Right now, Euphy has a rather simple impression of Vincent, though I guess that could change depending on if she saw the mauling. :') At any rate, she thinks Vincent is a very charming gentleman... And she has no reason to doubt his sincerity at the moment, though she gets the feeling that he, like Suzaku and Lelouch, is hiding something. But she can't say what the nature of that is yet.

She isn't sure what to think of C.C. Except that she's important to Lelouch in some way, and seems to care very much about his well being, which means she wants to talk to her more if she can.

Reverse?

Vincent thinks is very nice and innocent young girl who needs to be taken out on a date if only to piss Lelouch off. ♥

Uhh, C.C. doesn't have a very strong impression of Euphemia, because she wants to play hands off with the princess for the most part. She's not a completely disagreeable person like most of her type, though.

Why'd you app Euphy?

[euphanasia]

Well, I wanted someone dramatically different from the characters I was already playing. I also thought it would be fun to troll the crap out of Zazzle, and also make up for the atrocity that was the time I played Euphy for like a month back when R1 wasn't even finished. So, I guess because she was a nice princess, who can handle feelings.

So I see you sure did try to maul a Personae. What was going on in Vincent's through processes for that?

[dormancy]

Oh, is that . . . I am trying to recall when it first went down, but I thought it was you, then I thought it wasn't because someone said it was a new kid . . . I have no idea, but we got a massacre princess!

Alright, it looked a bit . . . Off the board for Vincent, I'm sure! He really does enjoy the company of many Persona while others are cursing them out for their behavior. Truly, he's had a crush on Three since his first game, uwah. /// So, I'm going to go long-form to explain this . . .

So, first off, the past heavily influenced Vincent in this case. If it weren’t for a number of events in the past that had happened, Vincent would never have lashed out at all. He remembers killing Elliot’s father for using his own son for the sake of his own ambitions. Elliot was ultimately a sacrifice to the culture that he was far too good for, and Vincent was furious for that. Logistically, killing Duke Nightray, revealing himself as the other half to the Head Hunter, and so on was not the wisest move! But Vincent is always easily overcome by his anger and rage at certain things. Rather, Vincent doesn’t allow any other emotion to move him whenever his feelings get in the way. He’s also had that disdain for noble culture buried in him since his . . . Well, second memory! Then, it was closely followed again in his third, so it wasn’t a new development; he simply pushed it down more often than not. So, yeah, having lived without and surviving in a completely different world from the opulence of the nobility as a child living on the streets, then recalling how easily nobles are pushed around and completely unworthy of the respect afforded to them . . . Vincent has never had good feelings toward them or their etiquette. ♥

Hilariously, in their second or so thread, Yuri accidentally stepped on that landmine where Vincent refused to admit that he was part of that culture. He was not the same as all of those nobles who rested on their laurels and left everyone to wrack and ruin. (Later on, Vincent realized he was just satisfying himself with believing something like that, so it never came up again.) When you talk about hating the upper class with Yuri, you always expect that to go over super well. So, they got along on that point, but it didn’t last . . .

Moving forward a bit, Yuri enjoyed himself at Mother’s first game, which Vincent turned his head from. Yes, the scene can be very captivating; yes, Vincent knows so very well how to operate in that circle. It is all very enchanting from afar, but some of the confidence that Vincent had in Yuri had withered away. Then, later on, Yuri decided to use his dance card from Mother for a date! . . . It was a bad choice on many, many different fronts. However, the one most relevant to the attack was that Mother abused Yuri to get him to dress the part of a noble and Yuri let her do it. It set Vincent on edge, especially when he had just gotten the memory of killing Duke Nightray and letting his rage at that culture loose. It’s one thing to casually enjoy the scene, but it’s another to let yourself be hurt and harmed in order to “fit in”. So, Vincent and Yuri had an unspoken agreement to refuse all of Mother’s games; they skipped out on two, I think? They would enter the ring, then they would walk right back out.

Now, we arrive at the game of destiny! Vincent slipped in, saw that Yuri wasn’t leaving, and played along with the game. He could tell that Mother was dabbling in his secrets, but what Personae hasn’t done that before? Truly, Mother’s games never bothered him; it’s always been her. So, the endgame came around, and she was not pleased. It was such a nice sight, because that means that someone, anyone, had told her to hit the road with trying to force her rules and expectations on them. See, the beauty of noble culture is that it doesn’t survive if everyone isn’t willing to play along with the game, and if no one submits and gives them power over another. Then, Vincent saw that Yuri’s wounds were torn open and it resonated poorly on two points: One, Vincent was still trying to get over the fact that he had done that, and he was not pleased to have it thrown bloodily back in his face then used for another’s ends. He has small obsession with marks and scars, so having a mark that he wanted gone getting ran over with someone else who should not be allowed to mark Yuri . . . It just didn’t sit well with him! Two, she broke the rules of the game. Resorting to violence to make someone submit to her useless nobility and standards is not what nobles do to get someone to play along; Mother had lost, and she violently refused to acknowledge that fact. So, when there’s a heinous and wretched beast wandering about, unable to acknowledge its own end that is drawing closer, what do you do with it? Haha, put it out of its misery, of course.

So, Vincent lashed out, because he despised what Mother stood for, that she wouldn’t admit she had lost, and because he refused to allow any part of noble culture to spread a foot further into Aather. It had no place there, and even he wasn’t going to sit back and calmly let it take root. Admittedly, Yuri called Vincent out that he wouldn’t have acted that way if it hadn’t been Yuri who was hurt, and he was right! When it’s someone who is as good and above the raff as Elliot or someone like Yuri who shouldn’t have been seduced to noble culture in the slightest who are the victims of it, Vincent does get even more bothered by it.

HOLY LABORIOUS WORDS, BATMAN. Okay, talk to me about how Euphy felt about everything that went down with Amethyst in that trauma game. Also, what are her plans moving forward with her team in the future?
