I like to assume it’s Nick’s user’s manual. That way, it adds to the joke just by being her choice of reading material while he’s processing the question, and creates a second joke because she presumably wrote it.
Special urtext edition, with all known variant texts of the incomplete Volume 4 presented in English and German on facing pages. With notes. Lots of notes.
Hmmm! In my experience a line like “I would like you to be the mother of my children until Death do us part!” usually serves to get the point across subtly. ^_^
And in a situation such as this sort that level of subtlety would seem to be required! ^_~
Well, unless Anasigma froze his sperm—and I’m sure they wouldn’t have bothered—that line would just remind them both that she made it impossible for him to have children. As much as I’m rooting for these two, Nick’s love for Ginny will always have a troubling whiff of Stockholm Syndrome about it.
They could always adopt, but I’m not sure how a human adoption agency would deal with “Occupation: Helicopter” on the forms. Would he even want human kids, if he’s not human?
Nonhuman children – well, we haven’t seen a Black Ops Child Services team (if memory serves) but there are a lot of baby cobras looking for a home… and that’s just the start. He’d *really* psyche out the Black Helicopter Review by wearing cobra/nanite/killer-robot/RC-helicopter “My Family” decals!
With all the mad science being flung around willy-nilly, it shouldn’t be too hard for a little to do a quick scan of his organic part and some gene sequencing. As for Stockholm syndrome. The DSM defines insanity as” a persistent disruption of thought” and what is love If not a irrational bias towards one person?
There’s sweet Doctor Lee! (I’m only your thought inside)
She’s come to see me! (I’m only your thought inside)
This cannot be real! (She’s asking you how you feel)
What do I say? (Come on, reply sometime today!)
I’m trembling from wing to wing! (Don’t make her wait ’til spring)
There’s nothing in A, B, C! (Standing there patiently)
I’m nervous and panicking! (Dickhead, say anything!)
Hey, how can you cuss, but not me? (Talk to her, you son of a *B*!)
So, who then are you? (I’m simply your inner voice)
But what do I do?? (No multiple-f***ing-choice!)
This girl is so hot … (At romance, you’re rotten!) (I’m just your thought inside!)
*Tinker. She was named after the little bells on tinker carts that they rang to let people know they were coming, kind of like an ice-cream truck jingle.
There are some very good ones. However, the majority range from ‘shitty romance novel’ to ‘monotonous grindfest’ to ‘really creepy porn’. And the english selection is significantly smaller, making the good ones rarer. So if you’re interested, do some research before investing much time or any money in a game.
I recommend Kiss of Revenge, which combines a proactive, goal-oriented protagonist with an elaborate murder revenge plot on her part that romance only manages to derail in a glorious, glorious trainwreck.
Is anyone keeping a running count of 4th-wall violations, as was done for Narbonic? I’m pondering if panel 3 counts – it’s breaking a wall inside “the” 4th wall.
Dating Sim… of COURSE…
Nick is the best otome protag.
I mean, aside from the one with the pigeons.
*who dates pigeons
I’d give her name, but honestly I can only think of her as Cloaca Mahoney now.
You’re right. Just like in every other other eroge, I can’t figure out what the girls see in him. XD
Her. Tosaka Hiyoko, the protag/ Player Character of Hatoful Boyfriend is female.
You’re right. Just like every other eroge protag, I can’t figure out what the girls see in him.
Somebody send a message to Tom Siddell to make a City Face visual novel.
I really hope she’s got a long enough book there. War and Peace, say. Or Ulysses.

yah, +1 on the Stockholm syndrome vibe.

SH Vol 4’s bonus story actually dealt with the “Black Ops Child Services”.
As if I didn’t ALREADY need to buy the books…

I know Nick’s feelings all too well. 🙁

My inner voice speaks like Tinkle Bell, pre-Fairies shows. *Tinkle. Tinkle. F—ing Tinkle*

Dating sim? These are a real thing? HAHAHA!
….are they any good? i mean im asking for a friend….

I can see Nick’s performance review already:
COMMUNICATION: 5 – Loses those arguments.
This is the most fitting Inner Voice ever, although the lack of helicopter personality sprites is disappointing.
Awww, I wanted his inner voice to be two little V22s with horns on their cockpits.
Is anyone keeping a running count of 4th-wall violations, as was done for Narbonic? I’m pondering if panel 3 counts – it’s breaking a wall inside “the” 4th wall.
It’s funny his inner voice is sencored
Reminds me of Super Paper Mario.
