Here's a short Hundred Line fic in which Takumi asks Yugamu to stab him with the Infuser, because I feel Yugamu should be allowed to stab everyone with their Infusers when it's time to fight. I think he'd have a great time.

Back to The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy! I played as far as the game would let me on the Mystery route, and now... well, I'm not sure what route I'm on now, but I can tell you that it contains the line 'I'll just have to make some counterfeit panties!'


ExpandNotes on The Hundred Line. )


I'd seen it said that this game's script was long enough to fill sixty novels, which seemed implausible, so I investigated.

Riona: Yeah, I think that's an exaggeration, or at least they'd have to be short novels. Six million Japanese characters is apparently... maybe two point five or three million English words? It's probably more like thirty novels, if we're looking at average novel length. Five or six times the length of The Lord of the Rings.
Tem: Oh, God, we'll be here forever. We're stuck in a time loop.
Riona: I always knew this would happen.
Tem, simultaneously: We were always going to end up here.

I can't believe The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy exists. The scale of it just does not feel like anything that would be created with commercial intent. It's a passion project; it's an Umineko, it's a Homestuck. Any sane studio would have stopped at the first route or two. But somehow here this game is, in all its sprawling, ridiculous glory.

As if the game weren't vast enough already, Kodaka has said he wants to add more routes, possibly consulting the fans on what they want to see.

I think we should all petition him to make my orgy fic canon. I think that would be right up his street.

More of The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy! Just finished day forty-seven of a route that involves a surprising quantity of bees.

I think, when we're getting ready for battle, we should allow Yugamu to stab everyone with their Infusers. I think he would really enjoy that. A nice little treat for him.

Out-of-context The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy:

Yugamu: Don't worry about that. I'm really good at ramming stuff in holes that look like they'd be too small to fit.

This game is so weird and horny. I'm having a blast.

I was in Manchester for a wedding over the weekend, which entailed a couple of long train journeys! To pass the time on the journey, I revived one of my favourite memes on my Tumblr:

Give me any two (or more) characters I’m familiar with, and I’ll tell you how they would cope in an ‘oh no, there’s only one bed’ scenario!

Here are the results! (You can also find my responses from the last time I did this over here.) As before, my responses exist on a spectrum from ‘general thoughts’ to ‘tiny ficlet’. The Danganronpa, Hundred Line and Omori scenarios contain spoilers.

The experience of playing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy feels a lot like playing a game, going 'well, I enjoyed that, but I feel there was more to be explored,' and then heading to AO3 and reading every fic that's been written for it. It's absolutely bizarre. I'm really enjoying it.
rionaleonhart: the mentalist: lisbon, with time counting down, makes an important call. (it's been an honour)
Look, we all knew I was going to write this fic. Of course I was going to write this fic. Here is the inevitable fic.

Because Takemaru is a stickler for the rules, there's some discussion of the age of consent in this fic. I have no idea what the age of consent in the Tokyo Residential Complex would be, but I've set it at sixteen based on the current age of consent in Japan. I don't think these characters have canonical ages, but, if I'm mistaken and anyone in the 'over sixteen' group is canonically under sixteen, please assume they've been aged up; Takemaru's going to be so upset otherwise.

Kurara: Don't you dare just sit in your rooms and jack off!
Takumi: Who would even do that?

What are you talking about, Takumi? You're all a bunch of teenage perverts. One member of the team canonically fucks her own sword on a regular basis.

There's some very striking dialogue in this game. I made this note during a scene that included the lines 'Stop trying to look all cool, you dickless virgin!' and 'I'll shove my hand so far up her ass her back teeth will clatter!'

I love the kids' different priorities when they're told they'll get plenty of money after the war.

Tsubasa: Then can I build a brand-new workshop for my grandpa and me?
Sirei: Of course!
Darumi: Can I shut a bunch of kids in an abandoned building and force them to play a killing game?
Sirei: Sure, why the heck not?

I maxed out my bond with Yugamu. It's a shame Takumi doesn't speak in the bonding scenes; they'd be more fun with his reactions! Also, it's always such a disappointment when I max out a bond with someone in a Danganronpa-esque game and do not receive that character's underpants.

(After lamenting the lack of underpants, I commented, 'Although he wants to murder us, I suppose, which is equally intimate.'

'He could kill us and take our underpants,' Tem said, consolingly.)

[personal profile] sholio is hosting a commentfic promptfest! If you're in a fanfiction mood, you should run over to post some prompts or write some fills. It's only just started, but I'm watching it with interest.

In other news, I'm still playing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy! I'm up to day... eighty-six, I think? In the ranks of the stupid videogames I've played in the legacy of Danganronpa, it's not top-tier, but it's a solid contender; I'd put it around the level of Zanki Zero, below Master Detective Archives/AI: The Somnium Files and well above World's End Club.

I enjoy how much murderflirting Yugamu does. Constantly feeling his classmates out, trying to determine whether they'd be up for killing each other romantically. This guy really wants to find his kismesis.

Yugamu: You can't just throw your life away with the first murderer who takes an interest in you. Those one-night stabs may seem exciting, but there's so much more meaning in a committed relationship - one where you let your bloodlust grow over time. Trust me, your death has value. You need to treat it with respect.
Takemaru: Gotta hand it to ya: if ya take out all the serial killer crap, that almost sounds like good advice.

Yugamu and Darumi are definitely going to end up locked in a constant cycle of kinkily murdering each other and being revived.

Maybe that would cheer Darumi up, at least. Tem and I are very worried about Darumi. Her mental health is clearly an absolute wreck, but everyone just uncomfortably ignores all the alarming things she says because she's so creepy.

'Oh, man, they might have been despicable bastards, but they fought their way through so much hardship together!' Takemaru says, in tears, summing up my attitude to fictional characters.

I find myself wholly unsurprised that this game, which takes place over a hundred days, makes a point of celebrating day 69.

Riona: The Commander still has Ima.
Tem: It's an Imergency.

Congratulations to The Hundred Line for being the only game I've ever played that uses the word 'twincest' in dialogue.

I like how easy Yugamu is to get presents for. What's Murder Boy going to want? A scalpel, a ball gag and an iron maiden, obviously.
rionaleonhart: death note: light's kind of embarrassed that he poured all that fake sincerity into an obviously doomed ploy. (guess not)
I'm on day thirty-three of The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy!

The Hundred Line, a videogame from the people behind Danganronpa and Zero Escape, is a new addition to one of my favourite genres: a group of strangers are confined together in a high-stress situation and have a terrible time. In this case, a bunch of teenagers are abducted from their safe, enclosed city and forced to fight a war against monsters for reasons they don't entirely understand.

I played the demo, decided I wanted more of this nonsense and picked it up as soon as it released. I love a story that is both emotionally intense and absolutely stupid. It's not as strong as the Danganronpa series (I miss the murder mysteries!), but it scratches a similar ridiculous itch.

Takumi is very much in the Danganronpa protagonist mould of 'very ordinary, even a little bland; finds all his weird companions kind of overwhelming, but ultimately just wants to get along with everyone', and for some reason it really works for me every time. I don't love him in the way I love the Danganronpa protagonists, but there's time!

I'm not that attached to any of the characters yet, come to think of it, although some of them definitely have potential. Darumi's fun; she has a lot of great lines. Takemaru has a short temper and a good heart, which is a combination I have a huge weakness for. I'm eyeing the Incest Twins with some interest, given my passion for The Coffin of Andy and Leyley. Eito has an interesting relationship with Takumi. (The moment we saw Eito, Tem declared that he was going to be the protagonist's boyfriend, and I'm impressed by xyr prescience!)

Takumi named all the fish in the cafeteria fish tank, which is pretty endearing, although it seems weird to name a fish 'Fishy' when there are also other fish around. What makes this specific fish fishier than its companions?

Tem and I found ourselves exclaiming 'WHAT IS GOING ON? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?' at the screen while Takumi was trying to persuade Tsubasa to fight.

Tsubasa: I can't fight those terrible monsters because I throw up whenever I'm nervous.
Takumi: I've made you a fashionable sick bag! Surely this completely solves your problem. Surely being unable to control your body in battle doesn't cause you any concerns other than making the battlefield untidy.
Tsubasa: But everyone will make fun of me if I'm sick in front of them!
Takumi: I'LL PUKE TOO, THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO MAKE FUN OF ME AS WELL, I'LL DO IT RIGHT NOW IF YOU WANT

And then they stared directly into each other's eyes, in silence, for two full minutes.

And that's how you persuade someone to fight in a war, apparently.

Yugamu keeps saying things like 'I can't stand staining my hands with meaningless kills. I'd prefer to murder someone I love' and 'Murder's supposed to be a private, intimate experience.' This guy is all of my fanfiction.

I can't believe this game includes two different characters who are incredibly horny for murder. This is such a personal attack on me.

Tsubasa: Are they wearing Class Armour?
Riona: I'll be honest: if I saw a girl with a giant green tomato over her entire head, I would not notice that she was wearing Class Armour.
Tem: I would. I notice the clothes people are wearing, especially if I'm wearing the same thing. I'd go, 'Oh, this is embarrassing.'
Riona: 'We've turned up to the war in the same outfit.'
Tem: 'One of us is going to have to go home and change.'

Yugamu canonically goes speed dating, and that would be a sight to behold. 'Hey, want to end up locked in an intimate dance of trying to murder each other?'

(Light Yagami, on the other side of the table, internally: ...maybe?)
