I'm a Terrible Person
Um, if you haven't gotten to the beginning of October in Persona 3 (any version!), don't read this, because it's a gigantic spoiler.
Okay, so, y'know Shinjiro? I was totally hell-bent on preventing him from joining my party from the moment I laid eyes on him. He's ugly, and it's a video game, so I'm allowed to be shallow. I don't want to spend double-digit hours staring at an ugly character against my will! That's not unreasonable! On top of all this, his language is awful and I don't find it endearing in any way whatsoever.
Every time he came on-screen, I was like, "No. No. You're not going to join my party. I'm not going to let you. Nope. Nope. Go away." Then he joined and I was horrified. DO NOT FREAKING WANT. He turned out to be the brute force character, and he was pretty much useless to me. Only his physical attacks were helpful, and half the time, he slipped when he went to attack. Way to screw up my battle tactics.
I even made sure he stayed the same level as everyone else! Argh!
Back to my story.
My friend was over, and we were hanging out and playing P3 and all this emo stuff happens and then Shinjiro gets shot. "Lol," I said. (I'm insensitive, okay? He's fictional!;;) My friend also partly lol'd about this, since she had just heard my "UGH THIS GUY IS UGLY AND I DISLIKE HIS PERSONALITY WHY IS HE STILL HERE THANK GOD HE WAS AWAY FOR THIS BOSS BATTLE".
Then he died.
My friend and I sat there sort of half laughing awkwardly and half going, "Uh, did that really just happen?" Freaking weird coincidence. Part of me is still going "lol" while the other half is going, "If I hate characters enough, will they really go away?!"
This is a terrible message to send me, Atlus. Please note my tags and the way I'm apparently not sure how I feel about half the stuff I write in my LJ.
