Well in the interests of getting you to the next page, I'll post! I like the idea of demons and mecha in a world war two setting, though there hasn't really been much of that yet...

That little girl seriously, seriously creeps me out though, she looks like one of those demon children from horror movies, and the suggestion that she's a dating option just makes it ten times worse...

Edit: I think it doesn't help that those two little bits of hair coming out of her bangs always look like her eyebrows to me, so it's like she's always either really, REALLY angry, or just plotting evilly. Like this:

It was only just now that I even noticed she had eyebrows under there, but somehow that just makes it worse because it's like they were actually trying to make her cute and not creepy...

It ain't world war two, however. The game series rarely concerns itself with actual history of the time period (lol Sakura Wars 5 and its bizarro version of 1920's America)- and besides, history tends to be blindsided off of its natural course when you throw demons versus humans into the mix.

Ah I really meant WW2 era, sorry... steampunk's always fun, and steampunk vs demons can only be a good thing! Although it really does seem like no one's much bothered by the clouds of demons flying through the skies and lurking in the darkness.

LOL THANKS FOR THE NIGHTMARES

It's worse because that pose has TWO pairs of eyes lookin' straight at you: Iris's ice blue eyes and Jean-Paul's dead, glossy ones... D:

That's what I see every time I see her image :gonk:

For the love interest ballot, I'll take that as a vote for 'FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOT IRIS'.

More or less, I'd have used more exclamation marks

Also page 2, yay! :toot:

Edit: Wow, update torrent! Maybe you should try to space out posting them a little? Seorin does one a day and that seems to work pretty well...

Either her or Kana. I like extremes.

(Did they switch the colbert and crossarms emoticons? This post's going to look odd when they change that back...)

They've been like that ever since I signed up here, which leads me to believe they're not likely to be changed back in the immediate future.

Really? Huh, I never noticed... I guess I don't really use those two very often!

Also I forgot to mention when I was posting originally, but jumping steampunk trains are fantastic - forget the mecha, let's just ride around in that all day! :3:

I got more of a sense of "Maria, I'll count on you to cover us if we need it!" and she's saying "Shouldn't YOU be the one who decides if cover's needed or not?", but actually your scenario 4 seems to be closer. Maria was kind of being a jerk no matter what though :saddowns:

(Now that the battle's over, we're going to have to deal with Iris again.)

But... but... we were so happy :smith:

Spirit Armor posted:

Am I the only one who's worried about the "make you my lover" part? 'Cause it sounds suspiciously like "I'm going to crush your mind and turn you into my love slave," and that's not exactly high up on my list of priorities.

No, you're not the only one... :gonk:

I do like the sepia toned 'next time' though :unsmith:

Fun Fact: You can blame LittleKuriboh's 'Abridged Yu-Gi-Oh Series' as being the reason I don't just translate 'Oniichan' as 'Big Brother'. Whenever I read 'Big Brother', I immediately hear

Biiiig broooootheeeer!!

-- THIS sunnovabitch's vaguely whiny pronunciation.

Wow, now I hear everything Iris says in that voice.

You... you've managed to make iris ok! :aaa:

Everyone's focusing on Sumire, but there was another major breakthrough that update too!

The enemy's leader did take us by surprise, but your commands were admirable.

Maria gave you mild approval! Mild approval!!

[Yoneda] It's clear who's responsible for this disaster... the engineering department! Why wasn't the stage properly maintained Ogami!? When the police get here you're in big trouble!

I have to agree about the blimp being kind of disappointing after rolling thunder... drat it sakura wars you've ruined zepplins for me!

Little did we know, however, that we would be facing a new terror from the skies...

[Ogami]

... and the loss of two of our best pilots through an unexpected betrayal.

(Or just through willful negligence).

If the next update is anything but a drunk Yoneda driving the Rolling Thunder into a jump, through the tower and landing on top of you, I'm going to be a little disappointed...

Oh no! Spirit Armour was probated for a low content post in the pokemon LP...

Oh well, I guess he can get some updates done in advance so it's a bit easier on him, so much work goes into these!

Also, I've only ever voted for 'Anyone but Iris'... If you're not letting negative votes count then I guess I'll vote Maria!

Haha, Sakura's completely shut out here. It looks like Goons prefer weirdos more than normal one.

I think maybe you've gotten the characters mixed up because you just referred to Sakura as the normal one.

Ogami-san.... what in the world are you doing in front of Sumire-san's room?

Spirit Armor posted:

[Ogami]

Owowow~! W, who's there?! Who's pinching my back!

[Sakura]

It sure looks like you were having fun, weren't you?

Spirit Armor posted:

[Ogami]

Wha?! Sakura-kun, what're you talking about all of a sudden?!

[Sakura]

That woman... did anything happen with her?

Spirit Armor posted:

[Ogami]

Ah.... yes. I'll do my very best. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[Sakura]

Aa~aah...

It's not ending now. This LP will come to its natural conclusion or I shall eat my collection of Sakura Wars games.

I have, however, been getting beaten and/or sodomized by real life. Sorry for the horrible delay on the update- it will, at the very latest, go up tomorrow evening.

[Iris]
Yes... real life... mwahahaha

(Although thinking about it I suppose beatings and sodomy are really more kohran's forte?)
