So if her blackmail hadn't triggered, and she hadn't ended up with one of her big lover boys, what would Narumi have thought/been doing going forward?
Also, huge thanks for the great scenes with Ishi. We had lots of stress thanks to them but it was also great fun for me and I hope for you as well.

Re: Narumi Q+A
Honestly? Tpo Murato and i actually toyed with the idea of steering our characters together before the game started but nothing ending up coming from that.Matsu Ishioka wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 11:20 pmSo if her blackmail hadn't triggered, and she hadn't ended up with one of her big lover boys, what would Narumi have thought/been doing going forward?

She might've pursued Yoshi if tpo had been more active. There wasn't a character more wrong for Narumi at first glance, and that was exactly the appeal. Yoshi was everything she thought she wanted to be, and everything she was on the path to becoming before she was unceremoniously shipped off to the miai to be "saved" from that fate. So!, serious envy met with intense attraction plus he was completely game to skulk around and stick their noses where they didn't belong, to wheel and deal and fence and swindle? Heck yeah. The friendly and reserved matchmaker mask she wore day-to-day had no chance against him. Why be that when she could slide into her clan's less-savoury tendencies, without having to pretend anything? Especially when she spent so much of the miai pretending to be a better samurai than she actually was. It was exhausting! Yoshi brought out the side of character I wanted to play, the character I'd written her up to be... that really didn't fit in the setting and overall I couldn't figure out how to make work. Which kinda sucks, but it is what it is.
Honestly with the significant honour hit she took during the game, her criminal side would've probably won out and she'd have leaned more heavily on that route post game, but that idea also relied on who she ended up with. She genuinely wanted to become a better person for both Bo and Ishioka and turn into the person she was pretending to be, for either of them. I can't say for sure if that would've been true with a different final suitor or not.

Oh. And if he'd pursed her she would've been ALL OVER Raizo like melted butter but I'm really glad he didn't because their friendship was a fucking riot.

As I noted in my thread, I read Narumi's intro and was like, "well, NATURALLY he's going after her," and then the character refused, leading to a friendship I SERIOUSLY enjoyed getting to write half of.
