Speaking of Zephie (or however it's spelled), I gave him an idiot ball and had him mouth off to a reality warper. There was no payoff for this. Why are you afraid he'll kill her? She can just wish his arms off, or zap him all the way out into the forest, or freeze him in place or something. This isn't the arena, and we aren't fighting; you don't have to worry about me getting pissy over an "autohit".
He's unstable because I keep trying to provoke reactions from the characters. Clearly it's not working.
Shit, he's a fucking bird right now. No one's going to take advantage of this? I think Trip did once, for maybe thirty seconds...

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistAnd I feel like I can't do gags anymore without you guys getting mad at me for doing too many gags again. So I let you guys do that stuff like you wanted me to, and then nothing really happened.
When was this? I think I missed seeing it altogether.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistWhy can't you play Thanos anymore? He hasn't mindraped Cloud repeatedly or killed his family, so Cloud doesn't have any reason to go after his head.
I honestly think that might have been due to Mass Effect, because I barely remember that... sorry about that.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistOh, that conversation.
Well, it's not like he's going to agree with everything everyone says. I fail to see how having a conversation where the other party doesn't agree with your character is grounds for giving up on interaction. For what it's worth, I enjoyed it.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistWhat I mean is I used to be able to do stuff like bring in Jenny and mindrape Cloud into attacking people. And laugh at his reaction. And everything would go back to normal pretty soon. It was episodic.
Now I can't do stuff like...turn Fen into a .rar file, without giving Cloud another mental illness, and nearly writing myself into a corner.
PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850I've thought up a pretty clever way to mess around with the room with an OC of mine, but I'm a little worried it will go wrong for a few of the above reasons.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?@Jam: I think you're overthinking things a bit.
@Random: I say that so people will actually talk to him about shit. And something did happen, from my perspective — I got an interesting conversation that would have led to more development had you not quit. I can't force you to interact with my character that won't agree with everything that calls him out, so that's your prerogative.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistI always enjoy people getting screwed over.
Hell, that's why put so much effort into my characters - so that they can have things happen to them, dramatic or funny, and have it mean something.
I do feel there is plenty of potential for comedy and drama in my characters and I welcome pretty much anything short of death to them.
Hell, if the death is well played out and logical from a storytelling perspective, I'll go along with it.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Rando also kinda has a point. Cloud's problems never really get solved and he just goes more batshit every time something happens. Which prompts him to try to hide it more by being a brick wall, which prompts people to not want to interact with him. Because no one seems to have any kind of tangible effect on him. Its like one of those adventure games where you keep clicking on something and it does nothing despite being told its supposed to do something.
And I'm not over thinking things. I can't do anything lighthearted with Cloud because it instantly turns into drama theater. It wasn't like this before. If I tried the stuff I did in the past it would end with galatic death cancer or soemthing.

I myself don't try to avoid Cloud, I just don't want to trigger him.
He really has become unstable.
