Miuna didn't form a tensing with Umeno, but she was so fun to follow! I love your writing style. What's next for Umeno? I'm heart broken over her and Kinsen btw haha

Next is securing the lands of the Scorpion and helping them grow. Thanks for the kind words and sorry the two missed meeting!Shinjo Miuna wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 11:58 amMiuna didn't form a tensing with Umeno, but she was so fun to follow!

Not at all? I mean, she's not generally the sort to get annoyed anyway, but Jin was down to earth and simple in a good way from what Umeno could tell. Almost sorta liked him even.

Re: The Only Scorpion, Umeno's Q&A
So, a couple questions.
One: Did she have a strong preference for women? She didn't wear her attractions on her sleeve, but I was curious at a certain point.
Two: Did you manage to find a direction for her in moving forward as far as her plotline is concerned? I know you were looking for direction with her throughout.
Three: What's it like to be the *only* scorpion, or one of two in two different games?
What was the most fun you had with her?

Re: The Only Scorpion, Umeno's Q&A
Umeno was at the beginning almost asexual. She had no preference because she didn't care. I don't think her awakened sexuality is really clear yet, but I think it's more a bisexuality. Kinsen's the only person she's been recognizably attracted to though, so we'll see.
As far as connections to plot lines from the expedition itself, not strongly. The best direction came from her seeing duty as more important than her personal emotions after the "Tragedy of Hantei's Bride", and she believes helping with Phi's request is helping the Scorpion.Two: Did you manage to find a direction for her in moving forward as far as her plotline is concerned? I know you were looking for direction with her throughout.
One of two? I suppose the only thing that I can say is it meant plot's tended to be squarely on me, for good or ill. There wasn't a large plot direction for Bayushi or the Scorpion first game, so it was really building from the ground up.Three: What's it like to be the *only* scorpion, or one of two in two different games?

As for most fun... I can't pick a favorite child! Nearly ever RP I had was wonderful.

Re: The Only Scorpion, Umeno's Q&A
Nothing wrong with loving all the RP's, and that all makes pretty good sense. I'll be interested to see where she goes if we see her next time around.

Re: The Only Scorpion, Umeno's Q&A
I got in and out of activity periods because of some crazy work schedules, otherwise I would have loved to have interacted with you more what with half my tribe-family part of your family now! I did enjoy the couple times we did run into one another though. Hopefully Scorpion get more attention and love and find a good spot for themselves in general - maybe I help with that some day, who knows?
Do you think you would have done anything particularly interesting plotting and scheming-wise if you did have another Scorp around? Or was the nature of the expedition one that would have likely limited that?

Re: The Only Scorpion, Umeno's Q&A
I'm not entirely sure. It would have depended a lot on the Scorpion in question. Even the goals I had in the end as is were built off the interactions with others. The possibilities were endless!

Is she planning to marry in the future. If positive: what’s her catch like?

Re: The Only Scorpion, Umeno's Q&A
Not directly planning, no. She likely will since I'm guessing Bayushi will want her to, but she'd likely marry out of practicality.
Perhaps a student of Kaiu to help her with her city and castle.
