"Frankly, this is the perfect chance. If I can turn him in alive, we won't have to worry about money for a while. His reward is far larger than Cordelia's, at any rate."

@description = Hi there; Rikki here, giving the NEKP a good solid kick after all this time. I know Hoshi said Rebo was going next, but...I stole her turn. >:D Hopefully someone else will pick up the next chapter in fewer than three and a half years. :O

@description = Stuff of note: Did you look on the introductory screen? Yes, this IS version 1.6. I restarted this so many times! Rose used to be named Blanche. In 1.4, she was a big explosive demolitionist like Cordelia. Gen became a character in 1.3, but not an informant until 1.5. In 1.2, Cole (then named Nicholas) had this gorgeous duel with Seijin. *___* And in 1.0, Ryda clouted Eden with a pan.
\nSpeaking of her, eee~! Not only did she burn Cole, she used the word 'blackguard'. HAH <3~

@description = Special thanks to everyone ever. :D <3 But especially the foley and midi artists I ganked material from, the kamishibai artists I ganked motivation and inspiration from, and my younger brother for being my eternal beta tester.
\n...I'll stop rambling now, as this is already the longest chapter of the NEKP even if you don't count these author's notes. XD Look in the main directory for extra images and preliminary character designs...and good luck to the next author!
