[ so... guess who spent some of his credits on a smartphone?

guess who discovered certain apps?

guess who hasn't left his apartment all day? ]

Has anyone else been playing Hate Die? I seem to be kind of stuck on Pacifist War on expert mode. It's the rush toward the end that always gets me.

So... any advice?

[ there's a pause. ]

Oh, sorry, just one other thing. Creature Crossing: Compartment Complex... Apparently the app is still pretty new, but I can't decide how I feel about it. I mean, the animals demand constant favors, need you to build certain sets of furniture just to come visit your complex, and then it all goes to waste afterward? Talk about being used and abused.

Okay, I guess that would be a fair assumption.

... Do you want to exchange friend codes?

[ehhhh...]

If we do, you're not going to think we're friends, right? It has nothing to do with friendship.

[ jude sighs to himself and shakes his head in mild exasperation, not that lalli is there to see it. ]

Sure, sure. Strictly for bonus points. My impure team especially could use a major score boost.

[Ha. ...not that his impure team is particularly great, either. He's really been focusing on the lame units to help his attack on Pacifist War.]

Fine.

[enjoy this string of jargon]

[ jude tosses one right back at him. ]

And... added! Now I'll go ahead and give this another shot. I've been waiting for my hate points to refill for what seems like forever.

[Lalli grunts vaguely.]

They give you a lot at the beginning because you keep leveling up. Have you been wasting them?

I was doing just fine until I got stuck where I am, so I'm not sure whether or not to call it a waste...

I'm trying to save up all the hate gems I've raked in, though. I know they'll come in handy for something sooner or later.

I don't know how I'm suppose to get a lot of them without spending all my credits. I'm not going to do something stupid like that.

[He hasn't been bothering with the extra trash girls long enough to idolize and sacrifice them, sooo...]

You just have to keep stringing together combos and they start to add up eventually. Using credits would make it significantly easier, but... I agree that it's not a great idea.

[Hmmm...?]

I get some that way, but most of it's coins. Or the points that let you buy the fake girls.

The fake girls?

[ it takes him a second to realize what he's talking about. ]

Oh, you're supposed to idolize them, max out their level, and then feed them to your rarer cards for experience points. That'll earn you more hate gems, too.

The one's that aren't important... I don't know, the fake ones.

[The fake ones!!!!]

...But they aren't any good. I don't want to use them.

You only need to use them temporarily to build up their bond. After that, you're set.

But why should I have to when I have better girls.

[It's dumb!! And he needs the space for actually good cards...]

Because it's the most efficient way to level up the rarer girls!

[ this is basic hate die 101!!! ]

But it takes a long time and I can sacrifice them right away and get more space for more girls and make my good ones better right away.

[He understands it's how it's supposed to be played, but he doesn't understand why it has to be that way when it's stupid and a waste of time. Games are a foreign concept, really.]

I'm not going to convince you, am I?

[ a heavy sigh on his end. ]

Well, whatever works for you. Thanks for adding me, though.

Is that what you were doing?

[Conversation is also a foreign concept.]

Well, yeah, I was just trying to show you the ropes. I guess everyone has their own way of playing, though.

[Convincing vs showing ropes... Is this the same thing... Hmn, he'll have to think about that one.]

I thought you were just saying it's right and better, so that's the only way you should do it.

Sorry, Lalli. I shouldn't have sounded so high and mighty. It's not like I've been playing the game much longer than you have.

[...Ha. Now that he feels nice and vindicated, some of the prickly thoughts simmer down. He knew Jude couldn't be much better, and so hearing it said plainly... Yeah. That's right.]

I guess I don't need to work on my score grade, just my combo one. I guess I can use fake girls for that.

Yeah! I know you can do it if you keep trying. Let's both do our best, okay?

[………what does one do with protagonist rallying cries

if you're Lalli, you become uncomfortable and weirded out, rather than encouraged.]

Of...course? What else would we do...

... it was just some words of encouragement...
