*Enemies of the Heir Beware. Let's Play Magical Diary~!

I TOTALLY WANT YOU TO GO FOR DAMIEN SOLI-CHAN HE WAS MY SECOND VISUAL NOVEL TRUE LOVE.
I really, REALLY have a thing for Damien.

I vote for NOT RUNNING FOR TREASURER NOR ANYTHING, 'cause I want to go against the flow, and I will lose anyway.

Virginia's character design is actually my second favourite in the entire game (first is Damien, of course *sigh*), but her hair is so amazing it is hands down THE best hairstyle in the game (..................except Damien's. Of course. *sigh*).

I don't really like Virginia's hair... Am I the only one?

I love Virginia's hair, for some reason.

Damien's okay, but...

Oh god it's almost 7:30 in the morning why am I still awake.

Once again:

All these spoilers must be torture for Soli-chan :(.

Oops. I guess I better stop now.

This is pretty jampacked, we just got out of finals and stuff are already happening! Okay so I’m a bit confused that we don’t just get to choose to run right after being told that but I guess you have to wait till later in the week? Well anyhow, I opted to study to increase intelligence but something interrupts our scholarly vigil before long. Donald is furtively skulking in the doorway and there’s a package that wasn’t there before.


Ohohoho actually tries to help the guy by giving him an excuse but Donald just isn’t the type to keep it together. Especially when people are killing you with kindness and witty bantering so he eventually admits to being in the midst of pranking Virginia with a box of cat poop. The reason for such goes into family dynamics again, being that he believes her to be quite spoiled and lazy etc.


THIRD OPTION = SPEAKING SOLI’S LANGUAGE. Let us partake in mayhem~! So apparently the plan is to let Virginia think that Balthasar (the senior who likes plants and was her partner for Initiation) has feelings for her. And I must admit, it makes sense since the fertilizer can be used to grow things.

She comes by later and…does not recognize the thing for what it is. Even with the smell. But other than that it’s relatively anticlimactic. Virginia’s set on dumping it somewhere to see if it’ll grow by itself and will likely not talk to Balthasar. I kind of wonder about him actually…


Geh! Busy indeed, yeesh. Kyo here is turning down an opportunity to get soundly thrashed by us in favor of soliciting us for advice. Romantic advice, because “you’re a girl and I like- I mean a friend of mine likes this girl but he doesn’t know how to proceed”. HAHAHAHAHA OH YOU CAME TO THE WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD.

~*Days of Our Angsty Teenage Lives*~ Counter:

1. Blow off parents because ew, so uncool

2. Chase after unsavory bad boy character

3. Ruin a life with your horrid advice

Annnnd Magical Diary is satisfying what little energy I usually expend on being sociable outside of being a burrito blanket. Lawks but yes, easy merits? I’m already there just say when and where!


So it turns out Donald has an in with the Headmaster and we get to chatting most amiably over a spot of gardening. I gotta admit, this was a pretty peachy experience. He digs up a little snail and is on the whole, rather agreeably awesome.


Ugh. So the game sticks sometimes on empty boxes and then text scrolls really fast. By which point I’ve already hit for next messages and I didn’t really catch all of that but this is the important part really. LET US RULE THE WORLD FROM BEHIND THE SCENES AND WITH ALL THE MONIES~!


So we get back to the room and Virginia’s ecstatic, because the other opponent is a right fathead and she’d rather see anyone else get the seat. She trots off chortling and plotting. Which leaves us with Ellen. Who seems rather unaware of the power in tag team sibling style. Oh and this talk has been a long time coming.


Wooooooooow, so this brings back memories. Truly, the epitome of young love and...and youthfulness. So it falls to Ohohoho to make the pep talk and lay it to Ellen straight. That hey, qurl, all hope is not lost! Confessing to your crush is not an insurmountable task and buck up because you're plenty lovely as a person and really, y'all know how it goes. Sappiness abounds, and it is dorky <3


Eheh, I’ve been playing too much Tokimemogs. I gather this is an event that triggers when your stress level goes above 50 for the first time. But it’s not all that alarming to someone used to playing at 80-90.

Oho, now isn’t that a turn up. So it appears William isn’t available for strategizing because the Seniors get to skip out and attend a festival instead. There’s Food and food and food and food and really, food. Oh and some dance at the end but gaaargh not fair that they get to stuff their faces!


*examines* So this little thing appeared after dinner and was nearly sent spinning down the hall because Virginia thought it was another Balthasar token. But it opens to A DELICIOUSLY DESCRIBED APPLE PIE. AUGH.

Why have the authors taken such needless lengths for this small thing?! In any case, Virginia figures it’s a gift from a senior and offers William as the person. Ellen rather vehemently disagrees, for obvious reasons annnnnd honestly I’m stumped myself. BUT NONE OF THIS MATTERS.




THERE’S AN OPTION WHERE YOU CAN EAT THE ENTIRE THING. And hence Damien’s pocket knife found it’s first use: Pie conquering. (Gladly takes the stat drop in strength and increase in stress)


The hell is this.


Wait, what? Wait, I have to work with Grabiner? Guys? Are, is this right? I mean, surely he’s got better things to do then this…There’s no possible reason for him to be I mean, wouldn’t it make more sense to have some upperclassmen because a system like that just feeds into itself and FUCK, ACTUALLY, BEING A TREASURER PLACES YOU PERFECTLY IN POSITION TO BE CLOSE TO GRABINER

YOU JERKS, I BELIEVED IN YOU

*is now just rolling around on the floor because I should have checked after Nerys post, also HAHAHA TRUST Nebty MY BROKEN TEAPOT*

Hablargh. I am so going to sabotage every chance I get.

I told you not to run for anything.

I'm so sorry Soli-chan ;____; (Y-you could always savescum? I guess?)

Well, I suppose I did put it up for debate. /le takes that brick

Wait does the same thing happen if you're running for president? D:
Just gimme this one, I can deal with not knowing any other bits although seeing spoilertags explode is a bit terrifying/exciting.

No, it doesn't. :3

*patpats* Naaawwww, actually it'll be okay. It just surprised me is all. I only savescum when it comes to difficult levels on games that require dexterity etc etc. And this is kind of more about the journey with all of you guys. (Also I got to call you jerks so we're pretty even.)

Also your avatar is simply fascinating.

Aww thanks! It's the Medicine Seller from Mononoke! It's an amazing, artsy anime, you should check it out. :D

I can't talk because it will just be spoilertags everywhere, but thank you Soli-chan for returning to this. I... may have to go back and complete my ending set, I haven't done all of them yet.

Rule number one of BrokenForum: Never trust any of the brokenforumites when it comes to voting in an otome game.

True story. We will sneak you onto Grabiner path yet. *steeples fingers together*

Or, you know, Damien, because the crazy.

That was your first mistake.

No, but that's only because there's no way to win. Virginia was right.

:3

Oh, poor Soli

/cackles evilly

You should have seen this coming Soli-chan, the forum-goers get what the forum-goers want.

It's ok, there's still a 50% a chance that this won't go horribly, horribly wrong!

Oh, this is precious *snerk*

I went after Grabiner and ONLY Grabiner. Been eying him since the trailers got out. I dig older men. All the other options? Too young and sparkly. I mean, when I first played, my character was NEAR IDENTICAL to Damien. Dude, I don't want to date my blue-demon-twin-male-sister.

Anyways. This is my delurking post. Hi.

d_a_renoir, welcome! Might I suggest putting that part about Damian in spoiler tags, since OP is playing this blind?

In case you don't know how:
[ spoiler ] "your spoiler here" [ / spoiler ]
without the spaces

Oh bamboozles, I totally forgot I was seeing all those Damien discussion in the spoiler tags.Okay, I'll edit the post.

I fail to see how "flowers are overdone, give her a wind-up dinosaur" is bad advice. Just about everybody I have ever crushed on, male or female, would prefer the dinosaur.

But of course! Why would anyone prefer flowers over the dinosaur?

And even if they don't prefer it, getting your crush a wind-up dinosaur instead of flowers is a better test of whether they're someone you'd like to date.
