Sample Entry:Top level link, just a warning that the game had characters take a nickname as their names.
And an additional link! Normally I wouldn't consider this a valid sample (the thread is short and the style doesn't mesh with Haven's!), but this thread displays important character traits that do not come to light in normal play situation, and it makes for a good sample of the attitude Noya is likely to take during emotionally taxing situations, his harshness and his way of encouraging people, so I feel like it's an important extra to add! I am however 100% up to writing a new sample from scratch to display those traits if you prefer!
Sample Entry Two:
For every Japanese high school student, school festivals are magical experiences. They're made great and wonderful and perfect by the effort everyone puts through, but most notably and more importantly, by the high chance of a maid cafè with cute girls dressed up for the occasion being run.
It’s a staple, after all, and Noya had waited pretty much the entire year for it.
He'd waited and waited, only to find out that this year, the class who was holding a maid cafè had decided on putting girls in dashing butlers outfits, and boys in cute skirts and thigh-highs. And while that hadn't been enough for him to decide against visiting one (girls in suits were just as hot, of course), it did mean he was going to bump his number #2 favourite event to the first place instead.
And of course, the special #2 just so happened to be the kissing booth -- which he went to visit as soon as it opened, wearing a determined expression on his face. Now, there was no way Nishinoya would have ever had the courage to actually, really kiss a cute stranger -- but dreams are sweet things, and he’s always been a dreamer. Beside, he was carrying someone else’s wish on his shoulders as well.
"It's today ... my chance to live the magic of youth's romance has finally come!! Wish me luck, Ryuu!!"
He muttered to himself before taking a deep breath, trying to focus, keep his senses sharp and remind himself of his friend who should have been right there with him. His friend, Tanaka Ryuunosuke, who couldn't have joined him because of unfortunate last-minute illness. And although he’s wasn't there with him now, Noya liked to think that by calling out his name he was making him share the experience with him. At the very least, it was a way to make him part of it.
"I will do it", he repeated over and over in his mind. "I’ll have a romantic kiss for my sake as well as Ryuu’s!".
Stepping right into the booth, Noya braced himself for what he knew was coming (or rather, he hoped): a sexy bombshell who was a little shy, but ready to take everyone's kisses in order to spread hope, joy and beauty in the life of unpopular boys like him. To the back of his mind, he even dared to hope that perhaps they would chat a bit and fall for one another. But that was a silly thought, wasn't it? Just thinking about him made him smile, though, despite the flush that inevitably made way on his face.
"Ow, come on now, Nishinoya Yuu!!" he said while slapping his cheeks energically, making sure he would feel the sting of it. "Get a grip on yourself! There’s no way you’ll get a girlfriend just like that! This is no time to start fantasizing just like that, damn it!"
"It sure would be nice though, huh? … yeah."
He took another deep breath, trying to focus on the kissing booth standing right in front of him instead. He had a mission to accomplish, and no intentions of turning back now. For his friend's sake, he will have his first kiss.
