#(I'm catching up now with the last chapters of Penacony)

Getting ready 💄

Flipping back to part 2 in HI3. I went over to it when I thought catching up would be required to get the free Elysia, but then it wasn't, so I went back to pt 1. But now it really is required to get free gems, so okay fine let's try to get it done. Chapter 4.

Dreamy's single-track focus on "Where's my girlfriend" and completely ignoring whatever Vita's trying to get her to do is what I wanted to see from Stelle in HSR 2.1.

That said, I have just as little clue now what the actual plot here is as I did what was going on in Penacony in 2.1. Why does she need to relive this simulation over and over?

Oh no she's Acheroning me

Y'know if Theresa et al are willing to see Dreamy as a real girl despite being an artificial being they made (right?) why don't they grant that same consideration to everyone else inside the simulation? And, like, not make them relive their entire existence of suffering over and over for (whatever purpose) because that's kinda inhumane?

*whispers* why is Bronya named PROMETHEUS (not really asking I'll get to the rest of part 1 some day)

Theresa getting AMAV (assigned male at Vita)

...who? Is it me? Is this a [Omikron: the] Nomad Soul situation?

also: "I DEMAND NEW GENDERS"

I actually really like real-world Theresa's outfit way more than this weird sleep-deprived gremlin thing they turn her into

Literally 5 minutes ago

It's really annoying how you can't open any of the menus during story missions in part 2. I can't even tell if I'm still in the first section of the chapter or if it's been autoplaying into later ones. (Really hoping it's the latter because god these are so long)

Hey cool, I have learned a tiny bit of Chinese. Just heard Theresa say 好累 (Hǎo lèi) and matched it with the caption of "so exhausting" because it's one of ZZZ Ellen's voice lines (which I never knew the meaning of, being unsubtitled)

Wait didn't Songque just say that Thelema was an imaginary friend in this loop why is she standing there

I thought it was the Age of Girls Bands

say ittttttttt

Same, Vita. This is really boring... can something of any importance happen sometime again?

Now I'm in my element.

Jesus Christ, Vita, I know we were bored but you didn't have to bomb the entire city just to get the plot moving

whoa whoa whoa, wait, this game has combat in it too? Wild.

...well, 10 seconds of it.

okay, so Vita doesn't see the people in here as real. (Or she's playing the heel for... some reason.)

*everyone staring at the appearance of Evil Lady* Me: am i supposed to know who that is?

Dreamy: "Is that me?" Thank you for explaining. Face blindness strikes again.

OH THANK GOD that was the whole chapter. I was so scared this would all end up being just that first little segment of the chapter and that I'd be in ch 4 for days and days. I did it I beat the chapter!

Aside from that... annoyingly got baby-Durandal in the discounted 10x (annoying because I didn't really want her and I was 20 off pity, but who can resist 50% off?), but then I reluctantly figured I might as well try for her weapon and got it in another single 10x! So I guess I use her now. Probably for the best because I had NO physical damage or IMG types from the last few years, so that was my weakest spot.

Still, kinda would have rather gotten Sena in upcoming rerun. I don't really need her at all, but... Sena...
