Evil!Lain mini-event info

[digital-overlay.livejournal.com]

Hello all, Sera here with some info on our next event. As you may remember from the poll, this involves Lain's powers activating and merging with the holodeck. Thus raising the collective unconscious of everyone on the station to the conscious level, while at the time using the holodeck to project everyone's, thoughts, memories, and other such things as holograms. There will be a anonymous text post over the net work from Evil!Lain with her thoughts on the matters and another on the main com for everything else.

Also, Lain's evil self will be trolling the hell out of everyone on the station with her usual style of information mongering and mocking. Feel free to post here if you have any questions, want to plot stuff, or have any secrets you'd like Evil!Lain to spill all over the network.

The dish on Duck and Edward (duck and lobster are pretty tasty)

[poorduck.livejournal.com]

DUCK is pretty blameless.

- Her being a duck is not a secret anymore, but she still doesn't like it advertised. (And she doesn't want Mr. Cat to know for obvious reasons.)
- Her dream is still to become a Prima Ballerina one day, even though she's still kind of terrible at ballet.
- She's currently feeling kind of abandonned. In the aftermath of her canon, Mytho and Rue have ridden off into the sunset, and no one remembers that Duck was ever a girl but Fakir, who promised to stick with her even now that she was a regular duck. She knows that it's not anyone's fault, but it still doesn't stop her from feeling alone.

EDWARD is mostly also blameless but there's too much more to work with

- Let's start with the fact that Edward was created as a guinea pig to test out the queenmaking process before they moved on to his sister, Sam. TL;DR EVEN BEFORE HE WAS A ZYGOTE HE WAS MEANT TO BE USED AND DISCARDED.

- Because he was only meant as a test subject they didn't want him getting in Sam's way, so he was deliberately designed to be stupid. This didn't stop his father from treating him like a leper. His father's pet name for him was "Jetsam" because he said Edward would be the first thing he'd throw out an airlock if they needed to get rid of dead weight. TL;DR EDWARD'S FATHER IS A DICK WHO PUNISHED HIM FOR BEING STUPID EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SAID DICK'S OWN FAULT.

-Sam loved him and taught him to be brave and honest and loyal and good and she basically raised him, so he loved her (but not like that). But then it turned out she was at least as much of a dick as their father AND she'd been incestuous with his clone-that-had-his-father's-mind-in-it. (Long story.) And then he had to kill her. And as she was dying she kissed him. TL;DR EDWARD'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS SISTER USED TO BE PEACHY BUT NOW IT'S FUCKED UP.

- The first clue Edward of his family's plot was when he initially got smart and queenly a good 20 years before the start of the story, at the beginning of the civil war. He realized Sam was up to no good, but he repressed those memories and his powers because he didn't want to believe the person most important to him who loved him and cared for him and everything could do something so despicable. Then the High Queen was killed and he had to smuggle his step-daughter, the princess Innocence somewhere he couldn't follow, and then he was evacuated to a base on Troyen's moon. TL;DR THAT'S 20 YEARS OF GUILT OVER THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE, NOT BEING ABLE TO BE THERE FOR HIS STEP-DAUGHTER, PLUS THE REPRESSED GUILT OF KNOWING HIS SISTER WAS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURRENT SITUATION.

- This repression of his powers, intellect and memories of his sister's betrayal came out in the persona of Smart Edward when events at the beginning of the novel triggered their return. Smart Edward is an arrogant son of a bitch who is smart and charismatic and devious and basically is a king. And knows exactly how to use lolpheromones. It was stated that Edward and Smart Edward would eventually reintegrate as Edward took on the responsibility of being a leader of Mandasars, but this did not take place because Edward doesn't LIKE Smart Edward and doesn't want to be devious and arrogant. TL;DR EDWARD HAS A (NOT REALLY EVIL BUT KINDA ASSHOLISH) ALTERNATE PERSONALITY THAT HE IS KIND OF AFRAID OF.

- Smart Edward is a secret. Edward really doesn't want anyone thinking he's crazy and he definitely doesn't want Smart Edward to integrate and doesn't want anyone seeing that side of him. Similarly, the lolpheromones are not exactly a secret but not something he wants to advertise. TL;DR EDWARD DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW ABOUT SMART EDWARD OR HIS PHEROMONES.
