Greed on Azula!

[material_guy]

To summarize it, his thoughts on her are mostly as a spectator. His take on her is hit-and-miss: She's still that cool-but-hot-headed kid who likes war, practicality, and her not!family who include some off-world mother, a little sister-cousin-baby-thing he saw once, and some religious order he assumes to be a bunch of combat wizards. Since he thinks she's kind of a prude, the fact that it's a religious order seems fitting to him (but then their head matron always dresses so sexy in that series

"Greed tends to avoid posts that require reading unless he already knows the person enough to be interested, it's short, or it's very flashy with a notable keyword of interest. Though when Azula posts text, she's in that first category,"

SHE WOULD BE FLATTERED TO HEAR THIS

... Only not really. 8( ANYWAY thank you for the tl;dr; it's very interesting and I'm bookmarking it. :P

[material_guy]

I'm not sure it's bookmark quality, but I'm glad if it entertained you.

[losethreepounds]

You should see how many bookmarks I have. XD Everything interesting is bookmark quality.

Ozaki on both and Greed on DM

[material_guy]

Ozaki - Issun - Toshio's in an "everybody's irresponsible and sucks besides me" mode; oh, sure, he's pointedly avoiding making headway on his own vampire problem by pulling a Hamlet, but the difference is that HE'S sweating it! Issun seems to be involved in something that's as big as the stars themselves, but he's a flippant artist who thinks of things through such lofty views as the gods and religion...! ... is what he'd like to think, but he does have a rational side. That Issun can view things from the more broad perspective, seeing the world as a round, fluid existence is similar to his best friend who, despite siding with the Okiagari to this point, is still respectable if not dear to him. It's admirable that he can see hope in even Kefka. But at the same time, he's sure principles are better debated and judged when there aren't lives on the line; lives are always on the line with Kefka

AHHH. Thank you for taking the time to write this up! I love all Ozaki and Greed threads. Even if the Ozaki/DM ones are now 'oh god, why do I put him through this'. But he'll only think of her as a loli, huh?

[material_guy]

I enjoy the sound of my own voice keys.... tapping?

It's not that Ozaki thinks of her as a loli so much as someone who would not normally want to be having sexy times with him, whom he almost did it with anyway because... well, it's the because that's a tangled web, but if I had to pick a single word to describe it, I'd go with laziness. Too lazy NOT to sleep with someone.

[lamuerteverde]

Then I appreciate you liking the sound of your keys tapping, Greedmun-sensei!!!

More laziness than actual temptation, huh? Poor doc. ;.; Believe me, she feels bad, too.

[material_guy]

Laziness also includes being too lazy to beat down base temptation, both physical and psychosocial, which is why he feels so sick with himself over it all. It isn't as if he's chronically, tragically lonely, he's not an Evangelion character; it's plain old ennui. Greed loves and thrives on fleeting connections of convenience, business and entertainment; Ozaki sees them as an inescapable fact of a social species. It could be called Sotoba Syndrome, for how common it is amongst the human mains in Shiki.

[lamuerteverde]

Okay okay! Thanks for clarifying.

sotoba syndrome.../snrk

Greed on Light?

[material_guy]

He suspects Light is not actually interested in Fujiyoshi the way he claimed he was, but while there's still something weird about him, he's "solved" it and "won" at least in as far as Light admitted a fake defeat, so pride doesn't require him to go after it when he's lost interest. He's more interested in putting Light to use... which, since he doesn't have any detective tasks, is perhaps better put as "he's more interested in counting Light amongst his possessions." If Naoto ever starts playing regularly again, he'll set them up against each other for his own amusement, but since he has at least one detective in Light now, he's come to accept the fact that Naoto's not really enough of a presence to count as his beyond as a technicality anymore
