>Aesera: "Damn. Okay, pass the word to look around that area. They've likely only recently left. Hirenko, can you describe them?"
>Kanako: Relay the information to the others.
>Aesera: "Rumia, you look... well, odd. Is something wrong?"
>Ranna stares at it in confusion.
>"...The hell?" She mumbles, remembering the ribbons in Mokou's hair and on her pants.
>Why would this be here? Has Mokou met them? Is she keeping secrets from the rest of us?

>Vante: Leave with an evidently disappointed (not sad but a bit angry) expression. Entertain Alyssa's question.

>Mystia: What kind of triangle?
>To Vante: "I can get in." Trollface smile!
>Do the walls have barbs or metal fencing or something?
>Mystia: What.
>Are our wings folded under our clothes? If they are, then flying is out of the question, unless we can cut two slits through the shirt. Are our claws sharp enough for that?
>Vante: Look at Mystia. Be almost pissed.
>Look at what Mystia is looking at. What is that thing?
>Notice the counter-theft things on the wall. Whisper "How are you going to fly over that?"
>Mystia: Tell him our brilliant master plan! "I'm going to need you to help me cut two slits at the back of my shirt."
>Gale and Orin enter the main office.
>Orin: "Whoo."
>Gale: "Yippee. An office."
>Is the grey-haired woman looking at us?
>If she's facing away from us: Newan: "Erm... You're stepping on my arm. I appreciate the help, but..."
>If she's looking at us: Newan: Have sword at the ready, but be quiet for now.

>Kanako: Attempt to do so. If we can: [We have a situation. Aesera and I are with Hirenko, and may be under attack.] Give our location. [Whoever's nearby, move in to assist. Everyone else, keep looking for Maribel and Renko.]

...that Vante is enjoying himself...(OOC: If it's not too much to ask, can I request that you change this, YJ? It doesn't fit into Vante's character at all.)
Her title is Frozen Angel Of Death(Completely unoriginal) which means immunity to death.

"I hate my life," mumbled Gale.
"Soon you won't have one to hate if you don't do anything!" said Orin, exasperated.
"Fine..."
Gale summoned his whip of light and FURY, and began lashing at the red barrier that was enveloping them.
((What crapiness? That banner is great))
((Act 2 after Arc 3? I thought there was four arcs))
((Who'se the purple haired on in the banner?))
The solution to dealing with Rin's ability was clear to Aesera, although it was the sort of thing that most people probably wouldn't realize. The key was that the effect was purely one of memory; it only looked like a time skip. It wasn't some autopilot thing, either. They were in full control of themselves; they simply didn't remember what they'd done. The seeming jump from one position to another could easily throw people off, so the key was to have a plan and execute it. If you knew what you were going to do and could determine where in that plan you were, you could keep it going through the skip. And after testing Rin's combat style for a bit, Aesera had her plan.
Aesera threw her lance, and there was a skip. Rin was right in front of her, and Aesera had the blade of Rin's scythe caught between the two prongs of her lance, exactly as planned. Aesera merged the two prongs together, and as she'd thought, her weapon, one of divine origin-was stronger than Rin's. The blade of Rin's scythe broke, and Aesera took advantage of the opening by punching Rin in the face. There was another skip, and Rin had Aesera up against the wall. And then Kanako struck, grabbing Rin. Another skip, and Rin had been thrown over to Rumia. "Rumia," Aesera said, "the enemy needs to die. I'll let you do the honors."
>Alice: "A... fairy?!"
>Alice: "What are you doing in the outside world?!"
Well, shit. [Kanako, that's not Suwako.]
[I know, but...]
[Just hold it off. I have a plan.]
And it was a simple plan. And somewhat crazy, too, but crazy often was effective precicely because it was crazy.
Aesera took her lance in hand and charged Rin. And as she did, she did two other things. She focused on her weapon, trying to send as much energy as she could into it. And she also made another attempt to contact her other self. [Azeri, this would be a really good time for some divine intervention.]
OOC: Aesera actually decapitated Rin. Not that it's a big deal, though.
Aesera focused on feeling the chaos within Rin, on drawing it into herself. And then, with all the strength she had, she thrust her hand into the hole in Rumia's chest.
---------------------------------------------
OOC: In case it wasn't obvious, I'm going for the whole 'absorbing the chaos' thing. And if there is a mind battle, YJ, know that I was not exaggerating about Aesera's will. She wouldn't let anything distract her, wouldn't ever waver, so if there is a mind-to-mind encounter, please remember that.
(OOC: Actually, I don't recall anyone ever using the chaotic connection. Mind giving an example?)
YJ, I believe an update is in order. Please don't shoot me.
(OOC: Only one more question before I type this thing up. Did Nanaya warp with Newan and Nazrin?)
((If I remember correctly. Remilia is in the Outside world, and Byakuren had already returned from Makai. Explain please))
Bump.
Also, a tip: if people aren't posting for a while, don't wait for them. Some of the participants will drop out without saying anything. I've done a lot of these things before; trust me on this one. If you insist on waiting for everybody, this thing's going to die out before you know it.
(Will continue. Give me a break ;_;)
If Gensokyo's part of the outside world again, that means Kanako has access again to all the faith she has in Gensokyo, right? Which would also mean that she'd know the barrier's gone, right?
Also, when we run into the chaotic versions of ourselves, are they supposed to share personality traits? Like, are they distorted or opposite versions of us personality-wise, or anything like that? Or will they just look like us?
Hey Kat. Idk if you'll get this, but me and Squawks discussed, and we bot think that the constant fighting is getting to be an annoyance.
I told him about my ideas and hopes for Arc 3, when we return to Gensokyo.
I'm hoping that we'll get a bit of time to relax for a moment. Return home, chill out, meet or greet those who we haven't seen in a while.
That our characters will be able to explore Gensokyo a bit, so we can know our turf.
I personally want Ranna to go to the netherworld so she can talk to her parents. Possibly meet Akyuu afterwards so she can learn about Gensokyo.
Squawks would like to also go to the netherworld so that he can have Newan talk to Nagisa.
I think everyone needs some training aswell.
So I think you should slow things down a little. Give some time for some character development and a bit of shenanigans.
Orin prolly is worried about Satori and Okuu. Youmu is prolly worried about Yuyuko. Nazrin is prolly worried about Shou. Kanako worried about Sanae and vice versa. Mystia is worried about her shop. Alice worried about her house.
We need a bit of time to slow down and relax and not get our guts ripped out.
Also if I may suggest, I've envisioned this scene for a while now, but when we get back to gensokyo, Byakuren should arrange a sorta swimming event, to relax and destress us. We'd go swimming and have a good time. Shenanigans are prolly inevitable.
But yeah. Fight fight fight fight gets really tiresome. That's why i despise Bleach.
Please do take this into consideration. -bows-
WELL I DIDN'T KNOW SO DONT YELL AT ME FOR RUSHING YOU WHEN I WASN'T
Anyways did Sampson quit or something?
Squawkers
You do remember how Yukari said that she can prevent the death of everyone ONCE? Aesera died once, but Yukari intervened. Now, Newan died once, and Yukari intervened again.
"Good." Aesera ended the call, then walked over to Kanako. "Kanako, we may have a problem."
"A problem," Kanako said. "Another one? What is it this time?"
The Chaotic Connection allows you to adapt to the Chaos that attacks you, only once, allowing you to grow stronger while consuming it. and if you use it, it will be at the cost of most of your partner's mana, stamina, and physical well-being
Talking requires very little on her part. She may be too drained to do much, but she can still talk.
Although, YJ, if you want me to, I can always edit to make her drained state more apparent.
I guessed it was something like that. I meant how he suddenly has a sickle sword. Did he level up, or was Xera like "Welp Nanaya isn't here so have some power" or what?
Let's see...
?Both Vante and Myschi are unconscious.
?Myschi has expeneded her lifeline.
?There WERE crystals stabbed through the bird brain's chest.
?Vante is lying on top of Flandre.
?The Hakurei Shrine grounds are within the ruins now.
Am I right?
Question. What happened to the corrupted replicas of ourselves? Are we still gonna fight them? Cause I was looking forward to that :3
And huhwut The Human Village is gone? What about Keine and Akyuu D:
((Oh crap. I see a massive reply in my future))
((Where is/what happened to Nanaya? Is Cirno there? since Fairies apparently don't respawn in their last known location))
((And the Achievement Newan used was -WITH A THOUSAND WILLS ALL IN ONE! (HARD, NEWAN)))
OOC: I take it that Myschi can't wake up unless YJ says so?
(OOC:Um, sorry about that. You know NaNoWriMo? Yeah, I'm kind of doing that, so I really won't be posting much during the week. Sorry. =/)

What are Nanaya and Nazrin going to say in response to Aesera? If you tell me that, I can bunny them through it (and if they're helping Aesera find Nanaya, then bunnying them through that wouldn't be too hard, either).

Upon hearing the word binary, Ranna took her chance and retreated into the darkness of the shrine.
She let out a sigh and scratched her head, looking back at the door she had just come through.
"Binary? Seriously? We're not computers..." she said aloud to no one in particular. With another sigh she turned and began walking into the dark halls of the shrine.
"Ah...where was it again..." She muttered as she tried to navigate through the darkness. To none's surprise, this only managed to bring her face closer to the floor. Her body fell with a thud as she tripped over soemthing that was on the ground.
"Ow...! " She let out an annoyed 'tch' as she turned her head to look at what had tripped her. She squinted to no avail, the darkness completely masking the hard object she had ran into. The girl mumbled a few complaints as she got to her feet and continued her search for one of the rooms that had been here prior to their journey to the outside world. Eventually she came to a door. She carefully opened it and peered in.
Sucess, she had made it to one of the rooms from before, her own actually. A pale illuminate shone in from the single window in the room.
Ranna let out a relieved sigh and stepped inside. As she was about to close the door behind her, she stopped.
The girl opened the door wide and looked in the direction she had came from.
Nothing but pitch black darkness occupied the long and narrow hallway.
She frowned uneasily and reluctantly pulled herself back into the room, closing the door behind her.
After a quick inspection of the room, she sat her bag down and found the futon she had used before. With a sigh and a yawn, she slid under the covers and rolled onto her side, her gaze facing the door. Silence quickly took over the room. Ranna laid there still, as if waiting for something. Slowly, the girl's eyes began to close, and soon enough she was asleep. She'd need to have energy if she were to leave for the Netherworld tomorrow.
Every Single One Of You, Do me a favour and Read The First Page Of This Thread whenever you need to know something about your character or the plot. did you guys even look at the first page when I spent time editing it to make it not-so-vague?
If you're talking about Mima being in the outside world, Aesera doesn't know that. And if she finds anything that indicates that's where Mima is, then she'll go looking for a way to get back to the outside world. Is this something she'd find a way to do, or would she fail to?
Also, you say that we'll have greater plot influence for a while, but are you sure about that? People can be wary of doing much that effects the plot, because such things can easily go against your own plans (and against things about the plot that we don't actually know about yet). So if you want people to take more initiative, are you ready to handle the potential consequinces?
And would I be correct in assuming that it's okay to encounter basic, low-level chaos enemies? Oh, and Aesera can call on her new sword thing when she chooses to, just like the lance, right?
Do they actually do something, then?
Also, is it possible for Aesera to have the lance and sword simultaniously?
Well, she's certainly going to try it once. She'll learn the lesson really fast, though.
Oh, and by 'they', I meant the wings.
OOC: I'm hanging back for a while until someone leaves the shrine grounds.
What powers/abilities is Aesera able to use with the sword right now? And what does the cloak do? I don't even remember getting that.
((YJ shouldn't you post the part with Nazrin searching for Nanaya and Mima? It shouldn't really be Squawk's decision as to whether he fidns them or not))
Also, YJ, what exactly are we looking for in that first post? Because I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
And in the absense of anything from you, I'm going to make my own assumptions as to what Nazrin found. Please let me know if I need to change anything.
YJ, will Rinnosuke be there? Or is that something it's okay for me to decide?
((Also, Define what exacttly is 'infected matter'))
((My update...?))
((I see I wasn't straight forward enough))
-Are there human, youkai, or animal corpses left in the wake of chaos? Yes
-What happens to water that has been effected by Chaos? Water that has been infected is Chaos.
-Can Rhiseza Fly? Yes.
-Can Newan Fly? No.
-Can Chaos spawns fly? No.
-Does Chaos rest/sleep? No.
-Can Chaos swim? They become the water.
-Can an infected area of Gensokyo be reclaimed? Yes. You need Rhiseza and Gale to reclaim infected land.
-Will Byakuren ever be important? Why don't you find out?
-How high are the levels of the Chaos Spawns currently within the Human village? Extremely Low.
-How high for all of Gensokyo? Extremely high in Heaven. ExLow in human village. Low in the underground. Unknown where else.
It would probably be better than just randomly killing him off before then, so yes.
Also, YJ, what are the abilities of Kanako's new weapon?
((So Do I get an update on whats happening where Mokou is in the school? And did the telepathy work?))
OOC: YJ, is Tenshi's apperance something you want to do yourself, or is it something you'd be okay with me doing? And if you do want me doing it, will either Aesera, Kanako, or Tenshi know why Tenshi appears?
OOC: I get an upgrade? Wheeee! So, did I just time-jump?
((I noticed that. Are you mad at me or something? Please don;t ruin my marvelous plans for my characters. Else I might just be the next one to consider it))
((You know~ If you lose too many players.This wont be able to keep going))
((But that's besides the point. I asked you to please not corrupt Mokou. So I'll say it again))
((Please, if you have even the slightest shread of kindness within your being...Please, please do not corrupt Mokou or Ranna alike))
((Also, I seen on the first post it says Byakuren will be selectable in Act 2. Will you be getting rid of Nanaya?))
What are you doing with mine? I didn't think there was anything there that required you to do anything. Although if you are doing some part of the fight, I'd ask that Kanako not use the limited-use abilities of her new weapon unless the situation turns nasty and they're needed. She's not going to want to waste them in an easy fight, not even as a test run; there's no telling when she might need them, after all.
There wasn't confusion. I didn't think my post needed a reply from you.
Oh? It didn't? So, I guess I was the one that was confused. You didn't state that you wanted to do the combat scene, did ya?
I didn't state anything; I just assumed I'd be the one doing it. I saw no reason to think otherwise. So yes, I'll do the fight scene.
However, it won't be exactly the same. It'll probably be something like Tir Na Nog, instead of having Touhous
...Huh?
I don't quite get why you'd use that as a reference... as far as I can tell it never got off the ground, so...
But no touhous? Please explain this better.
Yeah, don't restart. Just bring in new participants as soon as you can work it in.
Also, which characters were Sampson's?
Kat This is your first rp right?
If So I suggest You try to get some advice from those skilled in it's arts.
I'm not quite a good advisor since I've never had an rp I started reach its end. Though I have helped others rps reach their end, with I as the driving force behind them.
Anyways I'm not afraid to speak the truth of my opinion. And if you want help to improve, you need first know what your mistakes are.
Miles and XinXin's leaving was mostly on their own part. Miles completely lost interest and XinXin never had interest to begin with. But there was definitely factors that lead to them leaving. For Miles the bunnying was the last straw, for XinXin it was the 200 word limit.
While yes my nagging may just be of opinion and observation, It's a good idea to keep your players in mind. Despite the plot being yours or maybe not, the players advancing the story are the other people, and it's sorta the GM's goal to keep their best interest in mind.
So while you don't have to take it to heart, it doesn't mean you should completely ignore it.
Input is always welcome btw, to my own ramblings.
Have fun with the people you are playing with. It's a game and leave the personal drama at the door.
This is the first time I've put personal feelings into Rumia's PGames. I apologise.
As Mystia and Wriggle begin to stir up a scene, Mokou looks in their direction, a blank expression on her face.
She watches as Wriggle lures more chaos into the village. A faint hint of irritation flashes across her face, but soon vanishes.
"So Vante" She starts, turning her face back towards him. "I'll be taking Akyuu somewhere safer alright? She's not strong 'nough to get away from these bastards" Mokou says as she walks over and kneels beside the child. Mokou carefully looks over Akyuu's bruised body for any cuts and signs of possible corruption.
(It's small because Vante has to answer this)

"So Vante" She starts, turning her face back towards him. "I'll be taking Akyuu somewhere safer alright? She's not strong 'nough to get away from these bastards" Mokou says as she walks over and kneels beside the child. Mokou carefully looks over Akyuu's bruised body for any cuts and signs of possible corruption.
Sonae has to post where/how/when/whatever she did/brought Akyuu too before I can reply to her.)((ohshit I missed that Typing now.))
know where Yukari lives?((No one knows that.
Mayohiga
Location Somewhere around the Hakurei Border?
Wait. If all three of them were going to look for them, there was no use for him to come, but he knew what else there was to look at.
He ran back the way he came, approaching Ranna. "Are the people who were corrupted by Chaos still here? I want to know what happened to them before they fought us."
((Patchy is lying on the Floor. Koakuma is still in the Shrine.))
((What Underworld? I hope you aren't gonna fucking steal my motivation moment from Ranna >:))
((Also I'll post tomorrow for Ranna's little Team))
(Too tired tonight)
((Oh now, I think you just made a bad choice there child))
(( 地底 chitei, means underground))
((Underworld to me is greek mythology. Hades and Cerberus and all that stuff))
((And should you really be giving penalties when you only have 3 players?))
Isn't the underworld Komachi/Eiki/Yuyuko/Youmu. :| What is this I don't even
Newan is going to meet that Nagisa girl or something.
If anyone wants to do Alice/Alyssa's journey to Mugenka, say so. If not I'll do it.
Mugenkan (夢幻館, Mugenkan, "mansion of fantasies") is a mysterious mansion located under the Lake of Blood. It is the final destination for the player in Lotus Land Story.
Exams. End of Semester. You know, work and shit. Trying not to fail.
"Yeah. Call some black thing that tried to eat you. Incredibly believable.""I want to summon it, duh. If it's an insect, I can technically control it. If it doesn't hijack me, hooray!"
"What if I told you that I made it because I wanted to?"
"Then why would you be scared as all hell and run off, eh?"
"W-Well, every scientist that makes a new, all-powerful creation will be startled at first... And since I made it, what if I told you that I could control it."
"...What are you saying, Nightbug?"
"I'm saying, what would all of you do, under that slim chance that I could control that beast?"
"...I doubt it..." The Ant Queen frowns, and her eyelid twitches slightly.
"Ohoho. Why not I just call it here ri-"
"...Don't... Okay. Maybe you can control it. I don't know... What do you want?"
"Sakuya"
Sakuya turns around to see Flandre standing there.
"I'm coming too okay?"
Sakuya nods with a faint smile.
So the group prepares for their journey and heads off, with Sakuya leading the way.
OOC: Wait, so is Wriggle coming or not?
OOC: Question! Who exactly are in the border?
OOC: I don't expect you to do it. So to clarify stuff, none of our partners got a message from Kanako?
((Excuse me miss, but why exactly AREN'T you bothering Orphea aswell? It's be even longer since her last post.))
Question: Is Rhiseza able to heal the corrupted land?
Sakuya, Flandre and Ranna had set off towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion, in the darkness, the journey was dull and quite boring. Flandre herself was visibly annoyed and extremely bored. She would bother both Ranna and Sakuya for anything that they would see or hear along their journey. As they flew through Gensokyo, they noticed that Chaos had infected the human village, and most of the bamboo forest of the lost. Sakuya had carried Ranna and they flew towards the SDM in a rather straight line. Flandre was flying almost in a completely swirl around the duo. All they heard in the darkness(Besides Flandre,) were the screams of Youkai either being eaten alive, or corrupted. Also the occasional roar or loud growl. Misty lake was almost untouched. The water as clear as always and fairies still there, oblivious to all the chaos around them. Flandre wanted to take this chance to go "play" with the fairies, but was soon denied by Sakuya. Ranna also gave her silent objections. Cirno was spotted with Daiyousei, becoming a "guard" of misty lake. Of course, Sakuya and Ranna "somehow" managed to bypass the fairies' "defenses", and arrived at the Mansion.
They landed, and walked towards the oversized gates. From the outside, the mansion was alright. Everything was in place besides the gatekeeper. Meiling was missing. Fairy maids still however, guarded the inside of the mansion. As soon as they saw Sakuya, they opened the gates. Greeting Sakuya with their usual bows. Flandre was the last to enter. She was staring at the lake and at all the fairies around the lake. They seemed ready for battle, which to Flandre, were prepared for playtime. Ranna however, took the initiative and pulled Flandre in, ignoring her protests and squirming. Nothing had been corrupted on the inside. The flowers in the garden still bloomed and the walls of the mansion had never been tampered with.
Even better, The Scarlet Devil had not been touched, as seen by the trio once they entered. Through a large stained glass window, they made out a figure of a girl with bat's wings, being served by fairies. It was obviously Remilia.
Chaos had only made their effect present on half of Gensokyo...

Was that the only post involving my characters?
And I think Orphea isn't gonna post. But keep bugging her so i don't have to be bothered
How does Rhiseza's land-healing work, exactly? Because in case you haven't figured it out, Aesera's going to ask her to do that.
"Gods are unchanging. They can not learn, they can not evolve, for they are perfection in your eyes. However, humans can rise above that. Humans can change, can learn, can become better than they are now. In time, anything can be understood, any boundary passed. Gods too are blinded by their biases, and are unchanging, while humans can evolve, can improve.
You humble humans can see with not only your eyes, but with your mind, making conclusions. With work, diligence, and perseverance, one can see more than the gods, for the gods are a permanent standard, while human perception is a variable.
In the end, there is nothing that one can not improve on in themselves, and that is why one may supersede the gods, blind in their perfection.
If Heaven, Hell, and Earth were to merge into one, then, while the demons and angels would fight, being led to do so by their masters, and while they would be more powerful than most humans, the living have a power others do not. They can make choices.
Choices make you human, choices let you choose what you do, who you are, who you serve, and what you think.
Is it not better to choose what you do, who you follow, than to fight in a war because it is your nature?"

((Uh... ^^' Are you just gonna leave me hanging?))
((I haven't. What's it look like (texture/color/shape/size/etc.)?))
I'm trying. Give me a damn break geez.
I should be nagging you to post in my rp, since you haven't posted in more than 3 months, soon to be four, but I'm not.
I haven't posted here in about a month and a half because I was BUSY.

I need a little more before I can really do anything. You left off with my group walking through the wall, and I really don't know where to go from there.
Should I post? Or wait for you to finish?
(By now you should know who you will be fighting. First, are the enemies from the fight you had earlier at the shrine. Do you remember them? Of course you do! I mean it was in the outside world.((...So we can fight all the ones from there? YUUKA MINE!))
((...So we can fight all the ones from there? YUUKA MINE!))Yes
((Characters were...Sariel, Yumeko, Meira, Kotohime, Kasen, Yuuka, ....who else? Plus Rinnosuke.))
((Can well kill any off? Have the healed up? Are they back to full power? Are they more ready than ever? What do without a healer? Will the chaotic versions of ourselves be in the fight? What about Nanaya? And what about Squawks? He's gone MIA.))
Ah, that's good then. That he'll return.
