The problem is the shadows behind the text act like a box. The box will occup easily half screen. A idea would be do a similar effect but without a box. Using havilly outlined letters.

It's supposed to be surreal and give off a "wtf is going on" effect.

I don't care what you have to do to give off that effect, but that's what I'd like, if you can.

Is it possible to flash the screen for every letter written for the green text? No wait that might not be such a good idea. Hmm.... Music will usually be playing during all scenes, so immediately stopping the music whenever the green text shows up might be a good idea. Also, perhaps the green text should be in an entirely different font compared to what is normally used in the game?

And on the topic of the green text's identity, I haven't given any thought to who it may be at all.

Spoiler for September the Fourth, Day 3, Universe 1: Cat and Mouse:

Cat and Mouse

Nagato is taking me up the stairs.


Kyonko: Why not just go outside the school!? And I can walk for myself!

Yuuki: The possibility exists that physical displacement may occur during dimensional transfer. As such, it would be unwise to put you in further danger by exiting a relatively safe environment such as the school.

Kyonko: We’re in danger right now!

Yuuki: In addition, the short-range scan appears to be malfunctioning. Correction, it has restarted.


We reach the top of the stairs right as Nagato says this… and he steps back… and jumps right back down the stairs.


Kyonko: Waaaaaaah!


As before, Nagato lands perfectly. The students around us are scattering in a panic, unsurprisingly.


Kyonko: Nagato, what—

Yuuki: Enemies ahead. Retreating to a safer location.


---

Nagato and I are looking down from the top of the stairs.


Kyon: …Shouldn’t we follow them?

Yuki: No need. The intruders can be cut off at the next location.


Nagato runs off down the corridor, me directly behind her.


Kyon: So what’s the ‘next location’?


---


Kyonko: The library!?


Nagato’s taken me to the library to hide. Great.


Yuuki: …Silence is requested when inside a library.


…Did he just tell me to shut up!?


Weaving through the bookshelves, Nagato eventually deposits me somewhere in the middle of the library.


Kyonko: Now what?

Yuuki: Performing short-range scan…


You have got to be kidding me. What does he run on? Windows ’95?


Yuuki: …Scan completed. Enemies at both front and back entrances.

Kyonko: Eh? Then we’re trapped?

Yuuki: …

Kyonko: Wait, question. Why are they even enemies? Why can’t we just talk this out peacefully.

Yuuki: …We cannot be allowed to come into contact with them no matter what.


With those words, Nagato bent down to my level…


---


Nagato’s plan is for us to cut them off here. If we can block both their ways out, they’ll have to come through at least one of us.

I can’t say I’m exactly confident in my ability to guard an entrance, though…

A sudden crashing noise echoed through the library… as one of the bookshelves suddenly fell over.

---

Nagato had grabbed me all of a sudden, jumped up, kicked off of one of the shelves, which went flying backwards, and landed on the one opposite.

I swear, my heart stopped about twice.


Kyonko: N-Nagato, what…


Without saying a word, Nagato jumps to the next shelf, his momentum knocking the one we were just standing on flying as well. Immediately, we jumped again, picking up speed. And again, and again… heading towards the big double windows set in one wall. Oh no…

This display of acrobatics has created a huge cacophony of noise, among them screams. Please don’t tell me you killed anyone, Nagato.

And with one final jump, we’re about to crash into the windows… I hear Nagato mutter something under his breath… and, once again, we pass through the window like it’s a sheet of water.

---

As I stare at the carnage in the library, I’m lost for words. At least no one appears hurt.


Kyon: Should we follow them…?


I ask Nagato, who has appeared beside me.


Yuki: Impossible.


Of course. No one normal could think of doing something like that, and it’d create way too much of a scene anyway. Just like this.


Yuki: All the bookshelves have been knocked down.


…Nevermind.


Kyon: Where are they headed now?


Nagato closes her eyes for a brief second, then answers.


Yuki: The…

---

Yuuki: …cafeteria.

Kyonko: Why there?

Yuuki: Large amount of students.


So it’d be easier to hide there. Makes sense.

We enter the cafeteria, Nagato dodging through students like always.

Near the back, however…


Yuuki: Enemies detected dead ahead.

Kyonko: What? Where?


Nagato wheels around… and knocks over some girl carrying an empty tray.


Girl: Hey! Watch where you’re going!

Kyonko: Sorry!


I apologize to her from Nagato’s arms.

Wait… that’s one of the girls from the pictures…!

I don’t get a chance to say anything else, since Nagato is now carrying me towards the kitchen, but I think I heard her mutter “weirdo”.

If you are who I think you are, you’re one to talk…!

---

I was about to climb through the tiny cafeteria window, but Nagato stopped me suddenly.


Kyon: What’s up?

Yuki: Intruders are no longer in that location. They are currently heading towards the back exit, through the kitchen.

Kyon: So if we hurry we can cut them off for real! Let’s go!

---

Kyonko: Hey, Nagato.


I asked as we dodged a cook.


---

Kyon: Have you ever considered that—

---

Kyonko: --the enemy might have a way to track us?


We had exited the kitchen through the back door, and…

Yuuki: Yes.


With that, he leapt… hit the exterior wall… and began running alongside of it, me still cradled in his arms.

…

Aaaaaaaaaaah!


Kyonko: Nagato what the hell what the hell are you doing?

Yuuki: Hiding is now without merit. Henceforth, running will take priority until the dimensional transfer is initiated.

Kyonko: What!?

Yuuki: Hold on tight.


We whipped around a corner at a blinding speed, and…


---

Kyon: Where… where did they go?

Yuki: Up.


I look up at the school building… and on one corner of the wall, I see a sudden flash of blue.

No way.


---

Just as Nagato was about to reach the edge of the wall, up onto the roof, he suddenly stiffened mid-run… and, with that, we fell off the wall.

…

Aaaaaaaaaaah!

Despite my utter terror, however, Nagato landed on his feet once again. Are you a cat or something?


Yuuki: Nyaa.

Kyonko: What, what’s wrong?


I asked, trying to catch my breath.


Yuuki: Access to that particular application is being denied. Executing backup plan.


…And off we go at full tilt again…


---


Kyon: How do we catch that!?

Yuki: Judging by the intruders’ current trajectory, they are heading for the gymnasium.


Heh… perfect.

Our gymnasium, by the way, has only a couple entrances and, most notably, no windows. We’ve got them now.

---

Kyonko: The gym? But if they pin us again, there’s no way out, right?


The basketball team had been practicing in here when we just barged in. They were, of course, staring at us.

Nagato paid them no attention and charged straight for the storage room. Isn’t that even more of a dead end!?

Once inside, Nagato finally put me down, and closed the door behind us.

Oi oi. What does this look like to the basketball players out there?

The storage room, by the way, is very tall in comparison to its width. Stacked high on many shelves are various sports utilities; bats, balls, the works.


Kyonko: I thought you said that hiding was for losers hiding is useless.

Yuuki: Not hiding.

Kyonko: Huh?


---

I look around the minute I enter the gym, as does Nagato across from me. No one can be seen except for a bunch of confused-looking basketball players.


Kyon: Hey, you guys, where did they go?


One of them points at the storage room.

Now if that isn’t a dead end. We’ve got them now!

I run towards the storage room, and wrench the doors open. As I do so, I hear a crashing noise, and…

I’m suddenly caught up in a flood of random sports equipment.


---

Nagato had, once again, grabbed me, and done his kick-off-shelves-to-get-higher-trick.

…Which, of course, destabilized them, sending mountains of sports equipment careening to the ground below.

I heard the door open and someone going “Aha!” but that quickly turned into the muffled, yet distinct sound of male screaming.

At the top of the storage room itself, Nagato spun around in midair and, I kid you not, roundhouse kicked through the wall.

We managed to land safely on the ground, predictably. Behind us, the chunks of concrete that formed the wall Nagato had smashed through floated in midair… and as Nagato muttered very quickly under his breath, the wall reformed, without a crack to show what had just been done to it.

My poor heart.

And with, that without so much as a word from Nagato, we’re off again…


---

Ye gods the pain.


Yuki: The intruders are now heading towards the old school building.


…Thank you, Nagato, but how did they even get out of that storage room? And could you help me out of here, please?

---


Nagato and I are now running up the stairs in the Old Shack, coincidentally near where Haruki first convinced me to join the SOS Brigade.


Kyonko: So why can’t we just go up the walls again if we’re heading for the roof?

Yuuki: Connection to the Data Overmind is being blocked in some areas. Alternately…

Kyonko: Alternately what?

Yuuki: What I am connected to may not be the Data Overmind at all.

Kyonko: …

---

Kyon: They’re heading for the roof?


Nagato nods, as we start to head up the stairs.

I’d say “We have them now” or something like that again, but very recent events have convinced me that might never be the case.

---

Nagato barges through the door to the roof, interrupting a tall second-year delinquent who had just wanted a quiet place to smoke.

Kyonko: Sorry! We’ll be out of your way in a minute!


Where are we going from here, anyway…? Straight of the roof, of course, given our current momentum. I guess that was rhetorical, huh Nagato?

Right before we jump off, I take a look back at the delinquent… who has just dropped his cigarette in shock.

I’d do the same thing in his position, especially since our trajectory is going to bring us straight into the middle of the pool oh god why Nagato why?

---

Yuki: They have moved again.


We were halfway up the stairs when she said this.


Kyon: From the roof!? Where the hell are they now?


Nagato does her focusing thing again, and…


Yuki: Their current position is…


---

I thought we were going to crash land into the pool, but Nagato muttered something else… and all the water turned into ice.

That’s even worse!

But instead of smashing into the ice, Nagato instead hit the surface… and slid all the way across the pool, landing on solid ground.


Kyonko: Haa… haa… why…


Behind us, the frozen pool returned to its normal, liquid state.

Nagato looked as though he was going to simply take off again, but I stopped him.


Kyonko: Nagato… wait, please.

Yuuki: …?

Kyonko: Please, let’s leave the school.

Yuuki: Physical displacement—

Kyonko: I don’t care!


I don’t know how to put this but… I’m in more danger when I’m with you then I would be if we rippled back into the middle of traffic.


Yuuki: Understood. Heading for the main entrance.


---

Kyon: ---the school gate!?


We’re now heading back down the stairs.

These ‘intruders’ of Nagato’s are clearly trying to escape.


Kyon: Now or never, huh…


Let’s get them.

Wait, why am I so excited about this in the first place!?

---

There are a couple students hanging around by the gates who gave us weird looks, but otherwise, we had no trouble getting out of the school.


Kyonko: So are there still enemies around?

Yuuki: Unknown. The short-range scan has broken down almost completely.

Kyonko: …Great.


Still, I think you can put me down now.

…On second thoughts, we’ll probably have to go back up the hill eventually, and if I don’t say anything, I can probably have him carry me up too.

…Nagato-san, can I hire you as a chauffeur?

Well, whatever. It’s fine just like


RIPPLE

Oh no it huuuuuuurtssss no no no but this is a good thing right but still no it hurts it tickles please oh god


Kyonko: Gaaahcck… Nagato…. Don’t… let me go…

Congratulations.

Long live the queen.

*ZZZZZZT*

Welp, that was fun.

Umineko either had an adverse effect on this project or a good one. I honestly can't tell which.

This took a long time to write. I hope you enjoy it at least a little.

I do think it needs refinement though.

This is my favourite scene of any written so far in the VN lol. ACTION FUCK YEAH!
The craziness at the end was better then the last time it happened... still a bit too weird for my taste. I think it's the whole "FEELS GOOD MAN" and overuse of the word "ecstasy"... Seems kind of awkward.

I really do like the combination of insanity, laughter and pain though.

No, I swear I'm not a sadist!

So, I've work more on the green text and is like this now:

Spoiler for image:

The quality of the image sucks, but you can get the idea.

Green text in my Universe 1?! No wai. lol.
We need an Otouto sprite! But I suppose we should get all the Universe 1 sprites done first...

Haha, true. Actually, all images we use as exemple have the greentext at the wrong universe

I used this to compare with Binjovi's. (als, this background is the only one that is done).

I have forgot to say, but we are probably going with HikariNiwa's idea about fonts right? A different one for the greentext.

(anyone has suggestions, btw?)

Another (irrelevant) thing. This imouto is not really like that. It was too big so I resized it. Though I didn't care too much about the proportion. So she is probably too thin or too fat.

Edit:

Kaisos suggested adding a green layer over it:

Haha, That's Epic.

[Aebliss]

I like the green film that comes over the screen when the greentext appears, but is it also possible to make the text appear as if it is being typed out, and have the rest of the screen grow darker with each word completed? That would be intrusive.

Probably. But it seens be really troblesome. Unless we really want it, I would prefer not.

Eh, what do you mean?

Oh, yeah, the rewrite is there for some days already. But this is not really an exemple of this trope right? The whole point of this scene is that is not ok Mitsuuru being raped by the Computer Club President.

Thank god it was one of my better lines that got put up there.

Amusing though.

It's a subversion, which was my point.

Of course, they didn't actually rape him, thus making it a double subversion, which was ALSO my point.

Well, this is not pointed on the wiki. The way it is there is like it was played straight. However, the exemple is a subversion.

I mean the green layer isn't particularly noticeable.

In response to the tvtrope wiki link, I managed to go in, read the article, and get out.

It is not supposed to. You will see it, because it appear and disappear with the greentext (so is easy to see the diference), but is not suppose to draw too much atention.

[Tyabann]

Think of it like the Matrix.
