>I don't want to... die...

[Kasu]

> "You don't have to die!  Everything will be fine as long as you can fix this!  Hell, I'll even help!  It'll be a bit more bearable even with only two people right?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "You don't have to die!  Everything will be fine as long as you can fix this!  Hell, I'll even help!  It'll be a bit more bearable even with only two people right?"

[Kips McKipzerson]

>"We dont have to fix, at least try."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"We dont have to fix, at least try."

>"No point..."
>"Futile..."
>Any traces of emotion on Nitori's face are beginning to disappear again.

[Kasu]

> Get close to Nitori's face and stare into her eyes.
> "Nitori.  I need you to focus here and listen to me.  Don't you ever let anyone tell you that you should kill yourself or anything like that.  You. Are. Not. Worthless.  You might be the only one who can fix this mess and restore Gensokyo back to the way it was.  Sure, people are obviously going to hate you for your past deeds, but the main thing is that people know you're actually trying to fix things, and even then...
> Smile.
> "... there are people like me who know that and will support you from now on as you work to rectify this.  You don't have to do it alone."

>You bring yourself closer to Nitori and stare into her eyes. Nitori looks back with an empty expression.
>You can notice a few subtle changes in Nitori's eyes as you lecture her again, she appears to be phasing in and out of her empty state.
>"Alone... Not alone..."
>"Can't fix... Beyond fixing.... Fix... Fix... Fix..."
>Nitori appears to be fighting something internally, before she begins to shout.
>"Of course I'm going to fix everything! I can't rest until I do!"
>Nitori blinks a few times before she focuses on you.
>"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
>"How did you even get here, for that matter. And why are you holding me?"

>_

[Kasu]

> "Hatate Himekaidou.  Came with a satori and kasha looking for a hell raven.  Got in here through the entrance and I'm holding you 'cause I'm assuming the satori did something weird to you and you looked like you were gonna kill yourself."
> Yeah...  We've got a bit of explaining to do.

Holy crap I can't believe that worked.

* Kasu sighs in relief.

[Kips McKipzerson]

>"Because you went all depressed and shit on me. I'm here to help you in whatever you need. Seems like you were brainwashed or something, I dont know."
>"What was the last thing you remember doing?"

>"Hatate... Himekaido..."
>Nitori appears to concentrate for a few moments.
>"I made your camera a while back, didn't I?"
>Nitori narrows her eyes when you mention the hell raven.
>"What do you know?"
>"Why the hell would I kill myself?"
>"I don't recall seeing anyone but..."
>"Why don't you tell me what you know, first."

> Yeah...  We've got a bit of explaining to do.

>You sure do. Not to mention that it seems kind of awkward to be holding her this close.

>_

[Kasu]

> Good point.  Back off a bit.
> "I don't know the specifics, but I'm pretty sure Miss Third-Eye probably had something to do with it.  As for the hell raven?  Well... I kinda know that she SEEMS dead but she's locked in that thing right now.  I also know that she's been missing awhile too so yeah..."

>You let go of Nitori, and you both back away from each other at the same time.
>"That still doesn't explain how any of you got here."
>"So you've seen it..."
>"Well, what are you planning to do?"
>"Bring me to justice, right? Capture me? Torture me? Kill me? All of the above?"
>"I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to do any of those things, I have things I need to do."
>Nitori appears to be reaching for one of her pockets.
>You have two hours and fifty minutes remaining.

>"If I really wanted to harm you, I would'va when you were all blank like that. Hell, I kicked the ass of the one person who could give me something to help Aya just because I wondered 'What the hell is happening to that kappa?' So, What are these things you have to do?"

[Kasu]

> "I really do believe you're one of the only people who can fix this whole mess that Gensokyo is in.  The only thing I'm actually planning to do is come up with some money to pay the shrine maiden with since I've got less than three hours by now..."

>"I don't know what you're talking about when you keep saying that I was 'blank'."
>"Who else is in here?"
>"Fix everything."

> "I really do believe you're one of the only people who can fix this whole mess that Gensokyo is in.  The only thing I'm actually planning to do is come up with some money to pay the shrine maiden with since I've got less than three hours by now..."

>"Of course I can."
>"And why would you come here?"

>_

[Momijibot]

Hooray, we saved Nitori! :] Although this may mean Satori is awake...

>"I came here because I found information on the hell Raven and some people were going to pay me good money in order to locate and retrieve the Hell Raven. Speaking of which,reviving her is the first thing on your 'fix everything' list, bonus prize if you can do it in the next two hours."
>"Before I appeared, what's the last thing you remember?"

To check with the group:

• Should we explain her 'blank state' further, or leave it for now?
• Should we try and recruit Nitori?

>"Before I appeared, what's the last thing you remember?"

>"That doesn't tell me who else is here."
>"Well it's obvious you can't take her, so you should just go and let me work in peace."
>"Pushy, aren't you?"
>"Two hours? I know you tengu like speed, but that's ridiculous."
>"I was thinking."

>_

[Kips McKipzerson]

>"Fine, let me rephrase that: What time was it when you started thinking, and do you have ANY GAPS in your memory? This is kinda important you know."

We must go deeper Momiji. We must RP... within an rp.

[Rikter]

>Ask about those heartless things that Satori mentioned before they might end up being problematic in the near future.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Fine, let me rephrase that: What time was it when you started thinking, and do you have ANY GAPS in your memory? This is kinda important you know."

>"Well, I'm still wondering when and how you got in here. And why you were holding me."

>"Heartless? What are you talking about?"

[Thaws]

Is there any reason why we're talking in circles and not straight out tell her about who else came with us? o_o

Because I can't read :V
Anyways:

>Didn't we let go of Nitori a while back?
>Wait... this isn't the same Nitori we were speaking to before, is it?
>Cautiously explain "The Hell's raven two friends, Rin and Satori, are here.  You should probably explain to them how you plan on reviving and saving the Hell Raven. Because if you don't, they'll kill you. And then, you won't be able to fix anything."
>Curiously ask "On the subject of fixing everything, how do you plan to start?"

[Kasu]

> "As for how we got in here, I already told you.  We walked through the entrance and some of your panel things weren't working right so we pushed them out of the way to gain further access.  As for when?  I'd say less than an hour ago at least."

>Curiously ask "On the subject of fixing everything, how do you plan to start?"

>You did.
>Probably not, considering how she seems to have no recollection of what you told her before.
>"I assume that those two are the ones paying you?"
>"And those two are the only other people here? Where are they? And what are they doing right now?"
>"Why do you want to know?"

> "As for how we got in here, I already told you.  We walked through the entrance and some of your panel things weren't working right so we pushed them out of the way to gain further access.  As for when?  I'd say less than an hour ago at least."

>"But you shouldn't have been able to get in in the first place."
>"Strange..."

>_

[Kasu]

> "Well if it helps, your two assistants seemed to be in quite the hurry on their way out."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "Well if it helps, your two assistants seemed to be in quite the hurry on their way out."

>Nitori eyes you with suspicion again.
>"If you've only been here for less than an hour, how is it possible for you to have seen them?"
>She appears to be trying get some more distance between you and herself, as she begins to slowly back away from you again.

>_

[Kasu]

> Might as well come clean.
> Flip open our phone and show Nitori the camera feeds.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> Might as well come clean.
> Flip open our phone and show Nitori the camera feeds.

>You decide there's no point in hiding where you got your information from.
>You take out your camera and show the pictures with the two kappa to Nitori.
>"So you've been watching me, huh?"
>"You're still not telling me if the two you mentioned are the only ones here, nor where they are, nor what they're doing right now."
>"If you have that, and if you've seen the raven, then you have your information, so why are you still here?"

>_

[Kasu]

> "I've been talking to you.  And either way, it's not like I can do a whole lot with the info anyway..."
> "Also the other two are in the room with the hell raven...  Though it's not like they can really do much."
