The One Called X The One Called X

I kind of based Berry off of this gif I saw.

cat.gif


Of course you don't reload him with love cause he won't take it.
 
FKK

Dangling cat guns officially counts as animal abuse. Just think of the recoil! His poor ears!
This is why Iksel will never trust Brie as a surgeon. xD

Angelica: I was actually wondering that. How does a rich kid like you end up in a place like this?

Iksel: Well actually...

Option Select:
>>>Are you coming onto me?
>>>-Slams down drink- Missy have I got a tale for you.
>>>Masochism and self-hate, apparently.

This is a visual novel now, yes.


Also I've had something on my chest for the past week and I just have to get it out...
I can't think of Angelica without hearing the Schuyler Sisters song. It doesn't help that she kinda looks like a younger version of the actress. >,> <,< >,>>'''

All the options are good. I cannot decide. I kind of like the first one, that I may respond thusly:

Angelica: *raucous laughter*

ur link is broken fren

but great now that song is in my head to. It's kind of weird- I've never actually listened to Hamilton as a whole. I've heard songs here and there, and generally like them, but I never actually got into it. Dunno why. :/
 
If you can't even handle being around a dog, what the hell are you doing on this ship?
W h a t i s t h a t s u p p o s e d t o m e a n ?

EDIT:
By the way
"Unless you are actually hurt, do not call out for my help?"
Well there's something hurt now

MY FEELINGS

oh god that gave me the most hilarious mental image of someone picking up and aiming the gun while Berry just... dangles
I am loving this mental image! (The poor kitty ears, though, yes. :/: )

Also Faraday's cheeks, I bet.

The mental image is indeed a beute. Maybe we can trust Brie enough to make it in such a way to save the kitty any harm.
Maybe.

Angelica: *raucous laughter*

The sad thing is I'm 99% sure this misunderstanding is our destiny.

ur link is broken free

Oh. Whoops.
It's hard to be a theatre geek and not get swept up into it lol. Though the play is pretty damn impressive and the songs quite catchy. I think the entire CD is up for free on Spotify if you ever find yourself doing chores or something and want to chance a listen.
But yeah...I can't read Angelica's name without hearing it sung. xD You're welcome.

Funny how everyone knows from the very beginning that she'll end up as a lonely sidechick.
*And then there's the other Angelica, who has some pretty nice songs and can't pilot.

Yes. It'll be beautiful. Angelica's gonna be like "Look here sonny I may be hard-up for male attention but I only like men."

And yeah... I am currently in the remission stage of theater geekdom. xD It'll probably cycle around to the forefront again in a bit, but right now I'm in kind of a Metallica/Fall Out Boy/Killers phase.

Watch out. I hear Apollo might push Nine into guys in an effort to keep her from her future leave plan, so she might be similarly aggressive with Angelica. "Oh, you have man problems? HERE'S SOMEONE."

FIGHT ME BITCH

As long as it isn't the Captain.

Although Apollo, being not painfully oblivious, might figure out Angelica's ~feelings~ and shove her in that general direction which would just lead to much confusion and stammering.
 
This is a really good musical.


What does Faraday even do now.


Nova is free, I think, if he just wants to impose himself on someone? Emil is also by himself. Or he could stumble into a semi-private conversation (Woods and Apollo, Torrey and Opal, Angelica and Nine). Probably want to leave Toki and Brie alone, but Aleksander, Winston, and Iksel are all around the food and not engaged in conversation at the moment if memory serves.

Or he can loudly cry.
 
Brie. Brie. Just the thought of her made Nova vigilant. She had a habit of popping up from random places to offer assistance. Yesterday she almost swung a door open in Nova's face, which earned her a sharp scowl. Needless to say, she avoided Brie when she could; even going as far to swap beds with Nine to fool her.

Avoiding plague Brie like a boss~
Can't be too careful at night now.
 
Life. Life. : Nova absolutely avoids Brie like the plague. Subconsciously double-checks her surroundings at any given time, and is always sure to be as far as possible. Anything to avoid the surgeon's scrutiny. :)
 
Additionally, below is a semi-long summarisation / thought piece I copy-pasted from the pirate women group-chat about Nova. I think it's worth for everyone to read, and not just the women:

"I gave some thought to the whole 'romancing' Nova ( since a lot of you are already communicating about this ), and while it says in my CS that Nova doesn't have a preference for either gender, she does lean towards women. Maybe a single-sided crush on someone? ( I don't like the word 'crush' because it implies what a middle / high schooler would say ), but Nova does like women. She likes to dominate.

The idea behind Nova's character is that she is still discovering herself. I created Nova to be a character that evolves ( interactions will determine how she does ), but at the core of her story, it's about her disillusion of self. Time is never clear to her; she lives by echoes. I want her to be a character that is close to the reader on a personal level that it's almost intimidating, and simultaneously, charismatic. She's like a breath on your neck, only the breath is different for some ( sexual, pure intimidation? That's up to you ). She was shot in the head fifteen years ago. Even if Brie helped her, there is no way she will ever recover 100%. She asks a lot of questions that may seem redundant, but it's to help her stay cognisant and remembering.
I don't want people to perceive her as a character who has 'been through sh*t' and 'has PTSD', because that's far from the truth. Readers associate having a missing limb, sensory, background, et cœtera with, '
Oh, they must be damaged people', which is fine. Your characters can perceive her that way, but Nova doesn't see herself in that light. She knows exactly what she did and when she made that decision.

Admittedly, I'm incredibly attached to Nova as a character. But as a writer, I don't ever want to write a character for the sake of 'something', I want my characters to be ones that evolve―mentally or physically. Nova doesn't pity herself; she's not sad about her brain damage or what she's done. She's trying to understand. Say Brie finally catches her to check on her arm, Nova would ask something like 'Why do you want to help me?'―she isn't asking that because she pities herself and doesn't 'deserve' to be helped. She's genuinely curious why Brie goes out of her way. Nova can change the bandages by herself, but another human being with the desire to be her friend or offering a hand baffles her. She was shot in the head―twice―and buried alive in the desert. She has always helped herself. So the concept of friends, family, romantic, et cœtera is different to her, though not unwelcome."

No worries. Take care of yourself. The roleplay can wait.

Sorry to hear that. I hope things turn out for the better.
