RPG - Waking Up From the Dream (Story Thread)
Kojiremi:
The Opposite Mansion 8:35am (starring Zei, and Gpop)
Pearl: geez dad are you having a party or something? why didn't you ttell me i coulda cooked something up ya know?
Koji: yeah well this was super sudden. Lets just say a happy easy life continues to elude me for now.
Pearl: oh...i see another problem huh?
Koji: *is melancholic* yeah...another problem...anyway can you get our new guests some of the pizzas we have in the oven? I know we're all starving and tired from all teh troubles we been through hehe ^_^
Pearl: oh you have more cooking? okay *leaves to get them cheerfully.
Koakuma: BRING ME ANOTHER ONE ONEE-CHAN!! THAT WAS SO DELICIOUS!!
Minoriko: *cries* It brings me to tears to eat something so full of flavor and design!
Patchouli: the texture is indeed rough...but the taste is superb. Koakuma take note of how this is made and the ingredients immidiately! When we return home we shall make these in surplus!
Koakuma: understood m'lady!
Everyone was estatic about having this new thing called "Pizza" however Remilia was still full of doubts and concerns about this Pearl woman.
Remilia: "adoptive? is that a bald face lie to not tell us that she isn't his biological daughter? is she is then does that mean Kojiro is married? or was married?"
She watches him hand Gpop, Satori and Koishi some pizzas. The Komeiji sisters looked at it with bewilderment as expected but Satori knew it had to be good seeing how everyone was thinking but suddenly she read Remilia's heart. Her thoughts were swirling around in her head and her heart and Satori read every thought. Her doubt and hopes were colliding like a Kaleidoscope of Maidens. Remilia was troubled greatly but dared not say anything because of her pride and because she didn't know how to properly handle it.
Satori was about to say something but Kojiro intervened
Koji: Here Remilia have another one ^_^ *hands her another plate with another pizza*
Remilia looked at his smiling face and wanted to say something but she couldn't. All she could say was.
Remi: ah t-thanks Koji-kun
Koji: *rubs her head* your welcome Remily-chan. Enjoy. We can rest here for a while until we can come up with a plan.
Everyone talked amongst themselves, Zei and his team had a pizza eating contest, Pearl continued to bake Pizzas (luckily she can make her own as well as bake premade ones) and Gpop and his wife chatted happily amongst themselves. For a while everything seemed normal and happy.
THIS...was the life Kojiro wanted to live. One without a worry.
Watchin Gpop and Koishi made him jealous. Deep down even though Pearl used to tease him alot about not ever gettin married it bugged him a bit.
However Satori was reading everything again since she was curious about how he felt about Remilia since it was obvious to her that Remilia liked him to some degree.
Gpop: Satori?
Satori:.......
Gpop:? Satori? why so serious?
Satori:?? oh my apologies. I'm...just a little tired.
Gpop: Reading minds again?
Satori: ....It seems like Remilia-sama likes Kojiro but he's too pessimistic to see it
Gpop: really? *glances towards them*
Kojiro is talkin to Pearl in the kitchen and Remilia sits with Patchouli and Koakuma but doesn't seem to be fully immersed like everyone else...then again Patchouli isn't either.
Gpop: maybe she's tired? it is 9am and she's used to being sleep by now right?
Satori: yes that is true too she is tired. very tired. She's having trouble coming to grips with falling in love with a human. She doesn't know how to handle it.
Koishi: you don't handle it you just do what feels best to you like this
At that last word she steals a kiss from Gpop.
Gpop: well...i have to admit that does feel best
Koishi: see? ^^ maybe I can manipulate their subconscious? be their hidden matchmaker +_+
Gpop: no Koishi dear you can't force people to fall in love now let them be. They both are having problems and i'm sure they'll figure it out themselves and things will fall into place.
Koishi: aww okay darling. I hope so
The Opposite Mansion 12pm
While the pizza party concluded Kojiro had some music playing in the background and gave everyone rooms they can use to sleep in. Pearl was giving Team Freud a tour of the mansion. (Koishi's suggestion)
Shizuha and Minoriko were giving a room to sleep since they dozed off after eating and having fun
Mystia and Reisen shared another room with a bunk bed. Although Mystia had....problems with sleeping in a human bed but she soon submissive to tiredness
Flandre had dozed off in Zei's lap and he took her to a room and placed her on a bed to sleep on as well.
Zei: tch it feels so normal to sleep during the day...Am I turning into a Youkai now?....
Soon weariness caught up to him as well as he watched Flandre sleep and laid next to her. Too tired and lazy to climb into the bunked bed.
After that Pearl met up with Koji and Team Freud went to another smaller wing of rooms and gave his party a place to rest and sleep. However, Patchouli and Koakuma saw their library as they walked by and wanted to study the books he collected over the periods of his reincarnation. Kojiro didn't object at all and let them be on their exploration. Youmu was given a room with Remilia. But Remi protested soon after saying she'd rather have her own room, but really it was because she would REALLY rather not share a room with Youmu since she harbored slightly negative feelings for her.
Of which Satori read yet again. She was getting very curious as to if she, Youmu and Koji would be able to get along.
From what Satori could read, Minoriko sees him as a friend, Koakuma and Patchouli are mostly friends as well. Youmu sees him as her master/sensei and gives him proper respect and holds him in high regard since she was taught a few things from him. She noted that Youmu doesn't love him the way Remilia did and pondered if she should tell Remi that to help relieve her worries.
Youmu: I do not mind having a room to myself.
Remilia: then its decided. As a mistress I'm supposed to have a room to myself anyway.
Koji: hehe Haughty as every Remilia *pats her head* alright this way then mistress
Gpop: man how convenient that you both have mansions. Maybe it was just "ment to be" haha
Remilia blushed up a bit and was about to protest
Koji: haha yeah well she is the manipulator of Fate afterall. maybe it was "supposed to be"? hehe
Pearl giggled slightly and they continued onward. showing another room for Remilia to use
Koji: well you can sleep here Remi alright? the sun doesn't shine in from this side of the house so you won't be bothered by it as much.
Remi was dead tired and the sleep was very very tempting. But her thoughts were still at odds end with her weariness. Pearl started to take Koishi and Gpop to another room that they can use if they chose to stay over.
Pearl: Satori-sama?
Satori: yes?......yes that's fine.
Pearl:ah? ...ah! you read my mind again? hehe that is such a nifty ability ^_^ I'm sure Youmu wouldn't mind if you slept in the other bed with her. Oh dad?
Koji: yeah?
Remilia was stung a little bit at that term "dad"
Pearl: I'm going to go out shopping and buy the guests some new clothing?
Koji: ah yes great idea. I have to stay here and watch over them for the spiritual links to keep mana flowing
Pearl: yes i know i can see the links too they are rather unique having them typed to your fingers like that
The spiritual links were color coded for each of the girls and they lead a line that traced a path through the walls connecting straight to the girl's chest.
Red = Remilia
Orange = Minoriko
Black = Koakuma
Purple = Patchouli
Green = Youmu
Kojiro: so you saw em eh? hehe yeah i colored em myself its pretty convenient that way.
Gpop: wow you can see the links of spiritual energy? That's rather cool can you see mine too?
Pearl: yeah its right *points to his groin* there
Koishi: oh my really now? *blushed at the thought*
Satori:....*head meets palm*
Gpop: WHOAH WHAT?! you can't be serious?!
Satori: she's not don't worry *chuckles while saying it*
Gpop: oh come on that isn't cool!
Pearl: *chuckles as well*
Koji: ahhaha leave the man's links alone Pearl XD go on and get outta here already haha
Pearl: okay i'm leaving take care everyone ^_^
With that she leaves, Remilia was already in bed and ignored the fusing going on outside.
Gpop: man...i feel so used.
They start to head back still laughing and joking about his "links". however koji backtracked and went to remi's room and talked to her.
Koji: Remi? you sleep?
Remilia:....no i'm not.
Koji: ah alright. well i hope you had some time to relax today *rubs her head her hat lays on the bed post* Although we can't act like everything is normal...cause its not. Oh by the way what were you doin on the floor at the hot spring when i woke up?
Remilia's heart throbbed at the memory of it. she thought he would not notice or would just forget it. She perked up and made soemthing up on the spot
Remilia: N-nothing! i was passing by you and you jumped up at the shriek and scared me suddenly.
Koji: oh...really? *scratches his cheek in thought, the same cheek she kissed*
Remi: *very blushed* Y-yes that's all that it was.
Koji: ......hehe alright rubs her head* ya know....today was the first time you ever called me Koji-kun. That made me kinda happy to hear
Again Remilia's vampiric heart raced with adrenaline.
Remilia: *turns her head* don't think about it. i-it wasn't anything that special. i was emotional and happy to finally have peace of mind.
Koji: awww come on don't be a stick in the mud. *hugs her* I told you I care for you Remilia. Even when you think no one else does just know you do at least one good friend out there.
Remilia was so red that you woulda thought she was a tomato but he couldn't see it since he was hugging her. Friends wasn't something that she had.
Even in Gensokyo the fact that she drank human blood and was feared by humans and youkai alike didn't help. But what REALLY didn't help was the Scarlet Mist that she created which blocked out the sun. That incident could have led to catastrophe for all life in gensokyo and it was for that reason she was hated. At first she didn't care. Who needs friends when your the one with power and authority that can be matched by only those with equal or higher authority.
However her defeat by Reimu changed her thinking slightly and she started to do things that she wouldn't have done otherwise. to help her "friends" she tried to investigate the 3 day Pandemonium caused by Suika. To help her 'friends' she tried to help out with the fake moon incident even though there were many others already working on it. Even the Disaster caused by Tenshi she wanted to help with because Reimu's only home was destroyed at the start of it all.
She never really had friends though. Just her mansion and her subjects who were mostly fairies anyway. A useless gatekeeper, a magician who never leaves the library, her head maid who does everything she needs and a little sister who she barely goes to see becasue of her psychological instability. Kojiro was just the person she needed in her life. she admitted to herself that she wanted him as her best "friend"
Before she knew it she was hugging him back.
Koji: auug!...*a sharp pain in his neck*
Remilia:...........
She was sucking his blood. It tasted very fine and delicate.
Koji: ow ow....urrr...d-dam y-your teeth hurt Remilia. Just...just don't...spill okay? hehe-ow!
She bit him harder at that joke
Remilia: "just had to ruin the mood"........
As she drank his blood bit by bit he rubbed her back and noticed that her wings had reappeared as well.
Koji: ?? " oh wow....I guess the link has gotten stronger and her features returned? well that makes sense no wonder she's drinkin my blood right now."
Remilia finished her true meal of the day and much to his surprise. Started to lick his neck clean. He felt her soft tongue wipe away every single drop dry. Finally she released him and looked back at him with those scarlet red eyes
Koji: *rubbing his neck*....so...the Scarlet Devil has returned?
Remilia: no...this is only the beggining...
They hugged each other again and didn't let go for a while until she fell asleep. He laid her down on her bed and let the Scarlet Devil sleep soundly. A sleep that was almost forbidden at the time. He left the room headed back to the main hall. Happy that his link (and relationship) with Remilia is getting stronger.
Team Freud watched the spectacle through Koishi's subconscious barrier and was cheering them on.
Koishi: maybe they will work it out then? ^_^
Satori: well....as she said....its only the beggining.
Gpop: Yeah only the beggining. man i was hping they'd kiss or something
Koishi: oh come now dear they just now...in an awkward kinda way expressed that they cared about each other right? you can't just jump straight into a kiss just because you both find out you care for each other ^_^ hehe.
Satori:........what's this? now you want my sister to lick your neck? she's not a vampire.
Gpop: stop reading my mind all the time!! *embarrassed*
Koishi: hehehe <3 that can still be arranged ya know?
Opposite Mansion 12:30pm End
Sawaguchi`Mai:
The Opposite Mansion, 12:30pm ((After everything was over))
Zei woke up, hearing the commotion from afar.
Zei: ...huh. Guess everything's back to normal.
Flan: *tugs on his sleeves* Zei-niisan?
Zei: I wasn't spying! I too can hear good. D< Now I'll be right back, need to go check on the others.
Flandre didn't care and fell back 'asleep'
Zei left the room and went to the one next over, where Reisen and Mystia were.
Zei: *opens door* ....huh. They're ok n-- what the? *glares at Reisen, then at Mystia* ...features are popping back? "That's only an illusion.." *closes door*
Zei then went back and opened the door to his room, closing it few seconds after.
Zei: Told you that di--
Flan: *glomps him* Really think I was asleep, Zei-niisan?
Zei: Wha..?! Haha. I know you weren't. *sits down on the bed*
Flan: ..so if-- *silently stares* o.o..
Zei: *baring his neck* ...go ahead. I knew you were gonna ask that. And I also knew you went down to check on Koji and the others.
Flandre blushed and bit his neck in response.
Zei: Ow... no need to be so rough. Just take what you want then go back to sleep. *rubs her head before feeling something else* ....damnit. *falls asleep*
Flan: Zei-niisan...*laughs* ..you're silly, you know that? ..and that's why I like you. *finished and fell asleep as well*
Zei: haha...I know..
Opposite Mansion, 12:40pm, END
Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch:
Shrine Gates 8:37 AM Day 2
Austin ran towards the commotion with Momizi and Nitori. It was important that they got to the place, as Caboose was there.
When he got there, he saw someone hitting Caboose's shoe that fell off with a piece of wood. One of the tanks was a flaming wreck, one had a rather mangled gun and the other one seemed just fine.
Austin: Holy Cra- Kappa...
Caboose: Etch? Is that you?
Austin: Dood! what happened?
Caboose: some asshole blew up one of the tanks and started beating the crap out of Frank and my shoe! What the hell? Do they hate escapees?!?
Austin: ... *sigh* alright Momizi, Nitori. Gather up those two over there and take that machine gun away. Maybe we can figure out what the hell is going on...
Nitori: Sure. Hey, as soon as we're done with that, can I look at the tanks?
Austin: knock yourself out.
A dust cloud blew up as Nitori tied up Thrityfour and Rika, took the machinegun, and then got into one of the tanks in one sentence.
Frank: urg... it feels like I've been hit repeatedly on the head with a piece of wood...
Thrityfour began to wake up. He wasn't getting the medical aid he was hoping for. For one thing, Rika was currently place on top of his face.
Austin: oh. You're awake. My name is Austin Magree. I do not wish to hurt you. I just want you to tell me what is going on.
Caboose: Hey, why don't we put a flag on this thing? So we don't get shot at again.
Frank: Good idea! uh... any ideas
Tapsa:
Inside a tank
Near the shrine gate
0840 hours
-----------------------
Thirtyfour's face was messed in dirt and blood. He eyed carefully Austin.
"I don't have name. But you can just call me Thirtyfour. If I understand correctly, these two guys here are hired by you?"
Thirtyfour looked at Frank and Caboose.
"I didn't just kill those people without a consent. It was self-defence. They were trying to steal my tank. But those two weren't, so I just knocked them unconscious."
My tank. MY. Rika was baffled.
Thirtyfour looked at Austin.
"I apologize for the unnecessary casualties. As you appear to have another tank ready, you don't need mine. I really hope that your mercs will mind their own business and go steal government's tanks rather than one's private tanks."
Thirtyfour coughed.
"But don't leave yet. Free me. Give me back my knapsack and the bottle of Absolut Kurant. I can treat myself and my buddy."
