yep that's pretty much what i was trying to say but a word of advice if you do it that way try not to leave the readers with more questions then answers.

I'm not trying to say don't have your characters explain what they are trying to do I'm saying you don't have to pull a sliders or an sg1 and explain every little detail just to wrap things up or worse pull a lost and write yourself into a corner and pull a big cop out ending that explains but doesn't
I'm surprised how this topic is somewhat related to Hanabi and Kanon (the repeating dream/parallel universe stuff)
...I guess you guys won't mind if I "steal" some ideas right?

I'm not sure what he said either. And no explanation? I dunno about that. I definitely wouldn't let Masako get away with casting spells on me without running me through the basics at least. I know the Player is an idiot, but is he so much? And from the real-life player's standpoint, not knowing what's going on is annoying.

If Masako is having the player make a choice, it seems to me that she would want to player to be armed with as much information about the situation as possible. So, in this respect, Masako should provide what explanation there is. While she might understand the technicalities behind it all, she might figure that the player may not. So, while she would strive to be understandable, some technical jargon might slip through anyway.

I don't mind. I mean, you touch on the the supernatural with Konohana Midori. She's a ghost, for crying out loud! Anyway, if what we're talking about helps that along, or whatever it is that you're working on, go for it. It's not like you're not going to borrow ideas anyway...

i can't speak for dozen but i was giving my ideas out for free so can't steal what is freely given
My ideas are not free. However, by theft I'm only impressed. The only reason I'm not giving my thoughts away is the off chance some law abiding shmuck comes along and assumes I require compensation. Like a reverse Pay-what-you-want deal.

Welp. Then we have to extablish the background. Can we go with my plan, or you have something else in mind?

I do feel somewhat obligated to you, so I might go with your plan. Though, if I end up going in a different direction, I'll let you know via posting about it. Fair enough?

honestly, I never expected that it can be accepted...
...I mean me turning Heartache 101 ~Sour into Sweet~ into a fantasy
@lordnight that is what is so great about this game it is open to everything supernatural, horror, scifi, and the door for fantasy was opened with akari's route i'm suprised one of the girls hasn't turned out to be an alien yet

@marrend what do you think of yoko trying to get shoko to talk i think i can have some fun with that

I have enough done in yokos to post a taste of her non clean mode today but i will wait till black friday when i will have enough of both routes it will only be a small taste around 6 events each

This post is where I will probably get most of my information from, but I'm not seeing where Fran's appetite is falling into place? Maybe it's not supposed to be included, but there was this post...

I'm not sure what you're planning, but please keep this in mind:
author=Izumi
I simply wanted to note that it takes a certain level of trust before Shoko decides to use her voice.


As a total aside, you guys are sounding like you want to make some kind of hybird of Final Fantasy and Heartache 101....

Oh, right! I forgot to mention that part! How was it again? *Flips up a copy of Libris Mortis* Uh, Chapter 1, Undead diet section... There it is, Dream Vestiges have inescapable craving for minds, and when that's done, the now mindless bodies, which they achieve by draining the intellect first, and what is fully drained can be absorbed into the Vestige, which is why the homeworks completely disappear, and not just the text written on the paper. Normally this is done by draining and absorbing an intelligent creature, but we can understand if Fran would rather skip on that and settle for homework and Tsubasa's notes. The entry also notes Dream Vestiges are very capable of eating other undead, so Akari's composer friend and LordNight's ghostly band would probably shit themselves in fear if Fran hung around their turf.

And writing this down gave me an idea! We could have the Player see a book(?) being consumed, text-first, to have him realize there's some magic shit going on. This way we'll hint that Masako is in the right, not Tsubasa.

So... could you not have her have repeat out loud everything Shoko says? That gag is old as hell.
that took me 5 mins to write and most of it is her just responding to shoko

So your point is that you post something you just made up and are probably going to change, because why?
to show the tone that i have planned for yoko to try and get her to talk i don't want yoko to force her to talk more try to convince her that she should but in kind of a caring way without pitying or condescending shoko

The idea is nice, I quite like it. But unlike Masako, we're not telepaths. Tell us what you want us to comment on next time.
