Inform the very obvious American Spy that Gunka is in fact just military music, in other words, any military songs, its not even just Japanese ones. Though, the ones I sung specifically were Japanese Gunka meaning I didn't sing anything that wasn't the music from glorious Nihon. Regardless, deal with the American spy and give him to the Kenpeitai and let them deal with it.

While this is going on, consider the possibility of retaking Okinawa via tengu airlift. That'd stop the bombing at least, though, throwing the invasion back first is a wise idea...Regardless, plan for it and also try and figure out what the kitsune spy's sent to America are doing. Maybe they took some scrap metal from the Maine...though, it would have been nicer if the Americans actually made the Maine and the rest of the so called Montana class so we could sink it...maybe they'd blame it on Spain again.

Somebody just won't leave you alone! You'll 'take a break' from your relationship with somebody due to exams, you'll fail, you'll burn in the summer heat.

Remember, after all of this time, somebody loves you.


Find the Integrity within me.
What are you, a politician? Of course you have integrity. You won't have structural integrity if you spend too long trying to heal yourself, because somebody will turn you into bits on the floor.

Create the worst safety violations so somebody would die from them, And check who is you that somebody talked to
That you was general. You create some OSHA violations. Every health and safety violation is an OSHA violation, you know? Safety doesn't matter, though. It's somebody else's problem.

Develop nukes for united states in tme line without nukes
You walk up to the US with experimental nuclear weapons, but nukes were proven impossible in 1941. The US military laughs you off, calling you a charlatan.
You now have a bunch of nuclear weapons, and nobody to sell them to.

Create a new timeline right after one murders someone by shoving a bunch of anti-matter into his brain.
You murder somebody by shoving a load of anti-matter into his brain. It works perfectly.

Somebody is dead, as is everyone else, due to the nature of anti-matter!

become one of the waitresses in the coffee shop. Try to find out what somebody else meant by eldritch
You are a waitress in a coffee shop. You do experiments at home, apparently, but you think you're a bit more normal than everyone else. You hear them whispering amongst each other about "planning to force a bunch of randoms to become murderers:" maybe that's why you want to kill somebody?

Merge with the zebra (it should be easy because I ate its soul) then use my new zebra body to figure out where I am.
You merge completely with the zebra. This is to say that you both become worse than dust, because you've been obliterated.

It's not really in my power currently, being dead, but now would indeed be a good time for Operation Downfall to commence. I would take direct control of the squad, RTS style, but I think it's healthiest to leave it at one body for now.

Now now, let's take questions one at a time, alright? Real people don't communicate by listing off questions real quick without any chance to interject!
Okay though, question number one. This is a coffee shop named Izzy's, which is the same name as I place I went to today but it's not literally the same place. They do serve the same things though. Coffee, tea, various, you know, fancy drinks, and bagels. Oh, and cookies of course!

Buy two cookies, one for me and one for Somebody Else. If she doesn't like it, I'll eat it, it's fine~


(Oh, and I know lots about the eldritch, provided that it applies here. It involves [kittens], obviously.)
Operation Downfall commences.

You learn that somebody else doesn't think we're quite real. What proves we're not just in a simulation, or something more indigified: like a game a bunch of bored people play on the internet? Nothing. But why should you care about being real? If you are fictional, and being fictional is all you know, why shouldn't you accept it? Why can't you use the fictional in a perpetual war against the real, constantly clamouring for an advan--

Stop the obvious humanities major in her tracks. (Actually, she's a pure maths major, but all of her friends are humanities majors.) This place is called Izzy's. Is it named after an Izzy? Is the owner's daughter called Izzy? Actually, it's a mom and pop's!? She takes the cookie, eats it slowly. She nods her head and thanks you. You still have two more questions to answer, though.

"Can you tell me about Reza Negarestani?" "Why do you want my book?"

“Interesting. Do you by any chance have any idea why I fell like I need to kill Somebody. Are you sure I haven’t already gone mad?”
Kill Somebody without thought.

"That's just the starting constraints of the game. You don't need to want to kill Somebody if you don't want to. You have free will, right?"
You just have to make sure your volition is working. You control you, right? You aren't controlled by somebody else?

“Right. I have free will. I guess it was just a random thought. Did you know that when I am off work I go to a lab and do experiments? There is one I’m working on involving a newly discovered parasite that infects a coffee bean, changing its color and making the bean sweet. So far I haven’t suffered any effects from this yet. Perhaps humans aren’t its intended host. Don’t worry. The coffee beans that are infected are safely in my lab. Have you done any experiments?”
See how long it is until my shift is over. If there is still time in my shift, ask everyone in the coffee shop about what types of coffee they want, if shift is already over, head to my lab.
It is 17:15, just out of the glorious 9-to-5. Your shift is from noon til eight (but part time, more flexible), so three hours left on the ticking clock.

You do the same thing you've always done: ask and ask and ask, often espresso, usually more exotic. Some people are smug, demeaning. Hurry up, nature girl! Did you know that modern coffee comes from Yemen, used by Sufi mystics to keep themselves awake as they dove deeper into the arcane secrets of the world? Yemen, do you know what's going-on-in-Yemen? You must-not-be-very-political-then. Makes you want to leave a bit earlier.

"Experiments? Ha, I guess you could say most of the things I do are experimental in nature."
Somebody hides behind their mistakes by calling them all testing.

" When my shift is over, I'm heading to my laboratory. Its in the basement of my house which isn't too far from here. If you come with you can learn about the parasites with me."
You invite Egan to your house. Somebody else looks at you.

Akshually, I'm a Soviet Spy*. Don't get confused. We'll avenge 1905. I snap my fingers. Apply random anarcho-communist propaganda to policeman. One frags the others, some melt into pieces. All the rest change the direction of their murderous intent. Invading Okinawa seems very possible, but everything is surely possible with enough nationalism. Your kitsune spy has definitely stolen metal from the Maine, and also alerts you to the fact that somebody is planning for unrestricted chemical warfare within a week of the beginning of Operation Downfall. Shame it's not later in the wall: maybe metal from the Maine in some strange way could have gotten Spain to soothe your friend's pain, and open up another front?

* don't turn that into an acronym, please...


You've killed somebody and been killed by a fellow player, but how many somebodies are there? There are five of us, and now there are four! One's lurking in Japan, the others are elsewhere. You crawl out of nowhere. Guess you'll have to find somebody to kill somebody.

Operation Downfall.
The order is sent. All-American invasion on the Home Islands, take every port, turn every city you find to ashes until they yield, damn it! Well, that's what everyone's thinking. Egan_BW's squad lands on the southern shores of Kyushu. Somebody then rips a hole through time and space, and throws everyone to... bustling, contemporary Fukuoka? You can't engage in modern warfare here, can you really? You'll have to go back to 1945, and to do that, you'll have to kill somebody.

(Or you could commit a bunch of war crimes. Somebody approves of that.)

Leave early. Head to my lab, and break one of the weirdly colored coffee beans to figure out what the parasite looks like. Take the rest with me, and give to random creatures, observe effects.

Sorry, I don't know about Reza Negarestani. I could make things up, but that certainly doesn't guarantee that what I make up be true. Unless that is in fact what you're asking me to do? Okay, the way I see it, Reza is a redhead, living in southern australia, she's never known what to do with her life, always felt aimless. She doesn't know it, but she's very good at killing Somebody. Could be fate, could be just coincidence, I'm not the type to make such judgements.

I want the book to read it, of course. Often books in such settings can contain certain insights, of the kind that change everything. Knowledge is power.

If you don't mind, I think I'll go with Naturegirl now.

Try and have the kitsune spy go and steal those nukes that they have been hearing about and plant them in Miami, New York, and other large cities on the western coast. Make sure to leave Washington DC completely untouched. Fabricate evidence that the nukes were made by the usa as a way to be able to blame the USSR as to get into another war and to be able to do whatever they wanted with Japan. Doing this, will cause massive unrest and buy time. Hopefully, it'll also make it so we have a better standing at the negotiating table. Of course, keep a few to send back to Japan for study, and also so we can hatch a grand plot involving going back in time and just nuking pearl harbor instead of carrier striking. Regardless, back on the home front, try and let the Commies and Americans kill each other so we can just mop up the rest, but be sure to kill anyone who gets too close or tries attacking us.

Somebody has driven you to the edge. Somebody has driven you to murder. So, you're going to murder somebody.

1. To win, you must kill somebody.
2. But who? But who but five somebodies!
3. Do whatever you want, until you get attacked for it.
4. If you run out of time, somebody kills you. Sadly, somebody devours time and somebody stretches time. Time is putty.
5. But who?
6. These rules can be changed at any time.

(if you played a game that looked like this about two years ago, it was me)

Somebody: 10/10 HP.
Days Left: 30. [14/07/19]
