<span style="color: #555555; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> A few years ago I'd tried my hand at an
urban/contemporary fantasy novel. I wrote about a quarter of it and
decided it would need another six drafts before it would be any good so I put
it on the back burner. But I'd started setting up rules about the world: I knew
there were Changelings who were Fay exiled from their homeland and I knew there
were were-creatures of all types. </span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So I decided to build up the world through
some short stories. "Drink to Seal the Bond" is actually the
second story set in this universe. The first is "Mirrors, the Moon and the
Boy" published in Storm Moon Press' </span><a href="http://www.stormmoonpress.com/books/Forgotten-Menagerie.aspx"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Forgotten Menagerie anthology</span></a><span style="color: #555555; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.

character is isolated. I wanted to explore one of these weres within her
community. </span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In "Drink to Seal the Bond," the
process of creating the brew, starting with the swallowing of the coffee
fruits, is a communal rite of passage. And the celebration that is going
on when Lou enters the building is also a communal celebration. Can't get
more communal than an orgy. </span></div>

celebration - that all came together. On the other hand you have Lou, who
is isolated and looking desperately for partnership, friendship,
community. Giving the brew magical abilities is the glue that brings
these two together.</span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">No, I haven't. I was doing some research on
it, and there's debate if it's really good coffee or if it's some kind of a
fad. I don't know anything about coffee, so that was interesting to
discover.</span></div>

that produce it are essentially factory farms. The civets are in cages
and they're fed so much coffee fruit that their diet and health suffer. I hope
anyone who's a Kopi Luwak fan checks on the conditions in which it's produced.</span></div>

<span style="color: #500050; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">3. Your bio says you enjoy playing D&D. So
let's say that the last character you played was given the chance to drink the
werecivet brew. Would they, and if so, what would they be seeking?</span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">That's a great question. One character
I'm playing is a monk, which for those not familiar with Dungeons and Dragons
is a martial artist, with maybe a little bit of a philosophical bent but not
necessarily a religious person. Her name is Ariana and she's from a noble
family. She grew up very sheltered, but the estate steward knew martial
arts and trained her. Then she was about to be married off to a man much
older than her so she ran away. Not a unique origin story, but I have fun
with her naiveté . But she's reckless enough to want to drink the brew,
even knowing it might have unpredictable consequences.</span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She's definitely trying to find her place in
the world, and if she could drink the brew that's what she'd want to know:
how do I find my place in the world? Is there somewhere physically
I should go? Someone I should meet? How will I know when I'm in the
right place?</span></div>

don't drink coffee. I love chocolate-covered espresso beans,
though. And my spouse makes a great candy with coffee beans, dark
chocolate and coconut. So I like my coffee in candy, rather than in the
cup.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s get this out of the way right at the start – OMRoaMN
is not a good game, nor is it a good Visual Novel. If anime girls with enormous
breasts are your thing, this will probably service your particular kink, but
other than that, I can’t think of anyone I’d recommend it to.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s start with the story, even though I realize that story
in a Hentai VN is about as important as plot in porn – basically irrelevant.
Problem is, VNs require a fair bit of reading if you’re not skipping straight
to the sexy pictures (which aren’t especially sexy either), and in this case,
what you’re reading is from the gross, manipulative headspace of a creepy boss
who systematically threatens, harasses, and degrades the titular married nurse
into all sorts of creepy sex. It’s exploitive and unpleasant in all the worst
boss/secretary tropes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Furthering the pain is that the writers (or at least
translators) seem to write sex on the level of a bunch of horny fourteen-year-old
boys who don’t understand anatomy and have never heard of terms like
“refractory period”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then there’s the art. It’s a staple of Japanese hentai that
sex organs have to be pixelated, so again, hope you really like enormous tits,
because that’s all you’ll be seeing, plus some pixels that you can imagine
might be a penis and/or a vagina. Oh, and a sound track with a lot of “sexy”
moaning.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bottom line, don’t buy this game. There lots of other sexy
games out there that aren’t exploitive and creepy, play one of those.</div>
