Day 0

miss you so bad babygirl😭😭😭 (he's 4th from the right)

noah is cute in theory but his outfit pisses me off bad

reina is so hot man. fuck everyone else in this game

i mean, i know i know, felix has long hair so i should like him right? his concept art is pretty hot tbh, i think i dont like this game’s coloring style? i dont like how he looks in color. i liked the manga-style intro of the game but when the colors came in i was like :/ but anyways, even if his hair is pretty, felix is no clavis…. But if i play further and use my improved japanese, maybe he’ll begin to really rub off on me. or someone else, even if i think the rest of them are all mid! ….. i hope there’s some ange and reina events like in duet :’)

angelique is awesome for many reasons, but a pretty decent sized chunk of a reason was that many of the guys had long hair, so i had quite the array to choose from. here? its just Felix... no diversity... no freedom of choice...

where tf is the queen now that i think about it 🤨🤨 and her aide🤨

making myself a cancer (true to real life) with O type blood (i dont know my irl blood type) which was clavis’ ideal… miss you babygirl

youre nothing. (compared to the sacred bird universe)

she does not think this shit is funny 💀

lorenzo is trying too hard to be sexy. might have to beat him to smithereens

everyone continuing the long angelique tradition of hating their fucking job ❤️

CUUUTE

i regret not having a website and liveblogging when i started angelique. my bad for starting with the very last/newest game. i feel i must explain some things

one, this game (and others, ex. the first game) takes place on the Flying City. the flying city is a piece of land that floats in space near the main planet, and on the flying city we overlook a small planet that we take care of for the exam.

for the exam, me and my rival (in this game my rival is reina, who is my icon for this liveblog) ask the 9 guardians to send sacrea (power) to our half of the continent. we can only ask for so much help per day, and if the balance isn't right and the people aren't happy the planet won't develop further. whoever fully develops their part of the continent first becomes the new queen of the universe! yay!! also if theres no queen we all die. also we got isekai'd here and lowkey don't know if we'll see our family and friends on earth again (#spoilers and digression into the lore of the first games if i explain that point further, i think)

to ask for their help, we have to visit their office. it's encouraged that we get along with our coworkers - i mean, the guardians, but we can't enter a romantic relationship - we all have our duties that must be attended to. if you decide to confess your undying love to one of the guardians, you have to drop out the exam and lose the chance to be queen. and then the game ends. do you get it? it kind of resembles a company, and if i'm an aspiring career woman i can't get married - being a mom and stuff would interrupt my plans. if you want to pursue love, you drop out the exam, like how a newlywed may quit irl.

i dont think married couples really do that in the U.S., but this series was invented in mid-90s japan, so you know how it is. (they may not do that in 2021 japan either, so i wonder if the game portrays picking a guy over the job differently.)

just childish

(i miss my priest boy. from the first game. oracle boy? prophet boy?)

i need you.

and that was day zero! basically, normal office worker ange gets whisked away into a strange world and meets another girl from her area, reina, who was also taken here, as well as the butler and 9 guardians… well, 8 of them. one doesnt show up to the queen candidate-guardian meet. so yea, ange and reina were brought here to complete an exam where they direct the guardians’ powers and raise their part of a continent on a planet they watch over. a sneak peek into what the guardians are up to while ange and reina get their tutorial reveal the water guardian Kanata is holeing himself up in his room, upset likely because he became a guardian without being eased into it by the previous guardian. he just. was forced into the job. no adjustment period. other guardians talk about how they do what they have to do or what they must do, noah specifically doesnt give a fuck abt the exam and wouldnt give a fuck if we both failed it… rancid vibes over in the guardians’ quarters LOL. theyre not having the best time.

and in real life, the clock strikes midnight. a new day for both me AND ange! wow!

they keep pulling up that pic of the 9 guardians of the bird universe like im not gonna cry internally every time

are they even still guardians… they might all be retired now… could just be randy, zephel, and marcel left. its just them and a bunch of youngsters… no, lets not think about them right now. this is a luminarise liveblog. not bird universe retirement AU fanfic draft

hello. he can just do that?

why does everyone in this game insist on me going honorificless for them… makes the bird universe seem so uptight LOL. did people complain? or did they just want to cultivate a super friendly atmosphere here (i wouldnt say the bird universe felt unfriendly… i mean, just avoid jules and clavicle and everyone else is chill.)

(and ive never called anyone from that universe with an honorific nor an english translation of it because i, personally, did not consent to participate in the flying city's power play. and no one should get used to it since theyre all about to submit to me in <5 months. but it adds to the atmosphere!)

shes never had a girls hang out (me neither, for multiple reasons such as not being a girl, but lets pretend i have so i can properly pity her) 🥹

hello? guards? hes interrupting girls hangout time too

police?? back up omg

i understand jp enough to know hes hating on me bad rn

omg did he call me pretty *twirls hair*

he looks so mean 💀 so mean that im questioning if his compliment is a compliment. what if hes saying at my age hoping for beauty is hopeless? and im just doomed to be ugly no matter how much sacrea he offers me? crazy if true

kanata is 17 throwing a hissy fit about being a guardian. clavis was 6 and he handled that shit. grow up bitch

you see, the joke is that clavis most certainly did not "handle that shit." although he didn't make it everyone else's problem in an obvious way either. #clavissweep

the animation????? i think they wanted to avoid the implication of ppl fuckin dying LOLL (in older games that's what damaging your rival's continent did. it killed people)

why does this sicko* keep making me sandwiches and milk for breakfast

*cyrus, the butler

felix is mean as fuck 😠

kinda like clavis 🤔❓ 🤤

okay slayyy

maybe i'm crazy, but this cg has an optical allusion going on where if im not looking directly at his hip it looks like he's poking his ass out. he's just standing with his legs apart, but it reeeally looks like he's trying to show off what little he has when its in my peripheral vision

kinda sucks not having someone there to greet me when i come down to the continent, ngl

noa is like if clavis was 14 instead of 32

ughhh its yue trying to ask me out.

no, thats mean. i’ll let him take me out. i should be trying to get to know everyone here instead of laser-focusing on felix. i’ll let him in.

nvm he just called himself oresama. get out

i wonder if reina is so nice just because they wanted someone different from rosalia and rachel, or if many ppl on staff were like. enough mean girls.

i think it might be a feminist thing actually, like they didnt want to make women who seem to be enemies. even though rosalia and rachel end up being super mega close to limoges and colette… But in their games where they’re your rival you only really see that if you choose to, i guess. here you cant not see reina as a nice person cuz shes nice even if youre ignoring her

even after reading so much japanese the past few months, this game’s explanation of relationships and how to change them is SO mucho texto to me. i aint reading all that. either i figure it out or i become queen (losing to reina will not happen)

i can tape off the park with KEEP OUT tape so no one interrupts my park dates. dead

felix asked what kinda movies i liked and the options were historical and romance; i picked romance cuz i figured he (the guardian of dreams) would like romance but he doesnt! he prefers history!! which is what i would prefer too!!! auggghghhhghhhh im never lying again man* . and i think i made the exact same mistake when i was playing the demo too

*chris will, in fact, lie again. although i vowed to choose answers like i would irl, even irl i would lie sometimes if i think being liked is at stake soooo... that said, in this game i think the guys will still like you even if you disagree? with most things, at least. but i'm traumatized by other games okay

i can invite reina to come see my continent with me. lets fucking go?

its funny that theres an option to have an energy drink before i leave the continent so that i can do a little more before calling it quits.

*chugs can of monster and crushes it against my forehead* yea i can do 3 more laps around the park fountain ^_^

shame this game took out the implied murder, as reina would definitely feel less tempted to kill my denizens after having walked amongst them. rosalia would. probably (and im realizing what this means for retour now… damn, those guardians can be cold)

i cant peep at reina through my crystal ball. pervert yuri L

i can go on two dates in one day btw. imagine how many dates i’ll get to go on in one day when i get more hearts! kinda funny asf. and incredibly unrealistic. if i had to go out and see more than one person in one day i’d die (school exempted). if more than one person came to my house to chat in a day i’d die.

bro (zeno) just ordered a BLT for breakfast. what is up w these people and sandwiches for breakfast… im surrounded by freaks…

whyd they name his city Dump... they aint need to do him like that (i can't explain but it's a very SNES rpg name)

also if i misread the suicide bombing thing lmk cuz im still in shock LMAO... did they suicide bomb him, maybe????

i know the guys feel ??? when they walk me home after a date and then later see me walking past their office window to invite another guy out

what kind of potluck is this if my only options for food to bring are sweets… we need a seafood boil

i ended up picking a bouquet of lollipops because out of the options its the thing i would want to eat most, but reina just brought out affogato which i swear i didnt even have as an option 💀 also i failed the first monthly examination. am i cooked?

WHEN CYRUS BROUGHT OUT MY FOOD THEY PLAYED THE BOOOOOO SOUND EFFECT

if i fail next month’s check-in i’m resetting 💯

wait im kinda getting all up in felix’s head tho. aaaaa you mad

dude.
