i'm trying to be understanding to my needs

while also not fucking shit up

as someone hwo doesn't go here and has zero skin in the game, you should do what feels like fun.

I WANT TO i just feel like a stinky liar face lmao

^^ that always, but also i will additionally add that sometimes some characters to not vibe with some settings as well as you thought they might and that's okay

YEAH that's where i'm at. i think that lab was a poor choice for ryou, who probably had a decent ending arc. i just want him to be happy

and if i had apped non-crau ryou this probably would have been fine

yeah i feel you

but now kaiba's owning fullass real-estate in my brain and pretending he doesn't is A LIE

that's one of the reasons i started fresh with tony

yeah, Ryslig-Ryou et al got a happy ending

BUT ALSO kaiba and tony's cr would be freaking hysterical so sue me for being selfish here

god yeah??? I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT MY WHOLE LIFE (since i started playing kaiba)

fair warning, if you drop Ryou I will probably also drop RS? idk I have to think about how invested I am in the game in general, but I've mainly been staying to keep Ryou company

tony: billionaire playboy philanthropist
seto: billionaire nerd ph...philanthropist actually...?

SEE THAT'S WHY I FEEL GUILTY TOO MORDRID. i didn't want to either 1, be the only reason you're in the game if you don't want to be here but 2, the reason you drop ;; it's Complicated

i didn't want you to feel as if i just don't want to play with you - patently untrue. u3u

YEAH I feel you,,,

I wish to Play In A Game with my frens
I'm not sure if lab is the best game for me tho, it's... so much all the time...

it is, and i LIKE THAT IN A man GAME, but not for ryou.

i want to be here when shit goes down just not with ryou apparently. he's tired and deserves rest

Heckin is too, but there isn't an overarching metaplot there

meanwhile kaiba is a bitchass and deserves inconvenience

YEAH like i would play in heckin, i'm losing my mind in heckin rn

but i also get if heckin is Too Much

i just kind of extend as far as I feel like it because I do still want game life. I'm just also in semi-retirement where I clearly prefer PSL storylines for their lack of restriction lol

(and yet i love Lab and want to push my face into every event

)

I'm toying with... maybe focusing on my fic for a lil, then see about apping fanfic-RS to Heckin... I'm pondering things atm

which is super fair!

If you do swap for Kaiba, I will look forward to building CR with him!

I think I apped a bad canon point for RS at Heckin before, super-early canon RS is hard to play lol

saaaame meowzy. ;7; honestly i'm kind of happy if ryou never finds out steven is an enforcer because it would BREAK HIS HEART...truly. which is exactly what i love about things usually but ryou's heart is already so busted

and also YEHHHH, like. i imagine playing early-canon could be tough

i say, considering playing early canon kaiba

let Ryou rewind, and rest in space with his new fambily

He needs to be in space with his boyfriend and his lion and his ring man and the rest of the group

I almost got a plot rolling with RS at Heckin, but I just ran out of steam with him before I could get too into it

thank you guys for being supportive. <3 i think this is making it easier for me to accept that ryou is going on the shelf

Ryou will be missed, but Kaiba will be welcomed!

now it's just a matter of which kaiba i want to fw

First seven volumes/s0
Duelist Kingdom
Battle City
Post-DSOD

there's merit in each

duelist kingdom kaiba is super funny to consider. he's still not done fixing his heart, and he's full of anger beans because HIS COMPANY AND HIS BROTHER ARE IN DANGER from some fruity foppish fruit fop

hey so actually, question Meowzy if i drop ryou does that mean...i need an invite to app kaiba? i'm sure i can just ASK FOR ONE lmao. it's nbd, just trying to sort the details

i figure i could just ask you because you're here-adjacent lol

lmfao that is a really good question.

Technically you'd need to drop Ryou before you can app Kaiba (because close castmates), so technically you'd be out of the game even if it's only for a split second and thus you'd need a new invite, but... We could just add in a clause about character swapping to make things easier for everyone.

I AM HERE MAKING THINGS RIDICULOUS AS USUAL

whichever way you go with it, if you would like me to formally ask on the FAQ so it's notated in a visible space, I can!

We can discuss behind the scenes! Please hold!

o7

ryou has had a hell of a run

and i completely understand wanting to start fresh, it's why i did it even though i took the same character

Lab IS a pretty involved game but that's what i find so appealing, but if you app a CRAU with an extensive background it would be unwieldy really fast

Y E A H...i want to write a new story ig? not deal with the rest, it feels like toooooo much for such a game which is This Much

Yeah, we'll write a clause up regarding invites when a character is dropped for the sake of apping a different one.

You can probably refer to that clause in Kaiba's app in place of an invite link.

okay! <3 tyyyyy

I absolutely can't app but I do want you to know that seeing you and epi talk made me go "I want Bruce in that room"

the venn diagram of billionaire - playboy - torturer that they make with "philanthropist" in the middle

well no hold on billionaire in the middle

kaiba is a philanthropist torturer
Bruce is a playboy torturer
tony is a playboy philanthropist

krystal i must thank you for understanding how weird it is that seto kaiba is a thirst trap when he is not a playboy imo

but also IF BRUCIE WAS IN THIS TOO THE VIBES WOULD BE THE MOST RANCID SOUP

IT WOULD BE THE WORST

THE DEDICATION TO ACTING LIKE A DUMB SHIT WOULD IMMEDIATELY ENDEAR HIM TO TONY AND DISGUST KAIBA
