Without reviewing the thread . . . She definitely doesn't like him! It's not a dislike breed of hate or anything like that, though. She finds him just to be an irritating man, especially with saying that she and Lelouch are alike. Granted, they do compliment each other, but she is so much better than him as he is in love with his sister and is easily topped. Given time, they will probably work well together for goading each other onto abusing Lelouch or she could potentially get jealous of him hogging her silly noodle.
No complaints from CC! He did what she asked without asking why which was just her style. She didn't really except him to be able to throw Suzaku, but she definitely took away something nice from that interaction and her bonding with Ferris later. CC will probably warm up to him later since she was busy dealing with this, that, and the other thing when she arrived.
Vincent is . . . Well, Vincent is a troll. He can appreciate that Raven is more than he makes himself out to be which is a definite plus. It wouldn't be interesting, otherwise. ♥ Vincent also really appreciated that Raven knew to keep everything on the level, rather than reacting to what could have been a bad situation. It wasn't how Vincent would have liked to handle that situation, and he's never touching something like it again, but Raven was a good sport about everything. Still, he can't quite get over how off the mark Raven was with Yuri, in Vincent's mind at least, so he can't help wanting to pity him almost. It's not Vincent's way to be threatened by other people when it comes to Yuri, but he really almost wants to encourage Raven and whatever he's trying to get at, just to sadistically enjoy Yuri being pushed . . . Except Yuri never responds to situations the way Vincent would like him to, but he can keep hoping that someone else will have better luck.
As far as I can recall, the two games of note were the party game and the one wherein Vincent flipped a table. To tell you the truth, Vincent had no intention of even trying to win until Neji told him that he expected Vincent to win it for them in not so many words. Then, he was like Oh, well, if Neji wants me to do this, then I could be a sport, I suppose~. So, enjoy your gold star there. Vincent really does enjoy their functional relationship and is willing to actually upkeep on it.
On the flipside, Neji sure did fuck him over in the other game. Vincent counted on him to be on his side of the board, especially after Beauty's event, but Neji said what he said without being pushed to it at all. Granted, Vincent has been out of the loop on the team and prefers it that way, but he did not realize that they were a team that would do that sort of thing ever . . . Until they were. If it happens again, he will shoot them without any hesitation. As it is, Elliot ruined team-dere like I said, so he's probably even more sore at Neji about that whole event, since he was supposed to align with Vincent not with the bleeding hearts. Grow a pair, ninja.
That was really rather . . . Well, yes, Vincent wasn't prepared in the least for that, much less with Sasuke saying it in a girl's body. It was complete cognitive dissonance, and he didn't expect for Sasuke to actually have the ability to grasp on to it as being love like he did. It was so off the grid for what Vincent knows and expects of Sasuke that he cut the conversation short to give himself time to think over the whole matter.
So, I will just run through those mental processes here, go you. Really, Vincent knows that he should have next to no hand in what happens between Itachi and Sasuke. They are both mistrusting of him to a ridiculous degree, so he knows better than to touch it at all if they were actually going somewhere with that. It would neither harm nor benefit him if they did, so he isn't really looking to mess around with that in the least, not like how he has pushed certain relationships around Aather.
—Actually, on that note! Vincent is really surprised that Itachi hasn't shared his insight with Sasuke, since Sasuke has been missing out on the point as it were for awhile now. Sasuke is a dangerous piece in that he knows what is going on with Vincent and if he could connect the dots, he could actually parse out Vincent's rationale and plans, but . . . Well, it's Sasuke, and Vincent has realized his shortcomings. Still, with Itachi in the mix, it's a bit confusing where that is going. Hmm, hmm, brothers . . .
Back on topic, Vincent will deal with the matter if Sasuke actually wanted some advice on it. It would be a hilarious throwback to the beginning of their relationship, and he wouldn't mind having something of an in with Sasuke again, though he would be infinitely more guarded with what he doles out. Still, Vincent knows that Sasuke has nowhere else to go with that kind of feeling, and he screwed himself over by saying it out loud . . . So, he will profit when and where he can. ♥
Wow, I am just going to write you everything. Enjoy that.
★ At the very beginning of the thread, Vincent was playing with a lighter. It was Gilbert's lighter, for the record. So, if you thought that I didn't sneak any brocon in at all . . . Well, silly you~.
★ Alright, dreams and mental landscape and all that is a very hilarious thing for Vincent. He has picked up and practiced working with that whole area since the very first heart game, so he has been at it for nearly two IC months. Even within his own mind, he is a fortress, so he can't tap in and tap out of his thoughts anymore. He's always running something in his head. It popped up in his heart game like I said, but after the first dream post where he was having a rather, mm, benign dream that Sasuke and Yuri showed up in . . . Well, he's stopped dreaming, per se. It's something like a cross between lucid dreaming, having a mental block on REM sleep, and letting Dormouse act like a sleep aid.
This isn't to say that he doesn't get lost or has full mastery of dreams yet. It's still an odd territory that he hasn't quite felt out, so he will slip a lot, like the bleeding ballroom, slipping into dream-logic without question, and the umbrellas that showed up. So, the dream threads really do run an almost Inception-logic where Vincent will have multiple personas and/or motives running at once that he has to try to focus on if he doesn't lay back and let them roll with it.
★ That said, he did appreciate getting a peek at Yuri in a more exposed form from his teenage years. ♥ It definitely gives a little insight to what Yuri wants and the act that he does put on. It's still somewhat like water, in that he can't quite get a hold on it, but Vincent can see the whole picture a little better. Remember, Vincent can't piss him off as much as he may try, so Yuri still has a fair bit of ground to stand on when it comes to Vincent.
However, the opera scene was . . . It was unplanned. It was a huge slip-up, and Vincent was more shocked that he did not keep control of himself, more than he was upset that Yuri saw something like that. Vincent is always waiting for the other shoe to drop with them, and he knows that to an extent Yuri should be pretty well aware that Vincent was never ever a good guy. It may have been a bit more graphic and less sophisticated than Vincent would prefer to share as those sorts of liaisons . . . Well, they weren't for anyone to know about to begin with. Still, Vincent has been ultra-focused on keeping people from prying into him in any form, emotionally, in his dreams, and even in his heart. So, that was really an uncool situation with the potential to go even worse! Oh, no!
Except Yuri was a good sport about the whole situation, and Vincent was more worked up than even he realized with how Yuri would react to it. See, Vincent may play cool that he can walk and not feel it, but Vincent also cuts off people's heads then realizes afterwards that he's upset because someone he loved died. This boy is not so good with his feelings! Time and again, Yuri has made it very clear where he stands on the issue, so Vincent will just . . . Keep letting him steam-roll his way along. He won't let him stop from indulging himself, believing what he'd like, and keep stringing Yuri along for this really horrible ride.
Haha, CC can't . . . Quite put her thumb on Mukuro, yet she knows they probably share a hell of a lot in common. Either way, he's really charming and sweet, so she doesn't care to puzzle him out one way or another. They respect each others boundaries while being able to have a good rapport, so she's got what she needs from him.
R-Reverse? I would write more, but it's so . . . ~~~~.
Shirley . . . Haha . . . Hah. Well, CC does not care for any of her castmates right now, as I said earlier in this post. She doesn't know who Shirley is, and CC doesn't quite take to her. She thinks that she's naive and ends up being very clumsy because of it. Really, I think she has more of innate fear of getting close to someone who is someone openly emotional, and Shirley definitely is to CC, which goes right against her grain.
As for Oz . . . Hmm, she isn't going to come to a premature decision yet. Oz is a very sweet young boy, to be sure. Still, there's something missing that doesn't quite settle the case firmly for her, like when they had their small discussion on power. Either way the case falls, CC does appreciate that he was very welcoming to her and that they can get along rather easily until she finds her rhythm in the relationship.
My memory is bad, so I'll be brief, but . . . Vincent really does have a completely new appreciation for Echo. She is so easily led around and so on that while Vincent understands why he used her before, he really, really doesn't understand why he needed her, specifically. Even with the Zwei reveal, he could have had someone else serving at his side while still keeping her in the wings, but . . . C'est la vie. He enjoys getting a second chance at it, though he would really rather be much, much worse to her than he ever has been in Aather. Someday, someday. ♥
He can understand that she wants to be a morally responsible person and take credit for her actions, but that does not mean fuck your team over. Really, he finds her idealism amusing when it doesn't involve him, but when it does . . . No, he's not alright with it. The world is not as simple as doing good or doing wrong, and priorities have to be made because you can't always have what you want. He indulged her this time, but he expects the favor to be returned.
God, my memory is a sieve, so I don't have too much to say. Really, all of Ruby made a pretty positive impression upon CC, and she's not quite close to a decision about Luke that isn't he is a nice boy who has a decent handle on the situation. Given time to poke at him, she'll probably be rather fond of him and his outlook, but it's hard to say.
The better question would be did Vincent care enough to try to figure it out? . . . The answer is no. No, he did not. As far as he can deduce, she is probably more loving and dere in his general direction, but if her team couldn't figure it out quickly then he's less likely to be able to put his finger on it. She's not a raving maniac trying to kill him, and he isn't really bothered by anything else that happens after that.
Frankly, he's rather . . . Complacent with Misato? They have a very casual relationship where they can pass time with each other easily enough. If they wanted, they could be more serious, but he sincerely doubts that she does and he really has his hands full as it is. So, it works simply as it is with them being passing friends. Really, they should go on a date and split a bottle of wine on the sand dunes and be responsible adults with the sheer simplicity of their relationship. He would not be opposed to that at all.
How messed up is she with the post-heart game stuff? Also, short love life summary.
I . . . I am cheating and going to copypaste from an old answer that still applies!!
Last but not least is Inara which is the hardest one to place. She is another one that balances emotion and logic well, but she also enters into Vincent's realm of social manipulation, almost abrasively so. More clearly than anyone else on the team, Vincent understands that he could come into clear conflict with her which doesn't benefit the team in the least. So, he keeps his distance, plays nice, and tries not to undercut the efforts of the team to work together, but he has no intention of getting close to her and hopes that she will understand the situation enough to give him space to allow that. The other side is possible, where they could work amazingly well together, which Vincent isn't unaware of, but he doesn't see that Iolite needs him to take the risk of dissolution in the hopes of stronger unification.
So, yes, Vincent doesn't want to hang with her, which doesn't mean that I don't want to thread with her . . . He's just very backed off with the whole Inara situation. He doesn't like emotions, and she seems to be pretty competent in that area, so it's like a cat with water, natch.
