(Hey I just joined this game and I have no idea what's going on other than we're looking for Remilia and Flandre has some random unsolvable riddle(?).)

>You take the rag in hand. What a crappy shield, you feel almost lonely. And this is with four people following you around.
>"Naw, I gotta make me a Frogloo!"  Cirno says, as she starts to arrange the frogs she's brought into a circle.
>You remind Mystia that she's still loved. She nods, clearly a little nervous to have attention come on her for no reason. She has learned well the lessons of history, it seems.
>You travel west, following the path as it twists and turns through a thicket, until you come to an overgrown hill that rests near the edge of the bamboo grove on the edge of Eientei. Looking to the southeast, you can see a clear view of Scarlet Devil Manor. On the side of this hill is a refrigerator. In the shade of the trees nearby is a refrigerator box, turned on its side. Obvious exits are east.

> Hug everyone, especially Mystia and Flan.

>Hugs for all! Hugging Flandre still leaves you feeling a tad sunburnt, but the feeling subsides quickly enough. The group as a whole seems to have gotten used to the exercise. Kaguya even seems amused by it. Or possibly amused by Mystia's resignation to the affair.

(To be fair, a lot of my INSTANT DEATH traps are obvious ones -- stuff that people should expect to kill them -- and the ones that aren't all usually have a telltale sign of their lethality that they all share, usually to do with the story boss.)

>While these are all excellent plans, they overlook the fact that Remilia just grabbed you by the shirt collar with both hands and tugged you off balance. While you try to keep from tumbling and looking like a good, Remilia extracts herself from the box and says, with her grip still on you, "I was trying to sleep. You understand, I would hope, exactly how rude it is to try to yank someone out of bed."

> Donate blood damnit

>Bitch this ain't no Trinsic! There ain't no blood bank here for you to grind virtue on! You might be getting your chance, Remilia seems pretty unpleased with recent happenings.

It would help if we were out of Remilia's clutches before we did that.

> Say that no, we don't, but that (if by 'entreaty' she means us speaking our piece VS praying to Suwako) perhaps a more hasty return to the SDM would be in order -- by 'nearly dying', we mean 'we passed her in the hall and she was barely hanging on' and by 'Sakuya misses her' we mean 'Sakuya REALLY misses her'. And the Mansion got a somewhat-not-so-cool name change (Green Eye Mansion doesn't nearly have the same ring as 'Scarlet Devil Mansion').

> Drop your pants and bend over, ready to take her Gugnir.

>Unfortunately, this plan is pre-empted when Remilia neatly lands a Shoryuken on your facial parts. For a few moments, your world explodes into stars and little planet Saturns. You are dimly aware of flying through the air, but not much else. When your vision clears, you are quite a few yards from where you were standing, and Remilia is fetching her parasol.

>Use her power against her, Judo style!

>Unfortunately, she's also a fast little booger, and her low center of gravity will make this difficult. Especially since your knowledge of judo is limited to a few neat martial arts videos you once saw.

>Run into broad daylight and hope Remi follows (and isn't one of those lame vampires who sparkle rather than combust when exposed to sunlight).

>Unfortunately, with her parasol ready, you can't really answer that question. But at least it is occupying one of her hands!
