[DROPPED] Apprenticed to a serial killer, who taught her mechanical engineering. Now I'm apprenticed to a serial killer, who is teaching me mechanical engineering? If we had them, family game nights would be intense. I'll value what she taught me, always, even if we didn't see eye to eye on making the games winnable.
I stand by what I said: he is somehow closed up tighter than fort knox but full of more holes than swiss cheese. I care about him, though, and I want to be someone he can come to. I'm trying to make sure he knows it. Also sorry I bit you, Cervo, I wasn't feeling well. Unsure where we are; he's been quiet.
Combined spirit of a tomb-robber and a god of chaos, beloved by the king. I would die for this bird. Man. God-man. Ghost. He's my opposite number and very nearly family. Even though we don't talk as much as I talk with Ryou, I trust him with my life, and as soon as I know it's what's wanted, I'll destroy his enemies. BROTHER. BROTHER-EQUAL-PARTNER-KING.
Another secretly old man. I think we fell ass backwards into caring about each other more than we thought. Despite appearances, he is perfectly legal to drink. He's kind of a mess, but he's here for me, and for Ryou. I trust him.
[DROPPED] Not a cop! A circus performer turned vigilante turned circus owner, not sure what order they happened in. I think of him as someone who knows what he's doing but I am terribly wrong
[DROPPED] oh god oh man oh god oh man this guy is exactly what he says on the tin, he has weaponized being up his own ass and if you kill him he'll end up up yours, so, look out for that
I never got to use the murder method I designed for him on him. I'm keeping it in my back pocket, though...
Killed me & harvested my adrenochrome, we're even tho i exsanguinated him back and feel a little bad bc i kinda get what he was going for now that i've had some time and distance
UPDATE: he's back and I am doing my best to coexist. I am trying so hard.
[DROPPED] Ugh, Marik. His whole family was hurt horribly and unjustly for my sake and I know I need to make reparations and fully plan to, but also, he's so much, all the time. Please stop calling me "Pharaoh," it's literally only a problem when you do it. Hope he's all right.
He's a good guy who cares about healing others, one of the few monsters here truly able to do it, and not just switch the wounds to another monster. I think, though, that he's a little too used to people listening to him...I suspect he was a faith healer of some kind in Italy, and people got weird about it. He seems to mean well, but I've upset him badly. Which makes sense: I was going for "upsetting."
Thank god she's here. Powerful, stunning, as beautiful and brilliant and sharp as a thousand shards of broken glass. Not someone to mess with, but that's not why we're friends. Has really been through it, but that's not why we're friends, either. It's just because I'm lucky enough to be someone she likes, and I like her, too.
It was tough going for a while. We both misunderstood each other pretty badly...but now that we do understand each other. She's doing really well, for someone who's been through as much as she has...it's amazing she's able to care as much as she does. But she does. UPDATE: INNER CIRCLE WOULD FIGHT FOR WOULD MAIM FOR WOULD STAND UP FOR AND TAKE HEAT FOR
She's like a doctor, but for history! She's seen it all, and she's got a perspective not many other people do. It's like she's pulled the focus back so that what's in the picture covers millions and millions of years, and maybe that's why she doesn't judge things like "death traps" and "war crimes." I cut her arm off and it was chill, and we took out a smuggling ring together. Sometimes we get coffee and talk about ancient history; she's always fun to talk to. She has some of the best, most level-headed perspective of anyone on this peninsula. I'm so glad we're still friends.
I understand him better now. I still don't like him, and I worry for Riley, but I understand why he acts the way he does...I don't know if it's possible to be on good terms with him without the kind of devotion Ray, or the complicated erotic hate he and AM seem to share, but I want to try. He's got something fundamentally wrong with him, and he doesn't understand why no one else sees the world like he does, and that's got to be lonely.
A terrifying individual, I understand. Everyone seems afraid to stop him, no matter what he chooses to do. I'm going to figure out how to put off that vibe myself, and I don't care how many people I have to torture to do it. But HE'S the bad guy. Definitely not me. At least we're even for what he did to Ryou, though it might come back to haunt me later. We're talking now, and that's probably not a good thing, but I'm interested in it....
I thought he was kind of lame at first, wearing a damaged suit around all the time, but...actually, he's pretty nice. He believed me right away when I said I was a ghost, and even though I've got some doubts about the legality of ghost evidence being admissible in court, it meant a lot to be accepted. I'd help him in a heartbeat, if there were something I could do. We're not enemies right now, but not friends, either...it doesn't change how I feel about him.
A friend of Riley's, who always wants to know what's going on. She's passed me useful information before, rumors she hears at work that have led to successful hunts -- and I always tell her what I found out. She's a quick one, all edges and sharp words, unless she likes you. You can tell she does because the sharpness is directed outward, instead of in: she looks for advantages for you, instead of against you. Not everyone can trust her, but I do. UPDATE: LOVE CAIRO FIGHT FOR CAIRO STAN CAIRO SHE'S A QUEEN
I don't know what it is, but being around each other makes us both feel calmer. She's helped me through some of my most vulnerable times, and even though she has the same impulses Riley does, I can't blame her for it...not when she's doing her best not to let them hurt the people she loves. That part of her isn't the most important part at all...the rest of Ray is what matters.
A small medium with a large heart! It was surprising when she treated me like a spirit, but it made me feel oddly better about being dead. She's the first person to make me feel at home with the fact that I was a ghost...but we're not just friends because of that, or even because of her Steel Samurai comics. I want her to have the power to protect herself, and I'll give up my good name in a heartbeat to make that happen.
My (former) boss at Juno Steel Investigations. She's got it all together: an investigation business, a wife, a good reputation...she was willing to give me a chance, even though I didn't have any experience, and one of my very few regrets is that I've let her down.
Stylish. Iconic. Kind. Talented. She's an amazing young woman, and I'm proud to be her friend! Grateful, too, after what's happened. I believe her, when she says she wants to understand me...I wonder how she'll feel about me, when she knows the whole story.
A big, but jumpy, guy. I've never seen a guy with a build like that act so closed in on himself. He's Doppio's boss, from back home...I knew who he was because of Ryslig weirdness and Giorno, but I've been keeping what I know to myself. I want to know this guy, not because I want to spy, but because I want to make sure Doppio's all right, since he'd do anything for Diavolo. So far, matters seem okay...he told me his name freely, so at least I can stop pretending I don't know that. No idea where we stand at the moment.
Bruno Bucciarati JoJo's Bizarre Adventure unfastens
I'm worried about this guy. We don't know each other well, but he seems like a decent sort, and he's unhappy about being a monster. I had a feeling it'd spell trouble, and my worries were confirmed when he checked out from hunger and tried to hunt me in the woods...unfortunately, I've burned any goodwill I might have had! That's all right, though.
Super sweet. Super nice. The person to go to if you want to hear about in-game events from before you were there, or what other people have asked Mana for, to get advantages in the past. She hates the Fog for what the Fog did to her brother, and I understand...I'm just glad she's willing to give Fog-aligned monsters the benefit of the doubt. I don't hold what Elias does against her, either...her reasons are good ones. They're just different from mine. I want to stay friends, if I can, but I don't know if that'll be possible...UPDATE: TOTALLY IS
He's a chess friend, a thief friend, and a true friend. Ryou's and my home is open to him, which is a good thing, because he turns up unexpectedly! RIDE OR DIE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Daisukenojo "Beat" Bito The World Ends With You soundsurfing
He seems rough at first, but don't be fooled by how he talks. Beat's a rare kind of guy, someone who'll drop what he's doing to help you out if you're in trouble. UPDATE: I went bad, and we fought a little, but I think we're good for each other. I trust him, even though we're on opposite sides, and I want to protect him from whatever trouble I can. Only person I've ever allowed to pap me with a stickyhand.
Jumpy around vampires due to the unique deliciousness of his blood. For someone who's intimately involved with Black Hat, he's surprisingly mild-mannered...from the way he responded to the Cube bombing, I suspect he's had his projects taken away or broken before. I don't like the idea of him being pushed around...unless it's consensual, I guess.
I wasn't going to make enemies of any more monsters, not after ▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮. But this guy had it coming. He didn't just kidnap Javert with silver and starve him till he was dangerous, letting him loose in a mirror-maze in his murder theme park, no -- he also dumped silver in the water supply of some human neighborhoods, as well as the 38-8. I beat him with a game, caught him with salt, and brought him to La Forteresse...but I couldn't leave the matter there. He's an ancient incarnation of evil from before the beginning of civilization, so of course he's the only guy here who already knows how to play senet. I visited him in jail -- apparently, sleeping with AM doesn't give you any special privileges as far as inmate punitive policy's concerned -- and did my best to keep him company, and keep him occupied, with games.
I suspect he eats the pieces when I'm not looking.
Okay, can somebody tell me how in cards' name this guy got demon? This guy. This guy's a demon. I don't get it. It's like Jonathan, but worse, because at least Jonathan could beat you up if he put his mind to it. Alfred is one of the gentlest, sweetest monsters I've met. It's like seeing a kitten about to cross a road. You can't help yourself, you've got to pick it up. Maybe that's too insulting a comparison...I'm sure he'll find his feet.
Another one with prior undead trauma; handle with care. Probably burned this connection, too.
Prince of Hell, hemomancer, craftsman, and party girl, this demon-turned-vampire seems to do it all...for someone who wound up hung over in a dunk tank, I respect him a lot! Uncertain where we stand, only that I'm very understandably banned from his bar!
Jonathan Joestar JoJo's Bizarre Adventure standless
Another "really??" demon. Another one with prior-to-Ryslig vampire baggage! He drinks dried blood that he makes into tea, plays Monster World, and has a kitten that's maybe half the size of one hand. He reached out to me, after what happened, in a way that really meant something...I trust that he's good.
