How would the ROs react to the MC saying to the main villain "first of all, bitch. Secondly, how dare you interrupt my pizza time? I'm hungry right now dammit."

Koda: Even he’d look at you oddly, Koda may have some interesting priorities himself, but you’d give him genuine pause with that one. Of course, with his nurturing nature, Koda would offer you a warm smile. “I think I have some trail mix in my pocket. Would you like some?”

Scarlett: Would have a brief existential crisis about the fact that you’re the person she chose to spend eternity with and those were the kind of priorities you have. However, if you were actually upset, she’d pat your arm, a sincere, albeit strained, smile on her lips. “We’ll go out to eat once this all done with, my heart.”… If we don’t die first…

Cyrus/Cyra: They’re completely focused on the literal villain standing in front of them, so they don’t truly give your comment any actual thought. “I don’t think you’ll have to worry about getting hungry again if we don’t get out of here.” They chance a brief look at you, brow furrowed in concern. “Given that your stomach will likely be laid out on the floor in front of us.”

Quinn: Their eyes would slide shut in absolute exasperation, as their wolf snarls at them to do something because it’s obvious their chosen mate doesn’t have any survival instincts to speak of. “I think the general lack of pizza is the least of our concerns at the moment, sweetheart.”

Caden: Wouldn’t even deign the comment with a response, as they’d be cataloguing the person in front of them. Trying to figure out if there’s any chance that they’d be able to slip past them, or find an escape route that be beneficial to you both. However, after all is said and done, they’d turn to you, remembering what you had said, completely astonished. “You were thinking of food during a time like that?”

Sloane: It’s at that very moment that they’d want nothing more than to pull a cigarette out and finish the entire thing in one draw… They’d be holding back from yelling at you— seriously what the hell are you thinking(?)— but the sheer exasperated annoyance in their tone would give them away. “You’ve really achieved a level of dumbassery I wasn’t sure you’d be able to get to. Congrats.”

Blake: The brief crackle of plastic would fill the air before something is being shoved towards you… Blake, being a literal squirrel, always has some form of food on them and it’s of no surprise that they had grabbed a couple of slices to go when everything went to shit. At your own look, they shrug. “Who wants to do anything on an empty stomach?”

Reginald/Regina: For a moment, they’d turn to you with a wide smile on their lips, forgetting the kind of predicament they’re in, as they bounce in place. “We’re having pizza tonight? Do you know who’s making it? Blake isn’t going to try another one of their ‘specialities’, right?”

After seeing the asks and the answer you provided about the fake queen thing, I can see why you don't want to do that ridiculous storyline and it would had instantly turned all of the readers against Arthur so fast that we all get whiplash with a murderous urge to kill Arthur and the fake.

Yeah, I find the story interesting in terms of Arthur as a character in Arthuriana, and one that is especially notable when confronting that often Arthur is the villain of his own literature (or at least a lousy, easily swayed and lethally neglectful king) by the time of the vulgate.

But in a story where Arthur is a romance option and a character I want to portray as tragic and sympathetic, a story like that just has to get thrown out. It has great character potential for Guinevere, Lancelot, Gawain, and Galehaut but at a huge cost to Arthur.

So as much as I do enjoy studying and analyzing the story, I can’t include it here.

Would it ever be possible to enter into a power struggle against "Mother dearest" to rule over the vampires as the MC would feel is their birthright with the werewolves and Fallon's support?

No, Fallon and Lunaria wouldn’t do such a thing. You’d also be contending with the vast majority of Venturia as well, and Astoria, in trying to unseat your mother. Lenora also isn’t one to simply sit back and let people, even her own family, try to raise hell just because you think you are owed something— she killed her twin brother because of it. The treaty would also be broken immediately if Lunaria were to attack Venturia, and House Venture, in such a manner— even with the MC being the head of it— which would mean an all out war (again not something that’d be easily won because the neutral nation of Astoria might not be so neutral anymore because Lunaria would clearly be the instigator).

If you’d like to be the Ruler of Vampires then I highly suggest not going through with the marriage to Fallon. Or, you’ll be able to see that due to the treaty more vampires started to branch off in Lunaria to start to live more harmoniously with the werewolves.

Loved your answer for my last ask. Here's another one though lol

How would everybody react to the MC getting shot by someone and they think they're dead now but out of nowhere the shooter gets shot dead by the MC on the ground and it turns out it only hit the MC's shoulder?

im starting to think youve managed to get ahold of my notes or something 👀. Keeping it vague like last time and kinda not answer the prompt☝

Aster: The tears streaming down their face have left them practically blind. All they can focus on is the feeling of blood on their hands. Hot and sticky blood. The feeling leaves them on the brink of panic, regretting not paying any attention to the few first aid lessons that they were taught. Aster knows that they're not going to lose their Star tonight, but the fact that they're here and hurting almost drives them to madness. They swear to everything that even has the chance listening that they will never let this happen again.

Ro: They're frozen, they want to move but they cant bring themselves to do it. All they can focus on is the blood on Blessings shoulder. They can still hear the sound of the gun going off. For a moment, all they can think of is their Father and how painful his last moments were, and how Ro could do nothing to help him in that moment. This time they can help. This realization sets them into motion and they rush over to Blessing to begin their assessment of the wound. Ro will not let another one of their family suffer, not as long as theyre still here and breathing.

Jesse: The wave of relief that flows through his body is enough to knock him to his knees. He thought he lost his Blessing, his purpose, his everything. It was only for a moment but that moment was long enough for him to realize that he'll never be able to handle that pain. He'll burn the world to the ground before he ever has experience anything like it again.

Harrison: The burning rage that flows through his veins still has control of his mind. Even after the shooter is on the ground dead he cant stop himself from firing three more shots into the body. When Harrison turns to look at Blessing the fire in him begins to dim. He so badly wants to be angry, to yell at them for being an idiot and getting themselves shot, but he cant. All he can bring himself to do is kneel next to them and brush the hair out of their face, releasing a small sigh and finally letting the rage die out.

I was wondering after reading the new demo, how would everyone feel towards the MC that's clearly angry and frustrated at being forced to be the Harbinger when it was obvious that they wanted to be a warrior, and desperately tries to find a way to get out of it?

Hi! Sorry I took so long to answer, I'm trying to get through the backlog...

This is definitely a valid way for the Harbinger to feel and I'm planning to add some choices for the rest of the game that can reflect this sentiment at times. Because, although MC doesn't have a choice, they should be able to make their feelings clear.

I'm not going to share the ROs feelings on the matter. The reason being because I think there will be an opportunity to discuss this with them in game and I want to save their feelings on the matter for that possibility, sorry!

James: James would feel guilty because he's obviously the reason you're in this position. However, he had his reasons and he knows this is for the best. But, he would vow to do whatever he can to try and make this easier on you.

Vivian: Vivian constantly wonders if they (her and Percy) should have done something differently. But they were working in circumstances that weren't ideal and doing their best. But she hates to think that her child is unhappy. That's never what she wanted. She understands your frustration, but she also knows this is what it means to be royalty.

Anna: Having been by your side for much of your life and knowing how you planned on living, she feels sympathy for you and wishes that, as your friend, she could help you. To be thrust from your life into one of someone else's design isn't fair, but that's exactly what happened.

Seeing an ask where you said we could meet Naruto, I was wondering if the cast would know if the MC felt that all of the tailed beasts had to die in order to prevent such an attack from happening again?

i think since at the time this if is set, naruto is still a child/kid and hasn't made anyone change their minds about jinchurikis yet, everyone in general has the opinion that tailed beats are bad and too dangerous. especially since one just nearly destroyed the leaf village a few years ago.

that being said,, if mc just casually said they think tailed beasts should be destroyed none of the ros would really bat an eye at it, but if mc made it like their mission in life to hate all tailed beasts and jinchuriki then some would be like "okay maybe calm down" (asahi, niko, shikako, rona, chai) and the others would be like "okay good luck with that" (kougetsu, ryoku, jun, inoru)

I wanted to say that after doing a couple of playthroughs romancing X and R with a blunt and assertive personality character that it was quite an experience to see the MC having great doubts but when the assertive or blunt trait kicks in for a scene, they can seem like a very strong leader that can make the nobles nervous not to mess up in the Crown's presence. It's honestly quite amazing for a character development.

Writing variations for the same scene based on the Crown's personality/choices is easily one of the most tiring parts of writing IF because it can feel as if you've been stuck on a scene forever without making progress, so I'm super glad to hear all that blood, sweat and tears for the personality traits paid off in the end 😭 💖

Very excited about this WIP. I'm a huge SW nerd with several video games, recent one being KOTOR for Switch. Here's my question for you, is Darth Vader a thing in your story or are you going to create a new character in his place?

Darth Vader is definitely a character within this story, I absolutely adore him and I couldn’t make a story in this universe (during this time period) and not include him.

There’s another character that’s semi-like him that you’ll meet too, which I hope you’ll enjoy. As they’re a character of my own creation.

I’m glad to have you here ✨
