Their reactions to ours

Post by Guestimate »

Just a thought I had. How do you think the characters would react if they could see these boards? Let's assume they get over the whole "Wait... there are stories of us?" and "Oh crap thousands of people have seen naughty drawings of us!" bits. How do they react to the people they've inspired, the lives they've changed, the hearts they've stolen, and the sleepless nights they've caused. Not to mention that, when their various troubles crop up, they each have probably a few hundred who would buy an overnight ticket to Japan on the spot, just to be there for them. And of course there's the annoyance at whoever doesn't like them... Anyhow, discuss.

Hmm, I'd never thought about that.
I would imagine that the girls would probably all be kind of shocked, and also touched.
The way they handle it; however, would be different, haha.
I would imagine Lilly staying clam like always, while someone like Emi would be more ecstatic about it.
To each her own, I suppose. ^.^

Rin would be intrigued, and probably read a lot of the responses with a reflective and bemused disposition. She wouldn't participate in any of the art threads, though.

Shizune would immediately declare it to be childish and pathetic, but would be secretly flattered, and would probably look at positive comments about herself when Misha wasn't around. She would also check all the polls to see if she was winning them.

Emi would find the whole concept a little weird, but would laugh it off quickly. I doubt she would read any comments whatsoever; she would just not think about it at all.

Hanako would be the most disturbed, and perhaps quite surprised. I can't quite decide if she would be secretly flattered in the same way as Shizune. She might get a self-esteem boost by everyone thinking she is so cute, or she might just be horrified at the massive amounts of attention from strangers.

Lilly would... not be able to read the forums :(
If Hisao read them to her, she would be cordially happy that her story (and others) made positive changes in peoples' lives. But she would secretly be a little creeped out.
If Akira read them to her, she wouldn't have time to respond, because Akira would be teasing her relentlessly.

I think it's safe to say they'd be all quite horrified and find the whole thing disturbing, particularly because, well, their most intimate moments have been spilled online for a lecherous audience to see. It's probably no different than real celebrities reading stuff about themselves.

I guess Shizune would be able to handle it well, due to her persona. Maybe Misha, too. Not sure about the other girls, some would go into a meltdown for sure.

Nah, Rin wouldn't like the attention either. She'd probably shut the world out and live in her own bubble.

Emi would probably be quite upset at the amount of time she spends in various states of undress. These are H-game fans, not her boyfriend.
I don't know what Misha's reaction would be, except that it would no doubt involve large amounts of WAHAHA, probably at poor Hisao's expense.
Hanako would play up to her H-scene and promptly die of embarrassment.
Lilly... well, I suspect it may actually be a good thing that KS has no real provisions for accessibility. I'm seeing years of pent-up emotion flash before my eyes: flamethrowers, chainsaws, and machine guns come to mind.
Shizune would get bored with the lack of competitive options.

Well, and how would you feel, finding a whole forum of droolers discussing the most personal and intimate aspects of your life? I guess sues would follow.
:wink:

They would probably get together and petition any and all legal authorities they could to get the game and site shut down and have restraining orders placed against everybody that could be identified from thier IPs. Hanako would end up doing this.http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/post/view/2609

Okay, I realized that there would be a lot of obvious negative reactions by them. I thought I had explained in the OP that I wasn't really interested in that particular aspect. Hmmm, new scenario then, imagine KS is a "based on true events" story done with their knowledge and consent. Yes, I know they probably wouldn't agree to it, but I'm trying to avoid the "Horrible End" here.

Hanako would probably implode if she could see these forums. Rin probably wouldn't even react.

They will find you all creepers and file various restraining orders against you.

Also, if Hanako was real, she will find all your white knighting bullshit annoying and will snap at you all for thinking she's cute because of her burn scars.
