Canary relationship on Shark?
restorefromsave: (In search of a shrine)

[personal profile] restorefromsave 2013-04-08 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
SHARK IS BAD AT TALKING TO GIRLS this is why despite having female friends and teammates he's generally a little "flail? Flail!" about how to. Talk with them. That's part of the reason he hasn't been as able to approach Canary (And Nightingale and Dove) to just... talk with them about important things outside of games. He goes "girls how do I ////" even though he sees Canary in a very family/little sister light.

Shark being a loser aside he likes Canary a lot. He's protective of her but he believes in her ability to make her own choices! And while he would absolutely take a bullet for her he'd be willing to let her step up and take her own bullets too! Basically. The girls that were on Coral before that played in games were mostly all ones that wanted/needed protecting. So Canary was the first girl on Coral who he knew would, did, and wanted to be able to carry things in games! So aside from being protective and liking her and thinking she's adorable and sweet, he also respects her a lot!

In Kit's heart when he was being really messed up she was patient and argued him into better decisions and that is another thing he really appreciates about her. She's really sweet and has a good heart and he adores her even if he doesn't know pretty much anything about her past.

What are Canary's thoughts/developments on Coral? How is the team suiting her? (How is her tendency to bully developing?)

NO CANARY NO YOU ARE NOT WEAK 8(

Most of Kit's general Canary feelings have stayed the same. He still respects her and her desire to help carry burdens, and he respects her ability to stand up to him and Shark about that. He respects her ability to make choices! And as much as he wants to protect her, he recognizes in her a desire to protect others herself, and he doesn't want to take that ability away from her. Pandora's game, and the Gingerbread Witch game, where he stepped aside and let her take some of the hits is pretty indicative of this. He thinks she's strong, and he admires her for it.

He does, however, think she's awfully hard on herself sometimes :( Like he doesn't know about all of her internal feelings related to his Jabberquest death obviously, but if he did he'd just be like NO CANARY NO YOU ARE STRONG I AM THE WEAK ONE WHO RUNS FROM EVERYTHING DON'T TAKE GETTING UPSET OVER SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS ,-, He has noticed that she seems a little more distant than she was before the game, which does make him :( but it isn't to a point where he feels like he has to ask her about it yet. He might if it does get to that point, but for now, he's doing his best to support her and be her friend like he usually does.

Canary's thoughts on Mouse's heart?

It's holding up decently, but in a way that lets him actually release feelings, which wasn't how it was before. It's because of those cracks that he was able to open up to Mouse about dying and to Aoko about being uncertain over the Jabberwock :|a So he's not... completely open (I don't think he can be because poker facing is such an essential part of his coping process, he wouldn't be able to function at all without it), but he's healthy enough that the cracks allow things through that the mask wouldn't allow through before.

Do you have any dream amnesia names for Shinichi :D

ABOUT THE SAME AS HE KNOWS IN CANON. Conan = Shinichi, he's a detective, he's gotten the best of Kaito a few times, but they're rivals with tons of begrudging respect between them... he doesn't know anything about the organization or how/why Shinichi is stuck in the body of an eight-year-old, so that'll be fun to play out if he ever figures it out |Da

when Shinichi remembers Ran and finds out she's in the book how will he react...

[personal profile] brotagonist 2013-04-08 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
God it isn't really an update because his feelings haven't CHANGED so much as... every conversation they have is more canarydere?! She's just so brave and strong and determined and willing to shoulder things in Lloyd's eyes D| and her confusion and uncertainty aren't bad things to him because everyone has those sometimes! So it's just like OH CANARY. He doesn't understand yet how hard she's going to Colette ping him eventually but he's starting to get an inkling of that, too! And he sees Colette as really strong and YOU SHOULD LIVE FOR YOUR OWN HAPPINESS COLETTE GEEZ and and!!!

idk it's just more Canary appreciation all the time over here.

ANY TEAM HOPES FOR YOUR NEXT CHARACTER?

[personal profile] brotagonist 2013-04-08 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
OH GOD THAT'S JUST TERRIBLE

Uhhh canonically he'd maybe keep shut about it for a while and then go NO YOU CAN'T more publically. In Aather he'd probably try REALLY HARD to convince her not to keep quiet about it if it bothered her but if she was adamant about it... probably the same thing would happen! SORRY CANARY. YOUR LIFE IS IMPORTANT 8( WE CAN FIND ANOTHER WAY TO SAVE YOUR WORLD

He'd tell her about Colette, too.

...what would Canary think if he told her about Colette, actually?

Oh I linked you the wrong one derp. I'll just c/p this bit of dialogue from that scene so you can see then:

Lloyd: I’m sorry. …I didn’t realize what was going on at all. I’m sorry.

Colette: Please don’t tell the others.

Lloyd: Why?!

Colette: Well, I mean, we’re all on this trip together and I want it to be fun. So, I don’t want you to worry about it either, okay?


D8<

Anyway Lloyd doesn't fail at romance in like... loving you or emotionally being there for you or supporting you or trying to do nice things for you just because you're yourself! ALL OF THAT HE'S GREAT AT. It's just like. Remembering birthdays, knowing how to flirt with someone or conduct a date, basically... all of the schmoopy couple stuff. There he sucks and is honestly pretty dumb. He's a huge sap and pretty reliable though so it sort of evens out :|a

I-is Canary still crushing on him...
brotagonist: Lloyd: slump/party (why is this my life?)

[personal profile] brotagonist 2013-04-09 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh he definitely could. The problem with it right now is like... she's 14 and he's 19 and he hasn't been parsing her way and isn't likely to start because he's not a cradle robber! Especially as she "reads" like... a mature 14 rather than an older teenager or someone with more than that going on. So there's just a lot of age gap there in the way.

(He has the potential to date Presea in canon and she's as young as Canary, but it's also canon that he sees this as acceptable because Presea is an exception — she's emotionally 14 in some ways but she's experienced a lot more years than that and the fact she's experientially in her thirties shows in lot of ways, too. He tells people that it's different than how it looks because of that agefuck! Which implies he would not be okay with it if it was actually how it looked.)

If she was a couple years older all bets would be off though because she's very much the kind of person who can very quickly become very emotionally important to him and whups that's Lloyd's major qualifier for being into someone. Not the only one! But a very important one. And she's definitely one of the types he finds cute on top of that. :'D C...COME BACK IN A FEW YEARS CANARY.

Tell me about Allegretto!

Don't jump off a cliff so you can grow up and date me :|a SEEMS LEGIT

HA HA OH BOY. So Colette is Lloyd's childhood friend! They grow up together knowing Colette is the Chosen, a figure of some importance in the Church of Martel; when she's sixteen a bunch of foretold shit will happen and then she'll begin the ~journey of world regeneration~ which, upon her completing it, will save the world! This is a big deal because the world is undergoing a ton of attacks by monsters as well as incursions by the Desians and drought, famine, etc; this is because no Chosen has succeeded in Sylvarant for a long time — conditions which also make it impossible to give the Chosen a ton of support once it's time for their journey, especially as it's traditional for the Chosen to only travel with a very small group of companions. Colette's birthday is an annual holiday as everyone celebrates her journey to save them getting a little nearer! She's basically treated as a huge symbol of hope more than as a person in a lot of ways, and she values her life accordingly — especially since by the time canon starts, she's known for a long time that when her journey ends, so will her life as "Colette." The journey of regeneration is to change her into an angel and she knows that when it's over, she won't be able to go back to her human life. It scares her a lot, but that's what you have to do to save the world and let's have fun till then :')!!!

Over the course of her journey of world regeneration she first loses her ability to eat normally, then sleep, then feel! Her eyesight and hearing get so good they're kind of painful! She loses the ability to speak after that, but throughout the journey, she keeps reiterating that she wants to save the world and wants everyone else to have fun :')!! and hides it until Lloyd basically pries it out of her and then ignores his promise at the last to tell the others what's going on. Still, they continue, because how else is the world supposed to be saved?? — and then the inevitable conclusion is that Colette has to lose her life as a human and memories and heart/soul entirely to become an angel; it's revealed once she's already an empty husk that this is done because they need her body to try to revive Martel, not to save the world. The world regeneration system is set up as a way for Mithos to breed good Chosen candidates to hopefully match his sister's mana signature and lose their souls so that hers can take their bodies, and the religious leaders and the Desians that have been putting people in concentration camps for generations are actually the same group! How nice!

...with the help of a group of renegade Cruxis members, the party (especially Lloyd) rescues Colette and eventually brings her back to herself. Which she's grateful for! But she never finished the journey of world regeneration, so Sylvarant is still suffering; it wears on her a lot as the game continues that she's a failed Chosen, someone who dared to value living over the world, who wasn't brave enough or isn't worthy of this. She hides it from the party when she gets an illness to try to keep from worrying them, and basically continually wrestles with a sense of self-worth and who she can be if she's not the Chosen who'll save the world. She hangs on to Lloyd telling her he wants her to live for herself, and she's really not over any of it by the time the game ends. In ToS2 you see her as more settled, hoping to continue serving the world in a new way and trying to help and change it into a form that won't encourage the kind of system that broke her, but her lack of self-worth in the face of the world runs very deep. It's notable that she's very much a deconstruction of the smiling martyr girl trope — the kinds of attitudes towards your own self-worth that it fosters and how damaging and isolating it can be.

this music video is a good summary of Colette as a character, for me.

Tell me some of your character pings!

SO Shinichi 'w' ANY IDEAS OF WHICH MEMORY TO START HIM OFF WITH YET?

[personal profile] silverbulletkun 2013-04-08 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
KIND OF...!! or at least, I did pick a memory to be his temp starter when I put up that test drive post of him entering Aather, and I might just keep that one if I don't find one I like better. THAT MEMORY BEING the case from the first three chapters of volume 2, which is where the guy Kogorou was shadowing got murdered over an insurance policy dare and Conan catches the killer by facing him alone and tricking him into confessing on tape (and then almost getting murdered himself but what else is new).

I picked this memory because it doesn't give too much away about his predicament or who he really is, though it clearly shows that he is batman a detective who pretends to be a child while working behind the scenes to bring murderers to justice. That way I can save rediscovering all the good stuff for while he's in-game. B)

SO DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BRING RAN BACK SOMEDAY?
twindifference: (pic#5313589)

[personal profile] twindifference 2013-04-08 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
I WOULD LIKE TO. I really did love having Ran but at the time, I was jsut really bad with activity because A) SCHOOL and B) I just could not focus on the dates (this was when activity was every seven days since your last thread vs weekly like it is now).

PROBABLY MOST OF ALL, I just really really wanted Toki at the time! I wanted him to gain CR with his cast before they all left (since Bonten and Ginshu had been there since the very beginning and had most of their memories by then) and I JUST REALLY WANTED TO PLAY HIM. Ran's the type that is a stable character with or without memories and she had a million memories left sooo she'd be here forever anyway with no chance of goodending ever :') IF I BRING HER BACK, IT'LL HOPEFULLY BE FOR THE LONG HAUL.

FTR Heliodor is currently pretty solid so even if I had reapped her now, I figure it would be a while BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR HER TO HAVE HER SAME TEAM 'w'

ANY OTHER FUTURE APP IDEAS? Just for the fun of it.
