AMALTHEA.

[soulping]

[ When you enter the TV, the room surrounding you is notably blank - appearing something like this. Which may seem odd, until words appear out of thin air in front of you: ]

Today, we're going to go through an interactive story of sorts!

You're a college student who's just transferred to a new university, and you have a week to make new friends and potentially find that ~special someone~ people always worry about having.

Luckily for you, your college has a club fair for transfer students just like you! You're headed off there to meet some of your fellow students and get a better lay of the land.

But before we begin, there's just one important thing I need to get down...who are you?

The student council room, if you would be so kind.

TAROU - EVENT #1.

[inbeta]

You pop into the student council room to see a bunch of students packing up - evidently, you just missed the meeting. One by one they file out past you, but Fukui stays.



TAROU: Hey...you're that chick from earlier, right? The one hanging around Kiyoko-chan? You made the right choice, coming here instead.



HITOMI: I hope so, at least. It looks like you guys are pretty full, though...are there even any positions available?



TAROU: Of course there are. Wouldn't recruit if there weren't, right? The secretary dropped out, so we're gonna need to find someone to fill her space.

He gives you a look.



TAROU: Of course, if there were a candidate that had my backing, they'd be practically a shoo-in.



HITOMI: Would you really be willing to do that for me, Fukui? I'd really appreciate that.



TAROU: Wellll....it depends. Can't just throw my support behind a wild-card candidate, you know? I've got to know where you're coming from. So tell me, what do you think is the most important quality for a politician?

> Having money.
> Having confidence.

DISCUSSION.

..He seems like the type to think 'money'

Re: DISCUSSION.

[goodbyenurse]

[Shaking her head.]

Were I to guess... 'confidence.'

He did not once mention money in either conversation, and you cannot say he has compassion at all. He lives and dies by his swagger.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[unguilded]

Compassion is definitely most important. But if we're trying to just get on his good side, confidence or money would be the better go-tos.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[goodbyenurse]

With confidence comes financial backing, and a confident enough politician makes others believe they are compassionate. The choice is clear.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[unguilded]

Let's go with that, then.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[whoslaughingmeow]

Yeah, it's definitely not compassion.

He still seems kinda slimy to me..but confidence could be it.

TURN-IN.

Re: TURN-IN.

[goodbyenurse]

Having confidence.

With that, all else follows.

> having confidence.

[inbeta]

HITOMI: It's confidence, right? You can't be a good leader unless you're confident in your actions.



TAROU: Got it in one. The longer you spend doubting your decisions, the more fuel your enemy will have in their attack. Maybe you are cut out for the political life....tell you what, meet me in the cafeteria tomorrow and we'll talk details.

You spend a little more time talking with Fukui, whom you feel a bit closer to, and then you head home.
