A lack of a Hold-Up mechanic in strikers means that Zenkichi has never witnessed these kids corner and mug shadows for every little penny theyre worth. I think he would lose his mind. Hes trotting around the metaverse w teenagers that have too much experience holding shadows at gunpoint to get what they want. When did this become his life. Neko shogun throws out a snuff soul as an offering and Akira doesnt remove the gun from its face. ‘You can do better than that.’ What the hell do u mean??? Its a fucking cat! It throws another snuff soul on the ground in fear before Akira decides to finally lower the gun and let the cat run off. At least they arent killing the damn things w their backs turned.

#chattin #a game like strikers would be unable to use hold ups efficiently; its all about combos and SPEED #but thinking about him seeing them do one anyway is so funny.#‘follow my lead’ ‘um. what lead. huh. HUH-‘#hed get over it quickly enough; these shadows are out here casting spells like ‘die in one hit’ and ‘burn in gods light’ or whatever #so he cant be very sympathetic for long. lol #on the flipside i think sophia would be ecstatic to do hold ups #its a group activity ! yay !!#and she can use the extra money to buy things from the shop :) its a win win!#i think its doubly funny bc i deviate from the gameplay rules when writing stuff #and i fully believe hold ups are done by the person who dealt the final blow #so its not just akira talking to shadows; it could be anyone #theyve all got a way with words. and whoever is matched up poorly is usually substituted by another teammate #i should maybe make a post about that actually #anyway. it would mean zenkichi and sophia occassionally interrogate shadows #and sophia is not the best but she tries #and zenkichi is REALLY good at it over the initial shock #which is funny bc his job is like. about de-escalation and dealing w the public #but from seeing him knock out two grown men in one punch; he is not good at THAT job #my man craves violence….he should be able to instill the fear of god in his targets…as a treat
