My reserved Mc wants to shake onas back and forth like a rag doll (in like a loving way)

Ah, the loving throttle of frustration haha. They definitely deserve it! Also, I’m noticing a lot of reserved MCs going for Venali and I feel so bad for their soft hearts.

[peonyb]

Saw this really cute ask making the rounds at other if blogs and wanted to know how the ros would react here:

How would the ROs treat an MC who's easy to fluster, but only by them? Like if someone else flirts with MC and calls them cute or something, they just laugh and brush it off, but if it were the RO they get red, shy, and fumble over their words?

Heya. I’m getting deja-vu, but I don’t think I’ve answered this before.

Welling: Wouldn’t be able to resist tapping the MC beneath their chin playfully, feeling both amused and infinitely tender towards them.

Venali: They try not to draw attention to it for the MC’s sake. But still, it’s impossible to ignore the tug on their heart strings.

Trivelyn: They have an intimate understanding of what it means to respond in such a way. To see it mirrored towards them, because of them, would delight them in a way nothing else ever has.

Em: Takes a certain pleasure in causing reactions in others. Em would be satisfied by that, but nothing else.

Anle: Isn’t a stranger to such responses. Though unintended, they do find themselves stirring similar reactions in others for various reasons. If their forwardness elicited such a response from MC, they would be deeply pleased; their already intense gaze sharpening as they drew nearer.

I had a lot of fun with the demo! Thank you for sharing ^^

P.S. I was playing as a male MC with a female L and there is a wrong pronoun when MC lied about him being a Marked: “So it's true after all." She murmurs to himself you realize as you could barely catch it.

I’m happy you had fun with it! Thank you for letting me know about the bug as well. I accidentally put in MC’s pronouns there lol. /sigh

Once in a relationship with MC, do the ROs like to call them by a term of endearment, nickname, or just their name (but insert special tone here)?

Hmmm x10. I had to think for a moment. Also hi!

Welling: Will give the MC a shortened version of their name. Any other kind of nickname would roll of their tongue awkwardly.

Venali: Just their name, but with a deep meaningfulness.

Trivelyn: Same as Venali, though the change is not in their tone but in the way they look at the MC as they say it.

Em: They already have a nickname for the MC. Said now with impish provocation, it will later be uttered only within the quiet intimacy reserved for them alone.

Anle: Ne’re. Maybe they’ll tell the MC what it means someday.

[peonyb]

Okay so I'm just gonna stop rereading the demo at this point. Venali keeps making me want to pull my damn hair out. 😭

Ignoring the hell out of me, but as soon as someone bothers my poor mc i just know they are gonna be an ass and give mixed signals.

I've had so many playthroughs... i blame u.

Venali will never not be frustrating, I think haha. But you’re so right! Venali is frighteningly protective of those that matter most to them. Then, once it’s over, the switch flips off and they’re back to as they were as if it never happened.

(You blame me, but what if I blame you back..! Ahaa, got ‘em )

hey, on cog demos it says the game updated today, is it actually updated or is it just a bug fix? asking before i play the whole game again lol

Hahaha, it’s just a bug fix! I’ll always post here when it’s a content update. Oh no, I hope no one else is going through the whole thing because I’m bug hunting lol

[peonyb]

Hi, I stumbled across this if yesterday and wanted to drop by and say it is simply incredible!! I literally could not put it down... I'm already wanting to do another playthrough and try all the other choices!! Thank you for all your hard work, the story is amazing <3

Aw yay! Ty for your words and taking the time to message me ♡ I’m glad you’re liking it and I hope you have fun with the other choices too!

Leon places a hand on your shoulder, and after checking to make sure you’re ready, leads you out into the rain. The look on his face catches you off guard. But still, you slip your hand into his. Leon’s hand is surprisingly cool and his hold is gentle as he leads you into the rain.

I don't suppose these paragraphs should appear at the same time? I made MC make Leon hold their shoulder.

Oh, definitely not! Missing some indentation. Thank you for telling me!

[peonyb]

hi! im playing the festival goodbye scene with leon where we run into his mother and i think i found an error. where it says “true” I think it might be a variable error where the statement was supposed to be son/daughter depending on L’s gender. I copy/pasted the text below so you could see, it might just be me misunderstanding though.

“Did you leave father at the stall by himself?” he asks, and the abrupt change in topic seems to momentarily throw the woman off. Her attention swings to her true, but Leon doesn’t give her a chance to answer before he continues.

“You know he always caves to hagglers,” Leon chuckles good naturedly. Though very clearly aware of her true’s diversion attempts, she reluctantly concedes.”

Oh! Thank you for this and your other ask as well! It’s not you, I definitely changed the son/daughter variable to make it shorter and forgot to fix some of them lol. I shall get to it today.

[peonyb]

Everytime i reread the demo... it's been a few times i get so mad 🤣😭

Dion irritates me again

Onas i wanna smack or kiss

And if Em wants me to smack them too for even looking at Sade i will lose my mind.

I'm too jealous for your games dear writer. I can't deal with this trauma 😭😭😭😭

Lmaoo elegant, your hands are out and ready for everyone at this point! I personally love the chaos😇

How can I unlock the last affinity option? Or the medicine specialization when going to the academy?

Hello! The last option is unlocked by getting the “destiny” potion from the market. It unlocks all of the elemental affinities (water, fire, force and air) for you to manually choose. It can be obtained if you either (1) helped your father on the farm, didn’t give your allowance to Randall’s bully and purchased it from the trader, (2) steal it with a high enough deception/‘sneak into shows’ activity.

The medicine specialization can only be chosen by light affinities.

[peonyb]

To the anon who made the RO description request for manual selection. I’ve added it! I was distracted for a bit, but I didn’t forget about you lol

[peonyb]

Playing a reserved Mage and got hit with a brick so I’m sharing it with the folks 👍

Emelia is such a complicated person, she may have! Also, I read the message before the text and thought you meant your MC got wiped out by Venali early on lol.

[peonyb]

Hi! Not too sure what happened, but the scene of Welling noticing MC skipped altogether and went straight to “With that, the introductions come to an end”. I think it might be because, compared to V and T, there is no:

*if ((wromance>=3) and (canterberry="welling"))

and only:

*if ((canterberry="welling") and (wromance<3))

Since I have equal of more romance points with him, it didn’t play the needed scene. Then again, I’m new to coding and might have completely misread the situation.

Just for reference, I asked Venali for help with the powers and then went with Welling to the fest, hope that helps! If you need any additional info, I’ll try my best to provide it!

Hey! Welling’s variables are intended to be that way. I took a look and I think it’s because I completely forgot that Welling’s romance values go higher than the others and has to be < 5 instead of < 3. So if you had 4, then it wouldn’t show! Let me know if that didn’t fix it!

[peonyb]

Was just reading through the section where you choose your specialisation, and I believe the person was supposed to note out your dark affinity when looking through the 'foreign affairs and politics', but doesn't. I think it's because the variable is "dark" and not "darkness". I think this is the same case when walking with Welling to the training grounds as well.

Oh wow, thank you! I don’t know why I have the absolute worst time with this affinity. I’m sorry to all the dark MCs lol. It should be okay now

[peonyb]

Ah...

Not my poor mc having to fight another random ass person L doesn't even know exists.

"--L doesn't even know exists." !!! This is so funny to me lmao. I nearly choked when I saw it.

Dion just wants some of Welling's attention, same as youu ): (lol)

[peonyb]

hello, i got a bug in the scene where mc's mother is caring for your hair. i chose the "tousled locks" option but the game is saying i have coils.

Oo, thank you! Not sure how I managed to do that one. It’s fixed!
