[CONTINUE + 3] Week 1 || Act: mingle

[foundationmods]

Monday comes onto the snowy town once more, though it still looks as if it's 'night' as ever.

Then again, you are underground. That's just to be expected, considering no natural light can get down here in the first place. The Monsters around you are just as friendly as ever, despite this being your fourth 'time' trying this monday.

There doesn't seem to be many Monsters here...or at least, you think there was more before? Huh.

Well, whatever.

You still have a mission - And with three trials under your belt, you're now a little closer to figuring things out.

...How much longer will this repeat?

"Inaba said in a ponderous fashion as she distantly recalled all the examples of other people's lives she witnessed via this format..."

[dereban]

Honestly, I'm expecting the narration to refer to me by first name at this rate.

[The player is trying very, very hard on that front.]

Also, I will note that an alternate version of 'myself' has a format like that.

[cw_suicide]

You could also be a first-person narration.

I fully expect my narration to be like that, considering how my "story" is based off of certain works.

"Jibun" this and "Watashi" that.

[dereban]

Ah - well...

If we're talking like that, my story switches from first to third person depending on the narrator. Since my series has multiple protagonists. It could be something like that.

I also know in narration, me and the others are differentiated by the version of 'I' that we use - mine is 'atashi', in katakana.

[cw_suicide]

It's interesting! Because 1st person narration is always very limited? While 3rd person can be a bit more broad.

So it could be telling about the character depending on whether one is use over the other.

Now, imagine... our narrations being 2nd person, instead.

Though that definitely implies someone making us take directions.

[dereban]

[You wish I was using second person narration...

...wait.]

That's true. But first person narration can be utilized in ways that third cannot, right?

But in that sense... what I said before during one of the earlier meetings probably stands. That there might not necessarily be 'malicious intent' behind what's going on here. Even if it's still shitty.

[cw_suicide]

Some forms of entertainment to some people are torture to others.

[dereban]

Ain't that the fucking truth.

[Absolutely speaking from experience, there.]

[cw_suicide]

[he def heard enough about witches and their bullshit from Battler, so...]

Well, if it's something like that, we just have to get on their level somehow.

[dereban]

That's going to be the hard part...

Well - if it's supposed to be a 'game', at the very least we have a minimum of two people who can program.

I wouldn't want Dazai-san's voice as my inner narration.

[cw_suicide]

"Ren lied. He completely expected that Dazai-san would have the perfect voice for his character and thus should, in fact, narrate his story more often."

[justonezero]

[Raising his hand!]

Ooh, me! Narrate me next!

[As usual, Nanashi's focus is... questionable.]

[cw_suicide]

"As usual, Yoshi's focus was... questionable. But it really looked as though others were having fun and he wanted in on the action. Thankfully, Dazai seemed happy to oblige!"

[justonezero]

Heheheh...

[He does indeed seem pleased.]

[le_mat]

You better not!

Plus we all know my inner narration is the Smash Announcer.

[Ren pitches his voice down just a tiny amount and projects a little:]

AND THE WINNER IS... JOKER!

[it's absolutely perfect]

[cw_suicide]

"Random recorded applause sounded in Ren's head as he recalled the game he happened to be a star in which this humble author knows nothing about and thus cannot go into great detail."

[le_mat]

You should play with us sometimes once this is over. I bet you'd get a kick out of it.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Trying your hand at the matter? I admit - I am not quite the storyteller as my writer.

[Was he referring to Watson or Doyle?]

[cw_suicide]

"That was always Doctor Watson's forte, after all. Taking the detailed information and laying them out in a way that would engage even the most basic layman so they could better understand the situation as it unfolded. Oftentimes, it was far more dramatic in Watson's version of events, but nonetheless, it was an effective way to disseminate the information which could have only be uncovered by the Great Detective himself."

[he went with the canon author rather than the author author, listen]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[A nostalgic look crosses his face]

Though I usually don't call myself 'Great Detective', I am not that egotistical.

[And dealing with Erika Furudo even for a short period of time was enough to tamper such tendencies he might have had]

[cw_suicide]

The problem when someone else writes your own narration, honestly.

It's not always so accurate.

[improbablenotimpossible]

That indeed - I seem to remember a few shows and games that use that as a point of comedy.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen can't hear this reference to Erika, thankfully.]
