>distort the light to see if it's someone trying to play with illusions... or that apparition again
>You distort the light in a pattern you've become familiar with.
>Standing over the shrine, holding the Green Gem in its right hand, is the Apparition. It is more complete, much of its body has come into existence now. Its arms spindly, and would look almost skeletal if they were made of two bones rather than a single rod. Its whole body gives you that feeling, what parts of it you can see. Its chest looks as though covered in a hauberk that covers its upper torso, leaving the lower exposed, whre you can only see a thick rod, like an exposed spine. It wears something like greaves as well, covering its midsection and upper legs, before terminating into more rods that serve as its lower legs. It is missing some of an arm and a leg, and still some of its face. But otherwise, it seems to be fully...there.
>It regards you with its cold, artificial-looking eyes, and begins to approach you.
> If there IS someone, fire some danmaku at around the room
> If not, leave
>You fire, creating waves up danmaku, more than you would have previously believed you could have ever made. Numerous shots cut through its spectral body, but it doesn't seem to be bothered by it.
> Ponder the chances that the Gems power is affecting the room, and possibly using the rope-thingie as a medium/extension/power up.
>You think the gems should work normally. It seems the space around the shrine has already been defiled.
