[ she nods! she is very easy to boss around. ]

I can show you what it was going to be. It's been patched into this, though.

[fergalicious]

[ Medb does not understand what patched means in this case, but she doesn't care to ask for an explanation.

She gestures at the podium. ]

Do it now.

[gamerbrain]

[ sure! aoi obediently steps up to the podium and sets it to display a world she's more familiar with. what populates around them appears to be... a pretty regular high school rooftop! there's a fence, for safety. and you can see a sprawling, ordinary city stretching out into the horizon.

except oh god why is the sky like that ]

[fergalicious]

[ WHY IS THE SKY LIKE THAT COLA

Except Medb doesn't seem to be taken too aback by it. She does look up at with some kind of curiosity and interest, but her alarm is minimal. ]

Explain the sky.

[ (tsuru voice) explain the mouth ]

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi looks up at the sky for a moment. then touches the panel again.

and the sky is a nice ordinary blue sky! ]

It was lag.

[fergalicious]

... Lag.

[ Yeah. Sure. ]

Your world is broken, isn't it.

[ She thought so before, but this cinches it. ]

[gamerbrain]

It shouldn't be broken.

But Aoi didn't get to spend much time there. The story barely started before being patched to this new one.

[fergalicious]

What kind of story was it supposed to be? A high school cliché?

[gamerbrain]

For the most part, but there was also NTR in some routes.

[fergalicious]

[ ... ]

What's NTR?

[ Does she even want to know? ]

[gamerbrain]

Cuckolding.

[fergalicious]

[ Medb laughs. ]

Are you the one who cuckolds, or are you being cuckolded?

[gamerbrain]

It varies, depending on the route.

[fergalicious]

The way you act, you're probably cuckolded more often than not.

[gamerbrain]

That's the least common outcome. Aoi steps back when the player chooses to pursue a different heroine.

[fergalicious]

[ She just Looks at Aoi. She can't understand that at all. ]

Do you exist to be a doormat?

[gamerbrain]

A little bit.

[fergalicious]

Don't undersell it. It's a lot.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi has an easier time taking control of scenes when Aoi has the script.

[fergalicious]

[ ... Nope. Medb doesn't want to parse that. ]

Sure. Okay.

[ That's all she's got. ]

[gamerbrain]

It's true. There are several plot points that wouldn't happen without Aoi.

Normally.

[fergalicious]

A plot device?

[gamerbrain]

Sometimes.

When the player isn't on Aoi's route, Aoi becomes that kind of existence until she isn't necessary anymore.

[fergalicious]

You sound so accepting of that.

[gamerbrain]

Because that's Aoi's purpose. Aoi was designed for this.
