The work that goes into my characters is half actual work and half me just poking and poking and poking and poking because I have this insane need to know everything and have it all nailed down because it makes me feel much more comfortable to be writing a character if I can call upon these small details, regardless of whether or not they will be directly address. Basically I'm insane is what I'm telling you here. Anyway, DUE TO THAT POKING I am more or less attempting to create interactive plot all the time and I am pleased that it pleases you to be subjected to my rampant enthusiasm.
Re: Petrana: I am very much looking forward to her meeting the Brucolac because I would like that, but oh my God I really enjoy our sort of loose plans for the Countess and the Professor. I like having a general sort of arc in mind, but how much room we have to maneuver within that is very useful and I am very much looking forward to seeing where that goes and how it goes. One of my favourite things about playing Petrana in Taxon is that she has never been permitted to be a person in her own right; her identity and how she's been perceived has almost invariably been tied to someone else, typically a man. In Taxon, though, she's alone and she's obliged to take all of this potential that's never had an outlet and forge her own identity and her own place and her own reputation (this part is more important than you might think) and that is essentially why I wanted to play her here, so that she could have that. And I think that our PLOTS will enable that further, whichever way they go.
On the subject of mademoiselle la comtesse de horreurs - I am still going back and forth on whether or not I will keep her here or drop her and just play her in the nexus, but it is looking more and more like she's going to remain at Taxon. I might have to reintroduce her or something insane, but yes - I haven't done much with her yet so I'm glad you approve of what little I have done! She's a challenge to write - her massive egotism, her prejudices, her power, her speech patterns - and I like writing something that forces me to work a little harder, so it's especially good to know that when I do put in that effort, I'm getting somewhere. I think Carmilla on the moon ship would be approximately the most amazing thing ever, though, and so petition you to somehow make this happen.
...HAHAHHA OH GOD. POSSIBLY??? Ethan will either immediately take a shine to him or decide he doesn't want to risk his arse.
i would never hide from you, my sweet, only HEIGHTEN YOUR ANTICIPATION FOR MY COMPANY
