I forgot how soon Maria's characterization gets turned on its side in Episode 1, I thought there was still a ways to go on the "annoying little kid!" train. Poor kid.

I do wish there was a place to chat about the game on a re-read-through, I'm sure there's a lot of build-up I'm missing. I came into the series so late, there wasn't a whole lot of discussion going on anymore. Maybe like a Discord chat or something would be possible?

That's something I do like Umineko for, how the characters react to and adapted to living under Kinzo's strict patriarchal rule. Really, all the main adult characters are well developed, in my opinion. Higurashi had a lot of focus on fired-up kids, so seeing fully realized adult characters was a big draw to me.

Maria seems pretty sure she'll see her mom and everyone else again, anyway.

MonsterEnvy posted:He's getting sued by a bigger american company. For what does not really matter too much. Appearntly he infringed on their brand or something. Anyway they just got news from their lawyer that another company that was sued under similar pretext as theirs lost their trial using more or less same arguments as they were going to use. This was also not as good as Rudolf felt that other company had a better case then them as well. McRudolf's fast food was not prepared for the American market or courts.

"I welcome you to Rokkenjima, members of the Ushiromiya family. I am serving Kinzo-sama as the Alchemy counsellor for this house, and my name is Beatrice."
"...How silly...!"
"Shut up!"
"I have been serving him as stipulated by a long-lasting contract; but this very day, that contract has been pronounced terminated by Kinzo-sama. In consequence, from this day on, please acknowledge my resignation as Alchemy counsellor for this house."
"...How foolish, what nonsense...!"
"I, I can't stand to listen to it...!"
"R, ridiculous!!"
"...I, it's been ridiculous from the very beginning..."
"That must be the main point, right? Doesn't it sound just like one of those contracts with the devil? Like, when the contract is ended, it comes back to collect interest. Is she trying to grab some retirement money for her old age or something? What a cheeky witch."
"Battler-kun, you shouldn't make fun of it now..."
"...A special clause...?"
"Wh, what is it...?!"
"...Does it really say that...?! That Father would relinquish his ring is unthinkable...!"
"I, I'm sure I had the odd feeling that something was missing from Kinzo's finger when we were playing chess..."
"We can't prove its authenticity here. We can only determine whether Father has really handed over his ring and whether this letter tells the truth by asking him directly."
"Th, that's right. It's just as Kyrie-san says..."
"...Do you really think... that Kinzo-san will tell you...? After all, that person's thoughts are sometimes impossible to predict using common sense..."
"But, this is the witch speaking, right? About how the inheritance and all of the assets would be handed over to the one who finds the gold, right? So, could this mean that Beatrice-sama is Father's legal advisor, or maybe in charge of his funds...?"
"Aniki... let's be frank. Is it possible that someone you don't know is actually handling Father's assets?!"
"So, in other words, there are some assets that you are not in control of, Krauss nii-san?"
"...It does exist. Some of Father's property that Nii-san doesn't control."

Fabulousvillain posted:I remember Maria complaining when Rosa took her letter away that "it's the invitation to the Golden Land" or whatever it's called, it begs questioning whether Maria had opened and read the letter already or if she was just assuming it's some sort of invitation. She's just repeating what Beatrice told her when she gave her the envelope. ProfessorProf posted:The witch pulled a western envelope from her pocket and gave it to Maria. However, when Maria made to open it, the witch stopped her.

"You must not. The time will soon come that you may open it, but until then, you definitely must not. Take good care of it. It will become an invitation calling you to the Golden Land."

POOL IS CLOSED posted:That's possible and likely, but at the same time, fairly tight narratives don't usually dispense mostly useless information, either. In that case, I propose that all of Jessica's classmates snuck onto the island to kill her and her family for beating them up with brass knuckles  .

If we believe in the witch, surely a miracle will happen and this page will travel to a beautiful Golden land.

The poor lady might not have been expecting Rosa to fly into a rage so suddenly: for all she knew she was going to investigate a case of neglect, it doesn't seem like Rosa beats Maria in front of anyone but family. She did try to hold Rosa in place a few times, and if Rosa had started beating Maria senseless right there I hope she would have done more.
