Let's Play: Black Wolves Saga -Bloody Nightmare-

I finally have some free time today to do a small update, and what better way to spend it than watch Guillan torture someone and get his rocks off on it.



We're back to the wolves!! They've razed and murdered another village. ( ._.) There's pretty much no one left. It was a village nearby the beautiful Shallmessan forest. Guillan is in the middle of torturing a soldier/knight by slowly choking him, for information. I really can not do his craziness justice by just dryly detailing it like I have so far, so this will be the cliffiest of cliffnotes (and I really want to get this done quick >_>)



Guillan lets the ropes go, giving the knight space to breathe. He's repeated this many times already. And just as soon he loosened the ropes, he's already tied them back. Guillan demands to hear more about the situation in the capital, but the knight just begs for death. Guillan calls him an idiot, because then he wouldn't get to coax the answer out of him. Guillan loves to have the answer slip out in his suffering, choking the knight to the point that his eyes pop out. It's the best feeling. The knight pleads again, and Guillan laughs in his face.



Eventually Arles comes over to ask if Guillan's learned anything. He's gotten something, but he doesn't really understand it. Guillan starts strangling the knight again, demanding that he repeat what he's said. The knight can only convulse and drool. Arles tells Guillan not to waste time and tell him already. Rath comments on how cruel Guillan is. Guillan retorts back that this is normal.



Guillan finally reports to Arles what he knows. It seem there's a rumor that the king is dying. Guillan doesn't really know much about stuff like the king because it doesn't interest him, but Arles seems to know that he's referring to Garibaldi VI. He says he has a debt from a long time ago. (He has a debt, or he's indebted...??) Guillan remembers that Arles used to be a knight of Weblin. Arles brushes that aside, asking if there was anything about cat twins taking power due to the dying king. Guillan says there was something like that. Things have gotten pretty scary with the twins doing as they please(?). Arles isn't surprised. Guillan goes on to say more, that there's something about a witch in a tower manipulating the wolves. She might be connected to someone in the "Grei-something" knight squadron. Arles asks if he means "Greifritter" (I reallllly hope this is the way it's pronounced/spelled! :'3). Guillan asks Arles if they are being controlled by a witch, and Arles tells him no to be foolish.

Suddenly, Guillan thinks of something super-fantastic. If King Garibadli VI is dying, then it's the perfect time to attack the capital. Wouldn't it be great if they killed everyone, and there were only Wolves in Weblin? Arles just sighs, which really hurts Guillan, abloobloobloo. Arles asks Rath what he thinks, and Rath doesn't have an opinion. Guillan is surprised that the newcomer is speaking up, he thought the Zodeiba had already gone to his head. Rath explains that he doesn't talk because he doesn't feel like it. Guillan starts to get really annoyed. It's a habit for newbies to stay quiet, and he accuses Rath of hiding behind his older brother, Arles.



Guillan jumps at Rath, but he defends himself. Rath threatens to kill Guillan, and they get in a fight.

: Kill! I should kill you! Since I'm already dead!

: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Getting hotheaded?

The screen flashes.

: My eyepatch...! Give it back!!

: You want it back? Aah, what's the point, though? You're sick with Zodeiba, so isn't it over for you?

: Hyahahaha! You want pity?!

: ...Give it back!!

Rath makes a grab for it, but Guillan pulls it out of his way.

: Moooron, I'm not givin' it back.

: Kill, kill.... I'll kill you!!!

: Ooii, tell me more! Throw your entire instinct into it! Show me your nature!!

Guillan heckles Rath some more, accusing him of always just pretending to be nice, or hiding behind Arles, or using the eyepatch to hide his blind eye when he should just gouge it out. Rath takes his daggers out and makes to kill Guillan, but Arles steps in to stop them. They oblige, but Guillan gets rather peeved that Arles pampers Rath so. He's gonna sulk if Arles doesn't praise him for the info he's acquired.



Arles: Your questioning went well to find this good information, Guillan.

Guillan: Yup, this puppy swells from being praised. (??? you get the idea.)

twitchy earsssssssss :3c



Arles can see that Rath is still disturbed by something. He asks what's up, and Rath clarifies if the witch's tower that Guillan talked about is the one in the forest.

: Something like that? But she's been taken to the capital.

Rath: ... A witch.

Suddenly, they hear galloping horses. Guillan asks Arles if they should chase them, but Arles decides for their forces to withdraw. Guillan is.... disappointed, but complies.



Guillan: Whoops... Yo! Newbie. Here's your eyepatch back... I'm returning it because of Arles.

Rath just gives a slight grunt of approval.



Guillan: Now, then... looks like this toy is at its end.

The knight just lets out a weak groan, his eyes blank.

Guillan: Hyaha! Nice sound. Feels pleasant... gives me shivers.

He sounds so effing creepy here, just O_O i dont even know

Finally, Guillan strangles the knight's neck until he breaks his bones. A disappointing end to a prolonged, painful torture.

Guillan: Here we go! You guys, get outta here!

At Guillan's command, the surrounding wolves scatter into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.

: A witch, huh...

Rath muttered to himself, and stayed in his spot until the very last minute, looking up toward the tower.


I'll try to take video later because this section is kinda short, and Guillan is just cray cray.

Edit: what an image for the top of a new page

Rath is cute. Uh, you know, besides the whole "Kill. Kill. I'll kill you" thing...

... I did a really shitty update with this one, actually >_> My notes were all over the place, I was trying to multitask, and I was trying to get it done as quickly as possible, etc. etc. If it's not clear, and if I remember right, Rath snaps at Guillan and threatens to kill him because Guillan is taunting him about something or other.

Rundown of Important Things That Happened in that Update:

• Wolves ransacked another town
• The Wolves now know that the king is dying
• The Wolves learn about the Witch rumors
• Rath has Zodeiba/Zodeiva (I just realized there's that whole v/b thing with Japanese, gdi.... I'll just stick to Zodeiba for consistency's sake)
• Rath doesn't like his blind eye being uncovered
• Rath is familiar with Fiona's tower
• Guillan has some serious issues, but you don't need me to tell you that.

I love Guillan~
God, it's always the psychos. I CAN'T HELP IT
THEY'RE SO CRUEL AND EVIL AND YET SO GLEEFUL
And it's somehow more innocent than the whole "hey let's torture your bunny servant for no reason" thing the cats did and all their calculated cruelty. Spur-of-the-moment evil!
It's so adorable yet cruel. The two things I love the most. ;w; They love what they do and what they do is murder!

... and I love that laugh of his. I just wanna snug the guy, hyahaha~ Hoping for that video soon!

... thank you for reminding me orz



Let me know if the audio levels make it hard to hear.

Hyaaahahaha~ Oh, how I love him. Idly talking to his leader and totally forgetting to stop strangling his victim throughout, his taunting Rath, and that LAUGH. <3 Love it~ (Did he actually apologize to Arles? Sounded like he said "sorry... but, *???*" when told not to pursue. Aww, so sad when he doesn't get to kill things.)

Have to admit he is being a LITTLE creepy when enjoying his prey's death groan though. Guess that's just what he loves. On the bright side, with that glazed-over look I don't think the knight was really conscious enough to feel much when killed.
(How are you supposed to romance him without dying ...? I may have a theory, hee...)

The audio levels are fine, thanks!

Oooo, I wanna know your theory! I think Guillan has a good end, bad end, and a "true end". Him and Julian are the only ones with true ends, I think because they're only in Bloody Nightmare. Last Hope, which is a retelling (and I think coming out soon? Or has come out already?) replaces them with the puppies and Elsa. So, since Guillan has 3 endings... Fiona's gotta live in at least one of them.... right..... orz

At this point, I'm thinking (only thinking!) that I might do Julian and Guillan after Auger. Julian because hnnnnngh, Guillan because everyone is curious how the hell it plays out. But free time, what is that

Well, I can only guess so far, but Fiona's stuck in a castle with the cats.
Wolves just found out she's there.
And all the wolves have routes.

It makes sense that the wolves would kidnap her or otherwise storm the castle, right? It's the only way for her to really meet them unless she decides to run out into the forest for no reason. Guillan seems to love killing things too much to really care who the zodeiba witch is, much less interact with her normally, but he obviously cares a lot about what Arles thinks of him (thus the demands for praise and obeying what he's told). So what if Arles orders him to be nice and not kill you(possibly guard you but I kinda doubt he'd want to leave that duty in the hands of someone so unpredictable), and that's why you can hang around him? He'd hate to upset Arles after all.

He'd probably do a lot of taunting or "what makes you so special?" type stuff at first though, since I can't imagine he'd like having to tip-toe around a human. Still, because it's Arles orders, you'd be safe from his sadistic psycho urges. Bad end, yeah, I'm 90% sure you'll end up dead. Good end and True end though... I have no idea. SOMEONE will probably end up dead.

I missed the stream you guys did, so I dunno how far ahead you are and may be totally wrong, but for now that's my guesswork. I'd totally play Guillan's route myself if getting things translated wasn't such a chore.

I see I see, that's about what I've speculated too XD This next part is what I streamed up to, and it includes a detail that could add to your theory... I'm making it right now, so we'll see soon enough :3

!!!
I love them both so much (maybe Guillan a bit more?). So if you do LP one of their routes, it's going to be a tough vote T_T

But despite all my love for Julian, I'd love for you guys to see Guillan's route. Surprisingly, I think it's one of the more romantic routes of BWS and my favourite route too. Well, romantic for this game, haha.

That's... Okay, that's just funny. The INSANE TORTURER has one of the most romantic routes? I've got to see this!

Doesn't speak well for the rest of the cast, but I guess unlike most people Guillan has no reason to manipulate you or your loved ones. *Glances over at the cats*

Yup! Believe it or not but I feel like in the end he was one of the few who loved Fiona for who she was and not because of other circumstances (won't say anymore 'cause it'll be explained later on in the LP). His route also had some really funny moments. Plus, the way he speaks is just hilarious. Though it is a pain to translate...

Well, that's...... I don't know how to feel about that O_O

We're on Auger's route. You'll see soon enough, lol

Well yea, I wasn't expecting love from Auger, but....

BLAH >_<

haha, I know I know. :p

I think it depends on who you ask, but to me the ones who truly loved Fiona were: Guillan, Julian, and Zara. But that's just how I felt at the end, others may say differently.

It makes sense, really! We know for a fact that the cats have ulterior motives, and if Arles is after the girl then he's got to have some too. But when you're crazy, it's really hard to keep your attention on some elaborate plan or whatever will happen in the far-off future. So, if he bothers with her it's because he likes her.

I still find it hilarious though.

~In Fiona's Room~

Today, Mejojo and Auger were visiting Fiona in the garden. They were having lunch together. It was a sudden, unexpected visit so Fiona was worried, but everything seems t be alright. As expected of the royal castle, a suitable meal for two princes was prepared with surprising swiftness. A live orchestra was set up as well, and the music floated inside from the window.

: (A live band, as well... it's beyond amazing.)

As a nobleman's daughter, Fiona was pampered and spoiled throughout her life, but she thinks it's nothing compared to the royal family. Fiona dismisses the thought, though.

: ... Is something the matter?

: No, it's nothing. Thank you.

Julian can sense Fiona's uneasiness, because they've had many conversations together since their first meeting (?). Today, he's come to set the table for the three of them. The dishes came to the table one after the other, and were arranged beautifully.

: (... Julian, isn't it complicated?)

Mejojo and Auger are his younger half-brothers, and Julian was originally a prince, same as them. No, Julian should have been the first heir to the throne, but now they've settled into the relationship of Master and servant.

: (They were younger brothers before, but now, it's like the situation has reversed. Don't they think about that?)(?)

These thoughts keep bothering Fiona, so she decides to quietly wait and see what happens.



Auger: Aah, this food and wine pairing is quite nice~ I like it. What do you think, Nii-san?

Mejojo: ...I agree. I think it is not bad, either. Julian, did you choose this?

: Yes. I did choose the pairing. Are you pleased?

Please tell me you poisoned their food and wine, Julian, PLZ

: Mmmhmm, I like it a lot. Deliver the wine to my room later on!

: Certainly. Is there anything I can do for Mejojo-sama?

: I am fine. However, since I am pleased by this pairing, serve it again another time.

: Understood. I shall do so.

: .....

: (Is it a good relationship?)

The atmosphere that flowed between those three people was completely similar to a master and servant. Surely, if Fiona wasn't told beforehand that they were brothers, she would have no idea. But because she does know, her mood feels very different. (?) Still, there was no awkwardness between the three of them; Julian as servant, and Mejojo and Auger as the Master.

: ...pff...

: ...?

While watching the three of them, Fiona sensed Auger turn his gaze on her for a fleeting moment and let out a small chuckle. But, maybe it was just her imagination. When she looked over at him, he was looking away (?).

: Fiona, have you gotten used to living here?

: Ah, yea. I get along very well with Julian and the CCK.

: Is that so? If you are dissatisfied with anything, come to me immediately. Got it?

mejojo what is up with your face
and fiona, tell mejojo that you are dissatisfied with him
SAY IT IM BEGGING YOU

: Thank you.

: (Complaints, huh...)

Fiona didn't lie to Mejojo. It's true that she gets along well with Julian and the CCK. She understands that she's here for protection from the people's accusations, but it feels stagnant (?).

: (Even so...)

Fiona turns to gaze out the window.

: What? What is the matter?

: Still... I still want to see the world outside. After all, I don't know anything about it.

Since childhood, Fiona has grown up in the tower. And now, she lives in the sky garden of the royal castle. From the tower, and now, here. Fiona agrees that it's a beautiful place, but... even though it's forbidden to her, she is still curious about the world outside. This garden is just identical to her time in the tower.



Mejojo: ... That is foolish. There is nothing good in the outside world and the like.

Auger: That's right. Doncha remember how those villagers looked at you?

Fiona: ... yeah.

They wouldn't listen, and the villagers accused Fiona of being a witch. They wouldn't budge from their decision. But, surely not everyone is malicious in the outside world. It couldn't be like that all over Weblin? Fiona knows that life is full of difficulty on the outside. Wolf attacks. The fatal disease Zodeiba. The outside world is full of horrible things.

: .....

(Still... I want to see. I want to go wherever I want with freedom. Freedom.... I want to know what that's like.)

Oh snap, I'm sympathizing with an otoge protag!! What, are you gonna grow a personality too?! Don't get carried away, now!

: I live in luxury, I understand that. I've lived my life without any discomforts...

: Quite right. I cannot understand why you would want to go outside. Perhaps, the world I have prepared for you here is insufficient?

: What questions could you have? Here, it is beautiful, calm, and peaceful.

: Yeah...

: (Really... it's as Mejojo says.)

nuuuu hang onto your dreams Fiona! With all your strength!! ;_;

In the castle, even if Fiona does nothing, meals are offered to her, and she can do what she likes all day long. The people around her, that she comes in contact with, respect her. She has a roof over her head, and she can live comfortably. The scenery is also beautiful.

: (... What is there to be unhappy about?)

Fiona doesn't know. She doesn't know why... why she still yearns for the outside world. Suddenly, a wind blows through the window, as if inviting her thoughts outside (?). Then there's the sounds of small, clinking footsteps of the leader of the CCK running under their seats.

: ...Hm?

: What? I am in the middle of eating. If this is something trivial...

: ...*whisper whisper*...

: ...Oh?...

: (Did something happen?)

Though Mejojo first tried to shut up Leonidas and drive him away, his appearance turned unusual as he heard the whispered report.

: ... Indeed, hm. Your reward. NATTSU Nuts.

Mejojo took out a cloth bag from his breast pocket and took out one nut, handing it to Leonidas. Leonidas looked amazed, and very happy.

: (... Even though he still won't accept any nuts from me, yet.)

Only for a moment, Fiona feels a useless rivalry burn with Mejojo.

yes yes... let the hatred flow through you...

: (No, I know that it's because the CCK swore their loyalty to Mejojo.)

orz

: Oi.

excuuuzeh moi, Fiona has a name, sir. USE IT.

: What?~

: When you are finished eating, let's go out. I will show you the world, as you wanted.

: ...!

: (What happened for these turn of events? Until a little while ago, he looked disgusted with the idea...)

At the time when Fiona revealed that she wanted to go outside, Mejojo furrowed his brows, and it clearly looked like he detested the thought. Nevertheless, it seems something interesting happened, and now he's in a good humor about it now (?).

Yea. We've seen how Mejojo's mood swings can turn out. >_>

: (It's... a little scary.)

Going into the outside world with Mejojo... What will Fiona really see?

After they finished eating, they got ready to go at once. A horse was prepared for Mejojo and Fiona; they would be riding together. Then, they went outside (?). The world outside spread out all around them..... The nature of Weblin was vibrant. A beautiful forest surrounded them. It was hard to think of the country being violated by an epidemic. The horse galloped away from the royal capital, and they traveled for a while, until they came upon a certain village.



Fiona: What.... Is this...



Mejojo: Do you not understand what you see? This is a village.

Auger: Ahaha, Nii-san, of course she can't see that. This was a village.

Fiona: .......

Fiona was at a loss for words with the scene right in front of her. Before her eyes, smoke still rose from the houses lined up together. Most were already burnt, the fire dying down. Until yesterday, people would be living in them, but now they were mountains of rubble.

: ... Here, what's become of the people who lived here...?

: They might have been eaten by the Wolves. Look, do you see? That black mass over there.

: ...Uh. What is...?

: Haha, you need me to say it? Do you want to hear it?

: Ahaha, it's a former hu~man. But now, it's just a hunk of meat.

: What?!

: (I asked what happened to the villagers... Mejojo pointed to that black mass... It can't be....)

: Ugh....!

Fiona shudders, feeling nauseous. She didn't want to think that that used to be a human. She didn't want to imagine it.

: Leftovers, eh~ Jeez, they should have just eaten everyone so we wouldn't have to clean up after them.

i know, by now, i shouldn't still be shocked, but oh my god i cant take this

: (Why... How can they look at this with such a straight face? This... This violent scene....)

Fiona thought about it, and was convinced immediately at the next moment. This cruel scene shocked Fiona because she's never seen it before. But for Mejojo and Auger, and for the knights they've brought along, surely this scene is not unusual. Perhaps, such a scene is not unusual in the outside world. Therefore... therefore, Mejojo took Fiona outside to show her reality.

: (This... reality. This is the world outside.)

Father and Nesso. Zara as well, they all wanted to protect her from it for a long time.


: Mejojo-sama! In the forest nearby, we have discovered Wolves that have strayed from the pack...!!

: ...Oh. Well, since they are possibly still here, set the preparations.

: "Preparations"...? What are you going to do...?

: What? We're going hunting. Isn't this the kind of thing you wanted to experience?

we are reaching critical asshole mass, people



Fiona: Err....

Auger: I'm so excited, it's your first hunt! Though, you might say, the game is wolves instead of foxes!



Mejojo: Release the hounds! Other than our knight escort, everyone will participate in the hunt!

At Mejojo's order, the knights in the platoon separated, and one group galloped with their horses toward the forest.

: (Hunting... Is this the Wolf hunting genocide decree that I've heard about...?)

Hunting is a past-time for nobles, but of course, since Fiona lived in the tower, she had never participated before... According to stories from Nesso and Zara, it's not unusual for women to participate in the hunt, and it's typical for nobles to sponsor hunts (?). From the start, if Fiona was pushed to say, she would say that this hunt looks like a show (?). The falcons and dogs were released, running by the horses as they hunt their quarry.

: (Should I watch...?)

As Fiona realizes that she has to watch this wolf-hunting, a chill runs down her spine. Wolf hunting...

: Mejojo...!

Fiona didn't want to watch. She wanted to return to the castle... but Mejojo looked back at her, smiling.

: This is the "reality" that I wanted you to see. Look!

Mejojo says something like "Look firmly", buuuut I'm at a loss as how to English-ize that. >_> The engrish is getting to me.
Or, alternatively, he says, "AND NOW, I WILL REVEAL THE END OF THE WORLD, TO YOU AS WELL......." /lamejoke

The horses galloped into the forest. In order not to get thrown off, Fiona clung to the back of Mejojo's body. However, Fiona sure sure that she's clinging on to him for more than just that reason.

Knight 1: Over there...!! I'm heading that way... !!

Knight 2: Corner it!! Make sure it doesn't escape... !!

Wolf 1: Gyuan...!! *dead*

Fiona: *gasp!!*

When I say *gasp*, the sound Fiona makes varies throughout the scene, but *gasp* covers the meaning. Use your imagination~

Fiona wants to cover her ears, to block out the angry voices, the jeers, the screams. The forest overflowed with the noise. The knights under Mejojo's command hunted and cornered all the wolves lurking in the forest, one after another. Urged on by the dogs, chased by horses, and when cornered, stabbed with a lance.



Knight 3: There's one over there!

Knight 2: Chase it down! Corner it!

Knight 1: Don't let any of these dirty wolves live!

Mejojo: That one, it's escaping!

: *gasp!!*

Fiona still clung to Mejojo's back. Is she asking for help? Or asking him to stop? Even Fiona doesn't know. Chased by dogs and horses, the wolves run about, trying to escape. One was covered with scratches, but gets shot by an arrow. It's movement slows down, becomes dull, until it is skewered. (?) Only the tragic corpse of a wolf remained after the knights ran it through.

: (Cruel...)

Fiona is at a loss for words. She pities these wolves being killed before her, and she wants to call out her feelings. However, her mind also turns to the ruins of the village, that jet-black villager that she saw. If that was done by Wolves, then it's not possible to let them go.



Auger: One went that way, Nii-san!



Mejojo: Like hell it goes free...! Dirty wolf!

Mejojo skillfully manipulates the horse, turning it after the escaping wolf. The wolf tried to claw at the horse, but Mejojo crushed it underfoot.



Auger: Ahahaha, great job, Nii-san! That wolf just looks like a scrap of garbage now!

Mejojo: It was garbage from the start, no? Is it not an appropriate end...! Hahahahaha!!

Mejojo and Auger both seemed to be having a happy time. If you only heard their voices, you might say that the two princes were amusing themselves with some refined sport.

: How about you, Fiona? Having fun?

fuck you

: ......

Fiona doesn't answer Mejojo. Is it strange that Mejojo and Auger can enjoy these things? If they're happy, then is it instead strange to think otherwise? She thinks that she can't judge it.

...what kind of moon logic is this. some things are OBJECTIVELY BAD, FIONA. LIKE GENOCIDE. AND GLEEFULLY MURDERING PEOPLE.

: (Who's the strange one...?)

Fiona feels revolted. She feels her sense of values begin to waver. Her values... are being colored by Mejojo and Auger.

If your morals are shaken that easily, I'm not sure you were that moral to begin with

: (No....)

Fiona doesn't know what is correct and right, but she knows that she feels horribly frightened. Fiona thought Mejojo would get angry that she remained silent, but he only snorted a small laugh.



Mejojo: I will hasten the horse a little more. Hold on tight to me.

Fiona: Oh, okay...

When she hears that, Fiona clung to Mejojo, and they horse began to gallop faster than before.

Mejojo: Heh. I was hoping you would obediently hold on to me.... The climax of the hunt draws near.

oh DONT YOU EVEN START WITH THAT CRAP

: (Climax..?)

STAHP

In the dark, dark forest, there is only the sound of hooves, the sound of knights hunting wolves galloping through.

I KNEW IT.

As soon as Mejojo decided "hey let's show her what's outside" I KNEW he'd go and drag her to the worst scene they could find, just so she'd be terrified of the outdoors and stay inside like a good little girl!

Mejojo, you asshole!

Before long, they exited the forest and approached a cliff.



Fiona: ...Eh?

Looking over the back of Mejojo, Fiona let out an involuntary exclamation when she saw the cornered wolf. Because, there was...



Rath: ......

Fiona: Mejojo, don't. Don't do it. Because, that's...

Mejojo: It is a trick, Fiona. That's a Wolf.

Fiona: That's...

He was cornered, surrounded by many knights, but in every respect, he looked like a young man to Fiona. His one blue eye glared at them.

Fiona: (Why... is this man not in the form of a beast?)

If he takes the form of a human, her guilt only deepens. Could the wolves in the forest also take to form of humans?

Okay, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to Fiona, so since she has no idea about anything because her family is a bunch of sheltering buttheads, she doesn't know that wolves can turn into humans like rabbits, dogs, bunnies, etc. I guess she just didn't assume.

When thinking about that, her chest becomes unbearably tight.



Rath: .....

Fiona: *gasp!*

The young man's glare met with Fiona's stare, and their eyes met for an instant. Whatever the reason, Fiona is still an assailant to him, as a human. Although she tries turns her eyes away in a panic...



Fiona: (What, isn't it...)

His one eye appealed to her, with no anger or hatred. It was filled with nothing but sadness... grief. She can't look away, and that moment felt like an eternity.

Fiona: .....

Rath: .......

This wolf was identical to a young man. It was impossible for the both of them to look away.

...Then.

Mejojo: What are you doing! Kill him already!!

Mejojo's irritated voice resounded.

i repeat: fuck you



Oh, another choice? So soon? The options are "Try to stop them" or "Look away". Can you guess which we have to choose for Auger? I'm sure it's the most merciful one!


: Stop it.... This is, it's detestable...

Fiona muttered a little, turning her eyes away from the tragedy that is about to be carried out before her. Of course she feels that she wants to help him, the young man that is about to be killed at any moment. However, due to what the Wolves did to the village, Fiona felt that she had no right to stop Mejojo and Auger.

How about... human rights? Right to a fair trial? Oh yea, I just remembered why medieval settings suck ass.

Fiona had been raised away from the ugly and frightening things of the world and protected, so she felt that she had no right to save the young man, and that she could not stop them.

: Eh? You won't watch?

When Fiona turned away, she saw Auger's happy smile and cheerful visage peering into her.



Auger: Isn't this the "outside world" that you wished for?

i'm done, i am so done, i am beyond done

The arrows flew past her, and Rath screamed as the arrows pierced him, collapsing to the ground.

: ...*gasp!!*

Even if Fiona didn't see it happen, she turned back around when she heard the sound. Between the knights with bows, there were innumerable arrows, and the young man had succumbed, bleeding out.

: ...*gasp!!*



Rath: Da... damn... Nii-san....

Auger: What? This guy's talkin' about his Nii-san in the common language?



Rath: ...Kill, ...kill, ...kill.... if I don't kill, then....

Auger: Oh really?~ Isn't the one about to die you?!

Auger strikes Rath, causing him to cough painfully.



Auger: Aah~ Don't you think you don't have long anyway? Shouldn't you just quickly die so you stop spreading Zodeiba?

Rath: Hurry... kill, me.....

: This is an interesting Wolf. I have changed my mind. Auger, take him alive.

: Kill.....me.....

Fiona's head is pounding. Before her, everything is dyed in red.

: Listen, Fiona. This is "reality". This is the "reality" you wished to see.



Mejojo: Learn from this experience. Remember this, the next time you wish to go outside. You will only stay in the world that I have created for you. If you leave, it is unforgivable.

: You are mine.

PHYSICALLY CRINGING

While listening to Mejojo, his voice started to get farther and farther away..... Fiona fainted.




Finally finally FINALLY we're done with what I've streamed so far. So from now on, it's entirely new stuff and I have no idea what's going to happen, but I have my suspicions~

realtalk, my LP picture folder for this sequence is "mejojo is an asshole"

I like how the one thing that can stop Mojo from killing someone is them begging to be put out of their misery.

I guess this is how the wolf paths happen; they snag Fiona as a bonus hostage on a rescue mission or Rath breaks out with her or something.

With good reason! Haha, made me chuckle. Not just an asshole, but a possessive manipulative asshole(though I guess that's no surprise). RUN TO THE FOREST, FIONA! RUN!

Poor, poor Rath though... Yeah, I'm sure the wolves won't mind you capturing the leader's brother one bit! I suspected that the named wolves would have strayed behind, probably lucky it was only Rath but still dangit POOR GUY.

... Let's hope they have a medic on-site or something. Rath could very well bleed to death on the way back if they're not careful. (Fiona, take him with you if/when you haul ass out of there.)

Don't forget - Zara is stuck in the castle too!

My impression of the game would go up IMMENSELY if there's some sort of castle/prison-break with Rath, Zara, and Fiona. Aviators, explosions, and red corvettes with flame stripes are not required, but highly recommended.

And pfft, Mojo. Are we... going to give them cutesy pet names to block out the horror...?

~Fiona's room~



Fiona: ...Uh.

Fiona woke up with a blank mind, blinking her eyes. She was staring at a familiar ceiling. This is... her room in the garden.

: (I'm back...)

: ...Guh.

Her sobs welled up from the lump in her throat. Fiona was shown "reality", and she was frightened. She's not in shock from the deaths of the Wolves before her eyes. She's here, returned to the sky garden, and Fiona felt relieved. But still she felt miserable, and couldn't stop sobbing.

(If it's not clear, I *think* she's crying because she's relieved to be back, not because the outside was so scary. She's feels guilty to be relieved, which sorta makes sense.)

: (It's shameful...)

She longed for the world outside. She yearned for freedom. She knew there were horrible things outside, but she thought it was possible to persevere through it. (?) Nevertheless, she's now relieved to be in the sky garden. She was relieved to be protected by Mejojo.

: *sob*... *sob* ... *sob*

She pressed her face into her pillow and cried.

*slow approaching footsteps*

: ...Are you alright?

julian
let's elope
right meow now

Speaking quietly, Julian bent down by Fiona's bedside, and stroked her disheveled hair.

: Julian...? Why...

The sun was down, and it was completely dark outside. Usually, Julian in only together with Fiona while the sun is up and until twilight. So why is he here now?

: Surely... you were crying? I thought you were. I wanted to comfort you, even a little.

WHY
DO I HAVE
TO UNLOCK YOU
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD

: Julian..... *sob* !

It became impossible for Fiona to endure his tender voice, so she got up and fell into him. Fiona sobbed into his chest, while Julian gently stroked her back.



Julian: Fiona. You are... a very beautiful person. Beautiful, kind... gentle. It's that kindness that wounds you. (?)



Julian: You are just like... just like a flower. I cannot do anything for you.... but I'll be near.

: Julian.....



Julian: So... Please do not cry anymore.

Julian's big hand continued to stroke Fiona's back, comforting her like a small child. It's just like when Fiona was a child, when they would embrace her if she had a nightmare.

: ...*sob*



Julian: It's alright! In your case, you will be surely safe.

Julian's kind words continue to comfort her, as moonlight shone down on them. They spent the night in each others arms.

(*´∀`*)


holy shit the beginning of the next part made me jump in my seat, talk about mood whiplash. game. stahp it STAHP IT STAHP I WANT TO RELISH THIS MOMENT ;_______;

~In the underground... laboratory? of Weblin Castle~
~In Mejojo's POV~ (bleh)



It was gloomy in the underground prison. In the castle, it was a profoundly tabbo place. Because the air doesn't circulate, it gets really hot. It gets terribly hot. For generations, the royal family used this cluttered room (?) to imprison and torture traitors, people who disobeyed the royal family. In this room, they were buried in the darkness of history. This demonic dwelling, since who-knows-when, has been called "Mandono" (?). No one knows who came up with the name. Keyword "Mandono": A frightening temple (?) where a lot of demons live.

Mejojo: (... Auger.)

Perhaps it was a tongue-in-cheek joke from Auger, who was walking calmly next to him. It would be typical for him to get it from some poetry. Mejojo's thoughts wander abesnt-mindedly, thinking about these kind of things, as they descend down the hidden stairs to the basement.

From the dim and gloom, Mejojo heard a groan of pain. When Mejojo thinks of it coming from a Wolf, it's music to his ears.



Mejojo: Is the Wolf we captured recently still alive?

Zara: ...Yes. He's still alive. Though, his injuries are severe...

you keep Zara and Rath down HERE? IN THIS PIT?!?!
EEEERRRRRRGHHHHHHHHGHSDKJHSJDJGEHLGKH

: But, because he's a Wolf, his vitality is strong. With decent treatment, his condition could improve.



The one who answered Mejojo's question was a rabbit man, picked up from Nesso and newly employed to the castle. Juat as Mejojo ordered, he had passed on the peculiar medicinal information known to the rabbit species. Mejojo had recieved reports from subordinates that he is obediently helping with their knowledge of pharmacy. Also, it seems he is researching a cure for Zodeiba.

: (He's an honest worker... it seems.)

: (Thus, I wonder how much he knows about Zodeiba?)

Mejojo snorts a scornful laugh. Here, in Mandono, there is no treatment or salvation (?).



Mejojo: ...Treatment? Such a thing is unnecessary. I will handle this fellow.

Mejojo picked up a whip from a torture rack that was hung up on the wall.

Auger: Waaow, is that alright, Nii-san? It might be too fantastic. (?)

Zara: ......Hm?

Mejojo whips Rath, and he grunts in pain.



Zara: What...?!



ugh look at auger's smug as shit face in the background, look at it UGH

Mejojo started to kick the wolf man without mercy. He was chained by his neck, rolling on the floor and trying to protect himself with his arms and legs. (?) Is he trying to run away from the pain, even a little? His body was curled up. The wretched sight only got on Mejojo's nerves.

Mejojo: Wolf. It's inevitable, there's no place for your inferior kind to live in this world.

*whip*

Mejojo: Only because you are necessary to research a cure for Zodeiba, I have let you live in this way. If it were not for that... I would kill you at once.

Mejojo: Just to have these inferior worms breathing... it's aggravating!

*whip*

Auger: Sure is... or, how should I say it; it's truly disgusting.

Zara: Please, stop...!! At this rate, he'll die!

Mejojo: It would be fine if he does. When this one dies, I'll just capture a new Wolf.

Auger: Right, I can catch a new one! For Nii-san's sake?

Zara: Sir...!

Mejojo: Shut up, Rabbit-kun. What, do you want me to grab your ears again? Do you like being in pain?

The rabbit man raised his voice, seemingly from the excitement. (?) He got in between Mejojo and the Wolf lying on the floor, so Mejojo kicked him out of the way. Zara grunts in pain from the strike.



Mejojo: You were in my way.

However, Mejojo was growing tired of the monotonous kicking of the Wolf, so he stops. Rath's breathing is ragged and deep, by Mejojo's feet. Even his breathing sounds impudent. Mejojo wishes the Wolf had died already.

Mejojo: So. What is your report?

Zara: Kch..... Here. This is the result of the research that has been done so far. Take a look.

Mejojo: And?

Auger: Did you find out anything new?

Zara: Look, what you're doing here, it's not research...! It's not testing on people, it's torture...!!

Auger: Eh?~ Is that so?~ But we discovered a lot.

Auger: Wolves have excellent physical strength as a race, we've found out how long they last until they die of hunger, or how much pain they can handle before they die.

Mejojo: Aah. Indeed, they were truly worthwhile experiments.

Mejojo: Even if this Wolf cannot talk due to his Zodeiba infliction, his miserable screams are valuable.

Zara: This is... cruel! How is this research for overcoming Zodeiba!?

Mejojo: It is to understand these Wolves. Why do you think we are studying them? Pure curiosity.

Zara: *gasp* ...! Why such cruelty...!

Zara: What on earth are you... Do you have some grudge agaisnt Wolves...!?

Mejojo: .........Huh. Grudge.....?

Auger: .......Ah. Nii-san is angered.



Mejojo's voice has been pretty level so far, despite the whuppin, but now he goes off the fuckin rails.

Mejojo: Correct, Zara Skeens!! You think I blame the Wolves...!?

Mejojo: You think I need to associate with this boorish species...?!

Mejojo: I am just doing what I ought to, erasing a detestable, annoying species from this country; I just want to make a better country! As Weblin's king...!!

*whip*

Rath: Khah...!

Zara: *gasp* ...!

Mejojo: And these guys!! Serve your purpose in life!! For the sake of the end to Zodeiba!! That's all you're useful for...!!

*whip*
*kick*

Rath: Khah... Ugh...!!

Zara: Please, stop it...!! Any more and he'll really die!!

Mejojo: Die...!! All the Wolves, die to the last man...!!

Zara: Why.... Do you bear such a grudge.... They have to exist in this world, in Weblin.

Mejojo: They're different! They're just locusts that corrupt Weblin!

*kick*

Rath: Khuh...! *gasp* *pant* ...!! Kill..... me......!

: (How rude of a misunderstanding. I have a grudge against Wolves? It can't possibly be a grudge...)

: (Why does it have to be blaming the Wolves...! The Wolves are worthless...!!)

Your shaky voice doesn't fool me, you unhinged asshat.

I just said AWWW outloud while reading that. Julian, WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE IT'S NOT FAIR T_T

HE'S TOO CUTE FOR WORDS AND I JUST...

My other comment doesn't really work coming right after the catsu's love to torture, what else is new? scene

Yeah...

Holy shit. This game. I really, really want there to be an English version so I can play it. I know it's never going to happen, but I WANT IT. D':

Streamchat, abridged:

"Is he referring to her breasts as stumpy?!"
"OH GAWD MAH EARS"
"why cant i hold all this flailing"

Sorry I didn't announce the stream in the thread, it was spur of the moment after the Utena movie and... I forgot to post about it in here ^_^; Thanks for watching!

Edit: Oh oh! And due to peer pressure Julian being such a sweetie, I decided that I'll LP his route! Thing is, I have to play through Mejojo's first.... *sob* So I need your opinion:

1. Should I do a screenshot LP like I've been doing so far, except just for things specific to Mejojo. It will take longer to get to Julian this way, and there's a greater chance for things to come up and mess with my free time schedule.

2. Should I just stream his route, skipping through the game and only stopping to observe his route-specific stuff, with the help of my tsundere machines and Umazes. This will be the fastest because I will blaze through it, maybe even try for doing it in one sitting. Unfortunately, not everyone who wants to see it may be able to. And (mostly legible) translations will be in the IRC chat, so if you can't get in or can't make heads or tails of the chat amidst all the keysmashing, wellllll... :P

3. Don't LP it at all and play through it on my own time. I'm not sure who would want this.... I guess if you feel I shouldn't LP too many routes, because this is a commercial game? Or you'll be in a fit of jealous rage if you miss the stream? :P (Like SOME people.... who may be an egotistical asshat and wears a bell collar... *cough cough*)

4. Screen shot LP AND stream it!! Kyahahahahahahaha!
orz

( Shelby Darlene and Rot git in here with your opinions too)

I have been summoned!

Hmm well it's your choice whether or not you want to do both, but I'd recommend streaming it. That way, it's the most quick and convenient for me to add in what translations I can, we all see it at the same time, and we can have FEELS together. If you announce it somewhat in advance, I think most people will be able to make it...

I think 2 might be the best option, because it really will go by quickly if you're skipping the stuff you've already seen; you should be able to easily finish it in one sitting.

Yes, excellent. C: Julian~

From that description, all I can imagine is Auger poking at Fiona's boobs, insulting them, then starting to laugh hysterically and really loudly and flail all over the place.

And go Zara! Protect Rath with all your might!
I don't imagine Zara's ALWAYS kept down in the dungeon, but they did sort of bring in a wolf with 30 arrows in him. They'd need a very good doctor to make sure he doesn't die horribly.

(No preferences about Mejojo, though I worry due to his incredible assholishness.)

I vote for streaming! (I tried to think of longer opinion, but my mind was all NOPE)

What Umazes said./lazy

Juuuuuuuullllllllliiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaan.
