Futaba Sakura | Persona 5

[promiselisting]

Player: Gorse
Plurk: gorsecloud and Gorsecloud#8698
Timezone: US Central! I work odd hours though

Character: [OU] Futaba Sakura
Canon: Persona 5
Info: An incredibly intelligent teenage hacker with significant social anxiety and moderate authority problems. While she can be independent, quirky, mischievous, and a bit smart-mouthed, she can also be incredibly focused and motivated if something catches her attention, and is a powerful ally to have on your side. That being said, she's been through some Serious Shit and while she does her best to own it, things can get rough sometimes.
Job(s): Astrologian/Puppetmaster and probably going to pick up another sometime soon.
Housing: Persona House in Ka'Pandol!
Moogle: She calls him Neo. She does not know his actual name. He's starting to get more pushy about doing things for her because he's realizing that gentle cajoling and appeals are less effective than just doing the thing and dealing with her grumbling. He's game for some of her more ridiculous antics though, like throwing Makoto a surprise birthday party.

Status: August in general is a rough month for Futaba. She hates the heat, it's the month that her mom died rather horribly right in front of her, and for this particular August? Three of her good friends disappeared in a very short space of time. Two of them are coming back, but still.

That being said, Futaba is still working hard on research, but more for it's own sake and to figure what's going on and less of the massive rush to figure out how to get home that she was doing at the beginning. She's likewise starting realize that she's getting attached to people here in Vaikuntha. This will make her panic a bit when she figures it out.

Besides that though she's actually doing pretty solid?
Employment: Hiding in the back room of the Ka'Pandol Mognet store talking to a rubber duck

Plans: Keep working on her notes and investigations and improving her understanding of Vaikuntha coding/programming languages (and by extension, her hacking ability). Finishing up on modding her laptop so that it can connect to the Mognet and such. Futaba as a whole is a lot more reactive than proactive a lot of the time? So a lot is probably going to depend on the plot reveals this month. Until then she's kind of in a holding pattern. She will be leaping for Custom Jobs as soon as they become available though.

Desired CR: As with last time, I'm pretty game/open? To give some examples though:

• More people her age! Always game for more dumb teenager CR
  
• More tech people for her to talk shop with; Alternately fellow gigantic fandom/genre-savvy nerds
  
• More people who are ready to really dig into the lore and secrets of the world; Actually I'm really looking for more people who are willing to team up with her on her research because she doesn't have the time or energy (or interest) for all the different avenues of exploration she's been finding. DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
  
• People for her to butt heads with, although she's doing decently well with this as is (she is Chaotic-aligned as hell so she'll probably bug more Lawful type characters)
  
• Also Actually Nice adults. Except for her mom and her adoptive father, she's had a lot of shitty adults in her life so I'd love for her to meet some to help undermine her general mistrust of them. On that note, Actually Decent people in general who are aligned with law/politics/authority. Reminder her that good examples of all these things do exist.
  
• Honestly just come at me

Undesired Things: I can't think of anything off the top of my head that aren't like... really highly specific scenarios probably nobody's going to be interested in anyway SO. If you're ever worried though just run it by me and we can talk about it!
Shipping: Already have something on the horizon here, so no thanks!

Additional Comment: If you'd like to start some CR right the fuck now, she has a Mognet post up for people to tag into! 'u'

Selphie can try to be a nice adult and would be interested in lending a hand with research but I guess Futaba would have to trust her a bit more first, right?

[promiselisting]

I mean, it kind of depends on the kind of lending-a-hand that's going on? Like, for example, on Futaba's network post Cornelia has come up with a few good leads and so Futaba is like 'cool beans, you do that and check in if you find anything interesting!' Something that involves a lot more frequent communication or even in-person digging/research/etc. would likely need more trust, yes.

Like the big problem that's going on in their thread on Futaba's post right now is that Selphie is acting really conspiratorial about something that Futaba is pretty sure really doesn't merit it? And making a really simple info gather way more complicated than it needs to be (like, all that really needs to be done is basically to make a post after the imperial visit is over asking for what information everybody got, that's all). Point being, it's leaving Futaba with a not-great impression.

[boomchucka]

Don’t worry about it then.

[pishirogane]

Besides meeting not-Sae at some point, I think Futaba should come with Naoto to meet another Eidolon. I'm thinking Shiva... also, Naoto's suspicious of Typhon...

[promiselisting]

Because of possible connections to the creature someone graffiti-ed over Leviathan?

But yeah, I'm down! 'u'

[pishirogane]

Yeaaah, she's mad about that. Seriously, someone promoting Ultros, but not being seen? /huff

[promiselisting]

What the heck were security even doing to have missed that, seriously

[pishirogane]

YEAH who would really want the octopus back?

[littlemhigan]

I reeeeeaaalllyyyy need to Chuck Castor at Futaba. They have a lot of mutuals, and Castor can do a lot of legwork when it comes to research, if you need her too. Is also a Nice Adult and will smuggle you alcohol on request.

[promiselisting]

Yeeeee

I’ve been keeping an eye out myself for opportunities but Futaba’s tendency to not approach new people unprompted makes things tricky sometimes. Legwork would be helpful though, definitely, although even just fellow party members would be great, since Futaba is used to playing Support in her own party. Astrologian is actually a really close analogy.

[littlemhigan]

legit! I'll make an effort to hit a top-level as soon as my brain stops being made of fuck.

[hatejakku]

Thanks to Ashe's post, Finn is snooping around the Curti Center and trying to use his cop job for leverage. He'll be looking there at least once a week for a while. Mods say he'll find nothing, but I figured he would have let Futaba know anyway and try to look into stuff she might specify. Right now, he's trying to get into restricted areas and look for the weird kid.

[promiselisting]

Oh no Finn be careful. Don't get yourself into trouble.

Though she'll find his eagerness to be... kind of endearing. A little sigh-worthy but endearing. Honestly though at first she'd probably just tell him to poke around looking for anything suspicious without... making it obvious he's doing so. Because right now they don't know what all the CC is keeping under wraps but it also wouldn't be a good idea to put their guard up, even if Finn does have being law enforcement at his side. There are ways for somebody wanting to hide something to get around that, as Futaba herself knows all too well.

[hatejakku]

He's definitely going to try being kinda sneaky or at least not announce that everyone's a suspect right now. Tbf, he really doesn't think the Curti Center staff have anything to hide because he feels it's deeper than that. Hopefully that translates well.

Also also Lan and I might be plotting a thing? With the concerns of missing people going on and everything, they're going to hold a law enforcement convention sort of thing, maybe even open it up to "concerned citizens" or something. I should probably just plurk this and get people's input but anyway There's going to be a lot of talk there about metaplot stuff. I imagine Finn would invite her AS SOON AS I FIGURE OUT WHATS GOING ON but also shenanigans.

[promiselisting]

OH GOD THAT'LL BE... INTERESTING

Because on one hand it's a lot of outworlders but on the other hand Futaba has

Very

Very bad experiences with law enforcement in general I mean she's a Phantom Thief so a huge part of her is just gonna be like

[hatejakku]

It's okay, Futaba. Finn understands. ♥

tbh, surprisingly, Finn's cop job is helping him deal with his previous "cop" job by helping people who actually need help so there is that relateable sort of concept going on.

[spaceforged]

He’lllll be back and she’ll have her friends of the Voltron crew back! I’m gonna top level at the festival. He’ll be tired but glad to see her.

[promiselisting]

SHE WILL BE GLAD TO SEE HIM DON'T SCARE HER LIKE THAT

Even though tbh being scared by Shiro disappearing is probably like some kind of Voltron rite of passage

I'll keep an eye out for said toplevel then! Turns out I'm gonna be doing some overtime this week so it might take me a bit to get to it but I'll get there.

[spaceforged]

IT WASNT LIKE HE HAD A CHOICE

Yeah exactly, welcome to the team!

No problem. I'm working on it now.

[desertbloomed]

Ashe is on board for metaplot investigations 100%. She's also a politically-inclined adult that, while may clash a bit with mouthy teenagers, is far from completely awful. Now that she's learned how to use her iMog, Ashelia should hopefully get on Futaba's nerves less lol

[promiselisting]

To be fair it wasn't so much annoyance as it was an "oh goodness" type of reaction.

But yes, Futaba will probably be like... hugely fascinated and wanting to pick Ashe's brain a lot about Crystallis things. It'll be interesting to see how the dynamic works! Work has picked up a lot suddenly so I am going to get back to my tags it's just taking time since I've basically been getting home and crashing hard.

Also Ashe if you see Sarah again please tell her to next time pick a method of warning people that doesn't terrify Futaba's family that's all she asks.
