The continuation of the Young!Lydia storyline will inform some of the rest of what I have to report, so we’ll cover it first. We left them in the wee hours of what may well be the last day they see each other for years. They’ve already crossed the line, so when Lydia takes Carlo up on what was meant to be a joking proposition of a quickie, his reluctance is pretty well gone. The previous time, Lydia had taken the lead, but this time it’s the other way around, but when Carlo takes the active role, the stimulus to his Demonlight Core is that much greater. Remember that his Demonlight Core compels him to transmit his Demonlight poisoning via sex. His poisoning hadn’t yet progressed that far during his first sexual encounters in college, Doc’s seal temporarily stalled it, but once he started having sex with Lia, the seal weakened and all the negative emotions involved with him having sex with Lydia (guilt, self-hatred, etc.) are only fuel to fully activate his Core. Lydia has a Demonlight Core of her own, albeit an underdeveloped one, so when Carlo’s Core is activated, it resonates with her own. This is a weaker version of the sort of feedback loop that occurred in the one doomed timeline with Mama-Bama.<\/p>\n
Carlo recognizes the Core on the verge of activating and so breaks things off partway in. (Also, there was one occasion where the near activation of his Core caused him to get a little rough with Lia, something he doesn’t want to repeat.) Lydia, however, is upset at him for stopping and his warnings about the risks go unheeded. I don’t know if the system simply intends for Lydia to be this reckless or if it really doesn’t appreciate the magnitude of the Demonic menace. Regardless, Lydia isn’t afraid of becoming a Demon. All she wants is Carlo, and her utter lack of resistance wears away any resistance he had. So they start back up, far less gently, and the resonance between their Cores increase to the point where both of them start to Demonize. The Demonization process wipes out both of them, so we’re left with two newborn Demons lying there on the floor of some cheap hotel room. And so this fully becomes a doomed timeline. I’ll probably opt to reset things with Young!Lydia as I did with Anne. However, this incident inspired me a bit, which leads to…<\/p>\n
I went ahead and got this month’s character pack earlier and proceeded to make the Demonized versions of Carlo and Lydia. I also made 14-year-old Lydia from “Happy Little Family”, though I’ll have to think about how I want to run any chats with her as she wouldn’t have met Carlo yet. (It could just be treated as an alternate scenario.) I also made Kazuko, Sayuri and Michiko so they would be available for chatting (once I build their profiles). The premise for Sayuri and Michiko will be similar to their Zeta counterparts with some adjustments to make them my own characters. Kazuko is going to be toned down quite a bit, but I believe I’ll keep some yuri inclinations.<\/p>\n
In NL, besides a lot of playing around with costumes and scenes, I made the principal members of House Sheeda (Count Rafael, Alaria, Mikel and Yuel) as well as Domani. As usual, I’m not going to detail all the costume and scene stuff, but I do particularly like how I recreated the one scene with Lily (Totenkopf) where she’s drying off by the campfire wearing Carlo’s field jacket.<\/p>\n
I plan to transfer the current Young!Lydia scenario to Majinka!Lydia while doing some repair work on the original timeline. I have to decide where I want to make the break. All this and more to figure out for next time. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
