[X] Go To Bear
*strikes down the "Hazō is Jashin" theory from the top of the theory wall, putting it in second position behind "Hidan is Hazō"*
And we have all these cultists...
Ami: Ah, sealmasterese jargon, cute
HE WAS PLAYING THE LONG CON SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING EEEEEEEE
I think we've all hoped our love life would be that conveniently managed at one point. Never thought this quest would go to such lengths of wish-fulfilment... well, except that time with the flying and the ten times we broke the world and that thing with the thing, oh and nukes also
The universe relating to Beirut, clearly
That is either saying something important about us, or about her. Come to think of it, that might be saying something about Singularity. Or about Bear.
She says, using "abstract" to mean something other than a linguistic concept about nominal reference 🙄
... but I get it. Why do living languages have to... do that.
Yeowch. Hidan's was terrible! or... so I think I remember.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOO YEEEAAAAHHHHH-- wait no that's assault- WAIT NO THAT'S FICTION, BACK TO WHOO YEAH

Naw, poison has no effect on ninja because mithridatism training or something. Glad Hazo didn't skip it like he did mithridacy.
Oh great, another opportunity to point out that that are many many poisons mithridatism doesn't work on 🙄
I dislike this worldbuilding decision.

I believe hemlock is bitter.
I might use that if Hazō ever ends up kissing Kei.
Your mistake is you aren't using chakra mithridatism.

Sure, but chakra hemlock-
Fine. Nightshade. That would be cool actually, poisonous black lipstick that causes delirium, convulsions, and death. The fanfic writes itself.
Hang on, is nightshade dangerous through the skin? *quick google* damn it. Yet another trope ruined by science, here toxic alkaloids being dangerous enough to apparently cause respiratory failure through skin contact.

Pretty sure Enma is the only ex in there.
Wouldn't you want a layer of protection (and color) between the lip poison and your own lip anyway?

Refraining from licking your own lips is one thing and easily-achieved enough. The expectation being that you will get some inside the other's mouth and not in yours, at any rate. There is something *cough* thematically and literarily interesting *cough* in arousing in the target the desire that directly causes their demise -- the more steps added to the stratagem, preparation, extra layers, and so on... the less direct that relation is. It becomes the story of a plan, the story of a daring attempt, a surprising way to pull off a difficult poisoning job, but it can no longer be a tale of emotion turned consequence.
Now if the poison could not penetrate the skin, that would be grand. Damned dangerous things though, they are dangerous. The cheek of it.

That's some style. Alright, I'm sold, I'm now onboard Hazou x Snowflake. @RandomOTP, do you have a private cabal where you plot or something?

@RandomOTP I've just reread "Interlude: In Which Kei Attempts to Update Hazō's Shipping Chart" and I think that it is further evidence for why Kei might want to increase her weaker social stats. I'm sure there are more examples like that one within the whole body of the story. I'm pinging you because you were the one who discussed this topic with me last time I brought it up.
Anyway, the tl;dr to why that chapter is relevant to the discussion is that Kei could not just use intimidation but had to use presence in the second round while tagging a tag she created with intimidation. In the body of the chapter she then mentioned how she couldn't rely on intimidation exclusively and how it would be a crutch otherwise. And she wasn't able to proceed with deception either, despite that being her second best social attack stat.

I don't know if the technicality of applying two lipsticks instead of one is as damaging to the narrative as you imply. It's the kind of detail that can be put into a story with one throwaway line. Hell, it's the kind of detail that doesn't need to be included in the text at all and can instead be given as a WoG in some forum when the author is questioned on why the character used a poison that should have seeped into their own skin.

I'm fine with leveling Presence as a secondary attack social stat, but it's going to fall behind Intimidation (her primary social attack stat) and Deceit (her primary social defense stat).
I just don't think we can raise Presence up to a meaningful amount in the time that we have before she leaves for Mist --especially since she's hella stagnated right now.
You may note that the term used was ex-co-husbands. Asuma being dead makes him no longer married to anyone and therefore his former co-husbands are now ex-co-husbands. Please try to keep pedantry accurate in the future, if you really can't restrain the urge.
