so i was sittin here thinkin
you ever see those manga that have those titles like
"I'm Being Haunted By a Handsome Ghost and Somehow We Got Engaged?!"
or like
"I Befriended a Rowdy Boy Through a Rift In Time and Now He's a Dragon?!"
or maybe
"Turns Out the Guy I'm Dating is a Famous Idol From the Future?!"
those ones
so do you ever think back on those types of manga and wonder what it'd be like to actually live in a story like that?
what would the title be?
though i guess for most of us, being here in prismatica is like a manga story on its own...
[ ooc: if you need inspiration for isekai titles/their format here's a shindan to generate some generic ones! ]

You could make a lot of isekai titles with most of us, probably
We're all trapped in a world that runs on touch-magic
Though light novels are more popular for kinds of titles, manga usually have to be shorter because otherwise it's a hassle for the magazine
Mine would probably be:
"Trapped In a Simulation with A Sentient AI Who Just Wanted To Help People But Actually She's Gone Insane!"
or maybe:
"Get Me Out of Here! My Evil Ex Followed Me Into A Digital World And Now I Can't Go Home"
I'd probably skip it if it were me, those sound awful
no subject
yeah that's kinda what i was thinkin... it probably applies to everyone in some way or another now that we're all here and stuff
but woah, AIs and stuff? and digital worlds?? that sounds like that one anime from the 90s...
[ digimon. he means digimon. ]
no subject
We got pulled here for reasons no one knows and we're the only ones who can make chroma to save the planet
It's pretty textbook, except for the part where there's so many of us
Oh, yeah! I know the one you mean
[ Hello, he's 30, he definitely knows Digimon ]
Mine wasn't as exciting as that
It was like a simulated high school for people who wanted to run away from their problems
So like, I was in the simulation but my body is probably in a coma, back home
Kind of like that one series, you know? The video games where the players couldn't log out
[ it's... you know... more like .hack but not as fun... ]
no subject
[ thank goodness they're on the same page. ]
but woah that sounds
kinda awful, actually
[ he only just barely is aware of .hack, but he gets the gist! ]
do you at least get to do neat stuff like magic spells or whatever in this simulation? i feel like if it was just a normal high school, it would be more like living in hell or purgatory...
no subject
I try not to think about it too hard, honestly
But yeah, it sucked
A lot
[ Prisma isn't so bad, thanks ]
The high school part is the worst
They made us loop through after you finished 3 years
So I'd been a senior a few times now
We did actually get cool powers and stuff eventually
But that was like after years of repeating the same thing every day
By the second time around I started just sleeping through my classes
no subject
what kind of powers did you end up getting? anything good?
no subject
For the most part, people would forget the real world when they were there
So it wasn't really that hard, sticking to the script and playing along
Just like, a cool gun and the power to snap people out of their own heads when they're wrapped up in their traumas
It sounds kind of weird when I write it down like that
But it was called a Catharsis Effect, so it... helps people find catharsis, I guess
no subject
[ ...keigo that's a dumb thing to say ]
but wait, so like
you shoot people to help them resolve their issues??
man i sure wish i had that kind of power...
no subject
But I'd want a refund too
It's kind of like if you were having an emotional breakdown, this thing would help you think clearly
It's kind of weird actually
But people trapped in this world were all people with different kinds of issues
So like if you let those issues control you, you'd turn into a weird puppet-thing called a Digihead and just lose all sense
So enough shots with our weapons helped people stop freaking out and think for themselves
It's about as weird as it sounds
sorry about the delay!
wow what the hell! that really sounds freaky as shit! i mean i guess in the long run... being stuck in a game like that would probably cause a lot of issues... so it makes sense
so it's probably really useful to have, right? i'm sure people rely on it...
though it's kinda depressing to think that you'd be needing something like that frequently
no worries!
But yeah it was too bad that so many people would end up brainwashed and stuff
That was one of the reasons why we were trying to shut the whole thing down
Wouldn't have made a good a book, though
Too many random battles
no subject
[ if any of them go back, that is. ]
but yknow that's what editors are for, right? i'm sure with the right wording, it'd make for a compelling novel!
honestly, from the sounds of it, it might even be the type of story to get picked up and adapted into an anime, too......
no subject
[ He wants to go back please... he doesn't want to be stuck at 18 forever. ]
You think so?
I dunno, anime aren't as long nowadays, they'd have to rush a lot...
Or maybe cut some people out
[ don't watch the Caligula anime, it's bad ]
no subject
[ ...keigo's from 2003. certainly a... time... ]
i think how you explained it is way more interesting than just to be made into an OVA or something!
no subject
But they don't tend to do it like that anymore
[ Ah yes, the days of everyone and their mom getting a 50-100+ episode anime series... ]
That's fair, I guess
If they gloss over everyone else, maybe
Haha, some of my friends would be pissed if they got written out
no subject
[ sad that that's what he defaults to anymore, sigh. ]
i don't blame them, i would be, too
though with my luck, i'd probably be one of those characters they introduce early and then forget about for 100 chapters... so basically, no presence in an anime version!!
[ s w e a t s ]
no subject
Honest question
[ oof... at least they don't rewrite your story to give the player-insert main character their own weird background... ]
Yeah I have a friend like that
No offense to him
But it'd probably end up being about me and I really don't have the personality to be a main character
I'd rather leave that to someone else
