Every Voltage MC is Special bc I Say So - PIL
Note: I am not a master on every character’s routes and trivia. I made these up because I’m tired of boring MCs with no unique traits
Also I’m using the names from the original English version, because I love Christopher and I will not accept the usurper.
Christopher’s MC: an amazing dancer. Natural rhythm and talent, she can cut a proverbial rug with the best of ‘em. She and Christopher go dancing often, and more often than not she takes the lead. Sometimes other guys will try to cut in and have a turn, and Christopher’s jealous side makes an appearance. He learns how to dancer better to impress his MC.
Eduardo’s MC: along with appreciating healthy relationships (side-eyes at Voltage), MC is that one person in every friend group who LOVES scary stories. She recounts tales of ghosts and monsters so terrifying that Morgan has to beg her to stop before she makes Thomas cry. Eduardo is…surprised, but also weirdly into it. Together, they terrorize all they meet.
Morgan’s MC: she knows how to identify almost any animal on sight. At first, Morgan figures she just did a lot of bird watching, but then she starts recognizing animals that aren’t even native to her homeland and he realizes “oh, wow, she was either really bored or a natural genius”. Either way he’s not wrong. It comes in handy when food’s running low and they have to fish or hunt. It’s thanks to her they haven’t accidentally eaten any poisonous fish yet.
Russell’s MC: her hands are MAGIC at massages. One press to the shoulders and you melt. Of course, Russell keeps her magic healing hands to himself (”Russell calm down It was just a hand massage” “HE MIGHT HAVE A WEIRD HAND KINK MC YOU DON’T KNOW). Sometimes he’ll try to return the favor, but he tends to use too much pressure, and his hands are too rough from his sword. But MC never complains, because she knows it means he cares.
Nathan’s MC: prefers traditionally masculine clothing. I mean, she worked at a bar, a skirt and corset kind of get in the way of dealing with drunken sailors and port workers. Eventually, she just came to prefer pants. Nathan doesn’t really care, it’s better for ship life anyway. However, if anyone gives MC shit for how she dresses, you can bet your ass he’s gonna throw some hands. Sometimes they wear each other’s clothes by accident, and the rest of the crew teases them mercilessly…until Nathan threatens not to feed them.
Thomas’ MC: somehow, she always picks perfect presents. She’ll just buy something at random and the person loves it, somehow, every time. It’s magic. Thomas loves going shopping for presents with her because she’s always so composed when anyone else would be stressed or panicked. However, it makes him extremely stressed and panicked when it comes time for him to find a present for her, since he knows that whatever she gives him will be perfect.
Alan’s MC: a quite competent hunter. It’s not like it was the only way to get food in MC’s homeland, but she did learn from her parents. She quickly becomes in charge of hunting food for Alan’s crew when they run out of meat.Plus, it means she can fend him off when he’s in one of his more pervy moods and she’s not having it. She keeps the idiot alive, but he’s her idiot so she doesn’t mind.
Leonardo’s MC: surprisingly good with maps and navigation. If any of Leonardo’s maps have errors or things missing, she makes sure to correct them. He’s quite impressed, and likes to subtly brag about how smart she is to other officers. (”Uh, wasn’t she a pirate tho-” “Shut the fuck up, nobody asked you”).
It is with a very heavy heart that we must announce that “Pirates in Love” and “Seduced in the Sleepless City” will no longer be available for download after September 4th 2017 JST. However, all stories in both apps will be made free of charge for those who have the apps installed after they are removed from the app store. (See below for more details).
Due to a reform in policy by our providers, all 32-bit apps will no longer be supported on the app store. Pirates in Love and Seduced in the Sleepless City are both 32-bit apps, and due to their age, can no longer be updated to meet the 64-bit requirements.
Timeline: The apps will be removed from the store on September 4th, 2017 JST, at which point we will be allowed to make all stories free to read for those who have the apps downloaded to their device. (Note: In order to continue to play the app, refrain from updating your device’s operating system.) You will be able to play stories for free until the servers are shut down at an unknown point in 2018. (We have no control over when the service provider will choose to terminate the server.)
“Pirates in Love” & “Seduced in the Sleepless City” were two of our first apps and hold a very special place in not only our hearts, but in the hearts of our devoted fans. It is with incredible regret and our humble apologies that we come to you with this news, especially after only just releasing Captain’s Cut. We know that nothing we say may be of any help, but please understand that this is the last thing we wanted for the crew of the Sirius or the Sleepless boys. We will do everything in our power to make sure that you never lose your favorite characters or stories ever again.
While we are unable to refund your purchases, we would like to apologize to our fans by offering all stories in both apps free of charge after the apps are removed from the store.
We understand that you may have concerns about the aforementioned information, and we will do our absolute best to respond to all inquiries sent, but please be aware that we may not be able to respond to all questions regarding this issue. We apologize in advance if your inquiry goes unanswered.
Sincerely, The Voltage Inc. localization team
december 8th marks the anniversary of when i bought russell’s story, aka the first route i ever bought. i can’t believe it’s been five years!
i keep thinking… i mean they’re on a pirate ship with the sun beating down on them all day why are they so pale???? shouldn’t they be a lil bit tan or smth???
the first pic is probably more accurate to what their tans would look like, according to their clothing
I played the prologue... need to wait until I have money to buy anything :’)
me @ voltage, for the past four (4) years: pls update PiL
voltage, in the year 2017 of our lord and savior jesus christ: here’s a PiL revamp
me: i –
in honor of PiL getting a revamp, here’s my first otome bias – my boy – russell (or i guess we’re sticking with hayate now) TvT
[twitter]
I figured this might be the place to ask. Do you (or anyone seeing this) know of any good places to find some voltage roleplayers? Because I missed the height of Pirates in Love all that time ago and I don't want to miss my chance this time!
Hmm, I’ve never roleplayed before, but I know of at least one blog that seem to?
@piratesinloverp is the one, and if there are others they likely know them. Back in the day there were a bunch of ask blogs, too! To my knowledge though they aren’t active anymore.
What would be your casting choices if 'Pirates in Love' were turned into a television or film series? <3
Unfortunately I don’t know actors very well. :’)
I think MC though should be played by someone unknown, or up-and-coming. As for the guys, it’s just kinda a giant shrug. None of the actors I’m aware of fit with my image of them. I think I would want unknown actors as well just so I can see them purely as that character, and not as the *actor,* if that makes sense at all. Sorry this isn’t a real answer. ^^;

WHAT IS THIS FEELING I FEEL LIKE I STEPPED BACK IN TIME TO A PAST WHEN OTOME WAS THIS SHINING BRIGHT LIGHT IN MY BORING LIFE, A TIME WHEN THE VOLTAGE FANDOM WAS IN ITS INFANCY AND FANGIRLING WAS EMBRACED WITHOUT FEAR OF CENSORSHIP. Well okay we all grew up BUT seeing this video is making me emotional. @hikarunohana ARE YOU READY

tfw you bought pretty much everything from the old app and now that pirates in love is getting a reboot you get all nostalgic and buy everything all over again…
russell if you’re out there you’re still the first bae and i’ll always love u
rereading russell’s route has been a treasure
now im off to play captains cut byeeeee
... Guess I need to actually be a responsible blog-runner again. :^)
This morning I woke up to a message about the new teaser image that Voltage Inc. posted on their Facebook page an hour earlier. Of course I was confused. That image looked too similar to Pirates i...
Our prayers have been answered!
Just putting it out there
I really want voltage to make a new or part 2 game of Pirates in Love that was one of my favourite games! It was different and adventurous! The characters are hilarious! And in every route I played I loved! The recent app always crashes and I’m literally so sad. Sigh.
