It's been forever since I did one of these and Apple hit 32k...sometime this weekend? SO LET'S HAVE A QUESTION MEME. Ask me things and I will ask you things back! I can do those dot things and heart things too but you will have to link me to them because HTML is hard.

I have Apple/Shirayuki and Haruki at Aather
Machika, Leo, and Jack at CFUD
Apple/Shirayuki at Decollage

I like the colors okay

YES IT WAS.

Berry actually . . . does not do too well with teams! Her concept of team was broken super early by Citrine, and the trauma is something she never really recovered from. Her ideas about trauma games was also very, very heavily influenced by Three's elevator game—it was her first game ever, within a day of waking up. It taught her that KAITO HAD BEEN LYING WHEN HE SAID THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY OUT \8'D/ It also taught her that Aather has a culture of victim-blaming, and that teams cannot be relied upon to work together because it's basically throwing seven people with radically different ideologies and goals into a group! SOME SOMETIMES THOSE INDIVIDUALS WOULD RATHER MURDER EACH OTHER THAN TALK go figure.

Iiiiiiit also also wrecked her confidence when it comes to things like . . . mm, being listened to? I CAN TALK AT PEOPLE ALL I WANT BUT THEY WON'T LISTEN TO ME. '-' That kind of thing.

SO. It's going to be really interesting to see how she reacts to games where more than she and one other Sapphire are playing at a time! There are a lot of different ways it could go, and a lot of it depends on the team's approach towards and ability to compromise. Berry is more likely to go quiet and try not to PTSD than get stubborn and yell, though the latter can (and has!) happened ( . . . with Kaito), but in the end she wouldn't really feel like she can begrudge the choices that Sapphire makes. In Three's game, Drift was pretty adamant that Newbies Should Shut Up With Their Morals and as much as she bucks against that, it still kind of stuck with her. T-Though honestly Berry and morality is a thing in and of itself; SHE WOULD LOVE TO NEVER HURT ANYBODY EVER but. Kaito flips out over the possibility of her dying, and. Yeah. She doesn't want to wreck his sanity.

Tl;dr Berry in team games is pretty .-.

Talk to me about Shirayuki and pirates.

Berry can sit in the corner with Yuki while everyone else tries to break the system :(b Sapphire will love you shhhh

Shirayuki was kidnapped by pirates and they were going to sell her and this other boy that kidnapped her first to rich nobles with weird hair fetishes GROSS PIRATES ARE SUCH JERKS UGH!! Canonly she isn't really shown to have any intense dislike of pirates after that, but she also lives in a castle and does not meet pirates and pirates steal from people and kidnap people and she was pretty trauma'd after the whole affair so I imagine she doesn't care for them much. It's less that they're pirates and more that they are like slavers because they are willing to kidnap and sell people. Pirates loot things and kidnap people and although looting things is bad it's when they get down to hurting people/kidnapping people that she takes serious issue with pirates. Like if Kit's backstory had turned out to be OH ALSO I'M A PIRATE instead of a thief...she would have taken it very differently, despite the fact that she knows Kit as well as she does. I actually assume she has run into pirates beyond what we get in canon because she mentions...that there have been quite a few attempts to kidnap her. But they might not have been pirates IDK WHENEVER I GET BACKSTORY I'LL KNOW. But those memories translated over to a dislike of pirates in Aather because kidnapping people is clearly something pirates do. Hook is a pirate and he kidnapped Mau on the boat >E Also kind of killed a lot of people in traumaprom game. NONE OF HER EXPERIENCES WITH PIRATES HAVE BEEN GOOD SO PIRATES MUST BE BAD. That said she DOES kind of take it on a case by case basis, since Typhoon is a pirate but he seems pretty okay?? She's still terribly awkward around him though.

Has Berry taken her dead mom memory yet, is that going to make her sadface a lot??
