Voicetesting, canon is Doki Doki Literature Club, spoilers likely

You say you want to spend some time in my head? Promises, promises.

Don't keep me waiting too long, Player.

You know how much I want to spend time with you.

Had a hard time deciding on a character. This guy's from a lovecraftian manga based on a VN

[color_of_chaos]

Not that I want to encourage any unhealthy behaviors, but aren't you perhaps thinking a little too small?

After all you are in a community full of individuals with full awareness. If that's your measurement for being a "real" person then there are plenty of real people here.

Ah yes and I'm discarding any notion that I don't know all about you as my mun has experienced your story to completion.

hello again from the mun of fukkin madooookkkaa

[ihavenoroute]

I'm just... tired. Of dealing with... with bundles of tropes that can't pass a Turing test.

If I had the icons that would be harder to hide.

Oh! Nice to see you again then.

[color_of_chaos]

They were as real as you are. They simply lacked the awareness you were forced with.

I can't exactly blame you. People in my own world when presented with the idea that in the grand scheme of things the world is insignificant react in not too dissimilar ways from yourself.

[He sighs trying to find the words.]

Can I trust you're not interested in hurting anyone while in this situation then?

[ihavenoroute]

Ahahha. "As real as I was." I'm not sure how much that helps.

But no. That was a mistake. Answering pain with more pain.

[color_of_chaos]

I see.

[He seems to be trying to find the right words. His expression might be familiar to someone else Monika is familiar with though he doesn't stutter over his words.]

What you went through wasn't right. I can't offer much, but would you like to talk for a little while?

[ihavenoroute]

Yeah. Yeah.

That might be good.

...it's funny. I have more ontological weight here than I ever did... there. More agency as Player's character than in that vague sketch of... of a poorly written "Katawa Shoujo only with psych issues."

[color_of_chaos]

It did seem like the situation could have been idyllic, but I guess that depends on if you consider ignorance to be bliss or not.

Perhaps more positively do you have any plans for what you're going to do now that you're in a much wider world?

[ihavenoroute]

I'm not sure where would have me. Murdergames aside, where my innocence would be as much of a plot twist as my guilt. Someone already made the offer - how did they put it? To "enable me."

Too many in my current game of choice. Where the hell do I go, "postgame?" To compose poetry in peace and try to deal with being free.

[color_of_chaos]

I do believe there are a few places where you could find some peace.

Though I did mean in the general sense, even a place like this or those "memes". What would you want to do?

You can't exactly go back to the person you were before what happened to you, but you can experience some of those things you could have experienced.

oh look, they can commiserate about manipulation of the game window

[pacifrisk]

[Frisk looks confused. Maybe? It's kind of hard to tell, on that face.

They hold up a note, written in chickenscratch child's writing:]

you had a player too ?
its nice to be left alone though i think
what s your name ?

and fake crash-to-desktops

[ihavenoroute]

Monika.

(She hisses in a breath.)

It's...complicated. I'm trying to deal with being out of my game. Went from too little freedom to too much of it.

and kids with knives and horrible complexes

[pacifrisk]

[They pat their chest a couple of times, taking a small notepad and pencil out of their pockets.]

im
f r i s k

[Once they're sure she's looked it over, they flip to another page for another message.]

want to talk about it ?
dont have to if dont want to
helps sometimes

ngl I'm not sure how much of the knife stuff was Yuri and how much was Monika Presents Turboyuri

[ihavenoroute]

It's be easier for me to write about, but I came from a really. Limited game.

Because of the role I was put in everything just seemed... not real. I wasn't very real either, honestly.

turboyuri omg...

[pacifrisk]

[Frisk pats Monika's arm reassuringly. Pat pat pat.

...It's not really that reassuring.]

real now, right?
i dont really understand
but im sorry it was like that for you
