OKAY YOU ASKED FOR IT. I already wrote this one up for my own self reference so \o/.
... I'mma break this down into days because it's easier for me to progress linearly that way :|a
Day 1/Day 141: Meets Hydracula!
Everything is fine and dandy \o/. People are nice! He has a few doubts about himself ("Out of all the messages I could've left for myself, why did I choose "Don't ever hate anyone"?") but manages to quash his confusion and myriad of questions with a blanket of warm and fuzzy feelings like being protected by his teammates and making new friends.
TL;DR Albert is a giant girl.
Day 2/Day 142: Game 93 lololololol.
I have essayed about this at length already in chan and to various people and it's leaked in to threads too so I'll try not to keep this too long. Basically the gist of it is this:
Albert goes in to game naive and optimistic. Excel is his teammate! Excel is also injured, so his fool self says to her "I will protect you. I promise." Because that's the sort of guy Albert is.
They get INTO the game anddddd... it's worse than anything Albert could've imagined! He was about to volunteer himself to stay behind with Jim in the first round until they get confirmation from Flowers that they can't split up the teams lololo and Lucky is nearby UPCHUCKING from the heat, so Albert knows he can't possibly volunteer them for that room. So he waits until a verdict is made, feeling like SHIT all the time, and hopes that the next room will be something better he can volunteer them for! He doesn't SAY any of this because he is at least smart enough to know that doing so would be digging his own grave.
... BUT THE NEXT ROOM IS WORSE \o/. Not only that, but Blood starts taking down Bunnycorn almost instantly and Albert is ... well, horrified. Wh-What happened to civilized discussion guys?! Can't we work this out?! Why is everyone here so jaded?! Excel just grabs a bat and tells him to get a hammer. Just like that. Pretty much the only thing that's running through his head is SHEER TERROR. Despite his morals, despite everything he believes in, he can't even move a single muscle to intervene in the fight because he knows what'll happen if he does! THEN FAITH STEPS IN and Faith is like... THIS TINY LITTLE HELPLESS INNOCENT GIRL I SHOULD BE PROTECTING!! WHY IS SHE DOING WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING AND GETTING HURT AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH D8 D8 D8. I AM THE WORST! SHE'S GETTING HURT BECAUSE I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!! WHY AM I SO WEAK AND PATHETIC AND USELESS?
Third room ... does this even need any explanation \o/;;. He feels like the whole cave-in thing was his fault because he was too weak to stand up to Soujirou and then that involved EVERYONE ELSE and so instead they all wasted too much time and got SQUASHSED \o/. Of course this logic is faulty but this is Albert we're talking about, logic isn't his strong suit anyway. IF ONLY I HAD BEEN STRONGER BAWWW.
1/3
