Me: I am ignorant in these matters. XD
My friend and I just had an entire conversation in Spanish and I am quite pleased because using context clues, I could understand 95% of what she said without needing to translate. :D

Me: I'm just busy doing a mini celebratory dance inside of my head, meanwhile Carlos is just leaning against this blank wall and smirking because he already does Spanish. God damn it, Carlos, you show-off.
Carlos: ;)

Me: Fever and the stomach flu. Halfway through first period I started feeling like I was going to vomit, and so I had my mum pick me up at lunch. I feel awful because I'm missing practice...

Me: If you felt sick during first period then why did you wait until your lunch to have your mother come pick you up?

Me: Because I couldn't text her until break and then she couldn't get off of work until lunch time.
Me: So there was just a scene in Supernatural which reminds me so much of Raven and Rosemarie that it's not even funny. Dean and his ex-girlfriend are having a fight, and she's all "I thought it was what you wanted!"
And Dean snaps, "It wasn't."
"I didn't mean to hurt you!"
"Well, you did."
"I'm sorry!"
And then Dean, all angry-like: "Yeah, so am I."
It's hilarious because just afterwards she kisses him like there's no tomorrow as if to make up for it and before you know it, they're in bed together and then it cuts to morning and she says, "We should fight more often." And Dean replies "Absolutely."
That is literally how 90% of Raven and Rosemarie's arguments end up going. I'm so amused. XD

Me: Well, five now. I suppose it's evening but it feels like afternoon because it's bright and I should be at practice. Goodness, do I feel awful.
Roleplay, my darling? Or are the Winchester's taking up your full attention?

Me: So the plague demons still aren't through with you, hm? Perhaps one has taken up residence within your home. You should give it a name. XD
What I'm actually doing is some major procrastinating. I have homework which I don't want to do at the moment--so I'm not doing it. So to answer your question, no, I can't roleplay right now, but I can talk for a bit. A couple days ago you told me that you had some ideas brewing for Morgan and you said you'd tell me later when I asked you what they were.
Does now count as later? XD

Raven: Name it Felix.
Me: Wow, Raven. Hitting a little below the belt tonight?
Raven: *raises an eyebrow* Yes. We're all agitated because you're agitated.

Anywho. Since we are not RPing, I shall take this time to attempt to develop a character. Margaret Vixen Donoghue, and she's gonna go by Vixen I think. I don't exactly know much about her yet.

Me: Like either send her down the road of this fucked up little ball of anger, or send her down the entirely opposite road of some pitiful mess. Either one is a very real possibility.
Me: That seems like a thing you have. You either have to make your characters your poor little babies or you turn them into war machines.
Neither of them, if you want a little writer-to-writer criticism from me, are entirely plausible, especially not with Morgan's character.
Back when we first discussed the possibility of an attack, I asked you what would happen to Morgan. You said that she would probably become very quiet and obedient, the perfect picture of a girl out to please her "father" (Raven). When you said such, I agreed with your way of thinking. That seems like the kind of thing which Morgan would do. Your two extremes, however, do not seem to fit her current character. My logic goes a little like this: surely, she had to know that she was not entirely safe around Raven. After all, he has warned her before that he doesn't want to get emotionally attached, only condition her against all the negative influences of the asylum. He's even warned her, several times, that should she make him lose his temper, there is a very real possibility of her getting hurt. She always told him that she accepted these possibilities. Now, you could justify sending Morgan to one or the other extreme by saying that she was a child, and didn't know what she was saying--but that, too, would not be a very good explanation, because you have made a point of painting Morgan as a very mature, almost wise character for her age. You've said a good many times that she is no longer the innocent and naïve little girl she once was. Therefore, sending her back to an innocent, childish state of mind at the last second because it suits what you want to do would not be very believable.
The point I'm trying to make is that there is very rarely a character who can believably seesaw from mostly stable to an extreme, as you propose for Morgan. As she was not mentally unstable before coming to St. Peter's, and has exhibited no violent or otherwise questionable behavior up to this point, I do not believe that you could turn her into one of the war machines. However, because you have so emphasized her loss of childlike innocence and her taking on of this mature, almost wise mindset, I do not think that you can revert her back into a "pitiful mess", as you say. Rather, I would even go as far as to suggest you think of some other possibilities altogether--something which would better fit the character you have turned Morgan into.
This is, after all, a realistic roleplay, is it not?

Me: Indeed. If you really want Morgan to go through a drastic metamorphosis, I'm right here. We can discuss it, if you so wish--after all, it's partly my fault that you're considering the possibility in the first place.

Speaking of, I wish Silvy would get to the infirmary already. I have so many ideas for that boy it's not even funny. XD
