Koromaru And Akihiko In Ferocious Competition For The Title Of Goodest Boy.

(EDIT: I forgot to mention what this entry is about! It's about Persona 3, you'll be astonished to hear.)

AKIHIKO PRACTISING TERRIBLE PICK-UP LINES ALONE IN HIS ROOM. 'Y'know, the Beef Bowl place... Hey... M-Maybe we could "meat" up there!' What a loser. I love him.

Maya, it strikes me as unwise to send the game developers the logs of your in-game conversations with a teenager about how hot your student is.

Shinjiro believes he caused someone's death and he's coping terribly with it and he is immediately much more interesting to me.

I don't think Ken is old enough to consent to fighting his way up a giant tower full of monsters while repeatedly shooting himself in the head.

Can't believe the dog turned me down when I invited him to the movies.

Wait, apparently you can take the dog to the movies, but it was on a day when I was out with Kenji? Ugh, I knew I should have turned down Kenji's invitation.

I'm going to reload my save. This will not stand.

Okay! Koromaru and I have now been to the cinema together and all is well in the world. Well, we got kicked out of the cinema, so not all is well, but I'm still extremely pleased to have made the attempt. (The dog was very upset until I promised to get him the film on DVD.)

'Have you ever thought of what you're living for?' Junpei asks, and I choose 'No' without hesitation. Kosuke has never thought about anything.

I can't work out whether Keisuke is supposed to be this unsettling. His portraits are absolutely terrifying. (Also, I was not aware that this game would include a Keisuke when I named the protagonist Kosuke. I'm glad Keisuke isn't a major character; that would be very confusing.)

It cracks me up that a question mark appears over Akihiko's head whenever Junpei starts rambling about Chidori. Akihiko just doesn't understand romance! It doesn't cross his radar at all! It's delightful.

For anyone following along without playing: yes, I did open this entry talking about him practising pick-up lines. This was solely because he was challenged to a 'picking people up' contest and he's really competitive; it would never occur to him to try to pick someone up otherwise.

(He failed to pick anyone up, but I'd sort of love to see what would have happened if he'd succeeded and was left going 'wait, what happens now? what are you supposed to do when you flirt with someone and they reciprocate? do you... do you train together? do you challenge them to a boxing match?')
