SotU
It is late. I want to do this.
Booster (boosterrific)
IC: ...Uh. Thinks Boatmom is hot. <--- literally the only thing I've done with him lately, aside from CFUW which doesn't count because it's AU.
OOC: UM hahaha oh goodness. My interest in him is so low right now, but then I read his (monthly) comic and I love him all over again! Until I actually have to play him. I enjoy possessing him as a character, but getting him out is hard. On the other hand, Harley is playing Ted! And I don't want to drop when she's doing things with the character. If I had fewer characters, I might want to play him more, but as it is, he's near the back of the line.
Dropping: 8/10
Plans: ... Yeahhhhh. I guess my plans should be like, "play with more people! Be a jerk! Run a ponzi scheme!" but I don't really have any ideas or motivation. Maybe it will strike me. For now I think I'll try to get him out at all to see if I can ~rekindle the joy~.
Ned (pie-or-death)
IC: Here's his current IC stuff.
OOC: WOW GUYS THAT WAS CLOSE. I almost wrote up his drop post! I still know how I'm going to do it... but it will be later. I hit such a wall with him. IT IS HARD TO PLAY SOMEONE SEVERELY DEPRESSED AND LONELY FOR SIX MONTHS even when they're trying to pretend they're not. EVEN WHEN YOU MAKE THE DECISION THAT YOU WILL NOT PLAY THEM AS ROUGH AS YOU SHOULD. But having him be in love with someone again was like playing old Ned. He was cute and shy and sweet and chatty. He is a difficult character to play when he's not in love. I think in the show there's like. 20 minutes in the Pie-lette when he's not in love. It's hard. I miss Chuck a lot but hopefully this new direction will make things interesting for a little while longer.
Dropping: 3/10.
Plans: Deal with maze fallout when shininess of Parker has worn down.
Damian (goddamnbatsperm)
IC: Damian is... kind of okay. His dere is showing more because of Vanya. He likes that Batman is in camp, likes/hates that Tim is in camp (he loves being antagonistic, hates Tim). Wishes he had more to do and misses his mother in that way that only he could. He'd miss her in Gotham, too, even if he hates her. Kind of wishes that Alfred were around. He's tired of doing boring tasks. Is kind of worried he's getting too soft.
OOC: LOVE HIM can't wait to see where canon takes him. There should be some good changes/conflict coming up soon. Would love some more conflict in camp for him, actually. Things have been super easy lately and he's getting restless. He's still my baby and I adore him, though he's not my primary focus atm.
Dropping: 2/10
Plans: Plan with the Batclan about something, idk. Find him some antagonists.
Dairine (motherbored)
IC: God, Dairine. The idea of camp fascinates her. She loves the theory, and she loves meeting people from everywhere. Being fictional doesn't really bother her (though she's annoyed at how anyone could pick up a book and figure her out). However, she's not being stimulated enough. There isn't enough conflict to move her forward so she's feeling like she's stagnating. She misses her dad like crazy, and her sister, too. In canon [she just lost her mom six months ago and her best friend like one month ago] so it feels so much more likely that anyone else could be gone in minutes. She just wants to see that they still exist, and she's so mad at Nita for writing her a letter but not showing up, or not helping her get out. She wants to talk to people about what's going on, but it's not her nature to just OPEN UP and be like "so hey! This is what's going on in my life!" She has, though, tried to bring it up with a few people she trusts (amazingly enough, all men who are older than her... she misses her dad) and has largely been rebuffed, so she's just kind of resigned to the fact that it's not going to happen. Her expectations are that people should be interested in what's going on and keep asking questions, because she's uncomfortable being vulnerable to others.
Also, Nico's cute, but they're just friends, right? RIGHT?
OOC: SHE'S SO INTERESTING AND DYNAMIC AND AHHHHH though I should probably canon review like... ever.
Dropping: 1/10
Plans: THREAD MORE WITH BONES and get into mischief more. Top people by being adorable and slightly tsun.
Will (weed-it-n-reap)
IC: Will is interested in Kaitlyn, annoyed by Grelle, and loathsome but oddly drawn to Hatter.
OOC: He's a backburner character and I have peace with this! He's super fun when the right opportunity comes up, and not-complex enough that I don't have to worry about not playing him for a stretch. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
Dropping: 5/10 I could do it if I had to. But I don't.
Plans: Be a prick at everyone!! Thread with more crazyface characters.
Katara (hoseb4bros)
IC: Glad to be back, glad almost everyone is still here. Pretty much just trying to pick up where she left off, but has huge amounts of guilt for leaving in the first place.
OOC: I can play her. I can. I'm just kind of... bored. :/ sorry dudes. I feel pretty bad because I just got her and I've hardly played her but I'M JUST WONDERING IF IT WAS ALL A HUGE MISTAKE. My interests in characters now aren't the same as they were last year and she doesn't ping me that much. I was hoping I would app her and start playing her and really fall back in love but I haven't and I'm not sure what to do. I feel like a huge loser because I got everyone's hopes up! And I'm not really ready to drop because like. I AM BETTER THAN THIS!! MAYBE I CAN DO IT and oh god they'll be so disappointed. I'm really stuck. But mostly just sitting on this really neat character that someone who can focus more on her would excel at.
Dropping: 9/10
Plans: Play... ever. I don't even know. HELP ME, AVACAST WAN KENOBI.
Parker (piedparker)
IC: FUN STUFF. Am super enjoying the vampire stuff. Parker hates magic things and she doesn't like to believe in things she can't hold, so she's been in pretty heavy denial about Camp in general and is probably starting to wonder if this is just all some horrible hallucination and she's actually insane. The stuff with Eric that has gone down is incredibly interesting to me. She functions off of impulses, so she's going to keep saying and doing things when she feels like it, and it's going to keep getting her in trouble. She doesn't have her moral compass (her crew) to keep her grounded. No one's there to yell at her when she does something impulsively (and therefore probably not socially acceptably) so she's going to get worse. She's not a naturally nice person because she is not someone who would stop to consider other people. It just doesn't occur to her and she wouldn't expect people to consider her, either. HOWEVER she's slightly obsessed with learning how to people and very self-conscious of being weird (which I need to play up more) so if she ever meets someone patient enough to tell her why people look at her funny and walk away, that would help. So right now in camp she partially thinks she's gone crazy, and is mostly defensive and wigged out. And bored. She needs something to steal.
OOC: AHHHHHHHH she is great! I have so much fun and I think it's no surprise (at 733 comments so far. 100+ comments a day since she was voted in) that I'm kind of obsessed with her. I can feel myself being annoying when I mention the show but it's really what I'm into right now. There are parts of her personality that I feel like I could play up more, but I find her incredibly interesting and engaging and just. FUN. She's sometimes hard for me to think of replies for because her thought process is anti-logical and anti-empathy, which I'd like to think is the opposite of me, but she's human and broken and ugh. I LOVE HER.
Dropping: 0/10. Cold dead hands, baby. Now app me my crew.
Plans: EVERYTHING EVER though really I need to figure how to make her run heists. And also steal from everyone, and figure out where she's living and make friends (and enemies) with ALL THE VAMPIRES apparently. And also thread with Mark Sheppard.
ME(wonderseal)
IC: Zen :D
OOC: I'M ENJOYING THINGS RIGHT NOW. Overall I feel like more outside conflict for my characters would be preferable, but I'm pretty okay with my core cast. Booster and Katara, idek right now. GET IT TOGETHER.
Dropping: NEVER!!! Well, at least not in the foreseeable future. Being other people is just too much fun.
Plans: Going on hiatus next week! But I want to try for better balance. My instincts know that five is my limit, apparently.
MORAL OF THE STORY: My apping pattern is people who are social foreigners in their native cultures and reapps are an ill-advised idea.
