[LP CYOA] Spiral

[Rex Feral]

Sakimura and Maeda, I could dig a connection, but Uehara and Maeda? No way.

I'd rather put Sakaki with Uehara since they both have a paranormal background.

Also come to think of it I wouldn't pair people we know about together. Take for example Sakimura and Uehara. The only thing we will see in Sakimura POV is how he likes Uehara and the sort. I'd rather try a more interesting combination in hopes to find out something more.

The Sakimura - Maeda link, Nevill has found, is the kind of example I'm talking about. Also Amanozaki - Maeda? Might go.

If we'd go Sakimura - Maeda - Amanozaki then the next one would be Uehara - Sakaki - Sawada.

To recap I see two dangers in coupling them:

1) To find out something we already knew, in case we put together two people we already know about.

2) To not find anything specific, or at all, if we put together two people who can't be related by too much.

 

[Nevill]

The only thing we will see in Sakimura POV is how he likes Uehara and the sort.

I doubt he is all he seems.

We have put a nurse and a doc together and found out about a murder. Who knows what another of the pairs would offer?

We also do not know why Sakimura is attracted to Uehara. Is it just high-school love, or is there more to it?

Personally, I regret not pairing Taketatsu and Maeda. Yes, they were together most of the time - and that's why we could have learned more by grouping them. Find out what they were talking about prior to the ordeal, or something. Sure beats what we found out about Take-chan so far, which is 'nothing'.

I'd rather put Sakaki with Uehara since they both have a paranormal background.

One was born into it and was excommunicated by her clan. The other is a researcher, an outsider. I see no reason for them to interact after Tendou clan expelled Uehara's mother. She probably would not want to talk about anything spiritual as she detests her former family name.

The ties between Sakaki and Tendou family might go deeper, but as we have seen, this puzzle only reveals immediate connections on the day of the disaster or a day prior.

The Sakimura - Maeda link, Nevill has found, is the kind of example I'm talking about. Also Amanozaki - Maeda? Might go.

The link between Amanozaki/Sakaki is much more obvious. Remember how she called him 'sensei'? Remember how she reacted to Hidetaka? Yet she didn't jump with glee at Sakaki's introduction. That suggests to me that they already met that day.

 

[Kz3r0]

Well the possibilities are:
Uehara-Sakimura, known couple with Maeda, based on how Sakimura addressed Maeda there's the possibility that she is from the same school as them.

Sakaki-Amazonaki related through interest in the works of the journalist Hidetaka Matsui, here we can go full occultists and add Uehara.
However if the suppositions about Kaiano, Seiji and Sawada being part of the same 'organization' are not baseless Amazonaki mentioning an 'organization' in two distinct occurencies can hint to her possible involvement with said 'organization'.

All in all:
Safe combinations, sorta:

Uehara-Sakimura-Maeda
Sakaki-Amazonaki-Sawada

Risky combinations

Sakaki-Amazonaki-Uehara
Sakimura-Maeda-Sawada

 

[Nevill]

Uehara-Sakimura, known couple with Maeda, based on how Sakimura addressed Maeda there's the possibility that she is from the same school as them.

She is also about 8 years older than him, so don't get your hopes up.

Good catch, more reason to pair them together.

II. Uehara Shizuka
III. Sakaki Okitsu
V. Sawada Junichi
VI. Amanozaki Touko

Torn between II/III/VI and II/V/VI

The earlier combination because since as Nevill said, the linking between Amanozaki + Sakaki may help in pulling out info.

The latter combination because the 2 people with Spiritual Powers/Background + Sawada is a recipe for much infodump goodness. After 147 pages, not having a good grasp on what actually happened is quite the irritant.

 

[Nevill]

Keep in mind that Uehara hates everything spiritual (since her clan betrayed them) and tries to actively avoid Amanozaki most of the time. I think she should not be in the same bracket as Sakaki/Amanozaki. I can hardly imagine her approaching them for reasons that would concern supernatural matters.

That's par the course for mysteries, I am afraid.

 

[Akkudakku]

Well then changing to Uehara Sakimura Maeda

 

[Akkudakku]

Amanozaki talking about an 'organization' is probably from her dobious sources on how to be a dobious psychic

Could be, it was I thought at first, we'll see.

I will laugh my ass off if Amanozaki's real family name turns out to be Uehara and Touko is actually Shizuka's stepsister.

I will laugh even harder if it is Iwano. Mitsuki seems to be quite affectionate with the psychic for no apparent reason.

 

[Baltika9]

Is it baseless speculation time?
I will laugh if Shinoseki isn't actually a real person, but a construct of the system whose purpose is to fix all the glitches from having the equivalent of Windows 98 trying to run Windows 8.

Sure. I can arrange for that.

 

[Baltika9]

That sounded about as ominous as one of DU's 'K's.

That can be done. Shinoseki is now the Abyss.

Well, I will laugh harder than the both of them of them if this ends in harem.
