X-Project || Character Takeover

[xp_topaz]

Happy April 1st, interwebs. On this glorious day, the fictional characters of XP, written by their non-fictional players, have decided it's time to break the fourth wall Deadpool-style and let the world know exactly what they think of their lives, their current situations, and of course, their writers. Things are about to get brutally honest here. But I'm sure all our characters love us, right?

...Right?

I mean, my girl isn't particularly awful, she's just downright neglectful. How long have I been flapping in the wind? No job, no love interest, no hobbies. All I do is eat, and I'd like to be better than Gluttony from FMA, you know?

At least you can catch a fucking break. Trade any day of the week.

I mean, I think I have life pretty good? I'm kickass at everything I enjoy doing, from eating to saving the world, I get a lot of yummy treats, I have awesome friends, and the writer saves destroying a life for her tiny British character, so I definitely can't complain much.

I kind of want to date again, but she's like, nah I don't want to deal with romantic stuff, kay? And I'm like yeah, but I want a boyfriend. And she's like is there even anyone in the mansion you're romantically interested in? And she's got me there. I think I'd get back together with Clint if the opportunity presented itself, but also that made things really complicated with Gabriel, and we did NOT handle that well at all (we being me and the writer), so... maybe I'll stay single and own fifty cats. Sorry Sooraya.

You really don't want me to do this.

...

Oh, you do? Okay. Well then what the actual bloody fuck? What did I ever do to you? For fuck's sake, do you even know how hard it is to function right now? I don't enjoy being cruel to people for no reason! Just let me have my god damn life back without all the drama. I miss going to magic class! I never thought I'd say that. I liked teaching it! Don't tell Amanda. I liked things NOT being awkward between me and Amanda and me and Kurt. And by the way, what the fuck was up with my birthday? How many bars did I even go to? Something tells me I'm lucky I didn't end up dead in a gutter! Can't you just fix things without waiting for July? I don't think I can do three more months of this.

I don't think I have any right to complain after Witchy Witch, but really, it wouldn't kill the writer to let me have a little more fun. Like, I still really want to go skydiving (out of the Blackbird, but that's optional). Or bungee jumping. But she won't find anyone to go with me and it's no fun to go alone and talk about it on the journals later. So she's kind of lacking there.

I'd also like to maybe do more of the helping thing. You know, head into District X, help the local mutants, get more involved with the Underground, that kind of stuff. But again, Ms. Anxious is like "But I don't want to bother anyone I'm enough of a pest" and I'm relegated to telling on the journals instead of showing anything I actually do.

...Crap, I can already hear the gemstone coming to bitch me out. Later!

Rei's Charries

[xp_olaris]

At least Rei is fair. I mean I have seen her mind, I've seen what she has put the others through. It could be way worse. And she has given me some happiness with Alex.

Tandy

[xp_dagger]

I can see where she wants to take me and it terrifies me. Downright terrifies me.I know it is all in the interest of character development and boredom but jeebus. I am glad she is pushing ahead with some plots, for awhile I thought she was hated me.

Clea

[xp_clea]

I am the favorite. I know I am. She has way to much fun when I am in charge. The other two, they are okay. Most of the stuff she does is because I actually tell her so.

[xp_deadpool]

Cai needs to either shit or get off the pot. It's honesty we're looking for here, right? Right, that's what I thought. The point is, she's had me for seven years and she's barely accomplished anything with me that she wanted to. Gotta work on that, chica. Do something interesting with me or set me free -- cause you love me. I'm lovable. Hell, I'm even mostly sane in XP.

But then I think about it and maybe she's written herself into a corner with me. Gotta do something to get me out of it -- I don't like corners, just like I don't like planes or necrotizing fasciitis or kids dying ever. She's made me -- I'm too stable, aren't I? Fuck, I am. When the hell did that happen? I haven't even killed anybody lately -- what's wrong with her?

Shape up or ship out, sweetpea.

[xp_hawkeye]

It's not her fault her brain's all messed up and her family's crazy. If you ask me, Cai's been doing pretty damn well, all things considered. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to be more involved in the actual creation and running of eXcal, since that's kinda my thing, but whatevs. Frito and Sam have Kyle and Topaz taking things over nicely there a bit... and Ben's got Ev there as a great stabilizing factor with actual experience.

I guess mostly I think she's all right. Would I like to've been more active? Be in actual plots? Hell, have her run half the plots she's thought up and written up for me? Sure. But you gotta be patient with the writers, cause otherwise they get all anxious and fretful and stressed, which makes them even less likely to do any damn thing.

What is the point of this, even? I have never been her main objective, obviously. Not until recently, at least. I believe this is in part due to the old me, oui? And the things that went on outside of the game with other players when she was playing him. He was very damaged, you see? And so I am not so damaged. Adjusting to this difference seems to have been difficult for her.

But now she has given me the photography and world travel, which is very nice. I have friends that I do not sleep with, which is also very nice. Though do not get me wrong, I very much enjoy the sex. It is good. And also, there are plans -- one day, I will apparently, very begrudgingly, join XFI, which will be very fun.

Mostly, I feel very sorry for Cai. She is easily distracted, loses her trains of thought quickly, and often has the attention span of a small fly. Her brain is very full and there are people who are very loud there. So many words, so much noise -- and for what? She winds up writing nothing.

She does cook very well, though. Better now, than before. So at least she is not living on frozen dinners and hospital food always.
