[ giyuu is just nodding along and has restarted the game and plodding along with the daily routine things and just... you know. generic otome mechanics up until tsuru mentions deaths.
because excuse you? all of the story seemed pretty harmless thus far, and there was nothing to indicate that she (he) needed to do any training for battle. ]
this just took a dark turn. why didn't tsuru tell him this from the beginning?? everything was so cute and now??? what is happening. giyuu has no idea what is happening he's just— ]
Yes! It is a way so that you don't lose the progress you've made. If we turn this machine off without saving, everything we did so far would be gone forever.
giyuu is going to do that very thing...he kind of wondered what this whole "save/load" business was but guess he knows now. finally. it's a good thing that they never had to worry about the power going out or anything like that?
he could question tsuru about why he didn't bring it up before but, you know, he has a date to finish?? and. hopefully not die in. ]
[ i hate this tag francy i also hate that i will play otomes with tsuru until the game ends. ]
How do we know it's a major decision?
[ says the man who has been unafraid about saving and has been blindly picking options. how far down the paths has he gone? has he given up on tideo in favor of gainusu??? ]
but clearly giyuu is going to select helping the person. talking to people is the way to get things across or something right? he has no idea but he's just testing out things that he has heard.
...and it keeps going well, unsurprisingly. as a treat, they sill order dessert and giyuu is treated to cake. ...apparently girls like cake. ]
[ it's fine either way. giyuu will just be pushed forward when he gets the slap on the back. though given tsuru's words he just kind of has to look back at him and take what he said too literally— ]
There are professionals who play games like these?

Deaths?
no subject
[ he points at the screen. ]
In one game, I took a left turn instead of a right, and the character fell down a hole and died.

Down a hole.
[ and died??? wha.... why?? ]
no subject
[ tsuru just didn't seem to think it was important to mention since giyuu was doing so well? ]
But I haven't played this one yet, so I can't say how this will go in terms of that.
no subject
I see.
[ is he mildly concerned about suddenly dying just because he took a wrong turn?? yeah. ]
What happens after you die?
[ giyuu doesn't know games. ]
no subject
[ they
they have not been saving. tsuru never explained that mechanic. ]
no subject
[ i'm crying.
they're living so dangerously. ]
no subject
[ ... ]
We should save.

-- okay, good. Whenever we make a major decision, we should do that again to be safe.

[ says the man who has been unafraid about saving and has been blindly picking options. how far down the paths has he gone? has he given up on tideo in favor of gainusu??? ]
no subject
[ if it feels like it's very serious, it's probably major. ]
But other times it's more difficult to tell, so you must always be on alert.
no subject
What happens if we save before every decision?
[ he won't but he has to ask. are there limits to how much or how little they can save? ]
no subject
[ sometimes you make a lot of decisions at once. imagine all of those saving screens. ]
no subject
Then let's hope that I don't make the wrong move.
[ aka he has shifted from wanting to save every choice to saving only when he remembers which will be...... something.
ANYWAY BACK TO THE GAME? where did he leave of... ]
no subject
washiko now must face the decision on whether or not she wants to help this poor man, or if she just wants to order dessert and call it a day.
tsuru taps his chin. ]
I see...

[ he pats giyuu on the back! it's more like a slap, but more friendly. ]

does not actually know this. he considers the question. ]
... I would not be surprised if that is the case. There are many interesting occupations these days.
no subject
he...??? ]
How would you set a value for it's worth?
[ says the man with an unlimited salary. ]
no subject
but he seems thoughtful as he considers it. ]
It would probably be based on your level of skill.
