Random trash: Trash, random, yet sometimes you find something edible.
This won't be updated at any regularity, Since I'm to lazy to write well for my other story. (honestly I have an idea of the story plotline and all but… the details are a pain.)
I decided to just let go, and just... type. Typing is relaxing. So is revisiting scenes, and penning them down, i guess.
So this will be assorted shorts, assored ideas, assorted realities.
Short 1: Respect
Keima Katsuragi was not one whom would observe class normally. While others may call him aloof, he was actually very attentive to detail. It was only when there was no need for it, did he choose to ignore reality.
Keima Katsuragi was also a person whom had an extraordinary sixth sense. Let me derail a little and tell you about a sushi chef from an old shop in Ginza. This is his words. "Ah, when walking in a fish market, the feet will naturally move towards he best fish of the day. Also, I have to get up early because the feel of the price. It changes naturally, so I have to walk a bit. Not good for business if I take forever walking, isn't it?"
Let me tell you of a different situation. A genius stockbroker said this "Let me tell you. An angel is whispering to me that 'it's this one, this ticket will definitely rise~', Haha.. haha… Ahahaha!."
An ordinary person would feel that 'this is just ridiculous' on hearing this explanation, but he did become a really wealthy man. From this pitch, one might think that he really heard an Angel whispering into his ear.
Anyway, these situations prove that be it luck, sixth sense or experience, there is an ability, no, a superpower that some people possess.
Keima is such a person. Today, today he felt the beginnings of a new game, a great gal game. A great gal game is going to appear! Still, he was the Otoshigami. A God will not be uncomposed by such a revelation. Be it good or average, he will save them all!
Aptly playing on his PFP, he paid little attention to his homeroom teacher, Nikaido Yuri as she entered. Her high heels stepped loudly in the class as she entered, waving a small disk cover in her hands. "Class, today we are going to watch this CD. Katsuragi imouto, make sure to bring Katsuragi along. Go to the media room, second floor."
The class rose in loud discussion. "A cd? Wonder what it could be?" "Ah, probably some random documentary." "This is new." "Boring, so troublesome to walk.." "Ayumi, do you think you can run and buy snacks?"
The capturing god scoffed softly to himself. This media room, if he played game, it would qualify as interruption and it will give her a reason to chastise him. Troublesome reality, he will endure it this once, but if this becomes a regular thing, he'll find a way to escape.
The lights dimmed, the projector flickered on. "I taped this documentary yesterday." Nikaido would say, her eyes examining Keima whom actually had the courtesy to meet her eyes (as he was playing the PFP behind his back. She reached over to the labtop and pressed play. Soon, the title appeared, along with the voice of narration.
THE AWAKENING OF CHRONOS
Ishigami-kun, on his way to the local school, goes to a certain place every Thursday.
A Game shop.
Ishi: "There isn't a limit to rare games at this store so, being able to buy these games at the nearby store is great!"
He immediately goes to the Gal Game Corner.
Ishi: "The gal game this time… is really interesting."
It's said right now at game shops, something unusual is happening. Games focused on girls. What is called "Gal Games" are rising in the ranks and becoming a monopoly.
And what has attracted this flow, is an internet site.
SITE: FALEN GOD!
Elsie couldn't help but exclaim out loud to herself upon looking at the screen. She was one whom couldn't keep not so secret things to herself. "Ah! That's Kami-nii sama website!"
The changing gaming industry, and the website surrounding it, "FALLEN GOD!"
[scene change: Background of a store with 'Game' at the top. The narrator, a curly haired well dressed middle aged man appeared. He wore a strange headband with the word 'Customer' on his head.']
"A game." He spoke. "Should I buy one for the kids?"
[A second copy of the middle aged man appeared, with the word 'Shop Keeper' on his head]
"Welcome."
"Excuse me, I was wondering what games are selling well?"
"How about this? Afternoon cupid 3."
"A gal game? Is this any good?"
"It is this year's top seller. Even that "Fallen God" guy, guarantees it!"
"Fallen God?"
['Customer' would approach the screen, distancing himself from the backdrop]
"Once the bubble economy has faith in Gal games, The once declining genre is now aiming to become a world market. What is happening in the Gal gaming world and this one mysterious site. The Chronos Camera will FOLLOW CLOSELY."
GAME PRODUCTION COMPANY LEVEL EYE.
A game production company in Narusawa City. Day after day, they continually have meetings about new game production.
Level eye's representative director: "Right now, sicne gal games are becoming a worldwide market, it's hard to come up with new ideas."
In the middle of a meeting, the staff frequently glance at a computer. Oh of course, Fallen god's site!
Q: What is fallen God?
Employee: "Well, it's a game success site. But it's very unique in it's way of game thought and… how do I say this? If you look at it, your life will change."
…
The homepage hasn't changed it's simple design at all since it first came up. But once you enter in… It's filled with the knowledge of every game.
Ishi: "Really, you can only say it is a godly speed and quantity. He can complete 3 games by the afternoon of the release date. We thought we could challenge Kami-sama once. So, three of us would take one game on a release date. The time it took us to finish one game, Kami-sama was able to complete ten."
Ishigami kun would glance at the computer screen in front of him, hitting f5 and shaking his head. "Love Tear's first edition? Wow! While you've listened to us, he's finished one more! An amazing speed!"
We tried to contact the guy in charge of the "Fallen God" site. But… we failed! You could say h's not interested if it's something other than game success. Just what kind of Life form is "Fallen God."
[Game production company, "LEVEL EYE" office]
The meeting is getting complicated!
Masaru: "YOU IDIOT! Like hell we can sell this game!"
Masaru-san's voice is very natural and hot.
Masaru: "Different packs, or specials, or clever catch phrases! Or game downloads to split the context into half. Or God damn terrible endings! This isn't the era to use those kinds of things! Gal games have changed! All that we need is just good heroines, just good games, That's it!"
If we get a good heroine, then we can make a good game! There was once an age where one couldn't control that! Then, the fallen god site, at that time became the critical item for this gal game crisis. The unchanging contents, every game, selling the peculiar characters and the high prices had drawn users away from them.
[Bankrupt game production chief (48 years old) The voice has been altered.]
Chief: "It's like it would be good if girls just popped out. That's how it feels like. Games without contents were originally diluted through the multi-media and sold in large quantities, that's how they thought in the bubble economy.
For the gal game, demand sank. And that is when fallen god's counter attack began!
Masaru: "We couldn't make good games anymore. That's when we were about to give up…
[Pre-produced scene of younger masaru]
Masaru: "? What…? This site… It's like a narrative!"
[The computer screen flashed, and a voice spoke out, almost heavenly in it's design]
Kami: "Are you really satisfied with those games? Are you really satisfied?"
Masaru? "An amature who doesn't know the situation. Right now there are 30,000 people in the market who have fallen for gal games! They are subdivided by your likes. It is not enough! This is the best!"
Kami: The possibilities of 2d heroines has not been reached! Let's believe in the power of 2d heroines! Believe, believe!
Employee: In the end, it's all up to the artists! If the art is good, then everything else is just…"
[the employee stopped, and he turned slowly to look at a computer screen.]
"What the…? There's an aura coming from the screen… If we don't' change the gameplay, we'll be destroyed?"
Employee 2: "The budget for foreign games sure is amazing."
Employee 3: It's already over for us.."
[the computer screen behind them turned on by itself, and the two employees would face it.]
Kami: It'll work out! For 2d Heroines, you must believe!
Masaru had tears in his eyes as he remembered: "That's right, at that time… I forgot about it. Giving the heroines… Love!"
Heroine love!
"Make more, Gal games! A game that everyone can enjoy! A game of love. Where we love!"
[The screen flashed to random news channel, with titles such as "Low budget made of love.", "Gal games victory."]
The times have changed…
At one time, selling30,000 copies was a major success, but gal games now… have now sold around the world a record of 50,000,000 copies. Even the statue of liberty was dressed with a miko outfit.
Increasing at an alarming rate, even now, the site "Fallen God" still reports on many games. Centered on the revival of the gal game… Chronos will, from now on keep watching "Fallen God!"
The video ended, credits rolling up the screen as everyone in the class starred at Katsuragi Keima. Elsie couldn't hold herself back, jumping to her feet in adoration, and stars in her eyes.
"Kami-nii sama! You're so awesome. I never knew it before."
For his part, he coughed lightly into his hand. "He overhyped it. It's nothing like that, normally. All I do is maintaining my site."
Nikaido Yuri would clap twice to obtain everyone's attention. "Well, we've now seen a success story. While Katsuragi is setting a bad example, it's just a show of how pure determination can change the world. Everyone, I hope you obtained something from this. Now go, class dismissed. Go back to your room."
"Hai!"
The next day, he was the talk of the school, but as usual, he played his PFP unhindered, uncaring about the friendly cries of "Otamega" from various other students. He felt uncomfortable, that their tone turned from sneering to a cheerful one.
Even in his classroom, a few students actually came up to him and engaged in small talk. Naturally he responded, it didn't take time away from his PFP after all. That is how he naturally is.
Elsie's declaration that her brother would make every girl fall in love with him was still scoffed, but when prompted, Keima said that it's possible, but he just doesn't bother. His amazing scores in the class was also now firmly recognized, and he had to handle the growing affections of Asami Yoshino.
Eventually, life settled back to normal, until Kanon appeared again and kissed him, growing wings in front of the class, but that's another story altogether.
Authors notes, chapter 35 people.
Ironically, this is what metacritic does. I hate metacritic though. Point scoring is pointless for games.
