DATE_WITH_RIKA

2 min read

The DATE is a blind date with one of RYEN’s COLORS.
The protagonist is actually here to meet RIKA
RIKA seems a little weird, but is receptive to the protagonist.

wip

The date starts at a public place (restaurant or something idk)
regular date stuff happens. (you learn about her, hobbies, occupation, likes, dislikes whatever man)

you can go play blackjack with RIKA before you get to the apartment half.
you’ll have money, you can just lose it all. i don’t think it’ll be used for much but you have to lose something in gambling right???

The date eventually moves to her apartment.
The GLASS_SPIRE from the SOUL_INLINED event (and all the other fun effects) happen. RIKA will be visibly disturbed and will ask you to stay where you are. She enters the bathroom and you are free to look around.

If you check the bathroom you’ll notice shes not in there.
If you wait around for 30-40 minutes IRL, she returns and the game just ends.

If you question her identity, she will push back. But you can push harder. you can use clues that you spotted to support your claim.

After a certain threshold, she will eventually break and reveal her true identity.
She will start giving more truthful answers to questions and you get to have a heart to heart with her. You can ask multiple things:

  • Personal
    • Why take on a persona? (Reveals that shes distracting herself)
    • Distracting herself from what?
    • JAUNE?
    • What happened between them? (maybe we can have the protagonist relate to RYEN)
  • Various generic questions about godhood
    • What is it like?
    • Why not rule over us?
    • Why hide?

After the stupid god gets interrogated by a lesser being the date is over, and a new date is scheduled. You get to go on an actual date with her and learn more basic things about her. Just like an actual date.
