Comments

[hydrothermal]

I have been failing at threads lately but are there any updates on either Duchess or Musica '^'

[itsjustafayz]

first impressions? '3'

[unquestion]

... what is the title I don't understand...

[lackspresence]

+500 Musica is a kissing monster
+100 Musica is a kid :T

uhhhhh, lately Kuroko's gotten more of a feel for Duchess's prrrrobable bad points and honestly, he's got no idea why she's making a big deal about being called grumpy! But it doesn't lessen his opinion of her at all, it's more of a, "oh, so she's like this," kind of thing. '-'b

ANY UPDATE HERE? /o/

[lackspresence]

'3' his first impression hasn't really changed in a negative or a positive way, it's still, "Oh, this girl is a child! she's a tough kid '-'?" and his opinion is p much a positive one, since he hasn't seen much of her doing anything bad. Whenever he sees her, she's doing something that kids normally do (snowball fights, also being a little king, etc). he feels a liiiiiiittle guilty still, because of the strings game, though.

Knives' opinion on Sage!

[lackspresence]

.. UHM. I. I think it's a movie reference. u_u EITHER IT'S A MOVIE REFERENCE OR IT'S A SUPPOSED-TO-BE-MOVIE/PARODY REFERENCE it... refers to sequels, basically, I think... I just. I hear it a lot with my friends s-so I just put it up there /o\;; but I don't know the original..... thing... with it.

WAS THAT A QUESTION.....

[unquestion]

AS MUCH OF A QUESTION AS YOURS WAS I GUESS!!!

UM Kuroko's thoughts on the Jackal/Celeste/Shark... thing...

[lackspresence]

He's... what Kuroko is aware of is that there is some sort of problem going on with Celeste (although he hasn't connected that the celebration cake was part of the problem). As far as he's aware, it was originally because of the strings game and probably some choice or some argument Celeste got into that made Jackal want to leave. He doesn't know if Jackal's staying in Sage still because of that event, or if there's something else going on, but he kind of.. didn't really want to ask, because if it's the former, it's Celeste's business, and if it's the latter, it's Jackal's business and he doesn't want to make Jackal feel obligated to share or anything if he's uncomfortable.

As for Shark, what Kuroko knows is that Shark is. . . generally more irritable than everyone else? But Shark is a good guy, because he's the one that goes to Sage to check up on Jackal and try to get him back! And from what he can tell, Jackal likes Shark, so Shark is the least likely candidate for someone Jackal has a problem with, if it's one particular person. Since Kuroko's doesn't want to butt in, he's trying not to dwell on it much. \o__O/ BBBBUT. The last time Shark went to Sage, and from what Kuroko could and did hear, it sounded a lot like "Jackal has to come back and it doesn't matter what his opinion is", so he's really unsure about Shark in that angle. But Shark didn't yank him out or anything! So he didn't think too much about it.

Basically, he's seeing some of what's going on with Jackal and Celeste and Jackal and Shark, but he doesn't see what's going on with Shark and Celeste, so he doesn't really get the whole thing and while he's vaguely got the idea that maybe there's something deeper going on in Celeste than just the strings game, he doesn't really know how deep it gets.

SO, LARK, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH BUNNY AND CURRENT OPINION OF THAT RELATIONSHIP, SHARE IT WITH THE CLASS.

[unquestion]

okay so like linking this even though it is not a relationship thing"> AND THAT IS A START BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT IS FROM BEFORE THEY BECAME TOUCHY AGAIN

so, currently, most all of that still stands, along with basically using him as a security blanket because Bunny is concretely attached to him and that's a really nice reassurance for Lark, and then also on top of that he's starting taking cues from Bunny the way he does with March. because Bunny is like the only one with um ideas of team? except Lynx I need to thread with Lynx more but FOR THE MOMENT

Bunny is the one he's listening to for things directly related to the concept of teamwork, because he is the one Lark trusts to have someeee idea of what are "problems" and what should be done to fix them in regards to Celeste

CURRENT OPINION OF THE RELATIONSHIPppp??? um Lark is very self-aware so he has some understanding of everything said here/in the linked comment, though with a skewed perspective

but Idk about an opinion, Lark isn't very opiniony

turn all the deco teams into basketball teams

[conjoins]

I'd just like to let you know that you don't have to trick me to get me to app goalies with you

GOSH ALRIGHT I GUESS... WE'RE TALKING POSITIONS? because matching deco teams with KuroBasu teams would be..........very hard to say the least CELESTE IS KIRISAKI DAICHI THOUGH THERE IS NO CONTEST

Byzantium
Ciel WOULD... SMALL FORWARD, as the smallest person... I don't actually know the heights of everyone but I'm willing to bet Diana would be a boss center, because Wonder Woman on defense is best offense. That phrase got convoluted but you know what I mean. IIII don't know enough about Byzantium's team dynamics to say much else, uhm. Tempest as the point guard, Dirk as the power forward, and Chrono as the shooting guard? And Ptou as another... idk, shooting guard. SPECIALIZATION??? On something...

I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT BYZANTIUM SO IDK THE DYNAMICS I'M SORRY u_u I'm thinking they're more based on defense than on offense? but that's...as far as I've got, hurr. Captain is either Tempest or Chrono, and I think they'd have a strong center but a little weaker on the outside?

Canary
Break would probably make a great center as the tallest except he's also...bli..nd... but discounting blindness and also height I'd put him as a forward!? UHM. Karen as small forward, she looks like she'd be good at that /o/ Davesprite as the point guard and captain, Lua as the shooting guard, Yosuke as center and Kyou as a forward.

I think they're pretty good all around, but their center would be the weak point. They're probably better at offense and their defense is a little lacking because everyone wants to go on the offensive instead of on the defensive, IT'S OKAY BECAUSE EVEN IF THE OTHER TEAM SHOOTS AND SCORES POINTS, THEY'LL PAY THEM BACK!!!!

Cardinal
SHIRAZ IS THE GREATEST CENTER OF ALL, THERE IS NO CONTEST jesus I bet he could touch the hoop if he just reached up. Cider is the small forward, whereas Enkidu is the power forward, and Brandy is the point guard. Vodka is also a point guard, and Obi (I don't know his nickname) is the shooting guard.

Their defense is p much perfect because SHIRAZ but they've got a pretty decent offense, too! Vodka is the captain.

Celeste
March would be better fitting as the small forward, but he makes the plays, so he'd be a point guard.. and also he stole the captain's position, Bunny is the center, Lark is a defensive position but I haven't. Decided what that is yet. actually I guess it would be the shooting guard... Shiki is the small forward tho. Shark is....... the power forward. Jackal would be the team manager because I don't really think he'd do well on the court, just because... lots of running and jumping and stuff and robot legs and also giant horns? I can't imagine he can run fast, and he'd get a foul in every turn because of his horns.

The play is basically an all out offense with cheating and dirty plays by March/Shark, and... Celeste's kind of like Canary in that they offense more than they defense but I'd imagine Lark and Bunny would suffice as defense... Canary doesn't really have a tall and therefore very efficient center, but Celeste does, is the difference here. At least I think Bunny is tall? That's what I've been led to believe..

Copper Rose
Gilgamesh is point guard, Ishtar is power forward, Kirei is center.. Dave is the shooting guard, Lion is... is.... the.....small...forward............................ actually can we make Dave the small forward and Hyuuga the shooting guard and have Lion be the team mascot, that sounds a lot safer.

Gilllllllllgamesh would be captain, I'm sure he wouldn't want anything less. Center is solid ... WHEN KIREI HAS MOTIVATION, I GUESS... they're pretty good all around though, I'd imagine.

Fawn
Steel is the center, Janus is the captain and the point guard, Knives is the small forward, Mercury is the shooting guard, and Witchita is the power forward. They've got feisty forwards but more than anything, their power is in that they've got a strong defense and strategy with them. /o/

anddddd breaking this up into 2+ comments so i don't lose everything like last time (sobs)

[appleofhiseye]

I...don't know what to ask AM I THE COOLEST POINT GUARD EVER?!

[conjoins]

Iris
Sebastian Michaelis is the center, Kit is the point guard and Hikaru is the power forward, which makes Bazett the shooting guard and Lumiere as the small forward. Ellen is also a shooting guard. Captain is Kit, and they've got a...balanceish thing with offense and defense. Their center is strong, but unlike both Canary and Celeste, it's more that they're better at defense than offense.

Lilac
Musica is the center, Cleo is captain and point guard, Angel is shooting guard, Jeanette is small forward and maybe Maya and Bella can be cheerleeders. . . their offense is godawful just from traditional positions with the forwards, but Cleo and Musica probably double-time on that, so. /o/

Saffron
Malcolm is the center, Leo is the small forward, Miyoko is the point guard, Jade is the shooting guard, Nishi is the power forward, and Yayoi is .... team.. manager? Captain is probably Jade, I'm thinking. Malcolm makes it look like the center would be strong, and defense is p. good. Probably focus more on defense, but still have a good offense.

Sage
KYRISS JUST LEFT, SO.... Kaito is probably center? And Apple is the point guard, Ginger is shooting guard, Elliot is small forward, Chiharu is the power forward and Kuroko is a specialist like he always has been /o/ (forward). Uhhh.. SAGE'S STRATEGY IS THAT THEY BUS THEMSELVES THEY HAVE A STRONG OFFENSE provided the game is something they can accept. Uh. (unsure). Center is pretty weak on account of everyone probably being around the same size/Kaito is not as big as the other centers. Actually, height is severely lacking in our team, so .... that's a serious disadvantage /o/;;;; uhmm, I'd think that Apple and Shirayuki and Kuroko are p good with offense, whereas Chiharu and Ginger focus on defense with Kaito. we still suck though \o\;;; Also I forgot to mention it here but WE DON'T HAVE A CAPTAIN right now bec....ause...... Kyriss is the would-be captain and Apple and Elliot are pretty.. on par when it comes to yelly things and having an actual direction for the team to go in, and everyone else is dumb. (it's true)

Shell
How tall is Sion I feel like Sion is the tallest. If Sion is the tallest, he's the center, but otherwise, it'll be Tamaki. Tamaki would be the point guard (Sion's and Tamaki's positions are swapped if Tamaki is taller), and Hikaru is a power forward. Mint is the small forward and Teddie is the....mascot.... whoever shows up as the newest Shell will be the shooting guard. :|a Focusing mostly on defense, prrrrrrrobably not actually that great with offense. Captain is... probably Sion, I feel like he's the most responsible of the group.

Teal
Aqua is the center (or Jin is if he's the tallest), Jin is the point guard (otherwise, it's Aqua), Coco is the power forward, Apollo is the small forward, Noah is the shooting guard, and Mochi is either the mascot or another point guard, depending on whether she's being a fox or not for the match. Captain is Coco, and... I feel like, as Coco's a forward, they would try powerhousing even if they don't actually have the physical capabilities other teams have (orrrr something), but I feel like they'd be p good all around?

[conjoins]

BUT THEN AGAIN I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW A LOT ABOUT EVERY TEAM AND BASKETBALL, IN THE END, IS ALL ABOUT PHYSICAL TALENT ANYWAY SHRUGS

assign MAR weapons to everyone in Celeste /o/ not everyone in Deco because that's too much.

[conjoins]

THE COOLEST!!! 8|b!!!! there is no better point guard I'm sorry Hyuuga it's true

I don't know what to ask you either WHAT DOES SHIRAYUKI THINK OF... KUROKO... I GUESS....

[appleofhiseye]

BEST TEAMMATE, YOU UNDERSTAND ME BROOOO. Kuroko is the easiest teammate to get along with, and he doesn't bristle at everything she says and just accepts her and that is a really really nice thing for her to have. She knows she can be herself around him and he won't judge her and it's okay. He is mostly the one giving her any concept of team and helping her to try and step up for everyone else and be tough, or she'd just go stay at Cardinal forever with Zen and Obi. ilu bro '^'b

So Kuroko r u crushin on anyone besides your basketball

[conjoins]

HE'S... not crushing on anyone in particular, the closest he could probably feel to crushing on someone was the awkwardness when the kissing game happened and Cleo kissed his hand '^';;; that was weird. Also, Shiki kept pressing him about whether he ~liked~ Duchess or not, so .... that was weird, too. ROMANCE IS NOT REALLY A THING THAT HE'S THINKING MUCH ABOUT? His thoughts are more, basketball basketball basketball basketball sagesagesagesageTEAM OH FRANDS. tbh I'd be okay with Duchess/Kuroko because that is a cute ship, but Kuroko's more shrugggggs frands. Unless something super big (bigger than a kissing game) happens, he probably won't think about it \:U/ DUMB BASKETBALL BOY.

so what about you Shirayuki, are you going to choose Zen or Obi or someone else. /eyebrow waggle

[appleofhiseye]

NONE, they are all booted from the island!! That is to say, she isn't particularly thinking about romance, despite the fact that it keeps popping up. She's gotten a memory of Obi confessing to her, and a memory of someone...writing her fanfiction about her, Obi, and Zen...and Tamaki and Mint and Coco have made her heart go doki doki a few times ///. But none of those are really crushes; she just gets easily embarrassed and flustered, it happens! Coming to a conclusion like "oh maybe I like this person" is the furthest thing from her mind. She's working on keeping herself together too much to think about it. So +1 to the "unless something super big happens, nope".

Questions are hard...do you uh, haveeee songcalls for characters at all? teams?

[lackspresence]

What are songcalls...

[appleofhiseye]

MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU THINK OF A CHARACTER OR TEAM OR SOMETHING...

[lackspresence]

OH. OKAY. Uhhhhhmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I can't really think of any right now, because i've been listening to basketball songs for a while @_@ looking at my phone... Don't Mess With Me for March... Shattered by Trading Yesterday for all the broken people in deco :'D mostly Leo though. Anddddd..... Actually the way Handlebars is rapped makes me think of Kuroko. (i want to see him rap now.) Just Be Friends for Musica because everyone just wants to be your friend musica not your girlfriend OK......

if you apped a second/third, who would it be and where would you want them at?

[appleofhiseye]

oh goshhh Shattered is my favorite song, and it totally fits all the sad people sob ;; Uhm I don't actually want to app a second or third or anything like that so I am fine with just my one!

REVERSE if YOU apped a second who would it be and where would you want them???

[unquestion]

wow I apologize for that heinous html fail

MAR WEAPONS ARE SUCH BULLSHIT THO ugh okay I'm not properly inventing any even though I should I'm just yoinking shit w/e w/e

March gets at least one Ring Dagger fucking obviously. really though he probably has more like five. AND THEN. AT LEAST ONE GHOST ARM I THINK. that whiptail thing Idr what it was called. a couple Nature ARMs, Kouga's quicksand trap and Wind Cutter, maybe, but no Guardians. and Para Claw, maybe... actually yes def Para Claw

I'm tempted to just be like "fuck you Bunny gets Babbo HE USED TO BE SHIROU" but that's too lazy even for me, so. a simple Holy ARM, and. m...ore... Ring Daggers...? no one fucking uses swords in MAR just give him a bunch of sword Weapon ARMs anyway. and Saint Anger and Air Hammer. I'd give him body hardening/strengthening Nature ARMs but. he doesn't need them. :'D

Shark gets a l l of the fucking Darkness ARMs, especially the pain ones because CHEATING BODYSNATCHER. Darkness ARM mastery. he wouldn't even need other shit, especially since Darkness ARMs are usually literally right up his tactical alley.

Lynx would get things like Cat Teaser and Peta's moon projection thing and Snowman and then also like. UNDINE. TORPEDINE. Crazy Quilt. even though sitting still doesn't suit her she still definitely strikes me as a Guardian user...

Jackal also a Guardian user, with a few Nature, like Bubble Leo... basically just every animal Guardian for obvious reasons I think. no Weapon or Darkness, though he might carry a Holy even though he wouldn't sync with it well.

Lark has his canon set obvs

does Kuroko have any least favorite people???

[lackspresence]

I HAVE APPED A SECOND PERSON she is Fujino Asagami from Kara no Kyoukai and she's a crazy psychic killer who feels no pain \:D/ I don't really have any particularrrrrrr place for her in mind other than Not Sage, so anywhere that doesn't have a crazy person yet (Shell, Lilac, wherever) so that she can take up the resident crazy spot would be good. Actually having another crazy would be good too. '-'b WHATEVER IS GOOD.

Fujinooooo would probably not take too much time because she's a minor antag, so AFTER HER I'd ideally like to app Anshin'in-san from Medaka Box (12quad skills, 817 of those skills have been shown in canon, she is being skill lossed :D) and.... again, I don't really have any place for her that I really really want, either.

also I can't think of anything so do you have any songcalls for any person/team in deco

[lackspresence]

UHMMM.... probably everyone he hasn't met, but the only person that's made any sort of negative impression on him at all is Shark, just because he doesn't..... know how to deal with Shark's hostility because it's not March's cageyness or anything, it's HE LEGITIMATELY DOESN'T LIKE KUROKO/SAGE but why what did we do awk....ward...s.......


Out of his favorite people, Musica is his least favorite person because husbando keeps cheating on me

LARK'S LEAST FAVORITE PORTRAIT :U

[unquestion]

HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE \o/ there are a few he doesn't care about but those are all at the same level of neutrality with him...

if Kuroko could hold a basketball tournament with deco teams what would the match-ups look like

actually no I take it back Frayed's is his least favorite because he can't avoid getting thrown in when she runs games

still doesn't mind her otherwise tho really
