Q&A

[vitaelamorte.livejournal.com]

Got questions? Ask 'em here!

[turn4bout.livejournal.com]

OH, BUT LINDA? IS THIS A MIRROR EVENT? ARE THESE SHADOWS OUR MIRROR CHARACTERS?

[walkingdesuno.livejournal.com]

ho snap. linda why is it so epic?

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

because i am the coolest kid you will ever meet.

also this is my first eway character event ;u;

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Yujinn: As he's evolved in Wonderland, he's not longer depressed, but he does constantly worry that he's not good enough, or that he'll try to help someone and mess up. Any ideas?

Hubb: Hubb misses Jasmine. Everything he's done for forty years has been trying to avoid thinking about it. His shadows will be dressed in mourning clothes and will constantly cry over her picture.

Ivanova: Her shadow will be obviously telepathic. She will be considerably less confident, and openly mourn her lost opportunities for connecting with people.

Jean: Jean's shadow will be obviously mature and a bit of a flirt. Jean missed most of her childhood, which is why she's still rather innocent for a now grown woman. There will be elements of her guilt over her past as well.

Ryuho: I'm still struggling with this one. I'm thinking Ryuho's shadow will be a child in handcuffs, because he locked down after his mother's death and never developed much emotionally after that point. I'm open to suggestions?

Kura: Kura's shadow will be clingy and lonely and obviously terrified of being left alone.

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

Naoto, surprisingly, doesn't have to face her true self. Since she's kinda sorta already done that. But she will be running around WITH HER POWERS INTACT (fuck yes persona) and will be beating the shit out of shadows right and left.

ASK HER FOR HELP. SHE WILL SAVE ALL THE DAYS.

Terezi: this is going to be hard. lemme think a bit.

[forevercapslock.livejournal.com]

Clearly Terezi's shadow will BE A HUGE BITCH BLUH BLUH.

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

This event is epic win. XD

Minato: He'll fighting Shadows if anyone needs help! He's done it before in the game that is Naoto's prequel. Lots of experience. ^-^ He also has a healing spell if anyone is hurt.

[detectiveace.livejournal.com]

I require one awkward moment of "oh my god persona user" and then glorious shadow-ass kicking combo team.

[forevercapslock.livejournal.com]

hurricanebomber I have some ideas, but I'm trying to decide what I like the best. Either way, it's not going to be difficult for him to face down his shadow, just because he's aware of his own shortcomings. Not that he wants them parading around...

kyokugen_sun I have no ideas for him at all. He doesn't really have any parts of his personality that he refuses to cop to that I can think of. Suggestions are welcome.

notursalvation His shadow will be this. (http://karyx.spectrumvoid.net/images/Deadman_ch19_21.png) It will be terrifying.
His area of the mansion will inexplicably be sprouting red chrysanthemums (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3513/3277649774_3ecb9ee74e.jpg). The reference is twofold: 1) in the ~*~Japanese language of flowers~*~ chrysanthemums symbolize the truth, and 2) in his canon, the phrase "a red flower blooming" is used when Nagi physically crushes a man's head in one hand after he regains his repressed memories (referring to the blood splatter left on the wall, but also to his reawakening nature as a "violent bodhisattva" slkdfjsadf Genkaku you huge creeper 8||||).

second_first I don't know about her either kldsjfsdagdfgh.

last_liar His shadow is completely distrustful of other people, has a nervous disposition, and is pretty much agoraphobic. And possibly likes to wear a rabbit mask (http://karyx.spectrumvoid.net/images/rabbitmask.jpg).
As for his room, he gets this grody place (http://karyx.spectrumvoid.net/images/personaevent_yuu.jpg). Fun times.

forevercapslock Karkat's shadow is eluding me. His area of the mansion, though, will involve copious amounts of red ahem liquid dripping from cracks in the walls.

disjointed_dead I just don't even.

[walkingdesuno.livejournal.com]

oh my god nagi. why do you have such scary characters.

[itsahotone.livejournal.com]

..I like how this happens around the one time Santana will actually have some guilt to deal with. Other than that and her deep down insecurity, I'm not sure what I could do..

I am also failing to think up how to work with even those two aspects. Faaail all over the place for meeeee.

[forevercapslock.livejournal.com]

Idk Glee, but maybe her shadow is just. Incredibly FAIL at everything to illustrate the insecurity? :|a

[ironlass.livejournal.com]

This event.
It is the greatest and I love you for it. But I have no idea what to do for Jade dhvfubfh WHAT DO 8'|
Jadesprites everywhere??

[forevercapslock.livejournal.com]

[inimicous.livejournal.com]

Man, Justin, why must you lack a proper canon background?

The only thing I can think of from the top of my head is his idolism to the point of madness. Because, you know, insanity has been decreed A Very Bad Thing by Shinigami. That's to say, highlight to read recent chapter spoilers: . So it's naturally something he'd deny by his canon point (as I'm assuming that he was perfectly normal before the battle for Brew).

If I go with the above, Justin's shadow would be . . . incredibly preachy. So preachy and obsessed with religion that he'll seem deranged and embrace madness it is delicious. Basically, I'll be taking his most commendable trait and cranking it up so much that it'll represent something he won't stand for.

Am I even making sense.

[vampire-kingxx.livejournal.com]

gndskgksghgdsghsgdks

OH god. I need plots helps ASAP >.> This guy here is probably gonna have one of those psycho crazy Shadows. He's got a lot of things he hides and bottles up... mainly for a certain raven haired green eyed princess.

He'll never admit to that... and he'll probably be one of those who will reject his Shadow off the bat. XD;;; doesn't help that he's already like crazy powerful... he'll definitely need some help taking down that shadow sfskghs >>

[alwaysaboom.livejournal.com]

Maybe he shadow is a hopeless romantic?

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

Kurt: Kurt's Shadow will be terribly insecure, but destructively so. His Shadow will be controlling and manipulative, and yet also desperate for approval. He wants you to love him, to care about him, to not choose someone else over him, and he will find ways to make sure this happens. He will get that happy ending (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxQ-a_9b_Zg), you see. LOL KURT WILL NEED SOME ASSISTANCE FIGHTING IT, because there is no way he will want to accept that he can get like that. Even though he gave Rachel a terrible makeover to ruin her chances with Finn, and set up his dad and Finn's mom specifically to get him living in the same room as Finn, and is currently trying to ruin Castiel and Dean's love life, and I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS Aside from the fact that exaggerating it makes him seem kind of psychotic, he likes to think he's not that desperate for approval, because he is a free bitch baby, as Gaga would say.

I COULD DO THEM ALL IN ONE COMMENT, BUT THAT TOOK FOREVER, so Nitori and Yukino are getting their own comments.

[dashboardlite.livejournal.com]

HOW DARE YOU TRY AND RUIN THAT LOVE.
A LOVE THAT TRANSCENDS THE AGES.

[dashboardlite.livejournal.com]

Dean Winchester

Needs people. He likes to pretend that he doesn't, as we all know, and he can pull off the "bad boy loner" on a good day, but inside he's an emotional wreck. Daddy issues, abandonment issues, a need to watch over his brother like an overprotective mother hen, the inability to have a stable relationship for longer than a month - Dean has it all, but also has the tendency to repress all of his emotions to an unhealthy extent. His shadow is going to be lonely and clingy, terrified of being by himself because he relies on others so heavily.

His broken family is his primary concern, followed by his need to please his father no matter what - a crutch that's really going to hit hard considering his recent gay panic around Castiel. Dean will need help fighting his shadow, because he's not willing to admit that he needs his loved ones in order to be happy.

[sadfreezingbrit.livejournal.com]

/

...That being said I'm guessing Dean will be fine in combat with Sam & Cas, but if they're unavailable for some reason I can offer support from Philip (hey, you did say he needed more gun practice), Elle (her own shadow will send her into rage mode, so she just wants to kill things) or Bhamba (he probably won't have a shadow of his own and he does live on Dean's floor, so he could be passing by and show off his creepy bioweapons).

[hi-blog.livejournal.com]

Jack- He's so simple minded, he really has no aspect of his personality he doesn't want to face. He's mentally a very small child x_x

Hibari- Man... where to start. Losing a fight was the hardest blow he ever took so it will definitely have to do with the fact that he has limits, that he's not invincible. So his shadow will likely just... be much more human in regards to emotions and fears. Probably face the fact that he does need and sometimes even want other people around and perhaps even just how childish he still is. So... maybe a ten year old version of himself wearing clothes too big for him to better illustrate that he's not as grown up and mature as he thinks he is? Most of what he would have to face relate well to being a "normal" child.

His hall/room will probably look like elementary school with all the furniture and stuff made for much smaller bodies with bright colors and cartoonish drawings.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

Obviously he should be a child in a hedgehog suit.

[skater-lynx.livejournal.com]

Haru: Surprise. Something not offensive. Meet 'adult' Haru. Feeding on the idea that Haru is not necessarily the most mature individual and sometimes he notices it , we have an shadow who grew out of the 'kids shit'. He wants get his act together and to go back to school. The places that Haru likes to visit will be dully black and white and very business office like.

Seimei:  Not quite sure yet. I'll listen to an idea or two.

Seeu: Still thinking about it. I'll listen to an idea or two.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Seeu is a bit overprotective of Yujinn sometimes, since he did grow up being told he was responsible for everyone on his planet. Maybe Seeu has to face the idea that he can't prevent all harm from the people he cares about, but it's not his fault?

[timisnotme.livejournal.com]

Oh dear god.

I don't even know what to do.

Someone help me.

[sadfreezingbrit.livejournal.com]

Errr, blatantly copying what I did for Philip, is there anything Tim (secretly) likes about Masky? Shadow self could be all like "Hey, at least it makes us interesting and if we ever get sick of somebody, all we have to do is put on a mask, stab the shit out of them and say it really wasn't our fault~"

Alternatively uhm... he's fairly composed, usually, so maybe his shadow self could be a lot more scared of things?

[sadfreezingbrit.livejournal.com]

Lamb
Her room, the clinic and the practice will turn into a mausoleum, playing on the 'she's already dead' aspect. Her shadow self will probably be overly disillusioned, selfish and indulgent.

She would likely acknowledge it though, so at least that's one battle off the list.

Bhamba
His shadow self will lament the loss of his one true love, Sander Cohen.

...Yeah, or the real answer which will hopefully come to me at some point.

Elle
Not sure about her surroundings yet, but her shadow self will be a scared little girl who hates it here because everyone is mean to her and she just wants to go home *sob*. Not literally a little girl, but... you know.

And Elle will calmly and quietly SLICE THAT FUCKING LYING BITCH UP.

Philip
He sometimes wonders if Clarence has a point about certain things, but would never acknowledge that they could possibly agree on anything, so his shadow self will be a Clarence sympathiser who badmouths Philip's friends.

...And he could probably use some help fighting this thing. /backs away nervously while maintaining masterful level of denial

[blimeyjamwalls.livejournal.com]

So, uh...

Round two of the Denial Olympics, or should we conspire to keep these guys apart for a little while? XD

[evilwhitesmiles.livejournal.com]

Pffft This is such an epic event and yet I have no clue what Shadow! Byakuran will be yet... -sob- Anyone wanna make any suggestions~? xD;;;

[kyokugen-sun.livejournal.com]

Byakuran's shadow could be incredibly paranoid and/or child-like. :|a

[youwillbe-mist.livejournal.com]

This event is ttly the most beautiful thing ever btw :>

Mukuro: His shadow will be terrified of being left alone and will go out of its way to make friends 8U

Rei: Her shadow self will be more independent and selfish. Which will absolutely break her sad very Japanese self fft

Lambo: Uhh. He's a babby, but if mods permit I kinda wanna do something like THIS (http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q143/immyalterego/godwhyyyyy.png) with him. Spoilers if you haven't beaten P4...or if you actually care about Teddy

Izaya:: Is actually the one I can't think of anything for even though there has to be something GLARINGLY OBVIOUS I'm missing :|;; suggestions?

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Maybe shadow Izaya makes it glaringly obvious how terrified of dying he is? He could be an open creeper instead of a closet creeper too.

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

Mark's favorite areas of the mansion--like Linda guessed, his room, a bit of his hall, and part of the library--will become a chessboard/labyrinth thing, littered as usual with crumpled papers and scrawled with coded messages. I think the three areas will temporarily link to each other--like, a character could wander into the library and have the labyrinth spit him out into the second floor hall. And, of course, it's a maze, so it's easier to get in than out.

Mark's shadow self is literally blind, and will be wandering about lost and purposeless. Because even this late in his canon, Mark secretly self-doubts quite a bit. And going to Wonderland/getting wound up in Slendernonsense hasn't helped that much.

And he's not going to acknowledge that, sooooo he's going to need help.

[turn4bout.livejournal.com]

terezi would be glad to help. blind helping the blind or something. >:]

[murderbypirate.livejournal.com]

Captain Shakespeare

Will be an incarnation of his pirate persona, because beneath the gruff exterior he puts on for his crew, he's a big softie who loves to cook, play piano, waltz, and wear pretty dresses. The man is going to be bitter and cruel - the stereotypical heartless gossip who couldn't give a damn as long as he blatantly shows off what Captain Shakespeare is really like: a flamboyant eccentric.

Shakespeare is going to accept his Shadow, since he'll come to realize that his "reputation" doesn't really matter here, but he'll artfully dodge admitting to it for a while.

Being a fantastic swordsman, though, he'd love to help anyone who needs assistance fighting their personal demons. :D

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Poland has some serious social anxiety. It's been better than it might otherwise be because of the comfortable distance that the communicators provide and the time he's had to get used to being around the people in Wonderland, but he tends to be really nervous around strangers, putting up a brave front when possible... then freaking out and crying to Jadwiga, hiding behind Liet, etc. from time to time.

So Poland's shadow is a reflection of that fear of people, and of the long-lasting loneliness springing from that fear. He's a blubbering little babby who's too scared to make friends ;_;

Idk if his surroundings will change... :|a

The MS doesn't try to hide things, honestly, and he gives the impression of being 100% at peace with himself. He's full of secrets, but not of the "I hide this because I can't face it" sort, so yeah... I don't think he'll really have much to do this time around ^^;;

Burt's a pretty honest guy, but I'm sure he's got things he needs to face... *headtilts* I'm thinking, like... Okay. He accepts gay people just fine, but the thought of them (his son especially) as sexual beings is still something really difficult for him to handle--there've been a couple of instances in canon when he's been awkward about sex-related discussions because of Kurt's homosexuality, despite his good intentions. Maybe something about that? :|a

[thisisherson.livejournal.com]

First thought: This fanart right here (http://randomsplashes.tumblr.com/post/3473338062/burt-googles-what-really-happened-in-the-tent-he), LOL.

Second thought was something more like "AND THEN THERE WERE DIRTY PICTURES OF GAY SEXIN' ALL OVER THE WALLS AND EVERYONE IS OFFICIALLY BANNED FROM BURT'S ROOM. INCLUDING BURT. AND ESPECIALLY KURT."

I don't even know what is wrong with my head today. XD;

[scary-enough.livejournal.com]

So, I really want to get Spencer involved in this one. I have two possible avenues though I'm not sure which to run with yet.

Option one: plays on Spencer's fear of failure and that she will never be anything better than second best to her sister. I'm not entirely sure how this would manifest (since I don't know the Persona series), possibly as a slightly older Spencer in a really reputable job/who has achieved something pretty remarkable but who still isn't satisfied, or else as a Spencer who is even more competitive than the real thing. I don't know. Either way, I'm not sure if she'd be accepting or not as I'm not sure whether she'd be accepting the fear of failing or the fact that she is and always will be second best.

Option two: ties into her residual guilt over Ali. This relates to something in a later episode than the one she's been brought in from but that actually happened in Spencer's past - basically the fact that she and Ali had a fight before Ali died and Spencer has this irrational fear that she somehow wished death on her friend. This Spencer would have elements of Ali about her appearance and would basically ramp up Spencer's need to take charge. Not sure of the exact details of this either, though.

BTW if I have anything wrong/have misunderstood how the shadows work, please feel free to poke me and say - as I said, I'm unfamiliar with the canon so guidance is appreciated.

[forevercapslock.livejournal.com]

idk Pretty Little Liars at all, but with option one, if you went with her fear of failure/insecurity about being second best, she might try to do anything she can to prove to people that she's got worth? Like, really obvious attempts, idk.

[girlshaveitgood.livejournal.com]

Nitori: Nitori's Shadow, in all of my predictability, will be him as a girl and openly talking about how he wants to become a girl someday. There have been moments in canon where Nitori's ~wavered~ a little on this, but he'll accept his Shadow pretty easily, I think. Especially since he's told this secret to some people in the mansion already.

Nitori's actually sort of had dreams like this in canon, where he confronts a girl version of himself, so it will be a little surreal, but his Shadow won't be met with a violent "THAT'S NOT MEEEEEEEEEEE" or anything. XD;

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

Oh good. Nitori can help Yuu with his weirdo shadow. 8||||

[mydadsadentist.livejournal.com]

ALKJSDLFKJDF AND THEN KHAT COMMENTED ON A PLOTTING POST FOR ONCE YAY

Mercedes: Her shadow will revolve around her insecurities. Not...the insecurities themselves but the fact of having them. She is supposed to be head bitch in charge fabulous ass diva and having something that makes her feel bad about herself does not fit with that. So her shadow will be someone that freely talks about her insecurities - her weight; being single; possibly a feeling of isolation being the one of very few black girls in a predominately white school and town - this isn't addressed very well in canon, though, so I'm definitely going to consider how I approach that issue specifically. Basically I'm thinking it'll be a lot of "Oh...nobody likes a fat girl." or "I'm single now and I'm going to be forever." and things to that effect.

Juno: I don't know how many people saw this coming but: the baby. Or well...it's related. I want it to be about a tiny bit of attachment that she felt. She became fairly adjusted to the pregnancy and really acted like any other mom during the pregnancy - she had to have felt some attachment to the baby, despite the detachment she worked so hard for: "I want a closed adoption," "He wasn't ever ours; he was always hers," etc. So any young children/small defenseless animals/anyone that could use mothering running around the mansion will want to be on the look out for Juno's shadow, because she will be desperately clinging.

Any thoughts are appreciated! :D

[demon-bitch.livejournal.com]

*beats head against wall*

Apparently I just totally fail at life, because as much as Sam represses shit I still can't think of anything other than maybe his shadow is like a manipulative jackass who secretly resents his family for screwing up his life? I DON'T KNOW!!!!

*curls up in a corner and dies*

Oh btw, are we supposed to post a reaction thing at midnight or is that just something we just acknowledge as happening and move on? Or both? 83

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

If he has feelings he's not at ease with about, say, resenting his family for screwing up his life, that sounds like a really reasonable direction to go with it! Basically, what you want is just an overdone representation of that side of him that he isn't at peace with, you know?

And you can either do it or handwave it, is the usual approach ;) Your call, you know?
