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 are thinking of 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.

Oh, gosh! That's a good question. XD

Happiest of my characters is definitely Nuriko. I pulled Nuriko from after her canon death, and her comrades all managed to achieve what their original goal was (saving their country), so she has very little in the way of unfinished business, coupled with a great appreciation for her ability to live longer as herself in Darrow. Add in the fact that she actually has a romantic relationship, which she never had before in her world, and she's always in various stages of over the moon.

The least happy is probably Yukio, although not for any Darrow-specific reasons. On the whole, he's just always the most stressed and depressed character of those that I have, given his degree of self-hatred and the nervousness he feels over protecting his brother, Rin. Darrow changes up the game in a way that makes him even more uncomfortable than usual, and this will be heightened during an upcoming plot of his, but there's nothing specific about Darrow that he individually hates. Just the whole premise shift is uncomfortable and adds on to his already constant misery.

If we're looking at who is least happy from the perspective of hurt by Darrow, it's Chase at the moment, because he just lost House and doesn't have any of the close friends he'd built up over the past several years with him in the city.

I know Fred's all kinds of awesome, but what is it that appeals to Billy so?

[b_radwick]

Probably Tauriel, because it would be fun to just chat with her and soak up all the stuff she knows and introduce my kids to her.

Jesse is a bit too extroverted and outgoing for me to hang out long term. The only thing we'd have in common is movies and he's way, way more into them than I am.

Kaine is a grumpy asshole and the only thing we have in common is Spider-Man and I love Spidey and Kaine hates him.

Billy is a petulant teenage boy. Enough said.

[b_radwick]

Fred is the first person that Billy saved in the City, so thinking of her is associated with feeling like a hero. Plus she's beautiful but not in a way that she's vain about it and she's also really smart but isn't superior about it. Essentially she's super awesome and attractive in a lot of ways but acts like she doesn't realize it, so that helps make Billy feel like he's got a chance (like in his mind she's reasonable enough to look past the age thing and go, "Oh, of course we should date, Billy.").

Chris finds a genie lamp and gets three wishes. What would he wish for? (And ix-nay on wishing for more wishes.)

My favorite thing about playing Hannah, other than the fact that generally, when I do so, I'm just ridiculously happy, is that I see a lot of myself in her. Like, a lot. But we clearly handled our shit very differently, and so it's like... she's... the version of me that actually became a lawyer and fell in love and got married and had a kid, and she has this kind of amazing life that, in learning to embrace what she wants over what she "should" want, is basically the perfect example of what she was trying too hard to get all along. And, yeah, living out that alternate life, I guess? Yes.

Olive... everything. I love the highs and the lows, I love that she's actually a really unreliable narrator, and I love the access she gives me to so many aspects of the game because she clicks with so many different kinds of people. I think my favorite has to be getting to watch her grow up, though. She was 17 when I first started playing her, and she turns 21 in June, and I really feel that I've done a good job of keeping her recognizably who she is in the movie while still having her grow and evolve, and a lot of that has been in her relationship with Eduardo, where, between being with him and being away from home, she's in a much more adult position than she would have been at this point in her life back home.

I'm trying not to be long-winded but I can't stop oh my god

My favorite thing about Gwen is potential. Like, that's the word that's always in my head with her. I think the great tragedy of Gwen Stacy can't be about Peter's grief. It has to be about the loss and about his arrogance and this big turning point in his story, but on her side, that comes from so much potential. She's so bright and kind and the world loses a lot not having her in it. But potential is unfulfilled, and Gwen is still so young, so there's this really enjoyable blend of someone who is very mature but not very grown up, who's sort of aged by circumstance but still very much a kid, and I enjoy that juxtaposition.

Oh, Gracie. At the risk of making her sound less fully realized than she is in my head, she's my chance to play with clichés, and what's underneath all that. Gangster Squad didn't spend a whole lot of time on why Grace is the way she is or where she's from or any of that, but there's stuff to extrapolate from, and I've had a lot of fun pulling together this girl who's really so quintessentially American, and using bits and pieces of very cliché old stories to create her background, because I think that she does that. Grace is so vulnerable and fragile that she's built herself a shield concocted from the movies she grew up on, and it's shaped like Lauren Bacall and Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner, and she mimics them in her movement and her voice and her speech when she's not with someone she trusts as completely as she does Jerry (and sometimes then too), so I like getting to play with that trope-studded surface and what it's hiding, which is, really, a story as old as Hollywood. And it means I get to mimic that very stylized 1940s film dialogue style from time to time which is so much fun.

I WISH. HE WOULD LOVE TO GO TO SPACE. Bitcoin is out of the question, but he might one day get his settlement from the Facebook case. I've been putting it off, though, and probably will for a while to come, because I enjoy seeing him struggle with being lower middle class. 8D

Has Clementine given thought to what she wants to do when she grows up? Has she started viewing Darrow in that light — as a place with a sustainable future?

[goddamnbatman]

Blrgh, that's actually my main hesitation b/c he WOULD, and Jim needs a Bones or a stand-in for Bones, and I wouldn't be able to play off my own char to get that for him, thus depriving him of yet another "Bones"

Annnnnnd. Honestly they're all pretty easy to find their voice, I really only app the ones that grab me by the balls and leave me no choice, but it terms of writer fatigue, it's probably Will, if only b/c he's so absorptive of what's around him.

[goddamnbatman]

At such nebulous time as when I get my shit together and that goddamn Musketeer goes away

[di]

What is the one thing that Draco most regrets having done in the past? Conversely, what's one thing that he feels strongly was the right choice for him and would do again in a heartbeat?

[b_radwick]

If you could place any of your characters into the canon of another, which one would you move and to where and why would you?

[di]

How would Newt feel about a world in which the only pilots who could operate Jaegers were fourteen-year-olds? Would he be in support of letting them pilot, or would he rather restrict them and do whatever possible to fight with less effective means?

[b_radwick]

A roommate so money isn't so tight! (plus, more flashing would be okay).

You are welcome to tag it! He'll have a hard time not looking at her chest!

[warmandsad]

WOW. That's an amazing and kind of incredibly cruel question because what 4/5 kinda shitty canons. I guess I'd put Kathy into Mindy's canon because New York, somewhere she'd never have gone otherwise, and she can be a nurse at the clinic or something fun like that.

[warmandsad]

If you could only rescue one of your pups from their canon, who would it be and why?

[di]

If the universe of Darrow were a lot larger, such that Jim could roam and explore for his entire life without having traveled to all of it, would that allay most of his frustrations about the city?

[warmandsad]

What's the best and the worst thing about playing Harley? At what point did you just know you had to play him?

[di]

What is Ilithyia's ideal vision and ambition for her place within the city of Darrow?

[di]

Are there ways in which DeMarr treats his superhero antics in Darrow vastly differently than he does in his own world? Does his perception of Darrow change his actions?

[warmandsad]

Which of your pups do you think "needs" to be in Darrow the most? (For rescuing from their canon, for reasons of personal change, etc.)

[di]

What types of one on one interactions are you most hoping to experience with Alex?

[b_radwick]

Not soon enough, I would like to lodge a formal complaint.

Also, you could app her and then app the Musketeer when there's more canon.

[di]

(Sorry, I'm a little selfish with the first set of questions.)

How does Flavia feel about Sawyer? What kind of relationship does she perceive him as having with her?

Does Flavia view Darrow as being a world of more opportunity than her own, or vice versa?

[warmandsad]

What are you hoping Annie will get out of being in Darrow?

[di]

What are a couple areas of growth or development that you would most like to accomplish for Elsa? (Either short-term or long-term.)
