Helper Himari
is a choose your own adventure style interactive fanfic/game published on Twitter featuring characters from BanG Dream!!.
The premise is that the Bandori girls awake to find themselves trapped in an unfamiliar location, with no idea how they got there. A mysterious voice from above tells them that one girl from the group must complete a 'challenge' each day, with punishment for refusal being death. Each day followers need to vote for which girl will undertake today's challenge, as well as what decisions she will make during it. Challenges range from mundane to deadly, with the options selected drastically altering the outcome of each round and whether the girl doing the challenge will survive or not.
Examples:
- Acid Pool: Chisato is killed in the third challenge falling into one.
-
Breather Level: After three straight challenges that have resulted in deaths, the sixth challenge simply involves Himari solving a wordsearch that hints as to how the previous victims have been killed. - Drowning Pit: How Tae meets her end during the fourth challenge.
- Driven to Suicide/Death From Above: Kaoru deliberately runs into the forest to end her life after learning that Chisato has been killed, resulting in the game master crushing her to death with a large rock.
- Duel to the Death: The ninth challenge involves a fight to the death between Tomoe and Yukina.
- Eat That: The eigth challenge involves Misaki consuming a series of progressively more disgusting items, including a cricket, a candle, her own fingernails, a glass of the water that Tae drowned in and (possibly?) human blood.
- Human Pincushion: Arisa is stabbed this way with hundreds of needles from head to toe during the seventh challenge. Fortunately, she survives.
- I Have Your Wife: The game master forces Tomoe into a fight to the death with Yukina by threatening to kill her sister Ako if she refuses.
- Off with Her Head!!: Hina is killed this way in the fifth challenge.
- Sadistic Choice: Sayo is faced with this during the fifth challenge, given the options of saving her sister Hina or being granted freedom from the game. She hesitates just long enough for Hina to be killed anyway, and the game master then chops off both of her legs and leaves her to die of blood loss.
- Take a Third Option: At the final stage of the eigth challenge, Misaki is faced with the choice of drinking a glass of water spiked with an unknown amount of cyanide or refusing and being executed anyway for failing the challenge. She does neither of these and points out that the challenge only specified that she needed to eat every item provided to her, there was nothing in the rules about drinking. This turns out to be the correct answer and she is able to pass the challenge.
- Unwinnable by Design: The author revealed that from the moment Yukina was voted to be the ninth challenger, there was no possible outcome that would have allowed both her and Tomoe to live.
