satisfiedsignerWhy am I doing this FOURTEEN FUCKING YEARS later? idk it sounded fun at the time.
Gonna see how many of these links can be the Dreamwidth copies instead of (or maybe along with) the Livejournal originals bc there are a lot of deleted accounts and missing comments over on LJ (including like. one of his main CR alksjsks)...
Also gonna see how much not-Kiryu-but-needed-for-context stuff I can include here...14 years is a long fucking time.......
also I lost all my notifs in the email i used for the majority of my time in game ahahahahaha...wish me luck!
also i'm gonna note that I uh pretty much had no idea what the heck i was doing with this guy for the first couple of months at least so a lot of my early threads/posts are messy and dumb. it is what it is. honestly C&C as a whole was still kind finding itself back then too, so...

We got more backstory, got some character development, and I got MUCH BETTER ICONS out of it. fun times all around. (Kiryu did not get that character development bc I didn't want to update him, but it did give me a much better idea of what to do with him.) lmaoooo i even made a spam post about it good for me

Copied from the old Death List (just in case):
Kiryu died around 5 pm on Monday,
June 2 to come back around the same time on June 3.He forgot this entire conversation, anything about Alastair's past from this day (and really, that they discussed it at all), and where he lives.
(OKAY SO IT TURNS OUT THE DATES HERE ARE WRONG AND IDEK HOW I MANAGED THAT GOOD JOB PAST ME. however, the day of the week is correct SO.
the correct dates are: killed June 1 around 5 pm, body dumped & found later on June 1, revived June 2.)

-He calls in help from the cops cast to case the crime scene.
-And then vows revenge on whoever is responsible.
perhaps not the most law-abiding thing to be doing there, Mr. Part of the Police Force. but the thought is appreciated. lol.)(Also, Cavil responded to this post, WITH VOICE, like a dumb dumb. THAT WILL BE IMPORTANT LATER.)

(I'm going to attribute my general lack of activity this month (compared to previous months anyway) to #1 school, and #2 trying to balance three characters. I'm absolutely terrible at balancing more than one character in a game, i don't know why i keep trying it, and i was even trying to have THREE. MADNESS.from what i remember, i did figure out pretty quick that THREE WAS FAR TOO MANY especially when one of them was a Chessmaster-type villain who was going to have five gazillion plots going on. and also. had basically zero pre-established CR (unlike Tom Riddle, who I did get to work later) but obviously, i couldn't figure that out without trying it. so.
NO. WAIT. I FUCKING TRIED TO HAVE FOUR??????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW PAST ME?? FOUR??? FOUR??????
WELL THAT DEFINITELY CRASHED AND BURNED WHAT THE FUCK. FOUR. FOUR!!!
HOW DID I EVEN APP A SECOND CHARACTER THIS MONTH I AM JUST. ALSJKSJLKSJS...

NO ONE WAS WAKING UP IN THE WAREHOUSE ANYMORE ALKSJSKJS no but seriously, if kiryu had been like. ...last time, i woke up in a hospital actually. WELL.

(apparently Cavil pointed the finger at Saitou and that's how that happened? idk i haven't seen him do that but obviously that's what everyone went with. so.

(ok i mentioned in the log with alastair that he was actually kind of upset and angry about the whole thing, he just didn't want to start yelling at Misty five minutes after her arrival lmao)
(ANYWAY. HE WAS SO HAPPY FOR HIS DARK SIGNER FRIEND TO SHOW UP. ONLY FOR HER TO NOT BE A DARK SIGNER ANYMORE. ALSKALKS IT'S OKAY MISTY HE WILL BE DARK SIGNER ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF YOU)

(except, sadly, there will be no kissing because kiryu isn't capable of not being that much of an idiot just yet. but they do make up. WHICH, YOU KNOW, IS GROWTH. IT'S PROGRESS.)
(actually i would just like to note that it was already progress that kiryu was just angrily ignoring him and not like. fighting with him or trying to hurt him etc etc. and that he was still willing to share the same living space. like. THIS IS PROGRESS. it's just that he was so deep down in a hole before that he still hasn't come up to ground level yet. BUT IT IS PROGRESS.)
(but also like. the fact that he was willing to sit there and talk it out also shows just how much he valued his friendship with alastair
and saitouand how much he really didn't want a repeat of the past and I JUST. REALLY LOVE THIS LOG. OKAY.)(frozen) February 2010 (congrats it's been a whole year~)

(because he is correct, if saitou had actually been arrested, Kiryu absolutely would have descended upon the police/jail like a demon from hell and made it very clear in a trying to murder everyone sort of way who actually killed cavil back in July.
and probably would have gotten himself killed again lmfao)(ANYWAY. USE HIM AS A THREAT IF YOU WANT BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TELL FUCKING MAZA ABOUT THE PYROKINESIS ALJSLKSKS)

(Soundwave)
(cries i had a big long headcanon thing here about them staying at soundwave's AND I LOST IT AKSJLKSSJSKS ANYWAY I GIUESS I WILL TYPE IT AGAIN BECAUSE I LOVE IT)
(it's really a shame we didn't log this because CAN YOU IMAGINE
kiryu shows up on soundwave's doorstep with a fucking police officer. one who has been on the force for-fucking-ever and has made no secret that his morals really don't align with decepticons.
soundwave is like. are you serious. this is the friend you want to hide. but in his soundwave sort of way. and kiryu is like it's fine i promise he won't do anything & we'll be gone really soon alksjs. and because soundwave likes him and already promised him a favor he's like. hn. alright.
and saitou is also there like. hey isn't this one of those evil alien robots who works with starscream what the fuck kiryu. and kiryu is like, it's fine he's my friend and also my boss at dancitron. and also no one would ever think to look for you here. and also if the cops show up, he'll turn them away (probably). and saitou is unhappy but these are decent points and he trusts kiryu so he reluctantly goes along with it.
and then kiryu secretly tells soundwave that saitou has super-hearing, as both a warning and a show of good faith (don't say anything incriminating while we're heeeere). and soundwave is like. sound is kind of my thing so it'll be fine, but thanks. in his soundwave sort of way.
and this would probably include kiryu explaining what the fuck exactly is going on here, like that he and cavil are murder rivals. to which soundwave is like. ah well that's a bit awkward. hn. but in his head because kiryu doesn't need to know that the top three decepticons are actually kind of allied with cavil right now lmaoooo.
and then ravage shows up ell-oh-ell and saitou wonders if he's ever had a worse day in his life lmao.
ANYWAY THERE WAS JUST SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR THIS TO BE SO AWKWARD AND YET KIND OF WORK OUT ANYWAY BC EVERYONE NEEDS IT TO WORK OUT AND ALKSJSK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO INTERESTING TO LOG IT HNNNNNGH)
(but it looks like soundwave was probably super busy on the sixth with other things anyway hahahaha oops)

⚠ AU-SWAP PLOT ⚠ (02/21-02/
(THERE ARE NO PLOT POSTS FOR THIS ALKSJLKSJS ZERO WHY YOU GOTTA DO THIS TO ME)
(anyway from what i remember, this was like the time-swap plot, except you got swapped out with an AU version of yourself. the key thing being that it had to be a canon AU. So like, for the Marvel folks, 616!Tony gets swapped out for idk 616 is the only number i know a different continuity's Tony. or, like with the botcast, G1!Soundwave got swapped with SG!Soundwave. etc. (also maybe you could also do time-swap too? idk THERE ARE NO PLOT POSTS I DON'T REMEMBER)
for those of us without canon AUs, we were kinda out of luck on this one, but on the other hand, it wouldn't be nearly as fun if everyone got swapped out, you know?
anyway, I didn't sign either of my guys up for this. Kiryu, bc he had no canon AU at the time (and idk what's up with him in the 5D's manga anyway), and Cliffjumper bc it was way more fun to have him interacting with the swaps going on in the botcast as someone who actually knew them already. at least, with SG!Soundwave & SG!Starscream.)

(02/28) SOUNDWAVE'S TOTALLY RADICAL PARTY LOG || LJ link
(unfortunately, i like. barely tagged this. with either of them. BUT AT LEAST I TRIED)
(anyway, i think we must have decided that Kiryu & Saitou were back in Hell Towers by this point, since Kiryu's going to that party with the other HT guys. BUT IT. YOU KNOW. MIGHT HAVE BEEN NICE TO LOG IT. OR HAVE SOMETHING MORE DEFINITIVE. OR SOMETHING IDK.)
ok i think part of the problem here was...we had this big like. oh no the cops are after saitou gotta go hide somewhere! thing. and then.....nothing? for, um, a while. during which i was really not sure wtf was going on with them and i probably felt like it might be. idk dangerous for kiryu to poke at the network much? but then it just...kind of...went on...and on...for uh THE REST OF FUCKING FEBRUARY I GUESS and like. i know there was some motivation issues going on in the background so i don't blame anyone but. it's kinda hard to throw your guy out there when you aren't even sure wtf is going on with them, you know? it also kind of just. sucks the motivation to do anything right out of you haha...and like. to be fair i definitely could have been more proactive about plotting out what was going on. or like, whether the cops were even still looking for them after OVER A WEEK. (i mean HE IS A PRIMARY WITNESS/ACCESSORY FOR FUCKS SAKE they really should have been keeping an eye out for him but i also could have prodded them about it and i didn't so) but i am extremely non-confrontational and shy by nature to the point of it being an extreme flaw, so. i'm not excusing it, but that would be why.
anyway, it's just a bit frustrating going through this and seeing posts i should have tagged, that should have been easy to tag (like the DM tourney announcement), but that i didn't tag bc i was probably a ball of stress and alksjsksj bc i DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY CHARACTER ALKSJKSS

(i'm not sure we actually finished it...
anyway, idk if i ever told Cap this...so for this duel, we flipped a coin and decided that alastair would win it. but we were also like. logging an actual duel, sort of. anyway, i have an actual physical deck for kiryu that i was trying to use on my end, just so i wouldn't have to um completely pull moves out of my ass. except, uh, i kept pulling cards that would very much make him not lose. ANYWAY WHAT I'M SAYING WAS THIS WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME AND IT WAS A DIFFICULTY ENTIRELY OF MY OWN MAKING AND I'M SORRY CAP THAT WE NEVER FINISHED THIS coughs. anywhoooo.)
(also i would just like to note that everyone was like OH SNAP re: Kaiba & Yuugi getting paired against fucking Blackwings and D-formers AND FOR GOOD REASON. but HANDLESS IS TOURNAMENT LEVEL TOO. now, idr if at the time it was super viable, and it was in no way on the same level as Blackwings of course. but if you build it right, Handless is scary. there's a reason i was struggling to actually lose with it lmao.

(also. i wanna say that i did draw it lol but again, it's kinda useless without a field spell and also i was supposed to lose soooo))
doo doo tournament round two~
(PS here's the log for round two (03/22))
also, uh, the death rules changed? at some point? in here? i don't. remember that but i also didn't ever have kiryu die again sooooo. i mean i guess i sort of remember that since i've labeled that one post "the old death list" but. aksjlsks
anyway, it's entirely possible that the mod who made the announcement was one who has since nuked all their posts (such as with various plot posts) so i'll just. make a note of it here i guess. i think maybe you had to throw it at the plotting post now and the mods would give you a random number of days (under five) to come back. also maybe didn't lose memories anymore? i genuinely don't remember idk.

(anyway, kiryu wasn't going to change his mind because of a friendship speech at this point anyway so. MUCH AS I WISH DUELING AND FRIENDSHIP SPEECHES WERE ACTUALLY THE SOLUTION. THAT IS NOT ACTUALLY WHAT CHANGED HIS MIND AT THE END OF HIS DUEL WITH YUUSEI. ALSO YOU CAN'T DUEL THE DARK SIGNERNESS OUT OF HIM IN THE CITY UNFORTUNATELY (FOR YOU).

and maybe it's silly to get worked up about fictional characters being dumb in an RP game from fourteen years ago (no maybe, it is), but this sort of attitude is plenty prevalent irl even now so. ANYWAY HERE'S YOUR PSA FOR THE DAY THAT ACTUALLY THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY BAD)

(i mean, one lasted 1 hour ICly and the other was 11 minutes ICly so...) but also there just. wasn't nearly as much activity on what posts did get made. in general.

VACATION THINGS. OH AND ALSO. THE VERY REAL CONCERT VERSAILLES THE J-METAL & V-KEI BAND HELD IN LIMA JUNE 11.)

(also i love how Alastair jumps on Bakura to be like DON'T TELL KIRYU IT'LL RUIN HIS MOOD like a) that's true but b) unfortunately for you he's got yuusei-spidey-senses or something HE'LL FIND IT WITHOUT YOU GUYS SORRY)

Cavil killing him & then him getting revived by the Porter is kind of the initial event that lead to him eventually wanting to visit Peru in the first place. it's very poetic that he's there a year later, on the anniversary of it <3 )

(ok as far as i can tell, part 1 either doesn't exist anymore or is locked so i can't see it. THIS KIND OF SUCKS OKAY because Part 1 explained wtf is going on here (& i think also had info on the alien races that now existed in the C&C universe? of which i remember the Skrulls & the Vashta Nerada (& possibly the Gou'ald from stargate but that might also be wishful thinking from my inner stargate nerd). (i thought part 3 also didn't exist, BUT IT DOES i will link it below). I'm sure all of this info exists elsewhere as well, since it was kind of a big change to the worldbuild, but. you know. still would be nice to have that post.)
(so. WTF IS GOING ON HERE? basically, we're getting a worldbuild reboot/reality is shifting so we can do some new things plot-wise. such as--adding new, fictional countries that can have disasters and shit without it stepping into roleplaying about real life disasters territory. getting some aliens that can do alien takeover plots and stuff. and idk other stuff mentioned in ^THIS^ plot post.)

(i'm really glad this post does still exist because this is the kind of thing i find really cool. and it also gives me SCP vibes lmao. there's an SCP about a country that doesn't exist. actually, probably more than one. anyway, since player characters will remember that none of these countries existed last Thursday, it, you know, gives me the vibes lmao.)

I WISH YUUSEI COULD HAVE DONE IT TOO CRIES AND SO DID KIRYU LMFAO. but honestly, even at this point, his anger at yuusei is more of a formality and he's kind of looking for an excuse to. like. put it aside and accept that friend label again. hence, the duel. which is also a formality tbh.)

➤ (02/12) Kiryu vs. Yuusei log || LJ link
(in which Kiryu has the brilliant idea to. cough. borrow a couple prototype d-wheels from kaibacorp, bc they can actually go out on the streets, AND YUUSEI GOES ALONG WITH IT. SO THEY'RE DUELING EACH OTHER ON STOLEN D-WHEELS. IT'S JUST LIKE HOME~)
(honestly i can't read this log without facepalming repeatedLY. YOU'RE ALL SUCH IDIOTS GOD. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. KIRYU MORE THAN THE OTHERS FOR HAVING THIS STUPID IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT ALASTAIR AND YUUSEI JUST FUCKING ENABLED IT WITH MINIMAL PUSHBACK SO THEY'RE IDIOTS TOO. LMAO.)
(anyway, we uh. never actually finished this (bc it's all dueling sob we really should have just handwaved the dueling I MEAN. I LIKE DUELING. WHICH IS WHY I KEPT BEING LIKE. YES LET'S LOG THE DUELING :DDDDD BUT DUELING LOGS NEVER GET FINISHED CRIES so we should've just handwaved it alksjsks ALTHOUGH if you handwave the dueling you can't have kiryu doing fun things with his powers lmao....OH RIGHT AND YUUSEI HAD LIKE. THE SAME POWERSET LMAOOOOO FUN TIMES WITH REAL CARD EFFECTS :D ), but at the end of this they got arrested (because duh) and had to go hang out in jail together. so between working together to "borrow" the d-wheels, getting arrested together, and the duel, this helped kiryu get over the majority of his issues with yuusei. honestly i'm kind of crying a bit reading some of this fuck.)
(ngl tho i kind of wish we had gotten that far bc hooooooooooo boy kiryu does not take to be arrested well and it would have been good to play that out. oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

(also i appreciate that like half the people in here WERE ON THEIR SIDE. OR AT LEAST, NOT ON KAIBA'S SIDE. BUT LIKE. DON'T BE. IT WAS STUPID)
(ALSO i think kiryu's goal at the end of his thread was to goad kaiba into dueling yuusei & dropping the charges if he lost. probably. bc that's. kind of how being arrested works in 5Ds lmfao. but kaiba didn't take the bait lol -- OKAY WELL some things cap and i wrote in spam around the 25th make me think that THIS MAY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN THE PLAN? or at least A plan that was floating around. LMAO. i don't think this actually happened tho.)
haruka made kiryu brownies for valentines (and some other people other stuff lol). thanks he will enjoy those when he gets out of jail lmao
(also, i don't remember exactly what we decided on re: how they got out. pretty sure someone posted bail (although kiryu definitely would have suggested they just. break out. lmao b4 cooler heads prevailed and convinced him otherwise) but i don't remember if we decided that they had enough money between them to do it, or if kiryu himself had enough stashed away (he says "I got him out" to sentinel later so), or if they leaned on shockwave or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ anyway they posted bail at some point in here so their stay in jail was quite short)

hahaha so this isn't really that important but. i just realized that by the time I dropped him (which is in another year ok we're not there yet), Kiryu had been an honorary Decepticon longer than he'd actually been with the Dark Signers. i don't think i realized that at the time, so i never had him realize like. oh i've been a Decepticon for over two years that's like. the same time as i was with Rudger. huh. BUT HE FUCKING WAS DAMN. DAMN. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SOME INTERESTING EXISTENTIAL SHIT. especially because he. uh. genuinely liked being a Decepticon better than being teamed up with Rudger soooooo....
(I'm counting "being a Dark Signer" and "being teamed up with Rudger" as kind of being two different things here, because Kiryu has always thought of himself as Dark Signer first, but he didn't care all that much about "the Dark Signers" as a team after a while. it was always his God who came first, and then Rudger. so he could kind just. tell Rudger to jump off a cliff and not feel like he was betraying his team or anything lmao.)
ANYWAY. IF I DO EVER END UP UH. PLAYING HIM ANYWHERE AFTER THIS WHOLE JOURNEY. I SHOULD MAYBE KEEP THIS IN MIND. AS A THING. HE COULD FIGURE OUT. AND BE LIKE. HUH. WELL HOW ABOUT THAT. ALL HAIL STARSCREAM. OR. YOU KNOW. SHOCKWAVE. ALL HAIL SHOCKWAVE LMAO.

(other things that happen in this log: Bruno gets his soul stolen and immediately goes Terminator on their asses. OOPS. (actually. okay. this was supposed to happen um. but. you know. ANYWAY))
(ALSO. ALSKJSKJS. KIRYU BEING THE ONE WHO'S LIKE. HESITATING TO HURT HIS FRIEND AND SHIT. EVEN THOUGH BRUNO'S ONLY BARELY A FRIEND RIGHT NOW. THIS IS THE GOOD SHIT. GROWTH)
(02/27) Alastair network || LJ link
(more of kiryu maybe kinda having second thoughts about this whole thing (i mean, he's not in here much. but where he is, he's not. happy about it. exactly.))
(ANYWAY i had some thoughts on why this particular rampage started bothering him, when he doesn't have a problem with going after like. Yuusei or Cavil or the Major or Security or NPC enemies etc.
Kiryu doesn't do random rampages. He doesn't like. hurt random innocent people just because they got in his way. He might say he would do that, but he...doesn't. actually. Like, probably the only time he did do that was to summon Ccapac Apu, which was both 1) still a clear and defined goal and 2) abstract enough that he could kind of not think about it. and also he was at his most angry and hateful and if he didn't do it, Ccapac would be pissed BUT ANYWAY.
When Kiryu goes out and hurts someone, he 1) has a specific goal or target and 2) goes after that specific goal or target. He goes after Yuusei, not Yuusei's friends. He goes after Cavil, not the random people he might have encountered while looking for Cavil. He goes after "Security", which does include multiple people, but it's still a definite concept. He didn't go attacking random Satellites, just members of Security (or, you know, people in other gangs). Even later in C&C, when he's under the influence of Black Mist, he doesn't go on a random dragon rampage. He targets the police specifically.
This...is not that. They have no clear and defined goal--the goal is "whoever hurt Bakura & the Major if we can find him" and they don't know who that is or where they might be. The people whose souls Alastair stole have nothing to do with even that nebulous goal; they just got in the way. This is just lashing out for the sake of being angry, and while Kiryu does do that, it's generally at the specific person he's angry at.
(this is also the thing kiryu felt ruka just never understood about him. yes, he's a dark signer, but he's not interested in causing random destruction. he wants to destroy ONE person (and also Security). if that person isn't here, then he's not going to do anything, because he has no reason to do anything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
anyway, kiryu also felt bad about bruno specifically, because he was starting to think of bruno as maybe a friend, and he didn't think they really needed to do the soul stealing thing to block him. he didn't really think they needed to do it to any of them.
but he also wasn't thinking straight enough (bc of bakura) to tell alastair to stop. nor did he realize that this is why it was botherin him a little. so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
(ALSO I APPRECIATE SHOCKWAVE TRYING TO BE A VOICE OF REASON UP IN HERE WHO ALSO WASN'T JUST ANGRY AT THEM BC THEY REALLY NEEDED THAT. SORRY IT DIDN'T WORK. ALSO KIRYU REALLY APPRECIATES YOU LOOKING OUT FOR HIM THANK YOU LEADER.)
(02/27) Kaiba vs. Alastair log || LJ link
(anyway, Kaiba put a stop to it. thanks Kaiba.)
(also i'm just going to put it out there that. yeah protags can stop him etc etc but. um. kiryu probably could have put a stop to this as well. in one way or another. if he had been five degrees more...."heroic" we'll say. either he wins & it's the same result as with kaiba. or he loses and alastair just. implodes bc he just sealed his most precious person. COULD'VE BEEN PRETTY HIDEOUS EITHER WAY. however, kiryu was not the kind of person who would step in and do that at this point. so. this sad scenario will just have to live in our hearts~)

(04/22) Shockwave to Decepticons network || LJ link
(yep, encrypted to ALL TWO OF THEM cries his team where did it go...)
(anyway, i'm just gonna note that kiryu would have suggested alastair to be a decepticon whether or not they were dating, it genuinely had nothing to do with that. frankly, Alastair was kind of already honorary-Decepticon-lite & in their orbit like. the entire time he'd been in the City & Kiryu knew that. so. i mean. he hacked the fucking Major on Starscream's behalf once, like, he was basically already halfway there lmao. see also, his power letting him understand Cybertronian. see also, the hacking stuff. see also, his grudge against the Major. perfect fit lmao.)
(HE ALSO WASN'T SURE ALASTAIR WOULD EVEN GO FOR IT ANYWAY i mean, dude had good reason to NOT want to sign up with robot war machines or follow a villain-sort of leader again. so.)
(I think the other person kiryu was thinking of in this thread was probably dark bakura BECAUSE I HONESTLY CANNOT think of anyone else in his tiny circle of CR who would have been even remotely plausible. like. literally the only other person who it could have been was probably-a-robot Bruno, but Bruno is a hero-type FOR SURE. kiryu could tell that from a mile away. so it's obviously not him.)
(anyway IMAGINE DARK BAKURA AS A DECEPTICON LMAO bc he wouldn't have gone for it i don't think but i find it hilarious to think about anyway.)
(but honestly, there really weren't a whole lot of suitable candidates in the game at this point anyway, whether the three of them knew them or not. so... :( boo hoo his team where did it go...)
➤ (04/26) Kiryu & Alastair log || LJ link
(also yeah like. as kiryu says in here, the Orichalcos power wasn't why he thought of asking Alastair. BUT uh. let's just say he would have been a lot more unsure about asking Alastair to join if he didn't have it at this point. LIKE LET'S BE REAL HERE, WITHOUT IT, ALASTAIR IS KIND OF...BREAKABLE. if you're going to go out and fight the fucking Major, it's good to have a power that might help keep you from dying easily lmao.)
(LIKE. SHOCKWAVE ALREADY GETS CONCERNED ABOUT KIRYU GETTING HURT IN THESE SITUATIONS. AND HE'S ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF. ALASTAIR HAVING THE ORICHALCOS POWER IS DEFINITELY A PLUS HERE.)

(HEY LOOK WHO'S BACK :D except he is posting anonymously so no one knows that~ :DDD )
(Sadly, I'm pretty sure this is the last time Kiryu & Cavil ever spoke. That said, I think this was a really great last conversation to have:
-Kiryu doesn't know it's Cavil, so he's not as guarded or hostile. It's probably the closest to a "what if they weren't murder rivals" sort of conversation they could have.
-Cavil does know it's Kiryu, so he does have that baggage on his side.
-also, the two year anniversary of their first uh meeting was just a couple weeks ago :)
-At the end of it, Kiryu tells this mysterious stranger (who actually hates him and wants him dead), that's he's living happily most of the time. (whether he was telling the truth about that or not i don't remember but. at this point i think he was, other than missing people)
-you know that phrase "living well is the best revenge"? yeah. YEAH.
sadly, kiryu did not know that he essentially got the last laugh here, so he didn't actually get any closure from this, but i still feel like this was ultimately a good conclusion to their bitter rivalry :) )
(06/20) Log with Bruno
(OH APPARENTLY WE BACKDATED THIS. UH. A BIT. for some reason i kept thinking this took place. actually when this was posted. IT IS NOT. IT WAS THE SAME DAY KIRYU MADE HIS POST.)

also here's the sign-up post for things
lmao at the joker uh also wanting to do the opposite of crowd control because of course
well. i can attribute some of my lack of activity this month to apping at another game. but definitely not all of it. also! to be fair! according to my email inbox i was RPing throughout the end of June and all through July (and actually, i did quite a bit in July & into Aug tbh). just not. at C&C aksjks cries.
ugh i'm crying the yuusei in that game and i had such an amazing thread full of yelling and kiryu forcing himself to be in denial and the aforementioned strangling and "i didn't save your life just for you to throw it away!" omg chefs kiss so good and IT ONLY EXISTS IN MY INBOX NOW I'M CREY
look, i really love the plot that was going on. i mean, it's taking me forever to get through this month because i keep stopping to read everything lmao. but it was kind of a hard plot to jump into, especially when you're feeling burnt out. :(

(09/15) RINZLER ARRIVAL!!! || LJ link
(HE GETS ALL CAPS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T FUCKING TAG HIM BECAUSE HE'S JUST THAT IMPORTANT!!!)
(s-sob i even asked the mun about forth-walling too....idr if i was just. too burnt-out to tag anything or if i ultimately decided kiryu would rage in the privacy of his own suddenly-much-more-empty apartment but. cries. i never did tag him. I'M SORRY RINZLER I LOVE YOU AND KIRYU LOVES YOU AND TBH THAT WAS JUST TOO WEIRD AND ANNOYING FOR HIM SOB.)
(ahahahaha bakura and alastair tagged it though.)
(anyway, for the record, KIRYU WAS FUCKING OBSESSED WITH TRON. he especially loved Tron: Legacy aka THE MOVIE RINZLER IS FROM. HE WAS OBSESSED. HE WENT TO SEE IT WITH FRIENDS & SHOCKWAVE WHEN IT CAME OUT, HE HAD ALL SORTS OF TOYS, HE HAD THE FIVE-DISK BOX SET (THANKS BAKURA). HE PROBABLY PLAYED MUSIC FROM THE SOUNDTRACK DURING SETS AT DANCITRON. IF THE GAME WAS OUT AT THAT POINT, HE FUCKING HAD THAT TOO. you know the star-struck reactions people had to like. Darth-fucking-Vader and James Bond? THAT IS KIRYU WITH FUCKING TRON. he knew very little about most of the franchises that passed through the City BUT HE KNEW TRON. HE COULD RECITE THAT FUCKING MOVIE BY HEART. IN ENGLISH.
AND I DID NOTHING WITH IT LMAO. o(TヘTo) )
(anyway, it's probably better (for Rinzler) that i didn't tag this, bc i can only imagine that kiryu's reaction would have been some combination of rage and general star-struckness, and also a healthy dose of wtf do i do my favorite fictional character is here and he's not fictional anymore. but he was. tbh kiryu kind of. did not like the idea that they might all be fictional characters and tried to avoid it when it popped up, so actually. pretending he didn't see his favorite fictional character suddenly. uh. right there. wasn't. wildly out of the realm of possibility.)
(............i really should have tagged him though. ALKSJSKSJS.)

(and also himself and yuusei in the kismesis one EXCEPT NEITHER OF THEM ACTUALLY WANTED THAT SO. YUUSEI IS ANOTHER MOIRAIL CANDIDATE INSTEAD LMAO.)
(no but. for real though. it's no surprise that kiryu just pirouetted off the fucking handle anytime saitou was no longer around (at least, for a little while), bc saitou was the one keeping him grounded. GESTURES AT THIS POST. THEY'RE FUCKING MOIRAILS.)

SAFE. YOU KNOW? also BB here kind of understood kiryu's woes about certain people constantly coming and going through the city like a revolving door coughyuuseicoughcrowcough bc his girlfriend kinda. did that a lot lmao.)
(09/24) Mother Squirrel network || LJ link
(I ALSO FEEL LIKE A I SHOULD HAVE TAGGED THIS GIVEN THAT KIRYU WAS IN A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER MAN. FUCK AT THIS POINT IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR LMAO.)
(however, i never played Kiryu as...caring? all that much about what other people thought about his bisexuality or that he was dating a man or any of that. like, we had three flavors of queer in the HT10 apartment: Bakura, who started out in the closet and was kind of nervous about being gay the whole time; Alastair, who was out and proud but kind of had a chip on his shoulder about it; and Kiryu, who just was and really didn't give a shit about what other people thought.
Like, he knew that plenty of people were uncomfortable with queerness and kissing his boyfriend in public might even be dangerous (see: the coming-home-from-Peru log, where he does actually show some awareness that the cabbie might not appreciate two guys kissing in the back seat), but his overall feelings about it were basically "why does it fucking matter".
Now, i'll admit, i tend to play most of my characters this way, and that directly reflects my own experiences with my own sexuality. but I also tend to play characters for whom i don't think this sort of attitude is unreasonable. don't forget, kiryu is from a "future" time (actually probably the 2020s tbh) and also an anime which focuses on the bonds of friendship conquering all and whatnot. i think it's totally reasonable that it would be more of a non-issue in 5Ds world.
It also helps that a good chunk of his major CR also didn't care, were also queer, or both. And also he's a DJ at a synthwave-themed nightclub. I mean. Lotta the folks frequenting Dancitron were probably queer i'm just saying.)
(anyway, Bakura responded to this--oh, and Himuro, who's wlw at least i guess? damn, their whole floor has just. always been super queer, even the girls. incredible.)

spam post re: employment
(i'm really glad i actually commented on this tbh bc apparently I KEPT ADDING STUFF TO WHAT KIRYU DID AT DANCITRON LMAO. tbh as current me has been going through this, i kept thinking it was a shame i didn't have kiryu get into bartending--BUT IT TURNS OUT I HAD SIMILAR THOUGHTS AT THE TIME LOL.
past me --> o/\o <-- current me
i think this is the only place i mention it (like, i'm pretty sure kiryu himself never mentions it in the uh like three threads he has between now & january cough), but i'm going to keep it. and i'm also going to say that it's not unreasonable for him to have added this to his skillset since he told Trowa what he does back in April. considering that was six months ago, and he could have easily been learning in the background since before that too. i mean, he's been working there for at least two years at this point; it's totally reasonable that he'd want to learn more than just DJing.
anyway, i'm glad i had this thought and wrote it down bc now I can say that he also knew the Dancitron-exclusive drinks Starscream came up with way back when, and he can carry that knowledge with him ;; )
(ETA -- so it turns out i also mentioned this in this character survey thing that I did in FEBRUARY 2011 (it's near the end), which, you might have noticed, is like six fucking months before this spam post and also before that one thread with Trowa. so yeah, this was a thing i had him doing in the background for quite some time. o/\o )
hahaha spotted my tom riddle account floating around. HE'S COMING. he did not help me make activity with kiryu, but at least i felt slightly less fail, actually tagging around with someone again lmao.
also, entirely unrelated, but i realized last night that uh guess what started airing in early 2011? THAT'S RIGHT! CARDFIGHT!! FUCKING VANGUARD!!!!! so uh you know what should have been SUPER popular with the former YGO fans in a universe where the YGO animes and mangas don't and can't exist anymore? yeah. SHOULD'VE REALIZED IT AT THE TIME TBH SORRY FUTURE CFV CAST.

(10/10) Tom Riddle is officially in the City :) i'm making a note of him specifically bc out of all my second characters, he lasted the longest; technically, he even outlasted Kiryu (although tbh i wasn't doing much with either of them at that time alksjks.)
random spam post that i'm saving mostly bc it looks like i was already thinking of transitioning Kiryu over to the "Shinigami" nickname at this point. i mean, tbf, his original "superhero name" was nonsense that i thought he might think was funny bc i couldn't think of anything else and i kind of always hated it.
despite using it for my 2020!Kiryu account lmao. so thank you 5Ds for giving me something else plausible, even though i didn't actually adopt it until i updated him :((10/12) Katurian network || LJ link

(yet another different Optimus...but they all sound the same except Animated so. we all know it's him. :) that said, kiryu wasn't very familiar with movie!Optimus so it's more that Shockwave & Vector are in here that would alert him that this guy sounds vaguely familiar for a reason lmao.)
random olesia ooc post oh my god??? how did i not know that dark bakura gave her the fucking millenium eye to replace the ripped out one???? holy shit??? ngl the dark bakukra & ruka friendship was amazing and i love it. but holy shit. also, new account and new icons bc ruka has been here three years and is missing an eye (trufax this is also one reason i had kiryu grow his hair out in peru, so i could switch to the slightly older looking CT icons. like, his aging wasn't nearly as dramatic as ruka's 11 to 14 lmao but i still wanted to show it somehow)

(10/18) (Snape letter about Tom i'm not going to bother with the LJ link bc this purely self-indulgent it has nothing to do with kiryu alksjks ANYWAY)
(SNAPE YOU FUCKER god he's so lucky he was useful bc GODDAMN IF THERE'S ONE THING THAT FRUSTRATED TOM TO NO END it was this insistence that he was ~only a fragment~ and ~lesser~ than his other self. like, okay. back home, where he was a horcrux, that may have been. partially true. i think he would argue that if his plan to become 'alive' through killing ginny had succeeded, that would not have been true. but still.
BUT IN THE CITY ALKSJKS HE'S FUCKING ALIVE. THE PORTER MADE HIM BE ALIVE HE'S A REAL BOY AND EVERYTHING. AND. ALSO. HE PROBABLY HAS A BIGGER CHUNK OF HIS SOUL THAN FUCKING ACTUAL VOLDEMORT AT THIS POINT. IF ANYONE IS ~LESSER~ ITS THAT IDIOT WHO GOT HIMSELF KILLED BY A ONE-YEAR-OLD.
like, he wasn't going to argue this too much with snape (or anyone else really), because he didn't want to seem like he cared too much about it, but. oh my god. he was so frustrated by this idea that he was ~just a horcrux~. and also. the implication that because he's ~just a fragment~ he's less important to protect than his other self. BITCH HE'S THE THING KEEPING HIS OTHER SELF FROM DYING YOU'D BETTER DIE TO PROTECT HIM.
for the record, this is one big reason why tom never fully trusted snape, despite it seeming like his other self had trusted snape enough to share all their secrets. because snape made it clear he thought less of tom bc he's a horcrux, and he never really fully saw tom as his own person, even though, in the City especially!, he was just as much Tom fucking Riddle as the living Tom Riddle.
but also, as long as they thought they couldn't just. you know. kill him like anyone else. they weren't going to try to do that. so. he wasn't going to expend too much effort in enlightening them. BUT THIS ATTITUDE STILL ANNOYED HIM SO MUCH.
YES. HE'S A HORCRUX. DO YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT HORCRUXES ARE SEVERUS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK YOU DO. AND ALSO. NOW HE'S A REAL BOY ANYWAY. YOU IDIOT.
~the horcrux echo~ oh shut up, there was nothing ~echoy~ about the diary horcrux you fucker. he's a piece of voldemort's soul, not a pensieve-bound strand of memories.
that's the thing that frustrated him about this attitude. he's not an echo or a ghost or memories or whatever. he is voldemort. that's the point. voldemort split himself into pieces and tom is one of them. they are all voldemort.)

spam post for ways you disagree with fandom re: your characters
i pretty much still agree with this. My headcanon re: the Dark Signer team dynamic was pretty much always mine and mine alone. i'll note that at the time, i think i generally had kiryu & demak getting along for loud character/calm character reasons; i.e. pretty much the same reason kiryu bonded with saitou & yuusei. but i've been thinking and i'm going to add that both of them being religious nuts was part of it too. from what i remember (not that i've watched demak's episodes in...a while) demak was like. devoted. like, super devoted to Cusillu & the cause. and i've always played kiryu as being extremely devoted to Ccapac & the EBGs in general. so they would like. get each other on a level that might help smooth out the rough edges of their clashing personalities. also misty, this would be a thing with misty too.
rudger, he just...really didn't like on a personal level lmao. but his feelings about rudger are also kind of uh complicated.

November 2011
Date: 2024-03-15 11:18 am (UTC)okay so i have been staring at my inbox, trying to figure out how on earth i managed to pass the Nov. activity check with one piece of activity (because i did! kiryu was not in the list!) AND I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT. I drove my dad to a hunting thing in Nebraska in Nov (and back obv.), and we were there for at least a week, and the internet there was fucking terrible. i remember, because i had apped Tom Riddle (actually from 1943 version) to another game that was just starting and almost immediately had to call a hiatus. and then i had to sit there with my crappy internet and watch as the new game kind of. died on arrival lmao. but there's no way i would have hiatused at the new game and not C&C as well.in fact, this comment i made in spam says i was on hiatus, so. i can't find the notif for it, but maybe they didn't reply to my comment on the hiatus post idk.
i didn't make an ooc post in C&C, looks like, but i did make one at the other game, which tells me this hiatus was from about 10/12-10/22. so. good chunk of the month sigh. and i was kind of focused on Tom during the first half of the month sigh. ANYWAY. MYSTERY SOLVED.
OH I HAD BRITT POST THE NOTICE well no fucking wonder i couldn't find it.

......actually, it might be easier to find a character to play from Ayreon's stuff now. there's been like. three or four more albums since then, with lots more characters. heck, the main character from The Theory of Everything might even have enough to him to actually write a decent app lmao.

spam post for the meaning of ur characters' names. this isn't the first one of these (there were at least two more than I can remember), but it's the first i'm saving, because i actually went and found the kanji for kiryu's name this time!
(i didn't realize i had done this, so last week while i was distracted by old PTDC threads & rewatching canon, i went "wait, i bet i could find his name in the end credits list and look it up now". bc i have spent some time learning to read japanese since this post. silly me, i could have just looked at the wikia probably, BUT I HAVE IT EITHER WAY HAHA.)
so let me elaborate on what past!me did not know and did not know where to find it either. because i do now! :)
鬼柳京介 - Kiryu Kyosuke
鬼 (On: キ/ki) - ghost, devil; the kun reading for this is "おに/oni" which is probably more familiar; it shows up in like. every word for demons and ghosts and supernatural beings ever. fitting, that it would be in a Dark Signer's name, and one who looks like a ghost at that!
柳 (On: リュウ/ryuu) - willow; turns out, i should've been doing the double U at the end all along i guess! since i do it for Yuusei haha. anyway, whatever significance this might have is lost to me, and 鬼柳 together isn't a word, so.
-however, that means when you stick 鬼柳 into google, you only get YGO 5Ds Kiryu as a result, which is cool.
京 (On: キョウ/kyou) - capital; this is the "kyo" in "Kyoto" and "Tokyo", and it's used in various other capital/former capital city names. and it's in lots of names in general!
介 (On: カイ/kai) (however, put together with 京 as a name, it is すけ/suke) - jammed in, shellfish, mediate, concern oneself with; looks like this version of the kanji is used most often in words dealing with caring, assistance, intervention, nursing. it's a suru verb 介する - to use as an intermediary; to worry; to mind; to care. and it's in a lot of names!
きょうすけ 【京介】- i like jisho, but here's a somewhat better site for the whole name together; overall, i can see a lot of meanings in here that could be associated with Kiryu!
-i especially like (Hill - A high elevation.) for 京, which makes me think of his stupid rooftop table for meetings; and also (Isolation - To be alone or isolated.) for 介, which really needs no explanation lmao. but also the combo of 京 (Grand - Large and impressive.) and 介 (Magnifying - To make something larger or greater.) which, you know.../gestures at Earthbound God Ccapac Apu aka the Giant

(anyway, this is the start of what eventually led everyone to migrate over to Dreamwidth. LJ made some really stupid UI changes that made the whole RPing experience worse for everyone (and just. the experience of being on LJ tbh). I don't think this was the final straw; i'm pretty sure that was a different change to the aesthetics that gave people migraines. but this was the start. also, i think the CSS mentioned in that second post is still what's being used in the comms, since there was really no reason to change it, which is why they look so different and also so much better than other places on LJ lmao.)

(ALKJSKJS I HAD FOROGTTEN. THAT HE MADE THIS POST. LITERALLY A DAY AND A HALF BEFORE KIRYU GOT PORTED OUT. SHOULDA JUST KEPT YOUR MOUTH SHUT ALASTAIR AKJLSKJSKS)
▶▶▶ (midnight 01/04-01/05) ported out for a canon update ◀◀◀
(and here it is, the thing that. i kind of wish i hadn't done. because there's stuff i did after this that, well, i do like. it's kind of a shame that i would have to ignore them if i just cut him off here and said, no, no more of that. but alkjsksjs i really regret this choice to update him, it did NOT help with the motivation issues i was having. oh yes, i'm having trouble with kiryu bc he's lost so many people and he's mellowed out a lot and it's hard to want to throw him out there, better update him to a point where he's even more fucking depressed and unlikely to make friends. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i know why i didn't update him to 55, which would have been the more reasonable choice, but still. akjslsks.
and, to be honest, i think updating him to a point where he would absolutely hate being a Dark Signer could have been really interesting! he and alastair could have bonded over, y'know, being unnerved by their powers and BEING EVEN MORE ALIKE. having to get used to the City again after almost year of home time--particularly when he had found something at home to live for and didn't exactly want to be in the City anymore--could have been interesting. i feel like a lot of characters kind of just. picked right up where they left off even after a big update like that but THAT REALLY IS A SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF TIME. and also, having to deal with three years of extra memories getting dumped on you again--three years of memories where he's a fucking Dark Signer--also kind of a big deal!
so basically, i see where i was going with this. and i don't think it was the worst choice--or, it wouldn't have been, if I hadn't been so burnt out. but i was absolutely burnt out with Kiryu (and pretty burnt out with C&C in general tbh) at this point, and i just didn't have the spoons to implement any of the interesting stuff properly.
and tbh that interesting stuff is mostly interesting with people who know him, and 2-3 months worth of memories isn't really worth keeping anyway (especially when i still barely did anything during those months sigh). maybe if there had been a power update involved as well...but for some reason, i didn't even consider that. also, i think i like him best as a Dark Signer. which is why i put off updating him for so long in the first place!
like, let's be real here. even though kiryu had mellowed out A LOT by this point, his reaction to finding himself somewhere new (like idk a new game) would be EXTREMELY DIFFERENT between has-never-left-the-City-in-three-years DS Kiryu & updated-to-92-and-doesn't-call-the-City-home-anymore Kiryu. and DS Kiryu would be way more interesting.)

(oh YOU KNOW WHO IS SUSPICIOUSLY ABSENT FROM THIS LIST? FUCKING CAVIL. also Sho lmao gomen Sho.)
(anyway, other names kiryu would have had: Death, Delirium, Cavil, Sho, Terrorsaur probably, Blitzwing, Elisa Maza (dead), Optimus, Sentinel, Misty, Megatron, Skyfire, Godzilla (did no one mention him???), Hollow Ichigo, Thundercracker, Blackarachnia, Rua, Aki, Bruno...anyway this is pointless bc obviously we never got to the "name a bunch of random people even without dates" point, but alksjks this list cries.)
(oh interesting, apparently ghost was keeping a list of people who were dead (or "dead", several of these people were still moving around lmao) before coming to the City (like himself apparently) and of course Kiryu is on it. i mean, he made no secret of that lmao but still. that's kind of cool.)
➤ (01/07) Network post || LJ link
(REALLY SHOULD'VE PLAYED UP THAT NEEDING TIME FOR THE MEMORIES TO SETTLE THEMSELVES THING A BIT MORE I THINK)
(oh right, since this is a new account with new icons ect ect and also with 100% knowledge of canon...Kiryu finally has his criminal marker in civilian form! this is not a thing he had before ahahahaha no matter what the fanart icons said.
so when i first apped him, we had two & a half episodes of content. his civilian form was his Team Sat appearance, because i had no other options. and guess what, his TS icons don't have a criminal marker, for obvious reasons. so it was a lot easier to just say he didn't have it than to mention it all the fucking time. (also, i didn't know for sure that he would still have it (see: my further thoughts below), or even exactly what it looked like (i mean, it was likely that it was exactly the same as the red one in DS form (it is) but definitely not guaranteed, since we didn't get the actual marking scene until 54/55; heck there was even an idea floating around that there was a special ~red criminal marker for murder~, so it would have been red either way EARLY 5DS FANDOM WAS A SPECIAL TIME LEMME TELL YOU.)) then when it came time to update his appearance, it was way easier to just erase the marker in the CT images, than it would have been to add it into the TS ones.
anyway I DID COME UP WITH A REASON WHY HE DIDN'T HAVE IT other than just lol icons. and that reason is Ccapac Apu. basically, it was way more useful to have a servant who wasn't being tracked by Security all the time, and Kiryu dearly wished for it to be gone anyway. so when Ccapac revived him, He erased it from the "alive" form Kiryu got & basically rewrote it for his "dead" one. voila, in the eyes of Security, Kiryu no longer exists. he can hang out in Old Momentum for two years with no one the wiser.
as to why he has it now, let's assume the Dark Signers were revived as they were when they died. Kiryu would have still had the marker at the moment of death, therefore he still has it now. sucks to be him lol!
anyway, this is my excuse and i'm sticking to it. I HAVE GIVEN THIS SOME THOUGHT BEYOND LOL ICONS OK)

spam post for sharing music. it is locked :) it's nice to have a list of stuff i had at this time. (pretty sure i haven't lost any of it, in that i'm sure the files for all of these are on a usb somewhere, but whether i know where to find it all....)

(lmao alastair in here saying kiryu likes his butt. that is true. it's very nice to hold when they're. you know. LMAO.)
(also, this is interesting: so posts are still ending up with doubled comments, right. but around this time, not all of them are getting doubled. so a thread will have idk 5 comments, and then the repeat version has idk 15. KINDA WEIRD. tbh tho i'm grateful DW had the option at all, so i will put up with some weirdness.)

spam post your characters' relationship with The Law; also me still saying CT was bullshit even though i updated him to it lmfao; also my other Tom account LMFAO i had him in another game at that point so i was using it a lot I SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED SWITCHING TO IT DURING THE MOVE but i'm glad i didn't and i kept 1943!Tom and horcrux!Tom as separate accounts (& PBs lmao)
Let's put all the links regarding the move here:
1st Discussion Post (screened) (01/01)
2nd Discussion Post (01/04)
(it's interesting seeing all the concerns with invite codes, considering DW suspended that at some point to help people move and then...just...never reestablished them as being a thing lmao. bc RPers spend so much on our accounts that they had enough money for the growth to be sustainable even without invite codes. lol.)

Check in post re: THE MOVE (01/25)
(for how the move is going, the thing about the doubled comments, asking for help with cataloguing old usernames for old dropped characters (guess who did like. half of that. yeah it was me. the other half was jesse lol.)(guess who has also used that post in the last month to figure out a few of the older posts up in here. that's right, me again lmao), also OLESIA IS A MACHINE ILU OLESIA <3 )
(also somehow i didn't realize that WE MIRRORED THE SPAM COMM TOO? WHY DIDN'T I REALIZE THIS. anyway, there's been some posts THAT I KNOW EXISTED (like some cnc2020 posts) but have either vanished or are locked on LJ AND I'M GONNA GO FIND THEM ON DW.

WHICH IS TOO BAD BC I LOVE THIS. but idk what Kiryu's would be (probably why i never did it). he never got arrested & died? he never blew up the Security building, so they weren't after him anyway? he died trying to save Yuusei's life that one time, so he still kind of blames him but not like canon Kiryu does?--ACTUALLY THAT IDEA IS PRETTY GOOD)

DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE THIS JUST. you know.)

OKAY here is Shockwave's drop :( (02/03) i have been looking for it okay along with the info that ALASTAIR AND KIRYU ARE NOW IN CHARGE OF DANCITRON thank you very much space robot leader for this vote of confidence he will attempt to not fuck it up.
(actually, though, there really is no one better to be in charge of Dancition than Kiryu, obvious how-do-i-in-charge-of-things aside. he's been working there for what. two years at this point. and i've consistently had him learning/taking part in new aspects of what goes on in a nightclub, so we're not even like. promoting this DJ guy who knows nothing else or anything. and like. he treasures it as a thing Soundwave (and Starscream) left behind almost as much as Shockwave. so yeah. of course he's in charge of it. (with Alastair. but Alastair pretty much deferred to Kiryu on this, just as Kiryu didn't want anything to do with owning Hell Towers lmao)

spam post HOMESTUCK QUADRANTS.

Kiryu ♦ Saitou forever~

(honestly? should've dropped tom too. bc i did basically jack shit with him for like three months too. but i really thought i could keep going. sigh.
ANYWAY i don't. really have much to say other than, i probably should've done it sooner. it's still making me cry to think about. i wish there was a game like c&c around now bc i would app him there so fucking hard you don't even know. well, like c&c and allowing CRAUs bc i really do like what i had here, and i think now that i'm not dragging myself through a year's worth of burnout, i could do some more things with him. GOOD LORD THE APP I WOULD HAVE TO WRITE FOR HIM THOUGH ALKSJKSJS HIS GAME HISTORY WOULD BE LIKE FIVE TIMES LONGER THAN HIS CANON HISTORY LMAOOOOOO.
(also by "like c&c" i mostly mean the current day, regular city on an alternate Earth sort of setting. and the powers. and the superheroes LIKE I JUST JIVED REALLY WELL WITH C&C OKAY IT WAS NICE ACTUALLY KIND OF KNOWING WHO A GOOD CHUNK OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS WERE. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW NICE THAT WAS UNTIL I PLAYED IN OTHER GAMES WHERE THAT IS VERY MUCH NOT THE CASE I AM CANON-BLIND TO FUCKING EVERYTHING. also it was really fun sending Kiryu to actual Peru.
it's probably no surprise that the only other game i've lasted in for years was also regular City + powers sort of setting lmao or that the dressing room idea i've had kicking around is the same.....i also really miss this style of game where most of the plots are player-plots and most of the reaction is over the network/in separate logs instead of everything being in one giant log once a month BUT THAT'S NEITHER HERE NOR THERE.)
anyway, i didn't think i really have much else to say here. january through april is getting retconned if i do ever do anything else with him anyway, so. this was fun! even if it did take forever! and i'm kind of sad i finally reached the end. :(
that said...i do have a fanfic idea i'd been putting off writing until i was done.....)
