THE TL;DR CR Meme

It's that time again and why not start it off with a heart warming and tragic foreshadowing gif?

1. Post with your characters - if you have more than one, make a catch all under one header.
2. respond to other people's characters with your characters.
3. They will tell you exactly what their character thinks of your character in depth! Icly or oocly! Make it long, this is teal deer territory after all.
4. React if you wish!
5. You can use this stuff for cr charts or you can even link to something you have written.
6. This is brought to you by irony from one of the more unfriendly characters in game.

Oh, Ken. Precious, precious Ken.

Kasumi's very first impression of Ken was that he's a sweet little boy who's got some pretty interesting roommates. Like, congrats Ken, you have Charlie and Bull as roommates. They never really got a proper introduction to each other, but I imagine it was her visiting Charlie and getting introduced in that way, and a lot of stolen glances and little smiles because Kasumi would think that Ken is just precious and well-adjusted (ha... haaaa...). And then came their first conversation, and Kasumi found herself pretty intrigued by how much it felt like she was having a conversation with another adult, but no, she was talking to a babby. Intrigued, and a little worried, especially after the Shadows stuff came up. She was also fascinated by his reaction to aliens and space, because it took a philosophical turn instead of Ken being just, "oh neat, outer space! aliens!" and that pretty much solidified her impression of him as a precocious child with an old soul, and that's when she starts forming a bit of a protective urge for him.

After that conversation, I imagine that she says hi to him around the house, actually stops to chat with him about how school and life are going and such whenever she's around Nonah 005, when before she would have maybe just waved quietly and then went to hang out with Charlie or Bull. And I don't know if I've mentioned it on Plurk or elsewhere at all, but I definitely imagine her helping him with homework sometimes. Just like, casually walk by as he's working on it and tries to help with a hard math question and then leaves, that kind of thing.

The thing is, though, given what she knows about his world, Kasumi realizes that Ken has had to grow up faster than maybe he should have, because he has responsibilities that few others have and, well, that makes her heart ache a little bit. She hopes that being here gives him more of a chance to experience things that people his age should--you know, like school, hanging out with friends, getting into trouble that doesn't involve lethal weapons... And that hope has only grown ever since he reached out to her after his episode with Crane. Her protective instinct has grown, too, although she's still aware that you can't coddle children and--she's not really the coddling type, anyway. But if there's any way that she can help him, she would gladly do so. That he trusted her enough to talk to her about such a thing really touches her, and while she's still sort of struggling with the fact that people have come to trust someone like her, for Kasumi it's a subconscious reminder that she's not all that terrible of a person and that she--you know, is a person, because sometimes it's easy to forget that when you're so zoned into being a shadowy enigma that no one is supposed to even be aware of. She really appreciates that from people like Ken and Charlie.

Moving forward, she hopes that she didn't freak him out too badly with her sudden affectionate self during Famine. Broadly speaking, the flowers brought out of her the desire to be close to people again, after living for so long isolating herself after Keiji died; being a part of Shepard's crew was a gentle reminder of what having personal relationships can be like, and then getting to this place and meeting people like Ken has only reminded her of that further, hence the flowers kicking that desire into zero chill zone. For Ken, that meant showing him just how much their friendship means to her, and that will probably be one of the only famine'd interactions she won't deeply regret.

But all in all, yes, please enjoy your time on the sibling squad, Ken-kun.
