It's been two days since we tagged—what is this, what are we doing with our lives.

... o right, you're out on vacation. Still.

I'm sure you've exhausted all patience by now for comments about how much your Ikki's adored. Too bad. I love how much you play up his terrible moments: how he's petty and a bastard and kind of gross, okay—and at the same time so obviously, terribly awkwardly devoted to his team that it's charming and awful all at once. You put a lot of coding thought into him, it shows and it's a delight every time to tag him, whether it's bickering or excess bullying or those rare pre-bickering moments where he approximates something like to seriousness and probably causes skirtflips throughout Air Gear by doing so. I love that he takes everything to 12, even if it's absolutely silly. It just seems very much in keeping with Itsuki "That Crazy Flying Bastard" Minami, and I adore reading it, playing off of it, etc! Sometimes I re-read our threads and make incoherent ♥♥♥ gestures. IT'S ALL ENTIRELY DESERVED, OKAY.

The one thing I'd ask for clarification on is—actually something that hasn't technically come up in gameplay! So I got curious. You mentioned in the questions meme that he didn't give a damn about the city at large in trouble so much as Agito's trecks, in the desert. Which flies against the whole shounen save-the-world vibe! I was wondering if you'd expand—how do you see Ikki's views on saving folks?

... look, it's three AM and I tried very hard to bring something constructive, I'm going to bed now. If we don't have at least one thread going by the end of the next three days, I will cry.

Also, in before the rest of the cast.
