SOTP March
Figured I'd toss this up. Ignore if you don't care/don't know what this is. LOL.
State of ze mun: blaaaarghksfj. That is my state, heh. I'm actually feeling pretty apathetic to everything and inadequate in general right now, alas the game included. Which probably means I'm in just one of those moods again. My main goal is to tag into other posts more this month, so my pups can meet some new people. Also canon refreshes in general - haven't done that in a while. But yes, I need to do a lot of things this month, since next I have a vacation and all to think about. Mm, vacation.
Jim: The one thing I am particularly aiming to do is figure out plot for Jim. It isn't that he's quiet so much as I find myself repeating the same kind of activities, because that's how he is in canon and it's hard not to let him just settle here, too. I think I'll be more proactive with his basketball, and might even post up something tonight to see if there's any interest. Which I've said before, and have had it pushed back for other things, but yes. I think that'll be his post for the month.
In general, he IS doing good, though. He has Pam and Sam and good friends, which is a very good thing. Jon disappearing will be a tiny bit rough on him, if only because a. it effects Susan a lot and b. it reminds him all over again how easy it is to lose someone. I was telling Stef he might end up asking Veronica to be a second godparent, since Tim is gone and he wants Susan to have a back-up if handling her babies and Sam ends up being too much. I might write up that post soon, actually. Hm.
Gideon: Not dealing well with Penny being gone. He's taking steps - he has his own hut now, near Eden's - but he's still miserable. And he's pretty ashamed of being so openly miserable too, since he really just doesn't want to deal with sympathy at this point because it only makes him feel worse. Just about the only thing that has kept him from spiraling is Eden, which is good, because then I'd have to play Gideon drunk all the time LMAOOO sad.
My tentative goals this month are to get him talking to people. With Daphne and Matt leaving, his amount of friends are back down to near zero. This, I know, is going to be harder to do than most my goals, since he's happy just hiding in his hut moping. But he's still witty and charming and kind of an asshole, so I know he might get along with people. It's just the job of shoving him out there.
Ellie: I think this is the month the exhaustion will start kicking in. I actually like the idea of Madeline realizing she has a set of lungs and knowing how to use them when she's unhappy. XDD So I think this is going to be a quiet month for her in general, though I have heard rumblings of canon puncture plot. If she's needed anywhere, just let me know, peoples.
She's taking a leave from doctoring for a little while, mostly because of said exhaustion. No one wants a doctor on call who will fall asleep at the desk! I also am going to talk to Melly about her stepping down from her position as rep, since it deserves someone who is more available. I'm working on compiling a bunch of info from websites about what babies do each month, so I don't look like a moron atm. GO ME.
Alistair: Alistair is conflicted about the island in general, and Morrigan constantly calling him an idiot for trusting people doesn't help. :EEEE He's a trusting guy in general, and he takes things as they are because he refuses to be cynical about everyone and everything. But it still eats at him, especially since he's from a point in canon where he'd gone through the Fade part of the game and had seen how easily he can fall for things.
I'm heavily considering giving him his item, which, if the mods okay it, will be the dead body of his half-brother Calian, hanging mechanism and all. It'll be an understandably sobering sight, and while he was never close to his brother, being on the island might give him a little more time to actually feel grief at his death (and Duncan's, for that matter) than he has in the game. I might push that back one more month, though, and allow him to get a few more friends before I do this - we'll see.
AND HOPEFULLY MORE FROM HIS CANON WILL SHOW UP IN GAME SOON WINK WINK.
Cyd: Had an eventful February. I had been planning on her doing the dungeons and dragons thing last month, but she ended up more or less going into hiding because of the Valentine's Day insanity (which is still in progress, LMAOO). So I am going to do that this month, after figuring out who will be part of the first game and...how many players are in a normal game, LOL. SHUT UP I'M A NOOB.
I have a feeling I am going to get a shitload of new canon soon through the Guild comic books. Hell, just the previews gave me something, and I need to remember to talk to Manda, self, because I need to do a tiny bit of reconning. It actually makes her decision to be in orchestra even MORE interesting, because in the comic she was in a small one and felt like she was going nowhere and wasn't being fulfilled. So...yeah. I think her being "first chair" (lol) will make it a lot more exciting to her, albeit a little scary.
Future: Depending on what Laine and Stef do, Henry Dunn is going to be my (first) temp pup. When details get more clear, I am going to need to talk to ya'll re: volunteers to be in this crazy plot.
