intro + prologue "The Academy of Ghouls"

Chapter 1: Girl Goes Missing Without A Trace

[game opens on a picture of a white lily falling with a black glove reaching out to it. the lily lands in a pool of blood on a black and white checkered floor. the blood is still dripping as a body in a black suit with a black glove falls behind it. a mesmer match is lit.]

"When the world is collapsing around you…

Whose hand will you take?"

[the mesmer match goes out. this is where you choose a ghoul. for all intro voicelines, please see this video. after the choice, back to the comic panels. the panels and images are included in the aforementioned intro video, these are the text lines.]

"Since ancient times, humans have gathered around fires, fearing the fall of an eternal night. 

Yet they cannot help but peer into the shadows that hide in old places and pool in empty streets.

Foolishly, they yearn for it--

For the unknown world that lies beyond the edge of darkness."

[this is where the intro lines for the ghouls go. on a black screen, white text appears after the jump]

"Please, someone tell me…

Where did we go wrong?"

[the scene changes to the interior of a train at night.]

Narrator: Tokyo nights are loud and bright.

Narrator: The low hum of the train and scattered clatter of other passengers buzzed in my ears. I turned up my headphones.

You: …

You: (Maybe I should take this song off my playlist for a while…)

Narrator: I used to love everything about it--the melody, the lyrics, the vocals…

Narrator: But that day, it was just making my heart sink even further.

You: (The final concert was amazing. I knew it would be.)

You: (I thought I'd accepted it was over.)

You: But I can't help feeling like their time was cut short…)

Narrator: I stared ot the window at the Rainbow Bridge.

Narrator: Tokyo Tower loomed in the distance, proudly bathing the night sky in brilliant red.

You: If I'd known it was going to end like this, I wouldn't have fallen for them in the first place…

Narrator: The words slipped out before I could stop them.

Narrator: I glanced around furtively. A few other passengers were shooting me strange looks.

You: (I must be tired.)

You: …

You: (Who's texting me…?)

[the scene changes to a phone screen. several different text boxes appear. it starts with 13 people in the group.]

SickleMoon: Of course their last concert was amazing…I think I left my heart in the stands.

SickleMoon: It's been an awesome ride guys. Thanks for all the memories.

SickleMoon: Sadly we won't have anything new to chat about anymore, so I'm gonna leave the group

SickleMoon: Maybe our paths will cross again sometime. Bye for now!

[character choice options

Just the two of us now

Who are you?

I'm going to leave too

until I manage to play through the intro again, I picked the first option]

You: I guess it's just the two of us now

Mina: I'm glad I'm not alone

Mina: Do you go to a lot of events like this?

[character choice options

Yes

Almost never

Sometimes

i picked option 3]

Mina: Are you still on your way home? 

[character choice box: Yes]

Mina: Me too

Mina: The city lights are really beautiful tonight. Can you see them?

[character choice box: I was looking at Tokyo Tower]

Mina: Really? Me too!

Mina: Are you crossing the Rainbow Bridge right now?

[character choice box: I am]

You: I am! How did you know?

Mina: Because I am too! We might be on the same train

Mina: The last two in the chat riding the same train

Mina: It must be fate

Mina: Can I come talk to you face to face?

[character choice box:

Sure!

I don't know…

i picked number 2]

Mina: Why not? I've always wanted to meet you

Mina: That's why I'm here

[the scene changes to an all black screen]

Announcement: We will soon stop at Kisaragi Station…

You: Kisaragi…? That's not my stop…

[the scene changes to the train, but in red lighting, with a forest and a full moon outside]

Narrator: I looked up, and froze.

Narrator: The world had somehow turned the color of burnt steel.

You: What…?

for now it's going to be a new chapter every monday and then when i get more in the queue i'll increase it to 2-3 a week depending. but it's taking me about 20 mins per episode to type out so kind of a limited window of free time i'm working with lol

currently have through chapter three of the prologue done

[tokyodescriber]

i'll make a real faq/master post someday

chimi • they/them • main is @timeslipcamp

find a brief explanation here

whenever i make the masterpost the link will go here

for now new chapters will be posted every monday at 8am EST

feel free to send questions but i'm more likely to answer on my main

how these posts work

i am not a professional transcriptionist, this account is mainly for my ease of use finding lines in episodes for my own use. i am not affiliated with tokyo debunker or zigzagames in any way. i am not profiting off of this in any way. i'm archiving.

episodes will mainly be written in the following form:

haku: hello i am here to flirt with you

mc: oh this makes me flustered

[comic panels show haku looking at mc, a hand on his hip. there are flowers blowing through the air around him.]

so basically character, spoken line in the little box, and if a comic sequence pops up, i'll describe it in basic terms. i am trying to get this done efficiently so it'll probably be really basic descriptions at first and then i'll go back and add more detail later. if you're looking for full analyses of comic panels and the things they contain, hit me up on @timeslipcamp lol i'm happy to do that there! this is unbiased and just recording what the chapters say

if i have the time, i'll try and include all dialogue trees when given a choice. posts will most likely be done chapter by chapter so that they dont end up absurdly long. i'm recording them in a google doc and then pasting here for cataloguing purposes.

characters will be tagged in the post if they have a speaking line

my goal is to make this super easy to read whether you're on the computer or on mobile so if anyone sees anything ugly let me know

if you have any questions, please send to timeslipcamp, i check that ask box and comments there way more often! i'll get index pages and an FAQ set up after i get the first few chapters of the prologue posted.

this is going to take forever lol
