IT HAS BEEN EXACTLY ONE MONTH SINCE MY LAST QUESTION MEME!

And that is a perfectly fine amount of time don't judge me. When there are like four essays you could write were you not lazy it is clearly an appropriate moment.

I only play KK on Emerald right nowwww. ASK ME THINGS.

Ginshu is honestly still amazed that KK is willing to talk to her sometimes :'D UH. On the telepathy! Ginshu is this mess of contradictions where she just does not talk about these things, or so you think but then it turns out she's been telling you the entire time just not in so many words! And then she'll share her memories with someone she's known for all of an afternoon! …In canon, I'm not even talking Aather here. So she is actually really okay with her thoughts being read aside from the whole… "I am adding to KK's burden here, nobody wants my thoughts because they are horrible and depressing!" sort of thing. …Because they are. Her reasons for not talking aren't that she's inherently private or anything.

On leading up to telepathy! Ginshu was honestly confused by KK's reaction re: the Viridian thing. At that point they'd already talked it out, and she didn't know he'd told other people-- and as soon as she realized that, she was absolutely prepared for KK to hate her, and was totally okay with that because it means Viridian has an awesome friend and teammate. HE NEEDS THOSE. Those are good. And it will make things easier when she inevitably dies or breaks up with him for good! (…this probably will not happen, I should note.) But then KK expressed concern for her, and that was honestly really baffling for Ginshu. All of her memories are of this place where people have to choose sides. KK doesn't. How does that work?

Which ties into their conversation! Obviously, you are aware of what she was feeling, but KK pretty much got across the first right thing anyone's managed to Ginshu about suicide: it's okay that you feel this way, it's understandable, I know how it feels. Nobody has ever told her this before, and it makes her feel so much better about accidentally sharing it and about feeling that way in general. Granted, so much better is kind of relative, at this point, and she's probably going to stay at this point or meander downwards a bit as she gets more memories/her dying skill, but KK pretty much cemented herself as Someone Important.

Which is pretty impressive, because KK has always been pretty important to Ginshu; it's just that she's been seeing KK primarily as Emerald's Leader and filtering her through that lens. I think she's cleanly broken through that and become important to Ginshu as herself without Ginshu thinking about the connection to Asuka or Bonten, which basically just means Ginshu is going to worry more over her and try to give her space as necessary and offer to make meals as often as they are accepted and maybe try to sneak into the cabin to sew up jackets if Asuka doesn't like sewing. :Db

…And despite her immediate thought-- which really was just the kind of idle thought that she would never actually act on-- she would never, ever ask KK to do that. She never puts the burden of her suicides on anyone else, and, especially after their conversation, KK has to deal with way too much already.

(Also a sidenote, KK is the only woman Ginshu's flirted with-- not in a serious way, because Ginshu is never really serious, and I am fairly sure it didn't come across, but it is something to note because that comfort and admiration is something she's carried since then.)

TL;DR: Ginshu adores KK and I have many runon sentences.

EMERALDSPLOSION!!

[steampunked]

RIGHT

mostly she is just like SCREAM over the whole thing. In her heart of hearts she is not responsible, and this has pretty much forced more personal responsibility onto her than she can ever remember having ever. She is in general pretty okay with being seen to be Emerald's de facto leader/facilitator by others! She's not sure if the team see it that way or not, aside from Jade, but mostly she was pretty relaxed about it. And then suddenly EXPLOSIONS. And being some kind of leader is suddenly tricky.

For a while she tried to do the Cloud stuff by herself. She has officially quit that, and is trying to make it a full team responsibility, because she literally cannot keep an eye on him all of the time. She's still hoping she can fix him, but she's been off in cloud cuckoo land for pretty much an IC day, so she hasn't gotten to it. Asuka's problems meanwhile KK is a lot harder on, because she genuinely feels that Asuka makes a rod for her own back with these things.

But yes. She's very stressed. And then she became psychic again. So generally augh, but she is now distanced from the situation and will be assessing it more clearly. SO THAT IS ALL A THING.

How does Ginshu feel about the Emeraldsplosion?

[scalesfromeyes]

Ginshu feels partially responsible, but mainly the thing is… she doesn't know about Tsuzuki and that thing with Hisoka. She just knows that Cloud has a second personality-- which she associates with herself because she knows she's in the wrong body and the most recent memory she has of its owner is terrifying-- and that he attacked Jade for being new. She is incredibly worried for all of Emerald despite Viridian's reassurances, especially since they just got a new teammate, especially especially since she likes that new teammate. But she doesn't really have any skills that would be useful in this sort of situation.

So basically she is doing things like camping uselessly outside of Emerald and keeping an eye on things and hoping that nobody gets seriously hurt. :'D

What would have happened if KK had gotten her full package back at once (as far as she has it in canon at the moment)?

[steampunked]

Uh. It would either have been a lot healthier or she would have completely gone off the deep end. I am leaning, somewhat, toward the latter. That is a lot of brain changes we are talking about there.

How's Hermana doing?

[yourmama]

HERMANA IS DOIN' GOOD. I wrote an essay on her today but it sucks and needs cleaning. She likes everyone she's met so far, she has friends, she enjoys the teams, she worked through her first ACTUAL trauma game like someone who has coping skills instead of like someone who is Ginshu, I love her forever the end.

Uh. HOW IS KK SO AWESOME okay that's not an actual question. If KK were a Persona, what types of games would she run and how would she interact with heroes/knights?

[steampunked]

Probably creation games! Anything from the IKEA game to "you have to go to this place and find these items through EXCITING DANGERS and then place them together and create .......... a shower"! Though she would also run trust games and knowing each other games and she could have a wide variation. And she would be the most frank Persona going, but she also wouldn't stick around long.

Same question for Ginshu!

[yourmama]

She'd probably go for quiet strategy games like shougi, cooking games, and children's games. None of this trauma and death! She'd also hang out as a doll a lot to troll people. \8D/ BOO BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW DOLLS COULD MOVE ON THEIR OWN! …Yeah.

So KK liked being a normal person; is there anything she would do to get that back (discounting Cloud and Tsuzuki and assuming those loose ends are tied), and, if so, what?
