#i wanna do more stuff involving jay not being used to receiving affection and friendship since he's been in hiding

what are the ninjas thoughts on cabinet man jay when they first meet him

okay so when the ninja first meet jay they think he's just another NPC. that's what scott told them after all - that Superstar Rockin' Jay was an NPC popstar hiding out from Unagami, and he knew a lot about the game and has been here the longest so he's their best bet of finding out information about Unagami

So they find this guy performing a show with a crowd of people - NPCs and League of Jay members - in a secret underground base and then the second he spots them he LIGHTS UP and starts rambling off their achievements while sparking electricity

Lloyd, being the green ninja, IMMEDIATELY knows that this is the master of lightning. He can't explain how he knows that the lightning is elemental in origin he just knows it and he's like hOW DID AN NPC BECOME AN ELEMENTAL MASTER

Cole and Nya are amused by him, they both think he's kinda cute. Cole's a musically inclined person so they click pretty easily. Cole and Jay become genuine friends fast, and Cole's very sad at the idea that he might have to leave Jay in the game after defeating Unagami (luckily for Cole he won't have to worry about that :D )

Nya's SUPER impressed by his skills in inventing and mechanics, he did his entire stage, lights, effects, everything all from scratch (because again you can pry inventor jay from my cold dead hands)

Kai thinks he needs to shut up and doesn't like how he keeps flirting with both his sister and Cole LMAO but he's impressed by his ninja skills and Lloyd seems to trust him right off the bat, which helps Kai warm up to him too. Eventually him and Jay start getting along pretty well, cracking jokes and stuff

The team is surprised at just how fast Jay seems to fill this unspoken void within the group, and Jay's so lonely and desperate for connection that he doesn't hesitate to join up with them (even if it means having to face Unagami)
