So, while Mia is attempting to drag her brain out of inactivity and staring in horror at her pile of half-finished tl;dr tags...Comment here, and I'll reply with what Uni thinks of your character -- or, if they haven't met yet, what she would probably think about him/her. (This might be especially useful if you'd like to log or plot.) I'll date

Sooooob why you do this, Anne ;; /drags self away from newfound addiction with an effort slkdhflkf

Ahah, but, based on Uni's interaction with Anko in sex dice, I think there's much more there than the seduction (or corruption) of an innocent. Uni, after all, is not as much of an innocent as she likes other people to think she is. Maybe if she knew more about Anko she'd feel a certain kinship with her, but unlike one who was broken and then abandoned, Uni was broken only to be remade. She's more fortunate than Anko in that sense, and she probably wouldn't understand the chaos of Anko's feelings for Orochimaru because her own feelings toward Byakuran seem, to her, very clear-cut.

But okay, back to the seduction part. Headcanon says that while Uni doesn't acknowledge the possibility of her own attractiveness she's not above using it to get what Byakuran wants, but only as a means to an end, nothing more. Thus, Anko's hedonism is utterly foreign to her, and she's both intrigued and repulsed by it. Intrigued because doing something for its own sake (or the pleasure attached to the doing) isn't one of the possibilities she often considers; repulsed because... well, for the same reason, really. The kind of things Uni would like to do (if she weren't trapped by her duty, trapped by her bonds to Byakuran, trapped by her promises to herself and to the dead) don't fall in that category at all, so Anko's uninhibited indulgence of her... appetites isn't a trait Uni shares.

She will try to understand it, though, as much as she is able -- and parse it into observations and analysis for her reports to Byakuran. She can do that much.

And of course, if ever Anko tries to do something, Uni will, at most, put up only a token resistance. Uni's first lesson was in compliance and surrender, all the better to find out where that other person might lead -- that's what she went with in that crack!encounter with Anko. What she didn't expect was the sheer physicality of it, and afterwards she did feel terribly guilty about maybe having enjoyed it, but then again... that's Uni. When she's not being indifferent, creepy, distracted, or plain brainwashed, she's being guilty.

Outside the context of crack/smut, I think Anko's brokenness, if ever it slips past her facade, would ping Uni more than the poison (though that's a pretty obvious ping right there). Until now Uni still refuses to think of herself as a poisoner, a person who's sent several men and women (and a... person who was little more than a child, once) to their deaths. She's still ever and only Byakuran's possession, and it's in that context that she views much of the world. Poison, therefore, takes a secondary position to the fundamental experience of having been devoted to a master once upon a time.

omggg delicious tl;dr~ (what's this new addiction?)

I think Anko would even be more, instead of less, interested in Uni, if she found out the girl isn't as innocent as she pretends to be. In a way, a little jealous of her, like she is with Gin, just because she's devoted to someone who does own her completely and hasn't abused that power by throwing her away in the breaking.

Anko could show Uni how to have a little fun, she's convinced. But at the same time, again, she is a little envious of the utter control Uni has over her emotions, desires, etc. Anko is ruled by her passions (oh dear, what a typical Scorpio), and controlling them is a task for her. Guilt is something she's a close companion with, and she's learned to deal with that. So pulling people into her hedonism, getting them to feel such guilt--it's a kind of revenge, really.

Ahh, see, therein lies the difference. Anko is a murderer, and she knows it. It's her job. Sure, she justifies it to herself through various ways, but it's who and what she is. The devotion...she recognizes that, and she remembers it and, yeah, sometimes she does wish she could be like that again. Because even though she was still someone who killed and poisoned and did experiments on people, she was, in a strange way, innocent.
