YES, I HAVE UPDATED! It's been almost a full year, which is wild. I had accidentally deleted the entire ending I had drafted out, which really put a damper on wanting to finish this. But I got over it, and we should be on track to complete this soon enough! HOWEVER, since it HAS been so long, I have created a summary so you don't have to re-read everything (unless you'd like to!) Spoilers under cut!

19 year old college student Noel Cerquetti is starting her first year at Lhaplus College of the Arts… again. 

The semester is coming to a close, and all first year music students are competing for not just the best grade in finals, but the position of pianist at the city’s yearly devil cleansing ceremony. Noel is certain she’s going to win when she realizes that her finals recording has been switched with another student. When she goes to complain to Dean Burrows, she’s instead told to withdraw from the music program entirely by Monday, or be expelled and blacklisted.

Noel decides to drink her woes away for the night. Unfortunately, Jillian has a date, so she heads back to the apartment they share with the volatile artist Spica alone. Spica warns Noel about her art project on the floor before going to her boyfriend’s for the night. Noel thinks nothing of the painted red runic circle as she sips vodka on the couch until, just before midnight, Spica’s stereo clicks on at max volume. Stumbling to get the remote to silence it, something falls off the end table and shatters—and Noel is no longer alone.

The Great Devil Caron has appeared, and is not too pleased at the first ever accidental summoning. He tells Noel he’ll let the insult slide if she’s also able to give him a reason to be there. Noel is too wary to make a demonic contract, but she explains the issue she’s having to him. When she stands up to fetch evidence of Spica’s set-up, she falls and lands directly on him—and he realizes that she doesn’t have legs.

Noel explains that she was hit by a drunk driver the previous year and ended up losing both legs. Caron immediately suspects that the accident is linked to what Noel is currently going through. He points out that Spica was almost certainly expecting that he would kill her, and thus Noel’s life is currently in danger once more. He offers to protect her and work with her to solve the mystery, but Jillian’s homecoming interrupts the discussion.

Noel wakes up the next day to Caron sitting in her bed, reading her diary. He smugly informs her that she agreed to a contract while black out drunk after having more wine with Jillian. Noel has the strange impression that he’s lying, but decides to take him at face value and work with him to find out who wants her dead, and why.

They hide in the attic in hopes of convincing Spica that she might have been successful after all. While there, they discover old yearbooks that show a pattern of dying students all in the first year piano class who had been predicted to be the next ceremonial pianist. Noel suspects that the ceremony itself is the key, and agrees to take Caron to the college library that night to search for more information.

They head over in the unusual, bitter cold at nightfall. Caron goes to break in the building when Noel is caught by her friend Fugo Dressel, who is helping his brother Oscar out by taking a security shift. Caron knocks him out and is prepared to leave him there, but Noel begs him not to, so he carries him into the library as well. 

The pair is searching for a key to the basement archives when Fugo wakes up and attacks, revealing that he’s a demon who has made a devil’s contract. He warns Noel that devils always lie and that she’s in danger—but provides a great deal of that danger himself by angrily hurling fire around the room. Oscar Dressel appears and brings an end to the fight, sending Noel and Caron to meet up with them at his house later as he prepares to hide the cause of the fires.

While waiting for the brothers to return, Noel and Caron talk. Noel realizes he was injured trying to put out the fires because she’d said she didn’t want to cause any destruction. She’s confused as to why he would do that for her, and he’s confused as to why she starts crying over it. Through this discussion, they begin to understand each other a bit better. Jillian’s phone call interrupts them, and Noel tells her where they are without thinking. Jillian declares that she’s heading over as Caron groans at more people getting involved. 

The Dressel brothers arrive on a short break in their now extended security shift. Noel explains what’s going on. Oscar tells her that the books they were looking for aren’t even in the library anymore, but had been taken to the performance hall. Fugo is less calm about the situation, and asks Noel if she actually remembers making a contract with Caron. She admits that she doesn’t, but before she can ask him what he means, he and Oscar need to return to work. 

While waiting for Jillian to arrive next, Caron admits that he is lying to Noel, but won’t explain what or why just yet. Despite this, he asks her to trust him. She says that she can’t just yet, but that she will choose to believe in him.

Jillian arrives, and Noel begins to explain what’s happening once more. Upon hearing that Noel is involved with a devil, Jillian begins to have a panic attack, which worsens when Caron appears. She faints after taking medication, and they carry her to the guest room upstairs. Noel is exhausted and knows Caron must be as well, but there’s only one guest room left. She suggests they share it, and he agrees.

While preparing for bed, Caron offers Noel his shirt to sleep in. At that moment, she realizes that she is extremely attracted to him, and that’s at least part of why she feels strangely around him. While in bed, without her prosthetic legs, she admits out loud that clearly, she does trust him. He thanks her, and after a sly comment, she realizes that he’s flirting with her. She confesses to flirting back, and the two laugh and begin to cuddle. As she falls asleep, Noel realizes she’s very happy to be with him, even though the relationship is moving so quickly.

Jillian awakens the next morning and learns that Fugo also wants to get Caron away from Noel. They decide to work together, and plan to go to the Performance Hall to find a book on devil exorcism. Jillian goes to speak to Noel and walks in on her wearing only Caron’s shirt. After an awkward conversation, Jillian leaves, and Noel heads back to bed for a little more sleep while Caron does research on her smartphone.

Jillian and Fugo head through an unusual morning fog to the Performance Hall, which is empty and in the midst of a power outage. Fugo takes a brief moment to confront Jillian about her devotion to Noel, telling her that she needs to live her own life. At first, Jillian is angry, but she starts to realize that he really cares about her as a friend and wants her to be happy. They easily find the devil tomes from the library, but Jillian realizes that she won’t be able to read any of them—they’re all written in infernal script. Fugo leaves her there to meet up with Oscar briefly and return the campus keys he’s stolen. Jillian is distracted by a strange blue and white book, but before she can touch it, Dean Burrows appears.

The Dean calmly explains to Jillian that Noel is lying to her, and that the story of an accidental summoning is nonsense. He tells her that Noel is in great danger from Caron, but that he considers it his duty as Dean to help save Noel. Jillian is convinced, and sends text messages to Noel asking her to take a certain path to the Performance Hall. Once done, Dean Burrows takes her phone and smugly admits that he’s lied about everything. He tells Jillian he needs her to perform a ceremony for him that night, and that he’s taking Noel as a hostage to be sure she behaves before he locks her in the room.

Jillian panics again, but this time faints from hyperventilating rather than her medication. She has a strange dream of resting on a large man’s lap as he strokes her hair and reassures her that her mistakes are not insurmountable. When she wakes up, the door has mysteriously opened and Fugo is there. She tells him of Burrow’s plan to attack Noel, and they hurry out to try and find her before it’s too late.

Noel and Caron are heading to the Performance Hall when Noel is grazed by a bullet and Caron is injured. They manage to mislead their attacker, and end up in the Performance Hall as a sudden thunderstorm hits. Without thinking, Noel kisses Caron. He heals Noel, but as payment, he bites her, leaving an affectionate mark. They hear piano playing upstairs, and head to the ballroom where they meet with Professor Becker.

Professor Becker explains to Noel that Caron was responsible for her accident. He had made a contract with the driver that made him unable to make his own choices, and Professor Becker had ordered him to hit Noel with his car. Noel denies Professor Becker’s reading of the situation and scolds her for using Caron’s devil’s morals to dodge her own responsibility in the man’s death. Professor Becker then explains her own contract with Caron that had removed her emotions, but Noel is still able to declare that she trusts Caron regardless of what he’s done in his past. The professor goes on to explain that the pair don’t even have a contract, and that Caron has been using her to find the tomes with his summoning circle inside. He confesses that it’s true, but denies her allegations that he is planning on destroying and discarding Noel. Noel once again makes the choice to trust him.

Spica appears with a mind controlled Ribelio and an electric weapon that is able to knock Caron out. They take Noel’s phone, and Professor Becker leaves, telling Spica to do whatever she wants with them as long as Noel stays alive. Spica tortures them for a while, and admits to Noel that she’s jealous of her because she doesn’t understand who she is or where she came from. She continues to shock Caron, and orders Ribelio to tear out Noel’s eye. At her second order, to pull off an arm, Ribelio is able to break the mind control briefly, and while Spica is dealing with him, Caron moves to cover Noel with his own body. He apologizes for not being able to get them out of the situation, and she tells him that she loves him. He says he doesn’t understand why, everything is moving so quickly, but she is everything to him.

Jillian and Fugo arrive back at the Performance Hall due to another sudden, intense storm. They’re able to charge Fugo’s phone at a battery stand. He has received a message from Noel’s phone. They’re both immediately suspicious, and when they hear a loud crash, Fugo heads to investigate while telling Jillian to call Oscar as soon as the phone has enough battery.

Fugo arrives in the ballroom and is quickly attacked by Ribelio and Spica. His opinion on Caron flips completely as he realizes he’s using his own badly hurt body to protect Noel. Jillian appears and is able to hit Spica with Fugo’s phone. Oscar appears, knocking Ribelio out, and orders Jillian, Noel and Caron escape.

The trio head to the local hotel, which is in the off-season, and set up in an empty room on the top floor. Jillian and Caron argue over him needing a price to heal Noel, and she suggests he take it from her, instead. Caron refuses, stating that Jillian belongs to someone else, and asks her if she’s aware of who stands behind her. Unsure what he means, Jillian leaves to get supplies.

Caron heals Noel, but is unable to save her eye. He tells her that she can pay in installments, and hints that he’d like her to kiss him again. She scolds him that it’s unfair as she wanted to do that anyway. They’re able to discuss Caron’s reasons for searching for the tomes to find a new kind of person to summon him instead of the same boring requests. He admits what actually happened their first night together, and how her first offhand comment of “I need help” and wariness to make an actual contract, followed by a later drunken ‘thank you,’ showed that she wasn’t like his usual contractors—exactly what he was looking for. They bond for a bit before taking a romantic bath together.

Meanwhile, Oscar and Fugo interview a now-conscious Ribelio. He explains how he came to be under Spica’s mind control, and that the woman isn’t a devil, but isn’t quite human, either, having strange powers and growing up to an adult in a terrifyingly short amount of time. He informs them that Spica and Burrows have some kind of relationship, and that he’s the reason they’re now both college students, but that he has no idea what they have planned.

Jillian is engaged in some serious self loathing during her supply run in the cold rain, finally admitting to herself that Caron really does love Noel, and that her feelings towards her will never be requited. She’s drowning in misery when the mysterious stranger from her dream appears again, gently chiding her to warm up. She obediently gets coffee and hands him some as well, which he drinks, revealing that he truly is there and is not a dream. He begins to escort her back to the hotel as she asks him questions, and unexpectedly says his name; revealing him as the Eternal Devil Caesar, who says he is there to save her life as Head Security Officer Jino and others approach.

At the hotel, Noel has a vivid nightmare that she has committed a devil summoning, and her limbs are ripped off. She realizes that in her dream, Caron was the one to do it, and decides not to tell him the details as he comforts her. The Dressel brothers have arrived. Oscar discusses the strange weather and points out that his radio is no longer working, but Fugo interrupts, pointing out that Jillian has now been gone for three hours. At that moment, there’s a knock, and they open the door to reveal Jillian and Caesar.

Jillian helps Noel get dressed as she quickly explains how she ran into Caesar, and how, despite him being a devil who knows far more than he should, she’s completely unafraid of him. They join everyone in the main room and begin to discuss what has happened so far.

Caesar explains what he knows of Dean Burrow’s plans. He tells them that Jillian and Noel are being targeted specifically because of an innate talent they have that gives their piano playing the power to summon or cleanse devils. He offers Noel sheet music that can expel all devils in Lhaplus, which she adamantly refuses, and says that she won’t lose Caron again. Everyone is confused by her phrasing, but when she tries to deny it as having simply misspoke, Caesar explains that it is not the case, and that Noel is beginning to remember things that she should not.

He tells them that this is not their first meeting, and that, in another world, Noel had summoned Caron when tricked into a contract, and that Caron had removed her limbs as payment. Noel begins to flash back to her nightmare, and starts to have a panic attack as she loses feeling in her hands. Caesar is able to stop her panic attack as he had for Jillian and continues to explain their first meeting. Noel had been seeking vengeance on Burrows in that world, and to stop her, Jillian had summoned Caesar. He explains how curious he had found Jillian’s choice to give up her five senses to save Noel, and how strong Noel and Caron, who had been the one to mutilate her, had become together. He tells them he had abandoned his contract with Jillian because of that, and should have been destroyed for it.

Instead, Caesar found himself wandering from world to world, always observing Jillian. In one world, Jillian called out his name as she was dying, despite having no reason to know of him in it. He is unexpectedly moved by her death, and decides to begin interfering in the next worlds to prevent it. He explains that he is not all powerful, and that in using too much power at times, he’s almost been destroyed. He warns Noel, who casually wonders aloud what a peaceful life with Caron would look like, to stop, because she is in danger of causing her mind to overload with memories that aren’t truly hers. Fugo interrupts, and that’s where chapter 36 begins!

Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia Part 1 - Aurica & Misha (Phase 1)

PHASE 1

Okay, I am beyond excited. I honestly never thought I'd be able to play my favourite PS2 games ever again after I moved houses, because I can't for the life of me find my old PS2 that could play copied games, all the wires and some of the games, and I can't buy these games anymore either, so I was literally so sad and nearly cried when I first realised this. But then I realised that we could get PS emulators now and play the games!! Honestly so thankful and happy right now because omg it's so beautiful to know I can finally properly finish these games again!! Anyway, I still remember Shurelia and Lyner very well, I loved how cool Shurelia was, whereas I can't remember much about Lyner so he's probably the average protagonist that gets all the girls lmao. I'm not sure if I'll bother playing each Reyvateil "route" but I do know who I picked as a kid so I'm definitely going to pick her again. It's kinda funny, I wonder if this is when my bro and I decided to each choose our favourites and play through them so we could both see the different stories haha. I just remember he liked the shy brown hair Reyvateil and I loved the blue hair childhood friend, I can't remember their names anymore but I still love them hahaha. And if I remember correctly, Shurelia should have a short story/route, but I remember diving into her cosmosphere was weird because she's kinda like the old type of Reyvateil haha, so I was sad about that but it doesn't matter, it's Shurelia, everyone loves her!

On to the story itself! Lyner is pretty childish but he's a typical teenager protagonist so I'll just ignore it lol. On another note, dang, the art and character design and everything still looks good to this day imo. It's sad that Shurelia and Ayatane had to stay behind to fend off viruses that I can't really kill off until Lyner goes and gets the Hymn Crystal Purger, but I guess they can't really allow these viruses to run around into town, so as long as they stay in the Tower where I assume Shurelia has tried to seal them for many years, it should hopefully be fine~ Poor Lyner got his airship broken the moment he left though, but I guess that's how journeys begin haha. Lmao at Aurica (that's the name of the brown hair girl!!) healing Lyner with her Reyvateil magic/song and then running off when he wakes up, she's so cute lol. Kinda sad to see Reyvateil treated so badly by organisations like Tenba, like wow, the abuse is rampant. The village is pretty unreasonable to make Lyner kill their monsters to get his airship back but I guess that's just how desperate they are? Still don't like them. LMAO when Lyner went to learn grathmelding, the grandpa joked around saying Lyner's reward for learning it was his granddaughter hahaha.

Well, I guess it's good to help the village, because now they're willing to take care of the broken airship until Lyner finds someone who can fix it. Anyway, did Jack like Misha or something? I can't remember🤔 Lmao, Jack is so slack to Aurica, like yeah she's gloomy but I can empathise with her😭 Okay, I gotta agree with Jack though, Claire is definitely much hotter than Aurica, just the fact that she runs a bar by herself and tries her best to be strong and independent already makes me like her lol. On the other hand, why is Misha with Tenba, was she being manipulated or controlled or something? Anyway, the moment I saw Misha, I fell in love with her again, like wow, her design is so beautiful and unique, I could never pick someone else over her. I feel so sorry for her that Lyner can't remember her though, because I'm pretty sure she really likes him🥺 I can't remember the story but I guess we'll know when we can dive into her. Lyner is rash, super reckless and honest to a fault, but that honesty is a good thing I guess haha. The fact that he can't take people in Tenba badmouthing Reyvateil like they're tools that can be scrapped when they don't seem to be crafting good magic would make anyone mad, but Lyner refuses to sit by and listen to that, which is pretty admirable of him tbh.

With the way people react to others going into the Dive shop in the middle of the day with a Reyvateil, you'd be thinking they were doing something R rated lol, but they're just getting to know each other so it's kinda weird to have that kind of stigma, I mean I'm pretty sure going at night is weirder?! Anyway, I have to agree with Misha, Firefly Alley is a scary place, just thinking about being near all those propellers and falling down is crazyyy. It's kinda funny, but I remember Spica (Misha's friend that sells good stuff) but I don't remember the chainsaw girl lmao, I feel like she looks familiar but that's all hahah. It's so hilarious but brave of Misha to tell Lyner to dive into her so they can craft magic to break the wall and leave to go to Nemo without Bourd and them on their tail. Considering how bold she is, it's crazy that it's her first time, but since diving is such a personal thing, I honestly doubt Misha would let anyone aside from Lyner dive into her. I gotta agree with Hama (Misha's cosmosphere mind guardian) slapping Lyner for saying he's only in there because Misha told him to dive in, like excuse you Lyner?! You do realise the one that's being invaded and the one that has to feel vulnerable and everything is Misha right?! Have some tact lol! But I guess Lyner is slow, so it was normal of him to not have realised that it was a bigger deal than he thought, especially since Misha seemed so nonchalant about it. Misha's Level 1 Cosmosphere is so nostalgic though, I remember it so well, because I think it was a really nice contrast to see the brave and cool Misha in real life compared to the vulnerable one in the cosmosphere who is scared of revealing her true self to Lyner. It was nice to see him encourage her and to tell her that he wants to know her better, I mean it's sad that he can't remember her but you can't help things you can't remember I guess...

Krusche and Misha arguing all the time is pretty cute lol, I think it was even better when they worked together to open a door and made bets the whole time making them shout each other food if they got things wrong haha. Misha really is such a great girl to be so scared of heights but try her best to save Aurica. As usual though, Lyner is pretty crazy to jump and save Aurica when she was falling, like dang, they're lucky Krusche was nearby to catch them with her airship. Anyway, lmao at Aurica's naming sense and that fireball she made😂 I feel like Lyner is way more encouraging towards Aurica than he was with Misha before though, I guess it helps when it's obvious that she's troubled, whereas Misha being capable made him slow to realise a lot of things? Awww, Aurica cares so much about Lyner. She crafted blue magic in the real world because she wanted to protect him so much🥺 He's honestly really reckless though, he really could have died with the Hymn Crystal Purger, he's lucky Jack saved him. Honestly though, the more I play this, the more I feel like Lyner's type is Aurica and I'm so sadddd😭 I mean, I like Aurica too because she's so cute, but Misha😭😭

Lmao at how much it would cost Krusche to fix Lyner's airship, back to trying to climbing the tower back to Platina instead~ Well, I didn't expect Claire to really sing a song, her voice was beautiful! I'm glad she's out of Tenba and doing what she wants now, I feel sorry for any Reyvateil stuck in Tenba. Honestly, considering how self-sacrificing Misha was before for Aurica, I would have expected Lyner to care a little more of the possibility that Misha might be hurt or dead from one of the Hexagonal plates falling off and landing in Tenba where Bourd and them were having a meeting. I'm starting to think he really doesn't deserve Misha lolll. Anyway, the virus/Reyvateil Mir sounds familiar, was she one the girls in the next game? A Reyvateil utopia sounds about right if she was also once oppressed by people like Tenba. I honestly can't remember much about Ayatane but I do feel like I remember he disliked Lyner for being the one that protected Shurelia when he feels that he's so much more capable which is understandable considering he seems to be obsessed with her too. Well, the President of Tenba looks very...wow haha. Ooh I remember Misha looking super great as her real age, but she's great the way she is. Anyway, considering that Tenba experiments on Reyvateil, I hope Radolf talks about this with the church, but I guess I'm not sure if the church even has the power to destroy them even if they were so inhumane. Well, dang, Demon Aurica looks like a spider devil or something lol. I'm not surprised there's a part of Aurica that hates Claire though, it's understandable because she feels so inadequate compared to her. It's interesting to read the other bits in the cosmosphere that aren't as important, because omg, Aurica actually really liked this Knight guy before and she got rejected so terribly, that's sad.. I love Aurica's images of Radolf and Krusche, they're so silly🤣 Misha as a student body president is cute lol, and Shurelia(?) is there too?? Lol. Anyway, I like the cat on top of a vacuum, it's so cute. Lmao, okay wasting 900DP to find out that Aurica is a cat fanatic is hilarious, the idea of her rolling around with cats when no one is looking is so funny😂

I'm so glad climbing the Tower led to saving Misha, her breaking down and crying was so heartbreaking, she's really suffered😭 On the other hand, lmao at these residents up here cooking chicken, I just stole all their food✌️Lol at the trial though, it's literally just to test your strength! I'm sure Jack and them could do it too. Anyway, I never realised the Tower was called the Tower of Ar Tonelico, and oh wow, it's pretty cool that in between the Lower World and the Upper World is the Frozen Eye that separates the two so they're actually not physically attached. Oh wow, so Misha being the Star Singer meant she was the one singing her Chronicle Key song to keep all the viruses out, but because her song was stolen and she can't sing it anymore, the viruses are now attacking Platina. How sad though? She has to sing for eternity to keep world peace but what about her? Ooh, Jack left the Teru Tribe because they were too fixated on rules even when they were on the brink of destruction huh? I guess it's understandable why he would be annoyed, he's seeing so many people close to him die and he can't even use the technology that could possibly save them because of some covenant with Elemia. On the other hand, nice to know that Krusche wants to go to the Upper World because her ex-boyfriend Luke went there and never came back. Tbh, the Luke part sounds familiar but I don't remember anything else about this story. And I see, Jack is close to Misha because he used to protect her until he left.. She must have been so lonely after that. Anyway, I don't know why it didn't click to me that people are named after musical instruments here, like Flute and Harmonica lol, not sure what Tastiella is lol.

Time to do Misha's cosmosphere before going up! Adult Misha is beautiful~ lmao at the chunk of ice being an ice fairy😂 LOL at Aurica in the Don Leon costume😂😂😂 I'm kinda glad we did Misha's cosmosphere now though, because I would be so confused why her world is like this if I didn't know she has the responsibility to sing for eternity to keep the world peaceful. Especially now that she can wander around to find her song, I'm sure she's even more reluctant to go back to singing all by herself to save people she doesn't even know, and she's been doing this her whole life. I'm dying at the "flower" you can water with the China dress Misha that turns into a freaking tree hahahahah. I'm not sure about an abundance of love being able to grow a little flower into a gigantic tree😂 But I guess it exactly shows how little exposure Misha has of the real world, since even the stuff in her cosmosphere is really a lot of stuff she read in books. Honestly, I got mad at Lyner when he shouted at Misha to like do her job as the song fairy to save this Krusche, Misha was right that he doesn't understand her feelings at all. She's been stuck in one place for so long and has finally been given medicine that could turn her into a human, of course she would hesitate. I don't really blame Lyner though, since he doesn't really know about her life and her past at all. Shinobi Misha is so hot, I love the costume! It's so heartwrenching to hear how understanding Misha is to say she's willing on giving up on this chance (that she doesn't know if she'll ever get again) so that she can save Krusche because she understands that as long as she's alive, there's still a chance for her to find another way to be free, but if Krusche dies, she'll never have a second chance for her life. HAHAHA, I was thinking if those things in Misha's hair were drums, and thanks to Hama's confirmation, yes they are! But just like Hama's bells, they're just decorations, so don't beat those drums she says lmaooo. 

Lolll at Shurelia being Misha's mum telling her to grow up. So, the reason Misha hates growing up is because when she was young, she was still "free" and got to be in Platina playing with Lyner and stuff, but once she grew up, she was forced to sing and sing, so now she hates the idea of being "grown up" and having to live with this responsibility for the rest of her life, since at least if she's a kid, she can rebel and be a bit more selfish... I always find it hilarious how every Shurelia character in the cosmospheres have to ask Lyner out 😂😂 I guess it's because Shurelia is connected to all the Reyvateils? So even if Shurelia herself doesn't realise it, she really does like Lyner enough that it leaks into all her "characters"? It's terrible to think about how strict Lyner's dad was on Misha when she was in Platina if it's still haunting her here. Aww for Aurica's cosmosphere, Don Leon was a gift from Claire to Aurica before she left the village, she told Aurica to treat it as if it was her so that she wouldn't be lonely. It's cute how Don Leon really stayed so important to her that it's even her Mind Guardian now.

I'm glad Misha put Lyner in his place and told him it's too late to say he doesn't want to involve everyone, but I guess it's understandable since they could die or never be able to come back to the Lower World, but even still, Misha is right, they should be the ones to make that decision and not him. Anyway, in terms of the story, I feel like Lyner would choose Aurica to download the Hymn Crystal into to fight the viruses but I'm biased towards Misha so~ The viruses invading Misha's cosmosphere must have been pretty scary tbh like omggg, that's terrifying, especially since she got sealed in a crystal and everything was a wasteland. It was nice that after choosing Misha for this, it seems like Lyner has finally shown concern and worry over Misha lolll. Well, Platina is saved and now there's potential for more interaction between the Upper and Lower Worlds so I guess that will be nice. And that's the end of Phase 1!

Overall, I've been really enjoying my time with Ar Tonelico again. Tbh, now that I'm playing it again, it really does run like a visual novel with RPG elements hahaha. The battle system gets pretty repetitive and boring though, I'm glad it's not hard, but it can get tiring when there's a lot of random battles, I had to escape a few times because I was just so bored of it lmao. Otherwise, I definitely like Aurica much more than when I was a kid lol! She's actually really adorable and kind, lacking confidence at times, but with Lyner, I think she's definitely found a lot more confidence in herself and her abilities, and we should really be thankful to Lyner for that hahah. I love her weird naming sense and how she's so obstinate about silly things. As for Misha, I still really love her too. I like how she's so honest and true to herself, and I think I like her dynamic with Krusche and them more than Aurica is with them, but I really like how vocal Misha is about stuff like telling Lyner what she thinks and stuff like that. Shurelia is as cool as I used to think she was haha. I think I'll go with Aurica's route first though, just because I've never played it😆

Publisher Playism and developer Kawano will release adventure game Noel The Mortal Fate for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch, the companies announced (2). A release window was not announced.

Noel The Mortal Fate is currently available for PC via Steam in both English and Japanese. Seasons #01 to #07 launched in a single package in May 2018, and Season #08 followed in October 2018. Seasons #09, #10, and #11 have yet to be translated or released via Steam.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

This is a story about the revenge of a girl who lost her arms and legs to a devil…

Noel The Mortal Fate is a charismatic adventure game developed by Kanawo with RPG Maker. After its success in Japan, as well as gaining a manga adaption, Noel The Mortal Fate is now available worldwide on Steam in English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese with seasons one to seven available now in one package.

Story

Noel Cerquetti, a girl who lost her arms and legs in a contract, works together with the great devil Caron, to get her revenge against one man.

This man – dubbed the “pride of the citizens” – is Burrows, the mayor of LaPlace.

Why is this girl furiously seeking revenge against this unrivalled man, loved by the people for bringing peace to LaPlace that was once overrun by the mafia?

While unsteady without her limbs, Noel doesn’t give up on her path of revenge, as Caron watches mercilessly, at times risking his own life to support her.

With vengeance, the pair begins their chase after Burrows.

Season #01

Performing at the memorial ceremony… The highest honor, goal, and dream for every young musician living in LaPlace.

While everyone waits for the announcements nervously, only Noel looks confident. She was certain.

“I will win the piano competition this year.”

However, that confidence would soon turn to despair. The winner was her best friend, Jillian.

Burrows, the mayor of LaPlace, proposes a “deal” to a desperate Noel. Believing his words, Noel heads to the meeting, without knowing a devil was waiting…

Season #02

After losing both her arms and legs, Noel vows revenge against Mayor Burrows. To find evidence of corruption, she attempts to sneak into the shipping company, Aquarius.

But the Mayor’s secretary, Cybilla, anticipates this, setting a trap for Noel and her devilish partner, Caron. Caught in an underground labyrinth, the two encounter numerous challenges. Can they overcome the dangers and safely escape?

But amidst their escape, Noel seems to be acting strange…

Season #03

Barely escaping, Noel and Caron swim to a hideout – a place Caron knows well. In this “hideout,” there are many traces of Caron and a certain someone living here.

After being confronted by Noel with evidence, Caron begins to speak of his past with “that person” he once made a contract with. And the shocking truth was revealed…

Season #04

Now marked as terrorists, a police officer, claiming to be “the Demon of Justice”, appears before Noel and Caron. To avenge a personal grudge, a young man called Oscar D, begins to attack Noel and Caron with a mysterious ability.

In addition to the movements of the police, Jillian takes action to save Noel. The girl and devil’s revenge move to a whole new level with the entanglement of various characters’ intentions.

Season #05

After a desperate battle with Oscar D, Caron is taken away from Noel. Left alone in a hopeless situation, Noel finds hope in one man…

The Bomber who once confronted Noel and Caron—the Demon of Explosions—“Fugo Dressel.”

Noel breaks into the facility imprisoning Bomber by herself. But will Noel be able to take back Caron?

Season #06

With the help of the former enemy, Bomber, Noel rescues Caron. This was also the moment when Caron and Noel finally gain a fellow “member.”

And now, Noel’s next goal is to take down Burrow’s funding source, the Casino “Misty.”

Disguised in uniforms, Noel and the others sneak in. Take down the Casino swirling in conspiracy by using “cheats!”

Season #07

Burrows loses his important source of funds as Casino “Misty” goes up in flames. With a weakening police force, Noel and the others decide this is the time for the biggest attack.

The day chosen for the final battle, is the one that changed Noel’s fate…

…the memorial ceremony.

Waiting at the long desired concert hall is Noel’s best friend, Jillian.

While reminiscing the past, the two girls confirm their resolve to finally confront each other…

Season #08

Two months after the fateful battle of life and death against Burrows, winter has come to LaPlace.

The counter-terrorism group OCT (Order to Control Terrorism) has been deployed to LaPlace by government order.

Far away from civilization, deep in the mountains, Noel and Canon quietly rest their weary bodies. Before them, with the Great Devil Spica in tow, appears Ribelio—an OCT Captain. However, it appears as though Ribelio has gone rogue, acting without the knowledge of the other OCT groups…

Watch the secrets of LaPlace unravel as this all-new series starts!

Story:

Virgo is the second largest constellation in the sky, after Hydra. And the largest constellation in zodiac, but out of the twelve signs in person, he is the shortest. Virgo can be easily found by its brightest star, Spica. And that’s who Hwanwoong is. Known by humans since the 10th century Before Christ. (But we know he’s older than that) First register being from Babylonia, then early Greek astronomy associated Spica with their Goddess Demeter, Romans associated it with Ceres. At times, Spica was told to be Astrea ascending to the sky. 

Hwanwoong has always observed the Earth and humans from the sky, taking great interest in them and what they did. Many times, he came down to earth to learn about them, when he was being studied by the different people, he would hide among them to learn what was being told. He watched the world create and destroy, and leave so many memories to the future to figure out what happened. 

By the time the first magical beings started to appear, Hwanwoong fell in love. And he was proud to learn that the stars would be helpful to them. He felt a deep connection with those people. But of course, common people weren’t ready for that. Whatever was slightly different from them, they’d say it was doings of the devil, and get rid of them. It broke his heart to witness such events going on for centuries.

Until the witches. They begged the stars to protect them. And Hwanwoong couldn’t just sit there and not do anything. They were counting on him! That was the first time he got involved with them. And at a point, he almost burnt as one of them, to ensure their safety. 

As of recently, Hwanwoong has his own Antique shop, called The Maiden, He reads natal charts and birth charts in the shop as well. 

The shop isn’t like the Antique shops people are familiar with. The place is really clean, not visually polluted, the objects and furnitures are almost all in perfect state. They are all very organized and placed in a way that does not take a lot of space from the shop, and finally. There are no objects used for torture or anything bizarre in there.

NTMF College AU Chapter 25

;-; Um

I promise things will look up...

BIG CW for violence ;-; ableism, misogynist/sexist and otherwise awful comments but like, mostly violence ;-;

She instinctively tried to struggle away, but he slammed both fists on her shoulders, pinning her to the ground. She heard, then saw, Spica walk to stand over her, looking down with a malicious grin.

-

When Noel could see again she realized that Ribellio was on top of her—but not the classmate she recognized. His eyes were completely vacant.

“Good boy, Ribby.” She patted the man's head in a truly condescending fashion. He didn't react. “Now, Noel, why weren't you a good girl? You should have just died in our apartment. Think of the vibes, I guarantee Jilly and I would get such a discount on rent! I hear that you even get straight A's for the semester if your roomie kills themselves... which, honestly, was basically the look I was going for.”

“Spica... why do you want to kill me?” Noel managed, her eyes flickering from the deranged Ribellio holding her down to Spica standing above her with the strange device. “What have I ever—“

Her eyes slid over to Caron. She made a face at him. “And you, Caron, what the fuck? You're a goddamn Great Devil, some drunk bitch accidentally summons you, and you just let her live? Why? Did she bat her eyes and say, 'pretty please don't kill me, Mr. Devil?' Showed you her tits? Offered you favors? What the hell, dude. I can't believe my luck, drawing the summon circle for such a beta simp. You're supposed to be a heartless killer, here!”

Caron did not respond. Noel feared that he wasn't able to.

“Shh, shh, can it with the 'but what have I ever done to you' shit. You've already figured it out, right? That you're being targeted because of the ceremony, so like, nothing personal, Cerquetti.” She giggled again, but this time there was an edge to it.

Noel got the feeling that, ceremony aside, it was actually extremely personal for Spica.

“Now, as for your actual attempted murder... Well, y'know... honestly, I did it as a lark, you know? I mean, nobody listened to me. I told Daddy Burrows and that bitch Becker—oh yeah, I know she can still hear me, but she doesn't care about shit anymore which is honestly pretty funny, you would not believe the kinda shit I can say right to her face—oh, anyways, I told them that, gimped or no, you weren't going to just accept such an egregious insult as 'not being the very best and center of everyone's attention always.' You have way too much spoiled little rich girl in you for that.”

Noel heard a noise, and Spica poked the prod behind her without looking back. There was another horrible crackling sound, followed by a groan. Noel tried to look, but Spica slapped the tip of the prod on her face, far too close to her eye. “Hey, up here, I'm talkin' to you, roomie.”

The woman yawned, scratching her ear. “Where was I? Oh yeah. So even though I told them, they were like 'oh no, we'll just expel her, that'll be enough, it's too risky to try and kill her again,' something something rich parents, something something investigation... blah blah blah. So! I set up a little show up on my own. And you were such a star for it, Noelly! You're still so clumsy without legs, making sure that table wobbled just right... Didn't know you'd be drunk, too. Oh, that's right!”

She slapped her fist against her palm. “You stole my New Year's wine! Ribby, slap her.”

The force that hit Noel could hardly be called a slap. She couldn't breathe or even see for a moment, and her ears were ringing. She tried not to sob when she heard the crackling noise, and another unintentional cry from Caron, again. “Damn, your boyfriend really doesn't quit, huh, Noel? Maybe I need to up the voltage...”

Leave him alone—

She couldn't get the words out. Spica slowly came back into focus.

“But I guess that's not an answer you'd really be satisfied with, the whole 'why would I wanna kill you' thing. I mean, that doesn't even explain why I'm working with them, or what the ceremony is, right? That part's still a secret. But why I personally want to kill you? I'll tell you, and only you, the truth, Noel...”

Spica leaned over further, grabbing her chin to force her to look into her eyes. Once again, they appeared to be pure black. Her smile had completely vanished, leaving her with a cold, mask-like appearance. She leaned forward to whisper in her ear. “The truth is, Noel Cerquetti, I'm so fucking jealous of you I can't stand it anymore.”

The concept was bewildering. “Wh... at?”

Spica gestured with her own chin towards the stage where Professor Becker was standing silently. “You know Becker? How she's got no emotions anymore? Well, it's worse for me. She knows what happened to her. She agreed to it. But me?”

Spica shook her head, her voice slowly raising to a shriek. “I still have feelings, or something along those lines, I guess, but something else is missing now, Noel, something I know I had at one point. And you definitely have it, and you're using it, and it's so fucking unfair that a basic bitch like you was born rich and pampered and spoiled and I don't even remember how I came to exist!”

She unexpectedly stomped onto Noel's arm so hard she couldn't hold back the scream. She recognized the sound, the sickening crunch, and choked back the urge to vomit from the pain.

I think... something just broke...

“Oopsies, Professor Becker, I think I just broke something!" Spica giggled, turning back to Noel. "I mean, that was really all you needed to do, wasn't it? Just break her fucking arm, that've ended her piano career real quick. Instead you dumbasses took her stupid legs, what was she gonna do, play the cleansing song with her feet?”

The cleansing song... so there is something about the way I'd play it that threatens them. Confirming this doesn't help us now...

Professor Becker ignored the taunts. “Miss Spica, time is becoming limited. The mobile phone, please.”

“Oh, yeah...” Spica moved down, out of Noel's eyesight and began digging in her pockets. The feeling was incredibly violating.

Noel looked up in Ribellio's empty eyes as he held her down, as expressionless as Professor Becker. Somehow, the vision was more sad than terrifying to her. She remembered the only time she'd ever seen him smile—the only time she could remember seeing him without Spica close by. She and Jillian had invited him to join them for lunch, when Spica was in a disciplinary hearing. He didn't say much as they ate, but seemed to relax just the tiniest bit with them. She couldn't even remember what she'd said to make Jillian laugh so hard, but when she looked over at him, the very tip of his lips had curled upwards, too.

I know him... Not well, but I know him. He's not like this. He can't be doing this from his own free will. He has to be suffering too...

“Ribellio... pl—“

This time the spark was so bright it burned her eyes, and the noise was so loud it drowned out whatever sound Caron must have made. “That's it for max voltage? Damn... disappointing.”

“Spica, please—“

Spica patted Noel's thigh, right where her leg ended and the prosthetic began. “Don't talk to my boyfriend, Noel, or I'll fucking kill yours.”

Spica finally found the correct pocket and pulled out the phone. “Right. So, let's see... no passcode? Silly Noel. Here's your messages with Jillian, ooh, did she ever send you any nudes? Oh, right, you two weren't actually dating, it was that whole unrequited bullshit. I'm looking for Fugo, right...? Anyway, Becks, what did you want me to send?”

“Please give me the phone, Miss Spica. I will send the message.”

Spica pouted as she stood up and walked over to the stage. “Fine, fine... Seriously, though, I don't get the deal here. You had Jilly here, Noel was on her way, why the whole ambush in the woods? Why let Jilly escape? I could've been playing with them this whole time! We coulda made Jillian watch! Have you seen that girl have a panic attack? It would have been awesome!”

If she hadn't been emotionless, Noel was sure Professor Becker would have sounded impatient. “Miss Spica, surely you are aware that, despite how easily it seems that your tool has removed him as a threat, Caron is indeed a Great Devil. It is a shame they were unable to kill him in the woods, but their work was still useful. If he had not been exhausted first, it's unlikely you'd have subdued him at all, let alone so quickly.”

Is he exhausted from healing me...? No, I paid him, he said that would take care of it... was it healing himself, then? No, wait—it was the noise—making the noise to draw them off us. Why didn't he ask me to pay him for that, too? Maybe then I could have...

Professor Becker frowned, an expression made more of habit than emotion. “Jillian's escape was unexpected. I am still not certain how it was done, but we cannot allow it to happen again. When she arrives, capture her immediately and carefully. Do not harm her at all.”

“Got it. Ribby's on the case. You can be gentle, right, Ribs?” Spica walked back over and patted Ribellio's head again. “And I can kill Fugo, right? What about these two?”

“Mr. Dressel must be eliminated. You may do what you wish with these two now, provided Miss Cerquetti stays alive. Jillian will not be obedient otherwise.” She heard Professor Becker's heels clacking as she started to walk away. “I cannot stay to observe. Dean Burrows needs me. Do not fail, Miss Spica.”

So it was a trap... they made Jillian send those messages to lure me, but it sounds like she escaped. So they're using me to lure Jillian now?

What do they need her to be obedient for? Why do they need her at all?

I thought I was the target! Why is everyone I care about getting involved in this!? Why can't it just be me?

She heard a door close. Spica's voice mocked Professor Becker's emotionless one. “Do not fail, Spica!' Oh, shut up, you old bitch... how the hell can I fail at something so easy?”

Noel tried to turn her head to look at Caron. He wasn't facing her. She couldn't tell if he was conscious or not, but he moved slightly as she looked at him.

He's still alive... Caron...

Spica walked back over to them, pacing while holding the prod behind her back. “Okay, so I get to kill Fugs, and I can kill him, too... let me think about how I wanna do this. Hmm...”

“Spica...” Noel knew it would be useless, but she had to try anyways. “Please... just let Caron go.”

Spica stopped pacing, rolling her eyes again. “Oh, here we go with that bullshit...”

Noel continued anyways. “I will beg you, Spica. I'll... degrade myself however you want...”

“Ooh, that is tempting, Noelly. To see someone as proud as you even offer that is pretty nice...” Spica put her hand on her chin, looking as if she was considering it.

Noel looked up at the other woman, her expression pleading. “I'll do whatever you want, I'll be... obedient. I promise, I'll—just please—“

Spica closed her eyes and let out a sigh. She shook her head, giving Noel a pitying smile. “Oh, Noelly, hun... you're gonna be obedient whether you want to or not.”

I know it's so pointless to beg... but what else can I do? I'm not strong enough... I have no way to fight her.

It's my pride that started all this, anyways... I don't need it. I don't need it at all. Please...

She clapped her hands together, making sparks fly from the tip of the prod again. “Okay, so, let's get started! I've decided. I'm gonna torture you first, and then I'll kill him. Mm, tasty despair!”

She walked over to Caron, giving him a firm kick to roll him over. “Rise and shine, bird boy. You're not gonna wanna see this.”

Noel could see his face now, his eyes not even half open. His expression was heartbreakingly frustrated. She tried to smile, blinking back tears. “Don't... watch... you don't need to...”

Spica stomped on her broken arm again, forcing out another scream of pain. “Oh, shut up, of course he's gotta watch. Unless you want me to torture him first? I could switch it up... hmm, which is better...”

Through blurry eyes, she could see that Caron was reaching towards her. Spica hadn't noticed, looking up thoughtfully as she debated how to begin her torture. Noel reached out her arm, and was able to touch just the tiniest tip of his finger—then it looped around hers, squeezing it tightly as their eyes met.

Once again, they were able to understand each other without saying anything.

I'm so sorry, Caron... I really wanted to say that I loved you out loud.

“All right, plan stays, I'm stickin' with Noel as the appetizer.” Spica looked down at her, her black eyes glinting as lightning flashed outside the window again. The storm was back. “Let's see, where to begin... Ribby... take out her right eye.”

Bookshelf Briefs 3/12/18

The Ancient Magus’ Bride, Vol. 8 | By Kore Yamazaki | Seven Seas – I have to say, if the artist is trying to get Chise and Elias to be a romantic couple, as the title might imply, she’s doing a horrible job of it. That said, I’m pretty sure that’s not what she’s doing, and the second half of this volume certainly shows that in terms of understanding humanity and Chise’s own wishes, Elias fails dismally. Chise spends most of this volume dealing with the aftermath of the previous one, including her new arm. But it’s hard not to have the story overwhelmed by the final couple of chapters, as Chise decides it’s for the best to break with Elias—at least for now. This remains intensely addicting, though I’m not entirely certain it will have a happy ending. – Sean Gaffney

Beasts of Abigaile, Vol. 3 | By Spica Aoki | Seven Seas – Captured by Eva and with the threat of having her odiferous humanity revealed to the whole school, Nina insists she’s not like other humans. Roy intervenes, challenging her to prove it and claiming he’ll kill her himself if he’s not convinced. Initially, what follows is one of those “this is so stupidly impulsive” moments in which Nina climbs a cliff in the rain to get roses for Poe to paint with, but it turns into a pretty terrific scene with Eva in which Nina sacrifices herself for Eva’s sake and leaves the latter with no target for her anger. Plus, Roy now admits she’s not their enemy. In fact, the enemy seems to be the creepy student council president, who drugs Nina for this volume’s cliffhanger. Still way better than you’d expect. – Michelle Smith

Bloom Into You, Vol. 4 | By Nakatani Nio | Seven Seas – It’s summer vacation and the student council has a training camp to rehearse for their upcoming play. Before the camp, though, Yuu has time to really miss Nanami (who is trying to keep her distance lest Yuu get tired of her) and is a little jealous at the closeness Nanami and Sayaka share at the camp. As ever, though, Nanami and her sister complex is the most interesting thing about the series. Here, she learns from her sister’s former classmate that the idealized version she held of her sister was far from the truth. In fact, she’s probably surpassed her already in so far as being a good president is concerned. But who is she supposed to be now? Clearly not herself, because her self-loathing is very strong. I look forward to seeing whether Yuu can succeed in helping Nanami to change. – Michelle Smith

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card, Vol. 2 | By CLAMP | Kodansha Comics – The main plot of Cardcaptor Sakura, besides the usual acquiring of new cards, is that Eriol and Syaoran are keeping a secret from Sakura, presumably either for her own good or so that she isn’t sad. This is intensely frustrating for the reader, who knows it will backfire in the worst way. Thankfully, the rest of the volume is exactly what you want from this series: light cute fluffyness, lots of card-capturing action, cute costumes and Tomoyo’s reactions to said costumes, and the occasional bout of silly humor. Still, the “secret” being kept from Sakura not only makes the reader edgy but makes it harder to enjoy this manga to its fullest. I hope she finds out what it is soon. (Also, please don’t let it be a crossover with Tsubasa.) – Sean Gaffney

Fukushima Devil Fish | By Katsumata Susumu | Breakdown Press – It’s been almost a decade since the award-winning Red Snow, Susumu’s first volume of manga to be translated into English, was released. Now there is a second–Fukushima Devil Fish, a terrific collection of nine of Susumu’s short manga accompanied by four essays written by Susumu himself, Abe Yukihiro, and the volume’s editor Asakawa Mitsuhiro, which provide additional context. The manga were all originally released between 1969 and 1989, most of them in the influential alternative manga magazine Garo. The stories generally fall into three categories. The first two are anti-nuclear manga using the now infamous Fukushima nuclear power plant as a setting. (They are very interesting to compare to Kazuto Tatsuta’s Ichi-F.) Kappa and tanuki feature prominently in the next four folklore-inspired tales while the final three incorporate semi-autobiographical elements. It’s a bit of a variety, but there’s a beautifully expressed sense of loneliness and melancholy that is frequently found throughout. – Ash Brown

Haikyu!!, Vol. 21 | By Haruichi Furudate | Viz Media – The game finally ends in this volume, in suitably dramatic fashion. Hate to spoil it, but our heroes win. The win takes up the majority of the volume, though, and is filled with back-and-forth, showing off the exhaustion and stubbornness of both teams, as well as giving a lesson in “short people can too be good at volleyball.” Actually, the exhaustion leapt out at me—this volume does a great job of showing how physically grueling this match was, and how deeply, deeply tired everyone is at the end of it. And so now we wait to see who Karasuno will be playing—Nekoma are their “rival” team, but there’s ominous foreshadowing showing that it’s not going to be them. I suspect the team with the smuggest bastards wins. – Sean Gaffney

Kiss Him, Not Me!, Vol. 13 | By Junko | Kodansha Comics – When a series is about a heroine’s love of 2-D anime heroes over actual guys, and she ends up paired up with a guy, there’s going to be conflict. And given this is primarily a comedy, it takes a LOT to get it through Kae’s head that Mutsumi is her REAL boyfriend and Shion is a fictional character. (The resolution to this dilemma, I note, is so perfectly in character it hurts.) Naturally, there’s a bitter mastermind behind this. Unlike a lot of “you think I’m gay but I’m not” male shoujo rivals, Yashiro actually *is* gay, and the manga does its best not to make that a stereotype. He’s certainly a jerk, though. The series ends in the next volume, and I think it’s the right place to end it. Keep reading this if you’ve already been doing so. – Sean Gaffney

Queen’s Quality, Vol. 3 | By Kyousuke Motomi | Viz Media – There’s a bit less silly humor in this volume, mostly as we’re still trying to figure out what kind of Queen Fumi is going to turn out to be. The ideal is apparently the White Queen, but frankly, all options seem to involve a certain sacrifice of self that I suspect Kyutaro is not going to appreciate—though Fumi already has a big swathe of amnesia to deal with. Fumi is a cute, hyperactive and likeable heroine, but she only really seems to come alive when the “Black Queen” in her comes out. The Black Queen needs to be killed, but is that really the best answer? As with Dengeki Daisy, the author’s previous series, each volume of Queen’s Quality makes me want to learn more about the world it inhabits. – Sean Gaffney

Scum’s Wish, Vol. 6 | By Mengo Yokoyari | Yen Press – First of all, my reaction to the male option that will prevent Ecchan from having to be a genuine lesbian is basically “BLEAH.” (I may be wrong, but I suspect I’m not—also he’s an asshole, which isn’t helping.) The core of this book involves Mugi and Hanabi both promising to break things off with their crushes so that they can finally move on. This proves far more successful in one case than it does in the other, but it does remind you that if you have a situation in Scum’s Wish and you don’t know which way it will go, the seediest route is always the correct option. I’m still reading this, but I admit it’s feeling less like a guilty pleasure and more like an endurance contest. How much more screwed up will this get? – Sean Gaffney

Skip Beat!, Vol. 40 By Yoshiki Nakamura | VIZ Media – After such a long wait, it’s kind of a bummer to get only a transitional volume of Skip Beat!. By no means is it bad, as it includes Kyoko realizing that, for some reason, Ren left her off his list of White Day gift recipients (I hope this leads to some kind of confession soon!), and also acquiring Yashiro as her manager. She’s devoting herself to securing the part of a ninja in a period drama where she can work alongside Moko, but just as the auditions are about to begin, she’s culled, seemingly for failing to prepare for the role by dyeing her hair black. I can only assume that she’ll knock ’em dead in the next volume, but having to wait until September to see that makes me pout. Oh, well. #firstworldproblems – Michelle Smith

[ar3volut1on]

The other night I talked about the coming sign in the sky on Sept. 23 of this year, and said I had much more to say about it but wanted to give you time to prayerfully ponder it.  That wasn’t my first time mentioning the sign as prophecy is a subject I spend much time studying, but I hinted at new insights I had come to.  Tonight I want to really dig into it and follow where the Holy Spirit has led me as I earnestly sought His will and guidance to show me what to make of this somewhat difficult passage.

And a great sign was seen in heaven; a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;  and she was with child: and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered.  Revelation 12:1-2

As I mentioned the other night this exact sign appears in the sky on September 23, 2017.   We know the woman is Israel, not the Church as some teach – if the woman is the Church we have a big problem!  The Church is the virgin bride of Christ as we see several times in the Gospels, and the woman is pregnant, not a virgin!  So it makes perfect sense that the woman is Israel, Israel where the Church was conceived all those years ago.   Yes, the Church was conceived in  Israel when the Holy Spirit came down on Pentecost almost 2000 years ago!   That makes the Church the baby, the baby about to be born!   How great is our God to have placed the exact sign in the sky.

Let’s look at the sign shall we.  The actual main heavenly players in this alignment and their meanings are listed below and when they are combined you have very clear message as you will see:

Taking the meaning of each major star and planet (wandering stars) :

Regulus the alpha star of the constellation Leo, representing the Lion of the Tribe of Judah in Jewish as well as Christian tradition, which crowns Virgo and is made up of nine main stars, plus three wandering stars or planets, for a total of twelve.  Regulus means “The King, the heart of the lion”, giving us The King, the heart of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.”

Venus is known as the Morning Star when it rises in the east, which it does during this alignment.  We know Jesus is the Morning Star from Scripture.

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.  Revelation 22:16

And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,  2 Peter 1:19

Mars, traditionally means war.

Mercury has many meanings including messenger, water, and knowledge and writing.  Consider the following verses from John :

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)  John 7:38-39

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.  John 1:1-5

That gives us something along these lines – The word, the Messenger of all Knowledge, Light, and the Living water.

The Sun which gives us light also puts us in mind of the Son and verse 3 in Genesis 1.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  Genesis 1:3

Add John 1:1-5 to that and we have something like “the one who breathes life out of His image and gives light to the dark world.”

Spica, the alpha star in Virgo, means wheat and gatherer.

Jupiter is the King Planet, the fifth from the sun, is associated with thunder and lightning.  Since 5 means grace Jupiter means “the King of Grace with lightening and thunder.

Last is the moon, representing purity, virginity and calling to mind this verse from 2 Corinthians:

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.  2 Corinthians 11:2

Added up gives us something along these lines.

The King, The Lion of Judah, The Morning star of Love, The Coming War, The Written Word, The One Who Breathed Life Into Being and Light Into Darkness, Is Gathering the Wheat, The King Is Arriving As Lightning With Grace For His Virgin.

Wow! Considering God created, placed, named, and set upon it’s path every star and planet that is mind blowing and deserving of our heartfelt praise. Think of it, the Creator, the God of Glory wrote it all out in the heavens from the beginning.

This sign only occurs once, ever, on September 23, 2017 which happens to be the end of Hebrew year 5777 which is significant because 5 is the number of grace, 7 is God’s perfect number, and a number repeated three times means completion in scripture giving us the year of the completion of grace.   There are other numbers involving the stars that appear to point to this as well but I will just encourage you to research them on your own for now.

Let’s consider that the age of grace began at Pentecost around 2000 years ago when the Holy Spirit came down and the Church was conceived, this age of the Church is still going on today.  We live under grace, but that time may he quickly drawing to a close.  The Church is the body of Christ, who as the head of the body, was born into heaven on the day of Ascension.   We know that when a baby is born the head is normally first, followed by the body.  Jesus, our head, has already been born so it’s time for the body to be born, thus completing the age of grace.  And again we are talking about the next feast day that to be fulfilled.

I should probably explain why the child cannot be Jesus before we move on.  First off Jesus is already in heaven on his Father’s throne and secondly in Rev 1 Jesus tells John that the Revelation is a prophecy.

Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;  Revelation 1:19

So that leaves the Church as the child.

And there was seen another sign in heaven; and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.  And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was about to be delivered, that when she was delivered he might devour her child.  Revelation 12:3-4

As if the first sign wasn’t enough now we see another one, a dragon waiting to devour the child!   Not good!  We know from later in chapter 12, that the dragon is ole Slewfoot, Satan himself.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.  Revelation 12:9

I have much to say about these verses but this is already getting very long so I will keep this part short and just talk about the sign itself.   Now, just using Scripture to interpret Scripture we can see that the dragon is also the serpent. Said serpent just happens to be in the constellation below Virgo, with it’s head before her fat waiting to devour when she delivers.   That alone is enough for me but God might just have given us another moving sign, another wandering star might be involved.   It just so happens that there could be a 9th (10th if you count Pluto ) planet:  Planet X, Niburu, also called the Red Dragon.

  Guys, I can’t make this stuff up!   God truly did declare the end from the beginning when he set this planet in motion on a path that only brings it close to earth once in 6000 years!  Oh, its a dark planet too, not reflecting light like others do, instead it must be viewed using infrared technology.   Easy enough with today’s technology, just select that option in Google Sky then select the constellation Virgo.   See it, well you sorta can around the blackout box Google is trying to hide it with.   Whatever it is it’s big, it’s red, and it is lined up to hit Jupiter which will complete it’s 42 weeks of gestation in late September.   Lined up to devour it!   It actually looks very much like a dragon where you cam see it around the edge of the black box.  The only such box I might add.

So we have the Woman, the child and the dragon.  But we need to see how this all plays out, inquiring minds want to know.

And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.  Revelation 12:5

Remembering that Jesus gives the Church the iron rod his Father gave him:

And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father: Revelation 2:26-27

Get ready brothers and sisters, we may be going up very soon.  If you are reading this and aren’t ready I beg you to do so today, time is drawing short and trust me when I say you do not want to be left behind when the Rapture occurs.   Once the Church is born into heaven with Jesus then God will once again begin to deal with Israel during what is known as Daniel’s 70th Week, a time of judgement for all those who rejected the gift of grace God gave us through his son, Jesus Christ!  It’s basically going to be the worst seven years this world will ever see, with each passing year getting successively worse!  I’ll tackle the rest of the story tomorrow night the Lord willing.

  Signs pt. 2 The other night I talked about the coming sign in the sky on Sept. 23 of this year, and said I had much more to say about it but wanted to give you time to prayerfully ponder it.

'16 "Tweets" on MOECHACHOS

Kid Sis lives in a city (of sorts–#Memphis), uses N-word, mocks minorities, covered up murders of 3 #Mexicans- #Lucky (outside #GoldStrike)

My dying Dad said I’d have Delta for many years to come. But she died young & so did my Ana, because of Indmar Wives

When my Mom died my creepy sister told me at #Paragould hospital she’d euthanize my dogs if I didn’t sign her back onto family bank account.

Orangutan hanging over #DedraOwens (‘Wife’ I later learned) told me I could not go back to my own home. I had no ride. My dogs were helpless

Polk Ballad Granny 👵🎤👭🎲💵 you got had by Gator Tranny 🐍🐊🐽💩🐒👵👭💵💸😈👹👺🎅😂👾💀🔚

‘Polk’ - for punk-folk - the most uninspired, ineffectual portmanteau word of all time. Invented by Dedra ‘Moe’ Owens.

Dad, early 2001, warning me never to trust my sister– “I lost all respect for your sister in 1991 when I was laying there dying in a … /1

… hospital bed and she asked me for your Mom’s car with that f-ckin’ geek standing right behind her looking at his watch.” /2

Incredible coincidence! Man blackmailed out of home & lifelong assets owned items identical2 ones that turned up 4sale by sister & Her Wife!

Cousin & I both got physically sick realizing Dei Moe Rowe probably dressed her “wife” in my Dad’s Marine uniform as a turn-on. Heard worse-

Never sign a shifty relative back onto your family bank account *before* she tells you the threatening thug hanging over her is her ‘Wife.’

In the greatest emergency of your life… Who you NOT gonna call? GLOAT BUSKERS! Those boys’ll pack up their gee-tars & begging bowls & COME

Dee Moe, Larry, Curly & pet monkey looted me, terrorized me, took my home for crack & casino money, & vanished in dust trail of lies #PTSD

Alive Despite Rowes #3WordsToDefineYourself #IndmarProducts #AngelaChristineRowe #DedraOwens #Memphis #Millington #DrugFrontBar

Gambling warnings at convenience store are more honest than Surgeon General warnings on cigarette packs. Gamblers steal or worse to lose ass

Moe’s polk album never came out–but Moe did! After I signed her back onto family bank account, left to me, to keep her from killing my dogs

Mystery solved: The creative giant behind “polk music” simply removed the “a” from “polka”–and freed it up for “electronicA”! #musichistory

#AngelaChristineRowe -“Old people smell”…You weren’t young in 2002 (w/mausolean “meth” Funk Breath). Now, crone, it’s daily Eau de Cologne

Deirdre (Moe’s “wife” insisted Moe call herself this, probably also thinking zebras should be zeirbres)–Dei Moe–has #Paragould accomplices

A Few Things I’ve Gotten Back from Thieves of My Estate ​Sometimes it’s not a matter of how wrong or how right something is, but how gross or how un-gross it is Thank u doctor 👍 Sincere Owens T-U⬆ That felt like RoboCop thanking The OldMan for removing his 4th Prime Directive so Dick Jones could go to The Great Board Meeting in the Sky Introversion is a hidden tragedy and a hidden gift. All introverts are pressured to be extroverts (who make up 75% of humanity). Impossible. Temperament of introversion baffles extroverts, who feed off interaction. When I grew up “nerd” was a slur. Too many syllables in introvert? Introverts keep few friends but tend to be “leaders.” Extroverts turn to introvert friends for ideas. Much of human behavior explained here. Maybe it’s nice to be anhedonic from depression. OCD causes depression. I have Major Depressive Disorder, bipolar symptoms. Denied anhedonia PTSD numbness goes beyond “subatomic level” of anhedonia. Dr F had mentioned anhedonia to me in 1999, before my parents died & I was #abused Dei Moe got the all-clear from a Memphis or Cordova psychiatric ward without telling them she ran a drug-front bar where 3 people were shot💀 Whoever sells any idea that people with #OCD can “recover” from that chronic, usually hereditary, brain disorder, is a liar. Liar😈 vs Buyer😇 Long solitude, shock, strong medication–"do the math” as a walking cliche would say. Any lone, *trapped* person is helpless protecting pets You sure don’t see the MOECHACHOS threatening me now. Already ate meat off my bones. But I’m here, I’m THE FACTS against the THE ACTS. C'mon I went years without reading, in a PTSD abyss. Moe had boasted I would suffer for being favorite child. Worse fate? Being Moe. Da SOOPA STAH Only therapy is confrontation–of problem, of problem-causer, of naked self. Numbness and depression encourage their aide-de-camp, avoidance You have 2B strong and indifferent. Save energy 4 what matters. Be fair, be distant. Generally, it’s harder 2 screw an ©sshole than a p°ssy. “A place you’d never want to go.” Many fellow Arkansans have used that phrase to describe *every other* Southern state to me. HALLELUJAH 😐😕🤔 I’ll never understand why people w/ 2-second-long attention spans ask questions…non-rhetorical questions. Others only answer for 2 seconds When dealing a 2nd time w/ a 2-second listener processing the start of my answer to their question, I like to just shut up.They don’t notice Then comes the bonus. A faraway-look face like a chicken’s, only missing a beak. A void stare. Can someone like this even watch television?😨 Short-circuiting inquisitors make the Ilia probe from Star Trek: TMP seem like Dear Abby. “Fascinating…no signs of brain activity at all.” I’m not keen on random talk. So quiet is my territory. Nip a game in the bud: just keep mum. Then: “Huh?” “Nothing.” Pure truth, that. Zilch Asking then ignoring is disrespectful. My “Ignore then absently ask 'What’?” tactic sure to earn you equal footing other party doesn’t want. That may not be respect,but there are other fine social parries than those that earn a snot’s fickle admiration. +element of surprise is fun “The Cook, The Thief~” movie still unsettling after all these years. Trauma from abuse finally drove it home for me. Grim score so funereal💀 Moe thought she was Spica to my Georgina. The dining room funeral procession should be Moe’s Wife served as sushi to the GS Casino Grannibal Took me years 2 work up nerve 2 watch TCTTHWAHL. I was a low-key guy. Will just say, Albert Spica’s vulgarity cannot compare 2 Dedra Owens’s Abused Poor Pup I was hands my metaphorical Georgina Albert’s substitute pee shooter…& Georgina is pissed at the chilling Private Function Whatever I enjoy about 'The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover’ is what I enjoy about beatnik horror comedy A Bucket of Blood. Fine PLAYS Maxwell Brock, in fact, is sort of a benign version of Albert Spica, and Walter is Pup gaining Albert’s favor in a suitably gruesome fashion Another thing aforementioned movies have in common is a shock ending where justice is served. Walter’s stark suicide actually most unnerving Cook-Thief-Lover film is an assault on a viewer. And I was ravaged by 2 sapphic Spica wannabes & their flyblown sycophants. I still am. PTSD I suppose soundtrack to my thoughts of MUCHACHOS is roiling TCTTHWAHL closing music as glutton Albert tastes victim then dies by his own gun With vomit & cooked human flesh in his hideous devil’s mouth, Albert’s existence ends as he stares, shaking, at his victims & their avengers “Spica gets a taste of his own medicine” Nyman theme is the most unsettling piece of music I’ve ever heard. Saxophones in whirling madness 🎷 As much as I love optimistic science fiction, I lose myself in the searing voyage of scatologist Spica’s lunatic cruelty to foul last supper I’ve seen people more perverse than this unparalleled fictional psychopath gangster teach appreciation of a memorable restaurant experience🍴 I’m a sucker for a pretty face and an even bigger sucker for a perky pair of Gerber servers. Mags I grew up on, like Heavy Metal, delivered. Incredible news at doctor’s office. I can say with joy that there are good people who see the horror a sick victim of crime has gone through Mental illness doesn’t mean insanity. Some great arguments against term “mental illness”… My dr said, “You’re not crazy, you’re tortured.” And as for stereotype of the wild bipolar person… I have BD but have been told my behavior is virtually unipolar. If I joke, I’m irritated If MUCHACHOS hadn’t screwed me I’d never communicate online. Introversion is all I know. But yes I joke. Yes I care. No I don’t back down… Snow🌨️is falling, not sticking, and I am extra-medicated after a much needed new diagnosis for ANOTHER Moe-related illness. #PTSD bad enough “What the f@ck is this?” Dad said as mail to “Dee Moe” Owens came to our home. Moe’s Rich Wife, Moe, & Moe’s current Main Squeeze > 💩🐃🔭🐂🐂💩 “She promises to work on our computers, doesn’t show up. Get her on phone, her voice is groggy, in bed with that girl, on drugs. 'Wha-a-at’” HOW LONG WILL THE MOECHACHOS 'HUSTLE AND FLOW'? HOW LONG DEI

[incorrect-noelthemortalfate]

Spica: Looks like we're gonna have to kill this guy, Ribelio.

Ribellio: Damn...
