Let's Break it Down! (Kazumi Q&A)

[Soshi Kazumi]

If anyone has any questions about the computer nerd/ninja/dj drop em here!

[Hotaru Tsuyo]

My posting schedule made for some very sparse, if pleasant, conversations, but I enjoyed watching the slightly mysterious DJ.

Speaking of the mysterious, what was going on with Kazumi's quiet period noted in character profile before popping back on the scene recently-ish? Did the character work out as you'd planned, or end up with some surprises for you?

[Yūrei]

I had a very enjoyable time interacting with the ninja DJ! Yūrei really appreciated having a Scorpion samurai she was close to given her backtstory. I'll also second the question about Kazumi's quiet period.

[Boogiepop]

Thank you for joining us once more and playing the game!

My apologies for wrapping up the Cheung plot earlier on as it was rapidly approaching the deadline of Day 9. That said, Kazumi really smashed through that investigation on their own!

[Hotaru Sakura]

Kazumi was really cool from the outside, I'm sad we didn't get to interact more

As always time posting with you remains quality no matter how much quantity I get and Tsuyo in general was a pleasure to read!

short answer: Rehab

Long answer:
As for backstory bit Kazumi was, as stated, a bit of a wild child for many years. During this time they had a partner a woman named Aoi who they fell deeply in love with. She was an artist and a creative free spirit who brought out much of Kazumi's artistic soul. However she also unfortunately lead them down a path of addiction the two feeding off each other and spiraling until Aoi passed away from a fatal overdose. This incident and heartbreak lead to Kazumi seeking help from the Temple of Passion and going into rehab for the bulk of that year. It lead to them becoming more careful and while they still played at clubs and some underground parties they no longer get up to their old habits. Kazumi is still emotionally tied up with losing Aoi (Lost Love) but is beginning to heal as they referenced in a scene with Yurei.

I found Yurei to be both incredibly wholesome and cute as well as quite entertaining. Thank you so much for bringing out a dimension in Kazumi I wasn't sure would hit the screen.

Thank you for all the hard work you do! and there is certainly nothing to be sorry for GM time is a precious resource and I was more than to have as much as i did!

I likewise enjoyed Sakura and wish our paths would have really crossed in the game! Though close as they both are to Yurei I'm sure it'll happen eventually!

[Susumu Yakumo]

Ninja DJ!

Just like that idea really. Really neat concepts to mash together! I knew OOC Kazumi was a shinobi, so I thought it was extra hilarious when Yakumo asked him if he trained with the Shosuro.

And thanks for being a part of the concert! It was a fun time!

I'm sorry for dropping the ball on further interactions. I had a hard time managing a lot of stuff this game and I regret that Kazumi ended up on the backburner for me on what I was able to manage doing. But I really enjoyed our scenes together, and how easily Yakumo and Kazumi could talk about stuff with eachother, especially music and work.

What made you decide on the concept of a Scorpion Ninja who moonlights (or should I say Moonshades ) as a DJ? I recall you had some ideas for a ronin?

That's alright! I really enjoyed their scenes too, it just seemed like our posting schedules weren't super in sync this game! I do sometimes wonder where their story could have gone it they had gotten to know eachother better but I very much enjoyed the time they got to share!

Now as for your question the dj thing really just sprang up as a side effect of A. Shosuro slicer technique working for making music and B. It was just a fun fluff use for all the points being put into use computers.

My original idea was much more just along the lines of computer slicer and ninja but when we learned we couldn't take clan ir 2 paths as ronin I abandoned the idea and just made a in house ninja. Admittedly most of my best skills were not used during the game because of this but it was a concept I had fun with which in the end is what matters most!
