Kaiu Nagisa Q&A: The Last Nagisa Standing

[Kaiu Nagisa]

Had a lot of fun, folks. Thanks for all the fun moments and memories!

Willing to answer any questions anyone might have.

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

Hunting other Nagisas arc when

[Kaiu Nagisa]

After the escape room kidnapping arc!

[Suzume Hitomi]

<3. Sorry I didn't get Hitomi out to the garage after that one Day 0 scene. Nagisa is just a solid, grounded sort of character and perfect for this game. Thanks for the generally chill energy you bring to these, and the cutest romance of the game (at least in my opinion...not that there's a prize or anything).

Any plans to expand her shop as the Island's economy grows? Or will she aim to ignore the changes?

[Kaiu Nagisa]

She might try and get a slightly bigger garage but she’s pretty happy with what she has now. But whatever comes her way, she wants her shop to remain in Upper Nakahama.

[Bayushi Hinata]

Were you actually worried Ichitaiyo was a doomed character that was gonna elad to Nagisa's heart breaking? Or did you always believe in the power of yuri to undoome her by the narrative?

Also dude share your arms routine and I'll share my abs routine we could RULE the beaches!

I wasn’t worried at all. I can play around with the banter and stuff, but actually thinking things were doomed isn’t really a me thing to do.

Arm routine: lift heavy things as part of your job.

[Tamori Kanna]

Into the Nagisaverse!

Thanks for being among the sensible folks to keep Kanna grounded, and for winning that plush-shark for her!

In hindsight, is there anything you would have done differently with Nagisa? Made her more courtly, or more bushi?

[Kaiu Nagisa]

I probably would have taken at least a rank of Heavy Weapons way sooner but I’m happy with her the way she was.

I kind of had a Hank Hill type in my mind’s eye when I made her so, this made a lot of sense to make her the way I did.

[Yoritomo Ochiba]

Two Nagisa enter, one Nagisa leaves, this is Nakahamadome!

It was great having a sensible character grounded in the island for folks to bounce off (much like a sports car bounces off a curb). And I'm thrilled she found a special someone, probably due to acronyms.

Do you think she'll ever travel off-planet (perhaps to hunt crime and keep an eye on another samurai)?

What is it about practical engine mechanics and the like that draws her attention of all the possible Kaiu Engineer options?

Any lasting effects from the Nagisanap?

Off planet travel is not off the table! But she’d need someone to watch the shop or something.

She used to fix up bikes and cars with her grandfather and that skillset transferred to military service as she was part of a crew that took care of military ground vehicles. Also it’s a grounded and very hands-on kind of career.

The kidnapping definitely… Put some need to feel like she’s actually in control of her life. I foresee a little bit of tension from keeping the feelings of powerlessness to herself.

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

I hope it is not too late, but I am so glad I decided to make Ichitaiyo wander into that open scene. I never expected such chemistry could just spark, and how things can just radically change for the characters by being wrong drunk at the right time. In ways, Nagisa was who saw Ichitaiyo at her widest, from being a professional with Honoka to being a drunken poet, there is something just terribly fitting for the pillar of a woman to become Ichitaiyo's place onto and her home made person.

And your particular RP style just brings the wit out of me, as a dance of words went around the two at all times, with short swift posts, like the footwork of a tango. I hope I bring something cool outta you too!

Here's to headcanoning and after-RP what happens after!

Full disclosure, I had made that scene actually in hopes to get at least maybe one of the newer players I hadn’t interacted with in but generally open to whoever stopped by. So I was very successful in that regard. The previous week had been pretty rough for me, I needed a creative outlet and actually get into the game.

So thank you very much for having Ichitaiyo come into that open bar scene. It made this a very memorable experience for me.
