Man They Weren't Lying The Rates In This Game Are Fucking Mean

So, I've still been thinking about if TDBK MC went to TWST by accident, and I've been wondering.

Obviously they would end up sending some ghouls to go get her. That's the inspector, after all, they won't just leave her there once they figure out where she went. But who would they send? Which ghouls would be chosen to retrieve their dear Tokutaisei?

I've come up with some (fairly reasonable imo) requirements for who would be able to go, but I'm still not entirely sure.

No. 1, their absence from Darkwick (and/or appearance in NRC) cannot be blamed for harm caused to themselves or others. So no to Towa, Haru, Taiga, Ed, Rui, Yuri or Jiro.

No. 2, their responsibilities cannot be significant enough to cause destruction or disarray in their dorm upon their absence. So no Jin, Thoma, Alan, or Romeo either. Let's throw Subaru and Haku in as well bc even though Hotarubi seems chill, Subaru is a Dormhead and Haku is regarded as the responsible one.

So far that leaves Luca, Kaito, Leo, Sho, Ren, Ritsu, Zenji, and Lyca.

They also have to be willing, obviously, so no Leo, and possibly no Ren or Ritsu.

Luca, Kaito, Sho, Zenji and Lyca? Just two glaring problems.

First of all, half of them (not including Zenji in the headcount, since none of the others can see him,) are first years. Sure, they're strong, being ghouls, but it's still probably not a great idea to send freshmen on such an important mission. Though I suppose that's not exactly a disqualifier.

More importantly, NONE OF THEM ARE NEAR RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH. Luca is too eager to to jump in head first, Kaito is too cowardly, Sho isn't exactly that planner type (that I can tell,) none of them can fucking see Zenji in the first place, and Lyca is. He's Lyca. He's well-meaning and useful in a pinch, and would be helpful to find MC, but he's. He's Lyca.

So who might possibly be an exception to the former rules? Like who could break them with the least consequences?

... Quite a few people, really. Haku is responsible, he might be helpful. Jin never really leaves his room anyway, I doubt most Frostheim students would notice. Alan was gone for what, 2 days? For chapter 11? It's not like Vagastrom was in disrepair afterwards. Ed can probably survive without Rui for a few days, so as long as Rui is extremely careful about avoiding contact he might be able to go, and who knows maybe Sho might drag Leo with him.

Really it just depends. Jin retrieved her and Luca from the Pit, so it's not a massive leap. Haku is Haku. Alan's kinda a grey area idk. Rui would probably want to help. Leo might go just to stream it. he can't stream Darkwick, might as well make up for it with another magical college.

Idk man, I'm trying.

Definitely one of the funniest feature discord has added.

As someone eternally stuck in a tiny, dead, or dying fandom, I'd like to say this.

I love you people who post once a week.

I love you people who post once a month.

I love you analysis writers who pour content then stop up for so long I forgot why I followed you until you pop more out again.

I love you fanartists who hate their art.

I love you fanartists who love their art.

I love you fanartists who are neutral or apathetic to that art.

I love you people who have only posted once in this tag and never again.

I love you people who have never posted and only reblog.

I love you people who leave comments and help build the fandom's morale.

I love you snippet and drabble writers.

I love you self-shippers.

I love you people who only consume and share content about their niche fav that most of the fandom forgot existed or discarded as not worth their time and attention.

I love you shippers of the main pairs and shippers of the rare pairs.

I love you person who posted on the fandom tag after two years of silence.

If one more person fucks with my goddamn a's I will commit several crimes istg

how comes it says i know who you are, when, in fact, you may not know who i am if i simply toggle anonymity on?

i know who you are trust me…..

@yehoria i see right through you

Y'think MC is gonna beat Kyklos Medusa-style? I mean I know it takes a year for the curse to kick in, I just think it'd be really funny.

Or an AU where MC is like the only person Kyklos was able to curse, so the curse is just desperately trying to keep this girl from failing miserably and dying a horrible death before the curse goes through, giving MC some sort of temporary half-wit immortality. Imagine she bumps into Rui in the hallway and accidentally touches him, and suddenly her skin starts growing vines and quick-decaying flowers to fend off Rui's curse from killing her until it stops.

Imagine putting Jiro in Rui in a crowded room together. Playing a game of "what happens first: Rui commits manslaughter or Jiro dies of immunodeficiency" throw Taiga in too actually. "What's gonna be the first COD; Curses, Bullets, or Germs?"

Make it a gameshow with MC as a countdown clock. Everyday they go into the same crowded room for a few hours, Rui hides in a corner, Jiro just stands somewhere and everyone passively avoids him, and Taiga tries to keep himself from shooting someone somewhere vital

Everyday another thousand is added to the prize pool and whoever lasts the longest without causing a casualty wins. If MC dies alone they have to split the money, so Taiga goes around shoving people in the other two's general direction until he learns that if it works he'll be disqualified.

It's the most boring gameshow ever, except sometimes people tune in to check if anyone's died yet, (or even approached any of the contestants) so after like a month the hosts decide to throw in a cat, a mouse, and a bird as a wild card and now everyone's freaking out.

The crowd of people is still also in the room. Jiro is trying to avoid the mouse as to not catch a harmless disease that might kill him, Rui is trying to fend off an affectionate cat so it doesn't die, and Taiga has to miss about five times before he realizes that the bird is not a like dove.

Every week there's a new twist to make sure people actually tune in. Maybe Leo will show up to harass someone. Maybe Yuri somehow wandered in and is lecturing people about poor health habits. Maybe Jin is sending nuclear threats and they have to change the location. Maybe Lyca just learned how to call Rui.

Occasionally the camera changes to show MC educating the viewers on Flowers, pouring tea, conducting an interview, or giving an update on her curse. Sometimes she takes calls like a radio show. Sometimes it's people asking how the hell she got in contact with people like Jin Kamurai, Romeo Lucci, and whoever else.

Mind you, this very well might take place as they still go to Darkwick. I just think that would be funny. Hell, even take the gameshow part out of it, I just really like the idea of giving a main character a radio show. Twisted Wonderland, Obey Me, Tokyo Debunker, let the pseudo-isekai pseudo-otome protagonist run a radio show.

This was meant to be a collection of different one-off ideas, then I got to the third and ran with it. Idk man sometimes my thoughts come and go like plankton sometimes they're more like leeches I don't get to choose which

Tokyo debunker City of Omens Spoilers

HODGE AND PODGE SPRITES!!!

The dataminers were right! It's Elias! Also, I swear "dear heart" is like a poem thing? I might be totally wrong and it might just be another "hehe this is so not an Otome game hehehe" things but I swear it's from a poem. (Also love how Romeo actually DID give more time lolol)

Bro he calls her "kitten" so much I'm surprised no-one else comments on it 💀 like I get "she looks like a scared little kitten" but he hasn't explained that to anyone else, and idk if it's the same in Japanese but in English "kitten" is absolutely a relationship petname???

Lmaooo MC getting harassed about her harem

There is absolutely no good answer to this. Like I assume no matter what you choose, it's gonna choose for u cuz I don't believe games like this usually give you actual agency with choices, but like.

Picking Taiga would (probably) put MC in (at least perceived) danger, and Romeo and Ritsu do not get along.

Picking Romeo would leave Ritsu (responsible but sorta dumb) with Taiga (fucking wildcard, doesn't remember Ritsu most of the time, willing to kill)

Picking Ritsu would probably be the best option, cuz business partners so it's like logically founded, have the Cap and VC room and the business partners room, buuuuut it would also leave Romeo and Taiga in a room alone and they don't get along very well.

I. I don't really know what to pick. For some reason my brain can only register "pick between these three characters for an awkward situation" as "you are being hunted for sport by a field full of disease-ridden rats" pls help

Yuu who vehemently refuses to ever return to their world, and moreover, refuses to tell anyone why.

They were so excited to go back, albeit also a bit sad, for so long! Everyone thought this would be a good thing, something to be celebrated!

But as it would turn out, Yuu disagreed. They were GOING to go through the mirror, they were, but all it took was them testing it out by putting their hand through, and after a second or two of pause, they booked it away from the portal and to the corner of the room. "You won't take me alive!" They shouted, "not happening, absolutely not, I'm staying here!"

Everyone was extremely confused, as Yuu threw a chair at the portal. (Through the portal, but the goal was at the portal.) Only when Crowley walked over to ask what the hell Yuu was doing, did so much as one person learn what was wrong.

As soon as they whispered a very nervous answer, clutching their wrist like their hand would lose all circulation otherwise, Crowley shut the portal like it had personally offended him. He started going on about how infinitely gracious he was, and how out of that graciousness, he would allow Yuu to continue staying at NRC!

Everyone expected Yuu to argue, but Yuu just nodded. The only other person to ever learn of what happened was Grim, when Yuu woke up from a nightmare maybe a week or two later.

He was the only other person to learn that upon testing the portal with their hand, Yuu realized that they were considered dead and gone in their old world. That they couldn't move their hand when it was through, and that had they gone through completely, they would have gone into cardiac arrest as their world remembered that they weren't meant to be alive.

If Yuu had passed through that portal, there would be no coming back. Not to Twisted Wonderland, and not to life in general.

WOW. I knew shit was gonna go down (not in a fight way) when Haku popped up

But I didn't expect it to go straight to flirting so quickly... Guess that's what happens when you put the 2 flirtiest characters in the same room with MC?

Two of my favorite characters. My heart's gonna implode. That's all I have to say so far– that's as far as I got before I needed to say something

MF was about to invite LEO. Nuh uh. No way.

Why "Mickey"? Why is that his name for Rui? Also, burst out laughing at the bingo comment.

"emotional range of a sock puppet" idk man when I was like 6 I saw some pretty emotional sock puppet shows. Probably.
