Matsumori Days

This brings another problem. Locations. Forget about the problems inherent about physically making maps, and concentrate on what the possible locations are. If I can figure that out, I can figure out which is the best place for which girl. Then I can concentrate on the hard part of making the maps!

Obviously, I need a library. This serves as a mostly neutral location, as no girl has a particularly fond time at it. With the exception of Masako's research date. But let's not consider that quite yet. I want to look at generalities rather than specific moment in a girl's arc.

It seems to me that there should be some kind of park to visit. An outdoorsy area, if nothing else. Who would enjoy this the best? Toshie seems particularly active, but Joruri might be okay with it as well.

Isn't there always some kind of restaurant sequence? Nothing fancy, of course. So... Joruri's favorite date location? Possibly.

There's no graphics to support a good sakura (cherry blossom) tree with the default VX graphics. Sad, since this seems like a good fit for Joruri or even Masako.

So, I'm left with where Masako would like to go. Obviously, it can't be the library. It's got to be a place nobody would suspect an intellectual would like to go. The movies? Actually, that probably isn't a bad idea in general to have. We could have a sub-set of various movies to watch. We could have "Generic Action Thriller Part V" that Toshie would love to see. We could have "(Final) Fantasy Foolishness Version Omega" that Joruri would enjoy. We could have "Spy Thriller: The Ulkimate Sequel" that Masako is subtly interested in watching. I could even have everyone's favorite "Nakaishi Wars: First Contact".

So, I've gots the ideas. Now, it seems to me that the easiest way to implement this is Show Choice. You go up to a girl, and she'll be like "Wanna go somewhere Goho?" (Masako's line: "Is there a place that we could convene that would be a pleasurable experience?")

The initial choice would be:
Library
Park
Restaurant
Movie

Depending on the girl, the reaction would be different. Toshie, though, would probably always say, "Okay! Let's do this!" If one chooses Movie, the girl would ask what kind of movie "Goho" had in mind. Show Choice is our friend:
Generic Action Thriller Part V
(Final) Fantasy Foolishness Version Omega
Spy Thriller: The Ulkimate Sequel
Nakaishi Wars: First Contact

Again, the reaction would be different, but Toshie would probably always say, "Oh! I always liked that one!"

This is getting somewhere!

If I seem like I'm rambling, you're right. I wrote that stuff down as I thought them up. Total stream-of-consciousness. Hopefully, I'll come up with ideas to make things more fleshed out and believable.

Suggestions are welcome!
