Well...first the visit was switched to today, with no idea if the return is saturday or sunday. Ah well...Moving on.
The translation for VD day SS is d-o-n-e, so now I'll concentrate only on finishing with the game then considering doing the WD one or the Dj's after that. Speaking of SS's...
Finally got to read the one in the OST scans~! And they are indeed good, as it's the other guys/Non-Gian POV during Escape. I'd list them as:
1st Place - Luchino, 2nd - Ivan, 3rd - Bernardo. Giulio who? Though serioisly...
Giulio - Well...the only good point would be when it'd be about the the relationships between Gian and the others aka how there are people more close to Gian than him, Bernardo is one of them. Luchino working together with him, seems to have taken a much more liking to him compared to the beginning. And Ivan...leaving out the rude behaviour/other than the rude newcomer? Are getting along with Gian. Even though he's the one that knew Gian since long ago...(and of course said part would finish off with him stating that that together with the feeling of being inside dark water he'd feel like messing something up. Blood. Red blood. Pink-colored flesh... )The rest is back to good ol' creepy-ville, as after starting to think about Gian he'd start going an about blood and at one point how beatiful Gian would probably look when he'd die etc etc as he himself would battle those thoughts (as the usual ways to surpress them aren't working?). Reappearance of the handkerchief from prison...to be misused. Concluding that if it could be forgiven, he'd wish for Gian not to hate him, then correcting himself...that no, he wouldn't mind being hated as long as he'd be allowed to stay near Gian. Gian Carlo, his hope. So that this thread connected wouldn't ever be cut a 2nd time...
Bernardo - Is more interesting. Starts with talking a bit about how he was raised, then the time when he was entering the prison Gian was in. The first thing Gian would say to him being wonderfully...glorious. The bit that had him comment about the surprising team work while the others would talk when switching to Escape was fun. When it'd start monologuing about Gian and the wall ie how Gian probably has noticed it since he's sharp considering Bern is the one creating it, and how he likes that part of Gian's that takes care not to touch it aswell. After stating a contradiction, how he's happy that Gian would touch it etc mentioning a flashback to a conversation aftr Bernardo had a meeting as a executive when the topic would head into secrets...it makes me wonder, considering it seems to contradict his monologue in VD. Does he or does he not realize...? Considering the comment about the time of the kiss while being drunk right AFTER said conversation. Then last part is the end of Day 1, with monologue during the part in the game. It is surprising what went on in his head at the time, actually.
Ivan - The most reaction while reading it could be summarised as repeats of 'Ivan-chaaan/sama/chama~'. The monologue would start at when they just got out of the prison, switch to scenes not-seen during the first day as they would still be riding the car ie Gian would suggest for Ivan to later sit next to him in the girl-speech as he'd of course say it sounds disgusting. The monologue after the switching right away about the line about trust during his route (aka how it leads to betrayal),and about the one thing he really wants (aka nothing but the REAL thing)...and getting it during the time he's alive. If in the end he doesn't...then that aswell is luck. With the mention of luck, making the monologue switch about Gian as he'd turn to look at him. Gian of course noticing that soon enough and asking if he's carsick. Yeah...cue looking back to front as he'd state that he is neither jealous of Gian nor has anything to do with him either. Which would turn to go on about him being the one Gian's attitude would be different towards. Why is is it? He doesn't understand, but as if he cares, hmpf! Continue to Day 2...confirming the suspicion I had during a scene while translating. And revealing what was the reason for his actions during night 2...and the unexpected result as he's annoyed. Switch to next morning heading for the pump, as Luchino is scolding Gian, telling him to wash more as Gian would disagree that it's fine like that. Cue Gian noticing and shrugging at him while smiling/laughing which would make the blood rush to his head, considering Gian would look at him like nothing ever happened even after the stuff he did-! Unbelievable...With the mouth he...he'd blow a bubble with bubble gum. Cue a bit where Gian founds out that Giulio has never chewed bubble gum and calls out to Ivan and Bernardo if they heard what Giulio just revealed?! Cue more mnologue of Ivan being annoyed, considering how different the others act...compared to the executive meetings? And I'd agree so much by the one mentiong how it's like they're cosplaing the prison uniforms?! And the end...which I probably laughed too much, when Ivan'd go all 'But I'm not a grandpa!' after going on about Gian grandpa-killer pheromones in his monologue after stating how the atmosphere has changed because of Gian as Gian'd be all ''Wtf?' . Argument time 'The one to call another is the idiot!', as as fed up he'd wash his face full force with the water. As one of the lines would be similar to one of Gian's monologues about Ivan.
Lu-chi-no. - Starting with Luchino considering plans for when he'd return to Daivan ie woman & alchohol, then work stuff that he is the ONLY one able to do. And considering calling Boss and Cawalli as Gian would interrupt, considering how serious he'd look while...washing potatoes. Luchino would reply that it was about the near future, as Gian is confused..even more so as Luchino tells him to be grateful, he'd go all 'err, thanks...?'. Yeah, so they're making dinner...and it's the return of the sexy potato talk! This time in front of everyone, ie how they'd be so sexy it'd be kind of a waste to cut them as Ivan would call him stupid. Cue bickering, considering how Ivan had called the first dinner outside being that 'pathetic', and afterwards that Luchino shouldn't act so proud just because he brought them-! Said argument is stopped as mommy Gian tells Giulio that Ivan seems to not want his share, so only to do four as Ivan of course denies. Thus they have dinner as Luchino monologues some more about his plan involving the women and alchohol...in the end commenting about the current situation, and how for once his feelings would synchronize with Ivan. ...This situation is, fankurro. Cue forward, after deciding the shifts...as Gian would comment on Luchino's expression and is it because of being (captured?) by the sexyness of the potatoes just before? Which of course is denied. Shrugging Gian looks away, as Luchino starts monologuing his opinion about Gian, ie the blond hair and how he thought that blue/green was good but he understood the combination of the same color is captivating aswell. Now if only the hair wasn't dirty and sweaty...
As he'd look down, Gian moving as if he's unable to be calm, would look away. Cue Gian asking what is he staring at, as Luchino would reply that Gian was the one who was captivated while looking at him first. The reply is Gian exclaiming he is going to sleep! And move to a different place in the room...as Luchino also considers the idea, resuming the monologue about Gian. Ie how he did show them his good luck and his other qualities. Leaving the inside aside...the first thing he'll do when returning is:
Deffinetely! As Luchino would go princess maker-mode, after once again going on about Gian's blondness(probably all over!) and how it would be rare...and revealing the first thing he thought when seeing Gian. So yeah...cue Luchino starting to ponder what outfits and clothes would fit Gian the best, and after being perplexed about him having fun with the idea, he'd grin. He's decided...considering his planning, once reaching Daivan he'd get clothes for Gian! Using his own wallet even! He'd consider that Bernardo probably would cry about it...but then think that no, for some reason he's spoiling Gian aswell so he' ll say nothing. Yeah, more princess maker-mode as he'd compare Gian to an unpolished jewel. And how it's the first time, he would do it for a man instead a woman. He winks in the direction Gian's sleeping. And how Gian tell him 'thanks'before just now aswell, didn't he? Concluding that will he do that instead of the store-thing, all depends on Gian himself.
The reaction to the revelation of the first thought, would be described as -
...[なんだ この 可愛い ブロンドちゃんは]?
[なんだ この 可愛い ブロンドちゃんは]?!

Oh Luchino/Yura, I love you so much. I really don't get why people seem to dislike him...past the bathroom scene, and after playing all the other Yura games it seemed to be the least disturbing version actually.
Otherwise by game - 2/4 night scenes are done. ivan's probably has to be the most favorite just for...Santamonica Stroll together with this:
I'm such an idiot for not thinking to use the screencaps to do atleast the whritten text to do those scenes quicker...
Aaand...lastly:
Although it didn't beat the IxG one, it's a verry close 2nd place. So cute and sweet, considering how often fanworks of the couple seem to make Luchino into a bastard. Bonus, that it's actually based on Gilded city instead of the other end.
