We Are Our Avatars (Discussion)

Nah, I don't plan on her calling people characters. She might call them writers, though. Whether it's in a metaphorical "writers of their own life story" sense or literally... I'm not too sure.

ok, I'm officially made of fail because I can barely remember what's gone on in the fourth Ozbourne arc so far and am pretty much completely at a loss here. I'm so sorry, but I need a reminder from Lem as to what I'm supposed to do to make Gina not be a stupid stupid stupidhead here.

If you don't want to make any more plots for someone who can't remember them, you don't have to. I promise I'm not being unappreciative by forgetting, it's just there's so much to keep in mind with all my characters not to mention offline stuff and I don't actually have the details saved everywhere and I am fail because everyone else can remember my plot stuff and I can't.

Which is why I'm here to help remember the most unimportant shit imaginable to help you with Asagi Asagiri, Oz.

But seriously, no one blames you. It has been a really long time...

And that's nice but it still makes Gina look stupid. She has no reason to forget IC.

@Oz: ...Yeah. For me, it's basically like wandering around in a dark house without a flash-light. Shards of glass are over the floor and basically, even if you manage to avoid getting a foot full of glass, you'll find a stone-fish in your bed which swiftly injects thousands of deadly toxins into your foot and...

...Wait. Where was I going with this? Right. I'm just as lost. Help me out please, Rai.

It's been several months since Ba'al last contacted her. A person doesn't look stupid if they can't remember a conversation that they had several months ago, do they?

...Do they? I genuinely don't know...

Dragon Lord demon has declared war on Ba'al and his retinue. He wants to kill off the gods to make himself in charge. Gina could be a target.

Is that what you meant?

If someone else remembers it, they might feel a bit more absent-minded than they usually do.

Ugh, sorry to be making a fuss of something so... stupid, I just... feeling stupid is, well, I dislike it strongly.

@Rai: Well, that helps. Thanks. ^_^

...I feel pretty dense myself. This one of the reasons why I'm not good with joining in arcs....

Ah, no, sorry. I know I'm making it a bit difficult here, but at the moment there actually is not any known way for her to contact them. It's a big mistake on the Guardians' part, as they erroneously thought she already had a way to contact them. But if you have her try to use the jewel in some way, it'll work, I promise.

Maybe Gina is finally entering the early stages of dementia at the ripe old age of 700.

But seriously, I don't think she seems dumb here, for what it's worth.

Considering I remembered Asagi was once in a sorta-relationship with Minato despite it being ages ago, and how Wren chose an avatar that I somehow remembered that Lem used as another character and pointed that out, it's not you being stupid in any form at all, it's me that remembers far too much shit for his own good...

That's the thing; I know I'm not unintelligent. Neither is Gina.

I guess I could use the excuse that we've both had other things on our minds, but that also comes off as... I don't know, bad prioritizing or something, if someone's so distracted that someone else remembers details about them that they can't recall.

I'm so sorry. I know this is supposed to be fun. Really, I know that.

Lem: It's not just the inability to contact them; that I can write off as "well, Gina's never tried so she's got to think about it and experiment to figure out how". It's that I couldn't even remember Ba'al's warning from last time.

...Methinks we all need a break from here. Maybe....

@Rai: Ironically, I WANT one of Lem's avatars because if reminds me of a grown-up George. Sadly, he's used it already so I'll have to find an alternative if I ever use a 'Age-Up' ray.

I guess I might as well take the time to note that Asagi has had training as an NPC, meaning that one of her skills/points of interest is taking down notes and knowledge about things in case other people forget it so that she can recite it to remind them. So, she might be able to remind you of what lunch you had almost a year ago if it somehow becomes relevant to the situation. So...

...And this hasn't helped one bit, so I'm just gonna shut up now...

Yeah ok, a break is not going to help me here. A break only helps if someone else is being stupid and I want to get away from them.

I think you need to realise this isn't as big of a deal as it is, Ozzy, and that if she just basically goes "Wait, I think I can use that crystal to contact them" after thinking for a bit and goes and uses it, problem solved.

@Oz: ...I guess so.

Sigh. I'm not really being of much help myself. I mean, I'm trying but there's very little I can do when it comes to stuff like this. Let's just move on.

@Ozbourne: Oh, I see! That's kind of ironic, seeing as the reason why I waited for this long was so that it would come as something as a surprise...but you're right, Gina should know this.

What happened last time was that Leviathan, the Guardian of Water, came and told Gina that the Eldar Dragon God was attacking the Ashborn Hell with his strange minions. Gina was told to keep secret and safe, and wait for further instructions. That's pretty much it. The idea was for tonight that one of the Dragon Gods' underlings would find Gina and realize what she was.

...So, in other words, I messed something of yours up again, Lem? Oh me, how often that happens...

Mimi: No, that I was able to kind of work out, granted it's less "hey I can contact him with this" and more "maybe if I focus on this I can figure it out" but it works well enough. Like I said, it was me (and thus Gina) forgetting the thing about the dark dragon that is making me feel either stupid or like I don't care enough about the plot to remember details from it.

...ok so at least Gina wasn't stupid enough to say what her abilities were, that's something right? Right?

edited 19th Apr '11 5:54:53 PM by Ozbourne

Yeah, if she'd said that (or worse, said outright that she was the Guardian), she'd be in real trouble right away.

I don't think you forgetting something makes you stupid. At all. I do think you are making this out to be way worse than it actually is. You realise that forgetting something does not equal stupidity, right?

If she'd had said anything, it would probably have been something about being a healer and preferring to support her allies using those abilities or something like that.

And rationally I know that, yes. I don't know, feeling stupid is a bit of a weird issue with me sometimes though.

Got nothing tonight, off.

Yeah...reminds me of Vriska, when you get this insecure about yourself, Oz...
