THISTLE

[crittersheep]

♪ Today is the day that you'll finally begin your Doki Doki Heartbeat Fairytale! ♪

You wake up in your bed inside of your completely average bedroom. Well, kind of average bedroom.

Afterall, it's really not just your bedroom but your entire team's bedroom. You're all in one giant bed, somehow made for six people, but everything else about said bedroom is normal.

Oh there's also pet-like beds in which weeds wake up in. They're still nice though!

You can smell breakfast coming from downstairs-

A virtual pop-up screen suddenly appears in front of your team.

Oh, crap! You're late for school! You better get going!

If you click on the arrow in the popup screen, it'll disappear. Eventually, you'll all feel the urge to go downstairs, whether you want to or not, and when you do, there's a random mother figure standing there with a plate of toast.

"You better get going, honey!"

She shoves a piece of toast in your mouth and urges you all to hurry out the door. Yes. All of you. Your entire team. Your entire team gets a piece of toast. Surprisingly, in this scenario, you can taste the bread and jam, and it's quite good. This scenario that you're in is quite real, or at the very least, it feels extremely real.



Once you grab your toast, you're urged to leave the home by some mysterious force and you now have to run! Run to school before you're too late and you get detention!

Powers and Items are all available for Round 01.

If you want to, you can access a menu here to see The Profiles of all the potential suitors.

ROUND 1

[crittersheep]

SCENARIO

[crittersheep]

You finally see the gate to [Love Love School] in the distance, but before you can get there-



You're hit by a truck, and you're sent flying (don't worry, you are not going to experience extreme pain and suffering, it's basically like being hit by a bumper car, but you will have ketchup blood comedically falling from your forehead).

A virtual pop-up screen suddenly appears in front of your team. For those who can't read, a voice will read it out to you:

You have been hit by a truck. Did it kill you upon impact? Did you manage to survive? Is someone coming to rescue you? Do you blow up the truck?

What happens now and/or what do you do?

ROUND 2

Scenario

[crittersheep]

None of that answer makes sense in a normal world. Literally if a single human saw any of that, you'd be arrested and placed into a facility of some sort.

Like what.

SCENARIO 2/2

[crittersheep]

But hey, you head into school to level ourselves up and find allies. For some reason, you decide to bring your pet dog, too. The dog that now has a bumper in its mouth.

And you carry that bumper with you to school.



You do eventually make it to class. Everything seems fine, but- ok maybe it's not so fine. Literally everyone is staring at you. You know, the blood-covered you. While you're getting to you seats, teacher takes your puppy dog.

"You know dogs aren't allowed on campus."

The teacher is about to take your dog!! What do you do?

You know, you discovered a lot of those teacher's secrets and they're kinda vile! I shall not state them in this comment because they likely deserve a content warning, but the good news is you guys did your civic duty and made the school a better place for all! It's still a wonder how you found out all those secrets, and rumors start to circulate around you, but you know. It happens.

Either way you do get commendations! And get featured in the news! Your faces plastered for all to see!

Re: ROUND 3

[crittersheep]

You.

You dropped the bump-her into Blanca's lap.

You sure did that.

They do seem to laugh though so maybe that's . . . a win . . . ??

???????

"Hahaha, your dog knows some pretty great tricks!! I bet I could teach it a thing or two . . . "

[crittersheep]

Your day ends up pretty normally though. School goes back to normal, the attention on you dies down.

And then one day an envelope comes to your door.

And it says:

I finally found you.

What do you do with this letter? Do you ignore it? Do you trace down the owner? Do you eat it like the bad dog you are, Mister Hardcore? Er, sorry, Mister Edgelord?

FINAL RESULT

[crittersheep]

[crittersheep]

So you and your trusty dog Edgelord are searching for the sender of this letter. You recognize the scent and the handwriting, but where did you see this before . . . ?

Is this one of the seven mysteries?

Re: FINAL RESULT

[crittersheep]

It's familiar.

[crittersheep]

That's because you've seen it before.



Once upon a time . . .

Once upon a time, in a magical land, far, far away, you made a promise forgotten.

And then you one day left that world, and you left them all alone.

Until they could find you.

Re: FINAL RESULT

[crittersheep]

"Once upon a time, there was a story who was loved. A story who had been read over and over and over again, loved by everyone who had read it. At some point, it had been reinvented and reimagined over and over and over until the original couldn't be recognized anymore. Even the story itself can't remember what story they originally were. Instead, all they have is a remnant of their original story as their name.

Isn't that a bit familiar? What was your name anyway? Do you remember?

Are you the same person you once were?

But still, despite everything, no matter how much you've changed, there is one thing I still miss. I miss the eyes who read every word on every page. Now I'm just a classmate. Or maybe I'm just a stalker. But most of all, I'm a story you've forgotten.

And I'm here hoping you might remember me someday.

Because at the very least, you haven't forgotten that mystery. I haven't forgotten either."

"Let me help you solve that mystery, hm?"
