Nakahama

First off a wonderful hat off to our amazing GM team for putting together a fun and enjoyable game!

Second thank you to any of the players I had a chance to thread with interacting with y'all was great fun! A special shout out to Ochiba for giving me the romance anchor I needed to stay tied to the game. I love our vibe and making sure I hit our replies kept me opening the sight!

Also thank you to Kaiu Nagisa for being my mechanics bro to talk shop and romance with!

With that out of the way:

Hello! Welcome welcome please come in have a seat and ask any questions you may have. I am an open book! RL No Oni did their best to keep me away but I managed to stick around to the end. I didn't get to explore as much as I would like or make all the connections that seemed interesting but I had a great time with my little corner of green carp.

Ryosei felt very Crab, very grounded. Was the prodigal/black sheep part just because of his past substance abuse issues? Or did the family disapprove of the fleshcraft career, or....something else? I've enjoyed seeing black sheep this game who weren't basically going "I was just too rebellious and cool for them, so whatever." XD

Glad you found an anchor to stick with the game to the end. Will he be expanding his shop at all in the future? Joining in on some of the other businesses that are getting started in the surge of investment to come?

Thank you for playing with us! Always a pleasure to have you.

Kanna was so amazed at how cool, chill, and super-nice Ryosei was, arriving at his shop all ready to tout the benefits of what the Dragon wanted to provide to the island and... he just accepted before she could get into it.

Watching him date Ochiba and Ichitaiyo was cute too.

I never caught up on what was the story behind his Black Sheep?

I, too, enjoyed Ryosei and Nagisa being mechanics bros and romance talk buddies.

I have no questions, I did want to thank you for playing, though. The little scenes we had were really nice!

Thank you for returning to Banner and playing with us!

Despite RL, I feel Ryosei's presence was felt with his relationships and as the Fantasy Fight champion! He beat the dreaded Nari-chan meta! Are there any plans for him to climb out of the Black Sheep pit or is he mostly happy with where he is? Or perhaps the future project is tied to that? Anything you wanted to do or touch on more, if it wasn't for RL no Oni?

Thank you! I enjoyed Hitomi as well! Sorry our thread got lost to the wayside She is certainly a connection I wish I could have delved deeper with.

His black sheep status comes from the years of substance abuse, partying, fighting, sleeping around and then came to a head when he struck his mother while in a state. With the status his mother had striking her could have been a death sentence, easily grounds for expulsion from the clan entirely but he was instead simply disowned and sent to make his own way. It is his greatest shame.

Moving forward he has some big projects he is working in but will otherwise be business as usual and trying to balance an arguably crazy Mantis girlfriend on top of it all!

Kanna was great fun and I loved their short little scene together!

Black sheep Answered above but after the events of Hida Segunda Ryosei was left with severe PTSD and self medicated with drugs and alcohol. For years after he returned home he went on drug fueled benders involving committing crimes, sleeping around indiscreetly, and other dishonorable behaviors. It came to a head when he struck his mother and instead of being expelled was merely disowned with a message that they hoped he could find his way again.

And the same to you! I always enjoy having little threads with you.

Thank you for running! And thank you for the compliment I had a ton of fun with the events and surprised myself by winning a few! XD

He is currently at ease with his black sheep status. He is working towards doing better but in his eyes it is deserved and he isn't gunning to try and get back in their good graces but if his family reached out to him he would be happy to be on good terms with them again.

I definitely wanted to just generally be more active. These days I find it hard to find time and or energy to sit down and do much more than one reply per thread per day most of the time which leads to either very slow or very short threads. Talking with more people, talking with the people I did more deeply, being involved in all the events. I just wished I could have done more. But I am happy that I played all the way through, made some fun connections and had some fun, some sweet, and some meaningful scenes.
