Okay, Clover's close enough to 1000 comments, I'd say it's question meme time! Ask me stuff. Questions about Roxas, Odile or past characters also work.
Flattened by powercap. Emotionally? Flaily as hell but determined to make everything work, dammit! I don't know if you've seen this thread with him and Ven, but that sums up a lot of his flailing.
In other parts of his life, he's extremely determined to a) free those taken by the Darkness, no matter what, and b) to look out for knights, whenever possible. And his current power set is reinforcing him going into protector mode (shields, limited healing, etc) which he's super happy with.
I saw most of it before I descended into bossfightland, yeah. Awww. (Josh would probably gently point out that he and Ven don't have a direct line to each other's hearts, so they kind of have to talk more.)
He's not as powercapped because he was consciously saving strength for emergencies, but still worn out and with about a third of his brain working on strategies for next time. Emotionally he's kind of worried and insecure, but determined to make things work out, and still pretty confident that he did the right thing. (Time will help soothe that, but right now in the current timeline he did just agree to let his boyfriend date another boy, so he's still in the "will this actually work out the way we think it will, are we sure this won't end badly for me" phase of things; it's a new thing and he's nervous about it.) Long-term, he's basically pretty happy with where things are going, confident that Aather is progressing against its enemies and happy that his skillset is useful and valuable in the situation they're in.
Well, she's about to take some bad memories on various Amethysts, so we'll see how that goes. ;; I'm so amused that she managed to get one of her worst sig negs as her second regained memory.
How much is the Rat King judging us all right now? (Is this even a real question...)
Still weird for him on all counts. On the other hand, it's not as though he'd actually been playing in games (outside of Kitsune's) at all recently, so that's not that different. And having plot events like raids helps keep him busy. It's gonna take weeks for his room to start looking like a room as opposed to a bed and a pile of stuff, though.
What was it like for Josh, when he first legacied?
Lagacying was great for Josh. He and Ven and Mau all legacied at the same time, so they all kind of celebrated together. The fact that he got a ton of skills back was pretty awesome -- he'd been feeling the lack of them -- and having a room to himself was a pretty large bonus for reasons. So he loved it and kept on loving it, basically.
Uh, let's see. Mixed bag full of impressions. He really likes some of them (Phoenix, Alma), likes some but doesn't know how to deal with them (Thorfinn) and has one thread with Chieri in which she made it pretty clear she doesn't want anything to do with him. I assume he has some sort of relationship with Midorima offscreen but the player literally plays only when I am asleep so they still haven't had more than, like, two threads.
In general he's not as connected to his team as a thing as he used to be, but he's also kind of fine with that? The vast majority of his social ties are offteam, and he doesn't play games anymore, and he's always thought team identity was a little dumb (and TE's is in serious flux right now). If Tiger's Eye is like his family, he's reached the phase of his life where he's growing up and leaving the nest. It doesn't mean he cares about them any less, he's just getting more independent and less invested in his team as a concept.
Roxas's ability to easily bond with new Emeralds took a blow when Glass was Booked, but he's still making a real effort. Daiquiri's making the most progress, just by virtue of being outgoing and a little trolly, but he's also fond of Cascade and thinks the new guy (Merlot/Tokiomi) is gonna do just fine, even though he doesn't know him at all well yet.
Did anything particular happen with Josh and Chieri, or is this just her need to prove herself/"I work alone"?
Honestly, I have no idea. XD Their thread was very short and I think she was mad he didn't show up to greet her or something? Or unhappy that people weren't happy to see her since they'd lost a teammate. But I'm just going off the cues I got in the thread, so I could be totally wrong. I also don't know her canon, so.
The impression he got was that she wasn't interested in getting to know him or in accepting anything he was offering, so he's basically just going to wait until one or both of those things changes. He's got too much of a long view by now to really...hmmm. Feel the urgent need to push? It'll work out, he figures, and if not he's well-enough established outside the team that it doesn't really hurt him much if one kind-of-sibling doesn't like him. But he's going to let her make the next move.
...I'm having trouble thinking of a question. Free space!
