Random KS Discussion

I'm not going to write a Rika route. I might do some short stories, but no route.

HOWEVER, if I did, I would use the following ending.

Bad Ending: Rika and Hisao have been arguing. Not just once, but as an ongoing thing over the last few weeks. It's starting to show on Rika. She's not looking that good. She's been skipping her medicine not every day, but maybe ever few days. Finally Hisao, both worried about her and still caring about her gets one of her friends to meet him alone.

While trying to tell her how he really feels, she has a heart attack, somewhat mirroring Hisao's introduction. The Final CG would show Hisao cradling her, not sure is she's alive or dead … but it doesn't look good.

Neutral Ending: Hisao actually graduates a year before Rika does. They keep in touch as he moves on, but interactions become less frequent. When he tries to call her the day of her graduation, he learns her phone has been disconnected. It's the last he ever hears of her.

I did indeed do a Rika arc, and she did have that heart attack in it—just not with Hisao.

Actually, there's a lot of space left in my Rika arc and I should probably fill some of it in...

I believe that the lilly X Hanako would be a terrible pairing, mostly because of the fact that they have such a fragile and unhealthy realationship as it is. hanako wants is to be her own person and to be treated everyday with respect by her peers rather than just her birthday (that's like a really really condensed version of her arc but stay with me) and lilly just reinforces hanakos feelings that she needs to be protected. By buying her shit that she would only ever use to contact lolly on (the phone) and never introducing her to the plethora of freinds that Lilly has. I might be explaining it wrong but I think a realationship romantically between them would be seriously fucked up because hanako would be even more reliant on Lilly than the unhealthy amount she already does. Then again if it was an AR fix then maybe it could work but with the friendship they already have i just can't see it happening

Yesterday I saw a performance by a chinese troupe in which all of the artists are disabled.
It was fantastic. I found a few videos on Youtube:

Behind the scenes

Thousand-armed Guanyin

The Soul of the Peacock

If you pay attention you can see the person directing the performers at the side of the stage because they cannot hear the music...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I haven't been around in two years and I'm curious: when did Mirage_GSM took over the library from Comrade? And does anyone know what happened to Comrade, or did they just drop off of the face of the Earth?

I believe Mirage_GSM accepted that responsibility in August 2015 with Comrade's blessing. I'd assumed the Book Club responsibility in March 2015 with Sea's blessing, so it was a sort of changing of the guard, I suppose.

Hope they might pop up again some day. I liked those guys.

In all seriousness, at least one of them had the other until the very end, and then the other didn't suffer for long. That's awful though... 'normal' in a way, but still.

Nice to be reminded that there is, in fact, some good in this world.
(Also, I am really curious about those compressed-air powered wheelchairs.)

Amazing story. That guy is a true hero.

Started thinking about which KS character best embodies each of the Seven Deadly Sins. (The fact that I've been re-watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood may have something to do with this.)
Envy: Misha, at least in Shizune's route, where she wants what Hisao has. (Namely, Shizune.)
Gluttony: Nomiya. Not only is he fat, but his desire to "consume" Rin's artwork nearly causes her to have a breakdown.
Greed: Shizune. Maybe she's not joking when she talks about wanting to take over the world... (And in a point of similarity to the Greed from FMA, she truly wants friends.)
Lust: Lilly, what with her Healthy Adolescent Sex Drive and all.
Pride: Jigoro. Do I really need to explain why?
Sloth: Rin. This girl pays no attention to deadlines whatsoever.
Wrath: Hanako. Watch her bad end if you don't believe me.

Never saw Hanako's bad end. I wont. One of my good friends who also played through KS, did so in its entirety. He said to stay away from her bad ending as its just too heart wrenching. Im inclined to believe him.

You should watch it.

It shows you a side of Hanako you'll never otherwise see. Honestly, I think it makes the good ending even better know how close they were to completely blowing everything up and how even Hanako was wrong about what her problems where.
