The Day of Thunder

Thanks to everyone I got to play with this time around. Great threads, epic ending.

Were Norikage to continue (and I know he won't), what would be next for him?

Did Norikage play out how you expected? Any big surprises?

Norikage is one of those characters I'm sad I didn't interact more with.

Loved my fellow rogue thunder.

Zhe did tell you he had never met an unimportant scorpion!

Well, had an interesting proposal from a princess, and mission was accomplished, so I imagine a lot good things come in his future. He wants the clan to be accountable for it's deeds, pushing to have their methods used against those who deserve to be treated as such. He wants to avoid the villainy for villainy's sake you see from time to time.

yeah, he pretty much did. Though there were surprises, I didn't expect he'd be the Thunder going into it and I had a great string of surprises from Kumori and Yukara. A fun arc there.

Thanks! I missed a lot of good RP interaction this game as well, I think. Really...like, so much of this game I missed because of limited character interaction. I loved the story I experienced though.

And Zhe is one of the few Dragon that had the happy mix of eccentric and well-grounded. I"m glad to have met your expectations, and very pleased Zhe was fun to read.

Really appreciated Norikage. Glad with how we started and where we finished!

Thanks for the good times!

Was great having threads! You made it easy and fun to interact. Would be homies again.

FORM QUESTIONS INBOUND!

I wish we'd logged more interactions, but, hey, life is life

1. Biggest curveball Norikage threw you?
2. Biggest curveball the game threw you?
3. Favorite moment?
4. Biggest missed opportunity?
5. Any secrets Norikage has that never came up?

Why did he have to go and make Yukara discover the idea of romance?

Also was a lot of fun - didn't expect she'd be friendly with Norikage at first glance, but was very pleasantly surprised how well she could play the straight man for his sarcasm.

1. Having to straddle being a sarcastic, uncaring jackass who also wants people to succeed and feel better about themselves. Playing someone insensitive who doesn't know how to be sincere when apologizing is tough when you end up caring about other people somehow. You're actively looking for ways you can benefit from being considerate. Fortunately it worked out in the end.
2. Definitely the romance.
3. Honestly Sora just dropping pretense and telling him to pull the damn band aid off.
4. i think this is a pretty common answer, but not getting to RP with enough people. Not getting fully engrossed in the game and basically only dealing with my little corner. Usually i'm much more involved in plot like things.
5. I think he shared just about everything, just not with everyone. Though his kharmic tie with Kumori came with a tainty price, and i made use of both throughout the game, but didn't quite gain a full rank.

He's a careless flirt, what can I say? Honestly he was being massively insensitive and inconsiderate. Rude, informal, etc, etc. I really enjoyed our scenes, Yukara was a lot of fun and not just to tease. The one thing that relieved his conscience a little was what Sora told him. She's young, she'll grow. He knew this was a lesson she could learn. He felt bad about it, they made up, she was a gem.

I agree, she was a good, sincere straight man, yes.
