“Ah...!” Having accidentally managed to stumble her way into what seemed to be a shop that made it’s living selling desserts of all different kinds, Azura is a little unsure as to whether or not she should leave or not. There she stands, like a fish out of water as she stands off to the side of the entrance, barefoot and eyes wide as saucers as she tries to assess just what she should do. Asking for help would probably be a good first step and so she extends her hand forward, hoping that any one of the employees may pay her any mind. “Excuse me...” It comes out as more of a whisper than an actual statement.
☎: Would you betray a friend for your own personal gain?
Wearing a grim, revolted frown, Sonic found no humor in that question. Temptation and self-indulgence, the idea that he would succumb to avarice…it all made him nauseous. If this, if that – these strict, hypothetical concepts were prohibited. Sonic didn’t think. Sonic didn’t ruminate, as an individual too simple-minded for such baleful regards. He could not lose himself to that despair. There was no time for that, and even if there was…
“I’m not that selfish,” He opposes, as if answering some underlying foible. Sonic defends himself as if somewhere, deep down, he believed in failure; deficiency he owned. “I won’t let anybody down! There’s no reason I can’t be trusted! Let me make one thing very clear…” Sharply, determinedly, the agitated male wields a harsh countenance. If only for a few moments, he seemed genuinely offended. “I’ve made stupid mistakes before, s’part of living! That doesn’t mean I’ve ever been disloyal!”
➞ ▎▎42 character development questions! ⇶ ( meme link | do i even tag spoilers anymore??? )
19. How do they behave within a group? What role(s) do they take? Does this differ if they know and trust the group, versus finding themselves in a group of strangers? Why?
It depends on what sort of people are in the group, but Yuuko tends to pick up either the leader or the devil’s advocate/realist of the group. They’ve already lead two rather large and infamous organization under two different identities: one as Yuugo, the Zaxon Leader (which was partly influenced by some mental manipulation from her guardian/step mom), and the other as themselves, the Kamishiro heir in regards to both their company and EDEN as a whole. Although they acknowledge all the assistance they have been given, they have a habit of thinking of them more as tools to get the job done than actual people – going so far as not to realize their closest ally for years was a friend until halfway into the game.
In regards to the protag and their group, they realize a more ‘charismatic’ leader is necessary along with their ‘special abilities.’ They can also see just how everyone is somewhat ‘pulled’ into the group by them, again their charisma, making them best suited for the role. However, seeing just who was in the group and how even the supposed retired ace hacker from the pre-digimon days acts from time to time, they find themselves slipping into the role which they find most suitable for the group—tossing in a few snide remarks and trying to ground everyone else to the reality of the situation—yet they do have plenty of difficulty seeing past some playful personas to see their true intentions especially when cornered, when there are any. This gullibility is something that they’re still trying to work on.
In short, they’re someone who holds themselves back in a group until they learn more about them and finds a place for themselves.
31. Is there anything that counts as a “dealbreaker” for them, positively or negatively? What makes things go smoothly, and what spoils an activity or ruins their day? Why?
Positive dealbreakers would be if they’ve got some obligations with family. Or in this world, something good happens that distracts them from former obligations. Negatively …. ah, well, pretty much anything that derails them from whatever the deal is. They’re not especially fond of crimes, preferring to play the role of the hero. However, if it would be for the greater good (or to get their own revenge) they wouldn’t mind crossing lines they normally wouldn’t make in order to get their perceived version of justice.
To make deals go smoothly, they would have something that Yuuko requires or deems as necessary otherwise they wouldn’t even turn their nose in their direction. The other thing is to have some sort decent relationship with the person who’s making the deal, whether or not their intentions are pure or not doesn’t matter as long as it appears legitimate to Yuuko or the benefits outweigh the consequences. They’re someone who freely cast away their own identity in order to do what they believed would protect their father’s legacy.
Things that ruin their day would be anything negatively impacting their brother and their father(’s legacy). There’s also any debt that they haven’t repaid. The former is due to their belief that the two are all they have. The latter is mainly due to their upbringing.
Her intuition when it comes to reading between the lines, so to speak, when someone is talking to her is very good. She can quickly piece two and two together usually even before the person has finished giving her the information to put together in the first place. Her intuition only gets better the more she knows someone.
chalcedony:the saddest my muse has ever been
The first few moments after her previous girlfriend was killed, back near the middle of the last Citta event. She felt helpless and empty and alone and like she lacked an integral part of her life. The only reason she never grieved properly is because she had no time to, considering... y’know, the giant monsters and drone swarms taking up most of her time.
