Oh look, Bicycle-san knows how to grammar. Wonder of wonders...

Well this is serious shit, so listen up. I'm putting this here in its own topic because a friend and I went through hell in the ruins last night and it's all because of this one massive fucking psycho called Toru Watanabe. He's been mentioned in other places but I don't want anyone making the mistake of trying to speak with or reason with him because they happened to skim through the list of dangerous individuals topic and didn't take the time to notice that one guy with The Most Overused Family Name In Japanese History (tm).

Nutjob Watanabe is a raspy-voiced, top-tier nutjob who lives in the ruins and is probably the most dangerous thing you could possibly run into there behind the Reaper and all of those humanoid-Shadow things I've heard so much about. In terms of power level he's not exactly out-of-this-world--in fact, we did a fair bit of damage to him--but he's a tricky motherfucker. I'm going to give y'all what info I have on his tactics, so listen up!

Just so you know, we ran into him in the top level of the ruins. I've never seen him there before, and I have no idea why he was even there. So just because you're skimming the the "tutorial floor" for easy kills, don't assume you're one hundred percent safe. He may very well show up there. If you see him, get the fuck out. Trust me on that.

First off, Nutjob absorbs darkness spells, Mudo and the like. He also has a really BIG darkness spell that pretty much fills a whole room. So you get in close and there's a pretty good chance that he's gonna fuckin' nuke himself to heal up AND fuck your shit up. Keep. Your. Distance.

Second thing is, he has this really nasty sort of bastardized Charm magic. I don't know how it works, but it's not the same as normal Charm, where your mind sort of hazes over and you honestly believe him to be your friend. It's more like your brain gets cut off from the rest of you: you can see, hear, smell, feel, taste, but you can't control anything and you will attack your own allies while fully cognizant of every single little move you're forced to make. It's like having strings attached to your body and being controlled like a goddamn puppet. I am speaking from experience. He has used this spell on me, and it IS possible for this to trigger Monster Form. It's a needlessly cruel spell that I hope none of you ever have to experience. I was forced to watch myself cut this massive gash in my friend's arm while I was under. In case that "Monster Form" thing didn't clue you in, IT WASN'T FUCKING FUN.

If anyone has been thinking to mount an attempt at taking Nutjob Watanabe down, I suggest it be Persona-users who are resistant or immune to Mudo spells and Charm spells, if possible. I'm not sure because my friend was unaffected, but I think the Charm spell he used may be all-encompassing... one that hits everyone in the area.

Do NOT attempt to fight this man without a full team and a plan. You will very likely get your ass kicked.

Do NOT attempt to reason with this man because Nutjob Watanabe will not be reasoned with.

Side note: he also used Fear magic at one point, I think, but I was too far away when he did for it to do more than make me flinch a little.

Another side note: Hey, you. Yes, you. You know who you are. Thanks again for snapping me out of Monster Form. I'll return the favor someday, I promise.

Re: PSA

Considering the fact that I've been offering a discount for information regarding Toru, I think you qualify. Though it sounds like he might've Ascended/Descended/Resolved/whatever since I last dealt with him -- that's unfortunate, but good to know.

Anyway, I know you recently bought something from me -- how would you like a free upgrade of some sort or a full refund? I've got a plan to deal with him, and I need a shill to pull it off. No more to it than a Bedlam post at root, and no more danger than you want to get out of it.

Bleh, I can't bring myself to "chatspeak" when I'm talking about this fucker...

He didn't exactly match the "ghoulish" image I last remember reading about him, either. But he looks and sounds freakish enough that there isn't much mistake as to who he is. Anyway, I'd be willing to help take Nutjob Watanabe down in any way I can... as long as it doesn't involve going anywhere actually NEAR him. Not being in control of myself like that... being forced to hurt my friends, or people who don't deserve it... well. You read my post. It actually pushed me to Monster Form, something neither I or my Persona expected we'd ever be pushed to. That man quite frankly terrifies me. If I never see him again in this life or my next twenty, it'll still be too fucking soon.

As for discounts and such, I ordered that second kodachi and was going to pick it up in a couple of days when my uncle sends me my monthly allowance. I lost the one I bought before--dropped it when I went monster, no idea where in the ruins I was when that happened even if it DID survive Nutjob's Mudo-nuke. If you're offering a refund, can I just have the second one I ordered before as a replacement? I still want to try dual-wielding a pair of 'em, but I'll pay full price for another kodachi after this whenever you get around to making it. We'll just call the replacement even for whatever you want from me.

Does that work for you?

Look, if you help me with this, I'll gladly get you both: the main issue is cost of labor -- Japanese-style blades take a lot of time and energy to make right. If you help me out, I'll gladly waive the whole thing. I'm going to need you to make a few posts over several days, then we can call it square.

I'm sorry to hear that he's caused you such distress, and I hope both you and your friend are okay. He wasn't always like this, but he's been getting steadily worse. Something needs to be done.

The thing is that he actually reads Bedlam. I'm almost absolutely certain of that. For similar reasons, I know that he wants thermite, which I'm the only one around here who makes, though I've publicly declared that I won't anymore (because he keeps stealing it.)

So I want to lay a trap. Would you mind doing me a favor and going into the weaponry thread and asking for thermite? I'll make a show of refusing, but after two or three rounds of it, I'll relent. I've got a plan for dealing with him, and no one else needs to get hurt. Would you help me with this?

Thermite? Wait, I remember reading that in the weapons thread. Would that have anything to do with the massive fucking sinkhole over at 17th and Jizo, you think? Like, he wants to blow parts of the ruins up beneath the city? I don't like that idea. At best he wants to cause some chaos, at worst he's planning the collapse the entire ruin--which probably means "the entire city," something I wouldn't put past this guy after what I've seen of him.

And I can't think of much else you'd need that for down there, unless you were planning to lay a massive fire-bomb-trap for the Reaper (in which case you'd probably need enough to collapse the ruins anyway).

I'll do it. I'll be posting with a different account, though. If he reads Bedlam, it'd be a bit obvious if the bitch who just posted a long-ass dissertation on his fighting skills started poking around for that bit o' cheese he's hankering for.

Best of luck building the world's most badass mousetrap, Metalworker Man.
