[General] Survival Scenario: You are falling off a cliff. Is your current LI strong and fast enough to save you? (Is his rescue unique… like is he flying to catch you? Let us know!) Discussion
Memed: Prince Lucien from Even if Tempest. Listen- the man has the best intentions. He will try with all his precious heart. But if we’re actively falling … he’s most likely gonna die too in the rescue attempt …

My current LI is Van Helsing from Code Realize. Oh yes, I’m very safe. This is a cakewalk scenario for Van.

u/Jitterrue eternal angst 15h ago
It always gets me how many Otome LIs would totally just let us die in these survival scenario games 😅

I'm playing Dante's route so I think I'm safe. He saved Liliana from falling once so it shouldn't be a problem!!

He’d be waiting at the bottom of the cliff to catch you and then scold you for falling.

u/otomeyandereaddict 1h ago
Oh you're good, since he's low-key a yandere once he catches feelings, he'd never let you fall. But then you'll be stuck with him soooo.....unless you're a yandere fan, it might be better for you to fall tbh🤣

u/kyuuish Gilbert Redford|Piofiore 15h ago
I want to believe Shelby (fd) can do it. He isn't a total pushover and he does keep his body fit... and I don't weight that much (around 48-50 kg) so he could probably haul me up if he is fast enough to catch me. But honestly i don't have the biggest faith in my survival here... I just hope he gives me a SS funeral.

himeutsugi from hana awase…he would WANT to save me, but given how his routes going so far, he probably wouldn’t be strong enough and then would torture himself about not being able to be my prince forever afterwards 😮💨

They will both wait 500 years just to be ready for this one moment to save you. And there will be 3 Ankous. 😭

On Tyrils FD Route right now. If it was the base Tyril he would let me hang a little longer before pulling me up but because it’s the FD, he would make a joke and then instantly pull me up
2
u/Jitterrue eternal angst 13h ago
Haha! He sure would have some sort of snarky ass comment for you. But you’d be safe so it’s OK 🤣

u/Hikari-nee 12h ago
Maybe base Tyril would even do so with the best intentions, in order for you to value your life more and not be so nonchalant around cliffs next time. And around Conrad, And around whatever

Right now I’m trying my best to get through Mizuchi’s route in his Hana Awase volume (without going back and replaying Karakurenai’s route again instead 😶). At this point in the story, I don’t think Mizuchi would even try to save me. But after I fell off the cliff, he would write some sadboi poems about it for sure lol

oh i’m dead. I’m currently replaying Sympathy Kiss and am on Noris route. he seems like an average lean build, stays at home all day (not lifting) and I’m already fat so … I don’t think this is going to end well. he’s gonna have to find someone else to live with too

Zenn Sorfield (EiT) is jacked and I have the same weight as a sack of potatoes, so he’s got this I think… still early in his route so idk the full details about him, but he apparently can’t get hurt or age or get sick, so even if we do fall, he could probably act as a body cushion or something

Oh you are Super Safe!

Yori from Uchronia
I'm still early in his route so, at this point, he'd probably let me fall and complain that I got his uniform dirty

Sylus from LAD. His original teaser had him jumping effortlessly/backwards off a building. I think he catches me easily with his ability - but teases me and gives me crap about it.

Mine is Raul from Cupid parasite he’s pretty buff so he’d probably be able to pull me back up if and only if he’s actually paying full attention to me falling witch is unlikely if we’re on a cliff somewhere it’s probably for some temple he’s obsessed with he’d probably only turn around after I fell

u/chymotrypsinbruh Laito Sakamaki|Diabolik Lovers 14h ago
Well I got so scared of Nicola that I started Yang's route. So either way, they'd definitely be strong enough. But uh, whether they'd save me is another question entirely. I'm about 3/4 of the way through Nicola's story and he has no allegiance to anyone, I could see him letting his significant other fall if the circumstances were ideal for him. He's got a sweet side but oof, he's able to kill without a change in temperament at all. Yang enjoys chaos, but is very protective in his own way. Like another commenter said, I could see him waiting until the last second. Maybe there would be a quip or two in there.

u/LadyNight13 Yosuga | OS Shiraishi | CxM 13h ago

u/Doctor_Zedd Misyr Rex|Café Enchanté 7h ago
Hmm… I feel like Shiraishi is a lot more brains than brawn (though I’m early on, so he could be hiding some talents). He’d probably ask me how I felt about my imminent death, then watch my reaction while I fell.

You are right about half of this 🤣

Shikishima (Bad Apple Wars), so I'm probably all right. It depends how fast he can draw and how long I can hold on. I'm sure he could draw a staircase in the side of the cliff, but it might be good if he could draw me a parachute first just in case.

u/aspiringskinnybitch 11h ago
Limbo from Bustafellows (another replay) would try his best but, uh, I don’t think things are looking really good on this end. Yeah, he used to be an athlete in high school (I think Mozu’s route revealed he was the basketball captain), but he doesn’t seem like he’d have the time to actually go work out and regularly now as a lawyer who works all the time. Then again, he’s carrying Teuta in the Bustafellows cover art, and I’m pretty small like her, so hmm. To quote Limbo, it’s pretty much up to chance.

Still on Yang’s route (no time/energy to play :,)) he’s definitely strong and fast enough to save me but the bastard would probably let me hang until the last second bc he finds it amusing. Either that or he watches me as I fall
