Aoi is such a good girl

... Would you stop them?

[gamerbrain]

Nope. Maybe they're just trying to unlock a bad-end. Some stories are like that.

[housewolf]

I'd rather not see one of those.

[gamerbrain]

[ as with most things, she seems indifferent. ]

CGs are CGs.

[housewolf]

Try to be careful...?

[gamerbrain]

Got it.

Aoi is being a little more careful, because Aoi can't load old save-data.

[housewolf]

I'm happy to hear it. I don't know if I can help much with that.

[gamerbrain]

Boop boop...

That's okay. Aoi doesn't expect any help.

[housewolf]

We're all here together. We should at least try to help when we can.

[gamerbrain]

But Aoi doesn't have a goal like everyone else. Aoi just wants to collect CGs.

[housewolf]

Was that why you agreed to come?

[gamerbrain]

Yep. Aoi adapts to any story.

[housewolf]

That's... good?

[He thinks.]

[gamerbrain]

Yep. It would be no good if Aoi seemed like a character from a totally different game.

[housewolf]

It wouldn't? Sometimes that kinda genre defiance is a draw.

Do you think you're a game character?

[gamerbrain]

There's subversion of tropes and outsider-characters, like in isekai... And then there are characters that are just plain out of place in the story.

[ but as for the question... she nods. ]

Yep. Aoi is a character in a visual novel.

[housewolf]

[You know what? This might as well happen. He dreams about his characters, why wouldn't a fictional character be real in a space like this?]

And you're usually aware of it?

[gamerbrain]

[ it's nice that someone just takes it at face value instead of deciding she's crazy. wow. ]

Yep.

[housewolf]

Huh. That's an... interesting writing decision.

[Oh wait.]

Is this weird to talk about?

[gamerbrain]

A writing decision... Boop boop...

[ was it a writing decision? or is she just glitched? ]

... It's fine.

[housewolf]

[Is that a glitch on the part of the game or a deliberate part of the choice of the writer? Or maybe it's both?]

Alright. Didn't know if that was off limits or something along those lines.

[gamerbrain]

[ who can say! ]

Aoi doesn't have any limits.

[housewolf]

The "part of a video game" thing kinda... does make that make more sense.

[gamerbrain]

Yep.

[housewolf]

What's it like? The difference between being in a game and being here?
