About the game:
Concept
Cute art, wild personalities, and rather inappropriate humor.
Plot
Due to their parents' tax evasion, wealthy brother and sister Kou and Homuha must take on secret Mexican identities and move into a shoddy apartment downtown. After Homuha burns the entire complex down in a cooking accident, they take on new Mexican identities and move into a new apartment. There, the other girls invade their home and hold a cooking contest to decide who should win Kou's heart... and it's a "recipe" for disaster!

Characters
Hero
*approximation
Name: Kou
Title: Not-So-Average High School Student
Profile: Looks, grades, money, personality, he's got it all. But for some reason, he always ends up being the chew toy of our heroines.
Voice: An adult male + generic anime lead. I'll accept a JYB or what have you. BTW, you will be yelling out the explanation of jokes like so: https://youtu.be/WEGVYV9d954?t=15m20s
Lines (SEPARATED BY COLUMN) [~240 lines total]:
Kou has just eaten some of Homuha's food and learned that she added sticks of deodorant to it.
KOU Are you insane!? That's not food! That's deodorant!! HOMUHA (standoffish) Oh, really. Then why does the container say non-toxic? Kou grabs his head in frustration. KOU Aaaah! What else did you put in there!? HOMUHA Nothing else! Besides potpourri, shea butter, aloe vera, mouthwash... KOU Why only bathroom products!? And why mouthwash!? HOMUHA I had no mint on-hand. |
KOU
(exact impression of an excited dog) Arf arf! *excited panting* ... KOU *growling* *excited panting* |
Kou takes the plate from Homuha with the intent to try her food, which he refused to earlier.
HOMUHA W-what are you doing!? KOU (end of episode speech) Look, don't feel bad, okay? No one starts out good at everything. We all make mistakes when we start out, and that's how we learn. HOMUHA A-are you actually going to try it? Please don't. I had a taste, and it tasted like licking an exhaust pipe. KOU (now having second thoughts) Eugh... (reassuring) Well, you know what? I have to taste it. It was wrong of me to just brush your entry off even though you tried really hard on it. |
Heroines
Name: Homuha
Title: Wicked Ultimate Vampiress
Profile: A pint-sized ice queen who is never afraid to speak her mind or deal physical punishment. When at her wit's end, she's also known to throw a tantrum. But beneath her cold and noble exterior actually lies a sensitive and kind girl... and only Kou has the pain tolerance to see it. Some of you might know her as a "tsundere".
Voice: Homuha's voice is cold and haughty, yet high-pitched. As a wealthy young lady, she utilizes a diverse vocabulary and always enunciates properly. When she gets embarrassed, her voice melts accordingly. BTW, some people have been giving me deeper voices. This is what I intended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzw0BAUVMHI&feature=youtu.be&t=2m26s

Homuha has had enough of Kou's antics.
HOMUHA (furious) Enough of this!!! Homuha lurches for the microwave. She breaks it on Kou's head, door-first, sending glass everywhere. Kou is now wearing the microwave like a big ol' helmet. KOU (like Scooby Doo) Ruh roh! Roo turned off the rights? HOMUHA (gonna strangle him with the cord) Stupid dog! Die! With the microwave still on Kou's head, she takes the cord and strangles him. |
Anya snatches the sandwich from Kou's hand.
HOMUHA (panicked) W-what are you doing with his sandwich!? ANYA Oh, nothing you need to concern yourself with, Cucumber Roll! I am just thinking about putting my lips against Kou-sama's strong, manly bite-mark! Oh my, what big teeth he has! HOMUHA (flustered) You can't do that! It'll be an indirect k... k... k-k...! They brawl over ownership of the sandwich. |
Name: Anya
Title: Terminator Stalker
Profile: The daughter of ex-KGB, Anya is a beautiful and accomplished exchange student with a dangerous personality. You see, she lives in an alternate universe where she and Kou are lovers, and therefore stalks him day after day using her Soviet intelligence network. But rather than looking from afar, she prefers to glomp him in person.
Voice: If Homuha is cold and haughty, Anya is hot and proud (and airheaded). She also speaks very wealthily, so much that she will not even use contractions such as "she'll" or "won't". Maybe something like an obsessive Disney princess. BTW, she must laugh like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVm5Pc5ZiRc

Anya and Erika arrive at Kou's destroyed doorway.
ANYA (O.S.) Kou-sama, 'tis I! I have come to visit you! Please come and answer your door-hole! ERIKA (O.S.) Kou-kun, what happened to your door. It looks like you just got robbed by the Kool Aid man. ... ANYA (O.S.) (excited) Oh, I cannot wait any longer! I hope that you do not mind if I let myself in! ERIKA (O.S.) Yay, home invasion. Skyrim-style. |
Homuha (whom Anya calls "Cucumber Roll") picks up a stick of food and hands it to Kou, but it crumbles into a mess of black sand.
... ANYA Oh-hohohoho! As expected of the Cucumber Roll! Perhaps you should stick to raw foods. Like cucumber. (cont.) And as for me, I have created a surely scrumptious, personalized dish for my one and only darling! Are you curious of what it is? KOU Well, it's eggs benedict, right? That was the rule. |
Kou is displeased with Anya's attempt at cooking.
|
Name: Erika
Title: Not in Employment, Education, or Training
Profile: A rather intelligent girl who refuses to attend school or do any sort of work at all. Her hobbies include anime, video games, and gay sex, much to the detriment of Kou. Otherwise, she's an all around nice girl who likes memes and hates "normies."
Voice: Erika is a low tension and socially awkward person who speaks casually, breathily, and in a high pitch. Even when she's excited, she might not use an exclamation mark. The only time she gets extremely excited is when she's talking about gay sex or raging about her flat chest. BTW, this is how you Reee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBRxM5yq2NU

NYAO
Next is the pinata! ERIKA (just got spun around) ... Woah, I'm dizzy... And more importantly, I want this stick to go in Kou-kun's butt. ANYA Then you must turn to your left! HOMUHA Then you should take 3 steps forward and thrust as hard you can. |
The girls are discussing the many drawbacks of having breasts.
HOMUHA Erika-chan, do you have any problems with... (remembering that Erika is completely flat-chested) Oh... Forgive me. ANYA (likewise) Do not worry, Erika-san, you have an entire year left! ERIKA (anger intensifies) Just a year!? (cont.) Grr...! S-stop cucking me! You big boob normies! Normieees! (bizarre sound) Reeeeeeee!!! |
Name: Katsura
Title: Final Hyper Maid
Kou and Homuha's motherly maid, and the head maid of the mansion. She is graceful, dutiful, and skilled at basically everything, including cooking, cleaning, stunt driving, and ninjutsu. Unfortunately, she has the reading and math skills of a small child.
Voice: Katsura has only one emotion: complete attentiveness and obedience to her masters. Her vocabulary is not large, but it is proper. She will often say ridiculous or downright dumb things in this tone. Her voice would be deepish and breathy.

There is Katsura, who is wearing a large, heavy-looking
refrigerator like a backpack. The refrigerator is actually tied to her with bungee cord, which looks really uncomfortable. However, Katsura is not bothered in the slightest. KATSURA Good afternoon, Master, Milady. I have come to prepare dinner. KOU Is that what the fridge is for? KATSURA Yes, Master. I thought that your refrigerator might be lacking in ingredients, so I have decided to bring a handful of my own. Have I made a mistake, Master? |
NYAO
Oh, about that. Early on, we decided that if she participated she was guaranteed to win, so we just disqualified her. HOMUHA It was a necessary evil. KOU How is that fair at all!? Don't you guys feel sorry!? KATSURA Please do not concern yourself with me, Master. If I am asked, I will gladly become any sort of loser or failure at life. |
Everyone is playing Go Fish.
KATSURA ... Milady, what number is this? HOMUHA (teaching a toddler) It's 'four.' (cont.) It comes after three. KATSURA (not even close) 'Fffower.' (cont.) Milady, have you any 'fffowers?' |
Name: Nyao
Title: Bad Influence
Kou, Homuha, and Anya's English teacher. She spends most of her classes asleep at her desk (as a "self-study" period) and probably doesn't know English. She loves dirty jokes and will never back down from having fun at someone else's expense. But when things get rough, she's most likely to take charge and be a dependable leader. Juxtaposition and all that.
Voice: Nyao's voice would be tomboyish and very casual. She really likes making dick jokes and the like. That said, she's far from manly. She has a flirtatious side and knows how to use it. BTW, a Christmas Cake is a woman who is past the prime marriage age... because no one will buy a Christmas Cake after Christmas. Not my personal belief, but that's just the term.

Kou bends down and begins to clean up the rubble. Shortly afterwards, someone familiar pays a visit.
NYAO Yo! Whatcha lookin' for down there? You drop your schlong somewhere? Kou looks up at the surprise visitor. KOU Nyao... Sensei...! NYAO 'Ey! What's up? |
KATSURA
Oh, it's Nyao. Good afternoon. HOMUHA (unamused) What are you doing here... NYAO What's wrong? I'm just visiting my favorite students and my BFF! (cont.) And by the way, what happened to your doorway? Oh I know, Katie tried to walk in normally, and her stomach couldn't fit through, and then *fat noises* *door-breaking noises* In a flash, Katsura runs up to Nyao and decks her in the gut with a vicious body hook. |
NYAO
You know... My mom keeps bothering me about getting married. KOU Yeah? But you're not even that old yet. I think. NYAO 'Course not! I've got over half a decade before I need to lower my standards! I'm not some desperate Christmas cake, you know. (cont.) But my mom keeps telling me, "When I was your age, I was married with 3 kids on land and 1 in the boat!" It's ridiculous. KOU Is your mom a pirate? |
Name: Mizuki
Title: Angel of Class 2-A
One of Kou's best friends. Mizuki is the kindest person in class and all around adorable, thus earning him the title of "Angel of Class 2-A".
Voice: Mizuki is the sweetest thing ever and wouldn't hurt a fly. Literally 0 personality flaws. BTW, there seems to be some confusion; The voice should be 100% female. Come on, he has pigtails. How can you have a male voice with pig tails? I'm getting creeped out here.

MIZUKI
Um, you don't have to grovel if you don't want to. I'll be your friend either way. Ehehe~ MIZUKI Oh, you want to grovel? Well okay, that's fine. I think that people should do whatever makes them happy. |
MIZUKI
Um, what kind of music do you like? I like songs that are easy to sing along to, especially with friends. It's just so much fun! MIZUKI Recently, I've been addicted to Let It Go from that 3D cartoon movie. I always find myself singing it whenever I'm doing chores. Oops, that's an embarrassing thing to admit... |
MIZUKI
U-um, I hope you don't mind that I'm a boy... |
