Let's Play "In Your Arms Tonight"...because...you know...

My vote's going to Aiba because I just want some fluff to ease the pain.

Also, any excuse to see that picture again. Any excuse.

Wow, I am now interested. I would love to do his route to find out what his life was like.

...I...have...somewhere t-to go, um, pardon me. Why is that so hot? I can't...

Yeah I'll probably vote for Aiba even if he isn't my type. We need so much fluff. So muchh

Aaaaiiibbbbaaaaa, heal my aching heart you dear, sweet unlucky boy, you.

Is...is that....is that hnnnng picture Ebi-chan???

Dear god.

Aiba or cougar route, although cougar route looks fairly cute as far as robbing ze cradle goes.

Yep.

It's from his epilogue.

Made it to the end ! I really like this storyline, it's very nicely written. MC is truly human, neither "mary-sue perfect" nor "otome dumb" and Ebi-chan is adorable. I like how they are both competent and nice people, with sad background stories but enough will to make the best out of it and try to build a better future. It's been a looooong time since I haven't been creeped out by a romance game. Well done, Voltage.

I'm just gonna leave this here...


*cough*

"KOICHI IS PERFECT
YOU ARE THE PROBLEM
I TRADED MY SOUL FOR THESE GLASSES"

Science beckons! But I don't have the iphone today. Somebody play his route and tell me he redeems himself because otherwise I will might cry.

I still don't have it available. :c Probably because mine is an Android device.

Can we assume that the guys' routes all take place in different versions of 'reality' and that they are slightly different people in each dimension? 'Cause then I might be able to deal with Koichi as a LI.

Also, I couldn't help myself:

That was the most mournful no i have ever uttered in my life.

I can't. My my ability to can is busted. I'm just going to grab ice cream and cry into it until all of this sparkles.

I want so much to play Ebi's epilogue. SO MUCH.

I'm about to update some more!

Ebi-chan's route will be done in a few days...



But I can LP his route FOR SCIENCE either next or after we get some warm fuzzies from Aiba/Genji!

Just as a warning, if I do the Koichi route, I will be breaking out my "Imma Kill You" gifs for the occasion

I am okay with any variation on this plan.

Don't know if I want to dive into Koichi's route right after this...we should heal our hearts first and then jump into it. I approve of using gifs though. Lots and lots of gifs.

*muffled around icecream cone* Definitely a sweetie sweet route after this. I mean, maybe Koichi will redeem himself, but do we want to suffer through it RIGHT AFTER THIS if he doesn't?

~Let's CONFRONT this thing!~




Well she DID almost die...






O-okay... (serious Koichi is interesting)






Aaaaaand he lost it....

A light breeze wafts through the room, and Lysa can detect a familiar scent lingering in the room.



Lysa tiptoes to the door, hoping to see Ebi-chan.



But then.....he shows up....





Koichi: "Oh, someone from work. Was it you that left the dogwood blossoms and daisies in the hospital room?"

Ebi-chan: "...yes."

Yes! Flowers from Ebi-chan! ❤






HE HELD LYSA'S HAND?!

Fight, fight! Punch Koichi in his stupid face!

A much better relationship than she has with you!








*heart breaks*



Koichi: "Is that true?"


nonononononononononononono


please no...

You were doing so well, Koichi, SO WELL. AND THEN YOU TALKED. I am just.

edit: Ninja'd by several updates. EBI NO. WHY ARE YOU DENYING THE DOKIS YOU HAVE FOR LYSA!?

WHY CAN I ONLY LIKE THIS ONCE

Personally I'm going with the "he's a robot" theory at this point.

Ebi-chan is never in the way!
You're in the way!
Grabs Ebi-chan and never let's go


nooooooooooooooo!

Lysa, stunned and sad, slowly gets back into her bed.



You were hoping he would punch Koichi.
It's okay....we all were...



That too....









Can't...hold...in...tears...



Break out the cuddles!



Edit: And so ends chapter 12....

Now it's time to see if Lysa and Ebi-chan end up Super Happy End ever after!

i am legitimately just squealing "oh my god" and crying and clenching and unclenching my hands because:
1) I TOLD YOU.
2) I FUCKING TOLD YOU.
3) This asshole took credit for something that someone else was doing that he was supposed to do in the first place.
4) This is just another goddamn glaring "LOOK AT THIS ASSHOLE" thing, srsly. "I wanted to see my friends" says the woman that was just in an accident and saying sensible things. "I WANTED TO HAVE YOU ALL TO MYSELF" says the selfish, controlling husband that is seriously pushing my last button.
5) ebiiiiiiiiiii take me awaaaayyyyyyy. take me in your arms and then jump out of the hospital window and let us fly away together on your animu wingssssss~

so basically
was really, really, really accurate to my actual reaction.

Guys,

Which is really bad because I'm actually in the break room of my job...

But Ebi-chan is worth it!!!

In exactly 4 hours I will be off work, then I have one of two options:

UPDATE SPAMS AGAIN ❤

or

Drag out the updates for a day or two and work on my SITSC and Sweet Bodyguard LP's so we can savor the Ebi-chan❤

Anyone have a preference?

Moar Ebi-chan! Um, I mean, please spam us with more update?

UPDATE SPAM DO IT
FUCKIN DO IT because i love you and you love us and it's only fair DON'T MAKE ME WAIT

I want to


then again, I already played this route. Don't make the rest of them wait though, let them go to bed with smiles on their faces <3

WILL DO!

Break ends in 30 seconds, I got almost all the screen shots so

UPDATE SPAM IN 3.25 HOURS AND COUNTING!



In the meantime, have this list of rankings!

Well I won't be back from school until 16 hours from now so I won't get to participate in all of the wonderful partying at the end of the route. Everyone enjoy this dramatic conclusion of How I Met Your Father.

Nooo, Ebi-chan! Man up and admit your feelings!
Would it help if we stopped calling you Ebi-chan?
too bad

Yeah, I have to go bed now if I want to be awake enough tomorrow morning to drive to school in one piece, so I don't mind either way.

*looks at rankings*
Man, Genji got shafted. How did he end up behind not only Koichi, of all people, but that douchey bar tender guy too?
(I like how Koichi's message is kinda self-aware, though. Even he doesn't believe it.)

FUCK. Thank you Koichi, you make all my nightmares come true. Years spent watching soap operas won't be in vain!

...and Lysa doesn't understand that people can't go around and say "You're Lysa husband? Hi, I'm the one who wants Lysa to leave you and marry me!"? That's what I thought when he said that.
Doesn't matter, leave that asshole.

So um, if you guys want to try to see why Kouichi is in third place, you can go look up his route's LP on tumblr. I've read most of it and, ugh, conflicted feeeeeeels.

"A very important..."
Person!! The word you're looking for is PERSON!!!
"...employe."
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Koichi, I never got your back at all. I never liked you. Maybe, maybe, I pitied you. But this?

Seriously.

Yeah, I really don't know what Lysa was expecting to hear Ebi-chan say to, you know, her husband. Who she told him she would be staying with. She's having a dumb otome protagonist moment.

I'll chalk it up to her crappy self-image, but still.
