How's My Driving: Player (And Game) Edition!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to those who celebrate! Remember: don't drink and how's my drive.
This is a combined player and game HMD, which means your mods are going to be begging for feedback. We're feeling a little disconnect and want to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves as much as possible. Specifically we're looking for feedback on the Haunted Holo plot, and what we can do in the future to make such large-scale plots more accessible.
It's also an HMD for our characters! Please comment here with the names of the characters you play and others will reply with their feedback- and it's obviously a given that this feedback will be helpful, constructive and respectful. Also, as amazing as getting ILU comments is, it's nice to hear why and what we're doing right just as much as criticism needs to be constructive. Participation is also entirely optional, and if you have any issues just let a mod know and we'll help out as much as we can.

a.) I think you're one of the best writers here. I've read more of Cain's stuff than anything yet, but the narratives of all three are totally different and equally interesting to read.
b.) I can't speak for anyone else, but I think looking forward to a tag is a very very good sign, and I can say that I love seeing each and every Mick tag you give me. Maybe Gwen's just really easy to write when she's around him for some reason, and that reason prooobbably has something to do with you, rather than me.
And yes, I need to make Illyria and Bagoas happen.

b) I've been trying to put into words some kind of feedback for you in the past few days, but you put it so much better than I could've come up with. I look forward to your tags, be they from Gwen or Illyria. You make Mick easier to write (and he can be a handful sometimes, despite being the most outgoing pup I have (aside from a long neglected post-series A:tS Lorne >_>)). I love Illyria's philosophical asshattery with Cain (and I do mean that in the best of ways - I always loved how she questioned EVERY LITTLE THING in canon. Bah silly humans and their insignificant ways), and I'm looking forward to seeing how she responds to Bagoas - who knows all about proper respect and giving the prostration in accordance to her social status.
On the less gushing end, I have to echo what Keri said about Illyria's posts being a bit difficult to tag. It's not something that can't be worked around, and it's nothing major. I actually have a suggestion. It is only a suggestion, and it's up to you to decide what to make of it.
Illyria could start to seek out a few of the lowly humans for the purpose of figuring them out. Call it a social experiment. You have all these different characters from different worlds, with different backgrounds and different kneejerk reactions. She could poke at them, see what kinds of responses she gets.
Purely for scientific purposes, of course. What makes that so special as to share space with one of the most ancient, horrific powers of all the dimensions?

I went through a similar phase with Cain during his first, oh, six or so months here. He was PTSD-riddled (and that sounds somehow wrong, like I'm belittling the condition, but I can't find a better word for it), and anxious and a raging insomniac who also couldn't really face (or trust) any kind of foodstuff Taxon had to offer. Add to that his reclusive streak, and you had a recipe for reluctant CR. I knew from the get go it would be a long term thing, getting him to a point where he could move forward. It's still ongoing, but he's slowly getting better and starting to seek people out, outside his very close-knit circle of trust. To borrow a phrase I used for Kat and her Party: Cain's damaged goods. He'll probably always be damaged goods, but he's not broken anymore. It's been over a year now, but it's been one helluva ride.
My point being, I've been there. Let it take however long it needs to, because first and foremost you have to rp Illyria in a way that feels IC to you. Once you get to the stage where I am with Cain today, however different Illyria's arc is, it'll all have been worth it.
