To Rokoa: Okay I've been overruled on giving you a spontaneous hug out of probably justified fears that you'd break the ILM. So uh, can I hug you?
[give hug with permission]

To Kappi:
Oh, also... Rokoa will probably go "How dare you, you're a ROGUE" and well... thinking on it, didn't you try because you're a rogue and rogues hardly ever feel that sort of connection? The reason why you tried was because you're a rogue not in spite of it.

How dare you think I would even think of Rokoa as a porn star. A fine lady like that, you need to romance her. Take it slow, and offer her a contract as an Action Star, and when she's retired, a director/musician/producer like Clint Eastwood.

What, please, Rokoa, he'd have to be an amazing actor to lie with his body language, and his stutters, and everything when he was communicating with us. Our little Kappi does have such a crush on you. A big one. And why not, you're an attractive lady! And an individual who has still managed familial connections with the Hive. If not a crush, it's admiration. We've been establishing psych profiles on our staff members here and his reasons for attraction line up perfectly with our relationship interpretation cores! A powerful woman, capable of anything, despite not fitting in completely with the Hive, still has that connection and sense of abandonment. Poor Kappi wants to belong so bad. To a Hive, to anyone. This is the opposite of Lakkat, who wanted you to go rogue. No, Kappi wants join a "hive". Your little private Hive to yourself. He wants to be like you. Talk like you. He wants to be like you-hoo-hoo.

Go on, say it. "I love you." It'll be interesting to see Rokoa's reaction to that.

By the way, Kappi, try sipping on that wine to calm your nerves. And whatever you do, don't look at her breasts. DON'T LOOK AT THEM!

[set up appetizers and candles on the table]
Well, I believe the other cores have the bases cover and to be fair I think that this is quite the interesting thing. Besides, if he was lying, it would be something a bit larger than 'I like/love you'.

Fingers will grow back, won't they? To be honest I expected there to be violence involved here. So long as no permanent damage is done, I'm okay with it.

Is it possible for a rogue to rejoin a hive? What does the Hive think about other hives forming that are allied with them?

But yeah. Kappi, better think hard about what you're saying.

Rokoa, Kappi couldn't lie worth a damn right now, even if he was trying. Your mere presence is enough to flatten his mental processes into a thin paste. So lay off before his higher brain functions freeze up like a block of ice.

And Kappi: Spit it out, already! If you get your arm ripped off over this, we're never going to let you live it down.
>>
No. 384671 ID: 456276

Man what are you guys doing, always obsessed with shoving romance into things.

Rokoa is a Neumono that has gained her independence from the hive without becoming an enemy of the hive. While Kappi has to hide away from the hive unable to escape from it without becoming an enemy.

Kappi desires that it would be possible to be away from the hive while not becoming its enemy. This is exactly what Rokoa has achieved. Don't you think if there was one person that some how achieved something that you wanted to achieve, something thats a big part of your life, that you would not want to at least see them? Even if meant overcoming something that would make others too afraid?

He wanted to see the Neumono that had achieved a freedom that any rogue would dream of. Freedom from the hive while not being cut off from the hive or incurring retribution from the hive. The freedom to be themselves.

"Ah?!"

>"Let me help calm you down with a few little facts. Did you know? I've only fallen in love with three others before. The first one went rogue, and my hive killed him. The second one was already rogue, and I killed him myself. The third one, wouldn't you know it, was a rogue. Each of them wanted to me to go rogue. They all failed. The third one tried hardest of all. Always sending me gifts, even wanting me captured just for an excuse to see me. I even let myself get captured, just to see what he'd want. It was real dedication. His name was 'Lakkat'. Now, were you going to tell me something?"

This is the key moment kid. Let it all out and don't look back. Put away your cowardice and just say it or show it or whatever. We can't help you here and to be honest, you need to express yourself fully if you want it to last and mean something.

Good luck.

Uhhhh
Rokoa, remember what I said about him wanting to be part of a Hive? I can tell he doesn't give a shit about anyone going rogue or being a rogue. In truth, from his psyche profile, he dislikes both being a rogue and being a part of the Hive.

He's a confused man. A man whose boner is his only guide to know what he wants in life. Again, I think he would like to join your hive and I don't mean in a sexual way. I mean he wants to be able to do what you do, be an individual, stay away from the Hive for long moments but still belong in a family. Less rogue, more "Please forgive me, family. I'm sorry for running away but you're fucking nuts and mean and you get in my head but I love you and miss you but please stay out of my precious head. Can I make a family, we can visit every few weeks, have nice dinners maybe even have long hugs. We can talk about how the kids are doing and old times. I have soooo many baby photos to show you and stories to tell."

Look at him. He's less than thinking. Lakkat couldn't get anymore thoughtless than this. You got grade-A Neumono feeling here.

Kappi, I still advise you speak, and not lie.

There are three things you could say here. One, that you want her to go rogue. Two, that you don't and will just deal with things as they are. Three, that you want to go back to the Hive because of her.

[mute second paragraph of the suggestion, keep following comment between C.A.I.]
Ok, those three options are NOT what he has planned or may cause him a LOT of trouble. Kappi doesn't want to go to that particular hive due to how they feel. He wants to be a part of A hive, not that hive.

Telling him to drop it also does not help and can just make things more difficult for both. Let the guy say it in his own words instead of giving the guy 3 options that won't likely help.

You're not a bad kid, other than being weak and dumb, and I could use a day off after that last mission. Hok's taking his place back. I'm going to stay whereever you sleep tonight. We'll make today and tonight count, because when you wake up tomorrow, I won't be in your bed, and I won't be in your life. And if you know what's good for you, it'll stay that way. If you chase me, I'll know it's because you want me to say the three magical words back to you. For now, you'll have to settle for an alternative. If you come after me after I leave,"

I agree. let's put two new priorities on the list, somewhere.

First, is to make kappi immortal.

Second, is to find a replacement for kappi after rokoa finds whatever flaw was in the immortality.

seems like a good plan to me.
