oh goodness I forgot all about that old guide!!!
Ugh so I woke up at midday (5 hours ago) and got on and read the new gift message and loved it and I couldn't wait to find those old plot things and translate it And my brother turned on the computer and it is massively broken So broken I really want to translate it myself so I'll just have to wait til I get to a computer that works. :) The suspense! On the plus side, the images are beautiful! /hides and does jigsaw puzzles instead
I translated the handwritten note just to see if it held anymore clues, but unfortunately it's just "Centropolis Psychotrauma Center" rewritten in Saheric. And then I googled the phone number just out of curiosity, and it's actually the inquiry number for renting an apartment in Hokkaido, Japan, so I would not reccomend anyone calling that. lmao >D<
Thank you for the second part anon you've really got me involved in how this progresses! <3 <3 If you're reading this I hope you are having a day full of summer-soft feels.
Thank you for the translation ;w;
They/ThemYay, I finally got it done! c: That was fun. I enjoyed having the different handwriting styles to work with! Got the same answer as , so that's good. xD Can't wait to see what happens next!
Thank you for the third part! Anon I really want to hug the mystery character (and you ;A; ) Instead I'm inches away from glomping my computer like it was a plushie. o-o;; Wishing you gentle dreams, untroubled by reality or phantoms of memory <3
They/ThemJust read part three... and I fully admit I gasped a little when I got to the final picture.
Got part 3... I love the multiple choice answer thing... and omg a cliffhanger!
While waiting for your soup to cool down a bit, you call the number on the note. After a few rings, someone picks up.
"Hello, Go-Getter Apartment Rentals. How may I help you?"
You pause for a moment, wondering if you dialed the correct number.
"… May I know who referred you to our service?"
1A) Click here to answer "Wayne"
Right. You take notice of the "referred by" line on the note.
"Wayne," you answer.
1B) Click here to answer "Referred?"
You're not sure what this guy is going on about regarding a referral. What is this, some marketing scheme?
"Referred?" you ask.
"I don't think you have any business calling us, then." The person on the other line hangs up.
You're determined to find out what's up with that note. Why would "Psychotrauma Center" be written on it if the number is owned by a business? You re-read the note, notice "referred by: Wayne" written on it, and call the number again.
"Hello, Go-Getter Apartment Rentals. How may I help you?"
"Wayne referred me to your service."
2) Click here after 1A) or 1B)
"Are you in a safe place right now?"
"Yes." You don't see why a soup kitchen would be dangerous - it's just noisy with karaoke music blaring from a nearby building.
"That's good. Glad you called. I'm Wayne from the Centropolis Psychotrauma Center. What is your concern?"
3A)Tell the person on the line about the person you saw on the bridge
"I found a note with this number. It was in a book dropped by someone I saw in some bridge here in the Lower West Side. She was crying."
"Oh... so you aren't her..." Wayne seems rather disappointed, from the tone of his voice. "What did she look like?"
3B) Ask the person on the line why doesn't immediately say that the line belongs to the psychotrauma center
"Why do you have to say that the line is for apartment rentals?"
"Some of our patients are unsafe when they call us, so I usually introduce myself as someone innocuous unless the caller tells me they're safe." Wayne's voice is rather calming. Perhaps he's a therapist? "Did you forget about our briefing?"
"You never briefed me," you state.
"Ah, you prank callers are getting smarter. Or you're even more bored as the weeks go by."
"But I'm not a prank caller!"
"I suppose. You do know my name." Wayne heaves a sigh. "Just hurry and tell me what you need, please? My shift is almost over."
((Please read "3C) Say that you need help." next!))
3C) Say that you need help.
"I need help."
"Okay. I need you to calm down first. Are you alright?"
"Yes. I found a note with this number in someone's book." You're not in immediate danger, after all. Perhaps the psychotrauma center knows something about the person you saw earlier.
"That explains it. We give out our number to people who we think might need our help. That book might belong to one of our patients."
"It was dropped by someone I saw in some bridge here in the Lower West Side. She was crying."
"Oh... so you aren't her..." Wayne seems rather disappointed, from the tone of his voice. "What did she look like?"
4) Click here after 3A) or 3C)
"I don't remember that well. She had short hair and her clothes had a few specks of blood."
"That's her! I gave her a note and expected a call whenever she felt better. She looked like she had just witnessed a crime."
5) Ask if the book might belong to that person
"Do you think the book is hers?
"That's the book about the Four Loves, right?" Wayne paused for a moment. "I did see something written on the back in Saheric. I did not get to look for it for a long time, but I recognise the name 'Grace Vaya'. He's a doctor from The Sacred Lands."
"I just want to return the book to its owner," you say.
"You can just leave the book here. I'll make sure it gets back to Dr. Vaya. If you're still near the Lower West Side, just go inside a building with a "Go-Getter Apartment Rentals" sign in one of its windows."
You thank Wayne, and hang up. Your finish your food, which had gone cold from the time you spent on the phone. You leave the soup kitchen, book in hand. Carefully looking at the buildings on both sides of the road for the sign, you suddenly pause in front of another alleyway.
Wow! A cyoa! So clever and can't wait for the next part
