A thirst had finally overcame him of his wandering, which had presently positioned him within the local bar. A glass of whatever alcohol the owner, Lebreau apparently, considered to be the best lay pressed against the table. He’d been wandering for so long without food or drink, nonetheless the trek to this place had already been a large enough workout for him. And with no place to stay, who knew what was possible. Regardless of his thirst, he didn’t drink the strong-smelling liquid, and instead slid a finger against the rim. His thoughts were somewhere else. On someone else. That girl… where had she run off to this time? Was this all a joke, or maybe some spell? How did she manage to end up here?

He’d have to retrace his steps somehow… impossible, being as he just ‘appeared’ on the beachfront.

Lady Two…

“Agh, C’mon now…” His lips parted before finally lifting that glass to his lips to sip at the stinging liquid.

Blink blink.

Whoa, no way. Was it fucking tourist season or somethin'? Folk so tall, she had half a mind to saddle 'em and giddy the fuck up.

Something swelled within her chest, somethin' she didn't understand - somethin' that had all five feet and two inches of angry half-alien whelp stalkin' across the courtyard in what had to be the most ridiculous mockery of a swagger ever.

❤ How long have you been RPing?

Fuck, I was like 8 when I started on the Neopets RP boards? I remember the first one too, it was some stupid wolf rp so I made a ridiculous OC with highly unlikely hair color and some fucking wings, why not, and then it ended like 15 minutes later and I was hooked.

'Course, most of my roleplaying career until the last six months, I was total shit, but y'know. We're not born 20.

❥ How long have you been RPing this character?

Oh jeez, since like, early June? I opened this blog near the tail end of my time on animositatis, right around when the KLK fandom was experiencing its bajillionth huge upheaval of drama, and I was just done man. But yeah, June, so that’s…3 months. Wow. Cool :3

Of course, Light as an actual character’s been a fascination of mine since 2010 when I first played FFXIII. I’ve always been drawn to the more complicated characters and she offered that in spades, but it wasn’t until very recently when I felt I acquired the maturity and ability to do her justice.

유 Who was your first muse?

Jesus fucking Christ, I don’t even… I mean, probably my sort of like water elemental ish OC Kayla? xD And you can totally see all the tropes I like to use nowadays with my characters back then. She was like this angry, loudmouthed, ridiculous bitch of a character, though she lacked the depth that would make her a good OC nowadays.

I was like 9 or 10 at the time, snorts. Had this little RP group, one of my buddies played the lead guy from Chrono Trigger, like four other people. Back when AIM chats were a cool thing. God, I’m so old, its awesome

♋ What drew you to this muse?

Her strength. A lot of things can be different about my muses but I’ve never had any real desire or interest in playing someone who wasn’t strong. Her motivations, especially, drew me to her; I was fresh from FF12, FFX-2, and FFX, and let me tell ya, I fuckin’ hated the romantic subplots (especially in the later two) with a passion. It was just tiring. Then here she comes, trying to do nothing except save her sister and keep shit together - like a real human being.

☮ Is there anything you don’t like about playing this muse?

How difficult it is to find certain expressions. I don’t like using fanart for icons very much, but whenever I have her doing something you don’t see much of in canon - smiling, blushing, whatever - I gotta turn to fan art. Woman’s got the face of a stone statue. An angry one like those samurai in people’s tombs in Japan.

✌ What is the easiest aspect of playing this muse?

The irritation. As a kid, I was like…pretty angry, and let me tell ya, it took a whole lot of weed to get from that angry kid to the chilltastic, super awesome person I am today. That isn’t ‘cause that part of me is gone, really, I’ve just relentlessly pushed myself to stop giving a shit about things that don’t matter. The instinct is still there though. 

Also I really liked hitting people…so that’s easy as well snorts.

☏ What is the most challenging aspect of playing this muse?

When I have to make her be mean to nice characters. It hurts! People are just trying to be nice to her and she just wants to be left alone and sometimes she’s in a bad mood and then I hurt the sweet babies and I feel like a butt.

But it comes with the package. My muse ain’t cuddly. Hell, on a good day, she’s aloof; on a bad day, murderous.

Was interesting to see her be courteous to people in LR though; for Serah, it seems she’ll give up just about anything, up to and including the fact she’s basically a huge buttface.

☢ How many active muses do you have?

Active, two; Ryuuko (who’s gonna be changing urls back to the old one soon), and ‘course this one. I also have the Sazh man, but my relentless laziness when it comes to the subject of making icons has him laying low. I need to really pick it the fuck up with him but I’m so busy grr

☠ Who is a muse you would want to play?

I sort of wanted like an AU Dark!Elsa but then I thought about it and nah. I dunno. I like Michonne from The Walking Dead, I like Satsuki from KLK (and could probably do a decent job of it if I didn’t turn her into asian Lightning), and I definitely have considered Asami from LOK in a hardcore way (I’m a fucking engineer for fucks sake, how could I not) but none of them have drawn me the way Ryuuko and Lightning did?

Eh, maybe one day.

☤ What do you have in common with your muse?

As I’ve said before, that inclination to irritation and the loner aspect of her personality. I’m pretty balanced between my extroversion and introversion - I like going out with friends and drinking and partying and all that shit, but I definitely feel the need to back away, regroup, be myself, and recharge once all’s over and done with.

Only difference is, I can pretend I’m a people person even if its a bunch of people I don’t know; she can’t xD. 

☑ What are the biggest differences between you and your muse?

She’s much more of a leader than I am. I’m not much for it. I can delegate and stand up for myself and all that crap, I’d just rather not ever bother with it. In a group situation, I’ll contribute readily, but that’s it. Part of a whole, not the head of it.

Oddly enough, not scared of public speaking.

♚ Do you and your muse get along?

Gosh, I don’t know haha. I have a very…irreverent sense of humor (dead baby jokes, rape jokes, race jokes, name something offensive, i have a joke about it), and I don’t really like censoring myself (as you can imagine, Tumblr is occasionally an uncomfortable place for me), so I think all that stuff would more likely than not get me punched by her.

I dunno, once the Pavlovian response to stress was set, we’d probably get along better ‘cause I’d be too scared to talk to her.

Dat ass doe

▲ Of the two of you, who is more mature, you or your muse?

Both, in different ways.

She’s more mature when it comes to life experiences and accomplishments and things like that. She’s been raising a kid on her own since, what, early-mid teens? I’ve been doing fuck all except studying. She’s got a house, I have a fucking bicycle, y’know? 

Emotionally, though, I take the cake and easy. I’m super chill, really difficult to faze, slow to anger, friendly, and I like seeing people smile. I don’t have a huge circle of friends because as an INTP we don’t really do that, but the ones I do have are close, and I have lots of acquaintances.

♪ Are you comfortable playing your muse?

Not as comfortable as Ryuuko, who is basically me if I was Japanese and a lot more fucked up than I am. I’m very warm and open and I like to joke around and make people smile and she’s very…not that. Sometimes I feel like I overcompensate for the difference, but it seems to level out somewhat.

I still don’t feel comfortable with her dialogue though. As opposed to Ryuuko, whose dialogue I live and fuckin’ breathe.

✈ Is it easier to write angst, fluff, or crack with your muse?

Light’s super angst girl, like. Honestly I think we’ve sort of tried to do fluff but we’re such ridiculous people that we’ve never managed it. I guess I could do fluff with her if there was a Serah around, or something really cute happened with her and Fang, but she’s just a depressed gay baby.

Crack though, omg, that’s just easy for me to write period. I’m stupid and ridiculous.

⌚ Is it easier for you to write as canon characters or OCs?
