★HEY, HELLO HI AGAIN, SO UUUUUH, I'VE GOT A REQUEST- AN IDEA FOR THE PB&J YANDERE DUO SJSSSK★

★SO LIKE UUH- YANDERE PB&J DUO WITH A BORROWER!READER UURRH- THE TROPE WILL BE PLATONIC EEERH★

★SBSJSBS HERES THE PLOT (it's long)★

_____________________________________

| IN THIS ONESHOT- MIKEY HAD A LITTLE IDEA TO GET/MAKE SOME CLOTHES FOR [READER], BECAUSE, SINCE THEY ARE A BORROWER (and borrowers are like, 6 inches tall), THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ACCESS TO Y'KNOW, FANCY OR STYLISH CLOTHES. ANYWAY, SO HE INVITED DONNIE TO JOIN IN AS WELL- SO HE CAN INSTRUCT THEM ON WHAT COULD SUIT THEM MOST (since it's known by the fandom that he is the most stylish of the brothers, which I love bdhddh).

YEAH, THEY END UP HAVING A DRESS UP SESSION WITH THE READER, ALL SEEMS GOOD AND FUN!! HOWEVER, AFTER SOME TIME PASSES, [READER] GETS BORED/TIRED OF THE SESSION, AND MAYBE A LITTLE CREEPED OUT AS TO HOW THEIR FRIEND'S KNOW THEIR MEASUREMENTS-.

THEIR EXACT MEASUREMENTS THAT IS.

THEY ALSO FEEL A LITTLE SUFFOCATED (not literally), BY THE FACT THAT THEY GET TO CHOOSE THEIR OUTFITS FOR THEM, SHUNNING AWAY THE CLOTHES THAT ATTRACT THEM. (ahem, ahem Donnie declines most of their choices) NOT THAT THEY ARE NOT GRATEFUL FOR IT, BUT THEY KIND OF WANNA STOP NOW.

YEAH, THEY ALERT DONNIE AND MIKEY THAT THEY WANT TO LEAVE AND THAT THEY WANT TO GO BACK INTO THEIR HOME (aka, the sewer walls). HOWEVER THEY DON'T WANT [READER] LEAVING- SO THEY GUILT TRIP THEM INTO STAYING OR SOMETHING LIKE THATDBRJND.|

_______________________________________

★SGSHS, YEAH URH- THAT'S MY REQUEST FOR THE ONESHOTSBSB★

★IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT BORROWERS ARE THEN YOU CAN EITHER SEARCH ON GOOGLE OR DM ME UH- YEAH★

★EEEEEEEERH BYE <3★

(sorry for any grammar mistakesbdjddj)

very interesting request.. I would have to guess you got this from one of your recent post where you had to write about borrowers!! But, it sounds fun! Reminds me of "The clothes don't make the turtle" ep

Yandere Donnie and Mikey x Borrower! Reader -Mikey was hanging out with Donnie! and... by hanging out i mean he draws in Donnie's lab while Donnie works on a few upgrades. Mikey thought of drawing the reader but notices the lack of variety in clothing.. He decides to draw the reader in different outfits he think best suited them. He felt proud of his work so he showed Donnie. He was quite impressed and even had ideas for other outfits. -Donnie and Mikey went to a nearby wall on the sewers and knock on it. You walk out and they grab you and immediately run to the lab rambling about clothing.. You were confused but decided to go with it. -Donnie made a whole presentation about different types of clothes while Mikey hyped him up! You were watching in awe. Your fashion choices were alright but you were a bit interested in what these two had in store and a bit creeped out that they already knew your measurements, size, height and weight without you telling them.. -The three of you spent hours in the lab! having fun and a few laughs here and there! You found clothes you really liked!! until a few disagreements happened..

"That's a cute outfit.. BUT I THINK THIS ONE WOULD SUIT YOU BEST!" "This one is better!" "I know you may not be into this style but it is WAY better than what you wore before!" "Maybe pair it with something else- OH! I KNOW THE PERFECT THING!" "You can trust us Y/n!!" You told them that you were getting a bit suffocated with how they were treating your tastes and how "what they knew was better". You were also getting a bit bored. "Hey, guys.. i appreciate that you're trying to help me but i think i should go. I had some fun but i really wanna end this-" You were cut off by Mikey. "But we were having so much fun!!" Donnie tuned in. "We worked on these clothes for you for hours! Don't you think you should consider trying on a bit more?" Mikey chimed in. "We just wanted to make you happy.." putting on his signature please face. You sighed and agreed to a few more outfits.. Maybe one or two more wouldn't hurt.. right?..right?

*~ Halloween Hijinks ~*

A/N: Silly little thing I thought up and managed to finish on time. Happy Halloween everybody!!

Sam had agreed to let Yuu come to town with him, even offered to take a few of their friends if they wanted to come along. He needed to be at the docks by mid afternoon to pick up the massive order of props and materials for the upcoming Halloween Fair the school hosted. It’d take a while for him to get everything checked and settled, so Yuu would have plenty of time to explore the town until it was time to go back to campus. So, with permission from Crewel (And Crowley, but who cares.), Yuu and a select group of friends were set to accompany Sam.

But of course, Yuu could not just simply do things. They loved to have a theme, a motif, a little funny trick to enjoy at the expense of the masses. So in the ‘Freshest Firsties’ group chat, Yuu proposed a simple addition to their outing just to make it more fun. Seeing how most of them agreed, the plan was set.

Crewel had a massive roll of black fabric that was ‘The wrong shade’, so Yuu was free to cut and play with it as they wanted. They had made not only themselves and Grim, but also the rest of their friends matching simple cloaks and witch hats to wear to their outing on the town. Fastening the cloak, Yuu made sure it was completely covering their body, smiling once they saw it was. Looking down at Grim, the cat monster merely a black mess of fabric and a witch hat, Yuu picked him up, “Welp, let’s go distress the masses.”

Grim tilts his head, allowing his grin to be shown, “Yeah!”

~*~*~*~*~*~

Riddle was concerned.

He stood at the window outside of his office, Trey and Cater on either side of him. Outside, Yuu was twisting their body in a jerking motion that he supposed could be called dancing. He hoped that the bouncing shape on their head was Grim, but it was hard to tell when all any of them could see was a glimpse of blue fire under the oversized hat.

“Should…we go out there?” Trey looked at them, eyebrows creased in worry, his expression only deepening when Yuu started to add more movements to their strange dance.

Cat looks away from his phone, filming the weird performance for his own amusement, “Do you wanna go out there? #I’ve-Seen-This-Movie…”

Riddle sighs, folding his arms and raising an eyebrow, “Well, we can’t just let them…Wait…”

Two new figures were racing out from the dorm, matching black cloaks making them seem like they were merely floating instead of running. Once they reach Yuu, they all turn in a circle, revealing the new figures to be Ace and Deuce. One more brief twirl and hop dance later, the four of them raced off to the mirror, disappearing from view.

…

“...” Trey turned back to them, opening his mouth, “-”

“No.” Riddle turned around, walking away from the window and back toward his office, closing the door firmly behind him.

Cater and Trey stood in the hallway, sharing a glance before Cater smiled and shrugged. Tapping at his phone, he walks away as he starts to post the odd video, “Eh. I’m sure they’re fine…#Cult-Things-With-The-Boyz.”

Trey stood at the window, sighing softly, “I need a glass of milk…”

~*~*~*~*~*~

Leona laid in bed, glaring at the ceiling while the phone in his hand rang. Ruggie was late, later than he normally was anyway. He not only missed Leona waking up, but he had been awake for nearly 15 minutes and the hyena hadn’t shown up yet. He should have been there already with his lunch. In a move that wasn’t worry, he started to ring him up, and even that was taking forever.

Ruggie finally picks up the call, speaking in a nonchalant tone, “Y’ello?”

“Where the hell are you?”

“Uh…In the dorm.”

“Well, get up here already.”

“Uuuuuh…Can’t.”

“...” Leona sits up in his bed, looking at his phone with a puzzled expression, “What the fuck do you mean ‘Can’t’?”

“Just…Just come to the lounge and you’ll see…”

Leona kept on the call, walking out to the railing that looked over the lounge area, freezing at the scene before him. There was Ruggie, one hand holding the phone to his mouth and the other gripping the bag containing their lunch. But, circling around him like a group of over-sized vultures were three black-cloaked figures, a smaller shape skittering around the circle at a faster pace than the others. They walked in a tight enough circle that it seemed Ruggie wasn’t able to move freely enough to use his UM. Not to mention they’d every now and again do some weird movement that Ruggie would have to lean away to dodge.

“...Ruggie, what the fuck am I looking at?”

“Just come down here to get your damn food. I think I’ve been chosen for a sacrifice or some shit.”

“I’m not going down there-Oh.”

“What? What? You can’t just say ‘Oh’ and not-AH, WHAT THE FUCK!?” Ruggie threw whatever half caution he had to the wind, dipping lowing and shoving past Deuce once he saw a massive figure in black speeding toward them.

Leona gripped the railing, hoping his laughter was echoing and giving Ruggie a headache as Jack joined who he suspected to be Yuu and their other little friends. A brief greeting was only given in a matching full-body shake before the flock was off toward the mirror, leaving behind a heavily breathing Ruggie, a confused mass of bystanders, and a cackling Leona.

~*~*~*~*~*~

“Um, Azul?” Jade peeked his head into the backroom smiling before he bowed lightly, “There’s a bit of a situation happening in the lounge.”

Sighing, Azul put his pen down to give Jade his full attention, “And you need my help with it why?”

“Well, it seems your date-mate has descended upon the lounge with a coven of their dark brethren.”

“...” Azul reached up, pulling off his glasses as though that would help him clearly hear what Jade just said to him, “...What?”

“Your date-mate. In the lounge. Descended like a dark omen. Come see?” Jade clearly was enjoying himself, the wild look in his eye showing just how hard he was fighting back the laughter he wanted to release.

“...” He put his glasses back on, standing up and wordlessly following Jade out the door to the lounge. A part of him was thankful they had the sense to wear all black. All black was tasteful and he could maybe add a charge to the current patrons' bill for a floor show. Or, what he could claim was a floor show.

He supposes they were dancing, Yuu and their friends. It was an odd shifting movement that they seemed to time in perfect opposite sync. It was oddly hypnotic, but also clearly starting to distress the crowd. He steps closer, standing next to Yuu and whispering, "Darling? My sweet pearl, salt to my sea? What is this? Literally, what are you doing right now?"

Azul watches in mild annoyance, and a smidge of adoration, as a small smile crosses Yuu's face as they clearly gained amusement from whatever this event was. But they still don't stop dancing or speak to him, “Yuu…What are you doing- HEY!”

The biggest cloaked figure, that Azul could only guess was Jack, suddenly picked him up, moving him farther away from the group before returning to his place in their dance.

He was poised to start dealing out fines, heavy ones, when Floyd exited the kitchen. The tall mer had a note clutched in his hand that he passed to Yuu. The prefect held the paper high, signaling the others to stop their odd ritual and rush out of the lounge. Yuu takes a brief moment to run to him, kissing him on the cheek before running after their friends and out of sight.

"..." Azul turns to Floyd, calling out as he walks back to the kitchen, "Floyd what was that?"

"Oh. Shrimpy’s doing me a favor." With a shrug, he walked past the swinging doors, giving no further explanation.

…

Azul turned to Jade, the other Eel-Mer clearly struggling to hold in his laughter, "I'm serious, what was that?"

~*~*~*~*~*~

Something was wrong. Not at the moment but something was coming, Jamil could feel it. In the kitchen, he stood and judged Kalim’s knife cuts. The Asim heir wearing cut-safe gloves and muttering under his breath to remind himself of the proper grip and position for the knife. All in all, a very normal and calm cooking lesson…Something was wrong.

He sighed heavily, rubbing his temple, trying to think what could be bothering him. Kalim was standing in front of him, his homework was completed, and dinner was well underway (If Kalim would hurry up with cutting the peppers). What could it be…?

The door clicks open, calling both of their attention to it. Yuu stood in an all-black floor-length cloak, only one arm shown holding Grim up. Funnily enough with the cat monster in a matching outfit. Yuu stood silently, simply looking at the two of them.

Kalim and Jamil look at each other from the corner of their eyes before moving them back to Yuu. Kalim smiles, placing his knife down and walking closer to Yuu, “Hey, Yuu! You wanna stay for dinner? I’m helping.”

Jamil rolls his eyes briefly, crossing his arms, “That’s a word for it…”

Yuu didn’t speak, only holding Grim higher, letting the cat monster be in clear view as he clapped his paws together twice.

The kitchen was flooded by other cloaked figures, the three of them quickly descending on Kalim while the house-warden screamed in confusion. Jamil just barely grabbed at his pen before the other figures fled the room, leaving a frazzled Kalim lying on the floor.

Yuu rushes over to Jamil, pressing a kiss to his cheek before they run off, leaving the two Scarabia students in the silence.

…

Jamil looked at Kalim, after making sure the dark posse wasn’t coming back, “Are you alright?”

“Yeah…?” He pats himself down, standing up slowly as he checked himself over, “Yeah I-...” Kalim’s hands pat at his pocket, pulling the hidden seam of his poofy pants to look inside directly, “Oh. They stole my wallet.”

Well, at least Jamil knew what that horrible feeling was…

~*~*~*~*~*~

Vil stood at the main window of the Pomefiore lounge, wine glass in hand as he swirled his sparkling water. It took so much of his self-control to not scowl. He looks at the pack of idiots in the courtyard flailing around and scaring his dormmates. Rook had warned him that Yuu was doing 'something', the Florian saying as such with a smile before pointing toward the window.

He was busy, he really didn’t have the time to be dealing with…whatever this was. As of now, he was trying to make the decision on whether he should sic Rook on them or not. While he would probably take all day with it out of the pure joy of getting to hunt down the first years, Vil needed him for their site planning. Sighing, he turns to Rook, the Florian smiling and filming the odd performance, to order him to remove them from Pomefiore. Only for them both to look in surprise as a new dark figure flew down from the roof.

Only briefly seeing, potentially unbrushed lilac locks, did Vil realize that Epel had flown from his bedroom window to join the others in their dancing in the form of flying over them. The Pomefiore first year sprinkling what looked like glitter onto them in rather aggressive throws. The two third years watch as Epel dismounts his broom, the others circling and waving their arms over him before grouping together and rushing off.

Vil and Rook stood at the window, looking at the group of black fabric scurrying away and out of the dorm building's fenced area like a flock of confused deer. Blinking his eyes, Vil finally scowls and sips at his water, walking away from the window, “I should have just had you shoot them...”

Rook smiles, clapping his hands and opening the window to shout at the fading figures, “Beaute! 100 points!”

~*~*~*~*~*~

If he ignored the knocking they’ll go away. Idia knew he could only turn his game up so loud to drown them out without his own ears starting to hurt. But, whatever Yuu wanted he wasn’t gonna give. But he couldn’t deny that the knocking was starting to finally annoy him. He growled under his breath, the knocking throwing him off on his rhythm game enough to break his combo.

Idia throws down his controller, hair just barely flickering into red as he yells to the door, “Fine! It’s unlocked! Just come in like a- what the fuck?” Idia curled into his chair, trying to make himself smaller as way more people than just Yuu crowd into his room. Why were they all in black? What kind of curse game event did he trigger? Oh god was that glitter? He saw this movie with Cater, he knows how this is gonna end.

His hope rises at hearing Ortho’s update capsule hiss open. Now looking at them all together, Idia now realizes why Ortho asked him to make a simple cloak shell for him. Oh god, Yuu’s weird cult got to his poor little brother…

Ortho flies up to Idia, his hat in hand as his eyes creased in a smile, “Nii-san! I’m breaking my agreement with Yuu to tell you I’ll be gone for a few hours! Please make sure you eat and I’ll keep my text channel open for you to check up on me!”

“...” Idia’s eyes glance at the lightly swaying group of the other first years, each of them adding in their own various movements like some type of hivemind boss. Looking back to Ortho he nods, “Okay…Be safe…Have fun…”

“I will, have fun in your game Nii-san!” Ortho puts the hat on his head, his sclera blacking out and his arms come out to form a perfect T-pose.

Idia watches in muted horror as the others copy Ortho, leaving the room in a single file with Ortho floating behind them. He didn’t care to figure out who double-backed to shut his door, even though he was thankful.

“...” Turning back to his computer he opened his chat window and sent out a message to Cater.

‘can you cm ovr? was jst swatted by a cult.’

‘LOLZ. They got ya huh babes?’

~*~*~*~*~*~

“Should we do something?” “But they look like they’re having such fun!”

“What’s happening- WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO WAKA-SAMA!?”

Sebek looked out the window, eyes wide as he watched his ‘friends’ circle around Malleus in black cloaks.

Lilia giggles, looking out in amusement, “It seems Malleus has been kidnapped by a dark coven. Silver just came back with a letter detailing their demands.” He gestured to Silver, signaling for him to hand Sebek the hastily written note.

Sebek snatches it from Silver’s outstretched hand, reading it over before his frown somehow deepens, “So we have to fight them!? That’s what we’re going to do right!? We can’t let them just keep Waka-Sama!”

Silver shakes his head, “I highly doubt Malleus is in any actual danger, Sebek. I think he’s just happy to be included in their game…” Looking outside, Silver couldn’t help but smile at how calm Malleus appeared to be in the middle of the circle.

“But their demands!”

“They only stated they would ‘take’ Malleus if the proper person doesn’t fulfill their promise.” Lilia joins Silver in looking out the window, “I must be honest, though. I may just let this game continue to see what happens. Plus, Malleus would love to spend the day with your friends.”

Sebek pouted, taking a glance out the window before sighing and leaving the room. Silver and Lilia sharing a look before shrugging. Only minutes later to laugh at seeing Sebek stomp out of Diasomnia with a matching black cloak and oversized witch hat. Lilia down right cackling seeing Epel throw a handful of glitter directly at Sebek's chest.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Sam braced himself on his knees, having stopped his laughter but still needing to catch his breath. Standing back up, he wipes a tear from his eye. Catching breath, he looked at the students in front of him, "...I'm guessing y'all are all set?"

The glitter-covered black hats all nodded, though Sebek merely grumbled and tried to brush the offending dust from his hands.

Shaking his head, Sam prepped the mirror for their trip, "The second we get into town, you kids scatter. I don't wanna be a part of whatever cult thing you got goin' on."

Peter brings home a stray

Felicia let out a tired sigh as she entered her apartment, well, her and Peter's apartment. She wasn't going to let her spider live in that festering shithole he called an apartment so she invited him to live with her at her place.

Anyway, Felicia stepped foot in her home and stretched, feeling the tension around her muscles leave along with the relieved sigh she gave out.

Only then did she notice 'Peter' in the kitchen, his back to her, but his suit was different.

Instead of the red and blue tights, it was red all over and he wore what looked like a light blue hoodie over it with torn off sleeves and a larger spider emblem across the torso. He also had a large belt around his waist and ankle pouches.

It seemed like he had yet to notice her so she leaned on the kitchen doorway and admired the view, specifically the ass.

"Hmm, Spider. Trying a new look?" She asked, breaking the silence.

'Peter' spun around and looked at her with wide eyes, as if he was caught somewhere he shouldn't be. "Uh...?" He dumbly muttered, sounding confused on what to say or do.

Felicia didn't pay much mind, walking over with a sway of her hips. "Not my choice of style, think it should have some black, but as long as it shows off that spectacular behind, I'm all for it." She smirked.

'Peter's' eyes darted all over, backing away like a cornered animal, still at a loss for words "i-i-I- uuuuuh!"

Felicia started to wonder what was wrong with her boyfriend and leaned into him. "What's wrong? Don't tell me I still get you all worked up and flustered." Felicia whispered into 'Peter's' ear.

The sound of the bathroom door opening and a familiar voice made the woman pause dead in her tracks. "Oh. Hey, Felicia!"

That voice was familiar when it shouldn't be because the owner of that voice was right in front of her.

Felicia slowly turned around to see... Peter by the kitchen door.

Felicia looked in front of her again and saw 'Peter'.

Looked back behind her and saw Peter.

In front of her. 'Peter'.

Behind her. Peter

She did the motion a few more times before looking at the Peter in the doorway and calmly said. "Peter... what the fuck?"

Peter, if that even who the fuck he was, noticed the other 'Peter' and his eyes widened. Not in confusion or fear, but understanding.

"Oh! Yeah I was waiting for you to get here but I needed the bathroom, just my luck you get home when I'm busy." Peter joked and cleared his throat as he noticed his girlfriend's unamused face.

"Uh, Felicia, meet my clone. Ben Reilly." Peter introduced.

Felicia turned back to this 'Ben' who stood there, mouth agape and speechless.

Felicia stared at the clone for a few minutes, not knowing what to say. She nearly kissed someone who wasn't Peter. Doesn't matter if it was clone, that was unacceptable in her eyes.

Her eyes wandered to his hair and Felicia knew exactly what to do.

*10 minutes later.*

Peter stood outside the bathroom door, listening in as the taps ran water and mist came out from under the door. Ben's pained grunts heard over the running water. "Please! Please God have mercy!" His clone begged.

"Felicia, go easy on him! He doesn't deserve this!" Peter urged.

Inside the bathroom, Felicia had a stern look on her face as she scrubbed Ben's head, holding the clone in place even as he tried to escape her claws. A open pack of blonde hair dye sitting close by.

"Not making that mistake again. Not making that mistake again." Felicia repeatedly muttered to herself, scaring Ben all the more.

***Omake***

Felicia sat on her sofa watching TV, it was one of those nights she just wanted be a couch potato. Besides, Peter was patrolling with Ben tonight, so it wasn't like he was alone.

It took a while, but Felicia had grown used to seeing Ben around. She couldn't very well tell Peter to get rid of him, not when Ben just reminded her of Peter too much and Peter had considered the clone his brother. The pair even managed to help Ben get a place to live, which Peter visited frequently to check up on his brother.

Ben was just confused about who he was, sure he had Peter's memories but he was like a lost, uncertain child in a big scary world and Peter, bless his heart, wasn't going to let his brother be all alone like he was.

Ben even helped them out a lot, it paid off having two spider-men, allowed Peter to be able to relax and slow down.

Yeah. Felicia decided that Ben was a good thing in their lives.

The sound of the balcony window door sliding open altered her on Peter's arrival, so she got up from the couch and turned to greet her boyfriend...

Only to once again see two Spider-men standing before her, one was her boyfriend as evidenced by the red and blue spandex.

But the other wore a mostly red suit but was black around the shoulders, collar and mask with ruby red lenses.

Peter removed his mask with a smile. "Felicia! I'd like you to meet my other clone, Kaine!" He excitedly introduce as the other spider-man removed his own mask.

His face was a lot less friendly, having what looked like a permanent frown on his face along with a scar that ran across his face, starting from the right side of his forehead and down diagonally towards his left chin.

Felicia stared at Kaine for a few seconds before heading towards her bedroom, only to re-emerge with a electric shaver in hand. "We can do this easy or hard. What would you prefer?"

"Felicia!" Peter cried out.

"Try it." Kaine growled.

"Kaine!" Peter exclaimed.

*20 MINUTES AND STRUGGLING LATER*

Kaine looked at himself in the mirror, running a hand over his now buzz cut hair. "... Damnit. It looks cool." He hated to admit.

Devlog #11: Localization and Organizing Notes

Hello everyone! Welcome to this month’s devlog!

If you just stumbled upon this, I am Adrienne, also known as insertdisc5! I’m the developer, writer, artist, main programmer, etc of the game. The game being In Stars and Time, a timeloop RPG, which is the next and final game in the START AGAIN series, following START AGAIN: a prologue (available here!). You can find out more about In Stars and Time here!!!

LET’S GET TO IT. This month's devlog is about localizations and how I organize my notes!

The month of January has, once again, been all about bug fixing. My producer once told me QA and bug fixing would take forever and I didn’t believe her, but it is true. You kill one bug and three take its place.

Bugs aside, the first pass of the localization of the game into Japanese has been completed (thanks Kakehashi Games!) ! Wait did we even mention officially that the game will be in English and Japanese at release. Well there you go! In Stars and Time will be released in both English and Japanese!!!

Now that the first pass is over, it’s time for the very time intensive work of adding all that translated text into the game, as well as translating any illustrations. And after that, the localization team will take over QA, and will play the game from beginning to end in Japanese, making sure everything works well in context!

I can’t wait for Japanese speakers to try out the game as well!!!

Oh! Also, speaking of words, I wrote a post on how I approach worldbuilding, more specifically expressions and swear words and about how Jesus Christ is not canonical to the ISAT universe. Mayhaps it could tickle your fancy?

Uuuuuh this devlog is so short. I feel bad. Well uh (thinks very hard) how about you come with me on a journey, and look at how I organize my notes? Yeah? YEAH!!! (This section will feature: blocked out text) (Also: I realized after writing all this that I did talk about my writing process a bit in my #2 devlog. Well uh you get writing process: 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I use OneNote for all my ISAT notes! I use it because quite frankly this was the first software I tried and it works. I like how it has tabs within tabs within tabs, so I can easily (ISH?) find any notes I’m looking for!

If you look at the colored tabs, the first one is “demo”, which is everything related to START AGAIN: a prologue (aka: has not been looked at for a year). It contains all the text in the game, as well as general gameplay notes and musings like “hey wouldnt it be fun if I used rock/paper/scissors.” You might notice the text here isn’t in the correct order. That’s a feature not a bug, thats just how my brain works OK!!!!!

The second tab is “Game”, which is the big In Stars And Time tab. It’s divided into a lot of sections, including:

General Dev Notes, which contains general reminders (“ADD MORE PUNS”).

Random Dialogue Corner, which, as the name implies, contains a lot of random dialogues between the characters. They’re also divided into different sections, depending on what kind of dialogue it is- is it a funny scene, or a more serious one? Is it between characters, or just Siffrin going on a big monologue? Etc. This dialogue may or may not be in the game, its main reason for existing is “hee hee I like when my little guys talk in my head”.

Gameplay and Stuff, which is all about the rpg part of the game. What are the skills? How does each enemy behave? What quests are available? How does the game over screen work? Etc

And finally, a big section filled with The Story, which is divided into acts. From the very start, I knew ISAT would have very delimited story beats, which made it easy to just go “ok, this scene goes into Act 3”, etc. For the text, I make sure to keep all the different drafts I had of a specific scene, partly because I sometimes lose a nugget of Fun Stuff by rewriting a scene, and partly because it’s fun to see how a scene has evolved. I tend to write important story scenes 3 times, each time without looking at earlier drafts to see what comes out, and then frankenstein the scene from what I have.

In general I try to keep as many of my notes as possible, because I deleted a lot of my notes for START AGAIN: a prologue and it makes me sad I can’t look at my thought process on a lot of things anymore. KEEP YOUR NOTES KIDS

Going back to the big tabs, next we have “World”, which is everything related to worldbuilding, relationships between characters, the general timeline, more detailed notes on the culture, etc. I used this tab a lot less as time went on, but at the start it was very useful to be able to refer to it, especially for all the city names and their spelling…

After that, we have the “Devlog” tab, which is my own private devlog! I find it very useful to keep a private devlog for myself, because it helps me see clearly that YES, the game is coming along. Every week, I try to write down where I’m at, any problems that I have, as well as screenshots of what the game looks like.

I also give myself space to write how I feel about the game! How is it going? Is it fun to work on this? What do I think about the story, about this character, about this development? I think it’s important to write those things down in the moment- I always keep in mind this post by Wreden, the creator of the Stanley Parable- in it, he talks about the reaction to the Stanley Parable, and how getting so many Thoughts thrown his way about what his game means meant that he lost sight of what his game meant to him. In Stars and Time means a lot to me, and I want to make sure future me remembers why!

Next is “meta”, which is mostly coding references. The way rpgmaker (and, I guess, most video game software???) works is by using variables to keep track of quests and whatnot, and so I used this tab to write down “if this variable equals 5, it means we’re at that point in this quest”! I also used it for code I always use but can’t be bothered to remember, like the conditional code that checks if a switch is ON or not. Aka the simplest most basic code. LISTEN I DON’T WANNA REMEMBER CODE OK

After that is the “To Do” tab, which is pretty self explanatory. I try to divide it into chunks like “To do (localization)”, so I don’t have a massive to-do list, but instead lots of small ones, teehee. This is also where I keep my changelog, to write down any changes I make between builds.

And last, but definitely not least, is my “Messy File” tab! This is where I put ALL MY NOTES. It needs different parts because I made a new part every time opening a tab made my computer chug like crazy. Because it has so many words.

I get an idea for a scene in the middle of the night? GOES INTO THE MESSY SCENE. Oh, I realized when I was grocery shopping that I should fix this small bug by doing this! MESSY FILE. Hehe what if I drew Siffrin baldMESSY FILE. Everything goes there, and then every couple weeks I go through it and put all those little nuggets of ideas into their actual tab. I find it useful to have a file that is allowed to be messy as hell, so the other tabs can be clean and neat!

The Messy File tab also contains the “Entire Story”, which is something I wrote in August 2021 when I started thinking I had no idea where I was going. I took like 4 hours to write down the entire story, from beginning to end, and if I had no idea what would happen, I would just make it up on the spot even if I thought it was bad. And guess what. After that, I knew where I was going. CRAZY!!! I did that a couple more times when I felt stuck at a specific point in the story, and it helped me every time. Would recommend.

And, that’s it! That’s how I organize my notes! I hope! This was! Insightful! Somehow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s all I have to say for today! Let me know if you have any questions, or if there’s any aspect of the game development struggle you’d like me to talk about! See you next time!!!

AND DON’T FORGET TO WISHLIST THE GAME ON STEAM ALSO IT REALLY HELPS BECAUSE STEAM’S ALGORITHM IS MORE LIKELY TO SHOW OFF GAMES WITH A HIGH AMOUNT OF WISHLISTS THAT’S THE REASON WHY GAME DEVS ALWAYS ASK TO WISHLIST!!! OKAY BYE!!!!

murphy's guide to uuuuuh writing objects/places/locations and things (because two whole people asked)

greetings. this guide may or may not help you, as is true of all guides and advice and tips and tricks. but it helped me, and since i'm the protagonist of this blog this is my definitive guide. it shrimply may not be yours. mileage may vary. that said, allow me to give you said advice in the hopes that it does, in fact, aid you,

so when i was a tiny tater tot you know what i hated writing? descriptions. a lot of people really hate it and so did i, because descriptions were just these big blocks of text that got in the way of the FUN STUFF. you know; the plot! the dialogue! the characters! and i see a lot of writers who, to this day, find themselves writing reams and reams of dialogue with no way of knowing where characters are or what they're doing/holding/interacting with, and even if they do explain, it tends to be a few lines like 'they're in the living room' or 'they're sitting on a chair' like we're directing a film.

[INT. CAFE] they are sitting in some chairs by a table. i'll let the props department decide what kind.

the reality is, you are trying to weave a world in which your reader can step into, and a big part of that is writing the uh. the world. and a few years ago i had a revelation that made writing scenes and descriptions so much fun that it's honestly now my favourite part of writing, and a huge part of this realisation comes from my work as a visual artist. so, i'm going to explain The Box.

now, i want to stress that The Box was not my creation. rather, that honour goes to eric hibbeler and his tutorial eric's thoughts on drawing backgrounds and props, which i'll add a link to in a reblog/reply so tumblr doesn't cast this post into the shadow realm (thanks, tumblr!) but the guide he made also applies to writing with just a bit of tweaking, and i'm gonna explain how.

this cardboard box is just a cardboard box, and it's likely the sort of box you're imagining if i say the words a cardboard box. it's nondescript and pretty generic, and in a scene that calls for a cardboard box, it'll do the job! when we write, describing stuff like the chair or the window or the carpet is vague enough that the reader will, usually, just fill in the visual gap with what their interpretation of the chair or the window or the carpet is. for all you know, their mental image of the scene uses the carpet from the shining! but the thing is, YOU, the writer, may have a WILDLY different vision on the carpet (or chair/window/box etc.) and that's where you need to step in and get SPECIFIC about details.

here is a different take on the same box. we've gotten much more specific about the box's history here; it's been used in a move or for storage at some point, it's been kicked around, taped up, taped down, put a in puddle at one point, had a cat give it a few scratches... it's not that many changes, not really, but the box has--say it with me--character.

character, by definition, means the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing. what some writers tend to do, however, is forget this word applies just as much to inanimate objects as it does to the people in their stories. we give characters a lot of, well... character, and forget entirely about the things around them having just as (much if not more) to define them.

in essence, what changed my approach to writing places and locations and backgrounds was the realisation was these are also characters in my scene, with just as much contribution to the plot and the information being provided as any individual person in the same instance. it was only when i realised how important adding such character in visual art was that i realised the same applied to writing!

let's take, for instance, a bedroom in which two characters are holding a conversation. you may be tempted to keep your details sparse except for things that are directly plot relevant because you want to get on with the good bits, i.e. the talk itself, but what you can use the bedroom for is to tell information about the owner or resident without having to outline it in exposition. this is where getting good at giving character to spaces becomes very powerful as a tool.

Velvet's bedroom wasn't much to look at; a double-bed, a desk to edit her photos at, and a few pictures of her family and friends on the walls. Still, she sits down on her bed and invites Blake to do the same.

In this instance, a reader gets the general gist of the location--it's a bedroom with bedroom-typical things in it--but the room lacks any characters or specificity, which sticks out for narrative reasons because velvet is full of character; her bedroom would be the same! so, we have to build on what her bedroom would actually be like in order to build its character and define velvet without directly saying what she's like as a person:

Velvet's bedroom was in disarray, as ever; she hadn't made her bed because she wasn't really expecting guests, and her desk was littered with all her photography gear from SD cards to lenses to all her cleaning supplies. A few last-ditch attempts to make the place look a little more organised took the form of straightening out all her framed pictures of her family and friends that took up all the wall space she could spare, dusting off her big pride flag over her bed before she plopped herself down, straightening out her duvet before inviting Blake to sit next to her with a smile.

now, the bedroom has prominence as its own source of information: we understand that velvet isn't really a tidy person by nature; photography is a big enough part of her life to dominate her personal space; her family and her friends are important to her; her identity is also a large component of her personality; she likes to try and give her guests a better impression even if it's half-assed. and we covered all that without velvet actually having to say any of that information out loud! wow!

normally, of course, i'd lace that information in a little more subtly and over a few paragraphs rather than in one big dump, but the effect is the same; when a space has character, you can treat it as a character that has just as much importance to a scene as the dialogue or the interactions two people have.

this concept can be applied to a single prop, like a box or a camera or a desk or the like, and can also be applied to a much bigger location, like a park or a school or a house or more. the idea is that often, things are never just in their generic form, but have history that impacts the way it looks or defines the person or people who interact with it.

you wouldn't write these two playgrounds in exactly the same way; they both have a swing, a slide, a bench, a sign, and a tree... but depending on how you write it, one has a kind of character for a setting, narrative, or larger location that's way different to the other! this ends up defining your wider world, too; maybe one playground is nice and new because the council got the funding they asked for, but the other is in an area known for having little investment? in the end, were these two parks humanised, they'd likely be people with very different personalities; that's the sort of approach you should have!

the TL;DR of this whole thing is that description is not the part where you start listing off items in the room or the building or the location just so your reader has a vague idea of where they are, but an opportunity to turn that space into a person who has a whole bunch to say about the people who are frequently present. you can even see this in action by writing the differences between, say, your bedroom and the bedroom of your sibling/parent/friend; chances are, they're VERY different spaces that represent two very different people! this is also true of a kitchen, your home, your school, your campus, or your workplace; the office of someone who works in IT won't look like the office of someone who works in accounting, even if they share a lot of qualities and items.

ultimately, think of the humble Box; sure, a regular cardboard box might suffice to give the reader an idea of what's in a scene, but when we give that Box a personality of its own, suddenly that Box has a lot to say about the person who owns it--and not all of them may be good!

Okay so another random name for Mr uncle/father figure, Ree D Civic, cause who knows maybe somehow he also got hit by a red Honda Civic tis a small world

Now I'm going to do theories, that I just want to talk about lol Okay so Ussop leave the crew in water 7 right, and then when he wants to come back Zoro is like nuh uh. So, if Ussop does that again doesn't that mean Ed will have to say something similar, even if itll be like pulling teeth. Then we go away from that and go way into the future to Ace's Execution I feel like Ed will somehow end up with a canon and use that to do something to keep Ace alive, cause can They'll be destroying cannon with a canon.

I was also thinking bout the two year time skip and the fake Strawhats, because you said Ed will eventually just have brown hair so will the fake one have green still? I'd snicker at that

Ed: I'm the real one

Fake Ed: I have green hair! >:D

Ed, their eye twitching: hair grows out you dumbass

I wonder as well where Ed will be teleported (I can't quote it exactly because my memory is horrid but) when the strawhats were separated and asked the question 'where would you go on a vacation' or something along those lines, I feel like they'd either somehow end up at Marine Ford out of spite or with Uncle Music shell. Who I feel like is also going to try to stop Ace from dying? So maybe the two of them will combine their plans or something. Oh or Ed could just end up with Luffy as a 'Where ever Luffy ends up I also want to be'

Anywho I've rambled enough for today, I'll be back Wednesday (unless I come up with more Father I'll do it my way names that I think are funny aha) have a good day!

Bless your heart and your frankly hilarious names.

Uuuuuh I cannot say much about Water 7 aside from it will Make You Cry because it made me.

I’m keeping my damn mouth shut about anything Marineford under penalty of death because I want whatever it turns out to be to shock your fucking system. So will Ed show up with a cannon? Will Ed even have to show up? Fuck around and find out.

The fake Strawhat thing is so real you’re so real for that.

I am, once again Not Allowed to speak of Marineford.

ALSO UNCLE MUSIC SHELL AND FATHER I’LL DO IT MY WAY?????

Skeleton's child climbs a tree in the park, but once very high, a branch snaps and they suddenly falls. The skeleton can only watch as they fall on their arm in a loud snap, then screams in agony.

Undertale Sans - He tried to catch them with his magic, but couldn't slow their fall enough to prevent this. Sans runs to his kid, quite panicked, and uses his little stack of green magic to calm them down, while he calls the rescue services. While the child stops crying, Sans holds their arm still and jokes a bit with them in a calm voice to distract them from the pain. He's glad rescuers are here soon. He then calls S/O to explain what happened before going to the hospital with his child.

Undertale Papyrus - He runs to his kid, quite distressed, but stays calm and immediately snaps the broken bone back in place before applying a strong healing spell. The child calms down after a few minutes, not feeling pain anymore. Papyrus picks them up and brings them to Toriel so she can finish the healing.

Underswap Sans - Uh oh. S/O is going to kill him. Blue reluctantly goes to the child to see if it's serious. He cringes when he sees his arm is detached. He's not really good at healing, but he tries at least to reattach it so the arm doesn't dust. He then calls an ambulance and follows the child to the hospital.

Underswap Papyrus - First of all: he faints for a few seconds lol. Once he's more or less awake, he runs to his child... Then faints again when he sees their arm. Thank Toriel, some random people passing by ran to help the both of them. Honey keeps going in and out of consciousness for a while because of how stressed he is. He wakes up to the hospital, having no idea how he went there, with his child having his arm bandaged. Ah, yes. That.

Underfell Sans - "stop whining it's just a bruise." No, it's really not. But Red is so stressed his kid might be dying that he is a bit passive-aggressive right now. He wants his kid to stand up and be okay. Please be okay... He's more and more distressed as time passes and ends teleporting the kid to Alphys after a few minutes, finally reacting.

Underfell Papyrus - He immediately immobilized the arm with his magic, then calmly picked them up to go to the hospital. It's not his first broken bone, he's used to it as most of his guards ended up breaking something at one point. Just another day... He's not sure how to tell S/O though.

Horrortale Sans - He stares. Uuuuuh. He's not sure what to do about this. Also, he is really triggered but doesn't want to hurt his child so he just... Call Willow for help. He tells them very calmly that his kid is badly hurt, which immediately makes Willow freak out and scream to give him his localization. Oh yeah, that's probably how he should be acting as well. Hearing his brother freaking out is making him freaking out as well. Willow finds him curling up protectively around his child, growling at some people who came to offer their help.

Horrortale Papyrus - He's hyperventilating because of all the dust. He's having a mental breakdown, but he wants to be there for his child. He bravely calls an ambulance and waits for them to arrive. Once he is sure his child is safe, he passes out on the floor. He needs a moment.

Swapfell Sans - He feels guilty and he hates the feeling. The kid was supposed to be safe under his watch and here they are, at the hospital, with a very bad broken arm. He keeps thinking about how he could have done things differently and yeah, he might have broken down after the doctors said the kid needs surgery. He's just so anxious. He's not supposed to be that anxious, he knows it's not that serious, but it just feels like a failure, and Nox always struggled deeply with that.

Swapfell Papyrus - Shit. Rus realizes that Nox and S/O are going to kill him. So... He climbs the tree and lets himself fall, breaking his arm as well. The child looks at him in bewilderment, forgetting the pain immediately. What the hell??? Rus then told the kid that if Uncle Nox and their other parent asked, they both got attacked by a lion. It's not at all their fault. Too bad the doctors said it's obviously an injury made after falling from a high place. Now Nox and S/O are even madder at him for encouraging the kid to do stupid things. Yeah, he deserved it lol.

Fellswap Gold Sans - He tssks. What a weakling. It's just a broken arm. He stayed two months with one once and never complained. He guesses he can heal his child. He does it rolling his eye lights and sighing every two seconds though. You would be a terrible guard. Thank god you're not born Underground.

Fellswap Gold Papyrus - He calls an ambulance, and as soon as it's gone, Coffee goes to hide in his closet out of shame and refuses to get out. He feels so guilty and like the worst father on Earth. He refuses to get out of there before Wine drags him out for dinner. He's so scared to confront S/O.

📍LOVE IS EVIL⭐️💧

It only takes two lonely people to fuck up love and make it evil 🎶

HEY SO UH APPARENTLY IT WAS HISOILLU DAY? I'm never aware of anything sjfnjsfjcj 😭 If what I saw is correct it's because the chapter with Illumi talking about their engagement was published on a 12th of March, right?

Look, in any way, there you go, I drew them 🌸 further delaying my future kuroillu fanart in the process 😶

Hasn't it been a while since the last time I drew the two of them together? Uuuuuh *quickly checks art file* AH YEAH it's basically been a whole month LMAO so much for a hisoillu-obsessed artist 😂

Anyway I hope you like that new fanart! If you do and also like my art in general and want to support me, my commissions are open, or else you can also tip me :)) Don't hesitate to share my art around! It is really the only way I have to earn money, and word of mouth works well for artists!

Likes, reblogs and reactions are appreciated, thank you! 💕

Fraud Prevention

Millet's initial 1★ story (1/1)

Location: city (morning) ; café (morning) | Characters: Millet, Watteau, Aoi/MC

Millet: … Okay, that's all the shopping we needed to do.

Watteau: Yayy, well donee.

Aoi: Thank you, both of you. Thanks to you, I made it a lot faster.

Watteau: If we're already done, why don't we go somewhere else? Like a reward and a breaaak.

Aoi: Alright. I was thinking of getting something to drink.

Millet: Then... How about that cafe over there?

Watteau: You've got great taste! It looks so stylish! Let's go, let's go!

—

Watteau: –Sooo, it was reeeally hard work.

Man: Excuse me, may I?

Aoi: ? What is it?

Man: I saw a not-so-good aura and I just couldn't help but call out to you.

Watteau: Aura, huh…

Man: If this continues, great misfortune will befall you! You need to do something about it now...! But don't worry! You'll be lucky if you wear this bracelet!

Aoi: Ah… Actually… I'm sorry, we don't–

Millet: Uuuuuh…!? Something bad will happen…!? S-So all we need is that bracelet. Do we need three of them…?

Watteau: … Uh, seriously? Ya really believe that?

Millet: …? But he's telling us something serious, right?

Man: … Exactly! I would never lie!

Watteau: I know that bracelet. I talked to a girl who was wearin' it the other day. At that time, she was angry 'cause she was told that the bracelet'd bring her luck in love, but she got cheated on.

Man: …!

Watteau: So, we don't need iiit.

Man: I-If you'll excuse me…!

Millet: Ah… The good luck bracelet…

Aoi: … Millet-san, that is a scam.

Millet: Huh!?

Watteau: Ya don't really believe in lucky bracelets, do ya? I don't want anythin' from a guy with sticky hands like him…

Millet: B-But…

… Mmmh, I've been told by Courbet before not to be fooled so easily.

Watteau: If we hadn't been there, ya would've been in trouble, ya know?

Aoi: I think you should be a little more skeptical of others…

Millet: Hm… Got it. I'll be more careful next time.

Woman: –Uuuhm, excuse me. Are you interested in a magic brush?

Millet: A magic brush…!? What in the world could it be…!?

Watteau: … Nah, no good.

Vacation

#10: "I think... I'm in love with (Name)" || "Congrats on being the last one to find out" for Linzolt.

And this is the last one of the series! Thank you so much for bearing with my pace.

Lin was haphazardly folding her laundry when Suyin barged into her room. The Chief thought it absurd how her sister called her home in Zaofu a 'vacation' for Lin. With the amount of incessant nitpicking and nagging and-

"This week went by so quickly. It feels like you just got here yesterday!" Suyin sighed as she flopped herself on the bed.

"Oh, it doesn't," Lin mumbled to herself.

"Time sure flies by when you're having fun!" The younger matriarch concluded with a happy shrug.

"Right." Lin gave her a tight, fake smile and turned back to her duffel bag.

"Are you excited to be back in Republic City again?" She asked amicably.

Lin groaned in response. She really hated small talk: especially with nosy little Suyin.

"Sure." She murmured.

"I hear there's someone special waiting for you-"

Lin zipped her bag shut loudly to cut her off. She didn't want to hear it. Of course, Suyin couldn't go a whole three weeks without mentioning-

"I was rightfully shocked when I found out! A criminal at that-"

Lin hissed sharply, "Su!"

Suyin sat up on the bed, "Sorry," She giggled, "I am happy for you though. I never would have imagined the two of you in my wildest of dreams, I mean, in a spider-rat-cat-owl chase, the last thing one would expect is for them to get together. I'm simply amazed!"

"For the last time, we're not together." The older woman deadpanned.

"I know, I know," Suyin replied, standing up before her sister, "You're not together. You're just using each other for sex."

Lin scoffed defensively, "We're not using each other for anything!"

"You're telling me there's more to your relationship than sex?" Suyin raised an eyebrow, "What kind of pillow talk would a cop have with a criminal? Defense strategies? I know he's not your informant." She laughed.

Lin fumbled unbecomingly. She was so grateful she was leaving soon, "Su, Don't be ridiculous! There's more to talk about aside from work. Besides, he's clean now."

Suyin placed her hands on Lin's and sat her down at the foot of the bed with her, "Yeah?" She asked softly, "What do you talk about?"

"I don't know?" Lin frowned, "Things? Life? Why are you-"

"Do you like talking to him?" She asked in the same gentle tone.

"More than I like talking to you!" She taunted, pulling her hands away and standing up.

Suyin chuckled, "So you like talking to him and you have a sort of emotional connection with him. Interesting."

"Spirits, Suyin!"

She stood up and slowly cornered Lin, "Give me three good reasons why you're not together."

Lin was pulling blanks. She wanted to spring out words- even if they were far from the truth, as long as they shut Suyin up.

"I- uh," Her cheeks began to color, "We don't think- uh-"

"Uuuuuh!" Suyin teased in an octave closer to Lin's, before giving out a shrill laugh, "You don't have an answer!"

Lin rolled her eyes and walked back towards the bed.

"Lin, do you have feelings for him?" She asked cheekily.

Lin rolled her eyes again, although this time, Suyin couldn't see it.

"He's an ex-criminal and I'm a cop. Neither of us wants the whole relationship drama that comes with being together and lastly, it's none of your spirit-damned business, Su."

"Two reasons." Suyin smiled, "And I think I know the third one."

Lin spun around and grimaced.

"You're in love with each other!"

Lin scoffed, "You're way off base, Suyin."

"Well," she licked her lips before spreading them into the widest, wickedest of smiles, "Why is there biplane being chartered over my city then?"

"What do you mean?" Lin was spellbound.

"There's a biplane being flown above with the help of firebending. My staff tells me it's Lightning Bolt Zolt. The same man who went clean mere days after you actually went out to a sit-down restaurant for a meal."

Lin was too stunned to speak. So Suyin further clarified, "You really didn't think I'd have my old contacts look into the man who'd gotten you all jittery after all these years?"

"What does this have to do with-"

"Lin, I don't trust you with giving me the rundown on your romantic life. I know you're incapable of it and I accept your shortcomings. So, I did some digging myself. I know the fire sapphire ring you're dawning on your finger there," Lin eyed her finger belatedly, "hasn't made a dent in the Beifong fortune." Su looked satisfied with herself, having out-detectived her own sister, "He loves you, Lin. And I know you do too. Don't be so afraid to accept it."

"Fine." she relented and finally managed to stutter, "I think... I'm in love with Zolt." she said it out loud for the first time. She allowed herself to think it for the very first time.

"Congrats on being the last one to find out." she grinned, "Now get out of here and go with him. It seems like you're off work for another week."

Lin only bit back a smile in response.

Chapter 6- Part 3

Through this corner and up this hallway we go, aaand here we’ve got some more Grunts!

It’s more likely than you think!

Alright, this isn’t so bad- Riptide can handle Aron pretty easily. Water Gun time, baby!

Heck yeah. Well- not for Budew, both Aron and Zubat have been ganging up on it, very sad. Anyways, back to attacking-

Hm- Riptide’s not doing as much damage to Zubat as I’d like, not to mention he just got a level-up…so you know what? I’ll switch into Whiskers, she’s got Zen Headbutt anyways.

Speaking of switching, uh…

You know what? Sandile’s a much better matchup against the Zubat than Budew. In fact, it’s such a better matchup that Sandile ends up stealing Whiskers’ kill with Bite!

Eh…a victory is a victory I guess, and Whiskers gets the exp. points either way.

Oh- his Sandile’s Ability is Moxie? That’ll be good to remember in the future.

You’re not allowed to do that punchline!! I already did it!!

Alright, so, continuing on up here, we kinda turn these corners, and then…

Hey, there’s an item up there! I don’t think we can go up to the second floor just yet, but when we do, I’ll have to remember to grab whatever that is.

AND THEN X HAD TO LEAVE TO TAKE CARE OF IRL STUFF.

SHE CAME BACK AFTER SEVERAL HOURS.

So, it is currently 9:30 PM as of the time of writing this. I could wait until tomorrow morning to continue on with this escapade, when I’m a little less tired, but I’d actually rather not do that, soooo…

(Future edit: Little did I know, I would have no choice but to put the rest of this play session off until the next day anyways, but I digress-)

Also, through the power of saving the game, I have discovered this location is called Mosswater Industrial! As I said before: YEAH DUDE, IT SURE IS!

Now, despite the fact that Ace told the Grunts to slow us down and we need to stop them from deleting all the data (I’m assuming), I…don’t think there’s an actual time constraint? Like, Fern didn’t say anything like “we need to get up there as soon as possible, we can’t waste time fighting everyone” or something, and there’s no indication of a legit time limit, so like…I don’t think there’s a penalty to fighting all the Grunts we come across.

In other words, despite the fact that we went around these two, we’re gonna beat them up anyways.

Alright, what have we here…I don’t think we have anything that’s specifically good against either of these, but Streak can still hold his own. And we can start that with Tail Whip, which will lower both Rattata and Lillipup’s Defenses at the same time!

This’ll be useful not just for Streak, but for Fern’s Sandile as well because uuuuuh…well, Budew got knocked out again. RIP, I guess.

So, neither Streak nor Sandile are super great against these two, but they’re still doing…something. I’m having Streak focus on Lillipup for the time being-

Which worked out very well! Now these two can just focus on the Rattata and win the battle, which also works out well enough- ignore Streak’s HP, he’s fine.

Can’t believe Xera and Fern are exterminators now- but given that was a bit of a running gag with a D&D campaign me and some friends did (lest we forget Slap Her Bald Head Sunday), I’m fine with carrying on the legacy in this playthrough.

And I was heading into the menu to check something, and I finally noticed something…

The party gets healed after every battle! I didn’t even notice that in the last few battles, but now that I do- great! That means I’ll have an easier time saving resources (namely those Potions) during this. My cheapskate arc in this game continues on apace!

Zetsubou Woe’s: Part 1

*In another section of the lab, Monotaro and Monophanie boot up the call to Zetsubou’s headquarters.

O-Ok Monophanie...You tell Shirogane that we failed to kill Akamatsu with the Exisal’s, and I’ll tell her that Monodam betrayed us and is working with her now.

Who’s gonna tell her that Monosuke was killed by her and that Monokid’s Exisal has been compromised...!?

Uuuuuh...I dunno...Scissors Paper Rock for it?

How are we going to do that!? We don’t have fingers!

Ugh! It’s starting!

What is it? Whatever news you’ve brought forward had better be good.

Uh...well...

*One explanation later.

You WHAT!?

L-Like we said...! We thought Monodam had killed Akamatsu, but then he apparently started speaking against Zetsubou’s ideals, so Monosuke was forced to shut him down!

But Akamatsu saved him, and now Monodam is fighting on her side! The AI she’s with also compromised Monokid’s Exisal, so now she’s got two Exisal’s and her super spear, against just the two of us!

AI huh? I think they might be referring to Sora on that one.

Sora, huh? That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

*The other members of Organization Zetsubou actually sit with Tsumugi as she talks to the Monokubs, sans Celeste, Nagito and Mikihiko.

Ugh! MORONS! Why did I ever think I could rely on you for any of this!

We’re trying our best! But she keeps on outsmarting us every time!

Yeah, like that’s difficult! You know what!?

That thing I said about letting you all out if you kill her!? FORGET IT! I hope you both get SLAUGHTERED!

*Shirogane angrily ends the call.

...!?

No...!

...

That was pretty harsh, Mugi-chan.

Hey...It’s not like it’s any great loss to us, right?

Honestly, from my perspective, it looks to me like you never planned on letting the Monokubs leave the lab in the first place.

...What gave it away?

If nothing else, your reaction just now. So I was right?

Sort of. I did plan on taking them out, but...I was going to repurpose them a little. But now I don’t think I’ll bother. No amount of refurbishment can rescue that level of ineptitude.

Hey, at least we can finally move on from this. Maybe we should send down a strike force to take care of the Future Foundation outside.

Ahem...I’m sorry...Who said anything about us moving on?

Eh?

Kaede Akamatsu is still alive in that lab. And because of that, we’re not finished yet.

This may be our one and only opportunity to eliminate her before things spiral out of control.

Mugi-chan, why are you so hung up on this!? Is it THAT essential to you that we kill this one girl over ANYONE ELSE the Future Foundation has?

I mean...It’s not as if there’s not rhyme or reason behind it, right? Akamatsu’s clearly strong enough to take down an Exisal, and the whole point of those was to be undefeatable death mechs.

It’s enough to get ME pumped up, so give both her and Mugimu a little bit of credit, Yukari!

Narumi’s battle-hungry antics aside, I gotta agree. The problem isn’t that Akamatsu isn’t a threat, because she’s proven that she very much is.

It’s just...she seems to be a relatively minor one compared to the likes of Sakura Ogami, Hajime Hinata and Kuripa Kurafto, which we’ve also had to contend with. And yet right now, she seems to be everybody’s priority.

Correction: She’s not everybody’s priority. But she automatically becomes everyone’s focus because she’s solely Shirogane’s priority.

Yeah...thanks for that clarification...Not that we needed it.

What do you even plan to do, Tsumugi? If the Kubs are a bust, are you just gonna drop a ton of Monokuma’s on the lab and call it a day?

“A Ton of Monokuma’s” in terms of power, are equivalent to that of one Exisal. Akamatsu has already proven she’s capable of taking them down, AND she has two at her disposal. It won’t be of much use.

So what’s the plan?

The plan is I’m going to send someone I ACTUALLY can trust into the lab to eliminate her and her little battalion she’s got accompanying her, not to mention I’ll have to slaughter that traitorous Monokub too.

Who did you have in mind?

Actually, Ms Otonokoji. I was thinking of you.

*Kanade stops fiddling with her guitar pick and looks up.

What...!?

It’s not like you’ve had a lot to do lately. I don’t think you can overpower Kaede, but you’re definitely nimble and cunning enough to outmaneuver and outsmart her and her companions.

Plus, wouldn’t it be nice to see your old friend Sora again?

I get what you’re saying...but even so, I’ll pass.

Hey! You were given an order! There’s no “passing” on that!

And I’ve chosen to refuse that order. Need I remind you that this relationship that we have is purely give and take, Zetsubou?

*Kanade shifts so she sits more comfortably and smugly in her seat.

I’m on your side and will do whatever you want provided it’s within reason, and then in the end, I expect you to give me what you offered. But given that your personal grudge against one girl is a ridiculous waste of my time, I think I’ll pass.

...

Mugimu, just drop it. She’s clearly not interested-

My apologies Otonokoji-san. I think I may have led into this conversation the wrong way.

Like you said, our relationship is give and take. So what if I was to give you the best thing you could possibly take?

Huh?

The thing that you desire most...What we offered to you upon your resurrection...It’s IN that lab, WITH Akamatsu.

!!!??

*Kanade drops the cool act, lurching to her feet and glaring wide-eyed, bared-fangs at Shirogane.

Wh-What did you say!?

Mugi-chan!? A-Are you sure you want to-!?

Why do you think I haven’t just shot an atomic missile at that lab and called it a day? Aside from the fact that there’s Killing Game Targets within the vicinity, the bargaining chip we in Zetsubou have for you is in that lab, and has been all this time.

Go in there, and kill Kaede Akamatsu...Kill both the treacherous Kub and the shitty little AI...and it’s all yours.

You...had better not...be lying to me...!

I wouldn’t bullcrap you when it comes to something like this.

So you don’t intend to let the Kub live? You seem to deal with traitors very seriously.

Uchui! Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot you were here.

If I could, I would torture him before I kill him, but it’s best for us to just get him out of the way.

I’d say you have your priorities on straight, but...I think all of us in this room can conclusively agree that you don’t.

*Tsumugi turns to Uchui.

I’m sorry, what did you say?

Forgive me for speaking out of turn, but I want you to know this. It may come to a point where you can either kill Akamatsu, or host your penultimate Killing Game. And you might not be able to do both, so what would you do in that situation.

Your Killing Game has been your main plan this whole time. Would you sacrifice all of it, just for the sake of this vengeance you seem to be seeking?

...

Mugi-chan, he has a point. Answer me this. What’s more important to you?

Kaede Akamatsu’s death, or making your dream Killing Game come true?

Akamatsu’s death. No question.

!!!??

Woah! Didn’t see THAT coming.

What the fresh hell...!?

Mugimu!?

No hesitation...!

!!!??

*Tsumugi gets up, and starts to leave the room.

I’ve given you what you want. For now, this little gathering is adjourned.

I need to...think...

*Tsumugi exaunts.

What the actual hell was that about...?

Is...Is she serious? She’s going to throw it all away, sacrificing what could be her grand master plan and everything she’s built up...JUST to kill ONE GIRL!?

You Zetsubou fools confuse the hell out of me. More than once now, you’ve talked about your ideas of grandeur, and how you’re going to change the world together.

And yet most of you always do shit that interferes with those ideas, because it suits your own personal interests. At least Future Foundation are committed!

I mean...everyone expects that from me and Akira, but from our LEADER!?

What confuses me is that we do not even know Shirogane’s motive. She’s obviously completely serious about wanting to kill Kaede Akamatsu, but isn’t telling anyone, not even us, why she desires such a thing?
