Botan's getting a week off after that ordeal >.> suicide attempt for her would get around, bitches feeling bad for insulting her, everyone glad she's alive, but she needs a MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER and I don't think Kurama can get her out of that xD though it depends on who followed Kurama as he hauled his ass to that pool. Everyone's all, "How did Kurama know?" and Kuwabara, out of nowhere, is just all, "That's the power of love."

No, not for a while, probably a couple mini bosses to deal with first before then. Once Kurama does find out, I think he's going to have to train like he did for the Dark Tournament, but he definitely can't leave his mother or Botan unattended since they ARE targets. Koenma might want to bring Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei in on this since Goshikuro is a threat that may be higher than Toguro ever was, but Yoko may want to handle this personally and correct his mistake.

I was GOING to bring up the mouth to mouth but I thought it would be REALLY weird lol. But totes he's gonna get that water out of her lungs and EMBRACE HER LIKE NO HALF-DEMON HAS EVER EMBRACED A REAPER IN A HUMAN BODY BEFORE!

Don't worry about it then.

I hear you, and I think that maybe as she's in that process she does have glimpses of her past. I'm in agreement.

I think it might be too soon for Yoko to become involved until Botan becomes Kurama's girlfriend, in which case he WILL take over if his base form isn't enough to get her out of harm's way. It's the little things. Drowning could work in the school's pool, mostly because I don't want Botan to be preparing to drink a cup of corrosive chemicals from a lab. God forbid >.<

It should be complete by then. By any chance do you want to get back to the pm's or is tonight a bad night?

Sum up your week in roleplaying in just 3 words

I'm back, bitches.

So killing Botan in a human form would cause her spirit form to slowly deteriorate, because human or not, it was still her being existing, and even if she wasn't really a human from the start a death is a death? Yeah, I get what you're saying, so this might hit home for her especially once Kurama saves her by the skin of his teeth. Though I'm certain if she was mid fall and he HAD to get to her, he'd need to transform into Yoko out of dire need to have the speed to get her in time and not break every bone in his body trying. Still, tragic shit dude. I think Yoko threatening anyone who threatens Botan means a lot more when she CAN be taken away from him.

I'm working on it now. How long will you be around tonight?

Sapphire Roses

Kurama is their mutual attitudes, even if Yoko's is somewhat suppressed because a human belongs in a human world, so yeah, Yoko would probably survive if Shuichi does die, and they could split, but like you said I don't think Yoko is in any hurry to leave the guy. So you want Botan to permanently die if she's killed as a human? I'm trying to understand exactly what you see for her should anyone succeed in killing her.

Sapphire Roses

Usually you text. Don't expect you to spontaneously pop on, you know ;3

I get what you mean. Even in things like Dragon Ball Z, death is no consequence since there is always a tool to bring people back, so you care a lot less when people expire. Botan's physical form could be destroyed, but as for what she is, I think she'd just revert to the spirit she had been before. Her physical form was just for investigation purposes, and I doubt Koenma gave it to her so she could go on dates and fall in love, just do what was expected of her. This may open her up to feeling more like a tool than a person, even if she knows that Koenma sees her as more than just the help. As for Yoko, I think he is open to death, especially since he is within Shuichi now. I don't think he'll die with Shuichi, they may just end up as two people. Botan's death should still be of concern, since no mortal mind should approach the idea of death lightly because "I'll just be a spirit again."

I say that Botan should feel more like a human than a reaper while this investigation is underway. It's a touchy subject. I think without her soul being threatened, only her physical form would pass, while who Botan is would be picked up by another reaper. Still, should be scary to her that someone can make her take her own life like that without her even being wholly aware, you know? I believe she'd still be scared of that, but that's just me.

When you come back, elaborate more on that. It sounds like such a good idea; the event making Botan's true feelings emerge, whatever they may be, could make this horrific event churn out something amazing afterward. Maybe it encourages Botan to really, truly live, since among other things she hasn't really done everything she's wanted to do, or have what she wants to have. I know we talked about the horrific event with an unnamed man doing something so horrid that Botan broke down. This also seems like the type of thing that has Botan open up with just as many tears involved.

I like the idea of her crying into his arms too much >.>

A new lackey could be in order, since villains like this tend to have a few of them to go through before the big bad. We just need to discuss how he will differ from this first one, but that's a discussion for another time, and we have more progress to make before then.

That's alright. It'll be there for you when you next log on ;3

We could perform the shopping activity later, I think, after Botan's depression is dealt with as a way of helping assure Shiori that Botan's mood swing is now over. It helps her get a good change of scenery, and Kurama could also get her something after the ordeal. He won't want her to think he's treating her like a child, but what she went through was frightening and he wants to treat her. Maybe after shopping he takes her out for lunch, too. I think the reward of it should be left after her ordeal, while in the meantime Kurama is trying to understand Botan more and more as the week goes on. I hope I'm making sense?

Sapphire Roses

A case of someone getting too big for the seat they're in. Making moves without explicit permission shows that they're getting in over their head. Disciplinary measures would need to be taken. If the guy isn't outright killed, he'll probably wish he was, but given the nature of this character I'm willing to bet that's the last they see of him.

Goshikuro wants him to suffer, so the lackey does things he's in a position to do, without being certain of Goshikuro wanting it other than "He hates Yoko and this would upset Yoko, therefore it's genius to do this." when in actuality he had exposed Goshikuro too soon, since Yoko is going to pick up on that energy sooner or later. Goshikuro can be killed easily outside of his full strength returning to him. It's too soon to risk being found out, and that lackey is going to cost him everything. People like him can be replaced. It's just a matter of how much Kurama can figure out. Being close to Botan as he helps remove the corruption from her body with his own energy--similar to how Botan helped revitalize the withering plant in the greenhouse--could help him solve that puzzle.

After you, m'lady.

Sapphire Roses

Yes. We could make it so that it was the lackey's call to do it, without instruction, so if he fucks up it's entirely on him. And as punishment, I'm sure Goshikuro has enough power to destroy him, or severely torture him even now. It also gives him away too much and Kurama/Yoko figures out who it is, even if they can't believe him to be alive.

I see. So we need to decide on how Kurama figures it out AND saves her. Are we both in favor of the lackey being an idiot and basically gloating to Kurama about how powerless he is, which leads to him revealing that Botan is in danger? Suddenly the mood changes and mannerisms make complete sense. Botan was being influenced and Kurama, in his own arrogance, didn't believe that Botan could be swayed by someone skilled enough to have avoided detection from Kurama thus far. So he saves Botan just in time, confronts that same student later only to find out that he's normal again, and that the lackey had either left his possessed form or jumped to another student to keep them on their toes?

Either way Botan's going to be flustered with how many apologies she'll have to make to Shiori, because that's the future mother-in-law and you don't want to offend her :3
