hey chiffon hey bubbles :D

COCO IS WONDERFUL! Chiffon thinks she's really cool and admirable and brave, she hasn't seen enough of her to know her issues or her fears so right now she's kind of up on a pedestal. She knows she gets sad about things and upset and hurt, but Coco seems to strive above that and keep going with a smile. Coco cuddled Chiffon and tried to make her feel better when she arrived screaming, she said she wanted to change things and see this horror to the end which gave Chiffon a lot of hope that things could be fixed, and then during the memory event even though Chiffon was going crazy and attacking people Sol wasn't afraid of her like everyone else was. She tried to protect her and comfort her even when she was injured herself, Chiffon just likes and appreciates her so much. What an amazing person!

Bubbles adores Berry and that is causing her a great deal of distress right now! As she remembers it, Eugene burned her so, so badly and it's completely destroyed everything she believed in and loved and she just can't anymore, feelings are too much! Trusting anyone else comes with far too much baggage, she's terrified that if she believes in her friends they'll betray her too because anyone can betray you. So even though she loves Aoko, Rapunzel can't cope with the idea that she might get hurt again and no matter how well she thinks she knows them she could be completely wrong. So when Aoko came along talking about how she was going to help and it didn't matter if Rapunzel believed in her or not, she'd prove it anyway, it overloaded her. No matter how badly she wants to believe Aoko, she's too scared and hurt and promises to keep being her friend mess her up. She can't cope with that! SHE CAN'T COPE WITH YOU AND YOUR LOVE AOKO :( It doesn't help that before she took the memory she finally told Aoko about Eugene and thief life and Aoko just accepted that and kept on loving her because what if that was a lie too. She doesn't even think it is, she doesn't think Aoko would hurt her, but that doesn't matter because she could obviously be wrong. Again.

is there any kind of impression aside from 'weird girl'

sssort of. Meringue is obviously weird! What is even up with you. But she also knows about her and AKB0048, she's a source of information that Melody is interested in. It spurred Melody on to know more for herself, she was already driven to do it but the fact that there's someone she might know here is an added incentive. She thinks Meringue has her heart in the right place, but she's got to strengthen her convictions and learn to GO FOR THINGS. Fight harder, believe you can fight harder, what's with this 'if I can change it', there should be no 'if' about it! Despite how standoffish she seems, Melody really does want people around her to be the best they can, so she's going to try and encourage Meringue. BE PREPARED TO GET TOLD YOU SUCK A LOT THAT'S HOW YOU HELP PEOPLE RIGHT.

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME SO FAR MERINGUE

...FIRST IMPRESSIONS FROM CHIERI? I think she and Van hit off pretty well considering the context...

Oh yes, Selenia is the most legit. He listened to her and gave her credit for her views, she felt respected by him (and Roxas) in a way she just didn't with the others in the room. Melody kept getting told she was too new and a child and should be coddled, she didn't like that at all and the fact that Selenia didn't react like that gave her some validation. She hasn't had many positive first impressions, Selenia is one of the few people who's managed to just make himself wholly appreciated. She respects him back, he's older and wiser and more experienced than her and she does have some regard for that, no matter how much she was scolding the other aather veterans to take her seriously. Selenia took that and ran with it, she's prepared to listen to him in the future and wouldn't mind talking to him again.

What's Selenia's first impression of her?

STUBBORN FOOLHARDY CHILD that reminded him too much of...Sapphire. He was inwardly going "not this again". :'D She also apparently had just arrived and had one memory so he was genuinely concerned that she would get in over her head so he...offered his own experiences so she hopefully wouldn't do something similar, in that game and also hopefully in future games as well. Which was a pretty big opening up move for him, but it seemed to be the most effective way to get through.

But she listened to him and agreed with the group which was a good thing to see! Selenia's pretty sure she just wanted to show she could do her part and wanted to be treated as an equal, and he hopes she came away from the game with a better idea of what it means to work together and do your part in a group setting.

AND NOW BUBBLES ON SELENIA.

First impressions?

Chiffon thinks Tamaki is a big sweetheart, she doesn't know him that well or that deeply but she likes him. He seems legit! And despite getting freaked out by her skin condition initially she thought he handled that very well. Good for you Tamaki! Earned some respect points there.

Reverse?

Tamaki's opinion is pretty much, what a nice boy BUT WHY FACE EXPLODE??? Gosh I just want him to show up and make her face explode all the time tho, just all like, HEY BUDDY—AAAAHH!!

Harley what do you think of that guy Cassius who doesn't have any secret identities at all?

FIRST IMPRESSION OF KANO

KANO IS A SKEEVY JERK except oh no I was also being a jerk we were all being roleplay jerks! She's really guilty she tried to hurt him and took the disguise so seriously, it affected her but that. Um. That was too much! Better apologise D: She is trying not to take any impression of him right now because who knows what he's really like, she wants to give him a chance. And say she's sorry. Very sorry.

Any impressions of Robin?

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" would be the first.

He feels SO BAD and wants to make it up to Robin but at the same time doesn't want to approach because LOL. LOOOLLL. He knows the disguise very seriously and even if his actions weren't his own that ability is still his own and he doesn't want to be hated for that either oops.

Robin seems like a good person tho--playing the hero's role, becoming concerned over him. It sucks ROBIN IS CLEARLY A GOOD PERSON and I was a jerk. :(

Harley on Marina?

BEST FRIEND :D Marina is awesome and funny and smart and Harley thinks she's fantastic. Harley's a little intimidated by her, getting on Marina's bad side sounds like a terrible idea, but it's an intimidation spiked with admiration. Wow Marina is so clever and good at getting what she wants I bet she has no problems ever. FOREVER AMAZED WITH SMART PEOPLE. There's a lot of love and loyalty towars Marina, Harley trusts her completely and she is probably one of her favourite people to hang out with, even if she gets so serious about studying around exam time. Harley plays up her reactions about studying to cover her own insecurities about her bad grades, but Marina is easier to get around than Rozaline and Blythe so she's a little more willing to be caught and tease her. It takes some of the edge off, which is something Marina is just really good at, lightening the mood and making everything easier to cope with.

She also loves making Roz squirm with Marina because we are GOOD FRIENDS.

Marina on Harley do you love me too

She adores Harley! They work well together and she's fun to team up against the princess with. They're both very energetic people so they kind to feed into each other's :D a lot. She admires how strong and brave Harley is, something that she is not. When things get bad, she generally gravitates towards being near Harley whenever possible--it makes he feel safe. She's a little jealous of how brave and strong Harley is and wishes she could be more like that.

/BADGER BADGER BADGER

CONSTANT FISH HANDS AT TIRAMISU

On the one hand, she respects him and likes him and thinks he's fun to banter with. Arguing with each other that time about who should rest more was kind of enjoyable and made her feel better, it was a nice enjoyable stress relief. Chiffon views him as a weird mix of silly and serious, and though it took some getting used to it's interesting and endearing. Tiramisu can be really cute too! Dessert bonding was super cute and Tira needs more nice things to get excited about. She likes the fluff!

On the other hand LAWYER!! How do I deal with you how do I hide things from you, you're always saying things that cause alarm and then getting flustered and trying to change the subject I SEE YOU DOING THAT DON'T THINK I DON'T WHY CAN YOU GET AWAY WITH AVOIDANCE AND NOT ME. She knows he's been through a lot and respects that throughout all his suffering he's still going strong and standing up for what he believes in, yes good want everyone to live! But she gets the impression he's very selective with what he reveals and what he isn't, and she tries to show him some courtesy in not making him talk about things he doesn't want to. AND HE DOESN'T LET HER GET AWAY WITH IT >( Stupid Lawyer making me confront my problems when it only makes you even more worried. She doesn't actually have any ill will towards him for it, it's just frustrating. Maybe I'll start pressing you when I see you avoiding things, huh!

She does respect him a lot, he's so strong willed and passionate, and the story about Iron got to her. She admires that he overcame the issues he had with demons and learned to appreciate them as people, but she's still a little nervous that he's still afraid of her. She wouldn't hold it against him if he did, she's pretty scary after all! It just makes her sad to think about. Please just like me and never ask me about anything ever okay :(

NOW REVERSE ME

Relationship me for Macaron!! (Also first impressions with JD.)

Macaron still flusters her a bit! She's a little hesitant about Luna's manipulations because what if Macaron just has more memories and knows how to do it better? It reminds her of when Macaron said she wanted to get through Systems game without causing harm and giving first aid and then they won it. Macaron clearly doesn't always follow through and she has disproportionate emotional reactions and it's kind of weird. Chiffon is cautious around her, but even so she wants to trust Macaron. She tries so hard and helps so much, it almost feels unkind not to give her the benefit of the doubt. That doesn't stop the possibility from being in the back of her mind, however. The fact is she likes Macaron, she doesn't understand why dying on a monthly basis wouldn't be comforting but she also teaches first aid and meditation and FOOD, she gets enthusiastic about information gathering and mystery solving. She's lost half her soul which is A PRETTY BIG DEAL, and doesn't let that stop her. If Macaron is as genuine as Chiffon wants to believe, she's impressive! Chiffon doesn't fully understand her but she wants to, she wants to learn more about Macaron and help her and in some ways impress her. Macaron is nice to have around as a friend and teammate despite everything.

JD is fun! She's an entertaining and upbeat, Chiffon liked talking to and hanging around with her. She hasn't heard much about Cardinal's reputation and what she has, she has no inclinations to hold against her. She's also not that bothered about handcuffing Tiramisu because everyone seemed good natured about it and Tira was fine. So although Chiffon knows that JD is a bit of a troll and to be wary of pranks, she likes her. A+ would quest with again.

Reverse?

CHIFFON YOU ARE MY FRAND. [:)]

But no, Macaron has noted Chiffon's dedication to not hurting anyone, and while she thinks the sentiment is naive she also respects him for having it. She feels legitimately kinda bad about what happened while she was Luna, but at the same time she's sort of just moved on and decided to let her actions speak for her. She's already apologized, after all... and the best way forward is just showing that she's legit. She does want to get closer to him as friends, and she's also worried about what will happen when he realizes that his original ideal is just not going to work. She also wants to talk at him a lot about how she thinks and stuff since Chiffon seems to already like looking at people as people and as a result he may know how to do it better.

But no mostly he gets a lot of points already for just accepting her right off like he did, and even with the bumps she's really fond of him. ILU TEAMIE.

JD's side of things is much more muted. She thinks Chiffon is naive as hell, but she enjoyed talking with him, and he makes a really convenient person to be hanging with when she needs to go around and play nice. She doesn't mind the idea of hanging out more, but this is as much out of self interest as it is out of 'oh hey you're kind of cool.' He turned into a demon and scared her that one time but when she came back to herself it was just like 'ehh, so he's a demon' because actual!JD gives no actual fucks. SO YEAH nothing strong but moderately positive, don't eat me and we're all alright. :|a

Any memories you're looking forward to?

So, Chiffon, opinion of the resident moonkid?

Chiffon doesn't know Caramel very well, they haven't threaded a lot we should fix that! She thinks he's cute, a nice kid that takes things in stride. He didn't panic when she was demon blorting, he was very sympathetic and attempted music, it was very sweet. Plus floating is cool.

Any opinions in retur?

Standard disclaimer: Caramel does not do relationships and bonding well. He's getting better, but as a whole, he's still bad at it. So it's not that Chiffon is doing anything wrong (though it's probably my fault that we haven't threaded much, we definitely should fix that ^^;), it's just that Caramel finds bonding hard. That, and Chiffon hasn't proven that he/she/I-get-confused-at-pronouns-here-orz is going to stick around, and there's been a lot of turnover in the last member of Teal, so Caramel currently kind of slots Chiffon in the "probably won't stick around so it's probably not much use even trying to get close" category...

That's not to say that he doesn't like Chiffon though! Chiffon is cool in his book - partially because by default members of Teal are pretty cool in his book, but partially because Chiffon comes off as a nice person. And the whole demon blorting thing... well, he's seen scarier, and he doesn't get shaken easily. If it turns out to be just how Chiffon is, then things are fine. If it turns out to be a problem, then he'll just work on a way to fight the demon! Because that's what he does.

But yeah, um... that doesn't change the fact that if Chiffon disappeared into the Bigger Picture, he wouldn't really notice for a while. I'M SORRY MY TINY HAS MINOR SOCIAL PROBLEMS and also I've been slow and my schedule has sucked and we need to thread more yes.

...So, what is Chiffon's favorite animal?

anyyy updates?

Nnnnot really, aside from the obvious LOST FAITH IN EVERYONE FOREVER. Shirayuki is a little ahead of most people from the inner demons event, she handled it very gracefully and impressed Bubbles and she tried to protect her, so Shirayuki has some leeway but that just means that hope could be used against her even more!!

She's also a little worried for Shirayuki since her inner demon was so silent and Shirayuki is so bad at expressing herself that made her worry more about her coping methods. It also made it pretty rich that Shirayuki then came and lectured her on hiding things haha you hypocrite. Bubbles did not like what Apple said about there not being a point to taking memories if she wasn't going to share things, because, that is a thing that needs to happen? And they were interacting? So why would there need to be a point in spending time with each other why can't we just do it and like nice things you're being silly. If she hadn't gotten super depressed she'd be pressing on that.

Any more feelings on Bubbles?

Hmmmm nothing particularly strong. She is learning to be patient with Bubbles because Bubbles has worries and fears that Apple does not really comprehend, but that does not make them any less real so she made an attempt to support her! Like keeping an eye on her during the Darkness event and trying to help with her inner demon. But since Bubbles said that she would talk if she needed to, Apple is not going to press a thing :’) And as a result is giving Bubbles Lots Of Space to deal with whatever she needs to deal with and will probably be no help whatsoever sorry Bubbles.

Uhhh how is Fire doing??

HARLEY ON BLYTHE AND BARONETTE

WHICH WOULD BE SEPARATELY, BECAUSE WE'RE WINNERS

BLYTHE IS REALLY COOL. Harley has kind of a crush on her, she's really smart and even though she teases her she does actually try to help her, with the tutoring and all, Harley appreciates her a lot. And since she's already seen the thing Harley feels most vulnerable about, she doesn't have much hesitation about letting her emotions loose aroud Blythe. I'm sure Blythe appreciates this! Harley doesn't really pick up on any of her discomfort with deeper personal connections and bonds HEY BLYTHE LET'S TALK ABOUT OUR FEELINGS A LOT. She is very keen to protect Blythe in Court from any of the weeds or possible dangers lurking about, she already let the world end on her gotta do better! And she's considering telling her about the sexshi thing. We are gonna do this friendship thing!!

BARONETTE CAN SUCK HER DICK THOUGH. It's not even anything personal against Baronette, she's furious with all the weeds and wants to beat them up that was her world and her friends and her family you bastards. Harley feels some added animosity towards Baronette from the whole animal subjugation thing, weren't we past this I was starting to think you maybe weren't so bad and then you go and pull this shit! WHAT A TERRIBLE PERSON. She just wants to hit Baronette in her dumb face >(

Now tell me about all your feelings

Harley's energy inspires a weird mix of admiration and exasperation and exhaustion from Blythe--like on one hand it's extremely endearing in an opposites attract kind of way! Blythe can't really imagine caring about things so much, and while she'd be a bit dismissive of the kind of people who are really pushy and adamant but never leave their own comfort zones, Harley tries really hard to achieve things and leaves a noticeable impact on the world around her and it's a little bit astounding.

FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON THOUGH BLYTHE REALLY WANTS HER TO STOP. STOP CARING. STOP EVERYTHING. HOW DO YOU DO THAT? THAT'S TOO MUCH. S T O P. which she channels into villaining as the Baronette because compartmentalizing her feelings makes them more manageable.

BUT THEN ALSO AT THE SAME TIME SHE'S LIKE WORRYINGLY STUPID and the only human social behavior successfully instilled in Blythe by her parents is grudgingly looking after people. which for most people is like, well they can take care of themselves for the most part, so it's just a casual thing and she can quit at any time without worrying about anything! BUT THEN THERE'S HARLEY AND IT'S LIKE. OKAY YOU PROBABLY WON'T GET HURT, BUT YOU'LL PROBABLY GET ARRESTED. AND FINED FOR DAMAGES BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE GOTTEN HURT? LIKE A BUILDING. this is also what got her to stick around the villains so much tbh.

basically Harley is extremely tiring for her EVEN WITHOUT HER DUMPING FEELINGS ON HER. THAT IS JUST AN EXTRA LAYER OF TIRING. normally when someone would start dumping feelings on her she would become extremely caustic and cold towards them except with Harley that wouldn't work to get her off her back at all lol.

BASICALLY IT'S LIKE EQUAL PARTS. YOU'RE REALLY COOL / EXCEPT THAT'S TERRIBLE. / BUT ALSO YOU'RE REALLY UNCOOL

"basically" except the basically was less coherent

it's also tempting to never show her face as the Baronette again because she really doesn't feel like fighting. . . but at the same time it's a venting outlet for her so we'll see how long that lasts I guess

OK BUT I WOULD LIKE CR WITH ROBIN WITH SOMEONE. WHAT KIND OF CR WOULD BE GOOD FOR ROBIN

How hot is your bro tho

YOU'RE NOT HOT AT ALL GET OUT

I mean objectively Chiffon recognises that he is a very attractive man but she's also a lesbian so uh. Bit of a block there alongside the whole incest issue. You're pretty but let's not go there okay.

On the brotherly side of things, Chiffon loves him a lot '^' She is completely aware he is a dangerous and creepy person at this point, though she doesn't understand the full extent of his insanity, it hasn't deterred her from all the dere she feels. Ticky is charismatic and nice to her and even when he is a troll, if she asks him to stop something he does so she feels a certain amount of trust towards him EVEN IF HE IS A SKEEVY JERK SOMETIMES. He's her skeevy jerk. Ticky's always been friendly towards her and straightforward (as she knows it), plus he's the person she feels most at ease with in regard to her own issues. Ticky told her she was a monster before she ever knew anything was wrong, he knew from the start and never treated her any differently, and it means a lot compared to everyone else's initial reactions to it. She feels like she can rely on him a little. The sex game has made things a little awkward since, uh, now she isn't drugged to be okay with it she's pretty uncomfortable with a lot of the things that went down. It's only a little bit of awkward though because Ticky didn't pester her horrifically and she thinks he's more interested in trolling her than fucking her, so it works out. MURDERING PEOPLE THOUGH, bro we are going to have a serious talk about your fetishes. I can accept you being a creepy fuck but that's a bit much.

Chiffon feels quite protective of Ticky. He makes awful life decisions and gets himself maimed and killed and it's ALARMING, she doesn't want him to get hurt. No matter how much he likes it. She is going to lecture him and cuddle him and threaten him without actually doing anything so much!! Chiffon just wants him to take better care of himself and not be so troublesome. Such a high maintenance brother.

NOW DO ME.

Brotherrr. It's kind of weird, because ticky really thinks of her as his Allen, even if he's aware that isn't really correct. He's not the type to quibble the details unless that puts things in his favor. Right now, he wants an Allen and an Allen is here so she's his Allen. Ticky and Allen both have a lot and a little history together. They don't actually know each other well but Allen made a significant impact annnd also he is just family and right now the only family Ticky has. On one has he can't pass up the chance to get a hold on Aan amnesiac Allen, and in the other he just really misses his family. Tbh he'll probably be disappointed when he learns she's an akuma. And then will begin the process of learning that Robin is a distinct person from Allen and that will be weird, but basically right now even though his care for her is genuine it's done with the heavy assumption that she is Allen and everything that means.

But he's Ticky so a lot of its caring us really more just. The decision he has made than true connection or empathy. Once he's decided to recognize her as family he can treat her like it effortlessly. He is pleased she is now listening to him about innocence being terrible and will let him get rid of it =X

SEXUALLY. It wasn't really arching until it was a thing and it may go back to not being a thing. He is definitely attracted to Allen tho really not generally in a sexual way. But that game had Effects and they got to Ticky too. A lot if his crankiness about not getting to bang Robin was probably just. Needing to bang someone.... I don't expect he'll make a big deal about it in the future though he'd definitely fuck her given the chance.

How does she feel about her innocence?
