Stab? Wut?

It'll be difficult though as I wish to assure that everyone here can enjoy this mansion together. Oh, and thank you for your trust."

And....we now own the SDM, people.

(Considering her honour, she'd probably go along with that.)

Well, you gave us the trading chip we needed to make this possible, so high-five!

Grue, you've offically topped my contribution to our journey.

Of course, you may have also lost it. Remember Flan's terms of coming along?

Hence, if she asks for that Cap now, we ought to hand it to her and get out of the room (and not because of Flan, oh no).

>"Oh joy!" Parsee bustles out of the room after fishing the deed to Scarlet Devil Manor from a drawer and handing it to you. "Just write things up, I'll sign later."

>You dash dash dash down the stairs, past Parsee and Yugi, and back into the library. There you find Remilia and Koakuma loading Patchouli onto the book cart; there is a distinct lack of an actual Nitori about. You quickly explain the situation to Remilia. "What," is her only reply. After a moment of awkward silence, she adds, "When the hell did my mansion become the town bicycle? And you shut up about dice, I'll gamble my things whenever I damn well feel like it!"

(We'll settle the ownership issues with Remi later. Though we already have the deed, it'd be preferable to keep things sweet with Parsee and Yuugi for the time being.)

>If by some freak chance we are found out, point out to Parsee and Yuugi that while it was a bit of trickery, it still ended up tipping the scales in their favor and thus is overlookable -- and besides, if the two of them work together versus against one another, they'd achieve their goals faster -- Remilia wanting her mansion to be in her control, and Parsee to have that machine built for whatever purpose she has.

(In short: if hiding fails, use Aesopbabble to save our collective arse.)

>"I'm going to gut you in your sleep, you know that right?" Remilia grumbles, as she goes to hide among the shelves. Patchouli, having knocked herself out previously, is decidedly unhelpful in this endeavor.
>Yugi and Parsee enter a moment later. "Hey, what was that running past us all about?" says Yugi.
>"Is Nitori downstairs?" Parsee asks, looking around as Koakuma starts to wheel the Patchouli-laden book cart away.

You know there's this guy from the outside who claims the universe was created by a huge explosion? No shit, either! Seriously, they figured it out by using some kinda magic to pick up on this shit called cosmic background radiation, and they figured out what was it was going; then figured out it it was going somewhere it had to have come from somewhere! Then they looked at the furthest away things they could find, and figured out how far away it was with this funny light trick, and figured out how fast light goes, and they got an idea how long ago that big ole explosion happened. Isn't that fucking wild? But it gets weirder, they say that the universe is expanding! Fucking awesome how they pinned it all down."
