Questions meme

[chainsawmascara]

Oh, why not!

ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider topping you into apping, etc.

WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!

I play: Umeda, Riku Replica, Heat, Sakubo (can ask individually or as a pair), Minato, Soubi, Tsukihiko, Cheryl, Grelle, and Mutsu.

That is actually a really good question.

Hatter is sort of intrigued by Grelle in a couple of ways. It's not all just Hatter's act with everyone--but a lot of it is, because that's how Hatter rolls. Dealing with Grelle's enthusiasm is actually a little... tedious, sometimes. At the same time, Hatter does honestly want to cultivate Grelle's interest for a couple of reasons. Hatter does, in fact, have some curiosity about Grelle's gender. It's not really driving, but it's there, and xe wouldn't mind finding out more about that.

Hatter's also very interested in Grelle's powers, and how well they might be contained, and whether or not Hatter can direct them if a purpose arises. With the right direction, Hatter is pretty sure Grelle could be useful, and that's generally something worth exploring.

The other thing is sort of borderline, and a little harder to explain, and it relates to an answer I gave in my meme that Hatter's interest in Grelle was mostly just for fun.

It's basically that Hatter has an interest in how Grelle can fit into hir normal scripts for sex/headgames. Grelle is sort of fresh, and that makes it appealing to find a place for hir in those, and Hatter is still deciding just what the most appropriate role is. It's like how Hatter, with hir angel lovers forever and ever ago, would let them get all wrapped up in hir and then kill themselves, or get arrested, or discover each other, or... various other things, I imagine. Particularly since Grelle seems inclined to push and be the pursuer, to a degree, Hatter becomes inclined to make hirself... um. If you'll ignore the internet meme, into a trap. In the sense that xe'll make hirself into something dangerous that Grelle will get hurt by taking the bait, to see how xe'll react. And whatever that leads to, well, that's part of the game.

And Hatter's patient enough that xe's not in a rush to make that happen right now. Xe'll wait until xe figures out the right script for the right game, for the best results.

So... how well does this end? XD

I think EVERYONE is tired with dealing with Grelle's enthusiasm and, if they aren't yet, they will be. :')

How well does this end? Well... that depends on how you view "well". Grelle is, in a sense, too overbearing, stupid, and enthusiastic to trap. Grelle's logic, you see, makes everything work out for Grelle even when it obviously doesn't go her way. It's not that she rewrites reality for herself, exactly, but close enough! Grelle might have been crying and begging for her life when Sebastian got the upper hand in the battle between them in the manga, but we know from her interview that once that immediacy was over? What a thrill! How erotic that he stepped all over me like that! It gets me so fired up! We only went half-way, Sebaschan, but next time, let's go ALL the way!

Because, well, Grelle is remarkably difficult to hurt. The closest we ever really come to seeing her have her feelings hurt is ...disappointment, and that doesn't really count as being genuinely hurt. Because Grelle has no interest in being hurt! She's a very simple person, in a lot of ways, and she's actually probably my character with the thickest skin -- insults of any variety just roll of her. Sebaschan goes for the emotional throat with her a lot and although she'll reproach him for it, she just likes him more for that tendency, and that overpowers any hurt that might have caused the reproach.

So Grelle will almost certainly TRIGGER that trap if Hatter can find a good one to set up for her, but whether she'll react hurt -- it's hard to say, because Grelle never lets herself feel hurt for more than the instant it happens.

If you mean the rest of it, Grelle will totally let intriguing people use her powers without hesitation, haha, and is also totally happy to talk about her gender if asked. Or often if unasked too.

Does Hatter have any opinion yet of what kind of trap xe'd like to make hirself for Grelle?

Hatter is thinking jealousy. Grelle in a jealous rage does seem pretty epic, to Hatter's mind. But that requires a third player, and Hatter's still casting that role. It would have to be someone who wouldn't be too easy to kill.

Will has occurred to hir, but at the moment, xe's more focused on getting him to the point he'll kiss back under the mistletoe, so waiting for him to be ready for something like that might take too long.

So let's say Grelle got to see Hatter's life, and finds out that it's like thousands of years, and disproportionately death, sex, war, emotional abuse, scheming and rape. Would it live up to Grelle's hopes? Is it the popcorn movie of the summer?
