He's finally back,
to kick some tail!
And this time,
he's goin' to jail!
We're never going to do the baseball route are we? :(

Admittedly since she apparently moves away in Year 2 it probably wouldn't be as interesting as most of the other routes we haven't done yet.

Baseball route should just be Cross Game. From what we've seen of Kaedeko she seems about as interesting as one of the non-Yuina TM1 characters.

Home early due to #hellastorm here in the Bay Area, and I'm gonna be trying out a new stream layout to force the game into its proper 4:3 ratio.

Hurray for Mei run being completely uninteresting for the first year!

As always, the stream is at twitch.tv/vibratingsheep

e: Stream's done - see you next week. I fly out on Christmas day, so I have a deadline to finish Homura!

Screw all the haters that claim we're bad people. We gave Sheep Serika when he volunteered himself to do TM3. We really can't be much nicer than that... I'm thinking we've still got quite a ways to go before invalidating our net karmic positive here.

Homura route, chapter 4: The queen's ire

10/26: Goon's birthday


Homura: Goon.
Goon: Oh, hey Homura.
Homura: Happy birthday. Here, it's your present.
Goon: What? Really? Thanks, Homura!
Homura: I'm glad you're excited.
Homura: Feel free to look forward to what's inside. I have awesome taste.
Goon: Uh, okay.
Goon: (Homura's taste, eh. I'm a little scared now.)

The game never tells you what's in the box. :aaa:

10/29: Homura vs. the Asteroid


Homura: Goon. Over here!
Goon: Sorry, Homura. Did I keep you waiting?
Homura: It doesn't matter, let's have some fun. I'm itching to get started.


I don't wanna cloooose my eeeeeyes, I don't wanna goooo to sleeeeep


Goon: That movie was awesome, wasn't it?
Homura: Yeah, it was so good I wanna see it again.


Homura: I'm super hungry. Let's get something to eat.
Goon: Yeah, sure.
Homura: Alright, let's get moving.


Homura: Wanna stop by this place and kick back a little?
Goon: At this cafe? Sure, I don't mind. I'm pretty hungry too.
Homura: Cool, let's get a table.


Homura: Hurry up and order, I've already figured out what I want.
Goon: That was fast. What'd you decide on, curry?
Homura: Nah, not a rice dish, that's too heavy.
Homura: I went with spaghetti and the sandwich sampler. That's lighter, right?
Goon: (What's lighter about that?)
Homura: Plus a hot dog and karaage.
Goon: (There's more?!)
Homura: Then after that, some pancakes and ice cream.
Homura: And to top it all off, I'm getting the jumbo parfait.
Goon: I, uh, I think I'm good just getting coffee.
Goon: (Just listening to you made me feel full.)

11/3: Shooting games at the school festival


Goon: I should invite Homura to see the school festival with me.
Goon: Homura!
Homura: Huh, something wrong?
Goon: Want to go see the demonstrations with me?
Homura: Yeah, sure, it's better than going alone.
Goon: (So, where should we go?)

This year, the science-club-turned-computer club, headed by none other than Homura's archnemesis Mei, is the best option for Homura. The Cinderella story is a bit too dull for her tastes, and the brass band or tea ceremony are right out.


Homura: Whoa! They have a shooting game!
Homura: Go try it.




Space Ring Fighter is a very basic side-scrolling shooting game. Dodge bullets, shoot in a straight line, beat a boss at the end.


However, at some point in the last few years, I stopped being any good at shooting games. I blame this LP. Maybe I should dust off my copy of Radiant Silvergun...


Homura: Well, your fundamentals aren't bad, but you're nowhere near as good as me.
Homura: My turn now!


3 minutes of watching the game play itself later, Homura proves that she is as good at this game as she claimed.


Homura: And that's how it's done.
Goon: That was awesome.


Homura: That was a fun festival.
Homura: And since I'm saying it, that means it's true!
Goon: (It was definitely fun.)

11/5: A small aside


In the interests of time, I'm cutting a lot of the bomb warnings - and let me tell you, there were a ton of them. But for some reason, after one date with Akane, no one would go out with Goon anymore. Not Kotoko, not Miyuki, not even Hikari! The only person who didn't refuse a date with Goon after a bomb warning was Kaedeko, mostly because it's physically impossible for her to go on a date with Goon at this point.

11/27: Tempting fate


Goon: (Time to head home.)
Homura: Yo, you look bored. Wanna hang out?

There is an event that you can get that only happens when you call Homura something she doesn't like. It's kind of masochistic, but also funny.


Goon: Hey, Homura-chan. Hmmm...


This face lasts for about 10 frames, just long enough for you to say "oh crap".


Homura: DON'T CALL ME THAT!
Goon: (I guess that was the wrong thing to say...)

This event also resets your form of address to the default Akai-san until you can fix it with another after-school event. For the sake of convenience, though, I'm just going to keep using Homura.

12/11-12/15: Midterms


85th: Sakaki Takumi
104th: Hokari Jun'ichirou
113th: Hinomoto Hikari
127th: Fudou Gunma
148th: Minazuki Kotoko
247th: Kotobuki Miyuki
281st: Akai Homura
285th: Ichimonji Akane


Homura: Goon!
Goon: Hey, Homura.
Homura: You hear? I flunked!
Goon: Wow, Homura. I really respect you for talking about your own failures in public like this.


Homura: Wait, you mean--you mean you didn't flunk too?
Goon: I didn't.
Homura: This--this isn't happening! This can't be happening!
Homura: Noooo, I was tricked!
Goon: (Geez, that was insulting.)

12/16: Those aren't ski goggles, Homura


Presented without comment: Homura in winter.


Homura: Whoa, it's a winter wonderland out here. Good thing there's enough to ski on.
Option 1: Yeah, that's for sure.
Option 2: Who cares, let's start skiing!
Option 3: Ack! My eyes, I'm blind!


As is common on the Homura route, the best option is to suppress your dating game instincts and appeal to Homura as a person.


Goon: Who cares, let's start skiing!
Homura: You're right! There's snow, it'd be rude not to take advantage of it!
Goon: (I made a pretty good impression.)

12/24: The least eventful Christmas in any Tokimemo


Homura doesn't show up to the Ijuuin Christmas party, partially because she doesn't fit in, and partially because she doesn't like Mei. Takumi and Hikari show up, so that's a thing.


Miyuki's hair is really the only thing of note. It seems like it's capable of independent flight.

1/1: A new year and a new look


Hikari's new year's card is the same as always, and I'm also going to skip Takumi's and Jun's.

Goon: This is Kotobuki-san's card. It's a flashy kind of card, just like she is.

Happy new year!
There's something so nice about a fresh year.
Let's go into the new year with gusto!

The two comments in green next to the scarf-clad alien are "Grey" and "The start of the 21st century!". No, I don't know why Miyuki's Grey is rendered in bright yellow.

Goon: This is Homura's card.
Goon: ...
Goon: Well, I shouldn't have expected much more from her.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

(I spilled)

And this year, who would appear at Goon's door but--


A mysterious stranger!

Goon: Oh, hi Homura. What're you doing here this early?
Homura: Happy new year! May it be full of cheer for both of us.
Goon: Uh, happy new year. I hope for the same thing.
Homura: I came here to say my new year's greetings, and invite you to come out to hatsumoude. Let's go!
Goon: Yeah, I'm in!
Homura: I thought you'd say that. Let's get a move on.
Goon: Alright, lemme go change.
Homura: Make it quick.


Goon: Thanks for waiting.
Goon: By the way, I couldn't help but notice you're wearing a haregi today.
Homura: Well, you know, it just sorta turned out that way.
Option 1: You wear it well.
Option 2: It really suits you. You look cute.
Option 3: I guess it's true what they say, anyone can look good with the right clothes.


Translation note: option 3 here is a Japanese saying that literally translates to "Even a packhorse driver can look good in the right outfit." It's a lot less insulting than a similar English idiom, "lipstick on a pig", but some people can still take offense to it.

Fans of the Tales series may know it as a title and costume for Sheena, though it was translated to the much less idiomatic "You look great!" in the English version--probably for character count issues more than anything else.





Goon: It really suits you. You look cute.
Homura: D, don't call me cute!
Homura: What the hell are you saying, geez...
Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!)
Goon: Let's get going.
Homura: Alright!


Homura: Look at this mass of kimonos.
Homura: It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself into that.
Goon: No kidding. But you've got courage to spare, don't you?
Homura: Of course I do. I'm a hero, after all.
Homura: Let's get in there.
Goon: (Homura's a really easy person to motivate sometimes.)


Homura: Hey, we should pull our fortunes while we're here.
Goon: Yeah, good idea.
Homura: That's the spirit.
Homura: Don't be shocked when you see how good I am at this.
Goon: (How can someone be good at this?)


Goon: Let's see, my fortune for the year is...
Goon: Suekichi, good fortune to come.
Goon: (What did Homura pull?)
Homura: Were you able to get daikichi?
Goon: Well, you can see for yourself. What about you, Homura?
Homura: Who, me? Take a look, daikichi.
Goon: No way!
Goon: (How lucky is she?)


Homura: I'm exhausted after that.
Goon: Yeah, that was a huge crowd.
Homura: Welp, I'm gonna go home, take a bath, and fall asleep. Later.
Goon: Later.
Goon: (I should do the same thing myself.)

1/8: To the aquarium, for penguin justice!


Oh, she does own an umbrella.


Homura: Holy crap, it's cold. Why're we going to the aquarium on a day like this?
Goon: Well, uh, I'll get something that'll help warm you up, just a sec.
Homura: Hey, that's nice of you. Thanks.


Goon: Huh? Did she go inside already?


Goon: Hey, tell me next time if you're just gonna go ahead of me.
Homura: Hehehehehehe...
Homura: Ehehehehe!
Goon: Hello? Earth to Homura.


Homura: Huh? What? Oh, that was fast.
Goon: So, you love penguins?


Homura: What? No! No way! Who could possibly like those little squirts?
Goon: You were off in your own little world just a second ago.
Homura: Sh, shut up. Let's get out of here.
Goon: (You know, you do kind of resemble each other.)

2/3: Praised by Homura for a perfect week... kind of

Goon's had perfect weeks before this, but no one's ever complimented him on a job well done at the student council, or on doing exceptionally well in training or anything. No, what Homura cares about is...


Sleep, of course.


Goon: (I slept really well this week.)
Homura: You looked like you were having a great nap.
Homura: You're working too hard.
Homura: Next time, leave some room for me, will ya?
Goon: (I did it!)

Ah, to be young and happy about a week spent sleeping in the nurse's office.

2/14: Valentine's Day, uncomfortable edition


Hikari: Gunma-kun!
Goon: Hey, Hikari.
Hikari: Here's your giri chocolate. You think you're getting any from anyone else?
Goon: No clue.
Hikari: Don't strain yourself.
Hikari: Even if I'm the only one who gives you something, you'll be happy, right?
Goon: (I have mixed feelings about what just happened.)


Goon: Hey, Homura.
Homura: Sit! Stay!
Goon: Huh? What?


Homura: I'm going to put this chocolate on your nose, but you have to wait until I say the word.
Homura: Now!
Goon: (Mixed feelings, again.)

Welp.


Miyuki: Ah! I found you!
Miyuki: You want some chocolate?
Goon: Hi, Kotobuki-san. Sure, I'll have some.
Miyuki: Here you go, then!
Miyuki: Don't read too much into it, though.
Goon: (You don't have to be so blunt about it.)

That was a pretty rough Valentine's Day. Poor Goon.

3/5-3/9: Finals


89th: Fudou Gunma
113th: Sakaki Takumi
123rd: Hokari Jun'ichirou
124th: Hinomoto Hikari
156th: Minazuki Kotoko
248th: Kotobuki Miyuki
294th: Akai Homura
197th: Ichimonji Akane

3/14: White Day


Goon: Hey, Homura!
Homura: Huh. What's up?
Goon: Here, this is my thanks for Valentine's Day.
Homura: Whoa, what? For me? I, I kinda feel bad for making you do this.
Goon: Something wrong, Homura?
Homura: N, nothing!
Goon: (And just like that, she's gone.)

Homura route, chapter 5: The Lord of the Lake versus the Hibikino Hero

3/25: Karaoke with Homura


You know what, Homura? I'll give you props for either version of the Tigers that you're repping. The Detroit Tigers in the late '90s weren't exactly very good in the post-Cecil Fielder era, with Dean Palmer and Tony Clark leading the team all the way to 23 games under .500 while the Indians were smushing everyone. The Hanshin Tigers were mired in the Curse of the Colonel too, so I commend your loyalty either way.


Homura: I'm parched. We should get something to drink.
Option 1: How about some healthy tomato juice?
Option 2: Want something carbonated?
Option 3: Real men stay quiet and drink black coffee.


Translator's note: The third line here is a cribbed version of an old Sapporo Beer slogan. It's pretty manly, but the main thing keeping us from picking this option is because Homura probably thinks that black coffee is disgusting, given her demonstrated love of sweets.


Goon: Want something carbonated?
Homura: That's perfect. It feels great going down when you're thirsty.
Goon: (Looks like I made a pretty good impression.)


The dialogue is still the same, but it's worth seeing what the post-date event looks like when she's wearing the jersey.

4/5: Year 3 begins


Homura: Hey, we're in the same class. Nice to see you.
Goon: Yeah, nice to see you too.
Goon: You know, it's kinda embarrassing having to say all these greetings again to everyone.
Homura: Nyahahaha, don't say that.
Homura: You made me laugh, and I've been trying to hold it in this whole time.
Goon: S, sorry.
Goon: (That was scary, I thought she might unleash the Kaichou Kick on me.)

4/8: Swimming with sharks


Homura: Sorry I kept you waiting. The changing room was really crowded.
Homura: What do you think, does this look good?
Option 1: It looks perfect!
Option 2: I didn't realize you were so cute, Homura.
Option 3: I'm so glad you didn't come out in a fundoshi.



Goon: It looks perfect!
Homura: Nyahaha, I know, right? This one is totally me.
Homura: It took so long to find it.
Goon: (I made a great impression!)


Homura: While we're out all this way, you wanna take the scenic route home?
Goon: Yeah, sure.


Homura: You said you were hungry, right? Let's stop here.
Goon: Sure. I'm super hungry. But is this place any good?
Homura: It's awesome. It gets the Homura seal of approval.
Goon: Your seal of approval, huh? I'm drooling already.

Attentive readers will remember that this is the same background used for Akane's workplace. While the game never says anything about it, it's a pretty safe assumption to think that this is the same place.


Goon: Whew, that was good. Thanks.
Goon: We really ate a lot.
Homura: It's pretty impressive that you managed to keep up with me.
Goon: Impressive how? This is pretty normal for me.
Homura: It's not normal, apparently. People keep telling me that it's amazing how much I eat.
Goon: I'm a guy, though.
Goon: I'm pretty sure it's just you who's amazing.


Homura: Yeah?
Homura: Oh, hey, old man! I wanna make another order.
Homura: Gimme an A set, extra large.
Goon: (She's going to eat more? No wonder people call her amazing.)
Homura: Huh? Oh, are you done?
Goon: Yeah, I think I'm good.
Goon: (How does all that food fit inside such a tiny person?)

4/19: Miyuki interlude


Goon: Hey, Kotobuki-san.
Miyuki: Yoo-hoo!
(screeching tires, whooshing sound)
Miyuki: Hup!


Goon: That was a really nice dodge, Kotobuki-san.
Miyuki: Ehehe, even Miyuki can't take that kind of punishment all the time!
Goon: That's true.
Miyuki: Let's get moving!
(screeching tires, crash)


Goon: Kotobuki-san! Are you okay?
Miyuki: Whoopsie, I'm okie, I'm okie.
Miyuki: I seem to be in one piece, at least.
Goon: (I shouldn't have said anything.)

4/20: A dog and his girl


Homura: Hey, stop it, Service Ace!
Homura: Fine, but it's my turn now! How do you like that, huh?
Goon: (What's Homura doing over there?)

Yes, the dog's full name is Service Ace. I don't know why. It's not like Homura really likes tennis or volleyball anyway.


Homura: Hey, I said stop!
Homura: Stop playing with my skirt!
Goon: (...)
Homura: Oh! Uh, you need something?
Goon: No, I was just passing by.
Homura: Man, this sucks. I was just walking on by, when Service Ace here--you know how it is.
Goon: I dunno, you looked like you were having a lot of fun.


Homura: N, no way. Anyway, I gotta go. Important student council business.

This excuse is even flimsier than usual with Goon serving diligently on the student council.

4/29: The fisher queen


And here you can see why the thread name has not changed, even though I'm not playing Girl's Side at the moment.


Goon: Hey, can we head home soon?
Homura: No way. I have a good feeling about this, and I'm not going home until I catch something.
Goon: Ugh...
Homura: Could you shut up and quit your whining?
Homura: Leave me alone for a second.
Goon: (I guess I have to stay here with her a little longer.)
(...)


Homura: Whoa!
Homura: Alright!
Goon: Holy crap, you actually caught one.

Not only did she catch one, but it appears to be at least half her size.

5/14: Status report from the guys


Takumi: Yo.
Goon: Hey, Takumi. Something up?
Takumi: Nothing, really. I just wanted to ask you how things are going.
Goon: I'm doing fine, if that's what you mean.
Takumi: No, I mean--how's it going with the ladies?
Goon: W, well, it's going alright, I guess.


Jun: Yo.
Goon: Yo.
Takumi: Well, Jun only has eyes for one person, so it's not like I need to ask.


Jun: What're you talking about?
Takumi: Girls.
Jun: Oh, well, uh...
Takumi: Ahaha, you're so naive.


Jun: By the way, Takumi, I saw you the other day.
Takumi: Huh?
Jun: You were on a date with Shirayuki-san, weren't you?
Jun: What's going on there?

Oh thank god this didn't happen on the Miho/Maho route. Takumi's interest in Miho locks Maho's ending, because it forces a fight for Miho's affections at the end of the game, even if you're trying to beat the game with Maho.


Takumi: Oh, hey, Akane-chan!
Jun: What? Where? Uh, ummm, uh...
Takumi: Fooled you!
Takumi: Laaaater.
Goon: (You'll never beat Takumi at this, Jun.)

6/2: The tag team champions


Homura: Goon.
Goon: Oh, hi Homura, hi Hikari.
Homura: You about to eat too?
Homura: Wanna eat with us?
Goon: Of course! And by the way--
Option 1: Can Takumi come too?
Option 2: Can Jun come too?


I appear to have messed up, because Akane is not in position 2 for this, and I can't bro it up with Jun.

Well, the next best thing is to cockblock Takumi, so I guess there's that.



Goon: Can Takumi come too?
Homura: Yeah, sure. The more the merrier.
Goon: Cool.
Goon: Hey, Takumi! Takumi!
Takumi: Huh? What's going on?
Goon: The girls brought lunch. Wanna join us?
Takumi: I do!
Goon: (What an opportunist. Well, whatever.)


Homura: Goon!
Goon: Hey, Homura.
Homura: You have a partner for the three-legged race yet?
Goon: No, not yet.
Homura: Then team up with me!
Goon: Sure.
Homura: Alright! We have to win, so you better bust your rear end like you mean it!



As if there was any doubt.


Homura: You looked pretty cool out there.
Goon: You really think so?
Homura: Nyahaha, just because no one ever says that to you, doesn't mean you should act all suspicious.
Homura: Trust me.
Goon: (I hope I'm not blushing.)

Previous runs may remember that the best gift for Homura is a DG Go-Driller. That said, this is exactly the same thing that happened in Akane's route, chapter 10.


Goon: Hey, Homura!
Homura: Hmm? What's up?
Goon: Happy birthday! Open up your present.
Homura: Nyahahahaha, this is right up my alley. Nice.
Goon: (She looked really happy, I'm glad she liked it)

7/28: Ennichi year 3: Surfbort edition


Even the kinchaku is watermelon-themed. And no, this is not the last fruit-themed outfit or design we'll see in Tokimemo 2, trust me.


Homura: I figured you were looking forward to this, so I came here wearing a yukata today.
Option 1: You know what they say, anyone can look good in the right clothes.
Option 2: You look really feminine in a yukata, Homura.
Option 3: I wasn't looking forward to it at all.


Gee, I'm glad they made this choice difficult.


Goon: You look really feminine in a yukata, Homura.
Homura: Of, of course I do! I'm a girl, you know.
Goon: (I made a great impression!)
Goon: Let's go goldfish scooping.
Homura: I'm going next, so make sure to warm up the crowd for me.


Not a bad haul at all.


Homura: Whoa! I totally wasn't expecting that.
Homura: Alright, my turn.

8/5: Playing with the boys


Homura's year 3 outfit.


Homura: Let's play some beach volleyball. I already found a team to play against!
Option 1: What? What're you talking about?
Option 2: Alright, let's kick their asses!
Option 3: I was wondering where you snuck off to...



Goon: Alright, let's kick their asses!
Homura: No doubt about it! We're in it to win it!
Homura: You understand what's gonna happen to you if you lose, right?
Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!)

8/12: Shootin' 'em up


Goon's kills are counted on the left, and Homura's on the right. Homura and Mei are the two best characters in the game at Virtual Hazard, and it's pretty drat hard to beat them unless you've memorized the pattern.


Homura: Man, that last enemy was really tough.
Option 1: We beat him with our great teamwork.
Option 2: Your last shot was what sealed it, Homura.
Option 3: I landed the deciding shot, you know.



Goon: Your last shot was what sealed it, Homura.
Homura: What can I say, I've got great eyes.
Homura: No matter how hard they try, they can't escape me.
Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!)


Homura: Holy crap, it's like we're in a giant ball of light.
Option 1: This is something we'll remember for the rest of our lives.
Option 2: You okay? It's just the parade.
Option 3: I wonder if this is what it's like inside a superhero's transformation sequence?



Goon: I wonder if this is what it's like inside a superhero's transformation sequence?
Homura: Nyahaha, you say some funny things.
Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!)

8/13-8/17: One last summer camp


Goon: (Summer camp starts today! And it's still all Homura's fault for letting the work pile up.)
Homura: Hey, I need you to keep this secret.
Goon: Wh, what is it?
Goon: (And why are we whispering?)
Homura: Help me escape! I'll never ask you for anything ever again! Please?
Goon: ...NO loving WAY!
Goon: EVERYONE!
Goon: SHE'S MAKING A BREAK FOR IT!


Homura: Wha--drat you! I'll remember this!
Homura: And I'll get away, just watch me!
Goon: (Who'd let her get off easy after she said this much stupid stuff on the first day?)
Goon: (I mean, it's her fault for telling me in the first place.)

8/16: Guess what?


Student A: Help! The president's escaped! For the third time!
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


There's only one place left: the classroom.


Goon: Hmmm, I can't find her anywh--


Goon: (Are--are those pajamas? Or a sleeping bag?)
Goon: (Either way, it's cute...)

I decided to stop being lazy and stopped using the weird squashed resolution that the PS3 uses when emulating the PlayStation, so this is the first Tokimemo 2 gif presented at its proper 4:3 ratio! Huzzah.


After 3 years of chasing around Homura and trying to force her to do work, Goon has learned Stress Rampage. However, I wasn't able to capture any use of it - I'll try again next stream so I can put up the gif of it!

Next time: Crush them, giant robo!

You know what, Homura? I'll give you props for either version of the Tigers that you're repping. The Detroit Tigers in the late '90s weren't exactly very good in the post-Cecil Fielder era, with Dean Palmer and Tony Clark leading the team all the way to 23 games under .500 while the Indians were smushing everyone. The Hanshin Tigers were mired in the Curse of the Colonel too, so I commend your loyalty either way.

Homura route, chapter 6: Sometimes you're the dragon, and sometimes you're the princess

8/25: One last fireworks show


Goon: Huh? Homura? What're you doing here this late?
Homura: Isn't it obvious?
Homura: Let's go watch the fireworks!
Goon: Ooh, good idea.
Homura: Then let's get going! The fireworks are waiting for us!
Goon: Yeah, I can't wait!


Homura: I can't wait for the fireworks to start. I'm getting all antsy.
Goon: Looks like they're starting soon.


Homura: It's so beautiful.. *sniff sniff*
Homura: Huh, there's snot coming out of my eyes or something.
Option 1: Here, use my handkerchief.
Option 2: Yeah, I totally understand how you feel.
Option 3: Yeah, mine too.


No, seriously, Homura really does say that her tears of awe and wonder are snot coming out of her eyes.


Goon: Here, use my handkerchief.
Homura: Thanks. I'll wash it and give it back.
Goon: (Looks like I made a great impression!)

10/6: Homura's version of the school festival

As usual, Bakuretsuzan declares that the school festival will be run by classes and not by clubs, as it has been for the previous two years. Takumi's suggestion of a class play is the same as always, and there's always that costume parade thing that will never ever get a vote. As for Homura...


Homura: Goon.
Goon: Yo, Homura.
Homura: Let's run an arcade. That means you have to help me.
Goon: What?
Homura: What, something wrong with an arcade? It doesn't seem like you're very enthusiastic about this.
Goon: No, that's not what I'm trying to say.
Goon: (But is it really okay for us to run an arcade?)


When it actually comes to a vote, the option morphs from being an arcade/game center to being a "game corner", which is pretty different.

Kasumi: The votes are in, and we're running a game corner.
Kasumi: Let's work together and make this a success.

10/17: I'm helping!


Goon: You know, even though we set up patrols, there's no way anything's gonna happen, right?
Jun: Hey, Goon! You see anyone suspicious come by here?!
Goon: Huh? What the hell are you talking about?
Jun: While we were out, some bastard messed up all of our decorations.
Goon: Wait, seriously?
Jun: We've gotta find who did it!
Goon: Got it. I'll help look.
Jun: Thanks. I'll check out this side.


Goon: (What am I supposed to be looking for when the only thing he told me was "suspicious", anyway?)


Goon: Well, I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find anyone suspicious.


Homura: Hey, what're you doing standing around--
Homura: Oh, it's you.
Goon: Oh, hey Homura! Did you see anyone suspicious come by?
Homura: Suspicious?
Goon: Yeah, some jerk messed up all the decorations in our class.


Homura: Geez, sorry I messed it all up.
Goon: Wait. what?


Homura: Well, uh, um, you know...
Homura: I was bored, so I figured I'd help out a little, and everything I did turned out like--
Goon: Why didn't you try and help while everyone was around?


Homura: You know how it is, the student council is supposed to work behind the scenes.
Homura: I can't do that kind of stuff when everyone's looking.
Goon: Sigh... I should've known it was you, Homura.

10/26: Goon's birthday


Goon: Hey, Homura.
Homura: Today's your birthday, right?
Homura: Here's your present. Take it if you want it.
Goon: Of course I want it. Thanks, Homura.
Homura: Nyahaha, I'm glad you like it.
Goon: (Homura seems more happy about this than I am.)

11/3: The game corner, starring Homura


Goon: (Ooh, everyone's really getting into it.)

Homura is dressed up as Pastel from the Twinbee series, as opposed to the fighting game version of Pastel, who wore boxing gloves.


Homura: You're doing it all wrong, this is how you really make it fly. There!
Children: Whoooooooa, coooooool!
Goon: (Birds of a feather flock together.)
Goon: (But I'm surprised, she's really taking good care of the kids.)


Homura: Oh, hey!
Homura: Uh... what're you looking at?
Goon: Nothing. I was just thinking that you're really cute at times like these, Homura.

"Also, I was wondering how you managed to convince that kid to be your cape for the day."


Homura: Wh-wha-whaaaaat?
Homura: Don't say stupid sh--stuff like that!
Children: Ooh, sis, your face is bright red!
Children: It's truuuue, all red all red!
Children: Heyyyyy, come back and play with us!
Homura: Okay, okay.
Goon: (She's pretty good at taking care of these kids.)


Homura: Man, look at that fire go.
Homura: It feels good just looking at it.
Goon: Yeah, it's kinda relaxing.
Homura: I think so too.
Homura: I'm kinda sleepy--wake me up when it's over.
Goon: Uh, okay.

12/10-12/14: Midterms

254th: Kotobuki Miyuki

299th: Hokari Jun'ichirou?!?!?!?!?!
302nd: Ichimonji Akane

Jun's grades plummeting like this are a sign of his depression after getting dumped. I'm so sorry, Jun!

12/15: The hero returns


Goon: I wonder if Homura's getting here soon.
Goon: Wait, what's going on over there?
Punk: Hey, kid, you wanna lend me some money?
Boy: N, no!
Goon: I should help!
Homura: Shazam!
Goon: Huh?


Homura: Presidential--I mean, old-school Dragon Kiiiiick!
Punk: Hwaarrrgh!
Homura: Now, kid! Leave this to the heroes, and get outta here!
Boy: Thanks, miss!
Goon: Well, I should help her out.

I think she's good, but hey, what are sidekicks for, right?


Homura: Nyahahahahaha!
Homura: The dragon's claw that rends evil asunder!
Homura: Super Soldier Dragon!
Goon: Oh man, that really brings me back.
Goon: You know, I used to have a Dragon Belt when I was a kid.
Homura: Oh, sweet! You got the special prize that came with the chocolates?
Goon: Yeah, that's the one! I got it at the little candy store down the street from school--
Goon: (Wait a second, now that I think about it...)


Goon: (Could that have been--)
Homura: Oh yeah, they're showing reruns of Super Soldier Dragon right now.
Goon: (No, wait, there's no way. That kid who saved me back then was a boy.)
Homura: Hey, you listening?
Homura: Hey! Something wrong?
Goon: (Wait! What if that kid just looked like a boy?!)


Goon: Homura, did you ever help a boy who was being bullied in front of the candy shop?
Homura: Uhhhh, maybe I did, maybe I didn't, I dunno.
Homura: Oh, wait, no, I remember. I did!
Goon: That boy was me!
Homura: Huh. Is that so?
Goon: ...Please try to act at least a little surprised. Or moved, or something.
Homura: Why?
Homura: I mean, it happened a long time ago, didn't it?
Homura: What's it matter now?
Goon: I guess you're right, but--
Homura: Let's get moving!
Goon: Okay!


Goon: They're showing the Go-Driller movie right n--
Goon: Wait. Homura? Where'd you go?
Goon: (She's already in line...)


Goon: (The Go-Driller movie is a remake of the super popular robot anime TV series.)


Goon: That movie was awesome!
Homura: Yeah, it was suuuper awesome! Let's watch it again.

12/24: Princess for a day


Goon: Alright, I guess I should head to the Christmas party.
(ring ring)
Goon: Huh, who could that be?
Goon: Hello, this is Fudou.
Homura: Yo, it's me.
Homura: Hey, you're going to the party tonight, right?
Goon: What? Yeah, I was planning on it, what about it?
Homura: Don't just plan on it. Do it. Alright? No matter what.
Goon: Why?
Homura: Stop asking questions, just go!
Homura: Bye.
Goon: (Is Homura actually coming?)

Remember, Homura going to Mei's house for a party is basically the equivalent of Superman walking into the Hall of Doom for one of Lex Luthor's parties. This isn't a small thing.


Goon: (I guess I'll bring a present.)
Option 1: A cute skirt
Option 2: Max Grade Go-Driller
Option 3: Super Soldier Dragon trading cards


All of these are designed for Homura to like them. However, the cute skirt actually changes how Homura dresses for the last 3 months of the game, so we're going with that one.


Goon: (Is Homura really here?)


Homura: G, good evening.
Goon: Huh? Oh, good evening. Ummm--
Homura: Y, you came as I asked. I am very pleased.
Goon: ...
Homura: ...
Goon: Homura, is that you?


Homura: Wh, what're you trying to say, you idiot?!
Homura: Umm, uhhh, I mean, wh, what are you trying to imply, sir?
Homura: I am not Akai at all.

Reminder: Akai Homura's name is a pun for "Red flame". She's making an accidental pun at the moment given how red her face is, but I'll forgive her just this once.


Goon: You keep slipping back to normal.
Homura: drat, you saw right through me, didn't you.
Goon: What're you doing dressed like that, anyway?


Homura: That drat Ijuuin, she lets everyone in but me, you know?
Homura: So I tried putting on a disguise.
Goon: You sure you didn't get disguise and masquerade mixed up?
Homura: Sh, shut up! Anyway, since I made it all the way here, let's have fun.
Goon: Sure, I'm fine with that.


Goon: (It'll be time for the gift exchange soon...)
Homura: Alright, let's get outta here.
Goon: What? The gift exchange is just about to start.
Homura: And that's why we need to get outta here before someone finds out that I didn't bring anything.
Goon: Hey, wait, Homura!


Homura: Wow, that was fun.
Homura: That was the best Christmas ever.
Goon: Yeah, the food was unbelievable, right?
Homura: Well, that's true. But that wasn't the only thing.
Goon: What else is there?


Homura: Don't make me say it, you moron!
Goon: Why not?


Homura: A--anyway, this whole year's been fun.
Goon: Reeeeeally.
Goon: Oh, I almost forgot! Here. Merry Christmas.


Homura: Is that for me?
Goon: After you called me, I figured I might as well.
Goon: I kept it separate from the one I was going to put in the gift exchange.
Homura: Geez, you had me figured out the entire time, didn't you?
Homura: drat, you're a sickeningly sweet guy sometimes.


For just about the first time in Tokimemo history, this diagonal angle actually kind of makes sense, assuming Goon is a good bit taller than Homura and is looking over (and down) at her.

Homura: This really, really is the best Christmas ever.
Goon: (It really is.)

Next time: Wild horses.

Tokimemo (and a lot of other anime/manga in general--Hinata Hyuga, I'm looking at you) never quite got the hang of the concept of blushing. They tended to slap it on someone's face permanently, making it look to non-Japanese audiences like the character has been running a fever for months. Since Homura almost never does it except in situations that understandably make her embarrassed, it works the best out of every character so far.


I tried, I really tried :negative:
