[deto]

What, you want me to be into sadistic people? But either way, I wanna see you try ‘cause it’ll be cute.

[justonezero]

If you're interested, I don't mind trying it?

[We continue to wonder if Akira is secretly yearning for roleplay-]

Ah- this game isn't one with different endings, though. Most of those aren't multiplayer.

[deto]

[ well ]

I think a lot of my life is gonna be spent watching you play stuff, so that’s fine with me.

[justonezero]

For the single player ones, we can pick dialogue options together!

[That said, selecting his character! They all pretty much play the same, but he goes for one dressed in white as there is sadly no pink option.]

[deto]

[ dangerous idea because deto’s logic is sometimes upside-down and yoshi’s logic is inside-out. but they’ll meet in the middle, for sure ]

I’ll go for the guy in black.

[ which might be a female character, but he can’t really tell ]

[justonezero]

Everyone basically plays the same, and the combat's pretty simple, but there's fun secret areas if you break the right bricks!

[Thankfully the first stage is pretty simple, and the first area doesn't even have any enemies so they can get their bearings and try out their short range and long range attacks.]

The story changes depending on what characters you play, too! Your character is a kunoichi who fell in love with her mark, so now she's going back to destroy her clan so they can't kill him!

[Such pathos for a smattering of pixels which may or may not resemble said kunoichi.]

[deto]

[ he’s following along until - ]

Eh? Isn’t that a little extreme?

[ and yet yoshi said it so enthusiastically,,, ]

[justonezero]

It's okay, my character's backstory is about how he grew up in poverty because the land was taken over by a cruel lord with a bunch of shady ninja at his beck and call, so he trained in the blade so he can fight them off himself!

He's got bones from three ninja who attacked him tied at his waist as lucky charms.

[Not... That it's easy to tell through the blobby pixel art.]

[deto]

Wait. Is my character in love with yours? Are you the mark?

[justonezero]

Huh? No. The mark isn't playable. Most of the playable characters' stories don't really intersect until the end. They didn't fix that until the sequel!

[deto]

[ oh, the sequel. that means sequel dates. he’s ok with that ]

Then don’t we need to come up with a story for why our characters are traveling together?

[ also why are these ninja clans just attacking everyone ]

[justonezero]

Oh... I guess we can?

Maybe it was a meet cute? They ran into each other or something...

[deto]

Meet… cute…?

[justonezero]

Yeah. Like when two characters turn a corner and crash into each other, only to find out they're in the same class!

Except in this case I guess they realized they're both after the same guy?

[deto]

[ that sounds like shoujo stuff his sister would like ]

And then they… fall in love? What’s the cute part?

[justonezero]

Their meeting is so awkward, it's cute! Plus it forces them to get to know each other faster than normal.

[deto]

Were we one then?

[ was it awkward at first? not enough to keep them from talking and talking. or from him reaching out and brushing yoshi’s hair aside to see his startling eyes better ]

I did meet a cute.

[justonezero]

You know... I guess we were?

[Huh!]

[deto]

So we’re a trope.

[justonezero]

...I guess we are, huh...

[Kind of paused like this is a Big Realization.]

[deto]

I dunno if we would make a good video game, though. Not even a dating… what, sim? I think? A dating sim.

[ early stages mean it only takes him the slightest bit of concentration to play and chat ]

[justonezero]

[Nanase's played this enough times that he's barely paying attention and moving almost entirely on muscle memory. He'd be a great streamer, honestly.]

Dating sims usually have more than one target, anyway.

[deto]

[ (streamer bun… deto would be the first to subscribe and follow- )

he makes a face at yoshi ]

It’ll be a beat-’em-up if game me has competition.

[ (and if he were made a mod, he’d auto-ban anyone who flirts with bun) ]

[justonezero]

[He cannot have an audience based in thirst...]

Haha! Maybe if it combined the visual novel stuff with the beat 'em up stuff?

[deto]

Can it still be visual novel if the only true ending is you with me?

[ a beat ]

There’s no bad end because you should get everything that you want.
