>You shake her a bit more and shout. Sadly, you don't seem to have any success in lecturing her out of unconsciousness.

[Suwako Moriya]

> Patchy suggested ripping the book out. Let's find out from her how feasible that really is.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Patchouli! Any other ideas how to deal with this thing?!"

>You call out to Patchouli.
>"Not immediately!" she cries, and she darts away from its fist.

> Patchy suggested ripping the book out. Let's find out from her how feasible that really is.

>You feel she is a bit busy.

> Get in the fray is Renko and Meiling.
> Start shooting the Construct as much as we can. 3-on-1 wrecks most things, this guy is no different on Normal
> "Thanks for getting it off of me guys, let's finish it off quick."
> Watch what it does, but don't let up our assault.

>You leave Meiling behind and join the fray!
>You open fire upon the Construct! It seems to be chasing after Renko and Patchouli, striking at whichever one is closer. You find your shots don't seem to be doing much to it's metallic form. Only Patchouli's shots, small beams akin to what she used during the invasion, seem to be doing anything to it.
>"I'd love to!" says Renko.

> Open ourself to the Braclet, we and the braclet are one, it is an extension of us and we are an extension of it. "Come on... come on... I'm right here... Skeith!"
> Try forming a Laser and use that on the Construct.

>You try to open yourself to the bracelet, and don't feel much of anything. Perhaps there is something you were missing?

It seems to be chasing after Renko and Maribel,

>Question the temporary shift to third person. Or calling Patchouli "Maribel." Whichever one applies.
>If you can't form the laser, shoot some regular old danmaku.

>I will turn this thread around...
>You got back to your regular shots. They don't seem to do much.

> "Patchy! How do I open myself to a magical artifact? I'm trying but I'm missing something! Marisa made a magic bracelet for me!"

>"What!" Patchouli shouts, as she backs away from the Construct. "You have to give it something of yourself!"

>Wait a moment
>"Hatate! That goes for you, too! This thing is genuinely dangerous!"

>"Patchouli, if Alice's spell is what's keeping that physically together, is there any way to cancel it?"

>"Hatate! That goes for you, too! This thing is genuinely dangerous!"
>"Patchouli, if Alice's spell is what's keeping that physically together, is there any way to cancel it?"

>You yell for Koishi. You get no answer, at least, not until you're about to yell for Hatate, upon which you hear a voice close to your era, with a kind of airy quality. "It has no subconscious, I don't understand its mind at all. I can't help you..."
>You cry out for Hatate. "Don't worry, I'm getting everything!" she says.
>"That depends," Patchouli, "Did she use the book as a focus, or herself?"

[MysTeariousYukari]

> "She said she used the book to power it, as the original power source was lost. If not for the light on it's chest, you would be able to she a corner of the book."

[DracoOmega]

>To Hatate: "I didn't mean document it! I meant shoot it!"
>To Patchouli: "When she cast it, the book hovered out over the pile of metal parts, and gathered them onto itself. And appeared to be doing so quite independently of Alice while we tried to carry the book away and shoot her. I don't know whether the means the book was the focus or not."

>"I vowed to stay uninvolved, remember!" Hatate cries back. You think it's coming from the direction of the fountain, to the west.
>"Then dispelling it will be no easy task," Patchouli says, "And certainly not something I could do on short notice! I did see the book, I've been trying to damage its armor enough to get to it.
>The Construct, about three yards away, looks toward you, and charges!

[MysTeariousYukari]

> "You say that when people are in mortal danger, Hatate? Help us, and I might help advertise your newspaper. Nothing would help your sales like people knowing your a Hero!"
> Start running from the Construct, heading in the general direction of where we heard Hatate

[DracoOmega]

>How far away is Marisa's place from here?
>"Why do you think this is still trying to crush us despite Alice being unconscious? It didn't seem to take any action until she connected her strings to it, originally."
>"How did Reisen stop this originally, anyway?"

>"You're doing fine, I'm sure!" says Hatate.
>You start running from the Construct and toward the fountain. It starts to follow, but seems to lose interest when Renko shoots it.

>How far away is Marisa's place from here?
>"Why do you think this is still trying to crush us despite Alice being unconscious? It didn't seem to take any action until she connected her strings to it, originally."
>"How did Reisen stop this originally, anyway?"

>It would take a few minutes to get there.
>"I suspect it's some echo of its old self," Patchouli cries.
>"She wrested away its original source of power, and did something to its mind!"

[Kilgamayan]

>"How do I give it something of myself!?"

> Change this to "How do I give the bracelet something of myself?" just to avoid confusion.

[DracoOmega]

>"Do you know what she did to its mind? Would that be at all replicable by anyone else?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"How do I give it something of myself!?"

> Change this to "How do I give the bracelet something of myself?" just to avoid confusion.

>"It's like an incantation, but in reverse!"

>"Do you know what she did to its mind? Would that be at all replicable by anyone else?"

>"They were both connected to the power source," says Patchouli, dropping to the ground to avoid a swing from the Construct, "So I rather doubt it!"
>"Its mind is stirring, I don't know what it means," says that airy voice in your ear again. "Be careful"

[MysTeariousYukari]

> "In reverse? You do know that makes no sense to me, right?"
> "Guys, somethings going on with it, be careful!"
> Start shooting at it to draw it's attention. Aggro-Calling FTW

[DracoOmega]

>To Koishi: "If you can feel its mind, can you do anything to it? Get it to calm down, or stop for a moment, or something?"

>To Koishi: "If you can feel its mind, can you do anything to it? Get it to calm down, or stop for a moment, or something?"

Oh yeah, Koi-chan, forgot about her.

> "Koishi, if your here, I would absolutly love a bit of help. Pretty Please!"

> Start shooting at it to draw it's attention. Aggro-Calling FTW

>"I don't see why not!" Patchouli shouts as she flies back from it.
>"Not seeing anything odd," Renko shouts from the opposite side of it. "What's up?"
>You start to fire on it, but it still seems more interested in Patchouli.

>To Koishi: "If you can feel its mind, can you do anything to it? Get it to calm down, or stop for a moment, or something?"

>"I don't think it'd be wise," says the voice, a little distant now, and oddly pleasant given the circumstances. "I don't know how it works at all..."

> "Koishi, if your here, I would absolutly love a bit of help. Pretty Please!"

>"Like what?"

[DracoOmega]

>To Renko: "Apparently its mind is stirring. I don't know what that means, but I'm sure it can't be good, given the circumstances."
>To Koishi: "If you can't touch its mind, do you think you could at least fire at it? There's a book in the middle of it that's powering it, and we need to get at it."

[communist unity (comm-unity)]

hey we wanted to find koishi and talk with her, right? Perfect.

> "Oh, by the way, I've kind of been looking to speak with you, Koishi. After this whole ordeal is over, could you spare some time to talk?"
