The Perfectly Normal High School: A Slice of Life Quest! (Defunct)

So, at the risk of seeming like I'm stealing (even more) ideas from @PoptartProdigy, do you guys think that, from now on, I should ask someone from the thread to roll for dice whenever it's necessary?

Because I feel really, really guilty about that last set of rolls, and I would much rather shift that guilt unto someone else. :rofl::rofl:
The Dice Gods have spoken. You cannot take the voice from RNGesus. RNGesus always speaks.
 
Thank you for remembering
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

It was impressive how quickly Yumika could destroy a sense of peace and serenity. The goodwill and love was still there, but the peace and serenity was gone, replaced at light speed by a frenetic sense of hyper-active cheer and thunderous activity. Particularly the activity of shouting. She was good at that.

Nanami tried to pick enough blood out of her ears to hear again as she retreated to the back of the room. She had to keep reminding herself that Yumika didn't mean to hurt people, she was just audibly challenged. Or mentally challenged, a sour part of her thought as Yumika immediately swept into Silas' personal space and began to chatter incessantly.

On the bright side, it seemed the force of her shout had brought about a snowfall. Nanami tried to remain positive in the face of adversity, and Yumika was definitely a love-life adversity. But the snow was pretty, and it was hard to really hate Yumika when Nanami was basically an un-person. Yumika had, to Nanami's knowledge, never tried to hurt anyone, except for that one time but since that was during a weird trans-timeline mash-up super-comic type episode, Nanami had officially declared the incident non-canon to her current self and surroundings. Not that anyone else knew. Or cared.

Nanami sunk back in her seat. Christmas. This was her second Christmas after becoming... A thing. Which would make one think it wouldn't be as bad as the first, but the weeks leading up to it had become steadily more and more depressing as the time wore on, and it became more and more difficult to ignore the fact that nobody remembered her enough to give her presents. Except Maeda, but Maeda couldn't give away presents without alerting the rest of the Student Council to her odd expenditures.

Well, this year, Nanami decided suddenly, she was going to go to a fancy restaurant, head into the kitchen, and eat everybody's food until she looked like a hippopotamus. Nobody would notice or care, so long as she was quiet and unassuming. She would get a Christmas present for herself. Maybe steal a TV? That might be too far...

=================================================================

Silas groaned in exhaustion as Yumika talked about her plans for the Christmas break. Yes yes, Hawaii, yes yes, thirty pounds of cake, yes yes, I'm listening. He'd been up all night watching winter anime, catching up after a rigorous school social life had eaten progressively more of his time. The fact that some kind of weird bug had bitten him right on his wrist didn't help; it didn't itch at all like a bug bite, but it ached slightly.

"Jeeze, Silas, lighten up! It's Christmas! You're totally not listening are you."

Yumika pouted.

"Yes yes, I'm listening." Silas said, looking out the window in a way that said in no uncertain terms that he was paying zero attention.

Yumika pursed her lips before grinning slyly. "Ooh, man~. It's pretty hot in here, huh~? Maybe I should unbutton my shirt~..." She said seductively.
"Don't you dare!"
No response.

"BULL-CRAP you're listening!" She said, smacking him over the head just hard enough to shock him awake and grinning slightly.
Nanami flushed. "Don't you hit Silas! Y-You... Bad person!"
"Ow! H-Hey! I-I totally heard you, I-I just d-didn't want to look like a p-pervert!"
"You're not a pervert Saa-kun..."
"Buu~." Yumika blew dismissively. "I already know you're a perv, Sai-kun! You don't have to hide it from me~!"
"I said not a pervert! Yumika-chan!"
"W-what are you saying?!"

"I'm saying~, that you should show more interest when a girl's talking to you! How are you going to get a date by staring out the window with that sad look on your face?"

"I-it's mysterious! It's 100% Protagonist behavior!"
Nanami nodded furiously behind Silas. It was cool, mysterious MC behavior and if anyone was going to get Silas to open his heart it was going to be her.
"Ladies don't want an anime protagonist, Sai-kun, we've usually got enough idiots hounding us as it is!~" Yumika laughed loudly, lightly punching Silas in the shoulder.
"I'll take an order of Ryuuji if you won't, Minorin~."
Silas flinched. "C-can we stop talking about this?"

"Fine, fine. What're you going to do for Christmas, Sai-kun?"
"Watch anime?" Nanami said dryly.
Silas was quiet for a moment, before looking back out the window. "...There's a two-hour special of Featherman XR..."
"Wow. Do I get a prize?"
"You're watching anime!?" Yumika gasped. "Sai-kun, we've got to get you a better social life!"
"Alright, you bitch, that's enough out of you!"
At which point she fell out of her chair.

"Matsuoka-"

"Sorry, I- Grk!" Yumika suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and started wrestling with someone.
"THIS BITCH HIT MY YAN-YAN BUTTON! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!"
"Stop shouting! Matsuoka, are you okay?!"

Yumika managed to throw off someone, and then stood up. "Sorry, Sai-kun. It must have been a bad fall."
"Yeah, gave you brain damage."
Silas sighed. "Should we go to the nurses office?"
"Oh no, she'll probably be afraid the nurse will find her implants!"
Yumika shook her head, blushed, and leaned in. "I don't want the nurse to find out about... well, my implants..."
"Oh woah, what? What?! I was just... what?!"
Silas balked. "What?"

Yumika blushed, quietly looping her arm around the small girl by her side.
"...Sorry."
Silas shook his head. "Anyway, Merry Christmas."

That brought Yumika back to her old self. "Merry Christmas, Sai-kun! Here..." Yumika produced a trio of small presents from her bag, and set them on the table. Silas picked up one of them, checking the tag and confirming it was his.
Nanami, trembling, opened the tag on another present and quickly snatched it up.
"Yumika..."

Yumika grinned widely. "Merry Christmas, Sai-kun! Don't worry about not getting me anything - I figured this would be a surprise anyway."
Nanami opened her box, to reveal a small charm-like camera on a string. From the camera hung a small plate, enscribed with the words 'Best Friends Forever' in the polished pewter.
Silas nodded numbly, looking at the little figure in the box. "Thank you."
"Merry Christmas, Yumika-chan." Said Nanami, tears rolling down her face. She clutched the little dangling phone charm tightly. "Thank you... for remembering."

-------------------------------------
Lol you thought it would be a Nanami/Silas and Yumika/Silas omake, but instead it was a Nanami/Yumika omake! Ha ha! What fools!

Merry Christmas, SV! :)
Ya'know... Given what we know now, this omake is full of retroactive irony.
Thanks for reminding me of it, Kublego.
 
Karne's Koikatsu Corner: MORE Yumika and Hana

Yumika is supposed to have a Kimono, actually, but for some reason I didn't have one for her. So she's a bit underdressed compared to Hana's egregiously attractive Quipao.

Sleepy Hana, warm Hana, little ball of fur~... I recently found out that I can in fact play with her hair, so it's going to be a lot more kenetic now. First evidence here, folks - Her hair isn't clipping through every object in the frame now! Also, she's gonna have some mad bedhead and wrinkles in her uniform when she wakes up.

Hana, realizing her crush for the first time while watching shitty Ray William Johnson videos on the internet with Yumika.

"Hey, you. You're finally awake. Looks like you walked into that Drama Club ambush, just like us..."
 
Last pic is the best, the old meme notwithstanding. Something about the more subdued colors makes Hana feel more... real? More 'there'? More like a person I imagine she is? It's hard to articulate, but she looks less like a doll there. Also, that contemplative pose and the serious expression, hnnng...

Alright, the engine has proven its worth in making cute!Hana images, but can it handle scary!Hana? :oops:
 
Would me threadmarking this count as favoritism? :D
And what's with that smug :3 face?! Everyone knows that Shinohara Hana's default smug smile is a :<. Like mine! Harrumph!


Thank you, it's been a really long day, after a reaaaallly long weekend, and I really needed something to laugh at.
 
I figured I should make up for being a couple days late on my monthly reminder on the discord.

I'm gonna have to do something special for the 1 year mark when I get to it. Hard to believe Shinohara coming out was this spring.
 
Yup. The gutpunch came in May. So maybe very early summer? I'm not sure when exactly the season changes.
It was a while ago.
 
FITE ME!
There isn't a lot I can come up with on such a short notice, but this shall not go unanswered.

Whawhawha-- what do you mean, "would this count"? Of course it would, it totally is!
It's because I'm short, isn't it? Everyone is looking down on me! Even Nanami gets more screentime than me, and she doesn't exist!
I demand equal opportunities!

Your spoiler doesn't have fanart? unless you're making a joke I don't get...
It's probably that isn't it?
(this is what I get for lurking and only using reader mode for around a year isn't it?)
P.S Nanami: is best girl she deserves more screen time :p

Guys save me, I'm making Perfectly Normal High School memes.

In the interests of saving LuciD some time tagging yet another post, I'm going to edit in some more artsy fartsy renders of Best Girl since it's Shinohara Season (October)







I assume Hana's birthday is on Halloween, because of course it is, even if that day has no significance to someone from Alt Universe Japan
