NAME RITSU KIKUCHI | EIGHTEEN | SINGLE | PERVERSE | AMNESIA As I've said on his app here, Ritsu is a douche. He's horrible to people, but it's mainly to prevent himself from hurting them further, with his memory issues. He's eighteen, and he likes to set pranks and pull random insults out of no where. He also can get slightly perverse at times, but he'll never get intimate.FRIENDS Becoming friends with Ritsu will be a near impossible feat. He's rude, he's distant, and he can't remember a face for more than a day. Even if someone manages to talk to him and get him to be genuine, he'll hide a lot from them, such as his inner emotions. One would need the patience of a saint, but if one's lucky enough, they might just managed to make an imprint on his heart, even if his mind can't recall anything. The only true hint I can give is, odds are, if you're making him annoyed, you're doing something right.ENEMIES This... surprisingly is harder than one thinks. It's possible to make a one-sided enemy of course, but even when it comes to throughout a single day, it's hard to anger Ritsu. Frustration is easily acquired, but true rage and hate? Perhaps by showing something truly vulgar someone couldn't ever forgive, one might achieve this title. But as I've said, he won't remember beyond that day unless you've done something incredibly horrible. At that point, his instincts will tell him to avoid you, even if he's not sure why.LOVERS Ohoho, you thought friendship was hard? Well this really is impossible. Ritsu's mental state forbids he love someone, or grow this attached. One would have to push, and push, and keep pushing. One would have to understand how many levels of broken he's hiding, and how much he could grow to need them if he gets that attached, even if he can't even recall your name. However... you never know. Achieving the impossible might just break this curse he's under.ETCETERA Feel free to do anything with Ritsu, honestly. Seriously. I don't care what happens, even if someone were to bond with him just to break him. So just let me know what you want and we'll work something out.

Ritsu Kikuchi - so ritsu does drugs? caia is a drug dealer? see where i'm going with this? i see a bright, useful business relationship blossoming between these two. maybe they even do the stuff together from time to time as casual drug buddies. ritsu isn't caia's type of person at all, but she knows how to deal with assholes and hse knows how to deal with customers. put two and two together, caia is probably something close to a friend to ritsu. or at least, she'd probably be if she was interested in being his friend. but she's not, so strict business contacts/maybe drug buddies.

Heh, I could certainly see some form of bond with these two. If Ritsu could be notified of her business in some way, and have a reminder of it, she'd have a full-fledged customer who'd willingly blow any money the school gives him for basic necessities on the drugs instead. He'd not remember her being the one he buys from, but he'd at least learn to drop his guard down a bit over time, as he'd learn he needs Caia- his instincts, for the sake of his addiction, would tell him as such.
So yes, I'd definitely knock friendship out the window as a possibility, but they could definitely have a thread later on, with Ritsu waiting in a specific place to have his first fix upon hearing possible rumors from other people, or possibly Caia overhearing him desiring the drugs and approaching him first.

Ritsu Kikuchi - if ritsu is open about his memory thing, caia would be more than willing to put effort into finding a way to make sure he's constantly reminded about their 'business' agreement. if not, well then, she'd put the effort into it after she figured it out (which she probably would at some point with extended contact). and with first meetings, i definitely see caia approaching him because that's who she is. pushy, reckless and burning with a passion to get as many people drugged up as possible to make mad cash. or if anyone else asks, she just wants to share the greatness of drugs in many different forms.

Ritsu, to the best of his abilities, would try not to be so open about his situation, but if Caia persisted and pushed enough, he might blurt something about it in his anger. That might work in her favor, also, as Ritsu will be far more willing to go with Caia's deal- even if it puts her in the upper hand- if she has information on him he doesn't want people to know. He'll be annoyed with those reminders at first, but he'll be grateful for them. But, hm... if we have that figured out, the question is where we'd hold this, then? If Caia is fond of downtown, I could see Ritsu wandering down there occasionally. Or she could find him on campus, at some point, away from the crowds. Or some other place you have in mind. Whatever you're thinking, you can just tell me and we can talk it out.

Ritsu Kikuchi - if ritsu is involved heavily (or even minimally) with drug culture, maybe he found out about caia through a mutual friend? everything caia sells is high quality and pure - or as pure as it can get - so maybe ritsu heard a drug buddy talking about caia and her drugs and bugged them into giving him her info and now they're having some sort of business meeting. so maybe they're meeting up on the street or at a café to talk business and then we can roll with the punches and see where that takes us. sound good?

Post by Nikolai Malashonak on Aug 19, 2015 13:52:34 GMT -5
I need some active threads for Niko so I have a small idea. What if the two have to work together on an assignment of sorts? It's random, but the two are in the same year & could have some of the 'basic' classes together so it would make sense. Nikolai is the kind of person who likes to get his work done as quickly as possible, but also to where it's perfect quality as well. (So basically getting an A+ on everything or becoming extremely stressed out if he doesn't earn such a grade.)
Any who, overall the two would probably be terrible partners. Like there both smart-tarties, but with Ristu being a grade A dick, Nikolai will probably get quite aggravated to the point where he would start speaking Belorussian, then refuse to translate. (So the two would probably just yell at each other until they got kicked out from wherever they were-)
So because the two can't get along, maybe they fail their project? Or get like a C or something because most of their time was spent arguing with each other. So, then in the end Nikolai would sort of dislike Ristu since the guy couldn't keep his mouth shut and blame him for having him receive such a low grade? (Even though both are to blame in this situation you know... cx ) Basically it will be a nice hate-ship from one side due to Ristu sever memory lose.

Oh no... xD That would be perfect, actually. Ritsu would at least try at first, to get the project done, but if Nikolai started speaking like that he'd just give up. Fighting, though... It's possible, if Nikolai were to hit a nerve, or if Ritsu were to just keep egging the poor boy on. He'd probably make fun of his accent, tell him he looks like he takes it up the ass daily... He might poke him a few times to piss him off even more.
You're right, though, it'd be totally one-sided since he wouldn't write it down, and he wouldn't remember. So he'd just jab at him more if he came up to him all angry. Still, I say we should do this! What subject would it be...? Maybe something Ritsu's not even remotely good at to doom them further, like Psychology? Then they could bomb it terribly. Or any other course. I can work with it, so I look forward to getting this thread going, once we have this figured out- and what the project will be, of course.

I guess it's how it goes down? I mean Nikolai will speak it if he's confused about something, but it's like a very small portion compared to when he's over come with emotions like being upset, happy or whatever you know? Even so, a small comment such as calling him Russian will set him over the edge. (He's Belorussian, but it's a common mistake some make as the languages are very similar.) It just sets him off. Even so, I have no doubt that Ristu will find something to cause him to get upset or rage over.
Psychology would be an interesting course to do a project in! Google is my friend and so I did a search & have a few ideas on simple projects that could be assigned to the boys. (If only I was in school now... I think I have a psychology class this year? I'm not for sure though... cx )
1. How to people respond when nonverbal communication does match up to verbal behavior (for example, saying you feel great when your facial expressions and tone of voice indicate otherwise). Which signal do people respond to most strongly?
2. How do people react when social norms are violated? This might involve acting in a way that is outside the norm in a particular situation, or enlisting friends to act out the behaviors while you observe. Some examples that you might try include wearing unusual clothing, applauding inappropriately at the end of a class lecture, cutting in line in front of other people, or some other mildly inappropriate behavior. (This one... This one would be hilarious to do.. Like I can see the two of them doing a report on each other... xD )
3. Does online social networking make people more or less likely to interact with people in "real life"?

Sorry for getting to this so late. ^^; I didn't notice this until just now. But oh my stars, Ritsu would call him Russian by accident the moment he said anything in that language of his.And if he found out he'd been upset by it... He'd probably call him the 'Russian kid' from that point onward. Stereotypes would be a must. Either way, yeah, Ritsu will not stop until he's found something that pisses this poor child off- so poor Niko-kun best be prepared.
I'm shocked you actually looked this up, but good work! Class would help a lot... ^^; But NUMBER TWO would be beautiful, oh lord. Ritsu would actually put the final nail in the coffin by saying Nikolai is the definition of how not to act, by being 'Rude.' And being to harsh. And he'd probably try to wave off a report of him, so... It would be interesting, to say the least. The clashing of who they're going to use as an example could even lead to them not finishing at all, but we could just see how it goes. xD
If this all is okay with you, then... it looks like we're set to try this out? If we are, I'll start to make it up for you for responding to this so slow. xD;
