That DEMONZ debacle was one of the most infuriating, FFFFFUUUU-inducing, headdesk-worthy, butthurt-generating features of Legend, next only to Tufan adventures. A golden mine, and completely unintentional one, at that.

Vaguely worded trick questions have a way of doing that. :lol:

I expected some butthurt, I didn't expect that much.

Any indications that tomorrow will never come?


Seven stories.
Not saying it as a day in the sense of time. Just the time loop thingie.

So tomorrow comming is most likely. Its that history seems to repeat itself.

We did splat though. And it might be a tall fence with barbed wire and all that +M

Up until yesterday, the nurse looking after me was always full of encouragement.

"I wouldn't mind just living in the hospital like this."

"Don't be silly, just go and get the discharge procedures started so that my job will be easier."

Under such light-hearted circumstances, the day I would leave the hospital crept closer and closer. Then, I was transferred to a new room.

"It will only be temporary."

The room that I was assigned to was just a bit unusual. There was a bed, and there was the buzzer to call the nurse... so far, this was just the same as any of the other wards. But, there were no windows. I looked left and right around the room before lying down on the freshly made bed that I would not be using for much longer.

"How are you feeling today?"

The new nurse smiled at me gently, but she seemed to be somewhat uneasy.

"I'm fine. It's just that... this room is weird. Why are there no windows?"

The nurse's face grew pale.

"Ah? Can't you see the windows?"

Her expression became filled with reservation. She called in a doctor who was passing by, and the two of them conferred quietly, just outside the room.

The nurse returned to my bedside.

"So... my room..."

"Ah, it's fine. There's nothing to be concerned about."

Saying that brusquely, the nurse left, closing the door behind her.

This room had no windows.

After a few minutes, after a few hours, the nurse never came in.

Neither did any doctors.

Even my girlfriend, who would faithfully visit me everyday, never came.

Ah, I just noticed.

The four sides of the room was nothing but walls.

There was no door.

How did I get in?

How will I get out?

Some people say that in every hospital, there is a room that you never leave once you are admitted.

But were they talking about a room like this?

And how do we know we didnt do stupid shit like that in this CYOA?

Thing is that consequences here hit us with a nice dose of delay with some choices.

"Remember to marry me when we grow up!"

The cheerful girl, my childhood friend, said that to me on the day she moved away twenty years ago, and I replied, "Yes."

From that day onwards, every year I would receive postcards from her.

New Year's cards, summer cards, holiday greetings.

No matter where I moved to, studied, or worked, I would get them regularly, like clockwork.

While busy preparing for my upcoming marriage, I thought of her.

That's right. Perhaps I should invite her.

"Mom, do you remember that girl I used to play with when I was younger? Where does she live now?"

"That girl is no longer with us..."

How could that be? I just received a summer card from her a few days ago!

"... I was afraid that you would be sad, so I never told you all this time."

As she talked, my mother retrieved a piece of yellowing paper: a newspaper clipping.

'Traffic accident: Family of three perishes'. It was dated to twenty years ago.

On the day before the wedding, I received another postcard.

"I look forward to our married life together."

You usually notice it by the lack of an immediate DEAD END string. That's how you know what you did wasn't that stupid.
Well Id say that leting the other guy to get in control and kill those kids was almost that stupid +M

if staying with Yukina ends up with us tied up in her secret room to be her husband, and going to the door ends up with us being killed by a ghost...does that not make this the dead end already?

LAMBCHOP, BRO. WHAT. IN. THE. FLYING. FUCK!?

I am about to hurt a small animal right now. A puppy. Or maybe a lemming. Why do you hate lemmings so much, bro? What will you warn us with if we run out!?

I was silent when you killed Jing's unborn child by going to sleep. I did not say a word when you deprived me of my favorite loli by leaving her alone with that filthy Taketatsu pedo. I even never talked twice about Seiji diplomacy. But this... this straw can finally break a camel's back.

If you don't get your ass up, run out of this hut into the thunderstorm and rain; cut a bloody swathe through vengeful ghosts behind the door, Zhang-style; climb over the seven-storey fence with barbed wire; penetrate the Mansion's cellars, kick the butler's ass and make sweet, sweet love to Nami over the Mansion master's still warm yet lifeless body, I... I will... I will no longer call you a bro! :outrage:

Don't do this to me, bro. Come back to your Rance ways! I believe in you!

Why do I want to go out in the rain when a girl is right here?

Since when do you do virtual girls?

Next will come non-alcoholic beers, and then you are Taketatsu 2.0 before you know it!

Step away from that abyss, bro, while it is not too late. Easy pussy is not half as satisfying, and you can't take it back to the world of the living with you.

And when you do get back to the world of the living, you can design all the virtual pussy you like if that is your inclination. It's cheap, bro. Don't sell your soul for it!

Let me see, we didn't search for Mitsuki and took a nap, now we let Nami go and had dinner, a voice called us from out the room, a voice is calling from out the house, we ran out of the room knowing it was a trap, now we stay in the house because voters were triggered.

This is going to be like that time when everyone lololed their way to victory pathetic death. Talk to me, people!

Bros, continuing to read is like playing sphere diplomacy. This is a SERIOUSLY bad idea. It's so bad that treave just offered us another way out.
Why are we able to recognize a bad decision when we are given a second chance to put the book away, yet we are unable to conceive that sending Maeda alone to a deathtrap was not such a good idea? We were offered another chance at remedying this by sending Ei with her, and now that she told us this isn't a false positive, are we squandering it?

Almost everyone voted to have Ei escort her, and we know she is unable to help by herself. What did we do that for, if not to warn us? And why did we want to be warned?

This is an open call to all BROs out there. We are about to do the second biggest UNBRO thing after abandoning our loli to a gruesome death. I know that some people are doing it on purpose because they find it hilarious when we mess up, but I think the more level-headed ones are still in the majority. Can we talk it out? This is important enough to me that I am not going to back down until I am convinced there is nothing to talk about.

Grimgravy, Lambchop19, Baltika9, what are your reasonings? Tigranes, Azira, oscar, Rex Feral, what are your opinions?
