Of course, you're going to check your computer.
Sitting down, you turn the screen on and are greeted with the computer's screensaver. odd, wouldn't it have gone to sleep by now? It's been a couple of days.
You move the mouse a little to return to Windows. Everything appears to be just as you'd left it, MSN message window with NEET and Yukari, both of whom are currently offline; Opera minimized; and mIRC currently not connected to any IRC server.
...That's rather unhelpful. If neither NEET nor Yukari are online, that means there isn't anyone to help you get back to Gensokyo.
Oh well, might as well find a way to pass the time. Maybe something new's happened on the internet.
You alt-tab to Opera and check which tabs you have open. Just the webpage you host from an old Pentium 3 box using DynDNS for a hostname, and the similarly hosted webpage of a friend.
An MSN window pops up.
[06:24] NEET: Wait, why are you online? Aren't you in one of Eirin's patient rooms recovering from treatment? I don't remember leaving a computer in any of those rooms.
[06:24] > Well, when I woke up I was in my own bed again.
[06:25] NEET: ...
[06:25] NEET: Shit. I KNEW Tewi didn't do enough to prevent break-ins. I'm going to have a word with her.
[06:26] NEET: Well, while Inaba's being sent out to have Yukari bring you back again, you can work on getting that truck.
[06:26] NEET: But before that, Eirin said something about a bunch of your memories being blocked by something. Click this link:
http://www.pooshlmer.com/wiki/index.php/Kaguya_Houraisan You click the link and it opens in a new tab in Opera, as expected. It takes a couple seconds to load.
Near the top of the page, there is a picture of Kaguya and some general information on her.
You continue reading through the page, and the whole time get a sense of deja-vu. Like you've seen this page many times before, and read what it says, but can't remember it at all. Like something's blocking your memory.
About halfway through the page, suddenly memories flood your mind in storms, causing an intense migraine. Holy shit, how did you forget all of this? The Touhou games were the only games you really played much of, so forgetting all of this information makes absolutely no sense. How did you forget all of this?
The pain in your head is so intense that you decide the best method of getting rid of it is to lay down and take a nap. You lay yourself back down on your bed.
Argh, the headache's still there. At least now it's just a dull throb instead of splitting pain. You can cure this with a couple of aspirins. Luckily you still have that bottle of Excedrin you always keep around because of the migraines you occasionally get. Unscrewin the lid from one of them, you pour two of them out in your hand and swallow them without water.
You sit and wait for the pills to kick in. Slowly they do, and your migraine becomes weak enough that you can stand light.
Well, Kaguya wanted you to work on getting that truck. Since you already own it, it shouldn't be too hard to get ahold of.
Opening your door, your eyes are assaulted by the bright light from the morning sun. The slight remaining bit of your migraine hurts for a bit until your eyes have adjusted.
Looking down upon the apartment's parking lot, you notice a distinct lack of a truck.
"FUUUUUUUUUCK." you half-shout, not wanting to bother your migraine any more. Yukari must have taken it when... Right. You're going to have to beg her to give it back, definitely.
Since there's not much more to do, you return to sitting at your computer. You give the mouse a slight shake to kill the screensaver.
A somewhat loud beep splits your eardrums. Or, it feels like a loud beep, becuase of the migraine. You recognize the beep as coming from Trillian.
Switching back to your MSN window, you find that Kaguya has sent you a message.
[10:23] NEET: Ah, you're awake. I was beginning to think something happened to you.
Yeah, something did happen to you. And it's her fault. But you refrain from telling her off for causing your migraine, since she' your only hope of getting back in Gensokyo.
[10:23] > I had a headache, so I decided to take a nap.
[10:24] NEET: Oh, I see. Well, Inaba came back and told me that Yukari's too busy to come get you now. So, you're going to have to wait, or else find some other way into Gensokyo.
[10:24] > I see.
[10:24] NEET: Well, I'm logging off. See you whenever you get back in Gensokyo. And have a truck ready! Bye.

Well, now you've got an unknown amount of time on your hands, and you've got to figure out what to do with it.
