Mainly for balance! Drift is pretty settled in the types of games/threads/interactions/etcccc he's good for, so I was hoping to get someone who would let me experience the other side of things! And just character-wise, Drift is very volatile and his development often goes very rapidly; contrarily, Cub remains similar at his core and his changes are a lot more steady. And, of course, Drift is on one end of the spectrum with tsuntsun pessimism, and Cub is on the other with deredere optimism. Since they're two extremes I do miss some things that might be offered by having a character closer to the middle, but it's been working out well so far!
Umineko I adore! Probably my least favorite part is the way the writer writes, since it can be kind of tedious to get into at times, but otherwise it's fab! It's a game where the plot services the characters, which I really enjoy, so much of it is devoted to character development and interaction, as well as how those characters contribute to the overall story. Umineko's mysteries are also fun to just talk about because even if you have no idea what's going on, the knicks and knacks are really cool to spot out and discuss. I AM BAD AT SPECIFICS but there you go!
Tell me about C.C.! I'm canon blind for CG and she's different than I was lead to believe back in the day (granted, not that I knew very much, even then).
Well, I am curious as to what you believed she was like before now . . .
Gosh, um, how to describe C.C. . . Well, she appears as this very enigmatic though intuitive and eccentric character that does whatever she pleases whenever she pleases. She foils very nicely with the philosophical and social conflicts that the series brings up as well as serving as a sort of balance to Lelouch and Suzaku. At heart, she really is a sweet girl who wanted simply to be loved and to love others, but that wish ended up getting distorted as she became involved with Geass and cursed her fate to lead an immortal and unending life, facing the hatred and misunderstanding of humans while still loving them all the while. There's a lot of issues and thoughts in play with her, both externally and internally, so she really is a very interesting character to watch and play. Now, I'm going to shamelessly link what I think describes her best: Go go monologue on the root of happiness!

Reason why I should read Drift's canon, go!
