Anime Y2K killed my parents - Let's Play Fading Hearts

[RK47]

Hi guys. Been a long time, huh? Let's get this show on the road.

A New Game!

Spoiler

Ominous.

Hi, Kids.

We'll be your guides as you attempt to learn the truth.

A mystery game? Cool.

Before we go any farther, have you played this kind of game before?

Yeah, I have.

Good... we don't have to explain the controls then.

There is one important piece of advice we should give you, though.
Oh, what's that?

They may want you to do or think certain things for their own purposes. Most of the time, they have a good reason.

But you'll never find out the truth if you blindly trust everything they say. You have to use your own judgment appropriately. Don't forget this.

Sometimes you might find yourself thinking, "When I did this, that happened, and now I know this. So based on that, if I do this instead..."
Choices and consequences, eh? Oh wait...is it like Shira Oka? Oh shi-

That's right. Each time you play, you should use what you learned to try making something different happen.

You'll be able to get the most out of this game if you try doing a lot of different things.

We'll be here to help guide you as well.

Oops! We're out of time!
What?

For now, just enjoy living life from the perspective of Ryou. Good luck, and do your best!
From the perspective of- You mean I get to switch-

I used to rulleeeee the worldddddd, seasss would rise when I gave the wordddddd

OK bitches, raise my levy, call my retinue - we go to war!

Dafug? Well that was misleading.

Morning already? But my bed is so nice and cozy...
I shut my eyes for a few moments, wondering if I can get away with falling asleep again.
Probably not. Fine... school it is. I'm just glad it's a Friday.

Ryou, is it? I don't know if we'll ever get to see his face.

"The market opened today with technology stocks rising yet again. Analysts say this could mean trouble if the trend continues."

My name is Ryou. I'm 17, and I attend Crystal Stream Collegiate Institute. Don't get too excited. The only thing impressive about this school is its name.

"Experts in the field say that the dramatic spike in Sorayama's technology industry that came as a result of the Y2K bug six years ago has been healthy until now. However..."

Honestly, I dont' even know why I attend that school. Or do anything, for that matter.

Not this shit again. Hisao, you whiny bitch.

Every day feels as empty and lifeless as the rest, like I'm just existing day to day with no direction. Sometimes when I wake up, I wonder how I even got to where I am.

Sometimes I wonder where my pants are too.

But I guess that's how it is in northwestern Trident City. I don't think anything could make this town exciting...
Ah shoot! The time!

Yeah I need to go to bed soon.

*Click!*
If I don't hurry, I'll be late. Not that I care, but...

She?

Oh-ho. Childhood friends again?

"Good morning Claire. I didn't realize you had such a full schedule."

I smile winningly at her, hoping my charming smile will soften her heart.
Not like it'll work. This has been our morning ritual for years, and I'm sure she's immune to me by now.

What a wonderful smile, Ryou. You still need to improve your tardiness, though.

Yup, she's definitely immune to me.

So you two aren't dating huh?

It's always a busy day for me. You know that.

Not this shit again...

Claire is a model student, complete with high grades and participation in plenty of school activities.
She's been that way as long as I've known her, and I've known her since childhood.

SIGH

Naturally, she won't let me forget the fact that I'm just a slacker. She seems to enjoy reminding me of all my shortcomings.

"Is Rina here yet?"

YOU GO TO SCHOOL WITH TWO GIRLS EVERY MORNING? FFS!

Nope. It looks like she's late as well.

Despite her teasing, I really like Claire.

Maybe you just love being her bitch.

She's smart, motivated, and I just love being around her. I wish I could ask her out, but... there are a few problems.

No shit.

The first problem is that she's dating another guy right now. The other problem is that...

Heh... you two would make the perfect couple! After all, you're both always running late.

Not again... for some reason, Claire constantly insists on teasing me about getting romantic with Rina.

What's the problem here? Is Rina ugly? Or is she fat? Lazy?

"Claire! That's not true!"

I really wish she wouldn't say things like that.

But... but you already admit Claire's taken. So why the butthurt?

Oh really? Then why are you getting so worked up about it?

"I'm not!"

It doesn't look like that to me. Don't you think she's cute?

"Well... of course she's cute."

Then what is the problem?

See? You do like her!

"That's not it, Claire!"

Really now? Then what is it really, Ryou? We've been friends for a long time. You can tell me.

Either she's thick, or she's just trying to make him admit how hopeless his chances is to date Claire. So cruel.

"I... I... can't say."

Commit sudoku.

I can't tell Claire that I like her...

WHY NOT?!!?!?!?!?

Well that hardly proves anything. Hmm...So what DO you think of Rina, then?

Dude stop. Don't say anything stupid now, you will regret it.

Fine... if she really wants to know that badly...

YOU FOOL!

"Well... There are a lot of cute girls, but Rina is honest and puts her heart into things."

Yeah that's good enough. You can stop now.

"She may not be sure of what she wants to do in the future, and shes' a little clumsy, but once she dedicates herself to something, not much can stop her."

Dude.

"She's really talented, but I think her real obstacle is the fact that she is indecisive."

Dem eyes. Dem pitying eyes.

You know what, Ryou? You're more intuitive than I imagined. Too bad that doesn't help your sense of awareness. But I do think that Rina would be happy you said that... Right, Rina?

What?

You got pwned brah.

WHAT THE FUCK? YOU DON'T WANT THIS GIRL?! WHY?! SHE'S FINE. FFS! SHE AIN'T EVEN FAT!

Great... this isn't good.

"Listen... Rina... you weren't supposed to hear that."

Jesus. Barely 5 mins in and already we're in some shitty love triangle. But at least we didnt' die or reincarnated by angels this time around. So think this should be slightly more tolerable.

 

[Ulminati]

Will there be tasteful rape at least?

 

[Jester]

Will there be tasteful rape at least?

Protagonist was already magic raped judging from intro. So i guess yes.

 

[Kashmir Slippers]

So the Sims LP was just a setup after all?

 

[Azira]

 

[abnaxus]

This is Canadian? BioWare ghost writer?

 

[RK47]

(Intelligence)

Spoiler

"We are continuing our lesson on the role of Sorayama during World War II."

Tried to wiki it, no such city.

I don't mind history class that much, but we're going a bit slow for my taste. But slow or not, I still have to sit through class and wait for lunch.

I'm very confused. I thought you were supposed to be lazy and not very intelligent?

Most of my classmates are heading to the cafeteria, but I'm lazy so I always eat lunch in the classroom.
I eat fast so I can spend the rest of the break relaxing or hanging out with Rina and Claire.

So jealous of this faggot. I can never hang around girls in high school.

Hi, Rina. How were morning classes?

They were okay.

Rina is a nice girl with a good heart and when it comes to intelligence, she can't be beat.

So what's the problem, Romeo? You don't like her hair color?

Ryou, I forgot my lunch again today.

AGAIN?

I don't suppose I could...

I just... I don't understand how could this happen. An academic achiever, constantly forgetting to pack their lunches. That must make me a super genius cause I kept misplacing my work documents and had to fabricate accounts data!

Alright Rina... I'll give you my third sandwich.

I pull out a strawberry sandwich and place it in Rina's eager hands. I was actually looking forward to eating that, too...

Thank you so much, Ryou!

Must be nice. Feeding a girl your sandwich.

Her smile suddenly fades away.

WHY DON'T YOU EXIST IN MY WORLD?! I'LL GLADLY GIVE YOU MY TUNA WRAP!

I promise I'll pay you back someday.

Maybe it would be better if I made a separate lunch for you.

She's right. Making sandwich isn't very manly.

(Looks like I stepped on a minefield here.) Rina... calm down.

Ah... yeah...

She blushes a bit. I wonder what she is thinking.

I mean I would love to, b-but I mean, only if you want... that is...

WHAT IS THIS SHIT MAN I DON'T EVEN

Forget everything I said just now. Okay, Ryou?

(Watching her hide her feelings like that... it really hurts.)

THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FAGGOT TELL YOU'RE NOT INTO HER AND STOP HANGING AROUND HER. FFS.

Rina... I could just make lunch for you, you know.

Hello, Lithuanian Hitmen? I have a target...

(Right now, I'll say anything to make her feel better.)

Really Ryou? You'd make lunch for me?

Good luck, girl, please don't commit suicide in the future.

(Oops. Did I just promise too much?) Yes... I'll make you lunch.

Thanks, Ryou! I'm sorry I keep forgetting my lunch!

It's nothing. But you'v been a lot more forgetful than usual, lately. Are you getting enough sleep?

Ryou, may I ask you something? It's about this morning.

(Uh oh. I really didn't mean for her to hear all that sentimental stuff I was spouting...)

About what you said about me this morning... Did you really mean it?

Rina... you know I wouldn't lie. I do think you have a lot of potential. I've seen you when you're serious about something, and you're a very strong person.

Thanks asshole. She likes you a LOT now.

Thanks Ryou. That really means a lot to me.

I let out a sigh as I try to hold back a smile. Rina is really cute when she acts shy like this. Although for her, I doubt it's an act.

Alpha's Problems.

Why don't you think you're an interesting person?

Well... I just felt that I had nothing interesting to offer to others.

Rina.. you're one of the model students in this school. You've got good grades, a cute face and a sweet personality.

But you're just not good enough for him.

I may be popular, but I don't have many real friendships. I only know you and Claire. I feel really lucky to have Claire as a friend. And you...

So you grew up in the same orphan- wait. What? Y2K orphans? What?

First, the pizzas wouldn't deliver. And soon, the internet is down. Without porn, the adults were forced to fuck each other while the pedos roamed the streets to rape every children they can find. The guro-fans ... let's not go there....

I.. I have no words.

It helps to have friends who can understand you.

I sure as hell don't.

You and Claire are very important to me, too. I know I can always come to you guys when I need someone to talk to. (If I hadn't met Claire when I did... I don't want to think about it.)

Yeah, we're both lucky. But it's more than just that. You can do anything if you have a positive attitude!

Yeah, if you keep on believing things won't happen, then they won't.

Much like stabby's Daring Believers in Season 8 Blood Bowl.

Ah... I have to go take care of a few things.

Rina quickly shoves the rest of my sandwich in her mouth.

Thanks again for the lunch!

Take care, Rina!

Rina grabs her things and rushes out from the classroom.

Yeah me too, brb - making cup noodle.

 

[LundB]

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about my face being used in a weeaboo dating-game LP (or any LP for that matter). RK I think your attachment to me might be unhealthy.

On the other hand, I still find my douche-glasses hilarious whenever I see them. It took real effort to find the douchiest pair of sunglasses in the store, and that effort deserves recognition.

 

[stabby]

Much like stabby's Daring Believers in Season 8 Blood Bowl.

... still, technically I didn't lose that last game...


Also, why am I getting the impression that this is going to go places that make Shira Oka look tame in comparison?

 

[RK47]

I'm beta than you

Spoiler

Wow I wonder if we'll ever encounter one. Better ready my mad RPG skillz.

Lately a couple of fanatics have been running around saying they've seen mysterious shadow creatures in the forest.
Naturally, no one takes them seriously.

Still, the fact that more and more people are claiming to have seen these animals is probably a cause for concern...

"Do you think Mystica really has magical powers?"
"Who, that girl who keeps showing up in all the magazines these days?"
"Yeah, I heard someone downtown say he saw her using magic to fight those weird creatures!"
"A girl with magical powers fighting against giant spiders? There must be something in the water if people think they're really seeing all that!"
"Haha! No kidding, these people are all nuts. If anything, I bet it's a setup. Maybe they're getting paid off."
"I wouldn't be surprised. She's making a lot of money off of all the publicity. I mean, being a teen superhero is a pretty good angle of work."

I have a bad feeling about this...

"Well, the otakus are eating it all up. Some of them are even dressing up as her!"



I can't help but laugh inwardly to myself. Somehow, posing for magazines doesn't seem very heroic.

Yeah but posing erotically can earn some serious $$$, bro.

I can understand the need for money though.

No shit.

I'm sure she was already making good money, with her cute face and beautiful silver hair.
But if everyone thought she was a real magical girl, then she'd really be raking in the dough, wouldn't she?
*sigh* The things people do for publicity these days...
But I guess there's no harm in playing superhero.

And get attacked by

 

[RK47]

Friends

Spoiler

 

[RK47]

It's time to choose

Spoiler

I'm as in the dark as you are. Go ahead, share your ideas.

 

[Imperator]

Read a book.

 

[RK47]

Which?

 

[Eriador]

Go outside.

 

[RK47]

Well there's 3 places we could go - outside.
Park / Arcade / Bubble Tea store?

 

[Imperator]

To the park.

 

[Shadenuat]

Temporary Princess... what is that even
Is that a princess who jumps in time, or is it princess which is only temporarely a princ-...
and who wrote 5 volumes of that?!

Go drink Bubble Tea

 

[Lagole Gon]

Park.
The hottest females hang out in parks.

 

[Kalin]

So. Bland...







.....but eh, what the hell, I've seen worse - bubble tea it is! All-in on bubble tea!

 

[RK47]

 

[Kalin]

Completely underwhelming. Totally wasted the potential of bubble tea.

I think I might have been wrong, even after garbage like the cripple sim and Kappa Oka this could be the worst game yet.

 

[Imperator]

work miracle game studio

 

[RK47]

Completely underwhelming. Totally wasted the potential of bubble tea..

You're absolutely overreacting over a lonely visit to the bubble tea cafe.
I tried that once before.
You know what's it's like?

ni hao lao pan, ni yao zhi me cha?
uhhhh... almond vanilla tea.
liang kuai pan. xie xie

ok i give her 5 dorra
she give me 2.5 dorra

i wait as she hand me the ticket.
my number came out
i give ticket to the chink
she hand me the drink
i pick up the big straw and stab it on the cup
i sip.
chewing the nipple like tapioca balls (bubble) and sipping the almond mix, i sat down on an empty table.
realizing im alone and there's no one to talk to, i just turn on my pad and play Corruption of Champions.
my dick is erect as i suckle on the straw for 10 mins, savoring every defeat on screen and sipping on imaginary love jizz
finished, i walk back home.

 

[Kalin]

Now, if the game came with descriptions like that, it'd be a real winner!
