Andā¦ updated! Finally!
The story is now 180,000 words long, with an average playthrough of over 55,000.
Iām afraid I donāt know whether your old saves will work any more since Iām hosting it directly on DashingDonās, without precompiling it, so sorry in advance if thatās the case. (I guess itāll give you a chance to remember who all these characters youāre supposed to be romancing areā¦)
@Revan_Alek_Shan: As of the latest update, yes, but it might not be easy. But no, @JustcallmeAlex, you canāt betray another character to do it, because thatās seriously too much work for me.
As always, please let me know if you spot any bugs, typos, or other problems. Thanks.

Damonās Journal:
Was disappointed to learn that āThe Manā died before I could interrogate him. If Iād known he only had about an hour to live I would have just killed him outright. Still, must give credit where credit is due, adversary was clever to have contingencies in case we ever captured one of their agents.
Sometimes I forget that my opponent is the devious sort. Makes the game interesting. Was not sure when I started thinking of this as a game; at first my only priority was to live a calm and normal life, and to remove the people who were interfering with that. But lately, I think Iām coming to quite enjoy this game of cat and mouse we play.
Went to Sammyās funeral. Not sure why. A deceased human body is of no consequence, all it really does it waste space. Why Iāve always hated graveyards. So much wasted land, even more wasted fertilizer. Though I suppose it was a good chance to spend time with Anara, even if she wasnāt interested in much talking afterwards.
Had a discussion with Kay. She appears to have issues with my strategies. Not sure what exactly her alternatives were; called her out on it and received vague idealistic catchphrases in return. Sheās allowed emotions to cloud her judgment; will keep a close eye on her. Likely betrayal imminent.
Made up for that the next day. Was interesting to see the town return to relative normality, though not surprising upon further thought. Human beings have a way of turning any environment into the new status quo. Was a good chance to spend time with Anara. Was good to learn what she does outside of our interactions. Will have to remember to factor in this new data gathered when considering future romantic outings together.
Other than that, uneventful.
Darkness = 60, went up by 1 by the end of last chapter.
And now, on the newest episode of Totem Force: The Rise of Sailor Ivory!
The Sparkly Unicorn Princess and self-proclaimed master of falling with style finally had her heartwarming reunion with her old friend!
It was rather heartwarming.
Afterwards, sheā¦had a rather awkward love confession from Chi that, honestly, kind of came out of nowhere. Even after the player ret-conned Ivoryās romance with Anara so that she could continue to flirt with everyone that crossed her path without a pang of conscience, it seemed rather odd to said player that this guy suddenly out of the blue decided he was in love with her.
Even if she was pretty, funny, quirky, remarkably thick in the head yet endearing, and saved his life in a corny fashionā¦actually, maybe itās not quite so unbelievable.
Anyway, caught up in the moment, she said yes, a decision that will probably come to hurt her heart strings if he has any problem with having a girlfriend who flirts with everything sentient (even though a romance with Ryu probably would have been so much more thematically appropriate).
After that scene, she had another heartwarming scene with Sam. It was heartwarming.
The next day she decided to go see what Ryu was doing before Chi stopped her and invited her to soccer, which she accepted. It was a fun scene and perfectly matched her personality, being fun and energetic, though I get the feeling that if anyone watched this TV show Chi would be pretty high on the most hated characters list. Oh well.
And in the end, we had a darkness ofā¦1?
Butā¦where?! Where did I go wrong?! This is how it all startsā¦one wrong deed turns into two, then three, then suddenly your preppy and fun cheerleader character is just like your literal sociopath! The world is doomed!
Anyway, yeah, it was a pretty good time. Nice bit of fluff and character interactions. Though my Sparkly Unicorn Princessā story is starting to get a bit difficult to manage. Iāll probably have to have her undergo some character development to match the more dramatic tone that sheās been fighting against.
ā¦Huh, when this series started, I created a character who was physically incapable of feeling compassion in order to resist against the gameās lighthearted nature. Now that the gameās natural tone is more alligned to him, Iām having to make my other character be forcefully peppy and fun in order to fight against the gameās serious tone.
Perhaps I was the one going through character development all alongā¦

@Revan_Alek_Shan: With difficulty.
@Interestedparty: Iām glad to hear Iām having a positive effect on the world. 
(And, no, the confession from Chi was totally foreshadowedā¦ 
He gave you cookies!)

Mrs. Wilberforce is by far the best character in the entire game. Iām glad you wrote that, even if odds are that only three people will ever choose that path.

I hate his attitude if you win the tournament more.
āI totally beat you.ā
āOnly because youāre pathetic.ā
āButā¦you lost in a fair fight. Wouldnāt calling me pathetic be calling yourself even more pathetic.ā
āNonsense. I am the heir.ā
āI won that title from you!ā
āNo, you are weak.ā

Nah, not quite.
But I imagined him being more the pale emo type.
Okay but this is literally what he does. I only wish there was an option to just ignore the dude rather than try talking whenever you see him, because heās not worth loving or hating.
