[Thaws]

>This place is really eerie...

>Won't get anywhere if we just stand here! Check what's behind the door nearest to us.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>This place is really eerie...

>Won't get anywhere if we just stand here! Check what's behind the door nearest to us.

>Really, really eerie...
>You open the closest door to reveal a rather large room.
>The room has a bed placed in the corner, the sheets are frilly.
>There are several bookshelves lined up against the wall, most of the books are rather nondescript. Though the books in one bookshelf are rather colorful.
>There is a wardrobe and a cupboard sitting against the wall opposite the bookshelves.

>Try to find the red-trail again.

>You decide to look for the trail you saw earlier.
>You use your internal map of the second floor to search for the camera that had the trail within its vision.
>It doesn't take you too long to find it, and you begin to walk down the corridor that it observes.
>Just as you saw in the camera feed, the trail appears to have disappeared.
>The satori notes "I think I can hear someone."
>You have three hours and fifteen minutes remaining.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Turn to Satori.

>"Really? Can you tell where it's coming from? Can you hear anything they're saying?"

[Kips McKipzerson]

>"Try to read their hearts or, ah, whatever it is that you do..."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Turn to Satori.

>"Really? Can you tell where it's coming from? Can you hear anything they're saying?"

>"Try to read their hearts or, ah, whatever it is that you do..."

>"I think it's coming from below us."
>"Can you hear Okuu? Is she okay? What's she thinking about?" The kasha seems excited.
>"I need to get closer if I want to hear anything clearly."

[Kips McKipzerson]

>Try to look for a way down, a staircase an off panel anything!

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Try to look for a way down, a staircase an off panel anything!

>You recall seeing a stairway leading down in one of the feeds.
>That particular camera may have been broken, but you doubt that the same has happened to the stairway.
>You begin to make your to the stairway, and as you go, you notice a small white object slowly moving across the floor.
>It appears to be following a red trail. As it progresses, more of the trail disappears.
>You have three hours and fourteen minutes remaining.

>_

[Kasu]

> Get ahead of the object and follow the trail.  This is what we've been waiting for!

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> Get ahead of the object and follow the trail.  This is what we've been waiting for!

>You pick up your pace and get ahead of the strange object.
>Is that trail made out of... blood?
>You follow the trail, and find that it leads to the stairway you were heading towards.
>There appears to be a doorway at the bottom of the stairs, but no door. The floor around the doorway looks metallic.
>The trail goes down the stairs and through the doorway.

>_

[Kips McKipzerson]

>Follow the trail!

>Is that trail made out of... blood?

did she seriously not notice this i mean what else would the red trail be red tape or something

[Momijibot]

>Check: How old is the trail?
>Follow it.
>"Satori, can you get a read on their hearts from here?"

Also, THAT AVATAR
Edit: The QB Ran, not cirnoxDaiyousei. Although that pairing is kinda cool too I guess

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Follow the trail!

>Check: How old is the trail?
>Follow it.
>"Satori, can you get a read on their hearts from here?"

>You'd guess that the trail has been around for two hours, at most.
>You head down the stairs and through the doorway, following the trail into a small corridor.
>The satori does not respond.
>The satori is still standing at the top of the stairs, with a terrified expression on her face.
>"What's wrong? Has something happened to Okuu?!"

>_

Also, THAT AVATAR

Sign this contract, and I can fix Gensokyo make everyone happy.
What's that? The contract is blank?
Never mind that and just sign it, I'll write up the details later.

>The satori does not respond.
>The satori is still standing at the top of the stairs, with a terrified expression on her face.
>"What's wrong? Has something happened to Okuu?!"

Oh dear. I can only guess Satori read Okuu's heart...
>"Satori? Answer me, What do you hear?!"
>Maybe someone hurt Utusho or something?

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Satori! What is it? What's wrong?"

>"The voice. Where is it? What's going on?"

>Be prepared to run if Satori does or points to wherever it is; this could be VERY urgent!

[Momijibot]

>"What's wrong? Has something happened to Okuu?!"

Death flag and Insanity flags raised  :ohdear:

>Senses check: What can we smell or hear which is out of the ordinary, besides the blood?

>"Satori! What is it? What's wrong?"

>"The voice. Where is it? What's going on?"

>Be prepared to run if Satori does or points to wherever it is; this could be VERY urgent!

After this, if Okuu is still alive, while running:
>"We need to move-this may be out last chance. Steel your heart, cover your back, shield your mind. Because right now, we're the only ones who can."

[Rikter]

>Taste red trail when you get the chance.

[Kasu]

>Taste red trail when you get the chance.

> Probably safer to smell it.  Don't want to contract something from nuclear hell raven blood.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Taste red trail when you get the chance.

> Probably safer to smell it.  Don't want to contract something from nuclear hell raven blood.

>You aren't quite sure if this is the time, nor the place to develop an appreciation for blood. Do you wish to follow through on this?

>Senses check: What can we smell or hear which is out of the ordinary, besides the blood?

>There is a strange smell coming from within the corridor. You aren't quite sure what would cause such a smell.

>"Satori? Answer me, What do you hear?!"

>"Satori! What is it? What's wrong?"

>"The voice. Where is it? What's going on?"

>The satori takes a quick moment to compose herself.
>"I hear the thoughts of a kappa that is about to be sent to the hell that she belongs in."
>"Make no mistake about it, I will make her pay for what she did to Utsuho."
>The satori begins to slowly walk down the stairs, you can see her trembling with fury.
>"What happened to Okuu?! Okuu!"
>The kasha runs off into the corridor screaming "Okuu!"

>Maybe someone hurt Utusho or something?

>Be prepared to run if Satori does or points to wherever it is; this could be VERY urgent!

>It seems like something happened to the hell raven.
>You prepare yourself to go at your top speed.

>_

[Kasu]

> Bloody hell!  No time for smelling or tasting the damn trail. Follow the trail to the end, preferably at top speed!

[Momijibot]

>forget about the blood.
>SHIT! pursue at maximum speed!

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> Bloody hell!  No time for smelling or tasting the damn trail. Follow the trail to the end, preferably at top speed!

>forget about the blood.
>SHIT! pursue at maximum speed!

>You have far more pressing matters to attend to right now!
>You fly down the corridor as fast as you can. It isn't very long, but several sharp turns slow you down somewhat.
>You speed past the kappa to find yourself in a large room with many doors on every wall.
>There are several monitors and displays in this room, however what grabs your attention is the large display in the center.
>The trail leads up to this display, inside you can see the hell raven suspended in a clear liquid.
>You can hear the kasha's cries of "Okuu!" getting closer.
>You have three hours and thirteen minutes remaining.

>_

[Kasu]

> Stomp back to the kappa.
> "I think it's about damn time you explained yourself."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> Stomp back to the kappa.
> "I think it's about damn time you explained yourself."

>Where do you want to search for the kappa?

>_

[Kasu]

> We passed her right?  I think we did at least...  If we did, go back to where we passed her in the corridor.
> If we didn't: "NITORI!  Get the hell out here!"

[Momijibot]

>Where do you want to search for the kappa?

>_

>Kappa later.
>How many wires are in Utsuho and where are they all connected to?
>Is she still breathing, or having her breathing assisted?
>Does it look safe to remove her from the liquid?
>"Satori, Jam the door open. Make sure nothing can stop us getting out once we're done here."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> We passed her right?  I think we did at least...  If we did, go back to where we passed her in the corridor.

>"Satori, Jam the door open. Make sure nothing can stop us getting out once we're done here."

>You have not seen Nitori.
>You consider calling for the kappa, but decide against it for the moment.
>There are several wires connected to where various vital organs are located.
>The hell raven does not appear to be moving at all.
>You aren't sure if it would be safe.
>The satori has not reached this room yet.
>The kasha bursts into the room, and you see her eyes widen as she catches sight of the hell raven.
>"Okuu!"
>The kasha runs up to the display and begins hammering on it.
>"Okuu, wake up! Okuu, we're getting out of here! Okuu, you can hear me, right?! Okuu! Open your eyes! Okuu!"

>_

[Kasu]

> "As hard as it is to say this...  I think it's for the best we don't act hastily."
> Point out the wires to Orin.
> "It'd probably be bad if we disconnected those right now."

[Momijibot]

> "As hard as it is to say this...  I think it's for the best we don't act hastily."
> Point out the wires to Orin.
> "It'd probably be bad if we disconnected those right now."

To expand on this,
>"Satori. I need to know if you read Nitori on our way down here and, if so, exactly where she was and what she was thinking. In either case, stay here with Utsuho-I'm going to find answers."

EDIT: It's getting late here, so I'll have to retire. Kasu, if you don't like my current plan, feel free to post negating the idea. I won't be able to see this to the end, but godspeed.

No need as your expansion is perfect.  We need to get to Nitori soon due to our time restraints.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "As hard as it is to say this...  I think it's for the best we don't act hastily."
> Point out the wires to Orin.
> "It'd probably be bad if we disconnected those right now."

>"But Okuu! Okuu is right here! She's right in front of me!"
>"Okuu! We're finally together again, so why won't you look at me!"
>You point out the hell raven's current state to the kasha.
>"Okuu..."
>The kasha falls to her knees and breaks down into a crying mess on the floor.

>"Satori. I need to know if you read Nitori on our way down here and, if so, exactly where she was and what she was thinking. In either case, stay here with Utsuho-I'm going to find answers."

>You feel helpless as you watch the kasha cry, and soon the satori enters the room.
>The satori ignores the kasha's crying and heads towards one of the doors near the corner of the room.
>The satori pauses briefly when you begin talking to her.
>"I have heard the kappa's thoughts, and I know where she is."
>"Don't worry, I will deal with the kappa myself."
>The satori begins to walk again.
