bah. i'm to be paired with #7. apparently it's Vince, i don't care. gimme hot girl in butterfly mask plz. i'm told to go do other stuff as the fighters are chosen. yeah yeah, fiiine. i also notice i only got the dudes with me...

i meet Serena, cutscene. she says i should fight on my own. ya know, i agree. she can't find Veronica, audio happens.

SNOOTY LITTLE MIDGET.
tell her S&M dude.
nonono, keep telling her off, stay out of it Vince. she can win just fine and i wanna see this adorable cat outfit get in fights. i figure in my sorrow i'll make some equips, +2 butterfly knife, +3 malleable mask. i go talk to Vince, doesn't matter as he tells me to smash, which i wish could be a thing, and then as i leave... wonder, hm. this area has a ledge. i jump on it, then jump back up on the area i was, behind the building now. i do all i can and go to bed.

i'm then woken up by a Californian trying to be Texan telling me to hit the arena. i get to the fight, it's S&M Digger teamed up with his partner, a humanoid Slime/Frog.

spam Cutting Edge.
easy fight.
i'm also wearing an equip that regens me 5HP, so i'm really just laughing at how stupidly OP this sword is. Vince is... wearing claws? hmmm. so i guess it'd make sense if he's my next partner. cutscene as we leave, seems Erik's fighting the girl. her name's Jade, old man is Rad. don't care. it's a pretty nice fight at least, she's got nice legs. for guarding i mean, you sick bastards.

Veronica trying to berate Erik but really just comes off as jealous when talking about her legs. look, blame whatever god you want for putting you into a loli but i've got Serena over there still in a dancer's outfit. if you were twins, you ain't one to talk.

anyway, Serena mentions there's fighters that are missing and i'm warned by Jade to go check on Vince. i'm not allowed to nap so i guess i've no choice but to check on him. is he the villain? is he the hero? let's find out. i mean if he's the strongest AND if this has happened before... could i get my wish?

no seriously this is like Californian dude trying to do a deep voice and occasionally act Texan. he also talks too goddamn much in the game lore. all of a sudden someone's trying to break into his room! cutscene, i can't leave, and i get to his room only to find it's been emptied out.

y-yeah. who would steal from an orphanage?! a.ha.haaa...
cutscene continues, next fight!
Sinderella and Whambulina are picking a fight with us and they're trying to be hot. sorry, Jade's in this contest, y'all got dropped faster than a space colony in Gundam.

kill the mage first.
melee peps.
i kill her off anyway. she took less outta me. no rest though, straight into the next fight.

Sylvando is competing, of course. guess i'm kicking his ass too? fantastic! what a great arc. he's also really, really into this character and i'm enjoying this, especially the part where i can kick their asses too. Vince drinks a potion of some kind - he's clearly juicing and that's fine - and fight starts.

...oh, i'm fully healed. well uh, fine.
one guy uses boomerangs. the other is Sylvando. obviously i'm killing Syl first. cutscene, next fight. well alright.

Vince juices again, only this time the game focuses more on that fact and even the opponents point it out. c'mon, let Vince be the bad guy. it'd make too much sense: the guy leaving his place wasn't breaking in, he was breaking out. Vince did this last year too. c'moooon.

i almost lose this fight too. i targeted her first, that was a mistake. she hits hard but that wasn't the problem: Vince got hit with Snooze and they ganged up on me. eventually i just kinda wrecked 'em through the power of a big fucking sword and that was that. she went down, he was nothing, he went down, the end.

cutscene fight, i'm clearly doing better than Erik even with a giant sword, apparently my gauntlets deflect attacks well too. i do a cross guard, she stops because of my mark. then the old Scottsman does the same, which gets him dropkicked and we then win as they're frozen.

okay, so they're clearly joining.
we win, Vince is talking about selling the reward and then... heart attack.
CALIFORNIAN GOKU NO.
QUICK WE NEED A TIME MACHINE.

alright, alright. so the good guy version goes Vince ain't the bad guy and somebody poisoned the potion, which is why they broke into his place. he uses claws, so he's one of my next partners. maybe i'll get all 3 in one go? anyway, my party tests me to rest so i do. cutscene.

Rab! i actually like this guy's accent a lot. solid Scot.
Jade's missing? how?
...i saved right before this too so i can actually say no. i forgot to save before Vince told me to sleep over but here...

No.
No.
okay, so he loops. gotcha.

i gotta go to the orphanage now? alright.
the plot twist here would be that potion was REALLY a potion to unlock power but at the cost of humanity; he's finally crossed that line so a demon is taking over his body. Jade went to go fight it, lost, got kidnapped, and now i gotta go kick his ass. Vince: the ultimate villain of the Octogan.
...oh, i'm actually not far off based off NPC near save point, he says that Vince has been chugging that before fights for years and whatever it is ain't juice.
