If you have any concerns with how I'm playing Sheena, please let me know! I love her to death and don't want to mess up, so any help is greatly appreciated.

OKAY SO I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS LIKE. TWO WEEKS AGO.

But! As some of you may/may not know, my computer decided to EXPLODE in the most mild sense of the term, and as such is currently in Kentucky getting fixed. I HAVE COMPUTER ACCESS, just lame computer access. Which is why I haven't been on IRC in like five forevers (BECAUSE MIBBIT IS MY ENEMY).

The computer gurus told me it would be 2-3 weeks, but since they are ~mysterious~ about telling me what the status is, I don't know how long it could be! I HAVE ALSO FORGOTTEN WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE MY OWN COMPUTER. So.

tl;dr: Kind-of-hiatus for Dahlia and Sheena until my laptop tapdances home.

BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE I NEED IT.

( Look, look! Look how useless I am! )

This is mostly for me, but HEY.

( blah blah whine whine blah )

It goes LIKE SO. You comment here and ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider raping you into apping, etc.

WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!

In this way we talk at each other, which is fun.

I play Dahlia and Sheena!

Character: Sheena Fujibayashi
Series: Tales of Symphonia
Character Age: 19
Canon: In the realm of Tales of Symphonia there are, in fact, two worlds; as such, they suffer from a double-whammy of woes, ranging from drought and famine to manipulation of the masses to attempted genocide. Hope comes, naturally, from the only place it possibly could: a precocious bunch of teenagers and the old people tagging along with them. Among these ambitious teens is Sheena Fujibayashi, the obligatory sexy ninja and Enemy with a Heart of Gold, who joins the group after a long and hilarious quest to kill them. Tough-minded, dedicated, and loyal to the bitter end, she makes an ideal ninja - just not much of an assassin.

That is to say, as much as Sheena tries to create an image of cool aloofness befitting a ninja, it isn't difficult to get to the real her underneath - the part of her that is emotional, stubborn, and just a mite oversensitive. She is easily flustered and prone to flying off the handle; often times an embarrassed and/or upset Sheena is loud, and even more often, violent. Not to say that she isn't a gentle, kind-hearted soul underneath it all, because she is - she just doesn't have any qualms about giving you a bruise or five if you deserve it.

Note: Seal cards are paper cards imbued with magic, and Sheena's primary weapon of choice.

Sample Post:

Vantage point, check. Seal cards, check. Backup knives... uh, check. Not that I'll need them, but it's good to be prepared, even if it's not much of a target. I mean, I don't really have much to go on – stick figures on a wanted poster? Come on! At least have some creativity! – but missing an arm is missing an arm, no matter how terrible the art is. I don't know who this Director thinks she is if she can't even keep a bunch of zombies under control, but if this guy really is as much of a threat to the public well-being as she says he is, I'm going to do something about it! No one has any right to terrorize people like that! And besides, it's just a zombie. Piece of cake.

-- wait just a second. I can hear you back there! Show your face, or I'll--... w-woah, hey! What the hell are you two doing in here?! Just.... I'm sorry if I barged in on your “rendezvous” or something, but could you just stop l-licking her for five seconds? I'm trying to do something here! Besides, if her face is as rotted as your tongue is – ugh, I don't even want to think about it. If you're trying to hide, I shouldn't be able to just walk in and sit down without either of you noticing! One of you needs to keep an eye open just in case. ... Well, not literally, I guess, since it would be weird if you were doing that with your eyes open and if you were staring at each other you wouldn't be able to see anyone coming anyway and--.... L-Look, I don't care who was here first, just get out already! I'm in the middle of something important!

Oh geez. Are you crying? Okay, hold on, don't go after your, uh... your boyfriend just yet. I wasn't yelling on purpose, I was just... surprised. And if you're boyfriend's upset at you for all of this, don't listen! You don't have to break your back just because he's a pervert! Sneaking around like this, getting all stressed out over nothing – you don't need to be treated like that. So stand up tall, dry your tears and go show him who's really in charge!

Right. Great. But before you do all that, could you look at this and tell me if you've seen this guy before? His name's, uh... Uwaargh. I think. I need to find him as soon as possible and--...

... what do you mean he just left?!
