Ike absolutely needs to poke his nose where it doesn't belong, I'm just saying. 8D

Oh I know. And the “you just need to pray harder and it’ll happen eventually” schtick won’t work with him.

Good luck with Mr. Stubborn here.

(I am also terrible and not adverse to him dying if things come to that, but then there's the caveat that Hajime would be like...100x harder to deal with.)

He is at this point far from the WORST problem she has to deal with but also he needs to. Calm down. (I’m thinking about seeing if the producers will just ... clone him another kid, since they keep genetic material of all citizens. In the end that might make things worse but it might get him off her ass long enough to kill some of the other trouble makers lol)

[insert some sort of incoherent keysmash here] (Granted, his child was naturally conceived on the island and I don't know that they'd have the genetic material on file since she wouldn't have been a citizen, but there's an interesting idea that would absolutely blow up some way, somehow...)

Lmao yeah I think that’s how it’d end up blowing up - like they don’t have the kid on file but they’d have both Ike and the kid’s mom, right? But then the kid won’t be exactly the same and Circe might not be able to cover all those sins with “her new body is better.”

And with his plot skill, danger sirens going off with something being terribly wrong along with it's been ten years etc etc, cruising for a disaster...and it may not be that evident that he's doing this because of the child! Like he's been a moping sadsack for years, yeah, but the wandering may not be immediately obviously tied to that. It probably took him a few years to come to this conclusion.

(Also what if the producers just really love this poor sad loner thing he's got going, like that is highly marketable among certain sections of the population.)

The wandering might not be tied to that directly but too many people are wandering already (Jaina) and he COULD find something that will cause her even more problems (literally anything on god’s isle) and a baby would distract him. Also if the whole broody Heathcliff thing is such a hit with viewers the LAST thing she needs right now is to end up having to murder him.

Okay, now I'm just excited for this thing to get started to see how disastrously everything shakes out.

Right like, is there a single person in this entire town who isn’t going to be a huge inconvenience to the worst woman in the world? No.

The producers forgot to bring in a fresh crop of cooperative jerks, looks like!

And there was no way to predict that the Arcana would stack the deck with the types of people who fight an ocean just because.

[personal profile] desperate_times_right 2019-05-13 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok so it actually is possible for the producers to clone Ike’s child through the genetic sample taken when she was reduced to her component atoms (!) so like if you want to make this thing crash and burn even faster it’s a go. (I don’t think that Ike is the one of them at risk of dying in this case though lol)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2019-05-13 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
hahahaha holy shit

Can we put a pin in this and see how things shake out a little bit/how messed up he's going to be by everything before having to hit that button? (This may only intensify his suspicion, as now he's gotten too close etc etc and then suddenly gets what he wants...or it just totally distracts him like she hopes.)

[personal profile] desperate_times_right 2019-05-13 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Works for me. It’s expensive so she’s probably going to have to argue about it with the producers for a bit anyway so if things go to hell another way they can have shut it down for monetary reasons.

(Also it should make him suspicious lol like the only reason she thinks this way is that she’s never really cared about another person, this is like shoving a pacifier in a baby’s mouth to get it to stop screaming)

Excellent, we should keep it in reserve. And like...that would probably shut off a revenue stream of Sad Kittyman videos and remixes so then she'd probably have to convince them that the new videos with kid would sell better, etc etc...

(That is like the most terrible analogy here, ahahaha, oh man, Hajime will probably end up just making Chloe a stiff drink should she wander into his restaurant after the Jaunt.)

Right like the only reason she thinks it might fly is that Acantha is going to be hitting traumatized sadboy territory soon so she can argue for fresh material with this guy. Also “proof” that the gods are real could stir up some drama if they want inspirational stuff I guess. (And as an added bonus it might convince Stone to die lol)

I think at this point Chloe might give whoever manages to take her down a medal.

This is going to be such a disaster of a Jaunt, I can't wait.
