I don't know what's coming next, but if we're going to do multiple playthroughs, it might be better to leave the explanation for later. So I'm voting Venus and Neptune.

Not an option its jupiter's turn and shes in it to win it baby

:siren: Oooook for everybody who's played wktd already: be careful with your words. You can say "I'm voting this because it's my favorite choice and I love what happens" because I understand, but "this choice is the most NECESSARY for plot" is too close to spoilers for me, even when it's not entirely true, so chill with that please.

This is the best non-ending scene in the game and also the crucial setup for what's gonna happen next and we are going to watch it together you fuckers aren't going to take this from me.

Oh boy, this is not the type of game I'd play but the story is pretty interesting. But between the ominous music and the captains foreshadowing little campfire story I'm guessing things won't end well for at least one of 'em...

You get locked in a closet with someone for seven minutes, and you're supposed to make out.

If the makeouts are hot, you win.

[MUSIC: Greenhouse]



Jupiter and Neptune left the competition in the dust, to nobody's surprise. At midnight, choice is an illusion.



[MUSIC: God Is Already Warning Us]

^^^ I HIGHLY recommend you play this for this scene, in case you've been skipping my music/sound effect links for whatever reason.

(the soundtrack's good though you've been missing out)






♃: Oh no.



♃: Oh. I see.
♃: Or, I feel, I guess. I can't see.
♆: ...we are close.



♃: So...
♃: ...um, Neptune—
♆: Shh.
♃: No, I—
♆: Here—
♆: Ah.
♆: Oh.
♃: Wow.
♃: I—



♆: That's right. No one can prove it.
♃: No one except us.
♆: It's your word against mine.
♆: A double lock. So it never happened unless we both say it did.
♃: Neither of us is going to be that stupid, right?
♆: Of course. We both know better.
♃: I'm, um, kind of an idiot though.
♆: You liar. You're much better at keeping yourself quiet.
♆: I never would have if I knew you might be stupider than even me.
♃: Sorry.
♃: I'm just so—
♆: Some things can't be taken back. There are things worse than saying it directly, you know.
♃: Like "this feels right."
♆: And "I'm just so happy."
♆: Exactly, what are you thinking saying things like that.
♃: I'm not.
♃: I'm not saying them.
♃: They're things anyone could have said about anybody.
♃: They're just in the air.
♃: "You mean so much to me."



♃: Not that I'm saying it.
♆: ...you get it.
♆: The midwest is great. All you have to do is not say it out loud.
♆: It's like a spell. And you can be as obvious as you want about everything else.
♆: You can wait it out forever. As long as you don't say it.
♃: I hope I can.
♃: But even if I don't say it, I still feel it.
♃: Like a hand in the air.
♃: Holding tight.
♆: It's okay.
♃: Is it?
♆: I said it's okay, so it's okay. Stop talking. Stop talking forever.
♆: I'm drunk. You're drunk. Can't see anything, double lock, nothing is happening.
♆: Your hands, either way...



♃: You're right.
♃: This is nothing.
♆: Ah.
♃: And this.
♆: Oh.
♃: This too.
♆: You get it. Oh. Exactly. Just...nothing.
♆: Like that hand in the air, you might think you're feeling it, but...
♃: ...it's nothing.

Where's the fun in that?

EDIT: So I take it that Anime coughing girl Neptune is the queer one of the three but do the same stuff happen if you throw blonde Shinji and Jupiter into the closet as well?

You may have missed it somehow, but that gay makeout had two people in it. Jupiter is very much Not Straight.

I was mainly thinking that the developers went for a straight-bi-gay setup for our gang of misfits here but I'm willing to wait and see if Venus will keep on being Shinji with the serial numbers filed off.

Is it alright if I guess something? I'll take it down if it hits too close:

I'm guessing Venus is transgender, which is why Jupiter would be okay with playing 7 minutes in heaven with her. Besides Jupiter being krunk.

I swear I haven't looked ahead and if you want me to edit this out I'll do so immediately.
