starchilde_lostTrixa
I have this feeling that I'm failing with Trixa. It's not that she's not loud, because she is, it's that I'm starting to struggle with what to do with her. She NEEDS to get into shenanigans, and there's plenty of opportunity, but trying to do it without getting her into trouble with the officials is difficult in a community this small and closed. In a more open world, I'd have her terrorize or otherwise set up some NPC's to blow off stress, but that's not an option here and after convos with some IPD pups there's really nothing serious she can do to anyone that wouldn't leave evidence that could be followed back to her what with tracking animals and forensic specialists. And the other thing I had planned has people dropping from it for perfectly reasonable reasons and I don't know if it's going to pan out now. Basically I feel like I'm in a rut with her and I don't know how to shake her out of it, especially since Victorian!Island won't really impact her greatly and I doubt I'll be EPing her any time soon.
Rachel
Rachel's doing pretty good right now. Things with Gabrielle have been smoothed out, she's not on edge as she has been emotionally and she's been having some fun in classes and everything. I've just tossed her into Lab Explosion 2011 so I think that will be some fun, well, "fun" at any rate. I need to decide some longer term things for her, but I have no fear that I won't be able to make threads or posts for her. I don't know if I'll EP her in Dec, but again, not too worried.
Edward
Edward is hard for me to play right now because she's energetic and I'm anything but these days, but I have some EP plans for her possibly running around and playing with Steampunk things (possibly exploding them). I need to start focusing on aging her a little because there's this terrible temptation to keep playing her young and she's going to be 14 in January. JANUARY. I also haven't given her an item yet, but damn if I know what it's going to be, she arrived on the island with everything she's ever owned. I was thinking of maybe her father's geo-mapping equipment, but... hm. I need to think.
Florence
If I don't EP just Edward, I might do a combo with Florence and have them finishing a chess game. Or I might just EP Florence, too - it's really going to depend on a few things. I know both what Florence is getting for NDPD and her item and I might give both of them at the same time since it would be easy to conceal the latter in with the former. She's a quiet muse, but I don't have a problem playing her against the pups she knows, and I'm starting to get her out to meet new people.
Phedre
When the language isn't killing me, I LOVE her. I have no idea what she's going to do on the island because, well, she's been there all of a week and change. I keep reading and re-reading sections of canon so it's fresh and I haven't tired of it yet.
Future
NONE. Even if I wanted to, I don't have the time to add anyone to a queue and while there are pups that are in the back of my head, there aren't any screaming to be let out. Usually I stick them in PoTF and they're happy.
