because the system is designed to fill us all with hatred and bile until only the six champions stand on the corpses of the six destroyed losers and celeste wants to be in the winner pile but you don't love us enough to prioritize us forever
She carries on, since that is what she does. But she ate some guys! She chose to eat some guys, because it would help protect her team from herself, and because she was hungry and wanted to, and scared not to. She chose to attack a team they were neutral on and a team they were close to, which, when you think about it is fine, and when you feel about it is awful in different ways. She tells herself it's because she wanted to end the game quickly, decrease the number of sacrifices, but she doesn't quite believe herself. Being a monster--having that power--was thrilling. So she's pretty disgusted and horrified with herself, but she also doesn't feel like she deserves to freak out, so she's just kind of quietly compartmentalising that and moving on, just a little bit more jaded, less Pollyannaish. She wouldn't mind talking it out but the people she'd usually approach are too--"good"?--to be good counsel? Sooo...yeah. Gained Dark Side points, uncertain how to feel or how to react :|b
How is March; how was Celeste? I'll be honest i didn't pay attention to any team that wasn't mine and even those got half-assed :')
Umm... Well if I was paying more attention/if Sage was less Sage then she would be totally stepping up like this is my jam! And when she gets over herself not being the "better" person she thought she could be ("Violet" was to be nicer/kinder/more Good than "Nunnally" but...) she'll be down for doing stuff? She's uncertain how she feels about a lot of things, but protecting her team is The Issue, one she proooobably considers more important than the morals of whatever allies she might have. The difference between Violet's position and Mint's is that V respects her team more, so she's gonna listen to what they want? And in general they want to be gentle and fluffy, so whipping them into a secret bussing force is less likely? I mean, who knows, but I'm not holding my breath? That said, she is (and always has been) willing to use force as an option to end conflicts, but as softly as they got off in dragon bear she's more likely to end up trying to avoid too close an alliance with other teams (why be dragged into their conflicts?) or just trying to organize against portraits... I dunno, every time I think I'm headed one direction I end up being wrong, so...
So how much does March wanna catch Shells in a dark alley (alternately: is there something you'd like to do with my characters in the future? :)
I WOULD LOVE TO DO DARK THINGS IN ALLEYWAYS WITH YOUR CHARACTERS but sob right now I can't because stupid March has lines and attacking Mint and/or breaking the Shell alliance. Without that, he would be attacking and murdering Shell's and dragging their corpses to Mint's doorstep like a psychotic alleycat.
SEE WHAT I BOUGHT YOU THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOU!!!
And Nunnally doesn't really present as a threat that he needs to put down because he might be sad but he's not little disabled girls might slap me, must kill them, sad just yet.
But I would love more CR with them once March is done crying in a corner because Mint can bypass a lot of his threats right now and he needs a friend (to ruin his relationship with immediately.)
NUNALLY (probably) WOULDN'T SLAP HIM I mean depending, I mean she might punch him with a golem but she might just think its better to hug it out who knows (like that would be any better)
Anyway I'd totally be cool with Mint and March as terribuddies; she is really pissed at him right now, but a lot of that is because he's making good points? Sadly(?) she isn't coming out of this emotionally crushed enough to be pro "stab me forever I deserve it" but physical and emotional violence in a relationship never hurt anybody, so...
Umm I wanna do something with the Shell-Celeste alliance--either test it and strengthen it, or break it and be done with it. Because so far Shell has been the shittiest ally and they should be called on it. Buuuut I'd rather keep it? Since Shell being super squishy is neither Mint's nor my style? But either way, I'd like some conflict and resolve...ment...here. I guess that is only tangentially with you but!! Also let's have a fight! It doesn't have to be right now and it can be any sort of battle from formal duel for Shark's hand to rap battle but really at some point Mint will once again want to test their difference in strength. (If it's consensual that isn't breaking any alliance, so!!) Uhh...I dunno! Planning is obviously not my strong suit but in general I wanna do *something* instead of just teasing at CR blue balls so I guess let's see what happens~~
What game are you most looking to play in (or run)?
Mary's game (no spoilers) next game I think is something I really want to play in!
I do also want to fuck with the Shell-Celeste alliance because I know March personally has a massive amount of resentment towards Shell but is holding back because by god does Celeste need the non-aggression. But the whole attacking Dragon and letting them almost get crushed when they knew Celeste had no one else (and would have died if Cardinal hadn't randomly picked them as a potential ally.)
and yes LET'S RUIN THE CR BLUE BALLS AND EVERYTHING it's mostly that I just don't want March to start it because boy starts so much drama and ruining their alliance would wreck his self-esteem even further into the abyss of ~everything I touch~
YES I definitely want to be mindful of that! (uh, 'that' being dumping ~all of the failure~ on March) Because that's not something even ICly desired! Anyway, yeah, a thing will happen! And in general, unless he were to go after her teammates she wouldn't try to make a team-level fuss, especially if he were to remind her that they have the moral high ground on the alliance (since he does!) so he doesn't really need to tiptoe that much around when she baits him. But also that's why I was thinking if there could be a way to get the rest of Shell beholden to Celeste then the alliance wouldn't have to be such a source of tension within Shell either, which I'd imagine would make it less a source of tension within Celeste?? I'm sorry my team's been pretty worthless lately but...hopefully...something can shake them up??
Uhh gamewise I'd like to have something where...that can happen, actually! In general I tend to prefer games where you have to do a lot of off-team interaction just because I like spamming around, but at this point I think that games where you need to work as a team, preferably to attack or protect someone would be good--C-teams have a lot of beef and draw hate, but in general no one cares about the S-teams, even when they in?advertently dick everyone over. Also, someday I'm going to finish working out the rules to run team-based(?) Marry-Fuck-Kill, or a simpler version of Ruby game, but every time I think about it I get distracted... Also also I want games where you have to directly hurt your teammates :') Because that's always the worst thing to characters I play :') Maybe if you were partnered and you had to hurt the partner instead that'd be kosher :') Also also also, less easily-healed physical stuff and more mildly (or majorly) off-putting mental/emotional stuff. And nightmare/ideal world game. and and and blah blah I like games
UH WHAT HAVEN"T YOU BEEN ASKED THAT YOU WANTED TO BE ASKED
(also I'm sorry none of my answers have been very long yet not made any sense)
OH I WOULD LIKE THOSE GAMES I really want some more CR building games. July's booked out, so I'm only running one for partner-building relationships, but in August I'm going to try and run a mixed supply game and some other games hopefully for more AND NOW CR DO IT DO IT
But nah you can't have a game where you have to directly hurt your teammates or partners. YOU CAN ONLY MAKE THEM HURT EVERYONE ELSE.
