[log] i'm hellbent baby
Who: Chikusa Kakimoto, and various members of his CR
What: So a bunch of teenagers and kids play some romantic visual novel games...
When: Some vague time after training
Where: Temple Li Tieguai
Notes: First of all, post order is a myth, just start out with your character playing one of the game in the top levels I've prepared below and people can react to things as they happen. Don't worry about cohesive story, just go wild with tropes. Threadjacking is fine with me, go wild. Secondly, while some characters were definitely invited (Sanada, Minako, Davesprite), if your character has CR with Chikusa or the others in any way, you're definitely welcome to jump in. Just hit me up on plurk or PM this journal, and we can BS a reason for coming... even if that reason is just party crashing. Third, feel free to make a top level for whatever if you want to do something besides playing
It is done.
Finally, at long last, Chikusa is free from the self-inflicted hell of being forced to do the whole household's chores for a week. It's been a week of pure suffering, where Hakkai hasn't let him get much relief at all, but it's finally over with. Now, at long last, he can get to all the things he actually wants and needs to do.
....But the problem, Chikusa has found, is that after a week of hard work, his brain doesn't want to get to any other kinds of hard work... even if it's hard work that he actually wants to do. His life is fucking suffering.
For a good chunk of his morning, he stares emptily up at his ceiling, wondering what he should even do... but an idea comes to him while flipping back through the BBS- his story that he's working on, to be more exact. Oh, right... He said he would look into visual novels, didn't he? And that sniper anon...
It takes a little bit to get up regardless, and then some more time to take the cupboard money so that he can go down to the Far Shore... but that's fine. That's enough time to text some people he knows while going down to the Far Shore to get the appropriate game system and games.
And thus, that's how a small group has gathered in Hakkai's living room, a bunch of games spread out on the coffee table while Chikusa finishes setting up the game system on Hakkai's shitty old television.
"So just pick whichever one you want to try, I guess... And we can figure out who plays first after."

tormentclean her captive.Bonemouth continues to press their paw down against the controller. "Then we shall make the utmost haste," he says decisively.
There's a lot of filler text to get through, it looks like, as the heroine hastily tries to figure out how she's going to take care of five different animals once she decides to keep them, talks with a classmate about the issue... Some introduction to some "where to go/what to do" gameplay mechanics... This goes on for a couple of "weeks" in the game, with plenty of bickering even then between the cats on going home, studying, or working. (All of which, it should be noted, include cute little animations of the heroine doing exactly what is chosen.) There's even a picnic scene.
But the thing they're all waiting for happens one weekend, where the heroine is playing with her new pets in her room, a blanket ends up falling on her... and it's like a reverse magic trick, because there's suddenly a bunch of cute boys scattered on her bed when she takes it off!
Pookie makes an interested noise from where she's escaped Steeltail's grip. "Regal!" It's true. They're all dressed like princes.
...And have the appropriate animal ears. You know. As should be, probably.

She might be kind of daydreaming what they'll look like as humans as well.. But nothing prepares her for the actual moment when they turn into guys. Guys with animal ears, sure, but there's a certain appeal to that! She can live with that!
But Minako does make a fatal mistake. Since for a moment complete
thirstinstinct takes over, and she completely forgets that she was going for diplomacy and keeping the peace and balancing the scales between the cats with various preferences her. Instead she just blurts out without thinking--"Oh my god, the black cat is so hot as a human!"

Chaos breaks out as Steeltail the fluffmonster lets out a triumphant cry which only gets interrupted as Bloodfang tackles into her in dismay. It's not the worst cat fight in the universe, but it is loud, with plenty of profanity so antiquated that it could be put into a museum. Pookie keeps attempting to leap in to assist her heartbroken senior, with little reward for her efforts. A couple of tries, and she's left to sprawl dramatically across the carpet, making distressed crying noises that only really annoying cats are capable of.
Bonemouth, to their credit, does none of this. Instead, the hairless cat just shoots off like a rocket, cackling madly as they make a frenzied victory lap around the temple.
The entire time, Chikusa has been lounging in a nearby armchair with his laptop balanced on his lap, his phone in one hand that he's been idly browsing, and a camera in his free hand that's been filming the entire thing. You know. Because it's been kind of funny. Now, it's outright hilarious, and he finally stirs.
"...Guess that's settled."
