causink_trouble: Jenka from Girl Genius, in theskytides

Yes, I only have one character... And she eats all my time anyway!

I'm very glad to see Jenka more out and about lately, what with all the ships being in one place and a lot of potential for all sorts of action. ♥ I must admit, at first I was a bit concerned -- not so much in the "hnnn why like this D:" sense as "I wonder if this is all right, would she like...?" sense -- when it seemed like you spent a lot of time reading entries and logs and plotstuff, but didn't quite... throw her into the fray that much, so to speak. But based on your recent activity I can see you're getting her moving, so kudos to you for that. Her log with Hiyori is very enjoyable to read.

As for her characterization, I think you're doing a very good job with her. To be honest I need to review Girl Genius canon (not for any RP-related purpose, I promise... no, really) but based on what I remember of it, you're managing to stay true to the spirit of her character while adapting her beautifully to the setting and the events of TST. I like how enthusiastic she is about everything, and her almost cheerful attitude about violence ( ... )

Awww! &hearts

Wow, I had no idea it was that obvious! I didn't quite realize I was doing it, even. Out of curiosity, how could you tell? ;)

But, yeah, my first online RP ever, so I just wasn't sure how to get her interacting with other characters. I think I more or less have the hang of it now. Still, I felt like I was doing a good deal of logs from the beginning! Probably because I started out with a writing speed of about an hour per paragraph, LOL. My boss wasn't a big fan of that, let me tell you. That's gotten better too, though. Mostly. And yes, this all-ship thing and the generally social atmosphere it's bringing out is great! I'm having a lot of fun having Jenka interact with people. Even if half of them are her shipmates anyway.
Oh, and about that - Aizen still needs a Jäger army! :D

Once you review GG, you'll realize she appears on a whole 18 pages... I don't know how much spirit of the character there is to stay true to, and how much I'm just making up. But either way, I'm having fun with it! :D And wait, a sincerely ( ... )

Oh, need you wonder?

THE OTHER

I mean.

Mm, no, it wasn't that obvious. It's just that I tend to be a bit sensitive to that kind of thing, because I make it a point to keep an eye out for people who seem like they would like things to do but don't have the faintest idea where to get started. I used to be a lot like that with Uni and honestly if certain people hadn't helped me out I'd have dropped out of TST a long time ago, so it's like... having been helped, one would like to help, also? <3 I'm very glad you're having fun!

And about that Jager army -- I would really love one. No, I'm serious. I could bring it up with you guys sometime? I'm postponing a lot of things until after the races since all these plots exploding at the same time might distract from what is really the main event. But we can always do some setup while we have the opportunity to do so.

that icon scares me! schmot_gurl June 25 2009, 16:52:07 UTC
ahdjasklnakjh I love you so much! /and Lucrezia ≈ The Other, so I more or less got it right! :D

Aww, Mia, so sweet and thoughtful... &hearts

/wait

/maybe sweet!Mia is just like sweet!Aizen?? O.O
/is sort of terrified now
S-still, if you have any pointers on how to get things to happen, d-do let me know...

And yes, Jäger army, sometime when you're not busy with all the other evil plottings. /would be happy to do some kind of setup if she knew how

WHY ;_; IT IS SO INNOCENT AND SWEET gazeintothesun June 25 2009, 17:00:52 UTC
W-well, it's just an idea... but yes, it would be terribly fun to play her in, you know, full-fledged evil villain mode--

ANYWAY SLKFHKHFSDF

/ahaha of course not ;_;

/then again, even if that were true, I wouldn't admit it either

Oh, mm, the first and most obvious one is to hang around in chat if you can manage it, since I've found that a lot of interaction setup happens there. But of course, you can still be incredibly active and build a lot of relationships between characters (and muns) without even going into chat <3 I think it's important to keep in mind what someone said in the anon meme -- TST people, as a general rule, are insanely friendly. We want to do logs and build CR and stuff, so feel free to approach anytime!

Ahah well now that I think about it, setup during this event would be very, very nice. Especially since you're fighting Hiyori, whom Aizen happens to have more than a passing interest in. Perhaps when you're done with that log we could work something out. ♥

exactly! causink_trouble June 25 2009, 20:53:23 UTC
hfalkjfas'dfjal;hak'jkh Mia you really do scare me sometimes...

You know, I try to go on chat once in a while, and I'm invariably lost and confused. That, and... it sort of feels like cheating? Or something. My brain just isn't happy with the idea of having to hang out OOC to get some CR going. But yes, people are very friendly, and OMG yesterday I got poked on IM about a log for the first time ever!! /bounces off walls

Alright! I shall poke you when the Hiyori log's finished. And don't forget Gin's hanging out with Jenka - he should be able to tell Aizen all kinds of interesting things later! &hearts

onlyluminous June 25 2009, 20:57:42 UTC
Ahahaha I do understand. Still, it's a fun thing to do, so... Anyway, if ever you need help, just ask, yes? I'm just an IM or an email or an LJ comment away, so.

Oh, about that? No need to poke, really~

I'm watching that log, anyway. ♥~

okay, even I can't say this one isn't cute! causink_trouble June 25 2009, 21:16:01 UTC
I will, thank you! :)
Does this offer extend to other people? I think I'm fine for now, but I know Molly's been frustrated with CR issues recently...

/is stalked, yay!

Reply

Heeeee. You see? ♥ onlyluminous June 25 2009, 21:20:23 UTC
Yes, of course. <3 And, if it's okay with you, I'd like to develop that Jager army idea -- I'm writing stuff in my file now and am trying to plot a sort of overall... chart... thing, and I'm including that in it.

And this one, too! Aww, so cute. /snuggles ^_^ schmot_gurl June 26 2009, 03:02:01 UTC
Thank you. &hearts
And yes, definitely! Let me know how I can help figure things out. Although the Jägers are pretty straightforward creatures.
Ah, and since you've read the canon, you know they're loyal to Agatha first, so they'll cheerfully let themselves get pulled into all kinds of plots, but in the end they still won't really be Aizen's. But for now, Agatha let them go nearly free, so they can do whatever they feel like - and I'm sure both you and Aizen can guess what kinds of things they feel like doing... XDD
