I recently found some Omori image and they reminded me of the previous iteration of this story that had a more fantasy vibe, not like generic fantasy more along the lines of The World Ends With You.

In the comments (of AO3) I mentioned how this story was inspired by battle-based stories with "realistic combat" I.e., Baki, Kengan Ashura, and Yakuza. What I forgot to mention (out of fear for sounding even crazier...yes roll your eyes...and fall) was this was the second iteration of the story in my head.

The first iteration was as said before, more fantastical using the story of TWEWY as a base but doing my own thing from there. Pins where instead OOF's (objects of importance) using emotional energy to empower objects (physical or mental) with that energy to do amazing things, in TWEWY people are psychics in my Omori AU people are empaths given how emotions work in the actual game.

In TWEWY NEO there are special abilities like Nagi's Dive and Fret's Remind, in the AU the abilties the characters already had would cranked up to 11: Hero's charm was practically hypnotizing, Kel could make impossible trick shots, Aubrey could intimidate foes and if they were scared, she'd get stronger; Basil would Summon plants that at some point are as big as skyscrapers even from concrete, and Mari was going to have 2 abilities because even back then I had the Mary idea still there though said abilities I never got around too, and lastly Sunny was going to have his dream world become real not just to himself but to the entire world which would eventually lead to the Omori fight which we all know how that ends

There wasn't a Reapers game but there were competitions that tested these abilities with of course Sunny being one of the strongest in the world because of being the main character or the in-story reason is because of his emotional...everything and also because he is a vassal for a dark god

OH YEAH if I went with this it was going to be revealed that Sunny and Basil's Somethings were not only their trauma personified but also the embodiments of an evil Eldrich being that is Darkness itself known as The Adversary (or the sa tan in Hebrew, yes that is where Satan comes from) or The IT a reference to the Stephen King novel of the same name. IT of course has a counter part of light, but I never got that far because as awesome if a bit silly this story was, I didn't want to tell with Omori characters.

I know weird but I eventually scraped the story but I'm keeping some of the ideas for as I keep saying more original projects

Now the bad news

Given that today is when the Console version of Omori is going to be released and after that a certain rpg I've been waiting for is going to come out on the 29 th , AND lastly college is going to startup

Yeah, I'm once again going on a hiatus again which sucks since not only did, I not make some short stories like I promised, I'm practically almost done with this story cause after the part 5 outline all that's left is part 6 and the epilogue, but Life for better and for worse needs to be dealt with so this is goodbye for now

I realize it's silly of me to try and make you sad about a stupid fanfic but at the same time it's a fanfic about a story that really hit home for me and now I finally have the means to play it for myself (if you are wondering no, I don't have a gaming PC) thus seems at least to me somewhat sentimental especially as we near the end of the story. I'll still rewrite part 1 (along with 2 and maybe 3) and try to write some short stories but after awhile...

Well let's just see what happens and finally as they say

We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some Sunny day
