curious

Hey,

Just dropping a quick note to check in with my 2 threads I have on the go with John :)

John/Ethan & John/Tamsin.

Was just wondering if you guys were looking to continue or if we should bring them to some sort of end. I'd just like to know as the muse is loud and demanding, that and he has issues >.>

Anyhoo, just let me know either way, I know how pissing annoying real life can be.

Hope all is okay!

	Definitely want to continue -- shit's just been crazy at work. Amazing how the possibility of losing your job can make everybody go insane. (Plus I have the stress of knowing I'm NOT losing mine and having to keep quiet about it.) So yes! Am tagging back... uh. Shortly. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ick, work stress. That sucks. Hopefully it'll let up soon enough and work out the right way! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Ha! I was talking with Liz about how it's kind of hard in the John/Ethan thread to reply, because John is such a closed off character. I've been trying to think of things, but between the stress with my job (I'll be getting let go when the new shift leads are trained) and moving in August (one of the reasons why I'm not so fussed about the getting let go thing), and then the sleep deprivation! I haven't been able to think. It's ridiculous. The past few days, I get home from work and if I don't crash, then I'm far too brain dead and all I can do is watch TV. Fun times, man, fun times.

I'll try to think of something tonight.

I figured it might be as much because yes the boy is completely closed off >.> He's a difficult character to write and interact with unless you're fortunate enough to have gotten past his barriers *eyes Bobby* even then he's bit of a shit o.O but yeah I can easily close it off if that's what needs to happen :)

Hope the work stress dies down soon, I know how that goes.

	It's even more difficult because Ethan does want to say something, because he worries about the kid, but there's nothing more he can say that John won't either shrug off or take offense to. :/ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess that's a risk he runs >.> John genuinely does like Ethan (which is rare and a good thing) so he isn't as likely to be a bastard about everything. Look at Bobby <.< The irony is that John wants to be noticed/cared about, but the things he does and the things he says tend to put people off. He's his own worst enemy.

	He really is. I understand what that's like, having been there... well, most of my life. D: If I can figure out what exactly it is Ethan wants to say, I'll keep the thread going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That seriously sucks. If I could play him any other way I would, lol. But, yeah, John is... complex. And best of luck! If you need any help or any advice I am available OOC for hints and tips about the muse. Am considering forcing him into sessions with Adelaide, but I need something to trigger compulsory appointments, (Reply to this) (Parent)
