I thought it would be best for everyone if I put one of these up.

If you have any issues about how I play Bourne, 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 Bourne did something or why he did so in the way he did, those are also encouraged.

I want to be the best player I can for all of you, after all!

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.

For some reference on my Bourne, should you feel the desire:

On the off chance you find it interesting or helpful, movie!Bourne (this guy) vs. book!Bourne

Note on DDD!canon: When I first picked up Bourne, I decided to take him from after Ultimatum. I had not expected anybody to show an interest in playing Marie. Someone did. To accommodate Marie, her first player thought to rewrite canon so that she hadn't actually died in Supremacy, but turned up farther downriver and thought Bourne was dead until they met again through the comm. So that's the DDD!canon. Eventually Marie's player left the game, and since I was npc-ing the character anyway I decided to pick her up myself and hold her until someone better came along to play her. So, the current Marie (bitofagypsy) is adoptable. Please, someone, take the poor woman in.

And, random, but have an fst, if you want.

Current Mood: busy

Note on names: I'm going to be writing from various points in, after, and possibly before canon. Because of the nature of this character, that means the name used will change. From the beginning of Identity until after he's visited the Gemeinschaft Bank in Zurich, he won't even have a name. After that point until towards the end of Ultimatum, he'll be using his best guess, Jason Bourne. Once he's found out his real name, he'll be David Webb (and develop quite a distaste for "Jason Bourne"). Should I cover anything before or during his "training" with the CIA, he will also be David Webb. In the unlikely event there's a drabble set in his assassin days, he'll be Jason Bourne.

( Cut for implied murder and somewhat more explicit torture. )

[ David's sitting near the door of his and Marie's apartment, idly going over a map of the city, wondering what to do. But just getting out in the first place is the most important thing. And he will, as soon as Corinthian arrives. ]


(( ...Apologies for the laziness. >.> And for the viewers at home, David and Cori are suffering from a personality alteration, courtesy of Eris. ))

[ And locked to the past-knowing group. You know who you are. ...Also, this is in response to Secrets, and Secrets is a hiatus-free zone, so this is totally not hiatus breaking. Really. ]


I knew it was only a matter of time. Someone was going to be able to find out eventually. Those...movies. Someone'd figure out how to use them.


It can't all be accurate. That helps.

Goddamn it...

Current Mood: frustrated

[ Another case of accidentally left open to the past-knowing people! Which at this point includes Cori #2, Phoenix, Edgeworth, Marie, and Pam. ]


Of all the things the community could do, this...this is probably the worst. At least the viruses wear off.

Corinthian...the second?...the real one, I can't imagine what this must be like for him. I don't... It's too hard on him. No one should be put through that.


People are going to start associating him with...the other one. They're going to become suspicious. He doesn't deserve that! He didn't do anything, he's a completely different person! He's done some stupid things, sure, but he's still innocent of a lot. He's not...
He's not like me.


...This was a place he could come to where people could look at him and not see the other one. For that to be taken away from him...it's wrong.


Sometimes I hate this place.

Current Mood: pessimistic

[ Also, backdated to before Corinthian #1's appearance. ]

...What's notgettingrusty like?

Current Mood: worried

I said-

How could you-

You-

Why?


(( All strikes deleted. ))

Because I think about this man way too much.
I have a habit of using Bourne and David interchangeably when talking about this character. That is not the case in this essay. The different names are important here.

( And I would find myself and not an image. )

...Cut text is a Yeats quote.

[ Intended to be private, but accidentally left open to the past-knowing crew. Meaning Cori, Phoenix, Edgeworth, Marie. ]

My name is David Webb. I was born in Nixa, Missouri, on September 13th, 1970, to Michael and Ann Webb. I have no siblings.


I spent some time under the employ of the United States government, but have not been for some years.


I am not Jason Bourne. Jason Bourne does not exist.


(( Eris struck a nerve. Also, parents' names are completely made up. ))

The temperature around here this time of year is nice to run in. It's nice not to have to deal with snow while getting around, too.

But I kind of miss seeing snow around.

At least he's going to be fine. ...Dream may not be happy with him, but at least he's going to be fine. Perks of being a nightmare, I guess.

But dammit, I...

For a while I thought I was going to be too late. That...that I wouldn't be able to do anything.

He can't do things like this. It's too reckless. I don't think he will, but...

I don't know how well I'd handle that.

I'm not sure how well I'm handling this.


...It'll get better. I'm sure.

Thanks for the presents.
It means a lot.


Happy holidays.

Current Mood: grateful

Yup, I'm working on a Christmas present list too.
...The lists are getting pretty intense. I've inclued npcs in strikes. >.>

( Kyon, David, Door, Robert, Batou, Maka, Arashi, Marie, and Pam. )

If you think I'm missing anybody, please tell me!

Current Mood: tired

Because Cori-mun is brilliant.

( I thought about making a really lame joke here, but I decided not to. )

Current Mood: tired

[Locked to Marie, Corinthian, Phoenix, and Edgeworth (the past-aware crew)]

I need to be more careful on here.
Probably won't be around very much for a while.


The chances of this are so small, there's no way something like this should have happened. Christ...

Jean Valjean.

Really.


I'm going to have to get another job now. I missed too much work.


[Private]

Sometimes I think...I should go to them. Turn myself in. There might be trials, hearings, but...there would be a chance at something...solid.


There are still things I could do with that. A lot of things.
