i'll try not to get too obnoxiously detailed. mostly, i want to talk about how i appreciate and enjoy the nuance with which you play your characters -- especially jilly. although i've never read her canon, your jilly has such internal consistency and well-contextualized tags that she never comes across as a character i 'don't know enough about to understand' -- if you catch my drift. she is a very sweet and well-meaning character whose story and perspective (in my opinion) add a lot to this game. although she has a very tumultuous background, it's fascinating to watch a character barrel through luceti's setting with such poignant optimism.
faith seems to be jilly's foil on your list of luceti characters, but it's been great to see you tackle that difference and highlight the second slayer's insecurities and fears. the canon-point is a fascinating one! and i am grateful for the fact that you also enjoy a slow-broil build towards reconcilliation between buffy and faith. they both have every right to doubt each other right now and i relish the continued opportunity to have them fumble and glare their way towards an s7-like appreciation of each other and their contributions.
i do know booth's canon but i haven't really seen as much of him around. i know you struggle with his voice but when he is around, he does come across as (for the most part) authentic. of course, i haven't seen every single thread ever but i wonder if sometimes he might be too kind on the surface? booth has a very deep kindness and selflessness but he can be very impatient and brusque in his moment-to-moment interactions. if i've just not stalked enough and have missed that behaviour and perhaps only accidentally ended up biased, please let me know!
the only note i want to end on is that i know you can sometimes be overwhelmed by what's going on in the game and where your threads are at, considering you lead a busy professional life! that's entirely understandable, but i want you to know that my plurk is always open for chatting and planning and even handwaving if there's anything you would like to tidy up.
