Sawaguchi`Mai:
Karuisuwa 8:35am "The Opposite" mansion
Since everyone was silent. Zei decided to break the silence.
Zei: ...well. Guess I'll introduce myself. damnit...it's not fair. *stands up, walking over to Pearl*
Hi Pearl, my name is Zei Akabane, leader of Team Onii-san. I won't explain everything but I guess I'll introduce you to everyone in here.
Everyone in Team Onii-san: *runs over to where Zei and Pearl are*
Zei: ..ok. The one in the orange is Shizuha Aki, goddess of Autumn.
Shizuha: *shyly waves*...
Zei: Don't worry. She's like that. To the right of her is Reisen Udongein Inaba, lunatic rabbit from Eien-tei.
Reisen: Hm? Oh, hi there. ^_^'
Zei: To the left of Shizuha is Mystia, the night sparrow. don't believe this but she's always being chased around by Yuyuko. Poor girl..
Mystia: *glares* *_*+
Zei: Nothing, nothing. And last but not least, the one that's standing infront of them and ALMOST close to me, is Flandre Scarlet, from Scarlet Devil Mansion. ..and it has already broke down due to the event. Long story.
Flan: *looks at Pearl* ...o.o
Pearl: ...she seems kinda cute. *Looks back at her and shakes her hand* Pleasure to meet you, Flandre. ^_^'
Flan: ...you too. *smiles softly*
They all ran back to where they were.
Zei: That was a bit enough of a introduction. KOJI. D<
Koji: ..ara?
Zei: Was that rant long enough or what?
Koji: ._. Do I have to answer that?
Zei: ._.' Well I'm only asking. Couldn't have done worse.
Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch:
Outside Shrine gates 8:35am Day 2
Dust clouds were seen outside town, sendig many of the people into hiding. What they didn't notice was that one of the tanks had what appeared to be a tatered, orange shirt flapping in the wind.
Frank: Full speed ahead!
Caboose: Who'da thought that we were so close to a government armoury?
Escapee 1: yeah, but couldn't we have stolen more? I me- get your ass out of my face!
Escapee 2: Sorry, but there's not enough space in here!
Caboose: hey, you guys, stop fighting. Look, there's another tank right over there. just take that one!
Frank: Alright you guys, get ready. We're gonna take that thing!
Escapee 3: Time to add to our ragtag fleet!
The tanks pulled up next to the empty hulk.
Escapee 4: huh? what idiot names their tank Challenger? That's just asking for trouble.
Escapee 3: II? What happened to the first one?
Caboose: ? This signiture... Etch-E-Sketch? Are you here?
Frank: Who?
meanwhile...
A small alarm ringing brought the attention of Thirtyfour. The IR sensor found government tanks right next to the Challenger II.
Where Austin was...
Sitting on one of the futons, Austin scanned the area with the laptop. A little warning appeared on the side. " TWO HOURS OF CHARGE LEFT "
Sighing, he went back to scanning the area. Team Shakin' would have to move quick to avoid detection from the others around here. They would probably not take too kindly to intruders...
One particular part of the scan caught Austin's eye. It was a Government ID, but it seemed so badly made that it had to be.
Austin: Caboose...

ABANDONED SANIWA SHRINE, Karuisuwa, 10:00 am
Meira and Hirowaza had somehow ended up passed out for the entire time that they were there, somehow, they were unnoticed by anyone else, perhaps they were too busy with their own problems. However, that really didn't concern the two much anymore. The two of them came to and found that they felt much better, perhaps due to the whole passing out deal. In any case, they now had to find other signs of life because the two were positively sure that there were others around now.
"What... what was that horrid commotion?" Hirowaza questioned. To this Meira shrugged sleepily, rubbing the sleep off of her eyes. Hirowaza shook Meira a little awake. "Meira-san, please, come to your senses!" he said this somehow not sounding pissed off, rather he seemed kinda concerned, even if he actually wasn't. She wasn't supposed to know that.
Meira yawned. "Hmm... Yoh-kun, what is it?"
"There are other people here!"
"Hmmn... How are you so sure? What if?"
"Didn't you hear that awful explosion sound? I thought I heard someone stomp off!"
"...That voice did sound vaguely like a certain magician, but... Hmm..."
"Well, let's go find."
Meira simply nodded and the two of them stood up. The two of them left the seemingly vacant room and wandered out into the corridors of the shrine. When they wandered aimlessly, they swore they could see some sort of person dash past them, but they paid no heed to it. The two of them started opening any doors they could, to find signs of life. Meira on one side, Hirowaza the other.
"Are you sure there are people here?" Meira asked, clearly getting agitated.
"Y, you... must believe me, Meira-san!" he retorted.
Well, in fact, there were people here, but would they be able to find them or even be noticed? That is a different story.
Gpop:
8:35 AM Abandoned Shrine.
"Hmm, apparently there's someone else here." Satori whispered quietly to Koishi and Gpop. "And her name is Pearl."
"Oh, are you reading minds again?" Gpop asked, wondering who's mind she's reading.
"Oh yeah. I somewhat do this on my spare time anyways. I always wonder what others are thinking, although it's usually not very pleasant." Satori explained.
"Well then...I SAY WE SHOULD INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO HER!" Koishi shouts happily.
"Hmm, maybe we should." Gpop agrees.
The three of them left the Abandoned Shrine and walked towards "The Opposite" mansion. They enter through the front door and heard some commotion in the living room. They quickly head towards it and quickly noticed the beautiful girl in the middle of the room.
"...only asking. Couldn't have done worse." Gpop heard this voice coming from Zei.
"And who's this new girl here?" Gpop asks.
"Oh, another boy it seems. You look rather cute." She smiles and shakes Gpop's hand.
"...yeah. My name's Gpop. And here is my wife, Koishi, and her sister and my friend, Satori" Gpop greets happily. Pearl later shakes her hand with Koishi and Satori. Gpop notices some jealousy in her face, but Pearl seemed to have disregard it.
"Don't worry Koishi. I'll never take anyone over you."
"Sis? Is he telling the truth?" Koishi asks.
"Yeah, he is. His heart is still only on you." Satori replies.
"Oh, what a strange...power you have..." Pearl gazes at Satori. "Can you tell what I'm thinking at the moment?"
"Hmm...well you're glad to see us, that's for sure. You seem to take a liking to Gpop...like I'm going to let you...but most of your heart is glad that your father is here." Satori tells Pearl.
"Oooh. That's a neat trick there! Well nice to meet all of you anyways!" Pearl exclaims.
Gpop's stomach grumbles, and the smell of pizza definitely doesn't help much. "Uhh...sorry to be rude or anything, but I'm a bit hungry. I completely forgot about food."
Nemo★Ma:
Tourist Helper Shop 2nd Floor, 4:05PM, Day 2
A loud crack can be heard from the Attic, which quickly caught Lily White's attention.
they ran to the attic, only found there is no one there but a small tube on the ground.
The tube is dark red in colour, sealed with a black cap. On the tube there are a label with the letters "Koishi" on it.
Amarillo seems a bit surprised and she picked the tube up and opened it. There is another note inside:
--- Quote ---"A-Chan:
By this tube you may know who really I'm, I have known your every move since you have arrived. You have showed super bravery this morning which made me realize that my mission here is done. So I left this shop to you, you can invite as much people as possible as long as they can live here. There are 7 rooms in this shop, plus the Attic you are standing in.
The computer's network is encrypted so you can safely browse any data.
Before I left, I want to give you some hints: Relay less on your Abilities since it's not Gensokyo. This is the modern world so try relay more on Technology. If you are still unaware of what I'm saying, just look at the shop's new stock of Mobile Phones. I'm sure you can use them, as well as the other humans.
I heard you mention your "Fairy Lightspear"'s Cannon Mode. I warn you not to try to deploy that. Only people who specialize at Telekinesis or Telepathy can handle that weapon. You are only a ESPer so don't do it.
Since my job of "Resorting Amarillo to a safe place to stay" had completed, I may disappear from your sight. I'm not meant to show myself before Any Gensokyo Resident, not now.
You may find the household's official file, Addressed to you, in the drawer of this room.
Your enemy is not FARGO so your data is only existing in our database, not in enemy's.
Goodbye and Goodluck. And don't expect me to return.
Some Kirin"
--- End quote ---
[/i][/color]
After Amarillo finished reading the note, she become even confused.
There is only one people from Gensokyo who will use that kind of tube in a special occasion.
There is only one people in Gensokyo that will refer her as "A-Chan"
The answer is clear.
But what about the uninformed departure?
The hints she gave are confusing too, from the tone it seems that she should not abuse her ability not because of her body status, but for some other reasons.
And why did she mention the Internet is Encrypted? It seems that the enemy is try to trace their targets.
Questions, questions, questions...
The fact is clear too, this shop is now hers and she can do anything with it. Like making this place a Headquarter under the disguise of a Tourist Shop.
Lily white's question dragged Amarillo back, "So what did the note mean?"
"Well," Amarillo replied, "It seems Old Jason is actually Old Jenny or something, and she thought her disguise had been blown so she hid herself and leave the shop to us. "
"I'm starting to understand why you are feeling confused, but all right. Also from the message I got from Sis it seems they decided to come here after they arrived in the town and look around."
"Yeah, I'm clear about that." Amarillo headed downstairs, "And also, do not except me to act crazy again like today morning again, it's... really dangerous."
"It's just that you took your hat off so you behave more... gentle." Lily white said.
"Yeah, I know, By the way the grocery is a lie so now I'll go buy some groceries, you can stay here and get some rest. You are not supposed to use your powers out of Gensokyo."
"You mean Teleport?" Lily asked, "That's the only way to get you back without being noticed by them, I mean these bad guys. "
"Yeah, I know. Now get your clothes ready and go with me. " Amarillo grabbed her jacket. And starts to left a message on the blackboard hang outside the shop.
"PREPARATION IN PROGRESS, CLOSED FOR 30 MIN"
"Remember to stick close to me when in the supermarket." As they are leaving, Amarillo added.
