THIS MUSE HAS BEEN MOVED TO A MULTI. REPLIES WILL CARRY OVER.
my favourite guy
what's kenshi's biggest regret....
send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on
Kenshi doesn't allow himself much space to wallow in regret - his life and choices are very final, and every crossroad may be the difference between life or death. To continue as he does, a mostly solitary life spent in constant strife, he had to learn to be comfortable with accepting things as they are and that he can't take back what he's done.
Wishing otherwise is just prolonging his own suffering.
But there is one thing he does genuinely regret. His involvement with Suchin, and the fact that they had a child. It is not that he regrets Takeda in any way, but the circumstances he left the two of them in.
If he and Suchin had never met, never would she have caught the attention of the Red Dragon; if he'd left her earlier, or been more careful during their time together, maybe she could have gotten away, no child to protect over her own life...
Her death is entirely on his hands, as he sees it. He was made to be a wandering sword, and so he shall live life, allowing himself minimal attachments.
powerful prompts pt. 2
so i made a list of generic power prompts a while back, and i had a recent inspirational moment, so here we go again! many people sent in wonderful ideas for this, but they were so good and so full of potential for new memes that iβll revisit them later! as always, with the action memes, please addΒ βREVERSEβ to let the receiver know if you want the roles reversed!
ACTION PROMPTS.
[ GLOW ]: Β Β senderβs eyes begin to glow as a result of them preparing to use their powers.
[ BLEED ]: Β Β senderβs nose begins to bleed as a direct result of them using their powers.
[ RADIANT ]: Β Β preparing to use their powers, the senderβs skin begins to glow as they summon their power.
[ KILL ]: Β Β while in full view of the receiver, sender uses their powers to kill someone.

[ WARNING ]: Β Β as a warning shot to keep the receiver away from them, the sender releases a quick, brief blast of their powers.
[ GRIEF ]: Β Β having recently suffered a massive loss that causes huge feelings of grief, the sender releases a huge wave of their power.
[ RAGE ]: Β Β overcome with sheer anger, sender unleashes their power on a massive, uncontrollable scale in front of the receiver.
[ LOST ]: Β Β sender uses their powers to the point of losing control, unable to stop, forcing the receiver to try and intervene to limit the damage.
[ CALM ]:Β Β Β witnessing the receiver losing control of their powers, sender frantically calls to them to try and keep them calm and in control.
[ COLLATERAL ]: Β Β while using their powers in a reckless and possibly uncontrolled way, sender accidentally and severely wounds the receiver.
[ DEVASTATION ]:Β Β Β sender arrives on scene to find the receiver, having recently lost control of their abilities, surrounded by the consequences. ( i.e. telekinetics surrounded by broken objects, pyrokinetics surrounded by scorched buildings etc. )
[ CONSEQUENCE ]:Β Β Β having just unleashed a massive wave of their powers, sender regains consciousness to discover that the receiver has been fatally wounded as a direct result of their power.
DIALOGUE PROMPTS.
β you know, itβs really difficult to explain injuries to a doctor when those injuries are caused by literal magicβ¦ β
β iβ¦ iβve never been able to do that beforeβ¦ β
β no, no, uhβ¦ somethingβs wrong. itβsβ¦ my powers. my powers are gone. i canβt find them, theyβre notβ¦ theyβre not there anymore. β
β you have no idea what iβm capable of! β
β iβ¦ iβve hurt people, before. i didnβt mean to. but i did. i lost control, andβ¦ i canβt let that happen again. β
β you need to lie low for a while. using your powers the way youβve been using themβ¦ people are starting to take notice. β
β and why the hell should i be hiding, huh? why should i hide what i can do? itβs time the world knew, perhapsβ¦ that thereβs gods among them. β
β i know about what you can do. iβm not blind, you know. iβm also not an idiot. iβve known for a long time. β
β donβt give me that, okay? great power, great responsibilityβ¦ itβs a load of bullshit. i never asked for this power, okay? i didnβt want this. i have it, and thatβs not my fault. i just wanted a normal life! β
β youβve seen what i can do when i lose controlβ¦ i canβt let that happen again.Β β
β you have powers, too, right?Β β
β how long have you had them? howβ¦ how have you been able to control your powers so well that nobody knows you have them?Β β
β people always expect us to be the heroes, donβt they? i figure itβs wishful thinking. manifestation, right? keep hoping the people who can destroy the world with a snap of their fingers, might just be good enough to want to save it insteadβ¦Β β
β i heard that you have powers. andβ¦ i was hoping, maybe you could teach me how to use mine?Β β
β together, if we combine what we can doβ¦ we would be unstoppable.Β β
β people say theyβd give anything to do what we can do. until they can do it, that is. then, theyβd give even more to not be able to do it anymore.Β β
β what do you mean? whatβs wrong with your powers?Β β
β i love you. not your powers, not your fame. you.Β β
β weβ¦ we shouldnβt be together. not after tonight. those men wanted you dead because you know me; we were lucky that i was there to stop them. butβ¦ loving me, being with meβ¦ it puts a target on your back. and i wonβt always be around to protect you.Β β
β i donβt know how iβm able to do these things, so how the hell do you expect me to know how to control them?!Β β
β donβt start what you canβt finish, kid. iβve had my powers a lot longer than you have. it would be a very quick fight.Β β
β iβ¦ i hurt those people? oh myβ¦ i couldβve destroyed the whole city if you hadnβt stopped me!Β β
β how do i know that iβm in love with you for real? how do i know youβre not using your magic powers to make me think that i love you?Β β
β donβt say that. you canβt know that, okay?! how do you know iβm not casting a magic spell on you to make you pretend that you love me?Β β
β thatβs not all i can doβ¦ would you like me to show you more?Β β
Kenshi is a hard man to keep track of, no different from a stray tom cat, he is out the door the moment an opportunity presents itself, and there is no saying when's the next time he will be seen - or if there will be any sort of updates on his expedition.
Well, the next time is here, now, as he stumbles towards the other party - he's been getting into fights this entire time, probably without rest, and now needed some place to lick his wounds.
"I was hoping I could crash here for a couple days." He offers, not even gracing his company with a single hello, cutting straight to the chase. "I'll answer all your questions just... let me rest first."
I got out. I need my clan out, too. We can't be part of their crimes any longer.
β together, if we combine what we can doβ¦ we would be unstoppable.Β β
Kenshi had not been too privy to the dealings of Kuai Liang and his brother, although he has heard of the fall out and betrayal of Kuai's trust, the way Bi-Han's leadership of the Lin Kuei would no longer mean they'd serve Earthrealm's protection.
It bode ill of possible future encountersβ¦
Such as now. Kenshi's upbringing is no secret, but Bi-Han is a fool if he thinks the blind man is interested in reliving a life of cruel crime in search for riches. He has left that life behind him, and he seeks glory in other endeavors.
"I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm not looking for partnerships at the moment." Nor does the thought of becoming 'unstoppable' drive any interest - after what they've dealt with, he's seen what blind ambition does to a man. "Could I invite you to leave?"
kenshi pay your child support 2025
that time was different. this is worse! ( from takeda again lalalaaaa !!! )
"Stay true to the path, and it'll never steer you wrong." Kenshi's reply is not the answer to the situation at hand, but it was the first somewhat-positive sounding reassurance that came to mind. Besides, they have gotten this far, there was no way they could back out now, not without serious consequence.
"I'm certain Hanzo can understand that we'll have to prolong our expedition. Yes, I agreed to have you back by weekend, but he can understand how these things go."
Just as Hanzo understands that Kenshi has a terrible habit of digging a hole, then digging it some more, and suddenly two days turns into weeks into months that he's gone without a trace before showing up again without explanation like a stray cat you only see every so often.
"β¦ Although he did only agree to let you tag along under the pretense of you returning on time. Hm." Kenshi looks somewhere over he shoulder of his son. "Do you think he'll be mad?"
"Gee, thanks for clarifying." If the sarcasm were any thicker Johnny wouldn't have been able to speak at all. So first off it's a pain that Johnny's stuck in some guy's head again but of course he has to get stuck in a guy who gives too much of a damn about meaning's head. Awesome. "Guess that means I gotta keep an eye out for your honor so you don't go committing harakiri on me... get us both killed."
Being plugged into Kenshi's head means Johnny can sense what he can; mostly how all the attention is forcibly on him for better or for worse, with no other sight-senses or something resembling sight-senses able to go anywhere else. Johnny is pretty good about making himself known to someone even and especially when they want to ignore or avoid his presence, but having that mindspace focused on him at all times because there's no other option... this is totally new to him. Johnny sits down, leaning against some upholstered dull pressure of space that he interprets as the top of a couch because he can't 'see' it because Kenshi can't see it.
"You don't feel it?" Johnny raises a hand like he's going to touch his temple. "Don't know how I got here since you don't have a spot to slot chips in your skull and all, but... I'm not a ghost." He crosses a leg overtop the other and lets out a low whistle when he realizes Kenshi truly has no idea who he is. "Johnny Silverhand really doesn't mean anything to you." It's almost refreshing but Johnny's pride can't help but wonder: Where the fuck am I?
"Thank you for your kindest consideration, but worry not, the only master I serve is myself. A ronin, technically, honor only has so much meaning to me."
Some would argue he's already dishonorable, between his general attitude, his child abandonment and selfish pursuits, and Kenshi rather likes being alive so he's not going to do anything about any of that⦠besides, you know, try to be a better person. Point in score, he's re-connected with his kid, that ought to mean something.
"I've heard that argument before, usually from those recently departed." Kenshi offers with slight amusement, even if the topic is somewhat depressing. "But I sense truth in your words⦠you certainly are more than a mere lost spirit, there is a weight to your presence."
Sento whispers guides him towards the edge of a table, arms crossed Kenshi leans back against it, seeing no immediate problem in entertaining this conversation - perhaps it could guide him towards the solution of this predicament.
"Does Takahashi Kenshi mean anything to you?" He counters. "I have no recollection of ever hearing your name, no. Your talk of chips, however, interests me. What do you mean by that?"
"How could you do this" with the help of the demon blade "this isn't you" well yeah it's me and the demon blade "I know you're a good person" yeah that wasn't in question "please come home" not if you're gonna be a dick to the demon blade "we need to destroy the demon blade" listen I don't come to family gatherings and say we Need To Destroy aunt cassie and she's genuinely evil, unlike the demon blade
"Oh, sweet. Another cybernetic ninja. There's like, at least a couple thousand of those guys trying to make a name for themself back where I'm from." Johnny adjusts his sunglasses on his head, looking Kenshi up and down, almost appraising. "Never thought I'd wind up in the head of one though. Hope you're better than all those dumbasses in Night City." β @heartinhands. johnny (but not that johnny)
It first comes to his awareness like the draft from a window left open; the feeling of someone just there, in the other room. To anyone else, perhaps the feeling would have given a certain pause, a slight discomfort, but Kenshi is a telepath, his mind's expanse goes beyond his mere physical form, and he lives a life haunted - in the literal sense.
Be it his own ancestors within Sento or lost souls he passes by on his travels, were he surprised by every supernatural event that passed by his mind's vision he'd get nothing done.
"Correction, cybernetic samurai. There is a distinction." The quip comes easy, appealingly non-threatening as the⦠spirit, so he'll put it, finally makes a full appearance. And it has to be a ghost or spirit of some sort, for Kenshi can see him clearly in his mind, capable to make the disconnect between what is in his head and what is in the physical world.
Helps being blind, not being able to see anything else besides the stranger now taking up residence in his mindspace.
"And I would wager I am better than any of said dumbasses, although it is hard to compare not having heard of Night City myself. Now: how can I help you?" Because for a ghost to so brazenly appear before him, it clearly would need something from him.

KENSHI
Kenshi in the Tarkatan Colony
looking for trouble, and if i cannot find it, i will create it.
troubled birds sentence starter
"I see the life of an actor is laced with strife and unrest, your soul put to the test with the unrelenting nature of a directionless drive seeking idle amusement to tide the passing of time." Kenshi makes sure to draw upon the tone of the stern dressing-downs he received in his youth, his empty gaze lingering somewhere off to the side of where Johnny actually was β but the character breaks, of course, to slide in his own snark: "Which is to say: you don't do much, do you?" This is said, of course, in jest.
He would inevitably have to stop sleeping on Johnny's couch and get back on his path, but even Kenshi had to admit there was some definite entertainment to be found in the movie star lifestyle, even if he was leaning on Johnny's fame for it.
"Really starting to rethink my life choices these days."
