derp?

[Kotonoha]

The most exciting day of the (Internet) year has finally come.

[Tobias]

whats the derp speak say?

[terraablaze]

Yes tell us!
We Illiterate barbarians must, nay, have a right to be serviced.
...
Also my internet is acting up so I can not see this rare occasion.

[Tobias]

I doubt its accurate though, whatever it is, april 1st and all

[terraablaze]

Eh
Probably is still interesting. Plus this is Type-Moon, the company that puts canon relevant details in their fan-discs,fighting games, spin-off rpgs, and wacky crossover cafes so I withhold judgment.
It looks pretty at least from what I am finally seeing.

So....what's it say? '_'

[eddyak]

Nice wallpapers. Bad screen sizes, though.

[Canon]

It's.... hm.

Well, so far, the story's been about a witch called April who opens her door once every year on April 1st, and someone comes to try and have his or her wish granted.

Or something. Bit lost at the bit where the Reader ("you") comes in.

It's a story of Witch April who was cursed by God to make all lies come true inside her room. Sad story until Fool-kun comes to save the day and said what I am about to say is a lie - everyone else died in the world outside the room and he was the last human being on the planet. He became the last person to die on the planet.


...Except it wasn't written by Nasu ><

how does it stop being a sad story when everyone dies?

[Tangerang]

so... where's the joke?

Forgot to add pre-text "what I am about to say is a lie"

But after reading over the story multiple times with my literature 101 level,
"make all lies come true inside her room" means more like, "make all wish come true"?
And the real curse is that she can only lie or stay quiet, because her word is too powerful, and she's immortal - making her lonely?
But since everyone else in the world became immortal after Fool-kun's lie she's not alone anyore?

[Chaos Greyblood]

So in other words, is this VN gonna have a similar premise from that of xXxHolic with bits of April Fools?

[Mcjon01]

What I got from it was that the lie was that everything he was about to say was a lie. So it was actually all true, that everyone was dead and he was the last person, but by making his lie that it was a lie true, he reversed all that so that he is dead and everyone else is alive. And immortal, I guess, since he becomes the last dead person. And April can leave her room for some reason.

Or something, I left my dictionary at home so I probably just skipped over half the story and only even bothered trying to skim through the ending.

"I find the joy if life in the hard and cruel battle of life."

Therefore

It's genderbent Kotomine.

It's not a VN, just a short story.

so... where's the joke?

You're the joke. (oh snap)

It's genderbent Kotomine.

Even to the point of not doing it anymore if there's no one to torture?

[Tangerang]

I thought this was their annual april fool's joke.

I thought it appeared early because of time zones.
