I WANT TO DO THE QUESTION MEME

stigmateyesRyner's life is the suck and he would seriously HIT Sion if he wasn't guilt-tripping right now, and Zero thinks Aather is beyond stupid but is perfectly happy with his role as a knight and is making grate friends with vampires and other assorted crazies. SO LET'S QUESTION MEME.
As mentioned above, I play Night/Ryner and Thorn/Zero.

Date: 2011-04-04 12:57 am (UTC)Tell me Thorn's thoughts about Maze's relationship to Alice?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 01:09 am (UTC)As far as Alice, IT IS PRETTY DAMN WEIRD TO TALK ABOUT LISTENING TO SOMEONE'S HEARTBEAT. That said, Thorn is still working out this concept of feelings~. He knows he's connected to Daisy but doesn't really know if it's anything more than just friends. He was also pretty rough with her in his memory. That was the main reason he was questioning how Maze feels about Alice and whether they were friends? This whole maybe love maybe not thing is quite confusing to him. :|a But it sounds as if Alice is someone Maze really likes talking about and who is special to him so it's just... interesting to Thorn. Even if he finds the way Maze talks about her slightly odd. But again, Thorn doesn't have much of a comparison right now. |D
Maze's take on the whole Beauty/Mal debate? Why is he sticking with Beauty for now? Do his new memories make him any more likely to join Onyx?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 01:26 am (UTC)He quite likes Mal on a personal level, but he's sticking with Beauty because switching wouldn't give him anything that he wants. Right now, his loyalty to Beauty is more based on how much of a kick he gets out of placing himself in the role of "Beauty's loyal Knight". And all of what Mal's offered him so far are not really things that shake his enjoyment of the role he likes to think of himself in. Beauty also calls to the Alice-shaped hole in Maze's soul due to canon things, which is an additional incentive for Maze to stick with Beauty. I don't think his newest memory will shake his commitment to Sterling very much because he doesn't have any reason to not want to be Beauty's Knight, and his recent memory didn't really change that.
What memories are you looking forward to for Zero?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 01:34 am (UTC)Talk to me more about this concept of the "loyal knight" to Ace.
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 02:13 am (UTC)Basically his concept of "loyal knight" is based off what he was told when he first arrived -- serve Beauty, protect heroes, deliver food, give quests. That's his basic concept and being attracted to Beauty due to canon-things made him kinda. Romanticize that idea a little. However, his memories have showed him that he was a knight before and what he's learning about his previous-knightly activities have begun to modify his idea of what it means to be a knight, like being honest. His latest memory interacted with a previous memory he'd received and basically modified his basic concept to make him a lot less worried about being a terrible Knight in Aather, because clearly he used to be terrible at being a knight anyway. So if he gets told that he's being a bad Knight, he's...likelier to just brush it off because whatevs, man! Unless it was Beauty telling him.
What did Thorn think of his first game?

Date: 2011-04-04 02:37 am (UTC)Tell me about Maze's gun skills? Can we be target practice buddies later? :D
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 02:52 am (UTC)And we can totally target practice buddies! \o/ I just...hope Maze's aim has improved by then.
What skills do you want back? For either of your characters.
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 04:09 am (UTC)I want Zero's Bloody Rose skillz of course because Zero loev his gun. For Ryner, I both want Izuchi (his spam spell) and his analyzing magic ability. The first is more important to Ryner ICly because it's his least dangerous spell and therefore more useful. Ryner hates fighting at full strength. He's currently working to temper his laser spell.
Who is Maze closest to in Aather right now?

Date: 2011-04-04 04:34 am (UTC)Is there anyone that would seriously fuck Maze up if they showed up in Aather?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 04:38 am (UTC)Alice, maybe? I don't know if fuck up is the right way to phrase it, but it would definitely have a pretty big impact on him. Other than that I don't think there're any characters in canon who could really mess with him otherwise.
Reverse?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 04:48 am (UTC)Ryner: LUCILE. Lol Lucile would destroy his world, and he doesn't even remember him yet. |D But Lucile pretty much owns Sion's ass and is Ferris' brother. Oh and he HATES Ryner. So yeah, Lucile.

Date: 2011-04-04 03:18 am (UTC)Lol Ryner has HUGE issues with acceptance canonically. And his ISSUES + his memories have not helped that in Aather, although they are not as bad yet. Yes, I know that's surprising. But THEY ARE CLOSE. Anyway, Ryner does care about Amethyst and want to protect everyone on it. He just thinks... he won't be able to, ultimately, because he cannot control himself. He also has never really wanted to be that close to anyone in Amethyst because he's not sure how he feels about people trusting him. He doesn't think they should. Yes, he will do whatever he can when they're suffering or when they need him. But he doesn't think they should rely on him either. Especially after his berserker incident. That's pretty much when he decided he didn't want anyone on his team worrying about him. Or anyone really. Ferris and Sion got around this because they are pushy bitches. But yeah, it made Ryner very distant about himself, even though he would still try to reach out to them if they needed it. Put simply, Ryner wanted to care about Amethyst but not the other way around because Amethyst is important to him, but they're also too important to deal with his problems.
So yeah, he fled back into this mentality with his recent memory and was totally planning on tearing himself up about it alone. Or until his canonmates inevitably guilted/beat it out of him. But what Tide told him about Amethyst and about them being fully aware of the problems or others and accepting that... it struck a nerve in Ryner. Because Ryner isn't looking for comfort and reassurance or even forgiveness. What he wants is to know that what he is is all right. And Tide kind of offered that with saying that even if Ryner goes crazy because of his memories, he's still a part of Amethyst. And that the others feel the same way. Even if he's not really sure HOW THEY CAN. In other words, dere points achieved. Ryner has some sense that Amethyst accepts him and this makes him less likely to dodge them. He is still reeling with EVERYTHING, but he is feeling more connected to them at the moment. Hell, he might even starting sharing with them for once. |D
tltr; Amethyst tops Ryner. orz
Oh yeah, I want an update on Break and Ryner.

Date: 2011-04-04 03:45 am (UTC)But more specifically, Ryner has tried really hard not to trouble Tide especially. Not that he believes Tide isn't capable. Though in a way, there is the emotional fail. But more that he doesn't think Tide should have to deal with all of Amethyst AND his ridic issues. I think it's the leader syndrome, in that Tide has adopted that role, meaning that Ryner views Tide as someone who claims more responsibility. This means Tide has enough to deal with. The main reason he tried to leave the cabin in the first place is because he knew Tide would want to do his helper thing in some way and Ryner didn't want him to bother. But since Tide has to be a tag-along, Ryner was kind of stuck since he couldn't exactly bitch at him. Which pretty much sucked because Ryner knew he wouldn't be able to hold up under questioning, and it was essentially everything Ryner DIDN'T WANT TIDE TO KNOW. And at first the way in which Tide was taking it just made Ryner more eager to distance himself because it was too personally. But the comments about pulling away from Amethyst shook him some. And yeah, the offer of Amethyst's acceptance did so especially. Ryner is currently a bit conflicted because as much as he'd rather Tide not bother with this in the first place, he is grateful to him for telling him how things are. He is also a bit guilty about making Tide the "adult" again, especially when he knows that Tide isn't that hot with this comfort stuff. But as with Amethyst, the whole conversation makes him more willing to tell Tide things, as well as reinforces the concept of Tide as a leader. |D
All that aside, he's very interested in Tide having someone special in Aather now, especially given Tide's protective streak. And he'll probably be doing his own to look out for Breeze. Oh yeah, and yes he noticed the bite. But he is like "uh you just keep doing your thing man" because that so isn't any of his business and Tide seems pretty cool with it so there's no real reason to bring that up. :|b

no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 03:54 am (UTC)Thorn is... undecided. He is fully aware that Sword is capable and very very dangerous. But he also sees that she's not entirely a loose cannon. Also, Faith vouched for this and Thorn respects Faith as a leader so. That said, HE DOES NOT TRUST. And he will be on his guard. But he's not like OMG STAY AWAY FROM EVERYONE EVER either. Thorn has a more neutral view than Ryner. But right now, Ryner is definitely more dangerous than Thorn, should anything happen.
Sword and games. Which does she prefer? Does she actually care about them at all?

What is Ryner's biggest issue regarding Sion joining Onyx?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 07:59 pm (UTC)But really, it bothers himself that Sion, who is already doing less than well, has essentially thrown himself in the middle of a power feud and that Sion chose the most difficult side on top of it. Because he knows that Sion will want to organize Onyx since Sion has been whining to Sterling about it for while. He knows that Sion doesn't believe he can control the situation so it bothers the heck of him that Sion is making such a foolish attempt when he has no real chance of winning. He thinks Sion is in over his head and now there's no way Sion can back out of it. Which sucks because Ryner wants Sion to relax once in a while and now he worries Sion will have even less opportunities for that. In other words, SION IS STUPID and makes him worry. :\
Tell me about Ferris and Breeze~.
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 08:38 pm (UTC)But overall she wouldn't want to bully Breeze too much. She's a nice, caring girl.
Has Ryner made any friends on the new Teams yet? :3
no subject
Date: 2011-04-04 08:45 pm (UTC)Tell me about Ferris and Marie! :D
no subject
Date: 2011-04-05 02:10 am (UTC)She also gives Ferris affection! Hand holding and kisses and whatnot. Ferris is extremely unaccustomed to it, but she can't... really complain? It's nice. So Marie is partly why Ferris is much fuzzier in Aather, not that it'd take any of the :| off when she needs to be a badass.
Which personae does Ryner like/trust the most?
no subject
Date: 2011-04-06 04:42 am (UTC)it's not late, it's differently on time.
Date: 2011-04-14 05:12 am (UTC)Then they got to know each other better, and she started to understand that he was afraid of who he was. Seeing him scared and sad about that made her feel bad, and she justified it at first by assuming it's because broken toys aren't particularly fun to play with. Then Marie suggests that she might care for Ryner. So it's all her fault, really, for planting an idea in her head that she wouldn't have come to as quickly. In canon, it's just the two of them, and she didn't have any outside party to act as a sounding board and help her sort things out.
When she got around to getting the memory of the two of them locked in Sion's office, she gets that he feels she and Sion can't even to start to understand what he's going through and that he thinks that the only way to relieve them of the burden that is his existence is to RUN AWAY. Total 180 from the lulz of putting him in a dress, so it's rather shocking to her. Then Sion explains that AS bearers are mistreated and feared and she feels... rather guilty for being such a brat. Then there's the issue of why Ryner comes back despite all that, and Sion suggests that she might be that reason and also expresses hopes that Ferris loves Ryner (so it's also the stupid king's fault). She also knows that she and Ryner exchanged rather personal words, so that kind of goes hand in hand with that suggestion, so she's come to the conclusion that she confessed to him.
This, plus large amounts of guilt regarding his AS angst led to more guilt. Combined with the issue that she maybe-confessed to him, and maybe-loves him made her struggle over how exactly to define what their relationship is, how she should be acting within that relationship and WHAT THE HELL IS LOVE ANYWAY? It made her worry if she's abusing him too much. It's also what makes her feel like she needs to pull her own weight workload wise, leading her to offer to help him out with all the assignments Sion gives them. So when he tells her that they're fine the way they are, it's a very nice reassurance to her. It also makes her feel like things would be alright even if she didn't label exactly what they have.
no subject
Date: 2011-04-14 05:12 am (UTC)In a dress antics were fun, and it sort of did the trick of distracting Ryner, but it wasn't as effective as she would have hoped, which made her feel like she was going about it the wrong way. So she tried to think of things that would make him happy directly, instead of just diverting his attention. Except no one was particularly helpful and she couldn't think of anything Ryner liked more than sleep. This was probably the worst time to meet Adachi and have him tell her how she thinks girls should be acting. It was bad enough that she felt fail for not being able to come up with something to help Ryner on her own, but to have someone saying what Adachi said just exacerbated it.
Which led to telling Ryner all about it, whereupon he gave her the confidence boost and reassurance she needed that she was fine the way she was, which is part of why he's generally endearing. After Three's game, Kida flat out says he thinks she loves Ryner. Since she feels kind of fuzzy on what love is, she asks him what it means to him and comes to the conclusion that it's kind of like being friends except more emotionally dependent on a person and with more physical displays of affection. While she's wary of emotional dependence, she feels like she can't deprive Ryner of emotional support, especially when he clearly needs it and won't seek it out actively because he thinks he doesn't deserve it. She doesn't want to think of herself as someone who needs that support either, but it feels nice to have someone tell you that they like you the way you are.
And defending who you are to someone else to boot.
So Adachi coming up and apologizing to her on Ryner's orders was a pleasant surprise and an ego boost, because she honestly never expected him to do more than just go "that guy's a bother, ignore him." So that really was the icing on a cake that's full of very confused dere thanks to a bunch of shippers on deck.
