sun + moon summary/liveblog

sun -

ch. 1 - oh bless alma he tried to talk and the head honcho went SHUT UP! I DONT NEED TO TALK TO A HUMAN and he went from :D to 8l

while the vampire is doing his speech on how humans are below vampires he tries to take emma hostage, to which she recalls the self defense "training" from before. alma starts talking to the vampire, saying he'll hear the vampire out and thoroughly listen to which the vampire goes "its just lipservice". an opening is made and emma is able to not only get to safety, but also alma/daste lay a Beat Down on the guy

almas checking up on emma to make sure shes fine, and she asks what he threw (im guessing at the vampire?) and he responds with the book he normally carries in his initial sprite. she gets worried he threw such an important book, but he remarks its fine since it barely got wet. he tells her it took guts to fend for herself like that, and she goes "??? wasnt that what the eye contact was for??? "self defense activate"????" and he says "it was "do whatever it takes to get you out of that spot""

after that, he goes up to the vampire and essentially forgives them for their crimes though it "wasnt a small incident"

ch. 2 -

i believe emma apologizes for what happened to cinis, and as she goes down to meet alma it ends up karmas the one fronting. shes obviously startled, and he gets a bit snappy saying "aren't you the one who's been wanting to talk to me?" she goes through the previous talk with alma and calms herself down + thanks karma for before, Sorry just experienced the heat death of a start for a moment anyway while theyre talking karma says "What a charmless woman you are" with a soft voice and a smile .Im okay.<- dead

they have a chitchat, karma gets emo particularly about his reason for being + i Assume something about emmas insistence on getting to know him, and he swaps alma in

ch. 3 -

they return to the banquet where everyone seems in good spirits and emma asks alma about what he said before, he explains the vampires situation and talks about how he previously said he wanted to save them

once they finish talking about that, he asks about emmas chat with karma. she doesnt mention his past (karma has told her before in his initial that he altered almas memory of what happened to keep him safe), but she does mention he said smth along the lines of "he has an eye on such a troublesome woman" and almas taken aback going "WOMAN?" (note: "onna" is .quite rude to use normally speaking! alma himself never refers to emma as such but karma refers to alma as "That fool" and p much refers to everyone as some form of idiot so it lines up)

GHGHHHHHHH HE HANDS HER ONE OF THE RED FLOWERS GETS CLOSE AND SAYS "I like you!" [INSERT THE CG HERE]

They get back on the topic of karma and he mentions how his thoughts all got leaked to him, emma brings up the concern about him having no privacy and alma states he doesnt really mind. once the cg ends, it shifts attention to the orchestras music and alma invites her to a dance

moon -

ch. 1 my friend just wished me luck on surviving because i got wiped out from sun route cg im gonna try to be comprehensible for the sake of making this liveblog readable

starts off around where ch. 5 of the initial stories ended, they're discussing how to get emma out of there and im very certain daste threatened to just blow the guy up with fireworks and alma had to remind him that emma is there at point blank so thats not viable. the vampires blame the humans, saying theyre the ones at fault, and karma swaps in after detecting the hostility and says smth like "dont make me laugh" to that notion

he gives his "punish the sin, judge the sinner" line and manages to make an opening for emma. in this route shes thrown off the balcony by the vampire and is caught by karma who asks "are you in a hurry to die or something?" before pulling her back up the balcony

naur NOOOO HE SAYS THE "im an existance doomed to disappear" THING HERE NOOOOOOOO :sob: RIGHT AFTER EMMA WAS WORRIED HE GOT INJURED SAVING HER ...

ch. 2

opens at the lobby, once again crowded with vampires (and almas back in front), he checks in on emma and asks if her necks okay to which she replies shes not injured and its more like a decoration/badge

mentioning she needed more training with self defense via karmas recommendation, alma gives an encouraging pat on her shoulder (and overdoes it on the strength) and a few dialogues later mentions that if shes ever going through tough times, hes there for her. while she starts thinking over what karma said before about being fated to disappear, alma brings her over to a flower cart full of the red flowers referenced in the story

i assume they exchange flowers, and the scene cuts to emma thinking about cinis since cinis is the child of the head vampire (and as this was a vampire related incident cinis was very likely to be chewed out for choosing his human companions over vampires), and she spots "alma" leaving the lobby all alone

ch. 3

as expected, its ~karma~ and hes outside in the snow with the red-dyed flowers. he asks why she followed himSORRY I FORGOT I WAS LIVEBLOGGING they talk about what karma had said about being fated to disappear and hes essentially trying to convince emma to stop caring about him because he doesnt really see it as worth it since his existance is to protect alma and disappear once alma doesnt need him anymore (so he says), and while shes losing hope she can reach through to him, she gives it one last try when she rememebrs alma saying they think about her a lot and presents him one of the red flowers, to which he says "What kind of joke is this?" and i think she just talks about how she was thinking about him + thinks over about him saving her and how she didnt actually see him as a bad person

DAMN HE WAS RIGHT I DIDNT SURVIVE

[cg] "Really... you're beyond salvation." 'Huh?'

he Once Again starts going on about how hes fated to disappear once alma doesnt need him all while gently rubbing the bandages on her neck, and she Once Again insists that she wants to know more about karma even if it amounts to nothing, especially after thinking about how lonely karma must be/how complicated his situation is

[cg end] he calls her a fool beyond salvation again and smthsmth how shes untouched by filth/how lovely the reflection in her eyes is (Im Going To Die Right Here) and the red snow starts falilng again

alma/karma crimson snow banquet card summary ch. 1-5 liveblog style (take a lot of this with a grain of salt kaku is Struggling today

ch. 1 - opens with the banquet starting and alma and my boy went HAM on the roast beef. emma is ENAMORED with how much he ate in like 5 minutes of the buffet starting im in love really. emma starts reflecting back on when they were assigned the mission to find the culprit behind the attacks on people. while they discuss it, alma says something along the lines of "when we find the culprit, i'll have a talk with them to find out why they did it", his usual "ill reform them" talk.

HE SUDDENLY GETS CLOSE TO EMMA AND IF IM READING RIGHT STROKES HER HAIR? it was in an attempt to get her to relax but :sob: goodness boy. i think he complimented her clothes as well and mentioned he has a hard time figuring whats good and whats not, and he ended up happy emma was smiling

they get back on the topic of what he mentioned before (reforming them) and the chapter ends as he saIM SORRY. LOST MY TRIAN OF THOUGHT. I LEFT MY PHONE OPEN TO CH. 2 AND IT OPENED WITH .A NOISE .

ch. 2 - ANYWAY

OH. OH MY GOD. CONTEXT DIDNT MAKE IT ANY BETTER. IM ASSUMING IT OPENED ON HIM DRUNK AND LAYING IN BED AND HE HUGGED EMMA FROM BEHIND WHILE GOING "Heeey, Emmaaa~" NEAR HER EAR (EMMAS NAME BEING REPLACED WITH PLAYER NAME OBV)

i was right he did get drunk and he pretty much dragged emma into the guest bedroom with him. mentioning going to bed and emmas trying to get him to at least take his coat off and shower and i believe he gets it confused with a confession

while emmas trying to get him to take stuff seriously, i think hes already fallen asleep and starts talking about food (?), and i think dialogue suggests he pretty much conked out the moment he flopped onto the bed.

he starts talking about a good smellDID HE JUST SNIFF EMMA?????????WHERE AM I. OH MY GOD!HE SNIFFED THE NAPE OF HER NECK!!!IM GONNA FUCKING DIE!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!KARMA!!!!!!!HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

OH THANK FUCK KARMA WA SLIKE "the hell are you Doing ." AND TOLD EMMA TO MIND HER DISTANCE HELP MEEEEEE. emma thanks karma for saving her from that situation (ME TOO. ME TOO!!) and they do the explanation that alma has DID/karma is an alter they did in the event story, emma goes "oh is this a chance for us to talk?"

picking "it's been a while" causes karma to comment that he hasnt fronted near emma in a while, she asks why hes out now since he only fronts if he has something to do, and he very grouchily says "I don't feel the need to answer that. Did I not tell you before to refrain from prying into my business?" and he reminds her they came to the castle to investigate, not have pointless conversations/overindulge. emma says she doesnt think her talk with karma is pointless, surprising him. after a moment karma ends up talking back to emma commenting on the fact she carelessly let herself end up alone in a room with a man and she runs out of the room primarily because she finds it difficult to actually Talk to karma

ch. 3 - after what i think was consdiered an unsuccessful attempt to talk to karma, alma returns (NO LONGER DRUNK.) he apologizes for having emma need to help him

alma ends up playfighting (?) with emma where she asks "whats with the sudden self defense practice" and he tells her she was making a face like something was caught in her throat and some moving around would refresh her. he ends up going a bit too far and nearly topples emma over, where he catches her midfall (and he comments on how light she is only for her to comment "no youre just Really Strong")

ch. 4 - they go back to looking for the culprit of the attacks

they stop to look at paintings, and i believe they ran into a painting of the flowers cinis mentioned in the event story (originally white, they turn red and are part of a "ritual" meant to strengthen a bond between two people)

WHILE THEYRE TALKING ABOUT KARMA ALMA JUST GOES "hey. can i hug you?" WITH A SERIOUS FACE. THIS MAN..

he comments saying he suddenly thought about wanting to take good care of emma hawbhsbdg

ch. 5 - they start talking, more specifically trying to figure out how to talk to karma without driving him away, especially since apparently alma was pretty close to rolling over on top of emma and crushing her. he tells her she shouldve just left him there, since its common for the houndsweepers to be left alone when theyre dead drunk

while they're talking in a hall, cinis finds the both of them and brings them out to the balcony to see the red snowfall. cinis comments on the ritual for "Vow of love". after they both take a moment VAMPIRE ATTACK!!!!cloud of BATS!!!!!!!yeah
