Mirai Nikki: Dead End

Reader mode
[X] Speak to Kosaka. The diary mentioned playing sports with him. If I engage with him earlier, what could happen?

Hiatus
  • Informational
    • Going to update you guys on some stuff. My birthday has come around, which has been nice, and a friend has come over to stay for a bit before going up the east coast.

    Though, during this time, another friend of mine of ten years suffered complications of the heart and has been admitted to the ER. He's stable now, though things are turbulent with things like renal failure and problems with the liver. I'll be putting the quest on hold for a while until things clear up, whether that be for better or worse. So as of now, MN will be temporarily on hiatus. I thought to let you guys know so I didn't just end up disappearing on all of you. This is the reason why. Please, give thoughts and prayers -- I think my friend needs them now more than ever.

    Edit: My friend has passed away. I'm currently in contact with his family to make arrangements to attend the funeral (should they have one) so the hiatus has been extended. I'm sorry for the delays.

    And another thing, guys, please take care of yourselves. Well wishes to everyone.

    • Making a separate post to update you all on what's going on. I travelled with two other friends on a road trip all the way down to where he lived. Met another friend down there a day later. We attended the ceremony and even greeted his family. I didn't think it'd actually happen, but we did it. I even flew for the first time. Wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be. Anyway, I'm back home now. Going to need some time to recuperate, but I should be alright.

    Thanks to all who waited for Mirai Nikki: Dead End to continue.

    We should be continuing in the next few weeks. I'll keep you all posted.
     
    I'm here to update after 4 months of inactivity. I'll just say that my friend's death affected me in ways that I never even thought possible. I don't want to get into the nitty-gritty, but I'll just say that I wasn't in the right headspace to work on anything. I ended up bouncing around medical facilities before any progress was made. Anyway, I'm back to continue Mirai Nikki if you guys will have me. I'll keep you guys posted if anything comes up.

    I just finished catching up to the current chapter and i think this story is great.
    I never was there when you were gone but im glad your back now!
    im wishing you good luck
     
    ok, i am following this now. glad you had time to mourn and decided to continue once you felt recuperated.
     
    I just want to say that I am absolutely down for a Mirai Nikki quest, if and when @Shinobu Oshino ever recuperates from their personal troubles and comes back to continue it.

    I got pumped when I read Vera defying Deus to his face and vowing to dismantle the Survival Game.

    Watched, just in case.

    • Talking to Kosaka could be a bit of an experiment. To get a feel for how one event changes the outcome of another. And while I may find him a little annoying, not so much that I couldn't hang out with him after school. Honestly, playing basketball does sound like fun after everything I've been dealing with.

    "Hey, Kosaka." I walk over to him.

    "A-amatani?" His eyes go wide in surprise.

    His friends struggle to stifle their laughs. I'm not sure what was so funny about me walking over here. I just shake my head. "Hey, guys, shut up!" He slaps his desk in protest. "A-anyway, uh, what's up? Can I help you with somethin'?"

    "Not really. I just wanted to talk a bit because we had time."

    "Oh, okay." He stops. "What… did you want to talk about?"

    "Anything, really."

    More laughter from his friends.

    "Guys." He throws his hands up. "Stop. Seriously, okay?"

    "Sorry." One of the boys lets out a small whimper.

    "I apologize, they're…" Kosaka mumbles to himself.

    "It's fine." I smile. Honestly, it didn't bother me too much. They weren't really laughing at me, it was Kosaka being caught off guard. It was honestly nice just to talk to someone without any strings attached. Though, that's going under the assumption that Kosaka himself isn't a part of the 'death game'. My diary hasn't said anything about it, and I doubt Kosaka is the type to be subtle.

    "How about that weather, huh?" Kosaka breaks the silence. He motions to the cracked window. Sunlight trickles in from the open blinds. "It's kind of nice. Like, you know, for playing basketball or somethin'. Actually, say, uh… that reminds me!" He scratches his cheek. "Me and the boys are gonna head to the park and shoot some hoops after school. Would you… want to come?"

    So, from what I can tell, Kosaka was going to ask me to play with him after school regardless of what I did here. That much is evident. However, what happens if I refuse? Does it just affect my future? I would like to test the limits of the diary, but… I'm not sure I want to do that at the expense of Kosaka's feelings.

    • It's baaaaaaaaack.

    ...and yeah, I'll also need to refresh my memory before voting.

    What if you go along and do something there, enough that just playing the game (as described in the diary) wouldn't be the only thing of note?
    It'd technically still happen, but will the description stay the same?

    [x] "Sure, I would love to. I'm free today."
     
    [x] "How would you feel about hanging out at the arcade instead?"

    Don't want to shoot the poor guy down. Let's try changing the location at least though.
     
    Going to put a reminder here since it's been quite a while:
    Vera's memories are clouded and mixed up, but they seem to be offering a glimpse into an alternate future, or perhaps a past that has already occurred.

    Up to three times per 'episode', Vera can glimpse a history gained from one of the choices or a suggested choice to see what kind of event may play out.

    The counter will be at the end of each post to know how many Deja Vu counters remain for each episode. To 'use' it, just vote with a 'O' on the choice rather than using an 'X'. The vote still has to be majority for the Deja Vu to actually take effect. A 'Deja Vu' post will give information gleaned from its use in the form of a separate narrative rather than progressing the main story itself.

    Deja Vu can only be used once per post.

    Also, you've still got 3/3 Deja Vu, I believe. I updated the post to reflect this.

    • Using Kosaka to test out the limits of the Future Diary doesn't feel right. And even then, I'm not sure what sort of adverse effects it would have. "Sure." I nod. "I'm free."

    "Really?" Kosaka's eyes go wide. "O-oh, awesome." He scratches the back of his head, giving a thumbs up to his friends. Did he just forget that I'm standing right next to him? I don't move, I just gaze at him.

    "... Huh?" Oh, good, he didn't forget about me. Now he's staring.

    "Is something wrong?"

    "No, not at all, everything is great. Haha… ha." His laugh dies down as the class's door slides open.

    "Children, take your seats." The teacher calls out.

    The impromptu recess had come to a close. I walk back to my desk and take my seat. I'm half-tempted to check the diary, but I choose not to. I hold my head down, crack open my book, and wait for the next period to end.

    4/20, Wednesday -- 12:32 AM, Sakurami City, Sakurami Middle

    After having some time to think about it, I don't really have anything to go on. I don't even know if the 'Death Game' has started yet. Thinking too hard about this isn't going to make things happen any differently, either. Honestly, clearing my head seems like a good idea. I'll just--

    "Hey, Yukiteru! Hey!" Kosaka yells.

    Did he just wait for the teacher to leave to do that?

    "You gonna pay attention, pal?" He slaps the desk.

    "A-ah, Kosaka. Um…" Yukiteru diverts his eyes.

    This guy was fidgeting a little under an hour ago, but now he's bullying Yukiteru? Again? Wait, where's Yuno? She's not in the classroom. Did she have to leave early?

    "Come on, we're your friends, right?" Kosaka says, placing a hand on Yukiteru's shoulder.

    "Yeah…" He solemnly nods.

    "Well, we're talkin' to ya, and you're just gonna mess with your phone? Come on, give me that." Kosaka reaches for the phone.

    "Hey! Kosaka!" Yukiteru raises his foot to push Kosaka away. "Get off of me!"

    "Ah, come on, let me see it!"

    Really? This is the same way he treated me last year.

    [_] Step in and defend Yukiteru. If Yuno isn't here to do something, might as well.
    [_] Sit and wait. Yuno is bound to do something to stop it. Maybe.

    Will Yuno murder us dead if we infringe? Let's find out.
