>>5781566Welcome to Johnny’s flashback. This is an anything-can-happen pointless flashback, where you, Johnny Ando, will dictate the actions and decisions of our main character (Johnny Ando). The only caveat are time paradoxes; if you sequence break, the memories that you’re trying to regain will stay locked — and you will fail to remember Primavera. All the events within this flashback will stop being canon if you don’t succeed. Have fun!:
You’re below average, nothing about you stands out; millions live in the same city as you under a… Why are you doing this recap? Who cares if you’re a below average student? Being boring is all that people need to know about you. That’s the life of Johnny Ando.
It’s Tuesday, April 18th in the evening. You’re at the <span class="mu-s">Pitfall Arcade</span>. You came here with a couple of your classmates after classes, all but one are gone, you got stuck playing fighting games against each other. Neither of you are any good, but you’re trying to best each other for the sake of it.
That’s a half truth, these classmates hang around with you to sting you out of your money, so if you pretend to be busy playing — they don’t bother you as much. So, that’s why they left. Nothing else for them to do but watch after pestering you gets old. Here you are, enjoying a game with the guy who’s left, he’s the least awful of the group, since together they are borderline bullies. But with them out? He’s chill. Except in the game. He destroyed you.
“Rematch?” Wilvy asks from the other side of the machine.
“Sure.” You keep your answer short as you always do.
“<span class="mu-i">Dear patrons, we are closing shortly. Have a safe return home.</span>” A Pitfall Arcade employee reminds the clientele through the speakers. You didn’t notice how late it is, your dad is going to be annoyed if you aren’t quiet when you come back.
“Tomorrow then?” Wilvy wants the rematch badly even though he won.
“We’ll see.” You’re short on cash.
“Excuse me. I don’t know if you heard, but we’re closing.” Another Pitfall employee lets you know about the end of today’s session. She’s personally talking to each patron in case they were too focused on their games.
<span class="mu-s">How do you respond?</span>
>“We’ll be going, sorry.” Be polite.>“We know.” Be rude.>Ignore her and leave with Wilvy.>“Neko, is that you?! You work here?! What the fuuuu—---” TIME PARADOX. Refuse to play another overly long flashback sequence!>Write In.
