[OOC] State of the Union and Anything Goes Meme
State of the union stuff for Raidou:
IC: Currently re-adjusting to being his proper age again after spending a week and a half as a seven-year-old. Might possibly have developed a slight aversion to camp's cornfields.
Plot: Raidou has been pretty busy over the last few months, between canon-updating to post-Lucifer, the camp anniversary event, and most recently being reverted to childhood. He is still coming to terms with that last in particular; he doesn't like being vulnerable (and he's still smarting over the camp anniversary event somewhat, for much the same reason) and while he's grateful that so many people were willing to look out for him and everything, he's not sure he really wants to talk about it with anyone. Mostly, he's embarrassed about it. There's also the fact that Raidou essentially had to cast off his former identity to become Raidou, and suddenly being reverted to the person he was before was... unsettling. Raidou does not think of himself as Jouhei; that chapter of his life is over with.
Before his de-aging, he'd stepped up his training regimen so he wouldn't be caught again the way he was during the cultists' invasion. He was extremely displeased at his poor showing and can't help but think Gouto would be appalled. To say nothing of the elders/his predecessors. He is still crushing on Narumi (and to a lesser extent Dante) but does his level best to ignore said crushes and mostly wishes they'd just go away.
OOC: Raidou has had problems with OOC-ness and veering into excessive angst (Anon, I am really sorry I never got back to you, but I am very grateful for the concrit). I've been trying to cut back on that, but I'm not sure it's been all that effective, since he tends to veer towards serious business in general. Otherwise, I'm still having a lot of fun playing him; reverting him to Jouhei was a particular highlight. The demons are also a tremendous amount of fun to play, but I still feel like I'm getting away with things I shouldn't by having them in camp.
Drop likelihood: Since he's my only character, that would result in dropping camp, and I'd rather not.
Meanwhile! Raidou hit 15,000 comments sometime last month, so have an Anything Goes meme! Essays, relationships (hypothetical and non-), first impressions, threading suggestions, whatever, demons included. I will try to answer in a more timely fashion this time.

...Actually, I'm curious as to how Alice's thoughts on Raidou might have changed now that she's met him as Jouhei.
