Talk:Kina Larsen

Proposing a new IRM focused on Kina's career as a seeker and eir relationship with Uncle Plasma! One paragraph will be the same as what was cross-posted previously.

Sections:

• History: brief intro, finally mentioning Kina Buckets and blasketball
• Career as a Seeker: Mentorship from Plasma, general seeking (for wild mint, driftwood and almond joys - kind of a nod to the "playing fetch" pre-game), and reigning championship of an annual KCBM scavenger hunt
• Plasma's Vaulting: Kina in the aftermath of Plasma's vaulting searching for him with limited clues, and a mention of the s24 Mints steering towards the Vault with Kina and Plasma IX seeking Original Plasma

Adding Uncle Plasma's mentor relationship to Kina to his page, crossposting the paragraph here!

After a few seasons with the Mints, Plasma began mentoring batter Kina Larsen as a junior detective, taking hir under his wing. A quick and eager learner, Larsen soon found far more investigative success than Plasma, having sought out and returned home numerous Elsewhere players, while Plasma has found exactly zero clues over many seasons with the Mints. When asked about Larsen’s talent in comparison to his own, Plasma has only glowed with pride, and is said to always keep an almond joy in the pocket of his trenchcoat for the young gumshoe. In his other pocket, he keeps a delicious fresh orange for himself.

suggesting setting IRM format to: Filebox (https://www.blaseball.wiki/w/Help:Interdimensional_Rumor_Mill_Guide#Filebox)

Adding player chants, because I think that’s fun and also nice to have as a reference! Feel free to comment with additional chants.

Chants

• Hit the buckets Kina!
• Larseny! (when stealing)

Born in the Kansas City suburbs as a human girl, Kina Larsen lived a fairly normal life throughout her school years. She held decent grades, had a good group of friends, and was seemingly on track to go on to the University of Mlissouri for veterinary science.

But what Larsen never let on is that she didn't want to live a normal life with a degree or a 9-5 job, she felt as if she was destined for so much more and craved to make her own path in the world. After her high school graduation, Larsen left home, not for the University of Mlissouri, but instead to sign with the Kansas City Breath Mints during the Return of Blaseball to follow her dream of an exciting life.

Larsen became a part of the Breath Mints, but unfortunately would not see active play until Season 15. Meanwhile, while in the Breath Mints' shadows, Larsen kept herself busy by working her two jobs: part-time tattoo artist (which Larsen discovered she has both a talent and love for) and part-time dogsitter. During the Season 14 elections, after season after season of sitting on the sidelines, one can only imagine the smile on Larsen's face as she was pulled from the shadows to finally participate the splort she loved with the team she loved even more.

Nowadays, Kina Larsen is a friendly face known throughout Kansas City known for her warm smile and tattooed arms, and a strong presence on the team. She can commonly been seen hanging out with fellow teammates Hewitt Best, Rodriguez Internet, and Marco Stink, as the latter three had quickly and wholeheartedly accepted Larsen into their former trio, now becoming the "Fresh Four".

Hello, wiki liaison for the mints here! We missed this talk page in the discord, and wanted a chance to pull back and have some discussion on it since we weren't expecting any lore to be added yet.

I think the best solution may be to implement IRM for Kina and having this lore and what we have been brainstorming in chat remain separate.

Also, in chat we have been using neopronouns for Kina and intended to add that to the wiki, and a lot of people feel very strongly about maintaining that. I'd like to make sure any and all lore for Kina uses ey/em, shi/hir, or it/its pronouns.

Hey! Just wanted to acknowledge what you said and say that sounds all good to me! Also, sorry for missing the neopronouns thing in chat, my bad.

(Edit: Thank you for responding too, I appreciate it :D)
