Tsukiko & Red Cloak sitting in a tree

[jogiff]

Who here thinks that Tsukiko and Red Cloak are viable romantic interests or that, at the very least, if/when Xykon is defeated, they'll team up? At first they hated each other, but this was obviously some sort of rivalry. In the oots653, Red Cloak seemed unusually happy to see Tsukiko. I don't think he was just because he needed her spells, but that he has stopped hating her so much. They finally worked together.

This doesn't have to turn into a "Belkar's Love Interest" type of thread, but does anyone else think that Tsukiko and Red Cloak relation is going to be expanded?

[liooil2000]

Tsukiko is attracted to undead.

[Winthur]

Tsukiko is attracted to undead.

Can be done.

Does that mean that there are going to be Order of the Stick slashfics?

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Um, I'm thinking no. Redcloak hates humans, hates Tsukiko specifically, and tried to kill her. Tsukiko sees Redcloak as competition for Xykon's attention.

While Redcloak may no longer be activly trying to kill Tsukiko, at least not in front of the boss. If she were to somehow choke on a chicken bone, I don't see Redcloak rushing over to give her the Heimlich.

:xykon:Hey, now, lets keep things professional. I'm not one of those disgusting biophiliacs.

Interestingly, it doesn't seem to stop the yaoi fangirls. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrackPairing)

All of that are forms of passion. If people hate each other at first sight, we all know what that means in the long run!

:smallbiggrin:

[Zanaril]

Next you'll be saying Redcloak summoned V to fight Xykon so they'd make a noise, and so Tsukiko would be woken up and wander in wearing skimpy nightwear. :smalltongue:

Well, they did seem a lot more chummy...

And, Redcloak's personality being what it is, maybe he would be into "being dominated in that way."

Hmmmm.

[Y'nokhs]

Their banter did seem rather...friendly.
I could see a nice "office romance" growing out of this.
They are both evil, they both hate human society for repressing goblins/undead, both have cleric levels (worked for Durkon!) and animate large amounts of undead.
The necrophilia thing might be a problem, but it does not preclude her liking the living, too, and a goblin high-priest has that same allure of being dark and forbidden.
That would be awesome :smallbiggrin:

I can't believe I just spent an hour on that page...

[Xesirin]

I can. :biggrin:

I think that, theoretically, Redcloak and Tsukiko would make a cute couple, (cute being a highly operative and subjective word in this usage) but ultimately, her attraction to Xykon will take center stage.

What are you talking about? Of course thats why V was there!:smalltongue:

I smell the setup for a Redcloak/Tsukiko fic...

[Pyron]

Tsukiko is attracted to undead.

Tsukiko: Why, Redcloak, I never knew you had a younger brother. :biggrin:

I...am speechless...I'm not sure if it's horrible or awesome... Go tell the House of Horrors guys this.

[Lupy]

I hate you all so much right now. :smalleek: (:smallwink:)

Naw, this'll never happen, RC's asexual.

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Redcloak: Don't you see? We were meant for each other! The evil cleric and the necromancer, what more perfect pair can there be?
Tsukiko: Redcloak, I... I can't. My heart belongs to someone else. I'm in love with Xykon!
Redcloak: Noooooooooooooo! What does he have that I don't? Is it because he has a giant boner? Because I hear there's this wizard that can cast enlarge... I'm going to stop now. (Read waaaaaay too much of that page :smalleek:)

[Dr. Cthulwho]

Who here thinks that Tsukiko and Red Cloak are viable romantic interests or that, at the very least, if/when Xykon is defeated, they'll team up?

Tsukiko likes undead things (I mean really likes, wink, win, nudge, nudge) and Redcloak hates humans.

Yeah, I can see it, they'd be like the original Odd Couple.

Still, it might be nice if Tsukiko made Redcloak rethink his hate of humans. Or at least develop a love/hate attitude towards them.

[R. Malcovitch]

That doesn't work on any level. Redcloak is a goblin supremacist who particularly hates humans, and Tsukiko is a necrophiliac.

[Berserk Monk]

I liked my Redcloak/Miko relationship thread I started awhile back.

[Prak]

actually, I can see it now... it's like Karen and Jack from Will and Grace... Tsukiko sleeps with undead, Redcloak doesn't sleep with humans, and maybe they'll get intoxicated and do things they normally wouldn't but in reality Redcloak's just a bone-hag.

[FoE]

That's nothing. Compared to Miko/Redcloak, Tsukiko/Redcloak is at least mildly plausible. I mean, it would be a workplace romance, albeit a very unlikely one. The gods themselves would have to intervene to bring Miko and Redcloak together, and even then they'd probably try to kill each other. And yet I have heard of that pairing.

[kpenguin]

She's a mystic theurge who doesn't play the rules!
He's a goblin cleric who's been driven to the edge!
Together, they fight the good guys!

[Dr. Cthulwho]

I liked my Redcloak/Miko relationship thread I started awhile back.

Hmmm... so if Tsukiko somehow did reanimate Miko as an intelligent undead we could have a really weird love triangle (Redcloak/Tsukiko and undead Miko)?

What an awesome spin off concept. With Xykon filling in as the police chief always on their case.

[Prak]

Or one could just fancon Tsukiko's decision regarding Miko's torn in half body... and that Tsukiko took pity on the poor thing, reanimating it and taking "special" care of her in her room...

holy crap I think I just created TsukikoXReanimated-eviscerated-Miko...

[Tempest Fennac]

I don't think there's anything in it beyond the 2 of them possibly getting over what happened when they first met in the interests of their plans. Also, SoD suggested that RC wasn't asexual, and some of the people in the Arts and Crafts section have already done OotS relatinship art if I remember correctly (I only ever read the Non-OotS Fanservice thread due to the OotS Fanservice and House of Horrors threads disturbing me, so I'm not certain).

[Vizen]

This thread is entertaining.

And I also spent the last hour on that CrackPairing TVTropes page. Curses! :smalltongue:

[The Pilgrim]

There are "half-orcs", but no such thing as "half-goblins".

Their love is, sadly, impossible.

Yet again goblins are short changed by the universe.

Maybe Redcloak is really fighting for the right to have Half-goblin children.

[Snake-Aes]

Interpride?

[Lissou]

What? Not that it's the only weird thing said in this thread, but since when to you have to produce biological offspring for your love to be possible? What about people who are sterile, who are too old, who are gay or who just don't want children? It sounds like a weird thing to say.

[Dr. Cthulwho]

Interpride?

I suspect an Interpride Parade would be both awesome and scary.

[Dagren]

You really think Redcloak can compete with the charisma modifier of an epic level sorcerer? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0446.html)

And Tsukiko is going to have better luck with the undead?:smallwink:
Just because its not in core (or any published source I know of) doesn't mean it can't be made up. Personally, I'd like them to have a half-goblin, half-human, half-vampire (I is bad at maths) child.
:xykon: Your kid barged in on my torture session again
:redcloak: Bad son! Rebuke Undead!

[Raging Gene Ray]

holy crap I think I just created TsukikoXReanimated-eviscerated-Miko...

N, you have not. That existed in the Belkar's Romantic Interest thread for awhile...although Miko's two halves were stitched together and they were sharing some wine as they lounged by the fire on a rug made from the skin of Argent.

[Haven]

Half-goblins (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html)

:smalleek: That one goblin isn't being cut in half...it's separating its torso in order to dodge Roy's attack and lunge at him. iQue badass! Also, holy crap--even setting the plot aside, this comic has gotten so much better since then...
Anyway, even if Redcloak can't match Xykon's CHA modifier, I can totally see how this would happen: Xykon orders them to work together on some big project, it gets late into the night and they're exhausted from casting spells, and fall asleep curled up together...they wake up together, at first comfortable, than completely embarassed (mostly Redcloak; Tsukiko's a little pissed, but also discretely checking out his ass), and later both start thinking about the possibilities...Redcloak asks Xykon for advice, Tsukiko asks her wights, they both get hilariously awful suggestions, hilarity and adorability ensues.

Hmm...perhaps not quite as compelling as RedcloakXMiko, but a lot cuter, and more likely to happen (as far as crack pairings go, anyway).

[Silverraptor]

Why isn't there any disturbing pictures on here?:smallfrown: There were on the Miko and Recloak thread.

[hamishspence]

Realms of Infamy collection of D&D short stories includes a half-goblin half-human villain.
