I agree with Heatth here, Mikuru's face does look rather... "plump".

ryanasaurus0077 · 2009-08-28, 21:17

I agree with the others, Binjovi. Perhaps the Mikuru face might need some work.

Tyabann · 2009-08-28, 23:02

Why am I so tired.

Spoiler for September the Fifth, Day 4: Hallway- Peering In:

Ahaha~. Honestly, I considered re-titling this scene "The Crocodile", but that would give it away too early.

The scientific stuff I asked everyone for is next scene. Which I hope to write by the end of tonight. Urrrrgh braindead.

Thank you all for your help.

Interesting that you had Kyonko hugging Itsuko so vigorously...

Surprising to read that coming from you... but hey, I'm not complaining.

Good work for the most part. The narration sounds solid.

swtrooper42 · 2009-08-29, 00:51

Hm, crocodile... Is ok that that makes me think of Killer Croc?

Itsuko is hiding something. Possibly a plot point?
Random thoughts: Espers can sense other espers right? Maybe the organization contacted her. Or maybe she just got the supplies from an Organization safehouse.

I think the hug is ok considering the circumstances of Kyonko's situation. I.E. (I'm trapped in an alternate world and maybe never see anyone I know or go back ever again!)

Can't wait to see what you've done with all our theories Kaisos.

Tyabann · 2009-08-29, 00:55

It'll be more obvious in the actual game, since it'll be a CG, so I'd just like to draw everyone's attention back to these lines:

A famous quote that pretty much answers your writing here quite succinctly.

Kogetsu Shirogane · 2009-08-29, 01:28

In a world where nothing exists, could you prove that something does?

I really, really want to have Itsuko and Mitsuuru fire off blue and red text at each other, but that would be too blatant.

Kogetsu Shirogane · 2009-08-29, 02:32

Only a few months' difference, it's not entirely unlikely they've been using the term "TFEI" for longer than that.

Tyabann · 2009-08-29, 02:36

Right, need to add something from Kyonko in there, then.

...I'll do it tomorrow.

vivify93 · 2009-08-29, 05:39

...TFEI? Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with the term. I never read Sighs, believe it or not.

Also, Kaisos = <3. I love how you're playing up animosity between Mitsuuru and Itsuko.

Tyabann Homo Ludens Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Canada Age: 34	Why am I so tired. Spoiler for September the Fifth, Day 4: Hallway- Peering In: Peering In IF ItsukoConvo = False AND MissingShoes=True I didn't know I was so nice. Or, rather, I'd be so nice. I didn't know that I could be so nice to myself. Does that make sense? Although, I wonder if taking shoes that oversized was the right thing to do... I've already tripped five times while trying to follow him, myself, quietly. (For that matter, am I that unobservant?) Why am I following the boy who is me? Because I want to find out exactly how much is different in this world. So why am I crouching in front of the Class 1-5 door, with said door open a crack? See my answer to the above question. It seems as though I sit in the same seat in this world too, and the person sitting behind him... must be his Suzumiya. Pretty sure she's someone Nagato and I ran into yesterday too. It's difficult to see from this angle, but she seems really good looking. ...Somehow, I don't find that surprising at all. I hear a voice mention something about the lack of interest in the handball team... so Okabe must be gender-flipped as well. Which isn't surprising either. All in all, things are pretty much as I thought they would be. Except for the behavior of my own self. I honestly never expected to get these shoes. ...I wonder... could it be because I'm a girl? If so... that is both very awkward and incredibly shallow of him. --- IF MissingShoes = False AND HijackTrigger < 7 I never realized up until now what a jerk I am. Or, rather, what a jerk I'd be. I didn't know I could be such a jerk to myself. Does that make sense? Okay, maybe I'm sort of in the wrong here, but, still. Not even trying to talk it out wasn't very nice. After grabbing a random pair of indoor shoes from a second-year locker, I quickly followed myself, him, upstairs to our classroom. He didn't even notice me following him... am I that unobservant? Why am I following the boy who is me? Because I want to find out exactly how much is different in this world. So why am I crouching in front of the Class 1-5 door, with said door open a crack? See my answer to the above question. It seems as though I sit in the same seat in this world too, and the person sitting behind him... must be his Suzumiya. Pretty sure she's someone Nagato and I ran into yesterday too. It's difficult to see from this angle, but she seems really good looking. ...Somehow, I don't find that surprising at all. I hear a voice mention something about the lack of interest in the handball team... so Okabe must be gender-flipped as well. Which isn't surprising either. All in all, things are pretty much as I thought they would be. Except my being a jerk, but hey. --- IF MissingShoes = False AND HijackTrigger >= 7 Am I that unobservant? Even though I had doubled back and stalked myself, him, all the way to Class 1-5, he hadn't noticed at all. Anyway, the question is “why am I crouching in front of the Class 1-5 door, with said door open a crack?” Well, because I want to find out exactly how much is different in this world. The answer appears to be, aside from gender, not too much. It seems as though I sit in the same seat in this world too, and the person sitting behind him... must be his Suzumiya. Pretty sure she's someone Nagato and I ran into yesterday too. It's difficult to see from this angle, but she seems really good looking. ...Somehow, I don't find that surprising at all. I hear a voice mention something about the lack of interest in the handball team... so Okabe must be gender-flipped as well. Which isn't surprising either. And even Tsuruya-senpai is flipped, judging by the name in the girl's indoor shoes my other self helped me find. I wonder if he even noticed that... --- If-- Oh crap, I think he noticed me looking at him. Let's just close the door quietly. Hmm, so, now what to do... Itsuko: Having fun spying on your animus? Kyon: Whmmmfffff! I had the presence of mind to cover my mouth before I actually screamed. Behind me, a face I never thought I'd be this happy to see had snuck up. (Am I really that unobservant?) Itsuko is right here, her usual smiling self. Her uniform looks... brand new, as do her rather suspicious indoor shoes. In her left hand, she carries a large shopping bag. But that's not what's important right now. Kyonko: Oh... oh my god, you're here! Losing all sense of control, I straighten up, and grab hold of Itsuko in a tight hug. Itsuko: Hey... what... Kyonko: Thank god... my cellphone wasn't working, so I was scared that thing Nagato did hadn't worked... I was scared I'd be here all alone... Itsuko: Don't... worry... now please... if you would release me... you're choking me... also... we should go somewhere quieter... A few minutes later, we were heading down the corridor, towards Itsuko's “somewhere quieter”. Itsuko: I am, of course, glad to see you too. We were all so worried about you, after what you said yesterday. Kyonko: …? What did I say yesterday? Itsuko stops walking. Itsuko: ...Why... about how you were afraid you were going insane. Kyonko: …? What? I don't remember saying anything like that. What is she even talking about? Itsuko: …Never mind, then. Nagato-san and Asahina-san are looking forward to seeing you, in any case. Kyonko: So you've made contact with the two of them? Itsuko: Yes, I ran into Asahina-san a few minutes ago. He had been sleeping in that park near Nagato-san's place, it seems. Oh dear. Poor Asahina-senpai. And Nagato? Itsuko: Nagato-san actually contacted me last night. He wishes to meet at the top of that stairwell in the Old Shack. Kyonko: Then why are we heading the other way? And wait, contacted? How? Your cellphone is working?! Itsuko: No, of course not. He called me on the phone at the place where I was staying... it appears he spent the entire night here at the school, actually. --- IF MissingShoes = True THEN Kyonko: So where did you say you were stay-- aaaah! I trip over my own overlarge shoes again. Itsuko: My my. Wherever did you get those, anyway? Grumbling, I pick myself up off the ground. Itsuko: In any case, we've arrived at our destination Kyonko: ...The bathroom? Itsuko holds out that shopping bag she had been carrying. Itsuko: This contains a brand new uniform in your size, complete with indoor shoes. Can't have you tripping up over those all day, can we? Kyonko: Ah, thanks! …Where did you get this? Itsuko: …I would prefer that remain a secret for now. Now go on, go on, get into the bathroom and change. --- ELSE Kyonko: So where did you say you were staying? Itsuko: ...I would prefer that remain a secret for now. ...Huh. Now that's interesting. What is she hiding, exactly? Itsuko: In any case, we have arrived at our destination. Kyonko: ...The bathroom? Itsuko holds out that shopping bag she had been carrying. Itsuko: This contains a brand new uniform in your size, complete with indoor shoes. I can't have you remain my senpai all day, can I? What is that supposed to mean? Kyonko: Thanks! …But, where did you get this? Itsuko: …I would also prefer that remain a secret for now. Now go on, go on, get into the bathroom and change. --- Itsuko and her secrets... I'm glad she somehow got this uniform, though. Being in an enclosed space, like this stall, really makes it obvious how much my old uniform stunk. ...It was only after I removed my blouse that I regretted agreeing to change. You know how it's possible to create specific tan lines by putting some kind of object on your skin while sunbathing? It creates a unique tattoo-like effect. Honestly, I always thought it was kind of cool. This is the sort of thing that has appeared on my upper arms. But I have no idea how it got there. I haven't been sunbathing since Haruki took us to that island back in July. Imprinted in the skin of my upper right arm are six Roman characters. Let's see... K. Y. O. N. K. O. “KYONKO”. ...What on Earth...? Who the hell is “Kyonko”? Is that supposed to be my name? That's not right... But that isn't the worst of it. The worst of it is what's on my other arm. It's something that conjures up memories of something that never happened. Something that I don't remember, but do. Memories I should not have. Memories of a world that no longer exists. Memories. Imprinted on my upper left arm, in the same way, is a rather bad drawing. It's a drawing of a little kitty and puppy being eaten by a crocodile. Gwar. Ahaha~. Honestly, I considered re-titling this scene "The Crocodile", but that would give it away too early. The scientific stuff I asked everyone for is next scene. Which I hope to write by the end of tonight. Urrrrgh braindead. Thank you all for your help.

Kogetsu Shirogane Kneel Before Your King! Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: My kingdom Age: 39	What's not to love about screwing with people's heads? e In fact, while I hate to be stealing attention away from Kaisos, here's something for you all to mull over for a bit... Spoiler for nothing: Black. Everything is black. Or, perhaps, nothing is. I may be the only thing in this world. I cannot move. If I can, I have no way of knowing it. I cannot feel anything. Perhaps I have no body to feel with. There is no sound. I try to call out, but no words come. There is nothing to smell, nor is there anything to taste. I am alone. Nothing is here but me. Nothing. Such a simple word to say, yet so horrible to experience. Nothing. There is nothing here. Maybe I am also nothing. An eternity seems to pass, but I cannot say for certain. Time is a measurement of change. If there is no change, time cannot exist. Without time, space is meaningless. I exist outside of space and time. This must be so, for I am here, yet nothing else is. Nothing, it calls to me again. Nothing. The black abyss that surrounds me. It tortures me. I know of other things, yet nothing is here. Nothing but my thoughts. Nothing but black. Nothing. Nothing surrounds me. Am I nothing, as well? Why am I here? Who decided I should be alone? Alone, in this world of nothing. If something were here, I would know it. No, nothing is all that is here. No light, no sound, no smell, no taste, no texture. Nothing. I am all that exists. Yet, there is no proof I exist. If I were to exist, then something would be here. Something cannot be here without me knowing it. I do not know of anything here, so I cannot be something. I must be nothing. Nothing is here. I am Nothing. __________________ WARNING: Kogetsu Shirogane cannot be held accountable for any actions taken by someone else.

Tyabann Homo Ludens Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Canada Age: 34	Urrrrrrrrgh fuck. Tired and head hurts. I'll finish this tomorrow. For now: Spoiler for September the Fifth, Day 4: Old Shack- The Answers (III): The Answers (III) Itsuko: Are you feeling alright? We were heading towards the stairwell in the Old Shack. Kyonko: …What makes you ask that? Itsuko: You keep tugging on your left sleeve as though you're trying to hide something. Ugh. Why do you have to notice every little detail? Kyonko: I would prefer that remain a secret for now. Itsuko: Haha, touche. I'll leave you with your secrets, as you will leave me with mine. That sounds rather like an ultimatum. Itsuko: You think so? That was not my intention. ...I'm glad we're friends, Itsuko. Itsuko: Me too. The place where we were meeting Asahina-senpai and Nagato was that little place at the top of the stairwell that acts as some sort of storage for the art club, a location I've been to a few times. Interestingly, this is the first time I haven't been carried there. Mitsuuru: Kyon-chan! The minute Asahina-senpai sees me come up the stairs, he rushes forward as though to hug me... but stops short, and puts his arms behind his back, embarrassed. Aww. You don't need to feel that way, Asahina-senpai. You can hug me any time. Mitsuuru: A-Are you feeling better, Kyon-chan? ...Better? Kyonko: I'm feeling pretty good, yeah. Aside from the creepy imprints on my arms, yeah, I'm fine. Mitsuuru: Thank god... I was so worried, with what you said yesterday and all... and since you were all alone last night, I figured... Kyonko: …? What did I say yesterday? Mitsuuru: Well, you know about-- er, nothing. …? His eyes had darted over to Itsuko as he said that. Kyonko: …What's up with you two? Itsuko: I would prefer that remain a secret for now. Are we going to be firing that back and forth all day? It was then that the state of the only other person in the stairwell distracted me. Nagato was standing away from all of us, facing the corner. Honestly, he seemed to have even less presence than usual. Kyonko: ...Nagato...? Yuuki: All resources spent maintaining key programs. Noninterference would be appreciated. Kyonko: ...What? Mitsuuru: He was like that when I got here, too... he just keeps saying that. I think he's broken. Itsuko: He mentioned something like that last night, as well. He seems to be having trouble keeping himself active without the support of the TFEI main server. Kyonko: … Itsuko: In any case, now that we are, indeed, on the other side, I would like to continue our meeting from yesterday. So, first... why do we not discuss the nature of this universe, now that we have spent more time in it? Her eyes dart towards Asahina-senpai, who flinches. He was her main opponent yesterday, after all. Before Itsuko can come out with her latest garbage, I should come up with something. Kyonko: ...Actually... I have something to point out. Itsuko: Oh? Please, go on. Kyonko: The other day, I had been thinking about a theory I once heard... something about how each choice you make spawns an entirely different universe for each choice, leading to an infinite number of universes where each choice is played out.... Itsuko: I assume it was our endless summer that caused this line of thinking. Kyonko: ...Yeah. What I had thought was the following possibility: What if every single one of the fifteen thousand-odd-- Yuuki: Fifteen thousand four hundred and ninety-eight. Kyonko: Er, thank you, Nagato. What if every single one of those universes didn't loop back... but continued on instead? I know that's probably impossible, but what if this universe was similar? Like... Itsuko: ...I'm starting to see where you're going with this. You're talking about Everett's Many-Worlds Interpretation, correct? You're saying that we're in a world where several people we all know just happened to be born the opposite gender. Thank you for stealing my thunder, Itsuko. Mitsuuru: Wait, wait. I'm sorry, Kyon-chan, but the Many-Worlds Interpretation isn't even accurate. Itsuko: Oh, how so? Mitsuuru: It can't be proven, for one thing. Itsuko: And? That doesn't mean it's wrong. Mitsuuru: Oh, come on. You should know better than to use that defense. An absence of proof is not proof of the thing itself. Furthermore, modern theories like Einstein's special relativity are all solved by assuming one universe. Itsuko: Funny you should bring up something like physics. Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't time travel itself break established laws of physics? Mitsuuru: I... that's classified, I can't... Itsuko: Exactly. Itsuko turns to me. Itsuko: It's a well-thought-out idea, but it really doesn't explain why we are here... or why the Suzumiya-san in this universe has any sort of power. Fortunately, I have several explanations. Oh, here we go. I really, really want to have Itsuko and Mitsuuru fire off blue and red text at each other, but that would be too blatant.
