[hello_hunnies]

Autumn likes Dragonfly a lot! Kunzite is a lot of very...hnm...relatively calm, pleasant personalities. He doesn't have anyone to get dumb boy with except Bones who isn't the same kind of dumb boy as Autumn. So hanging out with Dragonfly and falling into a very comfortable and fun dynamic was great for him! And since then, Dragonfly is just someone he likes to be around. They can have a lot of easy fun between them. And when Dragonfly was down, it was something he could handle. While things like all that do bother Autumn a bit, he's quickly become fairly good at repressing it due to Snow being a mindreader. He literally can't let himself think dark thoughts often because it might upset his teammate! So he's gotten into a habit of positive thinking. He did his best and feels like it worked. Which makes him feel good cuz helping feels good! Lots of fond bro feelings for Dragonfly. HANG IN THERE BUDDY

For Zelos. Well, at first he just did not want to care very much. At the same time, he didn't want to hold his being a replacement against Dragonfly either. In the end, at least to start, he treated Dragonfly the same as he did most everyone else. With maybe a little extra teasing in there due to his youth.

But Dragonfly is also--more than anyone else on the team they have had--a kid. Dove at least has the history of fighting with her. Dragonfly is soft and normal and shoujo! And Zelos could somehow tell. So he well. Ended up having a bit of a bitch session at Tsuzuki and a lot of it was for Dragonfly's sake. Tsuzuki was upset and felt like it came out of Zelos feeling wronged and unloved but it really wasn't. It came about because he did not want Dragonfly get fucked up. Zelos had actually kind of given up before on getting his way. He was resigned to dying in games, might have even started to agree to self sacrifice because he was so tired of fighting against the others. But no--Coral has kids. That won't fucking do. They need someone to stand up for them.

And he just sort of despite himself started looking after him a bit. In his own bitchy Zelos way. Dragonfly somehow became the person on Coral he most wants to protect. Partly because he doesn't think he can protect himself, partly his youth. And maybe a little fondness for the brat. The fondness really started increasing a lot when Dragonfly started to call him big bro. He remembers that as children, his sister called him Brother. And then when they were older...she stopped. She called him Chosen, like everyone else. When he was much more proud of being her brother than a Chosen. So being called brother hits Zelos in a place that's actually meaningful to him, even if he actually believes he's a terrible brother. Its kind of a sad feeling but a happy one too. Even if he thinks Dragonfly doesn't really mean it.

So yeah just. YOU'RE A DUMB KID and I'm going to protect you :| Stop making me dere. Geez.

How do you think Hikaru will react to a Coral death?

[pitching]

Autumn's awesome buddy points went up with the positive attitude so ITS A GOOD THING TO HAVE. And, oh, big bro. :( You're such a good guy. You better get really good memories soon because you're a good big brother. OH I REMEMBER ANOTHER THING NOW. Zelos searching for revival beads? Yeah, that is +100000 points of cool too. Lots of respect

CORAL DEATH WILL BE BAD. SO SO BAD. There will definitely be tears when it happens. I mean, even though they have revival beads, the shock would still be pretty bad. If they revive, it'll lessen the shock a bit, but he probably will follow around like a duck for a while. Depending, he might try to keep a happier outlook for the teammate because of Autumn's talk, but it might also be too much for him to do so. :( (but I look forward to it anyway cuz I'm terrible :B).

I know Hound and Ginshu really don't care about dying, but why does Zelos care so much? I mean pre-Dragonfly he was like that too, yea?

[hello_hunnies]

Hahahaha. In canon Zelos actually is suicidal. So it does seem weird, yeah? But the thing with him is--he likes things to be on his own terms. He hates not being in control of a situation. And even though he didn't start off remembering it, he did come from post canon where he is less suicidal. He doesn't entirely like himself anymore but he still wants to live after the first Tales of Symphonia. And in canon, he sees a benefit to his death. His sister becomes Chosen and he escapes his miserable life.

In Aather he gets brought back. He doesn't ESCAPE anything by dying. He just gets a lot of pain, worrying the people who care for him for whatever reason. There is no benefit to dying because he's not self sacrificing for the most part. He'd die for Dragonfly, Dove, and Raccoon cuz they're kids. But even then it would still be bad. It'd still hurt, they'd be sad, no one really wins that. If they killed off team, at least then it's not I let my teammate die atop of I let someone die.

He does want to be Booked, which is more like suicide in Aather terms. He'd be gone, can't effect anything, can't suffer, can't feel joy. Just not be there. So in that way he still is a little suicidal, if only because he feels like he's no good for Coral.

A lot of it comes from dying in his first game too. It was the first kill game so most people were just like. Oh spend points to attack :D okay! Just coming in, Zelos went. ...points to ATTACK? Yeah uh no. And apparently not everyone thought that way and dumped points on Coral and. He and Fox died! He did not expect to die. Or even be badly hurt. So ya know, just caught off guard with terrible life ending pain. Then reviving! It was a very difficult experience for him, he did not take it well, and he doesn't want to repeat it. Especially when the aftermath was difficult with everyone badly effected. Dying in the first game on his like first day pretty much. Just kinda soured him on everyone ever--it's a big part of why he has that I don't give a fuck attitude and has very few off team friends.

man I did go on huh

Hikaru has to pick someone not him to have a heart game on Coral. WHO PICK? You can do the same question for Kunzite too.

[pitching]

IT'S OKAY, this stuff is interesting to me. Aaah, people put in so much thought into their characters! *_* I never managed to beat Tales of Symphonia (or get very far in the first place sob) but now I want to after playing against Zelos and Lloyd..

Also best start to games ever. 8| Zelos's luck kind of sucks a lot. . .

HIKARU DOESN'T WANT TO EXPLORE ANYONE'S HEART. Now he's kind of nervous to see what he'd find. Like he always felt like Ginshu was hiding something, but he didn't expect those sort of things in her heart so! Now he has to question everyone elses. I think Hound is probably the one he's most curious about because oh my god, he gives off the same vibes as Rabbit. Something is wrong here?! His memories can be bad enough to where he could end up passing out sooo . . . uh. Yeah. 8[ He has a feeling it'd be pretty bad.

For Kunzite, lol. I think Autumn and Liberty strange enough. Autumn because a) if people are going into his friend's head, he doesn't want people messing around in it! b) he is also curious because he's such a positive guy even though BAD THINGS HAPPENED TO HIM.

And then Liberty because he just comes off as odd to Hikaru. :| He can't explain that either but geezus that guy. SO WEIRD. But he still likes him all.

SAME QUESTION except instead of Kunzite, just use anybody from the teams/knights. 8D Since you're so friendless....kekeke.

[hello_hunnies]

For Coral he'd pick Dragonfly cuz we. He is pretty sure it's super safe. SHOUJO HEART! For a knight he'd pick Lloyd. There would be some terrible stuff in there but. it's Lloyd. Nothing can fuck up Lloyd for long, it is the core of Lloyd's very being. So it's a safe bet you can't actually ruin Lloyd even with a heart game.

Hikaru gets clothing skills back. And all the materials etc he wants. What kinda clothes does he make for people? DETAILS BY PERSON WOULD BE BEST i.e. what he designs for each member of Coral. He can design for others too.

TELL ME HIS *FASHION*
