Playing Games

🎮🎮🎮

I recently played the Keyframes VN demo and can’t get the character Percy out of my head—well, when Baxter Ward isn’t occupying it.

I’ve been reading the dev blog of Q&A’s to glean what I can about him. So a few days ago I was playing with some ideas about what friendship with him might look like prior to any chance of romance with him.

🎮🎮🎮

“Come in!” came the voice from the one occupied bedroom in the dorm suite. Kimmi let herself in, making her way toward the unmistakable gaming sounds coming from the room with the open door.

“I thought we were gonna study, Pretty Boy,” she teased, setting down her book bag by the door.

Percy braved a glance up from the screen with a bright, flirty smile. “Hey Dutchess. Do we ever study when we make plans to--oh shit!” he returned his attention quickly back to the game.

Kimmi snorted and circled closer so she could get a view of the TV screen. “Going old school, huh Tozaki?” She laughed, watching the screen go red before growing dark. “Shouldn’t you be better at this game by now?”

From the side, she could see his dark eyes roll. “It’s the Legends Edition. So not that old. And I’m trying Insanity Mode.”

“Why?” She asked, climbing onto the bed but far enough to give him some space.

He shrugged though he was still biting his bottom lip in concentration. “Better than studying Organic Chem?”

She laughed. “You got me there. I’ll take PolySci over that any day. Who you planning on romancing?” she asked, changing the subject. She knew there was no way of stopping Percry from procrastinating when he had his mind set on it--no matter how easy-going he pretended to be.

“Mass Effect One: Lia--dammit!” his screen went from red to black again.

She laughed. “Just go normal mode. You know you want the story more than the tactics anyway.”

“And you just want the romances--correction. Romance. Singular, Miss Casual Mode.”

“Yup,” she replied, complete with a pop to her pronunciation of the P.

He sighed. “Fine…” He re-loaded the game and toggled the difficulty setting. “Happy?”

Kimmi smirked. “No. But I would be if~~”

Percy’s eyes rolled a second time. “Fine. Go ahead.”

“Like you hate it,” she teased, scrambling up and kneeling behind him on the bed to play with his hair.

“Ah! That’s better!” he sighed dramatically, leaning back against her.

“I wasn’t volunteering to be your gaming chair, Scooter Boy.”

“Awww, Princess, you should feel blessed to be under me.”

Kimmi let out an undignified snort. “As if, fuq boi.” She smacked him lightly in the back of the head. When he relented and returned to sitting, she repositioned herself, pulling out his hair tie and running her fingers through the shaggy layers of his black hair. She laughed when she noticed the ‘paused” indicator flash on the screen as her companion let out a soft sigh.

“What was I saying again?” he asked as she teased out the edges that framed his face. While he played, they continued to banter about romances: Kimmi teasing him for sleeping his way through the galaxy and Percy teasing her about her faithful devotion to one LI through the series of games. All the while her fingers worked a french braid into her friend’s thick hair.

Until the door opened with a noisy chorus of voices entering the common room of the suite.

“Perse?!” Elios’s voice called out.

“I see Kimmi’s bag, she must be here too,” Deja’s voice added.

Without letting go of the almost-finished braid, Kimmi leaned over his shoulder, flashing an impish grin. “Wanna mess with them?” she murmured just loud enough for him to hear. Percy answered with a mischievous smirk of his own.

“Hurry, get it back on, Babe!” he stage whispered loudly enough for the next room to hear and handed her the hair tie.

“My hands are kinda…busy, Percy,” she said with feigned urgency as she carefully twisted the hair tie around the end of his new braid and gave it a little pat.

“Uh--We’ll be out in a minute!” Percy called out.

The room beyond went silent.

Then broke out into hurried half-whispering.

“Since when have they…um…”

“Do we dare check--”

“No!” Several voices shouted at once.

“I don’t want to know.” That last one was definitely Jamie’s voice.

Kimmi and Percy’s foreheads lightly clunked together as they struggled to keep their laughter silent--which ultimately failed, the two falling over onto the bed in loud peals of mirth…to the great relief of their friends.

Except for Jamie who truly didn’t care one way or the other.

I love this boy

So cute! I love it!

thought about percy in glasses and nearly fainted

May I ask how ruri feels about crushing on Jamie?? I know for many Jamie MCs this is a cause for much panic 👀✨

KJGLDHSGDF it's complicated, mainly because the lack of content for summer and fall so far (i dont like following games that are in Demo state for this reason but keyframes grabbed me by the neck ever since the otojam ;;)

i plan to make Ruri realize her crush around late summer/early fall. No big moment or anything, just her having a really sweet dream being cute with Jamie and waking up like "Fuck" and go on with her day lololol

She is definitely Not happy (not sad or angry either but def not happy) about that, not because she sees herself at the same level of his groupies, but uh,,, because Jamie has a few turnoffs that she would rather not deal with (might go back to sweden after his fourth year, being in the same group of friends, whatever the hell his fanclub has going on). She wouldn't be conflicted if he didn't had that stuff going on, but then that wouldn't be the Jamie she likes, right?

I mean, she's conflicted because she finally found someone she likes again but also out of all the people. him??? She thought she learned something from her last relationship but it seems like she didn't learned shit/hj

I'll make her more or less conflicted depending on how painfully obvious Jamie is when he starts crushing. He's the type to walk into walls for being distracted when crushing! didya know that? At this point of the timeline, Ruri already went to her fair share of dates and knows when someone is flirting with/interested on her, so at least knowing that it's not one-sided can help her a little with being more forward about her feelings.

she learned from the best after all!

In the worst case where Jamie isn't really that obvious or doesn't try to make a move at all, Ruri would probably put a polite little distance between them and let her feelings just lay there until she inevitably moves on (how much it'll take? idk man give it a few months after graduation)

Thinking about this is really funny because her only past crush was sir Baxter Alexander Ward and we all know how it went LOL. Comparing Step 3 Baxter vs Jamie's romance is like comparing a speedrun with a slowburn and i find that really funny

do u ever just have to physically distract urself from thinking abt a certain piece of media bc u cant stop thinking abt it...thats me w infamous

Are the outfits of eveyone going to change over the seasons? I kinda expect the same clothing for every spring (because omg, that would be SO many outfits if eveyone had a new one for FOUR springs 💀) but your ask about clothing made me wonder if we're gonna see eveyone in new outfits for summer break and the autumn/winter terms!

That’s the plan! So when summer comes around you’ll see them in new clothes~

With the excess in funds from the Kickstarter I’m hoping we can get additional alternate outfits as well 👉👈 but that’s a calculation I have to be careful with as it also affects the CGs.

But fingers crossed! I really just wanna dress them up— fashion/style is my weakness OTL

The biggest thing we got robbed was the summer episode in the height of their pinning.

I NEED TO SEE THE COMPLETE SCENE OF THE SHOWERS.

Must have been important…they running at the beach and this one in the ending.

And let’s not forget THEY MADE A COUPLE COLLECTION FIGURE OF THEM WITH MAKKA. Where? AT THE BEACH. Must mean something🥲💖

And you know? IT MUST HAVE TO BE RELATED that picture of Viktor drinking at night. And when he is combing Yuuri's hair? That too. And where does that appears? YES, IN THE ENDING. 😭

I need this lost episode. I need at least the keyframes, the storyboard. I NEED MORE.
