SASUKE DISAPPEARED FOR A WHILE, but he come back sure? Right now he's focusing on his swordsmanship since he got that back recently. ALSO HE'S BEEN A LOT MORE QUIET AND AGGRESSIVE, but Chariot is someone he can interact with without the pressure to having to talk about feelings so he's a safe sparring partner.
Okay uh, the biggest thing right now is that Chariot is kind of breaking up with Yuri?! Not in the' we were dating' way but mostly he is really tired of getting frustrated over Yuri getting hurt all the time by Vincent (and he's now pretty aware of it being Vincent that does it) and himself not really being able to say anything because he and Yuri made a vague agreement a while ago to not really get up in each other's business. So Chariot's been avoiding doing that! But also in general they really haven't been talking, and when they do they don't really talk about themselves, just general conversation topics, so while they were comfortable with each other there was never a push to get closer so they didn't.
Most recently Vincent swung by and dropped off Yuri's mauled body and was like 'lol here take care of that :)' at him. Chariot had always been aware he couldn't really say anything to Yuri about his relationship with Vincent, but to have Vincent confidently come around and make Chariot deal with the consequences of their relationship knowing he wouldn't do anything was just... so absolutely frustrating for Chariot that he just decided then and there to /quit the whole thing. So in that thread he pretty much just called Mithos over, made sure Yuri wasn't in danger of dying immediately, then left to go pick a fight with Hibari because he was so upset at himself for not doing or saying SOMETHING earlier and letting it get to this place.
This is also riding closely on the back of the whole Vincent/Ruby/Turq murder drama thing, in which a Ruby and a Turq got murdered, both being teams Chariot was close to at the time, and Vincent came out as the more or less source of the whole thing. When Chariot talked with Yuri about it, Yuri responded by saying he had known how Vincent could get sometimes but didn't think he was capable of actually doing something like this? I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT? But he also said that even still he'd stand by Vincent, which left a bad feeling with Chariot and the worry that Yuri would let Vincent keep getting away with stuff because he loved him. So they were kind of rocky and awkward then and with this happening Chariot's pretty much decided he was done trying to care.
It's kind of significant because Yuri was the person Chariot initially regarded as his best friend, way back when they first joined Onyx, but with all this coming around he's realizing that even though he'd gone around calling Yuri his best friend they never really... were? Like, they barely knew anything about each other (they still hardly know anything about each other), they never really talked about things, and they only trust each other to a certain extent. He has back a lot of his mafia-related skills, training, and memories too, so realizing how kind of blindly he was saying all that makes him feel like an idiot and is making him pull back a lot.
He's currently in the process of just reshuffling around his priorities, how he regards people around Aather, the people he considers his friends, etc. The biggest change is that he's preparing himself mentally and physically to leave Aather, because he does plan to go back to his home once everything's done here, so he wants to keep all of the relationships he has here casual and now has a strong guard against letting any of his relationship with people develop more than just casual friends. It doesn't change a whole lot, because a lot of his relationships are pretty much at this level anyway, but his prior, albeit small, willingness to get to know people better and let people know him better is pretty much shut down. BACK TO MAFIA MODE.
So yes it's... a lot of magic...
Gosh tell me how Zuko has been doing in Aather, I've been failing at stalking him.
It's hilarious because Sasuke could understand how Chariot feels right now so much but Sasuke is currently in a place where he's a lot less willing to ask someone else about his feelings, even if he likes Chariot and he is comfortable with him. They should spar or talk anyway if you want.
ZUKO IS . . . DEALING?! Ruby died horribly in Jabberwock's game because Heliodor shanked them, and Zuko was very attached to Ruby by then (yes, he's been in Aather for 4 days ICly but that's enough for him apparently) so he took it badly. He was sulking and he was upset, and now he's decided that he's never letting them be at risk of getting hurt that way again. He's still going to refuse to hurt other people, but if he's ever at a point of US or THEM again? He's going to pick US now. He's also really wary of the Personae now.
Outside that, he's still an awkward dork with sort of low levels of patience with a good heart. Mostly because of his memories, since they're making him more zen than he would normally be otherwise if he had gotten things from the first two seasons. He needs more off-team CR, though.
I do! I really want to app Hubert from Tales of Graces f, but I need to work on finishing his canon first. K-Keep getting distracted by fun battle system and side quests. But I am super excited and determined to app him as a hero once I'm done so that is a thing I will do.
