LLAS Ch44

Season 4 START:
Rina held a tourney between her, some fans, and protag. Ayumu stayed up watching us play. So we're eating lunch together the next day talking about that. MFW protag brings up some fans who say Rina can code, she plays games, I bet she could make a fun game. And I contemplate unlocking a Persona once again today. Anyways in class they give every student (of the entire school) a career path survey. And I say iunno me high school, me dumb. Player gets minor angst about career before lampshading oh no we can't do this plot, but again again again. Ai walks up to us and says she wants to be a cook, explorer, and animal conservation person. Player says, they want to help others achieve their dreams, but wonders what kind of job title that would have. "Happiness Contractor" replies Ai. Sounds like a eugenics program honestly. Some kind of Happy maker! even.

In the clubroom, everyone talks about their paths. Blah blah Lanzhu Mrs. Worldwide. All that matters is Ayumu. Ayumu says she wants to be needed by someone... followed up by she wants to cook everyday for Yuu. And that she wishes she could make every one of your days more fulfilling. Before we start practice, Rina asks if people would be down to help her in a Game Jam/Hackathon. Mia immediately says let me in, let me in! Setsuna nerds out. Then everyone else speaks up, but it's a 4 person team. Thus Mia and Setsuna make the cut, and Rina asks protag to be the last member.

Ayumu takes us on a shopping date to help take player's mind off things. Still deciding whether to join Rina's team since she doesn't know if she'll be able to help. Ayumu points out Rina specifically asked for them, thus she believes in their ability to help.

Dawn of The Second Day
  -48 Hours Remain-
Rina explains how this will all work. First thing's first, we need a room to do this, so we decide to ask Shio to borrow a classroom later. Then we move onto game research AKA playing different types of games. First game is some kinda party game where we get owned epically over and over until Rina tells us Mia is stinky, so we manage to beat her. Then other genres, etc. Finally we decide our roles, Setsuna does worldbuilding and overall design. Mia does music. Protag does coordination and management. Rina is the leader and coder.

Uuuuuuuugh Karin focused part? Karin stuck between deciding to go full yolo or writing something realistic. Kasumi and Shioriko reassure her. The end.

Team Gamers talk to Muse 2nd years for their thoughts on games. Honoka doesn't know jack except the current fotm is some mobile game. Umi is stinky at it and starts jonesing before Honoka outs her. Umi got addicted trying to improve and tries to hide behind Kotori before she also tosses Umi to the trash heap. Then onto Aqours 2- I mean just Chika I guess. She likes playing a puzzle match 4 game, but it's all mikans. Is this a like a standard match 3? Lumines like? Puyo puyo type beat? Protag develops PTSD from Mikan. Later, Setsuna brings in some of her art samples of various media to ask for advice what kinda thing they should do. Setsuna specifically looks for passion in works.

Emma is serving drinks while Mia takes a quick break. Mia scolds Lanzhu and Karin for over relying on Emma. Later when Emma and Lanzhu are running, Emma confesses she's having issues deciding what to put for a career. Also wtf Emma, you really came to Japan because you saw school idols and were like yeah, I like that I'll move there. Was there like no option to stay home and try making a club there wtf? She says she wants to show off things like that to the world, but wonders what kind of job that would be. "A travel itinerary planner of some sort? A journalist delivering news to the world?" Lanzhu says just become a vlogger (first good Lanzhu take, +1/-99999999).

Haruka (Kanata's sister) also has a career survey thing at her school. Kanata says lol you're in middle school, chill, write whatever and think about it later (based). Flash forward, Kanata's talking about stuff w/ Shizuku & Ai. Kanata says she's thinking about entering a pastry making contest w/ a friend, but apparently friend has stopped baking for unknown reason. They say yeah iunno maybe this will revitalize her. Worst thing she can do is totally flip out and commit sudoku right? Yo, wtf new named character? This is illegal. How they gonna do Basketball Club President like this. Tsumugi.

Club performs a live. It goes. Player notices girl watching from far away. MC asks hey what's up, stop being a loner. Tsumugi says she doesn't do this cheering thing, and dips out. "Cheering is pointless. I don't cheer for school idols."

Player borrows a ton of mags from Yohane. Like gu- that is gaming magazines. There's so many, she can't see and she bumps into someone. It's Tsumugi. She ends up apologizing saying she was pretty rude last time. Therapy session go. Tsumugi says she doesn't feel like can genuine cheer anyone on, doc. That it's egotistical to do so, and the ego keeps growing as you cheer. Eventually it's just imposing your ego onto other people and no genuine feelings towards people. Dog what. Nerd Emoji. Anyways once again MC's confidence gets shaken by something. Mia shakes us out of our flash back. Everyone's behind our backs for the game jam that starts tomorrow, so we'll definitely for sure win. Then we switch over to Kanata where Tsumugi says enter by yourself, I don't wanna. Kanata sad.

Mia: "You won't be able to keep that energy up for the next 48 hours, Setsuna."
Setsuna: "Don't worry! I have total confidence in my stamina!"
F. o7. RIP. End of an era. Pour one out for a real one.
DASH!!
