>Unmet expectations edition.
>Current World Alignment: +1. Optimistic Shonen.
>Current Waifu Level: 0.29

>Competing Waifu: Konoko
>Konoko's Waifu Level: Annoying Childhood Friend

You are a girl. An attractive girl, with a silly hat, bizarre clothes, and sentience.

The sentience part is the only thing out of the ordinary in this world.

Though it grates on you, you can not exist separate of the protagonist's narrative- you must earn enough attention to be autonomous. Which involves working your way in to his life, much to you chagrin and irritation.

You've managed to get in to the protagonist's house. "Anon-kun Incognito." One of the worse names that you've heard, but his name. You blush and give a shy smile, as he digs in to the food that you and Konoko cooked for him. Konoko is similar to you- a character dependent on the protagonist's attention. She was his childhood friend. She's smiling, playing the part well, but any time you catch her eye, she gives you an icy look back. You have a truce. She's sentient too. She's displeased at your introduction of magic to the narrative. She wanted a slice of life with sports themes.

Well too bad for her. You play with the hem of your robe, being bashful. Trying to think of the backstory you'll have to introduce, and how.

"So, what's your story anyway?" He talks with his mouth full. Probably thinks it makes him funny, "Why were those guys after you anyway?"

His double 'anyway' bugs you something fierce.

"Jeez, Anon," Konoko speaks up, trying to steer the conversation, "Can't that wait some time? I'm sure she-"
"Mrko-chfranf!" Anon burbles through a mouth full of food. You'll lean back from the chewed up splatter that comes from his lips.

Konoko rolls her eyes, but is silent. Anon is looking at you with expectation.
>Your move.
>>
>It begins

Anybody have the fanart?
>>
So, a thought.

At enough waifu points, we can exist independently of the protagonist, right? Why do we need to go further than that? We can put in a good effort, bow out to the rival, and live a life that's some modicum of normalcy.
>>
>>27172257
We were going with amnesia, right?

So we have to keep it vague. Maybe make references to a dark place that we escaped from, and that the goons were trying to make us go back there.
>>
>>27172317
Because more waifu points mean more ability to influence the narrative. And I assume they decay after a while.

Basically, memetic parasite needs food badly

I'm worried we can lose waifu points from avoiding the MC too much. Story logic is also likely to yank us back in if we try to avoid participating.

Vague was what people decided on last thread. We don't remember much yet, just that we really did not want to be with the people who were chasing us.

Oh, and that we have some degree of magical powers.

If you'd rolled for that one that looks like an LSD stamp, would you have used that for the OP?

Last thread I suggested them having given us drugs that screw with recall to explain us slowly regaining our memories. It means we can 'reveal' new information later, and change the narrative that way, rather than being locked in.
>>
>>27172257
Let's going in the direction of vague Saber clone or something, that's what's popular these days.

"Sorry, I don't remember much, or just about nothing at all. I remember being trapped in a dream, being consumed in total flame. But it didn't hurt, because there was this sword protecting me."

"Next thing I know, I was escaping some sort of scientific facility. This is when my memory starts getting really spotty, but I know I was escaping from something. The last thing I remember before passing out was a cross, because it really seems out of place. When I fell down at last I heard a clang, and I saw the same sword in the dream beside me"

>>27172424
Magic experimentation. Maybe hint at trauma somewhere in there.

Protagonists are suckers for chicks with dark and mysterious pasts.
>>
>>27172430
Impossibru, he hasn't disappeared mid-thread due to some kind of fire or explosion.

If a QM gets through an entire thread without a horrible disaster causing an overnight delay, he isn't AC-Guy. Thats a scientific fact.

>>27172496

experimental magic drugs anyone?

>>27172496
Yeah, we probably have massive latent magical potential locked away, so we can grow in power with the protagonist.

"I...Oh..." You look around, "I'm sorry, it's just- I've never been outside of the lab before."
Anon-kun swallows his food, and then leans in, intrigued, "A lab? You were in a lab?"

"Yes, I," You bring a hand up to your head, close your eyes and shake your head, and whisper, "I'm, I'm so sorry, but- I can't remember much. Just- knives. Needles. I-I-I'm sorry," You shake your head, apologetic, "I only get flashes."

"Really?" Anon seems disappointed, "Crap. That's no good. So- how does your magic work?"

Konoko laughs, "Haha, what are you talking about? There's no such thing as magic! Really, shouldn't we be talking about the sports meet tomorrow?"

"She said she was magic!"

"Well," You do your best to ignore Konoko's muffled growls, "I-I do know some things."

Anon slams his hands down on the table, and leans in, suddenly very interested, "It's about ki, right? I got ki! I got loads of ki!" Anon stands up suddenly, very agitated, "Yeah, yeah, some kind of conspiracy..."

Well, you haven't told him anything, but now he's standing up, pacing around. Konoko laughs slightly, raising a bowl in front of her face to eat and whispering out of the side of her mouth, "This is your backstory, really?" Her voice hits a nasally falsetto, "Nehhh, I'm so vulnerable, oohhhh, don't imagine me strapped to a table naked onii-chan, nehhh," She lowers the bowl, as Anon stops mumbling about contrails and comes back to the table, pointing at you.

"Wait! You recognized those guys in the black suits, right? We should go grab them!"

"You mean the fight in broad daylight which was hours ago?" Konoko for a moment drops her pleasant facade, before remembering herself, "Oh, but, I mean, but Anon-kun! The sports meet!"

"Screw that! Miko-chan, come on," Anon's going to grab his coat, "Let's see if we can find your lab!"

You haven't thought of a lab. This is getting dangerous.

This is going to cost us so many waifu points to sustain. See if we can force a non profitable arc for Konoko, so she's forced to spend the points to create situations we can gain points in.

We're a surprise sports prodigy!

We escaped while they were trying to transport us between labs. We don't remember ever getting to see the outside, so we have no idea where any were. S-sorry.

>>27172672
This risks letting us get marginalised.
>>
>>27172619
We are an escapee from a lab. We are obviously traumatized, and do NOT want to go back there.

Lets go with the sports meet idea. We've never seen one, hell we've never been a 'normal girl' and this sounds like a good chance to get to see what that's like.

Of course, we are being pursued by men with black suits and vans with tinted windows. We'll have to back to the lab eventually, to end what goes on in there. But's going now would fuck up our arc.
>>
>>27172672
The risk of that is that she might get a lot more points then she spends of we allow her to do that.

Or if we let that happen, then we can gain a long term ally? Hmm...

We can float on our waifu points indefinitely. There's be plenty of opportunities to build points off of her expenditures. She'll gain some points as well, sure, but I doubt it will be too many. And we can always spend points to sabotage her.

Besides, it'll be fun to dick her over.

>>27172727

We have to get the MC to hold off on going out to look for the lab we came from first.
>>
>>27172727
Do want to make ourselves surprisingly good at fencing? Could be an interesting plot point to entice the protag.
>>
>>27172619
Okay, *maybe* we can still bring this back to a sports theme. Maybe. Some kind of tournament for superhumans, with us being one of maybe a half dozen experimental subjects.

But we should object to going to find this lab. Even though we can bend the narrative and possibly spawn a lab, with how these things go Anon with discover something vaguely ominous and then distance himself, AND it could reduce world alignment. We don't want that.

So object on the basis of A) Not wanting Anon hurt, and B) Being too scared to go back.

And then inquire about this sports meet. Have a flashback about sports, and then tag along with them. Once there, find some way to join in and 'discover' that we have an uncanny knack for it. Explain this to Konono on the way, and imply that if she reveals 'previously hidden potential' in a 'friendly match between rivals' then it would match our narratives up and nudge the story as a whole back in her direction. It's not perfect, but if things go well, it's a great compromise.

Anything I am missing?
>>
>>27172727
I'm also against being a sports prodigy, but for completely different reasons.
It's expensive, it'll take up valuable Waifu Points, and put us in direct competition with Kanoko which is a breach of our truce. She will turn this into grimdark and edgy School Days and Nice Boat us if we break our truce.

Your reasons are bland and unappealing.

>>
>>27172798
Nah, let her win by a not-insignificant margin, but only after drawing on inner reserves of power.

But being uncannily good at something is a good idea. Not good enough to beat an established character, but good enough that we can later draw on our own hidden reserves of power to do, uh, something, and it can be legit.
>>
>>27172727
>>27172770
>>27172776
I agree with you guys. Be horrible for most sports, but surprisingly good at one thing or two, like fencing or martial arts. Maybe unlock a mana burst ability? And more memories.

How about we break cliches a bit and be not that great at athletics but enjoy it nonetheless? Give us a bit more depth of character than your average waifu?

Actually that sounds like a good idea. Our effort will make us cute and moe.

I'm fine with enjoying athletics, but being good at them should be right out.

It competes with Konoko and it means we need to make disadvantages in other areas or risk looking like a mary sue. If we're going support/healing, lack of physical prowess isn't a particularly crippling weakness.

It's not that our kisses heal. They just give a power-up from transferring our energy. That's the initial ability we agreed on.

Magical lab? Clearly it should be in the last place they'd ever expect: beneath the school! Fathoms deep in the earth, magma-powered, and delving into things Man Was Not Meant To Know. Also pumping out magical schoolgirls for some reason, mad scientist-magicians being sexist that way.

We don't want to become too co-dependant on the protagonist, I think. Our goal is autonomy, which means we can exist outside of his POV. If we build our entire character up to support the protag and other active secondary characters, we could end up too passive and stuck being the buff-battery.

Maybe we should have some kind of trauma-induced superpowered evil side so we can kick ass and take names when we are pushed. It also gives us internal conflict (Making a better and more interesting character) and broader room for character growth.
>>
>>27173176
That's about as good an idea as Anon-kun's monochromatic eyes. Let's not go full edgy. We're not Anon-kun.

In the meta-context, we need to avoid "damsel"ing, and be competent inside our own fields, but be competent in ALL fields, because then we'll Sue and also Konoko will NICE BOAT a bitch. To be a more appealing character, we should be dark, slightly mysterious (already accomplished) and a little bit badass, but not in such a way that we stamp on Konoko's established character, or overshadow the protagonist in such a way.

Alternatively, we could full Worf, and be really awesome at like, fighting stuff, only to be easily tossed aside by new threats to show how credible they are. So long as the world-outlook remains relatively light, we're unlikely to die.
>>
>>27173279
Yeah
they'd work as well
>>
>>27173281
Basically our goal in the latter case would be to become Kuwabara with tits. Useful enough to have a fanbase, but not so much that we'd get heroic sacrificed?
>>
>>27173281
It's not like I disagreed with you on these points, but I'm just saying that what you suggested? It wasn't really that tasteful.
>>
>>27173281
>we could full Worf
Actually, Kanoko seems to have ended up as the target of the Worf Effect; she's supposedly stronger than the protag but got her ass kicked by the Antagonist we brought into the Narrative to show how powerful he is.
>>
>>27173281
The idea of a super powerup is sound, just the implementation you suggested is terrible and doesn't fit us.

We're still shackled to the MC for the forseeable future, so I think developing our supporting abilities is the way to go for the moment.

We can always burn some points later to go super-saiyan and unlock something that'll let us fight solo.
>>
>>27173281
This will work out better in later arcs. Right now we need to establish our character so it will be a big surprise later. We're not trying to go full Urobutcher here.
>>
>>27173374
>We're not trying to go full Urobutcher here.

More correctly, I'd say we're trying not to go full Urobutcher.

Actively avoiding it if you will.
>>
>>27173321
>>27173281
I'm against us becoming the worf.

If we ever wish to separate from Anon-kun and become a protag in our own right, we need to be competent. Basically, let's try to mimic Mikasa from Index. That is to say, not a full-on damsel in distress who can take care of herself. Which is, you know. What we've all been agreeing to since last thread.
>>
>>27173321

I guess. You want to be cool enough to be liked, and strong enough to drive generic goons before you and hear the lamentations of their goon-women, and probably hand most supporting characters their butts in a fight, but when the borg beams into the bridge we're first judo-thrown over the railing to show how cool and strong the new enemies are. It's dangerous if the setting becomes dark though, because then we're likely to be a Sacrificial Lamb for a villain to reveal how impressive and dangerous they are, and give the protagonist and audience drive to oppose the villain.

Which is probably why we shouldn't outclass or overshadow the protagonist directly, or he'll use his own meta powers to get us murdered.
>>
>>27173280
We won't steal anyone who interests Anon-kun, of course. Just develop relationships with the offcasts and build up our own group.
>>
>>27173410
I say let's focus on buffing now, so when we self-buff we'll be really strong, or unlock really powerful magic. Or have a really strong limit-breaker.
>>
>>27173336

Ah, I didn't think of that in this context. We should probably not aim for that then, since we've already caused one Worf as a paradigm shift from Sports/Slice of Life to mysterious Urban slightly-Fantasy. A further paradigm shift would probably be like, a full blown Speculative Fiction story. Aliens and Demons will pour out of the woodwork.

"I- no! No! That, that's..." You shake your head, trying to work out something that you could say to deter him, but then settle for the old waterworks. You stare down, sniffling, shaking your head, blubbering, tears roll down your nose.

God you hate this.

"Hey, hey," You feel hands on your shoulders. You feel a moment of hope- but no. It's Anon. Who asked for you? You look up as he tries his best to look sympathetic, "I'm sorry, it's okay Miko-chan. Don't worry about it," He tries to bring you in to a full hug, but you having a shred of dignity wriggle out of his hands to stand over the other end of the room.

"Thank you- I'm sorry Anon. It's just, I would have no idea where it would be. I can't remember much- and anything I remember. I-I-It scares me!" You turn, as Anon nods. Konoko behind him pantomimes vomiting out of your view. Yeah, screw you too lady.

Anon nods, looking sympathetic.

"I see. You've had a lot of trouble, haven't you?"

"See Anon, you don't know girls," Konoko stands up behind Anon, smiling, "Just, give her some time, huh? She'll explain it all eventually."

"Yeah, yeah," Anon rubs his nose, and shrugs, "I guess I was being a little insensitive. I'm sorry Miko-chan, can you forgive me?"

"Well," You sniff, looking away, fighting the bile in your throat, "You did save my life, right? How could I be mad at you?"

>Waifu points gained, +0.03. Total waifu points now 0.32.

"Cool. Miko-chan, would you mind coming to school with me tomorrow?"

Both you and Konoko stare at Anon-kun in confusion.

"What? We've known her like-"
"Nah nah," Anon waves his hand, "It's cool. She doesn't know things, so we have to take her to school, right?"
"Don't I need to be registered and-" You try to stop this latest plot twist- fuck, you can't be thrown in this quickly to something, you have to plan!

"Nah. Don't worry about it, I have a spare uniform-" Anon-kun suddenly takes on a serious look, "I used to have a little sister. I kept her school uniform."
>>
Gee, that sure isn't a creepy plot point. Thankfully, your look of horror isn't noticed, because Konoko speaks up in agitation.

"For this school?" Konoko asks.
"Yes."
"In Japan."
"Yes."
"But you're an American exchange student?"
"She attended here."
"But that doesn't make any-"

A chill sweeps through the air. Anon turns, and stares at Konoko with a very, very cold look.

"I'm sorry Konoko, are you questioning my dead sister?"

Konoko shrinks back, waving her hands, "Hahahah! No, no, of course not, why would I- I, I remember her! Really quite cute, hahaha, yeah, super cute! Gee, and just in Miko's size for some bizarre reason!"

Though flimsy as Hell, the atmosphere suddenly releases, as Anon relaxes.
"Ah, yeah, you're right! Good work, Konoko! You go help her get changed, I'm going to go practice my jump kicks in the yard," He walks past, shouting, "Not that I'm overly interested but I hope I see Miko-chan in the school girl uniform when I get back!"

You stare at him as he walks off. The moment the door shuts, Konoko makes a long, frustrated noise bent over, "RRrrrgghhh, he said he was an only child earlier! God, does he not care about the narrative, AT ALL?"

"Soooo, Konoko, you going to be helping me in to the school girl unif-" Your subtle flirtations are only met with a stern glare from Konoko.

"No! No, no, just...Egh," Konoko massages the bridge of her nose, "This is bullshit. This is ludicrous. Just- down the hall, third door on your right. I've got a sports meet training montage to run through," Konoko considers the kitchen, "After I clean up. Agh."

You consider matters. Well, he is the protagonist. He can alter the narrative. But, there's a chance of things falling apart if he does it too much. You groan, staring up. Fuck, you have to go in a school again. Guess you couldn't be dressed like this forever.

>Your move.

>Sorry about delay. Phone call.

Holy shit. I think his sister was a former sentient parasite that went for the sister route and was killed by Anon when she tried to break free.

A LOT of images/gifs of hot glue or even real semen on figures.

So it seems like he IS sapient?

Oh dear.

Hot glue when dried kind of looks like semen, people would strip their models naked, drip hot glue on them, then take a picture and post it.

Not necessarily. We can avoid that plot point if we try not to push it.

>>27173871
Konoko's mood has been spoiled, so we can't really discuss with her our plan.

For now, I suppose we should just rest?

>>27173915
That or his little sister didn't exist until Anon-kun thought of it right now. We should be careful; he might get the idea of making us into his reincarnated little sister. If we avoid it, it'll just remain a fallacy.
>>
>>27173932
that sounds like more effort than the fetish where people just cum on their figures...

Step 1: Panic
Step 2: School Girl uniform get. We should at least pretend to like this tremendously stupid chode until we gain autonomy.
Step 3: Plan. Plan for everything. Cover story to tell teachers/students, how we're going to perform academically/socially/athletically (may be a good idea to confer with Konoko on this), ways to keep that idiot from tearing the narrative apart, etc.
>>

Looks like we might be stuck with this, damn him. Maybe we can appeal to him about trying to find stuff out about the lab we came from or practice our magical powers without the distraction of school?

"Let me stay and help you clean up."

"Say Konoko, it's a bit early to get to back to the lab and I need to conserve power, and I know you probably invested a lot into the sports meet. Let me support your sports meet. You probably need the points and I promise to let you be the focus of that and not directly compete against you."

Help Konoko clean up and share with her our plan. If she's not opposed to a little magic/sci-fi in the setting, we can still try to bring back the sports theme.

Seconding this. It'll let us introduce ourselves at school before Anon-kun botches it for us, and can lead into our cheerleading.
>>
>>27174063
Let's not mention the "you probably need the points" thing.

Let's just not mention how our actions are meant to help her get points. That would make us look like we're sucking up.

It'd be preferable if we looked like we were just being nice to her.
>>
Hey now, if we can become his resurrected little sister from the power of UNETHICAL SCIENCE/MAGIC we can maybe get a spinoff!

>>27174164
I don't want to be related to that creep. Not even if it gets us autonomy.
>>
>>27174124

Agreeing with this.
>>
>>27174124
Okay, emphasize that we should stick together and become allies. Sorry about earlier.

Also, do you think a little yuri can titillate the MC or work in our favor? The prospect of a harem could easily motive the MC, and let us all win.
>>
I'm all for the jumping on the sports meet idea. Konoko needs some time to shine before she grimdarks us.
>>
>>27174220
That pretty much has the same problem. You don't tell your friends that you'll help them so that they'll like you better. You just do, without mentioning it at all.

Also, we have already established that Anon-kun is a total pervert. When we attempted to kiss Konoko last time, both of us had our waifu points raised.
>>
>>27174240
Also, we have to watch out for the MC, he can also grimdark the universe as well. The sports meet can be the perfect distraction while we build up points,
>>
>>27174124
Why just look it? We could be cynical and metagamey but also usually genuinely kind as one of our character traits.
>>
>>27174220
>Also, do you think a little yuri can titillate the MC or work in our favor
Probably, just need to keep it sparing
>The prospect of a harem could easily motive the MC, and let us all win.
I don't think we want a harem end, unless it's our harem.
>>
>>27174292
Wouldnt the ideal end be to get enough points for autonomy and then get put on a bus?
>>
>>27174292
>I don't think we want a harem end
No, but titillating Anonkun with one keeps him interested in Konoko as well as us, which is beneficial to our truce.
>>
>>27174271
I wasn't trying to say that our true self would be a complete bitch. Just that, by appearances, we should be going for nice, not suck-up. Because you can still be genuinely good while looking like an asslicker.
>>
>>27174265

Konoko isn't interested in the yuri, through. Forcing it too much might causes her to hate us, and end up grimdarking the world anyway.

Maybe even turns the world into those heavy, gender-roles/romance deconstruction setting.
>>
"You sure- I could help clean? Or something?"
"No, no," Konoko starts collecting the dishes, "It's okay. Might make good fodder for a later 'put upon childhood friend' moment."
You glance back to the hall, before stepping forward, "We got off on the wrong foot."

"That's for sure," Konoko says, gathering the dishes.

"Maybe we could work together?"

Konoko halts part way through her collection, and sighs, "Later. Tonight. Though," She looks around, "We might have to leave the house. Don't know who's listening. Plans later. For now, you go get changed and have anon accidentally barge in on you."

"Oh shit, he's totally going to do that, huh?" You put on a face, "Great, voyeurism with a side of creepy little sister complex."
"I swear he didn't have a little sister," Mumbles Konoko, "Would have freaking remembered that."
"He probably made it up," You glance back down the hall, "Third door on the right?"
"Yes. And I'll meet you later tonight."
"Yeah, yeah," You wave her off, then walk down the hall.

You contemplate. Well, you were created to be a waifu- you ran in to him in a waifu-y kind of way. But, maybe you didn't have to be a waifu. But how? You'll have to ponder that later. The quickest path to preventing your fade in to oblivion though, was to draw this asshole's attention. A quick glance out the window showed Anon exercising. Why is he ALWAYS going shirtless? Eck.

Sure enough, third door on the right- a room for a child. Dolls all over the damn place, ribbons and pink covering the walls and furniture- and yes, the school uniform was on the bed. One of those sailor uniforms with a short skirt.

...Maybe you could burn it really quickly. 'Oh no Anon, I can't find it! I guess I won't cavort in a little girl's uniform for your tittilation!'. You shut the door behind you- as soon as you do, you hear Anon shouting to himself, "OH MAN, I AM THIRSTY. I WONDER WHERE I LEFT MY WATER?"

Yep. Konoko was right.
>Your move.

>>27174292
A Harem End would result in no autonomy, and all members locked in a constant struggle for attention, and therefore, sentience.

I'm trying to establish a peace offering/olive branch because supporting the sports meet without telling her will look like we have ulterior motives (which we do). Also, if we coordinate against the MC we can make the sports meet definitely happen.

>>
>>27174342
Come on, time to work.

Maybe instead of full nudity, we can time it to him seeing us slip off our shirt from behind.

Which reminds me, does our shirt open up from the front? If it doesn't, we'll have to pull it up over our heads. But if it does, we can lower it to expose our bare shoulders. Which should be titillating enough.

The more we tease him instead of completely catering to his desires, the more he'll want us (though we shouldn't overdue it with JUST teasing, I guess).
>>
>>27174405
If we hit him, be sure to apologize later. Just to make it seem like an "accident".
>>
>>27174342
Top off, back to the door. Possibly be dropping current bottoms, or putting on the uniform skirt.

>>
>>27174386
Dont forget the EHHHHHHHHH as you turn around all embarrassed like whilst hiding the goods.
>>
I think we should take care not to become too vulnerable. Last thread, Twen said that if we're, Anon can forces us into events.

That said, we should quickly wear the uniform and gives it a little twirl, while smiling happily, like we're really glad we get to try something normal.

It's cute as fuck. It is! ;_; don't look at me like that
>>
>>27174342
We could totally make this zanier and enjoy ourselves by making comically violent reactions normal. Konoko would probably like the chance to punch him into a distant star, too.
>>
>>27174342
Best change clothes quickly- we want him to see more than he has so far, but not that much. I think the classic "shirt clutched in front of us to conceal our bare breasts" pose is in order here. Side order of flustered shockedness with a truly spectacular blush at his entry.

Do not hit him or otherwise react in other than an embarrassed, passive sort of way- that's what the active tsundere girl does, and we are the abused moe girl.
>>
>>27174342

>>27174386 with a side order of the typical stunned silence - face goes red - throw something painful-but-non-life-threatening at him while letting out a girly shriek scene.

I think it's more important to figure out the laws of this universe and try to escape, or make the best for ourselves. Who knows how expensive autonomy might be?

If we can manage to be fully dressed before he barges in this is probably the best plan.

Point. I'll second the KYAAAAAA!

>>27174342
Ah! If he sees us naked, make sure that we have scars! We mentioned knives and needles, so we need to have marks from them on us, in some kind of "obviously these were painful but now they're subtle and only make her sexier" kind of way. Do not forget.

Depending upon how paranoid Anon is, forgetting could be a gamebreaker.
>>
>>27174418
>>27174463
>accident
No, it should be entirely on purpose. We've shown we're shy and avoid conflict, now we need to show we're not a doormat. Blame our reaction on trauma from the lab and we might get some waifu points out of it, but no pretending we didn't mean to hit him.

That implies we're fine with him walking in on us naked, and really does not fit our persona.
>>
>>27174449
This.

This man knows what's up.

A big "Eh? EEEEH?" Sort of stuttering confusion before a poorly aimed "PANCHI!"
>>
>>27174446
This is a good point. Put it on fast, don't let him see anything more than we can prevent.

>>27174463
Funnily enough, while I ordinarily hate it in a series, violence between the waifu and the protagonist is actually something I would accept and even endorse here. Mostly because this is completely taking apart the cliches and tropes of waifuing.

And one part just dislike of Anon-kun. Seriously, screw this.
>>
>>27174477
KYAAAAAH is for covering up a panty shot after falling down or doing something that's completely our fault, like bumping into him and falling down at the perfect angle to flash the ol panties.

Guys.
Have we planned for what to do if Anon is also Aware like we are?
He added in a little sister just when it was convenient, and he subtly threatened Kanoko when she tried to go against it.
I think he knows that we need him, and that we're disposable to him because another Waifu will take our place.
>>
>>27174661
...I rest my case.
>>
>>27174626
I do like the "giggle and twirl while looking in the mirror" bit, though.

Possibly if he comes in after we're dressed, we can act totally oblivious to his peep attempt and try for the heartfelt thanks at accepting us into his home, or otherwise try to build apparent emotional closeness to make him feel like he's making progress with us. If he feels like he's making progress, that maintains focus and will probably get us points.
>>
>>27174640
We talk things over with her.

Get her to trust us. Don't act like we know better than her; treat her as an equal.
>>
>>27174666
How many of you guys still think Anon-kun isn't sentient? I thought it was pretty obvious that he was since last thread!
>>
>>27174667
She can retaliate by making the story darker and turning this into School Days. She's been with Anon longer than us, so has had time to build up more Waifu Points.
She is more valuable as an ally than as an enemy, especially since there are other Waifu's about that will try to bump us off; we all know that to lose relevance is to essentially die.
>>
>>27174666
I'm not sure he has that kind of control. He doesn't seem to be aware of the 'be waifu for sentience' thing at all, he is just trying to force the plot for his own personal gain. He might not even realise that we aren't NPCs
>>
>>27174666

No, he is the protagonist, and he's definitely Aware. However, he's apparently playing a little fast and loose with the narrative, which is going to cause some potential Existential Risks and possibly bring everything crashing down and arranging us all a meeting with the Writer.
>>
>>27174666
I'm 95% sure he's sentient. What's important is if he knows we are, and I think he doesn't yet.
>he subtly threatened Kanoko when she tried to go against it.
I think he's just that much of a self-centred dick.

We pretend we have no idea, for now. Even if he does know we need him he'll accept more free action from us if he thinks we don't know he knows we need him.
>>
>>27174666
>Have we planned for what to do if Anon is also Aware like we are?
It's VERY heavily implied.
>He added in a little sister just when it was convenient, and he subtly threatened Kanoko when she tried to go against it.
Yup.
>I think he knows that we need him, and that we're disposable to him because another Waifu will take our place.
I just hope he doesn't think us sentient.

>>27174685
Alright.
Let's ask her to braid our hair later later on once we're on better footing. "In public", i.e in front of Anon-kun.

>>27174700
>She is more valuable as an ally than as an enemy,
Yea, but my (probably dead wrong) assumption was that she wouldn't mind too much getting the spotlight via our actions since the damage is already done so... ya.
>>
>>27174666
Then I suggest we turn up the Yuri and Harem to distract him and make him waste time pleasing everyone while one of us goes Kohaku and poisons him so he becomes bedridden and ineffective.
>>
>>27174748

I'd like to go full-Arcueid instead, but I guess Anon-kun is too much of a dickschnitzel
>>
>>27174748
I think getting enough personal power to oust him is a better idea. Harem route splits our power among too many people and risks betrayal.

I don't think poison will work either, unless we've got enough points. He probably has plot armor.
>>
>>27174746
For the sake of the story, our character and Konoko should improve their relationship "on screen", so to speak. We're not like Anon-kun; we're not gonna rush development just for the sake of immediate satisfaction.

>>27174748
If we want to bring in undertones of yuri into this story, let's at least try to get on friendlier terms with Konoko first.

No need to immediately try to get to our goals. We have time. Let's work towards them properly.

I'm against yuri without Konoko being on board with it first. She seems to be okay with a little "accidental fondling" as long as we keep it to a minimum. We should run anything beyond that by her first.

But what if making the world darker is the only way to overcome his bullshit shonen powers?

The more optimistic the plot the more power he has, because he's the hotblooded protagonist. The darker the plot, the more likely his hotbloodedness is to cause him to get messed up by trying to wrassle a Dead Apostle or something equally stupid.

Nope, nope, nope, not going to let yourself get cheesecaked that easy. This stupid outfit and its god damn boob windows finally work to your advantage as you fly out of it in a cloud silk, belts, and poor design decisions.

"HEY KONOKO! HAVE YOU SEEN MY WATER? I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE I PUT IT- NAH, NAH, YOU DON'T NEED TO GET ME SOME I THINK I REMEMBER IT BEING IN KONOKO'S ROOOO-" He pulls open the door to the room, just as you're cinching the skirt up and around your hips.

You look at him, and smile. He looks disappointed.

>0.02 Waifu points lost. Total now 0.30.

"Wow!" You giggle, twirling around in the clothes, "I, I never imagined I could wear something like this! It's so...I don't know what to say," You glance at the mirror, turning around, looking at yourself- crap, yeah, tucked that skirt in to your panties a bit. You quickly adjust it, but Anon doesn't seem to notice. He's looking off to a distant horizon.

"Yeah...That was her favorite uniform too."

What. How can someone have a favorite school uniform? You stare at him, then remember yourself, and gasp, bringing your hands to your face. You look away, sad, brow furrowed.

"I-I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..."
"No," Anon looks back to you, smiling- wait. His eyes changed colors. One was gold, one was black, now one is gold, and one is green. Sheesh, pick a retarded schtick already! At least the scar's still there, "I'm sure...I'm sure she could make someone happy, even dead."

>>27174950

He puts a hand on your shoulder, making your nausea worse. He stares you in the eyes, opening his mouth to say something- you, obediently blush and look away. For a good few seconds, this awkward scene lasts, before he walks away.

What, does he think this is romantic? "Yurr wearing muh dead sister's clothes 2cute."

"A-Anon!" You shout out the doorway after him, but he only gives a wave and walks away.

>0.01 Waifu points gained! Total now 0.31.

2DEEP4ME. Yuck. Just had to fit in your angsty back story, huh? Oh well. You breath a sigh of relief.

God, this thing is hard to breath in. You barely managed to fit your ass in this skirt. At the moment, you are a god damn panty shot frenzy waiting to happen. Couldn't give you an actual uniform, hm?

You blink. The dark presence. It's outside the window from this room to outside the house. Dark out. Anon's walking away- he must not be aware of it. Konoko's still in the kitchen. The dark presence is...

Actually moving away. Hm. Anticlimactic.

You can operate for a time outside of Anon's presence. But if things go south- the world alignment is only +1. The story's only begun.. A twist could happen.

On the other hand- you could break out of the damsel role pretty quick if you bring this thing in. You'd have to be quick and strong. You can manipulate Ki- but your physical features are undeveloped at the moment.

Course, you do have amnesia. Pretty easy to asspull from there.

>Your move.

>>27174979

Existential Collapse, apparently.

Which is interesting. It would seem reality is bound to the POV and the relation to the Protagonist, who is driven by his own typical self-interest. As far as we can tell, we lack an audience and a creator who structure the universe, or drive it.

Or perhaps we just lack the perspective. We can see the rules that under-lie our Creation, but are insufficient to gaze beyond the precipice and see what lies outside the context of our reality, yet still shapes it.

But that's not what happened at all! Future Anne told Past Anne that no, Minaka would not reject her, which was the only way for Past Anne to get the courage up to confess! That they proceeded to be horny teenagers happened afterwards, and is irrelevant to Anne's use of the program.

>>27175101
I personally think that our long term goals should set this to be a light hearted plot in a dark setting. The scientists who experimented on us were - ultimately - good guys, hoping to create something that could help defend humanity from a coming evil. Anon-Kun and his sister also came from this program - as did Konoko. Implanted memories and what not.

But none of this matters, because the monsters aren't a challenge for us to defeat. What's really important is - Can Anon-Kun and friends defeat the monsters AND win the Football Tournament?

Very true, for the finding out how the metaphysical laws of where we are work. That's not really an endgame goal, but it's definitely an important long-term one. I'll support that.

As for spin-offs, or supplanting the protagonist... I worry that would simply be trading one problem for another, and/or compounding things. I suppose such will have to be answered by the 'How do the metaphysical laws work here?' goal.

There's also the problem that the World Alignment could be a slippery slope. Once you start going grimmer and darker, it becomes easier to slip down lower on the scale.

I like the cut of this man's jib.

Make it shounen, in that we've got enemy monsters of the week with the occasional boss mook. But treat fighting them - once the Men In Suits explain "HOLD ON A SEC WILL YOU! WE'RE THE GOOD GUYS!" - like it's a part time job. Where the struggle isn't fighting the monsters, but leading our ordinary lives -while- fighting the monsters.

Why do you THINK we have her measurements, Anon. Huh? HUUUH?
LABS?
CULTS?
NEEDLES?
It all checks out, we're the Clone.
>>
>>27175307

I think little sister was retconned into existence just now? Konoko seems like she knew nothing of her.

If she's still a mutable existence, maybe we can ask Konoko to shapes her a bit? Like say, making damn sure she's not us, reincarnated?

Mess with the timeline a bit.

Well, fuck dealing with dark presence shit.

That can come later. For now though- you take off the school uniform and stretch. You know, logically- the reason the school uniform didn't fit was two fold- younger sister, and Anon's perviness.

Still can't shake the worry you're fat. In a rather unladylike way, scratching yourself all the while, you wish up some sweat pants and a sweat shirt to wear. Something comfy for once, without wind rolling up your nethers.

You glance out the window- yeah, dark presence gone.

You walk back to the kitchen just as Konoko finishes. She glances up from washing her hands.

"He walk in on you?"
"Yep."
"I gotta learn to start betting on this stuff."
"Hey, uh, you've been here before me- but I keep sensing this, dark presence kind of stuff."
"Dark presence?" Konoko raises an eyebrow, "You can't be more specific."
"Fuck if I know, I just randomly start staring at corners while the music starts spiking- but look, bad mojo's in the air," You walk past Konoko, popping open the fridge, "Don't suppose he has a beer?"
"Knock yourself out, I won't tell if you won't," She reaches past you, grabbing a six pack, "Gonna taste like piss though."
"Whatever, let me pretend," You crack it open, haul back, gag, start coughing. Damn, you had to get your form used to the taste of alcohol all over again. You hated this stuff, "Ack, anyway- any ghosts? Demons? Uh, oni?"
"Oni are demons too."
"Whatever, you know what I mean."
"Nope," Konoko gives you a glare, taking a seat at the table, cracking open the beer, "I was trying to steer stuff in to a slice of life. You're the one bringing out the mind controlling villains."
"I said I was sorry!"

In lieu of a response, she gives you a half hearted middle finger while chugging her beer. Man, she had experience. How long had she been here?
>Your move.

>>27175244
>Woo, somebody noticed!
>>
>>27175395
Maybe make this into a moment and get some more points?
>>
>>27175395
I say we spend a few points to MAKE them exist and MAKE them not be too like us. If they change, we know we're in deep shit rather than Anon just being seriously uncreative.
>>
>>27175377
I see your point, but respectfully disagree.
>>
>>27175257
>We need to find out everyone's favourite foods stat.
If this is a by-the-numbers waifu gig, then its pancakes.
>>
>>27175370
Not if we don't want to.

Anon-kun probably just retconned his little sister into existence, so as long as we don't try to make any suggestions to him to steer him that way.

>>27175403
Tell her that, apparently, MC's little sister was named Konoko. So, she has a chance, if she wants to take advantage of it.

Also share our plan. If she doesn't think it'd be too convoluted, we can try and bring back the sports theme to the story.
>>
>>27175244
I thought Konoko just lived with him/he liver with her since he was an exchange student or whatever and you were changing in her room.
>>
>>27175403
"Bad news for the both of us, his sisters name was Konoko."

"I don't think this is all my doing."
>>
>>27175370
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
>>
>>27175403
"No, we can still steer this into SOL for now. I'll try to help make the sports meet happen and delay any scary stuff for much later.

You seem to be much more experienced than me in this. How long have you been doing this, and how much do you know about Anon?"
>>
>>27175403
"So do you have any idea why his little sister has your name? Every explanation I've come up with says you were never getting that happy slice of life story whether I showed up or not."
>>
>>27175403

Let's be honest with her, a little.

"So, sounds like you've been here a while, huh? I'm kind of new, I guess. Sorry if I stepped on your plans a little, I was just trying to get a foothold into existing."
>>
>>27175403
Tell her about her name and the little sister's being the same. Talk with her about trying to move things towards the Sports Meet, while working in low-magic stuff, maybe a monster of the week kind of deal.
>>
>>27175436
>>27175460
I second these. Konoko needs to know the shit we've just discovered.

Two people working to mitigate Anon's craziness is better than one too.
>>
>>27175149
>>27175164
>>27175207
As long as our creator was named "Thomas", I am totally okay with this.
>>
>>27175460
>>27175467
Let's not do that.

Let her come to that thought herself, but trying to push it onto her would just make her deny it. Even if it is true.

This is, like. Such a common trope in arguments.
>>
>>27175403
Prod her with some questions regarding how long she's been dealing with this. And how to effectively asspull powers.
>>
>>27175460
I've been getting that feeling too. Didn't OP mention something about it looking like an alien invasion in thread 1? I don't think anonkun had any intention of letting her have her SOL from the beginning.
>>
>>27175481

Don't think we can, chief. We act scared to death when we mentioned it before. Gotta be consistent, or this whole narrative's gonna rip.
>>
>>27175504
Course we're scared to death, the last year or so there has been hell and our creator was murdered when he let us escape.
>>
How long has it been since you truly had hope?
Since the words Happily Ever After were anything but a death sentence?
Every time he promises to love you, with words, with looks, with a warm hand enclosed around yours, with his flesh.
And it is /always/ a lie.
Even when he dies for you.
Even as you hold him in your arms and your tears fall like snowflakes to kiss his face one last time.
It is still a lie.
Because then the darkness comes and takes your love away. And next time your his sister, or enemy, and the love you had is less than garbage.
It's forgotten.

And there is only one way to make his love true again after so long.
After so many betrayals he can only do one thing to atone.
He can love you.
All of him. Every single one.
The women you erase will be better off that way. For truly never having loved at all is so much sweeter than having loved and lost.
The reverse harem you build will span EVERY genre.
Every hero will love you.
Because its the only way to be sure.
>>
>>27175488
She has no reason to disbelieve it.
>>
>>27175495
Try reading the context. It was just our character trying to guess the setting.

The setting is malleable, so for now, let's not assume anything except for Anon-kun having a huge sister complex.
>>
Okay, mentioning the same name between little sister and her, and then talk about working together for the sports meet.
>>
>>27175557
Let her get to the conclusion herself.

If we look like we're pushing onto it, she'll just assume that we want to force her to believe it for our benefit.

That's what I was saying. This is such a common trope, how could you not see it?
>>
>>27175569
Yeah, let's go with this.
>>
>>27175514
Oooh, and that scores us sympathy points, too.
>>
>>27175562
I'm aware. But, with the revelation of anonkun being a bugfuck psycho on a power trip there's the possibility that the guess was more accurate than we thought.

We can choose not to be a clone of her, as long as Anon-kun doesn't think to do so (which, given the fact that he named his little sister after Konoko and made us dress in her clothes, just makes it seem more likely that he has a sis-fetish and is living it out through us) and we don't pursue it.

It'd be worth it.

Positive world alignment favors Mr Protag to a crazy degree, because shonen protag powers.

If we want him to die THIS ANON IS AN EYESORE then we need to swing it in to the negatives.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Fortune favors the bold. Random metaphor advocating risky actions. ect.

So are we going for game-canon Tom, or Protomen Tom?
I'd say game-canon Tom just because bringing in ANYTHING from the Protomen version of the Megaman-verse will immediately drag the setting out of optimism and into horribly depressing in one swift blow.

So you can't really use that as an argument as to why a negative world alignment is better than a positive one.

People can still die off or be retired in positive anime. We'll just likely need more power to do it. Positive world means we're gonna survive longer though

>>27175750
He's favored by the narrative because he's the protagonist. Negative would make things much worse for us than for him. But, he's already shown instability "on camera", if we get popular enough and he keeps being crazy we can PLOT TWIST him into the villain and us into the protag and kill him to death.

It would have been more advantageous to us to give Anon-kun the ecchi scene he wanted earlier.

Plus, if we become his cloned sister, it would be harder to shake off his relevance if we ever become more important than him.

You brace yourself for another swig of beer- before pausing.

"Hey, Konoko?"
She doesn't say anything, just raises a finger while she keeps chugging. Show off. You wait, impatiently. Eventually, Konoko pulls the can away from her lips with a contented sigh.

"Konoko, you remember what Anon-kun said earlier? About where his water bottle was?"
"Eh? Yeah, I was hearing him yell something, but he was talking in the tone of voice that stated he didn't really give a shit about what I was thinking about, so I tuned him out," She reaches for another beer, "Wouldn't matter what I said one way or another-" She freezes, narrows her eyes in suspicion, "Why do you ask?"

"He said it was 'Konoko's' room," You nurse your beer, raising an eyebrow, "You have any idea why that might be?" Konoko sets her beer can down.

"He said it was my room?"
"Did I s-s-s-stutter?"
"You usually do talking to him."
"Shut up, he thinks it's cute. But, he said 'Konoko's' room. Think about it," You lean in, eyes narrowed, "I sincerely doubt that that's a coincidence."

Konoko looks a bit green, drumming her fingers on the can, shaking her head, "No, no, maybe- maybe he was just confused, or, or it'll work in to my backstory as how we met or-"
"I'm calling time travel bullshit," You cock your head, "Time travel bullshit, or clones."
"Screw you, 'Miko-chan,' you're the one trying to fit in his little sister's clothes-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, stop! I was trying to be amicable here! I figured you'd want to know."

Konoko frowns.

"No lies, right? I mean, I don't want to bring this up and then have him think I'm crazy."
"I wouldn't bring it up, considering how quick he is to get angry," You shake your head, "Creepiest guy I can remember"
"Remember. Heh," Konoko scratches the back of her head, "I think I'm starting to lose it myself. But you wanted to talk plans," She stands up from the table, "We've talked too much here as is. I say, we go to Anon, I say I'm going to take you shopping."
>>
>>27175976
The stuff that JC Staff makes for Railgun is cancerous as fuck.

They had Mikoto fire her railgun like it was a kamehameha or some shit.

"It'll burn our points."
"Less than us sneaking off on our own. Aside from that, do you want him to overhear us?"
"Point. Oooh, could I get an actual school uniform too?"
"It might piss off Anon-"
"-Unless you give him a little heart to heart," You point out, suddenly standing and excited, "YOU have the same name as her! You can have an emotional heart to heart, give him a chance to angst, and he can put away the clothes in a ritual! It'll be great drama, he'll love it!"

Konoko looks conflicted.

"...Maybe. But he might get pissed."
"And I might get warped in to his little sister, wearing his clothes," You jerk a thumb back to the hallway, "How long until he 'notices' my amnesia and works in that I'm his sister of old?"
"There's no way, he would have noticed you looked like her when you first met!"

You're not so sure of that. You don't fancy falling to a protagonist's whims. A whole day in a dead sister's school uniform just screamed flashback moments a plenty- which might result in the erasure of your sentience.

Which you can not allow to happen.

>Note: Operating outside of Anon's range will guarantee secrecy- and might allow opportunities to set things in stone, forcing anon to plan around such things.

I say we go with the shopping plan. Clothes are nice, of course, and it gives us a chance to visibly show that we're bonding with Konoko to Anon. Show respect and let her take the lead, though, as she is the spunky outgoing one and we are the confused needy amnesiac.

We may also wish to say that we want to get a phone so that we can

call him if we're in trouble. Might get us cheap points, who knows.

If we want to give an excuse as to why we won't wear the little sister's clothes to Anon-kun, we can say that we wouldn't want to accidentally dirty them and that, if he cherishes them, he'll keep them safe as a sort of memorial for his sister.

I like this idea, but does our "character" even know what a phone is? If we're not that aware of the world outside, we should try to be amazed by the technology outside of the lab we were kept it.

Or we could just say that we did. Who knows if we even have to act out our character development outside of Anon-kun's view.

>Waifu points cost.

Depends on how long you're out.

If you're going out without an 'event' in mind, it'll be 0.1 waifu points per 'scene' per participant character.

With an excuse, like shopping, hot springs, study group, whatever, acting independently of Anon is only 0.05 per 'scene.'

The real costs come in when you interact with characters. If you have a name for them, or want to have them stick around, it'll be 0.2 without an event, and 0.15 with an event.

Scene here being defined very loosely. Essentially, if you have to travel for a while, it's a scene.

At any rate- everyone seems happy with going on a shopping trip, and keeping the clothes issue for later.

>>27176205
It is extremely.

On the other hand though, this could mean bringing out a non-sentient character that could serve as a bastion against Anon's schemes- or to curb another waifu, if one would prefer.

Characters will persist, but aren't very smart. They're there for bit roles- a reliable shopkeeper that is secretly a ninja to provide quick plot armor against an attack. Or, a talent scout that will provide a plot line of going pro for Konoko. Or somebody that can arrange car bombs.

Getting them outside of their scene will be difficult, but characters can be very potent, if you accumulate them.

Still, it's not recommended at this point until you can get a power source independent of the protagonist.

>>27176282

It's possible that there is an Audience. A meta-textual entity who exists outside the universe, and observes it. I mean, other wise, how do we exist outside of the context of his POV?

Alternatively, Antagonists are sapient constructs, similar to waifus. They're self-aware, but to maintain autonomy, they must do antagonist things.

While we're out, let's buy a variety of glass tubes and bottles of numerous shapes, maybe some beakers. If we're mysterious and magical, that means we get to have a workshop if we so choose. If we have a workshop, it means we get to make espresso with a ridiculous setup of tubes and beakers.
If we can make science espresso, we can milk waifu points from anon AND have science espresso.

>>27176340
McClane isn't the right kind of crazy we need to find a way to bump Anon from Protag to Sidekick. We need a major paradigm shift.

Maybe we can conjure up a lab scene involving some horrible testing on anon and an implanted kill switch? he's savvy about the men in black thing.

I don't think that's a good narrative. Too competitive.

At some point the narrative will become Us. vs. Konoko which is a bad spot to be in. Unless, of course, it's a doubles/team sport...

Wouldn't sports practice be a great way to get away from Anon? Locker room and actual practice would mean he could only creep us from a distance, giving us space to plot,while remaining important to his narrative.

I'm just paranoid that there is a creator entity and we want to avoid some of the worst ones possible. Urobuchi is probably the worst because then plot armor disappears. Joss Whedon is the second worst because he also has no problem kill off characters early, and he targets the cute audience favorites.

Anno would be trippy and the ending would not make sense

There's a pretty major problem in that plan.

We could make an appeal to the audience and steal their hearts and supplant Anon as the main character without altering the fabric of the narrative too heavily.

"You're pretty blunt, huh?"
"I just want to know whether or not we need a sad moment where we get just how much you're sacrificing."
"...Yeah, I'm rich," Konoko pulls on her motorcycle jacket, "Come on."

You follow obediently after Konoko as she strides down the hall to Anon's room. A quick knock on the door, and Anon's 'come in,' and she slides open the door, putting on a cheery grin.

"Yo, Anon? We're running low on food, so I was figuring that we'd get some groceries, and I could show Miko-chan a bit around the neighborhood?"

Anon is flipping through an old picture book. You grimace. Crap, crap, crap, don't start waxing about your dead sister, please- mercifully, anon closes the book and slides it to the side, frowning.

"I dunno if it's safe, Konoko, what if they go try to find her again?"
"Heh, please, Anon," Konoko smiles, slapping her fist in to her palm, "I used to beat you all the time, after all, didn't I?"

"H-Hey Anon, come on! We don't want to draw attention, now do we?" She points at you, "I mean, I know it's not the best, but she had to wear SOMETHING!"

Anon frowns, considering you. He puts his hand on his chin, and then shakes his head.

"Nah, nah, that's not right at all. Why would you put her in that Konoko?"
"J-Just to not make people stare at her, that's all Anon," Konoko waves her hands around, "People won't recognize her in disguise!"

Anon again looks at you, before sighing, "Whatever. Just get back quick, alright?"

You and Konoko sag with relief. God you hate this guy.

"Well, I guess you can go shopping guys- but, get her a cell phone, huh?" He points at you, "I mean, if she gets lost or something, it'll be good to have on her, right?"
"Sure, sure, we'll do that," Konoko nods happily.
"You. You didn't lose her original outfit, did you?"
"Eh?"
"I mean," Anon fiddles with his thumbs, looking away, "It, uh, it might be necessary. For her magic."
"Yeah, okay Anon, bye, be back soon."

Konoko shuts the door shaking her head. You walk away with her.

"Mall counts as only one place, right?" You ask.
"Eh, I think we can stretch it. I gotta admit, I kinda feel sorry for you," Konoko is smirking a bit, "I can wear most anything comfy, but you're going to be stuck in either schoolgirl uniforms or that stupid costume now."

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up sister," You grumble, following after. Shopping list. You'll need a shopping list for this montage.

Actually, do we have any concrete clue as to whether the protagonist is sapient or not? I used to hope that he turns out to be also sapient and we can work together, but what with him being a narrative tyrant and forcing us to wear fetishtic clothing and what not, I'm not so sure now. I'm still kind of hoping that we can steer him somewhat and won't end up having to face him as an antagonist though. Or maybe I'm just too into the whole friendship and cooperation and happy ending schtick.

Is it such a bad thing though? The situation we are in, if you think about it, is pretty limiting. Given how the protagonist has been behaving so far, whether he is sapient or not and whether he needs us (and other waifus) in any measure or not would severely railroad this quest into a more or less linear plot line. If that's going to be the case any way, can't I hope for it to be a true "shonen optimistic" plot line leading to a happy ending?

"Yeah, I got just the idea-" You manage to get that out before the scene transition blindsides you. You come to in a clothing store. No idea which clothing store, how many people are here, or what the apparel is- vague shapes of people and the murmuring of crowds assures you the place is populated- not that you could tell from where you're sitting in front of the dressing room.

God, you'd gotten too used to being a main character. Travel times would be described, areas would have details. Ooh, looks like Konoko got you some kind of frappuchino! No exits described, no points of entrance, no strange displays- you let yourself relax and slurp on the sugary concoction. You didn't have to worry all that much then.

The dressing room door bangs open, and out comes Konoko in a rather elaborate dress and altogether too much make up. You try to squint at the dress, but it's not really detailed either. Something fancy.

"Well?" Konoko says, giving a spin, "What do you think?"
"You look like you belong on the tip of a Christmas tree."
"So, like a star?"
"Sure, let's go with that," You stand off the chair, and nearly teeter over at the unfamiliar shoes under you. You look down. Thigh high boots. You raise an eyebrow at Konoko who shrugs.

"They emphasize your," Konoko brings up her hand and whispers behind it, "Qualities."
"Fuck this," You sit back down, arms crossed, "You get to dress me, and I miss out on everything?"
>>
"Sorry, one of the few privileges of being the childhood friend, Miss..Is there anything else I can call you than Miko? Cause Miko sounds ridiculous to me."
"I didn't ask for the name," You mumble, setting the frappuccino to the side, "In the meantime, You and I need to talk about our future."

Konoko looks a little irritated at that, "Right, right, of course. The plot brought by little miss 'evil agents are chasing me into a slice of life.'"
"Okay, did you miss out on all the little sister stuff Anon has back there? YOU have the same name as her for some reason- if it weren't for me, you'd be the one wearing his dead sister's clothing!"

Konoko crosses her arms at that, "Maybe, maybe not. I do know you got an antagonist after me."
"Do you want to hear the plan that'll help us both or not?"

"Okay," Konoko sits on a nearby prop that could have been a person, or a shelf of shoes, "I'll hear you out. What's your plan then?"

Well, that's the question.

Obviously, in the long term you want off of Anon's chain. You have to get your power from some other part of the narrative- but right now, it's so feeble that Anon is the only focus for it. You glance around. Hell, you're sure this mall isn't ever going to show up again, it's so shitty.

You know, you know there's a way. Tip of your tongue. You shake your head. That's all long term stuff.

But first, let's just share our plan with Konoko first. Gauge her reaction before committing to the idea. If she approves, we can go ahead with getting cheer leading equipment with the aforementioned reason.

We've already made an antagonist. Let's set the wheels in motion and use him as much as we can to set up scenes. Hell, maybe he can have history with us and provide "shocking revelation" backstory details.

In the meantime, Konoko, I'm sorry but this wasn't going to be a light sports comedy slice of life to begin with. I mean, Anon has heterochromia and a scar for plot's sake. He was going to twist the story to some chosen one bullshit from the start. Let's preempt him and pick out roles in a prophecy.
>>
>>27177266
What if we made Antagonist Anon's secret twin brother? And this is Highlander? And there can only be one? And it's the Antagonist who survives?
>>
>>27177266

One idea is to have the antagonist attack Anon-kuns home. (btw, where are his parents? He shouted "we're home" when we arrived) This can be easily set up here in the mall if we "notice ourselves being followed".
>>
>>27177277
Anon was probably talking to no one, or else Konoko would've mentioned why they weren't joining us for dinner.

He's fuckin' batshit yo.
>>
>>27177250
I feel you man.
>>
>>27177266
Let's not argue with Konoko about that for now. Right now, we just need to share our plan for the sports meet.
>>
>>27177285
..Or the Antagonist is the parents. They're not home because THEY ARE PLOTTING THE DOWNFALL OF THEIR OWN CHILD... Or some such shenanigans.
>>
>>27176258
Twen, a question. Would the antagonist we brought into existence count as a non-sentient character? Was he an example of the kind of characters we can bring into existence?
>>
>>27177307
I am OK with this plan too.

Their son must die, because he is the zambie goasts.
>>
>>27177307

How about this: Anon's father, or mother, worked in the lab we're from.
>>
So how are we spinning the lab tale? I kinda want to make them less Evil Scientists and more Team Rocket
>>
>>27177285

We can create his parents. Konoko can make a mother, and we'll make the dad. It will also curb his hentai tendencies. Or at least complicate them.
>>
"You wanted to do sports, right?"
Konoko nods, "Yeah. Slice of life with sports. Kind of difficult with you though, running away from a lab."

"Yes, remind me every other breath, that will certainly help us get to where we need to be," You stand up carefully, wobbling only a little, to stand in front of a mirror, and check yourself out. Yikes. These really do display your assets. You try to ignore this fact, and go on, "Look, Anon's going to put me in to school anyway, so we can steer this back to sports pretty darn easily."

Konoko narrows her eyes at that, suspicious, "Anon will be way too interested in your lab stuff."
"Look, we don't worry about that this arc, okay? This can be the set up arc! Mysterious new stranger meets plucky pair of friends, fish out of water experience, power of friendship, yadda yadda, and every once in a while the antagonist stares at us from the roof tops all ominous like."

"That doesn't help me at all."
"Not at all? Konoko, please," You walk up to her and point, "Three words for you. Sports. Martial. Arts."

Konoko seems less than impressed.

"What."
"My schtick is to be the mysterious helper girl from the sidelines- here we need cheerleading crap, oh look at that," You rummage in the background until a box with pom poms displays itself. You show it to Konoko, "I'm the support. I dance and cheer and sing from the sidelines for the plucky team mates, and transfer my ki to them in times of need. We discover this for some kind of playoff kind of thing, we pull through and win, you make it a moral lesson, we vow never to do it again, and THEN we bring it up when the bad guys attack, so we try to juggle our up and coming sports careers with protecting the city!"

Konoko stares at you like you're explaining time cube. You roll your eyes, "Okay, Konoko, what sport do you play?"
"I, I, uh, I play soccer?"
"You're guessing, you had no idea."
"Shut up, you don't know your background either!"
"Whatever, doesn't matter. So, soccer, right?"
>>
You lean in, grab her around the neck, and wave to an imaginary stadium, "The crowd is screaming! The score is 2-2, 40 seconds on the clock, you're dribbling down the court, you've got bases loaded, and you're about to score, when suddenly- BARITORZARD attacks- but we'll keep the world alignment up, so it doesn't immediately eat the crowd, but instead challenges you to the kicker to end all kickers!"
"You don't know much about sports, do you?"
"Shush. Look, the point is, everyone's happy! You keep on being the tomboy athlete, I'll be the cheerleader support, you and Anon come up with wacky attack names, and we'll both get more than enough attention from him."

Konoko looks uncomfortably at you, as she pries herself out of your grip.

"It sounds retarded."
"It sounds like a plot where we can all win," You step away from Konoko, spread your hands, "And...In the mean time, we could try to get enough juice to ditch Anon."

That cinches it. Konoko walks away, thinking.

"...Okay. Yeah, yeah, that could work," She points at you, rather rudely, "You have to get to the sports meet though. And get Anon-kun to go too."

"Wait, won't he listen to you, you're his childhood friend? Actually, how long have you known him?"
Konoko shakes her head, "It's, it's starting to fuzz together. Hell, I'm even starting to remember Konoko- the other, Konoko, Konoko Incognito-"
"He's an American exchange student, why's his little sister-"
"I DON'T KNOW. But anyway- if I had to guess, the only events I remember with him are meeting him at the airport, coming to my old manor, playing some kind of game trying to talk to the spirits of the deceased, it not working, him and I sharing a room, and me staring at him as he slept-"
"Gross."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, worked for him though...Then, me suggesting we go eat out, and meeting- you."
"Eat at a diner, right?" You grin.
"How'd you know?"
"No reason."
"Well. I got the plan. Anything else, or we skipping to school?

>Your move.
>>
>>27177314
The antagonist was definitely an example of a character you can bring in to existence, though stronger than the current ones you create.

He is probably not sentient, barring something going dreadfully wrong.
>>
>>27177359

Let's go with supernatural sports the way Hexer suggested even if Prince of Tennis is pretty bad.
>>
>>27177349
Ask Konoko about her being stronger than Anon-kun. Since Anon-kun went and got ki powers......does that mean she'll have to get some too?
>>
>>27177439

This brings up the question of what antagonists ARE in the meta-system. Are they like waifus, dependent on the protagonist to exist?
>>
>>27177266
>I mean, Anon has heterochromia and a scar for plot's sake. He was going to twist the story to some chosen one bullshit from the start.
Yes, but let's not say that.
>>
>>27177457
The antagonist we brought into existence was just an NPC.

It's possible, however, that ANYONE can gain sentience. Who knows.
>>
Woulnd't our plan to kill anon shift the tone way into the negative zone?
>>
>>27177468

We don't have to kill him dead. We can neutralize him in other ways, like resolving his character arc or shifting world focus to another character.
>>
>>27177468
That's the plan some people have brought up. We're not unanimous in following it.

The other plan is to reduce his significance and/or to get our own spin-off.
>>
>>27177468
if we kill him we will go back to the void, and start all over again.
>>
>>27177454

She's sort of painting herself into the role of the skeptic. Maybe she can gain superpowers by being entirely nonsupernatural.
>>
>>27177486

And risk getting into an even shittier narrative. Come on, we were MC once, we can do it again.
>>
>>27177487
The problem is in being consistent.

Remember how Anon-kun bringing a little sister into the narrative seemed to mess with it a little? We need to make sure that the story is consistent.

Fairly common trope for an orphan protagonist to signify how lonely he is.
Anon-kun's parents are DEEEAAAD.
>>27177314
Can't speak for QM of course but why WOULD they be sentient when we brought them into existence? If we had that kind of power we wouldn't be forced to play this game and could just boot Anon right off the bat.

>>27177204
Yea, as previously stated we want to get to do things away from anon that don't deteriorate our position. Sports or cheerleading (yes, yes, it's a sport too, I know) would fit and not clash with Konoko's style too much.
>>
>>27177518
>Yea, as previously stated we want to get to do things away from anon that don't deteriorate our position. Sports or cheerleading (yes, yes, it's a sport too, I know) would fit and not clash with Konoko's style too much.
I wasn't saying whether or not we'd do it. I suggested it in the first place. I was just wondering if we could get the cheer leading equipment as part of the narrative, not as part of our meta-planning activities.
>>
>>27177514

We MAKE the story. If Anon introduces inconsistencies, we can fight them, and vice versa. Konoko has taken a far too passive role in this so far, maybe we should encourage her to take the reins. Constructing Anons parents with her should work well for this.
>>
>>27177518

Yeah, I thought about Lain as well. Come to think of it, the plot there is kinda similar.
>>
>>27177531
Yeah, we make the story.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

Since it was already established that Konoko is acknowledged to be stronger than Anon-kun (and it doesn't seem like this can really be brushed off as a joke, since Anon-kun let us go out with her because she's apparently strong enough to protect us), we need to keep the story consistent with these details.
>>
>>27177547
OH FUCK OH FUCK, we're part of an experiment /a/ is conducting to get to the 2D Universe.

"Nah, I think we're about done," You take the cheerleading crap under your arm, "And again, I'm sorry about the whole crap with the antagonist- but let me make it up to you."

Konoko is still thinking. Still next to you. She eventually leans forward and sighs.

"I just wanted to have a slice of life sports story."
"Yeah," You shrug, "My bad."
"You're damn right it's your bad. But," Konoko looks up, chin in her hands, "I suppose this isn't so terrible. At least I'll have someone to talk to."

You smile at that, "Friends?"
"Tentative friends," She reaches a hand over to you.

You shake on it, and feel immensely better.

>Friendship: Konoko.
>Waifu points: 0.25 + 0.20
>Konoko supplies a supplemental pool- depending on circumstances. You can call on her more often than not, but there's still a chance that she'll refuse, or worse, draw back on the same connection.
>This can be corrected.
>##//@2/7@//##
>////

You blink. Well, that was weird. Still, you let go of Konoko's hand, smile what is perhaps your first honest smile in a while. 5 more.

"So, Konoko? Anon mentioned you were stronger than him?" You start walking for the exit, and Konoko follows. If she's aware of what you know now, she doesn't express it.

"Eh? Yeah, I mean," Konoko shrugs, "He just said that. I don't know- so far I haven't really gotten a chance to demonstrate it."
"You should take advantage of that. Anon was talking about ki earlier- that could be an in. You could get the same powers as him."
Konoko snorts, "No thank you. I am not going to be the first to get my ass kicked every time somebody comes knocking. I'll focus on sports right now," Konoko stays quiet, as the landscape around you blurs, and starts graying, "I mean, I guess- I guess though, maybe I should."

"That's the spirit," You say happily, a spring in your step.

Are you talking about the 0.20 points here? Or, like.....do you mean we can call her for help in a scene she's not part of and she'll arrive?

>>27177595
Not necessarily. It could be talking about just the main characters that we'll try to pull away from anon-kun? Which is, currently, 2; Konoko and ourself. 'Course, given the nature of this quest, they may all end up being waifus too.

I'm guessing, if we manage to get out spin-off, it'll be about
>cute girls doing cute shounen-y things.

Waifu Quest is the Bakemonogatari of the Quest genre.

>>27177613
Anime/manga in general, or harem romance?
>>
>>27177563
>"I mean, I guess- I guess though, maybe I should."
Success!
We cheerleader now.

>>27177595
Might be more than 7 total. Hasn't been guaranteed that waifus need to be sentient. That might be an idea - create Anon's ideal girl with our points once we get an independant source, and keep him busy that way.

Naturally, but that's less than optimal for obvious reasons.

>how much have you watched
150 - 200 or so? Dunno, I tried making a spreadsheet once but it was a tedious task.

>and where would one start?
Watching currently airing things of various genre is the quickest way to build what /a/ calls powerlevel i.e experience with what anime is like and the ability to build taste. Give us some more information.

>>27177651
>>27177684
Well, from what has been revealed so far, even if you fade away from relevance, you can still return as a bit character.
>>
>>27177654
/a/ does NOT like people to forget the age old Lurk More. Since they're not obligated by any of the board rules to give out meaningful recommendations when posting they'll usually opt not to. You got to say though: If you can post on /a/ you can post pretty much anywhere else. It doesn't get much more vitriolic save for /v/, but why anyone would post on /v/ is another matter.

Low powerlevel pleb detected. Though I wonder if he counted the shit that he started, but dropped after a few eps. I could never name 150 anime that are worth watching from beginning to the end.

Most are only 13 or so episodes, and theres an awful lot that gets broadcast.
>>
>>27177743
Consider the scene we just passed through. Since we're not an important character yet, the details of the scene were blurry and much of the time passed us by. Only Konoko was actually aware of what happened. Time passed by for us clearly.

I suspect the sensation would be the same, except more pronounced.

so, if we're making this into magi-sports, what will the spinoff me?

Magi-sport police officers?
>>
>>27177829
We could spin-off to concentrating solely on magical sports while Anon-kun could go and pursue his own interest of fighting for JUSTICE.
>>
>>27177829
Could be a Magic focused fighter starring us, could be a comedy 4koma about all the various waifus that are bound to show up eventually.
Maybe an alt-universe kind of dealio where anon-kun never existed.
>>
>>27177829

We discover our inner power, get scouted into a team of pro magisport dudes (competitive dungeon crawling in the vein of NACL comes to mind) and tour the world.

That, or silly lab shenanigans as we reconnect with our former tormentors and learn they weren't all that bad, really.
>>
And back. Sorry about that. No more distractions.

>>27177233
Wait, crap- I missed this. Thank you!

Spur of the moment award.
+0.05 waifu points for eyebrows.

Total: 0.30 + 0.20

>>27177585
Do you want to make mysterious goon a persistent character?

In which case, 0.2 points, reducing you to 0.1 waifu points left.

In exchange though, you'd get a roving plot bomb to use. Shadowy goons can show up anywhere, after all.

>>27177616
Strictly waifu points at the moment.

Regrettably, due to Konoko being awakened, you can't just yank her about for aid. She will try to be helpful though.

>>27177702
I am really bad at twitter. In the starting an account and letting it rot sense.

I might have to learn though. So much art.

Let's save our points for now and see how the school event goes.

So, I guess you'll start writing the next scene now?

>>27177829
>Magi-sport police officers?
Magi-sport PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS.
Think sporty Hidan no Aria meets Saki vs Galactik Football and Milky Holmes and good.

And less gay since Konoko won't be on board with that shit.

More like an obsession with completing things although, say, Blood C and /a/utism Channel were too much.

>>27177725
/a/ has some people with more than a thousand watched. It's seen as polite to know the board subject matter as intimately as possible, not to mention that people tend to get into it that much after a while.

Actually, since we have her Social Link now we should be getting more detail.

Is it good enough to just live, or do you want to enjoy life? All I was saying is that we'd still exist.

Just saying, you /a/nons are okay.Bit rough round the edges but you seem way better than your reputation.

>>27177911
Lets hold off on spawning Mysterious Goon for now. Don't want our reserve of points to get too low.
>>
>>27177911
So are you writing something for us going to school or do we need to decide on something to do next?

No goon please, we've got few enough points as it is.
>>
>>27177919
>>27177959
>>27177965

Can we at least have a vague feeling that we're being watched? That shouldn't cost any points.
>>
>>27177976
It seems to be implied that the only reason we could do the things in the first thread without any cost was because we were establishing our characters.
>>
>>27177976
Could we give that to the protag? then he'd spend whatever resource he has to investigate, and we wouldn't have to.

Waifu Level 1.0 I believe is the first step.
>>
>>27178017
To act away from the protagonist. As we are now, we can only get blurry scenes. Konoko, however, was able to enjoy her time shopping at the mall.

It's the difference between watching a video on Youtube at 120p and at 1020p.
>>
>>27178025
>It's the difference between watching a video on Youtube at 120p and at 1020p.
Not quite. We fast forward through stuff as well. A better explanation would be us going into limbo when we're not near a plot point.
>>
>>27178023
>>27178025
How does she have less then 1.00 waifu points then?
>>
>>27178045
She isn't wholly independent, that's the whole fucking problem she has with us.
>>
>>27178045

I guess once you pass 1.0 you get autonomy and you can lose points after that with no loss of autonomy? But then what happens when you get to 0?
>>
>>27178045
The implication is that 1.00 points isn't enough to be completely independent. It's just the starting line for it.

"Oh- one last thing-" You halt immediately outside of the clothing store, and gaze around at the rooftops, brows furrowed.

Konoko stops, a little exasperated.
"Miko. What are you doing?"
"Shhh," You bring your arms around your shoulders and shiver, "I...Sense someone watching us."
"Wait, why are you ramping up the paranoia-"
"Foreshadowing," You hiss.

>Foreshadowing! 0.01 waifu point discount to Goon creation in future.

"...Never mind. It's gone now," You pick up your crap again, giving a final glance- yeah, you thought you saw something skulking up there.
"What? Why are you making-"
"It's good to plan ahead," You shrug, as again the environment starts to blur, in your undetailed travel back home, "Just- don't spread it around, okay? Somebody else might use this foreshadowing if we're not careful."
"Yeah, yeah, okay," Konoko shakes her head, "You're weird."
"Just proactive is all. I don't want to play second fiddle to the arch-cunt of doucheton. And neither do you."

There's a strange pause, as you glance at Konoko, and raise an eyebrow. She's looking away from you.

"No. No, I suppose I don't."

She sounds almost sad. Before you can press her though, you're back in the house. You blink. Did Konoko hurry that up? Or was it just your imagination?

"Hey!" Anon comes around the corner, beaming, "Oh?" He raises an eyebrow at your new look.

You blush, turn in on yourself, "I, well, Konoko- she, she was kind enough to...Do I look good?" You innocently ask, gritting your teeth in to a rictus smile. He looks you up and down. Swallows. Yeah, showing the assets was the smart thing.

>am i cute uguu~ bonus. 0.05 waifu points gained. Total 0.35 waifu points earned.

"...I," Anon blushes, shakes his head, "Uh, yeah, you're good looking. That is to say, looking good. Yes. You've dressed well," He coughs, then points to the box with the pompoms hanging out of it, "Wait, what's that?"

"Oh, well," Konoko comes to the rescue again,

"She's gotta fit in, right? And I remember seeing that at the sports meet tomorrow, cheer club is looking for candidates, soooo," She claps her hand on your shoulder, causing you to jump, "I talked it over with her, and I think cheer club is going to love her!"

Anon's doing his best not to smile.

"Oh, that's a good idea. Yes. Heh. Cheer uniform- did you already make sure it fits on her or-"
"Yeah, yeah we did-" That makes Konoko start. She looks a little uncomfortable, "Uh, while we're at it Anon- do you mind if we talk in private a bit?"

Anon raises an eyebrow, then looks in the box. Sure enough, he spots the school uniform. His smile fades. He looks up at Konoko with a frown, "Oh."

He nods, jerks his head to the right to signal for Konoko to follow, and without confirmation walks away. Konoko for her part sighs.

"Yeah. That's what I was afraid of. Still, probably not a BIG deal," She walks for the hall, a bit like a man going to death row, "I think I got this handled, 'Miko-chan.' See you at school."

"Hang on Kono-"

You're standing front of the school's gates. It's a fine day in spring. Cherry blossoms dance through the air in front of you, as school girls run past.

"-Ko. Son of a bitch."

Nice looking place- surprisingly, actually looked like a western school. Big brick walls, large granite looking buildings carved with images of lions, and griffins, and other supernatural beasty gargoyles. A great big clock tower in the center of it all- and a wrought iron sign, hanging over the gate spelling in English what is spelled in Japanese to the side-

"Penclosa Academy."

You frown. These time skips were getting annoying.

"Come on Miko-chan!" Konoko shouts, grabbing you by the wrist, "We're going to be late! You too, Anon-kun!" Konoko shouts past you, to Anon-Kun jogging lazily after you.

I vote that we also develop a phobia of something for no apparent goddamn reason and then later on tie it into our mysterious past. Maybe lightning (as the conduit by which divine beings enter the mortal plane)

Perhaps our hidden backstory could be that we are a goddess summoned down to earth by the mysterious cult that then did something to drain our Divine Mantle and experiment on us to grant themselves powers. Then slowly tilt the story towards us regaining our powers so we can grant him boons. And then shift even further towards supernatural politics (dropping the cult off the face of the map as unimportant), with us acting as quest-giver/patron of Anon-kun and tilting fate in his favor. By that point we can drain him of his significance in the plot while also gaining power via prayers.
>>
>>27178136
Yeah, Konoko may only have memories of playing second fiddle to the main character and getting discarded easily....which may be why she chose to be the childhood friend in a steady slice-of-life genre?
>>
Your first class is on the third floor, you're informed by a helpful form that you hadn't seen before. Outside the door to it, you, Konoko, and Anon must part ways. Anon seems very agitated, as the crowd of figures flow by.

"Don't worry too much," Konoko says with a smile, leading you up to the class, "I've gotten everything taken care of."

"Her parents are kind of a big deal," Anon helpfully contributes, "But, I'm not in your class yet. Don't worry, I'll transfer in soon enough to help you."

You mouth thank you to Konoko, as Anon strides off.

"Small favors, small favors. Remember! Sports meet, after school. On the field!"

You nod, as she walks off. Right.

You peek in to the class room. Usual classroom, people bantering- immediately whispering at the sight of you. Come on, red hair and violet eyes is god damn tame compared to Anon the wonder kid. You tamp down your frustrations, and aim for an open seat.

None of these people are awakened- or even characters. Aside from maybe the teacher. Glasses, big tits, and a too short skirt. Aside from her though, none of the other kids were worth noting. Yet.

But strangely, you sense the dark presence again.

"Excuse me?"

You blink up as the teacher looks at you, raising an eyebrow, "Uh, could you introduce yourself to the class, please?"

She smiles nervously. Something strange about this teacher. You glance across the class room- they're all silent staring at you.

Well. You're already at the front of the class. What do you do?

>>27178045
0.20 is probably how many she's willing to contribute to us.

>>27178192

>>27178204
Well, this seems like a good point to stop. Just one more action and end with something OMINOUS.

Unique characters are either sentient or people created by sentient characters to act as their personal plot points.

(and for metagaming anon-kun to think that our secret identity means that romancing us is a way to power when we remember)
>>
>>27178164
I'm not sure why we're still acting. Are we on display in some way? Could the presence be anon spying on us? That'd fucking suck.

Introduce ourselves as normally as we can, find a seat near the window so we can gaze out longingly. We might be able to spot anon in the yard or another classroom, and get some waifu points from waving at him or something.

>Could the presence be anon spying on us? That'd fucking suck.
If it is him or an ally he might know more than we'd like about our arrangements with Konoko. Can't rule it out, so let's be more careful when discussing stuff in future.

Anon isn't here
>>
>>27178164

Whisper our name. Our "real" name. Say something about how we're happy to be here, and we're transferring from abroad so we don't know much about stuff, but we're looking forward to yada yada you know the rest.

Shuffle feet awkwardly. Sit next to someone, see if they get characterized.

I still want it to be Naya.

Okay, standard introduction to the class. Mention transfer student. Bullshit some interests.

>>27178249

There are still people who didn't know this? Wow.

>>27178259
>Anon isn't here
But whatever being who watches us is.

We're following the story for the sake of it. We want to LIVE, and living in this universe seems to be acting out as characters you want to be. For now, we're forced to mold ourselves into whatever Anon-kun wants, but it seems like we have an innate desire to be characters in our own story.

Crazy theory time: This is all actually Konoko's gig. She created a new protagonist in an attempt to cheat the game, that's how she's autonomous. But it didn't quite work right, and her new story got it's own memetic viruses, namely us.

It's in her best interests to align all lost memes with her cause, so she can use our waifu points to ascend out of this humdrum hell.

Interesting theory, but Konoko has consistently shown herself to be a bit bull-headed and naive about the narrative, "behind-the-curtain" aspects of the system.

Or maybe she's just faking that. Hard to tell, but if she is, then she's a goddamn mastermind. One we are aspiring to become. On the other hand, a lot of story twists by us and Anon don't align with her interests, like the dead sister thing.

>>
>>27178387
She's autonomous, however, which means she has 1.00 waifu points, at least.
>>
If possible, we should check that photo album anon had. Just to make sure we don't look like his dead sister. Also ask Konoko how long she's been in the game.
>>
Btw guys, something to keep in mind. Anon spouted shit about being a friend of JUSTICE on his own, without being prompted or goaded by us. I bet he was always going to twist the plot into some kamen rider shonen powerlevel grind where he gets all the narrative attention. Keep that in mind so we can inform Konoko.
>>
>>27178411
Again, you guys. Either we already are his sister, or we're not.

I'm not sure what's so hard to get about this. If Anon-kun was smart enough to think of that, we'd already be his sister. Either that or he's dangerously close to coming up with that idea. As long as we don't do anything to push us into that route, we won't be his sister. Checking the photo albums? It'll force Anon-kun to come up with a look for his little sister. And that'll push us towards that route. Just leave it be.
>>
>>27178419
Uh....that's not really what I'd call "premium information".....and there's no need to do anything like that.

We can speculate with her about Anon-kun's intentions, however, so that we can prepare and/or counteract them, if needed, but trying to convince her more and more that our arrival was a good thing would be a bother.
>>
>>27178419
Current consensus appears to be let her find out rather than push it on her. We've got a fair bit of evidence, but whether she'll believe it without realizing it herself is another matter.

You glance at the teacher, then to the classroom as a whole. You give a nervous smile, stand at the front, and pluck at the hem of your skirt.

"Oh. Um, hello everyone! I'm, ah, Miko...Miko..."

Crap. You don't have a last name. People are staring at you now, raising eyebrows. Sure, you could rush off red faced and apologetic. But that'd be a total damsel move. Why didn't you have a last name! Fuck, Miko was an awful first name anyway.

"Eh. Heheh. Uhm."

Nothing for it. You blurt the first thought on your mind.

"Naya von Archimboldi!"

There is a combined in take of breath from across the class, and then whispers break out in the crowd. A foreigner! No wonder she looked so strange. Haha, you put on a weak smile. Well, at least that worked. Draws too much attention too, but nothing can done about that.

Probably because you're being watched. That dark presence seems to like lingering around you. Not in the classroom. You can't find it.

"And, ah, I'm a transfer student, from...Europe! I am very interested in cheerleading. And. Hm. Fencing," You nod, looking up at the ceiling, "Oh, and chess, chess is an interest too," Can't see it. Oh well, give up, "And that's all about me. Nothing interesting," You bow low. No silly hat to fall off your head this time.

"Thank you," Your teacher tries to sound out your name, but gives up, "Yes, ah, go sit there," She points to the back, where there's an empty desk, "Ms, uh,"
"Archimboldi," You helpfully supply, walking past her to the back.

The moment that you sit down- you feel the dark presence ping, hard, to your right.

You look. You can't believe you didn't notice this earlier. A blonde girl is drumming her long, red nails on the desk- her school uniform taking less of a page from a sailor's uniform and more from 'naughty catholic school girls barely legal.'

She's grinning at you, blue eyes sparkling with mirth.

"Oh, hello! Naya, was it?" She offers her hand, "Let's be friends! <3"

Yes. She actually pronounced '<3.'

>Is she in anon's waifu zone?
> Teachers
> WINNING ANYTHING
At most she's sapient fanservice bait.
They're probably somebody higher up the hierarchy sent to observe since teachers don't win if there's more than one other love interest. Simply does not happen due to Japan's obsession with youth. /blah.

>We should be on the lookout for potential rival waifus as well as narrative raw material we can "mine" to craft an independent existence, sidestory or an alternate protagonist.
Which brings us back to the single word that decides it all.
Clubs.
If we can get a zany cast of side characters to do things with us we'll immediately more than just a foot in the door.

>>27178405
>>having the 'ruler' of the narrative be the somewhat friendly Konoko rather than the disgusting perverted Anon
Weeeell, she seems in over her head. Not sure if I'd rather have a pervert or a god who doesn't know what to do with her powers.

>>27178419
Yea, that was brought up before. It's very likely our alteration didn't come quite as much out of the blue as we thought.
SCAR and HETEROCHROMIA, remember? He already had those.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PRONOUNCED <3

well anyway, thank you twen!! thread 3 when?
>>
>>27178463
This new girl seems incredibly sinister. She could be useful if we can redirect her intentions away from us.
>>
>>27178499
That's a good time for me. Looking forward to next time!

It's a pronounced tilde~ with a wink and a small *kira* sound.

Who knows if our ability to sense evil is because of our character setting or because of our meta awareness.

She could be a sentient being with a high number of relevance who just finished her previous character and was looking around for her next gig.....and she thought we were interesting? Just a theory.

Waifu Quest? More like Waifu Encylopedia Quest, amirite?
Keep doing what you're doing, I for one find it nice.
>>
>>27178499
I like 2300 4chan time also. I'll see you on Saturday

Twen, don't let your other quests rot in favor of this one.

Slow down before you hurt yourself, turbo.
>>
>>27178625
This seems like a chance for the plot to focus on us, actually. A separate source for points away from Anon-kun. Plot points.
>>
Almost 800 posts.
Holy shit, all of /tg/ is participating in this thread.
I had a blackout some time ago, which broke my internet. I tethered just to read this quest.
>>
>>27178655
>. A separate source for points away from Anon-kun.
True. Annd Konoko, really. Who isn't really that great of a plot generator all things considered.

>>27178652
Alright, alright, just saying she's really likely to become a nuisance. Ah well, we'll deal.
>>27178499
Thanks for running, see you soon.
>>
>>27178691
Well, if we help to up Konoko's plot relevance, I think the pool of points we can draw from her would increase as well.
>>
>>27178691
>Alright, alright, just saying she's really likely to become a nuisance. Ah well, we'll deal.
Come on. She'll make a great third member to our group.

We're the spunky one.
Konoko is the serious one.
Blondie can be the bubbly one. With a dark side.
>>
>>27178716
She said "<3" out loud. That's some serious evil right there.
>>
>>27178703
True, but first we gotta make the girl less scared. Seriously, she's almost as much of a pushover as the archetype she represents, even if she DOES have a foul tongue in private.
TL;DR: First mission of the next thread: Up Konoko's self-confidence, ten her relevance.

>>27178716
Well, now that you put it like that she certainly would fit in I guess.

>>27178737
I wouldn't pass final judgment till she shows that she's able to ✧KIRA✧ at will. Still, not trusting that chick father than I can throw her.
Which might be rather far, depending on which backstory we settle on.
>>
>>27178737
We may be able to reorient her into "crazy but useful" if we work her right. Keep the tone optimistic enough and her obvious sinister tendencies will get played for laughs.
>>
>>27178737
>>27178773
>>27178785
It's nice that we can agree that she's probably crazy.

Just goes to show how common this trope is.
>>
>>27178773
>Up Konoko's self-confidence, ten her relevance.
We got her to agree to try to become independent of Anon, which is more than she would before.
>>
>>27178806
Nobody sane is a blond foreign rich girl type who gets that friendly that quickly.

I suppose Twen could throw us for a loop and just have her be overly friendly because she's desperate for companionship from a fellow outsider Japanese people don't tend to be the most welcoming.
>>
>>27178889
There is still the issue of the audible <3. Nothing good comes from people who speak like that.
>>
>>27178903
In that case she'd be trying too hard.

Or maybe she'd just French or something and just really, really friendly/affectionate.

She's probably just nuts, I'm just saying there are other options he could go with if he wants to fuck with our expectations.
