Chel = Miles app
Katsu = player of Victor/Hob who does most militia stuff
WAIT I HAVEN'T BEEN ACCEPTED
don't pester them with this stuff yet LOL
Katsu made a plurk about you this morning bro
"and then I realize that I think we're going to get Miles Vorkosigan (screeeeam) and as a joke I named one of the militia NPCs Sergeant Bothari."
and secondly, oh my god, what
Sergeant Bothari I think Miles will form all sorts of wild theories about cross-dimensional similarities and then avoid the man assiduously
because his name is Konstantin Bothari and he's the ugliest man in Proles xD
I DIDN'T THINK WE'D EVER GET ANYONE FROM THE BOOKS
(and I've been trying to talk my friend into apping Gregor...)
I CAN'T BLAME YOU FOR THINKING YOU'D NEVER GET ANYONE FROM THEM
omg yes Gregor, I have some friends that are probably going to bring Ivan and Taura sometime
a little Vor cast
I've always kind of wanted to app sometime but man it's just too intimidating for me. xD
I totally understand the intimidation, lol /says she who plays Miles
I was too intimidated to for years, and then at one point in the past year I was like, fuck it, what do I have to lose
I'm so tickled you're a fan of the books because I was a bit nervous about how to integrate Miles with the military stuff LOL but you'll know exactly what I'm doing
and that I don't mind if things blow up horribly in his face (it's just IC)
I apologize in advance for anything Hob does.
how'd belle describe her... "old, dried up, and full of hate."
so it's Miles's favorite thing ever
he'll probably do nothing he's told, ever. business as usual.
she's also like Texan? but evil Texan.
and just coincidentally solve a bunch of problems for her.
oh god I wish the log with Maine was unlocked so you could read it
she literally beat him with the chain of command
if I get in, I'll read it!
LMAO NOT EVEN THAT WOULD GET THROUGH TO MILES
too bad he doesn't have a letter of reference from Illyan to give her
I can just imagine what it'd say
"don't even try, just give him things to do."
someone might finally get him a literal muzzle like everyone's been threatening to do
he would be so incensed. THE DISRESPECT!! blah blah. since I'm taking him from just after Memory
the scary thing is he can hypothetically make agreements for all of Barrayar now
aaaa I'm going to be throwing all of my characters at you I'm sorry xD
Shhhhh the app is still processing
yesss! I loved the canon point you picked
NO SORRY I love it. and idk what Loki's AU is, but I used to play Bruce Banner for a loooong time so I love Marvel characters too
TheSouthernBelle: Chel is v dedicated and will continuously come back if revisions or decline, so she's a p safe bet. c;
(but I want print out that app and put it under my pillow and weep over it cause it's so beautiful)
yes I'm sorry if I'm getting ahead of myself XD; I get excited when people recognize since it's such an obscure thing
Meh like we can turn down an app that awesome
LMAO BOTH OF YOU SIMULTANEOUSLY SHUT UP you are way too kind to me
there was actually an MCU canon Loki when I apped in which is why I ended up with an au.
I thought it would be onerous to write Miles's app because there's so much to cover, but when I went to write his personality section, like ten years of loving these books spilled out
but seriously thank you, you guys overwhelm me <3
I am canonblind and love it so. Bravo!
but he's basically... non- evil? he's Thor's body guard. so he's still an awful fucking person but only wants to take over the world for his bro.
the personality section made me cry it was so perfect.
thank you! I love canonblind feedback to make sure I'm getting him across right
Miles heartily endorses AU Loki in that case
sometimes awful people are liegemen, it happens bro
(says the person who once wrote a 15 page personality section for Loki urgh I have problem.)
I still feel like I missed things but it got so long I made myself stop LOL
Miles will probably get this begrudging, sour admiration for Loki as the only person he's ever met better than him at manipulating
Loki's gotten brainfucked so can't currently go outside anyway; he's just trolling people on the network with a persona that talks like Clint Barton.
I guess if Miles didn't have any morals... okay, that's a terrifying thought, let's not go down that road lol
HAHA my inner Bruce is very deadpan unimpressed but I think he sounds great
ROFL I played Loki with Gregor in Luceti. Gregor started telling him, "behave"
yes miles with no morals and an extra foot and a half of height. terrifying.
adskjguha I think I have to track down those threads. Loki and Gregor, I need it. actually, my possible Taura apper plays comics JiM Loki
so she'd be tickled with that too
Miles with no morals, twice as much height, and dubious plot device magic powers. definitely terrifying!
and shall have to hit him with Wrath too so yeah. you will never escape me sorry not sorry. xD
no apologies at all, if I didn't fling Miles everywhere and at everyone, it wouldn't be IC!
I have this tentative expectation that he'll try to work with the militia, probably get fed up with things going OMG TOO SLOW AND NO ONE DOES WHAT HE SAYS, and then break off and form his own
mercenaries again BECAUSE THAT WORKED OUT LAST TIME KIND OF MOSTLY YEAH IT DID
but it's Miles so he'll probably not do anything I plan on him doing
hwe hwe hwe there are Plans for the militia anyway
oh! well you know Miles, so if you think he could further the Plans in any way, in this hypothetical case that I am accepted I would be happy to be your plot device
like I never know who is going get along with Hob either so it's a thing.
honestly I think give miles 30 minutes on base and he'll figure out what's going on.
(and also wondering how long it'll take compliance to want to get their hands on him...)
I'm assuming compliance is the thing that prevents sedition? if they have prescience, about three seconds lol
hopefully I can live up to his ability to put things together, but he does get things spectacularly wrong sometimes so I'm not too fussed if I can't XD
I'm willing to give you an ooc boost on militia snooping since that is where he's a Viking
compliance just wants you to be happy and productive.
that would be fantastic of you! I'd like to see what I can do on my own first and if I run up against a wall, I'll let you know. I like the challenge
(today on reasons why I play Miles...)
compliance is the reason Loki is now extremely agoraphobic and unable to function in crowds. it was mean.
They can use people like him
wow, it sure sounds like Miles would be there forever and then get brain damaged lol
division of shit hob doesn't want to know about
Division of Death. Spook squad. Spies, lies tuxes and ties.
and a quick knife in the dark.
I'm sorry I'm just trying to imagine Juliet handling miles and my brain just did a bsod.
Sometimes not so quick. >_>
that's exactly what he did at home for over a decade before he got himself discharged out of dumb haha
She could try. I dunno how well it would go.
he just doesn't do the dirty parts himself because Miles has this thing about morals and honor lol
but he did the spying part a lot
Juliet you can't hear Simon screaming from barrayar but he's saying DON'T DO IT
HAHAHAH a;sdlkjgpuha true facts
at least if we had Gregor there'd be a leash around Miles willingly obeys.
just go ask Hob about the chain of command, Miles. it'll be fine.
No, no, don't beat this one. J had her own way of handling things
he probably will, as in, how can I move up it and how fast?
... you know I was going to say
but I seriously want to see Hob and Miles have this talk in character.
because it will be very, very interesting.
I'm sure we can't predict it with any reasonable accuracy LOL I look forward to it too
