OOC: Okay, that's a good plan for prom and graduation. And it's not really too adventurous, just this idea I had about Mike and Conrad running off against their dads' wishes and trying to do military and then figuring out it's actually an awful idea.
I am curious too, but I don't think I can make a decision on that until after I see the movie. Plus, Bruce won't be there at all, so who knows how he's going to react to everything. You've got interesting points about the siding. All of mine are probably going to stick to the side their parents are on, just because it's too much to keep track of who switches for me. Evelyn and Mike are pretty similar, and I feel like that's good and bad for them. It's good because they really care and I think Evelyn kind of understands Mike's pain/PTSD even though she hasn't seen what he's seen, and Mike kind of understands the issues with her humanity that Ev probably has seeing as she's a clone. I like that they can really get each other and be there for each other. But what I don't like is that there's not really much dynamic or spark between them. You know what I mean? They're so similar that they're predictable. I've noticed, I bet you have too, that we spend a LOT more time with Hope and Jay than Mike and Evelyn. And while part of that is probably because they're our faves, it's also because there's always something new and exciting with them. When we were doing Winter Soldier, it was an awesome time to be Mike and Evelyn, especially the backstory we made up, that was awesome. They're kind of boring right now though. Do you concur? To be honest, I've wondered about an Eli/Evelyn relationship as well. They would probably sass each other but care underneath, might be cute. All that being said, you're right how they're adorably old-fashioned and fairy-tale, in a slightly different way than Hope and Jay are. Hope and Jay have the soul mates thing going, but Evelyn and Mike are sort of sci-fi/action version of a Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty mashup. Actually, I think you're onto something. I mentioned earlier Mike and Conrad thing. Okay, so, picture this: Evelyn and Mike take a break, maybe not necessarily a breakup, but they want different things after high school so they're splitting ways for a while. Evelyn wants to see the world, have new experiences, live life to the fullest, etc, while Mike just wants to serve his country because he feels like he owes the USA/the world something. Conrad goes with him because he would follow Mike into Helheim. So, Evelyn's at whatever college she's going to, Mike and Conrad are at West Point. Evelyn's having fun but missing Mike, Mike has underestimated his issues just like a bunch of people predicted and so now he's torn between doing the duty he feels obligated to do even though he's not at all ready for it or getting out which means admitting his problems and giving up. Which is a problem because Rogers men just don't give up and people have always said that WW2 vets just didn't talk about the war or what they saw there, because of needing to be strong and not wanting to burden their loved ones or whatever it was. Finally, Conrad gets tired of his best friend's idiocy and calls up Evelyn, saying "Come fix your fool of a boyfriend because he's being stupid" and so Evelyn visits and knocks some sense and gets Mike and Conrad out and helps them get into college, and Mike starts attending school with Evelyn and Conrad goes either with Mike and Evelyn or to MIT with Eli or Harvard with Hope and Mike and Evelyn work back to being close and cute. What do you think? Aww, that's cute Olivia. So glad you finally found someone, I felt bad when you were struggling.
OOC: I did decide at one point, but it was a long time ago and I forgot! Sure, might as well send her to Harvard.
Yeah, I like seeing how much a character has grown and where they're going.
