Villains Are Destined To Die
Ch.3 and Ch.4
Penelope past
Argh!! Again! I died Again! *throws the phone*
Penelope past
*mad* Is this meant to be impossible!? Sure, it's on hard mode, but still!
Penelope past
Raising affection as the villain is tough on its own...
Penelope past
... But if you were to make the wrong choice-bam! It's game over!
Penelope past
*Thoughts* And literally, every game over is just gruesome death!
Penelope past
The game is freaking messed up...
Penelope past
She seemed so horrible in normal mode. But seeing the story from her point of view, she didn't even do anything wrong.
Penelope past
Why are they treating her like this?
Penelope past
*tapped the phone 2x* *stubborn* Come on! Just let me live once!
Penelope past
*thought* At first, I only wanted to get the hidden ending, but now I'm fully invested.
Penelope past
The heroine won everyone over easily in normal mode.
Penelope past
But her... No matter how much she seeks affection, she only ever ends up worse off.
Penelope past
A villain living life in hard mode...
Penelope past
... Who's every path leads to death.
Past older family
If it's so 'unfair,' why don't you go to Father about it?
Past older family
Oh, right, you can't. You know perfectly well he has no interest in you.
Past older family
Not even if you're starving, not even if you're getting picked on in school.
Past older family
Cos you... aren't really part of the family.
Penelope past
So much of the villains' story... Mirrored my own.
Penelope past
And so I'd die and die again...
Penelope past
These d@mn brothers. Ho ahead, keep killing me. You'll get yours in the end - I'll make sure of it.
Penelope past
*pressed the reset button* I should make an in-app purchase and buy affect - No, no, no, I'm not that far gone. Reset, Reset, Reset.
Penelope past
Start over and die once more. And then start all over again. But...
Penelope past
*tossed the phone*
Penelope past
Even as the sun rose, I hadn't seen the ending I was looking for.
Penelope past
Gotta try again... until her story... doesn't end in death.
Maid
Miss, it's time to wake up.
Penelope Eckhart
Is she talking to me?
Penelope Eckhart
Right...Last night.
Penelope Eckhart
I opened my eyes and found myself here instead of my bed.
Penelope Eckhart
No, not myself...someone else.
Penelope Eckhart
And though I hoped all night it to be a dream... This is, in fact, reality.
Penelope Eckhart
I really am the game's villain-
Penelope Eckhart
Penelope Eckhart.
Penelope Eckhart
*wakes up and sits up* *pressed on her arm*
Penelope Eckhart
ACK...!! *jolts up*
Penelope Eckhart
What the...? My arm feels like it's been struck by lightning. Why-?!
Penelope Eckhart
What is this...?
Penelope Eckhart
*pulls up her sleeve*
Penelope Eckhart
*shocked* Needle marks...?!
Penelope Eckhart
*arm throbs*
Penelope Eckhart
(She looks exactly like the maid from the game...)
Penelope Eckhart
(What the h@ll did you do while I was sleeping....?!)
Penelope Eckhart
(Sh@t... I can't speak! So when I don't get the selection screen, my voice just don't work?)
Maid
The bath is ready. Do please wash up, Miss.
Penelope Eckhart
....*goes to the bathroom*
Penelope Eckhart
(Not that I wanted her to, like, attend to me, but... A single shallow bowel of cold water? Really?)
Penelope Eckhart
(I knew this character got treated like crap, but I didn't think about how they'd take shape in little details like this.
Penelope Eckhart
(I mean, there was nothing in the game about needles...
Penelope Eckhart
Ah! *realized it*
Penelope Eckhart
No- There was!!
Penelope Eckhart
(And it just had to be on the death screen!) (D@mn, anyone who even noticed would dismiss those as blood stains!)
Penelope Eckhart
(Was that meant to be foreshadowing?! How could anyone have known?!)
Penelope Eckhart
*sweat* (This game is needlessly detailed, I swear.)
Maid
*knocked on the door* Your breakfast is served, Miss.
Maid
You still need more time?
Penelope Eckhart
(This maid...)
Penelope Eckhart
(I should be able to handle this sh@t without blinking.)
Maid
Here, miss. Sit down.
Maid
I'm sure you're hungry, so eat up.
Penelope Eckhart
(Is she... telling me to eat this? This actual trash...?)
Penelope Eckhart
-! *looks to the maid*
1. Are you mad?! I demand to see the cook! (upend the table)
2. After you! (force-feeds the maid)
3. (eat it)
Penelope Eckhart
(More choices?!)
Penelope Eckhart
(But... I already know these choices. I had to retry this part twice when starting hard mode... Because I chose the wrong answer both times and got game overs.)
Penelope Eckhart
(It's the exact same scene... But I'm not the one going through it.
Penelope Eckhart
(And I know that only one of these answers isn't a death trap.)
Penelope Eckhart
(If you chose the maid suddenly looking pitiable, rush to the duke and gripes about Penelope's wickedness.)
Penelope Eckhart
(Then, when word reaches the older brother, he forbids you from being served anything, even a drop of water, and you succumb to death in this very room)
Penelope Eckhart
( You can't choose 2 either, just as you do. The younger brother passes by as he's to the commotion... and pushes you away from the maid. You fall to the floor, and an unfortunately placed fork impales your neck. You die.)
Penelope Eckhart
(What if I'm a sunfish?) (Even if It was a bit tedious, I could just go back and select a different path...)
Penelope Eckhart
(But this isn't a game. There's no start over or reset save.)
Penelope Eckhart
*picked eat it*
Penelope Eckhart
*grabs the spoon and shoves the rotten soup in her mouth.* (My body automatically-!)
Penelope Eckhart
(This is supposed to be food? Yeah, right. Calling it trash is an understatement!)
Penelope Eckhart
BURGH...!
Penelope Eckhart
(I can't stop myself!) *grabs the bread*
Maid
M-Miss! You're really...?!
Penelope Eckhart
(How much longer? How much more do I have to clear this event-?!)
Reynold Eckhart
*walks in* What's going on here?
Maid
Y-Young master Reynold!
Reynold Eckhart
? *walks over to Penelope*
Penelope Eckhart
(Why does this Sh@t happen to me?)
Penelope Eckhart
(That d@mn house...)
Penelope Eckhart
(Whether it was after class or at the dinner table...those A@sholes never let me see a second of peace.)
Penelope Eckhart
(Their mother died of some illness before I was even born...yet they act like I, a child, was eternal nemesis.)
Penelope Eckhart
(So why, even in this game world, am I...?!)
Reynold Eckhart
Hey, what's wrong with...
Reynold Eckhart
What in the...?!
Reynold Eckhart
*sees the rotten food*
Reynold Eckhart
... You *looks to the maid*
Reynold Eckhart
You were feeding this to her?
Maid
Y-Young master I-I...
Reynold Eckhart
HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO AN ECKHART?! THE NERVE! *slammed the table with his fist*
Reynold Eckhart
A MERE MAID, AT YOUR OWN MISTRESS'S DINING TABLE...!
Maid
Young Master, No! I-I wasn't..!
Reynold Eckhart
GET OUT. NOW.
Reynold Eckhart
Don't think I won't be telling my father and brother of this. IS THERE NO ONE PUT HERE?! BUTLER!
BUTLER
Yes, Young Master? Is there something the matter?
Reynold Eckhart
We have a tramp in need of kneeling. Take her away.
*The servants takes the maid away*
Maid
Young Master! I-I apologize! Please!
Maid
Young Master! Young Master!
Reynold Eckhart
*pats her shoulder* Oy, you all right?
Reynold Eckhart
Why'd you just sit there like an idiot and scarf that crap down? Why not shout and flip the table? You know, like normal?
Penelope Eckhart
(Because eating that preferable to dying with a fork in my neck, courtesy of you) * That is what I'd say, but I can't speak without those d@mn choices*
Penelope Eckhart
(Pink hair... so the younger Duke's son's helps get you out of this one situation)
Penelope Eckhart
(But is it really just that maid who's subjected Penelope to this level of harassment? It seems more likely that there's something of hive mind among the staff here.)
Penelope Eckhart
(And if not for all the major figures in this Ducal house - like this b@sterd- actively turning a blind eye...)
Penelope Eckhart
(... something like this never would have happened.)
Reynold Eckhart
Hey, you're not looking too good. Shouldn't we call the physician?
*ding*
1. Don't bother.
2. What is it to you? Get out of my room!
3. Cut the act, douchebag.
Penelope Eckhart
(Theses again... So I basically always have to watch my step if I don't want to die, is that it? This sucks...)
Penelope Eckhart
(If I were unfamIliar with this world, i surely would have thanked you for your concern. But the truth behind these empty words of yours...)
Penelope Eckhart
(I know all too well...) ... Don't bother.
