You're absolutely correct. The collabs (which we are encouraged to do) certainly don't add the same kind of information to the storyline as Ciel's incessant status of being violently ill to the exclusion of all other activities. 

Were one to read the posts, one may notice that (particularly for Ash) this is a character building moment. Don't get me wrong, his gradual alteration from being an well balanced guy to hearing voices and shutting people out almost entirely to having an emotional breakthrough (while retaining personal ethic) isn't quite as involved as Ciel suddenly having an onset of nausea, but I'll take what tiny accolades I can get for my efforts. 

So far as it affecting no one? Any character with relation to Ash might notice something different about him, IF he happens to take an action contrary to his usual routine. If one doesn't metagame, it leads to character development of their own. If you want to keep your guy in a glass bubble of dead weight and stagnation, go right ahead. He will be treated accordingly by the other characters in play as he is presently: With a mix of annoyance and pity. 

Please try to expand your scope with this. It's why we're here. God forbid we might actually create something and have a little fun while we're at it.

Okay, so about the first part: I do what I'm prompted to. I work with what I'm given. Ì mean, so far my character has been active in only 2 days of gameplay. On the first, the kid was starving to death. On the second mhe got bunnied offscreen with the excuse of a medical appointment, so I went with that. Believe me, if I had known that it would come up so frequently, i would have made a healthier character (i thought it would only be an issue occasionally, and added it because I felt that he needed another flaw). I wholeheartedly believe that the sick thing is not my fault. And believe me, I'm not happy with it. I'm as annoyed as you are, but unless you want me to retcon the flaw out of existence, we are stuck. Sorry.

And like I said,  i DON'T think that the collab was pointless. I just think it probably wasn't necessarily needed that it be read thoroughly. That said, i did read it before I complained.

All i meant was that I don't always have time to read 30 paragraph romance subplots.
