[X] I am interested in you. Did I not say I would be ruling the world in 20 years? I am on the lookout for potential Lieutenants, and you have certainly caught my eye.
 
[X] I want it all. Didn't I say I will be ruling the world in 20 years? Is it too strange for me to want to take a closer look at my future subjects?
-[X] I guess I am intrigued. You said you wanted to be an accountant, but that was not the whole truth, is it? You could say I am drawn other people who have something to hide.
-[X] Your classmates say you are 'too proud for your own good'. I can relate to that.
-[X] Plus, it's natural for me to attempt to succeed at something that apparently no one has managed before.

I just realized that both these people could be options we had to choose in chargen. Haemonculus was an option in the first post, and the ninja-bathrobe guy could be the Kagemusha heir.

You're partially correct. The Haemonculus you saw would have been a playable option, had you chosen that faction during chargen. The warrior is not the Kagemusha heir, just a member of the clan.
EDIT: VOTE LOCKED.

Meh. Generally unsatisfied with my own vote. Still, it does boil down to the 'interested' vote in the end, and that's not a want one would satisfy easily. Plus there are our own quirks at play that admittedly she does not know about.

But the more I think about it, the more I consider that Victor might have approached her because she is doing Pride wrong, setting herself apart from people and shooing away everyone who dares speak to her. Contrast it with our Pride that makes us the embodiment of a model student and serves as a motivation to make our life better, not worse. Naturally, this grave misuse of Sin potential is something that we just can not abide. There is no such thing as being too proud for your own good because being proud is for your own good - as far as we are concerned, that is. That'd be an interesting angle to pursue.

We'll see. Hope we don't botch it too badly.

If she has a sin embodiment I would honestly go with Wrath.
 
I don't think she is an embodiment of Sin, it's the Daemon's thing to be one. I think she is a perfectly normal human, for a given definition of 'normal'. She has issues with both - and probably then some.

Still, having something that we think of as a QoL improvement actively work to the person's detriment is something that we'd find painful to watch.

We are Proud and Diligent. We are kinda like an evil male Nanoha. She is going to become our friend, no matter what. She doesn't have a choice in the matter.

    You stare at her for several seconds. Then, slowly, you smile.

    "Do you remember where I told everyone I'd be in twenty years?" you ask her. "I told them I'd be ruling the world."

    "Most of them laughed, or gave me funny looks." You continue. "A few of them looked like they wanted to object to the idea of a dictatorship. They thought I was joking. Let me tell you, here and now. I am not joking. I will rule the world. I will be king. This is fact."

    "The measure of the king is determined by three factors. The greatness of the king. The greatness of the kingdom. And the greatness of his people."

    "My inherent greatness should already be clear. I haven't yet established a kingdom to make great, so I can't really prepare for that. But I can start collecting subjects now. And I want you to be one of my subjects."

    "So, to answer your question? The thing about you that I'm interested in? Is you."

    She blinks at you blankly. Then comprehension makes its way across her features. Along with anger. Oops? "You mean you just want me? Like some kind of trophy? Proof of your superiority?"

    And of course she misunderstood you completely. Of course. Well, if you deny it, she won't believe you, Better to misdirect her. "No. My superiority is self-evident, we already discussed this. I want you because you're interesting."

    "Our classmates say that befriending you is impossible. I don't believe them. I think that most of the time, when someone says something is impossible, they just haven't been trying hard enough. That, or they're doing it wrong."

    "Befriending you isn't impossible. It's just difficult, because you push everyone away. No one is this cold or this irate all the time, not unless they have something to prove or they want to hide something. I don't think you have something to prove. You told us all you wanted to be an accountant. Well, I don't believe you. I think you were lying. I think if you became an accountant, you'd probably murder your first client within a week or something. I think you're hiding from us and from yourself. And I think that that makes you interesting. I think it makes you unique. So yes, I want you, but I want you to be my peer, not my pet. And if you don't want me? Then you're out of luck, because I'm damn well going to be your friend anyway!"

    You're breathing hard when you finish your diatribe. Your face is flushed, and you're starting to realize that you may have gotten a little heated when she accused you of not recognizing her own identity, her own Pride. And then you stop, because your finely honed instincts are telling you that something you may have said might be coming across the wrong way, because Kaho has just turned so pale that she'd blend in perfectly with a snowstorm.

    Her mouth opens. "I don't-." She pauses. Tries again. "You shouldn't- ". She shakes her head. "That's not a good idea." She finally informs you, in a voice that completely lacks all of her typical confidence and hatred. "Being friends with me isn't a good choice. I had friends before when I was young, in elementary school. They never lasted very long." Her face fills with determination. "Don't try to be my friend. For your own good."

    You glare at her. This annoys you. You might even go so far as to say it pisses you off, just a little bit. "Fuck. You. You don't get to tell me what to do. I'm going to be your friend. That's final."

    "I'm trying to protect you here!" She hisses.

    "I neither want nor need to be protected." You inform her icily.

    "You arrogant self-centered egoistic-"

    "Problem?" You inquire faux-helpfully.

    Surprisingly, she punches you. In the face, right on the nose. Ow. As your head snaps back, you have to commend her for her accuracy and strength, if nothing else. If you were a normal person, that would have broken your nose. As you recover from her sudden violence, she slams to her feet and stomps out of the classroom.

    There is silence.

    "Women." You sigh with feeling. "At least I'm not injured. Can we get on with the lesson now?"

    -INTERVAL-​

    You seek her out again after school. You'd looked for her at lunch, but hadn't found her. Now, you'd indulged that arcane sixth sense of yours, and found her lurking in a stairwell. You walked down and sat next to her.

    "If you want an apology, you're not getting one." She finally growled.

    You shrug. "Don't want one." You inform her. "I just wanted to let you know that you missed the English project we've been assigned, and you'll probably want to finish it out of school, since it's due tomorrow." You pause. "Also, we've been selected to be partners for this project." Mostly because you requested it of the teacher, but she doesn't need to know that.

    "So, your house or mine?" You inquire helpfully?

    "Not mine." She declares. "There's no way I'm letting you anywhere near my family. Maybe we could just finish it up at school?" She offers.

    You're about to have an excellent opportunity to spend several hours getting to know Kaho better. Where do you want to do it?

    [] Insist on her house. You want to meet her family.
    [] Just do it at school. Maybe she'll be more inclined to talk if she feels like she's gotten a concession out of you.
    [] Let her come over to your apartment. There's no way this could go wrong.

    QM: Yeah, bit of a lengthy break, sorry about that. In my defense, the first dialogue did not want to be written at all. I'm still unsatisfied with it. Also, just be aware that while this quest may have short hiatuses, as dictated by my life, it will never die so long as people are interested.

    This can only lead to good things. Only good things.
     
    Well, that was one benevolent interpretation of that vote.

    We have all but admitted who we are by now. For someone who declares his right to rule the world at class introduction, the only hope for subtlety is Refuge in Audacity. RAMMING SPEED!
