Weekend DE

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

Inspirired by my minor lower back spasms as I try to get things done today:

What minor physical difficulties does your pup deal with? This could be back problems (I know these can become huge quickly), allergies, near sightedness, or what have you. I'm looking for things that don't make their life hell just annoying from time to time.

Or, since we're in a App cycle and the start of a long weekend (here in the states at least):
Post in with current pups, old pups or new pups you are thinking of applying and complain about the answers to the above question and see if anyone else shares their pain.

Both my Ben's have trouble picking up small objects and just using normal things without breaking them. It is much more pronounced in Ult. Ben's life as in 616 Ben's life Reed has gone to pains to alter everything in the Baxter Building to make it usable by Ben. The fact he did this and never mentioned it is one of the reasons I love Reed when a good writer gets their hands on him.

Jessica has trouble with static electricity. It tends to build with her and she shocks people completely by accident, enough so that she makes a habit of grounding herself whenever she can. Side effect of her venom blasts I guess.

A couple more:
Julie is a kid and as such finds the world too large at times. She can fly though so this makes things easier.

Val sometimes gets confused when she's not wearing her armor and will either reach short to grab something or lift with too much strength.

Will's had enough injuries in his life that he gets twinges and sometimes his old scars from when he was captured will be rather bad. Thanks to Milliways' medicine, he's not as bad as he could be but sometimes bending too much makes his back hurt or his wrists will throb.

Sameth's main physical problem is connected to his fears as he has rather sever PTSD due to an attack he suffered. In canon, this causes major problems for him and in Milliways as otherwise he's in fairly good health. When it strikes, he gets pale and starts shivering and finds it hard to get warm.

Moist doesn't really have anything though he would consider where he's from and the fact people know things about him like this.

William doesn't either that I can think of.

Demeter is a goddess so she at times finds it annoying when out of nowhere people are praying to her again. She's grateful but sometimes they rather misunderstand her and that's annoying.

Jane always has some ink on her somewhere, which can be bothersome as she never knows if it makes her look foolish.

I don't know of one for Tumnus and the Pirate King has his own personal soundtrack, other people find that annoying. He would probably say Frederic and Ruth are personal annoyances of his.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

I love your answer for Demeter. =D

And I would suggest that modern flooring can be slippery for Tumnus' hooves. Then again they are split so perhaps they give better traction than I think.

[ceitfianna]

I hadn't thought of that, I need to use that in an EP. Oh and I know you're tagging back Ben tags, is Thalia still being quiet on you?

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

I think I can summon her up. For that William thread right?

[ceitfianna]

Yup, after he was hurt. We probably can get them to a fade spot of being quiet together in not too long.

[chameno_koritsi]

No problem. I'm forcing myself to be much more cautious with the number of open thread + number of pups I have active. With work being nuts and my muse being shy, I worry about my flake factor.

[ceitfianna]

That makes a lot of sense. Keep to what you feel you can handle and even less. Sometimes too many threads can make tagging not feel as much fun but like another round of things to do.

I don't have a huge amount going at the moment since I went on vacation, so its nice slipping back in. Also things are quiet at the moment as so many people are at DragonCon.

[olive-and-clove.livejournal.com]

I don't have much to complain about but at times, especially before it rains heavily, the old wound given to me by Gawain aches.

You try cleaning fur in baths made for furless folks. Plus being my size surrounded by tall folk.

Yrael has only to deal with the fact that he cannot show his true shape without causing property damage and potential blindness to the people around him. It means that he has to choose to keep a physical form to mask his true appearance while he's in the bar, just in case.

Zelgadiss is a 1/3 rock golem, 1/3 brau demon, 1/3 human chimera. He has super speed, super hearing, an elevated capacity for magic, yeah, and his skin being made of stone means that it's really hard to damage him.... but it also means that he's looked askance at by townspeople who occasionally think he's a monster or demon rather than an 18 year old, and he's heavy enough to be used as a ship's anchor (this, in fact, is canon).

Sunshine doesn't really have any minor physical difficulties apart from her vision. She sees in the dark. This doesn't just mean seeing well at night, but also seeing through shadows during the day. This throws her depth perception completely off, and can make her feel sick if she looks at something/someone whose shadows move particularly weirdly. The troublesome aspects are partially mitigated by the fact that her Dark Sight occasionally gives Sunshine visions, either insight into something on her mind, or insight into the nature of a person.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

I keep thinking either of my Ben's needs to meet Zelgadiss if for no other reason than shared pain.

YIS PLZ. :D:D:D:D

Claudia has a mild dust allergy that I haven't mentioned in a long time... but in a minor-annoyances way, that's her least favorite part of working in the Warehouse (you'd think no one ever cleans the place).

Cata's shoulder didn't quite regain full mobility after the injury she took to it. Sam, I'm sure, has similar annoyances.

Conflict Diamond wears through most types of fabric very, very quickly (a downside to the whole 'invulnerable' thing that no one ever mentions). Moist? Blissfully free of the biggest minor annoyance ever, thanks.

[ashen_key]

Medusa has wings and snakes for hair. I think those speak for themselves.

Trudy has minor hearing issues, thanks to military career and the amount of explosions, gunfire, and engines she's been around. Also thanks to repeatedly breaking her right shin, it always lets her know when the weather changes.

Kait...hmm, well, her curse does make life a bit hell, but on the awkward side, her sense of smell. Things can make her feel ill quite quickly, and too much perfume can give her a headache.

Esfir is tiny, 4'10. Of course this can get annoying.

Can't think of anything for the others.

[the_gene_genie]

Gene gets hangovers (no surprise there), and occasionally beaten up (sometimes by his DI). And shot, once. Other than that, he enjoys perfect health. Far better than anyone with his lifestyle deserves.

Ramon is a little long-sighted, and wears reading glasses. But only when he's not in the bar.

Harry has this thing with a scar. Idk what all that's about. >.>

Annnd Bruce suffers the annoying aches and pains that comes with being human, having no super powers, but being a badass mofo that spends his nights fighting crime. Oh, and all those beautiful women he's forced to be seen with to maintain his cover. Nightmare.

Well, with Evil Chicken, I suppose it is the loss of his freedom to teleport wherever he damn pleases. (Also known as "We don't like this NPC anymore, let's phase him out.")

Amascut has a crippling fear of cats, but I think she considers her inability to die a bigger disability.

[firenashesagain.livejournal.com]

Feather pluckers and hunters. There's nothing more irritating and aching than dying before your time and waking back up a chick again with nothing in place.

[fowl_beast]

...

Evil Chicken advises going on the offensive.

Phoenix really got the short end of the stick on that one. Coming back as a chick every time? Eugh.

[firenashesagain.livejournal.com]

It's the whole reborn thing, you know? If you're reborn as an adult, it's not really being reborn, now is it?

Ace: When she's playing by human-normal (ish), she is not one of God's graceful creatures. There's a great clip of her trying to climb a rope ladder in 'Curse of Fenric' that illustrates this beautifully. Poor kitten.

(In another episode, they fell off of a bridge. Into a stream. A shallow stream. Which the pair of them floundered in for an age. While people were shooting at them. Doctor #7 and Ace DESERVE EACH OTHER)

Balthazar I suspect of being long-sighted, thus a couple scenes (some cut) with reading glasses. But he's a vaguely vain creature, and tends to use magical cheats when he's not alone or otherwise occupied.

Right now? Laranth is physically pretty dang good. Wait around a few weeks (months, years, depending on how fast I get her through her canon or not). She, however, is crap at reading human body language. It makes no sense to her. (Crazy lekku-less monkeys)

Shaz gets blinding headaches sometimes. Not exactly something she can go complain about in the CID, is it? Go on, just imagine how that'd go.

I believe Lightman has some minor early arthritis as a result of some old (old, old) injuries. He didn't exactly play it safe when young. ... He doesn't exactly play it safe now.

Romana is slightly cranky about the height factor in her current body. She had this other one picked out that she rather liked, but the Doctor had turned an interesting color of pale when she'd shown up in it. Very disappointing.

Glor... is an elf. Um. He's not as light-footed as Legolas? *gives up*

'Bones' McCoy comes from an age where most physical infirmities are corrected very young, to the point McCoy has (or at least, will) give Jim Kirk a pair of 'antique, now-useless' glasses as a birthday gift. Happy Birthday, Jim. >.> Bones isn't as light-footed as Legolas either, btw.

Katya takes Balthazar's ocassional magical cheating and extends that to the nth value. What physical problems?
