Interview Funtimes: Starring Distractions AND MORE PARTS

[18:36:50] * @Sakuya_Izayoi ([email protected]) has left #Interview_Room
[21:28:48] * Lord_Tenma ([email protected]) has joined #Interview_Room
[21:31:19] * Kanako_Yasaka ([email protected]) has joined #Interview_Room
[21:31:19] * ChanServ sets mode: +qo Kanako_Yasaka Kanako_Yasaka
[21:31:29] <~Kanako_Yasaka> No you don't
[21:31:45] <~Kanako_Yasaka> The interview process is the path you take to help you build up your character
[21:32:01] <~Kanako_Yasaka> It's the place where bad OCs get improved
[21:32:01] <Lord_Tenma> so what happened?
[21:32:21] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Shuku complaining about his character never being finished~
[21:32:21] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Soooo
[21:32:26] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Let's give him a friendly push
[21:32:29] <~Kanako_Yasaka> And show this admin
[21:32:38] <~Kanako_Yasaka> How we work
[21:32:44] <~Kanako_Yasaka> So we can get favourable reviews from him
[21:32:52] <~Kanako_Yasaka> and he can tell Sayuno
[21:32:56] <~Kanako_Yasaka> And we can increase our funding!
[21:33:12] <~Kanako_Yasaka> :D
[21:36:52] * @Shuku cuts back on Kanako's funding
[21:36:53] <@Shuku> http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9s0oylfm21qz4w1go1_400.png
[21:37:08] <Lord_Tenma> lol
[21:41:56] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Well then!
[21:41:59] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Let's starto!
[21:42:08] * ~Kanako_Yasaka grabs Shuku  and inverts him
[21:42:19] * ~Kanako_Yasaka was joking
[21:42:19] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Okay
[21:42:21] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Seriously speaking
[21:42:28] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Can we see what you already have written down?
[21:43:36] <@Shuku> there's a wiki page, right
[21:43:51] <@Shuku> use that since I've got nothing so far because everything is distracting me
[21:43:59] <@Shuku> in fact here
[21:43:59] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Okay
[21:44:00] <@Shuku> http://wiki.gensoukyoueasternstory.net/Haiiro
[21:44:05] <@Shuku> have the wiki page link!
[21:46:19] <~Kanako_Yasaka> It's awfully
[21:46:25] <~Kanako_Yasaka> happy
[21:46:56] <@Shuku> She's awfully happy
[21:47:07] <@Shuku> A lot of it is first person, soyeah
[21:47:14] <~Kanako_Yasaka> It's long
[21:47:16] <~Kanako_Yasaka> That's a decent start
[21:47:19] <@Shuku> V:
[21:47:20] <~Kanako_Yasaka> :D
[21:47:23] <~Kanako_Yasaka> WELP OFF TO READING
[21:48:35] <@Shuku> There might be holes here and there
[21:48:50] <@Shuku> Twas my first application in forever
[21:49:09] <~Kanako_Yasaka> More words?
[21:49:12] <~Kanako_Yasaka> More things we can fix
[21:49:19] <@Shuku> Indeed, indeed
[21:49:29] <@Shuku> and thus the finished product will be an EVEN BETTER HAIIRO
[21:49:33] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Short applications need a lot more infering and assumption
[21:50:48] <@Shuku> ~
[21:51:38] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Good God Lord_Tenma, I hate the amount of detail you put into responses
[21:51:43] <~Kanako_Yasaka> They make me feel so... insignificant
[21:52:05] <@Shuku> THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE BETTER
[21:52:08] <Lord_Tenma> I like to make your pride cry. I get off on it
[21:52:19] <~Kanako_Yasaka> I dare you to take me on in a fight
[21:52:21] * ~Kanako_Yasaka grumbles
[21:52:35] <Lord_Tenma> <3 you know i tease
[22:03:56] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Anyways
[22:03:58] <~Kanako_Yasaka> I've skimmed it
[22:04:41] <@Shuku> There's at least one thing I hope someone catches, and if it's not caught I'll accuse you of positive bias V:
[22:05:54] <@Shuku> If there's more I'm perfectly alright with that as well, but there can't be less
[22:06:17] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Well
[22:06:20] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Gimme a sec
[22:06:24] <~Kanako_Yasaka> It's quite long
[22:08:15] <@Shuku> You have plenty of time
[22:08:34] <@Shuku> meanwhile I can mull over GIVING HER A NEW ABILITY BECAUSE I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF
[22:09:13] <@Shuku> The ability to, if you will, cast an 'opposite' version of a learned spell (if applicable)
[22:09:20] <~Kanako_Yasaka> I see
[22:09:22] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Well
[22:09:31] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Watch out for things like
[22:09:34] <~Kanako_Yasaka> EATING DANMAKU
[22:09:35] <~Kanako_Yasaka> :3
[22:09:39] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Don't go overboard
[22:09:40] <@Shuku> But of course V:
[22:09:43] <~Kanako_Yasaka> You can have a few
[22:09:47] <~Kanako_Yasaka> But yeeaaah
[22:09:47] <@Shuku> I try hard not to~
[22:09:53] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Also
[22:09:55] <~Kanako_Yasaka> You sound like Marisa
[22:09:57] <~Kanako_Yasaka> for some reason
[22:10:04] <~Kanako_Yasaka> NOt that it's a bad thing
[22:10:07] <Lord_Tenma> I enjoyed reading your character Shuku
[22:10:14] <~Kanako_Yasaka> So
[22:10:15] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Tell me
[22:10:17] <Lord_Tenma> but i lost it at Royal Rainbow.
[22:10:17] <~Kanako_Yasaka> What about your parents?
[22:10:37] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Tenma~
[22:10:47] <~Kanako_Yasaka> I'll make sure to punish Haiiro properly in the combat section~
[22:10:50] <~Kanako_Yasaka> So anyways
[22:10:54] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Haiiro's parents
[22:10:59] <Lord_Tenma> I AM TENMA. I HAVE NO PARENTS! >:[
[22:11:02] <@Shuku> What's this, are you pulling a fast one on me
[22:11:03] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Their reaction to their lovely daughter becoming a Youkai
[22:11:04] <Lord_Tenma> oh. Haiiro's parents
[22:11:12] <@Shuku> ARE YOU STARTING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS ALL OF A SUDDEN
[22:11:16] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Yes
[22:11:20] <@Shuku> They...don't quite know
[22:11:23] <~Kanako_Yasaka> ...
[22:11:26] <Lord_Tenma> and dammit kanako. i wanted to ask that
[22:11:26] <~Kanako_Yasaka> When did she move out?
[22:11:35] <~Kanako_Yasaka> How did she gain the resources to build a home
[22:11:46] <~Kanako_Yasaka> How did she build what you call "Haiiro's Mansion"
[22:11:53] <Lord_Tenma> kanako you're pressing too hard and fast
[22:11:57] <@Shuku> No she is not
[22:11:58] <Lord_Tenma> sometimes you gotta be tender
[22:12:06] <@Shuku> I am made of steel
[22:12:10] <~Kanako_Yasaka> They're all interelated
[22:12:15] <Lord_Tenma> treat them gently
[22:12:16] <~Kanako_Yasaka> They're all about the same point
[22:12:26] <~Kanako_Yasaka> You should see me flame about abilities
[22:12:26] <Lord_Tenma> ...
[22:12:29] <@Shuku> And I thank you for catching the hole I knew was there
[22:12:34] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Great!
[22:12:37] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Let's get working then!
[22:12:38] <@Shuku> It bugged me but I let it sit there
[22:12:39] * Lord_Tenma smacks Kanako_Yasaka and shoos her back to the tengu village.
[22:12:56] <Lord_Tenma> <3
[22:13:01] <@Shuku> She's not about to ask her parents about getting stuff, but I know she learns quickly
[22:13:26] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Where did she get the books
[22:13:26] <@Shuku> And with minor telekinesis I bet she COULD build a house
[22:13:31] <~Kanako_Yasaka> No
[22:13:38] <~Kanako_Yasaka> not with /minor/ telekinesis
[22:13:39] <Lord_Tenma> kanako
[22:13:46] <@Shuku> And her own power, of course
[22:13:50] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Not until you define weight limits
[22:13:56] <Lord_Tenma> kanako i can take it from here
[22:14:01] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Building a house is compli--
[22:14:02] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Sure
[22:14:07] <@Shuku> You can both take it from here
[22:14:09] <@Shuku> I CAN TAKE IT
[22:14:10] * ~Kanako_Yasaka has experience in carpentry
[22:14:14] <@Shuku> I'M NOT MADE OF TENDER STUFF
[22:14:19] <@Shuku> LIKE HALF THE OTHER FOLK HERE
[22:14:22] <Lord_Tenma> i know
[22:14:27] <Lord_Tenma> but kanako moves way too fast
[22:14:36] <@Shuku> ...ok point I did find it hard to keep up there
[22:14:37] <Lord_Tenma> now lets go back a little
[22:14:40] <Lord_Tenma> ... a lot
[22:14:44] * ~Kanako_Yasaka apologises
[22:15:02] <Lord_Tenma> I thought that was a very interesting point. Did Haiiro's parents even know she was studying magic?
[22:15:20] <~Kanako_Yasaka> ((Or building a house away from home))
[22:15:25] <@Shuku> Kanako pls
[22:16:21] * Satori_Komeiji ([email protected]) Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[22:17:21] <@Shuku> She tried to keep it under wraps, and I suppose her parents actually understood that it was something she wanted to do secretly
[22:17:39] <@Shuku> And so, they probably already knew, but there wasn't a confrontation about it
[22:17:54] <@Shuku> Perhaps, looking back, it may have not been the best idea
[22:18:31] <Lord_Tenma> Do her parents have any concept or knowledge that she's a youkai now? even if they don't "know" do they "suspect" and if so, how much?
[22:19:01] * Satori_Komeiji ([email protected]) has joined #Interview_Room
[22:19:10] <@Shuku> Well with how bold Haiiro's been in RPs as of late, maybe a rumor or two might have flown by
[22:19:37] <@Shuku> At the moment, however, they don't have any direct reason to suspect so, or at least one that came from her
[22:19:53] <@Shuku> I mean, they probably don't KNOW it's possible to transcend humanity through magic
[22:19:57] <@Shuku> Soyeah
[22:20:16] <@Shuku> She has muttered about people being rather fragile from time to time, though
[22:20:37] <@Shuku> Barely have a lifespan, for starters
[22:23:13] <@Shuku> (I'm done, if I were to go Haiiro mode here that'd require prompting)
[22:25:01] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Lord_Tenma:
[22:25:03] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Learn to multi task
[22:25:08] * ~Kanako_Yasaka will take over <3
[22:25:25] * ~Kanako_Yasaka puts on a bandana with the word GODOT on it
[22:25:25] <Lord_Tenma> one sec
[22:25:28] <Lord_Tenma> just grabbing things
[22:25:44] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Ahem.
[22:25:52] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Where did you get the resources necessary for you to learn magic?
[22:26:38] * ~Kanako_Yasaka pokes Shuku
[22:26:55] <@Shuku> Just because you're moving slower doesn't mean you're giving your speed to me :V
[22:27:07] <Lord_Tenma> sorry i was being talked to
[22:27:24] <@Shuku> It's OK~
[22:27:31] <Lord_Tenma> and yes. what kanako asked
[22:27:41] <~Kanako_Yasaka> :/
[22:27:58] <Lord_Tenma> what? it was a good quesiton
[22:28:27] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Ohkay!
[22:28:43] * ~Kanako_Yasaka thought Lord_Tenma would jump down her throat, pour poison into her stomach and leave.
[22:29:58] <@Shuku> The only one that does that around here is you V:
[22:30:20] * ~Kanako_Yasaka looks at Shuku
[22:30:23] * ~Kanako_Yasaka bursts out laughing
[22:30:38] <@Shuku> Tell me I'm wrong. :VV
[22:31:44] <@Shuku> Being the person she is, I would say she acquired them through being a mischevious child with ambition. Ergo, she resorted to the same thing Marisa probably would have. I bet Marisa's father has a few books on magic. Maybe. Possibly!
[22:32:08] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Well
[22:32:15] <~Kanako_Yasaka> No
[22:32:28] <@Shuku> If not him, someone else. Mages have become increasingly common.
[22:32:42] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Okay
[22:32:52] <@Shuku> Though not 'common', per say, definitely not 'ultra-rare'.
[22:33:01] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Rare
[22:33:05] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Or infrequent
[22:33:07] <@Shuku> We'll go with that.
[22:33:08] <Lord_Tenma> that reminds me. do we have a patchouli?
[22:33:08] <~Kanako_Yasaka> at bst
[22:33:13] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Yes
[22:33:14] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Mootsies
[22:33:23] <Lord_Tenma> i've not seen her once
[22:33:29] <@Shuku> Either way, she was looking pretty damned hard while exploring.
[22:33:29] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Admin
[22:33:57] <@Shuku> She likes the exploring thing, you know. It's a pain when you're restricted to a single village. But she got pretty good at it!
[22:34:33] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Well
[22:35:04] <~Kanako_Yasaka> I think one of my main arguments with Alurane's app was - Locating strong magicians
[22:35:11] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Who might have the resources
[22:35:22] <Lord_Tenma> Alurane just said an aspiring mage
[22:35:26] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Also if stealing is one of your skills
[22:35:29] <Lord_Tenma> meaning a weak mage
[22:35:31] <Lord_Tenma> or a novice mage
[22:35:41] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Yes I know
[22:35:45] <~Kanako_Yasaka> The point is
[22:36:02] <~Kanako_Yasaka> WHere can you find someone in the village with an "advanced spellbook" in the field of "Colourmancy"
[22:36:17] <@Shuku> THAT was probably accquired much later on
[22:36:28] <@Shuku> And that was an unintended side effect of a bigger thing anyway
[22:36:36] <@Shuku> Welcomed, but unintended
[22:36:43] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Also
[22:36:45] <@Shuku> magic
[22:37:15] * ~Kanako_Yasaka wants Haiiro to add - Stealing - ability list later
[22:37:29] <@Shuku> How about 'being sneaky'
[22:37:43] <@Shuku> It's more her, after all
[22:37:52] <@Shuku> stealing sort of falls in there anyway
[22:38:02] <@Shuku> ...though nowadays she likes being bold V:
[22:38:11] <@Shuku> Probably comes with the status of 'not human'
[22:39:27] <~Kanako_Yasaka> (HOLY SHIT LAG)
[22:39:50] <Lord_Tenma> she didn't have to steal nessisarily.
[22:40:13] <@Shuku> She'll steal where appropriate
[22:40:27] <~Kanako_Yasaka> ((Bold is associated with Youkai? --> Rosette, Kisume))
[22:40:56] <@Shuku> Bold is associated with not having the lifespan of a candle in a typhoon~
[22:40:59] <@Shuku> If some things can get bought, she'll buy some
[22:41:06] <@Shuku> but the good stuff is what's not getting sold
[22:41:28] <@Shuku> ...at least, most of the time
[22:41:54] <@Shuku> And besides, buying magicial goods openly would be rather hard when you're trying to keep it under wraps
[22:42:04] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Where did you get the income?
[22:42:11] <@Shuku> Kids get allowances
[22:42:14] * @Shuku shrugs
[22:42:15] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Magical Tomes are generally rare and would be overpriced
[22:42:26] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Seeing how low they are in supply
[22:42:35] <@Shuku> OK, good stuff AND expensive stuff get taken
[22:42:45] <@Shuku> though she does save her allowance for things like this
[22:42:56] * ~Kanako_Yasaka leaves it to Lord_Tenma
[22:42:59] <@Shuku> Perhaps it's the wonder she's not buying anything that they can see that allows investigation
[22:44:46] <Lord_Tenma> hmm
[22:45:10] <Lord_Tenma> i wouldn't be surprised if the village had basic magic tomes for public use. So that the humas are capable of at least basic danmaku.
[22:45:30] <Lord_Tenma> something like that could have sparked an interest in magic
[22:45:33] <@Shuku> THAT stuff would be bought up like candy, she'd have an excuse for that
[22:45:36] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Yes but colormancy nope.jpg
[22:45:44] <@Shuku> That's an entirely different thing
[22:45:46] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Seeing how rare a branch it is
[22:45:50] <@Shuku> She didn't grow up with that
[22:45:55] * ~Kanako_Yasaka accepts this point
[22:45:59] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Okay then
[22:46:01] <@Shuku> That just sort of magically appeared
[22:46:07] <@Shuku> When she became, well, magic
[22:46:10] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Any more queries then Lord_Ten.....
[22:46:16] <@Shuku> Magicians~
[22:46:18] * ~Kanako_Yasaka ignores what she just read
[22:46:26] <~Kanako_Yasaka> (First strike)
[22:46:46] <@Shuku> ALL THINGS WHEN THEY COME
[22:46:59] <Lord_Tenma> now. it could be explained through an innate magical affinity. Learning the methods of one magic may help a person transition into a magic they are more apt to practice
[22:47:54] <@Shuku> I suppose
[22:50:39] <Lord_Tenma> certain magics are unusual for a reason
[22:51:03] <Lord_Tenma> they are difficult in some way or another. or impractical. unless a person is attuned to it
[22:52:13] <@Shuku> Haiiro would definitely be attuned to color magics, then!
[22:52:33] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Great!
[22:52:34] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Now that's cleared up!
[22:52:42] <~Kanako_Yasaka> ...... if you die to Alurane, I will personally kill you
[22:52:45] <@Shuku> She'd probably be good at all sorts of weird magics, color stands out in that regard. :V
[22:52:55] <@Shuku> Oh, with how she was explained
[22:53:05] <@Shuku> I bet Haiiro would RECOGNIZE that one
[22:53:17] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Anyways
[22:53:23] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Is this point cleared up sufficiently?
[22:53:27] <@Shuku> Is it~?
[22:53:36] <Lord_Tenma> now. if the ability is an innate attunement it means that Haiiro was capable of the magic before they even trained. By training in general magic you increase your general magical prowess allowing you to tap into the magic you're attuned to.
[22:53:46] <Lord_Tenma> progress with that magic will be slow though.
[22:53:51] <Lord_Tenma> without formal books
[22:54:11] <Lord_Tenma> i'd imagine if you tell patchouli you are attuned to a rare magic she'll be willing to share knowledge
[22:54:19] <~Kanako_Yasaka> ^
[22:54:20] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Also
[22:54:23] <~Kanako_Yasaka> Haiiro has had 12 years
[22:54:40] <~Kanako_Yasaka> 12 years is a good length of time for experimentation, blowing yourself up, and other miscellaneous things
[22:54:55] <@Shuku> With the gate guard there? And that place is run by vampires. How does anyone get in there?
[22:55:04] <~Kanako_Yasaka> You knock
[22:55:18] <Lord_Tenma> oh one thing
[22:55:20] <@Shuku> Haiiro's not knocking on that door for a while yet V:
[22:55:24] <@Shuku> And if anyone even brings up meeting her outside, whoo
[22:55:28] <@Shuku> >patchy going outside
[22:55:35] <Lord_Tenma> you might want to raise the age Haiiro became a magician by maybe 4-6 years
[22:56:04] <Lord_Tenma> without formal and rigorous training the process would have been extraordinarily difficult
[22:56:11] <@Shuku> ...I'll raise it by 2 at max, due to a line of text in the...was it Perfect Memento?
[22:56:42] <Lord_Tenma> which line?
[22:56:54] <@Shuku> >However, in Gensokyo, magical research is more advanced and learning magic is simple.
[22:56:54] <@Shuku> >Thus, there are more than a few young (childish) magicians in Gensokyo.
[22:57:06] <Lord_Tenma> ah
[22:57:13] <@Shuku> It implies more ease than one would imagine normally
[22:57:25] <Lord_Tenma> it may not refer to magician (species)
[22:57:35] <@Shuku> It's in the entry for magician (species)
[22:57:59] <@Shuku> right below how they grow older with time before they ascend, if you will
[22:58:03] <@Shuku> http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Memento_in_Strict_Sense/Magician
[22:58:06] <@Shuku> Take it~
[23:00:40] * ~Kanako_Yasaka ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[23:00:58] <Lord_Tenma> k
[23:01:22] <Lord_Tenma> Shuku how are you with sad things?
[23:02:12] <@Shuku> Haiiro has thankfully (for herself) avoided a lot of sad things. However, I could say I work reasonably well with them! I hope.
[23:02:33] <Lord_Tenma> no i mean
[23:02:40] <Lord_Tenma> how do you deal with sad things
[23:03:01] <Lord_Tenma> i have a bit of a sad story fetish but i'm not well in the head.
[23:03:19] <@Shuku> You mean as a person?
[23:03:24] <@Shuku> DID I NOT TELL YOU I AM MADE OF IRON
[23:04:24] <@Shuku> ...OK I have done things like cry when my grandma died (bless her heart even if she brought down the wrath of rice pudding at one point in my life)
[23:04:52] <@Shuku> (cancer sucks)
[23:05:15] <@Shuku> But when my great grandma died of natural causes, I saw past the 'she's gone' and felt relieved that she could finally go instead of sorrow
[23:05:21] <@Shuku> THAT'S HOW I DEAL WITH SAD THIGNS
[23:05:23] <@Shuku> THINGS EVEN
[23:06:33] <@Shuku> You can say whatever you want to say~
[23:13:48] <@Shuku> O-or don't say anything I guess :(
[23:14:59] <Lord_Tenma> sorry.
[23:15:03] <Lord_Tenma> phone
[23:15:40] <Lord_Tenma> there is a doujin you should read that involves Marisa's trials as she attempts to become a magician
[23:15:59] <Lord_Tenma> i dont expect you to go with something this dark. but its something to consider
[23:16:11] <Lord_Tenma> perhaps small aspects will inspire you
[23:16:47] <Lord_Tenma> Shuku: http://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/3659
[23:18:53] <@Shuku> So as long as I don't end up off track again due to reading it~
[23:19:07] <@Shuku> ...but before I do read it I should prepare something to eat
[23:19:35] <Satori_Komeiji> D:
[23:19:37] <Satori_Komeiji> I LIVE!
[23:19:51] <Satori_Komeiji> Had to get something to eat. Also, helped my grandma. :<
[23:20:07] <@Shuku> AND I HUNGER
[23:20:14] <@Shuku> sinistarscream.mp3
[23:46:05] <@Shuku> OK, so I read during and after making dinner, finished that
[23:46:21] <Lord_Tenma> you finished it already?
[23:46:26] <@Shuku> I am good at read
[23:46:33] <@Shuku> trust the me
[23:46:38] <Lord_Tenma> heh
[23:47:03] <Lord_Tenma> did that give you ideas? perhaps ones to flesh out the actual magician process in your backstory?
[23:47:06] <Satori_Komeiji> :3
[23:47:11] <Satori_Komeiji> Hi everyone!
[23:47:14] <@Shuku> Hi!
[23:47:49] <@Shuku> But yeah, I will say the power imbalance is something Haiiro is rather irked at, which is a reason why she worked like a demon possessed when it came to magic (at least, up until the magician stage)
[23:48:18] <@Shuku> (where she now just works V:)
[23:48:25] <@Shuku> And I'll say she actually DOES have talent
[23:49:17] <@Shuku> As for why she worked like a demon possessed, all she had to do was remind herself that this is literally all she has if she wants to do what she wants to do
[23:49:26] <@Shuku> unless she wanted to die an early death anyway
[23:49:53] <Lord_Tenma> exellent
[23:50:16] <@Shuku> Such was canon even before this, but what I read brought those thoughts to the forefront~
[23:50:35] <@Shuku> Oh, and I suppose it gave me an excuse to give Haiiro more normal magic
[23:50:54] <@Shuku> If powers being too strong are a thing, well, we'll touch up on that when we get there :V
[23:51:08] <@Shuku> Also, thanks for showing me a good doujin :3c
[23:51:50] <@Shuku> ...wait
[23:51:55] <@Shuku> you mean there's two parts
[23:51:57] <@Shuku> welp
[23:52:13] <@Shuku> I THOUGHT IT ENDED THERE AND THE LAST WAS A BOOK BACK
[23:52:35] <@Shuku> I guess I really will have to press the next button until the end
[23:54:00] <@Shuku> oops~
[00:07:03] <Lord_Tenma> yeah
[00:17:46] <@Shuku> And THERE we go
[00:18:02] <@Shuku> NOW I can't hit the next button anymore, so I must be done
[00:18:56] <@Shuku> In any case, Haiiro's mind is...probably very resistant to nightmares and torment, at least now that she became a magician
[00:19:09] <@Shuku> It's a good thing her drive lasted long enough to reach that point
[00:23:03] <@Shuku> Though even before, I'd say it would resist the stuff quite well
[00:23:49] <@Shuku> 'you'll never be able to stand a chance against anything outside, no matter how hard you work'
[00:23:57] <@Shuku> PROVE IT, ANNOYING NAGGING THOUGHTS
[00:24:08] <@Shuku> OH WAIT YOU CAN'T I'LL DO IT MYSELF
[00:24:35] <@Shuku> A good thing she was surrounded by normal humans for the most part V:

LATER

[21:12:58] <Haiiro> In other news are you people stopping me from finishing Haiiro
[21:13:03] <Haiiro> it's starting to feel that way :(
[21:14:15] <Satori_Komeiji> DL
[21:14:16] <Rosette_Garrand> No
[21:14:18] <Satori_Komeiji> D:
[21:14:20] <Rosette_Garrand> We can start with you now
[21:14:22] <Rosette_Garrand> :D
[21:14:27] * Rosette_Garrand rolls Satori_Komeiji under the rug
[21:14:37] <Rosette_Garrand> It's time to finish what I started
[21:14:38] <Rosette_Garrand> Koishi_Komeiji:
[21:14:45] * Rosette_Garrand shoves her into the front
[21:14:53] <Rosette_Garrand> Finish your part so we can get to nitpicking at things that you missed
[21:14:55] <Satori_Komeiji> :O
[21:16:50] <Haiiro> Logs of interview can be provided in mere seconds~ (after I finish going to the bathroom V:)
[21:20:44] <Koishi_Komeiji> i have foooood
[21:21:02] <Satori_Komeiji> Koifood. :>
[21:21:12] <Satori_Komeiji> Goes well with Koifish and Koifruit.
[21:21:36] <Koishi_Komeiji> so wait what kind of reform are we doing?
[21:24:07] * Rosette_Garrand puts the topic aside
[21:24:11] * Rosette_Garrand points at the waiting customer
[21:24:29] <Rosette_Garrand> Haiiro
[21:24:57] <Haiiro> The moment you showed me the doujin, we lost track~
[21:28:29] <Haiiro> And considering we were planning to go to the end with this, I'm waiting to work on Haiiro until the end of this~
[21:28:55] <Haiiro> And with you not doing anything I'm stuck in limbo because Meira just jumps ahead 2 miles~
[21:29:44] <Haiiro> And until that gets resolved I WILL WITHHOLD SOMETHING SAYUNO SAID THAT MIGHT BE RELEVANT
[21:29:52] <Rosette_Garrand> Okay then where were you both?
[21:29:52] <Rosette_Garrand> I can slow down
[21:29:52] <Rosette_Garrand> And limit myself to a question at a time
[21:29:52] <Koishi_Komeiji> alrighty. Now
[21:29:52] <Koishi_Komeiji> since you did read that
[21:29:59] <Haiiro> ...god damn it internet
[21:30:23] <Haiiro> anyway go on
[21:30:28] <Koishi_Komeiji> Describe to me what it was like to become a youkai (IC please)
[21:30:49] * Haiiro gets on the Haiiro mask, wait gently
[21:33:05] <Haiiro> OK, that's something personal to ask, but it feels important enough to explain, so I suppose I should! ...Wait, do you mean 'the road to becoming a youkai', 'the actual process', or both? ...Or the aftermath? Or all of them?
[21:33:54] <Haiiro> ...And I realize I like talking about myself but that's neither here nor there.
[21:34:24] <Haiiro> Or, maybe it is...
[21:34:51] <Koishi_Komeiji> Please start from the beginning. From when you decided to become a youkai to the end of the actual process
[21:35:09] <Haiiro> OK, so my life's story. Deep breath...
[21:37:25] * Rosette_Garrand is now known as Random_Hungry_Youkai
[21:38:20] * Random_Hungry_Youkai is now known as Random_Hungry_Lion
[21:39:21] <Haiiro> ......Oooo K. So, one day, while I was trying to find ways to keep myself from dying by actually being able to defend myself via acquiring books, I came across a reference to, well, becoming a magician. And since humans are kinda, ah, fragile and delicious to most of Gensoukyou, I pondered. ...For about 10 seconds. I realized it meant giving up what it meant to be human, among other things, but what I had to gain was a lot more than what I had to lose. As such, I began pursuing the process with much more vigor. Of course, it took me a while to actually find it. Definitely don't find that kind of magic at the drop of a hat.
[21:40:05] <Haiiro> I mean, I don't even have a hat, so I couldn't drop one even if you asked me to. Unless you gave me one. I could drop a hairband, but that's not really a hat. Anything before I go to the next part?
[21:40:51] <Koishi_Komeiji> please continue
[21:46:56] <Random_Hungry_Lion> Haiiro?
[21:47:17] <Haiiro> (Words! Infinite words! And a little checking here and there.)
[21:49:55] <Haiiro> OK. So, since I couldn't quite, you know, find the process, I continued as normal with the added bit of 'find this, because it will make me much better than any spell ever could, in the long run'. Lots of importance on that! And then, well, I found it! Stole it. I'm pretty sure I stole-returned it at some point after that, but that's not related. And...well, that's some pretty high level stuff I was diving into. Like, this stuff wasn't a spell, it was a ritual. Two rituals. ...Three rituals, the big one being the combination of them. Couldn't work on that stuff easily, since even though I'm smart, this stuff is like geez. I had to outright vanish at THAT point, if I was to actually do most of that stuff. Not outside of the human village, but...in the human village. There's a few crannies people don't go in there. A lot of it didn't really require tools, but rather...processes. Like for the 'abandon food', I had to starve myself a bit. A lot. Tempted to eat, didn't.
[21:53:03] <Haiiro> And the other one, 'abandon temper', which I don't really understand, I still like to think it's because old people are cranky and spellbook writers have a strange sense of humor, made me have to find a damned good hiding place because I had to sit completely still. In addition to other stuff. That I had to remember, because god damn, one wrong move and boom start over the days long process. Really hated that, I'm bad at sitting still. Remembering things, sure. Still failed that part a lot though. At least it petered out instead of exploded.
[21:55:06] <Haiiro> Either way, I did manage. My will is stronger than most, since I left myself two options. And really, there's only two options. Die before my time, or after.
[21:55:53] * Random_Hungry_Lion is now known as Saber_Lion
[21:56:32] <Haiiro> I'm gonna die eventually, unless I find that Hourai Elixir. And I'm not sure if I want that. What's an eternal flame if it runs out of fuel, you know? ...But yeah, the former wasn't a choice since if that option is picked, my time would be impossibly boring, and that isn't something I'd accept, so there's only one path! Forward!
[21:56:58] <Haiiro> Anything before I go on? Next part is the actual process feeling and aftermath.
[21:59:39] <Haiiro> This is also to make sure you're not reading a wall of words all at once. Let me tell you, that can get to someone.
[22:00:14] <Haiiro> Not that I didn't manage. Still find it easier to break it into parts though.

[22:00:25] <Saber_Lion> ....
[22:00:26] <Saber_Lion> HMM
[22:00:30] <Saber_Lion> I SMELL RQ!
[22:00:31] <Haiiro> (Oh, internet messed up)
[22:00:50] <Haiiro> (If you said anything, I missed it.)
[22:00:58] <Vampire_Maid> I had to grab a snack
[22:01:01] <Haiiro> (Yes, even if I said anything after it. My pings are wack.)
[22:02:05] <Vampire_Maid> how did it feel? The change itself
[22:03:41] <Haiiro> That was next. Let's move on~
[22:07:40] <Vampire_Maid> I meant physically
[22:08:34] <Haiiro> OK, I did the abandon food bit first. And let me tell you, it felt inhuman. I felt inhuman. And on a base level, it was pretty, well...scary. On a base level. I mean, I realized I was finally becoming what I wanted, and got better, but it's like...I can never go back, my mind said. And then my mind said 'wait, I don't want to go back', and things cleared up from there. It still felt weird and inhuman, but since that was the end goal, it made working on the next bit easier. I no longer had the urge to snack. It came back a few months later when the rush wore off, but it wasn't because I was hungry, more because I could enjoy myself more, and food still has taste, and the occasional taste is nice. Either way, it was like...hm. ...Like being in school for the first time? True love? It was one of those strange feelings--what, physically? I didn't lose my stomach. Think I grew wings? Wings would be pretty cool.
[22:09:01] <Haiiro> ...I guess not being hungry was a physical thing. And damned if I wasn't worn from everything prior.
[22:09:18] <Haiiro> Should I continue on the track I'm going, or...
[22:12:35] <Haiiro> ...or should I state that being a magician is more of a mental feeling affair and then continue without prompting? ...Nah. I'll wait.
[22:15:22] <Saber_Lion> Well Vampire_Maid ?
[22:15:36] <Vampire_Maid> hmm
[22:16:02] <Vampire_Maid> have you met any other magicians? Do you plan on meeting any?
[22:16:41] <Saber_Lion> Marisa
[22:16:50] <Saber_Lion> She's met Marisa
[22:17:03] <Haiiro> If I met a magician that became a magician, I'm unaware. I've met a magician PROFESSION a few times. I met Marisa, actually. Bad terms, got upset with her. After the rain incident.
[22:17:14] * Vampire_Maid duct tapes Saber_Lion's mouth shut
[22:17:22] <Haiiro> Underline that after, since it's why I was upset.
[22:17:33] <Haiiro> Like, how do you people do it...
[22:17:40] <Haiiro> after, right?
[22:17:44] <Haiiro> OK. That's it.
[22:17:53] <Haiiro> Really gotta take notes.
[22:18:03] <Haiiro> Control, U...
[22:18:03] <Vampire_Maid> and do you plan on meeting any?
[22:19:13] * Moriya_Suwako ([email protected]) has joined #Interview_Room
[22:19:49] <Haiiro> ...Control U...oooh, scary--plan on, of course! Eventually. I plan on meeting lots of people. Comes with the whole 'getting outside' thing. Magicians might be one of the most interesting, especially if they took the same path as I did instead of being born in it. Time will tell. Just need to make sure my head doesn't get bitten off in the meanwhile.
[22:21:03] * Saber_Lion is now known as Kanako_Plantsaka
[22:21:18] <Haiiro> I realize most magicians don't go outside, but I hope you've put together the fact that I'm not a normal magician. Far from ordinary, if you will~
[22:23:17] * Satori_Komeiji is now known as Remilia_Scarlet
[22:24:58] <Haiiro> ...You know, now that I think about it, an ordinary magician is OK to be upset at, isn't it...
[22:25:05] <Haiiro> Huh.
[22:25:08] * Haiiro shrugs!
[22:25:47] <Vampire_Maid> What does the village think about your particular brand of magic? How do you use it?
[22:27:40] <Haiiro> I hope they don't think about it at all, because that might imply they know who I am. Time has passed, I haven't grown older. Some might remember me, even through my little makeover. I think one guy almost caught on, actually. ...And I really have been bold lately, haven't I?
[22:28:15] <Haiiro> ...OK, maybe they think something about it. I've snuck in and vandalized a few things. All wore off though. They probably think ill of it for that reason.
[22:28:53] <Haiiro> But, whatever. Planning on repairing someone's tea set, so I guess it's OK on some ends too.
[22:28:57] <Vampire_Maid> Have you ever considered telling anyone?
[22:31:51] <Haiiro> ...I have told someone, but that was considering the fact that I had stuff on her to prove she wasn't a normal person that might tell, pretty sure Rosette isn't human, AND that she was new to the place to begin with. ...Oh, and I think Zuren too, but he was tiny back when I was around there, and I think I made it clear I didn't want it leaked, and he was practicing magic, too, sooooo....
[22:32:04] <Haiiro> I've told a few people. But none I knew back then. That, I'm not considering.

[22:32:25] <Haiiro> Hell, I should mention Haiiro isn't my birthname.
[22:32:31] <Haiiro> ((Internet, please.))
[22:34:02] <Haiiro> ...In fact that might have been a mental thing that occured as a result of the change. I was no longer what I was, so...
[22:39:16] <Haiiro> ...That's a tangent. Go on! Unless you said something. Everything blanked out for a few minutes, but I talked anyway.
[22:40:15] <Vampire_Maid> What is your favorite place to go in gensokyo?
[22:41:49] <Haiiro> That's a fun question.
[22:42:29] <Haiiro> Mainly because the answer is 'places I haven't been'. If that doesn't count, I'm quite fond of my study room. It's where the magic happens.
[22:44:46] * Vampire_Maid is now known as Sakuya_Izayoi
[22:44:47] <Haiiro> ...Oh, and maybe Rosette's shop. Nice place. Teehee.
[22:44:58] <Haiiro> Mostly the first one though.
[22:46:06] * Kanako_Plantsaka is now known as Meira_Tanaka
[22:47:06] <Sakuya_Izayoi> where would you like to visit? Maybe a place you've heard about or seen from a distance?
[22:51:56] <Haiiro> I'm going to assume you mean 'the place I'd most like to visit', since the answer to that one is 'everywhere I can go without dying'. To answer that one...mmm...I've caught wind of Makai being a fun place. Or, at least a place good for magicians. I wonder if it's true.
[22:52:12] <Haiiro> The old hell also sounds like a nice place for parties.
[22:52:27] <Haiiro> Oh, and Youkai Mountain, because I'm not allowed in.
[22:52:40] <Haiiro> And maybe Mari--I'm getting carried away.
[22:53:43] <Sakuya_Izayoi> where would you most want to avoid and who would you most want to avoid running into?
[22:58:01] <Haiiro> The netherworld. Unless I can visit it without dying. Then the other end of that river. Unless I can visit THAT without dying. ...Reimu's shrine, I guess? And there, Reimu. At least not until I have my fun. Then, frankly, it'd be in the basement with Flandre. Or so I hear, at any rate. Oof. If she's as deadly as rumors make her out to be, I'd like to not waltz in there. If she's actually not bad, then I would honestly struggle to answer that question--no wait, I've got it. The human village, in broad daylight, in front of my parent's house. With my parents, at the front door.
[22:58:09] <Haiiro> THAT would be uncomfortable. I'm sticking with that answer.
[23:00:35] <Sakuya_Izayoi> Do you have any long term goals besides the study of magic?
[23:03:02] <Haiiro> I thought you'd never ask! I mean, you should be able to figure it out based on what I've said. Exploration! I'm going to explore every corner of Gensoukyou that I feasibly can! And when I'm done, or maybe before, depends, if I get strong enough, I'm gonna cause an incident in the name of fun. For me.
[23:03:24] <Haiiro> If that makes my presence known to my parents, well, some things are more important than other things.
[23:03:36] <Haiiro> It'd still be uncomfortable to be at their front door though.
[23:06:00] <Sakuya_Izayoi> Last question. Do you ever intend to tell your parents and what would you do if they found out?
[23:07:26] <Meira_Tanaka> ((Also do you remember the name they called you by))
[23:09:48] <Haiiro> I thought I answered that one. Well, the first bit of that one. And for the latter, I'd know I'd put my hidden human village visits on hold for at least a very, very long while. I'd tell Rosette...somehow. Might affect her sending money or something. If anything actually happens after that, that'd be a 'when it happens' sort of thing. ...And I DO remember it, but I feel that something's keeping me from saying it right now. Mind block. Happens sometimes. Like when my house was getting mentioned earlier. In fact, I think that's why I was here. Hrm.
[23:10:14] <Haiiro> ...Well, I do remember the first part I answered with a 'no', if you still want to know.
[23:11:05] <Haiiro> ((Look at me, I handled saying 'I don't actually have a name before all this' in IC somehow, along with house difficulties. Yay!))
[23:12:09] <Meira_Tanaka> ((So... my turn now?))
[23:13:06] <Meira_Tanaka> ((Also, Haiiro, give me a complete log as well~))
[23:13:11] <Meira_Tanaka> ((For permanent record))
[23:13:39] <Haiiro> ((I'll give you the log when the action dies down, no point splitting it all in parts))
[23:14:49] <Sakuya_Izayoi> i have a verdict
[23:15:48] <Haiiro> Guilty? Not Guilty? The part where someone comes barging in with new evidence?
[23:15:59] <Moriya_Suwako>  HOLD IT!!
[23:16:10] <Haiiro> Yeah, something like that.
[23:16:12] * Moriya_Suwako runs in with a green bag just in the nick of time while Phoenix is holding is head in despair
[23:16:17] <Moriya_Suwako> *his
[23:16:39] <Moriya_Suwako> I got what you were lookin' for, pal! *panting*
[23:16:46] <Haiiro> (10/10, you knew exactly what I was thinking)
[23:17:38] <Sakuya_Izayoi> your character is well rounded. The personality is superb and the backstory is creative. It's still a little rough on the general details though. Just add a bit of polish, maybe not in the physical written backstory, but in your mental notes about the character, and you'll be perfect. You have, however, exceeded the passing requirements with flying colors.
[23:17:43] <Sakuya_Izayoi> at least in terms of the character interview
[23:18:00] <Sakuya_Izayoi> character depth and exploration can always be expanded
[23:18:41] * Sakuya_Izayoi is now known as Koishi_Komeiji
[23:19:38] * Haiiro takes off the IC mask (for a bit, or for a while, either or!)
[23:20:31] <Haiiro> Huh. Not quite sure what needs polishing (except maybe getting the bits I'm still missing down), but OK~
[23:25:27] <Haiiro> I suppose it's your turn then, Meira_Tanaka
