You know, this gives me an awesome idea. Guy finds the book in Gensokyo and uses it to seduce toehoes. Black magic, carnal lust, devil summoning, and lotsa BAD ENDS and such. It's like the PC game all over again but with less highschool and more powerful beings. I, for one, would enjoy writing a CYOA like that.

Curiosity gets the best of you. Putting the books that Marisa asked you to get under your arm, you grab the old book bound in leather. It's weight is insurmountable. It's not physically heavy, but you can feel that it carries a burden that weights down the very earth. Just holding it makes you feel strange. You look at the cover. You can't really tell what it's called, the title has worn away and the few remaining letters seem to be in an unrecognizable font. Upon close inspection, the leather seems very strange, you've never seen this kind before. You wonder from what animal it could possibly have come.

You open the metal clasps that hold the book close and open it to a random page. You could swear that you heard a groan come from the book, but you dismiss it and look at the book's contents. It's got a plethora of illustrations of... things. You can't quite describe them, since they seem to defy logic. The names are unpronounceable, and if you were to try to say them, you think that you'd go insane. Skimming through, a passage catches your eye. You read it, almost entranced.

“That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.”

Huh. That sounds familiar. You say it aloud. The book begins to, well, quiver with your statement. Freaked out, you drop it and yell out. You trip. falling backwards. You lie flat on your ass as the book closes itself and gets back on the shelf. You look around and see that there's someone behind you. You turn around slowly.

Standing there is a girl with long red hair and... wings coming out of her head. She's wearing a black dress with white sleeves. Say, she kinda reminds you of a palette-swapped Morrigan. Maybe she's a succubus too, ehehehe, you somehow think that you wouldn't mind getting seduced by her, especially with her assets. Wait, you shouldn't be gawking, you've been discovered! Fuck, she looks surprised at seeing you, but that could change any moment. You don't know what she's capable of and what she'd do to you. You've gotta think fast. You could try getting in touch with Marisa and asking for her help, that probably seems like the best course of action. You could always try out your magic, you might be able to distract her with a jolt or something. Besides that you don't know what else to do, you could try to bluff your way out of this, but you don't know how receptive she'd be.

You scramble to your feet. You try to think of what to do. The girl seems unsure of what she should make of you. You try to think of what to do, and calling Marisa or trying to bluff your way seem like natural choices. However, it would seem that your body has other plans. As if triggered subconsciously, you start to have one of your KeyAIDS episodes. You start feeling faint and your whole world starts spinning and fading away. The last thing you remember is collapsing onto the girl, in particular to a very soft pillow-like part of her. You hear her gasping as you fall unconscious.

You wake up a indeterminate amount of time later. You look at your surroundings. It's completely dark in here. There's a faint light source in the distance, but all it does is highlight the various silhouettes of crates, barrels, and shelves that seem to be crammed into every corner of the room. You try moving. You have some freedom in your arms and legs, but there seem to be some sort of restraint tied around them. From what you can infer, it's probably a set of shackles or something. You also feel unnaturally cold. And then it hits you. You're completely naked. Well shit, you're not even wearing your underwear. All of your clothes and items are gone. You start to struggle to see if you can set yourself free.

Not having any success, you give up. Waiting in the darkness is really unnerving. But after a while, you start to hear footsteps. A door opens somewhere and a person carrying a set of lit candles comes into the room. As they approach you, you see that it's the same girl as before. She smiles as she sees that you're awake You try to ask her where you are and where your things are but she cuts you off.

“Silence now.” She says in a deliciously seductive voice. “All you need to know is that you're mine now. I've taken care of your things and no one will ever know that you're here.” She smiles slyly. “It's a good thing that you showed up and collapsed in front of me, otherwise I might have been forced to take you to the mistress. And to be honest, recently the mistress has been busy with... people... friends she calls them. Bah!” The girl irritatedly says.

She sets down the candle piece on a nearby box.

“Apparently that annoying witch was looking for you.” She continues. “She even asked the mistress for help, but I had already hidden you here. This is a storage chamber that only I, who knows all of the library, would know about. So you can drop any idea of escape.” Saying so, she smiles devilishly. “I've been particularly needing a good energy boost.”

She walks up to you. She takes off her dress, you can see her amazing figure dressed in a torsolette (or is it a long bustier?). She smiles upon seeing your confused and aroused expression. More amazing still, is the fact that the girl goes directly for your crotch, with no reservation. She starts fondling your balls and playing with your dick. You immediately get hard. She giggles slightly when she sees your reaction.

“Good, the fact that you're willing makes my work easier.” She says to you.

Then, she executes the most amazing technique that you've seen. It's as if her hands are moving at the speed of light. She starts to take your cock into her mouth while her hands play with your balls and she uses a couple of her fingers to stimulate your asshole. You don't know what to make of this experience it's a mix of uncomfortableness, pleasure, and raw lust. You can feel your very essence melt away and go into this girl. It's almost as if she's sucking your very soul out. As she starts to stimulate your prostate you cannot resist anymore and cum into her mouth. She gulps it all down greedily, as if it were a precious substance.

You are completely exhausted, you feel like some of your vitality itself just escaped you. The girl looks up at you.

“Finished already? It was most delicious, but I don't think I can be content just with that. I'm going to have to make you try harder.” She says.

You try to protest that you can't get hard away right away but she just smiles and then starts to concentrate. She takes a small blade from her clothes and cuts the tip of her finger. Crimson blood drops fall onto your genitalia. As the first drop hits, you immediately get an erection. It's completely against your will, and you can't do anything to make it stop.

The girl giggles. “Teehee, now we can have fun for a good while. You won't get flaccid no matter how many times you cum.”

Saying so, she removes the bottom part of her outfit and her pussy is exposed. You can't see it that well due to the candlelight being weak, but you can tell that she's soaking wet. God she must be a nympho or something. She immediately mounts you in reverse cowgirl position. Her wings and long hair are turned to you and you're hypnotized by the silky movements of her hair as she grinds on your shaft. You look down to see where you're connected. You can see her magnificent ass shake every time she moves up and down, and this makes you even more excited. This whole experience is easily the most erotic one you've had ever. You make an effort to move your body in synch with her movements. She starts moaning out loud with that incredible voice of hers, as if not caring about the volume. You lean forward a bit and start to kiss the back of her head, she reacts by moving even faster. You can hear the sloppy sound of your meat entering her drenched cunt despite her ever increasing moans. You yourself are enjoying this immensely and you think that you're at your limit. You groan and unleash a load inside of her. She moans as well and from what you can tell climaxed as well.

She lays on you still erect member for a bit longer, then she gets up and changes position. She reinserts your penis into her vagina but this time she's facing you. You watch as her well-endowed breasts bounce up and down. It's quite a sight to witness. Her breasts are almost popping out of her bustier (or was it a - screw it, you can't think about technicalities now). So intense is the two going at it, that the whole room seems to shake, despite the fact that it's partially made from stone. She's enjoying herself immensely and you're sure that your face has a similar expression of ecstasy. Her juices are dripping all over you as you observe where you're joined. It's like an endless torrent of honey that's coming from there. You're sure that some of it is your own seed, but at this point you don't care as you instinctively thrust to seek more pleasure. The girl bends down a bit and seeks to kiss you. You accept it, and the two of you kiss deeply. You keep at it during all this, and you can feel her tongue jerk about as your shaft reaches her deepest confines. You don't know if it's because of the spell she cast on you, but you're about to erupt yet again. Your penis twitches inside of her for a moment and it explodes with a gush of semen. You wonder for a moment if it's humanly possible to cum so much so fast or if it's a side effect of the spell.

The girl separates from you for a moment.

“I haven't such a satisfying encounter in a while. You've got a wonderful piece of equipment there.” She says with an impish smile. At this point you're completely crazed and just want to bang her over and over again. She notices your agitation and giggles. “Well, it looks like you want more, I can't blame you. I'll give you a treat now.”

After she says so she casts a spell and unbinds your hands, you've now got freedom to move them. She comes next to you.

“Well then, ravage me.” She says in a seductive voice.

Having lost your mind long ago, you grab her and roughly push her down. Her breasts finally pops out of that tight piece of clothing. She seems to be enjoying seeing you in a frenzied state. You get on top of her and grab her large breasts with both of your hands. You massage them, pleasuring yourself in their softness. You bite her nipples, hard. She seems to enjoy your rough treatment of her. You pinch her nipples more and then you insert your hardened penis into her with no warning. She moans out loud at the sensation and you start to pump in and out furiously. You feel great doing it in the missionary position. It gives you a feeling of dominance over her. You see her enraptured expression and decide to go one step further. You pull out of her and stick your well lubed cock (wet with a mix of her juices and your semen) into her asshole. You cum just by going inside. It's a completely different experience from her cunt. She weakly moans out.

“Oooh~ not there!”

But you ignore her and because of the fact that your penis will not go limp you immediately resume moving. You stir her up, taking no heed to her increasingly labored moans. All you can concentrate on is the pleasure. You start nibbling on her wings. Her whole body contorts. She seems to enjoy that. You keep ravaging her ass while you step up your stimulus. You've lost track of how many times you've climaxed inside of her ass now. You just keep on going. She seems to have orgasmed multiple times as well, since you've noticed that she's convulsed rather violently in pleasure a bunch of times now. You feel yourself getting weaker every time you climax, but you ignore it in favor of the pleasure. You just can't have enough of this girl. She's as entrancing as a succubus of lore. Between her mature body, tight orifices, and amazing techniques, you've truly found bliss.

Many hours later, you collapse on the floor of the room. The two of you went at it for all this time. You feel like you're at death's door. But the unrivaled pleasure just felt too good. The girl gets up from beside you and starts to put her clothes on.

“I've got to go back to work. I'll bring you some food later, I can't have you dying on me now.” She smiles with her seductive smile. “You've proved to be quite the catch. I haven't felt this energized in years. Your essence...” She says as she licks off some cum that was on her thigh. “is the best I've ever had. It's simply intoxicating. I'll keep you around so we can have more fun together.”

She finishes getting dressed and reapplies your bindings. You can't even struggle, as your strength is completely depleted. It's as if she stole your very own lifeblood with all that sex. The candles have long since gone out, but she grabs the candle piece and starts to leave the room.

“Oh before I forget.” She stops as she leaves. “My name is Koakuma. And I'll be your new mistress from now on.” She smiles devilishly and asks you your name. “It wouldn't be fitting to treat my precious new discovery as an object so it's only fair that I know your name as well.”

You reply with your ragged breath 'Shirou' and then you collapse. From that day forward you would live only as a slave to pleasure. Koakuma would feed you with the most energizing meals possible to keep you alive. It would seem that she really WAS a succubus. It looks like your earlier words were now coming true. You don't care however, since all you can think about night and day is having sex with your mistress. Even if you somehow got out, you'd only want her and her delicious scent and body.

In the world outside the mansion things were complicated. Marisa became a persona non grata at Eientei, since they held her responsible for your disappearance. They even started sending out hits against her instead of Mokou for a while. Alice completely withdrew from society after your disappearance and implications that Marisa was responsible. The dollmaker's heart was a swirl of confusion and chaos. Her dolls grew twisted as well as a result. In fact, almost everyone that you had interacted with in Gensokyo felt your loss in one way or another. From the contrived Aya that tried to bury herself in work, to the simple miko who sometimes thought of the last big donation that she got, everyone would wonder what ever became of you.

BAD END

“No 'Tasukete Eirin' this time. Eirin is pissed off at your incompetence. I'm your interim Q&A guy, the Booze God.

Now, that was totally awesome dude. Reminds me of that time I became enraptured with a woman during my college years. We fucked like rabbits for two whole weeks in my dorm once. Yeah, that's right God of Studying, I wasn't sick, I was banging the brains out of a chick.

Ehm. Well anyways, you should be able to solve this. DON'T COLLAPSE ON KOAKUMA OR IF YOU ARE DISABLED BY HER CALL OUT FOR MARISA.

Seriously, anyone with half a brain would have either tried negotiating with her or calling for Marisa. But then again you were thinking with your penis it would seem.

Anyways, let's hope I never have to do this spot again, the pay is shit and there's no booze. Go fuck yourself and don't fuck up!”

-----------

You feel that collapsing now would be a bad idea. Maybe trying to talk to her and bluff your way out of this OR asking Marisa for backup would be a good idea. You probably could only do one before she comes to her senses. Of course, you could always try using your magic to distract her.

I don't really want an Alice route, myself, but it's worth pursuing just to see the RAGE and DESPAIR that will crop up when all the ones who do want it inevitably screw up and get Alice to flip out and either kill us or herself.

When that happens, I will laugh, and laugh, and laugh. Ooooh boy.

Yeah, you and a dozen others. But we were sorta rejected. We had only just started to impress her with our tales, but then went for the kiss way too soon.

Maybe if we had gotten her to reveal her personality by involving or seeing her fight Mokou or by treating her more like a "buddy" instead of a moon princess (that's why she brought us here, knuckleheads), but instead we've been pussyfooting around out of fear and lack of interest (implied friend-zoned, easier targets, lack of characterization, etc.).

>>4279
I don't think her rejection is as absolute as you might think it is.

Generally, if you think kissing or being kissed by a buddy is not a good thing to do, you don't do it to them yourself, even if it's "payback". And you especially don't slip in some tongue action on top of it.

There's no reason we couldn't make things work with the NEET. It's just that it would likely require more work than the Anons here are willing to muster.

Kaguya isn't some attention-starved loner who is so desperate she'll immediately cling onto the first person to show her the slightest bit of affection and appreciation. Nor is she the sort who allows someone to crudely have their way with her, only to wind up aching to gobble their knob because of it.

EASY MODO she is not.

Frankly, I'm disappointed that so many would set their sights so low. I'd question where their pride is, but I honestly don't know how much pride anyone is allowed to have when they kick-off their adventure by jacking off onto a figurine.

I suppose it's better this way. As we are now, Kaguya is clearly too good for us.

Wait, so are you all having second thoughts about what you people actually want? Perhaps we'll actually assert ourselves a bit more when we next see Kaguya?

I think Kaguya's route will be the most fun, outside the regular relationship building she's going to have to put us through those same five impossible requests as she did every suitor and that's a formula for wacky hijinks!

[x] Contact Marisa

Wasting no time, you immediately contact Marisa.

<Colonel this is Sna-err, Marisa this is Shirou. I need your help> You try contacting her.
<What's wrong Shirou? I should be done in a few minutes.> She replies.
<I've been spotted by a girl with wings in her head and long red hair. She hasn't said anything but I'm afraid I've been compromised. What should I do?>
<Alright, stay calm. Tell her you're a friend of her mistress and ask to see her. She should take you to see her and when you're there I'll swoop in and rescue you. Alright?>
<Roger.>

The girl in front of you is still staring at you, as if she's deciding how to proceed. You can tell that if you make a false move, it'd probably have dire consequences.

“Uhh, excuse me miss.” You say. “I'm a friend of your mistress. I'd like to go see her if that's possible.”

The winged girl looks at you for a moment and then softly replies.

“Alright. Follow me.” She says in a soft voice. You can almost feel a certain... vibe... to it that makes your libido go crazy.

You shake it off and proceed to follow her. She leads you through the infinite number of rows of bookshelves into a spot that seems to be at the very heart of the library. There, a large table with dozens of books piled up on it and various light sources (of indeterminate origin) illuminating it is prominently placed. There are several chairs around the table, each one complete with several soft-looking velvety cushions. Man they look like they're comfortable.

Sitting at one such chair at the far end of the table is a bespectacled girl reading a book. She looks completely absorbed in reading the book. She's a real beauty. Her long purple hair and delicate features remind you of the archetype of the quiet librarian. The girl that's with you approaches her and whispers something into her ear. She reacts, gently putting down the book and looking around. She looks at you and sizes you up with her gaze.

“My, my.” She says with a delicate voice. “It's certainly been quite a busy day. First that girl shows up here asking for advice now the object of inquiry himself appears before me. I assume you're here with Marisa?” She asks and seeing your confused face she continues. “No need to hide it, I recognize that pin.” She points to the crescent pin that's on your clothing. Now that you think about it it's quite similar to the one on the girl's head. “That girl stole a box full of them from me the other day. Really, she sometimes has to learn not to take what belongs to others.”

Just then Marisa contacts you.

<Okay, I see you and the both of them. I'll swoop down and grab you and we'll cheese it. They'll surely unleash hell on us. I'll swoop down in when I see an opening so be prepared.>

You try to reply, but the girl in front of you has gotten up from the chair and continues to talk to you. It seems to be a rather large effort for her to be up and about.

“Tell Marisa to cut out whatever foolish plan she has in place. It would not be beneficial for you to let her carry it out.” She says and coughs slightly, but you can't really see her statement as a threat. No, it seems more like amiable advice. “Anyways I think it will be easier to solve this problem with you here in person.”

She turns around and starts walking towards a bookshelf. You notice that her hands are glowing. Is she casting magic? This could bode poorly for you. Just then you realize that this might interpreted as an opening by Marisa. You look around and sure enough you see her black-white figure approaching from a corner of the library fast. This is it. You either go with Marisa, trail blazing, or see what the librarian has for you, be it good or bad.

"This is the only way. I have no regrets"

[x] Tell Marisa to stop

You decide that you want to see what's in store for you. You communicate via the pin.

<Marisa stop!>
<Wha-> You hear Marisa reply.
<Just trust me on this one. I think I can make it out without your help.>

You don't hear her reply for a while. You fear the worst. However your fears are unfounded as she then replies.

<Fine. But first sign of trouble and the fireworks start. I can't be held responsible for your death here.>

You sigh, out of relief. You look at the girl with purple hair and apparently she's gotten two books from the shelves. She turns to you and starts walking with the books in her hand. It looks like the books are too heavy for her to carry, as she is apparently straining herself to bring them to you. She leaves the books on the table in front of you and is now breathing heavily. You can even hear her slightly wheezing, man this girl has got respiratory problems. She takes a few moments to catch her breath and then she starts to speak to you.

“Maybe these books here will help you figure out what you need to do. I can't do much more, since this kind of problem is best only dealt with by the parties involved.” She is now staring at you intently. “In any case, you're quite the special human it would seem. Just make sure to keep yourself in one piece. It'd be a shame to squander all that potential on something foolish.”

She then turns to the girl with red hair.

“Koakuma, make sure our guest here leaves. Escort him to the front gate.” She then remembers and adds something. “Make sure that troublesome witch goes with him.” She then turns to the general direction where Marisa is. “Marisa, for this time only I'm letting you go with no punishment. But next time expect heavy retribution if you try to steal books.”

The girl then goes back to her original seat and resumes reading. She's soon absorbed in her task and it would seem that she doesn't wish any further interaction with the lot of you. You pick up the two books. You take a good look at them. “The Art of War” and “Selected plays of Dario Fo”. How the hell are these supposed to help? And where the fuck did she get Fo from? This was written AFTER the barrier went up. You want to ask the girl, but the other one, Koakuma, urges you to leave.

You put these two books with the other three that Marisa asked you to get and follow Koakuma. The girl silently leads you through the many rows of bookshelves. And before you know it, Marisa is right behind you.

“Nice going there Shirou! I hadn't expected Patchouli to have a soft spot for human males! Maybe I should take you along more often ~ ze.” She says.

You facepalm hard.

“It wasn't about that Marisa, could you stop being so happy-go-lucky?” You ask her.
“Oh lighten up, Emi-yan!” She says laughing. “We got what we came from, and you even got something extra.”

Wait did she just call you 'Emi-yan'? What the hell kind of nickname is that? You are about to ask, when you notice that you're in a large entry hall, in front of an equally large door. Koakuma opens it for you. She seems to struggle for a bit before opening it.

“Go.” She simply says.

You and Marisa look at each other and decide to go through. The door promptly closes behind you. You're in the front of the mansion now, and in order to leave, you have to go through the gates. The two of you head out through the gates. Standing there is the guard clad in green that you saw earlier. She still seems to be napping. Marisa goes up to her and slaps her on the back hard. The guard wakes up with a startle.

“Nice seeing ya!” Marisa says as she passes her. The guard is completely disoriented.
“Huh!" Wha-Who's there? You can't enter the mansion!” She says in a confused frenzy. Taking pity, you talk to her as you pass her.
“I'm sorry but we were just leaving. We already went in.” You say.
“Already went in!" Aiyaa~ Sakuya is going to beat me!” She desperately cries out. She takes off her small green hat and uses it to wipe her now forming tears. She starts sobbing uncontrollably.

Seeing her like this you can't help but feel sorry for her. Before you know it you go up to her and pat her head.

“There, there. It's okay. I'm sure you'll be fine. Shush now and don't cry.” You continue to pat her head and reassure her until she calms down. You stroke her soft long red hair and she seems to get better.

“Th-thank you.” She finally says when she stops crying. “My name is Hong Meiling, what might yours be sir?”
“Emiya Shirou, Miss Meiling. It's a pleasure to meet you.”
“Ah likewise.” She says with little confidence. It would seem that this girl is not used to having others treat her with kindness.
“Emi-yan~ We've got to get going.” Marisa calls out for you. You bid the girl in green farewell.
“Goodbye Miss Meiling!” You say as you get on Marisa's broom.
“G-goodbye Mr. Emiya.” She says while wiping the remnant tears from her face.
“Please call me Shirou!” You yell out as Marisa starts to take off. You watch as both she and the mansion get smaller and smaller in the distance. What a wretched experience she must have working there in order for her to break down like that.

It takes you a short bit to get back to Marisa's. The two of you enter her shop and you hand over her books to her. She puts all of her loot down and turns to you.

“Well done Shirou, now for your reward.” She says and gets uncomfortably close to you. You feel her soft breath on your face. She then goes for your ear and whispers. “Alice enjoys the peace and quiet. There's a spot off the path leading to the lake that's an open field. It'd be a great place for a date.” She backs off. “Also have some of this.” She hands you a bottle. “It's some of that liquor we drank the other night. This should get the mood going.”

You wordlessly accept the reward. You weren't expecting much in the way of reward, but this is kinda embarrassing. Why does Marisa assume that the two of you are going out?

“Well then Emi-yan. As an added bonus for your good performance, I'll give you a ride to wherever you're going. Just say the word and I'll take you.”

You think about it. It's probably around midday now. There's plenty of time to do a lot of things. You could go to the human village and drink to your exploits, or alternatively read your books in a cafe. Or you could go back to Eientei and hang out with someone. You can't imagine that they'd be busy now. Around here, you could go to the Hakurei Shrine, or Kourindou. You could go to Alice's, but you feel that it'd be awkward since she'd know where you've been due to the books you're carrying. In any case, it'd be best to go to any of those places on foot. Oh, this is interesting. You could always ask Marisa to take you somewhere special and interesting. The choice is ultimately up to you.

“Marisa, thanks for your offer, but I'm good.” You say. “I'll be walking around here for a bit.”
“You sure?” She asks. “There's not much for you to do around here ~ze.” And then she adds with a smirk. “Unless you plan on visiting a certain someone.”
“Heh. Maybe I am, Maybe I'm not.” You reply, trying to shrug her off.

You bid her farewell and leave her shop.

Well then, you're on the path in front of Marisa's. Where in the forest do you want to go?

Well, we have two things to worry about here. We have idiots who think that going after Alice right now is smart, and then we have people who want to get back with the NEET and thus crushing Alice points is a good thing to do. So therefore, we have two camps working against us on this one.

Hopefully some people smarten up and we can avoid this travesty.

There's only one place that you can think of going to now. You go down the path quickly, making haste to get to Alice's fast. You pass by the same sign as before, but the grafitti has been scribbled out and it instead reads:

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”

Weird. But you ignore it and keep going to Alice's place. You ignore the bulky books slowing you down, and speed through the usual path.

You reach Alice's house and knock on her door. You anxiously try to calm yourself down. You're slightly out of breath from running and you're sure that you're sweating slightly. You hear movement from within. It would seem that Alice is back in. You await excitedly as you prepare yourself to see her.

A few moments later Alice opens the door. She's wearing her usual dress and is holding a book of sorts in her hand. The book is bound by a locking mechanism. Shanghai and Hourai are nowhere to be seen. Her expression clouds up upon seeing that it's you. You can't tell if it's sadness, anger, or what. You try to speak to her.

“Hey Alice. I just wanted to see you.” You say.

“...” There's no reply from her. You try to talk to her again.

“Alice? I felt like popping by and spending some time together.” You try to say with a smile on your face. You wait and see if Alice will reply.

“...go away.” You hear her finally reply.
“What? I didn't quite get that...” You say confused.
“I SAID TO GO AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!” Alice screams out. You are taken aback by her sudden outburst and almost trip backwards. Alice is now silent again with her face looking down. Is she...."Crying? You can't really tell what's going through her mind right now.

You're absolutely confused. You don't know how to deal with a situation like this. Your first instinct is to try to embrace her and calm her down, but you honestly don't know if that's the best option right now. You try to think of what to do but your mind is blank. This sucks. It hurts you so but you can't decide between leaving and trying to comfort her. If only you knew what you'd be comforting her about. Crap. Why do you have to be so dense when it comes to girls? You can't for the life of you figure them out. It would seem that either choice might end up hurting her, or yourself. This is a bad situation. You look at Alice again. She's just standing there, face turned downwards, with a pitiful expression and is mumbling something to herself.

You just can't help yourself. You get closer to Alice and embrace her. You do as you did last time she was upset. The results this time, however, are different. You gasp out in shock as you feel an intense pain in your abdomen. You look down. There's a decent sized hole where one of your kidneys once was. You see a smoking trail from the gaping hole to Alice's book. You look at her in shock as you connect the dots. She looks to be stunned herself, as if not comprehending what just happened. You try to say something.

“..'m...sorry.” Is all you hear Alice say in a small voice. She grasps her head with her and falls into a fetal position. She keeps rocking back and forth while you, still stunned from the blast, react in horror.

Blood starts gushing out. Alice's blast didn't automatically cauterize the wound. You start losing your strength.

NO! You try to fight it. Stumbling and grasping at your wound, you try to leave the house to seek help. You've got to find someone, anyone! You think of Marisa. She could take you back to Eientei and Eirin patch you up. You can still make it! You are a pathetic sight as you continuously trip over yourself trying to get somewhere. Before you know it, you've left the path and are somewhere in the woods. You look around you. Realizing that you're nowhere near your intended target, you finally give up. You collapse on the forest floor. You reach for the jar of pills that Eirin gave you in a last-ditch attempt to do something, anything. You take a couple of pills and pass out.

....

....

Rain?

You feel something dripping on your face. But it can't be rain, it's too warm and viscous for it to be rain. You don't feel any pain. In fact, you can't feel much of anything. You feel only slight tingling sensations throughout your body. Maybe the medicine worked? You certainly feel dangerously optimistic.

You slowly open your eyes.

You can't believe the sight before you. All around you, as far as you can see, there are vines. You look at your own body, you're absolutely covered by them as well. Just where the hell is this? You look at them carefully and then notice something. These aren't vines! They're tentacles! And they're moving all about you.

You look at the source of the wet feeling that you felt earlier. To your horror, you see a penis-shaped tentacle exuding a thick cream-colored liquid. Ewww. It's even got 'veins' running up and down the 'shaft'. You try to move and struggle against your leafy prison. As if that were some sort of signal, all of the tentacles around you start moving frantically and you're manipulated at will by them. They start to pin down your arms, incapacitating you. Most of your remaining clothes are torn off, and you watch in horror as the tentacles start probing every single part of your body. You scream out. The tentacles seem to react to your scream and move even faster.

And then the most disgusting part starts. The tentacle above you forcefully bores itself into your mouth. You have no option but to take it all in, as the other plants squeeze your abdomen, forcing you to take a deep breath. This is the most disgusting thing you're ever experienced. The slimy feeling from the tentacle is sickening, and you feel like you want to hurl. As if things couldn't get any worse, you see tentacles approaching your lower regions.

FUCK NO! You try to scream out, but the tentacle in your mouth prevents you from doing so. The tentacles start probing down there. Two of the tentacles grab your penis and start squeezing hard. At this rate, they'll completely crush it. However, you soon forget that thought as you feel another tentacle make its way to your ass. Although you can barely feel any pain from your wound, you can almost perfectly feel the disgustingly warm feel of the slimy tentacle against your anus.

The tentacle seems to probe for a moment more and then it proceeds. It penetrates your asshole in an instant. The pain is immense. The feeling of that long hard tentacle in your ass is one of extreme displeasure, as it entered unlubed and roughly. You try to struggle in vain to free yourself. However, your thrashing about has no effect, as the tentacles wrap even tighter around you and some of them even go as far as probing your wound. Oh god the pain is unmanageable. It just hurts all over. You can't help but think that this would feel even worse if you hadn't taken those drugs.

The tentacles continue to have their way with you. You are violated repeatedly for over an hour, in a seemingly endless spectacle. In all of your pain and suffering, you haven't noticed that the tentacles have been moving you ever so slightly. As you gag from the tentacles in your mouth, you see that you're near what seems to be the main body. It's a horrible creature. A huge malboro-like plant with endless numbers of tentacles stemming from it. A large gaping void lies in the middle, which you assume is the mouth. You can't help but feel horror as you realize that you're inching ever closer to it.

There's nothing you can do. You try to make peace with the world. Even as the plants ravage your body, exploring every single one of your orifices, you try to think of the happy times you had. It was but a transient moment, but even in your last moments, you don't regret your stay in Gensokyo. It was like the manor was an illusion, surrounded by that seemingly infinite bamboo forest. You think about a few words that reminded you of your situation. If this all was a dream, then please let it continue anew in another dream. You'd love to get another chance to fix your mistakes and set things straight. Finally, you pass out from the massive shock and blood loss that you had been experiencing.

If you had known what your fate awaited you, you might have even called this fortunate. As the plant took you in whole, it took a long time to digest you. Indeed, the plant would squirm in gratification for many a month as it worked with your rotting carcass. Every time it broke down another piece of you, its tentacles would shake, as if it was enjoying it. And thus, after the end of many months, did the whole of your being disappear without a trace. Nobody knew what happened to you, even Alice tried to substitute the events that transpired with a more comforting reality. And so, you became a source of mystery and debate amongst the locals, and for many years afterwards, would the people of Gensokyo falsely believe that they had spotted you somewhere, living off the land. Than of course was an outright falsity. You were no longer alive, and were now a part of the land.

BAD END

“Hello there! I'm Miko!

I was told to fill in this spot because everyone else is too disappointed with you. I'm not however!

I have experience dealing with tentacle creatures and know that they're really nasty. They'll try to do all sorts of things to you if you're not careful! Even for a ninja such as I it proved difficult to deal with them at times. They're icky, slimy, and unsatiable.

Anyways, this whole situation has little to do with the tentacles. It has more to do with how you deal with girls. I know you're not very experienced, but please don't rush girls! This goes for everyone! Despite our attitudes, we are all insecure on the inside. Even though you might try to make us feel better, there are times that only time can help us. Just like all humans, a little breather is good for us girls at times! Let this be a lesson not only for Alice but for all future enocunters. You've only known these people, with the exception of one, for two weeks tops, in some cases less than a week! Don't rush things!

Well then, I've said my piece. How I wish I could've had a normal life, with a boy that liked me sweeping me off my feet. Instead all that I got were tentacles! And kunoichi. Can't they give a gal a break?”

[X] Ask Marisa to take you somewhere special

You've got it. You'll ask Marisa to take you somewhere special.

“Say, Marisa?” You start to ask her.
“Yeah?” She replies nonchalantly.
“Do you know anywhere well... special that you could take me to?”
“Special ze~?” She starts to think about it. “Well there's THAT place, but it's no place for mere mortals like us. The flowers *are* quite beautiful however.” She thinks a bit more. “Nonono, bad idea.” She concludes.
“Can't think of a place?” You ask her.
“Yeah, but it's okay. I'll take you instead to one of my favorite spots. Is that fine with you?”
“Sure, why not?” You casually reply.

Marisa gets a bundle from a corner of her shop.

“Well then, let's go.” She says and leads you outside.

The two of you get on her broom and you take off. You wonder where you're going as you easily clear the Forest of Magic in no time. The landscape below flies by at an incredible speed. You soon are past the human village and the lake. Hmm, it looks like this place is quite far from everything. You notice that below you is forest. Pretty normal-looking forest in fact. Nothing like the eerie glow that comes from the Forest of Magic is present here. The two of you start to slow down near a clearing on an elevated part of the terrain by a stream. Finally, you land in the clearing and you get off. Marisa smiles at you and asks you to follow her. The two of you climb a bit until you reach the wooded area.

“Turn around.” Marisa simply says.

You comply. Turning around you see what is special about this place. You've got a prime view of a lot of Gensokyo. To your left is Youkai Mountain. Quite a bit from its base is the bamboo forest and by extension Eietnei. To the right of that you can see the human village. And from here you can barely see the trees that denominate the Forest of Magic. The lake is in the center of your view, and you can't see the place where the mansion is due to a fog that's present. Further to your right are quite a few sights that you don't recognize, including more settlements and forest.

“I like to come around here to relax.” Marisa says.
“I can see why.” You reply. “It's a nice place to be.”
“Yeah. And you know what's even better?” She asks.
“No, tell me?”
“Drinking booze and having lunch while admiring the view!” She enthusiastically replies. God Marisa, you're quite the alcoholic, aren't you? Or is this part of your free spirit?

She takes out the bundle that she took with her. She opens it and there's a few pieces of bread and some fruit in there. She takes out a bottle of booze from her clothes. How the hell does she keep doing that? You couldn't feel anything as you held her while you flew. You snap back to reality as she opens the bottle and hands it to you.

“Come on! Same as last time, we'll pass the bottle around.” She says.

Not wishing to disappoint, you drink. Wow, it's really delicious. It's a cider-like drink, but you don't know if it's apple of some sort of variant. You hand the bottle back to Marisa and she drinks as well. She hands you a piece of bread and takes one for herself. The two of you begin to eat while staring out at the view.

Soon enough, the two of you start talking. Marisa starts giving you more pointers on magic. She tells you how to focus and control your energies. She says it's all about one's attitude. Then she starts to talk about herself. How she chose the way of the magician so she could live free and not to have to depend on anyone. Then the conversation turns back to the subject of casting spells. She explains some more while you happily sip from the shared bottle.

“...and then you simply release all that you have. It should fry anything in your path.” Marisa concludes. “So tell me Shirou, what brought you to come close to Alice?”
“Oh come on.” You say. “Her and I are hardly close. But if I had to say that it was the dolls. I have never seen such finely sculpted and dressed dolls before. And before I knew it I had engaged Alice in conversation and I found that we had a lot in common. It's just one of those things I guess.”
“Ehhhh~ It sounds like me that you're completely head over heels for her.” Marisa says.

You stay silent. You don't know how you feel about Alice. Sure, you care about her. But you don't know how. If it's romantic or not. Last time you hugged her, it was because she happened to remind you of yourself too much. Isn't that a selfish narcissistic love then? Falling in love with someone because they remind you of yourself? No, there's more to it, but you can't put your thoughts into words. You think about the girls at Eientei. You haven't established your feeling for them either. You don't hate any of them, despite shortcomings, but do you like any of them. Yes. You do. But how about love? You can't answer that again. You just know that there's an attraction that you can't quite explain. It's different with Aya yet it's similar as well. Man, you're confused. The miko and her soft side come into mind as well, as well as your feelings towards the girl next to you. You can't help but feel that you really like certain qualities found in her.

“I was just kidding! No need to serious up and drift into thought like that!” Marisa exclaims as she sees your perturbed expression.
“Ahaha, I'm sorry. I just started thinking about things.” You reply.
“Anyways, those are strange books that you got from Patchy.” She adds.
You look at the books that you've been carrying around.
“Oh these?” You say. “Yeah, I don't know what to make of them. She said that they'd help me with my problem, but I don't know what she meant.”
“Never mind her.” Marisa says. “She's too caught up in the world of books to know the first thing about human interaction ~ze.”
“Heh. Maybe.” You answer her statement.

The two of you continue to drink for a while more, silently observing the scenery after that exchange.

“So... Reimu mentioned you to me after the festival.” Marisa says out of the blue.
“Reimu?”
“Yup. You sure get around, don't you? I thought it was all about the hat, but it would seem that that's not it ~ze.”

All about the hat? Is she talking about herself? How would that make sense? Is she claiming to be able to win over the hearts of people just like that?

“Well, I'm sure it was just in passing and to say that I was the one that invited her.” You say.
“Something like that... but there was more... about something that happened between you? I can't remember since I was pretty drunk.”

Well you're pretty drunk now. You think, but you keep to yourself. Marisa badgers you for a bit more before laying back for a bit. Well, at least she's quiet now. You take a look at her. She's sleeping! How the hell did she fall asleep so fast? You shake her to try to wake her.

“Let me sleep ~ze. I'll only be out for a little bit.” She simply says, and stretches out. But instead of lying back on the grass, she puts her head on you. She's lying with her head on your lap. Geez, this girl does whatever the hell she wants to whenever she wants to, doesn't she? You decide that it's useless to fight it and accept it. You look at her peaceful face. She's got a really cute expression when she's asleep. In fact, she's pretty cute in general. That single braid of hers suits her personality perfectly. As if it were a warning for her rambunctious nature. You softly stroke her blond hair, as if she were a cat that had found her way to your lap and she even emits a soft purr-like sound. Heh, you think that this side of her isn't too bad either, and lean back yourself. You close your eyes and before you know it you've fallen asleep.

A little while later, you wake up. The sky is still the same, and you think that you've only been out for a half an hour or so. You look around and notice that Marisa's head isn't on your lap anymore. You get up to look for her. You nary take a step, when you see her by the stream, drinking some water and splashing some on her head. You go down to her.

“Feels good?” You ask her.
“Yeah, nothing like cool refreshing water after a nice nap under the sun.” She replies.

You bend down and take some of the water in your hands. It's both cool and clear. You drink the cool clear liquid. It tastes heavenly. No bottled water can compare to this natural bonanza. You follow Marisa's lead and splash your head with some water. It refreshes your very soul. Man this is great. The two of you then return to your previous spot.

“Wanna go?” Marisa asks simply.
“Sure.” You reply in an equally simple manner.

You get your things and get on Marisa's broom. The two of you start to fly through the air. You fly by quickly a lot of the scenery, before approaching the village.

“Say, Shirou...” Marisa begins to say. “I've got things to do, so I'll be dropping you in the village outside the bamboo forest. I'll catch you some other time.”

And after saying so she sets down on the village outskirts. Waving goodbye, she speeds off through the sky. Man, what a happy-go-lucky girl.

Well then, you've been left in the human village. It's still early afternoon and most people have just finished having lunch. There's a bunch of things that you can do here at the village, from browsing the local shops, to visiting Keine. You feel that you should take a look around, maybe sit at a cafe or go shopping, in order to clear your head and relax. Who knows if you find an interesting item for sale that you can give to someone on sale? You could always read your books at a cafe as well. Since you've got time you could probably do one thing first and then another and make it back to Eientei before nightfall with no problems.

The booze god requires another offering.

I'm a consumer whore!

Do we even have any money? I don't remember. Either way, it can't hurt to kill some time.

these all have random encounter potential

3,000 yen.
Also I'm thinking of stopping for now. Will resume in a couple of hours. Vote away people.

[x] Go to a cafe

Scan through the books.

If money is a problem, why not whore ourselves?
We've already shown a willingness to put our life on the line for the empty promise of free booze. Surely we would throw away what little shreds of dignity and self-respect we might have left in our hot-glue-shooting selves for some cash.

[X] Go to a cafe

Shame we don't have a laptop. We could sit around all day sipping coffee and pretending to be writing a novel.

[x] Go see Keine
But no drinking this time.

>>But no drinking this time.

Quite right. Drinking is done.
The challenge now is to get her to let us use her ass as a pillow while we're both SOBER.

[x] Go see Keine

Those pills we got from Eirin might not necessarily have to be just for us you know.

I like this way of thinking

I wonder if Alice saw that scene with Marisa, well she will probably lock us in her basement and make us love her.
