QUESTION MEME

Ask me a question about rp stuff and I'll answer, then give you a question to answer in kind!

I play just Itsuki Shu/Kuzuebiko right now! Tho I also mod imeeji and play the NPC Exael, but I reserve the right to plead the fifth there.

How does Mr. Tailor like his team aesthetic?

G..........ood....................?

I mean, no one's been stabbed yet, physically or emotionally. (unsure)

At the moment it's some extremely weird game of performative siblinghood chicken that will do absolutely nothing to stop any developing enmity between AZRAEL and avante, and may possibly even intensify it because *gestures at Red Wada*. Right now it's in a relatively safe(???) status quo but I have no idea where it's going. I would say it will end in tears but neither of them know how to not smile. I'm quite sure it will end in blood. Probably literal AND metaphorical.

Memories you're looking forward to giving Shu?

Hmmm. Right now he's just kind of going with the flow without any particular goals. If he manages to rack up a ton in a short time he'll spring for a skill, otherwise he'll just nab a memory when he feels like getting a new one. He spends on small treats as and when he feels like it and doesn't put particular effort into saving (or earning).

Right now he does have the skills he really wanted so that's a bit more backburner-y. On the other hand, he has yet to remember anything that makes him really hungry for more memories, so. Shrug!

What about Shu? Is there anything that he's really keen to save up for atm?
knightceties: (oh you)

Probably the starting avantes, especially Gold and Nemesis. Gold is his soft volleyball son and Nemesis is his soft prickly daughter.

Cardigan also gets a boost??? But they haven't done much (on-screen) casual hangouts the way Ace has with Gold and to a lesser extent Nemesis, so Cardigan doesn't get "favorite" status.

How's Shu feeling after the last game?

[personal profile] knightceties 2018-07-28 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Aww Shu.

Yeah, I would say he dislikes HSS the most. Mind you he also nothings basically everyone so being the Sole Disliked Team is not like. A ginormous difference in opinion. But mostly what it boils down to is that Hiryuu and Hurricane didn't make a great impression during the whole team visit thing. I did plurk about it here but to summarize:

He found Hurricane's assumption that avante was playing defensively insulting to the team and himself because it implied they were weak.

He felt like Hiryuu's explanation of why she was asking about their strategy to be judgmental of avante and to have implied that the team's "desirable outcome" of keeping Nemesis safe was not okay.

It's just two people but it's enough to generally sour his opinion I guess. Get better taste Hak. :/

He actually also doesn't like FiN very much but that's more contempt for that Round 2 twist in the game........ I'm sorry FiN, Ace is a Bad Man.

Things you'd like to do with Shu?

Persephone is kind of really bad at this 'friendship' thing, at either recognizing it or actually like, understanding friendship. He is also really slow to trust and like people: that being said, congrats, he does like Kuzuebiko in his own special way. Hooray??

That being said, Kuzuebiko's fixation on his beauty kind of frustrates him somewhat. Like it's flattering but it's frustrating, too, in ways he doesn't quite know how to define or describe but will kind of get more acute as he gets more memories back, especially of his first husband. Especially with the filtering of anything negative because it's almost like Kuzuebiko doesn't...see him, sometimes.

On the other hand, Persephone very much also has a type: he's still drawn to men with control issues and sometimes-inability-to-ask-permission-issues, which means Kuzuebiko is right up his alley. Kuzuebiko, however, listens to him way more than Hiroto ever did, which is like...wow, holy shit. Like even if he relentlessly filters out anything negative that could come out of Persephone's mouth or his negative actions, that's still way more listening and valuing his opinion than Hiroto ever did. (which between that + the fact that Kuzuebiko is not an authority figure, will likely not push Persephone's buttons too badly even once he has certain memories back. fortunately for him.).

(Persephone is like kind of confused occasionally by his priorities though. like with the memory he saw: Kuzuebiko noticed and commented on his hair color change instead of like, the dude creeping on him??)


...yeah this was a bunch of disjointed rambling but I hope it's...clear enough? Also for a question: if Kuzuebiko could design an outfit for Persephone, like entirely to his own tastes/had no restrictions on like materials or anything, what would he dress him up in?


(...also off-topic but I not only figured out wtf kind of Exalt Shu would probably be, I also have like a game idea I would never run because my group would end me in my sleep.)

That is a really cute design. I didn't think of short shorts when doing Persephone's original outfits because I love Atelier Pierrot so much so I gave him all the dresses I can't justify buying, but they're really cute.

...Shu and the character I'm apping this round might be...interesting.

I don't know how much you know about Exalted in general, but I realized that you could run a primary school game for Realm Dragon-Blooded with the loose premise of Enstars, just up the cutthroat competitiveness by a ton, make it more deadly, and add elemental powers. (note that "primary school" is like...elementary through high school, basically. secondary school is college, though a friend and I joked that the sorcery school was basically a graduate program with demons.) I would never run this though, because my group would end me in my sleep. which is a real concern, I go on vacation with three of them in like five days.

Given his obstinate personality, I would probably peg Shu as an Earth Aspect Dragon-Blooded: if I knew more about the canon, I would try to make a character sheet mockup. Earth because stubbornness and tenacity tend to be traits of theirs, if I knew more about him/canon-wise I would try to figure out which of the Realm Great Houses he'd belong to. But in short, rich, incredibly privileged, literally descended from dragons, has nifty ~elemental magic~. Even the manner in which he was outmanuvered is Very Realm Political Bullshit, just on a school scale (everything is like, political cutthroat for the Scarlet Dynasty, I love it).

Who does Shu dislike most in game, and why?
forgottenmercy: (that can never be forgiven)

I'm still settling out exactly what I want to do: like I can't really say that there's any trauma game I'm waiting on since I don't actually know any of the common ones. Some of the names for the games that keep getting tossed around like "dangerbear" and stuff mean absolutely nothing to me and I'm just like you know what, surprise me. I am kind of sorry that I'll be on hiatus and miss Betrayal, though I kind of look forward to having Persephone come back from lolita modeling and tea parties special to that outcome, 15 minutes late without Starbucks.

The only thing I have super planned for his arc is that he's kind of going to lose his shit permanently when I give him back the memory of his death/Exaltation and waking up with everyone fucking dead but I'm kind of feeling it out until then. More minor stuff I want to do is I totally want to do a fairytale-themed vid at some point.

I don't know if I'd ever run a game after stuff gets opened up to other runners, since the aforementioned I Don't Know What I'm Doing but if I did, I know what i would try to run. Like I'm already inflicting Pasion de las Pasiones on my gaming group, both online and in person, and I have no idea how the fuck I would convert it to an actual game, but if I did ever figure that out, I would be tempted to run it.

Reverse.

Really what's holding me back, I guess, is figuring out how to score it. But I'll probably think more about that once I actually run it for my group and see how well it actually runs.

...I didn't even think about that when I asked that question, lol. Never let me ask questions at like 3 am.

I really need to make a version of the "I've only had X for a day but if anything happened to them I'd kill everyone here and myself" meme for Persephone and sensitIV because that is, in a nutshell, about right. Persephone loves his unit very much and they are more precious to him than his life and he would totally fucking kill everyone here for them. Basically sensitIV has pretty much taken the place of Bride's ghosts in terms of "people he dotes on, cares for, and absolutely would murder and die for."

His favorite person in the unit is Loki: he doesn't like playing favorites, but there it is. But overall he loves everyone and his priority will always go towards them. Always.


What are Kuzuebiko's thoughts on his unit?
