Q: Surely if we get a bad end, or one of those endings where nothing gets resolved, we'll go back and try again, right?

I vote for making a joke.

It depends on how sick I am of doing this.

I believe that barring a concerted effort to court a specific person, or a long series of disastrous choices, there's a "Normal" ending that we're almost certainly going to get. But yes, if the ending we end up with is wholly unsatisfying, I'd be more likely to be amenable to a second playthrough, or just plain backing up. We'll just see how it goes.

Anyway, we decide not to flirt with Miki. As someone pointed out, that's probably better for our long-term health anyway. We can't avoid staircases forever.

D-ko:
Alright, if I make a little joke,
it should break the ice.
Kimi, Mikkii?
(Translator's Note: "You're Mickey?" A play on Miki's name.)

Miki:
Huh?

D-ko:
Mikimikimikki, kimimikkii!
Read from the bottom, too, "kimi Miki!"
(Translator's Note: Just playing around with the sounds, basically.)
Man, (something) has gotten really warm lately, hasn't it?
(Translator's Note: Some pun on Miki's name that I can't parse by myself.)

Miki:
[slightly freaked out] So, uh, please enjoy yourselves!
I've got to go see to the arrangement of the food, and direct the music...

(he leaves)

Utena:
I guess I shouldn't have come after all.
All in all, balls just don't suit me...

D-ko:
Then why did you come?

Utena:
Well, I thought it would be kinda rude to refuse, and...

D-ko:
And?

Utena:
Nothing.

Anthy:
You thought it would be hard for someone to come alone, right?

D-ko:
Th... then you came to keep me company?

Utena:
H... hey, since we came all the way here, let's go pinch some food.
Himemiya, come check it out!

D-ko:
Utena's so kind...!



Touga:
Oh, good, you came.

D-ko:
Woah, he's hot!
He's wearing a uniform like Miki's...
I guess he's in the Student Council, too?
Anyway, Utena, this guy...
why is Ohtori filled entirely with beautiful people?

Utena:
What do you want?

Touga:
What kind of a greeting is "what do you want"?
Your knight has come to ask you for a dance.

Utena:
I guess you're free to ask.

Touga:
Well, well.
And who's this, then?

Utena:
Oh, I'm not going to introduce you to her.
If I introduced her to a playboy like you,
who knows what would happen.

Touga:
Hey, now. I'm the one who sent you an invitation, you know.
(Does that not count for anything?)
Or are you jealous?

Utena:
W... who's jealous?

Touga:
I'm Kiryuu Touga.
I'm the president of the Student Council.
If you have any problems, by all means come to me with them.
Cute girls like yourself are particularly welcome.

D-ko:
He called me cute...!
...I guess that stuff about him being a playboy is probably true.

CHOICE:
Thank him
Refuse the compliment

I have a feeling we're in the middle of a series of choices that will amount to "Flirt with this person? Yes/No." Anthy probably took the bed out of our room because she doesn't expect us to use it.

True, this is no School Days, there won't be a nice boat ending (like in the anime)~~ 

And since it's not School Days, at least we don't have to worry about Touga staying home from embarrassment because of an embarrassing H-scene.

But just to make sure that Touga doesn't get any girls pregnant, refuse the compliment. While we're add it, hide any knives from the female characters and put fences at the top of tall buildings so they can't jump off head first.

Hiding knives? We're in Ohtori, people carry swords, and Anthy walks around with plenty of them jammed through her body. But I guess the most likely person to end up cutting people down has green hair.

=================================================================

So our little D-ko has no trouble determining Touga's sex? Anyhow, Let's go for Refuse the Compliments, guess this will impress Utena.

Wow, just reading this makes me feel flattered by Touga's attention.

I vote for flirt, hoping there's a slut route.

Oh I also vote for true ending. prtyplz.

Also, wow Razara did you play the school days the game?

Only a small demo has come out for the eng translation.

Huh.  You know, based on the canon between Touga and Utena, it's not clear whether we're more likely to get cred with Touga by flirting with him or by rebuffing him.  But I know which way is more likely to get cred with Utena, who I'm more interested in.  Take your pony carousel and shove it up your ass.

Gosh, somehow I keep on forgetting in this story that we're not Utena.

Hey, fuck you Utena, I can meet and flirt with whoever the fuck I want.

(I'd say flirt just because I'm not her damned rose bride.)


[edit:] You know... I bet he'd like you MORE if you refused. "A pony carousel? Up MY ass? Aww, its a chibi utena~"

My twin sister has played through all the routes, and she translated parts of it for me. If we could get it working on our computers, she could probably do the same thing with the SKU visual novel, but not as well as School Days. The animation makes it much easier to understand what's going on than a regular visual novel.

If Saionji's real name turns out to be Sekai, then all the more reason to keep sharp objects away from him.

Vote to refuse for the same reason.

Don't flirt. Don't be like all the other mindless drone-girls.

....also, the anime of School Days should not be finished at 2 a.m. Just....don't.
I didn't know! No one told me!

Honestly, if I were (able to be) playing this on my own, I'd probably have picked the first option without a second thought. It's just a far more natural response, if I wasn't expecting it to shift the story a certain way. But, thinking about it; Touga's far more likely to get intrigued by someone who rebuffs him than someone who acts normally. And as this is Ohtori, acting normally is the last thing you want to do. So, even though one vote right now won't change anything, I agree that D-ko should refuse the compliment.

I think most of us have been waiting for the right moment.

Yeah, way to jump the gun!

I'm so glad I came back to the forums. This is the best thing ever.

Anyway I vote: show him your tits! *cough* Er, I mean distract him some other way. Maybe not so indecently (hey, a girl can hope), but our girl is savvy enough to do something more creative than just confronting, right? Especially when there's a monkey and a banana involved.
