@SAF On Sakura Ack. You got me with my own fic! You know what? It would be too much work to retcon the fic. Heh! And to think I had forgotten that Sakura is Morgan’s age. Best to leave her as is (but she can still accompany Ryoma should he want to bring her along). For Hinoka, there’s yet to be a place where she’s studying. Given her stature, she might end up in entering military service. But military service is another can of worms that I don’t want to open. So let’s say she’s in police training instead… You know what? Let’s say she studies crime - say at Nachtstadt University. But Camilla… is another can of worms. On Krakenburg That’s acceptable. So Krakenburg shall indeed use the four year system. Same agreement for Shirasagi. @ChocoChicken On Alear Now I’m not so sure who should be the idol between Alear and Alena/Arlea. Nor is the verdict for their hair. (I need more time to think about it)
Hey, buddy, continuity is a thing when you write a sequel to a past fic. Rereading older works might be necessary to keep it in order. As for Sakura accompanying Ryoma, she probably can meet him at the station or something with or without Takumi -- maybe without because dude might help prepping stuff for the event itself. Might even be more amusing if it coincides with Kamui welcoming the club~ Then there's a chance for any of Xander's younger siblings (including Corrin if he so desires) to tag along when Hinoka takes a train to Byakuya-shi as well~ Take your time then.
@SAF You know, I should reread the fic from top to bottom again to get the ball rolling. Now cue an unusual greeting from Kamui when everyone arrives. For Hinoka… let’s hope she doesn’t press the training regimen too harshly. She might as well grab Sully and Vaike while she’s at it. Now for Alear! Let’s run with your idea of Alear being the idol with Arlea/Alena as his girlfriend. Then you have her brimming with ideas and choreography for him to perform. Final question. Who should have the blue hair and who should have the red hair? Or should it be a hybrid for both?
I know this is way overdue on my end, but... Speaking of Sacabambaspis, here's how I'd imagine Tamal and Kai would sing it: Lyrics (Lyrics spoiler'd by parts and color-coded with the boys' respective stage colors) Spoiler: Pre-convo Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bam bam bas pis Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bam bam bas pis Swimming failure, something like a fish (Sacabambaspis) Tadpoles ain’t got nothing more to this (Sacabambaspis) Mouth split wide and ready for a sip (Sacabambaspis) Smiling bright alive is how it lives Ya dig? Ah, Sacabambaspis Elder of the little fish Sacabambaspis Honestly you’re pretty big Sacabambaspis Sturdy like a mighty ship Smiling cruel and sly is how it lives Spoiler: Convo (drawing segment) It’s time to start the drawing segment. Everybody knows the routine by now, right? No cuz we’ve never done this. Today we’ll draw the fish that everyone loves: the Sacabambaspis. Nobody knows what the hell that is. The steps are super easy! Let's do this together! Why would anyone want to learn this??? Draw 3 circles, 2 lines, a triangle for the mouth, and you’re done! Bro just shut up and sing Spoiler: Post-convo Ah, look our hero is bringing peace among the common folk In a world with pain that so overflows It’s not special, swimming like a failure Funny knowing ya my fish from up above Let’s hear it Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bam bam bas pis Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bam bam bas pis @ChocoChicken Is this good enough or do you have better ideas?
Hmm. Stetson's cover has most of the song in unison, so I was thinking more like this. Non-colored is unison, with Tamal taking the higher part and Kai taking the lower. Spoiler: My take Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bam bam bas pis Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasaca bam bam bas pis pis Sacasacasaca bam bam bam bam bas pis Swimming failure, something like a fish (Sacabambaspis) Tadpoles ain’t got nothing more to this (Sacabambaspis) Mouth split wide and ready for a sip (Sacabambaspis) Smiling bright alive is how it lives Ya dig?

Hmm... I'd imagine Alear would be the redhead and Alena/Alrea would be the blunette. Alear would eventually paint half of his hair blue to (maybe) match his girlfriend. Thoughts? Whelp, that sounds viable. Let's roll with it. Friendly reminder about the songs' lineup: Chaos&Abyss - Kai Another movement of Chaos&Abyss - Kai and Nora Your Affection - Robin Sacabambaspis - Kai and Tamal, dual vocals Just Be Friends - Maya Azura Tiny Stars - Group (Kai and Nora on respective instruments (electric for Nora), Robin on guitar, Robyn choreo + vocals, Alex vocals, Maya on electric guitar, Tamal on bass) Cosmic I - Group (Kai and Nora on keyboard + electric violin, Robin on bass, Tamal on vocals + rhythm guitar, Robyn on lead guitar) Secret Alex Solo (ask Choco for this one, lmao) Alternate (Robyn + Azura) Testify (Kai on keyboard, Nora on viola, all others on vocals) Since Maya's first song is Just Be Friends (song #5), I'd recommend to have her tune whichever guitar that's going to be used for that song first.
@SAF Was actually looking around to repost the list And then you'll be having Alena/Arlea painting half her hair red to (maybe) match her boyfriend. Perfectly possible. Still leaning to the isekai route, too. Quite separately, a friend of mine got into the Persona 3 fandom as I have... and he ran into this extremely trash song that doesn't make sense in the slightest Robyn will definitely not let anyone sing this.
Oooh, noice. I think I'll need to listen to it first... By the way, random thought about this scene: For some reason this song might as well fit the scene, maybe~
Might as well be the theme for the moment when Nora walked into Robyn’s room. Suddenly, the scene becomes extra amusing. But wouldn’t that extend to the Evo Quest party’s situation too? And when I’ve more time, I should have a crack at writing Alear. First thing I’ll write about is him and her getting mocked for their hair and comparing it to Colgate and the Switch (there’s actually a fanart of that)
The thing is, this is the original context of the music: Spoiler: UTY spoiler So this song playing at the moment Nora entered Robyn's room is a bit... Plus, Evo Quest's context is a little too dark for the song imo. Maybe it would lighten up the vibe a little? Or would it be awkward?
Ah! I get it. It makes sense in context. I imagine it would only play momentarily since Robin technically didn't see her. Suppose Evo Quest could use a different theme
@SAF @ChocoChicken @WavePearl I could only imagine Kai hammering the piano at this point. While I was playing Love Live SIF 2 (or rather, it's final month of gameplay before it shuts down), I ran into this. It depicts one underclassmen in the idol group who won a plushie of her upperclassman. (She's like, "Yes, yes, yes, yes! There we go, there we go!! I got Kanon-senpai~~~!!") Like, the original five senpai in the anime have merchandise of them. Spoiler: Prize claw Our school club could do the same
@122 Generation I can see that happening--maybe get in touch with someone that knows how to make high quality plushies, and make some of everyone in their coords?
@ChocoChicken cc. @SAF @WavePearl After the Shirasagi performance is over... Any ideas for Tamal's birthday?
@122 Generation What kind of gifts would he like? Maya could then go shopping for those--or get the cake
@WavePearl No clue. That's up to Choco. But getting gifts is a start. And it also depends if Tamal wants to go on an excursion for his birthday.
