I actually see Jim as the sort of person who can't still long enough to spend a significant chunk of time talking on the network (it's too much like paperwork!). I prefer doing logs with him because body language is such a huge part of his personal charisma and he likes the face-to-face so he can read/gauge people a little more intimately than the consoles allow. But I can definitely try tagging around a bit more there!

(omg your poor phone, I pity having to load some of those threads on it shriek)

Also: spoilers henceforth, highlight for visibility!

It has affected him a great deal! It's possible I'm not conveying it properly, but Jim's actually been finding himself being overwhelmed with fear quite a bit lately and it's lead to him being markedly less reckless than usual, which is bothering him so much because he knows it's because of the fact he watched himself die and he doesn't know how to fix it. Being afraid for his life is a seriously novel concept for him. He's used to just falling back on his luck and natural skill to make it through anything by the seat of his pants, so those little moments where he has to stop and remind himself to breathe are really taking their toll on their psyche. Of course, it's actually making him more reckless in some respects, because every time he goes 'I'm afraid' to himself he turns around and pushes himself past his comfort level because he refuses to give into or tolerate that apprehension.


... so yes. I hope that helps justify/rationalize some of my choices! And thank you so much for the feedback ugh I love talking about stuff like this. /reaches!
