But of course.

OH NO

Uh... yeah? I mean if you want to be a dick about it then fine, but you could have just said "you're playing escape now" and would've been playing by now, so... whatever. Ya fuckin' flowey-ass furry bitch.

You have a mouth on you that I don't necessarily approve of. That won't do you any good in this kind of game.

Anyways, greetings. I am the CGM, Computerized Game Master, for those of you with a quaint intelligence compared to others. The game "Escape" refers to escaping a death game. You will be put through a number of challenges with others in a number of death games, to which if you survive and escape the facility, you "win".

This "Quest" has a number of mechanics that move it forward in an RPG-esque style. So, would you like to start the Tutorial, or would you like to skip it?

>>702917
Sure show us.

>Did you honestly believe you had a choice?
Well, sure. We could totally go all "the only winning move is not to play" on you and just cease participation.

Yes.

yes

Very well, school us.

Good choice.

I'm going to go through this all in one go so make sure you are paying attention got it? If you do I MAY let you play the Director's Cut. MAY.

In this death game you will be surrounded by others who are trapped just like you. In order to progress, you need to communicate with these individuals to either befriend or kill them.

Either way, you start up a conversation by talking to them. You must use your best judgement to decide what will build up your friendships in the best way possible. Saying something stupid or neglecting their pitiful feelings can cause your affection to lower. Affection with a character is judged through the top right hearts.

Next is damage. Each character has a damage bar, these will grow throughout the challenges that are provided through these death games. Once the bar is filled, the character dies. At any point in time, if you type "attack" and "attack" get's the majority vote, you can harm the character in attempt to kill them. It is good to note that they can counterattack if they are not dead, which can lower your health. There is a way to automatically kill a character though. If the character is befriended, and you choose to "attack" them, it results in a "betrayal kill" which will automatically kill the character. Finding a balance between befriending and killing your friends and enemies is crucial to survival in Play Escape.

Finally, we move onto the "freedom gauge". In Play Escape, you are forced to choose based on choices that are given in the white text box. For each choice you submit, the gauge goes up. Once your freedom gauge is full, you will be notified, and allowed to submit a "free response" where you type ANYTHING and it has the possibility of happening, even killing a character in one go. When your freedom gauge is full, each response that is generated will be put through a randomizer and the top one will be the act enacted.

These are the core mechanics of this quest. Though, blabbing about it in a wall of text is really inconvenient, so I'll give you a few responses to go at it. Then we can begin if you are ready.

Can other characters betray us? What benefit does having friends give? What will we be doing when not in a conversation?

That was actually a pretty good explanation, so thanks for that.

>>702946
This sounds like one of those japanese VNs.

So the hearts are a conversion/capture meter, the right bar is the enemy's health bar, and the left bar is the limit breaker, which in our case allows us to suggest ANYTHING and it has a small chance of happening, we can kill enemies that we have befriended, but we get marked as Backstabbers.

Not sure where our player character's stats are. Other than that, let's get this party started!

You aren't going to interact with the doll? How rude. He just wanted to make a friend.

Anyways, yes now that I look at all of it, this "quest" does seem more like a dating sim or virtual novel instead of an RPG. Oh well, minor details.

Characters cannot betray you, however, they can end a friendship with you or break your progress based on your actions with them. Being friends with a character will influence them to do decisions that you want, look through their inventory, as well as give you the opportunity to kill the character when the chance is given.

Something I may have glazed over as well is that your actions, decisions, choices, thoughts, etc, will be in the white text box. Whereas character dialog, my commands, game information, that all will end up here.

Well you all have been good enough I suppose so I'll give you the choice, especially since you hurt the poor doll's feelings.

You can start now with a pre-determined character, or create your own. Keep in mind that the pre-determined character will have a selected gender, eye color, etc.

>>702984
Pre-determined. Because fast.

Give us that pre-made one.
Also apologize and hug the doll, we may never see it again but they will never be forgotten.

Cookie Cutter time.

Um... so if our freedom gauge when full will make us automatically do whatever is chosen then couldn't we all just say escape and win?

Let's see the pre-made char.

I want to see the premade character first, then I can decide.

GO straight into character creation and put all the sliders on one extreme or the other.

You want to SEE the pre-made characters? My my you are so selfish. Fine. I am feeling nice today. Plus you really sped through the tutorial with amazing speeds. Okay. Here are the Male and Female pre-made characters. You can choose to start as a male, female, or make your own.

What is your deal with that doll? The game you are about to play is a death game, not a 'hug people around and expect to get anywhere' game.

One last step before we begin, you must name this character. Either you can provide a name which will be randomly selected, or you can just choose to automatically name the character a default name. Then we can begin.

>The game you are about to play is a death game, not a 'hug people around and expect to get anywhere' game.
In my experience those things are far from mutually exclusive! In fact, people tend to crave intimacy even more than usual in dire situations.

Time to bust out the ol' Russian names list
Let's go with... Elvira Nocturn

Bellacroix Frolique

>The game you are about to play is a death game, not a 'hug people around and expect to get anywhere' game.
You say that as if we can't hug people before or after killing them. Or as if all games weren't hug games!

CGM: "Well then it's about time we got this show on the road. Welcome one and all, to our fabulous little game. You may call me the CGM. I am the being that exists on the monitor in this room located to the north opposite of where you all are facing in unison. Now the reason why you are all faced in such a lovely array, is because you are all centered on a grid where if you move, you will be electrocuted and will die. Now one of you is lucky enough to go around and chat with a few friends. Isn't that just great? I want to see five conversations while I set up the game. Choose wisely. Oh, and, don't think about escaping any time soon. The two red doors are sealed and will not open until I give the command."

[Elvira's damage and freedom meters are now displayed.]

Let's go E8, the whitey white one.

B2, D4, C1, E7, A3

I think the clue here is mainly the heterochromia. Pick the 5 people who looked like that doll or have heterochromia.

I vote we talk with A1, D2, B4, C7, and E8.

Of course, you all should have already guessed that. You will be staying in a hotel-like tower where you will have your own rooms styled off of your personality and background. Now this being a death game doesn't mean you can all go around willy nilly killing whoever you want. Killing is only permitted DURING a game, and there are some exceptions to that rule."

How can you be so sure those aren't gloves.

Don't really like our options here. Two to insult the way he dresses, one awkward um, and on awkward cheerful non-statement saying the obvious.

Not sure of "That's good" or "Um" makes us sound worse. I guess go with "um"? Maybe he'll offer something when prompted.

The point of being a mother is not that the child shares your blood, but rather that you impact the child in a positive way, sending them down the right path. She appears conflicted at first but then nods.]

EMOKI: "That... Well... You're right. I suppose I'm just being selfish. Being a mother would not be about that. There are children in this world who need someone that they could consider their parent if they don't have one. Even in this death game, it appears children were dragged into it, and I should not be crying over my own child but rather tend to them. That is what any good human being would do in this case. Thank you. My name is Emoki. This is really a different way to approach and look at the world. If there is anything I can do to help you, please do not hesitate to ask."

If you type "Item" you can share, trade, or compare items if your compassion is high enough. Finally, if you type "Date" you can go on a date with a character that has full compassion.

Well. Maybe. But he is well trained around other human beings and would never hurt them... Aside from that a few birds and a snake are in my possession.

Oh?

Though if you don't mind me asking, any reason why for that?

Hey, that's all right, I wasn't asking you out or anything.

You sure you want me to go? You looked like something was bothering you, and well, I don't think I'm that scary in comparison.

>>704955
We're not asking you out, we're just talking to people and trying to figure out what's going on. Do you know, like... how you or any of the rest of us got here, for example?

If you're not interested in girls, why are you afraid of boys? I'm getting mixed signals here.

Well, whatever. Nice to meet you, I'll need your help if we're going to escape this nightmare.

What are you afraid of? Commitment?

Ask if she enjoys bacon and tummy tickling?

Man you are a sicko ~<3 Too bad you aren't a boy or else I'd toooo~tally have my way with you, me being on top of course. <3 Being serious though, stay away from me you creep, I'm not into girls.

In her defense, that's not so far an assumption with the joke and tickling.

...hey, I wonder if we could get around that assumption by assuring her we're already going out with someone else, so we couldn't possibly be hitting on her for real. Sorry for the teasing.

>Why were you afraid before?
Being mad at me is better than being scared of... whatever that was.

I am sorry, but when you immediately assumed I would start hitting on you I couldn't resist teasing. You should lighten up a bit, see ya!

>Every character can be befriended, some just take longer than others. So if you want to kill them it had better be through game stuff.
I... don't see how those ideas are related at all. How does whether or not someone can be befriended has anything to do with how you should kill them? And does that imply the converse- it would be okay to kill them not with "game stuff" if they weren't befriendable?

I have gathered information about each of you, so after you have one a game and go to bed, you will be given a key to a hotel room that was personalized off of your backstory and also has any personal items you need.

What you will need to know is that everyone here has a story, some of you will be chummy little friends, and others hell-bent on killing you to get to the top. So be careful with who your friends are. As explained before, I am the game master. Every week I will be here on this monitor and you all will be put in this room.

Bunny Mask - Requires teams to translate an encrypted text.

Bear Mask - Two for one deal. To open the suit you must open the box. To open the box you must solve a riddle.

Tell him to pipe down and go be useful to his team. Getting in the way of rescuing the person in the suit will not be tolerated.

Approach the boy in the corner and ask for his help.

Isn't this a mostly sterile environment? I'm pretty sure the CGM at least washed us, so we should be fairly clean. Besides, you're far more likely to die from losing this game than you are to die from disease, so try to focus on helping us win maybe?

Let's just ask him if he's figured out anything about the riddle and the person in the suit.
He can deal with that area if he wants to monopolize it.
...Part of me wants to go see if our riddle is bound up with something the other groups are dealing with but...
A riddle? Where's the riddle?
Does one of us have to just, yanno, tell a riddle and then someone else solve it?

Flash them a thumbs up and ask them to look over the suit for us.
Once that is settled approach the kid in the corner. Ask them if they are alright and have any ideas about solving the riddle.

Go examine the suit anyways, asking him to help save the person in the armor. If he refuses and tries to keep you from examining tell him you will share your "filthy peasantness" with him.

What is that on top of the box? Is it some kind of tape, or a metal band, or...? (Or a piece of paper we're supposed to flip over and find the riddle on the other side).

>Try pushing the box.
Pushing it probably easier than lifting, and it would tell us if it was fixed to the floor or too heavy too move at all pretty quick.

>Examine the suit for an inscription or note of the riddle since it couldn't be found on the box.
Yeah, the creepo didn't say the riddle would actually be on the box. Might have been misdirection.

If none of that works, we could try a group effort to move the box, instead of one person.

>If anyone eventually asks why we picked this group
You had two things to do instead of just one. Seems like you needed an extra person for that more than the other groups.

Alright if anything the Lord's beaten us all to the punch of finding out where the riddle is. Does his lordship know of a place in particular we need to enter the riddle or can anyone declare it.
I believe the answer is 'The Moon', but at the same time it's not going to be useful to have the answer if we need to do something specific to use it.

Yep, it's gotta be the moon. Tell that guy that if he had just cooperated we could've finished this faster.

Go to the box and say "Moon".

Oh, neat, a kid in a box. Let's give him a reassuring smile and ask if he's okay. Then we can ask what he knows about the puzzle.

Remove kid from box, and hold them aloft a la lion king

[You attempt to be nice to the kid offering a smile and putting a hand out]

ELVIRA: "Hello. My name is Elvira. Are you okay?"

[Before any interaction can happen, the kid bolts out of the box climbing up the suit of armor. He seems nervous and scared.]

KID: "Daddy..."

PETER: "AH! G-get away from me you filth! The younger ones are always covered in germs!"

[Peter gets spooked by the kid falling back onto B2.]

[Looking in the box after the kid bolted reveals that there is another riddle. You pick it up, but before reading it you decide to question C8 about the boy since he seems to know him.]

ELVIRA: "Why not him? Do you know the kid?"

C8: "Yes unfortunately... He is nothing more than a clingy, spoiled brat. He is always getting in the way..."

A3: "Awww~ He doesn't seem that bad! In fact he looks really cute! And I love his style of hair, after all long hair is the new fashion haha!"

B1: "Hey he's really small! Like smaller than me! And I'm really really small!"

Hug kid

Read the note

Ask C8 how he knows him, and that he doesn't look like a brat. And read the note.

[You ignore C8's warnings and decide to try to level with the kid. You go up offering a friendly hug, but the kid declines by shaking his head.]

ELVIRA: "Come on, I won't bite. What's your name?"

C8: "Speak when you are spoken to! It's impolite to disregard your elders."

ELVIRA: "How do you know him? He doesn't seem like a brat, he just seems scared..."

C8: "Hmph. You wouldn't understand. He's always pulling on my teacher's coattails, acting like he has time for all the child like things he wants to do. Lucifer get down from that suit of armor and introduce yourself now."

A3: "Lucifer is his name? Well that certainly has a demonic ring to it, haha. Leave the kid alone, we can talk to him after we rescue this poor guy in the suit okay?"

C8: "Fine..."

[Lucifer shakes his head. He looks away and meekly repeats daddy again. It seems he won't come down until that suit has been opened. You look at the letter. It appears it is another riddle. The riddle reads:
I am the beginning of the end.
The end of every place
I am the beginning of eternity
the end of time and space.
What am I?]

>>708017
The letter e.

>I am the beginning of the end.
>The end of every place
>I am the beginning of eternity
>the end of time and space.
The letter E.

Thank you, Pagemaster, the PC game.

Face palm at A3's comment...anyways

Say E in front suit of armor to see if it opens like the box. You might want have the C8 try to get Lucifer off the suit first though since C8 knows him.

Get Lucifer off the suit before attempting to open it.

I can practically see Amiel tearing the suit to shreds because of "E".

Anyways, tell the kid that he needs to stop hugging the suit so you can take it off his dad.

[You attempt to get Lucifer off the suit, but he will not go anywhere near anyone else.]

ELVIRA: "Lucifer. You don't have to talk to anyone or be next to anyone, I just want you to stand by the suit so you don't get hurt alright?"

[After a little while he quietly nods and gets off the suit, C8 making some comment about it taking long enough. You hold back your face palm from A3's comment to get closer to the suit but not close enough to spook Lucifer away]

ELVIRA: "E."

[The suit begins to react.]

[The suit collapses revealing a tall man. He stretches a little and then calmly smiles at the group in front of him.]

???: "Ahh... Thank you. It was getting stuffy in the- oh?"

[Lucifer rushes into his father giving him a large hug, finally seeming to open up.]

LUCIFER: "Daddy!"

???: "Ah... It is good to see you safe Lucifer. I was worried you would be harmed."

[The man smiles patting Lucifer's head and holding him close. C8 seems happy that the man was released, but is giving Lucifer a look of pure envy.]

Seriously? That's a password an idiot puts on his luggage!

What do you mean, you were worried he'd be harmed? What do you know about this "game"?

>>708163
That does seem suspicious and C8 knew who was in the suit. Ask them what they know now that Lucifer's daddy is freed.

So... we have spare time I guess. Introductions?

Take a glance around and see how the other groups are faring.

Since the CGM didn't say that the game was complete take a look around to see where the other groups are at. If they are still at it talk with the new guy or see if you are able to help with the other teams so no one in the suits die.

Touching moment, really, suspicious as hell, but touching.

There isn't a rule against helping the other teams is there?

CGM: Oh yeah you want to help other groups out huh? About that. No. There will be other games where you have to choose a group. This isn't one of those things where everyone ends up happy. Groups will lose, people will die, and you will watch. Now talk with bear man.

[The CGM Voice in your head goes away. You begin to question C8, the new man, and Lucifer, since they all know each-other and are pretty suspicious. Approaching the man, you notice something familiar about him. You don't know what it is, but it almost feels like you know him.]

ELVIRA: "What do you mean you were worried? Do you know stuff about the game that we don't?"

[The man looks at you. He seems perplexed about something, looking deep into your eyes with a questionable look. He breaks the silence finally awaking from whatever day dream he was having]

???: "I was merely worried for my child. That is something that all parents do. I know very little about this game, I just worry for Lucifer because of his height and his nature. He relies a lot on me."

C8: "You really are so nice Alyward. Always looking out for Lucifer like that, you are a great man!"

ELVIRA: "Alyward? That is your name? So then who are all of you? How do you know each-other, and how did he know you were in the suit?"

ALYWARD: "Lucifer is my child."

[He smiles rubbing Lucifer's head]

ALYWARD: "He just turned 6 you know."

C8: "Alyward is famous roboticist! He develops all sorts of things like-"

ALYWARD: "Key, please don't bring up my past achievements. I thought we talked about that."

[Key looks a little upset piping down and acting like he did something horrible.]

KEY: "Yes sir. Sorry."

ALYWARD: "Never mind all of that. In any case, it seems I have you to thank for my rescue. Key probably knew it was me because of the height of the suit, and the fact that I came with a little box, haha."

[Suddenly B2 interrupts pointing at you.]

B2: "Why do you care? What is your deal? Why are you asking them so many questions, huh?"

Because we know nothing about this place or who we all are. Every scrap of information could save us in some way. For instance, since we now know this guy is good with robotics during the next mechanically inclined challenge we should listen to his advice instead of blowing him off.

Ignorance kills.

So... the CGM said we can't help the other teams but he didn't explain the mechanical reason why. Let's head over there and try to help them anyway. Either it's literally impossible for us to help them, in which case no harm done, or there is some punishment for doing so, in which case we learn some much needed info on the CGM's style of game mastery. Or maybe the CGM was just hoping that telling us not to help the others would dissuade us, in which case it's his loss.

You wake up in a room with dozens of people you've never met, with no idea how you got there. Honestly, why isn't everyone asking more questions?

Getting to know some of the people that collectively hold the power to end our life doesn't sound like a poor move. In fact who isn't to say that just by knowing a certain detail about you, we can save your life.
Also communication is key in winning any game.

>Why do you care? What is your deal? Why are you asking them so many questions, huh?
Because we're prisoners of someone who wants us to kill each other, and literally all we have is information, and each other. I don't see how any of us get out without asking lots of questions.

[You speak up to defend yourself]

ELVIRA: "I'm only asking questions because we are in a death game where we are supposed to kill or watch each other die. I'd like to at least know a little bit about everyone so we can try keeping most of us alive. Now that we know that Alyward is a mechanic, that can be useful in another game."

A3: "Yeah! I agree with the lil lady. Besides, getting to know each other helps weed out who are the bad people that we won't feel bad voting. Like if someone was a murderer then I'd be MUCH happier in voting them off instead of lil miss mismatch eyes here."

B2: "Whatever... I'm keeping my eye on you."

ALYWARD: "You both have a point. It's hard to trust people you have just met, especially considering the circumstances. Regardless, we are all in this together, and that is how it will remain for some time. Perhaps we can try to make new friendships out of this, or at least know who to be suspicious over or who our enemies are. I don't even know any of your names aside from Key and Lucifer. If we are going to live in this game, we must work together whether we like it or not. So let us agree to at least open up a little now that way we have some people to communicate with in the future."

[It appears that the group is open to communicating. You can choose who to question first or to get a little knowledge out of. Reminder that your actions in game can build friendship with other characters or lower friendship. Most of the rest of the group that has been quiet, seems to be conversing among each other now, while your side of the group was talking.]

Let's chat it up with B1.

I'd like to talk to A1, he? She? Seems like a chill dude and might be cool to know, unlike some of our other choices who we haven't really gotten along with...

Go along with Aylward's suggestion and get to know those on your team.

Look around to see who is available for talking. Try someone new.

[Before you can go to anyone, A3 breaks the silence and starts to laugh and speak up.]

SUNNY: "Hey hey! Then I guess I can start right? After all you seem like a good gal, you did help out someone out of the goodness of your heart. That sounds like a good thing a friend would do! The names Sunny~ I just like going out in my Hummer and delivering for my job at Pizza Hut. Really that's all there is I guess, I'm not that interesting. Ooh! Right! There's also my little sister! We hang out a lot~ Well anyways, as I was saying, you seem like a good person. Consider me your friend!"

[You gained one heart with Sunny by doing what you were supposed to do! He seems pretty relaxed heading off with B1 and talking with her.]

[You have some left over time before the game ends, but not too much. Probably two conversations worth. It appears that people have spread out into their own little groups. You can choose who you'd like to converse with or get to know better. The names of each individual are what you know of them, which is why most of them are a letter and a number. Hearts are displayed if it helps you know your decision.]

//TUTORIAL: Friend of a Friend and Statistics//

CGM: Since you didn't screw up and are surviving I'm pretty impressed to say the least. So I'll give you some pointers. Some people by befriending them, you will gain hearts with others. That is because they are a friend of your new friend. This is both great for strategy and for gaining stats. What are stats? Every character has a stat sheet, these include their Strength, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Cunning, and Luck. By becoming better friends with characters, you gain a point in their highest stat. EX. Emoki's highest stat is her vitality, so you gained 1 point in vitality. I'll get more into detail about this later, but know that the stats are fairly important.

Now back to the friend of friend thing, that is a double edged sword. EX. If you became friends with Blood, that guy that typically nobody liked, you'd probably loose friendship with people who hated him. It is a good plan to figure out who you can combo off of by paying attention to character relations. Okay that's all I have peon. Have fun communicating with the worms.

Take the suit of armor. When it's not busy asphyxiating someone, it could turn out to be useful.

I wanna talk to Sunny some more. He's a pretty nice guy!

Talk to someone new, I think the group at the top seems like a good choice.

We should go talk with D5's group.

>>708525
We haven't seen them at all yet so it would probably be a good idea

A1 and the explosive C4 appear to be lonely, but I don't know who to choose.

Yeah let's go with D5's group

Go over and talk to D5 and their group.

[You approach the group with D5 in it. You give them a warm smile as you approach, in spite of this, they all seem worried, scared, or on guard.]

ELVIRA: "Hello. My name is Elvira. Can I join you?"

B8: "U-uhm... sure.. uhm.. I'm Holly... nice to meet you.. uhm.. so.."

[The girl puts her feet together looking down nervously. She seemed spooked by the game and didn't seem all that comfortable. The two boys on the other hand, didn't talk at all, D5 seems to be eyeing you down.]


HOLLY: "Uh.. What would you like to talk about...?"

[She seemed really nervous. D5 seemed to be comforting her though. A7 was hiding behind Holly, in spite of his height.]

Tell them that you wanted to talk and get to know them. Maybe it would help ease their minds a bit. You are no harm to them and just want to get along.

Ask the boys their names. The more names we have the easier it will be to know who is who.

>>709377
Well, I was just hoping to get to know you!

Could I ask who you two are?

Hug them to show you are no threat. Hugs are magic.

[You reason with them being nice, calm, and collected.]

ELVIRA: "I just wanted to get to know the people on my team. It looks like we will be here for awhile so I figure we might as well get acquainted."

HOLLY: "Oh! Um... Okay! But... aren't you scared? I mean... this place is..."

ELVIRA: "Lets not think about that. What matters is that we are on a team and we will know each other for awhile it seems. So we can work together to try getting out of here. Um, what is your two names?"

[The boy with pink hair speaks up first. He has somewhat of an accent in his voice.]

NAO: "I'm Nao. It's nice to meet you. Sorry I didn't help much with the riddles, I was helping Holly and Hisaki calm down."

HISAKI: "This place is scary. A lot more scary then home. Master Nao was helping me calm down. Master Holly helped a lot too..."

[Holly immediately begins to fluster up and waves her hands spasticly.]

HOLLY: "Master!? No no no you don't need to call me THAT!"

HISAKI: "But you are a higher authority than me. You and Master Nao helped me so I am now indebted to you, Master."

[It appears that they all seem to have warmed up to you quite some bit and are open to any sort of discussion. They haven't gained enough trust to increase friendship yet though.]

Where did you live and what did you do before ending up here?
Also do you guys know why nobody seems to be talking to A1?

Hey Hisaki, why do you feel the need to place yourself below others? What's up with your mask? Why is your hair pink, Nao? also >>709806

[You decide to tackle Holly first since she appears to be the most opened up to you.]

ELVIRA: "So, Holly, where did you live before all of this? And what did you do? Do you remember how you got here? Or um, what the deal is with that kid over there in the corner?"

HOLLY: "Oh! I-I'm just a highschooler... nothing really special about me really... I like anime, if that's something..."

[Nao seems to be disgusted when she mentions anime, rolling his eyes to it.]

HOLLY: "I live in Wellington... and um I just woke up here really... It was freaky. Oh... that kid? We tried talking to him... but well... the first thing he asked was for us to vote him off because he didn't want to live anymore... Nao tried talking to him but he didn't seem open to listening to us..."

ELVIRA: "I see. What about you Nao? Oh and um, pardon me if this sounds rude but, what is with your pink hair?"

NAO: "Ugh... well to explain it basically, my mother is a nut about anime. She married my father just because he was Japanese. I think the terminology here would be a weaboo-"

HOLLY: "H-Hey! There's nothing wrong with being a weaboo! That's really cool that she took her love for anime that far!! You're like a living breathing Otome boy! It's really cool and, o-oh um.. sorry, continue..."

NAO: "In any case, she decided to name me Nao, off of some 'boy's love' game. She also thought it'd be great to dye my hair pink, like the character I was named after. Anyways, I'm not really open to discussing my past much more than that. Nothing against you, it's just classified. You seem like a good enough person, so I guess I can put trust in that..."

ELVIRA: "Okay, and next would be you Hisaki, why do you feel the need to place yourself below others? And what is with your mask?"

HISAKI: "My master gave me my mask. It is a symbol of his ownership of me, and I am not to loose it at any time or else I will be punished. I only put myself below Master Nao and Master Holly because that is where I am hierarchically. I am a slave to the Kaida family. You have shown a great deal of kindness to Master Holly, I thank you for that Master Elvira."

[Holly, Nao, and Hisaki have warmed up to you! You have gained some friendship with each of them. It appears there is time for one last conversation if you wish to continue with them or move on to one other character group. Then CGM will probably move onto voting.]
