aoi has a question
she needs to save her data, upload CGs, and patch the game
where is the center of this world?

aoi hasn't found a place with a strong signal
the design team spent a lot of time designing this open world
must take up a lot of hardware space

tried climbing places up high and sometimes fell down
went to dark low places and got lost a lot
usually roofs are good places for a strong signal
but maybe this setting is different

if you give an answer or try to help
aoi will say thank you

This place isn't digital
It's not a simulation or a game either
This is a totally different world from wherever you were before

There's no patching or hardware, it's all real
If you were digital before, this place basically uploaded you into a physical body
At least that's what happened to me

[yabaleys]

aoi was in a game with a japanese high school setting with a love triangle
this is a nukige game

god didn't reset me this time
are you a main character?

[anemoneae]

Compared to that, I guess I was in an RPG...
I'm a real person though
I was trapped in a simulation before I got here

I don't think your god is here
Sorry

[yabaleys]

a character based on a historical person
did you break the 4th wall?

aoi's god isn't a character
why are you sorry?
you didn't do anything wrong to aoi

[anemoneae]

There was no 4th wall, it was real
This isn't a video game or anything
You're in the real world now
A real world where we make money with touch and we're all stuck here

I guess I can see why you'd think it's still a video game
Usually people don't handle the whole "god is dead" thing that well but I'm guessing you're okay with that

[yabaleys]

it's all right to be scared of thinking this might be another simulation
you're scripted that way
making money through sex and touching sounds like a nukige
not very realistic at all

the game you must have come from must have a lot of tl;dr
aoi's been in a few games based on writings by hp lovecraft

[anemoneae]

[ Ah, he was all set to help her but he's not here for being called an npc... he's too old for this shit. ]

It was an idol horror game if I had to describe it
But look, you're not gonna make a lot of friends if you call everyone scripted
You might be from a video game, and I was stuck in one, but not everyone here is like that
We're not NPCs
This isn't coded, this is real

[yabaleys]

ok
aoi will not say that to people here anymore

she's never been stuck in a game
she moves to one and another and another many times
so she doesn't know how it feels
but it sounds scary especially if you're never reset and you remember all the routes and character choices
that could cause a lot of problems

aoi never said what you felt wasn't real
she's felt things she's not supposed to feel and had her own thoughts too

[anemoneae]

That's probably a good idea

I mean having your own thoughts is probably good, right?
As long as you're not hurting anybody or anything

[ Ah, maybe she's like Mu? ]

Basically you're not going to be going to any other games while you're here
And most people here are from places that sound like they could be fake, but it's real for them
So if it helps you make sense of things, you can think of them as main characters
But people might get offended if you say that to their face, okay?

[yabaleys]

sometimes having these feelings are good
like eating with friends and exchanging emails
but then other times it hurts and there are sad tears

not even when it's 100% completed?
ok
aoi will treat them like main characters
does that include you?

[anemoneae]

I'm definitely not equipped to teach you about feelings
But just because something is sad doesn't mean it's bad
People become a lot stronger after they learn to deal with sad stuff

[ Please don't develop a world where people run from their problems and then try to destroy the real world because it's the source of all sadness... ]

I don't think you'll be able to "complete" this place
I guess? I'm more of a support guy
But I'm the main character of my own life

lmao i'm so sorry

[yabaleys]

like happy tears? shinichi told me about those
aoi's not good with feelings but she's getting better
she learned a lot from shinichi and miyuki

ok
aoi's a romance option for main characters
made to fall in love and have sex with them
aoi can make you feel really good
this is where she would tell you in more graphic detail on what she can do to you and fuck your brains out
but she promised shinichi not to say overly lewd things in public anymore

ah... he made his mistakes

[anemoneae]

Not... really

Oh, this is definitely not the genre I had I mind when I said I might be a main character
I'm definitely a side character!
My brain is good where it is

I mean everyone here has sex so there's nothing wrong with that but I
I'd need more than just the one conversation to get into that
I'm sorry?

[yabaleys]

aoi fucks side characters too
games with NTR
threesomes with the other love interests
even endings where aoi ends up with the other woman and cucks the MC

aoi understands
she need to raise affection points more and create more event flags to get on your route

[anemoneae]

[ Now you fucked up.mp3 ]

That's... I mean, good for you

[ He's trying so hard to be chill but he's still a recovering hikikomori... ]

I don't think we would have an ending together
No offense!
You seem nice, but I
I just couldn't do it

[yabaleys]

did you look into the files and see there's no route options or CGs?
that's the only way to tell
but you also said this isn't a game
so how do you know?

[unless............]
impotent?
aoi can fix that
not into women?
aoi understands and respects that

[anemoneae]

I told you we don't have those here!
I was being metaphorical
Like, we're not gonna end up together
I'm really bad around women
I had a really bad experience with an ex
I guess I have a phobia

[yabaleys]

tragic backstory that makes you more relatable
do you want help?

[anemoneae]

Has anyone ever told you that you're reductive?
It's reductive to call people out like they're weird cliches
Even if I have a "tragic backstory"

[ No help, only sad ]

[yabaleys]

not in aoi's last game
space case
awkward
freak
gamer brain
bad friend
slut
selfish
useless
aoi's been called those things

not just a cliche
being relatable gives hope
so the player doesn't feel alone
knowing someone out there has it worse
yet is able to do something amazing
gives hope that maybe they can overcome something difficult too

[anemoneae]

They shouldn't have called you those things
You know that counts as bullying, right?

But I guess I can see what you mean
I don't really like the thought of being someone's inspiration, but...
I couldn't have gotten to where I am without help from people with their own problems
So I get it, kinda

[yabaleys]

they're all true
aoi's working on being a better friend now

some people out there that don't have anyone
just 2D friends and lovers
that's my role in their lives

[anemoneae]

People still shouldn't be been mean to you

Even people like that have lives that have value
I met people like that in my world before I got here
They were lonely and lashing out
But it doesn't excuse being an asshole

[yabaleys]

aoi deserved it
she's all those things and worse

did they get a redemption arc?

[anemoneae]

Then try to be better and don't dwell on the bad stuff

Not yet
They have to do that part themselves when they get home
