The Elements Of Gensokyo - Act One: Borderful Infestation Parasite

[Orphea.Russ]

You set off towards the University before the last four, reaching there quite fast~ However, somehow you took a roundabout and wound up at the second entrance at the side gate of the campus grounds. There's a security post here.

>Wonder how we got lost, exactly.
>Approach the security post anyways, keep Youmu on alert.

[Sampson]

>Proceed to university's campus grounds?

>If you do, encounter Security Guard. WHUT DO YOU SAY?

>Gale and company reach the university campus, but are stopped by a security guard.

>Gale fishes through his pockets and eventually pulls out his wallet, which he conveniently took before heading out of his apartment the day before.  He takes his student ID out of it and shows it to the guard.

>Gale: "Uh, hello, sir.  I'm Gale Halebeck, student at Tokyo University...uh, I'm here for the open lecture on..."
>He glances at a nearby poster.
>Gale: "...On, uh, poison ivy.  Yeah.  Expanding my interests."
>Orin (whispering): "You suck at this whole 'smooth operation' thing."

((Eh. Well Ranna wouldn't walk into there. She's looking to hack the system not photoshop))

>Kanako: "I make it my business to keep tabs on the land in which I live. I've heard the rumors."
>Aesera: "They're preparing to go somewhere. Where would they be doing that 'preparing'?"
>"And Rumia, I've seen what people under the influence of the chaos look like. You can see it in their eyes. We don't have that look. And if you think there's any chance that I'd willingly be on its side, than you either know nothing about the chaos or far more than I do, because I've seen nothing but unprovoked attacks from it, and based on that, it's an enemy. And, again, Mima saw me in the last battle. Azeri, whose embodiment I am, came to Mima's aid, and I was there, too. The three of us spoke for a bit before I went to go end the battle. Ask her about it. Or I can bring you to Nanaya, if you know who she is, and she can also verify that I'm not your enemy. Or just kill me. Just don't waste time, because we don't have a lot of it. And, Rumia, if you know anything about the chaos, then you should know that if it wants Hirenko dead, not even you will be able to fight it off on your own."

>Wonder how we got lost, exactly.
>Approach the security post anyways, keep Youmu on alert.

>You reach the security post, seeing a man walking about. Youmu is alert, looking about for anythig suspicious.

>Orin (whispering): "You suck at this whole 'smooth operation' thing."

>"...Poison wh-" The guard looks at the poster before rushing into his little cubicle thing, pulling out a another poster. It says "AntiMatter: The Energy of the Future."

>He then absent mindedly allows your entrance. "You seem to be a smart lad. Hope dis'll work." He then looks at Orin. "But I'm going to have some problems with this girl. Doesn't look like she's here for the science."

>Rumia is silent.

>Awaiting Hirenko.

>Vante to security guard: "I'm with him, and so is she." Point to Mystia.
>Ask Mystia mentally: do we look like we're older than Gale?
>If asked who he is:
?If yes: "I'm an alumni."
?If no: "I'm here to go to the library to get some books. He's going to class, while I get some extra reading material for him."
>Mystia: Are we wearing our bandana? Poke Vante's fabric case.
(OOC: The case is slung over his shoulder.)

[日巫子]

> "...Okay, I trust you."

[XinXin]

((I'm under the assumption I'm with Gale and Vante, if not post change))

>Alice wonders what that card Gale took out was.
>Alice is still awkwardly carrying her dolls and her grimoire.
>Alyssa wonders what to do since she's so out of place.
>Alyssa looks around, and realises Youmu and Rhiseza are missing.
>Alyssa goes to Vante and pulls at his sleeve, gesturing for him to lower his body so she can whisper to him about them.

> You look about the same as Gale. You are one year older, anyway. However, you just say that you're going to the library while he's in class.

>Mystia is not wearing her Bandana. However, she has hidden her ears in that cap or hers. Which looks weird to outside people. The security guard shakes his head.

>"That's not gonna do. Two weird girls and another, almost random guy?"

[Orphea.Russ]

>You reach the security post, seeing a man walking about. Youmu is alert, looking about for anythig suspicious.

>Look for a way past him, if there is one.

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Look for a way past him, if there is one.

>You could climb over the fence. However, that would lead you to somewhere you can't really see from here. Also a few walls. Or, you could always crawl through the sewers. But that's disgusting. However, that provides the best cover...

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Aesera: "Thank you. Now, let me repeat the previous question: where would Maribel and Renko be doing their 'preparing'?"
>Kanako: Relay this location to the others and ask that whoever's closest get over there as fast as possible.

[Orphea.Russ]

>Decide that maybe it's best to just try and get inside normally. Try to come up with something if asked why we need in.

[Sonae]

Yays~ It was turned to ash~

[日巫子]

> "Their club room, which is...um..."
> Where's Mary's and Renko's clubroom located, specifically?

[Sonae]

((On the other side of the campus. Not inside the school building Whoops, that's not my jurisdication...))

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

> "Their club room, which is...um..."
> Where's Mary's and Renko's clubroom located, specifically?

>Their clubroom is located on the level above the hall, all the way to the right, next to the student's council meeting area. Hell, there's even a lift nearby their clubroom that takes you just in range of the canteen.

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Decide that maybe it's best to just try and get inside normally. Try to come up with something if asked why we need in.

>You walk in normally, before getting stopped by the guard. He explains that the side gate is only used by students exiting and staff from the school. You could either walk to the front or take another way in... Like one of those options given to you.

[日巫子]

> "...It's on level above the hall, near the student council meeting area all the way to the right.  If you take the lift near there it'll take you to the canteen."

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Ranna comes down the stairs slightly worn out from climbing so many damn flights of stairs.
>As she passes by she catches a glimpse strange shut door with a...lock?
>...What... She thinks to herself, wondering why such old fashioned locks would be used today.
>However she shrugs it off and continues to the main office.
>As she enters she gazes around.
>"...The hell? Did everyone leave for their lunchbreak?" She mutters, slightly bothered by this oddity.
>She glances up at the clock for the time.
>She's speechless, and disturbed by what she sees.
>The clock on the wall is digital, but that's not whats wrong.
>The numbers eerily flicker, two numbers appear seperately.
>The first number is 0:00. This appears to be the normal number.
>The second number appears when the clock flickers, like it was possessed or something.
>It says 6:66
>A really bad feeling sends a chill through Ranna's body. She quickly averts her eyes and tries not to think about it.
>Seeing that no one is in their office, she cautious heads down the hall.
>The first office she sees she heads into, closing the door carefully behind her. She turns her attention to the Computer.
>After shutting the door she takes a seat infront of it and begins searching.
>Search for names 'Maribel', 'Hirenko', and 'Renko' in the student registry.
>Is there anything strange on the desktop?
>Does anything pop up?
>Does the search say anything strange?
>Does the computer recieve an email during this time?

>The clock does not say 0:00 or 6:66. They say 12:48.

>You walk towards the hall. There are no offices near this area. The main office is near the entrance. You just left the Design and Technology staff office.

I'm warning you to not give random crap like those clocks showing numbers to accelerate the plot or make me have to put random events in. You do not decide what happens. I do. This may be a dungeon-crawler style text adventure for you. But that does not mean you can change things randomly. I also never said before that there was an office outside the hall. I think I describes the hall clearly enough that there is only those art stuffs nearby.

Although I'm allowing greater control and higher standards for Act Two, this is Act One. I will not hesitate to have you killed off if you attempt to make things happen which are not happening or mini-mod. Like you've done before. You probably didn't know you were minimodding before, but I let that slide. No more of this, please.

> "...It's on level above the hall, near the student council meeting area all the way to the right.  If you take the lift near there it'll take you to the canteen."

>Awaiting Guyyoumetonline.

>Rumia is becoming visibly irritated. Most likely hungry. Make that very hungry, if the ammont of food she eats is the same as she once was. Heck, it could even have increased. Who knows?

[Sonae]

((Okay I give up, fuck this little piece of shit, I'll just wait for it to be over, Your text adventure bores me anyways.))
((Since you didn't give me anything to work with all you gave me was 'Glance at the clock' ...wtf am I supposed to do with that? OH DEAR GOD THE CLOCK HAS NO NUMBERS))
((Maybe if you actually talked with me about this shit we could work something out))
((Right now it's just boring. It's all one liners and shit, and it's just plain annoying. Hell even some others don't like it and say it's boring))

>Newan: Produce sword, try to ignore the fear.
>What is the geography of this room? Are we still in the stairwell, or are we on the basement floor now?
>Where do we think the sound is coming from? We includes Nazrin with her mouse ears.

[Orphea.Russ]

>Go and head around front with Youmu. Trying to get in here with the guard there is probably not such a good idea.

[Sonae]

>Ranna is informed by Mokou of the location of the club room.
>Head for it. If something gets in the way SHOVE IT OUT OF MY WAY go around in without causing incident.
>When Ranna arrives, knock on the door and wait for an answer.
>If there is no answer for over a minute, knock again louder.
>If there is still no answer, Open the door slowly and cautiously say "I'm coming in..."

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Newan: Produce sword, try to ignore the fear.
>What is the geography of this room? Are we still in the stairwell, or are we on the basement floor now?
>Where do we think the sound is coming from? We includes Nazrin with her mouse ears.

>You focus your will, drawing the energies within your very soul. The blue glove forms on your hand, along with the blade.

>It's a big, long hallway of sorts. You're on the basement floor.

>The sounds are coming from all around you. You think you see eyes in the distance. Nazrin is visibly, really scared now. She's tearing up too.

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Go and head around front with Youmu. Trying to get in here with the guard there is probably not such a good idea.

>You head to the front slowly, but as you're just about to reach the main gate, Youmu runs towards town, almost drawing out her blade. You run and run, not able to catch up with her. Suddenly, you begin to fall backwards. Your eyes slowly close. And darkness embraces you.

>You wake up next to Youmu, in a... Toliet. You walk out to see Youmu, along with many rooms. It's quite quiet. And there's air. conditioning.
