Tokimeki Canada Edition: Let's Play Heartstrings Bugs!

Our heroine is still a little dazed by her newfound sense of power.



Well uh, I'm just sitting here and recording every aspect of your daily life for the next three years for the amusement of random spectators on the internet. Pay no attention to the man behind the curt-





Oh, just talking to Vi. Whew.



I don't blame her, Vi is pretty great.

Also, it turns out Vi was actually hiding under her dress, not behind her. That explains the hobo pawing at her skirt.

Vi continues to gleefully document her responses. Canada's patience is running out.



Her UN meeting school starts in 15 minutes, and she's going to get answers if it's the last thing she elbows hard enough in the face to knock into a coma.

Canada makes for a pretty great protagonist. I'm starting to think I just really prefer a protagonist with a bit of personality, especially if she has a spinal chord to go with it. Vi is hilarious, too. I think I found another game to play over the summer.

Hey, didn't they turn Hetalia into a game in a school setting? In which case, Canada needs a pet bear oh, I suppose Vi will suffice.

Canada is best protagonist! She's America's hat!

And Blaze Aleixo is my new pixel-boyfriend. You're all going to think I'm crazy for, like, the first half of his route (unless, like me, you also think that it would be an excellent idea to ride a shark or wear a costume to a date at the mall because fuckit), but then you'll see. You'll all see. *swooshes dramatic cape*

*stalks off muttering crazily to herself*

This game is harder to figure out than Tokimemo. How do I join a club?

You can join a club in October after Tamera talks to you about it, on Friday. You can also quit whichever club you're in by pressing Quit Club after selecting the club option on whatever day the club's scheduled on.

The next update'll probably be after the holiday season. Still have a lot of prologue to get through before we get to the meat and potatoes!

Tip: Raise your charm early on so you can get a part-time job! Intelligence is also super important since your allowance depends on it, but the most important thing early on is getting a good job. Jobs raise stress a lot, but they pay really well, and buying food/drinks at the convenience store or cafe is a lot more efficient than sleeping. When you think you have enough money to last the rest of the game, feel free to quit your job!
It's okay to quit club after you get your target's phone number or the club CG, too, if you can't bear to miss one day a week that could be used for stat raising. Remember you can't rejoin or reapply to any clubs or jobs you quit, though.

And do you know how to raise the cooking stat without joining the cooking club or befriending Alice? Alice is my favorite, but I don't want to wait that long to not choke Lucas with my awful picnic baskets...

Thanks! I haven't played much yet but doesn't her mother teach her cooking sometimes?

That's the only other way to raise cooking as far as I'm aware, yeah. It's not a skill that's needed unless you want that Alice club CG/lots of picnics, though.

So, is this thread continuing? Because if not, I volunteer as tribute to do Blaze route. But only Blaze. Otherwise, I will sit on my hands and wait patiently.

Blaze sounds awesome from what everyone's said of him. I would give you a capital 'A' for Awesome if you could do his route :D

I also want to romance Tamara: best gf that throws great parties and gets jealous? I like!

This. would. be. epic.

And for all Community-watchers, February 7th is the new October 19th!

Would you guys want me to start a new thread? With new protaga-chan, since we haven't gotten very far into the intro? Should I do the intro, or just skip to this part? Hm. Thoughts, anyone?

There's so many Tokimemo threads and some are the same game, just different routes. I think a new one for Bugs will be fine.

Ok, I'll try not to bore everyone! (I may use the same forum-approved 'build' for protag-chan since everyone already took the trouble of voting, if no one minds. It doesn't seem to affect the final outcome that much as far as I can tell, other than dictating when you get birthday gifts)
