    At this point, I honestly suspect that you cannot save Kasumi until you've done all the other paths, or something. Which means we'll never, ever save Kasumi.
  2. Davian Korran Hatoful Pigeon

    I think that's a fair assesment, to be honest. The way the game makes sure to kick you with it every time seems to indicate in the very least you need to have completed a few routes, and... Penguin being what he is... yeah.

    Poor Kasumi. Poor Penguin.

    Well, if a stranger on the internet says so, it must be true.

    ...
    I wanna give one of these to my mom.
    She loves puzzles though she never forgave me for the milk spill puzzle. We still haven't solved that one.
    I can't tell if she'd be happy or pissed... Either way she'd probably make me lay it with her. I like puzzles too, luckily.

    Poor Penguin, though - I wonder how crazy he is by now? One day he's just going to snap and drug her on the way to the party and just drag her home where he sits staring at her the whole night.

    I wonder what would happen if he started telling people all about the loops in desperation, predicting the future as proof?
  7. Davian Korran Hatoful Pigeon

    "No, Penguin, you're not allowed to do that."
    "LET ME GO, SHINIGAMI!"
    "We'll have to start you over again... telling is against the rules..."

    So yesterday was interesting in that one of my friends in high school fell off an 11th-story balcony and died. I mention it here because it seemed relevant.

    For unrelated reasons, I'm having alcohol tonight. Also, it's New Year's! In the game, that is. Also, Naoko called while I was asleep.

    [IMG]

    So I go.

    [IMG]

    Wait a second.

    Who the fuck is that?
  12. Ozzo Hatoful Pigeon

    Kiku's side-eyeing Naoko with all the judgment she can muster.

    Can't blame her, really: do you just think you'll find Kasumi's foot sticking out of the sand, Naoko?

    So for some reason I drop by the motorcycle shop.

    [IMG]

    Speaking of kart-racing, go buy yourself Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. You can thank me later.

    Blah blah they want my help but I don't have a lot of time but maybe I'll help if I have some time but who cares I GOT A STAT POINT

    Thanks, but the alcohol is genuinely for entirely unrelated reasons.

    Obviously, Penguin is secretly Rena and Hiroshi's father.

    Why no, I wasn't expecting this to make sense, why do you ask?

    Perhaps the worst thing about somebody dying is how life just continues.

    There's a line in the Talmud that says "he who destroys a life destroys a world entire, and he who saves a life saves a world entire".

    [IMG]

    It is for to Penguin to save a world entire. Or, more likely, to fail to save it, again and again and again.

    Fuck Hiroshi, I'm going to the park.

    [IMG]

    Heyyyy. I ask what's going on.

    [IMG]

    Of course you're going to spend time in the park. That's where you were murdered by Alice. Something something a ghost.

    [IMG]

    A ghost with a snobby sense of fashion.

    [IMG]

    So anyway we go walking in the park when Yui hears a weird noise. It sounds familiar, she says, like she remembers something. But she doesn't remember what.

    [IMG]

    WELL YEAH YOU BECAME A GHOST BECAUSE YOU WERE MURDERED BY ALICE IN THE PARK

    [IMG]

    Who called it? I called it.

    Apparently I'm really a bad influence.

    [IMG]

    Yeah. Kazuki also seems to have some problems of his own:

    I wonder what's going on there.

    I'm out on the town when I run into Kazuki. He wants to show me what he's done with the go-kart in my absence, so we head over to the motorcycle shop, where we are ambushed by Suzu.

    [IMG]

    They're blueprints for the school! Except back when it was a mansion owned by--

    Wait. Blueprints mean dumbwaiter.

    [IMG]

    Yessss Hiroshi route.

    So anyway, it used to be a mansion owned by the Matsumoto family. You know, Kiku's family. Here's Aya with the scoop:

    Given that this game has ghosts, not to mention angels, that may happen on her route.
    With Rena, anything possible.

    Penguin wisely ignores that last bit and asks why she'd hope for him to be mad pimpin' on Valentine's Day.

    [IMG]

    We'll go with that, sure.

    TOTALLY NOT A STAT POINT

    So what's with the notebook?

    The first poem is The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams (MP3 link). It reads as follows:

    so much depends
    upon

    a red wheel
    barrow

    glazed with rain
    water

    beside the white
    chickens

    Then I got a stat point.

    The go-cart, allowing Kazuki to travel freely, is symbolic of him being ready to leave the nest. Naoko is having none of this independence malarky and figures the best way to put a stop to it is to remove the independent male role model in Kazuki's life.

    The dumbwaiter happens. Later, Satsuko happens.

    [IMG]

    FUCK, WHITE DAY. Well, let's see what I can get for Rena.

    [IMG]

    This wasn't even a question. Rena's an unusual girl, after all.

    Let's see what we got her.

    NONE OF THESE OPTIONS ARE PANTIES.
