We Nailed It! [Kinsen’s Q&A]

[Hantei Kinsen]

First of all, my enormous thanks to Birb, Underbirb and Tyrus. You have been amazing. My equally giant thanks to the whole gang, too. You’re the joy of my day.

I get really stressed out — as I believe many of you do, too — and being able to zone out and play a character helps me keep my on real life commitments and goals safe from any unecessary frustration.

Which means, please, accept my apologies if any of it spilt in my text or behavior during the game. The intention is always to create a fun momento with every other player, and then, drama.

Shoot away your questions!

[Jiyo Sora]

So, aside from producing a passel of babies, what's next for Kinsen?

I wanted a bit moar drama in the end. So I took advantage of the hit on the head to activate the amnesia card and some cray-cray Kinsen kept at bay.

In the hands of the GMs for a period, now.

[Reo]

OK, I understand if this has to be a secret, but what the hell led to the threat against Reiko?

It seemed to come out of nowhere and a bunch of Spider players were shocked.

Not just Spider.

[Seppun Chisei]

Oh no, amnesia!?!?

I think Kinsen was the character that Chisei actually spent either the most or second most time with. Wasn't expecting it, but I think I like it! I really enjoyed how she'd changed from the first game.

Can you tell us a bit about those changes?

Tell us a bit about the marriage to Hantei?

Tell us a bit about some challenges she faced this game, and what she did with them?

[Hantei Kinsen]

I didn’t know the perception was shocking at all.

Reasoning was simple. She offered friendship twice, but Reiko kept “badmouthing” her husband. Nearly making his whole sacrifice as if invalid. She got offended, and made her statement.

[Seppun Chisei]

Yeah, it seemed pretty clear to me. Super gross, but clear!

[Reiko]

People see things in different ways. It seemed very extreme to me (and very out of nowhere reaction), but players can play as they believe makes sense to them. I have no hard feelings OOC for how Kinsen played their character

Up to the GMs, now.

I tried to get much of that into this game. Dawn 1 Kinsen was still fidling with being proper and learning things around. This game was much more, try to always do the correct thing until she... snapped.[/quote]

Tell us a bit about the marriage to Hantei?

Hantei gifted Kinsen an amazing scene of how I imagined she would be to her husband. Always trying to please him for her own guilty pleasure, perhaps?[/quote]

Tell us a bit about some challenges she faced this game, and what she did with them?

Four challenges:

- Don't snap: Failed
She didn't rip of her choker, though.

- Get Hantei alive: Success
Yay!

- Check her relationship level: Success?
OOC I assumed Hantei + Kenshiro was still a thing, so that's why Kinsen went full honest about Umeno.

- Kick some ass: Failed
Tyrus made an amazing combat combo with the witch ad her minions. We definitely would lose that battle if it went on.

Definitely different perceptions. To me Reiko was being very ungrateful and disrespectful. Specially after the whole scene where she blatantly offended Hantei in front of everyone by leaving.

[Bayushi Umeno]

Just so you know on the record, Umeno's going to keep writing Kinsen, even if it's starting fresh and keeping things honorable and proper. Kinsen'll always be Umeno's "tragic teenage crush" that she won't forget, even if it'll be all subtle, samurai expressions of such for the rest of her life. <3

[Hantei Kinsen]

<3<3<3

Kinsen won’t record Umeno-chan!

The drama T_T

[Togashi Saruko]

Oh gosh, Kinsen. Caused Saruko so many headaches this trip.

How did this trip affect Kinsen's view on the other Kami-spouses and the Kami's close companions (like the daimyo)? She seemed to meet a lot of them at least.

[Hantei Kinsen]

When she recovers from the memory loss — not sure when, but possibly the next game when someone accuses her of being a cannibal — she would remind that:

- Saruko: oneechan
- Nanzi: oniichan
- Phi: not yet family (very suspicious of her)
- Wu: the other Dragon daimyo
- Jin: the another Dragon daimyo
- Reiko: wanted to ruin the big family unit by sowing discord and lack of trust (since Kinsen promised, she won’t provoke if left unprovoked).

[Bakuriel]

Shinsei is curious about two things.

1) Why so suspicious of Phi/Nozomi?

2) What exactly was so dangerous about bandaging him? XP

*PTSD intensifies*

[Kyosei of the Isawa]

So, why grind down the jade and make it into nail polish? And why didn't the avatar change to show it?

What did she think of Kyosei, beyond a source for the Jade?

[Hantei Kinsen]

She's not married. Not yet approved.

2) What exactly was so dangerous about bandaging him? XP

Let's say Kinsen admires... ahm... willpower.


>_>

<_<

I forgot to do that. It would have been an awesome idea.

What did she think of Kyosei, beyond a source for the Jade?

A fine example of a caring father and samurai. Loyal to his family and dutiful. Quite a role model, in fact.
