aww yeah it's question meme time

[hackitude]

Time to bring back one of my old faves...

the QUESTION meme

Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:

1. POST a top-level with your character name

2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character

3. ANSWER the question you were asked

4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!

We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!

QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.

Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

what would shinji do if ken showed up in MoM, knowing characters who die don't stay dead?

also how is he doing generally on that 'i've been alive again for awhile and i have a job and boyfriend now' front? :0

BE EXTREMELY UNSURE.

Like it would really depend on where Ken was coming from, if that made sense. (I've been in a game where we had one pulled from.. the day before Shinjiro's death. :'| that was awks.) He would want for it to just be a non-issue. Like they can acknowledge one another and move on, etc etc, even if he knows that it likely wouldn't work like that- especially because Akihiko would likely want for them to be able to all work together.

But really? He just... wouldn't bring anything up first. Wouldn't seek out more contact than was necessary, and guage anything he did based on how Ken was doing. If the kid's calmed down and better, hey, maybe they can work through things. if he's still jaded and bitter and hateful, then alright, shinjiro won't make Ken have to put up with him.

So... largely it depends. He would just do what he could to keep things business as usual.

AS FOR THE REST HE'S DOING FAIRLY WELL? Like he still thinks he's shitty at the relationship thing and thinks he's likely doing it wrong but goddamnit he's trying that that's a lot for him. :T so. Basically, he's pretty settled! More worried about Aki due to the whole "btw your other bro is ded too lol" thing and how he's handling that.

basically shinji is domestic as fuk, lol.

KOTETSU: What about his own domestic front? Hows his job, friends, interpersonal relationships, et cetera? I've realized I know a lot about his feelings for his actual family back home, and some about the government, but less about his day-to-day!

[earnedmystripes]

Kotetsu works as a powers/self-defense tutor at the Xavier school now, and he enjoys that job wayyyyy more than his old shitty government PR one. He likes spending his day around kids and helping them with something that was one of his deepest struggles as a child himself, and while it's still ultimately always going to be second-fiddle priority-wise to heroing, it's not something he's doing solely for the money.

Interpersonal relationships tho, laughs......laughs......

The closest thing he had to a friend aside from Barnaby was Edgeworth, who is now dropped. Kotetsu is actually really really bad at making friends, ironically. He's very friendly, and he cares about everyone, but he's also not the sort who really puts himself out there. He's a very emotionally distant person, the sort that holds everyone at arm's length. rn, the person he's closest to aside from Barnaby is Jaime, and if he were an adult, Kotetsu might have something like a proper friendship with him, but...as it stands, he's a teenager, and Kotetsu is a huge dad type and considers himself as having a responsibility to protect kids from the bad things in life, so there's that imbalance in their relationship. Then there's Yuri, who he's slowly starting to build an awkward rapport with, but they've both got a shitton of walls and have never really interacted beyond a professional capacity before so it's pretty slow-going on that front. And things with Jesse are just awkward with a capital A.

Other than those people, most of his relationships are still at the casual acquaintance stage. It's very easy for him to talk to people, so he's the sort that will have a lot of acquaintances, but very very few actual friends.

Has Shinji started to think about his future here, or is he still more or less taking it a day at a time?

[hoboagogo]

Awww, papatetsu.... >:

HE HAS NOT, hahaha. I mean, sort of in an abstract way? But he just forsees it as being more of the same.

The only thing he has planned for and knows will be an eventuality is Akihiko leaving- 'cause bros got a fight back home to finish. (He thinks he's thought it through but lbr he would have no idea what to do if that DID happen-- And hasn't even considered the possibility that he could disappear himself, harrrr.) But past acknowledging "this place sucks at times and will continue thus" he's pretty much just coasting along.

Which is why even though he's attending high school because Akihiko was a shit and signed him up, and even though he'll finish it to make the guy shut up, he has no plans for college, or changing careers, or anything of the sort. He's complacent where he is and is hesitant to rock the boat because it's the best his life has been in years.

Even with all the imPort bullshit and the Cold War and the Summer Games, on the whole it's been better than slowly killing himself in a gutter and snarling and bristling at the people who car about him most in a desperate attempt to make them forget him so they won't care when he dies.

Shinjiro has really low standards for life, tbh.

Has Kotetsu ever considered owning a pet tiger? Rubbing its tummy, letting it frolick in a backyard pool, playing with a tetherball.... etc?
