On the ending of Dangan Roleplay, and future plans

[aretaic]

Mentally screaming "Guess whose Title is up for grabs now, Bitches!" is not an appropriate response to finding out who the supposed Mastermind was.

...

Regardless, limiting my skills to one category is insulting at best. Such a system is ridiculous for a school touted as prompting the best in students. Limiting their focus is just another sign that they need Jesus require a through reworking.

What title does your mun want to give you?

[aretaic]

Leader. I can't argue it's appropriateness, but it's a shallow moniker.

[frigokinetic]

That's a lot to live up to.

[Whether she's referring to "as a leader of others" or "a genocidal maniac" is unclear.]

[selflessfreak]

It's true that these titles are a little demeaning; mine's been thinking that if I were to be thrown into the wringer, I'd get the title of "Super High School Level Selfless Freak".

And it's not funny.

[aretaic]

...

That's not a Talent. That's a Personality Disorder.

[selflessfreak]

It's not like I chose the title myself!

[ To be honest, he would choose a more befitting title that doesn't sound like a complete load of crap - maybe something like "pro wrestling fan" or maybe even "world hero". You know, something cool. ]

[sugarcandyasshole]

Some titles are a collection of skills, you know.

[Read: some titles are bullshit.]

[aretaic]

True. It's still a pointless exercise. Those with the talent to be 'Super High School Level'-

[And wow the disdain for that title is dropping off his words]

-should already be aware of their skills and abilities.

[sugarcandyasshole]

I'm pretty sure the point of being a "Super High School Level" is so everyone else knows your skills.

Even if the title is a little . . . esoteric. Or transient.

[bittydragon]

Unfortunately, categorising a person solely on their dominant ability is something that civilians do within common society, and not just within that ridiculous school. A foolish practice, but extremely common regardless. But, I'd suspect you would know more about that than I, as you're at that stage of being able to freely move amongst them.

...

Ah, but I have to admit, speaking to myself, even if it's an older, alternative self, is a little odd and... curious. But I will refrain from asking meaningless questions regarding it. I doubt we will get a straight answer.

[aretaic]

You are correct. More often then not they force themselves and each other into roles that at best limit and at worst cripple their potential.

[He pauses, remembering Someone]

...but not all of them, I suppose.

[He's not even going to comment on asking how a younger version of himself is talking to him. As 'he' already said: why ask questions you know there are no answers to? Especially considering 'he' already knows that]

can i just say i am excited to see another yamato rper i only know like one other

[bittydragon]

Hm? Have you met some that defy the norm? Ah.

[A slightly pleased look - right, this was his chance to get a peek into the 'Real World' without that veil of a shaded car window, or through his (potentially biased) books, obscuring things! He should grill his older self ruthlessly before he slunk away to fulfil his duties]

Tell me about them - and whether civilians are as hopeless as I was told. Evidence seems to lean towards that they are more than a little incompetent, but I know that I have seen only a small percentage of them.

[Before he was completely bitter and disillusioned (instead he was mostly bitter and disillusioned, with a dash of cautious optimistic idealism)]

[badluckhealer]

... The appropriateness of a reply...I don't think muns care about things like that. At all.

[Regardless.]

The mun decided to have me drop by and say hello on account of, quote, "all the squeaking about another DS2 RPer." ... So, hi.

[aretaic]

Your greeting is...

[Acknowledged? No no, he can almost hear 'him' getting onto him for being rude for no reason and edits himself. Slightly]

...appreciated.

As for the 'mun' she is regularly inappropriate.

[badluckhealer]

[Hmph.]

"Acknowledged" seems like it would have been the truer term, but...at any rate.

There is a - version - of someone from your Tokyo wandering around the mun's headspace. She's reluctant to bring her out, of course, because like all muns she has a crippling case of regular self-abasement.

Regards from that corner, too. And that last statement is true.

[Lineface scoffing goes here.]

forgive me if my voice is rusty uvu

[colpugno]

[She's not all that certain if she should say "good riddance" or be kind of frustrated on the possibility of him going to that kind of place because honestly? This guy's morality is not exactly top class tier, let's be real.]

Yeah, you really don't deserve the title of "Leader", anyway.

[aretaic]

[He scoffs slightly.]

Ban.

[That's all the greeting and acknowledgement you're getting brat child]

[mopocalypse]

But it means you have something you're meant for, doesn't it, doesn't it?

[aretaic]

I have something my family has been bred and trained to do for generations, yes.

[There's a weird mix of pride and disgust in his tone.]

[rioteous]

...The only thing that's fitting is how well you can plot, Hotsuin. But you don't have the compassion and humanity a proper leader should have.

[He detest Hotsuin and everything he stands for, but Ronaldo isn't too blind to want to subject him to anything cruel.]

[aretaic]

Things you seem to have exceedingly too much of to do the same, Kuriki.

[Look Ronaldo he's actually acknowledging you. By name. Seems 'someone's' affection for you has earned you a full single point in his eyes. Maybe half a point.]

...i gave in...

[jumyouboshi]

[Alcor's not one to limit what others can do (only himself, foolishly enough), but to say that he didn't have an inkling of what said title would be an utter lie, and Alcor never truly, outright lied. He's not sure what to feel about this; regret? Guilt, for doing what he did to his family? Or was it guilt over something else? Nevertheless, he doubted the Hotsuin heir would want to hear his musings and speculation on his title anyway. Especially Alcor's musings, of all people.]

You are indeed skilled.

[Of course, he's probably the one person (being? alien?) that can manage to piss him off while trying his best not to, even dropping a compliment. Just by. Being. Existing. There.]

But, I wonder if that will be enough for you to avoid what will come, if you are to tread this path.

[It's not teasing, or mocking, or anything of the sort (although given how goddamned sinister his default expression seemed at times, nobody could blame anyone for thinking so), but pure, genuine curiosity. Defying ol' daddy Poley's wishes and what was written in a timeline was one thing, defying the wishes of a mun was another.]

[aretaic]

[He stares at Alcor. Yamato Hotsuin isn't one to bristle, but if he was, he would be]

No course of action is one hundred percent assured.

[He could die, of course. He's always known that]

[sleepinghearts]

These titles can be pretty funny, though.

[aretaic]

So?

[Please don't tell him -humor- is a reason all on it's own Sora]
