Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

Will let vote go until tomorrow morning. Currently 10-6 for sleeping with Utena.

It's a shame the game doesn't let us "sleep with" Anthy in this vote.

"Hey, Anthy? Are you still awake?"

:geno:

"Thanks so much for letting me share your bunk! I was really afraid of sleeping on the floor by myself."

:geno:

"Are you really the Chairman's sister? He's really handsome."

Chapter XI: Actually, Wakaba, the One I Like Is...



Last time, we decided to go have a totally Platonic, normal sleepover with Utena. Nothing odd about that! Well, nothing odd except arbitrarily deciding to climb into our classmate's bed, but details.



Soundtrack: Premonition in the Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g_LVeDKtUM This track seems to be an andante, smooth jazz-ish rendition of Rinbu Revolution, the Utena Opening Credits song.

A very familiar set from the series. Many scenes are in this room. Lots of attention to detail in this game in recreating memorable locations.

Patter Song: Hey, Utena. Are you asleep?

Utena: No, not yet.

Patter Song: ...Actually, I have no bedding. So, uh...



Patter Song: Thank you, Utena!



Patter Song is clearly in :swoon: mode right now. Look at her.

Patter Song: Yeah...



This sentence makes absolutely no sense.

Utena: Suddenly getting thrown into the duels and the Rose Bride thing, and the Sword of Dios...

Patter Song: Oh, the Dueling Game that you told me about at lunch.



Anthy's in the bottom bunk listening to Utena refer to her as "the Rose Bride thing," minimizing the very serious situation she's in as the Dueling Game, and, oh yeah, Utena's in bed with someone who isn't Anthy. Anthy is :geno: or even :) on the surface, but just one level down she's probably in full on



mode. Anthy can get pretty territorial. Back to your regularly-scheduled LP in progress:

Patter Song: Mmm...

Utena: Well, I guess after doing it a few times, I'm starting to get used to it. Anyway, don't worry. I believe that you're not the Duelist.

Patter Song: Utena...



OK, so...I'm trying my hardest to come up with original jokes and observations in this thread, but sometimes, someone else said what needs to be said much better than you can, and sometimes, the person who said it is reading your thread and will notice if you reword his observation, and I know there's no way I can ever match the perfection of this:

Dallbun posted:

"There's no way you're a Duelist, D-ko. Duelists are all charismatic, strong-willed, beautiful people!"

Utena saying that we're not a Duelist comes across as a backhanded compliment at best because all the Duelists (actually including Utena herself!) are at the very top of Ohtori society. Some of them may be jackasses like Saionji or scheming, manipulative plotters like Touga, but these are the people who run Ohtori life. Utena's casually telling us she doesn't see us as Duelist material would be a withering blow if Patter Song weren't too stupid to understand subtext. She is who she is and we are who we are, though, so...

Patter Song: Thank you, Utena.



And scene! That does it for Day 1, but let's play a bit further.



Manual saves. Pah.



Soundtrack: Eyecatch II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMCC09wRjSU

I love that it plays the Eyecatch music during the loading screen.



Another day at Ohtori! Enjoy it while it lasts...we've been told we'll disappear the day after tomorrow.



Soundtrack: Campus Lyric https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=270vPdVVJ74

Patter Song: (Alright, it's my second day here! Although yesterday I wasn't able to ease into my own pace at all...I need to properly experience my classes, club activites, and stuff! The first thing is to start actively talking to my classmates. Now who should I talk to...? Come to think of it, that Wakaba girl said she knew the campus really well. Maybe I should ask her who the interesting people are.)



Talk to Wakaba...OK, Protagonist-Us, that's a plan I can get behind. Actually, maybe make that all we do? Like, for the rest of the game?

Wakaba: Good morning! What are your impressions of Ohtori after your first day?

Lots of phalluses, flowers, androgyny, and over-the-top opulence.

Patter Song: Well, I guess it's so gorgeous and luxuriant that it's kind of overwhelming. I was pretty flustered at the masquerade last night...

Or that.



Wakaba now has two protagonist best friends to bitterly resent the plot importance of. She takes it in stride, though.

Wakaba: So how was it? Was there anyone who caught your eye?

Patter Song: Huh?

Wakaba: Don't play innocent! The Student Council members were there last night too, right? There's no way a girl wouldn't hanker after at least one of them, right?

Actually–



Wakaba, the truth is– :blush:



Wakaba, the one I want is–



:sigh: No travels to the Onion Kingdom for us. Also, to protect Dallbun's honor, I should say that I have an early version of the translation patch and that errors like "Saijonji" there are fixed in the most recent version.

Vote time is going to work a bit differently this time! Wakaba is an expert gossip and doesn't need to stop at just one crush. She will let us name one or two people we're interested in.

Choices are:
Utena, the other protagonist whom we slept with last night.
Jury, the cool older girl who is into girls who scared off the creepy boys who tried to hit on us.
Saionji.
Touga, the handsome Student Council President who may or may not be related to us.
Miki, the boy with pretty blue eyes whom we did terrible comedy routine in front of and probably made him question our sanity.
???, who promised to take the Rose Bride from Utena, revealed that she had a Duelist ring, and threatened to make us disappear forever.

Our current relations are:



Vote the following way:

A totally normal thread reader posted:

We haven't seen enough of Utena lately, and I'm curious to see where Touga's subplot goes.

1. Utena.
2. Touga.

The order the names are in doesn't matter. The two characters with the highest vote counts win. However, since you can vote for one OR two people, you could also do this.

A bad person posted:

I think Patter Song has too much joy and should suffer!

1. Saionji
2. No One.

In this vote, No One is counted as a character. If No One is either first or second, cumulatively, we will only confess our love of one person to Wakaba.

Is this clear? I think this is the only vote where this will come up. I hate explaining this vote, as it feels like assigning homework. Of course, Something Awful users are a bright lot, you'll figure it out. Until next time, The Absolute Destiny Apocalypse!

As a not quite completely normal thread reader my choices are:

[b]1. Miki[b] This gives us the best chance of avoiding Touga's potentially incestuous weirdness.

[b]2. Jury[b] She has problems that she dosen't want to talk about, but she means well.

Jury because she rules and Mysterious Person because poor protagonist-chan has horrific taste, in true RGU fashion.

Miki and Jury deserve tender lovin for being the two people in all of Ohtori who are something resembling pleasant and can maybe even function in society. Plus, for people who haven't seen the series, it would be criminal not to have us interact with Kozue or Shiori in any way

Touga because he's the handsome Student Council President, of course.
Miki because I've been swayed by the idea that getting together with him would probably be the most helpful option to fix his story and the least disastrous for us.

I just had to write this alternate end to Protagonist-Us' night with Utena. Wouldn't recommend reading it unless you've watched the whole series.

Morning comes, and as the Protagonist hops out of the bed and walks to the door, Anthy calls her over.

:geno: "You know, I have a sheep named Patter Song. Quite a coincidence, isn't it? Your hair would look lovely as wool." :geno:

The Protagonist gets the hell out of the room and Ohtori as fast as she can.
