I am a wayward soul wandering in an environment I once could call home

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
Jamaica

Off the florida keys
Theres a place called kokomo
Thats where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
Well be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

To martinique, that monserrat mystique

Well put out to sea
And well perfect our chemistry
By and by well defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama

Listen to this girl ^

she knows her music well.

Also, in times like these, as a male person (despite being feminine) should down a few beers at a local tavern and hit up a few rounds of snooker. Smoke some shit up and get way over the counter, piss over it and down a couple more if they didn't shoot you yet, and then cuss at the wall as well as fat guy who couldn't get a girlfriend but still thinks he is attractive.

After of which, as you lay bruised, and battered, remember this is not the end, that after you survive this, you shall not call strife as strife but rather opportunity. At the next chance you get, you shall donate freely to the orphanage and the church, remember to answer the call to nature and dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to a worldly cause such as helping endangered animals and curbing the hunt of little arctic seals.

As you dwell and bask in glory of your good deeds, remember that all this is only a given, in time they will be gone. Suck it up and down a few more beers and grow a beard and some body hair, pick up your nearest rifle and then go out and shoot taht good for nothing neighbour of yours.

Before he closes his eyes finally and die,
whisper into his ears, 'I fucked your wife.' You can always fulfill the promise later as he writhes and curses your soul to hell.

Trust me, you are doing the woman a favor.

Like I said, board wiped, TSO went for the overhaul, and then a bunch of people were kicked out of their basements and were forced to set up stall waiting in line to participate in the next American Idol... I mean...er... Idiot maiden/Idiot deity awards.

Either that, or you are asking why the Smirks?

It is a temporary thing, every kid wants to be cool.

A horrible sort of buzzing noise fills the air, and Nitori's hair stands on end. She jerks and convulses, but remains on her feet while smiling manically and biting down upon the powerline with frightening force. "Yeah! Tight! Tight!" she cries through her clinched teeth, before the transformer overhead explodes. Nitori slumps to the ground, leaning against the utility pole with a euphoric look on her face.

A gazebo rests in the middle, which is currently being dominated by the Prismriver Sisters as they lay down their funky beats, with a crowd of several dozen rabbits around it, and some faeries floating overhead. Off to the side, you see Tewi sitting at a card table, apparently waiting for someone to approach while watching the performance. Kaguya is sitting among the rabbits, bobbing her head roughly in time with the music. Oddly enough, Yugi is also here, with a different-colored book than before in one hand, and a dish of sake in the other. She seems oblivious to what is going on around her. Obvious exits are east, south, and west.

>The dormitory is a mess. Frogs and panicking rabbits have resulted in overturned beds, lots of broken objects, and personal belongings being scattered all over the place. There's potentially all sorts of random objects you can find here, especially broken objects, but it would take forever to dig through everything. Off to the side, you can see a little bathroom with a sink and mirror. There are still a couple dozen frogs around, but they don't seem that dangerous.
>Checking the mirror, you can see your face looks more or less fine. Rumia leans over and starts makind faces into the mirror. You still got that frog sensation about you, and it's just bothersome as hell...

> Ask Rumia if she is hungry.

>Trying to shake off the dread, you have some water to rinse out the frog taste. It certainly hits the spot, leaving you feeling a whole lot less grossed out. Maybe you won't catch any weird frog diseases now...
>Glancing out the door, you really can't see Mystia or Rumia. You think you hear some thumping around in their direction.
>"Let's go have cake for lunch!" Rumia suggests.

>"Candyman, Candyman, Candy-"

>That's just silly.

>Guy Made of Bees

>Despite you best instincts, you invoke the name one last time.
>The world around you seems to go cold. Sound seems to fade away, you can't hear the croaks of the invading frogs any longer. Your teeth start to chatter, something is very wrong now, you can feel it in every nerve of your body. Then you notice that Rumia's reflection is no longer in the mirror.
>You hear a sound. It is a sort of low, droning buzz. Then, you see it. The reflection in the mirror, your reflection, is watching you. Your mouth falls open a little, but the reflection's mouth does not. The droning buzz grows louder; you know there is something in the air, but you cannot see it. The reflection is still watching you, it's eyes, your eyes, making your skin crawl. You take a step away from the mirror, but it does not move. Instead, it twitches its lips, then it starts to speak, but there are no words.
>The droning is getting louder.  The reflection continues to move, but not like a human being. It's mouth still moving, it's face starts to...warp. It is as though it's being twisted and torn into pieces at the edges. Unable to look away, you watch as the edges of this reflection dissolve away into little bits of something, swirling and spiraling around it. With each passing moment, that face becomes less human, more grotesque and distorted. The droning sound is echoing in your ears now, you can't aren't sure if you could even hear another thing now. The swirling chaos around that face seems to press against the mirror. Then, it passes through, and you see bees.
>The droning snaps into focus, becoming a horrible din of buzzing, a thousand thousand buzzes layer atop each other. More bees pour from the mirror, obscuring the unspeakable reflection. Hundreds, then thousands of them billow out as though some awful doorway had been thrown open, as you stumble further back. The swarm twists and writhes within itself, and you realize that you can still see that face, that face of yours horribly and hideously twisted. Yet it never stays for long, as the swim ungulates. It warps upon itself, sometimes beyond recognition. Yet it always comes back, watching you. Other times, you see shapes within the swarm, glimpses of things you cannot name; that you don't want to name.
>You can hear something in the drone. It sounds like a voice, a terrible, raspy voice, made from the buzzing of the tens of thousands of bees. It is hard to make out first, but you can hear it's message: "I'm... h...a...p...p...y..."

>"Guy made of antibees, guy made of antibees, GUY MADE OF ANTIBEES!"

You try to ignore the maddening noise that all but drowns out your thoughts. Slowly, trying not to vomit, you stand and take a quick look around.
>You are not in Eientei anymore. You really don't have any idea where you are. This place is barren and lifeless. Here and there, you think you see ruins of what was once Eientei, but you are not sure. In the distance, you think you can see people.

>The frogs seems to gather around you as you try to take refuge among them. "Why are you stopping!" cries Mystia, her voice barely audible over the buzzing. You turn to face the swarm, still fervently wishing for victory. The face comes into focus for a moment, screaming "I feel...g...o...o...d..." at you, before it is distorted and lost into a shape that seems almost like a sort of alien plant creature.
>As it draws closer, the frogs turn their attention toward the swarm, and begin to flick their tongues out. Within an instant, dozens of bees vanish from the swarm, as the buzzing voice pierces into your thoughts again, crying out your name again and again. More and more bees vanish, as the frogs war away at the swarm, but you can see it will not be fast enough. The swarm looks about ready to attack the frogs now; and they are certainly too few and too small to withstand such an assault even as they tear into the vile thing.

Perhaps it is the first thing that came to mind? The world around you seems to darken, and it grows a little harder to make out what's going around you. Blessedly, it also dims the horrible shapes you see within the swarm, reducing them to mere suggestions of violence and horror. The bees themselves seem to be moving a lot more erratically now, and the frogs tear away at them still, being used to operating at night.
>You then begin to shout a number of random things, trying to invoke the name of the Ghost Princess, trying to exorcise the swarm, and at one point just shouting song lyrics at it.

>Use our skill of armor craftiness to form makeshift armor by combining Slightly Worn Towel, Electric Razor, The Clothes on your Back, Piece of Singed Dented Metal, Spare Sewing Machine Parts, and Rumia's ribbon.

>Thankfully, the swarm is still a bit night-blinded, so you have time to throw together something. You use the Spare Sewing Machine parts to attach the Piece of Singed Dented Metal to the Slightly Worn Towel, and drape it over The Clothes On Your Back, which serve as underpadding. For decoration, you use Rumia's Ribbon to dangle the Electric Razor from the middle as an heraldic emblem. You now have an Orky Cuirass!
>The Orky Cuirass does a good job confounding the bees, as they try to blindly sting at you and hit the metal with a number of satisfying little thumps. Rumia and the Frogs make use of their distraction, and soon the last of the swarm is devoured.
>With a sort of popping noise, the world seems to shift back into focus. Looking around, you can see you are in the courtyard of Eientei, looking just as you left it only several minutes ago. It is as though the swarm never came. Cirno is here, looking very confused. "Where'd you guys com-THERE YOU ARE YOU FROG BASTARDS!" And then she goes to work freezing them again.
>The frogs are now bouncing around in circles, making them easy prey for Cirno. Rumia, as well, has taken to spinning in a circle, arms outstretched, whilst giggling to herself. Mystia sinks to her knees, and seems ready to weep with relief. Kaguya gently kneels down, and seems to be resting.

The senses of stillness and sterility intermingle, giving you a sense that you are profaning this place slightly with your presense.

Alternatively, if Kaguya cannot figure it out, ask Flandre if she might be able to use her apparently-enlightened mind to do so.
 
(It may seem strange, but consider -- we have all this ammo, and it may very well come in handy later.)
 
>If one of the above gives us a design for the pill gun, combine the necessary items for it.
 
>If no gun design is acquired, or the gun design did not call for an item that was possibly given as a solution to Flandre's most pressing riddle, then offer that item to her.

>Tell me if this is too many commands in one post.

>Flandre considers for a moment. "The riddle that vexes this one the most is the riddle of the soul," she says. "When the end comes to matter and energy, what will have become of the soul, which is independent of such things? The Eternal," she gestures toward Kaguya, "in particular vexes this one with this riddle."

>You lay out your items. You remove the ghost trap carefully, and consider the proton pack. You suspect you could make another weapon out of it if you could improvise a firing mechanism. But once you take it apart, you suspect that you will never be able to put it back together again with the help of Nitori or someone similarly skilled. But, if you could find a way to make a firing mechanism, a theoretical pill gun should be doable!

>present Giygas Made of Bee Pollen
> "I don't suppose this would be any help for the 'riddles?'"

>Flandre considers the item, her wings tinkling gently as she shifts a little to do so. "This one does not believe it would assist."

I'm actually not sure which of the two is a better idea:
 
1st idea...
 
> Ask Kaguya to use her wisdom she has acquired from her long-term immortality-through-ressurection to answer Flandre's question -- and if need be, we promise to plug our ears so that we hear none of it.
 
2nd idea...
 
> Go North and make a beeline for either where we saw Patchouli last OR to the Voile, and see if we can't administer some medicine to the unfortunate Librarian and thus possibly secure her aid. By bribery if necessary. (Plus, she has experience in dealing with Flandre, so if we're dead-set on adding Flan to the party we can get her aid in that.)
 
>Execute whichever of the above commands that sounds like it would be better/lead to fresh shenanigans.

I am afraid, once she learned of my existence, I really just made the question she'd pondering all the more difficult for her. I wonder what she thought before learning of me?"

>You cross the basement and hug Flandre. She doesn't resist, or really react at all. But as you touch her, it kinda stings. I feels a bit like you just hugged a car that was sitting in the summer sun for too long. Checking your arms, they are a bit more reddish than they should be, as though you got a mild sun burn. "Please do not touch this one," says Flandre. "You are impure, as is the world you come from."

>Flandre shakes her head. "This one knows the opposite. The hug is started by a thought and a desire. When the matter perishes and fades, what becomes of these things? When all matter fades, what becomes of them? This is the riddle of the soul. Do they attain purity when matter is stripped away? Do they attain it when matter is removed entirely from the cosmos? This one ponders such things, while awaiting for its purpose to come."
