    Default LP Cherry Tree High Comedy Club!

    So I haven't done a Let's Play in a while and I like doing them. So I picked up a cheap and silly steam game and decided this might be fun to LP! It shouldn't be very long. I haven't played very far though so I might fail

    Object of the game:
    Recruit at least 3 people to the Cherry Tree High Comedy Club! You can recruit up to 6, but I'm not experienced enough with the game to go for that just yet.

    Note:
    There is the regular version and the westernization. The westernization is the same game, but the Japanese names are changed and so are a few references. For example, main character Mairu becomes Miley. I'm playing the regular version and not the westernized version.

    Let's start with our intro!

    We meet Mairu and her friend, who has to wipe ketchup off of our heroine's face.

    Mairu has something specific to talk about

    It is indeed! But apparently things did not go so great. Mairu and her old friend/rival apparently got in to a fight. She says they played a lot of pranks on each other as kids.

    So we are treated to a flashback where Mairu goes to see her old friend/rival, who is named Chitose. Mairu decides to call her Chi Chi, a name that doesn't fly

    After a bit of bickering, we get to the core of the issue

    Mairu tells legend of a comedy duet group from the high school back in the day. Our friend Mairu likes comedy, if that wasn't evident from her hair style

    Chichi asks if her and Hoemi are indeed the two only members. "DUH" said Mairu. You only need two people for a duo! And while her math skills are up to snuff, nothing else is

    Without being an official club, we don't get funding or a super cool club meeting room

    For reference, it's March 22nd. Deadline is May 1st. This is already not promising

    Chichi wishes us a sarcastic good luck

    Back at the restaurant, Mairu fusses about Chichi being underhanded. Hoemi disagrees

    I like Hoemi

    1Bibi8g.png

    No pressure or anything

    So wait, do they like meet during the summer and stuff then? Because the school year is almost over and then she graduates

    So now we have to try and recruit 3 of the possible 6 people who can join. It's like a friend dating sim. We do this by making conversation and stuff with them, hopefully about stuff they like.

    P6F7Ine.png

    This shows our knowledge level, which will determine how many points we get during the conversations. We can up this skill by reading magazines, watching TV, or going to certain areas like the movie theater or art exhibit.

    While exploring town, we meet shrine maiden Kusuko. Mairu comments on how it's no wonder she has thighs like Chun-Li when she has to climb so many steps to the shrine everyday. Kusuko heard every word, but asks us how the club is going and gives us some encouragement

    She's also big on the proverbs

    mAPH97R.png

    From now on, we can work here in the afternoons for some spending cash, which can be used to purchase things like magazines or food to reduce our tired level

    Let's see if she has any more words of wisdom before we start our part time job

    Zcmkqnx.png

    Fair enough

    L2Cxj0N.png

    And we made 1000 of the monies!

    The day is split in to 3 sections, morning, afternoon, and evening. Certain actions will pass time to push it towards the next one. So by cleaning, it is now evening. In the evenings we can do homework, save, rest up, read magazines we've purchased, watch TV, or make jewelry for a bit of extra spending money

    So since it's evening, we head back home for dinner

    WhlX4mL.png

    Kaoruko is our dorm manager lady. She berates Mairu for not getting a stable job and calls her a moocher

    Dinner is enjoyed by all

    zMLJTKJ.png

    Hoemi is Mairu's roomate, in case that wasn't clear

    llbxYBJ.png

    So Hoemi decides we should try to recruit new students

    Bold faced lie

    Oh yes, I have 4 homeworks to do at some point. I'm guessing during spring break. And yes, that takes up time. I also have a fatigue level to keep track of.

    Mairu tells Hoemi she doesn't know how to live unless she puts off homework at the last minute. Darn Hoemi, being all responsible




    And with that, we're going to save and do homework. Next time we get to meet some of our targets for recruitment!

    Oh man. I hope you're better at this game than I was. I found like one person xD I was just hella bad at it for some reason. I need to play it again. I'm excited to see how your play through goes.

    Oh I am fully expecting to be terrible at it!

    So remember I said we were going to do homework? This is what that looks like!



    That's my homework face too

    So let's do our second day!



    Awesome! So we go downstairs to greet her and help her move her boxes



    I like how green hair isn't a defining characteristic.



    Hoemi corrects that she's actually her roomate



    Mairu extends the olive branch by telling her that she can ask them anything




    Hoemi clarifies that it's just a dorm and not crime central

    So after moving her in, she thanks us and asks how she can ever repay the favour



    Hoemi once again steps in. But there's more trouble brewing!




    Poor girl. First Mairu and now this

    But Mairu actually makes herself useful this time and helps out the situation, saying rules are meant to be bent




    VICTORY



    And with that we go about our day. One random girl asks about fellow student Haru




    Very supportive she is

    I also go to the school to brush up on some skills



    I won't be posting every time I do something, I just thought the icons were cute to show

    Let's see if Kusuko has some more knowledge nuggets for us



    ....alright

    So evening comes and we head back to the dorm




    She'd already forgotten about the welcome party she decided on this morning

    So after the text box tells me the party and merriment is over



    Mairu asks why she transferred over



    Mairu then decides it is time to swoop in for the kill and ask her about joining the club




    LIAR



    This disappoints our new friend Yoriko



    I'm glad we get to play as such a lovely young woman




    The "I'm-not-pressuring-you-at-all" face



    And she is now one of our targets for recruitment!



    Oh ho ho I love her sweater sleeves

    Anything else exciting before bed?




    Oh dear


    And that's all for today! Tomorrow we start 3/24

    I was really hoping this was going to involve actual Rock Band-esque stand-up comedy.

    I will only be satisfied if you end this LP with a video of you and sharky performing a couples stand-up routine.

    I've got two more days

    3/24, according to the way they write the date

    Let's see what Kaoruko is up to, shall we?





    Darn that Hoemi, being so nice and likeable

    A little ways away, we run in to a girl who is an old friend of Mairu's. Mairu comments on how she's gotten taller



    Oh she looks so precious



    Awkward silence



    Mairu claims she just wanted Amane to answer




    So she's not the brightest, poor dear



    She did indeed




    All right



    Don't ruin this for me Mairu

    But she does, claiming she doesn't want to push Amane in to a club when she didn't even know what the club was and asks her to sleep on it

    boooooooo



    Adorable. Oh yes, she's staying with her grandpa and works part time because her parents are having some financial issues



    That works

    What's Yoriko up to?



    Mairu comments on how pretty she must be under those glasses, because we still live in the world of She's All That

    I don't even remember if I have the right teen movie, but the message stands

    So not much else happens for the day other than me doing some boring things, so

    3/25

    We get to see our old friend Chichi, who mentions that there are camera crews everywhere




    Poor Mairu

    Anyways, wandering around town, we trigger this fun scene




    He's a famous comedian. Turns out he grew up in this town and comes to visit and stay here once in a while



    Star struck Mairu is intrigued




    And now, because I am smart (and know how to use Google), I learn that I should research this at the school library



    You have to be in uniform at school even if there is no school

    So we decide to check the student roster for this young man




    Well she is blonde



    After mentioning that she is, in fact, interested in this young man, she runs out. Chichi makes a mental note to keep an eye on her



    I am extremely turned off right now




    Nothing like starting rumors about yourself



    (his father)

    He kind of dodges it and makes it seem like he just knows him from TV and asks why she's asking. She mentions that she just saw him on TV and she's a big fan



    He says that there are a lot of younger, fresher comedians, and she says it's not always about that but about how he laid the ground work for a lot of the comedy we have today

    It was a surprisingly intellectual 2 minute conversation




    Mairu thinks he knows a bit too much about comedy to mean that, and so he becomes another target for us to recruit (yeah like I'm going to try real hard on that one)



    And that is all for now!
