And it's now 1 november since 20 minutes in my timezone. So let's start!

Press on the red/blue part of the image to make it bigger, yada yada.

We've used this format once already. I'm sure you can guess what to do.

Slacking off it is, as for suspicion. You may be right.

>>2567

??? I'm sure she's wearing the same clothes as usual though?

Oh well, here's your update.

I don't know what you're talking about my good anon.

Her clothes look the same to me still.

Sike, I do know what you're talking about.

I just felt whimsical at the time, but now realized that playing dumb about that would be having fun at YOUR expense which would be kind of a jerk move. So, sorry if that offended you.

Anyway here's the update.

Imagine one of those 'X breaks into your house' videos as the vibe for this, as the person is banging hard and will definitely break in eventually.

One of my weakest images still.

The rest definitely are way better.

Aw, can't believe you called my bluff. That or you really wanted to get a bad end.

That's a lie, here's your bad ending.

Of course, you'd be way more competent in any other meduim.
But this is an bad end collecthon, so congrats for your first one!

That said, if a page doesn't have a number. It just means the game reached an ending.

Also, yes. We'll be fully indulging in 'Pick up a snake and use it as a makeshift rope' types of puzzles a la good old nonsense adventure games from, like 30 years ago? Like that.

Anyway make your choice again now.

Aye, then with your wishes fulfilled.

Here's some noise: https://youtu.be/J_bmsjLI1ZQ

Keep in mind that the silly visuals in no way, imply that's what's actually happening for real.

I just like to be goofy.

Also here's what's playing during this moment: https://youtu.be/0KqffiEc3zk

Noted, but also I have to admit an OOPSIE.

I forgot this image, during the like nemesis spoof.

See, during the nemesis entrance. The music starts playing, the angles change and the colour even flashes. Without this one, the experience ain't 100%!!!!

F, oh and just to clarify. This is right after the CRASH moment.

If I had any animating skills, I'd have added a gif of Marisa jumping into said door.

I do not have those skills, either way you're probably safe now.

To be speficic, you can trade an item for another item here.

Afterwards you'll be send to the many door and door place.

Woops, procrastination striked again!

I realized a Steal Everything % should totally be a viable run.

Hence now you have the option to Rob mike if you want.

I hoped you would say that.

So it's robbering time.

And we're back here.

The image is totally not recycled, but believe me I would not go back the same way you just went to.

Also yes, you've got all the items now. Not the kiosk tho, I've got no real idea how to even make that useful. But you can imagine it's the reason you can hold all the items with ease now.

So now I'll wait for y'all to vote again, even if I can tell a preference for a certain direction already.

Eh, to answer that. No law or rule of physics will stop you from putting stuff in your inventory. As for the kiosk? Fine it's an actual item too now.

Ignore the ribbon on the head tho, that's not actually here.

And there ya go. I'm not putting flavour text on items but for the adventure, they'll simply open options you wouldn't have otherwise. Tho some could be useluss.

Look at the funny monkey, surely this will give someone the desire to break this tie. No man or woman can resist funny monkey hi hi ha has.

Joke aside, I guess I'll do the good old Two Face-Coin toss tmrw if it's still there. Just means I got extra time to myself and eh, every image just makes me one step closer to the 30th post limit that has to be reached.

Ooh, what VN are you talking about?

Also all votes counted, also yeah, Youmu isn't going to go down without a fight if you try to blatantly rob her. If that spoils the fact she has a bad ending, then eh, it's that kind of adventure.

Well, this. It's an iconic situation isn't it?

And it's choice time, do you help out, do you not help out.

Or do you ask her why the heck she won't do this herself?

The image is a bit cropped isn't it? Eh, lampshading it doesn't make it better but I'll have you know there will be plenty better ones.

>>2701

Maybe, maybe not. Thanks for the comment on the cat tho, that's pretty nice to call on.

Anyway here's the update again.

Here we go.

Don't mind any grammar mistakes, me first langauge ain't english govna.

The joke is that the 2nd image is just a stock one

Anyway, there's a limit to how much you can bumble around somewhere.

So let's make a conclusive decision once and for all.

Damn this procrastination curse, I'm not going to let it turn me into a writer that 'frequently abandons stories' as long as I can help it.

I'll finish this little side project before going back to the other stalled ones and nothing short of real life death can stop me from doing so!

That aside, you can use an item here. Since you can see them in a menu.
Cuz that's the way to communicate you can use it here, just so you know.

Now what could this mean?

Update comes again later today.

Cat-Gun.

Nothing more needs to be said.

Well,other than the fact this counts as one of those 'steal from a shopkeeper, see what happens' moments that's seen in adventures. So that's a nice extra ding ding!

Test, test, does this still work?

Testing cause it's been a while and I may have forgotten the code.

Ah, looks like it does!

That said, hey I'm back I guess?
The real life grind got me super occupied for a while, but now I've got it all in order again.
Hence me coming back with this fun hobby, sorry for not having bothered to even give a message about stalling or saying that this is dead. In hindsight that would have been a courtesy.

I hope I can make up for it by giving you all more fun content instead, so uh take my bribe of at least one update per week at the minimun. And that my other stories will be updated soon as well.

Again sorry.

Sorry, sorry. Looks like I got distracted again.

I really don't know why that is nowadays, but one moment I'm all 2hu and the next I don't want to write anything so I put things off and suddenly a lot of time has passed!

Anyway, yeah. This is still going on, just at the pace of a turtle. I won't promise a weekly update or anything like that, just that this and all the other stories WILL end one day.

Also I'm starting to wonder...

Would it be better to just put the choices on text? Like in this box here? The only reason it's in the images is cause it nicely fits in empty space and barely passes as a sort of AESTHETIC yknow? I'll take silence as an indifference to it.

=================> Turn around and listen to what they have to say.

What a great and considerate decision you’ve made! Clearly you are one that respects their elders!

Speaking of elders, the two before you are inviting you to have a lovely conversation in a more private location, one where there’s no risk of shrine maidens or anything else interrupting it.

Don’t worry, it’s not suspicious at all. Look at their kind smiles and be set at ease that you’ll also be offered tea and cookies or even sake if that’s what you like to consume early in the morning.

They clearly do not posses an ulterior motive for this, this does not remind you of the way people treat wild animals, all treats and soft words before the truth comes out once you walk in the cage.

And even if they do have one. It would most likely involve a side quest or whatever, right? Right.

[ ] Accept their offer, into the gap you go! (Proper, polite, kind.)

[ ] Demand they tell you what they want right here and right now. (RUDE, IMPOLITE!)

[ ] Oh, is that a door? What a convenient emergency exit! In you go! (Cowardly)

There you go, changed the choice format as advised before.

===> [ X ] Accept their offer, into the gap you go! (Proper, polite, kind.)

“As you can see in this fine-tuned, graph. The increase in aggressiveness amongst the Neko population is directly proportional to the ‘France 1789 role playing’ that’s currently happening inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The consequence of these events alongside your latest harmless prank towards the Hakurei have resulted in her senses to demand your impromptu clobbering.”

You have no idea what the Gap Youkai is talking about and feel like she’s talking in such an oblique way for exactly that purpose. Still, the cookies and tea that were promised are quite the delicacy.

“What she’s saying is,” The princess of the Netherworld --the one that took every single cookie except the one you still have-- is more than happy to make it simpler. “Someone is causing trouble in the SDM, this trouble is starting to affect the outside as well. Which is where you come in.”

“Seeing how you’re already familiar with the place and are already planning to go there.” Yukari continues, her tone implying mischief and knowledge to your actions. “Why don’t you do us a favour and find out who or what is causing this trouble and make it a whole lot worse?”

“A whole lot worse?” you can’t help but question mid-bite, disinterestedly at that.

“It’s fun to watch and there’s nothing better to do today.” Yuyuko confesses, admitting that whatever is happening. The two hags see it as nothing more than a fun distraction.

“Also Reimu won’t stop chasing you until it’s over anyway. It’s almost endearing how she’s willing to spend more effort in an attempt to avoid exactly that. That and well, you know what you did.” Yukari pushes up the fake glasses she has on, as if to appear smart as they gleam a white light.

“So what will it be Marisa? Will you go ahead and amuse these o-”

“Young.”

“-these young ladies? We’ll make it worth your while~”

Hmm, what will you get out of this though? How will they make it worth?

“Well, what do you want?” Yukari asks, then both ladies look at you with expectation.

[ ] “I want….” (Insert what you want, anon.)

[ ] “Nothing, Gensokyo’s number 2 solves every incident, no matter the bribe!”

Here’s an open ended option for once, reactions to which I’ve already got written. Anyway if someone actually chooses option B, then I’d laugh in disbelief.
