**crab noises**

And they aren't even that bad too. Like sure they have room for improvement and would've been better if they were finished, but truly not bad at all

Because its been so long it feels like reading someone else's writing. It's nice to have a snapshot of my life at that point in time

Next steam sale final fantasy ix you will be mineee

I looked up word count it doesnt seem too bad around 1.1 million thats almost like erha (i say as someone who got through only about 2/3 of erha lol someday ill finish it)

Im gonna say i do not like the sound of crying or kids throwing a tantrum [i think cause i feel traumatized by my cousin's children] so the U-u-u crying of Maria was driving me insane i had to mute and speed through. The voice doesnt bother that much when her mood is good

Finally got to the first dead bodies though...i qas wondering when we would get the sacrifices. Rudolph is a bit suspicious...how would he know he was going to die today, he didnt elaborate i think...unless i forgot

The circle disintegrating effects in the tea party and ???? are nice

We got an arrange of kiniro no choushou in the bgm whoo

When Beatrice was talking about the person who said that the single element was love, was she talking about JESUS lol

Does Kinzo do the whole lament cry and yearn every single day?? It's part of his daily routine?? gosh i can't take that seriously anymore with how many times we've seen him cry

One of those bgm that has the weird breathing? or unusual creature sounds is very uncomfortable to hear

Is there a separation between the Battler that is in the mansion and the one is off to the side speaking to Beatrice or are they the same person experiencing both at once? Is the one playing the game with Beatrice third person perspective seeing things happen and from the same pov as Battler or is he is just appearing to disassociate on the spot as he talks to Beatrice?

Also I didn't notice if Rosa opened the letter she received from Beatrice that she was supposed to open at dinner. I don't know if my eyes missed the text come up or not but if it didn't get read that's suspicious. And also in the scene where Beatrice was showing proof to the adults that devils exist i could've sworn that Rosa was in that group as well, but maybe i remembered wrong, I'm not restarting or going back to check right now.

I just realized it makes sense if the servants dont like spiders if they are butterflies cause they'll get caught in the web and be eat by spider ohhhh

My heart rate was at an all time telling Shannon and George to hurry the fuck up and get the mirror out faster they are here oh my god are you going to make it time

Damn Beatrice who hurt you oof. Also she really is here asking would he still love you if you were a maggot lol

Beatrice really loves talking about food huh

It looks the rumors are true that there was some human experimentation going on at the orphanage. They'll probably expand on that more later

Battler really is his his grandfather's grandson. The way he wails for Beatrice to show herself is the exact same

I still have to do read the tea party amd i assume there will be another ??????

Was not expecting the getting eaten alive ending but nice stuff

Them mentioning how similar Battler is Kinzo in some ways....hmmm....

Okay the tea party for episode 2 was not expecting the cannibalism but i am here for it. I must say Beatrice is a very good host when it comes to preparing many tasty sounding dishes for her guest

Rather taking a liking to Bernkastel

I think Maria would really like Lamdadelta's dress with the little jack o'lantern on it...very Halloween I hope they get to meet

The characters in the Episode 2 final tips section just kinda spoiled what Shannon, Kanon and Genji were and how they came to be...there were implications but would rather have had exact confirmations appear in the story before I read that....

Was the starting event in episode 3 with the other Beatrice all the way back when Beatrice was born 1000 years ago or more recent when she was in the hidden mansion on Rokkenjima, cause the surroundings look the same it appears and that environment didn't look like what I would expect for the 900s

Battler in the game's perspective looks like it isn't restricted to just his self on the island considering he can also view the parent's discussing elsewhere

He was also being so rude when it came to Beatrice discussing her past. Like man be a little more sensitive

Oh yeah I got spooked hearing Sugita's voice for Ronove. Like the manner of speaking was more curt different from usual but still very familiar I had to double check

Had a lot of time split and didn't update info and my thoughts

but now it seems there is more separation between the Battler that is playing the game with Beatrice and the one that's on Rokkenjima

When Rosa was talking about how she met Beatrice and they were leaving I remember getting really tense like oh no oh no she's going to fall off the cliff any moment now and she did. dang that must have been traumatizing as a child to see that. I wonder how she got back

I do like how with a different combo of people remaining or not killed in the first twilight, you can get more insight into their feelings

I didn't realize that the gold would be found so soon. I dont really know where it might be located, but if it was able to be found on the island and isnt in the forest, then maybe somewhere related to the chapel? but i guess will find out later

Beatrice's personality is a lot more endearing with how more excited she gets and wants to share it. She really considers Battler as a friend or a companion and that's quite cute

Eva-Beatrice is so middle school girl lmaoooo. The vicious language and the selfishness is so middle schooler l'm cryingg

I'm thinking something is getting messed with for the resurrection ceremony cause i dont know if the killing must be done a certain way. For the twilights that Eva-Beatrice did they will gouged after killing, is that the right approach? Also Beato just revived Shannon, does that mess with the first twilight step?

probably had some other thoughts but i forgot them

also i realize that i didn't tell my friends except maybe one of them that i'm reading this cause i know if i say something and they read through it faster than i am or look up wiki stuff and end up telling me about it umprompted, i'm going to be exposed to spoilers and i would like to be as spoiler free as i can [aside from what i've already been exposed to with the songs that i listened to several years ago]

Damn I zoomed through ep 4 don't know how I did that considering it's one of the longer ones

I don't remember all of my thoughts

Stream of misc thoughts

This kinda turns into my realtime thoughts while playing while the previous posts usually are backtracked thoughts after a session or few

Continuing episode 6

Damn Kyrie is ruthless, but still very respectable for how much she held back

Willing to kill for love, like the murders of the games...or not...

The Grey eyes effect on Jessica looks cool

I hope that Jessica does not succeed...but I don't think that will be the case

Do the people in the trials get enhancements?

Flustered is a different look on Kyrie. I knew it was a bit of a farce

Thought Kanon had it too easy with Rosa, wonder why Maria was here and not in the guest house

Awww Shannon to the rescue

Supposing everyone does succeed in the trial, there would still be one more foe the first twilight?

What would be the deciding factor for the winner for the trials

Huh...how come all the characters chosen to be killed for the trial are all female characters

Come on Beato

Oh this is how we'll get the sixth murder, with Battler

Lol did he kill Erika? Or himself

Okay it's not Erika unless she gets killed later

Hm why did he choose to kill himself

Ah okay so he has also wanted to die

Good to see him acting nicer to her now

Now I'm more convinced that Battler's sin he forgot is promising to come back, cause getting embarrassed about how he acted in the past is very similar to that scene, but yeah we shall see

Oof Bern ruthlessly ripping into Erika but I am here for it

I was thinking the next trials would be the next twilight. Each pair would have to kill one person again and the first two pairs to kill would pass. Something like that.

Okay nevermind, but would this make the second twilight, isn't Battler already dead in the first twilight?

Battler is getting manipulated too much by Erika, with the duct tape and also with using red for the two rooms. Geez not answering can also reveal something I'm worried

If everyone is used and the seals are used, it could severely impact the tricks set up and the plausibility of this game. See. Now they have some truth if someone opens the door or leaves and other aspects of this room with Dlanor's red longsword

Ahh you're making me nervous how are you going to make this work later

Is the one place the closet? Like in the previous game where Natsuhi was

Is he dead in the bathroom? gosh I hope he's not naked. Or this water is a distraction? Steam to cover vision and movement, water sound to cover sound of someone leaving

Maybe there is a body switch and someone else came in to hide and reset the chain lock. That's one idea I can think of. And they hid inside the game. They are so focused on Battler, what about the other victims of the first twilight they could also be alive

Whenever there's applause I like to clap along too haha

Whoo its just like I thought. My brain is working

Okay nevermind

So you're saying Erika can be a killer and when she checked the rooms she made sure to kill them herself

yep

It feels like there are too many things relayed retroactively in this game

Oh man he just wanted a game where everyone was alive and happy still, I feel bad for Battler.

Oh god dont tell me she killed everyone in the guest house too and sealed the room

You could have everyone leave the room at the same time

LOLOLOLOLOL what is this voice i'm crying hahaha "oh yeeeeeeeeaah!! Very gooooooood!! One more!!" "Oh very GOOD!!"

Or someone leaves through the window. Oh so that was restricted as well I forgot

Huh this is like the dream that Ange was having where they cant leave the room

You're not telling me Lambdadelta is Ange...that dream is someone else. Rather its just a sympathy ploy right hm?

Oh this is the vegetable Battler that was in the beginning of the episode in the wedding

The joke is it actually got released in a CD right. Or probably it was released later or soon after?

Yeah I dont have an idea for the closed room right now

Maybe I'm remembering wrong from what was mentioned before by Lambdadelta, but was Bern's old master Lambdadelta?

Oh my god we gotta stop the wedding

Love is an open door hah

There's certainly some metaphor of the closed room called marriage. Closed room can be opened with love hmmmm

Is this supposed to be wordplay...need to create a spare key, closure, idk

yesssss birth of a new witch banger ost

Oh my god we gotta stop the wedding

Beato has to come save him and she's in the next room?

This ring scene is very uncomfortable as if Erika is raping Battler

What exactly is furniture, how are they created

So Beatrice was made in Battler's taste...

Okay assuming Shannon might be Beatrice, Beato is a fragment of Shannon cause her love can be fulfilled here in this episode. And she moved on because she started to love George and split. That's why she is an incomplete soul. But why is Kanon's soul also incomplete. Shannon was also the one who could see Beato in the previous episodes though Kanon could as well

Oh shit Kanon laugh is this the first time or I just cant remember

Come on Beato you can do it

How did she revive? she merged? she understood how to be the witch? Its the older sister? She understood why she was born?

You just gotta whisk Battler away

She understood the previous Beatrice? or she is acting a role?

Oh so it was Battler this whole time, not Ange's dream

There is not always one truth (anti-Conan thoughts)

*clap clap

So they did merge

rip Erika

Oh the Birth of a New Witch with singing is used as the ending of episode 6 cool, wasnt sure if it was a separate track

congrats on your marriage

*clap clap

Now i'm just waiting for something bad to happen again. What's going to be in the next few games. Ange is still there waiting so probably creating that Fragment?

There are still unanswered parts for previous episodes

what if its Sakutarou lolol the cat in the ????? just kidding

Considering the window that appears does this have to do when Bernkastel was trapped? She has a cat's tail right

Next one is Bernkastel's game, but would this be a different Fragment of the previous ones. Separate from one where Battler is the territory lord then.

Beatrice's put to rest is having everything exposed and her role is completed is that how it works?

Anyways whoo done with episode 6! Gonna start episode 7 laterish or tomorrow we'll see

Starting episode 7 - planning on doing real time thoughts again

Ehh whatever this has been sitting in progress for weeks minimal update in last two and I won't have time until 2 or 3 more weeks so I will just drop this mid ep 7 and continue later

White dressed Beato you're missing companionship that's why you invited Shannon

oh yeah 100% Battler's sin is making such a grand promise that he did not follow up on. A year changed so much for him that its no longer a priority in his mind

If he came one year earlier or one year later she would not have committed the crime...I cant guess when exactly the epitaph was solved between 2 and one year before the 1986 if I had to guess. One year before the current serial murders I assume that is when Shannon and George's love became mutual or she just fell in love with him at the point or it was before she even solved the riddle of the epitaph at which she would not have had the means to commit the crime. One year later...Shannon probably wouldve left Rokkenjima to be with George if I recall correctly

Natsuhi is so righteous spitting facts

wait i was thinking about seasons...and in episode 5 Natsuhi had her favorite season revealed to be Autumn and she did mention she only told Shannon that and was suspecting her, but that would make sense and it would make sense if Shannon was also the 19 years ago baby and then probably figured out what happened and the circumstances of her past somehow in between discovering the gold and the serial murders. And the young male voice...either a voice changer or given Lion is gender ambiguous maybe it is Shannon as well? or a hired person

Man Beato and Gaap are just misleading Shannon in their cheering up

How old is she at this point? 12? geez making big decisions as a 12 year old

Except how long can you expect to wait

Geez that is a delusion reasoning for why he left but nice they are trying to cheer her up

What do you meant its not cool, dude is like 13 at this point

Oh so one year earlier maybe she solved the epitaph and then had the resolve to quit but he didn't come for that determination

Damn everyone is just driving a knife into Shannon's feelings but how could they know

and she's just blaming herself...that's so sad

ouuugg there is nothing for Shannon...

oh man

i got it slightly wrong or got it partially right i guess

yeah dont believe someone likes you romantically or assume their feelings unless they say something it just hurts you

this description of the roots of love settling in her heart and hurting her and you could pull it out is sounding a lot like hanahaki

Yeah this is the fundamentals of hanahaki

Oh is this Kanon?

So Genji's fears were reassured so he led Shannon to solve the riddle then cause Kinzo expressed his regret and desire to apologies

Oh Kinzo is from Taiwan? wouldn't have guessed that. That would give one explanation that he knows Chinese aside from studying it. I remember in episode 5 Krauss and Natsuhi had a trip there. The areca nuts when I looked it up are just pan and looked to popular in many regions in Asia so would not have been able to guess a particular location with that mention

I still dont know the exact path to get to the gold. The only thing I can know is its a well behind the mansion. And still may guess the Lions in front of the chapel may be the two mentioned in the epitaph?

Dude I could not guess this at all for the key

oh and quadrillion sounds similar to kuwadorian hah

yeah i dont think i recall a place where quadrillion is on Rokkenjima

Oh shit it is actually the chapel let's go it was always a suspicious place

yeah i dont remember this at all, I remember Maria reading something but i had no recollection of what it was

Does it open something near the lions? there's a big square

Lord? U? lord ushiromiya? Like praise the lord lol?

oh shitttt

You know that makes sense this is supposed to guide but the actual door should be something easy to get to without needing to resolve the puzzle considering Kinzo could disappear easily on walks

Huh now that I think about it Kumasawa being Virgilia, Beatrice's teacher, makes sense given she taught Shannon all those things when she was younger

Did no one else in the mansion see her walking in that dress?

Ignorance would have been bliss

Did he die on the spot? huhhhhhh wild

Oh this ost is the end of the world, probably my favorite out of the osts I had listened to before

Are they also revealing answers to the murders in the previous games now? Or is this a summary

So the first game was just illusions, so does that mean a majority are fake deaths at that time or that the closed rooms are not real?

Shannon and Lion have different hair colors I wonder why if they are meant to be the same existence

That was a very calm ending to to the episode, havent had that in awhile

Now onto the episode 7 tea party

So are they showing the game again or a new game but to Lion?

So Shannon had already found the gold but was ready to give it up

oh so it might be about understanding what happened when Eva found the gold

what if he did remember...but he didn't bring it up because he knew about George and Shannon's relationship aaa......

okay nevermind he only remembered afterwards

Was it an alleviation for George's peace of mind

Cmon Eva not everyone wants to live

Wait the number....wasnt there a number written on one the doors in one of the earlier games?

Regardless there is no happy end is what I'm getting for this

oh man are they just going to end up killing each other and the kids will just be left behind?

Is Beatrice still just sleeping over there while this is happening that's hilarious she cant be bothered

If you blow it up you get rid of the gold too though

God this must be awful for Ange to watch

They probably dont care about the kids but maybe Rudolph would want to save Battler here

George looks nice in tears lol

oh god...that must really hurt Ange watching this that her mother doesn't care about her if Rudolph isnt there

Kyrie isn't wrong but its still a very unfeeling

I was thinking AuAurora was the game master are you saying Ange is the game master now? Oh its the truth

So she protected Ange from the truth that would hurt her. That her mother didn't care about it and that Eva led her parents

No matter what the tragedy will occur...is that how it is...which means someone is still going to kill them

But at that point in time in Lion's fragment is Kinzo still actually alive so he lasted longer cause of Lion being alive

Is this Shannon, not the second Beatrice right that is asking why they didn't let her die. A body not capable of love...I guess its probably about the ability to have kids that the only thing I can think of with regard to the body? And the fact that she asks Genji and Nanjo-sensei the ones who saved her...Here's the question was Shannon born that way or it's as a result of the accident? If its born then is Shannon intersex or born infertile or something or if its as a result of the accident she had organ damage?

Is this Will to the rescue?

whoooo

oh my goddd Bernkastel has catsss

I hope they survive...

There no happy ending........does that only apply to Bernkastel's game or no matter what...

Last game is for Ange...I still hope they can find a fragment where they can all return

Finished Episode 7 whooooo

Only one more chiru episode left

I dont remember what this key is. Is this the key as the owner of the world, key to the golden land?

Oh my god she is so small

Is this going to be a happy ending with Ange with them...

Awww it's really nice seeing them all interact like this

Pumpkin tea does sound good

Is Kinzo supposed to be alive at this point in time

This Genji and Kinzo interaction reminds me of Ronove and Beatrice when he kept asking her to maintain her dignity as well

So this is a tale to remember their family members and think for themselves how they are without the impression of other people telling them or to understand and remember all her family members fondly or as good people

I still liking clapping along with everyone lol

I dont know if we're just being gaslit with this episode or if its a pick what you want to believe

It's cute seeing Eva doting on Ange

It's Schrodinger's almond

Im getting nervous with this cake slice

Okay i still won

I'm getting nervous with the quizzes but I will do my best

So these pieces are all aware of what happened and this truly is for Ange. To remember a time when she was happy with everyone. Eva tried to do her best but it was just too hard with the unconditional unrewarded love that it warped her

99+ x = ambulance x = ambulance - 99

130 - x = car x = 130 - car ambulance - 99 = 130 - car

car = 0.5*99 49.5 ambulance + car = 229

hah some of my work to try figure it out, yeah nope

That ambulance puzzle did me in, i'm not adept enough at japanese wordplay for this

I appreciate the effort they went through with some of puzzles to be solvable in English as well

w white choco watermelon cookies cake

p pepper jack cheese picante potatoes

a anchony pizza albacore tuna

o lemonade orangelime sherbet

a choucreme cake amana almond choco sherbet lemon

s shiosenbei sherbet

k kare to kimchi

n coffee green tea

hah some more of the list to keep track. The voice lines against the text is getting me mixed up with Shannon's puzzle. I wonder what the original word was. I think its funny that they say black coffee in the examples but the puzzle is to figure that out. Oh wait maybe lemonade is the one to figure out in the original?

yeah the minimum has to be 11....

oh wait the puzzle said to carry each *person to the opposite bank, i guess it doesn't matter about the livestock or the food if it gets lost

Now I'm really doubting a happy ending with this...more like an ending of acceptance and moving forward rather at the best

Oh is finally telling what he didn't get a chance to tell

geez Rudolph you're an ass. That is all your fault

Kind related to how blood isn't the strongest tie but the bonds that you natured. But in some cases blood or belief in it can still block that bond from fully forming

Oof hopefully I can do these last 4, I only missed Nanjo-sensei's so far I think

eh one puzzle but two medals. Does what I pick change the outcome? okay no need to pick haha I wouldve also picked the red one

Please dont Monty hall me oh man now we gotta switch

Something about fragments with these probability discussion

Yay now for the last two

...or not

Ange falls asleep and then so will I

Oh man I kinda want to cry

Huh I got 16 medals...is that right

Oh shittttt Battler doll cuteeee awwwwwww Thats a good present

I wonder if in the future she will see that doll and remember

Uh oh this is like that one from episode 6 where can't escape the room

Is Bernkastel the cat leading Ange?

Looks like we have more murders again

What is this purple text? Key statements for the mystery?

If the culprit must not die...and the culprit can lie but others cannot lie, you'd mainly have to find a contradiction in the statements between a few people. I'd probably have to get back and read those again

Rereading Bernkastel's tale

But can there be multiple culprits for different parts? And Bernkastel's wording is rather suspicious

I think someone or some people in the first twilight were not dead which could mean at least one person was lying when checking their parents. Genji was checked by Nanjo and Kanon so they probably are not the culprits here

Culprit of the first twilight killed six people...so probably not their parents but also Krauss and Natsuhi so that would narrow it down to Battler and George as the one for the first twilight...i don't think both of them are the culprit

The surviving parents could also be a culprit if they murder as well...

I do think Nanjo was killed outside the guest house so yeah he was not a culprit

When they went to see Natsuhi and Krauss the parents could have slipped out i don't know if they reopened the dining the room or just taped it

Hm is the definition of sealing the same as before and what level...cause Battler said the dining room was sealed and that's a bit suspicious cause I guess his parents could have left in that time to the outside

Shannon's death and the remainder could've been done by George's parents or Battler's parents, and they also did the rest of the murders so they could all cooperate with their kid who is also a culprit to lock doors and such in the guest house

George and Battler's statements feel like they contradict each other for Nanjo's death

Maria I will assume is not a culprit so guaranteed innocent. George can't kill an adult according to Maria so he could kill Shannon or Kanon or Jessica. If that's the case then if he was the culprit then someone else should've killed the folks in the first twilight but that would not match up

I'm leaning on Battler and maybe Rudolph and Kyrie as the culprits

Okay so I can select multiple people for the culprit select..do I click on them to select or do I need to black everything out?

I'll look at the hints now

I kinda want a full text version so I can see everything without clicking on the buttons

Going through the hints haha I feel like I jumped ahead with my reasoning rather than doing these more logical steps

Regarding the closed room, only Krauss and Natsuhi's doesn't quite make sense to me. Cause the other one's can be explained by the parents locking the door to the dining hall. The child can lock the guest house door.

Oh wait

Maybe they did the switcheroo technique in that previous game in episode 6 i think. So the child kills 4 in the dining hall, then during the break time the child and one parent goes to Natsuhi's room and the child kills both of them so now they have six victims, then the parent locks the door from the inside and hides, and when everyone comes to their room, the child diverts attention and lets the parent slip out during that time. The parent will escape before the room is sealed up and then they can leave the mansion

I feel like I started with the last hint on the first page lmao

I didn't think about the first twilight culprit being locked up in Natsuhi's room, but I think my theory also does not contradict anything maybe...though might be a bit difficult. Battler could kill an adult that was not denied...huh maybe their translation wording is weird for that part?

Wait are they actually gonna give the answer through these hints

Ange is trapped as a spectator in the game

oh man and she has to see her family orchestrating this what torture

dang Battler really playing it up lmao

haha Maria

Oh shit Erika????? she's the cat???? or the cat got her

EVA-BEATRICE too??

Oh yeah it was a logic puzzle right

I remember one time I was getting a crisis about getting dumber and my brain being less flexible that I started doing a whole bunch of them

Yeah Battler you forgot about finding Ange afterwards

So essentially those two keys are for Ange to pick if the witch did it or that humans did it is true

Except why would Featherine have Eva's diary

so the key is for the diary

Well goats do eat plants

Oh...i guess not just plants....

Oh diary in the beginning was in the coffin so it must be in the church right?
