Question Meme!

[twilight_boy]

Well, nobody's at an appropriately round number of comments, but I want to do a question meme and hey, lots of major things have happened recently. Like that one game last night...

Have at! This goes for Roxas and Madoka.

first impressions?

[twilight_boy]

Good gods above, do a lot of Lightning's attitudes and impressions when she first dropped in remind Roxas of his own in the same situation. It's kind of eerie. The big difference is she seems to have a strong impression of herself/her own morality, even with no memories, where he didn't.

Her arrival's hit him in a lot of feelings he's kind of buried, cause he still has some resentment at the whole Aather kidnapping thing, it's just also a better option than what he's got left in canon.

That said, he likes and respects her and hopes she'll do okay in Aather and Emerald. His impression of her is tough and capable, which is an awesome thing.

Reverse?

Lightning was slightly grump grump grump at him (and... the rest of Emerald) for kind of immediately being like Hi welcome to Our Team which you are now A Part Of and this is how Emerald Is which, have we mentioned, is now you also.

And it wasn't even anything like 'we take all the damage on ourselves' like in the game last night, but more 'we are like a family' because she was like 'you do not know me you can't make me your family also that seems like it might be a bad idea for you, what kind of terrible strategy is this'

But then Roxas kind of backed off it when Asuka didn't, so she could focus her irritation there :x And overall he has been very solid and full of good information, and not super pressury. He's kind of casual in a way she doesn't really get, but it's not enough to be off-putting.

So... how is Ven's connection going to upset Emerald Strategy? ^^a

[twilight_boy]

Right now, his brain keeps glitching out every time he tries to think about it, but ultimately, I think he's going to a) talk to Ven, and b) go find a Persona who can give him a quest to block the link during trauma games/other times where his dying is likely.

Obviously, other Emeralds will get a say in the matter (and Mage knows what went down,) but Roxas would do almost anything to not mess up Emerald's way of coping in this sort of thing. Cause when Emerald fails to cope by fuck-the-system self-sacrifice, it's kinda not pretty. See also: Three revenge game.

Lightning's general impression of trauma game and aftermath?
