first impressions??

The thing about first impressions with Spring regarding Peridot right now is that she... kind of closed herself off from Peridot towards the end before she was booked. She didn't think her problems mattered to them (but that was because Cal more or less brushed off her dying in her mind by saying "Everyone has awful lives) and was a little uncertain about their inaction during a Darkness attack. So she left just going "I don't really belong on Peridot".

So coming back she was super wary. And Hazel is actually really bad at being separated from people she cares about. We see in canon that she gets separated from her boyfriend and thinks he might be dead/not see him again and she nearly rage quits until Leo stops her. But that's also because everyone she's ever loved... she's lost. And so coming back to for of the teammates she new being gone and then some more personal issues she's a little more on edge.

A point in favor though is that, most of her prominent memories is being physically and mentally abused by the people she grew up around (also racism/mother's possession/etc) and so as a person in Aather... This has made Peridot as a whole REALLY important to her. Because they never rejected her or did anything like that and so even if she's really uncertain about new Peridots this brings a point in their favor.

So that's really how her impression started with Rena/Amaranth. She really wants desperately to just be upset that she'd lost people, but she can't. It's not in her to hate people for existing because.... Well, one her own life and she's also been a "replacement" for someone important. She knows how it feels to have someone want another person more than you. But at the same time!!! She really likes meeting new people/friends and so she's trying to be friendly and accepting.

They've only talked a bit now, but she thinks that Amaranth fits Peridot really well. She's cute and encouraging and that's good (Hazel is not a big "cute" thing person because soldier/warrior so she thinks that's GOOD. because cute/fashion etc is important to Peridot). She accepted her rather readily and didn't distance her which was another important factor. Especially when some of the guys did (although Hazel cannot blame them and completely understands).

In her head though she's ironically placing Canna/Clover because once Beatrice legacied her first while in Aather they were the only girls in the team. And somehow it's a fit that works...? Rena definitely isn't Clover! But at the same time they feel really similar to her and so it's easy to try and get along with her. Also it's just... nice to not be the only girl on the team. And so she wants to try and be friends/get along/do stuff together, but first she has to sort out all of the feelings she has right now to properly re-settle in Peridot.

BUT SO FAR. Amaranth has many points in her favor and Hazel likes her!!! She is just a mess of feelings.

R-Reverse?

It's also a little complicated on Rena's side, but in the sense that she is determined to do right by Hazel. She always appreciated when she first arrived that everyone was so welcoming and kind to her despite being sad about a teammate's booking (and said teammate being Hazel herself sort of enhances it), and wants to make sure anyone else who comes in feels just as welcomed. She wants Peridot to stay close and for everyone to feel as comfortable as they can! Since Hazel is clearly hesitant in some respects, and a lot of Peridot is depressed about Cal being gone, right now she's working extra hard to be as friendly as she can and keep the mood just a little bit brighter. She's trying her best to pay attention to Hazel's feelings and do what she can to make settling back in go smoothly.

She likes her so far in her own right, too! She's cute and a nice girl, but Rena can also already tell that she's a very strong person. And she thinks it's nice to have another girl on the team, too. She genuinely looks forward to getting closer to her and hopes they can be good friends.

How is Ron feeling about his age up?

Let us bond over being the only active gameplaying Peridot girls, Rena '^'

...He's really... not? Like on an OOC scale it's good for me because it brings in more availablity for his development, but Ron is kind of like this is dumb. He likes being older and taller for some things. Like he's taller than Selenia! That's cool! One day he will totally lord that over him.

But becoming older also doubled with a little of discomfort because there is a lot of scars now! And this is worrying! Then I changed one of his old memories to an older one and that only brings that worry to the surface. Because now he definitely knows something is wrong and not being able to do anything about it bothers him.

Also his clothes not fitting was annoying and sucked. He spent the night in the bathroom just going "NOPE" at things.

What's Lamda's plans for now?

... LEAVING...

Her main source of investment in Aather was Booked and she has people waiting for her, so she's not planning to stick around much longer! She wants to dote on Snow and make sure he's doing alright with all his romance trouble, maybe talk with Liberty about said romance drama, sit on Shes and make sure he's not being stupid, and just generally roll around on all her cute Kunzites, but she's pretty ready to roll out once she's done all that.

Hopes and dreams for Piper?

Piper was a character I wanted to play most because I wanted to play an adult. I usually play young dead girls or... Ron Weasley like dumb boys. So I have a "type" and while Piper still fits into that type-- protecting the innocent, etc-- she fills it in a different way. And I thought she'd be better at integrating and having fun with opposed to my other options (Riza Hawkeye or Roy Mustang... while fun they're more serious characters).

In a lot of ways my major hope for her is the same that it is for Ron. She's always been part of a trio and her sisters usually had the limelight growing up. It seems like it would be interesting to separate her from that and have her find her own footing outside of the famed power of three.

I actually sadly really look forward to her regaining her memories of her husband and kids. Sadly because she is going to be very upset and active after that and it's just... seemingly a lot of fun to delve into with me? At the same time it's those reasons that I want her to accidentally adopt kids in Aather and take care of them because that's just who she is. :> And a lot of kids could use it, oops.

What are yours for Killua?
