Meme: Reverse Questions

[not_acute]

Muns: Post here listing all of the characters you play (you might want to list journals, too, just for reference) or will be playing.

Everyone: Ask the MUNS anything about the GAME or THEIR PUPS, because we all know the muns will answer when the characters won't. They can be specific questions ("How does he feel about her?") or general questions ("Why did you choose this pup?", "How do you channel them?", etc.) You can even have pups ask the questions, but ANSWERS are coming from the MUNS.

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MIKE THINKS ABOUT JESSE

[dynamicsymmetry]

Weirdly protective. He senses that Jesse is fundamentally a decent person, and it's a feature of his bizarre little amorally moral system to want to try to make it possible for decent people to continue being decent. He also senses that Jesse has some self-destructive tendencies, which is why he's protective at all.

He isn't judgmental about using drugs on principle, but he's not impressed by the idea of Jesse doing so.

✈ Mike: What aspects of Rukia's personality or experiences intrigue Mike? Is fatherhood something that he mentally holds separate from the rest of his life, or is everything very intertwined?
✈ Delta: Are there any similarities between Darrow and Rapture that have really struck him?
✈ Jordan: Are there people in Darrow who've already made a strong impact on Jordan? If so, who?

Mike: Mostly, Rukia's closeness to death. Mike's relationship with death has always been immensely complex - dying will do that to you, but even before that - and especially what happens after death, which is still mysterious to him. He's fascinated by idea of lingering vs. moving on, judgment, and what it takes to see loved ones again. She's a window to one version of that for him, and he's drawn to that.

There's also the way she's an old soul in a young body, which he's drawn to at least in part because he's come to believe that he and Neil - and probably most other people - are the same, even if they don't remember it. She's aware of what it means to have seen so much, to accumulate more than a lifetime's worth of experience, and there's something about that he finds almost comforting.

As far as fatherhood goes, it's such a core part of his identity that at this point it informs almost everything he thinks and feels and does. Even when he's at his most violent or sadistic it's still there, if nothing else because he's always focused on how to protect his daughters, even from himself.

Delta: Almost everything that's stood out to Delta about Darrow are the ways in which it's not like Rapture. No one's chosen to be there, there is no single guiding vision behind it, people appear to be at least mostly free to do what they want. The only real similarity that he sees - and that he hadn't expected - is that both are dangerous. In both, he's had to protect the people he cares for, and he fully expects to have to do so again.

Jordan: Almost everyone she's met has made a strong impact on her, usually because they've helped her or been kind to her when they didn't have to, but the two people who have probably made the biggest impact on her so far are Tommy Conlon and Peeta Mellark, both because they've given her the sense that they understand trauma and have some idea of what she's going through. She's wrestled with serious loneliness, so that's been incredibly important to her.

Do you have a favorite pup to play?

[dynamicsymmetry]

'Favorite' is a tricky word. I'd say that the easiest pup to play is Mike, and that's mostly because I've been playing him now for the better part of a decade (what the actual fuck). Of all of them, he's also the most enduring, and the one I'm 99% sure I'll be hanging onto after the others are gone.

So yeah, maybe he is my favorite.

How is Delta dealing with what's happening with Lily/HOW DOES HE FEEEEEL?

What's the hardest part of playing Mike?

SPARTACUS. How many times will he try to kill Ilithyia?

[dynamicsymmetry]

God, he doesn't even know. He knows what it is to love Eleanor, but romantic love is still a little bit beyond him aside from its basic concepts, so while he's feeling at least components of that for Lily, he has no idea how to fit them into words. He knows that he loves being around her, that he loves how she makes him feel, that he loves sex with her :E and that he wants to keep doing what they do. But I doubt he'd actually say the L word to her anytime soon. IF YOU WERE WONDERING

There is no hard part of playing Mike anymore.

Okay, actually, one thing that's difficult is that he gives me the worst fucking bleed out of any of them, and that includes positive bleed. Playing him is still so fun even after something like seven years, but it can also be emotionally exhausting.

God. I'm not actually sure he'd straight up try to kill her, at least not at first, not unless she gives him a good reason that goes beyond just being her. He hates her, and he'll be beyond upset that she's there and not Sura, but I think he'll be too initially confused and freaked out to have the focus for killing (same applies to Caesar, probably). And then when he meets the baby it'll get even more complicated. Yay.

[intheenditslove]

THAT IS PROBABLY A GOOD THING. Lily could probably fall in love with him and go on loving him for a very long time without it ever needing to be said. XD Also, yeah, their sex life is going to be awesome.

Mike. :3 Seven years, Jesus Christ. I completely know what you mean about the bleed, though, I get the same way with Kate and Andrea, especially. When they're excited/happy, I'm bouncing off walls.

GOD, I AM SO EXCITED FOR SPARTACUS.

Does Mike trust Castiel?

What would you like to explore with him that you haven't been able to?

[forthedog]

Almost as much as he trusts anyone at this point, yeah. He knows that when Castiel is in full possession of his grace he's very dangerous, and he gets the sense that Cas isn't always as self-aware as he might be, but he definitely trusts him to always mean well. And if it came down to it, Cas is one of the few people Mike would absolutely trust with the safety of his family.

I don't usually have things that clearly planned with Mike. I guess I'd say that I'm in the process of exploring what I haven't really been able to to date, which is his much darker side sans any angst, almost to the point of being mildly psychopathic. He doesn't feel any guilt or even any fear to speak of anymore, and those are things that have always followed him around before now. That means his inhibitions and boundaries are much less present than they were, which is interesting to deal with.
