opening and setting aside the penny thread For Now bc that's going to need a google doc
october murder investigation doesn't require any fourth floor exploration now the ninth body's been found
lessee... from last month... might drop helena's thread because it's come to a nice conclusion, i was gonna add a denouement but it doesn't need it
ranger's is threatening to turn into a 'you go first' 'no you go' so it might be best handwaved
the rest I'm still interested in but apart from courtyard void aren't a priority
thanks bunny, appreciate it
gonna take my mitts off laptop thread for others now
okay, finished lunch, google doc time
am i making this harder for myself than it needs to be? probably
but it's good to have an idea of what he'd IC know in totality anyway
the insanity is taking over
it's true
i have a disease and one of the symptoms is a compulsion to make spreadsheets
i'm up to the murder mystery thread and looking at the clock nervously, might not finish this tonight
oof yeah no brain is hitting mush stage... tomorrer
shin focused but like, all the clues are there unless there's threads i still don't know about in which case sobs
tl;dr is there enough ic information for shin to be right? no. is there enough for him to be confidently wrong? also no. is there enough to work it out ooc? probably it's that guy just bc it's the name that's been mentioned but there's no connecting line there
belatedly bc there's different ongoing investigations: this is about redacted-kun
anyway gonna ask ori some follow up qs and lie down on the floor
what did happen in june, huh. maybe u should look.
sobs, as promised
okay gimme a bit to check that out
okay it's probably the imps im crying
okay putting some threads here so I don't lose track of them
not the instant migraine generator help that things a weapon
sfdgdfdg god it really could be
sorry rantaro :' ) shin is like. what are the odds we both have memory removal problems (this is a lie he's mostly thinking about the blacklight part)
i was just like 'oooh use blacklight on paper' so i didn't expect to get into this this early :' )
could the lantern grant people memories of how they died to get into yogen
unless ori vetoed it, probably!
as long as it's a memory, it can work on it, but i don't know if you'd need to pay for a plot clue
....it's probably part of the once-a-month limitation, really
i'm down for nene use : D
we'd probably have to ask tbh, d rahter be safe than sorry (or foolish)
no worries better to be sure yeah
debating between FAQ and mod contact
he's asking if they're a transfer student bc only a transfer student would be able to see the auditorium void as far as he knows
sent in the FAQ about the lantern
and received the verdict!
>: D we can have some fun
it's one memory a month but we can forward/back date as needed, i know septembers I still need to do
shin, internally: i don't care for ranger
also shin, internally: his brain is so cool tho
if only he used it more often
fsghhgfdg i know there isn't bc they're meant to be completely human like but i can't help but imagine the sound of fans speeding up if he does
...mangled that sentence grammatically
i apologize in advance for the handwaving of Code Things this thread as well
also i'm crying i want you to know there's a thread where sara and shin argue over which number a floor in the facility is and he's like 'i had the floorplan in front of me how is this happening'
they had a nice visit home :' )
LMFAO GOD that's not too far off though... And handwaving code things is valid, please spare us all because my brain is also not big enough for that.
it's just like. narratively raw material to work with dwbi is fine is fine :' )
YEAH
THEY GOT TO SEE
THE Q-TARO ENDING
link because god. this thread was so good annie was so good
i love this bc it's like sara having a terrible time in the background of shin getting catharsis
he has a 'good' time with the bad end elevator and now a bad time with the good end exchange trip, it's balance
because when shin finds out sara killed kanna it becomes objectively terrible
i give you the catharisis....so i can make you worse
GOD just let these kids be happy already
going to amuse me to hell when shin hates sara and ranger is her only castmate who can stand her
actually in love with how this tag is going bunny ranger and sara forbidden besties
HAHAHA look they understand each other... they're both just two people who don't wanna die
ranger's just here not to die thanks
they're cousins through kai. its meant to be.
THEY ARE it works so well
best part of finally getting my hands on the yttd japanese scripts; knowing that he IS saying daijyoubu at that one point
i need to translate more of that honestly, see what fun deleted scenes there are
shin --> helena grasping at the language of logic in order to express emotion :' )
gagtag ft. his multiple conflicting emotions around making subaru's hot people in yogen list
sfdgfdf i've had typing up the fourth floor info on my to do list for today and it turns out the meeting got cancelled after the stabbing (understandable) so i'll need to rethink it
did not expect lucifer to confess on the network either a LOT is happening rn
I MEAN you could post it anyway just to have the IC info out there and say it happened before the amami thing
if its just IC info dispensary
theoretically... it could just be timed before? yeah... like a backdate
yeah that's what I'm thinking, I've pulled the post and will rewrite it
but for now gonna focus on dinner and bike ride while it's still daylight, i'll come back to it

go have a bike ride!
take some pictures of cool birds
dsfdgd dinner first! but yissss
bike ride and then... glances at joe on the tdm
ooh yes i'll take my phone with me
if we all tagteam that joe with prompt c akghajkfhg
dsfdgfdgfgdfg i'd been eyeing a bc imagine being sent to the nurse after blacking out in class and joe tazuna is there
but.... lily may.... thinking emoji
shin has a migraine and then its
the guy he totally didnt have a hand in killing
i've realised it's even funnier bc joe with wet hair and yogen uniform... who is this mysterious chapatsu student shin has never seen before
it's going to be so incredibly awkward
while the character sexualities is going around: i've mentioned it before but... gay-leaning bi, hella repressed :' )
he's had tiny puppy crushes that never went anywhere and right now there's like A Lot so it's kind of at the bottom of the priority list
oh no poor shin
he's having some... revelations
shin --> helena i'm tulpaing an electric kettle into the dorms, the home ec room won't miss it probably.
googles okay yeah they had them in the nineties
the voltage in japan is half as much tho so it might take a while?
but we're on ghost electricity anyway, it's fine
unrelated but i now know why americans microwave their tea
LISTEN I FINALLY UNDERSTAND
IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE VOLTAGE
YOUR KETTLES CAN'T REACH THE TEMPERATURE FAST ENOUGH
so it's easier and faster to microwave
shin --> sara what good is a top bunk if not for leaning down from
he doesn't know how midori actually does what he does
i'm very glad this question came up in the meta plurk bc otherwise i'd have been sitting here a lot longer like 'what DOES he think about this'
Also bit belated but while I'm up north people keep putting on loud classical music for hours which is nice but not conducive to my adhd train of thought keeping to the same track, so tags are probably gonna slow down for the next 8 days as a headsup.
if he gets any more paranoid he's going to start imagining eyes on the walls
i'm crying because i'm a nerd but not shin's particular brand of nerd so i have to outsource things sometimes
but also i love the irony wrt yttd in particular
shin --> noah i'm crying shin's opinion of clamor just went through the floor for absolutely no good reason at all
i love how chaotic this has been already
i love 'thing that expresses a character's emotions by itself' as a trope so much
you hurl his body like the football???
JAIL FOR SARA. JAIL FOR ONE MILLION YEARS
THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE MOOD
if midori's brain has catgirl affirmations, shin just has that tweet on loop
"your claws are SO sharp" "you CAN do whatever you want" "that thing is absolutely yours to knock on the floor"
i love whenever shin and sara have sibling energy honestly
the joke au where she's his bio sib instead of kanna never fails to make me grin they'd hate it
STOP PRETENDING YOU'RE DEAD!!!!!
sometimes you can still hear my voice.....
he's like double dead but they all are right now really
pretending he's triple ded
if shin dies here sara burns the laptop in an attempt to summon him back via outrage
honestly that stands a good chance of working :' )
it's like a reverse seance
just shows up like what are you doing!!???
shin just peeling himself out of the wisteria like i have no memories but i know someone is doing Crimes
she just gives the remains back to him like anyway you're my roommate and he's just like 'no??? what,'
shin --> helena me halfway through this tag squinting at yttd like wait hang on IS this a literary reference
belatedly putting these after the fact for book keeping purposes, but i love when a thread captures my attention so much i forget to do this
i keep being like 'okay i'll stop and give clamor a chance to reply' but now for real promise
helps i have a flight soon
every day I think about the implications that way back in the mists of time of yttd's first drafts, shin and joe might have been one character that got split in two to make them
i keep spinning it
who are you, ichihara touma
"A delicate, gentle man
Like a flower
Like a dog
Has a peaceful like feeling
However there's no light in his eyes and inside there's an ill feeling
Even though he's a working member of society
Even though he's grown-up
He looks cute
Has the image of a shiba inu
Slender and tall
Maybe it's because he's uneasy from the get go, as such, he's grabbing onto something"
and his hair's brown(?) with white tips
his provenance of shin is a little clearer, but it's an intriguing idea
(the one on the left is proto-keiji)
shin --> joe honestly it says a lot whenever shin allows physical contact, that guilt huh
that's all today's ones, on to trying to clear inbox and tag out
okay that didn't happen... tomorrow, another attempt, rip
I'm working on doing the end-of-the-month bonus AC roundup so if we have a thread with less than five comments lemme know!
also hm. i WANT to tag out but it's like. the 27th so... hm
:' ) i just died this month but I made AC so I'm happy
I'm at peace for making more rp plans than'll actually eventuate at this point, like tossing seeds on the ground, but do poke me if we were like 'this would be cool!!' together and it didn't happen but you still want to do it
being a bit vague with 'whatever's been made' but.... they've got something
hehehe i see u there pspspspsps
shin --> komaeda i'm crying shin is no longer even pretending to like komaeda but they're in this hand in unloveable hand now
日和
4 years ago @Edit 4 years ago
would you like a very dumb doll?
: DDD holds u hand
yes please
me: okay time for another tag
nms: posts
me: okay wait hang on
a shin is for life, not just for christmas
was gonna tag inaba but it's past midnight now so... tomorroww
shin --> joe i'm so sorry joe you're getting the 'that toothpastey stuff?' shin listening to anecdote treatment
the heart wants to tag but whatever is going on in my skull is saying no so that's it for tonight i think
tomorrow... narumi thread my beloved
shin --> joe hey have you heard about ~majority votes~ i mean death school
i did... not intend him to become Guy What Gives Tutorials but he's done it twice now. does suit him tho
shin --> nene writing this tag while hungry is honestly the best idea
i have... not much idea of how the computer details will go or enough knowledge to bounce ideas so it's gonna be support role and handwaving mostly\
shin --> helena getting oh so close to shin actually talking about midori is he going to do it lads
i keep thinking about it and lying on the floor about it, that thought of like. shin being so used to an enviroment of implication and double meaning and things being picked up on like it or not that he. really does have trouble struggling to communicate because of it
it's the same in the narumi thread, he really thought he was being clear about there being a bomb
this is why he's restricted to weirdo to weirdo communcation :' )
shin --> helena sports announcer voice we've got a real nailbiter right now folks
shin --> helena it's interesting bc he's both opening up and deliberately moving things back into safer waters
shin --> narumi thread that moment on replaying yttd when you realise shin has no idea what he's doing, actually
i feel like this is an accurate description of everyone in the game. they all think they know what they're doing and then are like oh man i fucked up
it really is :' ) shin's just a little better at fooling the audience for a while, i'll give him that much
and the funny thing is he's doing the same thing in reverse with sara
she's not some evil mastermind she just likes jam, shin
everyone is just. trying Their Best, i love them
it really is part of what makes them feel so real and human
it really is, I love them too and none of them deserve any of this. shin is good at fooling you though until he isn't and then it's just like oh okay you're just another sad kid
:''' ) i want to gather them all in my arms and take them away
it's sad kids all the way down
it kills me that like. nobody is having a good time. and it's still happening anyway
rolls in later with a thought after getting distracted
i think that's part of why I like it so much, because I have a fascination with systems and how myriad things contribute to them going wrong or producing terrible outcomes
i mean, he does sit on them, but it's interesting... i think it works here partly because he has seen how sharing info with a group can work
helps if it's stuff that could already be worked out or is already known by others
makes me glad i didn't pick logic route sou, who tips even further on the 'why should I tell you?' scale
ohhh that response i am being destroyed
shin --> helena local man showing exactly how far he's come and how far he has to go at the exact same time
shin --> helena im. honestly so glad he's had four months of positive cr with people bc this conversation really is a test of everything he's learnt
it'd've been so easy for his hackles to go up at the idea that helena is deliberately trying to steer conversations with him, or get defensive about the idea she's feeling sorry for him, or any myriad of ways this could have gone worser than it already has
but... while he's missing a lot still he's still... able to sort of step back and look at this much and try
it helps that like, that's four months of cr with her specifically, on top of his his own personal trust fall with himself and the foundation of that cr
watches.....................
sdfdsd you can tell this thread is like. hyperfixation city right now
shin --> narumi thread i'm an adult with a house and a car and a mortgage and if i drop a bag of my favourite chips on the ground i don't cry about it
i do find it funny he's like 'what if i combined my paranoia with narumi's paranoia... okay that's too much paranoia put it back'
ooh so close
i just need one more post in one more september thread to get this month's wish list
now for his inventory
i know he got two items and lost one
i'll... do the merit math at some point, time for a break today
okay i lied, he has ~ minus seven merit points, next month he'll be able to buy things again!
this is like, just based off attendance and assuming he's not been helping around the school or doing extra credit... but it's a fair assumption
minus seven :' )
because i overspent at the rock gacha
he's had 83 non-holiday days here and bought a total of nine rocks for ninety merit points
he could have spent yen but... I don't think he has any of that either rip
shin --> noah self indulgent headcanon about diegetic game mechanics corner
thankfully shin is nerdy enough to canonly think of it this way even if it's not a Thing
oh right there's been narumin thread posts too
i love everyone in this bar
i was going to get something else but i was like 'you know what would hurt? if he manifested a phone so much he woke up with that canon one in his pocket'
can't wait for him to pretend he doesn't own that plush either
and finally got the sense share ability! he's no Helena, but his hearing is pretty good apparently if you want it (he's got fourth highest foraging score in ytts so something must be going for him), and maybe he'll be able to be given other people's senses in the same way
