Oh boy oh boy oh boy it's KY time.

This one seems least offensive, since I don't know will probably make her angry that we can say we love Hisao without knowing when we fell in love, and since we met just seems to be us lying to our best friend for a very long time.

[] When we first met.
We have to let her know we had no choice in the matter.

Quick, bring up that image and tilt your screen back intill it starts going dark. You're welcome.
Polite sage for off-topic.

Also, should we Save too? I know we remembered to save before we told Emi we loved Hisao.

It might be better to hold off until we either fight or arrange for a fight. With how bad things may go, as unfortunate as it is, it could be necessary to go back to the save and backstab Emi flat-out instead.

isnt a bit harsh and uneeded? If Lilly route managed to maintain Hanako by her side, maybe is feasible to do the same here too,.

>>21302818

Our goal is to get Hisao and get rid of the competition in one way or another. No tool or trick is too dirty or unfair in this pursuit.

>>21302820

Hey man, we got a sweet-ass murder-knife and seven-point magic by not killing her as soon as possible. If nothing else, we were better off holding off on killing her until she gave us the weapon that puts on even footing with Lilly.

>>21302861
Lilly is alpha and Hanako is beta.

We are beta and Emi is alpha.

>>21302886

Man, did you even read the last session? Our tanto blew the fuck up. Now we have a crystal possibly-mage-killer dagger that used to belong to Emi's Dad.

You wanted to kill her, and instead she gave us a family heirloom +3. Deal with it, you know nothing, Wheatley.

>>21302851

I think it's going to bite us in the end.

>>21302861

Our choices here and tomorrow will determine if we face the Lilly alone or with Emi.
Eventually, she will have to die. There' is no second place in this route.

>>21302922

Should have killed her with the same heirloom then.

>>21302927

I'm predicting that we still have a sanity counter, but it's invisible now. And instead of dying flat-out, the lower our sanity gets, the more likely we're going to have hallucinations and delusions that will be detrimental to our goals and health.

After all, just walking to Emi's left us with the desire to murder random people and being disgusted and enthralled at the same time. Who knows how bad these sort of thoughts will get when we go to a murdertorture carnivale and fight a crazy blind woman?

[x] I don't know.

>>21302980

Hey, I did ask if we should save or not, so we could go back to that option. And we'll probably still kill her, just the difference between being needlessly bitchy and having an honorable and badass duel that we could practice the seven-point star with.

>>21302992

I think our sanity is now depends on how long and how fare are we staying away from Hisao. Only his presence seems to be strong enough to stop the insanity. Lack of sanity counter opens up more spellcasting though, so we have more raw might at our side now. Still not enough to match Lilly though, she has experience, we only have potential.

We're 0-3 or 4 I think on honorable badass duels. We lost our badass with our arms. We are Iago. We are the rogue.

"What..." You ask. "Is... 'love' to you?"
Emi makes a motion as if to say something but then falls silent as she thinks about your question.
It's not as simple an inquiry as one might think at first.
"I don't know..." She says. "He's just... so nice to me... He talks to me... It makes me happy to be around him."
"It's the same for me."
Your legless friend looks at you with a rather un-Emi-like visage that's between analytic and pensive.
"Seeing him happy makes me happy." You finally give voice to your thoughts. "I... want to see more of that. I want to be with him."
At your words, her head droops downwards.

>>21303063
Don't know yet. Poll will probably open up tomorrow or Sunday.

"You really love Hisao?" She asks, her bangs casting her eyes in shadow.
You nod, not knowing if there even is a 'right' way to vocalize an answer.
Silence descends upon Emi's room.
This impasse stretches for an eternity: Seconds seem like years, shakes become like lustrums, and if you mix vanilla coke with Jack Daniels it makes a much easier highball than grapefruit juice does.
Finally, your legless companion breaks the deadlock. "Love... Has to go both ways... Right?"
As far as you understand, that's the ideal. You nod.
Emi lifts her gaze to meet yours again and takes a few steps towards you.
"Then... Whichever one of us Hisao picks will be real love, right?"
"Bacon-girl said something similar and we know how that worked out."
Your twintailed friend giggles dryly. "Yeah. If you were anyone else I'd be planning to shoot you in the back first chance I got. But..." She comes to a halt just before you. "Somehow... if 'you' had to be the one to bring Hisao happiness... instead of me... I'd be ok with that."
A conflicted smile coming onto her face, she runs a hand over your hair. "Then... Can we let Hisao choose... Which of us will bring him happiness?"
Emi's words echo through you.
Whichever of you Hisao picks...
Will that be real love?

I have vocalized many, MANY times the numerous reasons to kill this traitor. This useless parasite on our quest for love.

I do not care if you all are so hopeless as to be completely unable to find magic swords appropriate to be wielded by the arm-less on your own. She has been NOTHING but dead weight and a bullseye on our back since the start and she LET HANAKO MURDER US THE FIRST TIME.

She needs to die!

"Ok." You answer.
Emi breathes a satisfied sigh before smiling softly and embracing you.
It'd be more comfortable if she had more chest. But it's still nice.
The atmosphere lightens as you make this pact.
After a bit, she releases you, regaining her trademark state of mirth. "Ok then. Game plan for tomorrow: I'll be getting us both up bright and early so we can head over to Hisao's room-"
"Hisao'll be heading here in the morning to pick us up." You interject.
"Omigosh!" Emi exclaims before narrowing her eyes at you."Were you gonna tell me about that?"
"Isn't that what I'm doing right now?"
You cow your head a bit as she looks you over. After a minute, she giggles and lapses back into a smile.
"Ok! We really need extra time, then."
"Time for what?"
"So we can dress for the festival." She clutches her fists to her chest with a grin. "I picked out a yukata that I think'll look sooooooo cute on you!"
Blinking slowly, your process your twintailed friend's words.
You're grateful that Emi thought this far ahead. You had totally forgotten this was gonna be a dress-up affair.
Still, that does give you some concern over what sort of attire she picked out.

All things considered, I think we might have the edge at this point. I think waiting at his side like a patient dog when Shizoon died probably got us high on his list, even if it cost us those last two Emi points.

>>21303416
I don't know what system Akira used, but if we were two points poor on Emi and we spent all that time trying to keep her on our side, I can only imagine we only have a little window of wiggle room for Hisao. If there's a 'point check' between us and Emi, I don't think we may win. Even if we do, Emi could still kill us and murder Hisao over being rejected.

It happened in the last route.

Don't forget about Misha. She'll surely be there...somewhere. Mad with grief, carrying around the half-rotten head of her mistress.

>>21303459
Exactly. Between Misha and Lilly, this whole choice problem may become moot. Actually, we should take any chance we have to make it become so.

>>21303459
She fought Lily once and was forced to escape, so she can be harmed with advanced magic.
Which we now have.

You shrug. "What exactly are you gonna be dressing me in?"
Emi giggles. "Hehe! Just til tomorrow. I know you'll love it!"
You hum in thought.
Well... She has done a pretty good job of dressing you until now...
"Hm? "Apparently some of your concerned showed, as Emi tilts her head a bit, scrunching her mouth in thought as she looks at your face.
"Oh, don't worry - it's perfectly combat-ready and everything. Got you lots of extra holsters for your scimitar and black keys and the like."
She guessed wrong. But that was also a legitimate concern.
Her warming smile takes on a menacing tone. "After all, we still need to do something about Lilly, right?"
You nod, forgetting your worries as you remember the task at hand (or foot).
Lilly...
She does not deserve Hisao.
He will end up with either you or Emi. That is the decree of Team Limbless.
"Alright then." Emi concludes. "Let's try to get some rest."
"Ok."
Filled with thoughts of tomorrow, you and Emi munch something tasteless together and flop down onto her bed as darkness falls.
With Hisao in your mind and Emi at your side, you drift off into a peaceful slumber.

>>21303314
[X] What exactly are you gonna be dressing me in?
Gotta look nice for Hisao, plus I doubt Emi has useful info on the Carnival of Sin that we don't already know.

[Meanwhile]

The darkened Yamaku grounds are abuzz with activity as the mongrel subjects of the Queen of Scotland scurry about, setting up attractions and events.
At the center of a ritual circle, a golden figure contrasting sharply with the darkness stands with her eyes lightly closed in concentration.
Finally, her sightless blue gaze flutters open and an array of magickal runes alight at her feet.
Tier Pargon Pargon Aretak Pargon Pargon Mantorok Pargon Pargon.
Lilly remains composed and aloof as her spell shatters the veil of reality and dissipates to reveal a creature; A powerfully-built humanoid figure wearing a long skirt of human skin and a massive blackened pyramid-shaped helmet.
It groans in agony as it shifts its overburdened neck in recognition of its new summoner.
"My, my. I'm afraid you are not free to leave this plane until you complete a task for me..."
A metal shrieking echoes through the air as the Witch-Queen softly giggles.
Having finished her summoning, Lilly turns and walks over to the now-mostly-erected Carnival grounds in search of Akira, bearing a serene smile.

Amidst the bustle, Akira saunters though the carnival whistling a light tune as she coordinates the setup.
"Damn..." A voice by the music stand catches her attention.
She walks over to the organist - a skinny redhead dressed in purple. "What seems to be the trouble?"
He looks up. "I'm trying to make that living organ I mentioned. But it's not working..." He indicates the vivisected body hooked up to the keyboard."No matter what I try, they always scream with a different pitch." He looks down with a pouting face.
"Oh, that." She replies with an easy smirk before walking over to the crucified victim. "The trick with living instruments is that emotional reactions are never quite the same. Even with things like pain."
Flicking out a runed knife, she starts fiddling with the victim and the wires.
"So what you have to do..." She muses as she cuts out the phrenic nerve and starts splitting it. "Is hook your instrument up to the victim's lung nerves..."

>>21303597

"Action potentials are all-or-none." Akira happily explains as she fiddles about with her ritual knife. "They either happen the same way or don't happen at all."
Finishing, she steps away and grins. "That way, you get the same kind of scream for every key."
The blonde seats herself and plays out the opening to Bach's First in a harmony of screaming.
Satisfied, she turns around with a smile. "See?"
Shaking with excitement, the redhead drops his music book on the floor. "COOOOL!!! You're so cool! You're awesome!"
A carefree giggle emanates from behind him as Lilly emerges from the shadows. "My, my. Isn't she just?"

The two of them stroll through the Carnival in the early morning din.
"Everything's set up on your end?"
"That it is."
"D'aawww." Akira emotes, running her free hand over Lilly's hair. "My cute little sister's finally getting a boyfriend..."
The wavy-haired girl doesn't respond to this. Akira blinks once confusedly, then shrugs and continues leading her through the Tanabata grounds as the finishing touches are applied.
"Well, it's a pity about Hanako." The suited girl muses aloud. "I even stocked the human chess game with extra black pieces."
"You're talking about that slaving raid you led into Nigeria the other day?"
"Yup. But that's ok. More bodies are never a bad thing."

The sky begins to grow a lighter tint as the two blondes converse. After a bit, Akira notices and giggles.
"Hehe. Looks like it's time." She says as she moves to break off.
As she pivots, though, Lilly tugs on her arm.
"Hm?"
"Um... Can you... help me dress for it?"

>>21303783
Yes, there is definitely some sort of destiny going on here. Crazy, isn't it?

"Rin?" You drift back into the light as Emi shakes your shoulders.
You smile. "M'up."
Emi giggles as your pull yourself upwards. "Alright, now team limbless has a party to dress for!"
The garb your legless friends has selected for you is a lightweight cotton yukata of a violet shade embroidered with red silk flowers.
Your baggy sleeves are flared and trail off you as if the wings of a cape. It looks like the gown of a regal sorceress in ages past.
With a small smile, you turn to Emi. "Thanks for picking out a good one for me."
She squirms about a little, looking sheepish. "Aw. Shucks, Rin. I'm blushing."
Hers is a powder-blue one with a swirling pink pattern. You have to admit, it's nice.
"Hehe! Glad we both look our best now!" Emi's signature competitive gleam lights up in her eyes. "Now let's get the functional aspect down."
Within your loosely fitted clothing you and Emi both stock a small arsenal of black keys, grenades, bullets, guns and the like.
Just as you finish, you hear a knock on the door.
"Emi? Rin? You in there?"
"Yup yup!"
"Hisao..."
You both reply in unison as you move to let him in.

Emi yanks the door open and you flop up against Hisao in a makeshift embrace before you've even had a clear look at him.
You've long since memorized what that voice sounds like.
"Good morning Hisao."
"Morning, Rin." He replies, patting your head.
"Mornin!" Emi happily peaks. "Wow! You dressed up, too!"
Hm?
Pulling back, you find Hisao now wearing a riot vest to protect his heart and carrying a massive magnum revolver in a thigh holster.

You shrug.
Given what you know of Akira, this is a fairly logical choice of attire for an event she's planned.
"So? Ready to head out?"
"My, my. That we are, Rin."
You can feel Emi stiffen at your side in response to this voice and mechanically turn your head to look down the hallway.
A few paces to the side of Hisao stands a golden-haired girl in a snow-white yukata.
"My, my, I bumped into Hisao while he was on his way here and thought it might be nice to enjoy the festival together." Lilly says with a smile as she puts a hand to her cheek.
He shrugs. "It sounded good to me. Ready?"
It... can't be helped.

The unwelcome truce settling in over you all, your band makes it way outside down to the carnival grounds.
Arriving, you find the celebration to already be quite bustling.
It's a diverse affair.
The Yamaku denizens have dressed up in everything ranging from yukata to riot gear to shredded Disneyland outfits.
Everyone happily mulls about armed with scimitars, halberds, magnums, jackknives, claymores, tomahawks, machine guns, chainsaws, and other assorted weaponry.
Many survivors of your riot are also wearing their personal trophies, such as ear-necklaces and handbags made from human skin.
Between yourself and Akira, Yamaku seems at least a little different from at the start of the term.
At least marginally intoxicated, Saki walks by with Natsume, happily leaning up against her as she cuddles a stuffed zombie to her chest.
Eh, maybe you're imagining it.
You shrug.

>>21304013

Hisao has seemed rather nonchalant about all of the crazy shit around him this time. Last time he was more oblivious to it.

>>21304039
Just roll with it. The school was ransacked by ganados earlier and the students made furniture from their limbs. This is the normal here. Half the school has died since the story began too

>>21304039

He's not smalltime. The premise is that characters will lose their "sanity" over time. If Hisao's surroundings didn't descend into madness he would have stayed relatively sane. At this point pretty much everyone is screwed in the head.

As you arrive, you look around, espying all manner of delightful minigames to try out and several different rides such as Ferris wheels constructed from human bones.
Suddenly, the bell tower chimes and a series of torches ringing the outdoor stage alight.
A skinny blonde in a pinstriped suit happily walks out to address the crowd.
"Welcome, ladies and gents! I present to you Akira's Carnival of Sin!"
A light round of applause goes out as a trio of students frantically cooperate to stab an attacking demon to death.
Apparantly not having rehersed this, she scratches her head a bit before laughing at herself. "I'm not really the one for speeches, actually, so I'll make this quick. Rules are as follows: If you die, you lose. All done."
With that, she takes another drink from her hip-flask and turns about.
"How do we win?" One person shouts out.
Akira twirls around and impales him with a thrown spear.
"Alright, kiddies! Now go and have fun!"
The skinny blonde merrily skips off the stage.
Emi and Lilly both giggle while Hisao looks around for a moment before turning to you."Hm. Could be fun."

Tea set has become a pan-route meme and Tripfag Akira promises it will unlock the true Lilly route if we acquire it somewhere in the story... one of them.

>>21304196
It unlocks the True Lilly route.
We also need to get an S rank on the Shizune route as it may unlock the Misha DLC.

>>21304196

It's a joke from the first KY route. There was a tea set that someone kept asking about in one of the threads, and it kind of became a running joke.

"Anime Jack Skellington is a bitch." You observe.
Lilly makes a surprisingly threatening hissing sound at you while Hisao chuckles a bit. "Oh now, Rin. That's not nice."
You shrug and indicate a student frantically running away from a magickal booby-trap with one of your arm stubs. "What part of this is 'nice'?"
"Point."
Emi looks about. "Well, come on, you two! What game do you wanna play?"

"Sounds good to me." You emote.
"As you say, Rin." Lilly agrees, leaning up against Hisao's arm.
Emi looks around. "Hm... I'd prefer something a little more physical..."
"We've got plenty of time." He says. "Besides, if you played against me, I'd never win."
Emi casts her Hurt-Puppy Face of +2 Charm at Hisao.
"Ok!" He exclaims, scratching his head. "You can pick the next one, alright? Alright?!"
She hums to herself, though you know that means she's more or less already acquiesced.
"Ok, then!" She giggles, eliciting a relieved smile from Hisao. "I'll hold you to that!"
You head over to the Speed-Execution stage. It's a simple game based around how many prisoners you can execute with a .22 pistol in a certain time.
"Any of you wanna play?" He asks as he signs in.
"I'm content to just observe." Lilly replies with a smile.
You look down at your loosely hanging sleeves and shrug.
"We'll cheer for you!" Emi happily exclaims, pushing him up. "Go Hisao! Go!"
Finding it impossible to argue with Emi, Hisao clamors up and begins dealing headshot after headshot, occasionally swapping to a new pistol instead of taking the time to reload his current one.
"Come on, Hisao! Work it! Go!" Emi cheers, happily jumping up and down.
You and Lilly are a bit less vocal, but both of you keep your attention rigidly fixed on him as the counter grinds down.

You all realize the boy Lilly is talking about isn't Hisao. She is absolutely no threat to this limb-less threesome.

Except for if Hisao confesses to her and she rejects him and he spaghettis everywhere.

>>21304636

Might not be Hisao. But she is quite possibly the greatest threat right now. In one of the bad ends she killed Rin just because she intruded upon her, if memory serves. She has absolutely no regard for lives of others.

DING.
The carnival bell heralds the end of the contest.
Hisao grimaces and sticks his tongue out as he shakes off his wrists.
Suddenly, an alarm flares up.
"High score!" The booth operator declares.
Brightly colored lights flash up as a victory theme plays.
"Alright! Hisao!" Emi tears a run in the ground with one of her legblades as she leaps up.
"Well done..." Lilly purrs.
"I won't clap, but know that I'm happy for you." You call out as Hisao finishes wiping away the brain matter and skull fragments.
He winks at you.
As a prize, he wins a large stuffed Shoggoth.
Then, he suddenly freezes as he comes down from the stage clutching the large plush doll, as he looks between the three of you.

You cast a longing glance at the doll alongside Emi.
Lilly is... Still wearing her calm smile.
It's irksome how unbothered she is by everyt-
Suddenly, Hisao flops the doll over your head. "Here."
He casts a quick look at Emi. "You've already got a big heap of dolls. Does Rin have any?"
"Hmph." She pouts.
Hisao, however, is grasped about the arm by Lilly before it hits him.
"We'll just have to win you something else, shan't we?"
Normally, Lilly clinging to Hisao would anger you, but you're still flustered.
He... Gave you the doll...
Closing your eyes, you flop it onto the ground as rub your cheek against it.
It's soft...
But it doesn't smell like Hisao yet... You'll have to change that later.
Wait, how did Hisao know what was in Emi's roo-
DING.
The PA system, which is really a series of severed heads mounted to telephone poles, spring to life and interrupts your thoughts.
"General alert, friends. Both the Decapitating Contest and Hot Potato-Masher games are up and running!"
Hisao casts gestures to your legless friend. "Your call. Either of those sound fun?"
"Both!" Emi exclaims, pridefully puffing out her modest chest as she works herself into her competitive mode. "Which do you wanna see?"
Hisao shrugs. "Doesn't matter to me."
Lilly hums before gesturing to you... Whatever that means.
You...

"Blegh... I was hoping someone'd make the choice easier." Emi whimpers before bounding back into a smile. "Ok, then! Hot Potato-Masher it is!"
"My, my. Fine choice, Emi." Lilly emotes, nuzzling up against Hisao.
You leave your Shoggoth in the care of the boothkeeper to pick up later.
It'll make a fine memento of Hisao after Lilly's been dealt with.
To make matters even better, Hisao takes your sleeve with his free hand.
It's nice when he leads you...
Emi heads the party, of course, and the four of you head over to the booth, stopping briefly to kill a swarm of zombies after Hisao accidentally stumbles over a tripwire.
"Sor-"
"What have I told you about apologizing, Hisao?" Lilly cuts him off with a pouting expression as she slices apart one of the attacking corpses.
Arriving, you find it's another game that you need hands to play.
Once again, you take to the sidelines, though this time Hisao is with you...
It needn't be said how nice a day this is turning out to be...
You and Lilly both press up against Hisao's sides as Emi steps down into the arena.

This delightful challenge is a four-player game. Standing in the corners of a square arena, a live potato-masher grenade is tossed in with them and they all take turns hurling it back and forth at each other.
Obviously, when it goes off the person holding it dies and therefore loses according to the rules set forth by Akira.
Emi's arms move in a blurr of speed as she hurls the hot explosive away from her almost as soon as it contacts her body.
BANG.
The first student dies and another live grenade is tossed in.
"Emi is really something..." Hisao emotes as he breathlessly watches the spectacle.
"Did you know that the first potato masher grenades used porcelain balls on the end of the pull-chord?" Lilly muses.
"What is it with you and porcelain?" He joking asks her, turning his head with a wry grin.
"Family secret." She replies with a giggle.
BANG.
The second victim goes. Now it's just Emi and the other one.

>Capisce?
