I imagine that in-between the business of living his life Spear will allow himself to be TARDIS-napped for the occasional Lyvus shenanigans, and whenever he accumulates enough leave he will pay everyone he doesn't see during Lyvus-nappings visits to see how they're getting on. ...He will probably ask that people not randomly visit him because that could go badly, given his world. :Db

Tell me more about Tazendra and Aerich in Sabra!

Okay, so I apped Tazendra knowing that a few players knew her canon, but I never expected a canonmate for her becuase... well, book characters. (Hell, I didn't even tell anyone I was doing it, so until her app was approved, no one didn't know a thing.)

Bones specifically offered to play Aerich and even good-ended Bones to clear up a slot. I was away when Apus was intro'd, so I had to wait to have them meet -- it was before Tazendra had remembered him and Aerich had remembered anything but it was all 'hey, you are probably from my world'. I did find it hilarious that Tazendra had been there for at least a month IC time before Aerich arrived, and Corvus's terrible win record meant she didn't remember someone that important to her. Which... well, considering Royal was freaking out over Euphy on Apus might have been a bit much.

Honestly, I expected that Aerich would get his 'Tazendra dies' memory quickly, because... well, if I were a Judge and I knew two characters knew each other, giving them memories that 'your important person is DEAD' is sweet. After that... it was kind of funny that he told her, but, because he did so in third person (she asked what was troubling him, and he did so indirectly enough that she didn't clue in that he meant him and her, even once she had all the pieces), she didn't grok it. Which was fine by me.

Even once Tazendra remembered 'I am strongly attracted to Aerich', she never mentioned it out of 'well, I must have had a good reason'.

Then Mirror hit Tazendra with her penalty, and she was honestly terrified since she knew Aerich was a Duke and she was now a peasant, that he'd no longer be her friend. And he was upset by the change, but not at her and was all 'you are still Tazendra the bravest woman I know and don't even let gene-altering gods tell you otherwise'.

There was also the hilarious Apus/Cygnus 'wedding' during the baby minigame, where somehow Daisy and Aerich got drafted as parents to the baby doll and ended up play-acting a wedding. The first Tazendra heard of it was from Cheer, who didn't know it was part of a game, and Tazendra was all 'well, he's my friend but this is... surprising and upsetting', until Aerich set her straight. (Maya later said OOCly if Cheer had known Tazendra had a thing for Aerich, she would have encouraged her to challenge Daisy for Aerich's hand... that may not have gone well, save for Daisy freaking out and hiding.)

And right after was the honesty game and everyone else was all '... DNW', while Tazendra honestly doesn't see what's scary about public speaking so was so happy she could still help in games. And Lyvus was given the 'confess your love to someone', so Tazendra did so... and it worked. And Everything was Beautiful since neither of them remembered why they hadn't done this sooner.

Until Aerich was all 'I don't know what to wish for' after Tazendra made her wish, I still thought they'd be stuck with 'well, it's been fun', to be honest. Hell, until the final mingle when both revealed 'my team would be mad at me if I stay dead', I thought one or both of them would end up dead at the end of Sabra.

Well, that was long. Tell me about some of your favorite CR?

I really liked the bromance he developed with Rory, deadpan teasing and all. Other than that it's kind of hard for me to pick out because my favorite CR is really ALL THE LYVUS CR. I never managed to play him much off non-Lyvus people. :Db

If you count crack CR though Princess Rory & Princess Spear is my favorite. XD

Reverse!

All the Lyvus was also hilarious for me. I also enjoyed playing Akin with Jace and Ed. It's really hard.

I'm trying to remember; did you know that we'd gone through a couple of Uchihas before apping Itachi?

I did! But that was also really far before my time so I figured there wouldn't be much effect on Itachi unless Sasuke was re-apped.

Any future RP plans?

Well, I'm playing at Entanglement over on DW and I brought in Zel to Thusia (also on DW). I know a bunch of the Dragaera folks talked about putting together a cast somewhere, but who knows where. (I probably wouldn't play Tazendra for a bit; I want to make sure I can separate her canon voice from Honor; as for Honor, she got her happily ever after.) I'm apping a god there (as a god, not a PC) and may consider bringing in an original character.

You?

I'm currently Ace at Aather on DW and I have plans to app Sabra!Alice to Thusia. If I app anyone else it will probably be to one of those two games, but I have no solid ideas on who yet.

Anything you want to do with yours but didn't get a chance to?

Get Akin more into the keystone hunt, since he and Sion wanted to preserve some of the Judges as allies, but... it never happened, since we just couldn't get the time.

I also wish I'd done a better job at playing Marla, so I didn't end her so soon.

So, tell me about Aather. (To be honest, the cast size looked... daunting...)

Aather's set-up is really similar to Sabra -- amnesiac teams competing in games run by godlike beings in order to regain memories. However, the overall feel of the game is a lot different. It lacks that edge of survival/horror and there's a much stronger sense of community among the characters, of all the teams working together as one despite being made to compete.

It's actually sort of interesting to see how different the community dynamic is, even knowing that Aather functions differently from Sabra despite their similar set-up. I would say the tone of Aather is overall a lot lighter, so it's kind of nice to get to play the amnesia sans murdercave -- though Aather has its fair share of trauma games too.

I agree that the cast size is sort of daunting and Aather is really fast-paced -- mingle posts that get close to or over 1000 comments are the norm. That's all I can think up to say, let me know if you want more info about something. o/

And as for a question... Tell me about Entanglement? :?

Yeah; Sabra was daunting to keep up with. My god, I'll have weekends again! I'm not sure I'm ready to join a large, fast game again, as fun as amnesia non-murdercave would be.

Okay, so Entanglement is set on a space station nicknamed the Junkstation basically because it's mostly made of derelict spaceships (seriously, the mods took like half a dozen franchises, plus plenty of random space debris crap to design it). The station is home to a resistance against the Fay'lia Empire, a multiverse empire of aliens out to colonize all the things and teach all you barbarians to be civilized. Some of the PCs are part of the resistance, some were dragged there by Ancient Alien Technology, some are trying to capitalize on things*, some are double agents and some are just along to get laid. NPCs currently lead the station, but the option is open for PCs to get elected to their positions. (The resistance is also pretty factionalized: of my characters, Lafiel tends to want military solutions, Georgia is a journalist who wants to start Radio Free Multiverse and Ai believes in the Power of Love.)

The tone is a mix between serious and Hitchiker's Guide style of humor: we've done things like defend against attacks and smooze unaligned planets... but also made and advertised (at a con) a magical girl propaganda show and stole Christmas by assassinating Santa Claus** and put Darth Vader on a roomba because we didn't have a proper body for him when the character showed up post Episode III. So, sometimes silly, but not cracky, if it makes sense.

It's a lot slower than Sabra, and a somewhat small game, and a haven for less-common SF canons, though there are a few popular things (Dragon Age, Homestruck).

I can't think of a good question...

* Actually, we might have had all our double-agents drop.
** Seriously, the Fay'lia used a Santa-like figure to assassinate troublemakers on one world, so we had to intervene.

Oooh, killing Santa Claus.

And I think I'm out of questions too. :(b But Entanglement sounds really interesting, I'll have to give it a look.

Eee! it's entanglement_rp over on DW.
