Well, fair. we certainly don't have gills.

What is the LaDS standard reference for the Main Character anyways? my background in RP says "we" - we did this (me and my character), i chose that (me, making bad dialogue branch decisions), and her (my character staying true to her angst roots).  All the fanfiction on Ao3 is all second person for some reason.

I am very much wondering what the hell went down back in the day. I am assuming that whatever she forgot, it was because of the mysterious Chrono Event Thingie where she got blasted by something nebulous, got her new heart+1 (was that an injury that happened on the field? or a deliberate medical experiment while she was in the hospital for more mundane wound care? magic 8 ball is uncertain but it starts off like it just sort of happened to you (shards of something got embedded) but after the Zayne conversion over Grandma's box... hang on, I should strip this out and move this something else) so Rafe should hopefully just forgive us.

He's a liar? I don't know how to feel about that but imagine me sharpening my gaze and staring at the guy's instagram account a little more closely.  i fucking love me some liars, ESPECIALLY the ones that do it by telling you a truth you don't and can't understand quite yet.

I am still "stuck" on the having to level 6 cards to 40 woes, so I will probably be at the next chapter by the weekend methinks. eeeee. So excited, this storyline is getting so promising!

I will reply on the story part in its own topic.

Me myself and I?
How you refer to MC really changes based on how you're playing the game. Many many many players self-insert, which explains the huuuuuge amount of reader insert fics written in second person.
(a very endearing trend I see in fics is to write non-MC stories in 1st or 2nd POV, because then they can self-insert in peak angst plots where their love interest is actually soulmate with someone else - MC)
Personally I don't tend to self-insert, even when I'm in 1st POV, and that's how I see the game. MC is doing her thing, and I'm occasionally allowed to choose what she does/say (MC is quite wild, which is funny because she can totally break immersion for those who self-insert). It also helps that you, the player, will know way more than MC does about everything and anything.
So I might write "Xavier brings us" (we as MC) or "Zayne tells you" (you as MC) but in my head it's just an easy way to reference how the story is written and given to us. Outside of that, MC is MC and I don't have much to do with that.

Raf is an onion (required Shrek reference), and the outer layers are sass and lies. But those lies often mirror the truth.
What I incredibly like about him as a LI compared to the other LIs is that across the main chapters you might catch hints at the fact that he's not-so-silently pissed off at MC. Like, genuine mistrust and holding a grudge. But he still approaches her and gets into this sexually charged push&pull with her, which might just be making him even moodier. 
He's also hilarious imo, and he's still pretty much the only one who pulls surprised cackles out of me.
