Pings for
Kota
and I’m sorry to both Pagan and Rags
Kota
ahahahaha kiryu. dude
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
The part that really tells you how okay with all this he is is that he’s just adding little personal messages on there like ‘oh this’ll be fine’
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
‘Neither of them will have issues with this!’
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Also I will point out that the icon I used is literally a scene where all the business owners in Kamurocho, people who he’s called friend, helped over the years, saved more than once are literally holding weapons and furniture
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
And begging him to let them kill him. Because they know they can’t beat him. But they’re being blackmailed
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
...by which I mean, this dumb is well practiced.
Mad Larkin
oh, Kiryu
Jay
LOL, such a different approach to Shen Wei having offered basically the same thing XD
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Jay
: yup! And this is why I find their breach brother-ness very funny
Jay
lol, yes
big ol metaphor
i've watched a lot of let's play footage but i'm still not sure. is there any implication that kiryu's fighting is supernatural
big ol metaphor
i don't get the feeling it is
big ol metaphor
i suppose my real question is how durable is he because if loki took him up on this it could go real bad real fast
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Oh it’s definitely supernatural
Jay
big ol metaphor
: lol, Loki should hit Shen Wei up sometime, he's still got a couple all calls for blowing off steam up, and he's pretty much completely indestructible
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
He can use his heat to deflect bullets and swords, heal himself, and a whole host of other nonsense
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
He doesn’t think he’s supernatural he’s also fought ghost pirates in a graveyard and just kinda went ‘that’s weird’
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
big ol metaphor
: he’s plenty durable
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
The world of RGG is magical realism. And it’s very ‘real’ because Majima can make shadow clones of himself that can 100% shank you. Ichiban can summon Daigo which can summon the ghosts of dead patriarchs. It’s low key but yeah, he’s (effectively) superhuman.
big ol metaphor
Yeah magical realism was my impression I just wasn't sure if it had any literal realness lolol.
big ol metaphor
Loki is on the edge of wanting to fuck things up. Pranks are helping but we'll see how the next event goes
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Yeah, it definitely does as many characters will actually reference that, like Komaki for lessons. Also he can actually use his heat/soul energy through a car ( as we’ve seen) to make it go faster or do things that are ridiculous
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
If Loki wants to take him up, go for it!
Jay
lol
law of surprise
bobo is absolutely gonna harass him tbh
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
law of surprise
: yay
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
He missed you bobo
law of surprise
mostly because alec was like "hey you need somebody to fight" and he was like "nah I already got a buddy for that"
law of surprise
and he owes him a brawl
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Yessss
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
He’s looking forward to that one
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
The other thing that I feel like is missed is... Kiryu is looking forward to making Friends and getting to know people through this
law of surprise
heee
law of surprise
also if you wanna assume breach!Bobo crashed on his couch and was generally mysterious and grumpy and like a stray alley cat but eventually Reluctantly Trusted Him By The End we can do that for cr purposes? since I absolutely dropped the ball on breach stuff :|
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
The whole first game Kiryu is getting attacked by one of his best friends to spend time together and get him back into fighting trim after the time in prison
law of surprise
awww??
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
law of surprise
: I would love to assume this
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
and yes, they're actually kinda lovely
law of surprise
yes good c:
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
I am excited!
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Boo👻Berry
Kiryu just told Rags to go to Lark if he gets killed; he might or might not mention this during their talk
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
but I assume Lark wouldn't mind?
Boo👻Berry
not at all! he likes people coming to him
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Kiryu considers Lark his main backup. He hasn't made a huge number of close warden friends yet
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
(fighting will make for friends too!) (so says his brain)
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
pharadyne
: I crack up that Kiryus first fightpointment is with Norton
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Another thing I realized which is hilarious is that Kiryu literally just needs food to heal from anything but the most major (cutscene) damage. You’d think it’s just a game mechanic but nope, another character, same universe, actually needs medical treatment after weapon or bullet attacks hit him. Kiryu? A beef bowl. /facepalm
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Kota
: he just asked Lark to hold onto his warden item if he dies so no one can find Rags just in case
Kota
He is a good warden to that paranoid urchin
pharadyne
Norton: I haven't done something properly unwise in almost two months. I need to fix that.
pharadyne
He has no expectations of being able to beat Kiryu, and doesn't even particularly want to hit him for real.
pharadyne
(Which now makes me imagine both of them standing there waiting for the other one to make the first attack.)
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Kiryu will just talk to him or help him work some things out in that case like
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
He says “I offer a fight” but what he means is “I offer love and acceptance no matter how violent or nasty your emotions express themselves”
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
pharadyne
: and he worries about Norton.
Kota
Kiryu was so smart for many reasons not naming names about this to Pagan. And he should worry about Norton. 
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Kota
: oh he wasn't going to anyway but then first taker was Norton and he definitely wasnt
