    i assume that in trollish, 'ladies first' means less 'i'm graciously making space for something pretty and delicate' and more 'i have not failed to notice that you're the scariest motherfucker in the room'.

    i'm wondering if bel's choice of quadrants looks weirdly inverse from the outside? like,

    his flush crush, galley: dangerous, treasonous, sulky, foul-mouthed, anti-social, belligerently lewd. has a chip on his shoulder the size of troll olympus.
    his nemesis, erskin: cheerful, hard-working, optimistic, playful and funny. happily fills every possible space with flowers and candy.

    bel, you are one goofy dude.

    maybe after bel's purged everything erskin could haul him off for a wash and some warm broth and text pancho updates as she works on the other guys. and bel could be kind of like ????? at everything in between INTENSE NAPS. and this would lead into the 'adorably confuze' stage, which erskin would definitely want to text.

    to everyone.

    ah, that's perf. pancho would appreciate an assistant, but i think she would also appreciate if that assistant weren't the captain. and she would like that erskin is personally watching over bel.

    haha, it probably does look like opposite day in bel's quadrants. but the way he sees it, it's more like

    galley: lonely, traumatized, disillusioned, and yet stubbornly kind, and stubbornly an individual despite circumstances' best efforts to depersonalize him. also, legs til next week, plus eyelash champion of known space.

    erskin: willfully naive, smarter than he looks and yet thinks he can get away with being everyone's pal on a ship the size of the sunslammer and it cannot possibly work and yet it does and now he's got bel doing it too and ARGH, and also pranks and trash talk.

    i think it's going to be fun as hell to play through a war campaign with erskin in the regular 'verse. bel settling back in his chair and watching with delight as erskin proceeds to insult absolutely everyone in the room in three sentences tops, mistake war-room map tokens for candy and eat one, spin around in his swivel chair and go 'whee!' while something very important is being discussed, take someone's tablet away to curiously click on a pop-up ad for nook-enhancers, get distracted trying to catch a hoppy bug and scatter papers everywhere, then insult absolutely everyone in an entirely new way on his way out.

    and, worst of all, not let on even to bel that he was doing any of that on purpose.

    Urf yeah i'm nodding off too. Suggestion for mental wonks:

    -probably beat to shit from several days' constant prowling and brawling
    -super fucking tired
    -aggression level has started dropping but he probably needs sleep for his body to actually start repair
    -ditto paranoia and delusion levels.

    -he might accept that this is the real erskin, even if nothing else makes any sense, or he might have just totally blanked on anything that's going on and be one big achey confusion ball being pleasantly groomed by someone nice.

    btw i don't know how fun/difficult it was for you, but i thought the way you structured bel's scrambled-up crazythoughts was really cool. feel free to continue that as long as you like! bel coming back poetry-first could actually be awesome to play with. and nice for him too, like, to be reacquainted with that sweeter side of himself. and just exist there for awhile.

    i had a good morning, and a good afternoon so far! i can chew food! i had a peanut butter sandwich and an apple for breakfast! and i went outside and finally built the firepit i've been meaning to build, and lit a fire in it briefly because 1) that makes it really a firepit and b) fire smells SO GOOD in october.

    now i am settling into rp headspace. am pondering whether to give bel amnesia or not. on the one hand, i'm not sure why he'd have it now when he didn't have it just before pancho syringed his butt. on the other hand, i am awfully tired of writing his paranoia and delusions and would love to have him be a confuse muffin for a bit. what do?

    sheer trauma from the onslaught of the antiparasiticals? i mean, coming out from anesthetic you're pretty dumb, could be similar. Bel's brain is finally getting a break from being on 25/7 panic+paranoia mode, it makes sense to me that it'd kinda just ... turn into pudding. and then maybe he would start remembering things - either remembering the delusions or not, you could probably make either work?


    depending on how out-of-it you want him to be, this could also be an opportunity for some long-suppressed stuff like stimming to re-emerge... (I've been reading back in here)

    Yeah it could all just be the result of MASSIVE TRAUMATIC OVERLOAD catching up with him. He's been wrenched abruptly out of the too-bright world of war and pain and constant overwhelming threat, and now there is this soft new world that smells nice and feels nice and has nice trolls being nice to him. maybe objectively he could connect 'this is the same guy now as the scary guy before as my kismesis before THAT' but in terms of subjective and emotional perception they're in three separate categories.

    also if he did stim erskin wouldn't bat an eye at it, since he himself is a big ball of fidgets 24/7, plus he's used to galley, who likes rocking and and tapping his cords together and turning his domo-kun plushie around in his hands. he'd be pleased to see bel do pretty much anything that wasn't harmful.

    where's loggan? i like the idea of loggan showing up and flopping on bel at some point. it's been just as long since SHE'S seen bel as pancho, so i'd imagine she'd be happy.
