Date: 2014-09-22 12:29 pm (UTC)Yusuke is pretty thoroughly annoyed by Alison whenever they run into each other, since he's never been big on bossy (wannabe) authority figures getting in his business. PUNK LIFE o9" But he's not going to actively seek her out to harass her, either! There have probably been a few times where he spotted her and changed course just to steer clear. She's a pain to deal with and he doesn't want her to take anything out on Brianna, so. SAFE FROM EGGING. But that doesn't mean he won't try to get a rise out of her when she corners him.
Alphonse is nnnot super great at being upfront about his problems, but he's slowly come to realize that he can't just pretend that the issues he's dealing with re: his body aren't relevant to his friends in camp. He's still not completely open with everyone in the same way, and there are still some things he hasn't brought up with Cosima (who knows the most out of anyone), but that's a big step. The problem is that while he's getting better about being okay with relying on other people and not just keeping with the Elric Brothers Status Quo (it's a burden the two of us must carry!! don't tell adults!! DEFINITELY don't tell friends and familiy!! PUT ON A STRONG FACE), on a practical level he knows no one in camp can really help him with what he's going through back home, so he's struggling a little with THEY'D WANT TO KNOW vs. THEY'D BE HAPPIER NOT KNOWING. Which is why he wasn't upfront with Alison about his fainting! He cares about her so, so much, which means he tends to lie by omission to keep her happy.
It also means he doesn't plan on bringing up the week she went off the rails and shot at him. It's a much bigger deal to Alison than it is to him--IT WAS SCARY and awful to watch and experience, but at the end of the day he's been through much worse and he can't actually get physically hurt, so he ended up a lot better off than anyone else. He still thinks about it a lot because 1) that's what you do at night when you can't sleep and 2) he feels really guilty about messing up and letting her get away twice, which meant that more people got hurt, BUT none of those things are Alison's fault and he'll never bring them up. Asking her directly about how she's handling the aftermath is also Off Limits so for now, like always, he's trying to keep an eye on her and just generally be there for her! She's his #1 clone loyalty and he doesn't care how much sewing that involves HE'S NOT ASHAMED
Reverse? Even just for Alphonse and Alison o/

Date: 2014-09-22 06:50 pm (UTC)If we're talking about not being upfront about problems, Alison is pretty ace at that too! ... of course hers is more of the "NO ONE CAN KNOW HOW SCREWED UP I AM, I NEED TO KEEP UP MY IMAGE" variety, but still! And that's especially important to her when it comes to the kids in Camp that she's been "looking out" for. She really wants to try and take care of them because a) she cares! and b) it helps her cope and feel like things are more "normal". And in some ways, she sort of feels like that's slipping away from her with Alphonse because the more time he spends around her, the more he gets to see how she's kind of a big ol' mess. And that is terrible because he is kind of her favourite, shhh. Which means axe-crazy was extra awful because she knows she's capable of being that crazy-person and Alphonse got to see some of the worst of it. She shot at him! And that is so horrific because she would never, ever wants to hurt him even the littlest bit :( And then there's all these things going on in his life that she is completely useless about because there's nothing she can do to help! So she's kind of actively repressing because she don't really know how else to deal with it right now and is trying to overcompensate for that with SOCCER and HALLOWEEN and CRAFTING and attempting to be AGGRESSIVELY NORMAL/UPBEAT/OVERBEARING!!! Because she still wants to be a Responsible Adult Figure for him and take care of him even though she... can't... really.

Date: 2014-09-23 12:52 am (UTC)Yusuke likes Annie! HE STILL THINKS IT'S BOGUS THAT SHE GETS TO MOVE THINGS AROUND but she's also still dead and he's not so it's more fist shaking at the system than anything else. She was honest with him and seems like she has a no-nonsense side to her, which he likes! She was easy to talk to and he's still curious about how ~ghost things~ work for her, so he'll keep casually bringing it up and see how far he can get. DEAD BROS

Date: 2014-09-23 01:02 am (UTC)Al is always pleasantly surprised when he thinks about how much Sarah has warmed up to him. Out of all the clones, his relationship with Sarah is the most based on him knowing other clones, and not really on anything they have in common, so he's come to terms with the fact that it always has the potential to be a tiny bit awkward. The most reliable source of conversation topic fodder is either Cosima's health (DEPRESSING) or Alison's fussiness (which he'll defend) so it's a little touch and go sometimes BUT he likes her a lot, and he's used to dealing with her kind of attitude (EDWARD ELRIC o9"), so there's not really any danger of her scaring him off or offending him at this point. He also thinks she's trying her best to be a good mom to Kira, which wins her THE MOST POINTS POSSIBLE in his book. :> BRAVE MAMA BEAR go go go
Yusuke thinks Brianna is an interesting kid! Even if Alison thinks he's trying to ~corrupt~ her he's really kind of doing the opposite in his chaotic tough love big brother kind of way. Think you wanna smoke because it's fun and cool? HAVE FUN HACKING UP A LUNG. Wanna drink? HOPE YOU GET A HANGOVER. Even if he wouldn't admit to feeling responsible for her (and they're not really that close yet), he's with the "welp better with me than on her own like a moron" school of supervising. Also he'd be totally game for her to try and punch him in the face IT WOULD BE GREAT TRAINING FOR HER C'MON BRIANNA LET'S DO IT. She's tiny and has potential and thinks he's cool so A+ hanging out buddy

Date: 2014-09-23 01:19 am (UTC)Yusuke is a moron who has trouble socializing with people his own age if they don't have a love of PUNCHING THINGS in common/aren't caught up in something he's dealing with and end up along for the ride. He's getting better BUT he's especially bad with girls and tends to flip between being kind of a dick and randomly being pretty okay and chill, and then flips back to being kind of a dick if anybody points that out. It doesn't help that he's a little baffled about why Jade would want to keep talking to him, since he spent most of his life being AGGRESSIVELY AVOIDED by people and it doesn't seem like she's getting anything out of it. He tends to bicker and overreact and say things that are the dumbest which causes more bickering and he totally thinks this is a normal way to interact with girls, whoops!! BUT at the same time, whatever weird petty and vinegar-filled friendship-ish thing he and Jade have going feels familiar and comfortable, which WHILE HE WOULD NEVER EVER ADMIT IT is kind of nice. He's slowly making more of a conscious effort to be a little more careful around her because 1) they're not super close and he doesn't want things to get weird, and 2) she seems less emotionally sturdy than the women he's used to dealing with and WHAT IF HE MAKES HER CRY jesus christ
Also she made him cookies, whaaat! He's half wondering if he should warn her that his buddy from home who just showed up is massively unfriendly and she shouldn't bother trying to talk to him, but eh it'll probably work out. He briefly considered telling her never to mention the cookies to Hiei but that would've given her BLACKMAIL AMMO so he's just going to hope Hiei is enough of a dick that if they ever do meet, he scares Jade off immediately. what a good friend
I'll get to Al and Cosima next but FOR NOW, reverse?

Date: 2014-09-28 12:59 am (UTC)Jade is super, super unsure about Yusuke and where exactly they stand and what exactly she'd quantify their relationship as. She'd say they were friends-ish? Jade at first threw him into the category of complete asshole with Ike, but Jade even puts up with Ike's nonsense, and Yusuke does have his moments of nice-ness, so IT IS ALL VERY CONFUSING. She's willing to give him a chance definitely and can see them possibly becoming friends if he can resist his asshole urges. Jade is weird, in that she gives people a lot of chances and despite her terrible attitude about a lot of things, she really does try to see the best in people (which is why in canon she's the only character yet to have a real conversation with Ike).
Jade's also been going through a lot and has lost a lot of important people lately and she's kind of withdrawn into herself and isn't putting herself out there as much. She's not actively looking for friends or connections at the moment, but the thing she has with Yusuke, whatever it is, is oddly familiar and she can roll with it. It's actually better than INSTANT FRIENDSHIP because Jade would be super wary about starting something like that, but if Yusuke is someone she can argue with and not get too attached to, she is totally down for that. (though, this is Jade and she'll probably end up getting attached. she'll probably also end up punching him at some point). The death stuff is also something Jade wants to learn more about, but she doesn't want to push it yet.
SO YEAH, Jade thinks Yusuke is all right when he's not trying to be an asshole and has possible friend potential, but she's also just happy to bicker with him and make sure he at least knows how to text people. I AM SUPER EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THEIR CR GOES!
DO AL AND COSIMA NOW!

Date: 2014-09-23 06:26 pm (UTC)Yusuke likes Sam just fine. His first impressions are "easy to mess with" and "chill dude," which balance out pretty nicely in terms of Dealing With Yusuke, who likes to poke at people he knows he'll get a rise out of. IT'S LESS FUN WHEN THEY'RE TOO NICE so Sam is mostly safe! He doesn't have anything in mind in terms of Sam "paying him back" for the vending machine stuff--he just likes to keep up appearances and pretend he's not a softie who does favors for strangers okay!! SO ALL IN ALL Sam is pretty safe from shenanigans, although Yusuke will definitely wave him down again sometime. Asian dude solidarity.

Date: 2014-09-24 04:28 pm (UTC)OKAY I think I talked at you about this once on gchat but Al really, really likes Eugene. He's used to being around a lot of older (military) guys over teenagers so the age difference is something he's comfortable with! It took him a little bit to get used to the level of informality BUT HE'S OKAY NOW. He probably only says "yes sir" or "no sir" on reflex when Eugene catches him by surprise doing something he's guilty about (see: getting warm milk for Marie at 4 in the morning). I think they're kind of at an unspoken agreement when it comes to Serious Stuff--Al feels like Eugene's always there to listen if he needs someone to talk to, but he doesn't feel pressured to like he does with Cosima and Alison sometimes. He hasn't told Eugene about a lot of the things Cosima's pushed him into talking about, but on the flip side he's also brought stuff up with Eugene that he doesn't really touch with anyone else (running into his dad again!) because he knows he can kind of just do a drive-by "this thing happened" and be allowed to drop it when he's said everything he wants to say. Eugene is less likely to fuss so he's a nice sounding board when it comes to mid-level personal topics that Al just needs to put into words. ALL IN ALL a nice, calm male adult role model!
When it comes to fussing on Al's end, he tries to keep it low-key, but he's still more involved than he would with any of the adults he knows back home. Part of that is the more casual relationship, but the fact that Eugene's missing a leg (like his big brother) is definitely a factor, too. I think he's been pretty good at not being too nosy or bossy, but he tries to keep an eye out for little things he can do to help out that other people who aren't used to being around an amputee might not immediately catch--making the extra handle so Eugene can open the window shutter, carrying things for him, minding his pace, etc etc etc little stuff like that!
Also he never, ever intends to bring up the Alison Kidnapping Incident with anyone. Eugene's bluff might have been terrible but if anyone asks Al about it, he doesn't know anything about anything. :|b
what else what else I FEEL LIKE I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING so feel free to ask more specific questions if you want! + reverse for both please i'm so greedy
