[oceansflower]

Erika hit a thousand comments last night! And Tavros hit eight thousand! SO, now it is time for a question meme because I love question memes.

I play Tavros Nitram and Marine/Erika Kurumi.

Wow these colors look pretty together. '^'

THE TRAUMA GAME... did not so much change any of Tsuruume's thoughts on Marine as confirm and flesh them out some. Tsuruume has been worried about Marine pretty much since she started seeming to settle in since Tsuruume thought that was too fast to really become comfortable in this kind of vastly unfamiliar environment, so she's been convinced that Marine just... hasn't yet grasped the full situation, and in a way the trauma game and its aftermath proved that to her in her head. She'll back off on guard dogging Marine for a while because she knows she's the one who upset her, so there will definitely be a considerably larger distance between them now, but while Tsuruume's fondness took on a couple extra shades of cynicism it has in no way been reduced.

Tsuruume issssss doing horribly. The trauma game wasn't as bad for her as I was expecting from a trauma game! Since it wasn't forcing them to hurt themselves (or Coral), she was pretty levelheaded all through it until the end. Except now the aftermath is just kind of shredding her stability. She completely overestimated her ability to cope with killing anything that isn't an ayakashi and is therefore. not coping with that part very well! And she feels like she keeps making stupid, rash mistakes and Heliodor keeps paying for it and at this rate the only thing keeping her from ritual suicide is her determination to get everyone out of Aather first. And FEELINGS. DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD TSURUUME IS WITH FEELINGS? SHE YELLS AT A LITTLE GIRL IN CANON, THAT IS HOW BAD. but now she caused feelings and feels responsible for fixing them, and like... at least Jet seems angry about it? Which is easier for Tsuruume to cope with than whatever Marine is doing that Tsuruume can't even like pin down in her head she just knows It's Bad and she doesn't want it. She still has no idea why she is the way she is and naturally it's bothering her way more after that whole fiasco, AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT BETWEEN TIGER'S EYES WELCOME DESSERTS AND THE MEATSKILL SHE KEEPS EATING THINGS THAT MAKE HER SICK. not that this is anywhere near as bad as anything else but it sure as hell isn't helping her mood any.

What are Marine's thoughts on memories :|a

[oceansflower]

Marine's just really good at adapting and trying to make the best of any situation, Tsuruume. '-'b She's also from a very shoujo series where this thing is not okay (I mean, they punch things out with love). She's really upset and angry, but she's still cooled down. :x She kind of angered herself out in the game though, since she did slap Effie and then flipped a table. There is just a really big clash of values going on re: the game pretty much and they should probably have a Talk very soon.

Marine wants her memories, but she doesn't want to do whatever it takes to win in games like that trauma game. :|a The "whatever it takes" should only applies in games where injury and death won't happen. There's not a whole lot to say with this right now, really.

How about Tsuruume. :|a

[redblossoms]

One day Tsuruume may learn that about Marine BUT UNTIL THEN SHE REMAINS AN ABSOLUTELY PESSIMIST IN REGARDS TO OTHER PEOPLE. but yeah that Talk. We. We need that Talk.

A huge reason the fallout for that trauma game even happened is because, as she is, Tsuruume doesn't know where all of her boundaries are. For this one in particular, the discomfort she felt at the idea of killing people blended in with the discomfort she felt from working according to the whims of something she considers an enemy, but since she has to cooperate with the Persona she ended up barreling through both sides of it to jump into the deep end of the pool to learn to swim. The same goes for the meatskill- she knew, instinctively, that she shouldn't eat it, but she felt she had to even though she'll throw up for it later.

So basically there are a lot of things she doesn't want to do even for the sake of the team, but without her memories to back up those hesitations she can only think of them as a hindrance and will end up doing it anyway. What is certain is that she has absolutely no qualms with valuing some people over others, and though she'll absolutely avoid killing anyone ever again after this she will absolutely prefer the best option for Heliodor (and Coral) over a good option for everyone.

And Tsuruume really wants her memories back because she's in this lost, uncertain place right now that she absolutely hates because she hates to be uncertain of herself and even more she hates to be uncertain of Ginshu and she feels like the only way to get a solid base under her feet so she knows what she's doing and feeling is to regain her memories. Which is more reason to absolutely want to win.

How is Ruby coping with getting smashed :|a...

[oceansflower]

THEY SURE ARE... KIND OF IN A RUBYPILE... or at least they were once they started to revive. I do know that protecting Ruby has probably been dialed up to eleven at the moment, though. 8|a There hasn't really been a lot of chances yet to thread out our FEELINGS although that should be happening soon.

Uh. . . what would you like to see if we went to a different realm. :|a

[redblossoms]

o-oh no realms

Kiriko's or The Masked Lady's realm would probably be great for Tsuruume just because I assume it would be more familiar which would do wonders for her comfort level even though The Masked Lady's realm would probably be hella creepy... in general though I don't know much about realms! I wasn't stalking nearly so much back before so I'm really unfamiliar with Beauty's realm except that it was a forest and they had jackets. So I don't know much about what to expect or anything :|a

what is Tavros's favorite part of being in Aather?
