EMP MEME

Curious about what characters might be a good fit here or just need a little push to make up your mind? The EMP meme is a low-pressure space to put your feelers out. This is where you can share which characters you're considering, whether they're strong contenders or just a "maybe if someone twists my arm."

Please keep in mind that posting an EMP toplevel is not a reservation, nor does it guarantee priority if you later decide to reserve that character. If someone else posts about a character you've also been eyeing, please be courteous - chat it out and see if you can reach a compromise.

Just fill out the short form below with the characters you're mulling over, and let others know what might enable you! Note that you don't need to have gotten an invite to post here! EMP is, in part, to help you noodle out whether you'll shoot for an invite in the first place.

Happy enabling!

Player Name & Pronouns: Chase, he/him (jusenkyo)

Character Name: Ai Hayasaka
Canon: Kaguya-sama: Love is War
Age & Romance Preferences: 18, Bi

About: The head maid of the Shinomiya family. Hayasaka is the multi-faceted multi-faced support system for Kaguya Shinomiya in her quest to get Miyuki Shirogane to confess to her. She has to listen to all of Kaguya's stupid rambling about how she thinks relationships work and her plans to get Miyuki's guard down instead of actually talking to him and being direct.

With her occupation being a secret, she's also been forced into different personas in order to fulfill Kaguya's wish, playing a gyaru at school, a foreign exchange student when she attempts to "show Kaguya how it's done", and a butler when Chika Fujiwara comes to visit. Thus she hasn't had a chance to really pursue any romantic entanglements of her own and harbors a slight resentment towards the two, but still wants the whole thing to work out anyway.

Either this'll still be true or I'll be taking her from past the anime, I haven't decided yet.
Potential Plans: First, she's treating this like a vacation because learning that time's not going to pass means she can actually do whatever the fuck she wants and Kaguya won't notice that she's missing. Whether or not she decides to actually be herself, that's a different thing. In fact, she most likely won't even go by "Ai Hayasaka" and may be Haysaca A Smithee, just to make things both less complicated (no not THAT Ai,) and because it may fit the setting better.

Most likely, she'd still want to pursue romance and would be super open to anything. She gets carried away with her ideas from time to time, and probably wouldn't be looking for anything serious. Probably. Also she can finally act on something: she's wanted to try kissing and almost kissed Chika and maybe she can kiss a girl??? bold today aren't we

If I take her from the manga, she'll be a little more herself, a little more dry and playful with the same issues at heart. She'd also uh, be coming in from a much, much different time-frame. Either way, Kaguya and Miyuki are together and she's kinda jelly.

Anything Else? chase didn't you post a whole-ass other character on the test drive meme already

like she's cute either way so it depends on how i'm feelin about it, honestly manga hayasaka's more likely since we're about halfway through and there's less time for her character arc

[roundofavalon]

More liar characters for Artoria to awkwardly act like she doesn’t Magically See Through It around?

[proliar]

A living lie detector, straight up her worst nightmare.....

[roundofavalon]

quick, hayasaka, all you have to do to shut the lie detector girl up is kiss her. its a win-win

Hayasaka introducing herself as Haysaca A Smithee and Artoria has to choose between calling the name ridiculous or pretending she can’t tell it’s fake

[maidfree]

i double checked the dub to see if it's pronounced any differently and THE ANSWER IS SOMEHOW NO IT'S STILL PRONOUNCED HAYASAKA

i'll have to recheck the original jpn voices, because hayasaka how the fuck are you getting away with that

[roundofavalon]

Artoria suddenly confused on what the lie is because her real name and fake name sound the same...

Anyways if you bring Hayaliar I'll be obligated to immediately throw Artoria at her because it'd be funny. Maybe even cute.

[prickster]

do it do it

let's get her some of those girl smooches

[maidfree]

she's gonna come in thinking that she's going to find a cute guy to hang out with, go back home wanting to kiss chika even more because now she's a Professional Girl Kisser

[prickster]

that there is an arc we can get behind!

incidentally i think i'm inspired to load up that chika dance sequence, i haven't watched that in a minute
