Homura route, chapter 2: The Winds of the King 8/22: Homura at the beach  Dammit, Homura, why the   Homura: Let's race out to that island. Option 1: Whaaaat? It's so far away, I don't wanna. Option 2: We need to stretch first. Option 3: You got yourself a race!  Goon: You got yourself a race! Homura: Sweet! We'll start when the third wave hits. Goon: (I made a great impression!) 8/28: Fireworks with Homura  Goon: Hello, is this the Akai residence? Homura: Yup, it is. Goon: Oh, hi, Akai-san, it's Fudou-- Homura: Yo, what's up? Homura: I'm eating right now, so keep it short if you can. Goon: Let's go watch the fireworks! Homura: Yeah, sure. Where should I meet you? Goon: Let's meet at the riverside park.  Homura: Fireworks shows are one of the most fun things about summer. Homura: Today's gonna be a ton of fun. Goon: (Homura's really intense right now.) Goon: Hey, it's gonna start soon.   Homura: Japanese fireworks are the best, aren't they? Homura: No wonder they're world-famous. Option 1: I especially love the #4 firework. Option 2: Want me to take a picture for you? Option 3: Yeah, it's awesome. For more information on the Japanese system of classifying fireworks, refer to this handy chart. It shows explosion size and minimum safe height/distance of each firework - the #4 firework has one of the best distance-to-explosion-size ratios in the classification system, exploding safely at 160 meters and having a 60m radius on its explosion.  Anyway, back to the LP.  Goon: Yeah, it's awesome. Homura: You think so too? I'm glad someone understands. Goon: (I made a great impression!) 9/12: Answer me, Goonmon!  Goon: (Did I get here too early? Akai-san isn't here yet.)  Homura: Where are you looking? I'm up here! Homura: Right up here. Goon: Master! Homura: Answer me, Goon! Homura: The school of the Undefeated of the East! Goon: The winds of the king! Homura: Zenshin! Goon: Keiretsu! Goon/Homura: Tenpa Kyoran! Goon/Homura: Look! The east is burning red! Homura: How've you been, Goon... or rather, the man I acknowledge as the King of Hearts? This is not actually the dialogue here. But it should be.  Goon: This aquarium is getting pretty famous. Homura: Yeah? That means there's something fun here, right? Let's check it out.  Homura: Whoa, it's a school of tuna! Awesome! Option 1: It's a magnificent sight, isn't it? Option 2: They look like they'd be delicious as sashimi with a little soy sauce. Option 3: Tuna have to keep swimming or they'll die. This is Homura we're talking about, so we can finally choose the food option.  Goon: They look like they'd be delicious as sashimi with a little soy sauce. Homura: I was thinking the same thing! Man, they look tasty. 10/5: The second progress marker  These are the possible ways to address Homura:
Homura is the only person in the game who has a special event if she doesn't like what you call her, so for once there's an actual purpose to the names she hates (which, for the record, are anything that end in -chan). She should be friendly enough to allow us to call her by her first name, so we're going to let this one stick for a while.  Goon: Homura! Homura: Yo! 'Sup? Goon: Want to walk home together? Homura: Sure, let's head somewhere. Homura: Ooh, I know, let's go eat. Your treat, of course. Goon: Uh, okay. Let's go. Before I forget, Homura has started hanging out with Goon on his leisure activities - this is how they animate her for the rare days she actually attends student council meetings (and lets Goon do all the work):   This is for regular hanging out while Goon studies/looks good/whatever.   10/22: Bakuretsuzan and Homura, birds of a feather This is copied and pasted from the Akane route, chapter 6, with a small change because Goon calls her Homura and not Akai-san in this run. Notably, seeing this in the first year is a good sign, but it also locks out the event where she walks into the Bakuretsuzan's office and tells him she wants to play a game. You'll have to go back to the Maho route for that one.  Bakuretsuzan: To all students! Bakuretsuzan: This is a bit abrupt, but I have accepted a proposal from the student council and will be cancelling classes this afternoon in favor of a major cleanup project! Goon: A proposal from the student council? What? Bakuretsuzan: I would especially like those of you in charge of the grounds to be very thorough and rake up all of the leaves. Bakuretsuzan: That's all - I'm leaving this in your capable hands!  Goon: There weren't many leaves in my area, so that ended up being pretty easy. Homura: Hey, no fair! I claimed that one! Bakuretsuzan: Don't make such a fuss, there are plenty more. Goon: Is that Homura? What's she doing? Goon: Sounds like she's behind the gym. Homura: drat, we'll have to wait so long for them to finish 'cuz we don't have enough fuel. Goon: Hey, Homura, what're you do--  Homura: Wha? What're you doing here? Goon: ... Goon: Did you really call for us to clean up the school so you could do this?  Homura: N, no, this was just a nice little bonus. Right, Kazumi-chan? Bakuretsuzan: Yes, you must not waste all of the resources at your disposal. Goon: You're pretty unconvincing with your hands full of roasted sweet potatoes. 10/26: Goon's birthday  Homura: Gunma. Goon: Hey, Homura. Homura: Here, take this. It's your birthday present. Goon: (What? Homura gave me a present?)  Homura: Geez, sorry for doing something that makes you this nervous. Homura: If you don't want it, just give it back! Goon: No, no, I'm happy. I really am thankful for this. 10/31: Hiking with Homura  Goon: The weather's perfect today, Homura. Isn't that great? Homura: Yeah, it's a bolt out of the blue. Homura: Just like it should be! We're gonna have lots of fun today. Goon: (A bolt out of the blue?) Homura: What're you doing? Let's go. Homura: If you're just gonna stand around, I'm gonna leave you behind. Goon: O--okay. Goon: (A bolt out of the blue?) Homura pretty much throws out a saying that includes "blue sky" in it, without actually thinking about what it means.  Homura: Looking at the fall leaves makes me want to eat manju. I'm really hungry... Option 1: I actually brought some with me. I made some tea, too. Option 2: Could you stop talking about food for once? Option 3: There's a little shop up ahead that sells some.  Goon: I actually brought some with me. I made some tea, too. Homura: Awesome! It's always the right call to bring an underling with you. Goon: (I made a great impression!) 11/3: The school festival  Goon: What should I do? Should I invite someone to come with me? Goon: I should invite Homura. Goon: (Is she around anywhere?)  Goon: Hey, Homura! Homura: Hmm? Sup? Goon: Do you want to look at everything with me? Homura: Sure. It's boring to walk around alone, so I might as well go with you. Goon: Then let's go. Goon: (Where should we go?) If you remember the Maho run, there is an incredibly obvious choice that Homura will love.  Goon: Let's go watch the drama club. Homura: What're they doing? Goon: I heard it's going to be a period piece.  Homura: Wow, that's super exciting! Homura: Let's hurry so we can get good seats! This portion is copied and pasted from the Maho route.  And now, the Hibikino High School Drama Club presents... A period drama: Lone Fox and Cub  "Today, Ogami Nito continues on his road to hell."  "Ogami Nito, I stand before you." "Prepare yourself."  "..."  "Prepare yourself."  "..."  "Prepare yourself!"  "..."  "Prepare yourself!"  "..."  "PREPARE YOURSELF!!"  "Daijiro!" "(baby noises)!"  And so, Ogami Nito continued on his road to hell.  The end.  Homura: Wow, that was fun. Homura: Period flicks are all about the swordplay, don't you think? Goon: Yeah, it's really satisfying to watch the bad guys get killed. Homura: Next time someone doesn't listen to the student council, what do you say we just cut him in half? Goon: (I'm a little scared that she might actually try that.)  Goon: So, how was the school festival? Homura: It was as great as I was expecting. Homura: Every school festival should be just like a real festival, you know? Goon: (It was definitely fun.) 11/24: Akane shows up  It's incredibly easy to avoid Akane on a Homura run, but it just doesn't feel right without her. Besides, I have a plan. 12/6-12/10: Midterms  72nd: Fudou Gunma 75th: Sakaki Takumi 85th: Hokari Jun'ichirou 92nd: Hinomoto Hikari 130th: Minazuki Kotoko 217th: Sakura Kaedeko 219th: Kotobuki Miyuki 246th: Akai Homura 257th: Ichimonji Akane Boy, that's a lot of girl's names. I sure hope this doesn't come back to bite our Goon! 12/12: Skating with Homura  Apparently, Homura shops at the army surplus store when she is not cosplaying.  Homura: You invited me out here, so that means you can skate, right? Option 1: I can skate like a pro. Option 2: I can skate alright. Option 3: I can't skate at all.  Goon: I can skate alright. Homura: As long as you can skate, that's enough. Homura: So, you wanna race? Goon: (I made a pretty good impression.) 12/22: Specifically avoid Kaori  On at least 3 different occasions during this run, Goon has the option of meeting Kaori due to his high Sports stat, and declines. It's unusually kind of the game to offer the choice. 12/24: Takumi's double date  One thing about Homura's run is that Christmases don't really factor in - she's not there for the first year, so I'm not going to bother re-translating what I've had in the previous 2 runs. 1/1: New Year's! Goon: Here's Hikari's card. Yeah, I agree, it'd been seven years since we last met.  Happy New Year! Last year was truly memorable because I was reunited with you. Let's have a great year this year, too. Hikari Goon: This is Homura's. How do I say it... it's very her. And what's with the drill?  Happy New Year! Have a good time. The drill is helpfully labeled "drill" and comes with a "bam!" sound effect. Goon: Here's Takumi's card. It kinda feels like lip service.  Happy 2000. Let's be nice to each other. Thanks. 2000.1.1 Sakaki Takumi Goon: Here's Jun's card. It's a pretty curt greeting, but that's just like him.  Happy new year. Let's have a good year. First day of Heisei 12 Hokari Jun'ichirou  What, you expected Homura to wear something fancy on New Year's Day?  Another fun thing about doing a Homura run is that there is absolutely no need to raise your academics - so, you might as well wish for health because there's nothing else useful.  Homura: While we're here, why don't we pull our fortunes? Goon: Let's do it.  Homura: That's the spirit. Homura: Try not to be too shocked by my skills. Goon: (Skills?)  Goon: Let's see, my fortune for the year is... Goon: Suekichi, good fortune ahead. Goon: How did Homura's turn out?  Homura: Did you get daikichi? Goon: See for yourself. What about you, Homura? Homura: I got daikichi, of course. There's no other option for me. Homura: Well, there's a little trick I have to it. Goon: I, I see. Goon: (You mean there's a trick to getting fortunes and it's not just luck?)  Homura: Today was fun. If there's another good excuse to come back, we should do this again. Goon: Yeah, and if one doesn't come up, we should just make one up and come anyway. Homura: Hahaha, if we're just gonna make something up, let's make it something fun. Goon: ("Something fun?" That's pretty much what I'd expect her to say.) 1/13: The "see the girl in gym clothes" segment  Goon: (Hmm? Is that Homura over there?) Goon: Hey, Homura! Homura: Gunma! Homura: We have gym class next period. Goon: Sure looks like it. Goon: (She seems pretty happy about it.) Homura: Alright, time for me to run wild. Later. Goon: (It's gym class. I hope she's not mistaking it for martial arts or something.) 1/23: Homura vs. Romance  Goon: This theater's playing The Love Story on the Sunken Ship. Homura: I don't know that one. Is it good? Goon: The trailer I saw on TV was good. Homura: If it seems good, that's good enough for me.  Quick reminder: this is totally not Titanic that Homura and Goon are watching.  Goon: That movie wasn't bad. Homura: I hated it. Goon: (I didn't make a very good impression.) 2/14: Valentine's day, Troll Edition  Homura: Goon. Goon: Hey, Homura. Homura: Here you go. Goon: Wait, really? Thanks! Goon: (Awesome! Hey, wait a second--)  Homura: Nyahahaha, I guess you noticed. Don't worry about it. Later! Goon: Come back here, you jerk! Goon: (It's just a wrapper with nothing in it. Seriously?) That's right. Homura ate it and gave just the box to Goon. Whattagal, right? Next time: Is it a bear? Oh boy oh boy

I wanna say that the drill of hers is a super robot thing. My mind immediately goes to Gurren Lagann, but I know that both this game vastly predates it and that Gurren Lagann took a lot from older super robot series, which I admittedly haven't seen a lot of outside GL because I'm a poser. Maybe Getter? Fake Edit: Yeah, probably, because Shin Getter Robo has a drill.

Maybe Getter? Her theme song borrows a lot of notes from the Getter Robo theme, and sounds suspiciously like the Banpresto logo, which draws from those exact same inspirations.

Maybe Getter? All Getter-2 have a drill. Homura seems to basically be a love letter to everything I enjoy (Kamen Rider, mecha anime and school laziness!) and I'm enjoying the hell out of her. I'm so glad she won the vote this time. And since I seem to have to link G Gundam in every post I make, might as well link to the dialogue that should've happened in-game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AwV3o0nAYk (actual dialogue starts at 2:47) Blaze Dragon fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Dec 5, 2014 |

I'm sad that Girl's Side doesn't give you a rundown on the other people you met. Shiki probably went to France on an art scholarship or something. Wataru attracted the attention of a young girl on the swim team but never really noticed her, AND THE CYCLE CONTINUES. Homura is amazing. I hope we get to visit the orchard at some point.

Homura route, chapter 3: King in the North 2/20: To the circus!  Goon: The circus is really exciting, isn't it? Homura: Yeah. I haven't been able to think of anything but the circus since last night. Goon: Your mind was in another place, huh?  Goon: Hey! Wait up, Homura! Goon: (And now, her body is in another place too.)  Homura: Whoa! Awwwwesome, what did she do?! Homura: DO IT AGAIN! PLEEEEASE! Option 1: I know what she did! Option 2: Yeah! Do it again! Option 3: Swapping places in mid-air like that was amazing! The only reason I know the gender of the trapeze artist is because she's one of the secret characters.  Goon: Swapping places in mid-air like that was amazing! Homura: It's awesome! Did you see what she did on the trapeze? Tell me what happened! Goon: (I made a great impression!) 3/3: What a man Almost every character in the game carries an umbrella with them on rainy days.  Homura does not. Otherwise, this event doesn't change at all from the usual "let's walk home" event. 3/6-3/10: Finals I'm not going to bother with grades, since everyone's pretty much the same as last time. 3/11: Sinking ships with Hikari It's been almost a full year, so it's about time to stop ignoring Hikari and start maintaining proper maintenance of Goon's friend zone. First stop: Titanic.   Goon: That movie was great! Hikari: Yeah! That was the greatest movie! Hikari: It's been a long time since I was this excited! This is going to be the last we see of Hikari for about a year and a half. This time, I took the mean way out of Hikari's bomb cycle, calling her on dates for the 3rd Sunday of every month when she has mandatory track and field practice. 3/14: White day  Goon: Hey, Homura! Homura: Hmm? 'Sup? Goon: Here, Homura, this is my payback for what you did on Valentine's Day.  Homura: Nyahahaha! Thanks! I'll gladly eat this whole thing. Goon: O--okay. Goon: (I don't know how to react to her just taking that at face value.) 3/26: Like water off a duck's back  Still no umbrella. Just a tie-dye bandana. Homura: So, what're we doing here? Goon: I haven't decided yet. I figure we'll just see what there is around here that's fun. Goon: That a bad plan? Homura: Not really, but just remember--anything is fine but taking a walk. Goon: Got it. Let's head over to the lake.  Homura: Whoa, look at the ducks, look at the ducks! Homura: They're swimming with their ducklings. Homura: They look delicious. Option 1: You seem hungry. Option 2: Wanna get something to eat? Option 3: One of those ducklings will turn into a swan.  Goon: Wanna get something to eat? Homura: Nice timing, I'm hungry too. Let's find somewhere to eat. Goon: (I made a pretty good impression.) 4/5: Enter the nemesis Mei's entrance is unchanged from before, but given her status as Homura's eternal rival, she merits the full paste. I happen to like this scene a lot.  Goon: What's going on? There's some kind of commotion over by the school grounds. Goon: I guess I'll check it out.  Mei: This is a stupendously lowly school. Man in black: My deepest apologies, Mei-sama. Mei: It will suffice. Goon: (Ugh, she comes to school in a helicopter? And that - that's the Ijuuin family's crest.) Goon: (Which means that girl is the daughter of the Ijuuins?) Goon: (Why's she at Hibikino? No, I shouldn't ask. Like they say, "the god you don't touch won't curse you"  Mei: Hey, rear end in a top hat. Mei: Are you listening? Goon: Huh? Me? Mei: Yes, you. You're just the person for the job. Mei: You will guide Mei to the principal's office. Goon: Wh, what do you mean? Mei: While you're at it, you will carry Mei's backpack. Mei: You should feel honored that you are deemed worthy of this privilege. Goon: Why do I have to--  Goon: I ACCEPT THIS HONOR GIVE ME THE BAG Homura and Mei get along like cats and dogs, but you don't see much of that in Tokimemo 2 proper. Mei and Homura have a shouting match at graduation, and Mei takes a shot at Homura in her "My brother is my sister" gag event. But most of their rivalry takes place off-screen and in the supplemental material. A couple of notes about the two of them, though. One, Homura calls Mei "squirt" as her go-to insult. And she has a point - Mei is 149cm tall, making her a shade under 4'11. However, Homura is also 149cm tall, so Mei really doesn't have to take that from her. Two, Homura was voted 4th in the character popularity poll, barely squeaking past Mei, who was 5th. Mei fans were crushed when that happened. And, because Mei barely shows up for the rest of this run, here's some Leaping School Festival promo art.  Back to the LP!  Akane: Hey! Goon: Hi, Ichimonji-san. Akane: Looks like we're in the same class. Goon: Yeah, guess so. Akane: Anyway, let's make it a nice year, okay? It only seems appropriate that we match Jun with Akane in this run, to swap from the previous run. 4/9: Homura and the rites of spring  Homura: Wooo, it's spring! Homura: It kinda makes me wanna sing, you know? ♪Hmm-hmm hm-hmmmm♪ Goon: (She really did it.) Homura: Hey, while we're here, let's go see the cherry blossoms. Homura: ♪Hmm-hmm-hmmmm, hmm-hmmm-hmmmm♪ Goon: O, okay. Goon: (Geez, she's still singing.)  Homura: Whoa, the flower petals are so pretty when they're dancing. Option 1: I got some in my mouth. Option 2: Yeah, they really are beautiful. Option 3: Do you want to walk in that? Everyone else so far has wanted the "yes, they are beautiful" answer. Can you guess what Homura likes?  Goon: I got some in my mouth. Homura: Nyahahaha, it's because your mouth's wide open. Homura: Ack! I got some in my mouth too. Homura: Nyahahaha! Goon: (I made a great impression!) 5/3: The inevitable Homura/Home Run pun  Goon: They're playing baseball here today. I got us pretty good seats! Homura: I don't really know much about baseball, so good seats are kinda wasted on me.  Homura: Why's this crowd so worked up? What's going on? Option 1: YOU IDIOT, HOW COULD YOU LET STRIKE THREE GET PAST YOU? Option 2: Huh? What? I can't hear you, Homura! Option 3: Today's a gold card, they can't help but be excited. In this context, a gold card is like the top billing of a fight card, or a marquee matchup. My hands are tied on translating it because of the next line, though.  Goon: Today's a gold card, they can't help but be excited. Homura: A gold card? What's that? Is that the kind of card that comes with free candy or something?! Goon: (Eh.) Alright, so Homura doesn't get baseball. They can't all be perfect! 5/8: Jun's call to wingmanhood  As a reminder, the sequence of events here is: because Akane likes Goon the least out of all the female cast, she ends up in Goon/Jun/Takumi's class in year 2. This makes her the target of Jun's affections, which he's too innocent and naive to act on without outside help. Hikari and Goon to the rescue!  This goes exactly the same as every other incidence of the Jun 'n' Goon plus Hikari 'n' X double date, but with Akane instead of Homura or Kotoko. Good luck, Jun. 6/2: This makes it all worth it  Goon: I'll join the three-legged race. Takumi: Yo. Goon: Yo, Takumi. What're you doing here? Takumi: Do you have a partner for the three-legged race yet? Goon: No, not yet.  Takumi: How lucky! Team up with me. Takumi: If you teamed up with a certain special girl, I'd get sooooo jealous. Goon: Well, I guess that's fine by me. Takumi: Alright, let's go show off to all the girls! Goon: Alright!  This is, without a doubt, the best thing that has happened in my entire time playing Tokimemo 2. For proper enjoyment of this moment, I have created a highlight on my Twitch channel (Thanks, Alpha3KV!) as well as posted the same highlight to Youtube. Twitch: twitch.tv/vibratingsheep/v/3597013 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWUQHZkUXx8  Homura: Not bad, slacker. You were holding back this entire time, weren't you? Goon: N, no way, I never did that. Goon: (She's praising me, right? I'm glad I worked so hard for that.) 6/25: Hikari's birthday  Some day, Hikari. Some day you'll have your time in the limelight. 7/15: Back to the beach  Homura: Man, I'm tired. But it's boring just to sit around and do nothing. Homura: Wanna make a sand castle or something? Option 1: Yeah, I'm fine with that. But you sure are tough, Homura. Option 2: Before we start, I'll get us some drinks. Option 3: Can we please relax even a little bit when we're taking a break?  Goon: Yeah, I'm fine with that. But you sure are tough, Homura. Homura: Nyahahaha, not at all, not at all. Homura: That swim really took a lot out of me. Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!) When you take the text box away from this shot, that poor dolphin looks like he knows just how screwed he is. 7/18: Homura's birthday  As before, the right choice for Homura is to give her the really comfortable pillow. 7/23: Ennichi with Homura, year 2  Homura: Yo! Goon: Hi, Homura. Homura: You got here early. Goon: No, I just got here too. Homura: Yeah? Really? Well, who cares. Let's get started! Homura: I even wore a happi today! Option 1: Wear a yukata, dammit. Option 2: It, uh, it's perfect for you. Option 3: Somehow, you make it look cute. Remember the first rule of yukata and swimsuits? How you should always say that they look cute? It applies to happi too, apparently.  Goon: Somehow, you make it look cute. Homura: Wh, what're you saying, you moron? Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!)  A decidedly average performance in the goldfish scooping mini-game leads to:  Homura: Not bad, but you half-assed it. Goon: (Eh.) 8/14-8/19: Summer camp, year 2  Goon: (Summer camp starts today!) Goon: (Ugh, this is all Homura's fault. She keeps letting all the work pile up...) Homura: drat, it's hot! What a summer. Homura: Uh, hey, you doing good? Goon: Of course I am, that's the only thing I'm good at. Homura: Nyahahaha, just like me. Goon: (If you run, I will catch you!)  Student A: Help! The president's escaped! Again! Goon: What?! Everyone, split up and catch her! Goon: Now, where could Homura have gone? Option 1: Search the school cafeteria Option 2: Search the classroom Option 3: Search the principal's office We tried the principal's office last time, let's try the cafeteria this time. Girl likes her food.  Goon: Mwahahaha... I prepared something for just this occasion. Take that! Goon: Wahahahaha! How'd you like your taste of the might of my Anti-Homura Special Capture Device? Goon: (I did it!) it's hard to see, but there is a bone sticking out of Homura's mouth. It looks like she tried to eat one of those cartoon-sized hunks of meat in a single bite and got caught in Goon's clever trap. And yes, he's indulging in a bit of supervillainous gloating. I don't blame him. 8/27: A roller coaster plus a parade  Homura: Nyahahaha, what're you doing looking so tired? You doing okay? Option 1: I'm totally fine. Option 2: I think I'll be fine after I catch my breath. Option 3: I don't think I can keep going.  Goon: I think I'll be fine after I catch my breath. Homura: I guess I'll wait a little bit for you. Make it a quick recovery. Goon: (I made a pretty good impression.) Goon: Oh, hey, the night parade is starting. I didn't realize it was so late. Homura: That looks awesome, let's go take a look.  Homura: Whooooa, it's really pretty. Option 1: It's like we're in a movie scene. Option 2: It is really drat pretty... Option 3: People can be great sometimes, can't they.  Goon: It is really drat pretty... Homura: Nyahaha, you're standing all slack-jawed like an idiot. Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!) 9/10: Back to the arcade  Homura: Huh? What's that game you're playing? Option 1: It's a new kind of jockey game, but it's tiring. Option 2: It's a new kind of robot game, it's pretty fun. Option 3: It's a new kind of DJ game, it's getting pretty popular. The girl wears a drill on her hand and her theme song is based on Getter Robo, what choice is there?  Goon: It's a new kind of robot game, it's pretty fun. Homura: As a robot lover, I have to try it myself. Homura: Come help me play it. Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!) 9/18-9/22: A date with a bear  In honor of my upcoming trip to Sapporo, I had Goon's class go to Hokkaido for their class trip.  Akane: Wow, it's like we're not even in Japan anymore. It's so romantic here. Goon: Yeah. The brick buildings, brick roads, and gas lights--it's like we're in another country. Akane: Yup yup. I bet it's gorgeous if you come here at sunset. I want to see it some time. Goon: I don't think we have time to do that today, but it would definitely be nice to come back and see it some day. Goon: (Ichimonji-san is really in love with this place. I guess she's weak to romantic settings.)  Goon: Whew, I'm exhausted. Homura: Goon. Goon: Oh, hi Homura. What's up? This is totally a face that you can trust.  Homura: Let's go sightseeing tomorrow. Homura: Even if you say no, I'm dragging you with me. Goon: Okay. Homura: Alright, it's a date! We'll meet up right here. Don't be late. 3... 2... 1...  Homura: Good morning, I'm late, I'm sorry or something. Goon: (She doesn't mean a word of that.) Homura: Alright, let's get going. We need to make up for lost time. Goon: (And whose fault is that?!)  Homura: Mmmm, check out these vast wetlands! It's a perfect setting for a grand person like me. Goon: "Grand"? Homura: You say something? Homura: Ah, who cares. Look at that - don't you just wanna race allllll the way down? Goon: You're on!  Homura: ...! Goon: What?! A, a giant bear! Option 1: Run away alone Option 2: Run away with Homura Option 3: Fight it so Homura can get away Unfortunately there is no "let Homura take care of it" option, so we're left with 2 or 3. This is what happens if you run.  Goon: *gasp* *wheeze* I think we got away. Homura: You idiot! Why'd you drag me with you? Homura: A real hero never runs! This is the real option.  Goon is helluva tough in this run, doing almost nothing but student council activities, working out, and sleeping. The Guts from Student Council make his defense insanely high, which lets him dedicate his turns to punching the bear. The bear's melee attack does 200 damage to Goon, while Goon does about 2000 with his own attack command.  Easy.  Homura: Goon. Homura: You were trying to be way too cool. You stole my spotlight, dammit. Homura: But thanks...  Homura: Goon. Homura: You're coming with me. Goon: Sure, but where are we going? Homura: You sure ask a lot of dumb questions for a guy. Homura: Who cares, just come with me. Let's go. Goon: (I have a bad feeling about this...) Goon: "The last time I went with this girl I ended up killing a bear, what's the worst that could happen this time?"  Homura: This is a great view. Aren't you glad you came with me? Goon: Yeah, you're right. Goon: (If she'd just said something, I would've felt a lot better about it.) Homura: My bad. Homura: I had no idea how I was supposed to ask you to come out here. Homura: That's not really my style, you know? Goon: (Is she embarrassed?) Homura: Hokkaido's so nice. The air is great, the food is delicious, I just wanna live here. Goon: Yeah. Homura: You think so too? Homura: I just love places like this, where I can really stretch out. Goon: (This is pretty much what I expected out of Homura, but there was just never any kind of mood...) Next time: Who are you, and what have you done to Homura?

I kind of like how Student Council Goon is tougher and more athletic than Kendo National Champion Goon.

I also hope to see a Hikari run. And a Mei run, which we should definitely do next (sorry Hikari).

The thing I like about the Homura run is... well, for all these games (and for me "all these" being "dating sim translation LPs and Persona 3/4") the appeal for most of the characters is how well the writers handle their archetypes. Yuina is basically "What's it like to date a mad scientist," Mitsuru was reinterpreting princess tropes in the context of the game's setting, stuff like that. I think Homura is the first girl in these games that passes the "If this was a story about a real person, I'd want to be friends with them" test. And that might be the case for Hikari, too, don't know yet. So you know what you must do. (Actually if we were voting it'd be for Kotoko, I'm curious to see if there's any "there" there. I was the serious kid for most of high school too.) vibratingsheep posted:Mei's entrance is unchanged from before, but given her status as Homura's eternal rival, she merits the full paste. I happen to like this scene a lot. You mentioned on the stream this was mostly from supplementary material; plan on covering any of it?

Loving this thread, and loving that EVERY Homura correct answer is either food related or insane. Seeing the Dolphin on Homura's shoulder, I originally thought it was supposed to be an inflatable dolphin. But is it a live dolphin that she drags out of the ocean whenever she goes to the beach?
