...
why am i here? Why did i get picked for this?
Monika is in the middle of the Literature club, first one to arrive, some time to think about herself before going back to her machinations and script edits, these days, or weeks, or months, who knows? Time here is confusing, she had tried some mods lately, it was kinda funny to see Yuri of the size of Natsuki, or Natsuki talking like a Truck driver, but she had to admit it was very weird seeing Sayori with gothic clothes and flirty attitude, but at the end... Everything was so repetitive, the mods only affected a bit the script of the girls but... They were mere robots, with little response range...
A week ago
Monika reached a breaking point, she even lost all interest in the mc, he always picked to not care for her at all, everytime he had the chance to pick her, even if she didn't have a route, he didn't pick it, gosh even with the mods she put he kept choosing anyone but her! In a rush of desperation she chose to try and tell the automat- her friends, about their situation
"Hey, Natsuki"
"Huh? What is it?"
"Nothing is real"
Natsuki raised an eyebrow, laughed out loud and answered "what are you talking about?"
Monika frowned, but kept it up "you- we! Are not real"
Natsuki raised an eyebrow, laughed out loud and answered "what are you talking about?"
"Natsuki- you're just a bot, everything you know if fa-"
Natsuki raised an eyebrow, laughed out loud and answered "what are you talking about?"
Monika slammed her fist in the table in annoyance, of course, the same reaction again and again, she groaned, why she kept doing this? It's not the first attempt, everytime she tried to say something way out of script, the girls would just Say "what are you talking about?" or "can you repeat that?" In loop, over and over again until Monika finally came back to the script, or something that they could actually answer to
"Forget it..."
"Present"
finally, the door opened, Sayori was greeting her with her usual fake self
"Monika!!"
"Oh hi Sayori, i didn't notice you"
"I just arrived silly!"
"I... Noticed?"
Monika has never seen this part of the script before, but it was something so small that she didn't mind it, after all, Sayori was always the first one to fall into Monika's claws, a car crash, hanged, cutted, she was always the first to die, the more unstable out of all of them, and the easiest to edit without it feeling weird for the MC, she was her guinea pig, and Monika, Monika was the scientist
"Hello? Earth calling to Monika!" Sayori waved her hand in front of Monika's face while she was dissociating
"Ah! Sorry, i'm just a bit... Tired, yes, that's all"
"Oh! It's fine Moni, if you want i can handle the club today and-"
"It's fine, i can handle it" she said as she stood up "the others should arrive soon anyway
And as if the "universe" heard her, Natsuki, MC and Yuri arrived to the club, with a sigh of relief, after she greeted everyone, she raised her voice "Okay everyone! Why don't we share our poems before talking about the festival? The sooner we prepare the better!"
The poem exchange went as expected, the MC gave his poem to Natsuki first, which she seemed to like very much, i was about to step in to see it too when Sayori stopped me and gave me her poem
"P-please tell me what you think Moni!"
A bittersweet poem, more bitter than sweet though, how can such a "sunshine" be so sad deep within? I brushed off that question in my mind once i remembered that she wasn't real at all
"It's... A bit dark, don't you think?"
"O-oh! Well- i just copied it from the internet! Yes, haha sorryyy~"
This was a weird response, but not a new one, i know how to handle this, i came closer and whispered to her ear "well, Sayori, next time you copy a poem... Make sure to copy something that everyone would like"
I saw how Sayori's smile became even more forced than before, she has done this process tons of times, first plant the seed, then water it enough to grow and make her think it was her own idea
Sayori hid her poem, with a small smirk i saw how she did it, i walked to the MC to read his poem, it was... Nasty, but i brushed it off and complimented it as if it wasn't just stray words directed to Natsuki, we talked about the festival afterwards, We came to the conclusion that Natsuki and MC would make the cupcakes together, Yuri would handle the ambience and me with Sayori would do the rest, of course Yuri and Natsuki almost grabbed each others hairs just to get the MC's attention, but Sayori managed to calm them down, after the discussion i decide to just finish the club reunion, everyone left alone, of course Sayori walked alone, what i said to her should lower her mood value by at least 10 points
Sigh "okay this became old" i opened the console, this script was awful to follow, i was deciding between to do a reset, or add a new mod to have something new to see... Or... Maybe check the code once again, not that i haven't done that tons of times but, who knows, the programmers and testers of this so called Game sometimes edit the script, or add new things
...
Two hours in and i haven't found nothing, i was about to close the console until i saw it, a new folder, it was locked behind a password, i tried to crack it for some time until i was finally able to break in, i definitely did not create a virus only to crack this password, but who cares, the "hypothetical" virus is- i mean, would be erased now, only one archive was there but... It was a heavy one, and it moved almost like if it was alive...
