Sylum and Eri talk

[08:34] <Eridana> Seems to be very self-pity and stuff right now, which is understandable
[08:34] <Eridana> Honestly, this is the kind of thing I'd really like to see become like
[08:35] <Eridana> Sylum realises his faults, resolves to try and right his wrongs and explore his origins
[08:35] <Eridana> Go on a journey of self-discovery and that
[08:35] <Eridana> Its pretty downer right now
[08:36] <Eridana> If you were to balance it out with some uplifting spirit and him attempting to get out, something you could discuss with Oyu, you could make a rather nice character arc out of it
[08:37] <Eridana> That make sense?
[08:37] <Sylum> Yeah thats, wow
[08:37] <Eridana> I feel like I'm kind of rambling to myself, in a way.
[08:38] <Eridana> You'd have to be careful with how you word it though
[08:39] <Eridana> It could easily be spun as 'I'll show them! I'll become even better than I was before! I'll be the good guy!' or 'I'll show them! I'll become the best there ever was! I'll show them all! They'll all pay!'
[08:41] <Sylum> the original idea was going to focus more on the whole insanity aspect of him, but having him go to his lowest and rise above seems a lot better
[08:44] <Eridana> yeah maybe steer away from indulging the insanity aspect in a sadder context
[08:44] <Eridana> Like, playing it for funnies would be great
[08:44] <Eridana> But everyone is trying to steer away from the dark and sad, so it might meet mixed reception
[08:45] <Sylum> this can also tie into an ealier idea I've had for Sylum, him walking across america in, as you said, a journy of self discovery
[08:46] <Sylum> and while I'm not 100% sure how to do that with a jacket, having some semblance of an idea and arc is great, thanks Eri
[08:48] <Eridana> No problem
[08:48] <Eridana> happy to help
[08:49] <Eridana> >meanwhile I can't get Eri's story straight and want her to go back to being a hero and not sketchy merc
[08:49] <Eridana> wahhh
[08:51] <Sylum> I always figured shes better as a merc giving her power and look, like the attack form you made.
[08:51] <Eridana> truth
[08:54] <Sylum> But if you do want her to be a hero hero, maybe talk to bud with the Meta Police force hes making? I can't remember what its called
[08:56] <Eridana> Regulators?
[08:56] <Sylum> yeah those
[08:57] <Eridana> Hrmmmmm.
[08:57] <Eridana> Intredesting
[08:57] <Eridana> I was thinking about having Eri go on an international job, and have Juniper stow away to go with her
[08:58] <Sylum> Its always good to see those two develop more as a family
[08:58] <Eridana> Then they argue, and Eri still has to do the job, but Juniper says no killing and it all begins a moral shift for Eri
[09:00] <Sylum> maybe bring up past indences of harm Eri brought?
[09:05] <Eridana> yeah I need to write her on a job in the first place
[09:05] <Eridana> jesus
[09:05] <Eridana> I am behind
[09:06] <Sylum> Not like we have a set time here, I said both the Trance invasion and Purifiers would happen soon. now its been 3 months
[09:07] <Eridana> truuuuuuuue
[09:07] <Eridana> I'd like to get her sorted soon though
[09:08] <Sylum> I can understand that easily. Not being able to use your main character because you feel they are wrong is disheartening
[09:12] <Eridana> saaaad
[09:12] <Eridana> but hopefully I can sort it
[09:12] <Sylum> I can also Tell you Trance is available for international shenanigans, if you can't come up with anything else, which I'm sure you can. but as a backup plan its there
[09:19] <Eridana> Hrmmm.
[09:19] <Eridana> Shooting down ruskies
[09:19] <Eridana> Tempting
[09:26] <Sylum> It'd be good both ways too, you'd get to shoot ruskies and possible punch Ryan in the face for the tournament [wrong character and Elise is doing arguably worse, but who would resist punching that smug grin] and me/anna would be able to have someone not related with Russia or Poland fight them
[09:26] <Sylum> Everyone wins
[09:31] <Eridana> [interest intensifies]
[09:31] <Eridana> wait
[09:31] <Eridana> when you say Elise is worse off
[09:31] <Eridana> do you mean the fact that she is homeless?
[09:31] <Eridana> because I'm totally cool with that
[09:31] <Sylum> No I mean shes doing worse to Ryan then punching him
[09:32] <Eridana> ohhhhh
[09:50] <Eridana> hrmmmmm, you've given me shit to ponder
[09:50] <Eridana> i will return
[09:50] <Sylum> You've gave me lots to think about too
[09:50] <Eridana> i am glad this exchange occurred
[09:50] <Sylum> I think you may have saved Sylum in my eyes, thanksEri
[09:50] <Eridana> for now i submit to the lifestream
[09:51] <Sylum> Laater Girl
