ALBERT ON DERA

THIS IS GOING TO BE BY FAR THE LONGEST RESPONSE ON THIS POST :|a (unless someone asks for SOTU, but I've already got that one typed up on notepad, SO HA.)

The short version of Albert on Dera is: HE LOVES HIM ... BUT IT'S COMPLICATED.

Dera and Albert are similar in age and in short tempers :|a. Sooo with the way they interact, Dera was pretty much always on the fast train to "best friend/practically siblings" territory. Which is pretty much THE WORST position to be in from a leader standpoint, because that position is the one that gets the most crap from Albert 8D. What I mean is, Albert LIKES DERA A LOT!!!1 ... but he doesn't necessarily respect his opinion all the time and isn't afraid to talk back to him :|a. In Sabra this is ... nnnot such a great idea, obvs 8D. He thinks Dera is crazyyyy paranoidddd.

Albert isn't even sure what he likes so much about Dera! IT'S JUST A FEELING!! Albert has a lot of those (often they are wrong but in this case they are aren't). He was the first person he met when he woke up and he was so excited to see Albert, so there is that "FIRST BOND!!!" attachment, as well as a fondness for the "Person who stayed up all night worrying over me and took care of me." He's had enough conversations with him by now to KNOW that Scowl is a really good person, but he doesn't fundamentally get why he's so tsundere about it. He doesn't understand what his hang up is \o/! You're a nice person, why not show it?! Why do you have to be so goddamn tough about everything?! He tries to be nice or concerned and it gets thrown back in his face 8D! To Albert that's pretty much akin to the worst kind of rudeness, and Dera is great at rude, so of course he reverts to FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD around Dera easily. He'll also forgive him easily in ten minutes time! But yeah.

Basically, it is a bit of a love/hate relationship from Albert's end with an extra dose of CONFUSION thrown in there too. WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO CONFUSING BRO.

... Am I allowed to ask for Dera on Albert considering you pretty much addressed it in your SOTU?

I forget exactly what I said there so I can reiterate it in long version here.

Scowl loves Albert! He loves every member of Hydra by default from the moment they wake up. And, as of yet, not one has given him a good enough reason to stop doing that. :|a However in Albert's case, their first conversation involved trying to explain the issues with Canis to him and getting told to leave him out of it. And Scowl has been placing a lot of blame on himself for the situation with that team! He understands that he's not got the best temper and that the things he does in games are terrible and don't win him any points. But him playing to protect his team and being cranky has (so he believes) resulted in attacks against Hydracula in games. And while he doesn't feel like he's done anything any worse than anyone else in Sabra the feeling that it happened because of the kind of person he is is a pretty strong one. 8|a KIND OF HATES HIMSELF OVER IT. S-so hearing "leave me out of this" translated in Dera's view of things to "leave me out of this problem that you created for the team \o/ I just woke up why do I have to worry about a situation like this this sucks ahhh" since that is kind of how he is thinking of himself right now.

SO teammate that he loves and wants to protect clearly thinks he's a nuisance causing problems for the team. 8( And he is unsure how to deal with that at all and can't feel quite as connected to him since he is being stupid. And since he can't feel connected he flips into tsundere mode instead of calm dere like he would with the rest of the team. 8|a

D-DID THAT ALL MAKE SENSE and if it did tell me about Albert and Yayoi too 8)

NO IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE sobb we need to find a way to work out our communication issues that we don't even know we are having 8(

OKAY. THAT ONE'S PRETTY SIMPLE REALLY.

Yayoi falls neatly into Albert's idea of the "ideal girl". She's nice, polite, normal, caring, logical, non-threatening, feminine, pretty, and pings him in his need-to-protect-girls place. (And as he found out, isn't afraid to stand up for what's right!!) Even without that last one, he pretty much got an instant very superficial crush on her right from the get-go. HORMONES YAY!

Then the second room in Game 93 happened and he worked up a MASSIVE GUILT COMPLEX about it. He feels partly responsible for what happened to her, and I don't think I can explain it any more clearly than he just did in the thread we just had, SO. That's that.

... That's about it. He likes her and is awkward around her. Also Red mentioned him HAVING COMPETITION ON HYDRA and now he is curious as to which one of his bros is also crushing on her 8|aaaa.

Oh right now do me in reverse :D.

that reminds me she should ask him about Fang and Sparta. SHE THINKS THEY ARE TWINS RIGHT NOW 8|a

Yayoi likes Albert! He pings her as a very good sort of person. He was clearly worried about everyone during that game, and she doesn't begrudge him not stepping up at all. He had the most valid reason of anyone to want to stay out of the punishments since Excel was visibly injured and got sick during the first room. His obligation to his partner was the most pressing one! So she never even thought there was anything to forgive regarding him and the game. :|a WAS DOIN WHAT HE HAD TO DO

And then he was very nice and sent her flowers to cheer her up. :( She doesn't realize they're anything but platonic as is only right according to Air Gear laws, but they're still a very nice gesture. And the conversation they just had only upped his good points since he was more worried about her than his own injuries and 8(

8(!!! loev Albert he is such a nice guy. But it's all platonic rite 8D?

TELL ME ALBERT'S GENERAL IMPRESSIONS OF ALL THE TEAMS 8DD

Someone needs to tell you that I talk. Thoughts/impressions on puppy?

noooooooooooooooooooooo doooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed 8(!!!! STUPID AIR GEAR. ... Well I suppose it's okay, Albert is about as fail as an Air Gear boy anyway.

HOW IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION Albear loev everyone by default. Also he does not judge teams as a whole until he's met them as a whole! Which I don't think he has for any team except Hydra and now most of Cepheus. But okay going into detail--

Vulpecula: PARTNER TEAM!!! He doesn't know much about them except that they're his partner team and he has mixed feelings about Excel. Anyway, he'd protect them in a heartbeat automatically because he is loyal like that.

Pyxis: OH GOD he is trying so hard to stay neutral and "not gonna judge them until I meet the rest of them :|" after Game 92 but after seeing Blood's behaviour HE IS KIND OF TOO SCARED TO APPROACH THEM so until one of them approaches him, he will be steering clear \o/.

Monoceros: he met Castiel and he liked Castiel! Otherwise he doesn't really have an opinion of them at all yet.

Cepheus: A++++ bro team. Would hang out at again.

Cygnus: Has no opinion of. He met Kohaku who was helpful but kind of didn't really leave a strong impression on him. I don't think he even noticed her in Game 93 at all, he was too busy worrying about his own shit.

Lepus: :|a... HE FEELS REALLY BAD FOR THEM because on the one hand they are the LEPER TEAM and no team deserves that. On the other hand, HE SAW MIKAILA, NOT GONNA LIE, SHE FREAKED HIM OUT. A LOT. And a lot of other people haven't exactly painted their team for him in a great light either. He will probbaly defend them next time if he ever sees someone picking on them without good reason, because he just feels awful about what happened in the game, but like Pyxis, he's not going to go out of his way to seek them out until he knows them better either. S-Spiders are terrifyingggg /o\.

Hydra: BEST TEAM!!!!!!!!!!1

Canis: ............... lololol. Albert LIKES everyone he's met on Canis so far. Recent scoldings from Shigure have made him kind of sour about that, but at the end of the day Albert's only argumentative, not openly rebellious. After a conversation like that, he won't seek them out again, mostly because it's more trouble than it's worth to do so. (He knows they take turns babysitting him, so.)

Lacerta: Allen and Razzy's team! Nice people so far :3.

Orion: He's met Kirk, Mitsuru and Kirika. He ... isn't quite sure what to make of the latter two! He knows they're not bad, and he's not wary of them, but he just can't get a READ on them at all and that makes him ... awkwarrrdd. HOWEVER he loev Kirk and looks up to him a lot 8D.

Pavo: He couldn't get a read on Lenalee from game 93. He met Howl though and he likes him! So reserving judgement for now, until he meets more.

Delphinus: Ha ha there's one in each category here. Soujirou: TERRIFYING. Zero: can't get a read on. Edward: GOOD GUY \o/. Because he's wary of Soujirou, he won't go seek Del out either, but he likes Edward and will seek him out. He's reserving judgement on the rest of the team for now too.

Corvus: NEW GUYS!!! Will be willing to help them out until given a reason not to \o/.

Lynx: Same as above really. \o/

WOW THIS COMMENT IS LONG.

Counter question: memory you most want Dera to get back right now and why?

Mostly just ADORABLE!!!! and holy shit why can you turn into a human/why can you turn in to a dog and also WHY IS THERE A DOG PLAYING??

Ack oh right. Reverse?

Puppy likes Albert. He thinks he's funny and nice. He wishes he can talk to him though he's also still iffy about Hydra at the same time. (not that it's hard to win puppy over)

OOC feelings on Hydra or Sabra so far? :D

I'M REALLY ENJOYING IT \o/! Idk, for all people laugh about it I am really enjoying playing Albert on Hydra and AS FAR AS I'M AWARE (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) everyone else is having fun too? He does actually have some typical Hydra traits (the tragic emo past, the UNDYING LOYALTY once gained) but it's just that they're buried under all his :D :D :D!!!

... Is there more to say than that? I really am enjoying the game so far! IT'S VIRTUALLY SUCKED MY SOUL OUT.

Character you'd most like to see in Sabra but wouldn't want to app? (And why?)

"Deciding to share a room with Yamamoto in the underground base" 8D

IT IS THE MOST SUBTLY AMAZINGLY GAY THING THAT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HAPPENED EVER. In the future arc Dera is staying in a room with Tenth at first. Then for SOME REASON he moves OUT of Tenth's room and INTO YAMAMOTO'S. WITH NO FUSS OR COMPLAINT OR ANYTHING it is not even done onscreen. He is just THERE. CHILLIN OUT WHILE YAMAMOTO NAPS. So that is basically why.

What memory do you want to get first and why? :|a

First Impressions on Wataru? |D

OH MAN THAT'S A HARD QUESTION. There's SO MANY to choose from (forty-something if I recall correctly) and so many different ways they could play out too. /goes to look them over

SELFISHLY, I'd have to say I most want either the shooting range memory or the DUMB PIRATE FIGHT memory because they both involve SKILLS!!!! that would make Albert feel much less useless... something he is feeling SUPER KEENLY right now and it is getting him down.

I also wouldn't mind getting the DADDY HAS GONE CRAZY memory back early too for maximum horrible trauma impact 8D 8D 8D. Or the scene where he nearly confesses his love to the Count because. LOL WHAT.

Character you most want to see in Sabra (and why) that is NOT from one of your current canons, but that you don't want to app! (Or if you can't think of one that you don't want to app, I suppose one you do works too |D.)

He is a nice (if DEPRESSING) kid! Albert's glad he has an ally in him, and that he could turn him around from "everybody sucks" because wow that is no way for a 12 year old to be.

Same back atcha?

DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE JUST ONE man idk 8( Kanda and Olivier Armstrong are both up there (because I selfishly want them for Hydra one daaay)

I also super super want Amy Pond here and came thiiiiiis close to apping her instead of Yayoi. She would fit in very well taken from just after SPOILER in the dream life episode.

ALBERT'S FIVE FAVORITE OFF TEAM PEOPLE AND WHY

First impressions me!!!

...other me who isn't on Pyxis I mean :|a

1) Yayoi - see above

2) Kirk - see above

3) Allen - TEACHING ME HOW TO COOK \o/ Also helped him to understand Dera a little better and cheered him up when he felt like shit.

4) Razzy - TINIEST JESUS

5) Ed and Wataru - homies in the same school of LET'S NOT KILL PEOPLE train of thought \o/

If Dera was stalking Albert while he was talking to the new kids today, what are Dera's thoughts on the new kids from a... stalkery perspective?

SYAORAN SPEAKS TO HIS HEART IDK MANG \o/ Syaoran is a comrade of the Good Behaviour Brigade soul or something. FELLOW BRO. But he is also kind of quiet and hard for Albert to get a read on sometimes, and also YOU BETRAYED ME TO FAITH HOW COULD YOU 8(!!! Ultimately knows he's a good guy though. Is worried sometimes that Syaoran thinks badly of his behaviour in Game 93. But then, Albert has a lot of hang ups about that game that aren't necessarily logical, lolol.

... It doesn't really go much deeper than that :|a. Reverse? (Yes this is the real reason I did a questions meme instead of a relationship meme, why do you ask. DON'T JUDGE ME I am self indulgent.)

Arrow is okay so far. :|a Non-aggressive, calm, didn't seem to be upsetting Albert any.

Rory is also okay. He seems kinda tense to Dera, but not in a way that makes him concerned. Typical new guy who just woke up and is slightly on edge sort of vibe.

Dean is MILDLY concerning since he got Albert to snap a little 8|a But he checked his behavior fairly quickly so it didn't leave a strong (read: lasting) impression on Dera. He is keeping a bit more of an eye on that conversation than the others though.

And Meridian he is IMPRESSED with since she fought the giant flying thing 8D BADASS TINY GIRL OMG

What does Albert think of being stalked everywhere?

11-year-old, actually. Not that... that makes it better.

SEE THAT ESSAY I WROTE. Okay so that was more about what Albert said than what Wataru concretely think about HIM, so let's see;

Wataru likes Albert a lot, more so after that slap in the face since now he'll try to avoid people who see the reality of Sabra, and someone like Albert who is a complete naive optimist will likely never talk about how things sucks :Db So he looks up to him a lot.

If Albert brings up how that conversation started, Wataru will probably skip over the unpleasant parts and act like they never happened. He also will never go close to the Hydracula dorms again, but if he sees Albert out and about he's likely to strike up a conversation with him.

Man, I suck at remembering questions.

Who would you consider apping if you wanted a second?

LE SIIIIGHHHHH. It's annoying but he understands it comes with good intentions so he puts up with it. He'll probably start to protest if it goes on more than like, two weeks, though.

What was Dera's original wish when he first came to Sabra and how has that changed since coming here? (And if applicable, do you think it'll change again in the future or revert back to the original?)

THAT I already have in mind, but I don't want to app a second when I'm gonna be back on CRAZY SCHEDULE from the end of August and basically hard to reach. Settling in one is enough for now.

But I really want to app Orphen from Sorcerous Stabber Orphen :|b.

Same question I asked Dera! What was Mitani's original wish when he first came to Sabra and how has that changed since coming here? (And if applicable, do you think it'll change again in the future or revert back to the original? Or stay the same?)
