Then, should the paddles be her idea? Or, maybe, she provided the female uniforms?

The most I see her do is say, "Ya big meanies! What'ja do that for?" However, I'm thinking that, since the incident was brought to the attention of the authorities, she'd very probably let them handle it, and not interact with Yoko's experiment at all? I mean, don't Yoko's experiments feel a little too mean-spirited for somebody like Ruri? Is it just me?

*Edit, attempt at diffusion: If there are doubts about what should be written for a character of my creation, ask me! After all, do we not want these custom characters to succeed?
marrend with the letting the teachers handle it you're getting a small bit ahead of me the next part is the summation which is going to involve masako. That being said i have two questions for you where do you see mayus intelligence? Would ruri have suggested the underwear to stop yoko from doing something even meaner?

dozen i have no attachment to this part in fact i'm starting to think it may be better to scrap it. if i didn't care about mayu (who is actually my third favorite character in the game) i wouldn't have asked for help the main problem i am having writing for mayu is that she relies heavily on emotions and i don't have them.

Man. People so rarely admit faults, I barely know what to say! Thank you, you're being very mature, and it's nice of you to pay attention to me.

This raised my spirits! Happy Apocalypse, everyone! And may you live to see Christmas! Or Hanukah. Or that was before? Monotheism, I don't know shit about it. Damn, Happy Holidays! Something!

I don't think so. But, maybe one of the questions should shed some light on this.

That being said, I have two questions for you: Where do you see Mayu's intelligence?


Below average, for sure. For full disclosure, Ruri doesn't fair too much better than Mayu in this department.

Would Ruri have suggested the underwear to stop Yoko from doing something even meaner?


If anything, she would try, along with Izumi, to diffuse Mayu's anger. That's priority number 1. If they learn that Yoko has something "interesting" planned for the perpetrators of the "Mayu lunchbox incident" (Yes, it has a name now!), and they probably have heard rumors about what she has done, they might actually try and diffuse Yoko as well. Making suggestions to Yoko about what she could do doesn't really sound like "diffusion" to me. In fact, would in not make matters worse? I dunno. Maybe I'm thinking too far ahead again.
@marrend ok i will start on part three of the mayu lunchbox incident. When done if it ties up all loose ends and you approve, i will move onto the next arc. If not i will try one more time to make appropriate changes, then scrap the whole arc and try something else with the rest of the Uchioniko clan.

@dozen i apoligise i really saw mayu as about average intelligence and on par with the player

We're going to get a d20 character sheet roundup eventually. And by get I mean 'I'm going to sit down and deduct everyone's stats like the nerd I am.' Suppository! And it would be useful too, apparently.
Here are all three stories together i hope this all fits together if i leave any questions unanswered please feel free to ask and i will have masako ask and yoko answer

A lot of things are puzzeling me about this incident. Why didn't you go to the teachers first.
ID = 26
I gave ruri all the evidence we had gathered and told her to take them to the teachers but they all refused to even look at it. So I had her take it to Izumi and Mayu who were still being detained by the teachers for Mayu's outburst.
ID = 10
I see, nice gambit check in three moves. How did you change the boys' clothes without being anywhere near them?
ID = 26
That was easy a few weeks ago I invented a machine that would change my clothes but I didn't want to test it out on my self so I used them as guinea pigs.
ID = 10
Interesting. Witnesses overheard you saying ruri came up with the underwear idea is that true?

Why didn't Ruri try to keep you calm?

That's simple I was calm all she could do was try to negate as much damage as possible which she did. Checkmate.
ID = 10
You're saying you weren't upset that you were being framed?
ID = 26
No the teachers hate me anyway.
ID = 10
How much damage was Ruri able to negate?
ID = 26
Besides the tattoos? Alot, I was going to drill holes into the bats and pay students to spank them. Check
ID = 10
Mate in three. Why did you turn yourself in?
ID = 26
I had left too much evidence, my machines, my bats, witnesses, and last but not least motive. Check.
ID = 10
Why did you involve Ruri why not send her away.
ID = 26
Maybe I wanted someone I felt I could frame or maybe her child like personality made it hard for me to say no. I don't really know myself. Check

I'm mostly looking at the second and last sequence, here, so bear with me on this.

ID = 12
NEUTRAL
How could we not be?! Did you see that path of chaos you caused?!
Maybe....
ID = 12
NEUTRAL
I guess so.

Reasoning: With how I'm reading things, she didn't actually cause any damage. So, she's looking at this situation, and thinking "Lame".

ID = 12
Do I sound like that when I go off?
I'm thinking...
ID = 12
UNFRIENDLY
You think there would be anything <b>left</b> after I'm through with 'em?

Reasoning: This is Mayu, at the core. Also, as discussed earlier, messing with Shoko is an action that makes all the members of Uchioniko angry. Even Ruri! So, while Mayu might not totally realize this, Ruri and Izumi would totally be right behind her.

ID = 14
LIKE
Thanks but you really shouldn't experiment on your friends especially if you consider what you did to those boys an experiment.
Perhaps something like...
ID = 14
NEUTRAL
You know, Yoko, the reason you were implicated in the first place is <b>because</b> of your experiments! You might already know this, but, it's something to think about for next time.

Reasoning: Okay, so they didn't stop Yoko from experimenting. And, as it turns out, the punishment for her experiment is "merely" detention. Izumi might figure that the probability of Yoko continuing her behavior is quite high. Thus, this friendly warning.

ID = 12
Join us for a snack after school.
This is totally...
ID = 11
Hey, join us for a snack later, 'kay?

Reasoning: Being friendly is totally Ruri's department, not Mayu's.

ID = 12
NEUTRAL
She's strange.
This is mostly fine, but to have more Mayu for your money, the line would be...
ID = 12
NEUTRAL
Weird girl.
... or Dozen's suggestion....
ID = 12
NEUTRAL
Weirdo.

Reasoning: This is a totally optional edit, but, as stated before, this "sounds" more like Mayu.


My initial grievance with the Masako sequence is that she would very probably know that Yoko has detention. So, for me, it would make more sense if she just up and appeared at the detention hall. So, I would think it would be more like...
ID = Teacher
Masako, why are you here?
ID = 10
I wish to ask Tanaka a few questions, if I may.
ID = Teacher
I suppose that's all right.
ID = 10
Thank you.

Then she can start talking about the lunchbox scenario! I imagining:
ID = 10
Do you mind if I ask you questions about this... lunchbox incident?
ID = 26
Do you mind if I don't answer?
ID = 10
Forgive me. I had thought that giving you this opportunity to explain your actions would prove more stimulating than merely sitting idly.
ID = 26
Hrmm... Well, there's a chessboard. Why don't we make a game of it? You may ask your question while it's your turn. I answer during my turn. To make it more interesting, we make the turns timed. Whoever goes over the time limit automatically looses.
ID = 10
UNFRIENDLY
That is all this is to you, is it not? A game?

Er, I'm going to stop right there, since I think I might be overdoing it a little bit!


*Edit:
Reasoning: With how I'm reading things, she didn't actually cause any damage. So, she's looking at this situation, and thinking "Lame".

I was hammered on this before, so I might want to re-consider this. As I recall, the students were found hanging upside-down, in female uniforms, with underwear that says "Spank me, please!" Now, maybe they were found unconscious in this fashion. If so, it could be that Mayu was allowed to beat on them a bit before Yoko got to them. The story does not mention that the bodies looked like they were beaten, however. In that light, it might also be an after-effect of Yoko's clothing-change invention, but I'm not really 100% certain of this.
I made all those changes and more to make the changes fit

I see nice gambit check in three moves. How did you change the boys' clothes without being anywhere near them?
How about...
ID = 10
I see. Quite the gambit check you've set up in three moves. In any event, how was it that the clothing of the male students involved was changed? I understand that you were not near them, so it is a rather odd point about this whole affair.

Reasoning: I don't see Masako using the term "boy" ever. This, however, is more like how she might talk.

Interesting. Witnesses overheard you saying Ruri came up with the underwear idea is that true?
Allow me to suggest....
ID = 10
Interesting. Witnesses overheard you saying that Momotami came up with this underwear idea. Would there by any truth to that?

Reasoning: The only reason she uses the player's first name is because of the <player> reference, and his family name is undefined. For everyone else, she strictly uses family names. On a side-note, I don't like "underwear". It just doesn't sound like a word Masako would actually use. Like, I dunno, it's below her (No pun intended). Or something. Might have to check out a thesaurus to see if there is a term that sounds like something she would say.

There are other lines in that BRANCH that I would suggest very similar changes for, and have very similar reasoning for the suggested changes.
Edit how is this then

Interesting. Witnesses overheard you saying that the matter of the undergarments was Momotami's idea. Would there by any truth to that?


Reasoning: With the second suggestion, I took a look at a thesaurus, and thought that "undergarments" might be something Masako could use over "underwear". I dunno. I guess that's up in the air. Anyway, the first suggestion might be okay, but the second suggestion definitely sounds more like the Masako I know. Otherwise, this sequence gets my stamp of approval!
Marrend, Shiftin'! I've finished Fran's route again! I have to say, I'm quite impressed! Tsubasa act a lot more like herself, and the story has accuracy to it(you used the word 'dreamscape', too!:D How did Fran ever learned it is beyond me, but hey.). Still, we have a lot work to do!*determined*

As you said, there is no emotional connection to speak of, not yet. Luckily for us, you ignored certain parts of the story I proposed before.(Yes, that's lucky, as you are because I noticed, Marrend-.-)It opens up more possibilities. But more on that later! I think we better go for a step by step approach, so you will read everything. The first thing we need to take care of is the woes of our ghostie, or rather the lack of them.

Fran, when not struggling to keep her "body" in the material realm to take a few bites, in stuck in a place the size of a bedroom, completely alone save for some idiots who shrugged her off as a dream, for who knows how long, has no idea how or why she got there to begin with, and all ill she appears to feel towards her state is annoyance. It's not as bad as before, but even so, she doesn't seem to care for it most of the time. The player saving her now pits him with about as much graditude as if he squished a bug that happened to bother her for months. For most people, that's hardly how it works. She should be desperate for contact and answers by now,(assuming she hasn't gone barking mad before the two met) and it should show, so Fran has a reason to like the Player more over it. Fair enough?

P.S.: Don't write events after the last one just yet.

With Fran, the only thing I might want to re-write is allowing a "Suggest Tsubasa" option when the time comes to free Fran. Right now, the only way the "Tsuabsa path" opens is if the player has less than 10 MIND. Which seems so improbable to me that there might not be a reliable way to test that path, outside of Story Test. Which essentially translates to "might as well not exist".

Other than this, the only plan I have with Fran is that the player can still get an ending with her, regardless of which path the player is on. What kind of ending, and how Fran reacts to the player, would inevitably be linked to who it was that underwent the ritual (At the loss of a better terminology to use).

I don't think mentally challenged is the correct term to use and it sounds a little insensitive to use it like that, truthfully. You might say different or weird or troublesome instead?
And here you go, breaking your own aesop... Dissapointing. Nekochi, while I don't hold the right to refer to my kin as I feel like it, don't you think I might have a better idea what 'different' people consider offensive and what not? But since you could use a real expanation, there you have one!
In my earlier years especially, but also these days on the occasion, I'm escorted to places I'm going to show up at a regular basis by a friend or a family member who tell those in charge of my condition. For a long time - totally disregarding what I asked them to do, by the way - they too avoided 'insensitive terms' in order to 'protect my feelings'. Nevermind I know exactly what they mean by what they dressed up to make it resemble a compliment, or that I'm reminded of my condition in every wake moment anyway no matter what. What they didn't realize on their own was that, if you downplay a madman's condition, others will think he's less of a madman.
By beating around the bush(which you dislike yourself, if I recall Junko's route correctly and I may dare to assume the same of you) and referring to me as 'troubled', 'different', 'special' and a lot of other words that make me vomit by now, instead of just flat out telling them 'he's hyperactive and histrionic', 'mentally challenged' or just plainly 'insane', people thought of me as an eccentric loner or a sensitive artist at worst, not the primodial chaos shaped into human form that Cluster B Personality Disorders produce. And that of course ended with me being thrown out or rejected in short notice every single time. You try hearing 'get out of here, you retard', 'go hole up in a crazy ward, fuckwad' 'look at the weirdo, he's so funny' and other real, meant insults every day of your life because of those who were supposed to help you, and we'll see what you consider insensitive. All of this can be avoided by people paying more attention to usor being told to leave in peace before it happens, not by defending our mental well-being from nonexistent blows.
After a long struggle I managed to blew their little bubble of conformity by making them realize a word does not become bad by having a use as a derogatory term - That makes as much sense if black people called each other nigger or something and some idiots thought they have self-hatred issues. We're all mature enough here to not hurt each other with swear words, we can all look up the definition of 'mentally challenged' if we want to, I very well know it fits all three of those girls and consider it degrading to my intelligence when you suggest otherwise. I'm sorry, but their hardships and suffering won't get any better if bury your head in the sand and act like it's not as bad as it looks. Keika's not sane, Kyouki's definitely not sane, and without the player's help, Junko is on the way of permanently becoming the worst of them with the stress she's under before psychs could cry 'Remote Schizoid P.D.' in unison. And they need actual help, not baby cuddle and ignorance.

I'm sorry if I offended you, but you're wrong in thinking that my idea of what terminology is offensive is coming from someone who has no experience with that sort of thing. My brother has Asperger's Syndrome, a high functioning form of autism, and I myself deal with depression and have struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder. I say that mentally challenged is offensive because it suggests that someone is somehow less of a person if they have some sort of mental illness, when what it is is an illness, something they can't help. That's not to say that it doesn't need treatment, my brother would doubtless be locked up or have killed someone by now if he hadn't had treatment, but I don't think that saying someone is "insane" helps things. I have the same reaction to that word that you do to the other terms you listed. It is an ugly, ugly word that connects people with mental disabilities with fear and the idea of danger. I worry all the time that people are going to see that my brother is different or he's going to say something in a fit of rage that gets him locked up for a long, long time or gets him shot or that because the recent shootings were done by someone who was mentally ill, it's going to change the way people view him and make his life harder. So I have an investment in this terminology too and I'm not just running at the mouth. Just because you don't find terms like mentally challenged to be offensive doesn't mean that's true of everyone who is "mentally challenged."

My objection to the term is not completely to the term itself, but to how you're using it. I don't know about Kyouki, but Keika and Junko definitely are not mentally challenged. Keika is a little spacey and she might have ADD, but that does not make someone mentally challenged. Junko is a slightly more difficult case, as she definitely has some problems in how she's dealing with her mother leaving, but she's not what I'd classify as mentally ill or "insane." I think of mentally challenged as referring to something more permanent and built in, such as autism (and even then I'd use mentally ill over mentally challenged, since mentally challenged strikes me as being too close to calling someone an idiot), something you were born with and that you'll always have to deal with and which affects your life in a major way. I might say that Junko has a mental disorder, or something that came about later and can be cured. My brother has a mental illness because Asperger's is something he's going to have to live with for his entire life which can't be cured, but can be treated. My PTSD was a mental disorder because it was something that I am mostly "cured" of.

That said, I hope you aren't offended by anything I said. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit ticked that you went off on me like that for making a mild suggestion and called me a hypocrite and just assumed that I have less experience with mental illness than you, but I don't want things to be awkward between us, since I'm sure neither of us meant to offend. However, in the future, I would appreciate if you would think a little more carefully before posting because there have been a couple of times that you have overreacted to things people have said and possibly hurt some feelings. I didn't want to say anything before because I don't like to say things that I know will probably be taken the wrong way, but I think I have the right to defend myself, especially when it's an issue I feel this strongly about.

@triad2
I'll get to that Junko event in just a minute.
Here's the edited Junko event. I changed a lot of the Junko lines to sound more like her. Also, I changed it so that she knew a bit about what she had to do before she agreed, since she wouldn't agree to do something without knowing what it was, even to increase her running time. Also, I fixed some punctuation and added one more Yoko line, so that Junko would at least try to deny the claims before asking Yoko how she knew.
