It's canon like a saint.I take that as a high compliment FourthWall. So for quest purposes we can consider that canon?

The reason I picked it, though, is because it is a (semi-) official Strongest Baka Day.I like the date as someone born on 1X/1X Month day myself I do like it because it's easy to remember. If it wasn't for the summer energy appeal to me I'd have gone for that.
Does Cheech get to come with? Otherwise what's the point? We are one of the most powerful people in the country potentially engaged to a prince or (assuming we have won) an honest-to-god fairytale heroine with the world at our feet. While back home the most we have going for us is, let me check...E: Your prize for winning the game is the chance to go back home and not be dead. Winning the game "as yourself" means winning the game with Kid A in Grace's body. Chiaki's your guardian angel pretty much.
lol indeed.
Something may be missing there: either the first letter or, if she still hasn't fully woken up, the em dash."oung Mistress, it's time to get up." The voice was more insistent now.
I beg to differ! In That Other Quest we ran away from home so many times our parents executed several people for alleged kidnapping plots. Some of them were even guilty!<Sensible> Noblewomen can't just go off and run off! Besides, everyone will be watching more closely with our head injury.
I always said Brainy was unnecessary. See, she is half out of a job already!
You are next on the chopping block! Sporty & Flashy & Artsty playthrough, here we come!<Sensible> "Good decision. We should play along with the scenario while we get our bearings."
Fixed.Something may be missing there: either the first letter or, if she still hasn't fully woken up, the em dash.

...and I am starting to dislike Sensible. You are cheering for the boring choices, head-friend. And then you have the gall to rub it in our face!

Now you're thinking like a modern isekai readerDoes Cheech get to come with? Otherwise what's the point?

<Sensible> "Someone has to be the boring one. Boring keeps us grounded. Boring keeps us from hurting ourselves."
<Sensible> "... ... ..."
<Sensible> "I would like to cut loose though, just a little. Only a little!"
Well, we will need you if we want to win the heroine's heart, so deal! Hopefully we can get along until then.<Sensible> *sensing she's losing her audience* We can part hard after we get our happy ending! That way we make sure to get it okay?
Ah, but not being boring gets you grounded. If it's all the same in the end, why not live a little? Er, I mean, live a lot. Unless we become a vampire, then it'd be... "unlive a lot"? But they are called undead, not unalive, so "undie a lot"?<Sensible> "Someone has to be the boring one. Boring keeps us grounded. Boring keeps us from hurting ourselves."
No she's not. She is an accomplished adult who leads a fully self-sufficent life and has a stable paycheck in one of the richest households in the kingdom.I-it'd be preferable if we could goof off and have fun without our lives being in danger but Chiake is depending on us!
In the preliminary drafts, Artsy was Weird (and Sensible was Boring), so that's part of it.So this looks like it's going to be WILD.
…Hrrrm. I find it interesting that creative AND Artistic are two separate stats, but since I'm not familiar with the media the OP mentioned as starting points, I'm going to have to watch and see how all that unfolds.
Actualization Scores are on an increasing curve after Average -> Good. Normally, starting Actualization Scores would top out at 60, but there was a hidden boost with Sporty girl + Full effort, Full throttle that put Kid A on the threshold to greatness.On an unrelated note, why are our Avatar Grades for Sensible and Sporty equal despite a huge difference in Actualization scores? The difference is bigger than some of our actual stats! What are the ranges?
*looks Prince Alteisen's face over* Nah, I'd say it was a pretty decent one!Impression (noun): a stamp, form, or figure resulting from physical contact
Frilly dress acquired and closet sufficiently dug through, you dash into the expansive halls of Claudius Manor.
...
You had more pressing concerns, like how awkward it was to run in the little red heels you decided on with this ensemble. The frills were fine, you were used to hiking up frilly skirts to make a mad dash for the last train or bus back home from a con. But these heels and your stubby legs were throwing off your running form.
I want to know more about the God-Imperatrix. Makes me think of Sol Invictus the Unconquerable Sun from Exalted.Rich velvet banners hang from the wall like soldiers in formation. Each has the family's crest woven in spun gold; a lion and dragon above seven crowns. You remember from the games that meant the Claudius family stood above all other nobility. Yours were kingmakers, dragon slayers, direct descendants of the God-Imperatrix that tamed these lands before Sophia's order.
I can hear Sensible crying out in alarm at this idea.As far as you could tell, in all ways but physical you were still Kid A, so you hoped you didn't have to worry about that.

<Sporty> "If these heels throw off your from, you should throw them off instead!"
You can put the Genki girl in the dress, but you can't take the genki girl out of it."Good idea, me!" You kick off your heels with a jump and a whoop, almost cry for joy with the feeling of freedom.

Emo chan has the perfect set up for a 1984 reference right there. "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever"<Emo> "The shoe'll be on the other foot soon. And by shoe I mean boot. And by 'the other foot' I mean on your face."
I imagine long suffering there from it."Young Mistress!" Chiaki finally catches up with you. You're faster than her even in kid form. "Young Mistress, you..."
Is it amusing that this is probably IC for us somehow?Prince Alteisen gives you a droll look and a long, dragging facepalm. When he's done, his face is a smiling, bland mask.
Lol he probably thinks we did that on person."It's fine," Prince Alteisen says, dusting imaginary dirt off his white military uniform. "It was my inability to control my horse that led to Lady Claudius's incident." He gives you a cheeky little smile. "The Claudius family motto is 'Pay Back Tenfold' after all. I should steel myself for greater retaliation."
"Oh no, there are two of them," Prince Alteisen sighs.Bridgette tears a mobility slit in her blue and white Alice dress and takes an old-fashioned boxing stance in front of her brother. "She's gonna hafta get past me first!"
Prince Alteisen sighs. "What happened to being more ladylike, sister dear?"
[How do you respond?]
