Nov. 24th, 2008 11:40 amPuri's going to grind her hours on her papers for Rhetoric. In case you're wondering why I disappeared, that's why. :P
Dad came up to help me finish an overdue essay. We had a big fight at first, but we made up and got a lot done. :) After I finished my analysis paper, I helped Dad start a new game of *dundundun* Yume Nikki. I failed introducing him to Super Mario RPG and Earthbound, but not Yume Nikki! Not this time! >( I figured the controls would be simple enough for my Dad to learn (his main habit is pressing the keys above the correct ones and I had to show him you could hold the arrow keys to keep walking rather than tap it for each step. XD) and I mainly helped him with directions while letting him explore on his own. ("Why not go over there?", "Try left", "Press Z. But go to the front of it first", "What's over there?", "Oh, try talking to that hand! With the eyeball!") I'm surprised he isn't that disturbed yet; I think I went "ew" and groaned and grimaced over certain sights more than he did. XD If he's uncomfortable, he's hiding it well. :P It's hard to tell if that smile of his is nervous or not.
Me: What do you think little girls dream about?
Dad: Um... dresses.
Me: Yeah, there is a dress, actually. :o
Dad: Puppies...
Me: No puppies. But there are cats.
Dad: Kat?
Me: Black cats.
Dad: Ohhh! Cats. Black cats. Right.
Daddy went to Number Land first (after utterly failing at NASU from the first eggplant), and he found a sealed red dress and slippers locked up from his reach, a dead-end leading to purple sewer water, and the lamp! Yep! I showed him how to use it, and he was quite surprised he already found an effect already. :3 But what surprised me was how quickly he found Madotsuki in the Closet; I didn't remember how I got there, but I directed Dad to check the shorter lamp and sure enough, he found her. oO;;; I taught him how to wake up and was going to teach him how to save when something bizarre happened. I'm unsure if it's intentional or a glitch or not, but when Madotsuki got out of bed, her head wasn't twisted right. oO;;; She was looking at us while she got out of bed, and when Dad turned directions, her head kept moving to the side like a sort of owl trick or Exorcist chick. oO;;; She wouldn't get in the desk (though she always kept staring at it no matter where she turned) so I had to get her back in bed to restore her to normal.
"Okay Dad! Feel free to enter the creepiest door in the room! :D" Go figure, Dad picked the one with the eyeballs and entered Limb Land. ("...Floating eyes?" was the first thing he said) The room didn't seem to affect him as much as it did me (Me going ugh over the Blue Face Door and "whoa" over the kissy face while Dad says nothing) and I told him to check all the hands he could find. (Dad's comment on Madotsuki while walking past another arm: "Well she certainly doesn't seem to mind those things.") "Oh! Go to the one with the eye!" Daddy found Medemaude! :o Puri showed him how it worked to get him back to the Nexus, and referred to it as The Thing from "The Addams Family" so he could remember easily. Showed Dad how to save. The end... for now. 'Cause damn! I can't wait to show him more and Dad actually made some good guesses regarding Madotsuki from the dreams. ("Did she... kill her mother?" "That's a possibility, yes." "Oh, swell." "You were right, Dad! There WAS a dress in her dream!")
Me: *mentioning about how I dread showing him the Scariest Part of the Game without saying Uboa's name or what world to find him in and how*
Dad: *guesses what the Scariest Part is* Does she get eaten?
Me: Actually, she does! That's not the Scariest Part of the Game though.
Dad: Swallowed up?
Me: Yes! It actually happens!
Dad: Is she torn from limb to limb?
Me: Actually, she doesn't. Much worse happens to her though.
Dad: Is she... raped?
Me: Actually, that could have really happened. It's VERY likely.
Dad: Oh goodie! Isn't that nice...
Puri asks Dad what the limbs in the Limb Room could have meant and if maybe it suggested Madotsuki was touched in unwanted places. Hoo boy, I can't wait to show Dad Kyukyu-kun. He'd have a field day over it. :o Or the Toriningen. Or Masada. Or Monoko. Or Uboa even. PURI CANNOT WAIT TO GUIDE HIM TO THE AWESOME. Soon Puri. Soon. Christmas Break when you can distract him from work. Nomnomnomnomnom~ ♥
