Buichi's Skeleton and Possible Scene Types

Got a lot of blank areas to fill in, and I might have to shift and cut, but I think I'm pretty happy with this setup. Let me know your thoughts.

Day ≤1: Like all of the interests, the days up to and including Day 1 are taken up by the introduction.

Day 2: No scene

Day 3: No scene

Day 4: Mandatory scene and major event: During morning practices, Mitsube engineers a spar between Kaneru and Buichi. (Major events give you bigger bonuses or maluses than minor scenes.)

Days 5-17: "Acquaintance" intermission: No scene for any of the interests.

Day 18: Minor scene (Buichi and Arihitsu): Kaneru meets Buichi and Arihitsu at Stone Pearl Temple. (AND scenes: You get interest/personality points from all involved interests.)

Day 19:

Day 20:

Day 21:

Day 22: Minor scene (Buichi or Mitsube): Buichi sprains his ankle while sparring with Sugimura Rashou. (OR scenes: There are different versions of this event, one for each interest, depending on who you have the higher Interest value with.)

Day 23: No scene

Day 24: Major scene, crossing point for Mitsube and Buichi: While delivering food to Buichi's cottage, Mitsube becomes irritated at how Buichi keeps his Ereni maidservant out of sight. The irritation turns to rage when it is discovered that the reason that Buichi is hiding her is because his father cut out Saori's tongue in order to force her to keep Buichi's secret. Mitsube roughs Buichi up until Kaneru stops him. You're then given a choice - to follow Mitsube to discover the source of his anger or to remain and speak with Buichi. (Crossing Points involve picking one interest over the other, which will give you high interest and personality values from the one and greatly lower the values of the other.)

Day 25: Locked scene: Delivering wine to Buichi. (Locked scenes can only be seen if you have a high enough interest value with the interest.)

Day 26:

Day 27:

Day 28:

Day 29:

Day 30: Major scene, Locked scene: Buichi has a crisis of gender when he attempts to resolve his feelings for Saori. Saori comes to Kaneru, the only person who has shown a glimpse of understanding, in order to try and snap him out of it.

Day 31:

Day 32:

Day 33: Major scene, Crossing Point scene (Buichi/Jiemon): Buichi joins in the quiet, but general rebuke of Jiemon for the poor state of negotiations with the Utani fief. If you are page to Jiemon, you can provide arguments on his behalf.

Day 34-45: Friendship intermission: No events for any of the interests. You are given some vague clues as to how you are getting along with the interests.

Day 46-48: The Seto Affair: Seto Hirohiko challenges Sugimura Rashou to a first-blood duel and inadvertently kills him. The Utani immediately demand blood for blood while the Ginga claim that, by their norms and customs, Seto has not done anything wrong. A trial is held. Buichi belives that Seto should not only be set free unpunished, but should be rewarded for winning a fair duel, but unlike Mitsube, Jiemon, and Nobuhisa, he does not have as great a personal interest in Seto's fate. You must be page to either Jiemon or Nobuhisa to influence the proceedings, otherwise the default status is that Seto will be proscribed to commit suicide. Whatever the result, The Seto Affair will have an effect on Buichi's personality values. An offhand mention is made to reports of the battle of Shin'okayama.

Day 49: Minor scene: Buichi, like Arihitsu, receives a premonition of what has occurred on the mainland. Like Arihitsu, it is entirely coincidental. Also like Arihitsu, he totally gets the day wrong.

Day 50:

Day 51-53: Buichi begins acting coy in front of Kaneru, though he becomes embarrassed at it after a few days and acts cold.

Day 54:

Day 55:

Day 56:

Day 57: Mandatory scene: A messenger nearly dies bringing the news that the Western Claimant is dead and that the Westerners have proclaimed that they are staying out of the fight until the succession is decided. The castle goes into an uproar, with rumors flying about and factions quickly forming. The fief leaders begin an emergency meeting.

Day 58: Minor scene: Buichi and Kaneru talk about how they feel about the recent developments.

Day 59-64:

Day 65: Major Scene: If Buichi's Forgiveness is high enough, he will speak with Mitsube once again. Mitsube gives him a cryptic note regarding his mission.

Day 66: No Scene.

Day 67: Minor Scene, Locked Scene: Buichi and Kaneru ponder what Mitsube is up to.

Day 68-70: Locked Scene: Buichi begins to approach Kaneru again.

Day 71:

Day 72:

Day 73:

Day 74:

Day 75: Reveal and Confession.

Day 76:

Day 77:

Day 78:

Day 79:

Day 80:

Day 81:

Day 82:

Day 83: Major scene: Mitsube has returned from his secret mission to speak with the Ereni. If Buichi's personality values are high enough (medium-high level for one or the other, not below a medium-low level for the other or one?), he will attend the meeting between Mitsube and Jiemon. There should be several choices during this meeting that will add a hefty bonus of points, probably enough to put you over for both values even from a moderate level.

Day 84:

Day 85:

Day 86:

Day 87:

Day 88:

Day 89: Minor scene: As the final negotiations between the Utani and the Ginga break down, Buichi rests for the first time in ages, finally at peace with himself and his role.

Day 90: Departure.
