The Only Scorpion, Umeno's Q&A

[Bayushi Umeno]

[Jiyo Sora]

No real questions, just sorry we never really interacted again after day 1...

[Bayushi Umeno]

Sora was a busy man. There there. *pats*

Would but in less busy times. <3

[Shinjo Miuna]

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

[Jin]

So with only two real interactions how annoyed did she get with Jin?

[Bayushi Umeno]

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!

So with only two real interactions how annoyed did she get with Jin?

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.

[Nozomi]

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?

[Bayushi Umeno]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

[Nozomi]

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.

(The other Scorpion was Ikara in Dawn 1, who joined later.)

[Bayushi Umeno]

I was Yozora in Dawn 1.

[Jiyo Sora]

I was Yozora in Dawn 1.

What's she up to, anyway?

[Bayushi Umeno]

Hangin' out in Ki-Rin lands avoiding danger.

[Miyako]

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?

[Bayushi Umeno]

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!

[Hantei Kinsen]

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

[Bayushi Umeno]

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.
