I wanted to wait for a more appropriate time to post this, but fuck it.

This turned out better than I expected, though it looks fucking weird mostly because I stared at the original for however many hours this took. Probably two.

Still a shitty shop.

I really hope we aren't mistaking long hair/chains for a tail.

Caution. That’s the key point in this. Moving slowly you creep up towards the house. As you get closer, you see a few boxes that you didn’t notice before. You might be able to climb up them and get a look in the window that‘s above them. You make a note of that for later. The house looms closer and closer. Standing at the bottom of the steps, you have several options before you.

[ ] Knock on the door.
[ ] Look in the window.
[ ] Flee back to the woods.
[ ] Check underneath the house.

Also, I would think it would be highly advisable to be as quiet as possible.
If Ran could hear Mokou and Sanae coming in for an ambush, I would think a wolf tengu's hearing would be just as sharp.

Something about this scene reminds me of one of the early scenes in FMA...

Underneath the house, you see one thing, and one thing alone. Dark, and lots of it. You get down on your knees and crawl underneath the house for some reason. Feeling around in the darkness your hand stumbles across something. It seems to be made of metal or something. You can’t quite make out what it is. but, before you can figure it out, someone rushes out of the house and onto the porch. You freeze. They didn’t sound like they were coming out to happily greet someone, they charged out there, like they were afraid of being found. You don’t move an inch, afraid that if they heard you sneak underneath the house, they’d hear you moving again. Somewhere in the distance, a crow caws lazily.

[ ] Pull on the metal object.
[ ] Stay silent, Don’t move.
[ ] Crawl further under the house.
[ ] Crawl out from underneath the house.

[X] Stay silent, Don’t move.

I'm guessing a trap door.

The house isn't going to fall on us right?

[x] Pull on the metal object.

[x] Stay silent, Don’t move.

Best to just come out and explain now.

[ ] Pull on the metal object.
I'm a born lever-puller.

[X] Stay silent, Don’t move.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T LET RUMIA CRY

Momiji has a secret? could it be a hidden shrine to Aya?

[X] Stay silent, Don’t move.
Err to the side of caution for now.

[X] Crawl out from underneath the house.

Stupid Anon, doing strange things again...

[ ] Stay silent, Don’t move.

Time to pull some Metal Gear sh--no, wait, Metal Gear was pretty gun-friendly.

Splinter Cell shit? Close, but no.

Siren shit, maybe.

[ ] Stay Silent.

[ ] Crawl out from underneath the house.
They can't be hiding from our group

Should have hid in a box.

The dog has big ears, now that's she's listening for you, she can hear you whether you move or not.

[ ] Stay silent, Don’t move.

>>22035
>...they charged out there, like they were afraid of being found.

You freeze in place. The person calls out. “Is anyone there? Hello?” You don’t dare move, you hold your breath, you don’t even think. You have no idea what this person can or cannot hear, can or cannot see. Your lungs scream for air, but you still do not breath. The person walks back and forth on the porch a couple of times muttering to themselves, mainly about hearing things. They return to the interior of the house, and you finally let your breath out, and inhale deeply. You feel slightly light headed, and your heart is racing. Your eyes have adjusted to the darkness, and you can see now that the metal object that your hand came across is a pipe, which is connected to the house. You didn’t know they had plumbing in Gensokyo. This really makes you wonder who’s house this might be. Crawling out from underneath the porch, you see Tewi on the edge of the woods. She seems to be waving at you to come back. While it doesn’t seem frantic, it does seem somewhat hurried. You wonder what the rush is.

[ ] Go back to Tewi
[ ] Knock on the Door.
[ ] Climb the boxes and look in the window.
[ ] Hide under the house again.

>>22054

She may be old, but she's still a bunny, I'm guessing her age compensates enough so she probably has the intelligence of an average human teenager, which is to say, many times brighter than Anon, here.

Throughout this entire sequence of events, I had "Precipice" from the BSG ost playing. Seemed appropriate.

[ ] Go back to Tewi

[ ] Go back to Tewi

[X] Go back to Tewi
She beckons us.

[X] Go back to Tewi.

I still want to try and contact Momizi, but you don't ignore Tewi. She knows shit.

...wait, why did WE have to go up to the house, again?

Couldn't Wriggle have sent a couple bugs to do recon for us?

The field somehow seems to be much wider, now that you’re trying to cross it back to Tewi. Her waving quickly goes from hurried to frantic. You pick up your pace and begin running across the field. However, it’s not fast enough. In an instant, there’s someone in front of you. You didn’t even see where they came from. There’s a large gust of wind and you find yourself on your butt, a leaf shaped fan in your face.
“And who might you be, to be sneaking around my house like this? Hmmm. . . Don’t I recognize you from somewhere. . .?”
You glance past the girl, and see that Tewi has already vanished into the woods. Damn. Since it seems that Tewi’s not there currently, you’re on your own. Looking up at the girl, who still has her leaf shaped fan pointed directly at your head, she seems lost in thought. She seems distracted, maybe you can escape now.

Ugh when did this happen, I don't even remember. Better go check up on the archive.

>>22084
Yukari gapped it from our hands while we were mucking up negotiations for the box (actually, when we recovered the box).

You manage to stutter out a greeting to the person who currently has a loaded fan pointed directly at your head. She cocks her head to one side.
“Hm? You really do seem famili. . . AH. YOU! WHERE IS MY CAMERA!?”
Uh oh. She seems mad. VERY mad. And here you are with no camera to give. Shit. Well, you might be able to talk your way out of this, but it does seem unlikely. However, fate decides to cut you a break, at least this once. Two tengu ninja appear on either side of Aya and begin whispering things to her.
“Wait wait, what? Slow down. One at a. . . SHE WHAT?! THE GODDESS?!” Whatever the Tengu are telling Aya, it seems to be shocking her. You have at least some idea of what the ninja might be telling her, but you can’t really be sure. She seems distracted. You could possibly escape now, or you could wait and see what happens.

[ ] Escape towards the forest.
[ ] Escape towards the house.
[ ] Wait and see what happens.

I know this is an odd time to ask, considering the situation, but any ideas as to where Rinnosuke stands?

Also I forgot how we ended up with the camera.

Finally found out when we lost the camera. That tiny sentence is easy to miss.

We can explain what has happened in light of recent events. Also, she's the fastest in fucking Gensokyo. She'll catch up.

[X] Wait and see what happens.

>>22086
I told you back in >>21986 that the tengu and Moriya Shrine connection was going to come out of this meeting.

>>22098

I know that, I meant to say, does anyone have an idea as to whether he might still be friendly or not. I'm wondering about this because I'd think his shop may have been ransacked by Reimu.

[x] Interrupt the ninja, and ask what’s going on.
It may be rude, but at least it establishes any form of innocence by pleading ignorance.

[X] Wait and see what happens.

You sit on the ground in silence. That damn fan is STILL pointed directly at your head, what, is it in love with you or something? It’s really starting to annoy you. The ninja seem to be talking in turns now, telling Aya what’s been happening recently. Her mouth just hangs open. You absently wonder if a fly is going to go in, or a dragon going to come out. You laugh at your own wit inwardly. You’ll have to remember that. However, while you were laughing at yourself, the ninja seem to have finished talking to Aya. She nods her head. “Ok I think I get what’s going on.” The two bow to her and disappear. Aya FINALLY takes that damn fan out of your face and offers you a hand. Taking it she pulls you up to your feet.
“So it would seem that explanations are in order. Call your friends if you would, then meet me inside. But be quick about it.” Aya walks over to her house and goes inside, leaving you, seemingly, alone in the field.

So, who's going to help Reisen?

Wriggles manly arms can support it.

I would assume she is being looked after by Sanae and Suwako in our stead. They're the healers, after all.

Sanae's pretty fucked up also though, isn't she?

Last time we checked? Yeah, kinda.
But at least not as badly as poor Mokou was.

Wha... what?

It wasn't... it wasn't that silly, was it?

We... we'll give you something if you don't hurt us.

We've made far sillier and now you decide to do this?

>>22138
why you do dis?

>>22138
Just do it. BAD END. We'll never learn otherwise.

>>22138
So its a trap? Aya wants to deliver us right back to the shinre?
What should we have chosen then

>>22142
Haven't decided yet. I'm writing three sepearate ideas right now. Whichever one seems to be the best is what I'm gonna use.

Trust the tengu ... feh.
Remember that I warned this thread there will be problems.

This Man does not speak for the rest of us. In Fact he does not know what he is talking about

WHAT THE FUCK KIRA!? WE DIE FOR CALLING OUT TO TEWI?????????????"

Although, I may be the only one that saw this.
>leaving you, SEEMINGLY, alone in the field

[X] 3

What? We're just calling out for our friends. It's not our fault they decided that they suddenly had to go and HIDE from some strange reason.


...OH.

>>22150

I noticed that after Kira threatened the bad end.

FUCK

>>22148
I know. He charged the jump option~, which, while stupid was indeed fun. Also, I'm plannign on retconning the Yuyuko bad end into something less. . . Stupid. But still a bad end.

>>21986
>>22101
BUT
>>22014
THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE

I'm kinda confused.
Are the tengu supposed to be our enemy now?

Because if that's the problem here, I don't really see what we could do, no matter what. We've got fucking NINJAS tailing us, for crying out loud.

>>22154
You are writing 3 different paths now, let us choose which one we should pick.

I don't see how any of the other options were better. Go out in the woods and whatever they're hiding from finds you, or follows you to them. Go inside alone and you get the wrath of Aya. And fleeing from the fastest in Gensokyo is just dumb.

>>22157
He'll probably ask us to pick a number for a dice roll in the IRC channel. Like he always does.

>>22158
Well, when has MiG been predictable?

>>22158
Perhaps the stupid decision he mentions was looking under the house?

Just kill us so we can choose another option.

>>22161
That would make a lot more sense.

[X] HOURAI ELIXER

>>22156

Well she is the biggest Gossip in Gensokyo, she probably wouldn't be the best person to hide us.

>>22161
I still have to wonder why, if us going to the house directly was such a bad idea, we couldn't have had Wriggle just send some of her damn bugs to check things out for us?

>>22148
Oh ho, I'm apparently in the presence of experts. A man's vote is a man's vote. Besides, he is going to do it anyways and there are no repercussions to it.

Bring the bad end. I'm curious now.

>>22166
No, I mean we should have knocked rather than going UNDER her house. Knocking isn't suspicious.

>>22166
And if not Wriggle then why not send Tewi, she's gotta be stealthier than us. Why the hell are we pretending to be Solid Snake all of the sudden.

>>22154
Keep it as it is. Just make it a full-blown H scene before she eats us.

>>22167

>You may be surprised at what happens with the next BAD END.

You let loose a piercing whistle. It’s the same one you used to signal Tewi when she was fighting Alice. However, this time, instead of calling Tewi, you seem to have summoned several Tengu Ninjas. They really do seem quite pleased so see you. You just wonder what they’re doing with that sack and that clu. . .

Your senses return to you some time later. You feel like you’re hanging upside down. Not that you can tell with this bag over your head and, for some odd reason, your hands appear to be bound. Huh. Imagine that. . . WAIT A SECOND. You’re hanging upside down, tied by your ankles, after being jumped by tengu Ninja. This can’t be a good situation to be in. You sigh to yourself and strain your ears, trying to hear anything. You’re rewarded with the rhythmic sound of dripping water. Well, that’s comforting. or it would be if it didn’t make you feel like you had to go to the bathroom. With nothing better to do you just hang around, waiting for someone to come, or something to happen. All this blood rushing to your head isn’t exactly pleasant either. You try swinging back and forth and find that you can swing quite easily. However, you don’t know where the walls are in the room, or if swinging would even do you any good. But hey, it’s something to do, right?

[ ] Swing
[ ] Don’t swing.

>>22168
We should have never gone toward the House, it looks like Aya is not on our side in this

>>22169

Anon is dumber than Cirno.

>>22168
Actually, if we're supposidly screwed now, knocking wouldn't have been any better. If Aya was on our side then she'd understand us having a bit of paranoia after all the shit that's happened.

>>22172
Fuck yes Torture Path, lets go swinging
[X] Swing

>>22173
Or, you know, the tengu could be factionally split, with some supporting the goddess, no matter what she did, and some being apalled by what happened. Or, you know, the tengu could all be just one big mass of I hate you. who knows.

[ ] Don’t swing.

Kira is a sick bastard, we may end up swinging our faces into a spike.

Ahh, how nostalgic.
And here I had almost forgotten what it was like the last time Anon did something stupid and wound up captured and imprisoned.

First things first, we need to know what we still have on our person, even if we can't use it.

At least it's not an instant bad end. I guess.

But she didn't know what was happening. If we had knocked, we would have probably brought our whole group with us, and therefore wouldn't have had to whistle for them.

If it ain't got it, then it don't mean a thing.

If this is a dead end, lets just get it over with

Again, how the fuck could we hope to avoid something like this if the tengu have goddamn NINJAS?

If they could track down every individual party member while they were out looking for us last time, there's no way in hell they couldn't track our entire band moving at once.

So, really, how is this completely our fault, again?

The easy swinging makes me think of the pendulum blade torture device. Except now the more we swing the lower we go into the water until we eventually drown.

[X] Don’t swing, feign death.

>>22191
Tewi probably tried to warn us that this was going to happen. We need to read more between the lines of what Kira writes, so we should just have done something else

>>22172

Is dat sum Chinese Water Torture?

Note for the future guys: Next time we find ourselves about to be captured by ninjas, vote to set ourselves on fire.

Ninjas cannot touch you when you are on fire.

[x] Don’t swing.

>>22192
I can imagine something similar, but I won't say what. Screwing ourselves by gradual drowning is much preferable, anyway, and no need to give the man more ideas as it is.

>>22196
Does this not lead to a bad end with us getting judged again? And this time there is no Yukari to time warp us back to save our ass.

>>22198
Yeah, I thought I was Judas.

[X] Swing

Anon should try to right himself.

Good work Anonymous, you dumbass.

Not true, you can always predict one thing about a ninja.

That they will be awesome.
Oh, and that whole "flip out and kill people" thing.

Why would the crow cap us?

I thought the crow was neutral.

Fucking a, everyone's ganging up on us, I hope we're a real threat or ultra powerful menace, for all this to be worth it.

If this were me, after the goddess incident, I would have hot-footed straight up the stairs to the Netherworld with Suwako warning us if we near any barriers, pass by Hakugyokuro quietly, and head right on to Higan. At the very least, Sikieiki would be able to have sorted any confusion we have; I think she's like an oni - can't lie, and all that.

Damn it Anon

>>22210
Maybe we're like those machines in Noien that destroy dimensions just by existing inside them.

"We are both vetriloquists, but now we're upside-down"
"I swing a bit more!"
"I swing a bit less!"
"But we're both swingin'..."

>>22207
Yes, I don't know why it's doing it.

>>22211
I'm not so sure we can trust even the Yama anymore...

Remember our meeting with Yukari and Kanako? Something struck me as a little familiar about something they said...

>>“You were right, He is quite protective of those he considers an ally.”

Flashback to when we meet Shikieiki:

>>"You are quite bold, I'll give you that. You're also fiercely loyal to those you call ally."

Considering she's also the one who decided to send us to Yuyuko, who we KNOW is on Yukari's side, I can't help but wonder if their choice of words isn't mere coincidence...

You continue swinging back and forth, until you suddenly find your self careening through the air. . . Directly into a wall. Head first. GOD that hurts. Your consciousness wanes, but somehow you manage to cling to it, desperately, like a piece of wood in the middle of the ocean. You hear voices now. Your arms and legs are still bound, and there’s still this bag on your head, but now, you’re able to get your hands back in front of you. Somehow, you manage to rip the bag up off of your head. Looking around, you appear to be in a stone cell of some variety. There are some stairs leading up to a nearly solid steel door, the only exception to it being solid is a small window with some bars at about eye level. There isn’t even a handle on the inside. Looking up, you see a hook hanging from the ceiling, which is where you must have been suspended by your ankles. There also appears to be a barred window that leads outside up near that hook. On the floor there’s a barred drain. The dripping water noise seems to be coming from within the drain. You rub your ankles through the ropes. They’re thick heavy ropes, and they seem to have quite a bit of strength behind them. The knots tied holding your arms and legs are of some strange variety of which you’ve never seen the likes of before. You wouldn’t even know where to begin to try and untie them. Looking around the cell, there appears to be nothing of any great use, especially not anything you could use to cut your ropes. The voices outside seem to be arguing over something. They’re not close enough for you to be able to make out the particulars of their conversation, just that it seems like a heated discussion.

Or maybe it's simply that we're a threat only to a select few... who also happen to wield a shitload of power.

I'm going to bed and I've got to mentally prepare myself for waking up to despair.

DAMN IT KIRA

We know water is running down there somewhere, and if the cell is old enough, there's a chance the floor around the grate has worn in just the right places to loosen the grate itself.

Reisen is gonna get pissed off at us again at our outstanding ability to get kidnapped. Also, do we still have the button?

>>22230
Says you, the people who got us probably are arguing over who tortures us first. We should find a way to escape somehow.

>>22237
Or maybe he wanted us to NOT deal with the house at all, and just continue on our merry way, but knowing Anon's borderline-suicidal level of curiosity there was no chance in hell we would do it.

[x] Check inventory.

>>22231
Seconding inventory check.

>>22241
..Which is what we'll be doing by examining both the steps and the drain.

Thirding it.

>>22242
No, he SAID he wanted to get us into the house.

>>22239
Of course, this time we don't have the benefit of an escape plan provided for us with the only thing Anon having to do is figure out how to actually make it work.

The NEET cannot help you this time, Anon.

>>22242
The story would be boring as shit if we just ignored everything we came across. Though, ignoring side stuff does seem to be the best way to survive for some reason.

So what was our mistake then? Did the group of highly trained demon ninjas with super senses really not hear Aya talking to us? Is whistling a cultural taboo around ninjas?

damn, you slow, slow fuck.

>>22247

Oh.

...okay then.

>>22250

Goddamn it, Slowpoke.

>>22247
Well, conventional choices get us in unfortunate situations (i.e. giving the Yukari the box after she gapped us into a chair) while random answers seem to offer beneficial situations (performing the rumba to distract Reimu and using the spell card to distract Yukari and Kanako). I can't entirely blame anonymous for doing something as random as crawling under the house.

...

Why did we look under the house?

>>22258
To hell with the doll, the fuckers had better not taken our NEET in a Box.

>>22261
Don't blame me, I voted knock.

Although ninjas probobly would have arrived as soon as my fist met the door.

>>22260
I can't really fault this logic.

Inventory: Clothing (equipped) 1ea.

...well, this is a fine how-do-you-do.

>>22258
Wasn't the doll already gone last time we checked inventory?

>>22265
Crap.

Wheres my fucking box

Tengu took our Kaguya, fuck, they going to pay for this.

>>22265

...

There will be blood.

>>22260
looking under the house wasn't the trigger for this situation.

>>22265

Considering what we and everyone else in the party went through, I find losing the box so easily like this to sting particularly hard now.

Trace: On

Its OK Anon. Nothing is fucked. Don't panic. Think about your training. Its all lead up to this moment. Now lets focus and CUT THE ROPE WITH OUR MIND!

If this loses major points with reisen I'm raging and not following MiG. . .

You fucked up, Anon. YOU FUCKED UP HARD.

Ok guys, short break, I'm grabbing something to eat really quick, then I'll be back to writing. 15~20 minutes.

>>22276
If looking under the house wasn't the mistake, then I dont think there's any reasonable way we could have seen this one coming.

I almost think I would've preferred the BAD END.

[X] Examine the door.

>>22277
Again.

>>22275
You mean, after all the bad situations we've gotten ourselves into, only to be saved when someone else bails us out in some way, we finally get to prove ourselves as not being completely useless and retarded by escaping under our own power?

Shame the others won't be here to see it, but that might be for the best.
Nothing ruins an escape attempt like alerting the enemy at the last second with a victory cry of "SEE! SEE! I'M NOT COMPLETELY USELESS!"

>>22276
tsun tsun

>>22273
We stood up against Kanako and Yukari and Ran for the Box and now we just lost it like that, time to use our secret power. We need our NEET back.

>>22272
AH! Thank goodness; my notion was that complacency in the face of a person probably allied with an adverse party was the flag for BAD END (as it usually is) is partially vindicated.

>>22276
If we're lucky, we'll find that she slept through the whole thing, and be back by her side in time to hold her hand as she wakes up.

SHE WILL NEVER NEED TO KNOW.

>>22277
Where? Be specific.

If this was Kaiji, Anon would be crying now.

>>22284
Not just us, remember.
Sanae, Reisen, and Mokou all got fucked up pretty badly on our account for it, too.
Most likely Nitori, too.

You know what? Fuck it. Next chance I get I'm going to
1) Smash the camera
2) Smash the NEET-in-a-box
3) Turn myself over to Reimu
4) Blow myself up with the doll (with Reimu)

I see precious little conversation about how we get ourselves out of this mess, only screams of "OH GOD WHAT DID WE DO!?"
Time to actually think about it. Thinking about our mistakes can wait until we've gotten past their results.
Okay, so we're locked in a cell. Where are we? Not many places in Gensokyo seem like they'd hav a cell. We could be in SDM, but with mostly no proof of that we can't plan our moves betting on that. Now, the door. It's solid, made of metal, and has no handle. Doesn't seem like it'll move. We should worry about it when we've exhausted our other possibilities.
Examining the drain is useful because it potentially provides us with a way out, and there might be stuff stuck in it. Examining the stairs may lead to the finding of some small object that may be useful. We examine them first, then if that fails we check the door.
I don't think looking out the window will do much, so that'll be after we have done all the other three options and nothing has happened. This is how I see it. Other anons' opinions?

>>22288
Must think like Akagi.
You can only win if you die

>Time to actually think about it. Thinking about our mistakes can wait until we've gotten past their results.

Not really, we're still waiting for descriptions so it's not like we have anything else to do.

>>22291
We are either:
SDM (Most likely)
Moriya Shrine (could possible be)
Eientei (maybe underground is still intact)
There are not that many places anyway where we could be. Hope is not lost yet, theres always a way out.

>>22275
>>Think about your training. Its all lead up to this moment.

After the end of the battle of the Moriya Shrine, the world was split into two: the reasonable, and the unreasonable unreasonable. This marked the beginning of an era known as the "Anonymous War"

If we just remember what Kira taught us about CQC, we'll be fine: Counter-balance the camera, quick shot, retract...

OH GOD

Tengu battle... jesus christ, tengu battle!

[ ] fake delirium brought on by head trauma

>>22291
If it's a place with a cell, I would imagine there would be one owned by the tengu if we assume they have some sort of stronghold or central base.

With only the clothes on our body, our only hope seems to be to search our cell for anything we can use to escape. Perhaps if our party tracked us, they might try to communicate with us via the window or the drain pipe.

Otherwise, barring there being some similar secret machanisms like the cell in Eientei, we might be genuinely stuck, and thus forced to wait for someone to either LET us out, or some other means of getting out through that door to present itself to us.

Maybe it'll be like in MGS when you take too long to break out of confinement, and the Ninja comes to bail your ass out.

Is it Torture Time yet?

>>22296
I don't think that's going to do too much at the moment, and it's not like someone who hung us up by our ankles with our heads in a bag are going to CARE if we have head trauma.

>>22291
Dude, think a second. You're strategizing how best to look around a room we can't even navigate. >>22293 has a valid point, there's not a whole hell of a lot we can do until Kira graces us with a little more info.

>>22290
Drama never solved anything.

>>22300
What are the chances that this is all an Illusion caused by Reisen again, and we are going to wake up in the Shrine any Minute now.

[ ] School Days

>>22301
I'm not saying to think about what we should do RIGHT NOW, I'm saying to think about the situation so we're prepared for what happens after we make our next move(s).

>>22302
Reisen's still rather out of it and, besides, there'd be no point this time.

You hear that, Kira? THERE'D BE NO POINT. DON'T DO IT. ;_;

>>22302
No, this time it's an illusion brought on by Yukari to show us why we should kindly hand her over the box. Of course, we won't find that out until after we're viciously tortured and then forced to watch as every member of our party is sadistically killed one-by-one, Takano's Super Quiz Fun Time-style.

Remember, Rumia. Broccoli, not cauliflower.

Lets see, so the Tengu, SDM, Kanako, Reimu, Marisa, Alice, and Yukari and her shinigami's are officially against us now. If Yukari's against us then it's a safe bet that her best friend for thousands of years, Yuyuko, is too. Our only ally, Eientei, is probably destroyed. If we continue to live the only thing that awaits is torture and our friends dieing in a vain attempt to rescue us.

...

[X]Bite off our own tongue, bleed to death.

>>22309
SDM too? when'd we lose them?

>>22309
We don't know for certain about the SDM's allegiance just yet.

Remember, Patchouli knew where we were.
Assuming we weren't imaging her being there and giving us our button back, that is. And even if we WERE, I think that bit about helping in the kitchen and the pepper might indicate that there's some truth in our hallucination.

>>22311

When did we gain them? Didn't Reisen say that Patchy was part of the illusion?

Well.. everyone will end up wanting to kill Anon, even Reisen

>>22314
Reisen had not said anything about Patchy.
And when we told Tewi about it, she seemed interested and mentioned she might have to look into it more herself.

Also, I'm pretty sure Komachi and Shikieiki are playing the neutral party to all this.

>>22314

Nope. She never said anything about Patchy, because we never told her about it. We told Tewi, and she seemed to be rather concerned about it, which suggests it may be more than a mere illusion.

>>22309
I still think Kanako and Yukari were testing us back there, and it was them commentating as we fled the shrine. Aya and the tengu have been on the mountain longer than Moriya, though, so I don't expect their agenda to be joined at the hip.

>>22311
When'd we ever GAIN them?

>>22316
L-lies! LIES! Our moon bunny believes in us, who believes in her!

>>22318
Meaning if we ever meet them again, we'd better enjoy it while it lasts, because they will be promptly killed five seconds after we leave their company.

If you think about it, Yukari could have taken anything or anyone away from us at any point to get what she wanted. She has been watching and testing us from the start. Why let us run from the Shrine? There is something about us that Kanako and Yukari (not to mention everyone in Eientei) are interested in. Foreign novelty? Leadership? A special ability? Who knows. All I know is that we are probably in the Moriya Shrine and that there is ALWAYS a chance for us to escape.

Yeah I misremembered that.

>“Everyone’s calmed down now, especially since Sanae managed to heal you."

Still, she does say that Sanae did it, but she wasn't there, so who fucking knows.

>>22322
Escape to what though? There's nowhere left to run other than maybe the SDM, and theres a good chance that they're against us too.

>>22322
The conversation as we fled the shrine seemed to suggest there was something that perhaps had something to do with our gathering together our little group. It could also be that this same thing is also what set Reimu into full-on EXTERMINATE from the moment we first met.
What it could be, and why Eirin couldn't have noticed it (assuming she was telling the truth about not finding anything unusual) however is still a mystery.

>>22324
Escape to the final battle.
We need to fight it at some point in the future anyway.

Things went from bad to worse so quickly in this thread it makes me want to vomit.

>>22324
It's not like we're much better off just tromping through the wilderness, is it? We need somewhere to bunker down for shelter. We're sitting ducks out in the open, and the woods would be too easy to get lost and separated from the others if things went bad suddenly.

>>22328
If you haven't come to expect this sort of thing from us by now, you clearly haven't been paying enough attention.

>>22325
Oh shit.

Reimu usually goes after man-eating youkai, as do Marissa and (occasionally), Alice. We've gathered together a group of non-humans, mostly youkai, who didn't eat us on the spot as many would expect.

Gentlemen, might anon be a youkai himself?

>>22324
There is one power we have not been involved with yet. At least not this story. She waits for out arrival. It is in our last hour that Anon's true ally appears.

Enter the lake, Anon.

>>22335
No, anon is human.

>>22324
Rinnosuke found a safe haven there well enough, it seems. Remember the inhaler?

>>22308
Oh god, now I'm remembering that scene all over again. ;_;

>>22330
I don't believe that there really was any other outcome. If looking under the house wasn't the mistake and Aya got away with yelling at us without attracting any Ninjas, then calling out to the group wasn't an illogical decision. Anon is stupid, but this situation is just bad luck.

>>22337

No, Anon. You are the youkai!

>>22308
We should do it.
Special Guest Write: Dan Kim.

>>22344
And then anon was hungry for soylent green.

Ergh. Alright guys, Sorry, but I've gotta bail. I just realized I've been up for almost 24 hours, and that's not a good thing. I'll be back in about 7~9 hours~ish and then we can try this again.
'night.

>>22346

Dan's kind of a one trick pony. It'd be kind of boring.

So, if we barely managed a successful escape from a cell that was specifically set up to allow us to escape, along with a map that basically told us where we needed to look to get what we need, and all while we had possession of all of our items...

Yeah, I think we're kinda fucked right now.

>>22349
Cliffhanger'd!

G'night.

>>22349

Brief, and we're doomed, but thanks all the same Kira.

Night.

>>22349
Night.

>>22349
G'night

>>22348

Oooh, I knows that movie!

>>22349

24 hours isn't really that bad, but it's bad nonetheless so yeah. Sleep well.

Oh yeah, and before I go, one last thing.

>"Oh, That's simple. The mountain has tengu
>spies everywhere." Nitori lets out a piercing
>whistle, and instantly there are 4 tengu in
>front of her, done up in a comic impression of
>ninja garb.
>The lead one bows before Nitori and then
>addresses her. "You called us out, Miss
>Nitori?"

>>22358
So the Tengu are pissed because we bailed on Nitori as she covered our escape?

>>22358

Nitori's captured us for a sax slave after saving our ass.

>>22358
Am I to take this to mean it was the "call out to Tewi" option that did this to us?
Because when I hear "call out to Tewi" I think literal calling out. Like "Hey, Tewi!"

IT'S NOT MY FAULT
I-it's not...my f-fault...

>>22349
Hot damn! Being in the same time zone as Kira and GM has some distinct benefits!

So they came because we whistled? But we voted to call out, the option said nothing about whistling. Ah fuck it, this isn't worth thinking about.

Please let Reisen sleep through this whole ordeal. I don't think we'll be able to face her again if she found out that after that whole ordeal of worrying everyone thinking we were captured and supposedly learning our lesson, we promptly went and got ourselves captured for real.

>>22362
Yeah, this. I figured we'd go "Yo, Tewi" and she'd come out of whatever hole she ducked into when Aya came out.

>>22362
I must concur. The rationale for throwing us into the stew like that suddenly seems quite thin.

Shit, I think I get it now.
Remember WHY the tengu were out in force on the mountain? Something about a goddess telling them to keep humans off of the mountain ringing any bells?

Splint the the loyalties of the tengu or not, we pretty much just gave the same tengu that were taking orders from Kanako the equivalent of a big "HEY GUYS I'M RIGHT HERE" sign.
And, of course, we just had to do it while we were more or less out in the open, alone and exposed.

Whats done is done. This anon just happened to use whistle as a call. What is important now is to get back to our group or simply escape. The story must go on.

>>22367
Of course, even that might not have been good for us if Aya was the reason Tewi decided to make herself scarce at that moment.

If she decided to hide at that moment, she likely did it for a damn good reason, and would not likely ruin it just because the idiot of the party thinks everything is A-OK hunky-dory.

>>22370
It's just a bit annoying to be fucked over by something we had no way to tell was coming. Hell, Aya says:

>Call your friends if you would, then meet me inside

And we're suddenly idiots for picking the option that said to call out? Anon does enough stupid things that we tell him to do already. He doesn't need to start doing stupid things independently.

>>22370
Unfortunately, escape won't be quite so simple, will it?
We have no items. We have no convenient escape plan provided for us.
It seems to me that, barring one of our allies finding us and breaking us out (how long would it take Mokou to regenerate and track us down, I wonder?) our best chance is to wait for someone to open that door.

Sadly, our current captors seem to be less inclined to take chances than Reimu and company were. If they thought enough to take away our items, they probably wouldn't be so foolish as to give us a blatant chance to get away.

>>22372
Well, to be fair, it is at the very least extremely risky to just go and do exactly what someone tells you to do before you even know if they're friendly or not.

>>22374
And it wouldn't be risky to not follow Aya's orders?

>>22372
I'm guessing now our idiocy was less whistling and more baselessly trusting Aya to be friendly. Honestly, how much more shit do we have to suffer through before we forget how to trust again?

Guys just drop the subject, we'll see what Kira decides to do tomorrow. Right now anyone can see some things don't make much sense (hes been up for 24hrs). We could sit here arguing all day, its not gonna contribute much.

When we escape, let's make a promise.

Let's head to our destination, quickly, and without delay.
When we see someone, we will avoid them.
When we are spotted, we will run.
We shall be paranoid.

>>22376
Well, we could have tried to go over to where we were hiding and try to signal them out from there.
Assuming, of course, the others thought it was safe enough to come out or that they were still there to begin with.

Failing that, we could have just gone inside to chat with Aya. There isn't likely to be anything she would do to us in her house that she wouldn't be able to do just as easily outside. If she wanted to capture us, harm us, or do anything else, we'd clearly be no match for her no matter what.

Considering our situation, we need to be at our most cautious when we appear to be completely alone. Loudly calling out, whether by shouting or whistling, are not the best choices, typically, because if your friends can hear you odds are so can your enemies.

>>22379
If we cannot avoid them we will attack them. Conversation has gotten us nowhere lately.

Well we are fucked anyway, hung by our ankles on a hook with no way to escape and our captors are arguing over how to torture us in the best way possible. We are more screwed then when we were about to get tortured in Eientei. No ones going to save us now, either we find a way out or they are friendly.

>>22379

What is our destination?
Yukari doesn't seem happy with us anymore, Kanako's got plans, Kaguya's house got burnt down, and SDM is dangerous.

The only place left is the Human Village, and I'd doubt Keine will want to offer us shelter with Reimu hell bent on killing us.

>>22381
We have lost our course already, we shouldve stayed with RUFFLING HAIRS, this has brought us good luck always. If we would have ruffled Reimus hair, it would have never come this far.

>>22378
Agreed. Let's not even worry about how to escape.
Let's worry more about how we're going to make it up to our party once we've reunited with them after our escape. If they weren't questioning staying around us before, they're bound to be doing it now.

Oh, and Kaguya. We should be ready to explain how we just let her get stolen from us.
...I fear we've botched our chance at being allowed to give her a celabratory hair-stroking once she's alive again.

>>22383
Dam, now that you bring it up, we really don't have a home. And we're carrying injured people. Must come up with plan.

>>22383
You forgot that Patchy came to heal us, so that means that something is going on that we have no idea of. A Pawn has no idea about this, so that is why we must rise up and get a idea of the whole picture, so that we finally know who is for us and against us.
So the most impossible chance for us and most insane is going to the SDM, but that is exactly the only Way.

>>22383
>>Yukari doesn't seem happy with us anymore,

Doesn't she?
Considering how simple a matter it would be for either her or Ran to just flat-out kill us at any time they pleased, doesn't it mean something that we're still alive? There is nowhere she can't go, nowhere she won't find us.

If she were truly mad at us, I doubt we would live long enough to realize it.

>>22391

Okay, I'll rephrase that. Yukari is fucking with us and Anon no longer considers her an ally.

>>22387
You forgot that shit with Patchy was a dream. ...Probably.

>>22392
But when has Yukari NOT been fucking with us?
And aside from her helping us undo our little suicide, when has she ever done anything to even suggest that she was our ally to begin with?

>>22395

Had Ran try to kill Reisen.
And Chen give Sanae rabies.
I think Ran killed off Mokou too.

>>22396
I'm going to assume you're responding to the "when has she not been fucking with us" part, here.

As for those cases, notice that not a single one of them actually resulted in any form of permanent damage to anyone? Suwako was around to heal Sanae, and both of them are able to heal Reisen, albeit not completely at one time. Needless to say, death doesn't really matter much to Mokou aside from limiting her availability and possibly hindering her depending on what needs regenerating.

It's quite possible Yukari was counting on us being true-to-form and doing whatever we could to help our allies, and left it to luck and fate as to whether or not we would successfully intervene before there were any true fatalities.
Since she didn't seem to care to bargain for the box in exchange for calling off Ran, I can't really imagine any other reason for showing us how Reisen and Mokou were faring in their fight.

Unless she's just a sadistic bitch.

>>22398

Alright, and you're willing to call such a dangerous person an ally then?

>>22395
Buttpillow.

Wait, was that this story or another one?

>>22400
Different butt awesome story.

I'd honestly like to just redo today's events. But eh whatever.

>>22399
Of course not.
My point is that she was never an "ally" to us from the beginning. However, I don't think she can truly be considered an "enemy" to us, either.

>>22398
>Unless she's just a sadistic bitch.

We are talking about Yukari, you know. This is just as likely an explanation as anything else.

>>22402

I'm feeling you, man. Today's felt a little lackluster to me, too.

>>22405
I would suspect that whole "no sleep in 24 hours" might have something to do with that.

"You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it."

There has got to be more about Yukari and her Plan then we can think of at this moment. Sure she is using us, but well who is not using us for their own goals. Kaguya must have done the same, always talking about her little Investment. We are nothing but a Pawn for them all for their own personal Goals. The only ones who like us as we are are our little sisters. Wait until they power up, no one will fuck with us then anymore.

As things stand:

The politics:
Yukari has so far avoided using her most effective methods of dealing with us, namely robbing us through gaps or out right killing us. She has also avoided killing anyone that could not be recovered, however this may not be intentional on her part.
I content that Yukari is trying to train or teach anonymous something, perhaps there is some greater threat beyond the horizon that Yukari is preparing us for...
Speculation about Eientei, The Shrine and Moriya is futile at the moment.
Remillia, could she be controlling our fate? Perhaps the sudden change in fortunes relates to her interest in us. Or maybe she is working with Yukari to prepare us for the greater threat?
I fear Remillia but I think the SDM is the only avenue left to us, the only place that can tell us anything anyway.


The Escape:
The Tengu are divided along lines of ideology. Aya has only just learned of the situation, I don't think she's taken a side yet.
If we've been captured and treated as we have we can assume we aren't being held by friendly or neutral Tengu, although an ambitious neutral Tengu may be trying to use us as a bargaining chip.
Heated discussion? I hold hopes that Nitori has come for us.
Floor grate: Doubt that our captors will have left it loose, but it may contain items or connect to other cells letting us talk through it.
Door: Listening in at the door seems like a good idea to me.
Window: Learn our current position. Allies could be simply outside or have left notes for us, worth a look.
Steps: Why mention the steps? Possibly something worth checking out if they're mentioned at all...
Hook: Can we use this to cut through the ropes or otherwise loosen them? Our hands are in front of us now which is a pretty big advantage compared to before, work the point into any gap between the ropes and you may be able to loosen the off.

I'd suggest the door for now, it'll give us a better idea of the situation and fore warning of anyone about to enter. If we're left in the cell after that, check the window for position etc then the grate and finally the stairs.
If some one is entering or about to enter, check the stairs. Loose stones? Trip up a guard or something maybe.

But check that door.

Yukari's plan: Excite Gensokyo!

With no "villians" to set straight, or no mishappenings occuring, Gensokyo's BORED! We've arrived her to sort of give purpose to the residents routine and mundane lives.
- Reimu's actually up and DOING soming other than sweeping a empty shrine
- Kaguya actually did something. On her own accord. Even quarterback'd the shit rather than given the ball to Eirin like she does time and time again.
- Mokou is helping out a fellow outcast instead of her doing another Tom & Jerry routine with Kaguya
- The same goes for Reisen and Tewi
- People we don't even know are VERY interested in us. So interested, they managed to will their frail selves to leave their dusty eyesore of a bookshelf prison to see us
- Hell, even our on (9) Squad are viewed as something more than just punchlines.

Anon is shaking up Gensokyo, down to it's very foundation! And who's the mastermind that's so thrilled, she's abandoned her catnaps and shikigamis in order to participate in the festivities as well?

JUST AS PLANNED!

Oh, and I couldn't really find anything we've done dealing with the Netherworld, so have a chibi Yuyuko.

you know in the progress many many people could die, even Reimu herself could die with Kaguya already stuck in a box, Eirin missing, Anon about to enter a world of Pain, the 9 Squad in no better condition, and most of all Reisen as good as dead. Even Yukaris, Rans and Chens Situation isnt so good, its like battle Royale, everyone could die in the progress of shaping up Gensokyo. No more Plot Armor, everyone could be the next.

>>Reisen as good as dead.

LALALALALALA I CAAAAN'T HEEEAR YOOOOOOOOOOU!

The Moment we laid our eyes on her, and kissed her, it was already too late for her. No one can save her anymore, well at least the pure despair of her death will shape us up and help us power up a bit.

I've come to realize that this is the plot to Dune.

We arrive and become the leader of a ragtag group. We piss off the local tyrants (Reimu = House Harkonnen) and ally with an isolationist resistance party (Eientei = Fremen). We have the power of leadership and future-sight. Oh, and we have been betrayed by Moriya Shrine (House Corrino)

Yukari is a Face-Dancer (of the Bene Tleilax) and is trying to kill us, but always allows us a chance to escape and is molding our path to her will. Chani (Reisen) is our lover and will always suffer because of it.

Our path is clear:
Drink the Water of Life (the lake)
Overthrow the houses
Become the Emperor of Gensokyo.

DANMAKU MUST FLOW.

We somehow get out without telling anything (we really don't know what to tell), and we return to a happy crowd. But something's nagging at us. They're happy to see us even though we were captured for a second time now, and we fucked up for the third time.
We leave. There's no other choice. We don't deserve people risking themselves for someone as worthless as us. We turn back, smile and wave off, then wrap a tattered red cape around us and walk away.
Then get overrun with undead zombie mikos.

We all know this Anon is a shit disturber of epic proportions.

LALALALALALALA I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOU LALALALALA

Not killing her. Too obvious. Plus, not rage inducing enough.

Wow, So I'm channeling Dune? Sweet. I've never read/watched/partaken of in any manner of Dune before, so this is kinda nifty.

>>Not killing her. Too obvious. Plus, not rage inducing enough.

I'm not sure if I should feel relieved, or even more worried...

You should feel more worried, there are many more cruel ways then to just kill her. Thinking Berserk would be a good idea.
