Kytha | Yako Katsuragi | Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro | Witch

[personal profile] topslug 2019-06-01 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Kytha
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
Contact: Preferably Discord at mythicbeast#9659 or PM
Interests: Currently I'm pretty into FFXIV, Dishonored, the Craft Sequence. I like cosplay and J-fashion, but one thing I really wanna get into this year is sewing my own regency clothes...
Timezone: EDT
Introduction: Just an all-around nerd, rly. Don't have much else to say here!

In which I shamelessly copy/paste stuff from my last intro...
Character Name: Yako Katsuragi
Canon: Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Appearance: Just your average Japanese 19-year-old. In Aefenglom, with it's old-timier fashion, she tends to look https://images.plurk.com/Nvqejn8PnX1FUuxa24EU8.png">close to this minus the witch hat (for now).
Brief: An ex-high school girl detective and ex-demon partner, Yako's an adaptable character who's more likely to be responsive to what she perceives the people around her need or want than pursuing something for herself. She has a penchant for getting into other people's business and trying to get to know them, so I'd certainly like to see that continue here. She currently lives with Kaoru Hakaze, Rei Sakuma, and Princess Zelda. She has a terrifyingly large appetite for her size, and I'm sorry to say food is an integral part of her character, so that's going to come up a lot.
Seeking/Offering: As a Witch, and a helpful one, Yako's not hard to spot around the Coven, so she's happy to help anyone who looks like they might be particularly struggling with something. A brusque manner or cold shoulder doesn't easily put her off. Her focus on Coven magic is mostly basic spells for now, but she's learning slowly to specialize in enchanted cooking (think status effects, both good and bad). She's recently made a post on the network about some stuff she found related to the setting of the first TDM, now relevant to more of the setting, and she'll continue to snoop around that topic generally, so let me know if that's something you'd be interested in getting hooked into.

hi hi, i'm like 100% canon blind but from reading your write-up, i think these two could have interesting cr if we can somehow get them to interact! hua cheng likes people who are dedicated to helping others, he could tag along and keep her out of trouble while she explores because why not, it passes the time, and i guess he might make a good test subject for her cooking too if it came to that

...as long as she doesn't mind he's a little shady and vague at times because it comes with the 800-year-old demon package
topslug: (♫ i would swallow my pride)

[personal profile] topslug 2019-06-02 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Equally canonblind here, but shady and vague (or demonic) has never been a problem for Yako (well ... maybe a little) so it would be great to have them interact and just see how they hit it off!

Speaking of trouble, Yako will definitely be hitting up the "Following Rumors" quest, so that would be an easy way for them to meet, and she'll also be providing food/some medical assistance to people beyond the Bright Wall in the "Out of the City" quest. If either of these are quests that Hua Cheng would be interested in pursuing, that certainly provides a pretty easy way to meet up! With 'Following Rumors,' it's a little hard without seeing the exact log contents yet if I'm gonna toplevel or not, but I could certainly write up a custom starter for 'em or tag into yours depending on what ends up making the most sense. :|a

[personal profile] flowercity 2019-06-02 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
the "following rumors" quest was something i was also already interested in so that works out great! likewise i'll see more when it goes up, but if neither of us ends up top-leveling for it or the prompts don't work, i can hit you up so we can maybe plot something closed. c:

...that said, i can actually see the other quest working too because hua cheng can fight really well with his sword, they could get paired up by the witch who's in charge like if yako's providing relief she can have a guard against threats -- and hua cheng, being a fae and as such kind of vulnerable to the cwyld effects, would benefit from it too over going alone. i could go and sign him up if you'd like to thread that!

i'm up for either (or even both) so just let me know which situation you'd prefer, if any of this interests you.
topslug: (excuse me???)

[personal profile] topslug 2019-06-03 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
I like the idea of them getting paired up -- how about we plan on having them do the Out of the City quest together, and then we can decide if we wanna do another thread if any of the specific prompts on Following Rumors catches our eye and cross that thread bridge when it comes to it? :Oa

I can't remember if the Wilde quest would necessitate them being temporarily bonded if they were paired up -- that may need mod clarification, I think it's optional as long as Bonded pairs are supervising, so there can just be Coven witches in the background -- but if you're interested in including that aspect as well, I'd be down for it if that's a thing! Bedivere's question clarifies the sort of stuff Hua Cheng might be expected to deal with.

[personal profile] flowercity 2019-06-03 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
glad that suits you, because i really liked it the more i thought of it too! let's go with out of the city for now then, i'll make sure to register on it too. and thank you for the link btw, that's very handy info to have!

the quest that required bonds seems to be a different one in the high-risk section, ours is just like "wear gloves etc" and says there'll be supervision if the characters are newbies. so it sounds like we should be clear without it for this particular one! but if you'd like to say the supervising witch recommended it and thread that they get a temporary bond formed for their safety while outside, i'm actually cool with that. it's easy to assume in this situation and sounds like a good thread start tbh, haha

were you thinking of threading this on your catch-all or would you like to separate it somewhere? i'm 100% good with either option
topslug: (honey u got a big storm coming)

[personal profile] topslug 2019-06-03 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
i was thinking a temporary bond with a stranger might be an interesting way to kick off an interaction, so i'm down for it -- let's roll with that!

yes, i was thinking of probably just doing it in my catch-all (i do a lot of mobile tags so stuff just loads in easier on one page...) for simplicity. let me know if you'd like me to write the starter or if you'd rather do it yourself o7
flowercity: (002)

[personal profile] flowercity 2019-06-04 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
alrighty, then i'm good with it too! let's go with that :>

if you have an idea you'd like to run with, feel free to put it there and link me, but if not i don't mind whipping up a starter at all? just let me know if you want me to top-level it on the entry, or you'd rather post a comment for me to reply to. also you prefer prose, correct? asking because i'm mainly brackets but i'll match prose if you do!
topslug: (✧ burn burn like a wicker cabinet)

[personal profile] topslug 2019-06-04 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
if you can get the starter up, i'd much appreciate it! feel free to just toplevel right in the entry, and i'm happy to match brackets if that's your preference and i'll match o/

[personal profile] flowercity 2019-06-05 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
sure thing, i can go ahead and start it up for us then! might take me a couple of days as i catch up on my intro stuff and get settled in, but i'll just toss it on your catch-all when i do. i look forward to threading with you! ☆

NO WORRIES i totally understand how that goes. o/ take your time, and i'm lookin' forward to it too!

I'm gonna be that shocking person on here who read the fullness of and loved Neuro so. Hello! Witch buddies ahoy? Also cooking. The obvious. OBVIOUS. Cooking. Ignis is the chef extraordinaire of his crew.

Also fellow cosplayer AND J-fashion yay! I'm not quite ambitious enough for historical garments but some of my friends are heavy into historical techniques so. Yaaaassss.
topslug: (♫ the tick tock of the clock is painful)

[personal profile] topslug 2019-06-02 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
A surprising amount of people (aka. more than zero) in this game have recognized Yako, so I'm so glad ... Neuro is a great manga with regrettable art and questionable translation of the later chapters, god bless, but it manages to be so good in spite of that. Shockingly, someone's even taking a crack at a re-translation of it on Tumblr, and I'm refreshing for updates frantically every day.

I'm canon-blind to FFXV but I have absorbed enough information about Ignis to know this is going to either be a match made in heaven or hell. I'd love for them to interact somehow -- are you having him sign up for any quests this month? In addition to Coven stuff that would be an easy way to meet, or we could have them bump into each other in a class and she could help him figure out this Witch thing a little bit more.

AND HONESTLY I just collect patterns/fabric for historical clothing, it's a real problem. Q_Q

[personal profile] quickrecipeh 2019-06-02 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT is very surprising, considering I got into it quite accidentally years ago I didn't know anyone knew about it, but literally there was a Neuro cosplayer at the last con I went to so? We're not as rare as I thought I guess??? I'd love to see the new translations holy hecc.

YES I signed him up for some quests! Walking Armor, festival prep, some clothes repair, and Prompto signed him up for flirting lessons (end him and me)! Coven stuff is great, too. I have a witch-related prompt on the intro! LMK if you want a linky~

You're just a badass I accept this about you. The only historical stuff I remotely do is like... I have a thing for Taisho Era JP fashion.
topslug: (💧in a bit of a pickle)

[personal profile] topslug 2019-06-04 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
We're out there... watching ... hoping... :') The Tumblr blog is here and they've done some of the small side materials (check the masterlist) and if the quality of the final translations is on par with that I'll be really satisfied.

WRT threads, I see you've got a lot of Coven threads already, so let's mix it up with some quests! Hmm... while normally I'd say food prep is the obvious choice for them bumping into each other, I kind of think it'd be funny for them to either bump into each other at the clothes shop (Yako ruining her clothes through some magical mishap, probably) OR Yako having to deal with Ignis during the second part of the flirting class (the attendees will learn how to take the social skills to the next level and take to the streets to busk for money bit, unless he'd just actually eject his soul out of his body rather than try his newly-earned techniques on some rando).

I can see either leading to a pretty funny thread, so lmk which one you'd be more inclined towards -- I can put up a starter in my catch-all unless you'd rather tag in!

godspeed on sewing regency clothes... you are stronger than I...

Hi Kytha! I enjoyed their thread in the TDM and her easy analysis of Henry's character, haha. I like threading with her! Would you mind keeping it canon so that if he ever chances upon her again, he can remember her from that weird dream?
topslug: (♫ now i'm through with you)

[personal profile] topslug 2019-06-02 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
HAHA YEAH ... I'm actually canon-blind on Fire Emblem as a series, but everyone in Yako's canon tends to be a bit of a weirdo, so Henry seemed like a natural fit for someone she' take an interest in. I was pleasantly surprised a lot of things turned out to line up well and she got to flex some of that armchair psychology she tends to occasionally drop in canon fairly organically. I'd be more than happy to keep their TDM thread canon -- let me know if you'd like to call it a wrap as it is now to make it easier to jump into game things!

[personal profile] morbide 2019-06-03 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
She certainly did, and Henry has his fair share of weirdness and troubles! But cool. We can probably wrap it up pretty quickly here, I think! Thanks for getting back to me.

No problem! I like tying up threads when I can ... I find the longer it takes the more I find it tries to meander. o/ Would you mind if I added you on Discord to facilitate future plannin'? I'm at mythicbeast#9659.
