both actually! The Narrative is alive so It enforces Its Will to full Its Purpose (the gaim's plot ), like a videogame, the cast runs around to trigger a scene, they have to say their "lines", since there's no dialogue tree, their conversations are long, has lots of guessing & sometimes very vague, A Narrative Rule: [y chara can't tell x chara something], ex. kouta abt hase "dying", the cast use flashcards, chrarades, & pictionary

micchy is still pretty focused on mai but it's less "mai-san's happiness" & more "piss off mai-san"

abt hase: hase isn't peko bc peko's nominally important to have Something Bad Happen to Him (nothing happens to peko, hase is 4ever bitter abt passing up his chance), hase gets to be an unnamed team baron dancer, hase freeloads around team baron garage, kaito is angry about hase being around & wearing the team baron uniform, zack & peko don't care around bc at least hase replaces stuff he broke (the flat screen, kaito, the flat screen)

A Narrative Rule: The "Dead" Musn't be Talked About in Present Tense, down side: the cast can't call hase by his name, upside: The Narrative uses Censorship to enforce name embargo, The Narrative uses rider music, so when kaito yells at hase, hase's name comes out as *baron fanfare*, zack & peko are Delighted & try it right away, zack: [chanting hase] *MISTER KNUCKLEMAN MISTER KNUCKLEMAN MIST KNU*, peko: [chanting hase] *baron fanfare*, kaito storms out, kaito quits team baron the next day

abt takatora's "death", it's not simple rock-paper-scissors, it's Dramatic rock-paper-scissors, they stand 2 feet apart, fists up, they throw hands like they're punching, it looks goofy, but The Narrative thinks it's Dramatic Enough, The Narrative Accepts, hallucination!takatora is replaced by a toy lockseed, takatora talks through it with a walkie-talkie, they talk abt mundance stuff, but micchy "reacts" the same & reads out the villain monolgue he wrote yesterday, The Narrative Accepts

hase-as-peko add-on: kaito calls hase the Unnamed Bastard, the cast do too, hase tests The Narrative Rule, "ryoji hase", "hase ryoji", "hase", "ryoji", get *Strike from the Shadows!*, so he tries using "ryose" or "haji" or just hase, but it's different see? he was trying to give himself a cool english name like, uh, haze, but he misspelled it, it's actually Hase with a z, The Narrative Accepts (The Narrative has used the "Contrived Misspelling as Plot Twist" trick for years, Its not gonna judge)

hase-as-peko add-on #2: since hase is now Unnamed Bastard & Hase with a Z, the cast willfully interpretes Hase with a Z as: Zhase, Hzase, Hazse, Hasze, Hasez & since Unnamed Bastard can go before & after his "name" ex: Unnamed Bastard Hasez, Hasze, Unnamed Bastard, hase's covered in "Hello, my name is __" stickers, the cast make a point of browsing hase's Directory of Names each time he's around,

kaito "death" scene add-on: yoko & zack tell everybody their ultimate revenge, micchy shills out high-def cameras & boom mics (possibly a fiml crew?), oren & jonouchi bake commerative cakes, rat & rica hold the boom mics, hase with a z, peko & mai film in three different angles, zack & jonouchi are double-wielding phones, their thumbs are going supersonic speed to take pics

kaito "death" scene add-on #2 : kaito yells, cuts himself off, flops over, kaito's a furious "corpse", the Ultimate Revenge Gang decide to take group & individual selfies, the background is kouta cradling kaito with a hand up in a peace sign, from over his arm poking out, you can see kaito's poofy hair & his death glare, the Ultimate Revenge Gang uses their selfie as lockscreen

oh! i may have explained The Narrative's & the cast's relationship wrong? The Narrative is alive & uses & dictates the cast to fulfill Its Purpose, the cast test The Narrative's Rules to figure out a) the barest minimum of effort to progress, b) give The Narrative shit, c) give each other shit. i hope this explains it better!

kouta's blase bc of yuya & mai, his acting is either wooden or Soap Opera Hysterics, there is no inbetween, yuya is such a dumbass, he backward heelys into a crack, mai is Down to Fight Anything & Anyone, micchy is an excitable teenager with a Grudge

micchy mistakenly shows mai his driver, mai grabs it, micchy tries to get it back, yelling, shoving, elbows, poking, toe stomping, shin kicking & keep away ensues, The Narrative doesn't think their "fight" is Narratively Important so it's not timed, they spend the rest of the episode fighting in the background

micchy is still pretty focused on mai but it's less "mai-san's happiness" & more "piss off mai-san"

(hgdfjkhfgkjd sorry about the wait its been.... that kinda day,)

interesting... so im curious about how all of this gets started? like, if the Narrative’s goal is essentially canon gaim, when do people start realizing that it’s there and trying to make them do stupid things? are you starting with canon personalities and extrapolating onwards from there? how do people start exploring the restrictions of the narrative?

so the long zangetsu shin au inspired by long agito by @blood-ritual. here are some rough as fuck notes about that. none of it will make sense. i just gotta info dump it all somewhere before i go insane.

ryoma is somewhat of an inventor but mostly serves as a healer who conducts his experiments on people who need to be healed. because people are willing to let him test new herbs and medicines on them, he’s become the healer with the best success rate. he doesn’t live in any certain kingdom because he doesn’t want to submit to any one leader, he thinks he’s too good for that. he ends up taking in the generals of the opposing armies one night because they’re dying not far from his doorstep and he figures he might as well. they’re staying with him and they talk to each other and when they can actually walk out of his house they have a peace treaty drafted to take back to their kings.

takatora is zangetsu shin aka the god of war and the scariest motherfucker to piss off. he’s very intrigued in this human who managed to end a war by doing nothing more than refusing to let two people argue with each other while they were under his care. he takes his human form and goes to visit ryoma, injuring himself and claiming he’s a traveling merchant who got injured on his trip and wants nothing more than to be healed. while he’s there, he listens to ryoma talk about his aspirations and his dreams and he’s moved by this mortal who reaches for the stars. so he goes back to where the gods live in their enchanted forest-- the equivalent of helheim-- and calls to ryoma in his dreams.

ryoma is like “yeah okay” and packs his things and goes into the forest. essentially you can’t survive the forest unless one of the gods has called you to their side because their magical protection enables you to find the pathway to the castle. otherwise you’ll die of starvation or dehydration before long because the flora isn’t edible and there’s no drinking water. smarter humans have brought food and water with them but no one ever finds the castle through sheer will of force. humans that kaito kumon deems worthy of his service can live, but their only real option is to live in service to him.

kaito is overlord baron, the god of chaos and strength and power who protects the weak and oppressed. he watches over children abused by their families and uses his powers to punish parents who endanger their children. as a child he ran away from his abusive home and found himself lost in the forest. he would have died except mai takatsukasa, the goddess of the forest, took pity on him and cared for him. when he was older, she gave him a golden apple from her tree that gave him his godlike form and powers, and kaito uses that power to protect those who were in a bad place like he was.

mai has always been and always will be. her very spirit and being is tied to her shrine, which is the massive tree at the heart of the forest that spawns the golden apples when someone worthy of claiming them comes along. there used to be other gods and goddesses, but when most of them went bad in a mad grab for power, mai took up fighting and slayed them because she couldn’t have them wreaking havoc on the human world. her love of humans and her belief in them is what lead her to decide that she would preserve the powers of the former gods and goddesses and when humans who were worthy came along, she would grant them the power necessary.

she doesn’t live alone, either. rica and chucky are essentially forest nymphs who came from the tree and they live with mai and take care of her and help care for the tree. they serve as her messengers to the other gods and goddesses-- of whom she is the most powerful-- and they fiercely protect her because her powers are way stronger than anyone else’s are. she shows up in visions only to the humans deserving of godhood.

takatora was a warrior who fought endlessly for the king he followed and he was far more successful in war than anyone else was. he was in the midst of battle to protect a small village and when an enemy warrior went to kill a woman and her children, takatora intervened and nearly died in the process. as he laid dying, mai came to him in a vision and willed him to survive only if he would come to the forest and claim the power that was rightfully his. he was able to make his way to her tree, where she plucked a golden apple for him and gave him the powers of the god of war and the form of zangetsu shin.

yoko minato is marika, the goddess of nature, and she preserves the forest, cultivates the actual vegetables and fruit safe enough to eat, and her being is tied to the nature that humans encounter, as well. she and ryoma become fast friends because he realizes her herbs and plants have a lot of interesting properties and he offers to help care for them in exchange for having access to them. she has a human lover named touka akatsuki.

touka was an archer for the army who flew marika’s banner quite firmly even though most kings who care about that fly banners for zangetsu shin or baron (warlord and strength/power). she and her squadron of warriors were especially well-known for their strength as a unit, stronger than pretty much any group possible, and she made a name for herself because she’d viciously defend farmers who otherwise couldn’t fight for themselves. doing that caught yoko’s eye because it was clear to her that touka not only understood just how hard it was to take care of the land like that but she also had great respect for it and saw it worthy of being defended, so she drew her to her side.

sid is also here. sid is sigurd, the god of lies and trickery and deceipt and basically how to be shady. he was one of the best conmen living and by and large had no great attachment to anyone or anything, he just lived day to day and did what he had to do to get by. takatora and yoko were visiting the human world and talked to him a bit, and sid felt something off about them so he didn’t try to con them and instead warned them about some of the other conmen that live in the area. he also totally noticed a few shady people following them and decided he was going to intervene. sid pretty much believes solely in stealing from bad people since like, they deserve it. takatora and yoko didn’t.

long story short he ended up mortally wounded and mai reached out to him and told takatora and yoko to bring him into the forest. sigurd is on every charm and token that thieves and conmen keep on their persons almost religiously, though sid is in the human world far more often than people would think. he likes to see how modern day humanity is working out.

oren is bravo, obviously, and though he was also a famed warrior who could have become the god of war, he ended up becoming the god of family relationships when he put his life on the line to protect jonouchi, whom he’d always seen like a surrogate son since jonouchi’s father treated him like shit for not being the man he wanted him to be. mai was touched and invited them both to come live at the castle, jonouchi gaining immortality in the process, but oren is the only two of them to be a god. he and baron get along quite a bit when it comes to punishing fathers who don’t deserve to have children.

lastly micchi is the god of death, ryugen yomi. he was always too weak and sick to fight so he stayed behind and did his best to tend to the bodies of the dead, giving them proper burials and leaving flowers over their graves. he and his father had a very terrible relationship because micchi was never who he was supposed to be and his father punished him for it liberally. micchi just snaps one day and fights back and he accidentally kills him in the process, and of course the soldiers try to chase him down because that’s a crime no matter what was happening to him. he ran into the forest to try to get away and mai felt his presence and felt the heavy aura of death around him, so she offered him a golden apple. he resides over death and the peaceful passage between this life and the next, the peace that comes from long illness and painful wounds.

oren’s human lover is bando because bando spent most of his life tending a fruit stand and a pub and he was like a shoulder for every kid who had a bad home life and he caused some pretty heavy strife in his village because he got between ryoji hase and his parents because hase wanted something different for himself and his parents didn’t agree. oren ended up inviting both bando and hase to come stay with him, and he and bando fell for each other very quickly. it was doubly good because hase and jonouochi adore each other.

kaito has several humans who live at his castle, which is separate from the bigger one. shura was his first, a person kaito called to because he stood up for his friends and fought someone who tried to hurt them. shura no longer lives there because the two of them are both too different and too similar to get along, so shura decided he was going to travel. kaito was worried for his safety and he went to mai, and she created a lock for shura to wear on a chain around his neck born from her tree. when he steps into battle, kaito’s protection gives him armor that nothing can break through. he uses this to fight various monsters. sometimes he sends kaito presents.

zack came into the forest looking for someone, anyone, who would help peko when no healers could save him from a deadly infection. he stubbornly survived for a week and kaito, impressed at his strength and skill, came to him and offered him a place in his service. zack agreed on the condition that peko could be saved, so kaito took one of marika’s fruits and healed him and brought him to his castle too. zack likes to explore the forest, which is how he found the other castle that stands away from the rest-- ryugen yomi’s.

micchi isn’t exactly a talkative person, he doesn’t really spend time with the others, so zack finding him is a surprise to him. zack comes to visit him and they talk a lot. sometimes he brings peko with him, it just depends. peko used to be a dancer who taught zack how to dance and decided to stay with him instead of travel anymore, and they teach kaito how to dance.

shapool also lives there. he was the son of a noble who adopted him to have an heir and then who tried to have him killed when he had a biological son. shapool was dying but not dead yet and kaito came out of the forest and saved him and then brought him into it to keep him safe and keep him nearby. shapool adores kaito far more than any of his other humans and the two of them are like brothers. shapool also explores the forest a lot because he loves meeting the animals, and mai loves having him come to visit her.

yuya stumbled into the forest with rat by accident, the two of them on the run from thieves, and they both nearly died. yuya’s survival skills kept them alive long enough to impress kaito, who came to collect them to come tend his home and serve him. they both actually really like him despite the fact he scared them at first and both of them would defend him viciously if given the chance.

kouta comes into the forest looking for ryoma when his sister gets sick and no one else can help her. he heard that ryoma walked in and never came out and even though he knows he has no hope of finding him, he has to try. kaito plans on letting him die as most humans do, but kouta’s dumb perseverance intrigues him so he comes to him and asks him what he’s doing in the forest. kouta tells him his sister is dying and kaito offers to save her assuming both of them would be willing to come into the forest. akira gets to stay with marika when ryoma is finished taking care of her, and kouta comes to baron’s castle.

kouta likes it there, actually. he loves spending time with shapool, who is boundless energy and excitement and joy. he likes hanging out with yuya and rat, who are both easy to get along with kinda guys who are more than willing to show him around and help him figure out how to do his work. he likes peko and zack, who are levels above him and yuya and rat but who never act like it. he begs them to teach him how to dance because he was learning how before he came here and he wants to finish those lessons up.

he’s also the one who starts asking about shura when zack mentions him once or twice in conversation, but kaito is quiet on the subject. kouta finally ends up going to mai about it, which is kinda hard because rica and chucky don’t just let anyone near their goddess girlfriend. kouta swears on his life that he only wants to know what happened and mai tells him about how kaito and shura argued so much that shura decided to leave and how mai gave him special armor that would arise from kaito’s love and protective feelings over him to keep him safe no matter where he was. and he starts pushing for kaito to bring shura home.

kugai kudo is the healer who takes over for ryoma, but unlike ryoma he’s also a warrior who basically turned his back on his kingdom in order to take up ryoma’s work and help people. sid becomes interested in him when he sees someone has taken up residence in ryoma’s old house and he drops by to visit him, saying he isn’t sick or anything, just he’s heard some rumors and is curious. kugai humors him and tells him what he wants to know and sid drops by every now and then to say hi. but of course that betrayal isn’t going to stand for long and kugai eventually has people come after him for betraying his kingdom. sid ends up saving him and bringing him into the forest.

there are also some evil gods from another faraway kingdom who try to invade and kill and takeover but they aren’t important yet.
