Well, I asked because it has to do with more of Lilith's weirdness. While it's not like she could resolve the plot on her own or anything (she could come damn close if she was anywhere near competent though), I didn't want it to feel like I was trying to engage in a dickwaving contest or shove my character center stage or anything.

[up] Personally, I think Lilith's weirdness, in itself, is the most adorable thing I've seen and don't feel like it's a contest.

Yeah, but this isn't the childlike wonder weirdness. This is the "changing people's hair color" and "appearing where she shouldn't be without anyone noticing" kind of weirdness.

May I ask how you plan for Lilith to get the door open? And if she does, the PDA will have been for nothing.

[up][up][up] Childlike-wonder-type weirdness or not, one has to admit, all characters have some form of weirdness as a trait, it's just a matter of doing correctly, so it isn't ridiculous. As far as I know, Lilith's weirdness, childlike or not, you're doing very well.

I've been trying to be subtle about it, mostly for story reasons and partly because for her, the way she is seems natural, so she doesn't really feel the need to show off.

But in this case, the door is an obstacle blocking Lilith from what she wants to get at. What does a child do with things they don't like? A child in a sufficient position of power over the object of their ire will have no qualms with destroying it. While this is perfectly in-character for her and helps establish a little more mystique about her character, it doesn't mesh well with the door and what it represents in my opinion.

Hence why I asked what you thought.

Alright, it certainly fits her. Still, this is a foot-thick blast door.

[up] Lilith rejects your reality and substitutes her own.

Still, I'm thinking it'd be best to refrain.

-Puts hand to chin-

Well, my opinion might be insufficient, but I if it's in-character, let it be in-character, off course, if she can't destroy the door in question, the PDA might be useful as she looks sad (And with the way she acts, which is absolutely adorable, I don't think there would be any character that wouldn't try and comfort her)

Well, how's this? She tries, and succeeds, but not all the way. While she punches a hole in the door like its tissue paper, it's not big enough for her to fit and she promptly breaks out the puppy eyes. Of course, the hole will be in a place that won't affect structural integrity, so the PDA can then open it.

[up][up] She makes a hole, but can't fit through it. That way, it's in character and the PDA can still be used.

That seems really awkward, and unnecessary.

Whoops, I accidentally submitted that before we came to a consensus. Eheheheheh... *rubs head awkwardly*

Well, if you do think there is a problem with it, I'll take it down.

I like it. I like it mucho. Except the cubicles. Something seems off about cubicles in a place like this. But whatever.

Should I just leave cantina? I am under the impression that July is not very interesting.

[up]July doesn't really work with the present crowd: if Kokabiel were still here, he'd gravitate right to July like a moth to a flame. But the present crowd isn't very patient or academically inclined, so he's kind of stuck. That said, it seriously wouldn't hurt to make him a bit less awkward. I get the impression he's got a good reason, but I think improving his social skills, while possibly unrealistic, would help him come off as more believable.

It possibly wasn't the best idea to bring him in right after escaping the Hell Building and wandering the desert.

I'm not sure why, but Steven is completely failing to develop a voice (distinct from my normal writing style, anyway). I don't want to switch him out, but I've got to find some way to get at his personality, and fast.
