Nazrin shrugged. "Dunno. I've never really tried, to be perfectly honest. I mean, I find lost objects and treasure. Not entirely sure if humans fall into that category, you know? Still, I suppose it's worth a try."

Newan tried to latch on to the voice. What's going on over there? Who is this?!] Something was definitely wrong, but Newan had no clue what it was. For one thing, contacting Xera shouldn't have led to buzzing. It sounded like the voice had said Katelin, but he wasn't sure. All he was sure of was that this made absolutely no sense.

Nazrin was concerned. Something was wrong with Newan. "Oy. You okay there? Buddy?" But he didn't respond. He was obviously focusing on something, but what it was was a mystery to her. "And what wings? Far as I can tell, you've never had wings."

Newan tried his best to ignore her. Damn it Nazrin, now isn't the time for this. Something else was happening. He had no clue what.

"...Okay. That's enough of that," Nazrin said, worried. But Newan just shushed her. Fear was starting to settle in. What's going on over there?

Upon hearing the word binary, Ranna took her chance and retreated into the darkness of the shrine.
She let out a sigh and scratched her head, looking back at the door she had just come through.
"Binary? Seriously? We're not computers..." she said aloud to no one in particular. With another sigh she turned and began walking into the dark halls of the shrine.
"Ah...where was it again..." She muttered as she tried to navigate through the darkness. To none's surprise, this only managed to bring her face closer to the floor. Her body fell with a thud as she tripped over soemthing that was on the ground.
"Ow...! " She let out an annoyed 'tch' as she turned her head to look at what had tripped her. She squinted to no avail, the darkness completely masking the hard object she had ran into. The girl mumbled a few complaints as she got to her feet and continued her search for one of the rooms that had been here prior to their journey to the outside world. Eventually she came to a door. She carefully opened it and peered in.
Sucess, she had made it to one of the rooms from before, her own actually. A pale illuminate shone in from the single window in the room.
Ranna let out a relieved sigh and stepped inside. As she was about to close the door behind her, she stopped.
The girl opened the door wide and looked in the direction she had came from.
Nothing but pitch black darkness occupied the long and narrow hallway.
She frowned uneasily and reluctantly pulled herself back into the room, closing the door behind her.
After a quick inspection of the room, she sat her bag down and found the futon she had used before. With a sigh and a yawn, she slid under the covers and rolled onto her side, her gaze facing the door. Silence quickly took over the room. Ranna laid there still, as if waiting for something. Slowly, the girl's eyes began to close, and soon enough she was asleep. She'd need to have energy if she were to leave for the Netherworld tomorrow.

I think what was meant was that Ranna heard the word 'binary' when either newan or Aesera said it.
 
--------------------------------------------------
 
That can't be good. [Azeri. Azeri, can you hear me?]

Aesera'd failed in attempts to contact Azeri before, but this was different. Before, there'd just been nothing, but this time... It's like something's... blocking me, or something. Not good.

"Okay," Aesera said, "change of plans. Nazrin, how much do you need to find an object?"

"What do you want me to find?" Nazrin asked.

"A person. I still want to find Nanaya, but someone else will need to go to her. You and Newan can do it, but I need to know where someone else is first. I need to speak to my other self, but I am being blocked. But there is someone who knows my other self quite well. You said that you're better at finding objects than people, and fortunately, Mima has a staff that you could hopefully use for that purpose. I need to see Mima, and as soon as possible. She knows my other self very well, and she may have some insight into how I can contact him. I need to speak with her as soon as possible, and for that, I need to know where she is. Can you locate her?"

Connection with who...?
And where's this Moriya shrine place at...?

She shook her head to clear her thoughts. It didn't matter right now anyway. Maybe she'd think about asking Youmu when she woke up.
... Youmu.
'Nothing you would have done could have helped.'
Nothing I could have done... Yeah right...
Maybe if I wasn't so weak and slow I could have got her back in time...

'There wasn't a thing that would have stopped it.'
... Who cares? I failed to help her and ruined her last birthday for her... Even delaying it a day would have been better...
'Would it really have been better, if she'd spent that last day in pain?'

Her shoulders sank.
... Stop making sense... Now I just hate myself for being so selfish...
'... You're not selfish. You just wanted what was best for her, and overlooked a detail you wouldn't normally consider.
Remember what I said about keeping things together.'
... Yeah... Right...

With that she laid down on the grass, and stared at the sky.
"... Wish I'd brought my telescope. It'd be nice to see how it looks, closer up."
'Draw it. You brought your book for a reason, right?'
"Guess you have a point..."
So with that she retrieved her bag from her and Youmu's room, got her notebook and returned to the back of the shrine to occupy herself.

... She intended not to sleep that night.

If you're talking about Mima being in the outside world, Aesera doesn't know that. And if she finds anything that indicates that's where Mima is, then she'll go looking for a way to get back to the outside world. Is this something she'd find a way to do, or would she fail to?

Also, you say that we'll have greater plot influence for a while, but are you sure about that? People can be wary of doing much that effects the plot, because such things can easily go against your own plans (and against things about the plot that we don't actually know about yet). So if you want people to take more initiative, are you ready to handle the potential consequinces?

And would I be correct in assuming that it's okay to encounter basic, low-level chaos enemies? Oh, and Aesera can call on her new sword thing when she chooses to, just like the lance, right?

It isn't for a while. This is what Act Two will be like. My own plans are flexible and can morph to fit however you guys effect the plot. And techniqually, about Mima being in the outside world, it wasn't about it. I know that Aesera doesn't know. It's mostly just Orphea mentioning things and I wrote, saying that they weren't there and stuff. I don't want this problem to happen again, so I need people to check the first page often. And of course, I'm ready to handle the potential consequences. It's like Skyrim. What you will do changes the course of everything I will throw at you.

And it's alright to encounter basic Chaotic enemies. And yes, you can use your sword. Using it changes your outfit to what was shown to you before. Wings can be summoned at your will without any changes to anything else.

They? Who is the they you speak of? If it's the basic enemies, yeah, they do stuff. Wander around mindlessly on patches of pure dark, decaying matter until provoked or attacked. They take the forms of sludgeballs covered with tentacles, with their signature long necks and sharp heads, with red, streamlined eyes covering their head. The thing different shading them from the more powerful counterparts are the lack of green, demonic skulls atop their heads and/or body.

Using the lance is sword simultaniously is very, very, VERY hazardious to Aesera's mental and physical health. The amount of energy from generating the sword itself is mindblowing, and overuse of it will deteriorate muscles and bone. For the lance to be out at the same time, the energy needed drastically fluctuates, causing mental problems, blurry vision, vomitting and fainting. Of course, you may be able to use both for a very, very short time...

You can cleave stuff with the sword, slash, cut, whatnot. You can emit burning light from it too. And the cloak+Armor, how would you forget that? You're equipped with armor and have a cloak/robe over you whenever you activate it. For the powers of the cloak, you have'ta figure it out by yourself.

Also, Sampson, you should write of your journey with Orin to the underground~

It didn't take long at all for the pair to reach the entrance to the underground, a rocky hole in the landscape near the shrine.

"You see, I doubt the shrine maiden would've come if the entrance had been any farther away," explained Orin.  "She's pretty lazy."

"I...see?"  Gale looked back behind him.  "Are you sure this is a good idea?  There's safety in numbers, and two isn't exactly a big thing."

"You worry too much," she replied, ducking into the hole.  "It won't take long at all for us to reach the Palace.  We took a shortcut last time."

"And can we not take the shortcut again?  It was an altogether unpleasant experience."

Orin shrugged.  "If it comes down--" she suddenly became silent.  "Did you...did you hear that?" she whispered tensely to Gale.

Gale strained his ears to listen.  They were a few yards into the underground now, and there was hardly any light.  He heard a slight rustling sound, the sound of motion, and caught a glimpse of something moving.

He focused his energy and held his palm out in front of him.  An unsteady, flickering orb of light floated a couple of inches above his hand.  It was enough to see the grotesque spiders on the wall near them, crawling in from the entrance to the underground.

"Gale," muttered Orin, "kill those things.  Now."

The orb of light floated a short distance away, illuminating the cavern further.  In his newly freed hand, he summoned the whip of light and lashed out at the ones nearest to him.  They fell relatively easily, as he caught them off guard.

"G-Gale!" screamed Orin.  He turned his head and saw one of the Chaos spiders latched onto one of Orin's legs, biting into her flesh.  He ran toward it and struck it down while it was busy munching on kasha skin.

"Ugh...get the light ball thing over here..." she groaned, looking at her leg.  Blood trickled from the gash on her leg, but what worried Gale more was the purplish border around the wound that was spreading slowly--very slowly--throughout her leg.

"It looks...poisoned?  I dunno."

Orin winced at she lightly poked at the wound.  "I think Yamame would know what to do."

"Who?"

"She's a spider youkai.  She knows stuff about infectious diseases.  She's our best bet, seeing as she lives in this very cave."

"Ah.  Let's go, then.  Need help walking?"

Orin raised an eyebrow at him and rose up above the ground.  "Yeah, did I mention most of us youkai can fly?  Yeah..."

"You choose the oddest times to tell me things."  He shook his head.  "Whatever.  Let's go..."

They rushed through the underground cavern,  the ball of light traveling beside them.  They both scanned the walls as they moved for spiders.  Thankfully, they encountered no more.  They seemed to be coming from the entrance itself.

After a few minutes of running (or floating), they heard a woman's voice call out to them.

"Uh, hey!  Aren't you the kasha?  Whatcha doing here?  The satoris are--"

"Are they okay?" asked Orin excitedly.  Gale moved the orb of light toward the source of the voice, revealing a blonde youkai in a brown, spider-like dress dangling from the ceiling.  Yamame, most likely.  "Are they?"

Yamame flipped around and fell to the ground.  She looked at Orin, concerned.  "Uh...your leg looks--"

"I know.  It's nasty.  Are they okay?"

Gale sighed.  "We were attacked by these...ah...mutant spiders near the entrance.  She got bitten by one of them and she said you might know what to do.  The mutant spiders were probably based on actual spiders, so there should be an antivenom that would stymie some of the infection.  I don't think you'll be able to cure all of it...can you?"

Orin rolled her eyes.  "Seriously!  Are they okay or not?"

Yamame looked more closely at Orin's leg.  "Hm...well..."

((Aaaaaand feel free to take it away.  I didn't want to get too detailed or anything, because the Nuclear Furnace is connected to the Moriya Shrine, and I'm not sure what would happen to the underground from that angle...so yeah.)

Aesera - basically, you get this as a mental ping in your mind.

Bzzzt.

Connection to Azeri has been partially lost.

Bzzzzt. Attempting to reestablish connection...

...
...
...!

Reconnected!

"Why is there only madness in your mind?!"

"You're better then this! You can overcome it! You're my partner!"

Bzzzt.

"By the name of the Second Child of God! I shall put an end to all these atrocities you've committed!

"Then come at me, Lord, thy God. Do you have enough flames at your disposal?"

"RINNOSUKE!"

"COME! CHAOS HUNGERS!"

Bzzzt.
Bzzt
Bzt
...
..
Connection to Azeri has been permanently(?) lost.

Yamame raised her hand, lifting it up to her chin and rubbing it. Just like how an old man would when he contemplated his thoughts. The scar on Rin's leg didn't really looked like any of the spiders she had knew and loved.

"...Mutant spiders, eh?"

Yamame places her hands on the wound, getting a soft yelp from Orin as her fingers grazed the wound slightly. Slowly, the veins around the wound almost just popout, and pulsate. A burning pain surges through her entire leg, causing Rin to just grab and press her whole leg. She let another yelp burst out of her throat before she bit her tongue, holding the noise back in.

The spider youkai began to sweat. Her hands began to shake.

"...Those weren't spiders..."

Gale flinches, looking at the slowly-tiring Yamame. "W...Wait... T-"

"But I can remove the infection. It's like poison. A very vile version of venom. It's not toxic. It's just... Alien... It's... Different... It's like a parasite..."

Black ooze began to leak from the wound, bubbling in it's disgusting form. Tiny tentacles begin to form on the surface, only to be shot by a small needle-shaped projectile by Gale. The ooze seemed to have a life on it's own, squirming and dripping all over the ground, slowly pulling itself away from Orin, along with Yamame's help. After the last of the black ooze leaked out of Orin's wound, the pain stopped. Yamame pulled her hands back, panting. A illuminated, green concentrate then began to flow freely out of Orin's wound, just like how the black ooze did.

As it reacts with air, it instantly evaporates, turning into visible specks of white light. They burst in the air and eventually disappear. The black ooze soon evaporates too, into the same phenomenon.

Yamame leans back, panting. "Damn... I don't know why, but that... That just took a lot out of me. As if it just sapped my energy away..."

Gale begins to sigh. Both with relief and agitation. As Rin pulls her hands back from her leg, Yamame turns to face her.

"What did you get bitten by, anyway. That's really not a spider's venom..."

"...I can't describe it... well..."

"Some black spider-looking thing." Gale interrupts.

"...Oh, you." Rin punches Gale in the arm, faking a laugh.

...You should probably get going, should'nt you?

((Oh I see. I'm waiting on Miles. I shall prepare some bricks))

As Mokou sauntered through the darkness, she let out a loud yawn and stretched her arms high into the air. As she finished yawning, she folded her arms behind her head.
"So what now..." She muttered aloud, a slightly concerned frown forming on her face. She didn't quite know where to go from here. Who was their enemy? Where were they hiding? What were they even plotting? It was all a mystery. Not just to her, but more than likely to every member of the group. No one had any idea who the true villain was. If what Vante said was true, and that Chaos isn't really evil, then who is the real villain? Mokou's brow furrowed slightly.
"Them gods must be some slackers if their gettin' corrupted dis easily..." She mused to herself as she plopped herse;f down on the shrine's engawa and moved into a more comfortable position. The immortal let out one last yawn and then rolled over, using her arm as a pillow, and closed her eyes, quickly falling into peaceful darkness.

"Okay," Aesera said, "more just happened. Kanako, Nazrin, does the name 'Rinnosuke' mean anything to you?"

"Yes," Kanako said. "He's half-human, half-youkai. He runs a trade shop near the human village. Has a lot from the outside world."

"How does he get that?"

"Stuff falls through the border sometimes. He finds these things and puts them in his shop. But... why are you asking about him?"

"I just had one burst of connection," Aesera said. "Rinnosuke and someone else-I think it was Azeri-were... well, they were fighting. And Rinnosuke was with the chaos."

"Oh," Kanako said. "I see. Are you saying you want to go after him?"

"There's no way this is happening at the shop," Aesera said. "We don't know where he is. And... well, if he's taking on Azeri, then I'm not ready to take him on. And I don't think he'll kill Azeri. He can't, because Azeri is connected to the chaos."

"I see. well, maybe you can't win directly, but you may be able to defeat the chaos within him as you did with Rin."

"I didn't say he's corrupted," Aesera said, "and he may not be. What if he's our unknown enemy?"

"Oh," Kanako said. "Um, I wouldn't think he'd do something like that."

"It's still possible. We'll keep it in mind, but for now, our objectives remain the same. Nazrin, try to locate Nanaya and Mima, please."

OOC: This is the first half of my post. The second will have to wait 'til tomorrow, or if YJ decides to reply to this, then no need for it.

The night sparrow was generally uncomfortable. What she asked Vante was understandable.

"Hey, Vante, I have a favor to ask."

The intern's eyes blinked forcefully. "What is it?"

Still closing her eyes, Mystia continued. "Do you remember where my cart is? I need a change of clothes." Bloodied, torn clothes made of unfamiliar fabric were something the bird wanted to change out of, but she was too tired to get up.

"The one by the village? I'm not sure if I should be going alone. Who knows what's lurking there, whether it's Chaos or not?"

"Grow a spine, will you?" the girl drawled, "I would do it myself, but you messed up my sleeping schedule. Your loss, genius."

Following the episode he had unconsciously, all Vante had to defend himself with were his baston, which were not exactly effective against opponents the size of crawling blobs. Chaos also proved to be quicker than he, which would make it hard for him to retaliate. He didn't have any long-range offense, either.

"Nighttime isn't a favorable condition to go out to the woods. They're busy with the problems we should be attending to in the morning. That'll have to wait, " Vante related to the youkai.

"Mmf, whatever works..." Mystia moaned.

"What do you-" Vante stopped once he realized Mystia was snoring soundly. There was really nothing to describe Mystia's radical behavior.

He was interrupted from looking at the moon when he felt a poke.

"Although, I have a friend who can accompany you," Mystia recalled, "I'm just not sure if she'll attack you on sight or not. She's also a youkai, and she's probably awake right now."

"Who is she? You'll still need to come with me, otherwise this friend of yours might probably not believe me."

"You have your sticks; you'll be fine, trust me. She's easy to confuse, as long as you keep moving around her."

"How can I believe you?" A silence proceeded the question, stumping Mystia. "Nocturnal creatures perform best at night. Why are you sending me to one?"

"...fine. Fine, I'll go! I might as well make sure we get the clothes now. Geez," the night sparrow forced herself up, straining her abdomen arms to push. She shook her head, and her eyes peeked open.

Nothing was so off about the girl, except for her ruined shirt. She was just tired and looked really groggy; otherwise, she was fine. Her wings took some experimental flaps, to make sure they were still active. She sauntered off towards the entrance of the shrine grounds.

"We'll be leaving for a while," Vante called to the rest, "We'll be near the Human Village if you need to find us."

The human took off after the the bird.

Crow, just go on and continue~ Also note that the human village is now basically ruined buildings and infected matter.

Also, I like how everyone is forgetting about the unconscious residents of the SDM and co. lying around.

((So like. Fuck waiting. I'mma take control here and actually get things a moving.))

((Incoming Time fuck is inevitable))

As time passed, silence covered the shrine. Everyone had either gone to bed, or had departed the shrine.
Eventually, the darkness began to subside, light slowly brightening the dark night sky. Time moving ever slowly forward.
The Dawn had come.
As the sky changed from black to blue, the sleeping immortal began to stir.
She shifted in place a bit, letting out a few quiet groans. As she rolled over to her left side, she opened her eyes slowly.
Huh...where- oh that's right, I'm at the shrine... She muttered in her mind. She blinked a few times, alerting her tired eyes to the scenery around her.
The world was dimly lit with a pale blue. The colors were duller, and there was not the slightest sign of movement. With a weak sigh, the immortal pushed herself up to a sitting position.
"S'pose it's a good sign that morning came..." she mumbled as she scratched her head. Now more aware of her surroundings, she gazed around, looking for anything out of the ordinary.
Nothing.
Everything remained still and silent. Not even a single fairy was around.
Mokou frowned slightly as she lazily rose to her feet. She stretched her arms high into the air, taking in a deep breath as she did so. As she exhaled, she lowered her arms, placing her hands on her hips for a moment. After examining her surroundings once more, she let her arms fall to her sides and she sauntered around to the front of the shrine.
The large torii stood silently, the horizon stained with a pinkish color far off in the distance. Gensokyo's landscape was still shrouded in darkness, the features of the land undistinguishable from where the human stood.
Mokou let out a slight sigh of relief. So far, nothing seemed to be wrong. Mokou turned her gaze towards the shrine.
It, like everything else, was also silent. It stood strongly amongst the many trees that bordered it. It appeared as if not a soul was inside it.
For a moment, Mokou pondering heading inside to check if everyone was alright, but she shook the idea from her head. Hesitantly, she turned back towards the torii.
The immortal recalled the assigned locations she had given the party last night. No one seemed to comment on them, but Mokou couldn't force them to go one place or another. If worst came to worst, she'd need to venture Gensokyo's entirety all by herself. She frowned at the thought, but shook her head. She turned her attention to the darkened landscape that stretched out from the shrine.
"I might as well get ta move on..." She mumbled. As she was about to call forth her wings, she recalled the people that were sleeping in the shrine. She gazed back at the quiet shrine, a frown on her face. With a light sigh, she leapt into the sky, her hands in her pockets.
With simplicity, the immortal rose into the sky. Once she was far above the ground, she looked out at the horizon. It seemed brighter from where she 'stood' in the sky. With a deep breath, she began to fly off in the direction of the human village.
As she moved across the early morning sky, the cool nightly breeze blew past her, chilling her slightly. She ignored the cold with ease. She was used to it. The heat and the cold.
As the wind ruffled her long flowing hair, thoughts began to slow through her mind.
Hmmm...I wonder how Keine is doin'... She said in her head. As she recalled her friend's behavior, she chuckled slightly.
She'll prolly end up lecturing me, wondering why I suddenly disappeared without a warning She mused, a faint grin on her face.
As the sky began to brighten, and the immortal came closer, she could make out an outline on the ground. With each second, she got closer and closer, the scenery becoming less blurred.
Finally, she was close enough to see the Human Village.

((And YJ, if it makes you any happier, I read through the first post again))

((I looked everywhere and couldn't find an answer, so I'll ask it now. Those who used their chaotic connections, they are able to manifest their energy correct? How would said energy manifest itself?))
