RP Fic: Thursday

[otempora42]

Today’s Thursday.

School’s letting out early today - Easter break. No school tomorrow, either. And next week off.

There’s a part of Lily that wishes that she’d had this week off instead. There’s a larger part of her that’s glad she didn’t.

She’s about to leave when she remembers the staff party - the one she’d helped organize, two weeks ago, a

Believe me, Lily's missed Marshall, too. :( But, of course, she can't tell him how miserable she's been, because he's stressed out enough.

(Yeah. It's on your profile. Guess I was right about him forgetting?)

[otempora42]

Well, he's going to have a nice surprise tomorrow, isn't he? :P

[secondmezzanine]

Oh. My. God.

This was SO good. I seriously wanted to cry the entire time I was reading it, I just felt for Lily so much. You've done a great job keeping her in character (when she was deciding between the two shirts at the clearance rack, the school staff party, etc.) and showing how hard this is for her, unable to do anything.

I just want to give Lily a huge hug!

I had so many parts I wanted to quote that I just lost track, so I'll settle for this: Victoria passed the front porch test, when she was going out with Ted. With flying colors.

[otempora42]

Aw, thank you.

Yeah, Lily's having a rough time with it all. She has to go through her daily routine, which is always the hardest thing in these kinds of situations.

Well, when Robin gets back, she can definitely give Lily a hug. God knows they both need it.

WHEN DID JAMES AND TOM BREAK UP?!?!?

*blinks, shakes head in disbelief, moves on*

This was so, so good and very in-character for Lily. I just feel so terrible for her, stuck at home all by herself while everything else is going on, trying her best to somehow reassure everyone. You really showed her helplessness here. And her imaginings of what that day was supposed to be like if Barney and Robin had actually come home just broke my heart. (And it was interesting how she was wishing Barney had never told her he was in love with Robin...)

And I loved the part with her and Victoria, how she passed the front porch test. Whoever's playing Victoria in the RP's been doing such a good job! She's been especially good at calming Marshall down, I think.

(And was she watching HIMYM while channel surfing? Hee!)

[otempora42]

Well, James is listed as single, so Lily just assumed. She's a little numb at that point.

Yeah, she's really feeling powerless, which you can't really express over the chat (or at least she can't -- she'd feel too selfish). I don't think she really wishes that Barney hadn't let her in, but it's certainly hurting her knowing how much he's hurting (and she felt really bad during her chat with Ted, where he was ranting about how closed-off Barney is, when Barney's shared this huge thing with her).

Victoria's great. :) I have heard about this epic Victoria-calming-Marshall-down thing, but there doesn't appear to be a transcript. :(

(Kind of. She's not really paying much attention, otherwise she'd be like, "What the hell, that's US!". I'm thinking of it more as a HIMYM proxy, though.)

Also, you really get to use that Ned icon a lot nowadays, don't you?

[da_phoenix13]

Oh, I kind of have a transcript of that! It was part of the epic Ted/Marshall convo from Tuesday. I think the original convo was in comments on her status or something. Ted and Marshall were talking about what she said, so she wasn't directly involved... but it was pretty awesome. Marshall ended up likening GNB to Marshgammon. I'll post it in a sec, along with the ones from today.

(Man, I post a freaking LOT of transcripts, don't I?)

I just thought it was funny how you keep saying that this RP is like the HIMYM soap opera (which, btw, it kind of is) and then Lily watches the sitcom and thinks that that was how it was supposed to be. Nice meta-comment. =D

And yeah, I guess I do use the Ned icon a lot lately, don't I? Everything in this RP is just so SHOCKING. Hahaha. I've been using this Homestar one quite a bit though, too. I've found it an appropriate fangirly icon. =D

[otempora42]

Ooh, awesome. Post. Now.

(It's cool. I like reading transcripts.)

Yay for meta-comments. They are my favorites. Although, if you look at HIMYM from the characters' perspectives, they've gone through a lot of dramatic shit. This is just. You know. Really REALLY dramatic.

No, use the Ned icon! It amuses me muchly. As does the Homestar one.

[roland44]

One red, one blue. Kind of like the Matrix, only not.

God this whole RP thing takes a completely surreal turn with Heather going missing and Barney going off the deep end.

Lily would so order a cake for Marshall, lilipad being a nice touch :) Sigh! *hugs RP!Lily*

[otempora42]

I know, right? It's, like, the soap opera version of HIMYM. I swear.

Yeah, I figured that, since she can't actually go to GNB, she'd at least send him something nice. And RP!Lily definitely needs the hugs.

[roland44]

Hehe I think more than a soap opera it's turning into a action/adventure drama. Kinda like Alias-meets-Dollhouse-meets-HIMYM. Add in some space travel soon and it'll be scifi action adventure drama....

[da_phoenix13]

How did you know that Ted was planning on running away to Mars to get away from all the drama?!

;)

[idioticonion]

This is quite incredibly beautiful, so well written and IC considering it's AU.

Just, poetic! Love all of it.

You rock awesometown.

[otempora42]

Thank you!
