on plans...

[undeveloped]

Hey, Mun-chi...

I've... I've seen it! You've been lookin' at that place.

I'm telling you it's no good, right?! I've had a premonition! All that waits for me...is a slow fate starving to death while I'm surrounded by ghosts and creatures who've crawled up from the very pits of the underworld!

If that's not going to convince you, then here! Hold this crystal ball! Soon as you do, you'll understand how bad your idea is...

[...]

Eh?

I wasn't tryin' to curse you or anything to get out of it. Come on, just hold it.

[But... nope. It seems this, his fortieth-odd attempt of weaseling out of it has been largely unsuccessful. It's enough to make a guy heave a big put-upon sigh.]

Anyway, don't put my crystal ball in the same category as all of those occult things, it's more sophisticated than that.

As...surprising as this may be, that premonition of yours isn't too far off from what Haven really is like.

[undeveloped]

That's 'cause I have a 20% success rating, y'know?

[gambliar]

Which...is just a sugarcoated way of saying you have an 80% failure rating.

1/2

[undeveloped]

Don't twist it around like that...

[Hagakure it's not twisting it around at all]

[undeveloped]

The other 80% is just more up for interpretation!

[gambliar]

I supposed that's fair. Though if it's all the same to you I will continue to interpret it as failure.

[...ouch.]

Regardless, is your player currently looking at any other games?

[undeveloped]

[Yeah well

you

you're wrong so there]

No way, she's super fixated on this horror one. It's super disturbing, 'right?

[gambliar]

[Sick burn, yo.]

Disturbing might not be the proper term. I'd say sadistic fits better. Not that sadism is a rare trait among players.

[undeveloped]

Forget regular S, these people're full-on do-S's!

It's like that for you too, right?! I'm not the only one suffering?

[gambliar]

Well, I wouldn't say I have it as bad as you. However, I have been subject to more than a few...unwanted developments.

[One of which involved her becoming a dude for a little while.]

Needless to say I'd rather not go into the details.

[undeveloped]

You already know about my suffering, so you should tell me yours!

[JUST LIKE THAT.]

[aquatically]

Did you really think that was going to work?

[Seriously, Hagakure. It's a little on the sad side to watch. Buuuuut.]

The truth is, there might be no real help for it. Once they make up their minds, that's that.

[Not that she hasn't tried the talking out of it thing. Just...]

Or at the very least, have you tried bribery yet?

1/2

[undeveloped]

Asahina-chi! Do you think I'm the kind of guy to resort to bribery?!

[That is to say he doesn't want to give things away for free...]

[undeveloped]

Wait, I bet if I give her a 10% discount on one of my readings she'd change her mind for sure...

[Hagakure that's still 90000 yen try again]

[aquatically]

Aah... it's not very good bribery if it's something no one wants. You might have to try harder.

[Seriously those prices...]

[undeveloped]

[WHOA WHOA HOLD UP]

My services are in high demand, you know, this is a once-in-a-lifetime deal!

[aquatically]

Paaaass. If it were me anyway. Maybe your mun has different tastes!

I still think you could do better. Maybe bake her cookies.

[undeveloped]

I'm surprised you didn't say donuts...

But I'm a fortune-teller, not a baker.

[aquatically]

I don't think someone like you could be trusted with the art of donut-making!

[ART. ART OF DONUT MAKING.]

I guess that's true. But maybe you could predict where to find a recipe.

[undeveloped]

No, I don't think it's an art...

[But he says it weakly because who could anticipate Asahina's wrath where it comes to donuts.]

I can't use them for such a mundane thing, 'right? My predictions are big and life-changing and serious!

[aquatically]

Of course it's an art!

[All the wrath!!]

How come I've never seen you predict anything then? We've had some pretty big life-changing stuff happening lately.

[undeveloped]

I've predicted things! It was me who said we'd have no more murders back then, 'right?!?

[He's not reaching it's just truth!!]

[aquatically]

But we still had trials, even then. And the mastermind was executed, but I guess that wasn't really murder...

[Damn she might have to give this one to him. That hurts.]

[undeveloped]

Ahaha, you see now, right, Asahina-chi? You can't underestimate my premonitions!

[aquatically]

In that case, it probably means you're really pretty screwed about going to that game, huh? Since you had a premonition about that too.

[A serious little nod.] Yeah, probably really big trouble.
