Counterproductivity is Go! (aka, Whatever Meme)

Nov 06, 2007 18:17

So--hiatus update! The time has come to progress from semi-hiatus-with-frequent-appearances to a more-full-hiatus-with-dramatically-increased-scarcity-because-exams-are-happening. However, if the past has taught me anything it's that I, um... tend to ignore the fact I'm on hiatus and supposed to be doing other things. And so I show up to RP anyway ( Read more... )

I think I asked for Ricochet last time and I fail and I dunno if we've threaded since, so. I want a relationship meme for the Spirit. ♥

ALSO WE SHOULD TOTALLY POST SOMETIME WHEN YOU ARE OFF HIATUS OKAY. I was serious about that.

Well, not a lot has changed because the Spirit still likes Jaime! He thinks of Jaime as someone from home--not as awesome as it'd be if there was somebody from Central City here, but Jaime's an excellent second option. Spirit's reassured by there being someone else from the DC-verse around, and especially because--since I'm almost certain he doesn't know about the scarab yet--he thinks of Jaime as someone else who's relatively normal. That's unlikely to change when he eventually does find out about the scarab--because he already knows something's not entirely mundane about Jaime--as long as the bulk of his interaction continues to be with the unarmored Jaime ( ... )

I'm not gay for Batman okay.

5 jobs Thor would have if he wasn't God of Thunder. (I'll give you one: ROCK STAR.)

say_thee_nay November 8 2007, 03:35:40 UTC

... #6. Rock Star.
#5. Mr. Odinson, High School Shop Teacher: "Class, taketh out thine hammers. Thou shalt undoubtedly feel some inadequacy when compared to mine; 'tis only natural. Now shall we construct birdhouses, yea, birdhouses of such grandeur as to be fitting abodes for the Ravens of the All-Father!"
#4. Dr. Thor T. Odinson, MD: "... turn thy head and cough. And look not so pleased this time."
#3. Congressman Lucas St. Vincent on ABC's hit soap opera One Life to Live, as played by Thor Odinson: "Nay, Jessica! 'Twas not I who fathered yon blind conjoined lesbian twins, but mine evil doppelganger, Hector!"
#2. Big Daddy Hammersmite, community leader and pimp: "Here now, 'tis a completely legitimate business I doth operate, catering to the needs of the public in a verily safe and affordable fashion."
#1. Thor Maraschino, Chippendale's Dancer: "Fabio, eat thy heart out."

*applauds* That is awesome.

HEY!

Gimme a relationship meme for Asta. Because going from a lot of growling and serious lack of witty repartee to a rather nice conversation to CHILD NINJA HUGS should be interesting.

I'll even reverse ya. ;)

2nd_slinger November 8 2007, 22:17:35 UTC

Yeah, this is gonna be... convoluted.

First up, scary Asta is scary. But even so, Ricochet's kinda glad that he ran into her like that and got away clean--one of his big hang-ups is lack of self-confidence, and the fact that he went up against a vampire and pretty much held his own is a nifty little ego boost for him. And then, as an added bonus, it turns out that said vampire didn't mean to be all fangorious and nasty, and is actually a nice and mostly normal person ( ... )

My turn~! astalavampire November 8 2007, 22:58:57 UTC

Actually, I think we handle the relationship memes kind of the same way. I try to clarify how my character feels, what they're thinking, to try and put some sort of context on things. So... yeah, that's good. :)

The one thing I remember most about their first fangy meeting was that you and I couldn't figure out, OOC'ly, how to have things end. So I'm kind of glad we left it open-ended and decided that Asta wouldn't have gone after food that put up that much of a fight.

She honestly doesn't remember much about the night of the attacks, and for that she's... selfishly grateful. She's also grateful that people have forgiven her for it. Now that that's past, she can kind of get on with things. She's not going to be the type to get hung up on the WOE PEOPLE GOT HURT AND IT'S MY FAULT of it; however, she hates that camp has that kind of influence over her. Hates it. So much ( ... )

Here, have a distraction astalavampire November 12 2007, 18:45:20 UTC

I... hurt myself this weekend in a bizarre laundry-related incident. (Translation: stuffed the damn basket too full, then misjudged the weight and lifted the wrong way and OW MY BACK, so today I'm on bedrest, and by my watch, I have about ten minutes before the pain-killer sets in.)

Astheroshe shifted her weight on the couch, scowling at the screen as black and white images flickered across it. "This is the height of ridiculous, Jonathan. The technology is ancient to begin with, but the material is utter mindlessness."

Johnny shook his head, hiding his grin. "It's s'posed to be, Asta. Abbott and Costello're a lot of things, but high art they ain't."

"That short one is particularly useless. Am I supposed to believe he'd last a minute in any sort of battle?"

"That'd be Lou. And, no, you aren't. That's what makes it funny -- it's comedy, princess. I know you got a sense of humor in there somewhere," he said, nudging her teasingly with his elbow ( ... )

Sooo, what's your opinion on the Loners series? Talk comics to me, baby.

(Also? This totally counts as studying for my final. ... R-really.)

... yes ma'am ( ... )

Five ways Thor and Azula interact without resorting to lots of violence!

2nd_slinger November 13 2007, 01:17:24 UTC

#5. Glower-tastic Mexican stand-off (aka "Svartalfheim stalemate" or "Badgermole brouhaha").
#4. Hotly contested debates re: whose father is more bad-ass (a la Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan in Rush Hour).
#3. Marathon-length, cut-throat, no-holds-barred Pai Sho tournament. (Loser strips)
#2. Unexpected moment of bonding during weekly "My Brother's A Whiner" meetings. (And speaking of whom...)
#1. Thor introduces Azula to Loki in the hopes that getting the two of them laid will chill them both the fuck out--AND NOT result in a union of unparalleled dickery.
