C's top five possessions and top five things he plans to buy next!

[neigh_sayer]

He doesn't really get too attached with his material goods because he destroys so much but he's fond of:
-the bat backpack
-the cat kigu
-the remains of his furby because he keeps finding ways to fuck with people
-???? idk HE LOVES EVERYONE HE'S FORCED INTO SERVITUDE
-he's proud of the bandanas he's been learning to sew

PLANNING TO BUY:
-SO MUCH LIVE PREP. He wants to put on a host club kind of event.
-A prop room, so maybe he does not have to buy as much stuff possibly
-A Knife for Reasons
-A secret underground base for his room complete with slidey poll
-A mass of other unsettling items for pranks

If Silver had infinite points what would he buy? Aside from shoes.

[shutthefoxup]

Silver and Gold really are pretty simple in terms of wants and stuff? Like, mooooost of their money goes towards high end sneakers. Little baby sneakerheads waiting in line at shoe releases... Gold already beat Silver to buying an arcade upgrade, but that said he'll probably put one in Wild City anyways because he thinks Whisky would like Counterstrike.

He has his gym, he has some work out clothes, he has cool kicks...he's pretty good? Honestly at this point if he had infinite points he would pretty much A) keep tinies out of points jail B) Keep upgrading Wild City (arcade, sauna, etc) C) Keep upgrading jail D) Buy gifts for everyone.

Upgrading jail would be a big one since B can't go to Wild City. He wants them ALL to be able to hang out and do stuff, so he'd feel bad if B couldn't hang out too.

One day they will remember how much they love pudding though...and then all bets are off.

CR ME!

[neigh_sayer]

C LOEV SILVER. Aside from B, the twins top his fave list and for completely different reasons. Gold is really good at holding C back but Silver gets C VERY HYPE and really he just wants to play corruption and get Silver to do more petty crimes with him. It's like an energy feedback loop except Silver is a positive energy outlet rather than say, shooting bears in the Vid room with Whisky.

IT IS IRONIC since C did not think much at all of Silver at first, other than "Gold's twin", and was even kind of annoyed by him on their first run in (taking a candid picture of him HOW DARE). But Silver's general go with the flow attitude grew on him and eventually C noticed "Oh he's just, he's just kind of an asshole. I LOVE HIM" and that sparked him becoming more comfortable with his normal friendship harassment. He loves it when people actually push back at him and it just fuels him to mess with them more. FRIENDSHIP

Also Silver is still good to just, CHILL with since C isn't quite as fakey fakey around the twins, and he is genuinely invested in getting him Good Things as he also registers Silver as just a normal dude. Unlike Whisky, where C's initial motive of befriending him was just to get an "in" on Wild City, he absolutely prioritizes Silver's well being and is willing to go behind his back to ensure it. Probably just as much as he goes behind Gold's back to try and hook up B!!! C just wants to be a good boss and protect what's his.

That said, he is not 100% willing to be totally vulnerable at Silver because C thinks he has enough on his plate to worry about. Vague dropping that he's in the middle of a murder game back home is the most he's fessed up in a while, and it's only because he felt so weird having such a normal hang out with everyone. He certainly LIKED it, but will probably not say much on it again for a while. He rather show his trust and affection indirectly, whether it be via pranks or forcing himself to get his ass kicked in a game of volleyball.

BASICALLY kya kya a good twin, C loev him!!! Is willing to bust a team for him or play a sport for him, two very different levels of attachment he didn't know he had!!!

REVERSE

[shutthefoxup]

Apologies in advance because I am long winded...

SILVER LOEV C. That said, Silver didn't really like EITHER of the tinies at first, but that's just A) how Silver is and B) Silver being irritated at how fast Gold bonded to other people (and low key feeling like Gold was picking the tinies over him).

Silver really doesn't care if people like him, because he doesn't really care about liking people. For the most part, he gets along with people on a surface level or, if they interest him, taunts the hell out of them. However, in imeeji, he HAS to care about 'being liked'. He tries the make sure he's always smiling, is pleasant to talk to, doesn't make weird faces, because being charming and attractive is important so that people don't bus his team...since he is dead certain people WANT to bus Wild City. He fully believes they subconsciously think it would the easy team to agree is "bad" and feel "good" about deciding to bus.

HOWEVER, with the tinies, he decided it was worth it to make an extra effort to seek them out/get along with them. He tried to be more open to at least getting along with them because he realized very quickly that Gold was just going to get MORE attached to them, not less. So, he basically had two options, get along with the smalls and still be close to Gold or just kinda....give up and let the tinies have Gold to themselves.

Things would be VERY different and Silver would be VERY different if he had chosen the later option. Because that would mean early on he would have basically wound up only bonding with and only caring about Wild City. And I think we know where that would lead.

SO he made the effort even though he doesn't usually effort with people. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd then he wound up actually liking them. The tinies are good, caring smalls that he can't really bring himself to dislike, for some of the same reasons and for a lot of reasons that are unique to just C and just B as individuals. He intended to "get along" with them and "play nice"...he did not expect to genuinely care about/worry about/consider them friends.

C is a lot of fun. He brings a lot of good energy and is always doing something strange, but interesting. Silver gets bored by people really easily...but he has yet to be bored around C. It sounds awful, but sometimes when people are talking he'll just be thinking about something else while his mouth goes on autopilot with all the "correct" responses. He is never on autopilot around C.

C helps him have fun and make light of this place when it would be really easy to just kind of sink into his head. And he hopes he provides a little of the same in return. He also appreciates having someone around with a healthy sense of awareness both self and surrounding *pointed look at Gold and B.

He does wonder a lot because he knows there's more to C than just lives and general silliness. He can tell C is smart and analytical and intelligent...but Silver isn't about to push him to share more or anything if that's not what C wants. If C wants to be silly, he can be silly. Even if he wasn't being silly or doing crazy lives, Silver would still want to hang out with him. He also is kind of amused/concerned that C is uncomfortable with feeling too "normal" and will be thinking over that after the sleepover. THOUGHTS FOR LATER SILVER.

Silver IS also a little worried that C gives up a lot for the sake of B. He pushes B into focus a lot and kind of tries to hang off to the side. He doesn't know if C had/has a crush on Gold or Mori, but he is endlessly confused by BOTH B's and C's willingness to give up something they want for someone else. Like, caring about others is cool and all, and being selfless in fine sometimes, but it's also important to care about yourself and what you want? *Just draws up a timeshare for B and C on Gold and Mori.

C pulls a lot of attention to himself during lives, but then pushes a lot of attention OFF of himself and onto B or Mori or Gold etc outside of lives. As if to say like hey pay more attention/care more about/focus more on these people instead of me. Outside of lives C seems to spend a lot of time on OTHER people and Silver is a little boggled. That said, if they're in a group setting, he does make it a point to try to spend more attention on C.

Ultimately though, Silver really enjoys C's company, thinks highly of him, would throw down with someone that wanted to talk shit about C, and cares about his happiness/safety/etc. Despite the gremlin act, he knows C is a good guy. He knows C accepts and actually enjoys the lowkey asshole sides of his personality. Which is a first, so hey.

Silver has a very small circle of people he cares about, and even within that tiny circle there are levels of caring, but C has managed to find a spot as someone Silver not only cares about, but also would call a friend.

Does C have any lingering hang-ups from any of the games? Like, B can't go to Wild City because of the house game... Does C have any new found fears, hang-ups, or issues? Does he have any trouble sleeping? How is he coping with things that happen here? Or is he totally fine and dealing? Is there anything he's worried WILL happen? Is there anything he really doesn't want ruined for him by trauma games? TELL ME YOUR FEARS C.

[neigh_sayer]

I LOVE LONG WINDEDNESS IT'S COOL what a good twin

C is remarkably not that bothered by the games! He tends to accidentally avoid the worst of it (he did two rounds of Betrayal house and was totally untouched, just stole a bunch of cool shit.) He did help H mirror a guy in Betrayal but he was more so bothered that he was an accomplice than he was that they...threw a guy in a mirror while still sane. SANGUINE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE IF HE DIDN'T WANT MIRROR JAIL.

That said he doesn't LIKE them, especially the violent ones. They bother him a lot, and he's more so concerned with the effect they have on his teammates. E got stabbed a million times! B has a Whisky phobia now! He absolutely hates violence, but at the same time he is not actually against playing hard--he would love to protect the team and will do so if their hands are forced. But he also considers PR to be the more beneficial commodity, and worth suffering over a brief, if horrific moment of pain to uphold it. He's found no benefit to them playing hard other than a headache later, so he fakes being completely against the games to maintain that. Tl;dr he is mostly quietly frustrated with how stuck they are.

THAT SAID, though the games don't get to him, just their overall situation is horrible to him. He still has Zero memories due to initially not wanting to get attached or be manipulated, so he has a very hollow, detached sense of himself. Sometimes he dreams of nothing! Other times he dreams of distorted imeeji happenings! It's very disorienting to have just, nothing but two and a half months of clear memories of his life here. Before they found out revival was a thing he was very much looking for an opportunity to just, die, and he would have been okay with it. NOT SO MUCH NOW.

Also, with every memory Maki gets, he wonders if A) oh wow I'M NOT, A GOOD PERSON, HAHA :) and B) that sure is a murder school I wonder if me and maki are murdered or murderers hm. And while he's helping with Plot, he's not convinced that taking Hell's deal is the 'wrong' answer either. There wouldn't be much sense in bringing people here who wouldn't take a deal so!!! He sure is having thoughts about becoming a Mukuro some day.

Basically he is too busy have a constant low key existential crisis that the games really can't knock him much lower at the moment. That will probably change in the future!! Coping wise he just stays distracted running around and doing his Alcheme shit. He does not sleep nearly as much as he needs to, and will sometimes stay up a full 24 hours and then crash the next night. Fun times.

WHAT IS SOMETHING AWFUL YOU WANT TO HAPPEN TO SILVER. Or is there anything you think that would happen that would break him too badly, outside of Gold like, getting mutilated in front of him?

[shutthefoxup]

Oh gosh. Silver has been pretty lucky as far as avoiding trauma. Said even though he almost burned alive in a tube and died in a game and almost shot in the face by our savior on Zrael...

And as much as he visualizes and tries to prepare for the days that stuff worse than that does happen, it will still be rough when it does. Almost burning alive was horrifying and he got a grrrreat letter in fan mail about it. He really wanted Whisky to teach him to shoot, just because that would help him with a false sense of security, but Will said no guns for Silver so it's back to the drawing board...For now that everything awful that happens is locked in the vault while he tosses the ball into the air over and over and over. The gym is going to be a good distraction though.

Silver like I said doesnt really want to feel too fondly for anyone but sometimes it can't be helped. So obviously anything super traumatic happening to Gold or the tinies would be especially rough. He cares about Wild City so them getting seriously hurt would be hard too but most of them have weird relationships with death so it wouldn't be AS worrying? Having to be the one to hurt them with his own two hands would def be the hardest mentally on him.

I don't have any trauma I'm aiming for and nothing sticks out as particularly specifically awful for him aside from like I said above. There's nothing I'd say no to happening to him either though because out of character I'm impossible to unsettle soooo yeah. Literally used to play Momiji Sohma and he got chopped up into pieces and the box of pieces go sent to the other Sohmas. Nothing bothers me anymore.

What would C have turned out like on the other units? Does he ever wish he was on a different unit? If he could design his own unit, aesthetic and hand pick his unit mates what would that look like? Would ideal unit be better or worse for him developmentally?what would his Nightmare unit look like?

[inspiteful]

First impressions!

[neigh_sayer]

C REALLY LIKES ECLIPSE. He's cute, he's helpful, and makes hilarious grumpy faces. A+ prime bullying material. For as much as he will pick on him though, it is Concerning that a fourteen year old is here and he's wondering just how young the picking pool is and why. Doesn't Hell have standards?? It's because of this too that C doesn't lean quite as harshly on his more severe brand of humor that he's prone to (and like in canon, he's only Really Mean to those he feels deserve it). In general he rather not scare of Eclipse too much and can reel himself back in easily.

That said, he's also being a little nicer because he does actually feel a smiiiidge bad about acting out on Mori right in front of Eclipse. Yeah he didn't do anything bad but he rather not involve others in his personal issues. So there's that!!

REVERSE

[liarliarliar]

CR me again OR tell me about C's Dream Live Free Props No Limits.

[neigh_sayer]

C's ideal Live is just a ramped up phantom thief heist and it's cool and fun and everyone's having a good time then SUDDENLY UH OH IT WAS JUST A COVER FOR ROBBING THE REAL AZZY'S ACTUAL HOUSE GET FUCKED SATAN

Anyway, B HAS UPGRADED TO FULL little brother status and not just vague fond feelings. C loev B!! He does very much worry about the burden he puts on himself and his stress levels, especially with his sister on the scene now. But with that said B is one of the few people C will readily modify his behavior for (being cutesy at Ayano, actually feeling Bad that B was mad at him for siccing Whisky on Mori, etc). He wants B to be happy but he's also ready to smack him aside the head if he starts burying himself in doubt and work again, though B seems to have stabilized on that front for a while thanks to lots of positive attention and polls and such. He is still not at the point where he can drop his own insecurities on B because he thinks B has enough shit to sort through with himself and others, but he's at least comfortable venting at him sometimes now.

Still needs him to fucking kiss Gold already THIS IS DUMB B, JUST KISS HIM, WE'RE IN HELL JUST GO FOR IT.

[puzzlekeeper]

WHO WON ROCK PAPER SCISSORS

i forgot and dropped the thread im the problem

[neigh_sayer]

KING BECAUSE HE IS KING OF GAMES and also because C less likes winning games and more making people play with him even tho he puts on a big front about that.

ALSO WHAT IS A GAME HE WOULD ADORE THAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE TOWER

[grandschemed]

RELATIONSHIP UPDATE FOR WHISKY??? if there is much of one

[neigh_sayer]

WHISKY IS STILL HIGH UP THERE AS ONE OF C'S FAVORITE PEOPLE somehow

He's still an asshole but a funny asshole!! And despite learning more about his UNCOMFORTABLE PAST C sort of gets it, and thinks Whisky's one of the more reasonable people in Imeeji so shrug!! C in general is a quiet stan for Wild City and is still A-okay with it if Whisky gets Wild City to target Alcheme one day. Better them than anyone else, he thinks.

He still thinks his whole thing with Lucifel is weird and will probably ultimately end badly, but gosh dangit if it makes Whisky happy(?) he will support it and give Lucifel every sex ed lesson.

Whisky also gets extra points for not only going along with the Live kidnapping, but also Getting it and knowing that C would not have wanted him to actually hurt Mori. Yeah he knows it's because that's too much trouble and Whisky's loyalty is FLIMSY AT BEST but C can also really appreciate that kind of shallow but beneficial relationship. Definitely wants to reward him when he's out of points jail.

SO YEA STILL A+ TOPCAT sorry most of my team hates ur team.

WAIT I FORGOT TO SAY REVERSE ME DO IT

[eatsthecanary]

WHISKY DOES GENUINELY LIKE C as much as he's a fucking weirdo about like, showing attachment or admitting he likes people. He's still obviously not strictly loyal to him but he's actually been surprised himself how well their little bargaining has ended up (for him as he's largely not concerned if C actually benefits from it in the end or not).

And he still genuinely likes C's company even if IF IT WERE MOST OTHER PEOPLE he'd just find it annoying, but C takes his behavior to such an extent even Whisky is like oh wow you're really going for it. He's got a pretty good idea of how much of that is just fronting -- the truth or drink game was a pretty good confirmation to Whisky that like, yes C fronts as being a bad guy and spews a lot of shit but in actuality does not seem to want to have to hurt people! Which is in part why he didn't hurt Mori (on top of the laziness et al regarding everything).

He mostly hopes he doesn't end up in the middle of C's weird version of flirting in the future because he didn't ask to be tied up in relationship drama, but otherwise is pretty content with him and is glad he's helping out with Lucifel. Mostly because he's pretty upfront with Lucifel about how he wants Lucifel to work on himself but C's good at like actually leading people and helping them out in his own ... indirect way.

Targeting Alcheme would likely not be his first thought for team stuff but he gets C would rather it be Alcheme than like, Avante or WC itself, SO THAT'S ON THE TABLE

POTENTIAL SECOND THOUGHTS?? would it still be apollo probably

[neigh_sayer]

ABSOLUTELY STILL APOLLO. I have just been putting it off because Alcheme's been busy (points jail!!!) and it's been crazy at work, but come November I think I'll finally be throwing him in.

Currently debating between putting him in line for Taisho or Pep pep but leaning toward the former because CONTRACTS!!

IF YOU COULD HAVE A THIRD WHO'D IT BE AND WHERE

[eatsthecanary]

MY TOP 2 RIGHT NOW ARE!!

Ardyn Izunia from FFXV, Dark Vic would like him on Alcheme because he would legitimately start out as a pretty good dude then have ... an escalation ............ to being endgame final fantasy villain but also even as an endgame final fantasy villain he has the capability to play nice. Nice but creepy. THAT'S DARK VIC BECAUSE I KNOW ALCHEME IS MOSTLY "SOFT ON INSIDE ASSHOLES ON OUTSIDE" ATM

Sensitiv would be funny because he's basically an Aeris-style corrupted healer when you just boil it down and I think even if he turned asshole it'd work out. If there were a royalty team down the line I'd want him on it though.

SECOND OPTION!! WOULD BE MORI OUGAI, from bungou stray dogs, who is a pedophile doctor who leads a mafia. His entire thing is being Cold and Logical over everything, my first instinct for him would be FiN just because he'd do well with SCIENCE team and be hilarious vs Intensity and Kei.

DID YOU HAVE NON-APOLLO CHARACTERS YOU CONSIDERED

[neigh_sayer]

scream THE DARK ALCHEME TIMELINE. I'm like half-lawyer brain all the time SO APOLLO WAS ALWAYS UP THERE especially since he can easily roll with assholes or chill teams alike but yea alway lawyers all the time MAYBE I CAN GO ONE YEAR WITHOUT PLAYING HIM, IT'S POSSIBLE;;;;;;;;

BUT I did consider:
-Kharg from Arc the Lad for Zrael because it'd be hilarious having an amnesiac demon hating rpg hero be in a cult
-Mike Chilton for Wild City because I am a huge motorcity stan and Mike is just a wolf that thinks he's a golden retriever and way too chill for his own good
-Tohru from Dragon Maid with no plans whatsoever I JUST WANT TO PLAY HER SO BAD
-Serena from Pokemon was actually my FIRST Imeeji consideration because look at her she's so fukkin cute but then DR continued to eat my life. I was going to have her be a second, but Imeeji ended up skewing more Mature and at max she's like 13 so I wouldn't feel right throwing her here haha.

ALCHEME, SENSITIV, WC, FIN, AND BAD END ASIDE, what other teams do u think you'd like to app on one day even tho that's like half of them haha

[eatsthecanary]

AVANTE BC DUELS and TRR, I think Ogata would have done okay on either team for example and I would have liked playing with their power sets but ended up really happy with him on WC. Pep pep and HSS would be fun but it'd be hard ... for me to pick a character to play on them ... from my personal roster ........

dark Vic option: Komaeda pep!pep or HSS

TOP 3 CAST MATES FROM DANGARONPA / PHOENIX WRIGHT YOU'D WANT

[neigh_sayer]

okay but komaeda spamming buddy bond tho, fund it


TOP 3 FROM DANGAN RONPA: KAITO/SHUICHI/MIU OR KAEDE. Foil, protag, and frenemy bestie and Kaede because I feel like Ouma would have fixated on her just as much as he does Shuichi if not more because she's Actual Protag. ALTERNATIVELY end game Hajime would be a blast to bounce off of.

PHOENIX WRIGHT: Phoenix, Klavier, then toss up between Dhurke or Athena!1 If it were allowed I'd love Ari's Clay because we've psl'd enough to make him a Real Boy.

SAME WHAT CASTMATES FROM GOLDEN KAMUY AND--I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YAKUZA ARE THERE CASTMATES??? I KNOW THERE'S A CHICKEN

[eatsthecanary]

GOLDEN KAMUY, Sugimoto / Asirpa / Taaaanigaki maybe?? Sugimoto is Ogata's MORTAL NEMESIS at this point in canon and Asirpa is basically his morality pet because she does believe in redeeming (tm) him. She also has the problem of being 13 but also she's a 13 year old who has Seen So Much Shit at this point. Tanigaki is an old war buddy of his who is very cute and very muscley, third slot is kind of a toss up though since I'd also love Tsurumi or Hijikata.

YAKUZA!!! DOES HAVE CASTMATES, chicken is unfortunately not appable. KIRYUU is the series' mainest protag, he is a Very Serious Very Good Man and Majima chases him for literally an entire game trying to get him to kick his ass. MAKOTO is Majima's canon love interest who I'd also kill for and then SAEJIMA is his sworn brother who I haven't played the games with him in it mostly but rest assured I would be v pleased with him also.

If you didn't play who you played from your canon(s) WHO ELSE

[worldlyafflictions]

You mentioned Pink slotted himself in a similar place as Gold, what’s that mean?

[neigh_sayer]

SO BASICALLY C has two ways of making friends; either via his cutesy normal act or harassing them until they either reject him or agree to be his friend/subordinate. PINK HAS OBVIOUSLY FALLEN INTO THE LATTER.

And the thing is, C doesn't actually mind when people disagree with him, or show a little resistance! He loves a chase, and treats it as a game! He also doesn't expect most people to go along with his bullshit so easily. But Pink surprised him, because he and Gold are the only people to be like "......yeah sure" so soon despite OBVIOUSLY HAVING DOUBTS and being wary of this weird gremlin person. So it took him off guard!! Especially since he was trying to be deliberately off putting. But it also slid Pink into a category of "reliable pushover but still sturdy." Someone C thinks he can bully and he will constantly try pushing his boundaries with Pink in the future.

Basically welcome to harassment central.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS ME

[worldlyafflictions]

FIRST IMPRESSIONS is that despite being kind of a creepy gremlin, C seems to have like.... oddly protective intentions toward pep!pep! Or well, Pink isn't sure if it's all of pep!pep! or just a few. He didn't pay that close attention to what C said to Sunrise in Cardigan's live--he caught that one a little late. But he did have the general impression that C was going like 'oh noooo' at Sunrise in an act that he doesn't pull around Pink, which he interpreted as protective, basically. C also, through his weird intense Smile Smile stuff, has dropped advice on Pink a couple times on how to deal with Imeeji, so that's mostly what's been informing his responses. He's not 100% that he's reading C right, but what he's able to glean under all the posturing is that he's not out to hurt anyone. C also went out of his way to tell Pink he was doing good for trying to get his unitmates to slow down, so despite Pink being like 'MMmmm what a weirdo...', he has a positive impression of C, lol. Slightly flattered he caught a werido's attention??? Pink basically agreed to C's deal right away because he figures it's harmless (due to all of the above) and tbh puts him on C's side so hopefully harassment will mostly be in a helpful vein. He was actually kind of surprised C offered to make it a trial period after he already accepted so now he's PRETTY SURE C means it that he doesn't expect his ""subordinates"" to just do as he says, and that C might make more gestures toward earning loyalty for real if it ends up mattering to him.

He hasn't decided if he'll be going along with C's nonsense a lot or if he'll need to sass him more, but he loves prank shenanigans so A+ gremlin so far.

[heroicsacrifeyes]

HI C TELL ME ABOUT OUR FRIENDSHIPS

[neigh_sayer]

WHEEZE

AYANO -

AT THE MOMENT, C only likes Ayano superficially. He does think she's a genuinely nice, good, person! And also a bit extreme!! Maybe a bit reckless but not the good kind? Worrying!! He is mostly worried for her for B's sake, and is also lowkey jealous because he's just like that. She's automatically B's favorite person! Why was B disguising himself as her? Why is she here let him take care of B fffft--

SO!! He's doing his gd best to keep up a Nice Boy act, and knows his feelings are irrational. Ayano is cute and he thinks hey, maybe they could be friends! But he's not pushing himself to get too close, and can't help it when some of his mask slips. REALLY HOPES SHE DOESN'T DIE ANY TIME SOON 8' )


MORI. Mori, whew.
C very obviously likes Mori!! I mean he likes anyone that will pay attention to him AND play with him, but Mori has the added bonus of his Hero thing, which C just instinctively! Utterly loves! Just the concept of heroes and law enforcement fascinate him in canon, and his "villainy" is more so just pushing others to do their best while not harming anyone else. In Imeeji this translates to him very much admiring those who want to help or save others, and he wants those people to do well, because they can spark a passion in people that he can't.

ON THE FLIP SIDE. He utterly hates blind faith, naivety and hollow words. It's just another form of lying to him, and while he doesn't remember it, he's a huge hypocrite that hates other liars and those that fit into his weird definition of it. Mori does not actually fit into it! He's smart and analytical in addition to being a hero trope! C initially wrote him off as another naive HSS but as demonstrated over time he has quickly become Very Very Interested.

THEN ALL THAT SHIT HAPPENED which basically exploded from C having a very Ideal Vision of a hero in his head and forcing that and his ideals on Mori until they escalated. He hated it! He did not actually want to hurt him but felt angry that he was hurt in return? UGH FEELINGS WHY. TL;DR he was very annoyed and it's really the first time in Imeeji he was forced to question his own actions. Even when he outed A and got chewed out by B he didn't actually feel bad; it was more so "Don't do this thing B will get mad at me" rather than learning a lesson.

WHICH IS.......ALSO SORT OF WHAT HAPPENED HERE. Except he did learn a little but moreso he is like "I WANT MORI TO PAY ATTENTION TO ME SO I WILL DO THINGS HE LIKES" except Mori does like C for C so C is like "oh it's being an asshole, that is the problem. I...guess. I GUESS"

Anyway the whole ordeal has bumped Mori up to a person C is willing to slightly modify his behavior for, which in this case is just being slightly less of an asshole. He thinks that's reasonable!! And it doesn't really change who HE is. He still has a lot of uncomfortable and frustrating feelings about the whole thing, made even more fussy by Mori choosing B. He doesn't actually mind it, he had been pushing for it, and in the end it works out nicely for his own weird plans. So why does he still feel fussed, gosh.

He certainly doesn't have a crush though who has time for that here, not C!!! Anyway in sum still utterly fascinated with Mori and presents it via a mating dance of harassment.
