HAHAH first impression of Kit "What a nice guy." Shortly thereafter "What a nice guy who is reeaaally touchy feely and possessive. Um. Wow. Issues much?" and then "Oh, mind control bugs. Whatever, it's not like I mind too much I guess?" and then "Now he's kind of freaking me out..." and then "Oh god what is this moron doing he's going to get himself killed for me and it's going to be my fault and I can't stop it no! Why?!"
More coherently, he liked Kit from the start. Even crazy darkness'd Kit with all his possessive teamyan, because, well. Shark always felt Kit cared I guess? Despite being extreme. And Shark, let's be honest, doesn't really mind the extreme forms of showing you care. So KEEP CORAL HERDED from Kit was a little exasperating and at times a little alarming and very upsetting, but Shark always thought Kit meant well and had a good heart and was a good person. Kind of why he was all "huh?" when Kit made the joke about awful first impressions because honestly, aside from upsetting Shark that one time in the cabin, it didn't really bother Shark. Clingy and possessive is rather similar to his best friend in canon, even down to smiling over his issues and draping all over Mikado, so really Shark found it all kind of a non issue mostly.
Until Kit got better and tried to rescue him from Judith and suddenly all the danger around wasn't exciting and interesting, it was real and Kit might die (especially right after finding dying Blizzard) and then Shark went from kind of derpy "everything is interesting" to extremely possessive and protective very fast.
Kit's one of the people Shark's had the most interaction with, so by that nature he's already one of Shark's most important people. This is on top of being in Coral so. Kit means a lot to Shark! Shark trusts him, but he also thinks he's very stupid (not in general stupid, he thinks Kit is smart, but survival!stupid). Shark doesn't mind their incredibly dumb arguments about just about everything, actually to him that's just kind of their dynamic, so he never resents Kit's disagreement or opinion as it differs from his own. What DOES concern him is the worry that Kit's point of view is going to get him into (more) unnecessary trouble and danger in the future, and that Kit will be too stubborn to listen if Shark ever has anything to contribute that might get them out of it--for example, surrendering to Judith where Kit refused to go along.
Shark's also kind of, by nature and inclination, a leader. Kit seems to more or less by the spokesman of Coral, in terms of taking action. Shark doesn't want to replace Kit at that, but his natural inclination is to butt heads with him a lot because they really just honestly do not see eye to eye on method, means or motive--somehow they want the same thing and have completely diverging ideas of the way to go about it, and Shark is not inclined to be quiet about his opinions. Even in canon, though he's more soft spoken about it a lot, Mikado is quiet but firm, he has backbone to back his decisions and he's hard as hell to sway.
The difference for Shark and Mikado is Mikado hesitates, reasons, and deliberates a hell of a lot more before deciding on things, and Shark is a bit more impulsive and intuitive, partly because with so little information and past to go on, he has little choice but to be decisive on a shorter timeframe. He can either go with the flow or make half-informed choices. It's also why he may not be quite as implacable in arguing with Kit over things, because Kit has more experience and knowledge, so Shark does trust and rely on that. He just more or less disagrees with how Kit goes about many things.
I don't know. He really really likes/loves/values Kit as his friend/family, he admires Kit's bravery and strength and enjoys Kit's humor and resolve and sense of fun. But he wants to smack Kit for being stupid a lot and has no plans to let Kit run around doing as he pleases. Though he's also not sure what to do to convince Kit that sometimes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, when it comes to doing things cautiously.
So I guess basically Kit is really important to him and also really frustrates him, but that doesn't make Kit any less important at all. And yeah he has a lot of yan feelings towards Kit in particular because of that fight with Judith.
Reverse me.

He does feel kind of .-. that Shark arrived at such a bad time, though. And he is a little .-. that Shark immediately saw him at his worst. Even if Shark doesn't think much about how he was during the event, Kit is 100% horrified with everything he did and super wishes he would have had time to impress more of his true self on Shark before the darkness possessed him like that. HE IS GRATEFUL SHARK ISN'T HOLDING IT AGAINST HIM THOUGH... but he will be going out of his way to ensure Shark that he would never be as uncomfortably possessive under normal circumstances that he was during the darkness mosquito invasion. Despite loving Coral and wanting to help them, Kit also places huge value on people being individuals capable of making their own choices, which is why he rebutted Shark's commentary that he was "Coral's." Because he's not, in his mind-- he belongs to himself! He just happens to be on a pink team filled with people he cares about (this is sort of a tangent though so I will move on).
And beyond all the friendliness and teasing and wanting to ensure Shark that he isn't cruelly possessive on a normal basis, Kit has definitely picked up that... despite being a new kid, Shark already has a few other layers to him beyond his friendly exterior. Those first came out when Shark was snippy at him for putting himself in danger to save him and refusing to surrender to Judith... a hint of the yandere side Kit had during the event that dooooes kind of make him :T;; a bit. Because Kit doesn't regret putting himself in danger to rescue Shark, nor does he regret his decision not to surrender (though Shark is right, part of that decision was a pride thing for Kit-- and he has a lot of it). In addition to that, Shark is smart! And Kit recognizes this and definitely thinks it's a good thing. He would never say that any of Shark's ideas are bad, just different pathways that Kit himself wouldn't take because his methodology for handling problems is different (Kit has developed into someone who goes through problems rather than around them, which is hilarious because in canon it's the opposite). And I'm sure there will be a situation where Kit would even agree with Shark's plan of action because Kit himself is also pretty smart and can recognize a good plan when he hears one. That just hasn't happened yet 'cause Kit's huuuge sense of defiance and bravado doesn't allow him to show weakness... be it by surrendering, oooor accepting a role thrust upon him that he doesn't want (which I think were their two main DIFFERENCES IN METHODOLOGY arguments they've had so far).
It's true though that their differing senses of how to handle situations will make Kit butt heads with Shark just as much as Shark butts heads with him. Kit isn't so much a natural leader or spokesperson as he is someone with strong opinions who wants the best for everyone (he's actually more of a loan wolf and struggles with team because of this)... though he can step into leadership roles when required (he's already done it before and would easily do it again). He's also already learned to accept the opinions of his teammates in some situations though-- had he been in on the conversations with Shark during Three's game, he would have agreed wholeheartedly with his teammate's proposition. But even so, he respects Shark's intelligence and doesn't at all thing he's dumb... he just disagrees (and gets a bit frustrated that Shark disagrees with him). And while Shark is still filed away as "NEWBIE I MUST LOOK OUT FOR," espeeeecially after Kit had to (attempt) to rescue him from Judith, I actually don't imagine him staying there for long.
tl;dr, Shark kind of frustrates Kit a bit too due to their differing views, but he already acknowledges that despite being new (and despite still needing to be looked after right now) he has capabilities and potential :|b GOOD IMPRESSIONS.
What are Shark's thoughts on Aather's KIDNAPPING, AMNESIA, TEAM, PLAY GAMES FOR MEMORIES system?
no subject
Anyhow, views on Aather.
To be honest Shark thinks Aather is fucking cool. It's exciting and new and like (literally) being in a story and it's not boring and this is important. None of the shiny newness is close to wearing off so despite trauma, Shark's pretty happy. He loves weird excitement and this is as weird and exciting as he can imagine.
He doesn't care that he doesn't have memories because he doesn't remember anything worth caring about yet. He cares more that something (his memories) was taken from him without his consent. That's upsetting. But he just plans to take back what is his in due time, and enjoy it while he does. The games system intrigues him and he wants very badly to figure out the exact mechanics and if they can be harnessed by heroes, not just Personae. Because he would like to try that--running a game that is. Well, that's just how he thinks, he wants to see what's possible, what rules Heroes can bend, what rules he can rewrite. He wants to push past the limits of now and expand and grow and evolve and... Yeah. He's too inquisitive and power hungry. And it's definitely power hungry, his interest in finding the lines and where he can blur them, but for a lot of reasons that aren't just for power's sake. Which is another tangent.
Anyway I rambled about his team a bit up there, but he feels strongly about them. And would feel strongly were one of them kidnapped again. And also back to the game system, he kind of wants to, to make a video game metaphor, over level and hack and gameshark the shit out of the system for his benefit and so he can protect Coral better.
This may have been a ramble.
How would Kit react to Mikado's deeper crazy, do you think?
no subject
And I would super love it if Shark and Kit came to a mutual balancing understanding, that would be awesome, especially since I think they compliment each other well as teammates! AND THEIR CONFLICTS AND DISAGREEMENTS ARE FUN. Gosh, I love this CR a lot too :'D
As for the crazy, he would probably back up a bit and tell Shark to chill out. A lot. '-' Especially now since he has kind of delved into that sort of crazy himself, however temporary, and has seen first hand how it negatively affects his teammates. There is a difference, to Kit, between wanting to protect your teammates and wanting to protect your teammates, and he doesn't think that crossing that boundary into crazy land is a good way to do it. He would definitely understand the underlying motives that drive the behavior though, and he'd probably actively try to divert that behavior into something more healthy.
As for all of the power hungry REWRITE THE RULES crazy, that would be something Kit would support |Da And probably try to help with.
Does Mikado have any strong impressions of any other teams in Aather? If so, which ones, and which other team is his favorite besides Coral?
no subject
Their CR is a thing of beauty. I really look forward to wherever it goes.
I think Shark's yan may be less KEEP THE TEAM SAFE INSIDE like Kit's and more the aggressive, go ax crazy on those that put them in danger. Would Kit care about that? They could at least work on the REWRITE THE RULES crazy together.
He doesn't even know all the teams because I've been trying but CR IS HARD. His impressions are strongest of Sapphire and Tiger's Eye, with some Kunzite.
Sapphire are BROS and he loves them all that he's met (except Judith) and basically trusts them. Likewise, he hasn't met many Kunzite, Just Bones and Homura, but he thinks the team are trustworthy, if... Awkward. They seem... Sincere, at least the two he's met.
Tiger's Eye he likes who he's met of, though as a time he doesn't have an impression.
Tell me Kit's general feels on coming back from Darkness?
