Prologue of ChiexYosuke ((I suck at writing btw))

No title yet, just... er... it doesn't even start up as ChiexYosuke haha

HOPE YOU ENJOY.

Prologue

As the world would have it, time moved on. And yet, the cherry blossoms fell the same way they did that day, when Yu Narukami, the silent hero of Inaba, left, the reason being that only a few days had passed since then. While it was a sad event for the Investigation Team, they knew that they were still friends, and that they could see each other once more. They even had each other’s cellphone numbers, it wasn’t too much of a problem. And yet, while this remained a fact, the brown-haired teenager was laying down, looking up at the sky… watching everything.

It was a sunny day, with few clouds passing by. Counting them would be pointless, since there were so few. Even so, he continued to look at the never-ending blue above. As a wind blew by, he snuck on his headphones, and closed his eyes.

-          Nightshift at Junes…

He sighed. His father business has been hectic as of late, since they decided to have a spring sale. Regardless that no one quit or took a vacation, the job was still tough. Yosuke looked once more at the sky, silently contemplating his job and the whole murder case. He needed a break, but wasn’t given one. So he had decided to sleep on the grass, as the weather wasn’t too hot or cold.

--

Slowly, but surely, the sky had changed from light blue to deep orange. His cellphone rang a couple of times before he was able to shut it off. He groaned, got up groggily, wiped off whatever grass was on him, took his bag and left. As he walked, he looked at his phone and saw that he had an hour before his shift would start. He smiled a bit, stuffed his phone in his pocked, and turned off his music. The cherry blossoms were still falling from the sky, making the sky seem as though it were dancing the waltz.

He continued walking steadily, on a path not headed towards his workplace. That was the plan after all. To go visit someone before his shift started. He wondered why he hadn’t done that before. These past few days were busy, that is for certain. Today wasn’t an exception either, it was like any other day that had passed. The sky fell in the same way, the cherry blossoms flew endlessly, and the winds never ceased either. So, why is it that he had to visit this person today?

No, he knew the reason. It was because that today meant something. Not something pleasant, but it was a day that had temporarily changed his life, and at this time, no one was going to be there anyways. He started running, in order to see her as soon as possible.

And with that momentum, he arrived. He held his breath, and his heart was beating a bit faster than usual, from the running and from nervousness. But, he approached his destination slowly. He saw the multiple flowers left in front of her, as well as the food and the incenses. He made a nervous smile, like he always had when he saw her, and started speaking shakily, like he always did:

-          … Hey Saki-senpai. How are you doing today?

Alice Lieberg

It's personal, and just a teenager ranting her life out.

Hey~

I'm real tired, but I just wanna let this out.

Have you felt tired of a lot of things? Nothing is new, nothing is fun, it's just rinse, lather and repeat? Yeah, well...

I felt that way for some time, but now it's gone. What's bugging me is all the new stuff happening in my life.

I don't feel like... anything really. I've acted the same way I always have, but it's not reacting the same way. I'm not talking maturity-wise, I'm really uptight on that, or really good at faking it if I have to. It's called growing up, and I've done it. It's just...

Yeah, I have new friends, and well, I guess I've been mean to them really. Or some of them, iunno. And obviously, some I don't like as much as others, but I thought it would be fine that way. I... was childish to think the world thought like me. I was used to the idea really, people I wasn't close with did the same to me. They even talked behind my back, and I found out. Words are empty, so when they apologized, I came back at 'em with empty words.

I guess it is hurtful to know that you don't like a certain person as much as another, but what can I do. ._.

I've had parents that told me I was useless, unwanted and that my dreams won't come true. They even said when they got really pissed that I shouldn't have been born. And I've cried, like endlessly. But I got beat when I cried, 'cause it was a sign of weakness they said. I've grown immune to others opinions, or at least people that I don't care about. That's why everything slips out of my mouth when I talk to other people, I can't do the same at home, sadly, or at least not to my parents. They actually... don't accept me for who I am. It might be hard to swallow, but not everyone is perfect, and my parents are... far from it. Friends are the easy way out, they'll tell you everything is alright, when it might not. And their words aren't empty, considering if your friends aren't just backstabbers, to be honest.

And I've lost friends ever since college. My old elementary school best friend actually. She just... changed too much. And we did keep in contact, it's not one of those "I didn't see her 'till HS was over". She... changed in college. In a bad way. She doesn't care about classes anymore, she tries smoking to "fit in", wearing more... skanky clothes? Iunno. ._.

As for my family, I've tried mending my link to my parents with all my heart, stop blaming them for everything, and honestly, it worked for a while. Until I dunno, maybe my parents were "satisfied" in the change in me that they have the need to complain about everything I do, or am. Like I said before, my dad told me to change my voice, rendering me speechless.

I've also failed my first class ever. *shrugs* It was a downer to me, considering I knew the subject, but still failed.

I've also had a friend who thought I was going to kill her. I... can't interact with her properly anymore. To be fair, she is a depressive patient, so I can't blame her, but I feel like I might... break her if I do anything. I... don't know what to do.

I've also like someone once in HS, but he fell for a... uh... how can I put this in a soft manner? I can't, that girl was a b*tch, even my docile friend cursed, and that means something. ._.

Then someone in college, and I really tried haha. But he went and got a GF, haha. I think she's nice, so so much for the better. :) ((It's what I've heard, I've found no subtle way to inquire about it, so I ask my friends who know her haha))

I'm trying to reason out everything, but it doesn't seem right haha. What I'm trying to get at is:

- I don't hate anyone in this world to the point where I want to hurt them physically, except for that one guy who bullied me throughout elementary school and half of high school. He stopped when I got really pissed. He got... scared, I guess?

- Change is tiring, and growing up is annoying. Sucking it up won't do anything either, will it just pass? I don't know. ._.

- I miss when everything was simple. Well, actually, from the song "Imagination Forest", the words that speak to me are: "The world is surprisingly simple, it's me who's bizarre". At this point, it's what I'll live by haha.

Today was semi-shit haha, maybe that's why I have to let this out. My dad got pissed at me when I said I didn't want a haircut. "It's too long, it's not nice", thanks dad. I don't have half of my social anxiety 'cause of you, I promise. You know what's sad though, I STILL LIKE MY DAD MORE THAN MY MOM.

'cause his mental abuse only started recently. My mom did it throughout my life until I was 17. ._.
Sure, she apologized, but I can't trust her. It's sad. Hell, I was as smart (or am, who knows, we study different things now) as my 3rd sister, who got awards in HS, but people are smarter than me, so I didn't get one. I got an honorary English award, 'cause I have good English (or decent haha, when I don't think, Hell breaks loose), but well... it's not good enough. I mean, she said "congrats" in a small ass voice, but in the car, since she still thought I was stupid concerning my language, she badmouthed me in Khmer. I can't live like this forever. ._. I got an award for community service, but no one gives a damn haha. I didn't really care for it either.

I didn't even invite them to my second award ceremony, I was too sad from the first (by the way, a year had passed, and I was still butthurt). So, I pretended I was going out and left for school. ._. I got awards that time too, haha. Legit ones that they might have liked, like science or math, but I didn't show 'em. I felt that they wouldn't accept it either way haha. So much for being in the elite program, and being in at least the top ten of your class haha. Top 3 got awards, so not me XD

Anywho, I'm sorry for letting this out. I'm just sick and tired of a lot of sh*t. I've released a new video though! Check it out if you like Haikyuu! >.<

Alice Rants: Fire Emblem Awakening

Hello~

Welcome to the rant I always wanted to do! A RANT OF FE: A, what could have been that last Fire Emblem game to be made.

I got introduced to Fire Emblem when I was in High School, and I fell in love immediately. Even if I started with Radiant Dawn haha. Let's begin, shall weh?

Spoilers BTW, don't continue if you don't wanna. ._.

--

Fire Emblem is a turn-based strategy RPG, meaning you and the enemy have separate turns to move on. First you go, then the enemy, and this process continues until you win/lose. However, unlike most of these types of strategy games, when you attack, the enemy retaliates, and vice-versa. The opposing party does not move, but they have the chance to induce damage. 

You also have different types of units, allowing you to process multiple types of strategies throughout the game. 

Furthermore, they tried to improve on this system further. Normally, you cannot utilize two units at the same time, but to further give gameplay possibilities, you can in this game. Doing this gives you stat-boosts, but reduces your unit number temporarily. 

Anywho, this adds new flavors to the game, and everything works really well, so gameplay is really good~ Everything works the way you'd probably want to. 

You can also make your own character. Yes. YOU ARE IN THE GAME. MUHAHAHAHA. You can choose how it looks like, what's it's name, what's your worst/best stat... yeah, awesome sauce. You can even choose your voice haha. It's not highly-changeable sadly, fairly common that you will have a character that looks like someone else's. Oh well, it's still cool. :)

((Chrom, you doofus :T ))

In this game, the more you interact with different characters, you gain "support points" with those characters. And you later on converse with them, I find it cute. The more points you gain, the better the stats you have with them in battle. You can also marry them later on. Mostly anyone you want, it's sad you can't be gay though haha. There's actually a legit reason for that, it's for storyline purposes haha. And no, I didn't marry Chrom (I did in my first playthrough, but XD). 

THIS IS MY BABY. ;A;

*ahem* Continuing. 

((Screw you Lunatic+, go die please))

When you first boot up the game, you get 3 difficulty settings, NORMAL, HARD, LUNATIC. Normal is really for people who've NEVER PLAYED FIRE EMBLEM, Hard for those who have, and Lunatic for those who've finished FE:A once in my opinion. Normal is like Hard, the only difference is that the enemy stats are a BIT higher in Hard, the enemy reinforcements spawn on their turn, and they actually have skills that they are supposed to have. Lunatic is... hard haha. The enemies will have jacked up stats, and... XD I dunno how to go from here haha. It's still fun though. When you finish Lunatic mode, you'll get LUNATIC+. HERE ON OUT, IT'S JUST NOT FUN, NOT FAIR, NOT ANYTHING. :T

Basically, they'll have the same stats as Lunatic mode, BUT WITH UNFAIR SKILLS. LUNA+, VANTAGE+, EARLY GAME COUNTER. I'VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH RAGE TOWARDS A VIDEO GAME. And I wasn't grinding on my DLC at first, but then I discovered that I suck at video games, and grinded at chapter 16. :( 

Yeah, by the way, I was a man and didn't grind on my DLC for the normal Lunatic mode. At least not before I went to max them all out for the final DLC, and that was after I finished the game in that mode haha. THO MY FRIEND DELETED THAT FILE, I'M STILL MAD. I ACTUALLY WAS READY FOR APOTHEOSIS. So don't lose hope. :D

((I'm still pretty sad that I don't own this 3DS))

((I call this choice the divide between hardcore fans, and newcomers haha))

So yeah, there isn't much to say here other than one mode is for people who want to try things out, and people who played Fire Emblem for centuries. I went Classic BTW. Unless I was grinding for supports haha. 

Story in this game. I found it to be strong. For the most part, to be honest. Except for the extra chapters, I find they pulled that out of their asses to make some people happy. :( No offense, but some characters should stay dead. It's like trying to bring Aeris back to life, YOU DON'T DO THAT. STAHP. WE LIKE HER, YES. BUT. UGH. Characters are fleshed out, people have reasons to do sh*t, your character is like LITTLEMISSPERFECT, but don't care to be honest. Admit it, YOU WANNA BE LITTLEMISSPERFECT. I'm sorry haha.

I'm slightly sad that your dialog choices don't really impact the game though, except for the last one. It's the only one that matters haha.

The DLC. To be honest, I don't have all of them. YET. I'm missing 3 haha. I'm getting them soon though. O.o 

Anywho, it gives you more to play with, with rewards or just extra story content. And fanservice. :3

((I WAS SO HAPPY TO KNOW HE GOT FEATURED MUHAHAHA))

Anywho, yeah, you play through them, get rewards most of the time, and it frankly adds more replay ability to the game. <3 

Even without the DLC actually, the game has SO MUCH REPLAY ABILITY. You can skip the dialogue if you just wanna strategize in a different manner. 

And for those who complained that "The Future Past" should have been included in the game, not as DLC, y'all stupid.

I'm sorry, but you've all encountered story DLC before, I'm sure. Plus, remember that this event DID NOT HAPPEN IN THE CURRENT CHILDRENS STORYLINE. Dear God, let them make money. ._.

((No feet FOR DA LOVIN'))

This game really isn't about the graphics, but it still has good ones. Movements are fluid, putting the game in 3-D actually makes for cool stuff, more so when you're not in the battle animations. AND NO FEET. There's actually a reason for this, by the way. The developers or whatever tried to put feet in the game, but it actually looked weird, so they opted not to do so haha. 

Pic of the soundtrack CD haha. Lemme tell you about the music. It's ACE. SUPER. AWESOME. Good composer. <3 Most of the OST names are quote from the game. That's super cute and original. Btw, the music in the field transitions to the battle, it's just so awesome. ;-;

Few clips? Few clips! 

"Don't speak her name!" - Heart-wrenching. Kill me now.

"And what if I can't? What if I'm not worthy of her ideals?" - Still heart-wrenching, what am I doing to myself haha

Return & Purpose Id - Endgame music

"You have power... like mine" - I like calming music btw

Id (Hope) - DLC MUSIC, IT'S SO SEXY

"Destiny (Ablaze)" - <3

"But, Frederick, it's nearly dark!" - Haha, yeah

((Complaints zone incoming))

For my complaints. I know that the English voice acting is good, I've played in English for one playthrough haha. But I still have to say this, that voice bug will be the end of me. ._.

Basically, you can set the voices to Japanese or English, but see, the problem is, when you turn the game off, for some reason, the voices turn back to English. Furthermore, the game still thinks it's in Japanese, so to put it BACK in Japanese, you have to switch it to English, then BACK TO JAPANESE. It's a hassle really. ._.

Also, in a DLC, Inigo's pre-battle dialogue is a little bugged, someone input the wrong code. ._.

I'm just... *sigh*

Oh, and screw Olivia's ENG VA, it's the only one I have a major problem with haha. And her slight personality change from the Japanese version. RIP. 

--

Yay~~ This one is more of a rant haha. Well, I would say pick up this game. It's an excellent one, and I'd most likely rate it a 8-9/10, 'cause it's pretty solid. :3

By the way, I was thinking of putting gaming videos to my channel, just when I get bored haha. 800 subs~ <3

Alice Lieberg

Update. I don't post that often! :D

Hello!

Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't post often. ._.

So recently, I got a bit wishy-washy over League, and took a break. It didn't last long though. I probably could have lasted longer, but I got so tired over the week, due to having to look over my sister's baby. She's not one year old yet, so you have to continue to look over her to make sure she doesn't get hurt. And she's a real cutie pie. <3 And awfully calm for a baby. Anyways, we have to look over her because both my sister and her husband at times do not have suitable hours of work.

Anywho, I ended up starving one day, 'cause I was looking after her REALLLLLL lot, and well, I didn't have the opportunity to eat. RIP. I still love her, but I didn't get to do anything that day haha.

Other than thatttttttttttttttttt...

Well, I've reached level 30 on League, though that's hardly an accomplishment haha. I've also made progress on my cosplay! It's a SUPER easy one, since I wanna be lazy this year, and my friends doing a theme, so I joined haha. I'mma be Lamia from Beelzebub. For those who don't know, she looks like this:

Anywho, her costume is super easy to be honest, so I'm buying most of the sh*t this year. Though, I swear, this town is against grey polos or grey in general. ._. I'm also having trouble finding a pair of white and blue socks. .___________________.

Freaking life. I'll post a pic of myself when I'm done haha.

I'm also going to INDULGE IN A POOL TOMORROW. YOU JELLY?! XD

Hmm... That's it really! I don't have any love stories for you all, sorry. I'll try to get a video out by this week. <3

Alice

Why I shouldn't be considered rude. ._.

Hello everyone!

So yeah, the only news you guys are currently hearing from me is rage. Sorry about that. :T

But yeah, it's not much, but still infuriating. So the other day, I've had my friends over to chill. And it was fun and all, despite having absolutely no AC in my house. ._.

As soon as my friends all left, I cleaned up, went to my computer peacefully, y'know, doing no harm to others. Then, my dad comes in. And please, don't misunderstand. I love my parents, I respect them and all, but they just hit the wrong buttons, y'know? Anywho, when my dad came in, he complained about one of the most useless things that could possibly be complained about.

"Oh, this f*cking teenager", is what you are most possibly thinking, but let's go over it, okay?

What did he complain about? My clothes? My attitude? My grades ((even if it's summer vacation))? The fact that I have a strong accent in my Asian language? Nope. None of that.

"Your voice is annoying, you should change it. Make it a little lower. I'm sure your friends don't like it either."

... how was I supposed to respond to that? I've heard strangers tell me that my voice is high-pitched, yes. I don't hear it myself, I've always thought my voice was low until I heard a recording of it. But really?

I don't fake it or anything, when I talk, I have a high octave or whatever. I'm not doing this to sound cute, I SOUND LIKE THIS.

So well, when I hear stupid sh*t like this, I obviously snap. Though, I should probably develop a higher tolerance to that. ._.

But my dad just kept going, and going. Saying that sounding cute wasn't gonna get me anywhere in life, that I should think about others, that I should be a proper adult, etc.

But it's my freaking voice. Like, WHAT THE HELL?! So eventually, I gave up and looked at my computer without saying anything. I mean, how could I win against THAT?

Furthermore, that day, my friend annoyed me a bit. I haven't been friends with her for long, but she is a nice person. Though...

So, basically, I lent her my laptop, 'cause she wanted to use it. Whatever. But then she goes and complains how she hates the mouse pad, and she kept begging for a mouse. Then I tell her that I basically don't know where the portable one is, like, IT COULD BE ANYWHERE, but nope, she just goes ON AND ON LIKE A CHILD, so eventually, I cave and look for one, though I find one rapidly, I was still annoyed.

And she spoils content for a show I haven't finished. I mean. *sigh*

I tell her I didn't finish it, but she goes on on how it's super interesting, then she just blurts it. ._.

Finally, and this is REALLY MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE, but I happen to own a PS3, and a couple of other consoles. But really, she knows I love Final Fantasy to a ninny, and that I try each one with an open mind 'cause I've been a fan of it for a long ass time. And she knew I owned this one, BUT SHE KEPT PESTERING ME ON HOW OWNING FF13 OR FF13-2 WAS A DISGRACE. Like, please. Shut up. ._.

When I talk to other fans, we basically say which one we like and that's it, we don't offend each other. I like FF9 best, my sister's husband likes FF4 best, my other friend actually really LOVES FF13, but we all respect each others choices. Personally, I find FF8 to not be too splendid, because of the battle system ((if I have the chance, I'll talk about it in depth)), and frankly, FF13 is a lot above FF8 in my list. But I don't flaunt it to the world, attacking the FF8 fans, you know why? BECAUSE IT'S F*CKING ANNOYING.

Whew... that's pretty much all of yesterday's anger. If you read though all of this, I'm sorry, but thanks. :)

Hope you have a nice day!

Summer is SO HARSH

Hello everyone! 

I'm currently dying. In this heat. Where I am, it's currently edging closer and closer to 40 degrees Celsius. ._.

I still love life though, sorta. I'm currently playing many video games, despite how lazy I am. I'm also still looking for a job, 'cause money. 

I hope y'all will have a GREAT SUMMER. When I finish my cosplay, I'll post a pic with my face blurred ((yes, I'm sensitive about displaying myself on the Internet, plus I'm ugly so)). 

Sidenote, "No Game, No Life" is a great anime. Possibly one of the best this summer. :D
