The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya [Spoilers Aplenty]

[Ithekro]

Because it is slow and people have forgotten about the Social Board is for CRACK.

[DJ_RockmanX]

That board should accommodate an ISML discussion just fine then.

Meanwhile I need help figuring out what a meeting of the Seitenkan brigade minus Haruki should sound like when the topic is "Oh crap, we ain't in Kansas anymore."

[Ithekro]

Yuuki is calm. Typically only gives out information when asked and only if asked by Kyon.

Mitsuuru may be panicking...depends on if he is cut of from the future or not. Perhaps clingy. Situational.

Itsuko is contemplative and scientific.

Kyon-chan is confused and wants answers. Her tone will vary between her spoken words and her internal thoughts...though they may cross from time to time.

[DJ_RockmanX]

None of them can know what's going on, because they all have to be cut off from their superiors at this point in time. Mitsuru panicking because he can't reach his bosses will be hilarious as expected. Itsuko should indeed be contemplative and scientific, but it might be nice to actually have her seem a bit more concerned than compared with her reaction to "normal" issues that surround Haruki. And Yuuki will of course be calm and collected, but he definitely won't have all of the answers, which might initially shock the other three.

Eventually they all will be able to reach their organizations, but we'll need to have that happen at around the end of Day 7, which would be the end of the setup and relationship building arc.

[otai]

Kyon might sound panicked at times, but he usually understands that "shit has hit the fan" pretty well.
He only sounds confused when Koizumi starts giving out his theories, at which point he just starts demanding solutions.

For the funny, make the 2 Koizumis give conflicting explanations on the situation, giving Kyon a double headache.
"It's bad enough to listen to one crackpot theory everytime Haruhi causes trouble, but two of you acting like the Pushme Pullyu is just asking too much from my poor brain."

Also, have Itsuko acting pitifully troubled to arouse crying moe in Kyon. Then have Itsuki try the same expressions.

<edit>P.S. Since this is visinov is Type-Moon style, don't we need a legendary number of epic death scenes for the Bad-Ends? How about everyone contribute something for the '101 ridiculous ways to kill Kyon'?

Here're a few ideas....

1) Both Asakuras take him out at once
2) Yuki, Yuuki, or both go Asakura on him
3) Erased from existence because of Haruki

[Tyabann]

I never found Nasu's obsession with an inordinate amount of death scenes to be a good idea.

It makes sense in Fate because Shirou is in a WAR and any wrong decision would cost him his life, but here... it isn't nearly as dangerous for Kyon.

Well... it is, but there's no godly epic-level characters targeting him specifically, so...

[DJ_RockmanX]

We can put all the creative ways of killing Kyon in Itsuki's overactive imagination when he becomes the Big Bad of the Esper route. But otherwise I think we should keep things to a relatively normal level, outside of shit hitting fans when things go wrong in the normal playthroughs.

[Ithekro]

Do the BAD ENDs need to be bad?

Could they be considered good...from a certain point of view?

I'd say the ones you're talking about would be the "normal" endings. The BAD ends would be unmistakably negative.

Like Kyon and Kyonko switching bodies for no readily apparent reason...

[Tyabann]

You guys are kind of missing the point.

We're trying to create something as dark and angsty as possible.

[C.A.]

Like Haruhi becomes angry and summons evil tentacle aliens from the subterranean parallel universe?

No, see, that's "silly".

And it would also turn this into an eroge project.

It isn't already?

I said "Type-Moon".

I think at least one of TYPE-MOON's current works-in-progress is a non-ero visual novel, but I could be wrong. But yeah, I suppose you're right. XD

Yeah, the history of the Aozaki sisters.


Also, about ero-ness... I find sex to be a very useful plot device, myself, especially with it connotations.

The main purpose of the Esper Route, for example, will be to make Kyon look absolutely horrible, as there's very little to his relationship with Itsuko outside of sex.

...I see.

[Tyabann]

Yeah. I love angst and negative character development. Good times.
