That's OK, I'm just considering how Kiyoshi should respond.

As for the life thing, I'm not sure how long Kiyoshi has left, but I would imagine it is going to be at least 50 years. The rest I can't say for sure, but I don't think Lantz intends killing any of them off young, and none of them are past their 20s yet, so I would imagine they have 50-odd years left too.

t isn't of old age - other causes. Hell, he can probably see just how drained 'Sakura' is due to this. She came damn close to killing herself with that van stunt apparently. And IIRC Taiga has 'Generic Anime Moe Wasting Disease #29047893'.

Oh, I see.

Well, I don't think Taiga actually has an illness in that sense, so she should live a normal length life, and Sakura is drained but that doesn't mean she's going to die.

They aren't period

OK
You seem to be missing the point. Like, really missing it.

The point is that both of these characters are rather fragile at the moment, and as such he could faintly sense a possible death on them (Much stronger on rin), but that's about it. It's not like they WILL die if Lawrence sees this.

[lantzblades]

My previous statement still applies. They are not close to death.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

My previous statement still applies. They are not close to death.

So, Sakura just pretty much almost killed herself projecting a Van, and she's 'Not Close to Death.'

Riiiiiiiight.

Why on Rin? She's not got anything that is likely to kill her any time soon....

I think you're getting it wrong with Taiga, although perhaps you have a point with Sakura. She should be somewhat "close to death" in that sense, due to her prana usage.

I meant Sakura, she's so fucking bland I can't tell the difference half the time, so I slip to a character who's name isn't the same as her fucking aunts for no reason.

Anyway, mike, You're up

[KAIZA]

No

Christ dude. Sin-Eaters can see how close a person is to dying - within a few days of death they basically broadcast a giant sign to them.

Huh...kinda reminded me of the Shinigami Eyes from Death Note.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

No

Huh...kinda like the Shinigami Eyes from Death Note?

Sorta, but not really. They can't tell when, only if physical, how. And it's more a gut feeling than actual sight... sometimes. For more violent deaths, it's actually seeing it. And even then, they can only truly confirm this if it's close to the time they WILL die (A few days or so). So basically, for someone like Sakura he'd be getting a feeling she's possibly about to keel over. For someone he's about to blow the head off of, no such warning because he's the cause.

I'm mostly running off of memory on the Sight since the last time I read geist but I'm pretty sure of the 'Can tell when someone will die if it's soon' ability.

Hang on, does the guy on the right have something like 1000 years to live...?

[KAIZA]

Hang on, does the guy on the right have something like 1000 years to live...?

Nope. From what I remember, Shinigami Eyes display a person's remaining lifespan in days.

Yes, 351,011 days, which is about 1000 years....

[KAIZA]

Ah, OK, read a bit again; it's not displayed in days exactly; it involved a math equation which would convert it to human years...which the creator forgot, apparently.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

I did some math.

The average velocity of buckshot from a 12 gauge out of a muzzle is 1300 FPS. We're within likely 12 feet. THe risk of spread is basically nill at this range. It's going to blow a .75 caliber hole in whatever it hits. The bullets are moving faster than the human brain or body can react at this range, we're talking in thousandths of a second between trigger pull and impact.

Conner is dead because Sakura is an idiot.

[lantzblades]

Magic is faster, sorry

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Magic is faster, sorry

>Magic is faster than the human brain can react to send the command to use magic

You what.  Dude, going by math Connor just got his entire chest cavity shredded to bits simply because he'd have to move at near LIGHT SPEEDS to dodge that shot.
