OOC - Keeping track of things

This is just Jen keeping track of the evidence for when it all clicks in-game, but obviously it hasn't yet. Note: add table-formatting.

CAN WE SAY CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? HERE!

Current status: http://redrobinhood.livejournal.com/6279.html?thread=206215#t206215
* Note from the Hot Springs log, Smoke has fully acknowledged that he thinks Ghost is an attractive person, but had yet to push for any kind of a relationship beyond friendship before this thread
* Smoke realizes that Ghost is not quite as secure as he claims; posturing in public to give off the appearance of being experienced & together, but actually gets extremely frustrated when trying to make a point in the middle of a fast-paced debate such as when Clé and Smoke 'gang up on' him
* Ghost is open, but not experienced, and Smoke pushed the envelope just a little too much, going from teasing to outright embarrassing Ghost
* While he was miffed at not being allowed to be himself in public, Smoke didn't actually get mad until Ghost insulted himself by calling himself a big-mouthed asshole; Smoke berated him because he's already told Ghost he wasn't an asshole
* To clear the air, they decided to have a snowball fight, cue quicklog sub-thread
* Ghost confesses he gets mad when Clé gets the upper-hand in discussions purely because of her better writing/speaking skills
* Still feeling a little responsible, Smoke offers to let Ghost keep his journal for a few days and only get his info on what's going on in ES from Ghost during clean-up at the tavern every night
* They are now "best friends" - very important to Smoke because canonically he only has two (Hakkai - a very good friend - and Banri - a jerk) but Hakkai isn't around anymore and Bastet (his other "best friend" arguably) is taken
* Reference to 'Aurora is an asshole' and 'writing doesn't matter to me' is here - the previous time that Smoke got in trouble with Clé over the journals and embarrassed Ghost a little in the process

Dec 16 up to Dec 22: http://crownofsnow.livejournal.com/9876.html?thread=214420#t214420
* Discussions of gender, sexuality, attractiveness, and society's view on those things
* Comfortable use of ♥'s directed at Ghost for teasing purposes
* Bisexuality from both acknowledged
* Ghost acknowledging he thinks of himself as attractive; no self-image issues, whereas Smoke has some, but they're race-related, not attractiveness-related
* Smoke admits he knows he isn't human; Ghost replies that it doesn't matter and actually likes all the red

Dec 4 up to Dec 16: http://community.livejournal.com/edensphere_log/156367.html
* Physical crush/attraction acknowledged
* Emotional attachments put on hold due to Chosen's death, despite a hug [on the 10th]
* Clé's reply to Smoke [here]
