121 | updates on Mystic Messenger & Pokemon Go, and an unrelated fic rec
► Chocolate Box opened a few days ago, and I got the most fantastic gift. It’s a Fire Emblem Awakening Virion & f!Robin friendship fic with a side of Virion/Libra, and it is absolutely lovely and deserves more attention.
Here’s the link: Captured Piece
► Since my last Mystic Messenger update, I finished Yoosung’s Good Ending as well as the first Bad Relationship Ending. More under the cut!
...Things got really angsty at the end of the final days. Holy shit, Yoosung. And Seven! I felt so much for him in this ending. He was just so depressed at the end, so full of self-loathing, and failing so hard at trying to hide it. “Just tired,” he tried to say.
His conversation with Yoosung when he was driving him to the hospital…. ._. And his phone call with the MC, and how he talked up Yoosung by putting himself down— “I didn’t know but he’s decisive and brave. He’s a much better person than I am, haha…” And then that dead-eyed look he had at the party.... And then when he started crying…. ._.
Jumin’s openly worrying about Seven during the chats surprised me, but was also really adorable.
...I just looked at my notes and saw that I wrote, “Yoosung BODYSWAP WITH THE ENEMY MWAHAHAHAHA”. I have no idea what this means, and my screenshots are not enlightening me. Ugh, this is why I shouldn’t wait so long to write up reactions.
On a more positive note, Zen! He was just so adorably excited about Yoosung and Seven coming back safe (or, “safe”, but he and the MC didn’t know that at the time.) His texts and calls to the MC were cute.
A text:
“They should have told us everything!!”
“They’re making us worry… Still, I’ll forgive them as they came back safe!!”
And two lines from the call:
“He’s back safe! This calls for celebration. I called him but he didn’t pick up so I'm calling you.”
and, when talking about how much he worried,
“Even my hair fell out! Of course, it was only a couple of strands… but I felt bad for my hair. It feels like silk.”
ZEN, NEVER CHANGE. ♥
The party itself was… hm. I really liked the idea of them all ditching to go visit Yoosung at the hospital, but then Yoosung and V put an end to that idea! (Also, I couldn’t help but note that this is the only route in the Casual Story where V goes to the party…) This wouldn’t have been so bad, except that it was then paired with a cringe-worthy, Zen-esque public announcement of love, and I just died from embarrassment. Goddamnit, Yoosung.
I then went for the Bad Relationship Ending 01. This is the first bad relationship ending I’ve ever gone for (though I did always intend to do them eventually.) I decided on doing a BRE ending first instead of a normal bad ending because I was going to be travelling/away from home from about two days, and thought that a bad ending reliant on low/no participation would be the perfect way to use my in-game time during that period.
The ending was short, but… unexpectedly hilarious? Idk, something about Yoosung’s, “LOL NEVERMIND I DON’T ACTUALLY FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT YOU” really amused me.
The VN segment afterwards was also pretty decent. I loved Yoosung asking Seven if he could move in with him. My reaction: “....Is this the set-up for a Seven/Yoosung route???”
► I turned on Pokemon Go this morning to just glance at the interface, since I knew that Gen 2 had been released, and… saw a Murkrow standing in my house??? So I caught her immediately. My first Gen 2 Pokemon in this game! I suddenly feel actually attached to Murkrow now, haha.
I was gone for a couple of days, like I mentioned in my Mystic Messenger update, and I did play Pokemon Go a bit during that time. The Pokemon were pretty much the same as at home, though, but I did finally catch a Vulpix, so yay. ♥

Just realized that I inadvertently outed myself as the writer before the anon period was up. My apologies.
