Let's get ourselves oriented...!

[wipesfaith]

We kind of exploded as a cast. In the best way possible. But now that we're all here and so may of us are new, let's talk about stuff!

Things to consider:

- Handwaved interaction. What are routine things our dudes are (will be) doing together?
- Living arrangements? Who is where and what is going on...
- Role in the Luceti Alliance which is not actually called that but an alternative name was never really agreed on. What's the sitch here?
- WHAT IS EVERYONE DOING WHO EVEN ARE WE???

This post is already very professional and organized, yes.

Please dump any commentary on where you think your character fits into any of this. Seriously, just start talking. We'll go from there.

what are goals...Mikasa's goal is Eren and whatever Eren's doing...honestly I'm interested if being in another world would push her to figure out something for herself as well.

#anniewhyugottabelikethat

/nods; I think Mikasa definitely respects Annie. They're rivals. And then Annie pulls a fast one one them and Mikasa loses it a little (sorry, she did cut off your escape while you were climbing the wall) but yeah, normally I think they'd get along with some buttons pushed, but mostly curt nods ad greetings. Any time they want to settle they take it outside.

tangents briefly but what i think is interesting with annie and mikasa at the wall is some of the translations i've heard in the community that make it more complex than "fall" - more the sentiment of "give up" or, more practically, "surrender", which can cast an interesting light on events and the way that all went down

Annie definitely has to respect Mikasa's abilities for what they are, and yes I can see a lot of all that there and aaah I do like that we can get along with exactly those sorts of things. Step outside, ladies, we've got a bone to pick with each other!

And I also think it'll be interesting with the change in world and pacing of that world to see what Mikasa might find out about herself for sure, since god, there's so much going on for Mikasa and she's such a wonderfully complex and layered character and I really look forward to seeing what you do with that? High five for having to figure out more about themselves with a lack of pressure on the guiding missions that formed their adolescent and teenage lives o/

--now that I didn't know; certainly does put things in a slightly different light.

They certainly don't hedge around the corners with their problems--they like settling them fast and yesss this is all very nice (geez I need to hurry up and properly intro...)

Yesss she's got Eren on the mind but she isn't only just that. She's so awesome and I seriously I hope I can do her justice. But I definitely do like the freedom of being in a game and figuring out she wants to do. And Annie as well. They might become better friends in time (seriously where are all the girls; Mikasa hangs around too much with guys).

yeah, it's an interesting framing difference... i mean, granted, to each person is a difference in interpretation as it is, that's the joy of any medium we consume as colored by our own way of processing information. i just appreciate the kind of feeling that can come behind "surrender" versus the concept of a "fall," for all there's definitely similarities and /hands over mouth i'm sorry

hahaha intros are hard, i should do one on journal too /stares at journal

/gently taps on shoulder

Girl power is awesome power, they'll have a good opportunity no matter what, i feel! even if for some reason it goes toward lots of ... hate, though that's not what i foresee, but even that would be really fascinating so bring it

no don't be sorry! surrendering is a sort of concept that can be positive or negative depending on the person doing the surrendering, who they're surrendering to, or the circumstances. Fall seems like a sort of forced thing and is nearly always negative, like one person shoving at another until they topple.

|D I saw your journal entry and I should get to replying it...

Hate and respect. It would be so damn fascinating so yes I am looking forward to it.

#someone should start a therapy club in Luceti for characters with issues. the whole shingeki cast would need it
