Daiyousei:
> "So cuuuute~"
Daiyousei:
> "Aww."
Daiyousei:
> "Huh?"
> Look around.
Daiyousei:
> "Nothing... Making sure Christine got to her clothes, I guess."
Daiyousei:
> "She learns good things though..."
Daiyousei:
>Look to see who's still in.
Daiyousei:
> Examine her as well.
Daiyousei:
> "Still don't like that?"
Daiyousei:
> "Well... Are you going to go out and get dressed?"
Nijisa:
>Is there a couch or something?
>>Flop on it if so.
Nijisa:
>"Now what?"
Nijisa:
>How much of the mushroom is left?
Nijisa:
>"Who'd you get this from, anyway?"
Nijisa:
>Look over.
Nijisa:
>"Would they be the type to prank you like this?"
Daiko:
> Vision her.
Daiyousei:
> Anyone else still here?
> What do we want to do now?
Nijisa:
>"Yeah."
V!Daiko:
> "A strange room? What was it like?"
Daiyousei:
>"Will you go get dressed too Kokoro?"
V!Daiko:
>"Alright. I'm coming."
Daiko:
>Hope that using the vision helps us improve it...
>Head for Mystia.
Daiyousei:
> "You should get dressed first. Then do what you have to."
Nijisa:
>"Hmm?"
Daiko:
>"Hm..."
>Open.
Daiyousei:
> Make sure all is as it was before we came and head out as well.
> Head to Christine.
Daiko:
> "I wonder if it's frozen..."
> Try harder.
Daiyousei:
> Fix such.
Daiko:
> Start taking in the cold feeling to our horn...
Daiyousei:
>"Cute."
Daiko:
>"It's worrying, definitely... Might be best not to open this yet..."
V!Festival-Daiko:
>"Sakura. There's... a triangle door here..."
Daiyousei:
> "Nothing~"
V!Festival-Daiko:
> "It feels cold... What is it?"
Daiyousei:
>Wave a bit.
V!F-Daiko:
>"That was a reaction..."
Daiyousei:
> "I guess..."
> Nod.
V!Daiko:
>"What?"
Daiyousei:
>Call for Kokoro.
V!Daiko:
>Look upset.
>"I might break through and find out... It seems like a danger..."
Daiyousei:
> Christine then?
Nijisa:
>"So what are you gonna do?"
Nijisa:
>Nod.
Daiyousei:
> "Huh?"
Daiko:
> "Then what?"
Daiyousei:
> "Kokoro said she should do something, or other... I guess I'll see what Daiko's doing. We're still going to teach Christine danmaku and stuff."
V!Daiko:
> "Another secret..."
Nijisa:
>"Yeah!"
Daiyousei:
> "Oh right. You were just here because of that person outside of his house, right? Then to do stuff at the Sauna..."
V!Daiko:
> Sigh.
Daiko:
> "It's nothing we can pay attention to right now..."
> Make sure we still have the book.
> "Should we do something else instead then?"
Daiko:
> Nod.
> "Let's go back to the living room then? I still don't know when they'll be done with the Sauna..."
Daiyousei:
> With Christine in our care, start through the house...
Daiko:
> Start.
Daiyousei:
> "None of you are gonna say bye to Daiko? If you just disappear, he'll be worried, right?"
Daiyousei:
> Look to Nue.
Daiyousei:
> "She was quick..."
Daiyousei:
> "Yes?"
Daiyousei:
> "See more what?"
Daiyousei:
> "Ooh. Of course. Let's start... all looking for Daiko, then?"
> "Do you know about seasons and weather, Christine?"
Daiko:
> Are we there yet?
Daiyousei:
> Start to educate her on the world in general. How there are Seasons, and how weather is. Temperatures...
Other character's statuses?
Daiko:
>"Ah... So you're finished, finally?"
Daiyousei:
>Nod.
Kiku, Tsuru:
> Follow as well.
Niji:
> ...should she be...
Niji Blue:
> "Um..."
Daiko:
> "Hmph... Are you all... leaving?"
Kiku:
> "Huh?"
Niji:
>"H-Hey!"
Niji Blue:
> Follow, but don't head in...
Daiko:
> "Take care then, Kokoro."
> "Spending time with?"
Tsuru:
>"U-Unnamed!? Seriously!? It's Tsuru! Tsuru Shinju."
Daiko:
> "I mean, what did you do?"
> Frown a bit.
> "Nothing with the stuff at the house, did you? If Sakura says there's something missing..."
Tsuru:
> "S-Shinjuku!? It's Shinju! TSU-RU. SHIN-JU. That's not even hard!"
Daiko:
> "Then what did you do?"
Tsuru:
> "Say it riiiight..."
Daiko:
> Shake head.
> "No. I trust you two. "
Tsuru:
> "Tsuru what? Remember the other part too please."
Daiko:
>"Stay safe Kokoro."
Tsuru:
>"S-Shinju..."
>Look down.
>"Y-You can just go..."
>Sniffle.
Kiku:
>Follow.
Kiku:
> "Is it uh, the problem we mentioned?"
Kiku:
>Continue following.
Daiko:
>What were we going to do?
Kiku:
> Wait patiently like her too.
Daiyousei, Daiko:
> "Oh."
Kiku:
> Nod.
> "I'm starting to think it could be an incident..."
Daiyousei:
> "I still want to teach Christine things. Like, Daiko, can we show danmaku?"
Daiko:
> "Danmaku... Is that what you want to learn first, Christine?"
Kiku:
>"Yes mistress! And that they're still not caught or seen. But, what if it was something different? Like that they only could make them vanish from a distance. Surely someone would have caught them if they were going after you, right?"
Daiko:
>"See Mysti?"
Kiku:
>"I-I mean caught before they could reach you. Sakuya, did you notice anyone around the mistress with such capabilities?"
Daiko:
> "Of course. Just give me a second."
> Head to our room and store the book somewhere we'll remember, and also somewhere not easily findable...
Daiyousei:
> Start to explain the basics of danmaku to Christine.
Daiko:
>We're smart, we should...
>Actually, try to absorb it into ourself. If this works, we could have an amazing way to store things...
Daiko:
>Try to fill the book with cold energy...
Daiko:
> Take some of that energy out. Just make it colder, to the point WE can take it. Don't freeze it either.
Daiko:
>Check horn in mirror. Feel it too.
Daiko:
>Take out the book and check.
Daiko:
> Take it back in.
> Try to... store it in our body...
Daiko:
> That should work.
> Head downstairs.
Daiyousei:
> Did we teach about spellcards?
Daiyousei:
> "I... should probably make my own spellcards soon..."
Daiyousei:
>"I should."
Daiyousei:
> "Yea."
Daiko:
> "Alright. We can go start outside now."
Daiko:
>Look to Rachael and Kogasa.
>"Will you two be fine?"
Daiko:
> "You think?"
Daiko:
> "Hopefully not..."
Daiko:
> "Now you're really not sure?"
Daiko:
> "Okay..."
> Head out with the group.
Niji:
>"You can't just take her for tests!"
Daiko:
> "Might be tough to try with so many people around..."
Daiko:
>Nod.
Daiyousei:
>"Christine? Oh right, these are all... well I think they all might be humans..."
Daiko:
>"Almost everybody is unique. But there's also family. Family usually looks like each other. Like, if you saw my grandmother, you'd see she and I both have this horn."
Daiko:
>Point.
Daiko:
>"It came from me. It's not sharp at both point. But I think it'd hurt if it bumped into something or someone..."
Daiko:
> "Yea?"
Daiko:
> "We don't know what it is... And I thought you were just going to do your stand thing?"
Daiko:
>"Well, we'd prepare for it when it's announced then..."
Daiko:
>"Later today. And don't worry about it yet Christine."
Daiyousei:
>"Oh, we should tell all the different species too. If you're excited about just humans looking different..."
Daiyousei:
> Start explaining the species' we know and what's special about them.
Daiko:
> Nod and lead the group there.
Daiko:
>Ah, the perfect person to teach us about speed. Wave her over.
Daiko:
> How far off is she from where we are? Are we heading in her direction or something else?
Daiko:
>Continue then wave when we're closer.
Other statuses?
Daiko:
> "Aya, do you think you could help me with... getting faster?"
Tsuru:
>"Do what?"
Daiko:
> Nod.
Tsuru:
> "U... Uh huh..."
Daiko:
> "Of course. If I'm gonna learn, it should be from the best, no?"
Tsuru:
>"Huh?"
Daiko:> Wonder if it'd be trouble trying to get along more with Aya, given we're part Oni...
> "She is the best. She has reason to. I could be boasting about my vision abilities and being stronger though..."
Tsuru:
> "Of course I don't! I want to find out who's been doing it too."
Nijisa:
>Is she carrying anything or the like?
Nijisa:
>Assist.
>"Jeez, why do you have this stuff?"
Daiko:
> Shrug.
Tsuru:
>Nod.
Daiko:
> "I'm not sure..."
Tsuru:
> "I don't think we'll find out that way..."
Daiko:
> "H-Hang on a minute there!"
Tsuru:
> "Nn..."
Daiko:
> Run after them!
Tsuru:
> "Because I somehow stole my own underwear and hid it while asleep. And Kiku's and other people's during that time too... Come on Sakura. Next you'll say it's yourself without any evidence."
Daiko:
>Mm...
>Vision Aya.
V!Daiko:
>"What's up?"
Tsuru:
> "Really..."
Daiko:
> "Kosuzu?"
Tsuru:
> "We won't get anywhere doing it like this though."
V!Daiko:
> "What's she asking you? What's happening?"
Tsuru:
> "Having evidence and help towards such... Who could get us in here, and anywhere else we lost our... panties. Who has such an ability that could do that sort of thing..."
V!Daiko:
>"What?"
Tsuru:
> "Yea... Well, it's impossible to ask all the fairies..."
V!Daiko:
>"...Come ooon... Ugh..."
Tsuru:
>"Uh..."
V!Daiko:
>"Like what?"
Tsuru:
> "I think you'd destroy the mansion just by doing that alone..."
V!Daiko:
> "Oh. Is that what it's about? Why Kosuzu then? Was she a judge?"
Tsuru:
> "Madness!"
V!Daiko:
> "Do what?"
Tsuru:
> "Let's... not accuse Yuuka... What about your tiles Elly? Do they have... such tendencies like looking up skirts or anything? Though it would be hard for them to steal... But they can float too. Maybe they're telepathic."
V!Daiko:
> "...Well I'd help with that normally, not just for information... How do I help with such though? Also, tell Kosuzu that I needed to speak with you for training and she's really butting in..."
Tsuru:
> "One at a time."
V!Daiko:
> "Of course! Why would I want to keep you having bad rep to your name? You're a great person. Kind, cute fast, skille-... er, anyway, I'm of course I'd help."
Tsuru:
> "ONE AT A TIME!"
V!Daiko:
> "Unless it's really important, making sure your name's cleared should be a bigger priority..."
Tsuru:
> "Could you put stickers on them? Like a sticker with the number five?"
V!Daiko:
>Shrug.
Tsuru:
>"Or color them... Like at least color a number on them..."
V!Daiko:
> "Alright. How should I start?"
Tsuru:
>"ONE AT A TIME!"
Nijisa:
>"Ah! Are you alright?"
>Lift!
V!Daiko:
> "...Not really... I know Keine a bit..."
Tsuru:
> "Can you try to magically keep them a bit quieter?"
V!Daiko:
> "I'll ask if she can help me clear your name."
Tsuru:
>Look to Elly in hope...
Daiko:
>Watch.
>Vision Keine.
V!Daiko:
>"Alright."
Tsuru:
> "That wasn't very magical..."
Nijisa:
>"Marisa...?"
>Poke.
V!Keine-Daiko:
> "I need you to help me clear Aya's bad reputation with the village..."
Tsuru:
> "I mean you magically doing it without having to physically tell them."
V!Keine-Daiko:
> "It's really a big issue, okay? Can you help?"
Tsuru:
> "They're yours though... Then just give them rules. And incentives to following the rules. Like praise or affection."
Daiko:
> Here's hoping Letty was right about Yuki-onna being likeable and whatnot naturally...
> "Hey hang on a minute."
> Look into the store.
> "What are you so upset at her for?"
V!Aya-Daiko:
>"I'll try to think of some other ways to help you alongside getting Keine's help. We're going to Mysti's stand right now.
Tsuru:
> "Um..."
Nijisa:
>Ok, ok, don't panic.
>Drag Marisa somewhere safe-ish.
Niji:
>We can see through Nijisa, right?
Daiko:
> "About what? And why'd you shout?"
Tsuru:
> "She's right on that..."
Nijisa:
>The couch should do, yes?
Niji:
>What's Alice and Patchouli doing?
>"Um, guys?"
Daiko:
> "Where's Christine?"
V!Aya-Daiko:
> "Hang on. I think she just wanted to talk to you about something. Come back Aya? And could you bring Christine if you see her too?"
Daiyousei:
>Look for her. Surely we didn't lose sight of her.
Tsuru:
> "Just... control yourselves?"
Nijisa:
>Go ahead and set her there then.
Niji:
>"Marisa just fell down some stairs. She's unconscious right now."
V!Aya-Daiko:
> "Jessica."
Daiko:
> "She's... sort of someone me and Daiyousei are helping understand more things. For one, she doesn't know about danmaku. Ah, books would be good for teaching too...
> Head in and look around for her.
Daiyousei:
> "The beauty of danmaku can't just be ignored."
Tsuru:
> "Never mind..."
Nijisa:
>Check for injuries.
Niji:
>"She's just knocked out right now."
V!Aya-Daiko:
> "Just come back please."
Daiko:
> "You know what books are, right?"
Tsuru:
> "...What if it's something weird? Like the mansion itself taking people's underwear? It'd explain why it's only happened now... And why no one notices it."
Daiko:
> "They're things full of words or pictures. It doesn't speak to you like I'm speaking to you now, but just shows you letters and words written out."
> Show her what's written on one of the books' spine.
> "You... know how to read, right?"
>Add Quest - A proper body: We haven't fully helped Rachael/Rafael with her wish. Although it's not the most important thing, she'd probably appreciate it a lot. That is, hoping that she doesn't pass on with no more regrets...
>Add Quest - Ayaya!: Aya, reveled to Daiko to be the announcer for the festival, needs help with clearing her bad reputation with the Human Village, by tomorrow! Not only is Aya willing to teach us about speed and also give us some other information, but she's also a great person. There's no way we can ignore this with few else willing to help her...
Tsuru:
> Your tiles are alive, so yea..."
Nijisa:
>Relax ever so slightly.
Niji:
>"I don't think so. She doesn't seem to have any visible injuries."
Daiko:
> "Oh dear. You don't really know much at all... That's not a bad thing though, Christine. Learning things is usually an amazing experience. The quickest and most efficient way might be..."
> Is Aya back?
V!Keine-Daiko:
>"Hey uh... Daiyousei and I met a fairy-like girl in the underground a while ago... She's nice, but she doesn't know much. Would it be alright to consider if she could attend school?"
Nijisa:
>Oh, yeah.
>Check everywhere else too.
Niji:
>If Nijisa doesn't see any other visible injury:
>>"Yeah, she seems to be fine."
>Else:
>>"Er, upon closer inspection it seems she's injured herself in " [place of injury] "."
Nijisa:
>Ok, now we can relax, right?
Niji:
>"I'm going to be waiting for Yuudachi."
Arisa:
>"I'll come."
//Well bruising isn't that good...
V!Keine-Daiko:
>"I'm not sure if I can attend with her... There's a lot of things I have to run around to do. Like helping Aya, and the festival, and the whole coldness incident..."
Daiko:
> "School should work then."
> Look over to Jessica and Aya.
Daiyousei:
> Do we attend school?
Daiyousei:
> "It's a place where good people teach you things. You can also play a bit sometimes there when they allow you to."
Daiko:
> "Jessica?"
Nijisa:
>Better than...uh...s-something worse...I guess.
>How many bruises are there?
>Where are they? like are they all over her back, or is it more localized?
Arisa:
>Follow.
Daiyousei:
> "I might be there too."
Daiko:
> "What?"
Nijisa:
>Do we know how to treat bruises?
Arisa:
>Hmm?
Daiyousei:
> Nod.
Daiko:
> "Well, I don't know any reporters better than her."
Daiyousei:
> Nod.
Daiko:
> "Hm..."
Daiko:
> "Ohh... A pupil~"
Daiko:
> Smile.
Daiyousei:
> "I'll try to always go with you."
> Hold her hand.
> "Daiko, could we... Could we try to go there now? We might learn Danmaku there too."
Daiko:
> "Is that what you want, Christine? Or danmaku first?"
Daiyousei:
> Look to Daiko
Daiko:
> "I... Might want to go to school for a bit with you too. If only for a bit... But I suppose you two should get to it sooner than later"
> Look back to Aya and Jessica.
> "Okay Aya... You'll be teaching me speed and agility, and teaching Jessica all about reporting... That's not hard to understand at least, is it?"
Daiyousei:
> "Alright. We'll go now. We'll see you another time Daiko. Maybe vision, maybe in reaility."
> Take Christine to the school!
Daiyousei:
> "Ah... There's... Cirno-chan."
> Look between the two. How similar are they?
Daiko:
>"Nothing too hard for you, is it?"
Daiko:
> Glance to the newcomer.
Daiyousei:
> "Um. Christine, this is Cirno. Cirno, this-"
> Where are we currently?
> Open the door...
>"Who?"
>What's our current appearance...
>Inventory.
> "Ahem. Who came to see me?"
> Remember Mera Arumi.
> Did we have any plans today?
>"Alright. I'll be there in a moment."
>Prepare the last we need to, then head for there.
> How does she look?
> "Loosen up a bit. You're doing a fine job. It's not like I'm gonna bite you."
>"Hmm?"
> "Scary?"
>Sigh.
>"Just get up and continue. It'll be better if you're more cheerful and patient than afraid of me..."
> Are we alone?
>Gently pick her up and hug her.
> Stand her up right.
> "Now did that hurt?"
> You wouldn't want another? Or you would?"
> "So it was bad then..."
> Hm... smile for her, so she doesn't think we're angry at her all the time.
> "Let's continue then?"
>Continue following.
> Sigh peacefully.
> "The bars so much more pleasant when it's like this."
> Pat gently.
> "Right?"
> Head to Arumi.
> "Arumi."
> "Be glad I didn't opt for a more physical notify."
>To the maid. "Thank you."
>What's the new maid's name? Do we know most of their names?
> Sit down next to her.
> "What indeed..."
>Sigh.
> Nod.
>"Me?"
>What was the assignment again?
> "So you want us to leave an impression on everyone before we leave huh... But I guess this is pretty early of an assignment... Planning on making friends then?"
> "Hmph. Alright... I'm assuming you want to see around my place too?"> "My Servant, of course."
> Is anyone else around the bar at the moment?
>"Just who the hell do you think I am!?"
> Is anyone else around the bar at the moment?
> "Who knows if you are?"
>Look around.
>Have we eaten yet?
> "Guess I'll wait for you to finish then go elsewhere. It's really only us two with this assignment anyways."
> Nod.
>"You've probably already seen this whole place, or what you can see of it... So I guess it's just to my room."
>Lead her.
>"Here's where I live. Especially when the rest of the place is going crazy..."
> "Hmph... Don't go snooping around everywhere."
> Sit down. How does our room even look?
>"What makes you think that?"
> "Very funny..."
> "That was terrible."
>"Nah, the corpse thing was alright. Just the study of funniesology? Yea..."
>Motion to the chair.
>"Already starting."
> "Yea..."
>Sigh.
> "What shall I start with then?"
>"What do you want to know about me..."
> Introduce ourself plainly then.
> What are our main things anyways? Hobbies, favorites, belongings, things like that.
>Are we?
>Answer such.
>"It's... fickle. Ask something else why don't you?"
> "I'm not entirely sure myself."
> Do we have a favorite color animal or stuff?
> Shrug.
> "I like music..."
> "Eurobeat. My favorite color, I'd say, is red..."
> "Thinking I'm less of a psycho now then?"
> "Good. ... Well, I like Miss Kazami. You know, Yuuka? She's a wonderful singer."
> "Yes. You didn't hear? We're the only two in here..."
> "Why? You don't like her I guess..."
> Frown a little.
> What was that again?
> Sigh
> "Screw that. She's still a great singer nonetheless. People might hear her voice a lot normally, yea, but she might have wanted her voice heard. You know?"
> Nod.
> What's our favorite?
> "Night of Fire of course."
> "Yup."
> There's no way we don't, right?
> "Course I do. That and more."
> Nod.
> "Not bad Arumi."
> "Well you're less horrible now. Good tastes."
> "Good."
> "Don't really know what else more to talk about."
> "I have hobbies. Just... I'll leave it at that."
> Do we have any other hobbies?
> Is that all of our hobbies?
> "I'm... A bit tech savvy, I suppose."
> "Yea."
> Are we generally tech savvy, or just in robotics?
> "Maybe..."
> "I've... practiced enough to know how to defend myself, at least..."
> "Hm?"
> Catch her leg.
> "Just gonna attack me out of nowhere? And you called me psycho..."> They are black.
> Can we see?
> "With violence. Right... Smart to lift your leg to my head rather than your arm too."
> Chuckle.
> "I didn't see a thing."
> "Not my fault that you did it in that way. You could've aimed anywhere else."
> "Truly a psycho..."
> What color did she have and what kind were they? Was it the kind of underwear we'd at least consider a psycho to have...
> "Is that enough about me?"
> Sigh.
> "I've told a lot. What more do you expect?"
> "I seriously don't know what else to tell."
> Our hair's Natural... right?
> "Duh."
> "Only Psychos..."
> "That's just what you think. Had enough to see and hear yet?"
> "Good."
> Sigh.
> Look questioning.
> "So?"
> "Hm... Well you have an alright taste in underwear. Not psychotic. And you've got great taste in music. Ah, or do you mean about myself?"
> "Ask of you? Well if you're going to start, then..."
> "Well then, what are your hobbies?"
> Shrug.
> "Listening to music."
> "I don't know. What am I supposed to guess you do?"
> "Well this is probably a start... Knowing you like music and Kazami does a lot..."
> Look over.
>Blink. What was her tone.
> Look over to Arumi
>"Mm...Don't snoop."
>Frown and follow...
>"We were in the middle of a project for school..."
> "Business problem? With the bar?"
> "Hm..."
>"Mm?"
>Realize.
>"God.. Don't tell me there's another mess..."
>"Dear..."
>"Hm?"
>Did we?
>"What do you mean?"
> "There's a project we'll need to do..."
> Did something significant happen?
> "And a new student... Surname Sumadera..."
> "Yea."
> "Mm... Always me... I hope this doesn't get worse..."
> "Maybe it'll just be something school related... I hope we're classmates first and... members of certain things second..."
> "Recently. Can't we hope things go well for once?"
> "Believe someone's innocent until proven guilty. But don't throw all caution away... Still, Akiko is my classmate first. I'll think of her as such. And if it's a situation where the context is actively Sumadera, not just a something like mentioning them, then I'll be more serious."
> Shrug.
> "Well it was only recently..."
> "Things don't always go perfect... Actually, I'm sure we'd all like if they went a bit well... They haven't at all recently, right?"
> "Mm... Us?"
> "Ah. I had hoped it'd only be a phone call when you said talk... Again, I was busy with the school project..."
> Sigh.
> "Alright... I'll get ready. I do have to tell Arumi that we'll need to continue another time though."
> Do we have Arumi's phone number? We did name a contact for her, right...
> "Manly? A-And charm!? Excuse me!?"
> "Nau-..."
> Take a breath.
> "You're not gonna get to me like that... We're partners for a school project."
> "Whatever... I'm going to go tell her and all."
> Feel relieved that she doesn't know the situations that have been happening. Having seen Arumia's underwear... Having similar tastes in music...
> Shiver a bit at what Arie would start doing if she knew...
> Sigh and head back to our room.
> Look around. Has anything been touched?
> Call her on our phone...
> Start there...
>... Open.
> TACKLE AND RESTAIN HER!
> "Didn't I say not to go snooping around!? One request! The most important! Was all I asked!"
> What do we think of Torii being seen and all?
> "...Not a single word about this. Don't even think about what you saw there, or that the room even exists. Forget it completely Arumi."
>"I-I mean it!"
> Sigh and close the (Laboratory) door.
> "What is it Torii?"
> Put our phone away if we haven't already.
> Nod anyways.
> "Thanks Torii. I'll get to it in a bit..."
> Look back to Arumi, then the door.
> "How did you open it..."
> Have we heard that term before? Do we even know what that is? Do we know we are such, if we are? We did note to ourself that we weren't human, but not exactly what we were.
> Do we know if we have ever heard of others?
> "...Give me a moment outside please, Torii."
>Are people born such, or they start to learn and be taught such? Like, would we consider Magus as a race/species...
> "...You're really making yourself different than normally at school Arumi..."
> What are we capable of?
> Close it.
> "Another thing in common then, huh..."
> Fold ours and watch her.
>Unfold our arms and sigh.
>"That room's a special room. Of course, it was meant to be a secret to everyone, and has been..."
>Look up and down Arumi.
>"Until now..."
> "Because you were willing to flaunt those in such a state. The door was still wide open. At least watch your back if you're gonna use them... I'm starting to think you enjoy exposing yourself..."
> "I didn't expect any others to try and get in... You say it like it's something you have too..."
> Sigh.
> Strengthen it. More defenses against such, but still try to keep it more hidden...
> Still, do it.
> "Well you obviously didn't listen about snooping last time..."
> "Please at least don't screw with anything..."
> "Seriously. Stop."
> Hurry and finish that...
> "I have things I'd like to preserve..."
> Have we finished?
> "I'm fixing that..."
> "I get it..."
> To sustain? Or just for now it took that much and we'll recover over time?
> "Right now though, we'll have to... meet up or something another time. Something else came up."
> "No. This is something else that... I suppose we'll just have to keep a secret between us from now on..."
> "Yes, they did change..."
>"...I like this you better than before, at least. And with the discovery too... It's not like you're fantastic now or anything. Just... alright to be around and chat with..."
> "Good tastes in things. I hardly knew you before anyways."
> "I hardly want to. No one to talk with, for one. And I don't get along too well with others."
> "Because I don't want to. Few really grab my interest..."
> Shrug.
> Is it?
> Explain... a bit of what else it is if there's more... Don't just throw our deeper thoughts out to her.
> "Yea. Pretty much..."
> "And you still think I'm a psycho... whatever, I've gotta get going. I'll call you later or something."
> Exit.
> "Your tone sounds much different than earlier. And sure shifts more than anything I've ever seen."
> "A bit sad..."
> "That just this is making you hate me. "
>"You're the annoying one in school. Mostly because you hate me and engrave such into the minds of everyone around. But I didn't know you much at all aside from that. I was just acting as I would with anyone else spouting that sort of stuff at me. In essence, I don't hate you. In fact, I might even like you from what I've learned today. But you still hate me, and that's all the difference."
> "No. Not really."
> "I'm too dull and boring for you to like then, huh."
> Do we see Torii around? Is he still out?
> "Well maybe you'll start thinking differently the more you see. Or not. Not like I'm just going to open up and chat more to everyone else at school."
> Shrug.
> If we're still in our room, open the door out of it then look to her.
> "I'd like if you didn't screw around in my room more... Especially when I have to get going."
> Leave our room as well, look around for Torii.
> "Alright Torii... I'll be meeting up with someone."
> "Well... What is it?"
>Check our phone...
> "A call..."
> "Right. I was just there. But thank you Torii."
> "It's alright. Just try better next time."
> Pat.
> "Don't overwork yourself."
> "Whichever you're most comfortable with Torii."
> "...Would you be comfortable with me thinking that you're overworking yourself?"
> "You're important to me Torii. Of course it does. I'd rather have you around doing nothing potentially dangerous than have you working at maximum output and at risk of injury or such."
> "Thanks."
> Prepare what else we need and head for the car.
>"Hm?"
> "Where are we meeting, exactly? And how will we get there?"
>"There? Hm."
> "Alright..."
> Nod.
> "By chance, did you perhaps see Arumi leave?"
> "Mm. I'm ready."
>Proceed.
> "I'll try not to be too long. But of course, I can't entirely rush if it's not unpleasant either... Thanks."
> If nothing else, proceed to the receptionist.
> "Mm. I'm to meet with someone here, I believe..."
> "Er... Alright. Door?"
> Head up to there when she gives us directions.
> Approach.
> "Valentine Claythorne."
> "Good afternoon Akiko. I hope Ikeda-sensei's display didn't alarm you too much..."
> Nod.
> "So you called me here?"
> Follow.
> "Thank you."
> Sit down.
> Is it comfortable, or the opposite?
> "I'm fine. Thanks."
>"Mm."
>Nod.
> "Mhm..."
> "Of course. I was hoping here that it wouldn't anyways."
> "Now what did you call me here for? Having a bit of trouble with the project?"
> "Mm. Then what is it?"
> Well... look a bit patient, at least...
> "Hm?"
> Listen intently.
> "A land of sorts? Do tell, please."
> Do we know of such?
> "Hm..."
> Sip.
> "How frequent is such a dream? Was it just a one time thing?"
> "Sounds like it's important..."
> "Strange, but I'm intrigued."
> Look a bit surprised.
> "Me? You say... around a year though. I don't think we've met before school..."
> Nod.
> "And I haven't even heard of such a place until now..."
> "I wonder why I'm connected to it though..."
> Eat a bit.
> "Mm?"
> "Huh... I suppose I'll ask if they had any dream or know of such a place... Or even just the name."
> Nod.
> "Perhaps we could get together with the former two and try to piece it together."
> "It's interesting. Though, I am a bit busy with the project..."
> "Again, I'm interested..."
> Nod charismatically.
> "Mm. Thank you, by the way."
> "This is enough."
> Feast finely.
> "They've earned their reputation."
> "It's alright. Hm... Should we exchange phone numbers? My only trouble with such would be that family issues would arise or get in the way, however..."
> Is ours the same way?
> Give her our digits.
>"Perhaps a code-name would help... Do you have a preference?"
> Since we're waiting for her, how does she compare to us? Hair length and chest wise...
>Nod.
>Add Rem to our contacts.
> "Not sure... Hm..."
> What name are we fond of?
> Shrug
> Nod.
>Finish up.
> "It can be set aside for some time longer. There has already been a lot of progress, I think."
> Are there any more school days? Or are we just out for the rest until time to turn in the project?
> "We could try to meet with Maribel and Renko sometime, say it's school stuff. Or do you mean just the two of us, like this?"
> "Then you'd want to continue. Mm."
> "Sure."
> "Are we staying here?"
> "Mm... Right. We could say we had more business. here at least."
> Nod.
> "You know what. Let's just ask for some time to hang out. Doesn't have to be about our families or anything. Just as classmates. There's nothing controversial about that or anything..."
> "There's no way around that... But it's good to keep safe, yea..."
> "Then maybe we just have to be acceptable enough with those worrying. So that they're fine with us."
> "Yea. It doesn't have to be a fight with them. Just relieve their worries."
> "My, it's not selfish if I'd enjoy it as well..."
> "So how will we go through with it?"
> "Possibly. That way, we might get used to them anyways if they don't stop. Though that does restrict more eventually."
> "It's a start."
> "So then, shall we try to meet another time?"
>Add quest for researching "Gensokyo". Mainly asking Renko and Maribel about it. In person or over the phone.
>Also a quest for trying to get more hanging out with Akiko.
> Nod.
> Get up.
> Replicate.
> "It was nice meeting you."
> "So we'll meet again another time."
> Clean up our plate and whatnot.
> "It's alright."
> "If I don't do things myself once in a while I'll start thinking it's standard for that."
> Do so.
> "Thanks for the meal, along with the rest that happened here."
> Hold our hand out for a handshake.
> "It was nice."
> "Later, then."
> Depart.
> "Sorry for making you wait."
> Nod.
> "Mm. It was pleasant, believe me or not. Not a family chat, but just as girls, or classmates, if you would."
> "It wasn't really even business... And seriously? It's just my classmate..."
> "Whatever..."
> Nod.
> Just continue.
> "So where's Arie now?"
> Shrug.
> "I won't~"
> Head in.
> "Back."
> "It was basically a chat with a classmate, not a Sumadera."
> "It went good, okay? No tricks, no traps. A positive meet with my classmate."
> Sigh.
> "So where's Arie?"
> "Mm?"
> "Well she probably won't if I tell her that it went fine."
> "Whatever. I might have a counter for her this time."
> Shrug and start back for our room.
> Turn.
> "Come in and take a seat."
> Head in and close the door, sitting down somewhere too.
> "Gensokyo."
> "So that isn't just nonsense to you. Glad I confirmed that. And the meeting, well, it was just me and my classmate Akiko. Not me and a Sumadera. She didn't want things to be like that, and neither did I."
> Lean forwards.
> "But you know of this Gensokyo... Tell me all about it..."
> Sigh.
> "What?"
> "I've told you about the meeting already."
> "I don't know..."
> "World?"
> "Certain things normal people shouldn't know... You mean like, stuff like voodoo or necromancy? You really believe those? Plucking someone's hair and sticking it on a doll to control them... Raising the dead..."
> "I'm not too sure you are... I'm not sure I've met someone in class that's interested in stuff like that. Yet they were living with me the whole time... Ah, but not getting off track, I did ask about Gensokyo, Arie..."
> "The word came up recently. What do you know of it?"
> "Hm... How do you know about it? Where is it? How can somebody get there?"
> "Then answer... How and what do you know about it?
>"Mhm... How does one get there? Come on Arie, tell me everything."
> "Because I'm curious."
> "Alright. So you just get to keep the secrets to yourself then."
> Stand.
> "I guess we're done here."
> Head up to our room then.
> "Certain things?"
> Nod.
> "Strange. Sort of..."
> Watch.
> "Well I'm not just going to head all the way to the roof and get drunk. That'll end with someone falling over. So no thanks..."
> Blink.
> Head into our room and call Maribel.
> "Ah. Maribel? Is this a bother?"
> "Afternoon. So uh, A word was thrown around me recently... Well, not just a word, but a supposed place. By the name of Gensokyo..."
> "Recently yes... Though not much..."
> "How do you know of it?"
> "Have you ever... seen it?"
> "Hm... It's sounding interesting... I'm guessing Renko has too?"
> "So not her?"
> "I actually wanted to consider meeting up and discussing about this, if you could. But of course. It's probably something more important to you two than me. Will you call me back or should I just hold?"
> "Alright. Sorry about this whole weird thing, Maribel. Goodnight."
> Hang up as well.
> Text Rem: "Up?"
> "It seems your dreams are something. From what I've heard, it is a real place. Well, a fantasy place that can be found..."
> "Yep."
> Ensure the door's closed.
> Receive it.
> "Right. I'll trash 'em right after this."
> Unless we can now without ending the call, which, if we can, do so.
> "It's a place, yea... Apparently one of which normal things become twisted... I might want to find out more about it... But not want this to be more known by others. Definitely not..."
> "Shouldn't be too hasty on this either... How were those dreams, really?"
> "That's not very descriptive..."
> "That's more... Flying people..."
> "Hm... I do want to see it. But it may be too dangerous. I've heard there are dangers there too..."
> "Well, if you figured out how."
> "...I can't be certain yet..."
> "Clues maybe. But no certainties."
> "Yea..."
> "Mm..."
> "For the moment I'm confident in discussing, yea..."
> "Good."
> "Mhm."
> Hang up as well.
> What else do we plan to do? Quests or such?
> Lie down.
> What do we casually wear when in bed?
> Pajamas then!
> Let's at least be comfortable...
> Get in bed. Is our phone with us?
> Snuggle in a bit as we wait for Maribel.
> Parse previous posts
Daiko:
> "Oh. Hello."
Daiyousei:
>"What? Of course not Cirno-chan! She's a friend. And I'm helping her learn things You can help us too."
Daiko:
> "Daikoku Susumu."
Daiyousei:
> "She'd like our help..."
Tsuru:
> Peek.
Kiku:
> "Maybe someone found the perpetrator?"
Daiko:
> "Wait, but you've never seen me before... Heard of me or something then?"
Daiyousei:
> "I'm... not entirely sure... Maybe she's your sister or something."
Tsuru:
> Examine it.
Kiku:
> Murmer: "And Kiku toooo... or not."
> Sigh.
> What does it seem to be?
Daiko:
> "Hm... Why me though?"
Daiyousei:
> "She's a friend."
> Look a bit upset.
> "Why are you trying to make it so you're the only friend I can have Cirno-chan?"
Tsuru:
> Magically identify it.
Kiku:
> "Dear..."
Daiko:
> "Well I... wasn't always like that..."
Daiyousei:
> "So you don't like her just because of how she looks?"
Tsuru:
> "You seem quite dangerous..."
Kiku:
> "And me? Nothing, again. Hm..."
Arisa:
>"Hmm?"
Niji:
>Can we see her?
Niji Blue:
>"W-We shouldn't be here..."
Arisa:
>"..."
Niji:
>Go look for her!
Niji Blue:
>"Y-Yeah..."
Arisa:
>"Yeah."
Niji Blue:
>"Yeah..."
Arisa:
>Follow.
Niji:
>Uh oh.
>Speed up the search!
Niji Blue:
>"..."
Niji:
>No time! We can check 'em later!
Niji Blue:
>"We shouldn't be looking at her...undergarments."
Daiko:
> "It wasn't always. Just a choice, a bad one, I made some time during my life. So not always."
Daiyousei:
> "There's some people that look alike that could not have anything to do with each other. It's not her fault. And you shouldn't be getting mad that she looks like you."
Tsuru:
> Try to stop it in place. Magically.
Kiku:
> Follow.
Daiko:
> Nod.
Daiyousei:
> "She isn't. She didn't even know about you until now."
Tsuru:
> Another type. Possibly time?
Niji:
>Try to get closer to the source of magic.
Niji Blue:
>"I-It's private!"
Daiko:
> "Yes..."
> Glance to Aya.
Daiyousei:
> "Not at all. She doesn't even know many people or things... That's why Daiko and I want to teach her."
Tsuru:
> At least try.
Niji:
>Can we fly over the bookcases?
Niji Blue:
>"B-But what if she finds out?"
Daiko:
> "So what about it?"
V!Aya-Daiko:
> "So will you be... her mentor, or whatever?"
Daiyousei:
> "I could never replace you Cirno-chan. Even if you went away forever, I would still remember and not replace you."
Tsuru:
> "Hm?"
Niji:
>How far away is the ceiling?
Niji Blue:
>"But what if she doeees?"
Niji:
>...
>Maybe that's not the best thing to be worrying about right now...
>Keep on searching.
Niji Blue:
>"..."
>Sigh.
>"Fiiiiine."
Daiko:
> "Hm..."
Daiyousei:
> Nod.
Tsuru:
> Watch it.
Niji:
>Keep going.
Niji Blue:
>"Mm."
Daiko:
> "Hm?"
Daiyousei:
> "We named her. Daiko and I."
Tsuru:
> "Ah."
Niji:
>How are the lights acting?
>How is Patchouli acting?
>Can we see Yuudachi?
Niji Blue:
>"Hm?"
Daiko:
> "Oh, but that implies something not innocent..."
Daiyousei:
> Look to Christine.
> "I think... she just came into... existence. A bit before we found her?"
Tsuru:
> "Careful."
Niji:
>...
>"Patchouli?"
Niji Blue:
>Considering who said that, that's a bit worrying.
Daiko:
> "Uh huuuuh..."
Daiyousei:
> Look to Christine.
Tsuru:
> "The most I could tell when I got here is that it has an extremely high amount of magic. And that any danmaku against it were just absorbed..."
Niji:
>"Hmm?"
Niji Blue:
>Walk out.
>"What?"
Niji:
>"With what?"
Niji Blue:
>Follow.
Niji:
>"...Can you give back Yuudachi?"
Niji Blue:
>"What's that for?"
Daiko:
> "Oh dear..."
Daiyousei:
> "How did you... get to the cave?"
Tsuru:
> Watch it.
Niji:
>"What are you researching?"
Niji Blue:
>"She's going to notice that!"
Daiko:
> Glance to Aya.
Daiyousei:
> Shrug.
Tsuru:
> "Did you... freeze it?"
Niji:
>"...Can I stay with Yuudachi?"
Niji Blue:
>"But the first person she'd question is me!"
Niji:
>"Thanks!"
>Look back at Yuudachi. "Hmm?"
Niji Blue:
>"If I leave, it'll make me look worse!"
V!Aya-Daiko:
>"Well so much for helping me on agility... Guess I'll just get back to Keine on helping you then...
V!Keine-Daiko:
>"Ms. Keine? Er, what were we discussing again? With helping Aya?"
Daiyousei:
>"Where was this icy place in the cave? Deeper? Some cavern of it's own? Another world?"
Tsuru:
> "Can you communicate with us, in some way?"
> Look to the... blob.
Niji:
>"What's the yellow stuff?"
Niji Blue:
>"But I don't want to just avoid her forever!"
Niji:
>"What for?"
Niji Blue:
>Can we see how the kappa are doing?
Keine-V!Daiko:
>"So?"
Daiko:
> "I wonder just what kind of book you expect this store to have..."
Daiyousei:
>"Maybe we should check it out when we can again... School might have to wait."
Tsuru:
>"Hm... One pop for no, Two pops for yes? Three rapid for... you need something else asked. Can we do that?"
Keine-V!Daiko:
>"That won't be enough, I suspect..."
Daiko:
> "Hmm..."
Daiyousei:
> "To learn more things from people that are the best at teaching things."
Tsuru:
> "Oh my..."
Niji:
>"Ok..."
>How's Yuudachi doing?
Niji Blue:
>"..."
Keine-V!Daiko:
> "Well I'm sure she doesn't want anyone at all to feel bad from what she does, at least..."
Aya-V!Daiko:
> "Are you... sorry for what you did?"
>What was it exactly?
Daiko:
> Watch.
Daiyousei:
> Nod.
Tsuru:
> "Yea... I wonder why it stopped though..."
Niji:
>Find a chair and sit down.
Niji Blue:
>Clap our hands together.
>"Yay!"
Aya-V!Daiko:
> "You promise you won't do something like that again? Because if you do, I really doubt anyone will forgive you a second time."
Daiko:
> "What was the title?"
Tsuru:
> "First we should get it out of the mansion. That would solve both partially. If it's lost, it might head to where it should be when out of this maze of a place."
>"No, I just don't think Alice's panties are worth it!"
>Steal everybody else's panties, including our own.
Aya-V!Daiko:
