FEELINGS ON AVANTE(S)!!!

[softlyfalling]

lov avante

CARDIGAN: Cardigan doesn't want to be The Leader but Shrike has sort of slotted them into "this is my commanding officer" anyway despite everyone's best intentions. Although—getting a little more confidence has helped to even that out, I think. She admires Cardigan's sense of conviction, even if Shrike is often having a panic attack during avante meetings because of her intensely-tuned reading-the-air sensors, conversationally

GOLD: He's a good kid, who really doesn't deserve any of this, and deserves to have a nice time with his nice boyfriend. He was very helpful when she woke up in the dorm, and she's never forgotten that. She wants to find a way to help him be less stressed out, or something? Let Gold Have A Nice Day 2k19

NEMESIS: Nemesis is sort of a stubborn person, but Shrike values that in a certain sense, because she's not good at having opinions, so she looks to people who feel strongly about things to decide what to do. She also looked out for Shrike an amount, when they were first starting out, and managed to actually bring an amount of levity to her first few weeks. She just wishes she and Cardigan could find a way to get along, because it's very stressful

SHISHIOU: She has no idea what his deal is apart from the fact that he seems to be some kind of music genius who is like 99% space cadet and 1% sudden incisive laser focus, and also that he seems kind of like he could use some help on some level? She's glad he's taken to the newbies and gotten a bit of a cohort, though.

GRIFFIN: Stan Griffin for life. This has been a wild ride considering their first interaction was him busting out of his room and threatening to bash her face in, but it turns out that he's actually very sweet and wants to feel needed and necessary, which is something that she finds deeply relatable.

HARPY: Shrike finds her likable but also finds interacting directly with her uncomfortably like trying to talk to a slightly-distorted funhouse mirror version of herself, since they both tend to try and fit themselves to other people's needs. She does have a certain admiration for how straightforward Harpy is, and how willing she is to just forge ahead on things she's decided to do.

NITRO: It's been like two days but he's also asking all the uncomfortable questions about what he should think and how he should go about things (stop asking shrike what your opinions should be, she has no idea!! please let her know when you find out), but also he seems to be able to roll with the rowdy youths and seems like he's following Griffin's lead on wanting to be cohesive and taking care of each other, which is kind of unexpected but nice...

TL;DR she'd die for avante and anyone on it whenever or wherever
