It just feels so [i]jarring[/i]. You'd think there would at least be a bit more escalation to the kind of behavior that showed up (and I know realistically there wouldn't be so much of that). I mean, it's still the first day, we're not even close to our first mission with the Cruzi and we're already nigh-literally killing each other.

I understand all the circumstances behind this, am I'm not trying to point fingers, it's just... ugh. I don't even know, myself. Right now, I'm just waiting for a collab that I should probably give up on at this point, but now I don't know how to respond to all this. So much has suddenly gone down that I'm having trouble playing catch up and judging where and what Lora would be in all of this. But maybe that's my fault, more than anyone else's.

Oh yeah, it's still the first day! However, I think you could tell from the few collabs I've done with the rest of the peeps that Yeshua always had a problem with contact. He was shielding himself away from the world for too long, becoming too bitter and too cold. I wouldn't just write him breaking for the sake of it; I had no need to, but it just went with the moment. At that point, Koehler had just broken him by inconsiderate violence. If I remember, he was laughing at him while his face seemed to be melting. It was humiliating (remember when he kept saying he didn't want to be "weak", just like he belittled Elora?) and he wanted to prove he was strong, which eventually ended up with him almost killing Harold. It works, trust me, even though it's dark and nasty. I didn't sign up for this RP for giggles.
