tfw kris only had berdly as an option because susie and noelle went together. berdly is having the time of his gay little life

u can barely tell but kris has a suit-dress combo >:)

so like…. no mercy au where instead of noelle being the one you use, its lancer instead???? idk if anyone else has done this. i call it the spades route :)

you have to choose the “no triple trucies” option and, instead of her joining your party anyways, she goes on ahead to the next room. this is where you start the run

lots more info + images below the cut :)

going into the following room continues a normal route and she joins your party, but if you stay in the alley and go into your KEYS to select lancer, his card pops out and he appears confused for a moment because despite his various amounts of dialogue in the normal game, there are a few rooms where he doesnt have any new remarks about plot progression, so this could apply as an area where he wasn’t paying attention for the past few rooms.

choosing “we split up” would cause lancer to return to your items because he thinks it would be easier to look for them with just kris going on foot, which immediately abandons the route.

you backtrack after this like you would in the snowgrave route. it starts out a bit slow because it follows the same mechanic of defending until you have enough tp; instead of iceshock, lancer casts SPADETHRASH, which immediately turns the enemy into a statue like lancer and rouxls do in the normal route later on. this is like a parallel to being frozen solid in ice; the description upon interacting with the statues would be brief and similar to the normal description for the iced enemies, stating that they’re “petrified solid.”

that’s all im gonna put in this post because im making more drawings/edits/etc for this but yeas. tee hee
