Before I start development on the next portion of our game, "Rosario Merle: the Grim Tales", I need to know what exactly I'm going to do. And so, I've been trying to get some ideas. I also wanted more input from Rosario, now that the Kyo-centric part at the beginning is over.

All I know for now is that the goal in the city portion is to get gas for the Lizard Mobile. If I'm going to find Archie and get my laptop back, I'll need my car working to do so. What happens in the story to get the gas, is what I don't know. But I want Rosario to become more important from this point onward.

Rosario suggested that we scare someone with his demon powers, and cause them to urinate into the gas tank. Then, we will have the fuel we need. Apparently, my car can run on urine. Green energy has gone too far. But, hey! At least I don't have to worry about buying gas if we just pee in the tank.

I questioned Rosario about the scaring idea. Wouldn't that give out his secret, and put him under the threat of priests? He just thinks we can just pull a "You saw nothing!" on that guy.

He also thinks that I should urinate, and that puts the tank at full. I don't like the idea, but I do have an obligation to use something from Rosario. I'll think about it.

We also talked about being able to access the Demon Realm at this point. It'd be nice to go get a drink from Toru at the pub. Though I'd have to ask, how do we get to the Demon Realm? Can Rosario make a portal there? His answer was "yes". So, what command would we use to go there? Rosario suggested, "suicide". His reasoning was that this place was technically Hell.

Then, I suggested something. Perhaps the Demon Realm isn't Hell itself, but is simply a small part of Hell, where the demons hang out. The 9 circles are another part of Hell, where human souls are tortured. We can see the 9 circles from the pub, which always makes Kyo slightly uneasy. Quite the Dante's Inferno.

Then I brought up another idea. At some point later in the game, Rosario and I have to travel to the 9 circles to get the help of someone evil. Of course, the first person someone would think of using for this plotline would be Hitler. I could've gone with Hitler too, but it's a bit overdone. It should be someone else.

My next idea was Stalin. He killed lots more people than Hitler did. And though the threat of Nazism is dead, the threat of Communism is still very much alive to this day, long after Stalin's death. As a college student, I should know. I've seen this threat myself.

Of course, Stalin may be the most famous Communist dictator, but he wasn't the deadliest. Chairman Mao killed even more people than he did. So then, I had decided. Rosario and I go to the 9 circles later in the game to get the help of Mao.

Rosario, however, liked the idea of getting the help of Richard Nixon instead. He then proceeded to make an anti-Trump joke, much to my sigh. He may be anti-feminist, but as long as he disses Trump like this, he's a useful idiot to the commies. I did agree, however, that we could use Nixon in our game here.

My idea was this. We need Mao and his army, but we can't speak Chinese. So we need a translator to interpret Mao. That's when we find Nixon, whose learned fluent Chinese during his time spent in Hell. He's had lots of time to practice, as a day on Gaia is a millennium in Hell. So we use Nixon to translate Mao.

Plenty of interesting ideas all around. Guess I better get to making that game. But until then...

Be Right Back, World!
