ceci n'est pas un reaction post

[valentinite]

I did finish AA:I this morning, and I do have an incoherent running log of reaction bullet points, but I have not had the brain to format it. But at least I am spoiler-proof. I'll post the actual thoughts later

I've only just started the fifth case, but GODDAMNIT WHY ARE THE PRETTY ONES ALWAYS EVIL.

A friend and I were talking about how there totally needs to be a Dahlia/Viola/Alita/Calisto gangster AU like right now.

These are my utterly profound and academic thoughts so far :B

I could go for some meta about the von Karma family dynamics, though. Case 4 provides some interesting insight.

Oh, and feel better soon!

[valentinite]

Yeah, awesome screwed-up-VK-kids was perhaps my favorite thing about the entire game. Their dynamic was fantastic.

I'll say no more on Callisto for now.

[miss_prince]

Kink meme has already spoiled me about Calisto in case 5. Repeatedly. In giant letters. :|

I'll probably finish the game today, though.

[valentinite]

Ouch. I just ignored the meme between starting and finishing, but I'd already been spoiled by looking at a few spoilery sprite sheets on court-records before telling myself to stop looking.

I'm curious to see what you think once you've seen the whole thing in context, though.

I've only gotten to the "cross-examination" with Udgey at the beginning of the second portion of AAI-4, and I'm already sick of her. XD; Maybe if she didn't remind me of every single mirthlessly snarky bitch I have ever known in my entire life... >.>;;;

And agreed on the dysfunctional von Karma family. XD (I LOVED that it was even referenced, by an extra no less. XD )

(Also, feel better soon! <3 )

GODDAMNIT WHY ARE THE PRETTY ONES ALWAYS EVIL.

INORITE? Even in Trace Memory and Hotel Dusk and other games I've played not to mention the soap operas I've watched over the years, etc.... this principle seems to hold true more often than not. XD;
