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

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.

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

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

Fair enough

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

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

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

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.

I was really hoping this was going to involve actual Rock Band-esque stand-up comedy.
-
Sorry to disappoint
-
I will only be satisfied if you end this LP with a video of you and sharky performing a couples stand-up routine.
-
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm I'll get back to you on that one
-
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!
