Early Access 0.1624.0: Villain Storyline Extension
Added 2024-11-15 13:28:38 +0000 UTCHello, cakes!
I've had a bit of a think about what to do for this next update. As we're approaching the end of yet another year I wanted to deviate a bit from my routine of writing alternate endings for stories that are mostly already written. This time I wanted to do something folks weren't quite expecting, give you something more to look forward to heading into the new year. So I made the somewhat bold decision to explore a previously greyed-out choice that occurs near the beginning of our story, soon after Kyou uses the penlight on Nozomi while they're cleaning the classroom.
That first choice leads to most of Penlight's darker storylines, as Kyou leaves school the next day to get chased down by Hiroko and inadvertently discovers just how powerful his device really is. But what would happen if he's in less of a hurry to head home? What if he decides to stick around in the hopes of catching Nozomi without her friends to interfere? She'd have to hear him out, right?
So yes, I've written a rough outline of the following scenes of the "stick around" choice. I'm undecided over where to take things afterwards, but there's potential for a whole new set of shenanigans with this set up and I'm anxious to know what thoughts you lot have after seeing it~
In other news, the big CG from last month, on Hiroko's Gullible story path, has now been updated with finished art so if you were holding off on reading it before, now's the time!
And that about sums it up for this release. For the second half of the month I'll be continuing to work on this new story, expanding the outline and perhaps lay down some completed script for those early scenes. And with any luck I'll have the first CG made for it too. Hope you look forward to it ^^

I think this is going to blow up in Kyou's face almost immediately. Kyou gave Akiko suggestions that he's not a stalker and Hiroko was overreacting, that Nozomi enjoyed hypnosis but was a little scared by it, and that Akiko would not be scared by hypnosis and enjoy being hypnotized enough to do it again. As soon as Akiko wakes up, she's going to know Kyou hypnotized her without consent, and that Nozomi was also hypnotized without consent. She may not be scared by hypnosis, but she's going to be scared by Kyou as she knows he's worse than a stalker now. She's going to immediately seek out and compare notes with Nozomi, who is going to be terrified by Akiko's story, and there's nothing in there to say that Nozomi was overreacting. And Akiko may not be scared by hypnosis and may want to do it again, but not with Kyou. Kyou doesn't have enough of a hook in Akiko to make it work without getting her in isolation and whipping out the penlight again, and Akiko knows Kyou will try to do that and worse, why. It might work if Akiko was given a false memory that she consented and that Kyou resolved all her concerns, but Kyou doesn't understand the problem of consent so he wouldn't think to do that. You mentioned being at a loss for where to take it, so I think it'd be interesting if she brought it up in trance and Kyou hamfisted applies the false memory so she remembers consenting but not why she consented.
