[Huzzah! The 1 Year Anniversary Issue!]


That would be right folks. This project has most certainly been hanging about for a year already. It's actually kind of surprising to actually say we've been working on this for a year already. I mean, it really is quite a feat for a group of users on the internet to actually invest their free time in working on a project. So, a big kudos to everyone on the development team!

So, today, I would like to present a gift to the people who've been watching this project. The 1 Year anniversary post-new-update-special!

~1 Year: Guesstimation of progress, and what to do next~

A good amount of the story has been heavily brainstormed in the past year. While one would think someone can just pull out a plot line they like, it isn't quite true for the people working here. The people in writing have had to clear up details with one another regarding character histories, behavior, etc. Considering there are 3 different writers with 3 different writing styles, one needs to make sure they can interpret the given characters properly. At the moment, just about all of the major characters, and most of the minor characters have been created.

Writing also did things differently by starting things out by writing the actual endings for each particular character they where assigned to. This year, much of the work will for writing will be in writing out the main story of the VN (Everything before the endings).

I also have to say our Art department has also gone beyond the call of duty on occasion when it comes to making art. I swear that they've been pumping out artwork like mad! Thanks to them, they've drawn several designs for the characters. Art has also been a bit of a morale booster, as there is no better sign of progress then seeing it for yourself.
This year, art is to make a start on backgrounds, and making finished character sprites. As more of the story starts to get written, they'll also be tasked with drawing illustrations for important parts of the Visual Novel.

Personally, I have to give a slight nod of apology to music. Unfortunately, things have terribly stunted for them in terms of progress. Mostly because any need for music at such an early stage of development made any requests very vague. But with the progress we've made so far, we can finally start making requests. Our music department is composed of members with skill and talent as well as impatience to get things moving. This year, we're starting music off by having them meet with each other and decide things such as instruments to use, and some rough outlines of some of the music they intend to make.

And finally, good old coding. Also on the same situation with music, these guys have been somewhat on standby as well. Similarly because we didn't have anything to code considering everything was still starting out. However, as portions of the script are finalized, they will find there will be much work do be done! My hope is that this year we can have some of the script done for coding to work around with. Some of the first things they'll be working on will be things like making a main menu, and seeing of they can work some of my assorted requests that ponder the capacities of the Renpy Code.

For smaller but still important notes, this year we also made a website! While we still don't have a ton of media and such to fill it at the moment, it is still a good thing to have set up! The best thing about it right now is that you can view all of the artwork that's been produced in one convenient art gallery.


Well that does it for the other departments. People interested in things such as the voice acting role will still be in waiting (sorry!) until a sufficient portion of the Visual Novel's script has been written down. When that time comes, expect us to release portions of the script for people to use for auditions.

Thanks for checking by! As always, volunteers are still in demand for this project! You can always PM me or even post on the thread here. But to sum it up, thanks for letting us inhabit the other section to keep this project progressing Gendou.com!

~Some New Characters, Aya's Friends~

Melanie Rogers "Lax? Do you by any chance know what 'Fatal System Error' means?"
Age: 16
Occupation: Student
A one of the taller girls in Aya's class, she also ran for track in her first two years in high school. She apparently has known Aya since they where in grade school. She's an overall nice girl who with lots of energy thanks to a high metabolism. Despite this, she doesn't make a large amount of friends, as she is somewhat shy in nature.

Nonetheless, she treasures the few friendships and acquaintances she has. Aside from running, she also likes take long naps. For that reason she is a bit on the lazy side. She's also taken a liking to using the computer and going about the internet to look up cool and random facts, but has bad tendencies of downloading bad files.

She did her best to get Aya reacquainted with general high school life. She also helps Aya with homework when Lax isn't readily available. Since she quit the track and field team this year, she has lots of free time. However, she also faces the great task of refilling Aya on all of their inside jokes.


Felicity Maximilian "I would like my hamburger cooked to medium rare. Also make sure that the ice takes up no less than an 8th of the total space in the cup. I would also like that you toast the bread until it has it's own subtle flakiness. As for the fries..."
Age: 15
Occupation: Student - Student Government Committee Member
A upright girl with the full faith of the United States stock market backing her household income, she is one of the wealthier kids in the school. In terms of extracurricular, she is also a part of the school's student government committee. Which has recently dealt with matters pertaining to the proxy wars going on between the Library and Hacking Club factions in the school.

Given her upbringing, she has that sort of high class attitude that can be insulting on occasion. Felicity is also very critical of herself and to others. Particularly, she is well known for making outrageous requests whenever they go to eat fast food. Despite being a freshman, she is well respected in school politics for more than just her predictably massive inheritance.

The summer Felicity graduated from middle school, her parents decided to leave the big city and move to the suburbs to retire. That summer she befriended Aya when she helped her get home when she (as well as her purse) got lost exploring the town. Though she has a good amount of friends, she still holds her friendship with Aya the closest. She jokes that Aya's first reaction to seeing her house for the first time was exactly the way she reacted when she first saw Felicity's house before the accident.


Mashiro Friedmont "So what's amnesia like Aya? I'm pretty sure it must feel weird."
Age 17
Occupation - Student, Anime Club Member
The girl who lead Aya to like anime before the accident. Mashiro is a very social girl who likes to speak her mind. Though she normally hangs around with her particular group of friends, she also goes out of her way every now and then to help Aya out. She also likes to state the obvious on occasion.

She was born on the United States military base on Okinawa. Though both of her parents where of American Descent, they took a liking to the name and decided to give it to their daughter. Though she is a part of the Anime Club by definition, she is also loosely acquainted with people from many different people in the school due to her taking many different classes and clubs. She also ran for the track team but quit after freshman year.

According to Mashiro, she met Aya her freshman year, and took a liking to her. She took Aya with her to see the club, but didn't give off the best first impression when she got caught in the middle of the group's scheduled team sword-battle match. However, Aya took a liking to some of the shows that they screened and decided to come by and participate in anything not involving violence every now and then. The old Aya apparently loved to cosplay, but...

~Teaser Story~

Here's another fabulous bonus! A teaser of the Visual Novel!

click here for spoiler
"Why is this happening to me?" Aya thought. Aya walked slowly, wandering around the dull grey streets without a thought for where she was going or what she was doing. All she could think about was him.
Then Aya's mind burst with thoughts about her, the pretty blond girl with the high-pitched giggle, Aya immediately gave the girl a bimbo nature, imagining her with him, together, she could see them holding hands and laughing sweetly as they walked through the park- he was giving her a peck on the cheek, and she was blushing. Aya's mind filled with red.

"Should I forgive him? Wait, why should I forgive him?" Aya put one foot in front of the other whilst staring down at the pavement, as though fascinated by her own shoes. There was no noise around her except her own thoughts. Leisurely, she strolled forward still wondering whether to forgive him. "I don't need him, he can have that stupid bimbo, I don't have to forgive someone who cheated on me!"

"But, it's him, he wouldn't do that to me..." Aya felt her brain was about to explode with all these thoughts, her head was numb and she was tired of thinking about all of this.

Aya carried on walking and didn't notice the slight glare of lights to her right, coming towards her slowly from the distance. She suddenly stopped, she felt an epiphany, "wait, I'm right! It's him! He wouldn't do that to me! I should just hear him out, I shouldn't have stormed out like that" just as she was about to turn round, retrace her steps and find him, a bright red car sped into view. Aya put her hands towards her forehead trying to make out the object rapidly hurling itself at her.

In just one second, a very slow second for Aya, she found herself thrown 2 meters from where she was standing. As she found herself lifted into the air, she could make out red splotches in front of her. It was her blood splattering everywhere. But everything was now just a flash in her mind. She landed brutally on the cold, hard concrete road and rolled away, bouncing up a few times as though she was just a light rag doll, her shoulders and arms were taking full throttle of the impact on the road and and were being slashed and bruised with every tumble. When she finally came to a stop, Aya suddenly felt excruciating pain all over her body, in all the turmoil, she lay there, crumpled up and curling into her knees and squeezing her eyes to make the pain stop. Her arms were shaking with pain.

It seemed like Aya had laid there on the stone cold floor for her entire life, she stopped writhing in agony and the pain was gradually leaving her body. Her eyes started to droop, she felt dizzy, but peaceful, she heard far off screams and shouting, but it didn't bother her. She could see the 2 bright head lights a few paces away, "Am I... dead?" Aya thought.Then her body was suddenly turned to the left, her eyes was just opened into a tiny slit. A dark figure was lifting her up from the bloody mess left by herself on the road.
"It's going to be OK" the dark figure said, the voice was deep and comforting but sounded echoey and slurred.
"Hey, I- I was just about to..."
Then Aya's body went slack and everything went dark.



Aya had been in the hospital for quite some time now. Thanks to some helpful people who where nearby, an ambulance was able to come in time to pick her up and administer first aid to her before rushing her to the hospital. “Any longer...” the doctors said, “and she may have been beyond saving.”
And so, another day began at the hospital she stayed at.

It was a warm bed, Aya lay there without so much as a crinkle on her brow or a crease on her lips. She just lay there, devoid of a wisp of imagination in her mind. The blanket was a snow white and smoothed out, it was ever so soft. A gentle breeze slipped in from the window it made its way around the room, where Aya was in a deep coma, and danced around, giving off the sweet scent of the new April flowers from the wonderful garden outside. It kept the room cool though the sun was bright and warm and big outside, high in the light blue sky.

The monitor next to Aya was beeping evenly. The long green line was showing the same pattern as it had been for the past




The door to Aya's room creaked open, a posh shiny leather shoe was placed slowly on the immaculate checkered hospital floor. An old man came in holding beautiful White Lillis. Behind him, some teenagers trooped in quietly and stood around Aya's bed, they kept a respectful glance towards Aya.

"I thank you all again for coming to visit Aya altogether. I'm afraid her condition has not changed much, but she's no longer in any physical danger of.. death at the very least."

A few girls let out a hushed breath and stared wide eyed at Aya once again. The old man returned his glance to her and sighed.
“So, Doc…” He spoke in a voice desperately clinging onto hope.
“Can you guys guess when my niece’ll wake up?”



A teen pounded his fist on the wall of the hospital. His friend, instinctively braced his glasses on his face as if they where to fall off, reasoned with him with a calm voice. “Putting your first through the wall isn’t going to do anything to help Aya, Tyson.”

The teen turned to him.
“I’m not trying to do that… It just really ticks me off that we still haven’t found out who the driver of that hit and run was. I mean, the jerk put her in a coma!” Tyson was particularly enraged at the moment, seeing Aya a helpless as she was now.

“Well Tyson, I’m just happy that Aya’s alright. I was worried for her life when I saw her right after the accident. Do you remember how badly injured she was?”
It was true, that Aya’s injuries looked horrifying when they first found out about the accident.

“Fine. You’re right.”
Tyson crossed his arms, surrendering the conversation to his friend. “So then, going onto other matters, Lax. It’s been a few weeks already. I suppose now’s a good time for us to talk about-“

At that moment, Lax saw the door to Aya’s room open behind Tyson. Which was strange, as there wasn’t supposed be anyone else in there, save for Aya, but she wasn’t supposed be able to get up and move around.

“Hey Tyson…” Lax said, interrupting his friend. “Look behind you.”

Turning around, both of them saw a considerably handsome boy about their age. He looked like one of the kinds of guys who could acquire a date from just about any girl he wanted. The fact that Tyson didn’t know him, and that he somehow just exited Aya’s room instantly made him very suspicious.

“Hey you!” Tyson called out.
“What where you doing in there?!”
Lax half expected him to run away, or give some half hearted excuse. But instead, the boy walked right up to them. He greeted them good morning.

“I’m Reikou. I just had a particular desire to go into that room when I saw the name.” He spoke in a very matter-of-fact tone of voice. Though a normal person in this situation would be feeling a bit nervous being called out by a teenager who already looked somewhat ready to strike you down with his fist, and another looking at you with a distrustful stare, Reikou retained his composure.
Lax, after having a moment to remember, then recognized who this person was.
“Reikou, are you the one who works in the library, with Mr. Marx?” Lax remembered Mr. Marx talking about a peculiar guy who also helped out in the library like him.

“You know this guy?” Tyson looked at Lax. Wondering how the two could be acquainted.

“No, Lax and I just both work in the library you see. We’re both members in the network security section. I’ve heard some good things about you from Mr. Marx and the library staff, Lax.” Reikou said, who was also trying to lighten the situation while making small talk.

“Well, that still doesn’t explain what you were doing in our friend’s room. You don’t personally know Aya or something, do you?” Lax was impatiently waiting for Reikou’s reason for being there.

“Like I said, I had a sudden urge to walk into that room when I saw the sign. I assure you, I’m not so savage as to do things to people who’re in a coma and helpless.”

Reikou took a couple of steps forward, walking past them, apparently done with conversing with the two. “Well, I should be on my way, it was nice meeting you Lax. We should talk about deterring Tristan and his hacking club sometime. I hear they’ve been trying to step up their operations lately.” He walked around a corner, and was gone.

Tyson scratched his head. That certainly wasn't a normal way to end aconversation. Those types of people do nothing less than bother him.

Reikou was speaking the truth when he said he didn’t do anything to Aya. But while Tyson and Lax waited in Aya’s room for Uncle Sam to come back from seeing her doctor, they couldn’t help but wonder why such a person would just come and see her.

But, there was one thing appeared to be certain. Aya wasn’t going to wake up from her locked slumber for a period of time. But that wasn’t quite reassuring to Uncle Sam, or her friends such as Lax and Tyson. Days passed, then weeks, and then a couple months and then, a half a year. By then, things such as the accident and Aya’s coma was simply unfortunate pages in the memories of all who knew her, the news of the yesterday. No expected her to wake up. Uncle Sam even considered turning packing up Aya’s room and using the empty space for storage.
However, little did anyone know; the person whom they were beginning to stow away in their memories, would once again reappear in their lives once again.

-Not Dead!

Wow, how long was it since the last update? Well, for the 1 to 1/2 persons who have been waiting on an update, here it is! Right now, some of the arc writers are starting to make moves to beginning writing arcs. We also have to do some collab with the coding department so we can do some basic coding before they go in and do all the really complicated things.

At the moment, the project is in hiatus. Which is basically we're slowed down a bit... I mean, A LOT due to general life. Like the update above, we try to get a bit done as free time admits. Hopefully, everyone will be able to have something to work on once the arcs start to get submitted.

~Character Codes for Script~

Aya → ay
Tyson → ty
Lax → la
Uncle Sam → us
Rei → rei
Cathy → ca
Kit → kit

(Based off of Mokona's competition story and the winning entry. NOTE! Things may end up being changed as more is determined)

Aya couldn't have the worst luck. What happens when you wake up one day, a 16 year old girl in high school, sitting atop a hospital bed - and have absolutely no memory of how you got there? That is the sad situation she's faced with. Her unfortunate memory loss caused by a certain "He" mentioned in her diaries.

A previous life with a boyfriend she caught kissing another girl, then to be hit by a car and put into a coma; would remembering this mystery person really be worth it?

~Known Characters~

Aya
Age: 16
Occupation: Student

A girl who ran away from home, only to be hit by a car and put into a coma. When she wakes up she has no memories of who she was. Aya hopes to regain herself with only her diaries, and precious friends and family to refer to.

Most of her family and friends expected her to be confused and withdrawn when she woke up from her coma. That was true, for maybe the first week. Aya according to therapeutic observation is a kind and open girl. With a hint of childishness... though that could be because of the amnesia.

Reading back in her diary, the original Aya seemed to be such a different person. If this her second chance at life or is she simply fated to fill in the blanks of the one she forgot?


Tyson - "If you're in a pinch, I'll be there!"
Age: 16
Occupation: Student

An outgoing boy with an open personality. He took his responsibility as one of Aya's friends help her out in a her time of need, as as such: is (almost) always the first one who happens to be there to help. If Aya and her group of friends end up doing something odd. then more than likely they where all dragged into it by Tyson.

Tyson has a passion for his truck, which he's invested a good amount of time and money into. He's also good friends with Aya's cousin, Lax. Thanks to various odd and end relationships in elementary school, he's friends with some of the strongest at school. Amongst this secret order Tyson is ranked '4'; for reasons Aya could only begin to comprehend. Like Lax, Tyson has his own share of choose-able followers, but seems to stick around Aya and her friends most of the time. Whether it be something he's always done or just special attention given due to her situation is something Aya has yet to inquire.

Could the empty feelings she feels towards him be because of her not remembering their time together- or something else?


Lax - "It's alright as long as you don't make a fool of yourself."
Age: 16
Occupation: Student

Aya's cousin, cool and collected as well as a hit with the girls, though he finds the little quirk more of a nuisance than anything else. Tyson as well as Lax's other friends call him by the affectionate nickname: "Laxative" much to Lax's own dismay. Tyson admits Lax's "silent and collected" attitude works on females at their school just as good as it works in the movies.

Lax spends much of his time volunteering at the library, largely for his skill in defrauding the various ways students try to attack the school's computer network. He works a protective labor of love... or rather was forcibly retained as the school network's security dog. Because of this, the school's "Hacking" club declared Lax to be their ultimate rival, though they usually end up losing and get pounded up by Tyson and Lax's group of friends.

He made sure to be there when Aya first woke up and also helped her readjust to school life, but recently he seems to be trying to keep his distance from her, -why?


Reikou Kizuna - "Everything has its own price to pay."
Age: 16
Occupation: Student - Library Defense Committee

One of those guys who seems to keep to himself most of the time. Few at school really know much about him. Various odds and ends made him a part of the group protecting the library's computers due to the various attacks from the computer hacking club. Rei is actually quire resourceful, even going as far as cutting the Hacking Club's Power supply on one occasion.

His real calling seems to be with machines and gadgets. Seeing as some people say they've spotted him working at a repair shop. Maybe he's good with cars as well?

He's also an excelling student, but tends to get bored pretty easily. Rei also has strong feelings about protecting people, which has oftentimes lead to all out fighting, but he really would avoid doing such things if there was a choice. Despite this, the many people he's hurt trying to protect himself and others has placed him very close to being expelled.



Uncle Sam - "Train, train, and train, you cant get an 'A' in physics if you don't know the trajectory of your grenade!"
Age: 47
Occupation: Uncle

A good and loving uncle, as well as Aya's legal guardian. He's lived with aya as far back as she could remember (Even before the accident). He's a strongly patriotic man whose had more than his fair share of bullets shot at him in defense of his country. He isn't the guy on the recruitment posters mind you!

Now retired, he still seems to occasionally have some difficulty readjusting to life outside the base. Though many people debated whether his orphaned nice would be able to grow to be a fine normal girl; Aya nonetheless grew to be a fine normal girl.

Unfortunately, he's already starting to hint at being a bit senile. While, things like "Morning Roll Call" and being able to know the military alphabet (Eg. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie... etc.) he now occasional strikes out at imaginary communists in the middle of the night. Aya, even as memory-less as she is, does not seem too worried about this.

Cathy Ashlander - "Guys, do we really need to go through with this again?"
Age: 17
Occupation: Student - Hacking Club Member

The secretary and general damage control member of the hacking club. She generally keeps track of things. Amongst the members of the group, she seems to take on the most responsibility as to the fact the head of the club is dead obsessed with defeating Lax, and the supervising teacher couldn't care less about the club.

She gave up on trying to beat Lax and infiltrating the library servers a long time ago; as in, she gave up the moment the idea came up in the first place. Nonetheless- despite the groups sudden obsession with the task at hand, she does her best to keep things running, or even more so keep things looking normal. She's also somewhat educated in first aid, as due to the many hostile encounters with Lax's friends. Aside from the club, she also has interest in new and unusual gadgets


"Kit" Ashlander - "Computers are so fun! I used mine to play Jenga, Monopoly, Connect the Dots, Frisbee, Tennis, and Soccer without even needing to turn it on!"
Age: 15
Occupation: Student - Hacking Club Member

The younger of the Ashland sisters, she's also proven to be a bit of an odd duck of a character. Most of the time she seems to be a laid back free spirit -or a complete idiot in some cases, though most of her teachers say they find her completely delightful to have in class. She's also been itching to get herself into a fight- which she's had several chances in diving into. However Cathy has always been nearby to hold her back. Academically she's actually has the best grades out of anyone in the club.

No one aside from her family would know her first name. 'Kit' which could be short for many things, is even listed on her ID and even the school roster. She joined the Hacking Club along with her older sister: Cathy just to tag along. But it's a simple fact that she has little no computer literacy whatsoever. Which the club found out the hard way when she destroyed one of the computers in the classroom the club uses.


Miss Alice Hane - "It is important that educators maintain a safe and prosperous learning environment for... -oh do you need me to repeat that?"
Age 29:
Occupation: Principal

West High School's principal. A nice lady known for the prized pearl necklace she wears around her neck. Principal Alice hates conflict of any sort. The fact that the library and computer club have turned into opposing factions that have skirmishes in the school hallways on almost a weekly basis is of great concern to her.

She also is albeit soft spoken. Though her loyal staff helps to put her orders to action (and calm down any wrongdoers) of which she finds as a great disgrace to always have to need assistance from the staff.

Principal Alice personally took steps to help Aya after her memory loss; including changing her friend's class schedules so that they could be with her in most of her classes.


Mr. Carl Marks - "...."
Age 29:
Occupation: History Teacher, Library Worker

One of the history teachers for Aya's particular grade. He is well known for his prominent hairstyle and wear of sunglasses. He doesent talk much either, really, but Mr. Carl puts lots of thought into every sentence (most of the time). He seems a little discontent as a teacher. Probably due to low teacher salaries?

Mr. Marks also went to school with Principal Alice. However, despite this, he isn't quite as friendly with the principal as one would assume. The only other thing kids see him do aside from teaching is working at the library as a sort of guard (for extra pay). Because of this, he is also somewhat involved in the conflict against the computer hacking club.

All of Aya's friends where able to be conveniently placed in the same period during history (Which is Mr. Marks' Class). That, latched onto the library job, makes him conveniently around all the time. Uncle Sam also seems to not like this guy for some reason.


Tristan Clark (NEW!) - "We'll definitely get Lax this time, I'm sure of it!"
Age: 17
Occupation: Computer Hacking Club President

The respectable president of the computer hacking club. He's knowledgeable with computers, and hates losing as much as... the thing he hates the most. Thus we have the current situation where his is locked in conflict with Lax and associates. Tristan pursues Lax with an indomitable fury that shall not be quenched until his revenge is realized!

Originally the head of the computer security club, Tristan hooked his lavish 1500$ + Tax laptop into the library server one day. He was, with another student; hacking into the library's system to remove a massive 16$ late charge on some of his checkouts from the library. Lax was also on the job that day, and in the end, Tristan's beloved 1500$ + Tax laptop was fried.

So he went back into his club room, and slammed his fist on the table. Catching everyone's attention instantly. With a loud voice fill of passionate fury and anger, he said: "There's someone I need to settle a score with. Who is with me!?" The only thing more extravagant than his obsession to beat lax is that fact that he still has club members.


Allen Garpo - "Darn it, Ashley, cant you do something about your sister!?"
Age: 16
Occupation: Computer Hacking Club Member

For girls, he's a bit easier to look at then the club's president. He originally joined the club when it was still about computer maintenance. Allen somewhere along the line, became good friends with the club president, and has loyally accompanied him on his computer related quests.

Allen comes from a relatively wealthy family. As such, he always seems to have some good technology on hand. Which of course, always attracts the unwanted attention of local club terror Kit, who finds hand held electronics as nothing less than interesting objects for juggling. He would be completely alright with Ashley if she didn't come bundled with her annoyance of a sister.

He's almost on par with the president when it comes to computer skills. Allen was also a black-belt who won a couple of championships when he was in grade school. However, he has long forgotten most of his skills, and is often easily overpowered by foes such as Tyson.
