken, I have to do some sort of fallout. Now, since it's Dai, he'll probably bounce back like IMMEDIATELY afterward, but I have to acknowledge it. Which is so hard to do, given the way I play Dai by randomly tossing him out to hyper at people. I'm not sure if Dai actually has more than a few actual relationships at camp, but getting him to chat with one or two might help me out here. If I lose the zest after that, then yeah I'll have no regrets for dropping him. If I figure this out, I might even do a Digi-canon pimping post. But yeah, I don't want to drop a character that is still fun for me just because of the whole partner thing bleh.

Help?

[Having left his sister in the company of those he deems trustworthy, Lelouch waits by the outskirts of the woods, nearer to the barrier than most care to venture -- probably for fear of accidents. He appears in better spirits than he had the other day and twirls one of his chess pieces idly in between his fingers, as he mentally counts down the minutes. Lateness is a non-issue.]

My fandom sucks balls. Have a late meme.


First, SUDDEN DEATH ROUND FOR POLL.

Poll #1442864
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 12

HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF

THEN, MEME TIME!

Comment here, listing your characters, and which of my characters they know. I'll reply with an affection~ meter~ to let you know what how they feel about you.

In terms of progression, it goes red --> blue --> yellow --> pink, with 1-5 dots signifying how close you are to moving to the next level. The base colour varies depending on the character. IT'S SUBJECTIVE and pretty. And if you get anything in the pink range, chances are, they either love you madly, consider you an incredibly important nakama, or want in your pants. Or all of the above!

Warning: I am too lazy to expand on these so you get the picture and can go from there. You can ask if you want more details.

As Nunnally is DEMANDING, I will give baselines.

Setchan: Yellow
Lelouch: Mid-Blue
Zero: Blue
Toboe: Mid-Yellow
Daisuke: High Yellow
Kiba: Blue

I protest against the HMD meme coming so soon after our last concrit burst. That is all. Then again, I am of the mind that concrit posts should be quarterly or even every three months things. We have our individual crit posts and the comm after all. o/

Carry on.

I apologize for being completely devoured by CFUW. If people are still up to threading with mine, I'm totally willing to start threads with you. This would be:

Allen, Klan, Ryoji for Lelouch

Elizabeth, Ichimura, Ronan for Kiba

Akira, Repliku, Cloud for Daisuke

Miharu, Kirima Nagi, Haine for Toboe


I will also probably pick up the threads in Kiba's shaymin post. Ping me if you want to pick up any of Toboe's dropped threads from Monday or so.

[This late at night, most people would be sleeping contentedly in their cabins. But as such sleeping hours and Lelouch have long been beyond speaking terms, the hour finds him busying himself exploring the darker parts of camp in search of new information. Current location: the swamps. And though his goal is to analyze his surroundings, his attention is not entirely with them, as it has not been for several weeks.]

Oh, pertaining to that whole essay mess the other day. I forgot to post this.

Guys, you are totally allowed to call Lelouch on anything you catch/find out. I have no preferences. There are only two exceptions: the fourth wall and the Geass because that's tricky and it's damn near impossible to catch for someone who doesn't know what they're looking for. When it comes to the Geass, if your character would actually DO something about it, please let me know. Other than that (Britannia, his being a prince, Nunnally being a princess, him being elusive, any piece of canony info that you glean IS YOURS TO DO WITH WHAT YOU WISH.) I worry that sometimes Lelouch's secretiveness makes players think that *I* don't want people to pursue certain things. On the contrary, I love messing with him. He will just react ICly.

This same permission goes for Zero and the wolves. If you know Zero is a vamp, feel free to tell him. He's more civil about it now. If you know Toboe/Kiba are wolves or can sense things, feel free. Just let me know so I can icon/describe accordingly. Keith too if you figure anything out about him.

I think Setsuna and Daisuke are pretty much heart-on-their-sleeves types so catching them is obvious.

In general, do not be afraid to invoke knowledge of canon around my characters if it has otherwise ICly come up.

Today's essay is VERY LARGE. It is part relationship meme for Kamui and Fuuma and part analysis of Lelouch's current SOU. The one thing you want to remember and that is key to this essay is that Lelouch is NOT sane. Not always violently or dangerously so, but the fact remains nonetheless.

( Your Guide to What The Fuck is Up With Lelouch, Kamui and Fuuma )


eta: I fail and forgot Shirley in the list of people Lelouch loves, but that's more in a semi-romantic sense so it's different from the majority of this essay and I can't be blamed. :(

I might pimp this later; I might not. But most of the boys have hit their 1K mark and Kiba is floating somewhere around 800 so ANYTHING MEME TIME. Sob I'm probably going to have to essay on Lelouch thanks to SOMEONE. >> Possibly Setsuna too, who knows.

Setsuna/Lelouch/Zero/Keith/Toboe/Daisuke/Kiba

From this post:

-Kawaguchi P talks about the timeslot change and how it altered their original plans considerably. They had written up until episode 3, but had to discard and redo everything. At first, it had been decided that the winner in the showdown between Suzaku and Lelouch was going to be... Lelouch º__º'' (I didn't know this. Has it been shared before, when there was that discussion about the original plans for R2 being completely different? Maybe I missed it lol). Both FukuJun and Daichuu think it's more logical that Lelouch lost a fight in which he needed to use physical strength, plus Suzaku would be able to dodge any bullet XD

-After it was decided that Lelouch should lose that fight, their initial idea was to have him stay inside a cell during the day and make him escape and act as Zero during the night, but such maneuver wasn't very Lelouch-like because it also required being active and energetic (lol Lelouch you shall forever be known as the weakest anime character ever). Therefore, the Ashford Academy became that "cell", and as they needed somebody to keep watch on Lelouch, tadah! Rolo was born =D. That's right, Rolo owes his existence to Lelouch's lack of stamina! lmao
