Re: [1519] Everything to do with me

Has the Analogue forgotten her own rescue and who and what her substitute carrying it out was? Interesting. Well, Yaku certainly has this recreation under control. (Kimiko is blonde?) Maybe she changed her hair to toner color because she had it blonde that morning. Or at least it was lighter or redd...

Re: [1518] Not Happy, But Interesting

Piro didn't as much predict Lockart was going to mess up the story as he was displaying some amount of paranoia in crossed whiskers . Probably justified, but still. He was more so venting about his fears that things would go how they often do with much-loved works. They get ruined by those making th...

Re: [1518] Not Happy, But Interesting

What do each of them think about things, that even seems a mystery still to at least some extent. All the way back to such as the initially figuring out some of it in bits and pieces such as 179 180 185 259 314 and 427. Often when something has seemed true about some interaction of Miho Piro Largo i...

Re: [1518] Not Happy, But Interesting

Yeah the problem with fully explaining everything is lots of text. But a problem with stating things outright as such and such when you mean given the explanations it seems likely or the best potential at the time, or in referring to other times full explanations were given, is often there's no flow...

Re: [1518] Not Happy, But Interesting

Poor Piro, the guy will definitely be in over his head. It kind of makes you wonder if he will get stuck between 2 women fighting for his affection like Tenchi. It may still yet turn out that Piro doesn't end up with anyone (Miho, Kimiko, other) or anything (art, Sight). And that could be his desir...

Re: [1518] Not Happy, But Interesting

Seems the notion the calm response in 1517:9 signified Yaku already knew somebody else was there is a mistaken notion, as apparently there was nothing but a large delayed reaction, once she realized somebody else was present and talking to her. Which it would be easier (regardless of how phenomenall...

Re: [1516] A New Story

The many unanswered perceptional matters that don't have answers, just reader perception. Exactly so, and also yes there's rarely if ever a return to explain anything. Even when sometimes something in the past gets used later, such as the CoE pass from 113 in 1231, there is often no way to really kn...

Re: [1100, 1101] player one wins / what's wrong with j00 / blast from the past

Right, many of the same discussions and ideas back in the archives. This was more like a summary of the choices in determining who said player one wins in 1100:4. It's sort of an informed guess it is Miho saying that, yet it's the only thing that really seems to fit anyway. After the time gone by, i...

Re: [1517] Nothing Bad

EDIT: I'm amused that the fate of Miho is now in the hands of a precocious kid foxgirl and how well she writes. It is amusing, but not so certain it's factual. Yes, but up to now she has been trying to steer her existing story. Oh, but has she been? It isn't clear she is ever taking an active role,...

Re: [1517] Nothing Bad

One ever-present question is how much control or not does Miho have over this alleged power to form meaningful stories. Stories which by themselves are somewhat compelling and that get more powerful with some number of skilled creators personally shaping them with even more force and emotion. Appare...

Re: [1100, 1101] player one wins / what's wrong with j00 / blast from the past

All of that seems to be something like Miho deciding Kimiko or Piro or Sight etc needs a chance to continue? One of her most serious non-troublemaking interactions, what and why ever for. Doesn't seem any particular reason "player one wins" is there in 1100 panel 4, and with no word bubble not from ...

Re: [1516] A New Story

Regardless, I'm not quite sure that Yuki catching Miho was the first time she'd moved fast, which I think was part of what iffy was talking about? Maybe? Or maybe not. I don't think I was talking about that. Yuki is pretty clearly MG-speeding it back and forth from dinner to phone. But as to what's...

Re: [1517] Nothing Bad

Junpei is all sorts of wrapped up in the current stories. Reason enough to not want him there. More, is an adult and authority figure of sorts etc. And also, nice if mom has somebody there she knows rather than an empty room should she become conscious.

"Hmm, how can I do a good end for Miho without it seeming boring or trite." You can do eeeet! It's pretty certain he can do it. It's Yaku that I'm a bit doubtful about as to her intent and wishes and ideas of what's possible or not, versus what we think we know about the forces of idea and emotion....

Re: [1516] A New Story

Which diner are you talking about in plays to hurt? Miho or Kimiko? Miho. (At Megagamers ostensibly to confront Piro, interacts with Yuki Piro Ping Erika & otaku.) The other, between the 'diner rescue' and the CoE, with Dom Kimiko & Piro on phone. The examples of what she's doing often includes eit...

Re: [1516] A New Story

The goal and what potentially might get carried out is wonderfully confusing. Since Yaku doesn't really know Piro, does this mean he now gets written out of her story entirely? Might be about time he's not a major part of that story. Given that he has jettisoned a large part or most of the past alre...

Re: [1516] A New Story

Nice, earlier Miho might be pondering the family member having just suggested a reset might fix things, and being questioned if that's what she really wants, and it appears surprising, but of course involves being killed. And boom the potential perceived danger has vanished. Is gone, superseded by a...

Re: [1515] Reset?

Just because something is simple and fits doesn't mean it's the truth, even if nobody can tell the difference, I guess we might say. If she (herself, just Miho the person, out and about in Tokyo, intruding and interfering and interacting) is not supposed to have fans of her own, doesn't have stories...

On the premise, I think, that so far she could not evade her death one way or another, for too long...

Junpei could be kind of embarrassed, or grinning about his {whatever ninjagirl is}, or sheepish about the circumstances of bringing Yakugashi here.

Well, random family member, Junpei's sister/mother/grandmother, interloper; she seems more curious about what's going on, more interested in playing with the Analogue, gives the impression of trying to gather information she doesn't have. That could just be more illusionary noise though, and there i...

Re: [1514] "Hard to Explain"

I suspect this fluidity within the Story is part of its powers, used to enhance the effectiveness of it on different people, or as protective camo for both Miho and the Story itself. Or both. We might well suppose so, and I don't disagree, but we can really of course only guess. Plus as we know, we...
