Chen's Day Out! >:3

[Hello Purvis]

>Head for the guest room. Have a look around it.

[Chaore]

>Head for the guest room. Have a look around it.

You head into the guest room. As to be expected, it was pretty empty... or at least is now. The futon is still there, though probably not for lack of scavenger's attempts. Two pretty heavy beams are pinning it down.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Wow. "
>Ponder if there's anything under it.
>Decide that's not the kind of looting we're here for.
>Look around for ways to move further on.

[Chaore]

>"Wow. "
>Ponder if there's anything under it.
>Decide that's not the kind of looting we're here for.
>Look around for ways to move further on.

You briefly ponder if there is anything under there you'd want. You decide that in all likely hood, Murasa didn't keep a telescope under the guest bed.

You can leave to the inner-temple through the guest room door.

[Hello Purvis]

>Head toward the inner temple.
>Slowly, with trepidation. It's getting just a little too close for comfort...

[OkashiiKisei]

> Be prepared to backflip to the outer temple in case an attacker might appear.

[Hello Purvis]

> Be prepared to backflip to the outer temple in case an attacker might appear.

>Or rather, back into the guest room.

[Chaore]

>Head toward the inner temple.
>Slowly, with trepidation. It's getting just a little too close for comfort...

You head in.

The startling unchanged nature of the temple rears it's head again. You...think you smell blood.

> Be prepared to backflip to the outer temple in case an attacker might appear.

>Or rather, back into the guest room.

You wouldn't exactly say you wouldn't be caught off guard there. You pull yourself together so you're ready should someone actually attack.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Um, hello?"
>Don't go crazy, don't go crazy, don't go crazy...

[OkashiiKisei]

> Examine surroundings. Mentally prepare yourself for what you may see.

[Chaore]

>"Um, hello?"
>Don't go crazy, don't go crazy, don't go crazy...

You receive no response. You guess it was kind of foolish, this place doesn't smell like anyone has dared to touch it in ages.

You're not sure if it is a bit too late or not...

> Examine surroundings. Mentally prepare yourself for what you may see.

You look around. It's...a hallway. You don't see any blood, but you can smell it. The terrible smell...

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Whistle a tune

[Kasu]

> Wonder if our mind is playing tricks on us.
> Press on.

[Hello Purvis]

>Look both ways down the hall, assuming we're not at the end of said hallway; go the direction that seems more likely to have rooms.

[Chaore]

> Whistle a tune

You try and whistle a bit to keep your spirits up.

> Wonder if our mind is playing tricks on us.
> Press on.

It could be possible. Something is amiss, at the very least.

>Look both ways down the hall, assuming we're not at the end of said hallway; go the direction that seems more likely to have rooms.

You look straight down the hall. You're at the back of the temple, so it makes some sense you'd be at the end of a hall. Doors are on both sides of the hallway.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Open the nearest door and check the room within, do not enter the room until seeing whats within.

[Chaore]

> Open the nearest door and check the room within, do not enter the room until seeing whats within.

You open the nearest door.

It appears to be the storage closet for cleaning supplies. You don't think a telescope is here.

[Hello Purvis]

>Close door, note its location should cleaning supplies be needed.
>Check next nearest door. Keep doing so until Murasa's room is found, the doors run out, a disaster happens, or something else of note catches our attention, such as odd sounds.

Unfortunately, the first result is what you believe to be footsteps ahead!

You were hoping you'd find murasa's room first, too. Shame.

[Hello Purvis]

>Look toward the footsteps!
>"Who's there!?"
>Be ready to call on Mackette the Knife, just in case.

[Chaore]

>Look toward the footsteps!
>"Who's there!?"
>Be ready to call on Mackette the Knife, just in case.

You look towards the footsteps. To your partial surprise, you see SHOU THE TIGER. Given how many people've survived, you shouldn't be surprised shes still around.

You relax a bit and instinctively move towards her to greet her, at the same time, you notice the gaping hole in her neck, abdomen, her partially detached left arm, bent spine and backwards leg, and the fact her head is turned completely 180.

You're a bit taken back, understandably.

[Spidere]

> "Erm...Hello Shou..."

[Chaore]

> "Erm...Hello Shou..."

You attempt to greet the former tiger youkai meekly, and get no response as the corpse limbers towards you.

You've a bad feeling about this.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Shou, um, you got about thirty seconds to say something before I have to do things neither of us want me to do, so if this is a bad joke now's the time to cut it out."
>Be ready with Mackette the Knife so much...

[Chaore]

>"Shou, um, you got about thirty seconds to say something before I have to do things neither of us want me to do, so if this is a bad joke now's the time to cut it out."
>Be ready with Mackette the Knife so much...

You don't even get a gurgling noise as the corpse shifts closer towards you, less then a few feet away.

You get Mackette summoned and in the floor already, this is beyond your creepiness factor.

[Hello Purvis]

>Back away!
>"Hey, if you can take her down without ripping her up, Mackette, that'd be super nice!"

[Chaore]

>Back away!
>"Hey, if you can take her down without ripping her up, Mackette, that'd be super nice!"

You back the hell away and ask Mackette to do her thing. She leaps out and lands a direct hit, passing straight through Shou.

She reports a miss, and that she can't find the enemy anywhere. In fact, you're not quite sure what you were backing away from either.

You're in the hallway and alone at the Myouren Temple, and it suspiciously smells like fresh blood.

You could really use a hug.

[Hello Purvis]

>"What..."
>Try not to shudder too hard. Pick up some debris, and toss it at Shou.

[Serela]

>"What..."
>Try not to shudder too hard. Pick up some debris, and toss it at Shou.

>I think he means the Shou apparition is no longer there.
>If I'm correct, try to locate the smell of fresh blood.

[Hello Purvis]

>I think he means the Shou apparition is no longer there.

>Ah. Just get a bit of throwable debris, then.
