The Splendorous adventures of me playing Xolga and Mr. Toko

Austin!
and his
and his body falls too fact and I
I
I couldn't....
I couldn't cacth him....












































no....
this isn't happening.
this can't be true










































oh no.
oh no
oh no oh no, oh nonononononononoono









































no
he...
he's going to awake and wipe his blood and reform his ways









































wait, what.
what are you doing to me










































no
there is no way I can live a normal way.
not after I have seen
not after what I have lived here
not without Austin
not without him











































No
please no
don't do that
no my memories










































I
should I be grateful
because
I won't remember what we had
but I won't have to remember his death again










































again?













































Wait
What was that

































Where I am anyway?

The capsule opens and we have our title characters back and fine.
Or as fine as they may be given the circumstances.


Shhh, it's okay, yellowball, it's okay. You're fine and with your new bestest friend ever again.


Xolga, on the other side, looks like he had a hangover.


Toko probably looks like he seeing the ghosts of all his dead relatives.


Oh, we miss you too.


You have no idea, Xol-kun.


A weird, very vivid dream of a certain doom.


Just a "little" bit?

Then Xolga examins the beds where they were sleeping and...

I don't know you, but I would have selected a different font for the futuristic machine of god knows what.


Explain us, oh mighty bear


Like the little dreams cubes from Strange Days?


It take a special talent and a big amount of variable luck to do so


Because is the happy machine?


oh, god.


Wait, that was a happy memory of Xolga? The memory of a alcoholic mom acting motherly and letting her kid to play in the coin plain of the local convenience store qualifies as happy on his scale of memories?
Suddenly I don't want to know how the rest of Xolga's childhood was.


At least Xolga have some conciousness oh how his childhood was shitty, and how such an small gesture meant that much for him.


Xolga, that's cruel.


And then Toko realizes
no
I can't tell him
i don't even know what the hell was that.
if I tell Xolga, he will either mock me or worry endlessly
no, he isn't that cruel to mock me
but what if he fears me if i tell him
what i was


so
what should i say
I want him to be my friend
he says we're not, but I'm sure we are
but, if i tell him
then he...
he...


no, i can't tell him
I can't
i can't
he will worry
he will have fear of me
so, instead, let's go with what he said
what he said, again?

And Toko decides to keep the genki façade, despite not even him buying it anymore.


Xolga, I'll forgive you because since episode 1 it's obvious that reading people isn't your best point.


Well, Toko, there are myriad of reasons


Deep and profound reasons


That's one, for example.


How so?


There could be people needing to relieve their guilt for their past mistakes, or people which feel they're atoning that way.


Not much,, but some at least.

Then Toko remembers the last words of the blue eyed man


So they wouldn't haunt you


Highly probable.


Wiping memories is complicated, neurologically speaking. Sealing them away is more feasible. Even real life amnesiacs, not the type that you can see on media, can have some things lingering.


He said something else?


Memories recovered are funky like that


I could give a lot of reasons, but the most probable is the one of real life thigs: search of an identity, of a sense of belonging to anything.
If that's the case, then, what kind of life you had before joining them?


For what Austin said,, back then you are a lot like you are now.


Even then, you were a ball of optimistic genkiness, only more bloodthisrty.


But it doesn't feel that way, huh?


An unchangeable thing, in a wold of constant change

Still, there is a blessing to this constant life of uncertainty.



Now, with me:








And then a door opens and what, there was a door here?

ohshitoshitohshit



Whenever, just hide, or jump dimensions again!


You're losing time by infighting!


wait, that ears... that t-shirt... that brown fur...


Is that what I think it is?


Xolga, meet the version of you that works on the future time mall on Chrono Days, since this is the world you have fallen already.


And with this blatantly violation to all the time-travelling laws I know, we end this chapter. Now, we can retreat and heal our hurt hearts. I don't have ice cream so I'll binge on Twistos, strawberry mousse, and Farmville 2.

WAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

AUSTIN NO ASAGJSAJGSAJKSGG

TOKO YOU POOR CHILD

XOLGA WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO YOU AS A CHILD

People:
I had to install the dreaded recordMyDesktop so I could caught the scene at the end of the 7th chapter (you'll know which one) because I don't know how to make Shutter do timed screen autocapturing for me.If I manage to do it right, I'll make a gif of the relevant scene. If not... well, on video I can capture the exact moment better.
On the other side, the number of caps I took, even before whatever I get that final captures or not, is bigger than the max number of recent images I can see on imgur, so this means that I'll begin to post the 7th episode... in some minutes, when I upload until the end of the intro.

As they say in my country, lo prometido es deuda, what is promised is indebted. So, Let's play more Xolga and Mr Toko, so I can try to finish the first series before this year ends, and the whole saga before i finish my work vacations


The 7th jump chapter! In telenovela lingo, we are in la etapa culminante, coming into a climax.
But as any novela watcher can say you, being in la etapa culminante doesn't means that the end is near. That will be in a couple of chapters.
Anyway, let's go deeper in the mysteries!



Given the past episode, is this a hint? Will Pacdabutt pull off a "All just a dream" on us?


This is were we left last episode. Today, the continuation.


I don't think so, Toko


If something, you should suggest a clone


Anorther!Xolga seems genuinely surprised


From another time, another story, baby


From this temporal line, or a ex-parallel one?


I'm afraid not.


Future Xolga keeps the snark going fluid and fresh


Even Xolga is stumped by his own self.


Translationb: we will be still friends in the far flung future of god knows when?


Translation: yes, I still have to deal with your sorry butt.


And that's because....?


Remind me to do a 'shopping of Toko with She-Hulk later


Sorry Toko, I think you don't have "the touch" for atracting women of any type.


Only whith the fans of Patchesis works, and only when you're on your cute shota form.

C'mon, machines that make you revive forgotten memories, microchip-like decoration everywhere, why are you asking the obvious?


So the dude can do time traveling if he wants? Groovy!


Toko seems enthused to learn that he has that ability


The dream of every dimension jumper.


Also the dream of a Xolga tired of travel.


Because the funky Medallion is a bastard.


Well, I wouldn't qualify you as "awesome", but more as "paranormal shit magnet"


The question of the 64.000 lochas.


This doesn't bodes fine...


Nope, because Future You is a smart cookie (a genius shortbread)


"lesseee how I explain it to ya..."


"And I don't have the energy to tell it"


The fact that the world hadn't exploded after your meeting means that the fabric of time in your multiverse is sturdier than it seems, so don't give me that talk.


Xolga, are you buying this bullshittery?


What, to make the time explode ot to change your freaking future of retail employee?


Future Xolga share my fears.



"I'm going to bring that Funky Bastard Medallion into submission, whatever he likes it or not!"


Future Xolga is all "this isn't what I planned for this"

Xolga is confirming an hypothesis


le quoi?



So it turns out the yellowball doesn't have any control of his teleporting abilities


So until now Toko has been like the TARDIS, but in yellow?


Read this with the happy tone of a 6 year old you had teach how to make kool-aid for the very first time.


"nah, just retconning this adventure out of existence"


"and I could go back to my nice, boring life, thankuverymuch"


Because this is a fucking stable timeloop or whatever the trope is called.


Xolga, this is future you, he is into something you hadn't learn yet.
Please don't we go Karkat Vantas in this issue, please, that future/past sides self-fighting was annoying at the time.


The only answer that thing will give involves a finger. A middle one, to be more exact


And so, Xolga went to screw things even more.


"He may know somethingb you're overlooking"


Translation: "fuck him sideways".

And finally, in a Time and place our protagonists can roam truly free!



Xol, the kid wants attention, be a good parental surrogate and give it to him.


Read in the same tone of the phrase "stop nagging!"


Because, you know, its your ~future~ and shit


Maybe he knows the size of the disaster you're going to cause.

No matter what we choose, the result is more or less the same. I choose the first, but the difference with the answer for the second is just wording.


Poor Toko didn't expected the verbal kick he just told to him.


Xolga, however, hadn't finished yet.


And in going so, is composting the terrain for a full crop of bastardy


In Xolga's mind, he is "Fine! I finally said so! I had to!"
On Toko's, however, the story is very different.


Is true that Toko has embarrassed Xolga, accused him of sexual abuse, and has been all around full annoying on him. But it's also true that Toko have the emotional maturity of a modern tween and didn't meant any lasting harm. In fact, there have been more time where Toko has been out of his way to be genuinely caring and useful, as much as his limited understandings can be.
In any other circumstances, Toko would dismiss Xolga's exhabrupt as his normal grumpiness. But remember, our floating egg chum is still raw for both having relieved the horrible murder of his former best friend, and having had to pretend normalcy for Xolga's sake. So, this is the last staw.


The ultimate expression of "I won't take your crap anymore".
Then, as he flown towards the sun, in a complete blaze of glory, he transformed in a brilliant ball of fire. And some say, as he soared into the sun set, that he yelled "IT'S MY LIFE" before he retreated into the clouds to never return.
(a cookie for who catch the reference)



No, but seriously, Xolga, those words of you are going to bite you hard.


Time changes the streets, you know.


Another side effect of roaming like that.


My creamy stuffing!


Hey, I remember those blue locks....

Our blue friend goes (.......) and then

Well, yes, but we're not going to tell you that.


You're the magnet for troubled people.


Bluette is worried for you.


That the slavery ended in the 1800's...


Oh, snap!


And a lot of other things of common sense.


Yes, a lot of personality he has...


Help, help! Our friend is being bearnapped!

Happy New year! 7 days later, and almost two weeks since i last actualized this.
Anyways, back to the bernapping.


...where the blue-haired dude see our bearsona quite intriguingly.


I would be a little bit more surprised, but maybe in the future there are hystrionicbots who give different reactions to being lift from the floor?


Nah, is just the guy not giving a frigging damn.


Lalala I'm not hearing just another walking plushie with attitude.


Don't say?

After a convenient fade black and back, The Blue Kidnapper has brought Xolga to his hideout home sweet home.


A route I have to play some day, thanks for the reminding!


Repeating yourself much?


Eh, I don¡t remember Chrono Days going that route.


And a very huggable one! but don't hug it much, he has an strong uppercut


Yes, "found" it please don't pay attention to the bites on my back.


Landon has good morals.


But it's so kyooot! My BFF will love it and smooch it and be very grateful if I gift it to her and it will increase my score possibilities!


I assume they are equaling this to an iPod, because if I lost my chinese MP3 I'll be ""whaaaaaaaaaaaaaY__Y--- wahatever, let's buy another cf these silicon craps"


Nice sense of personal responsability here, boy.


Wait, there are place where you must bring other people lost stuff, and where you can get you lost shit? And people is honest on their use? Man, the first world countries future times are amazing!


Because they need to remind us of the Other Xolga.

Landon then goes into Kindergarten Teacher Mode:



You had to give your real name? *facepalm*



*FacepalmX2 combo!*


Please, use this ellipsis interval for invent a plausible excuse


*FacepalmX3 combo!*


Whatever, let's keep distressing the robobear


The same monosyllabics of the last answer had worked awesome, try those!


Bluehaired has saved us! If only for using Xolga as a future gift.


Xolga must look still new for Landon jumping to that conclussion.


From an irresponsible person to another, fight for your finding keepers!


"I didn't rise you to be a Venezuelan, now be an honest dude and give it back"


It's me, or it looks like Bluehaired had puffed his cheeks like a kid in a tantrum?


"after I recover my strength from carrying out that miniature grizzly"

Afer another fade...

You brought this to yourself, Xol-kun!


I hope you have an good plan for do that


What, robots here are like the ones on Chobbits?


Man, you're a bear now, just act normal and use the "programming" excuse.

Because I know who are you, but Xolga needs the info.


You are quite laidback. Too bad the personality you showed on your first cutscenes in your game gave me some creeps.


A good question, Xol! Keep sleuthing!


I WONDER WHY


Way young;, even accounting for art style I don't calculate Landon more than 25 years old or so.


This story seems familiar...


Ah righ... 19? 19!?
I calculated him old enough to drink in the USA, but then I hadn't played these brothers routes.


Oh, my, this universe is mean... and full of teenagers talented enough to land jobs with pays over the survival line.


Xolga, this isn't the moment to remember the only relatives that care for you.



Xolga, stop, you're being too you.


Good beandiping!


Entering the Stepford Smile Zone


Translation: "I want her to be my pure eternal love"


"She has friendzoned me, but this won't last for much after I show her all my love with the hearts of small animals"


Now I'm intrigued how Landon looked before.


"Why she doesn't smiles gor me? I'm younger, more handsome, more cool, more awesome than Big Bro why she doesn't give me the same smiles?"


And this, people of Broken Forum, is why Teddy, despite his "childhood friend in love" setup, skeeves me more than Pedostache Principal Amanonashi.
If you have the yandere gene, be upfront about it!


Xolga is at least as scared as me now.

Behold, Broken Forum! A snippet from the Chrono Days doodle dump!

... Is this the part where we all fall for Landon at the same time?

I would have chubbied his face more, but he is cuuute. Like Toru from LoveRevo before slimming.

Anyways, back to the business!

If only Teddy knew that, in his game, his best and only friend can romance (and be loved back by) a male Chobbit and a magically animated Super Dollfie scaled 1:1.


You call it "waste of time", I call it "portrait of a future male yadere".


Please, the sooner we can be free of Bluebeardhair, the better.



Nice save! You're improving!


The city may be small, but this is a puzzle game.
Fortunately, the puzzle here is easy.


Free at last!
wait not, we're tailing Teddy still.


If it were for you everybody would be gray and beige, right Xolga?


Please tell me they are not screwed to the floor.


Or just merchandise for that store.
hey, let's enter.


Ah, a repair shop


Man, id some store owner tries to do the same in my country, in 5 minute the place will be emptied by the local thugs, and even some non-thugs.


Because there should be a place to test media players and similar stuff.


And still too clean for a place of that trade.


I have Ideas, but not sure if I should share the with Teddy here.
Ah, those scissors on the top give me an idea...

How I know wich is the plot item? because it trigger cutscenes!


Totally teens.


Not using for backstabbing you, seriously!


That's a too cheeky smile.


Circuits.
Circuits.
ok!


Teddy surely thinks why shouldn't just put Velcro anyway.


Unfortunatly, we have a problem:


Teddy is victim of the Teens Are Short trope


Ad also can't climb, nor help himself with a broom.


Don't worry, once you hit 18 you'll grow two feet taller.


Hey, there is where Xolga and Toko had their breakup.


And that someone is going to be us! But I'm getting ahead.


The cable bin is, on the other side, way more interesting.So bad we don't have cutting implements *hint hint*


I thought the same on the original Chrono Days.


New street and oh hai what is that


The universal kind with only a button.


Ans still thay waste resources on painting the floor like a Tron background.


You hadn't stayed up without sleeping courtesy of the magic blue lights of a recharging laptop

I understand the concept of a blind street and walled and closed urbanizations, but this is ridiculous
(also, is giving more ideas to my paranoid nation)


Sure may be... but first, why don't be ecological and get that key from the floor.


Yeah, yeah, we will try it with every small keyhole we see, but flet's try our Universal Control(tm)


New mission: to get a battery! Maybe on the repairshop...

Now, to the solution:
First, go for that sackbarrow.

If they lost its key, their loss.

Now, for the "circuit" boxes:



Well, you are human shape, that you physical shape seems weak is another thing entirely


Kids in the future don't learn about simple machines at school?


Because I don't like you that much.


Nice jab!


And Ao no Yandere Teddy resigns himself to be outwitted by a robobear.

And now, behold as I use the strange artifact known as a wooden crate!


Kids on the future are either too sheltered or too accustomed to the automation of everything.

Then use those scissors in the cable nest:


I wonder where i can use it?
No, seriously, I can't go with this pretension anymore, just go to the closed street.

Now, to finish, isnt clicking on the battery, but on the remote again what solves the enigma.


I hope so.

and then, the door opens up and...

YES!
AND CAUGHT JUST BEFORE THE TRANSITION!

So finally our adventure here with Teddy The Troubled Teen has finished.


"Now go. Shoosh, shoosh i can't run away of you fast enough."


Yes, now go home.


"I I say this, you will go away?"

And then I'm remembering to update this just when my own PC borked its ethernet port. But then there are like less than 100 images left from this chapter for post, so...


Thanks for your good wishes, now please go away.


I hope that not.


at least a lesson was learn today. G'night!


Hey, good to see you again, cooler version of Xolga!
By the way, how you find us again?


If you are going to do something very stupid, he shoulld do right here.


Because I/m a Man With A Mission (And A Hot Body To Recover)


An no one is going to sto-wait you said you/'re going to help?


Not even Xolga can believe his own generosity.


The prevention of something even stupider than whatever you wanted to.


Yes, is the prevention of something stupider.


Oh my, the level of stupid on Xolgas's future must be gigantic for him to acknowledge it.


Okey, so it's something related to both him and Toko? as in BOTH have such a power?


Tell us, O-Kuma-Sama


And then the game troll us by not revealing the secret.


Aparently the thing is sorta dumb, or surreal


Clear as spring water


*Insert display od dull surprise here*

Oh, you're right, normally he should be back by now.
But, of course, there are not normal circumstances.


Because you are destined to be BFF


How so?


And what the crap is this?


Not, they are not. I played that game and they don't have those.
Wait, I remember something that Landon upstairs said...
You were the one who stole it!


That's kinda convenient.


Ominous? What's t]hat? I feel nothing suspicious, do you?



Oh my. In game it had been less than a week since The Funky Medallion Injcident, and now the next point is two years ahead?
What were you doing all this time?


Man, I've posting these games for three, almost four months, and I don't even have had that many wacky adventures.


And thus a divergent line of a more ignorant Xolga has been drawn


That you what?


Wait we're nor ready


The fuck is going on?


But you know his idiocy level, how are you so sure?











































enough white?





































And we finished the jump!

And we don't know where we are!



=>Xolga: become aware of surroundings


=>Xolga: tell us something we don't already know.



Madams and ladies (with the occasional dude), the moment Patchesis should have realized "Damn, maybe I should remake that one old Animu Sim Date now that I'm better both in my art and my Flash programming".

And for his expression, he is on the route of Memory Days (or his prototype original game) where the other dudes were chosen.


Your relative age does that to you.


A cake you neve ate, and probably was delicious.


In my country that's illegal under the newest Labor Law and their inmediate predecessor. Even more when working with minors.


Walter seemed nice enough to give you sundays and festive days at least, if you asked.


Man, man, calm. You say you did indeed lived for a while with your caring relatives?


And that still you get away?


Madams and ladies (and the ocassional dude), the mindset of a kid who suffered abuse by neglect.

Anyways, why are you remembering this just now?



what was this
what does this mean
are we digging depper on Xol's psyche?


Now, my dearest people, the moment.


An unexpected light change.













































A bear realizing somenthing is very, very wrong.





































A young man crossing without seeing the traffic lights.
















































A familiar voice giving advice at the worst moment.





































































A driver going by life in autopilot
(also, a letsplayer who has to struggle with recordMyDesktom to capture this one)
































































A young man turning into a familiar voice






























and then black and a crash sound.













































So, this is the end of the Episode 7.
Episode 8 will be screencapted and posted when my PC can connect again.., or when I lose the shame and do the needed stuff on the parental computer that I'm using. Whatever comes first. Meanwhile, I'm gonna play Chrono Day, looking into if it's possible to romance the male chobbit without using codes. 'Til then!

People, I have come to say that I played Chrono Days, and you can get Male Chobbit Oz without having to use the cheats, but then you end without enough money to give him gifts (or at least I never realized what he does like until I finished the round and realized I never got him stickers) Still i got his best end via dialogue tree which is all good, I guess?

Also, I got my desktop computer back, meaning that I played andI got the captions for the 8th episode, and I'm uploading them right now. You'll see an actualization tomorrow, for real.

Whee, can't wait for the next update!!

And Chrono Days... I wonder how long is it since I last played that game lol

Technically Friday still on my timezone, so...



Welcome Back! Last time, we saw a tragick accident that may or may not have been caused by a rogue bear. Now This episode will be full of rogue bear going against his alleged emotions and visit the unfortunate victim. Who Happens to be his cousin. Cousins. Just Cousins. Cousins.

Carne de primo también se come, they say on my homeland.

Anyways, lets get away with the cryptic intro text, yes? Reading these thing makes me feel that the Funky Medallion of Doom is just the form that Kyubey takes in the Patcheverse.


Being a decent person for once?


That's good. I'd have to ask my M.D. S.O. if that's a good sign.


So you kinda expected that he died so you could have a better excuse to see him?


Then do the right thing and go see our future romantic interest on memory Days.
I mean, Our like "Me and the BF", Xolga, this doesn't includes you.
Now I'm totally use the name Xolga on my next playing of Memory Days


We, on the other side, find ths more than congruent with your personality, through.


You said the same the last episode, and still you ended in the hand of what would be constructed as the yandere osananajimi chara of the Patcheverse


And with this short intro, we end this day, with more playtime in 10 hours or so.

...

Too short D8 /shot/

I swear for whichever you hold most sacred I have not abandoned nor forgotten about this LP, but a plethora of issues, mostly about politics on my country and the emotional drainage they have left on me, left me without the wit needed to keep posting. Also, given the theme of the episode, and the nature of the recent news, it didn't feel appropriate to post.

Still, since I have All the cap, I'll post something soon. Promise.

Good luck Lequinni Q^Q /hugs you/ I'll wait for you here.

So. The intro of this episode was post back on February. Due to a combination of job exhaustion, laziness, the emotional draining provoked by the lovely events in certain south American country with a name beginning with V where I have the bad luck of have born and living, and gorging on Farmville 2, Tumblr, assorted fan works, and subtitled episodes of the Nostalgia Critic (coping methods provoked the above mentioned lovely country events), our dear bear has been waiting his chance of visit his hospitalized cousin for months. This has been for so long that, when I'll play the sequel series, it will be blind again.

Even if nobody cares about this LP, I spent all my afternoon preparing this post. So let's C&P and finish this episode already.
Let's put this bear out of his misery.


That Janitor wasn't there when we first explored this.

But the rest of his stuff can be useful, right?

In truth you can do a lot with it, you only don't know how.


If you say it's "just" an air conditioner, you hadn't needed it on the hot summer days of a tropical country.


Also, your lovely felt could dampen and dirt, and we don't want that.

Hmm... reception is to the right (or scenic left). Let's go there.


So the mission is distract them! But with what?


Fiddling with the Air conditioner gives us the same "Just an air conditioning" of above. Fiddling with the window give us a possible course of action


Never is just a ordinary stuff, Xol, but I'm having an Idea.


Used Syringe get!
I hope this one hadn't be used in someone with an infectious thing, or it will be Halloween again.
Although... what if we use this with the water bucket?


That Janitor was neglecting his job before anyway. Now go to the north room!


Hey, that admin dude still have Windows XP. And that tissue box look ominous...
Get under the desk, Xol-kun!


That, if this isn't the archetypal PEBCAK. This one may know how to turn off the computer and everything!


See? Although his work seems to be moving files right now...
But that tissue box bothers me. Xolga, do something!


Dumbass


I don't think so, he seems very happy moving folders between disks to notice.


Told so.





I think there is a certain window that miss their cranky crank a bit too much. Let's reunite the star-crossed lovers.


Thank you, nice wind gust!


What a nice reception room.
Hey, What's up there?

A line of drawers could be useful here. Hey, what with that door?


By tricking them. But I can't see someone trickable here yet


Must be an pre-Impressionist replica, given that has a golden frame and everything


Pity.
Oh, those are drawers. Time for looting!


Repeat X 3


A bear with a razor blade. Not as dangerous as a monkey with the same, but almost.
What we know that we can be cut?


Good thing you have now a fabric body now, Xolga, or you would hve been electrocuted by now!


And still you got it anyway


Hey, on my work we have a similar one. We use it for the Air conditioner.
Hmm.. this gives me an idea....


This one...


...This other...


Use the tissue box on the glass gives us this result.
That must be the jumbo sized box.


Oh, Xolga's other, younger, less cool cousin!
Yay! I mean, shit!



Xol, use the magic instrument on your hands!
... not that, perv, the air conditioner control.


Wait for it... wait for it...


Just like the Min-Health Clinic my S.O. works!


If this was my country, the blackout would last 5 hours and they'd cancel the visits.
But this is the penultimate episode and the set is in a developed country, so I'll calculate like 5 minutes.
But we're finally in!
Also, the next 150 screens or so will be plot.

Great, so Kai not only is whole and unbroken, now he has acquired Xolga's amazement of the idea that his relatives care.


As energetic as a VN paperdoll can transmit.



It's my idea, or Kai seems to be embarrassed of having been run over?



Mako's frown is sorta adorable, and at least Kai seems to be sorry for going Xolga on his family.


That's sorta overprotective. I mean, the dude have been living on his own for thee years now and, until this accident he seems fine. But, you know, mothers.


Kai, is normal, you can marry and have kids an become a multimillionaire and win the Nobel prize for whatever and they still want you to keep living with them.


My inner Cold Case Files fan wants to point a lot of things wrong with this sentence.


Defend your incestuous love platonic interest for your cousin, Kai-kun!


Well, Mako have a point here.


What Kai is thinking: "I don't think that my little brother can understand my pure love feelings for my tsundere cousin, and why I can't call this search out."


Mako: "I only came here called by the Ghost of the Present Christmas."


Kai, being the better person in the room, the game, and the whole series.


He will, shorty, he will.


Let's see the loveliness that is Kai for a moment, yes?
Ah, and someone knocks the door.


So easily startled! Cutie!


Hey, this seems to be a surprise new character


Even Xolga is surprised.


But we yet not. Can you introduce him?

Mouthlines: the animu shortcut to say "old person"!
(I shouldn't say anything, I use the same cheap trick)


Oh, look, it's the "30 years of blow and hookers" version of Xolga.


Aro? Why is this dude named after the Spanish word for "ring"? Is this symbolic?


A good question, since for what we know you wasn't even alive.


So you have contact with what I think is your sister in law, but not with your wife and kid. Classy.


So the dead one is Kai's dad. Classic. But what are you doing here?


Acknowledging the problem is always the first step, Xolgadad


Kai still is surprised for your plot-relevant close-up


What?


Now I'm beginning to understand her, and the origin of her alcoholic, emotionally abusive ways.


Game, you're intending me to pity her?
Because it's kinda late for that, you know.


Kai, you sweetie, keep with your The Reason You Suck speech.


And then, I realize we never knew what the dreams of Xolgadad were.


Because coming back after more than a decade out of your home and saying you're sorry will solve things.
Hahahahahaha no.


wait whut.


Our reaction, here in Kai's face.


Gee, thanks for the trust vote in the son you abandoned.


Because Misery builds character!
...an unpleasant one, but it builds it!


How convenient to the plot, but let's have this slide.


Xolga is somehow touched by this, poor thing.

On one side, fucking finally.
On the other side, you want a golden medal for not being a total asshat?


No, don't lose your hope, Kai! If you keep searching, You may find your lost love cousin!


Xolga, poor neglected kid, feels touched by showings of normal decency


Kept him an stranger, really. You deserve better, hon, you deserve better.


Disbelief. It's called disbelief. I felt that thing many years ago too, in a similar situation.


Finally, Kai realizes there is something suspicious in that strangely damp bear plush in the fruit basket.


Too late, Xol, just drop the masquerade already and sort your cousin incestuous feelings for you.



DROP IT ALREADY


Next pic: Xolga is pick up.


Oh, these is one of those tension things, right.


Like this scene was needing an unnecessary tension for emotion sake.


KAI, PICK UP THE FUCKING BEAR ALREADY!


Ok, I admit this is funnier.


And for some reason Patche-chan decided to name this woman instead of leaving her simply as "Nurse", for all the importance she have to the plot.
Also, behold! The only female character on this thing with a common, conventional name!


I can imagine what could come out of this.
Kai: "You won't belive this, but a teddy bear that was on the gift basket my brother brought to me punched me in the jaw."
Nurse Julay: "okaaaaay, sweetie, now it's time for your nerves medicine again..."


How did you hid so fast under the sheets, and so far of any of Kai's limbs?
Is it so dirty minded of me that I expected Xolga to hide near Kai's crotch?


... a free pass to the psychiatric ward.


Man you had visits like until 5 minutes ago, that don't give you enough time to reach REM sleep.


Xolga, still amazed of the deeps of his cousin's love normal human decency.

This is both the normal procedure and the thing she shouldn't be doing right now,


Oh, Kai, such a sweetie pie.

After the nurse go out....


You should be the one scared now, toffee dear.


The return of the ellipsis of WTF!


Man, he just got a big hit to the head and the surprising return of his long lost uncle, a talking bear it's like, low priority now.


Now it's when you decided to be surprised?


Because the obvious.


Now that you say that, Kai did took the antics of a toaster automaton with a disturbing tranquility.



Good save, Xolga!


They said you so, but you don't know if you're having a weird allergic reaction involving bad trips involving talking plush bears.


Please don't go, strange talking bear that I just met but still seems to knows me!


Nope! Just coincidence! Now back to sleep until your ibuprofen allergy gives you an anaphylactic shock.


Both give more or less the same answer, but since I don't remember well let's pretend Xolga went with "it's just you"


"You kinda sound like the person I want to give my heart, soul, and virginity."


Too late, he is the only character doing what the plot had prevented everybody to do since the second episode.


And Then, Kai finally recognized the voice of his one and only love cousin.


And has to verify, because he is actually smart.


Keep being smart, cookiedough!

And I don't want to tell you, because my appearance it's the least bizarre aspect of it.


Keep being the smartest person here, Kai-cupcake!


The Ellipsis of compassion!


*melts of cute and shippiness*



Xolga, always the moment breaker.


Hai, nursie that should have remain unnamed!


Kai-treacley, you're too nice for this world.


For you, Lady. For me is...
...
...
...you're right, this gag isn't funny anymore.


*cochitoooooooo*


Again, how do you get so fast under the covers?


Yup!


Because he LOVES YOU SO IDIOT have a couple things he has to sort out about you.


"OMG, my love for him burns with the intensity of a thousand suns, BUT I CAN'T TELL HIM!!!"


"Family" is code for "lovers" here, right? Right?


Because even his parents gave up on him, Xolga can't believe this shitty excuse honest personal feeling.


Kai. Xolga-kun is the kind of people that runs away from relatives when his feelings are too conflicted towards them, he can't grasp such a bit of filial sense.


Kai realizes now and then that Xolga will never return his feelings, filial, romantic or otherwise.


Kai, you're not the one to blame here.


Xolga, in need of the clue-by-four.

Ladies and gentleman, the thing Kai fussed over all this time.
If this isn't enough fuel for your Kai->Xolga shipping needs, I don't know what may be.


Xolga, still not getting it.


We too, dear, and how shippy that scene has become.


And there is the reason Xolga is not getting hit by the clue-by-four. Nothing like a shield of self-loathing to absorb the hints of reality!


Kai, honeypot, you have a point here but Xolga is too far away of sane people reasoning to get it.


The only people who never fails is the one whonever does anything, Xol


Still, Xolga doesn't get it.


And does what he always do: run away.


"To find my DESTINY!
Or go back to my human body, it's the same thing anyway"


At least an honest answer.


In his infinite sweetness, Kai can't comprehend the idea that not everybody will be as accepting of Xolga as he is.



Xolga, attempting to give his cousin some kind of closure.
And doing it surprisingly fine, considering.


Don't give him ideas!


Don't even consider it!


The fluffy stuffing didn't change his hardened cynical heart and tsundere temper.


A caring reaction! Tunderesque, but caring still!


The very image of genuine love here, folks.

A brief transition implying Xolgas's escape, and...


Hung yourself in a clothes hanger.


Your future self is way cooler than you, don't even dare to think that way about him.


Ah, the vagueness of "you'll know when you see it"...:


Who know, so many things!


And the Light of Plot Significance hits Xolga!


Who, I thought we had it woth you already.


His reasoning "With those, she'll squee for enough time for me to get away of any item she could trow at my head before I explain myself"


I hate the unfortunate implication here that a woman can't be self-sufficient, sane and sober unless the husband is near, but let's slide it in the name of the drama and because the author still doesn't knows better yet.


Weird time to have the last bus of the day, too awfully early.


If the thing appears to the Time Of The Beast of 06:06:06pm, I'm going to scream.

Hey, a full color flash back!






























































on the memories of good times past





on the remembrance of a time long gone





on spite of myself,
I still remember you fondly.





































Whoops, the Medallion of Doom escaped screenshooting again!



Now, Xolga! Show us the sekkrit method you future self told you!


The determination of a teddy bear.


Isn't this a lyric of Captain Jack's "Dream A Dream"?
(probably not, but this is a time as good as any to post the song


You won't believe this, because I couldn't think of record video of this special event, but the Goddamned Locked Of Hell And Despair actually stops mid air and falls to the floor!


FUCKING FINALLY!

Simple Solutions FTW!
Wait, there isn't a rule that for each problem is a solution that's easy, quick and wrong?


Maybe you have to talk to it.


It's me, or this shot just screams "BAD IDEA XOLGA GET THE FUCK OUT GET THE FUCK OUT, GET THE FUCK OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT"?

...

...

Nah, just me! Open the thing, Xol-bear!


And the magick shines and we finish this drama for once and all!
... *back to the chapter list*
Nope, there is an episode more of this season and a second one, so there is obvious that, whatever this does, isn't going to stick.

However, let's see how the Medallion of Doom covers the screen with withe glow and fucks with our main character once again.


There...


It did, apparently.


Surprisingly, the Medallion did not fuck with our main character as I feared!


Everybody, let's welcome back to the feared long lost Xolga's hotness!


And in the next episode:
Will Xolga retain his reacquired human hotness?
What the fuck was that medallion and why transformed our protagonists?
By the way, what happened with Mr. Toko and where the hell is that yellow blob right now?
And how Patchesis justified a second season of this?

All of those questions will be answered on the season finale... when I play it. Probably before May ends, but with my luck, maybe on August or so.

... XOLGA.

DON'T, HONEY.

OH THE SHIPPINESS.

Too much happened to be commented on.

Thank yoou, Lequinni!

Thank you, poreperuke! I'll keep my hard (?) work!

now that we're talking of that theme, there is a story for you

Once upon a time, there was a Let's Player who spent her Sunday night happily screen-capping the last installment of the episodic VN/Puzzle/Statadmin/whichever thing, when suddenly the program thing the Let's Player was using stop screencapping stuff. and then the stuff on the game was to fast for screen-capping anyway.

"Fear not" Say the Let's Player, "For there is a wondrous thing named recordMyDesktop that can make a recording of me playing this, and there is ways to conert video on animated gifs or whatever"

And lo and so, our intrepid Let's player installed the after-mentioned record program, along with a lot of encoders and a couple of video editors.

Then, on the next day, our intrepid Let's Player went on to record another session of her playing.

Only this one... didn't record correctly.Or at least it wasn't an output.

Then she tried again, this time adding the future file name

This second attempt, the recording and encoding went smoothly, despite the video having a too big marquee. Only that, then our Intrepid Let's player went on listen, she discovered, horrified, that the game sound was overshadowed by horrible, horrible static. and this was horrible because she wanted to show the most emotional scene with the right soundtrack.

So This let's player will post on the hope to arrive to the 160th post so she can begin the finale in a new page, if she manages to screencap the last pasts of the fgame and record another session with better image ratio and no side banners.

(but seriously, I'll see if there are another recorder that can give me more control over the area to record, and try to convert the OVG output until I gert an editable piece of stuff)

... Okay, that sucks. Keep it up, Lequinni.
