[Characters] Brianna's starting to roll... err...
Hahahaha. Either that title can refer to the fact that Brianna is currently confined to a wheelchair or the fact that she keeps saying to people who keep bringing her goodies that they're trying to make her fat... ;)
Anyway, I've got about five scenes under my belt with her at this point and I can say that she's getting a little easier to RP. I still have some difficulties and sometimes I have to fight old habits (which I have identified as not-so-great habits), but I think I'm rolling with the punches a little bit more and that she's got a bit of a storyline now. She has a few things going on and getting dumped in her lap and now she's got to find some way of dealing with it all while in this cast for two months.
She's getting cranky. (Thought she was cranky in the last few scenes? Ain't seen nothing yet. Heh.)
She's been confined to her bed long enough, too. I meant to drag her out a couple of nights ago (as the constant elevation thing is only supposed to be a 2-3 day ordeal), but stuff happened and RL has been stressful so I have really only RP'd Marrow. So, people can expect to see her struggling around the place in a wheelchair with her leg stuck out before her (think: smacking into doorframes and tables periodically). Hopefully things keep going better like they have been. I enjoy the character concept and do like RPing her. I just need to find that 'fun place' for her again.
Meanwhile, yes, I realize that having had her break her leg is going to limit what she can do over the next few months but frankly, I'm fine with it because her leg break has already generated some RP and I think it might take her in other potential directions (maybe taking up new activities since her physical activity will be limited -- so Ninjitsu class will be put on hold, but maybe she'll start focusing more on her technology knowledge and skills, for example).
And the coolest thing about her breaking her leg?
I heard that it spurred some RP between some folks. Gave them something to talk about.
That warms my little RP-geek heart like you wouldn't believe. :) And in turn, that RP opens up more RP for me.
To quote Babylon 5: "And so it begins..."

And sorry, but Rahne is going to keep bringing the cookies until she feels she's properly made up for letting Bri get hurt. So - another few years should probably just about do it. Though it might help if she gets the chance to see Brianna up and about (well, about anyway).
And hey, at least we know the school is already wheelchair-friendly, right?
Was thinking of perhaps sending Rahne out to investigate a few of those plot bubbles now that the X-Men stuff is a little quieter for a bit. If you (or anyone reading this) wants in on that, it'd be much more fun to have some people along!
And really, now. Rahne wasn't even in the hangar, so she didn't 'let' her get hurt. *snickers* That girl's got an overblown sense of guilt, lemme tell you. ;)
And yes, with the exception of a few cupboards, the school really is wheelchair-friendly.
Heh. Honestly, I want to get Bri going again, get her re-established, get her out and meeting with her squad and some of the new kids before I get into any more plot. I figure an X-Men re-group session is in order, too. But if I find things drying up at all, I'll poke you to see if you've dove into those plot bubbles yet and if so, if I can tag along. :)
You're just beginning to realize this? ;P
Anyway, yeah, sounds like things are rolling well enough for ya now, which is good to hear. I suppose you do have a fair bit to deal with, between squads and the X-Men now, plus dealing with her own personal stuff and recovery and all, but yeah, if you find yourself at loose ends at any point, feel free to poke. Haven't had the chance to get started on that stuff, since, well, I'd kind of like at least one partner in crime before I jump in. So we'll see how things go.
