Over Troubled Waters

**Over Troubled Waters** is the fourth mini-episode of the podcast. It was released on October 14th, 2016.

## Synopsis

Bertie takes time out of his busy schedule to discuss a rom com that never made it to theaters.

## Plot Summary

Roger asks Bertie to give the traffic report, but Bertie is conflicted, as Etta says that if he's only going to give the report he might as well not even bother. Bertie folds, and tells a story Etta suggested.

He tells the story of the final scene of Over Troubled Waters, a rom-com about a couple that meets on a tour of the Transcontinental Bridge, but live on opposite ends of it.

The movie was doomed from the start. It was filmed after the disappearance of the Transcontinental Hotel, the shutdown of Aqualand, and numerous watchtower shutdowns. It was a strange idea to decide to film a movie on The Bridge. There was a hope that the movie would bring in more tourists.

The filming was plagued with smaller strange occurrences; audio and video 'errors' and the like, culminating into an event on day 10 of shooting, where they found a statue of the lead actress, Laura Fremont, made out of painted styrofoam.

It was something the bridge itself had made, or rather had made Laura *into*.

Most people refuse to believe that she turned into a statue, and think she's still out there somewhere, so they refused to take the statue back to her home. Bertie proclaims that he put her with his roses, so she would have something nice to look at, in case she were somehow still alive and aware.

Script
Mario Headland

"It's time for you to type!"

   Mario Headland is a magical forest area that Mario Head lives in. He and his typewriter both live there, helping anyone who comes by. It was once just a normal forest, but he used his typing powers to change it to resemble the way it is now. He does not often get visitors, but is happy when he does. The trees now grow large Mario Head fruits, and the sky is bright colors with whales flying around. Large lollipops grow out of the floor, as most things are edible there now. This has caused some problems in the ecosystem, but Mario Head fixed those. Mario Head often flies around Mario Headland, enjoying the view and playing with the strange animals. If he's not doing that, he's eating the candy plants and Mawoh froots, or bust typing on his typewriter. At first Mario Headland only looked all magical through Mario Head's eyes, but he changed it. People who stay there too long will never get the song that plays there out of their heads and may get afterimages of all the bright colors on their eyes.

You and I, the Cowards

## Synopsis

Yuta has an informal dinner out with his co-worker Homare Koiwai, who talks about working with Moriko in the past despite never seeing her in person. Meanwhile, Yuta responds to Moriko's message, wanting to remain friends after being respectfully turned down for a future meeting. In the game, Hayashi receives an expensive coat from Lily, but is afraid of putting it on as Lily might have ulterior motives. After meeting with Lily to discuss the gift, Lily tells of her history in the game, of being both a girl and a support class that everyone wanted to partner with. When she joined a guild, another female character accused Lily of playing off the guildmaster's feelings. Lily then puts on her own expensive coat and asks Hayashi to be her partner. Moriko is flustered at the thought of accepting a girl's feelings online, but accepts, not knowing who Lily's player really is.

He is a powerful, supernatural entity who resides in Subspace. He uses the Subspace Bombs to send entire locations to his dimension, where he absorbs their power to increase his own, in the attempt to fulfill his desire to conquer and subjugate the universe.

Homare Koiwai

**Homare Koiwai** (小岩 井誉 *Koiwai Homare*) is Yuuta Sakurai's senior and a good friend to him. In the past, he is a former co-worker who is in the same company as Moriko Morioka, but in Touhou.

## Appearance

Koiwai is slim, medium height and has rather pale looking skin with more narrow looking eyes, his hair being short and parted on the left side, both his hair and eyes being of a light bluish purple color.

He is often seen in his causal business look which consists of a dress shirt with a red tie - the sleeves being rolled up to his elbows paired with blue trousers and black dress shoes.

## Personality

Koiwai has a rather energetic and easygoing personality.

He has a very mocking humor sometimes a bit sarcastic, as said by Yuuta Sakurai, everyone around him enjoys his presence for his constant jokes; he specially likes to make fun of Sakurai since he is always too serious and a bit dramatic about his problems.

Koiwai on the other side cares a lot about his friends, in the past he was the only person who seem to ever sit up and listen to Moriko during a phone conversation in wich he realized how tired she was because of her hard work. The same attitude is observed with Sakurai, Koiwai always listen to his problems and even pulls the strings to help him.

On the other side is clear that Koiwai acts like a womanizer, he is a really smooth talker as he flirts with Moriko Morioka since the first time they speak and never stops to do it during the whole anime, however, its notorious that he is not really much interested in her, and his honey words are but a mean to tease Moriko's lack of self confidence since even before they meet he was already aware of the feelings of his friend.

## Background

Koiwai often interferes between Yuuta Sakurai and Moriko Morioka by pulling the strings to make things happen, as he seems to be far more experienced in human relationships than both of them, he usually manipulate events to put them together, or simply make them speak.

During a good part of the story he intentionally causes jealousy to Sakurai in order to get him some reaction, Koiwai seems to be really sure that his friends will end together, for example: Even if Sakurai drops the triple date and says he wont contact Moriko, he goes on with his plan and gets Moriko to realize Yuuta is attracted to her.

## Etymology

* The name **Homare** means "honor" (誉).
* Homare's surname **Koiwai** means "small" (小) (**ko**), "rock" (岩) (**iwa**) and "well, mine shaft, pit" (井) (**i**).

## Trivia

* Koiwai's star sign is Gemini.
* Koiwai is 32 years old, which makes him the second oldest character shown in anime. The first one would be Ikede Ririka (Manga only) who are born in February 14th.
* During his date with Moriko Morioka, Koiwai confirmed that even if he is not adept to them, he indeed like and plays video games.
* On various occasions, Koiwai is seen to have overtime in his job where he did in the prior company and so he does in his actual job.

Metal Gear Astrum (Season 3)

With Vresun now destroyed, it had been decided that the forumites would rebuild over the body of their deleted homeland and move forward. Things have changed since then: the Eternals have disappeared, Kushagra now roams cyberspace as a wildcard and everything seems to be going well. However, all is not as it seems...

## Trivia

* Due to circumstances, the videos had to be made slightly differently. As such, the episodes did have short text crediting them which was dropped after Episode 23.

* Season 3 is the only season so far to use music tracks as a character leitmotif. In this case ペペ　－　Ｓｈａｄｉｌａｙ（嘆かわしいｆｅａｒ）serves as Kushagra's letimotif wheras Just Monika is used as Bloom's leitmotif.

* So far, Season 3 has had two instances where multiple episodes have been released in the same day. The first was on 21/12/17 (The Birth of Astrum 5Ds + Masterminding Sympathy) and the second was on 01/02/18 (A Rainy Reunion + Flowering Falsehood).

* HisSleepiness is the only character so far to have their Text-to-Speech voice changed. This was done in order to make his lines easier to comprehend.

* Astrum is consistently portrayed as a barren, blacked desert, in reference to it being a wasteland after The Vresun Apocalypse.

Lily

Lily is a female character inside Fruits de Mer who is created by Yuuta Sakurai, member of the guild @House Party and her role is Support.

## Appearance

Lily appears as a short yet sweet-looking girl in-game, she has pale skin with pink eyes and hair that is styled to be short with long braids sticking out in the back with two pink bows on each side of her head as well a hat.

She wears a long pink dress with brown knee-high length boots, over the top she wears a short cloak with white fur on the trimming as well as a bow to keep it on. She is also seen wearing the bracelets similar to the ones Hayashi got in the end chest on Episode 1.

## Personality

Lily is friendly to anyone, but is really shy and feels easily overwhelmed by unwanted attention from strangers; this is a problem to her since her role is being a conductor specializing in recovery magic, who is commonly queued by matchmaking system to play with many other people outside her guild, she often encounters people who try to get closer to her because of her cute appearance and good manners.

She had been playing Fruits De Mer for some time prior to her first appearance when she met Hayashi; she empathized with the new player, especially because he seemed not to rush to befriend her, and instead he showed sincerely interested in the game rather than socializing.

Lily opened up to Hayashi very quickly and became attached to him.

Although she has been playing for sometime before the arrival of Hayashi, she is not very explorative of the game's world, and prefers to stay idle in her favorite maps or play in parties but is almost never seen her questing alone.

Lily really likes to buy cosmetic stuff, she has more outfits than any of her guildmates, and she spends too much real money (enough to deplete a salary) for each rolls. She is the kind of player who will spend any amount of money until she gets what she wants.

## Abilities

* *Breath of healing*: A single target spell that heals the target.
* *Breath of resurrection*: An area of effect spell that heals multiple targets.

## Relationships

* **Hayashi:** Her chosen partner, and the closest character, Lily spends her time with him mostly, hunting, questing, and having fun. They share a special bond and their real-life counterparts have romantic feelings towards each other.
* **Kanbe:** Prior to the arrival of Hayashi, Kanbe was her most trusted friend, she greatly respects him, and is the only guild member who knows her secret about being a man in real life.
* **Himeralda:** Himeralda acts like a big sister towards Lily, in the same manner as the rest of the guild, whenever she sees Lily having problems she lends a hand, offering advice or acting by herself.
* **Pokotarou:** Lily respects him and shows great appreciation, he is also an advisor in hard times but unlike Himeralda, the interventions of Pokotarou tends to stay at words.
* **Lilac:** Lilac and Lily behave friendly and most comically. Lilac feels a healthy envy towards Lily because of her nice behavior and how easily she found a good partner in Hiyashi.
Episode 26: Assimilating Pi

## Summary

Before Shane died, the Astrum forums were mostly peaceful. Though the effects of the Vresun Apocalypse had lasting consequences, things were still cheery. In this episode, King tries to flirt with Charlotte only for hilarity to ensue!

## Cast

King of Despair (Text2Speech)

Charlotte/Dianke  (US English Alice)

Alfasketer (CodeWelt Polish)

Gomakashi (CodeWelt Lojban)

## Soundtrack

 Misato (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

## Trivia

The thumbnail for this episode was intentional designed to parallel the one used in Episode 21. Aside from that, the episodes were rather different.

Before creating the episode, the creator wouldn't have made the episode about Charlotte if the screenshots used would make Episode 26 a rehash of Episode 21. However, the episode turned out differently enough that he considered it worth doing.

Originally, Alfasketer's blank face was going to have his avatar pasted over it to differentiate his screenshots from HisSleepiness's screenshots. However, the creator had faith that his audience could tell the difference and left it be.

The events in this episode take place before Shane's death, though the episode takes place after Episode 25.
David Picariello

**David Picariello** is a The Bridge cast member who plays Bertie Renard.

When he's not Bertie-ing, you can catch him fully invested in Boston sports, becoming too emotionally attached to fictional television characters, and doing his best to make it as an actor. He currently lives on the north shore of Boston, MA.

The Vresun Apocalypse

The Vresun Apocalypse was an event that signalled the end of Vresun Ciraian Ruins during 2016. The event itself took place after the Eternal Turnabout and was caused by AFTRHR deleting everything after being given Moderator powers by Shane.

## The Event

After being given moderator powers by Shane, things didn't seem all that bad. That was until Kushagra had unexpectedly deleted every thing in Vresun except the Silly Karjam thread. Nothing could be salvaged because nobody had thought to archive anything in case something like this happened. King of Despair had taken Shane to task over the lack of security measures put in place from the Eternal's attacks and this event.

## The Aftermath

It was agreed by the Vresunians that Vresun was officially dead and that it would be rebranded into a new forum. AFTRHR was banned as a result of his actions and eventually left to do his own thing.

Despite this catastrophic event, the Vresunians (now Astrumites) were able to quickly rebuild their forum and continued posting. This event caused King of Despair and AFTRHR to turn on each other, though the pair of them eventually made up and became far better friends. It also drove King of Despair to keep Vresun's history alive, since he didn't want any of it to go forgotten.

Season 3 of the Youtube series showed what happened after Kushagra deleted Vresun. He managed to get back into Symfora when Shane forgave him and as such, that season shows what occured on King of Despair's side and Kushagra's side.

Episode 21: The Kingly Serenade

Episode 21: The Kingly Serenade is the 21st episode in the Vresun Ciraian Ruins series and the first episode of Metal Gear Astrum (Season 3)

 Summary

With Vresun destroyed and Astrum built atop it's ruins, the Astrumites rebuild quickly and continue on with their lives. When King of Despair and Ariana met, it's as if sparks started to fly and chemistry was made. Or least that's what King of Despair believed.

## Cast

(US English Alice) as Ariana and Bloom

(Greek) Codewelt as Gomakashi

(US Scottish) Text2Speech as King of Despair.

## Soundtrack

Dating Fight! (Undertale)

Boss Battle! (MegaMan Battle Network 3)

Just the Two of Us (Bill Withers)

You Give Love a Bad Name (Bon Jovi)

## Gallery

Episode 21's thumbnail.Re:King of DespairAriana Seymour (Hanako Ikezawa)A conversation that went unused.
## Trivia

Ariana was originally going to sing "Bring Back Bloom's Smile" as her introduction. This was canned because the Text to Speech voice wouldn't done the anime overtones any justice, and would simply have annoyed the audience.

Ariana and Bloom use the same voice though both are edited differently. Ariana's voice sounds more like a teenage girl whereas Bloom's sounds deep and ominous.

Ariana screams 3 times throughout the video. The scream in question is a edited version of Darth Vader's infamous NOOOOOOOOO from Revenge of the Sith.

A short segment involving a discussion between Ariana, Gwyneth and Gomakashi was considered but was cut to prevent it from making the video longer than it needed to be.

The use of MegaMan Battle Network 3's Boss Theme is actually supposed to tie into the episode title and reference Serenade.EXE, that game's superboss, who uses the theme in-game.

The Game Over screen at the end is a reference to The Cosmic Dancer, a video created on the same channel.

The Game Over theme is from the GBA version of SEGA Rally, hence the more depressing tone.

## Trivia

Despite Shane being dead, there wasn't an obituary released. This is one of many signs that Shane's death may have been faked.

Karina and Dianke share the same voice as Ariana, with their voices edited in the same way. In addition, Gwyneth's voice is edited the same as Bloom's dark voice but uses a different voice.

Gomakashi's CodeWelt has been changed because the previous one sounded incomprehensible and couldn't be used properly.

## Trivia

There is a secret message when Karjam shows up it reads:

"My command. Execute King of Despair anyway, not because he did anything wrong but as a precautionary measure for our country. If we want peace on our soil and our nation to stay in power, we need to execute this traitorous war dog. Yes, this may be going against Shane's wishes, but remember that Shane was too weak to lead the nation of Symfora due to fearing the revolution against him. This ironically made him a spineless leader who let his previous nation turn to desert, resulting in a huge impact against his own people due to not being prepared for the destruction of Vresun. Law and order is needed to keep control of any nation of the world, for without it, Symfora would collapse from the ensuing chaos. Note that law and order are not mutually exclusive, those who disobey the leaders just proved that they wish to destroy our grand nation. For a true Symforian is loyal to his nation, even when they disagree or fight amongst themselves. King of Despair just proved that he wasn't even a good friend, if not toward Kekshagra; then defiantly not towards us due to being a rebel leader against us, filled with frustrations towards us, frustration being the seed of change."

This episode introduces a different style of showing each screenshot. Instead of one screenshot, two will show up on screen and disappear once their dialogue is finished.

Staying true to Karjam's South African heritage, the South African National Anthem was used to give off the feeling of fascism that his post gave off.

The image of Karjam in this episode is reused from the (in-progress) album Control is the Supreme Happiness, created by the fictional band Neo Dragon Rise. As such, it can be considered a preview of the album.

The TVs in the thumbnail are as follows (from left to right): A picture of The Eternal Despair, King of Despair and a blushing Lunaris, a picture of Dictator Karjam, the thumbnail for Shia's Former Friend and the thumbnail for Episode 11. Two of those images (the second and third one) are used for one of the album covers for "Control is the Supreme Happiness".

## Trivia

The thumbnail for this episode is designed to resemble a boss fight from a 3D Platformer.

King of Despair is the only character in the episode who isn't a Conspiracy Mastermind.

The three paragraph names (Rebellion, Revolution and Revenge) are a reference to the Hang-Out Thread in Astrum.

This episode reveals Bloom's official appearance for the V.C.R series and her Mastermind Appearance in the same episode, one after another.

Though both Control is the Supreme Happiness and this episode have Flower Dragons, Episode 30's version is red and has 3 eyes on it's head.

## Trivia

The intro for this episode reveals that Ariana's sadness in The Kingly Serenade was actually caused by Shane's death.

Shane develops an obnoxious verbal tic where he uses the word "casually" peppered in his sentences.

Still Alive was used for the episode because the originating thread was called Still Alive, therefore averting any missed opportunities.

The ending of this episode is a reference to the "To Be Continued" of Jojo's Bizzare Adventure fame. It's also the second time the creator has used that reference. The first time was during Strange Selections Buffet #2, during one of the gags.

Lucy accuses everyone else of being a sockpuppet despite being one herself. Considering that Lucy might be one of Kim's sockpuppets, it's possible that this was Kim's way of getting back at Shane.

## Trivia

Though the series has brought up the concept of a Conspiracy Mastermind in it's Season Finales, this episode is the first time where the concept is explicitly addressed by the characters.

Upon creating the episode, the creator realised that people might rewatch the episode for the Rainy Day VS Karjam segment and decided to add some touches to improve that particular segment.

Though one would assume that White Knight Karjam's design references both the 4 Archangels and The White from Shin Megami Tensei IV, in actuality, it's a mere coincidence.

Out of all the Season 3 episodes, Episode 25 is considered one of the longer episodes, if not one of the longest in the entire series.
