Crow "nice tatts" Hogan | cawnviction

:3c

[intercalaryninja]

Crow senpai~

[cawnviction]

Crow doesn't know how old Tsukikage is, but he'd guess the guy is younger than him.

There's just no denying that Crow thinks Tsukikage is capable, capable of doing what needs to be done to physically protect Reira. Capable of doing what he was hired to do. Tsukikage takes his job and role very seriously, to the point that Crow worries if Tsukikage's entire personality has been shaped to the point of consumption by his duty. He's seen a couple of bits of humour but he knows distressingly little about Tsukikage as a person outside of his duty to Reira, and Tsukikage seems to not care about himself at all. Does the guy even have any personal wants that aren't related to his duty?

And that does worry Crow.

What if Reira gets taken away from Ryslig? What will Tsukikage do then? When the thing he built his entire life around gets pulled out from under him, how will he cope? That's stuff Crow thinks about.

Tsukikage is (presumably) old enough to make his own decisions, and Crow is in no position to parent him, but while they're here in Ryslig, he's been encouraging of Tsukikage of expanding outside of that and having the chance to figuratively let down his hair.

...But as much as he doesn't want to admit it, Crow also trusts Tsukikage enough that he'd be one of the first people he'd ask if there's anything he needs to be handled discreetly.

[intercalaryninja]

Awwwwww Crowww~ You worry about him *gushes quietly. And you trust him. He'll honour that trust and reassure you not to worry. He's only been with Reira for a few months. He's lived before then and he'll live afterwards/

Does Crow have any thoughts on Light? I realize they went to a bar and Light let him buy the food, but 'bad date' doesn't count.

[cawnviction]

HAH! Hey if Light ends up buying him dinner later, it may as well be one.

Oh, he has plenty of thoughts, mostly because one of Crow's focuses recently has been to build a personal network of contacts of people who know things and are actively investigating Ryslig.

Crow's not a heavy Network user, but Light's post caught his attention. There's plenty of people who ask questions on the Network, but Light presented himself as polite and careful in how he words his responses. Crow went and read the other replies to the post before he responded, and figured that Light would be a good contact to make based on his questions he was asking of the other people there; he figures Light may be another person he could work together with in order to collate information about Ryslig and try and find a way to undo the monsterism and go home. To him, Light seems the sort who can come up with ideas that could result in leads for Crow to pursue, as well as someone who could potentially investigate in areas Crow can't; Crow doesn't deal all that well with the classier types of people (local and monster) and is well aware of it. The claim/implication that the information will be used to help others certainly helps Crow's willingness to work with Light.

Aside from bringing their conversation away from other prying eyes, the main reason Crow wanted to meet in person was to assess the guy, as well as put a face to the screen name. And, well, he just plain prefers to talk to people than to type; he's not exactly the fastest of typists :|b

Based on Light's manner of speaking and his body language, Crow pegs him as a guy who's had a comfortable life and good upbringing (and to be perfectly honest, a small part assumes Light's never been through any kind of "real" hardship). This is mostly because he associates Light's kind of politeness (outside of running businesses) as a well-off/rich person's thing; Crow grew up in a slum, where that sort of speech mannerism would get you beaten up and mugged. Crow's found that most people don't try to investigate monsterism until after they've started changing, which is why he thinks Light likes to be prepared so he's not on the receiving end of unpleasant surprises since he's asking questions now. In any case, that kind of proactivity is what he's looking for in another investigation buddy. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Crow worries about the shock Light'll get once the changes and the hunger starts rolling in, and whether he'll be able to handle it.

He's noticed that Light's offered very little about himself personally (granted, Crow's been steering the conversation back to 'business' most of the time, so that opinion will probably change further in the thread), but Crow just figures he's the more private sort who doesn't offer anecdotes unless asked.

tl;dr Crow thinks Light could potentially make a good 'work' partner, but he's not entirely certain they'll be close on a personal level. At least, not until Crow figures out what Light's passionate about.

[andeatit]

Light will wear his best suit just for him.

He has a pretty good idea of Light, minus knowing that he's a psychopath, but I would be doing a bad job of playing him if Crow did know that.

Light has had a comfortable life with the most hardships coming in the past year/year and a half. Ryslig is by far his worst experience, and he hates it. The lack of personal information mostly comes from the need for professional information. He will talk to you about justice, Crow.

[shoalful]

I know he and Flame Princess just met, but any thoughts?

[cawnviction]

Hard to say much since we're not that far into our thread, but Crow's impression of her is similar to the way he thinks of Loki; a bright eyed kid who's eager to play and try new things. Which he'd definitely oblige!

He's heard of her temper from Loki, though he guesses Loki was probably exaggerating. Probably. He's not going to try and find out.

[icefallen]

idk what it is with her and thieves lately

[cawnviction]

Crow really likes Rio! He might have thought she was a little harebrained on their initial meeting, but she seems outgoing and proactive in her pursuits and problem solving! He thinks he would legit really enjoy hanging out with her, even if their interests may not necessarily align. Good head on her shoulders, cool enough that Crow could banter with or snipe at without serious repercussions, bullies Ryouga, what's there not to like?

She actually reminds him a little bit of Aki too, in the sense that if there's something she's determined to do, she'll do it. But he also gets the feeling she's quite scary to get on the bad side of...

He can see she's got a protective streak over her brother (actually I can't remember if they've established the sibling relationship IC or not, but even if they haven't, Crow wouldn't be surprised, just based on how they treat each other) and thinks its nice she looks out for him, even if Ryouga seems be grumpy about it. Maybe a little overbearing, in that regard, but hey, that's family, right?

Basically, Crow thinks Rio's got it together for the most part and is like "yes I would agree to hang out with this girl in a heartbeat."

[pundulum]

[cawnviction]

There was a very long gap between their last couple of meetings, and Crow's basically... totally missed out on all the awful things going on for Yuya. So his impression of Yuya is still, hey, it's this real friendly kid who really adores Yusei. Aside from his friendliness, Crow can see Yuya wants to help, even when his troll powers at the time of the expedition weren't yet mastered. He has a good heart, Crow thinks.

Yuzu's told Crow a bit about the stuff that went on in Yuya's childhood, and he can absolutely see why he'd adore Yusei and Yusei would love the kid in return. Thing is that waaaaay back when Crow first came to Ryslig, his opinion of Yuya is actually heavily coloured by the fact that Yusei chose Yuya over (not actually his brother) Jack. Crow can understand why, and if he were put in the same situation, he... honestly would've done the same thing. But there's a very, very small part of him that thinks, "Jack died because of this kid."

Crow likes to squash that part of him deep down because he knows it's just him being an asshole and Yuya doesn't deserve that. It does unfortunately mean that Crow hasn't gone out of his way to learn more about Yuya the way he normally would. But that asshole wall will likely go down the more he gets to know Yuya as a person, rather than "the kid Yusei killed not!Jack for."

[abysmalactor]

dude

[cawnviction]

this guy

So Crow's had a surprising number of interactions with Shingo that have left him coming away with a positive opinion of Shingo. Even if Shingo also often ends up as the butt monkey whenever they interact. But he's just dreadfully fun to tease! Crow finds his reactions funny and Shingo doesn't seem to take it to heart so that's like, an open invitation to continue, right?

But Crow also has a good opinion because it's clear Shingo has some pretty good skills -- at least, when he was an arachne -- and he can believe Shingo's claim that he's damn good at darts, which he wants a demonstration of when Shingo's not, you know, holding Crow's head so it doesn't fall apart. That said, he has no idea what Shingo's really passionate about... or if he even has a thing he has strong feelings about. Is Shingo a skilled but directionless teenager? Crow could believe it.

bro

bro

Everything previously mentioned about their relationship still applies: Yusei being his bro and Crow unquestionably helping and supporting him etc.

At the moment, Yusei's the only real reminder of home he has that's present in Ryslig aside from Blackbird (still in pieces) and his cards (which sadly don't get nearly as much use as they once did). And Crow subconsciously uses that as a reminder of why he's putting so much effort into trying to undo the monsterism and find a way home. Yes, the main reason is to go back to his kids, but sometimes it's hard to keep that vision in his mind when they're not here in Ryslig with him.

Which is a contributing factor in why he's so bothered that Yusei's seemingly accepted being a monster and thinks of himself as a monster. He's afraid that Yusei doesn't want to go back to NDC. That if when they sort out this hunger business and can go home that Yusei just... won't want to. And if Yusei doesn't want to go home, then... it's just harder to keep his spirits up while he's trying to get back to his kids.

On top of that, he worries about how the monsterism and their forced killings is eating away at Yusei's self worth. He doesn't know what worries him more, than Yusei isn't showing the effects of it that much, or that if Yusei did, whether that's a sign of Yusei opening up more, or that it's really, really, bad. At the same time, he's aware that mentally placing that importance/burden on Yusei (even if Yusei's not aware of it) isn't fair on Yusei, which is part of the reason he still hasn't moved back to the nerd house despite no longer having PvP hunger. But at the same time, being away is also doing a number on his psyche because there isn't really anyone who tells him, "Crow, no," and keep him in check the way family does. Not that Yusei does it (often), but just having Yusei's presence there would more likely lead to Crow second guessing particularly bad ideas than if he wasn't.

On top of that, Crow's always held Yusei up as 'the better one' out of himself and his brothers, morally, which is why, on his rare moments of open self doubt (both in canon and in Ryslig), that he thinks highly of Yusei's belief in him. Despite all the crap going on, he still views Yusei as better than him in that regard, which he doesn't realise probably adds to Yusei's stress since Yusei doesn't believe the same of himself.

Lots of unknowns. Lots of hopeless situations. And Crow doesn't know what he can do to support Yusei other what he already does.

[engage_the_enemy]

[darkduelist]

hi

[cawnviction]

Yuto, the serious shota--

For reals, Crow doesn't really know much about Yuto, and hasn't yet figured out how to get him to talk more freely. He understands Yuto is friends with Shun, but unlike Shun, Crow hasn't worked out what Yuto's interested in, or what bothers him. It's something he'll work at in further encounters.

That said, Crow also genuinely had absolutely no idea that their past couple of encounters seemed to have bothered Yuto as much as they apparently have. If Yusei is approaching him about it, then it's clearly quite serious. It's something he'll apologise about next time they meet, for sure.

[bound_skyward]

Crow for Kain? (first impressions anyway!!)

[cawnviction]

get off the road, man!!

Crow's pretty genial towards Kain, but the moment Kain asked whether he'd have to fight Crow and that he would've preffered to have a weapon on hand, Crow became pretty guarded. What kind of place did this guy come from where that's the reaction he has to Crow. Clearly this guy's accustomed enough to strange looking people that he has a very calm reaction while also not immediately attacking him.

Still, Kain seems to be taking things on board pretty easily, and Crow can appreciate that; he'd rather not be on the other end of a weapon when this guy gets his hands on one.

[whiteofcrime]

hello handsome I mean

SO HOW ABOUT THAT OPINION...

[cawnviction]

bats eyelashes

Crow sees similarities between Kaito and himself, and he'd be someone Crow wouldn't hesitate to take the piss out of simply because Kaito could probably give it back as good as him. He really appreciates Kaito making those glowy glass orbs (free of charge I'm presuming?), and he pegs Kaito as the sort to go CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, much like Crow himself.

Previously, he thought Kaito was kind of a flighty broad, not wanting to get pinned down and possibly the sort to ditch people in trouble. Hemlig's turned that around. So now he thinks Kaito's a flighty broad, but reliable when the situation's life-threateningly serious, which is honestly the only time it really matters
