Doctor Wallenstein Grows Funny Creatures

[davidn]

Just as I realize my usually sane and well-adjusted journal has consisted near exclusively of this for the last two weeks - it's the final part! Though a lot of things had to be taken out of this one in the interests of flow/relevance, so I might yet put together a separate out-takes video for it. Somehow, we survived. Well, I'm just speaking for myself here - I'm not sure about the others.

Thank you once again to everyone who took part, and for kjorteo's organization of us all. I had a great time doing this - not least in the climactic scene which was the verbal equivalent of battling with two colossal wedges of ham - and I honestly can't wait for our attempt to do the same thing with Holidaystar (assuming that our effort at that can eventually get posted and doesn't have to be sealed in some vault somewhere).

That dialog at the 17:30 mark brought a hypothesis to mind...

Is it possible that Anghel was involved in the Hatoful House incident somehow? I could understand Hiyoko forgetting about him at that time; it was a rather traumatic experience for her, after all. Something may have happened between the two that ultimately led to a violent falling-out between them, after which Shuu captured him, putting him in the medical center about the same time as Nageki.

In that regard, Hiyoko would have been somewhat responsible for his imprisonment.

Hmm....

You missed another 11 Wisdom reference at 13:00. :)

This was amazing. The group plays against each other perfectly, and everyone brings untold amusement to everyone else and everyone makes everyone else crack up at every turn. It's the best madness ever. I had the time of my life, and cannot wait to continue this kind of fun when HolidayStar is out! My biggest and most sincere thanks to everyone in the mean time; the group dynamic really is what made this special, and so I couldn't have done this without you (whatever "this" is.)
