Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Hideaki- A Tale of Manlin

I know people like ProfA are better at detailed dissection and discussion. What follows is thus only a summary from reading about two-thirds of the material. Played for laughs, it's fine. But I'm not sure it's the right Hideaki, psychologically. That's something hard to put my finger on because alth...

Re: Shizune's Mum

Either I stayed with her, or she went to live with an ailing grandmother and grandfather. Something tells me it ain't Mrs. Satou's parents that are ailing in Japan, given that she's Scottish. So then it's Hiroyuki Satou's, and by extension, Mayoi Hakamichi's parents. On re-read, you have a point. T...

Re: Shizune's Mum

I don't have an extremely high opinion of Jigoro, but I think even he wouldn't be nasty enough to deny his own children a chance to see a mom who seems, at the moment Lilly and Akira are asked to come over, to be either terminal or close to it. (not to mention that Shizune is an adult already and J...

Re: Obviously the game won't ever have VA, buuuut...

(By the way, is it weird that the more I think about it the more I think Scarlett Johansson would make a good voice actress for Rin? I think she has that slightly monotonal bored quality that Rin needs) That is an amazingly good call. Not to mention the ability she has to act as if her brain is non...

Re: After the Dream—Rin's Arc (Part 4 up 20140402)

I'm loving the Rin arc, as bittersweet as it is. For that matter, I also loved the Hanako arc, although I didn't say anything in that thread. Why is there so much crying? Hisao is gone. Nothing’s going to bring him back. I’m not okay. I’m all wrong. But it feels good to sit without saying anything ...

Re: Easiest/Most Difficult Routes? (SPOILERS EVERYWHERE)

The thing is, people get "confused" because that's not what comforting means. Many people do not equate "comforting" with "let's get busy". "Kicking the bucket" doesn't literally mean dying either but most people understand the subtext. :lol: Plus, again, the whole thing where she's throwing hersel...

AtD—Rin's Arc (Part 4 up 20140402)

This is the fourth part of Rin's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. It takes place in 2024, the one year in which almost all the arcs collide. Rin 4: Grendel (T -0) I can see the end coming already. Every day when Meiko looks after the children and I leave them to go to His...

Re: Shizune's Mum

I don't really have an alternative, but I kind of doubt that one since Lilly and Akira are summoned there (despite Lilly commenting she barely even knows that aunt and can't even remember her voice) while Shizune and Hideaki aren't. The more logical conclusion I'd come to would be that that aunt is...

AtD—Rin One-Shot for 20140401

I've decided to post the 01 April 2014 Rin One-Shot here. I must stress that while it can be made to fit in the 'After the Dream' continuity, it doesn't really. It's perhaps a glimpse into an alternate version much inspired by Philip K Dick and Joe Haldeman. Enjoy. ===== Rin (Alternative Version): ...

Re: AtD—Rin's Arc (Part 3 up 20140402)

“Yesss. We shared the loft. Girls don’t have those kinds of benefits, but Miki was nice to me. She has one good hand.” Huh. I'll note that I'm personally of the belief that Rin is genderfluid and pansexual, for what it's worth. She seems to be OK with female pronouns being used, but she has trouble...

Only time will tell. :)
Note to self: When confronting Rin, always bring an Emi.
With friends like these, who needs an Emi? :)

AtD—Rin's Arc (Part 3 up 20140402)

This is the third part of Rin's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. It begins in 2017 and ends in 2020. Rin 3: Blossoms (T -7) It’s good to have friends. I have been living with Emi and Hisao for a year now, at the Yamaku staff quarters in Sendai. No more friends in Tokyo, s...
