Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion
I don't really want that per se, it's just that Merrium is a difficult character to trust on account of her apparent insanity/corruption/possession/whatever the Hell it is with her. I mean, would YOU want to be friendly with someone who just enslaved you and is either batshit crazy, not what she looks like or both?
And besides, Lily has a legitimate reason to have a hard time trusting people, on account of the betrayal and it's consequences. And yes, she does view her enslavement as part of that. So much as I'd prefer to keep this light and friendly, I actually wrote myself into a position where doing so is difficult.
Also, I have bullying issues I haven't really dealt with. I'm beginning to notice they may be affecting my approach a bit, since I'm noticing similarities between a slaver's behaviour and that of a bully. It's kinda making me subconsciously hostile towards them and I have trouble catching myself on that sometimes.
