I think it's best for everyone if I put one of these up.

If you have any issues about how I play Suzy, you are encouraged to raise them with me here. Of course, I very much welcome use of examples with your problem, so I can have a better idea of what to fix. If you have questions about why Suzy did something or why she did so in the way she did, those are also encouraged.

I want to be the best player I can for all of you, and I know I can improve.

Anonymous commenting is on. As for the IP address issue, in spite of playing two hackers, I have absolutely no idea of what to do with them, so you're quite safe.

If you feel the need to contact me privately, the best way is probably by e-mailing agreylady@gmail.com. You can also talk to me at my rl journal, elspeth_vimes, or look for the elusive Elspeth Vimes on AIM.

I forgot about this thing. 'Course, I always forget things. 'm glad I remembered this, at least. Prob'ly helped that this is new. Well, maybe not new, but 's defin'tly not old.

So I guess I'm back!
If 'back' is the word I should use.

This is what you do with this thing, ain't it?


(( Strike was spoken aloud. ))

I try to do this for most everyone, and I figure it's kind of important for Suzy...

Medical Info: Suzy seems to be just a girl in her early teens. Of course, it's not that simple. As a Piper's Child, she was brought to the House centuries ago, and some of it's worn off on her. She's somewhat stronger than someone of her size should be, heals very quickly from minor damage, and can withstand more damage than an ordinary mortal. She'll still need treatment for a major injury, but it will heal more quickly. However, unlike a true Denizen, she can't grow things back.
If she were taken out of the House for a significant period of time, I'm inclined to say that she would still prove immune to serious illness and would age a little slowly. But that's purely theoretical anyway.

Notes for the Psychics: Suzy was once Suzanna Dyer, and she was taken by the Piper from England very shortly before the Black Plague hit. Her memory is riddled with gaps from all the cleaning between the ears she's received. Though she seems to treat it pretty casually, nothing scares her more than the thought of being washed between the ears again. She's also secretly somewhat afraid of Dame Primus. Arthur is really the only person she can honestly call a friend at this point in her life.

What's okay to mention around her: ...Pretty much anything. Seriously. She's very open. She might not understand it at all...but she's kind of used to that.
Just be aware that any talk of messing with and especially removing memories is something of a trauma button. As is the Black Plague, now. She'll gain another sore point whenever I get to move her past Thursday.

Abilities: Suzy knows how to handle some weapons, notably swords and daggers. She's extremely agile, stronger than her body should allow, and minor blows won't really affect her. Also, she can fly when Dame Primus isn't holding her wings hostage. Or when she hasn't had to leave them behind for some reason. She's also very good at short-term planning and thinking on her feet, though she kind of fails longer term stuff.

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/slash? I'm going to have to say no to everything because I don't think the House would allow the first two and I don't see why the third would even come up.

Kissing/Hugging/Badtouch: Hugs are nice! She's not at all used to them, but they're very nice! Kissing will just cause major confusion. Badtouch means she's going to bite off your hand.
