This would seem to be the official place for it, yes.
Apparently, the Challenger II was filled with manliness. I hope that means that it fixed the mangled barrel.
You have a manly tank with a mangled barrel. I am amused.What's so amusing about that? You know that there are many destroyed tanks sitting out there, rusting and falling apart, since WWII, and they will never see a museum for poor preserving out there in wilderness.
I lost complete track of the thread and story because I couldn't read it anymore this morning.
Last thing I remember: Is the part where a canister of teargas was thrown inside the shrine and everybody went berserk kicking ass.
How about a summary of where everybody is. This story is built wall by wall and sifting through that takes more time than the actual writing. Or we could have a status post.I second this motion.
I lost complete track of the thread and story because I couldn't read it anymore this morning.You got that half right, only we didn't go apeshit on the SWAT guys (it was mentioned though), Koishi apparently created an escape route for the group and everyone supposedly escaped leading us up to this point now.

we sould most surely make a new sign up thread
for the record, some1 summarize this even thou i probably won't take part coz it goes too fast due to people spamming one liners.
um, is it too late to join?
if not, can I team up with Nitori?

On a large, yet shallow hill that slopes right up from Lake Suwa sits a modest shrine. It is considerably bigger than the Hakurei Shrine, consisting of one main large main temple and two smaller detached wings centered around a large central courtyard. There is a smaller building off to the side where the caretaker, priests, and shrine maidens would reside.
The Saniwa family that used to manage the shrine fell on hard times, mostly due to the decline of worshippers and faith which coincided with the modernization of the Karuisuwa region, as well as the popular rise of Christian faith in general. To try and avoid closing the shrine for good, they opened up their hot springs for public use. They even constructed a relatively well-built Ryokan (hot spring inn) just a little way off on the shrine grounds, far enough that it wouldn?t disturb the serenity of the shrine, but not so far that it was completely detached from the shrine.
The ryokan is a 3 story Japanese style building with a large open-air hot spring in the back (separated by gender, off course), supplied directly by a natural hot spring from under the lake. It boasts nice, airy traditional tatami mat rooms, made for group visitors. There is one function/party hall, one function dining hall, one smaller dining room for the staff, a large, well-equipped kitchen, a large underground garage that looked more like a hangar bay than anything?and, strangely enough, many underground storage rooms, now empty and in disuse (perfect for hidden laboratories!). (feel free to suggest more additions)
The Saniwa inn prospered after that. Soon the shrine was almost completely forgotten as the number of worshippers fell to almost nothing. The other two temples in the neighbouring cities became more popular as destinations of worship due to them being more prominent members of the Suwa Taisha (while the Saniwa shrine was also a Suwa Taisha shrine, it had never been as well-promoted).
The Saniwa family began investing in other, larger businesses, and soon the inn was left behind and shut down due to lack of profit, mostly attributable to the decline of tourism in the Karuisuwa region.
That was years ago. Now, the current Saniwa heir felt the shrine and ryokan had to be reopened and maintained properly before it collapsed for good. He was just wondering where to start hiring people when he came across a bunch of strangers who had taken refuge in his shrine. Moved by pity for them, and feeling he had nothing to lose, he decided to let them run the shrine for him. As long as they maintained the shrine and the ryokan and kept it running smoothly, they could stay as long as they liked and share the profits amongst themselves.
It sounded like a deal too good to be true.
Sorry, Pichu, I think I misread one of your posts. Are you planning on moving on to a different location rather than go to the shrine? Please let me know. I can edit my posts as necessary.Oh I'm not going anywhere, I was just suggesting it for in the future when (or if) the teams split up, it would make it easier to know where your buddies are in case you run into something heinous and need to retreat.
Kojiros, sorry to break it to you, but your character is a huge gary stu.i don't know who that even is but i'm assuming its not a compliment haha
That almost describes Zoro's style in One Piece, Koji XDit does? i never paid much attention to One Piece but Zolo i thought was pretty cool.
MTG, you rock. Thanks for the summary. Now I can finally read on the new stories and write my next story. I'll either do it later on or at school during my break of one hour.
So. I decided to sign up for this thing.
Since this has already started I'm absolutely baffled as to how to start off. ._.;; Any ideas?
Looks like a good plan, though we might have to suss out the details.
It's a good solution for our distance limitation though. How are we supposed to run an inn/shrine if everyone has to be within 5 meters of everyone else? (I assume you were suggesting the leyline node is the Saniwa shrine itself, yes?)
Plus there's the matter of the overall reduced spirituality in the outside world. Hmm...
Oh, that gives me a rather interesting plan. As well as increase individual strengths, they can increase the strength of the Saniwa shrine node by increasing the spirituality in the region, say, by attracting worshippers, promoting the shrine, perhaps getting some of the girls to become town pop-idols and form a band or something, stuff like that (Kannagi Miko style).
To keep things interesting, the node is a weaker source of mana than an outsider. Sure the girls can move around more independently while within the Saniwa shrine grounds, but they are relatively weakened while they do so. They have to stay close to their partners for a set amount of time each day. Thus the need to train and improve themselves isn't removed.
Thoughts?
Welcome aboard. You can start by reading up on what's happened in the summary/status update thread here. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=124.0) Or you can just leap in as we've just started day 2 and have just decided to reopen the abandoned shrine/inn in Karuisuwa.
I haven't read your profile yet, but I will in a bit. I'd be able to give better suggestions then. Otherwise, see what fits you best, I suppose.
Then I will not start immediately, would rather get approval and suggestions on what the hell I should be doing first instead of jump in and do something terribly wrong.
Because, I don't know who to PM, I'll just put it here
To whom it may concern:
I wish to join in this RP thing going on, taking Nitori and Momizi along into my team.
It is to be called Team Shakin'
I also wish to use two other characters
Their description can be found in the profile thread.
please respond soon.
Thank you
Etch-E-Sketch
.. u might as well ask the Mod to give u a seperate board at this rate.. the cluttering of UGW is ridiculous.
.. u might as well ask the Mod to give u a seperate board at this rate.. the cluttering of UGW is ridiculous.Just for this? I dunno, it seems a bit much for what is, essentially, one RPG. If we plan to have more like this one, then I'd probably believe it to be a worthwhile move.
Baddass Freakin' Harem-MasterAgain, I'm so going to implement 'Shinki BEEEEEEAM~' in this at some point (possibly at the climax or the next 'battle' we have). Also you can change the name to Owlbear now, being...yeah I pretty much changed it. Got rather embarassed of my old name tbh...
aww haha i liked your old name man everytime i heard it i thought of the pokemon pichu and thought Badass freakin overlord Pichu....and then i'd lol but i thought that was pretty cool haha Imagine a badass Pichu that could kick some overlord ass eh? hahacomical ^^Y'know, now that I think of it, I remember I created a sprite comic based on that very idea.
-_- well....
...I suppose that's what the future RPG forum will be for... *shrugs*
A proper RPG session just needs this many resources, especially one of this size (this is a relatively large number of players for one RPG session, especially one that's just beginning). It was just something for fun at first but it quickly grew and everything became too cluttered to keep in two threads.
Besides, you have the space, right?
Anyhow, to everyone else, how do you like your team names? I just based them on the first thing that came to mind when I thought of your character/team. Just let me know if you want to suggest an alternate name.
Now for Titles:
This is something I used to do in a previous RPG. After a day ends I would give each player a ?title? based on the most memorable thing their character has done/went through/was abused for/etc. for the day.
Now titles for day 1, in order of what I can think up -
Mitaka ? Deodorant (for ARMPITS)
Jeremy ? DRILL!
Kojiro - Tsun-Remi-Dere Samurai
Zei - Onii-san
Taihou - Taihou the Combat(??!) Buttler
Hiroko - Saturday Night Jealousy
Amarillo ? Jedi Tourist
McWallace ? Lunatic Highlander (just because of your name)
Alex ? Ecchi Fairy Harem-Master
ThirtyFour - FUBAR Tank Commander
Sho - Yuyuko Bait
Pichu - Baddass Freakin' Harem-Master
Sumire - Newspaper Girl(?)
Myon - MIA
Was that everyone?
TranceHime and Etch-a-Sketch, you've both just joined so you'll get a title for day 2.
Do you really need five threads for this?
Do you really need five threads for this?I know an active forum with 6 subsubforums under a subforum.
I know an active forum with 6 subsubforums under a subforum.
I somehow have to agree with Edible here though. Why there are Five threads for this? A discussion thread and story thread would be more than enough?
I am fearing we are going to lose overview very soon (I lost it already). Now I have to read through five threads to start writing my own part. =|
Edit: Ok, it seems like the majory group is at the shrine which has a hot spring aswell ( am I right ? )
I don't know how I got there so I'll write from the part after the SWAT invasion at the previous location following a solo route (because it was wise to split up before) towards the shrine+hotspring to chill. More details in the other thread.
Do you really need five threads for this?
YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
......
Once again I'd like to reiterate, we're all outsider humans. We may have a few quirks up our sleeves, but we're not Goku from dragonball Z. We're not aliens from planet Saiya with the power to blow up planets.
Thank you. Sorry for the rant, and thank you for reading. Again, this is nobody's fault but my own. I apologize very sincerely.
About Character Balance......
Amarillo's every "special move" or "special attack" drain down her energy super fast (even in Gensokyo)so basically all these are one shots. (Multiple shots with super long cool down time = =, and they are not THAT useful.)
She is a 14-year-old girl after all.
Satsuki Rin is a GOD MOD, however her ability are all locked out currently, which I will explain that in the story.
Good concerns man but yeah teh out of sync-ness could be hard to make the story follow and fun for anyone. I was wondering if we should throw all the factions in one story thread or something. If anyone can make their own setting then all we need to do is have all the enemies set up or you can set up the enemies since your like the DM (or GM lol). Yeah i'm sure we're aware of the powerful abilities we have but i think its somewhat fitting. The outside world has no magic but has science and technology while Gensokyo is vice versa with lots of magic and little technology. Oh and don't worry about my character I use him everywhere i go, video games, RP'ing everywhere. XD I'm no stronger than a A or B rank Touhou character (if you don't know what i mean by that i can post a pic o,o) All that background stuff is simply that background old history. My abilities are gone and I'm no stronger than Marisa or something. All that old stuff was just that...stuff as far as teh story was concerned. It will be fun and contributing i assure you ^_^
I was AFK for a good hour or two leaving my story window open ( trying to finish it up now ).
About the point you raise MTG. I too have read few DBZ / Naruto powerup things but I guess it is everyones way of RPGing. They probably power level.
Just incase someone is wondering the power outburst I wrote in during the Border fight. I'll spoil you this: It is not power which I learned or developped suddenly because I was in anger / despair. It did kill the fun with the first fight and MTG pointed it out, which is good. I kind of rushed there when I actually tried to write something else. But there is a bigger reason behind that outburst. Which I am keeping a secret so far but MTG knows where Taihou's development might/is heading. Ofcourse he can twist it if he thinks it doesn't fit, which I told him to do if needed.
Right now Taihou is nothing more than just a butler + nifty with his fists and with knives which he learned from Sakuya and Meiling. No special powers or Supersayan mode here. He only shares his life force to power Mokou, Keine or Sakuya but those already had powers.
I prefer to keep Taihou asmap nonmagic so no lightningbolts or "death" attacks, meaning he simply uses his knive/dagger or hands ( Nanaya style =P but without the death-lines ) to fight.
Basicly you can see him as a "tanker" in terms of RPG except without a shield and big ass sword.
Taihou is still developping his skills but that will follow.
I got myself lacking magical powers, but with great physical strength. Of course, this has its limitations.
I'm thinking of leaving the group during the night for a little...fun (no, not that kind of fun. I'm keeping it SFW obviously).
Basically my opinion is that if you GOD MOD a character, you must GOD MOD two of their enemies.
The reason Satsuki got resurrection is simply because the enemy in An Age of Chaos: Touhou Heroes contains Sylar( ;D Killing Machine).
Gpop's character is quite acceptable. There is always variation between people and it's normal to have variation in physical strength in reality. However, it isn't very natural for a normal human being to have magical powers. That's all I'm saying. If you're going to have any, try and develop it from scratch.
I was planning on doing that. I'm not going to magically gain powers to save others. I'm not into that.
I'm pretty sure I won't be a problem (anymore) powerlevel-wise, but I've yet to write up a profile to fully explain it.
However, given how huge a time sink this is, I may or may not drop eventually. If I do, I've also come up with a pretty awesome finale to keep my character from becoming a burden. I'll send it to Gap for use at the appropriate moment if the time comes. Or maybe send it anyway just in case I vanish without announcing it.
As for threads, I think the profile and story archive threads could be merged. Actually, the archive could be hosted off-site and linked to in the story summary. The different factions' threads could remain split, I think (I've been avoiding the Chosen thread so I don't abuse meta-knowledge there), but we could cut down at least a little on the externals. Getting it all into a discussion thread would be pretty difficult, though. Still, I think offsite archiving of some details might be a good way to work around some of the thread clutter, especially for the static stuff.
I offer my own webdomain and space to store a simple website with detailed information such as
- Story archive so far
- List of characters ( not the Gensokyo girls ) with their profile / speciality etc
- List of teams
But it has to be all HTML so I can simply dump it in 1 file and upload it.
The "status" can be updated in the first post of the story topic. There's no real need for two story threads that I can see. Registration/Profile should be in Discussion.
You can host some of this offsite if you want, but there's no reason for there to be five active threads for one RP. I'll leave the solution up to you.
The issue is, I would like you to reflect, would it be more fun to spring into existence with an arsenal of powerful abilities? Or would it be more fun to develop them slowly, learn them, perfect them? Become a master through a long hard road of apprenticeship?OHHHH now i see what you meant. start from the ground up and master or start with some ability.
And when you say you're as strong as Marisa, the current Marisa is so weak she might lose a fight against a kid in sixth form. I seriously don't think your current Kojiro is that weak.
Hey Gpop? is Merlin and Sanae with you right now? When you visited us? i wanted to be sure haha. I dont' think i've seen them much lately so i was curious.
Sanae's just with herself somewhere. She's not directly connected to me. I also stated that she can live without the mana since she came from the Outside World as well. She's going to be involved somewhat later (like saving my ass or something).Oh yeah that's right! i remember that. She is from this world originally so she....dood you should use to to make links with other characters XD ahhhah
Merlin is still wherever everyone else is. She's still oblivious that we're in your mansion. She's also with the rest of the Prismrivers.
Also, I agree with your story!
Koishi: see? ^^ maybe I can manipulate their subconscious? be their hidden matchmaker +_+hmm this sounds familiar XD
Gpop: no Koishi dear you can't force people to fall in love now let them be. They both are having problems and i'm sure they'll figure it out themselves and things will fall into place.
Koishi: aww okay darling. I hope so
nah it made me go "HEY-YO!!! Go Taihou XD hahah.and i thought Mokou was an ass. Maybe its her way of showing you she cares hahh.
Oh I hope my last part in my latest post did not made people go "WTF". Destiny is unpredictable.
About the archive:
Saving the entire into 1 HTML may be easy but it eats up people's bandwidth.
Since I've tried and the result is terrible :'(
nah it made me go "HEY-YO!!! Go Taihou XD hahah.and i thought Mokou was an ass. Maybe its her way of showing you she cares hahh.I prefer the element of suprise for my stories. Let us see how sakuya will manage without her mistress.
I was just reading it because I F5'ed and forum gave a new post.
So as far as I skimmed it ( clock ticking 23:20 here , have to get early up tommorow ), you have dived into several peoples dreams which is simply do-able and cannot be resisted?
I'll leave the description for you because we the four of us are supose to sleep after the "action."
NGAH! I forgot to add Taihou to that last post! It completely slipped my mind. Sorry, Helepolis. I'll try to think something up. But if you can think up something for me, that'll be good to. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read my last story post.
If I forgot anyone else, let me know. Thanks, and apologies in advance.
Nah, it's a memory of last night's dream. More because our contracts are still so sloppy and fragile that everything's spilling over everywhere and also because we all slept so close to each other the night before. It probably won't happen again on that scale. More on a team scale from now on, I think.It makes sense. So basicly it is the night at Saniwa-shrine after everybody had taken their hotspring bath. Right?
...err, does that make sense? My words are failing me at the moment.
Definitely didn't see the dream thing coming.
I think I'll go along with the "guilt" explanation Mind the Gap made up, since I didn't really have any prior plans or ideas.
Also, I'm male. :P
I'm sorry but, what the hell is going on exactly?
^Everyone dreamed.
That dream explanation Satori gave seems a little off. After all, immortality is a massive concept that would take more time to crack a mind than say, Reisen's mindblow which a) was instant and b) did happen to McWallace at point blank range no less. Such a dream seems to suggest a lower than average sync rate to me.
This dream gives me a new ingredient to this piece. A whole dynamic of Eirin being afraid of getting left behind. Such lonliness must be explored somehow. A deep story seems to be brewing.
By the way, Satori is going to spend the day waylaying people and reminding them of their dream the night before, much like she did to Mitaka. You don't have to go into ALL the details if you don't want to. Just walk away with the knowledge that from now on you can 'dive' to better understand your partners and improve your synchronization.Meh. I'll listen. Probably could learn something new.
I never played Ar Tonelico, but I think I understood this "diving" thing.
Only question is that if we "dive", how are our bodies on the outside? Are they completely limp or something as others from the outside see it?
Also, the dream MTG gave for me gave me an idea...
However, the dream of Amarillo didn't quite suit her, notice she is only 14.
Well, I'll get this plot hole patched really soon, just you wait. and Actually this out-of-character dream had helped me constructing the story for now.
And I'll continue to do the Archive (http://nemoma.6te.net/OriZone/)
UPDATE:
All main story content up to now has been archived.Start toArchive The Path of Chosen ---> DONE
Character Details will be Archivedafter thatshortly.
Wait so do I have to write my own dream before MTG can dive in it ? Or ? I am slightly confused now because after MTG, everybody seems to have posted this dreaming thing.
Well, since I'm so hellbent on Team <insert random mahjong hands here> trying to find other signs of life, it would only make sense for them to run off to a department store, no?
Well, I honestly don't know, I don't have much material anyway >_>
We can challenge the yakuza to a game of mahjong?
I had this thought where the inn needed a lot of money for something. We come across a mahjong tourney and sign you up without you knowing. And you somehow end up playing against the Yakuza we beat up. Queue froth-at-the-mouth tension as Meira proves just how intimidating she can be as a bodyguard.
Oh, and Rabbit made a post! *goes off to read*
Mahjong
Team nameTeam Akagi/Akagiron/Nose
Team Akagi/Akagiron/Nose
Team Dai-Yakuman TSUMO ? TranceHime (Yoh Hirozawa)
Meira
Hmm, yeah, that is sort of the raw idea xD
It is kinda really long though... I say Team Akasaki, just because, but~
Btw, two character requests are at odds with each other. Xan and Kojiros have both laid claim to Youmu.
Something relevant, I think - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJOxopQSVWs&feature=PlayList&p=7F3AEC2DA1B1EF23&index=18

tank regimentsCool, then I'll be renting a tractor.
Is that the kind of firepower Remilia and Flandre will be using? I could see that happening as they are linked to someone with an effective power lever that's quite literally over nine thousand, even with the seal. That means that the tank regiments I had in mind would not be too much.
Not yet, no. It'll be a long while before they get to that stage.
Though I have no idea what sort of strength Remilia has right now as a result of Koji's contract.
hey MTG? There is one thing i never understood fully about Ar Tonelico and that was Synchronization rate. mostly in the first game with that graph that went up and down in the status menu? and has the percentage next to it? i never understood that and seeing how Mitaka saw his synchro rates i was curious as to how to gauge it appropriately for my chars too. Thing you can explain that for me?
@nemoma
Some of my dream was cut out of the archive, mainly Eirin being accused of murder.
Oh and does anyone want Patchy or Koakuma? i still kinda want to change some things around. They aren't really my faves really but i can keep em if need be. I'm pretty dam flexible with ideas nonetheless. hehe.
I might pick up Rumia somehow as a replacement and train her/get spiritually close enough to make her an EX Rumia with the real power for darkness haha. i dunno

Agh. I've been reading this, and it's kind of hard to follow, probably because of the fifty different writers writing stuff at the same time. There are random weak points and random strengths, and I can't quite tell if I like it or not. I probably would have joined with Sanae lest Gpop relinquish her, but I doubt I'd be able to go through the whole story anyways because I'm an incompetent douche like that.
Going to keep reading.

Going to keep reading.
Thanks Kojiro. You da man. Somehow Youmu fits better with team Ghostbuster. Did you PM Xan?
Regarding Patchy, she would complement team FUBAR nicely, being part of the Marisa 'circle', but there's no chance of that happening, especially with Mitaka the way he is. Only a serious, serious emergency could get something like that to happen...and it would drive team FUBAR to death's door, if not beyond. So maybe not team FUBAR.
This, mostly because I've been running an RP for about a year now, and participating in online RPs for about a year before that. I'd like to join here, but it doesn't seem too accessible to new starters, what with Gensokyo being inaccessible already... Although I could either take up the offer for Patchu or intentionally handicap myself with a Nameless Fairy team or something. I'll have to keep looking around for a bit, I guess.

By the way, Rabbit, Owlbear, mind if I borrow Ben and Shinjiro for the following post? And Rabbit, ok if I move Ben's arrival ahead by one week so he would be present for the action? They will encounter Jeremy and Sanasan's groups while searching Maribel's apartment.

I don't mind. You're the GM after all, just let me know exactly where it leaves me in the grand scheme of things with references to the relevant threads so that I know exactly what's going on. I'm still quite lost. I only just got the presence of mind to check the thread labelled DISCUSSION hurp derp
Plenty of entrypoints, considering we're still at the beginning. (as said before, becoming a Gensokyo survivor is also an option. Just work out a backstory.)
Edit: oh and if you want Patchy then stop by me. Just make up something like "i managed to salvage a large chunk of your library" or something I'm sure she and Koakuma would follow haha. (if you want Koakuma too that's fine as well)
Ria
Help renegades
Raid mansion for supplies during day 2 12:00
XD that jerk raided my mansion why i was sleeping! hahahaahah Although it was hilarious Sakuya wasn't there becasue she's with Taihou at the Hot Spring Shrine still. I don't mind the raid at all. it was hilarious afterall but sakuya can't be there. (Unless Helepolis doesn't mind comin over and stayin till about 6pm in which it was possible). Just a little heads up is all haha. stealing my food with tanks wtf XD
i loled. hard too
I just finished up my profile, so I'll be checking out the story thread for a bit before figuring out how to insert myself into the Kojiro/Gpop group.. In a mansion surrounded by some pirates? I'll need to read for a while longer... Is anyone else near the mansion, and is the mansion even near Karuisuwa at all?
Day 2
Late morning: Jan arrives at the town of Karuisuwa from the forest, checks into the inn and immediately leaves for the woods. (A little before anyone else conducted business at the inn, hopefully... Is Maribel's dorm a separate building?)
Five PM?: Jan manages to find a conflict near a mansion and lays low to see how he should proceed.
....btw, what on earth happened to Gpop? Seriously.Shitposting
Tewi and Marisa kept bugging/teasing Taihou because he couldn't meet up to his name. Such as failing to shoot like a cannon or artillary.And failing at trying to be inaccurate.
dude, i don't think Ria took ALL of the food.There was at least 10 crates left. I took out more than 10 crates. (At least 20.)
beside, now you can ease your sexual tensions with the dirty magazines Remi and Flan got.
( btw, no hard feelings? )
Please note that it was an entire shipload of questionable reading material, including such titles as PlayMaid, Sexy Devil, Librarian Love, Drain Me! Mistress Vampire, and Can't cut the Tentacle amongst others.
Oh, you.
I guess Kojiro and I will just complete the transition of characters, and we'll be ready to move on. Gpop won't be mentioned, so he can do with his characters as he likes (provided we don't get into a serious situation)... Actually, it may be best to lay low until he can get back on. I may check the channel later.
Edit: did ANYONE catch the song by DOPE i slyly inserted in my dream posting? hahahyes, and the whole length of it
Looks like the story is starting to revolve more and more around tanks.
That means Thirtyfour's dream is going to happen sooner or later.
Although i'll need the details of this important meetin or whatever o,o since you want everyone there soon or somethin hehe. I'll think of something or if someone provokes my existance in their story i'll work with that too. its all gravy with me 8)
i MIGHT pick up Hina and/or Rumia
Curses and Darkness fit my backstory so that would be shweet.
Uhh...I seriously didn't see this coming.Well, it's my problem because I started it all. That's why I'm going to be ballin' with my Zetor.

Day 2 Timeline Archived:
http://nemoma.6te.net/OriZone/?page_id=29
Well, Actually I'm asking that is there someone who is also interesting on doing the archiving and stats(XD), if there are he/she/it can PM me and I'll provide a Editor Account so you can archive the posts into static pages.
since I have a glossary to doXD
And,yes, profiles on the Internet may lie, XD
The black texts is just a illusion created by Amarillo.
Team Name?PrimaTech? Pinhearst? Earth Federation Army?(Not to mention that Amarillo was fight alongside with it.) Team Icarus?
Before I post my Team's actions, did Team FUBAR run away w/ the Yakuza group giving chase?
If so I'll probably post my Team intercepting them...or something.
*DF TYPE SEQUENCE*Tank goodne
Tank goodne
In my opinion tank is more game-breaking than material artists and ESPers (Humans).
Well, so SCIENCE RULES!
Well, I thought the Gensokyo faction's goals were simply to get home. The way it is set up, it seems that they were not meant for a direct conflict, and thus must make use of stealth and diplomacy. Stealth so that Qwai does not bring down the hammer and diplomacy so that other factions can screen them from the worst of it.
The yakuza could be a valuable resource, but their hold on town is being challenged by the newly arrived pirates of the wastes.
The pirates have no special interest in Gensokyo for the time being as far as I can tell. They have no reason to align themselves with Gensokyo, unless Gensokyo proves valuable against the military.
Edt: Oh yes, Junes. Will they enter the television. Etch-E-Sketch told me of his desire to have the pirates raid the electronics department, taking the television the party entered through.
I have no idea how Yagi will treat his orders, but the hierarchy states that he must complete them. He may break if he feels that he is being denied his long awaited duel, probably if Qwai shells the town.
He seems a bit more honorable than his profile "will use every available tactic" would suggest.
Mitaka, I think, will feel both relieved and even more useless if Gensokyo gets a hold of portable mana generators.
I think that the pirate buggies will break the Yakuza siege in an attempt to loot the store. The yakuza are a city fighting force, not suited to the armored warfare of the pirates and Qwai.
I do not know why Koji even fears anything in this world, his power level, taing into account the seal, is enough to pop the world like a soap bubble.
The military will respond to all disturbances, so keep a look out. A siege by the Yakuza will warrant a scout team.
Alex just went though hell to save lily from a Yakuza guy who shot lily black and both almost died if it wasn't for alex Transfering Lily black injury to himself and Alex's youkai bloodline powers saving his ass but he's gonna need time to full heal from it.
expect more humor from Alex's party until alex recovers has it will shift to Lily Black Daiyousei and the 3 fairys helping each other to help nurse Alex back to fighting form.
Hmm, I was hoping you'd be able to help us out a bit more (to keep the team together) but that's fine too. Just make sure you can make it to Amarillo's store in the evening. That gunshot was pretty bad.
Please note that it was an entire shipload of questionable reading material, including such titles as PlayMaid, Sexy Devil, Librarian Love, Drain Me! Mistress Vampire, and Can't cut the Tentacle amongst others.
Got my little bit done; I'll probably be off for a while... But don't wait up if you have places to go; the Library group can sustain itself for a bit. I'll be back!Sure. You'll be back. >_>'
Well done, Kojiro... This is more than enough to work with. I may even be able to set off as an advance group towards the combat area or shrine with this much... We'll be seeing everyone else soon!
nemoma's archive is missing several posts of mine?
i'll get to work eventually on "fairy harem" timeline but thats gonna be annoying to do.
I am going to have SO DAMN MUCH to catch up on.
However, for the Gensokyo faction's name:
"Gensokyo Liberation Front."
"... what?"
"... no, we aren't liberating anything. What's a better word for... oh! Restoration!"
"Why are you making us sound like some sort of terrorist group?"
"Because that's what we are.
Or 'freedom fighters,' if you prefer that term for it."
I'm probably going to read the whole thing, or at least all the parts I have any sort of relation to. I just... need to actually finish my day-late paper I should be working on.
Also, has Maribel's relation to Yukari been explained yet, or can I make a suggestion about that via PM?
Look, if you don't want the magazines, just get rid of them. you don't have to keep them.FUCK NO, I'm not selling them. If I did that, then a lot of mindfucks will take place. D<
Hell, sell them for profit if you want.
just a question how much info do i need to put into the timeline?
Suggestion: Kill the Pirates?
I just realized something.
We placed a WASTELAND next to a small town, 3 hours from Tokyo.
NO ONE has noticed a great fricking desert right next to a small town with a lake, nor have they noticed large landcrafts rolling aroung the area.
hmm...
since you and 34 are doing tanks(http://filesmelt.com/Imagehosting/pics/471b434fb20970cf3387b4a3624a7835.gif)
just the location, time and day #
try to basically look at all your posts and see where and when they took place is all.
Btw Poor Lily Black. that made me tear a little hehe.
Why you gotta hate, man?Raided mansion, remember? Lucky we weren't prepared for that. XD
What did they ev-oh, nevermind.
But don't kill them just for that!
I hope you guys liked the music i posted in my part a few posts back ^_^ I listen to that stuff all the time and i think it fits the mood of my character and home rather well hehe its a remix of megaman x music but its so jazzy and transient i frickin love it ^_^

Call it the Gensokyo Liberation Army if we're running with this theme.
OwlBear, do you mind the fact that I just saved you from Yakuza with idiots?Ara? Oh nah, I don't mind, I'l have to rethink my next post a bit, but it's alright with me.
just curious, that's all.
Anyway, anyone online and available to start moving to the meeting point at Tourist Helpers?It's too dangerous to go alone, even with two packs of things to take.Patchouli, Koakuma, and Jan are pretty much ready to go, and while I don't necessarily have to wait for the others in the mansion, the overloaded leader of the group can't do too much in the way of combat but beat with a stick or poke with a switchblade... Especially while carrying his load and supporting two magic-users.
Just put alink to the other thing then when you're done.
Would you like some help from some friendly neighborhood PIRATES?!?
( I really don't know where this pirate obsession came from... )

If and when we move this RPG to the new forum, do you all want to just continue it? Or shall we reset it, post new stuff and repost old stuff from this version as we go along? Most of us will have plenty of time over summer break so I think it'd be possible. If we do the latter, I'll be able to properly organize and plan everything this time. Thoughts? Discuss.
the IRC channelWait, what?
"Satori.
We don't need to interrogate anyone.
We have a fucking MIND READER."
Anyway, besides E-Nazrin, who else still needs to get caught up to those of us at Night 2?Probably me. Last I checked, I was still running around on a train at around 12:30. I'm probably going to finish the train event now though(unless someone else wants to).
Anyway, besides E-Nazrin, who else still needs to get caught up to those of us at Night 2?
my group is heading there now with Zei Gpop and Jan. its 9pm for my story so if we arrive "late" that's fine
my group is heading there now with Zei Gpop and Jan. its 9pm for my story so if we arrive "late" that's fineYeah. We're heading there as fast as we can.
No Suppers, everyone.Why?
Yeah. We're heading there as fast as we can. Why?
Actually Satori wasn't in the hot Spring gang on Day 2 Morning.
Plus, Satori needs to know what questions to ask so that the one being interrogated will think the correct thoughts. At least it saves Nemoma's character the Mana needed to force the truth out of someone... Although there still isn't a way for us to have them go back as the sniper did. Plus, Satorin's mind-reading would take the Mana of her mater to accomplish. It's the best we've got, though.

I have slight feeling without MTG being available it will be hard to stay on track. Even I lost the storyline a few times which I had to read several times over to type my own or adjust myself. I don't know what Xan and TranceHime will do now. I'll view it for the time being.
I was hoping I could be dragged by MTG so the regrouping would actually occur so we can continue our true goal which is restoration of Gensokyo, or finding out who is behind this, why and how. But we don't seem to get there yet.
I myself can't be that active anymore aswell after two weeks when school starts to get annoying again.Quote from: Mind The GapIf and when we move this RPG to the new forum, do you all want to just continue it?

If that occurs someone else have to play Taihou or I'll execute my character development + story in one post which then automatically people can take over Mokou Keine and Sakuya.
I do believe the Outcry Incident referred to in his profiles refer to that forum game in the last forum.
link: http://old.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1850.0 (http://old.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1850.0)
:V @ E-Nazrinwat
I did say 'anything goes', but please keep it believable.
Again, I can't emphasize this enough, it's highly important that we stick together. Fragmented storylines are difficult to follow. The purpose of an MMORPG is to play together as a group. Stay in groups of at least 3 whenever possible. More is preferable.
And it seems GPop's user account is normal again..Good news at last! Once Gpop and Zei are at least caught up, the whole Opposite Mansion group can go to Tourist Helpers and wait for the rest. I'd really like to get some progress done today, and it looks like it may be possible now...
IRCI don't use it often, but if you get a channel set up, I'm sure I could set it to open up automatically, like what E-Mouse said his setup was like.
Actually same thing I am wondering, what is the sudden hype with Grand Theft Auto, Battlefield, EVE online, hypertechnology, star-wars/trek, Command & Conquer alike elements? Aren't we all supose to be mere "humans" or youkais who trying to find the true culprit behind Gensokyo collapse and restore it? Someone explain me.
Butler group is still lost because it is supose to meet up with team Fubar.
It is good that you are ranting MTG therefor I'll quote my own post again because I didn't receive a reply / info about it yet.

Sorry, Nemoma, I'm altering things a little again. I read over your posts and nothing suggested you were alone in the Tourist Helpers store so I sort of inserted us in between your posts. So now we're at your store, ready for the meeting.
I'm just going to use her to help me out, that's all, and develop a friendly relationship with Jan.
I promise no MANNOSUKE will appear in this RPG, ever.
Several minutes later, Rika was asking me how I'd managed to get her latest invention moving again.
I didn't feel like explaining. "Manliness."
I stepped past her to...
Mannosuke flashed into my head. I quickly tried to drive him out, and saw Satori turn slightly green.
Oops.
Too late :D
How noisy are the tanks being? I swear, if anyone's making a ruckus that'd point out our presence...quite noisy. and that's why you slow down their speed near enemy so you won't get detected. but oh god, Abrams is the noisiest when you remove it's turret.
Actually It's only a way to make games funny, such like TANKS......Fun is no problem at all which we add regular but I was more talking about the different story plots suddenly popping up.
And it will give the enemy a reason to be strong -- if the Enemy is strong enough to destroy Gensokyo, then it shouldn't be roam down with a group of powerless humans, right?
Good that I'm ranting? XD Was it really that bad? ^^;; *is worried* Sorry if it was.It wasn't bad. It was just we were losing track before and as I explained in my previous post.
And I strongly encourage you to join us there, even if it's just to take part in this RPG. It's a good opportunity to have fun and, as you said, improve language skills (though, Helepolis, I can't see why you see a need for that, your English is sufficiently good). It would do me a great honour if you and everyone could take part in the foundation of this new RPG venture.My grammar and spelling sometimes fail. And mostly having hard time trying to find the right word (slim vocabulary) >.<. About the moving: I don't know, it totally depends on my spare time and school. I'll see what I can do.
quite noisy. and that's why you slow down their speed near enemy so you won't get detected. but oh god, Abrams is the noisiest when you remove it's turret.Expect to be beset by Violence when I next see you. I haven't read the tank parts yet but making town-wide noise strikes me as a very bad idea if we're trying to avoid notice.
town-wide noisetanks aren't that noisy. even the ones in WWII weren't that noisy. the only thing that makes town-wide noise is the cannon.
OI!
Wait a sec here.
Ria WAS on board the Sky Ray. I can be flexible.
HOWEVER!
There was only one buggy involved. Any others would come to help out a buggy in trouble, with their own buggies. Ria, however, would not hesitate to blow a captured buggy into small pieces of scrap metal.
ALSO!
Ria IS a great pirate, but no pirate in their right mind would make themselves sound like a magic girl from a cheesy anime. How did she go from a calm, gun-crazed captain of a Land Cruiser to a MAGICAL GIRL?!?
I do not see her declaring her name to petty thieves.
you're just jealous
And a sleepy little rural town may have yakuza, may have rival inns, but I somehow doubt it would have a batallion of tanks. Rika's tank is plausible because it's Rika. Other tanks....not so much. Please provide a good explanation.
Who?that question wasn't even needed.
Thanks Mind the Gap for taking care of Team butler for a while. Now I finally caught up again with the entire storyline. I could fit in my story right after Amerillo's. Hope you don't mind I took over the cooking, since you were having trouble with it =P
There's only ONE true tank.two tanks enter one tank leaves...
There's only ONE true tank.
Goddamn it, timezones.
Can't contribute for the next 12 hours.
In the Opposite Mansion bunch, Zei's group is poised to leave. Gpop is still a few hours behind, but Kojiro and I are ready to move out as well. Since Gpop's next move will involve Patchouli, I think it may be necessary for me to wait and see what he wants to do... (Considering he just left off around 2 PM and Jan didn't even appear until 8:30...)
Aye, Keep the tank of Rika, destroy the wasteland and everything else hyper-modern. I still find it extremely unsuitable for a Touhou Gensokyo based story.

BE PATIENT!
all will be done, eventually.
Wait a bit, and that will be resolve.
Jalal asked the question and Amarillo turned to Jeremy to answer it? a minor detail that should be dealt with somehow.
Edit: laughing at McWallace portrayal. Well, he was built so that it was nigh impossible to get out of character.
I'm hoping to keep working on catching up, but that was too good a point to end a post on.
I'm afraid the nickname was short-sighted of me, since I didn't focus as much on the actual appearance as having yellow hair and, apparently, psychic powers - based mostly on metaknowledge, unfortunately.
Paula (http://earthbound.wikia.com/wiki/Paula) is the token female of Earthbound (http://earthbound.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page). Earthbound is basically the game that got me online, and the source of my online alias (exit mice). Paula is a young girl with yellow hair and psychic powers.
Conclusion: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二⊃ ブーーーーーン!!!!

I can't believe I had to actually look up "how to play poker" on google in order to write my last post. :SI've done this countless times before only it wasn't always poker I had to look up, in one instance I looked up 'how to hand-wash clothes' in WikiAnswers.
There are older guys in the RP, surely some of you know 麻雀?
Japanese ruleset with automatic tables >_>
Oh, wait. Super bad luck?
hehe too bad Shinjiro took Tewi. Then you'd never have to worry about Luck ever again.
Edit: Speaking of which, make sure you NEVER play a game with him XD you won't have to worry about your luck since you'll know he's taken it all to begin with hahaha.
hehe too bad Shinjiro took Tewi. Then you'd never have to worry about Luck ever again.If someone had Hina they should probably stay FAR away from any form of gambling. Sure, she absorbs curses but that doesn't stop her from springing a (curse) leak...

holy shit. that's one uber bad message. ._.
So all 4 of your sites are fricking gone now? that sucks all in the same day? man Hina must be nearby or something. Well that sucks >_> Truly.
I am just wondering if MTG, Xan or TranceHime ( who is sleeping I think ) can give us small hints of what the next key event(s) is going to be.
Ah, fuck.
Can't make a story post for a while if the layout is fucked up like this.
Same here -_-
Looking over Mitaka's cat level...37 out of 96 seems late-beginning power-level, but Mitaka is suppose to be weak in power level.
How are these levels calculated?
Few questions then
What can one cat power?
What can the average human power in comparison?
How much mana does it take for a human to survive, even barely? (I'm assuming that humans also need mana to survive, but they generate more than they need. On this basis, I built the anti-magic gas's lethality to humans.)
Will a full overlord then, have a powerlevel that's OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!! (joking)
What happens then if two characters linked to the same source gain over 50% syncronization?
However, when there is a huge surplus, say Mitaka produces 1000 cats of mana, the amount of mana the girls can get depends on their sync. Say Alice has a sync ratio of 5%, she would only be able to syphon off about 30 - 40 cats of mana. Something like that.
Quick question: Are we supposed to be putting up our own Cat numbers? I'd imagine Jan's isn't very high, since he contracted Patch&Koa about 30 story-minutes ago.
I meant that, suppose Alice had 69% and Marisa had 70% how much mana, out of a pool of one thousand, would each have, since 69%+70%>100%. I understand that such levels are nigh impossible, but I'm curious.
Might want to check the math.
From what I understood, the 100% of the player character's Mana is split evenly by the Touhou characters and the PC. For example, if Jan has 100 cats and can perfectly split it with his two partners, then each would have 33.3(repeating) cats to use.
Although, there is one more issue: MtG's cats split leaves him with -1.4 cats, so I guess I may have missed something.
Hmm, me no get funky cat math -\(o_O)/-
I have a question; say the girl receiving the mana is, in hindsight, a god (Shinki). Would the amount of mana needed to sustain her be higher than usual or would it be the same as say any of the others.
If is indeed higher, then Owlbear's mana reserves would have to be at least 40-50 at the least and that's probably not counting his physical endurance levels.
We have seen Mokou using the flame barrier and Sakuya a weak version of her Timestopping. Taihou was instant K.O.
Don't dwell on the maths too much. Doesn't matter, really.
....
[Story Thread]
Oh, wow, when did things turn out this way?!
Somebody just explain.
Hey Taihou started it haha XD
Oh boy.
Well i was thinking of Tsukihime when Taihou was fighting with his knife so i had a knife duel with him haha. and i was thinking of that song i posted as well so i guess the son was to set the mood of the entire battle. I hope it was entertaining. i was making my post and others were posting at the same time so i had to make a change here and there. I was gonna include Alex for example but he wanted to stay out so i had to delete/edit an entire paragraph XD ahhah. Then Hirowaza and Aramillo attacked so i had to incorporate that into too. i think we should say here when someone is posting or something so others can wait accordingly XD especially if we're all in the same place at the same time haha.
For the more astute, there may be people wondering what the hell "Deathly Attraction" is in my posts... I will edit my profile in the thread to talk more about Hirowaza's secrets over time, well, it will be explained once Taihou is knocked back into his senses.
Ah do you mind if I copy that idea of yours? Revealing in the profile thread over time the characters history/personality?
maybe it's the place to say it but...
is there a chance to join in this RP?
PS Someone has to seriously lecture Taihou for his acting.
Claimed.PS Someone has to seriously lecture Taihou for his acting.
I'll do it myself if I ever catch up, but character-wise I'm probably going to be flipping out at such security breaches until we're in good enough fighting condition to handle a small-but-decently-equipped army.

exorcism, freemasons style
And done.
Me thinks we're moving to the shrine, oh yes.
Kojiro, you're free to invite Pearl over.
Carry on, ladies and gentlemen.
Mechanic: So, these are the aircraft you had in mind?(http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee253/splattergoomba/laff.jpg)
Ria: Yes. They should have a code name. I've got it. "Orca"
I just went along with what you wrote: that is, the spirit that caused the deathly attraction in Taihou jumped to Hiroko, but the imprisoned spirit (let's just call him Az for now) was too strong for it to gain any foothold. BTW, Hiroko's suggestion in post 100 was pretty fitting. More will be revealed asI make shit uptime goes by.
monty python ftw :V
@MTG: Who won't react to a punch to the face? Anyways I don't want him to have ZERO confidence. But I want to show that he DOES have some confidence, and it should improve as he now has a temporary grudge against someone.
@ MTG
Yes, I need Miguel's reaction(or lack thereof) in order to proceed.
@ Rabbit
Same with Ben
I do have plans involving at least Team FUBAR being at the shrine at 7:00 AM Day 3 if that's alright.
I won't raid your shit again, as far as I can forsee anyways.
Thus, the only place that Taihou would be in Amarillo's Attic, where he was bind to the roof...I sense an error in Taihou's situation. (I just got suddenly this image in my head, drew it in 3min)
*SWEATDROP*
Tie him seated against the wall then. Else it looks like sadistic torturing. . . Either way it is torturing! But better than hanging at the ceiling.
Edit: I'll go modify slightly my post to avoid plot holes.
**mega blush**
Ahem, yes. Err... I modified my post nemoma, please justify if I did it correctly else I'll adjust once more.
That's the thing, I (personally) wouldn't react to a punch to the face XD Yeah, I'm that much of a pacifist. And since we play as ourselves (sort of), I base Mitaka's reactions to situations on my own. It would have been a different story if you had punched someone I (or Mitaka) cared for though.
Plus, though he can be painfully sarcastic (Okazaki Tomoya style), he wouldn't outright insult people and comment on someone else's 'pe...~'. That's distasteful XD
Anyhow, that's fine, you provided me with a great plot device ^^
?Your sister is a walrus!? Mitaka began. ?You have bad breath that smells of roadkill! You're a waste of flesh, a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You're a stench, a monument to stupidity, a big suck on a sour lemon! You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't spit on you! And what meaning do you expect your delusional self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake? I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes well beyond the comprehension of mortal minds, a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed in upon itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid that has become so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your though processes must be a troll upon this planet, inviting the wrath and ridicule of all it?s denizens. Prior to your existence, nothing in our universe was thought to be quite this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. You are some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me."
??.? A deadly silence fell as Mitaka finished. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the shoe to drop, for the milk to be spilt, for the monkey to grasp the banana, for the Jets to win the cup?.
Suddenly, steam exploded out of Hiroko?s head. A shape, reminiscent of an agonized screaming face, floated amidst the steam, ?Y-you haven?t seen the last of me?! If you think you?ve won, you?re?.?
??.and your father is a chipmunk, and your grandfather smells of elderberries.? Mitaka finished.
FINAL PROJECTS OVER
30-PAGE CATCHUP WRITING IS GO
THIS WILL TAKE ME A WEEK OR TWO
OH GOD WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO
(Such as Jeremy pitying Mitaka and respecting Alex and will probably hate Jalal and 34 once I get around to explaining him finding out what they've been doing.)Can't promise twice.
Or type a huge wall of text post that covers everything within like . . . 10.000 words ? XDWhich ends up never posted?
Amarillo may or may not pop up right under the male hot springs, ending up draining out the entire bath XD.
[What's the age rating of now? PG? XD]Very much now. Just exclude one of my posts about
Very much now. Just exclude one of my posts aboutMURDERINGbloody self-defence.
I actually had my char walking the backyard of Tourist Helpers, and found an undetonated 250kg incendiary bomb from Tokyo halfburied in the ground. Removed that post because it was kind of... shitting on the moment.
A bomb will post no difficulty for someone from 21XXYou will certainly die from it within 35 meter radius in an open space. My char only got 7 meters away, so...
Year twothousandsomething?
that means my tractor is 150 decades obsolete
DEAR GOD
Having a 14-year-old girl appearing in the male side of hot spring will bump up the age rating A LOT.
Don't do that, for the age rating's sake. XD
[What's the age rating of now? PG? XD]
Right. I'm having a hard time getting caught up here. I haven't forgotten you all. I'd like to see Aya using her spped in a combat context, and am working on that.

DEAR GOD
No, we're not in year twothousand something. Amarillo is a time-traveller from the future. Said future has been 'destroyed' by a major history shift, by the way (Sorry for doing that, but I wanted to see how Amarillo would react to that. Can easily be changed if it interferes too much with your plans, Nemoma).
OH WAIT A NUCLEAR BOMB?This is a 250kg bomb being dropped from a Stuka:
Then better stay away from it.
Mitaka's 'power', if you could call it one, comes at the price of his sanity and mental stability which just can't keep up with the pressure and burden of his rapid growth (which is also further damaged by the contracts). This 'power' is essentially available to all average human players who face great demands and experience hardships and overwhelming pressure to survive, i.e. it wouldn't work for superhumans as life for them is easy enough as it is.
Alex has a pretty plausible explanation - he's been training in martial arts and ki-control from childhood.
Jeremy's power(?) is attributable to his 'drill' which amplifies the mana surge from his emotions and feelings. As a consequence, any drop in his mood can have disastrous repercussions.
Mitaka is (at the moment) a fast developer who develops fastest in dire situations due to emotional and physical stress, especially when near death. It is a culmination of the high mana demand from his contracts and a strong pressure to survive. Essentially this makes use of the game's mechanics, where any physical and mental development also increases your mana stores.
Hiroko has some sort of dormant 'psi' power which an inner alter-ego of hers has decided to suppress to protect her (I think).
I'm not too sure about Yoh's powers at the moment, I haven't read the new additions to his profile just yet. But it seems to have strong repercussions when used.So I can't classify this.
Taihou's powers come across to me as a sort of 'dark side' potential. Some external force promises him power in exchange for his allegiance to the dark side. I can't think of a suitable analogy, really. Won't say more for fear of spoilers.
Owlbear seems to be attempting to artificially increase his own mana circuits....something that may prove rather dangerous in the long term. Archer-Shiro much?(...)
Jan seems to have started off with a higher than average stamina level for your average human being.MMORPG Definition : Every other class besides Mage.
Zei has a midnight lost child within him, an artifact that allows him to regenerate mana to max level at midnight every night. However remember that the Midnight Lost Child isn't an inexhaustible well of mana (if you're going by Shakugan no Shana). If you happen to run out of mana during the day, you die.
Owlbear seems to be attempting to artificially increase his own mana circuits....something that may prove rather dangerous in the long term. Archer-Shiro much?Yeah, I was going to do that, but decided not to for obvious reasons (You can't increase the amount of Magic Curcuits you have, the number is pre-determined at birth, and can really only be increased through a transplant). If I still pursue this, I'll probably have Owlbear replenish mana by eating sweets (yeah off the wall, I know). Otherwise his mana will increase by the means of physical training and, maybe, by killing his opponents in battle (for that was the Makai Kingdom way of gaining mana)
Ok done
@ Nemoma
Forgive me, but I didn't see the warning. I was writing the story when you posted.
So that is already happened, now you have done it,
the age rating goes more towards R = =|||
AJC please check your PM, I am still waiting for an awnser =)

SHE CAME ON ME!!!
Well, they did escape another Sanctuary. The only way they could have do it is with a battlecruiser. Barely managing to escape, the cruiser was converted to run on land. However, other capabilities were incorperated in case serious stuff happened.
That sound barely plausible.
I'm straining to figure out how it would fit in the lake, though.
I thought we agreed that the wasteland, pirates and those sky ships would be shot down from the story? Or did I missed someting here again.
Reading nemoma, AJC and Etch's post made me confused aswell.
SHE CAME ON ME!!!Dood, that's great. That's FUCKING great. ._. Remember to paraphrase shit that's gonna sound wrong. Why? Cause it sounds like you two were-- ._.'''''
Done.Is Erebus there too? (joking)
Explanation:
We are onboard the Sky-Ray all-terrain battlecruiser. However, we are now experiencing something called a 'dark storm', a placeholder name until I think up something cooler sounding. These are small random pocket dimensions that appear from time to time, analagous to the Dark Hour in Persona 3, the descending darkness of Silent Hill, the 'Psyren' of Psyren, or 'Closed Space' in Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. They are remnant dimensional rits left behind by the collapsed sanctuaries. They contain large amounts of dark corrupted mana which empowers the remaining memories left inside, twisting and corrupting them, causing them to manifest themselves as twisted 'zombies' of fairies, youkai, humans, and others from the collapsed sanctuaries. Only those who have been exposed to sanctuaries or are contracted to sanctuary refugees can experience them.
Now try to survive.
Current plans - go about it as you see fit. No need to wait for me as I'll be a little busy.
We fight our way to the bridge. Please don't finish this all in one go. Give everyone a chance to fight a little. Feel free to explore the ship a little, take refuge in a few rooms, take breathers, whatever. You get the idea. The dark storm will dissipate around the time we reach the bridge.
I've left the rest of the instructions to TranceHime/Velvet Silk. He will adapt, alter, or add to the plans as he sees fit.
6) Etch, I've just sent you a PM. We really can't capture the Dauntless. It just won't make sense storyline-wise. And as I said in the PM, with reason, we won't have a need for it.
Well, there goes the Port Royal scene. I had it all ready to post too... :'(
Oh well, I can work with this.
Is Erebus there too? (joking)
Anywho I can work with this, I initally didn't have written up for day 3 anyhow so this should do me some good.
Also I'm tempted to pull Shinjiro and his crew into this since RAI is involved in the attack, but I dunno how it'll work if I do that.
MTG, about Day 3..
I got a problem. ._.' No, it's not the battlecruiser, it's well......my character.
The hell would I say 'good girl' after every time Flandre ask me if she did anything?
That couldn't be like me, right? Anyway, If we're on Day 3...then... ...then.. MOTHER FUCKER.
Koji, we need to get to guys at the battlecruiser right away, as soon as possible.
Dood, that's great. That's FUCKING great. ._. Remember to paraphrase shit that's gonna sound wrong. Why? Cause it sounds like you two were-- ._.'''''

I kept it SFW before the dream got out of hand. If it's too much, please tell me so I can edit it differently.
Wait... But Zei, Kojiro, and Gpop were all back at the mansion at the start of Day 3. Did they all just decide to go somewhere else, or am I missing something?
I'll wait a while before posting; looks like I'll be busy today too.
No you didn't. We got a major Yukari story gap here. The story has too many plot holes. Koji, Zei, Gpop's teams are in Opposite mansion. They could be never at the shrine.
Erebus?This.(Warning spoilers for Person 3 FES) (http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Erebus)
I was thinking the transplant route ala Shirou. Or arm graft if you prefer XD.Yeah, I think I'll be able to pull something together, the consequence could most likely be the cavity he has in the left side of his mouth, the simple notion of brushing ones teeth to avoid getting more cavities, or the whole Sugar Rush then Crash thing.
Sweets work too, I suppose. As long as you think up a plausible system for yourself (which doesn't involve godmodding) and, preferably, a consequence from over-using it.
Luck is really against you isn't it nemoma >.< did you anger Tewi or something?
My story is finished. Read with caution =P
I wake up and found these things,
Firstly, the story has gone much further than I excepted.
Secondly, MY WEBSITE IS DOWN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D*MN IT!
That means the archive site is lost, Luckily I backed up everything, including plugins,theme, and the content of story.
I'm homeless on the web again, somebody save me!
Yes, I believe you mentioned the "heroic saints" back in the old Shine Maiden thread... It'd be interesting if something new happened. What's going on now is certainly good for the story, but I ended up trapping myself...
Anyway, if it takes too much longer, Patchouli could just get concerned that no one is showing up, and Jan will see what's wrong the second he steps outside... That could do something.
a religious order led by an angel who fights on behalf of 'justice and LOVE!'Fixed. :P
Fortunately, Youmu's owner as of morning Day 2 left an opening for my clothes-shopping scheme. This is fortunate.
Currently poking around with my next post with Xan. Should be able to speed it up a bit once we get with the train ride, then jump to the party.
Though, if anyone would like to write up how one of the participants in whatever-the-hell-happened-with-tanks-and-pirates would explain what happened with that, I would appreciate it so I don't have to dig through 50 posts to summarize and try not to mangle the character's description of it. (This is pre-party for Jeremy to get pissed and know about the incident for the paranoia MTG wrote in for me. I'm working on some of the other stuff I'm supposed to know with Xan.)
No, you could still be at the Sky-Ray. Remember, I adjusted the time stamp to allow you to be there with us. Just write yourself in as if you've always been there with the group ^^.
I'M BACK!
uhh..I still have Youmu with me ya know? o_o She's still in my party. I can transfer her to him but we need a good setting to do it with.I know, I'm still writing back-in-time catchups. This is about 9:30 on Day 2, which seemed to be omitted from this post (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=100.msg2144#msg2144) unless I'm skimming far too much.
Kojiro, you wouldn't happen to have a place in the mansion with weaponry, would you? Jan would rather show up armed, since he'd have no way to know about the weapons on the Sky-Ray.

I wonder if the solution involves gathering all the memories (since that is what we needed to revive Gensokyo) and using them to fuel a gigantic spell that resurrects Gensokyo.
You know, I think involving huge open military operations in the first place was a serious problem.agreed >_>
If you don't mind me being an ass.
And I will nick-name that spell Jet Enduro...
Okay, I make way too many references...
Ok, suggest a change?I'll just stick with it for now. Not gonna be all that bad. Right? Cause then the story would be fucked up and another Yukari gap would take place, also along with yet another Time Paradox, and we would NOT want that to happpen just like the day of the Suwako incident. Trust me, you don't wanna see an angered Flandre. She'll kill even if she tries not to. ._. Other than that, we're probably ok for now at the battlecruiser scene.
We can probably still work with that, if the Sky Ray sinks into the Saniwa Lake (not sure how deep it is, but let's just say it's deep enough for it to sink to the very bottom, the cast could forget about it and then later once the enemy pulls a giant battleship out their ass we head back and salvage the Sky Ray and pimp it out Lagann style.
At least that's I think, anyways.

"...You've been Gp'awned!"
MTG
you do know that coolant is poisonous and corrosive, right?
Oh god what?
Depends what sort. You didn't specify.The very light blue/cyan like in Blue Shift. That was poisonous as hell.
Okay...That still leaves the Suzaku, the Dauntless, and the Dominion mobilized. Why is the Dominion MOVING? That was set down as the new base. The Dominion moving in concert with any other mobile fortress is going to have the support of the others. Also, if the Dominion is moving, the town is the new wasteland. A "There wasn't one before, but there is one now" sort of a thing.
I worked on the port scene with Etch, I'll send it to you later when I have access to it.
So you still have the Suzaku and Dauntless to deal with. The Yamato was specifically mentioned as present as part of his deployment forces. The Suzaku being present means that serious s*** is about to go down. Along with obelisk of light support from the Shinigami and anti-magic gas support from the Yamato. The Sky Ray must slip away from this engagement or face being flooded with napalm.
If the ships come from a wasteland and are on Lake Suwa, they have amphibious capability. They can still squash the town flat. My biggest problem is the Dominion moving since that means that the Council 42 said "f*** it, this cloak and dagger capture mission is not worth it. Crush them like insects."
EDIT: Um...Owlbear? The RAI were ordered to sweep up after the Suzaku flooded the decks with burning napalm.
EDIT2: Bah, this new shaping has imprinted itself deep in the story. I'll modify the briefing again. The RAI better be equipped with the special uniforms designed to handle being covered in napalm and gas masks.
That was lousy.
Flashback some time in Gensokyo
I can't believe it. I never thought Kaguya was like that. Mokou is going to be literally eaten alive. I'll eat this history so it never happened!

In any case I nixed Shin's part from my initial post and will edit/post in my next one. (Being I have to get ready for college and I don't have much time to edit it fully)

"Sorry, but I'm a vegetarian!" Gpop shouted, swinging his machine gun out and firing an entire clip into the chimera's mouth.
It's less "flashback" and more "catchup," but whatever.
But mark my words, one day, I'll be right for once and you'll regret it!
Do I sense ominious foreshadowing?Actually, it was supposed to be a humorous thing, but it kinda does sound like foreshadowing now that I look at it again. :S
So should I post the PMs we just exchanged on the matter?
Not really sure about that...
Anyhow since Kojiro has been whining at me about Youmu ownership etc, if Youmu appears not in conjunction to myself, assume it's really Myon ^_^
Hooray forNo, you need to activate the valve and the gearbox to flush it down!suicide rushesdistractions! With attacks on more than one side, we can take down this thing quickly.
I am not Etch! dammit
I merely worked with him on that port scene.
The Dominion and the others, save the Sky Ray, are my creations!
Though, he is somewhat right about the shield generators. We planned for the Domimion's shields to be taken down with a grand spark from the true hakkero(the one as big as a small house not Marisa's MINI-Hakkero) and nothing less. The Shinigami and the Suzaku were armed with weaker versions. The Dauntless and the Yamato not at all. I think a final spark should deal with the weaker shields.
Is that over-powered?
:> Yay character dev't with Taihou / my own character.
Team Dai-yakuman and Team butler are cool da ze! We are not even at the bridge yet. I'll now write my post so we head to the bridge. MTG can finally conclude this all then.
Off to write.
Ok, so I'll just write up my next post assuming you'll be in the bridge?
Hey Xan, Inspiration struck and it told me that for Yuyuko and a beast constructed from memories of being eaten or one you care for being eaten to be on the same ship and not meet is a horrible travesty. One that I will find out how to mend, unless anyone else wants a go at it.
Edit: I'll let you write what was happening when they were interrupted.
Alrighty, I wrote up another huge wall of text. But now I have an unconscious someone to carry and save.
I hope there is some residential rooms on-board.
All battleships in all robot-related anime/manga have some.
In the state that Sky-Ray's in, I don't think it's safe to keep her in one of those rooms =/
Whoever write up MANNOSUKE:
There is no Mannosuke the character in-story, the male that is currently at Tourist Helpers working as the clerk is called Rinnosuke.
That's it.

Madness chaser, I would aprecciate it if you do not hijack my characters without my permission.Sorry. As you wish it, it shall be deleted. I'm not exactly sure how it conflicts with what you posted as Sho did have to stop her from eating an old Manjuu. Fresh meat would probably be safer than partially rotted meat. Also, I did choose the time so that Sho would be able to do some chatting with Kogasa. It was just one of those things which burned at my mind.
Especially since that conflicts with what I'd already posted.

Mmmm... I'm no technical expert, but what port are you using?
I don't insist on IRC, either - if there's any chat service that we could all get to work...
MSN or online chat-rooms......
Said of chat rooms. I have one.

Go to the address, ignore the twitter login and put your name (it could be anything as long as we recognize it's you) on the top of it.

By the way, Jeremy, I'm not entirely sure about this, but I was under the impression that the chase scene over at Maribel's place takes place before the yakuza and our team landed on top of your train? Or did I read that wrong...? I'll have to go back to that later...
Anyhow, the tank stuff doesn't really affect anyone else aside from Etch and ThirtyFour.
Everyone else in the team fought off the yakuza and ended up in the river. They swam ashore and stayed over at Amarillo's Tourist Helpers till late evening for the meeting. Some stayed over, some went home. Then day 3 started.
He was in the mess hall. You somehow teleported him to the hanger.
I said that he was in the mess hall which was above the hanger. One of the shots went stray and crumbled the floor under him, thus causing him to fall into the hanger.this is the most poor layout in a ship ever
this is the most poor layout in a ship everWell...we never saw a map of the ship or learned where things are in relation to each other. Until etch tells us where everything is, I'll shift around the terrain as needed.
[Rant mode] Actually there wasn't any ship to begin with. MTG kept it in to avoid breakdown of the storyline. [/Rant mode]And how is that a bad thing?
[Rant mode2] I also don't understand why Etch and Madness cannot add your timestamp, starring teams in your story posts. I am always seriously lost whenever reading your story posts[/Rant mode2]Don't know how you got lost at that short posts.
And how is that a bad thing?- It makes no sense within the original mission.
Don't know how you got lost at that short posts.Define "short" please.
I apologize in advance but I can't ask for permission to execute major plot devices with each individual character here because I'm essentially using everyone. I'll make changes after if you happen to not agree with anything I write in for your character.Why are you apologizing? You are the GM. You clearly posted everyone should head to the bridge and await the final conclusion, I didn't see you reporting anything of some Behemoot or whatever it is called monster harvesting there. Yet I don't understand why some people simply cannot follow that.
- It makes no sense within the original mission.Confusion part was just...well. We kinda had some difficulty back at the mansion and as of now, all groups are at the battleship. Story should flow perfectly now.
- It drags making it impossible to develop characters proper.
- It messes up the main plot.
- Unwanted key events / story shifting
- Confusion (ex: Zei/Koji/Gpop Mansion before --> Ship after )
- Want me to go on with this list ?
Define "short" please.

Because it takes 5 seconds to read what teams are involved in a post to see whether you should find it important, vs. 2 minutes to read a short post and decipher who's involved and where the hell they are.cluelessness at RP etiquetteWhy bother with timestamps?
A highway by Lake Suwa,
A modest farm truck was slowly snaking its way up towards the small town in the distance, little Karuisuwa, laden with a cargo of hay for a nearby farm. Atop it, nesting amidst the hay, was a small figure dressed in an inconspicuous blue denim dress, her straight brown hair hidden underneath a wide-brimmed white hat.
?There?s hardly anything interesting in Karuisuwa, young lady.? The old wizened farmer behind the wheel wheezed. ?It?s such a sleepy little town.?
?Ummm?.? Chloe shielded her eyes from the sun as she took in the scenery, before suddenly giggling happily, mostly to herself. ?I like this place!? She chirped, stretching luxuriantly as she took a deep breath of the lake air.
?Oh??? She blinked, noticing something odd about the lake. There was a disturbance in the air. It wasn?t obvious, not to a lay person at any rate, but a mana-sensitive like herself could feel it in her soul. ?Fumuuu?? She narrowed her eyes on the source of the disturbance. She could just barely perceive a hint of a dark mana somewhere in the lake?.and yet nothing was visible?which mean someone was hiding something?
?Someone?s hiding something from me. I don?t like it when people hide stuff from me.? She muttered to herself.
?What was that, young lady?? The farmer asked.
?Is there ice cream in Karuisuwa?? Chloe asked, with cheerful anticipation.
?Well, I?m sure there is.? The farmer said. ?I mean, it?s not THAT backwards a town?still, can?t imagine what business a city girl like yourself might have there.?
?Plenty!? Chloe said happily, falling back into the hay. ?Plenty, plenty, plenty??
==========
?Yukari, you know what symbol this is?? Jeremy asked, gently running his fingers over the symbol on the mana generator.
?This is the symbol of the covenant.? Yukari said. ?Legend has it that millenias ago, before the age of the Lunarians, there was a great nation of humans and non-humans. They were united by the covenant. It?s just a fairy-tale now though, to teach children to be nice to one another and respect diversity and stuff like that.?
?Sounds like a rather unorthodox children?s fairytale. Don?t we usually teach children that youkai are out to eat them?? Jeremy raised an eyebrow.
?I suppose.? Yukari said. ?Probably a good reason to believe it may be more than just a fairytale.?
?This one?s a beast youkai, I think, judging by the tails.? Jeremy said. ?And this one?s a tengu, I can see the wings. This one?s a kappa, this one?s?.probably a ghost or spirit, judging by the lack of defined legs. And this is?.a dragon?
?I feel a little guilty?? Remilia said.
?Really?? Jeremy asked, though he was mostly preoccupied with inspecting the mana generator.
?We let the others run off as bait to lure those creatures away?? Remilia said.
?And what were you planning on doing? Scare them to death?? Jeremy asked, raising an eyebrow.
?I?m not that helpless.? Remilia said indignantly. ?I?ve got a weapon. It?s called Kojiro.?
?haha?.thank you, Remi?.? Kojiro chuckled heartily at Remi?s joke from where he stood watch by the blast-door.
?I believe that Ria girl uses this machine to power the ship and supply all the mana the crew would need to survive.? Jeremy mused. ?If we can get this to work at the shrine??
?I wonder what it runs on.? Kojiro said.
?That Ria girl said its output is at 10% of its optimum capacity.? Jeremy said. ?Something about it declining due to the low ambient mana. So it probably amplifies ambient mana or something like that. That?s why it shut down?it functions in the presence of pure mana. It can?t work with corrupted mana.? Jeremy paced around the generator. ?If that?s true then if we bring this back AND activate that old leyline?.? He looked around at Kojiro and Yukari.
?That?s provided we can get it to the shrine. Have you forgotten where we are?? Yukari asked.
?Any chance you can ?gap? it there?? Jeremy asked.
?Sure, if you think your life is worth a mana generator.? Yukari shrugged.
?Thought so.? Jeremy said grimly.
?So this was built in times when mana was more abundant then.? Kojiro said. ?Wait?.doesn?t that mean it was built at least hundreds of years ago??
?Maybe even further back.? Yukari said. ?The Lunarians reverse-engineered the first mana generator 7000 years ago. Considering the symbol, it may have been built by the original covenant.?
?Seriously?? Jeremy chuckled. ?Hahaha, if something like that really existed??
?What?s this?? Minoriko asked, poking Jeremy with the radio the team had wrested from Ria earlier. ?I think voices came out of this earlier.?
?Oh? A pocket radio.? Jeremy said irritably, turning it on. ?I?ll explain it later. For now, let?s see if we can get through to anyone else?This is Jeremy from the reactor core. Anyone hear me? Come in. If you hear this, respond and report your status??
Static filled the room for a while before?
??Oh? This radio works? Ehem?this is Mitaka. Team FUBAR, team Freud, AGH! Watch out! It?s coming this way! Laser! Laser! Dude! That was my foot! No! It?s your fault, lollipop!? Mitaka shouted.
?Oy, deodorant, if you could focus??? Jeremy asked. ?I need your status.?
?Ah, err, team Lunatic, Jan?s team and team Tank are with us. We?re in the hangar and we?re a little preoccupied with a Panrupillar. YES! It?s a panrupillar! Not a catterandus.? Mitaka seemed to be speaking to someone else. ?No, no, not a walterpirus either! Why? Because I say so! Wait, don?t attract it this way! Keep it away from the tank! Ohgodohgodohgod wegonnadiewegonnadiewegonnadie?.? The transmission cut short.
?That was quick.? Jeremy said.
?At least we know they?re in the hangar.? Kojiro shrugged.
?Umm?hello? This is team Tourist from the Infirmary on the upper deck.? Lily White?s voice came over the radio, somewhat high-pitched and panicky. ?Team Fairy, Austin?s team,Team Freud, ummm?.Team Jealous Fever, Team Makai and?uhh?team Yakuman, and team Ghost-buster have all pulled back here. Some of us escaped from the bridge?I think the monster that was there is now fighting that evil pirate woman and her friend. ?
?What?s the situation with the enemy fleet?? Jeremy asked.
?Out of my way, Lily. Hey, this is Nitori.? Another voice came over the radio. ?The enemy fleet consists of three ships. They?re holding their positions around the Sky Ray. The Dominion is directly in front of us while the other two have us flanked. They?re only observing us, though. Looks like they think the dark storm?s enough to keep us down.?
?Phew?? Mitaka?s voice came over the radio again. ?We did it?.we finished off the Panrupillar. Right?err?what?s up??
?Good, listen up.? Jeremy said. ?Ok?guys, we need a plan. It doesn?t seem like they?re going to allow us to escape alive. Plus they?ve got us covered on all sides sneaking away doesn?t seem like an option. Fighting back is obviously not an option.?
?No shit, Sherlock.? Zei said from the other side.
?So we need to somehow fake our deaths?? Jeremy said. ??Nitori, do you have the ship?s schematics??
?Yes, right here.? Nitori said over the radio.
?Good. Now, lend me your brains, people. We need a plan.?
====
?Ok?that?s the plan?? Jeremy said through the radio sitting on the table around which the group was sitting. On it was spread the ship?s schematics?though it now bore many scribbles and highlights, showing ad-hoc modifications and plans. ?Set your watches to 1030 hours?now.?
?This is the hangar team?we?re about to set off for the reactor core.? Mitaka?s voice came over the radio. ?Everyone?I know this sounds silly but?.don?t die, ok??
?Worry about yourself.? Taihou suddenly laughed, a little nervously. ?Your team?s got enough to worry about.?
?Still?if I could?I?d take your place, Taihou, Hirowaza, Amarillo, Kojiro, Zei?? Mitaka said. ?It looks like I?ve got the easy piece??
?We came up with this plan together.? Hirowaza said. ?And we agreed on it. Everyone has their own role. You have yours.?
?Don?t underestimate your task, Mitaka. Yours is anything but easy.? Yukari?s voice came over the radio. ?If anything, I?d like you to stay back and focus on surviving. Reimu?s survival is central to Gensokyo?s restoration. But that?s obviously not possible. So whatever happens, stay alive. If you die?I won?t forgive you.?
?Same goes to you.? Mitaka?s voice replied. ?You and Jeremy have got to survive. Not just you?everyone, we?re getting out of this alive, not just for ourselves, but for Gensokyo. Mitaka, out.?
?See you on the other side.? Zei said, patting Kojiro on the back.
?Hey, don?t make it sound as if you?re not coming back!?
?The corridor is clear.? Alex said to the others. ?Let?s move.? They trooped down the corridor, quiet, solemn, nobody daring to speak a word. What can you say, really, to people who may be dead in a few minutes time?
?I don?t see why I can?t be down there with you guys.? Alex muttered as they reached the large service lift down to the engineering deck. ?I can fight.?
?We?ve been over this already.? Hiroko said. ?It?s important that some of us survive. Remember, as long as memories of Gensokyo exist, we have a chance at restoring Gensokyo.?
?You guys have the biggest responsibility. You guys have to survive. If anything happens to us?.? Owlbear began. ?Well?it?ll be on your shoulders to restore Gensokyo.?
?Be ready to retake the bridge. Once we?re done, you need to try and restart the engines with whatever mana is left.? Zei said.
??.hey!? Sho called after the descending crew. ??stay alive.?
?Got it.? Owlbear threw a thumbs up.
=================
After the hangar teams picked up team Drillkumo at the reactor core along with the mana generator?.
?Damn that Ria?.she even brought my Challenger II onboard!? ThirtyFour laughed manically as he tugged the gear handle violently. A godawful screech filled the dark corridor as the tank made a physically impossible 90 degree turn at 60 mph. They paid no heed to the small cannon fodder creeps milling about the corridors. One moment they were there. The next they were lining the tank?s tracks and greasing the floor.
?Akh! Watch it!? Sanasan shouted as the tank?s sudden lurch caused him to loose his grip on his wrench.
?It?s done!? Rika shouted from where she, Sanasan and Eirin were bent over the Sky-Ray?s mana generator now strapped to the back of the tank with copious amounts of duct tape, chains, more duct tape, and?.bubble gum?.
?We?ve done what we can.? Sanasan said.
?I?m not sure it?ll work?? Eirin said, wiping the sweat off her brow. ?I just adjusted the wavelength polarity of the receptors?? She began to explain.
?Only one way to find out?? Yukari said, grimly, before nodding at Jeremy, who nodded back, with a similar expression of grim determination.
?We?re nearing corridor C3 of sublevel 4.? Jan reported, trying to make sense of a blood-spattered map they had nicked off the wall earlier.
?That?s where those men?err. Frank and Cab-whatshisface, reported that incoming anti-mana gas and spreading fire.? Patchouli said, urgently. ?Jalal!?
?Come in, little pirates?? McWallace said into his radio. ?Frank, do you read me? How are you holding up??
?I think we?re?? Frank?s voice came in, before a huge KABOOM came through the radio, threatening to implode McWallace?s eardrums. They felt the tremor of the explosion run through the entire ship. ?AGH! They?ve blown through!?
?Nothing stands in MY way!? Yuugi?s voice roared over the radio.
?We?re pulling back!? Frank shouted. ?We can?t hold our position. AGH! The napalm?s back!? The radio transmission cut.
?Well, we were expecting this. Time to enter phase 2 of the plan.? Patchouli said, receiving grim nods of affirmation from Jeremy and Yukari. ?Jan-san, are you ready??
?Ready as I?ll ever be?? Jan said, grimacing nervously. ?ETA, 1 minute. Jeremy, Yukari.? He looked over at the two as he folded the map up and handed it to Koakuma. There was apprehensive fear in their eyes, mirroring his. But they had decided on this. They had to go through with it. Jan carefully crawled back towards Eirin, Rika, and the generator, doing his best to keep his balance atop the violently swaying and shaking tank. He positioned himself beside the reactor with Jeremy while Patchouli climbed up to the front of the tank. She found a stable spot by the main gun and decided to hold onto it for dear life as she awaited her turn. She found Marisa right beside her, on the other side of the main gun, awaiting her phase of the plan.
?Run that plan by me again.? Sanasan said to Jeremy, desperate for anything to take his mind off the wrenching feeling in his stomach. ?All you told me was to help rewire that monstrosity.? He jabbed a thumb at the generator.
?It?s a mad plan.? Jeremy said grimly, shaking his head. ?But it was the best all of us could come up with together.?
?You know how a submarine works, right?? Renko asked.
?Yes.? Sanasan nodded. ?But this ship is anything but a submarine.?
?We?re going to turn it into one.? Renko said.
??wait, how?? Sanasan began, before colour drained out of his face. ?You?re not going to??
?It?s going to be very controlled. We?re going to seal the lower decks on the port and starboard sides and we detonate warheads there to let water in, turning them into ballast tanks to sink the ship.? Renko said.
?I see.? Sanasan said. ?So that?s why you confirmed with Nitori earlier that the ship is watertight.?
?But, unfortunately, all the warheads in the ship are mana-based warheads, meaning they all ran off mana from the generator.? Renko continued. ?I?m still not sure what that ?mana? thing is, but I gather it?s not electricity.?
?Right, so that?s why you wanted Eirin and Rika to rewire the generator to run with this so-called dark mana thing.? Sanasan said.
?Actually, no.? Yukari shook her head. ?According to that kappa, all the warheads are primed to work with neutral mana, not dark mana. No, we want the generator for a different reason.?
?Wait?so how are you planning on detonating the warheads in the lower decks?? Sanasan asked. ?Wait, humans produce mana, so?? Suddenly, realization dawned on his face as he turned to face Jeremy and Mitaka. ?You DIDN?T!?
??.I?m afraid we did.? Mitaka nodded, darkly. ?Yes, they?ll have to be detonated manually.?
=====
Starboard Side, Lower Engineering deck, Featuring Kojiro?s team and Hiroko?s team.
BWEEN?BWEEN?BWEEN?
Sirens blared as the huge blastdoor leading into the starboard engineering deck slowly unlocked itself under the power of Minoriko?s mana. Red lights flashed, casting ominous shadows across the two teams.
?Heh, an entire ship that runs off mana?? Kojiro sighed, shaking his head. ?It?s been a long time since I last saw such a peculiarity??
??? He looked around and noticed that Remilia was giving him a rather apprehensive look.
??You don?t have to come with me.? Kojiro said, suddenly. ?You two can stay here. I?ll give you two a huge boost of mana to keep you alive while I?m away. I?ll call someone else to come down here?.they?ll be able to form new contracts with you in case?in case?? His voice faltered. Such uncertainty?it was new to him. He has never cared much for his life, nothing much had ever mattered to him before?.but now, there was?there were people depending on him?and such uncertainty! So much hung in the balance?it was difficult to explain?
?Don?t you dare.? Remilia said in a threatening tone, glaring up at him. ?Don?t you DARE leave me behind! Where you go, I GO! Who do you think I am?! A frail princess that needs protecting?! Think again! I?m the SCARLET BLOODY DEVIL!?
?Hahaha?yeah, I sort of forgot?.? Kojiro chuckled. ?I just?don?t want to see you two get hurt?this isn?t your fight??
?It is our fight?? Minoriko?s voice was almost a squeak, but Kojiro could see it took her a lot of courage to even manage that much. ?We?re fighting to survive?for Gensokyo??
?Kojiro?what I don?t understand is why you have to go on this suicide mission when the others are getting off easy.? Remilia said.
?I helped come up with the idea!? Kojiro said, his voice filled with self-loathing and blame. ?I?ve practically helped kill the others. The least I can do?the least I can do is put my life on the line as well!?
??.very well. Then your fate will be mine.? Remilia said, placing herself beside him. ?We fight together?but we?re definitely not dying here! Don?t you dare try and be a martyr!?
?Got the warhead. Oh, and this side of the deck is clear.? Hiroko said, coming up from behind with Parsee and Iku in tow. They had the warhead on a trolley behind them. ?At least we won?t be jumped from behind.?
?You three don?t have to go with us as well.? Kojiro said. ?I?m sure I can do this by myself.?
?We don?t know what lies beyond that door.? Hiroko said, simply. ?If one side fails to blow, the entire plan fails. We need the insurance.?
?Very well?but let?s get one thing clear. This is NOT a suicide mission. We?re all getting out alive.? Kojiro said as the door finally started to slide open. ?Heh?sinking the ship after making them open fire on us and faking our own deaths?.what a crazy plan?? Kojiro said.
The door groaned under its own weight as it lifted to reveal?.
?Not more of them?? Hiroko sighed.
Hordes of creeps were waiting for them, lining the entire corridor towards the detonation site.
?Let?s go then.? Iku said, offhandedly, as they stepped through the door.
?Seal the door, Minoriko.? Kojiro said.
?Y-yes!? Minoriko squeaked, sealing the door behind them.
?There?s no turning back now?.? Parsee said. ?Let?s go!?
guys, I apologize once more. My internet is about to cut-off in 10 minutes (stupid dorm rules) so I wont' be able to finish the post. Actually, I think it's best if you all write up your own parts in this to make it more personal.
Here's what I have so far:
Essentially, this is the outline of the plan. Alter things as you see fit.
1) Team FUBAR, team Drillkumo, team TANK, Jan's team, Team Lunatic, and team Starlight are atop ThirtyFour's Challenger II tank which the pirates have apparently brought onboard. Their plan is as follows:
a) They will turn on the mana generator and absorb all the dark mana in the dark storm.
b) Jeremy will channel some of that power to allow Yukari to form a border around all of them to hopefully protect them from the high concentration of dark mana. This means Jeremy will take the full brunt of the dark mana's damage. He volunteered to do this as it was his plan and he wants to take responsibility.
c) Jan will channel some dark mana to allow Patchy to use wind magic to blow the anti-mana gas and napalm out of the way.
d) once they get to the bridge, Mitaka will channel all the remaining mana to allow Marisa to fire a Dark Spark at the Dominion to attract their attention. Hopefully, this will cause the enemy fleet to open fire on them.
2) Team Freud, Team Shakin', Team Fairy Harem, and Team Tourist aren't at full fighting strength or are incapacitated so I've left them all behind in the infirmary...unless they want to get involved somehow.
3) Koji and Hiroko's team will go to the starboard engineering deck while Owlbear and Zei will go to the port side engineering deck. They will seal the bulkheads behind them and manually detonate warheads down there and attempt to turn the lower decks into ballast tanks to sink the ship. They will also try to escape and stay alive, off course.
4) Taihou and Hirowaza's teams will enter the middle engine room in teh ship's rear and detonate a warhead there as the ship begins to sink to make it seem as if the ship exploded underwater, thus masking their escape.
That's the plan.
?Umm?hello? This is team Tourist from the Infirmary on the upper deck.? Lily White?s voice came over the radio, somewhat high-pitched and panicky. ?Team Fairy, Austin?s team,Team Freud, ummm?.Team Jealous Fever, Team Makai and?uhh?team Yakuman, and team Ghost-buster have all pulled back here. Some of us escaped from the bridge?I think the monster that was there is now fighting that evil pirate woman and her friend. ?
What of Ria and RAI?
The GM leaving team Ghost Buster out of his plan could mean that you have a blank check to do as you will.
You've forgotten me >_>.
I have suddenly realized that my flashbacking is probably doing terrible things to the segmentation of the story. If MTG wants me to, I can try and push a fast-forward on it as much as possible and try to actually catch up. Or am I being amusing enough for it to be worthwhile, even if I'm just feeding my perfectionist tendencies?
Also, I may want to write how Jer pulls in that 'dark mana' (speech, methods, etc) if MTG's willing to leave the method ambiguous for the post of impending doom.
Near Lake Suwa, At a bridge

Sorry. I'll try toning things down.
COUGHETCHASKETCHMADNESSCHASERCOUGH) to seriously and carefully think about plot devices before
That's fine. It's my fault for not setting things out properly in the beginning. We'll sort things out better from now on ^^.
EDIT: Also, the point is not to tone things down, but to keep things in perspective. If it's going to be really major then discuss it with other players. We're playing an MMORPG here, meaning we play together as a team.
Right, this forum was created as a response to the rather alarming amount of suggestive material in our RPG. So now whenever you feel the urge to write anything NSFW, write it here.QuoteDISCLAIMER: BY REGISTERING AND POSTING ON THIS BOARD YOU ARE DECLARING THAT YOU ARE OVER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND THAT VIEWING NSFW MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED LEGAL IN YOUR LOCALITY. YOU ALSO AGREE TO FOLLOW THE FORUM RULES.
BY VIEWING AND POSTING ON THIS BOARD, YOU AGREE TO IN NO WAY HOLD THE BOARD AND ITS ADMINISTRATION TEAM RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED AS A RESULT.
When you get to a scene in the main RPG that would be most definitely be NSFW, write the following:
(Following Scene continued on WD-EX - scene code [player name]-[scene number])
Afterwards, you would post the NSFW scene here with the corresponding scene code ([player name] [scene number])
So if, Heaven forbid, I myself ever feel the urge to write something of this sort, it might look something like this:QuoteCommand Deck, Sky Ray, 10.43 AM, Day 3

(Following scene continued on WD-EX - Scene code Mitaka-1)
Whatever you do, don't let any of this material spill out onto MoTK.
Also, I believe some people may be a little more pervy than others. If your post contains things that may be offensive to others in some way, post a warning at the beginning of the scene.
Thank you, and have fun.
And be careful MTG....i dont' know how some of us feel about it deep down but this kinda sorta indirectly (or directly) inplies a little lesbianism...This is Touhou. What are you worried about?
This is Touhou. What are you worried about?
I don't know. just throwing that out there.if no one cares...because it is touhou then by all means carry on ^_^ (my wayward son)
"Beating up Eirin and the fairies for making everyone lesbians and bullying her into making an antidote" may be a good way to represent this.If it comes down to people trying to beat up Eirin, McWallace will come down on them. Hard. Eirin is a lunarian that was not trained in a Earthling's Western style medicine. That means she never took the Hippocratic oath. You see what kind of a fight it will be. Also, I already mentioned tentacle pills. Tentacles plus magical girls...
As I said, just started day 4 to give people something to do. If you want to continue expanding day 3 then that's fine as well....Lemme just get something outta my system first...
And yes, everyone has just been Ranma'd, or as Zei put it, Yagokor'owned.
The drug only works one way, male to female, so a) your partners are still female b)you can't take another pill to turn back.
....~fun~...
Why did it end up like this?Wasn't that the very reason why the NSFW site for this was created? So we can post whatever nasty junk we want there and not here?
Also while we try to reduce NSFW, this storytwist only lures NSFW.
This is kind of contradicting. MTG said himself that inserting keyevents/storylines should be discussed first before execute. So why is that not being followed now?
And opinions differ. I'll speak for myself (even though more people now complain about it) that I totally dislike this.
This is like the Sky Ray ship. It is rather annoying than entertaining. And the question is: How do we turn back to normal? Is the shit we drank/ate permanent or does it weirs off after like Day 4.
It is not I cannot work with this. But it totally goes against Taihou's man-hood. Last thing I want him to act / dress as a woman. I still heavy object.
didn't exaggerate
This is my impression of the reactions to MTG's genderbend post:
(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/9394/bawwwwwbunny.jpg)
it's just a game, lighten the fuck up
Besides, ONE of those pills in Eirin's possesion has to be the way back.

That means she never took the Hippocratic oath. You see what kind of a fight it will be. Also, I already mentioned tentacle pills. Tentacles plus magical girls...Being outnumbered 10 to 1 is a nontrivial disadvantage. But yeah, we'll see how this pans out.
McWallace and Eirin are ready and waiting for your assault.
TEAM MERGE REQUEST:
Etch, if you don't mind, I request a team merge of Marx's team and team TOURIST.
You can stay at Tourist Helpers and Amarillo will pick you up.(During the afternoon or evening of day 4.)(Why is the above statement looks like a mission briefing or something...)
(Why is the above statement looks like a mission briefing or something...)
evening I suppose, but elaborate on Team Merge.
Does Marx's Team get absorbed or do they simply hang around?

In other words, can I still contro Marx and Cirno?
Once I'm done my latest entry, feel free to do what you please with Arreku, meaning you can do what you can recruit him into your team, have a brawl with him, ect. Just be sure to abuse him as much as possible (in this way, or that way... Experimentation is a must.)
If it goes to maids, I expect this transformation for JalalThere will be no on assaults on anyone. It is going to be comedy and fun. Nothing serious cause else that would be a storyshift. And by (ab)using I meant more like mentioning your characters and putting them in a scene where everybody else then continues to control. I am not going to activly play them, that is up for the original users.

I'm okay with you taking him for the task. Though if you do use him, would you rather I tell him that there is not going to be an assault on Eirin or you deal with that?
Hmm, maybe my secret passage could lead to someplace near your house? Assuming that it isn't too close to the shrine.
Aah, you messed it up!
I JUST altered the exit of the tunnel, everything after that will not change.I mean, it's alot less likely and doesn't make much sense if he gets to my house like that, rather than mysteriously showing up in my backyard...
I mean, GPop can walk or by whatever means, to your home. After exiting the tunnel and punch Amarillo on the face(without knowing it at the time),

Correction! You altered ONE exit. I was planning on multiple exits before then, so if anyone discovers the tunnel, they wouldn't know which exit to take to find them. Well one of them could be the shrine. That'd make sense, but I can still plan the other exit near Arreku's house =/.But... you already got out of the tunnel... Why would you need to use it again?
But... you already got out of the tunnel... Why would you need to use it again?
We had a choice of choosing one of the many exits. Now we'll go back and explore the other exits =/.I see, I see...
All this would be told when I post my part though.

I hand wave the power armor and attached equipment away. They never happened.
I already murdered a half of you
EDIT: EHEHEHEHHHH, this maid competition is going to be FUN. Arreku is one of the most popular maids at the @Home Cafe (look it up), so he's very skilled at all these things (one has to be to please lonely businessman and perverted otaku). Team Ahoge will be taking a backseat for this on the roof (and outside the windows if necessary) to watch the fun, think of them as commentary. PLEASE PM ME IF YOU PLANNED TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH AHOGE, I AM WILLING TO ADJUST TO YOUR NEEDS.
Um... When did Ria become a guy? She happens to have many guns on her person. She would have killed the attacker quite quickly with another gun.Oh... Wasn't Ria the one with the sword to Kisume and Kaigomi's throats? Maybe you should have specified their positions and stuff more...
Also, everyone there is a girl now, thank's to the breakfast scene. If you read the thing
Edit: Also, the gun and the sword weren't touching. Static electricity takes only one path, and it's the quickest one to the ground.
Edit2: Also, what about his team members, since that sort of a thing would be considered an attack. If Arreku attacks while the other two have swords at their throats(the sharp part btw), I don't see a way for them to survive without help from the Gensokyo faction, who you just attacked.We haven't attacked the Gensokyo faction yet, but we WERE planning to. Also, lightning reflexes easily take care of shocked (ahaha) opponents.
We haven't attacked the Gensokyo faction yet, but we WERE planning to. Also, lightning reflexes easily take care of shocked (ahaha) opponents.
I also explicitly mentioned that he was very fast and agile, did I not?

Oi, a) nobody dies (or is de-limbed), and sex-change wouldn't be much of a problem... However, I will prepare to be owned and own back, you'd be surprised at how hard Kaigomi can push Arreku, and how this directly affects his determination... It's a battle of will!
Gack! I edited my post! We can be friends if we talk it out! Think of being his superior, he'd do anything for you!
I actually had the intent of joining with the rest of you the entire time, but if you'd rather fight than add a unique and powerful (not to mention an excelent comedy act) to your team, suit yourself... (I really wanna play with you guys...)
Y-you can't joke like that with text!!
I need to go throw up...
Don't mean to sound rude or anything, but who the hell's Team Lucky Strike?
Putting aside Xan's verbal barbs there...
Pedo, the lesson here is "look before you leap."
Ara... But he would react in that situation like that, but discussion is required. I'll make up for it.
It up to you, really.I never noticed this, but... they're so similar!
Besides, Arekku's entire character would, theoretically, offend my character's own.
So... Expect some tension anyways whether you like it or not.
I never noticed this, but... they're so similar!
But I guess a girl/boy of similar build as you would be offensive, wouldn't it?
No, not because of that.Oh now I feel bad.
It's because Hirowaza was raped because of his build.
Oh now I feel bad.
When he was 10 years old, to boot. He has a right to be traumatized when he sees people like that...On the bright side... Plot devices...!
I'm surprised that no one in the shrine is questioning my disappearance.
I'm surprised that no one in the shrine is questioning my disappearance.because being away a few hours is totally a disappearance

There goes the whole point for Ria. Marx not so much, as her gun runs on MANA.
Oh well, Ria has other tricks up her sleeves, not involving guns.
...With all due respect, didn't the Sky Ray have a manufacturing facility capable of producing ammunition for said guns?Wut? Whut? WUT?
I was mad about memory hacking. I liked the guns. Especially the Ripper which only got one mention.
Since everyone ignores Team Lunatic's presence in the Dining room, I think I'll also engage Team Ahoge. Warning, I'm not as nice or civil as Team Pirate.

Right, regarding guns, let's avoid using them if at all possible. As someone up there mentioned, the point of the game is to rely on our own strengths and that of our partners. Think Fate Stay Night, Pokemon, Digimon, and stuff along those lines. Guns make things too easy. They lack honour and finesse.Was me and the only weaponry that should be allowed should be katanas / knifes or other more "realistic" items. Take Koji for exampe: He had katana long before thus he carries it around. Same goes for Hirowaza's switchblade which has been around. But popping out guns in Gensokyo is seriously not making sense.
...With all due respect, didn't the Sky Ray have a manufacturing facility capable of producing ammunition for said guns?
Anthony and shotguns
Guns in general, againWorth noting is that Japan has rather restrictive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics#Japan) gun and weapon laws, making it unrealistic for a local to get away with it (interestingly, aside from a hunter's shotgun). Keeping them well-hidden in, say, the Covenant base, where they could only be used for extreme emergencies, would probably be a wiser idea. Unless we want the local police on our case as well as the yakuza.

GPop mana plothole/"what"I have a possible plug for this, but I'm not sure if it'd work. Gpop, if you have an explanation in mind already, care to PM it to me and MTG?
oh on that note about characters...While I understand not wanting to put every detail about your characters in your profile post to keep some surprises for other players, the GM should really know if there's anything that might be important to the main plot.
@Gpop
10000 cat levels? Remember that in Touhou canon Sakuya only has about 73 cat levels. You can't be 130 times as strong as Sakuya at full strength when you claim to be a normal human being.
Gpop's mana level was supposed to be unique in this sense. But right now he has no power to control such a thing. He can not control the amount of mana he could carry, so it's fluctuating at an alarming rate.Uhh, maybe once Arreku's met everyone, he could come and help you... You'll need to stay put for a while, though.
And don't worry. He won't be able to solve it anytime soon. But it'll become very troublesome though, but not atm.
I was thinking of using this "secret passage" related to the RAI force. Of course, I won't fight them alone, and the exit could be located near the graveyard or wherever they all meet up. Or maybe it's a little too soon?
Uhh, maybe once Arreku's met everyone, he could come and help you... You'll need to stay put for a while, though.
I designed Arreku as a sweet, loving and sensitive character, being treated like this from the very beginning is just unacceptable.
The RP does not revolve around you, the actions that are being done would be the natural reaction.
"EVERYONE GET READY, WE'VE GOT INTRUDERS!!"
Nobody got stripped naked. You should read more carefully the story post.That's the thing though, nobody's been discussing anything. I'll get rid of the second part, but now that you've got something to say about it, SAY IT! What is it that you want to do!?
Besides I don't get why you let Mokou announce this:
Why are you trying to move the storyline while we are trying to hold it so people can catch up and discuss a bit what is going on. Or did I missunderstood something here?
That's the thing though, nobody's been discussing anything. I'll get rid of the second part, but now that you've got something to say about it, SAY IT! What is it that you want to do!?

Sakuya then announced the rules: 'The rules are easy: Each two persons along with their girls will be competing. The Jury will be: me, Youmu, Ruukuto and Yumeko. Nobody is allowed to interfear except the competing ones. Cheering and motivating or coaching is allowed. No special powers are allowed such as danmaku, flying, extra strenght or other overpowered. Upon cheating you will be disqualified and lose a point for your team. The team with most points at the end of round 5 wins.'
Everybody nodded and started shaking their arms and shoulders or cracking knuckles, staring towards the oposing forces. This was going to be HEAVEN OR HELL. May the best maid team win!

-------------------------------------------
Note:
- Please post in order as displayed above. You must automatically grand usage of your characters if this is required.
- Allow both competing sides to post something (half half) decide by pming eachother who makes the "finishing post" for that round.
- Don't forget this is TEAM vs TEAM. Meaning involve your girls aswell, make some healthy competition out of it.
- I tried to make sure people have always a handicap. EXAMPLE: Taihou is not cooking/cleaning/robinhood. This would be lame, unfair and not amusing.
- Try to make your posts amusing, such as total embarassment or clumsy execution.
- I haven't decided yet who will win, but let us pray Mokou doesn't win before we all get abused
- Questions / complaints / disagreements? --> PM.
I'm... aware of that, but no progress has been put toward actually starting the events. Considering that there seems to be a rather long pause between actually getting them started, I had the idea of Ahoge being forced into the games too, after being chased, a good start to merging them with other teams...
What do you think?
It has to be done in order, is the thing. It would be started as soon as Kojiro/Zei make the appropriate post, which they haven't >_>Uh... huh. I wasn't saying it had to be done out of order, but to get Ahoge integrated before they start.
Anyway, I'm leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow (I have to get up in a little under 6 hours zz) so please PM things to me if you want to take up some stuff with me.G'night.
As a sidenote... Uhhh... (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OpenRoleplayingDecay)

You can simply act as if you were always with us. Hence the idea why most people have been catching up from Day 1 story.
What do you think?
Note: I have no idea excactly who is where now due to heavy clustering. Feel free to PM if want to involve tooBasicly only Madness had PMed me but I didn't get a single clue of his post. I don't want weird plotting or story movement. If you want to get involed I will add simply another round to the competitions when two teams fuse.
ummm friends? this is my third time sayin it but i have frickin finals here ^^; Like MTG. My finals are THIS week and his are next week soooooo.....slack please? ^^;In that case I will switch rounds so MTG Kojiro and Trancehime occur after some people which should give some time.
Session 4 ? Culinary Expertise
Stereotypical army bootcamp marching song plays in the background?
?All right you maggots, listen up! This here?s no longer pre-k. The kitchen is the woman?s battlefield, it is her pride, her joy, her everything!" Sakuya roared as she walked up and down the ranks of nervous-looking girls in traditional Japanese maid costumes (kimonos with aprons, essentially).
?Here, women are free from oppression! Free to do whatever they choose! Free to cook as they see fit?.? Sakuya said, with a faraway expression. Everyone was following her gaze, trying to see what far off paradise she was envisaging. ?BUT?!? She roared, causing everyone to jump in fear. ??With such freedom and power comes great responsibility! We women fight wars here against fire and salt, against dough and adversity!? She roared, causing everyone to flinch in utter terror. ?If you die here, nobody will come back to retrieve your corpse! Remember that!? She leaned in so close that her face was a mere inch away from Jan, causing her to lean backwards in fear. ?Upon us is that burden of serving the very best culinary delights worthy of the delicate taste buds of our masters, mistresses, and guests!? She screamed in Zei?s face, showering her with spit. ?We must prove ourselves and the pride of our kitchen at every turn as we pursue that every elusive new taste!?
?Wow?that?s intense?? Sanasan murmured. ??gosh, I?m glad I?m not in cooking 101.?
?I sure hope you know what you?re doing.? Renko sighed. ?Cause I don?t.?
?But?.you?re a girl!? Sanasan exclaimed.
?I?m a theoretical physicist first and foremost!? Renko cried. ?Besides, what got it into your head that ALL GIRLS have to be able to cook?!?
??.well?.? Sanasan shrugged. ?Err?.don?t all..err?.girls know how to..err?cook? Isn?t it something that comes with having two X chromosomes? You know, something in your genes? The cook gene. Y?know, that one gene that the Y chromosome lacks??
??.great, the fate of the team rests in our hands and NEITHER OF US CAN COOK?!? Renko cried in exasperation. ?Plus the other team outnumbers us 3 to 1. Don?t we get some sort of handicap?!
They both looked sidelong at team FUBAR?.who, were living up to their namesake very, very nicely. Alice was eyeing a pressure cooker with all the intellectual curiosity of a Neanderthal appraising a pencil. Reimu was glaring at the oven as if daring it to challenge her or explode for that matter. Suika was holding a spatula as if she had never seen one before in her life. And Marisa was experimenting with using her mouth to lift up objects due to the lack of arm functionality?.and perhaps that of her brain too.
Renko and Sanasan?s eyebrows twitched perceptibly. They
As for the team leader?.
?Don?t worry, Sanasan. I?m going to do this blindfolded.? Mikoto said with a friendly grin. Suika and Alice were holding her up by her shoulders. ?Marisa?s not using her arms, Alice is used to leaving her cooking to her dolls, and Reimu?.well?.she?s Reimu.?
?HEY! What?s that supposed to mean?!? Reimu demanded, indignation etched all over her face.
??and Ruukoto?s not here because she?s busy?err?.? She strained her ears for a bit. ?Ah, yes, Ruukoto?s busy keeping Sakuya and Yumeko from murdering the trainees.?
??.I don?t think we need a handicap?? Renko murmured. ?In fact I?m seriously wondering why the fire alarm hasn?t gone off yet??
??.that?s not making me feel any better?.? Sanasan sighed. ?Are you even FIT to be ALIVE, let alone cooking?? She asked Mikoto.
?The rest of the team?s working hard. I?ve got to keep up.? Mikoto said determinedly. ?Plus it?s good training.?
?Training?? Sanasan blinked, but before she could elicit an answer from Mikoto, Yumeko had stepped out onto the battlefield, carrying a meat-cleaver.
?Ready?? Yumeko tossed a watermelon into the air. ?Set!? She raised her meat-cleaver. ?START!? She split the watermelon in two.
The two teams blinked at the battle?s first casualty, the poor watermelon, looked up at Yumeko, gulped, and got to work.
====flashback===
A few hours ago, in room 202?
?Mukyuu?..? Patchouli murmured, her eyebrows furrowed in an expression of deep concentration. ?There really is nothing, I?m afraid.? Patchouli said finally.
?So there really is nothing?? Alice sighed. ?I know Makai mages have nothing for it.?
?I?m blanks toos, ze.? Marisa said.
??I see?? Mikoto bowed her head in disappointment. Magic has always seemed to hi?err..her like something omnipotent, something that will always have an answer to everything?given enough mana. But if even Gensokyo?s most knowledgeable mage was stumped?
?But that doesn?t mean there WON?T be something.? Patchouli said. ?Magic isn?t a static field. There?s always room for development and as they say, necessity is the mother of invention.?
?How do we do that?? Mikoto asked, suddenly enthusiastic once more.
?How am I supposed to know?? Patchouli asked. ?You?ve got two passable mages and a miko on your team, I?m sure they?ll be able to scrounge up SOMETHING. Contracts and mana sharing are something rather poorly understood as we mages have never really bothered with it. You may find something to take advantage of there.?
?Now, if you?ll excuse me, I have a massage contest to go to?? She said, as if dreading the coming of some evil entity out to rob her soul. And with that she left.
?Hmm?so how do we use our contracts to our advantage?? Mikoto asked.
?Fufufu?I have the perfect plan?? Marisa began. ?We?.psst psst psst? She whispered. Everyone bent into listen, nodding fervently.
??.you?re seriously going to do that?? Reimu asked, her eyebrows twitching.
?Hey, any port in a storms ze.? Marisa said.
??.Can I switch teams, please?? Alice asked.
??.I wanna do it! I wanna do it!? Suika leapt up and down.
?Umm?err?? Ruukoto looked around at her team mates worriedly. ??please?be careful?? She finally managed.
?All right!? Marisa grinned. ?That?s what we?ll do then. Team FUBAR, MOVE OUT!?
======Back to the present===
Unfitting music plays - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HGQS5XSoJ4
?And they?re off!? Aya shouted from her commentator box. ?First up is the soup. That should be easy, right? What does the head-maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion think??
?The soup is more complex than you think.? Sakuya began, steepling her fingers in front of her face. ?It initiates the gourmet on his journey of culinary exploration. It has to be enticing to his tongue, a prologue, a preview if you will, of the grandeur that is the main dish. The soup must be delicately appetizing in its own right but it musn?t spoil the main dish. It has to be planned well and coordinated with the main dish. A perfect balance of flavour and texture, that?s the key. And?.?
?Oooh?.!? Aya cried. ?Team Starlight seem to be planning it out all right. They?ve even got a blueprint out.?
Indeed, team Starlight seemed to be seriously appraising a blueprint hanging above their counter. It was either plans for a really interesting take on French Potage or an ion flux drive to send humans to Jupiter. They pointed things out to each other, argued, scribbled new annotations, took out calculators, punched out equations, wrote them down, argued more, before finally nodding and shaking each other?s hands over the blueprints.
??.It seems they?ve reached some sort of conclusion.? Aya said. ?As for team FUBAR?.?
?Zzzzzzzzzz?.daze? Marisa snored atop her counter, her eyes hidden underneath a wooly nightcap.
?It seems Marisa is sleeping?.? Aya said, her eyes twitching.
?Idiot black white! How can we sleep too if you?re snoring that loudly!? Alice shouted, throwing a frying pan at Marisa.
?DAZEEEE!? Marisa yelped.
?So much for diving. I knew that wasn?t going to help?? Mikoto muttered, shaking Suika awake from where she was lying comfortably in the oven. ?Oy, Rei?? He looked around and found Reimu curled up in a futon under the counter?.
?WAKE UP!?
?That should have been obvious. Diving only works when you?re ASLEEP! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO COOK?!? Alice shouted in Marisa?s face.
?Then it?s time for plan B!? Marisa declared. ?Battle stations, everyone!?
??.back to team Starlight?? Aya said, a little weary. ??.they seem to be?err?I don?t know, what are they doing??
Renko was using a compass to measure the diameter of a potato. Sanasan was taking notes carefully. She then raised into the light, turned it around so that it caught the light at different angles, before giving it a quick lick and smacking her lips appreciatively. Then she placed it in what looked like a make-shift mass spectrometer made out of an empty can, aluminum foil, and a dismantled microwave. Sparks and ungodly light filled the room for a moment. Then, seemingly satisfied that the potato had fulfilled whatever insane criteria she had cooked up, she placed it in a box marked ?qualified?. Next to it was a box marked ?Rejected? which now contained a tomato, an egg, a piece of celery, a leg of pork, a turkey, an elephant?s foot, a boar, and an upset-looking Minoriko Aki who was sniffling quietly with her back against the rejected boar.
??..aha?.ahaha?.ahahaha?.? Aya?s eyebrows were twitching dangerously now. ?Ummm?.I?m no master cook, but I have a feeling they?re doing something wrong??
?I see, that?s the Haversian method?? Yumeko?s eyes flashed.
?Whu?WHA?!? Aya blinked.
?Yes, yes, truly impressive.? Sakuya nodded. ?It?s an unorthodox method of cooking that had long been disputed, a brainchild of East Anglian Monks who perfected the method of quantitative cuisine management.?
??ok?.? Aya blinked. ?Back to team FUBAR?.err?.what on earth???
?Minds eye?.minds eye?.minds eye?.? Mikoto chanted over and over again as she groped across the counter.
?Open your third eye, see the light. C?mon baby, I?m on the set. Do the impossible, see the invisible, raw raw fight da POWAH!? Marisa rapped.
?Do you think this is working?? Alice asked, banging a wooden spoon against her pan, too frustrated to care. ??seriously, echo-location??
?It?s fun!? Suika laughed, rhythmically beating her saucepan with a hammer.
?Yes! This must be the pepper!? Mikoto declared, having found a tube of laxative.
?Oh wow, we must be beating the saucepan wrong?? Alice said. ?If we beat it like this?? She increased the tempo of her beating.
?Ah, and this is the salt!? Mikoto announced, holding up a bottle of cyanide.
??.we?re doing something wrong.? Alice sighed in defeat.
??.are they?cooking?? Aya asked, her hand grasping her desk for stability.
?I see, this is the long-lost Hoki-Doki style of cooking.? Sakuya said, appreciatively.
?WHAT?! IT?S A STYLE?!? Aya blinked.
?It was a cooking style adopted to complement blind-fighting. Hoki-Doki monks would go deep into dark caves to train blind-fighting, but they would continue their training while cooking as well. One of the highlights of this style is the complete avoidance of fire use to maintain darkness. The lack of heat created the need to compensate through flavour, creating a cold yet flavour-rich delicacy through a masterful synergy between martial arts technique and culinary prowess.? Yumeko explained in one breath.
?Ok?..and team Starlight is?.do I dare look?? Aya looked around?and immediately regretted it. She had to shield her eyes for fear of going blind.
Sanasan and Renko had donned welding masks and were applying doing *something* with a welding torch and a sledgehammer. Sanasan repeatedly beat something on an anvil with the sledgehammer while Renko applied the welding torch to it with all the finesse of a hippo attempting ballerina on a tightrope.
??.I?m lost.? Aya groaned against her desk.
?This is?.? Sakuya began.
?DON?T TELL ME THIS IS ANOTHER COOKING STYLE!? Aya snapped.
??.This is ironworking.? Sakuya finally decided, sweat droplets of apprehension on her forehead. ?Such technique. Such finesse??
?Indeed. Indeed.? Yumeko nodded appreciatively with all the air of someone utterly lost but is too much an authority to admit it. ??the hammer?and the anvil thing?and?err?.?
?Back to team FUBAR?.? Aya said weakly. ??.what?s going on there??
?Ten times clockwise, three times anti-clockwise?.? Alice chanted as she stirred the cauldron that team FUBAR has somehow managed to place atop the stove.
?Reimu Reimu?.? Suika murmured. ?That tomato is groaning.?
?Shhh?.? Mikoto whispered. ?I think sentience has evolved in there.?
?Will you shut up and pass me the sake?? Reimu demanded.
?But you don?t add the sake until?? Mikoto began.
?Just?.? Reimu grabbed it out of Mikoto?s hands. ??gimme.? She tossed a generous helping into the pan over the groaning tomato, causing it to scream a pitiful little scream of pain and agony.
??you killed it?? Suika said sadly.
?Well, it was going to dies anyways daze.? Marisa said. ?The cheese would have killed it at some point. I mean, look, it?s started to go to war with the celery.? She pointed out. ?I think the sake started it.?
?Looks like my onions have decided to remain neutral.? Alice observed. ??though it seems to be cannibalizing the remains of that tomato?.?
?Will you people shut up and let me concentrate on the soup?? Reimu asked, her voice shaking dangerously.
??..I?m?.giving up?.I can?t comment?? Aya moaned, looking around at team Starlight in a last ditch attempt at some semblance of sanity.
???.twice clockwise, three times anti-clockwise?.? Renko said, stirring something in a metal dish. ??and then spin at 300 RPMs?.? She added, turning on a centrifuge machine and emptying the contents of the dish into it. ?
?That sounds right.? Sanasan nodded with approval. ?And then we rapid-freeze it with liquid nitrogen.?
??.? Aya was squirming against her desk, unable to find words to describe the fiasco before her.
Finally?.
?And so we have the results for the soup!? Aya declared, her face twitching dangerously. ?Now for the taste testing!?
The audience took a gigantic step back...
?Team FUBAR will now present their creation to the judges.? Aya said as team FUBAR stepped up with a huge cauldron(?) of creamy mushroom soup(?).
There was palpable tension in the air?which was probably the noxious fumes from team FUBAR?s cauldron. There was a demilitarized zone around the cauldron that even oxygen and water vapour had decided to avoid.
?Cream of mushroom soup.? Alice said, flatly, gesturing at the cauldron. ?Who wants to go first??
Yumeko looked around at Sakuya?.who looked around at Youmu?.who looked around at Ruukoto?.
?err?umm?me?? Ruukoto asked, uncertainly.
?As good a warm body as anyone?s.? Alice nodded. ?Ladle?? She asked. Suika heaved a heavy-duty pholtic-resin ladle into Alice?s hand.
She dipped it into the cauldron carefully, eliciting a hiss and a huge puff of steam from the soup?s surface. The surface cracked under the ladle?s assault, allowing something that resembled soup?.and probably molten lava, out.
She carefully lifted a ladle-full over Ruukoto?s bowl. A small bead of soup gathered under the ladle and threatened to drip?
?the audience leapt for cover behind every available cover including the rejected boar and elephant?s foot.
?and it dripped onto Ruukoto?s bowl?.
?.rather harmlessly?
?causing everyone in the room to feel rather silly.
Alice casually let the rest of the ladle?s contents spill into the soup bowl before placing it reverentially in front of Ruukoto. ?Enjoy.? She said, with relish.
Ruukoto looked up at Alice, then looked around at her fellow judges who had abandoned her to her fate, around at her team who looked expectant and hopeful?
?she gulped?
?drum roll?
@PedonymousEheheh, remember, Ahoge attacks out of self defence. They don't feel threatened, and Arreku's too busy with Kaigomi to care wether there's weapons pointed at him or not.
Team Lunatic will only engage if Team Ahoge attacks Teams Pirate and/or Shakin. Resolve it peacefully and Lunatic does not attack. Even if Lunatic attacks, there will be no mind-destroying or body-bolting. Unless, of course, you seriously injure Kaguya. In which case, Arreku's life ends on Day 5.
Yes, not Day 4. Day 5. The execution will be long and painful. Bolting Ahoge to to ground happened when Eirin was being merciful. Hurt Kaguya and see what happens when Eirin is not merciful.
I count those electrical discharges as attacks. Same with kicks, punches, lunges...you get the idea.
@Heliopolis
He told himself that it would be a bad idea. Even if his idea for the soup happened, it would use up the soup's mana, not any of the player's.
@Anthony
Pray it isn't Team Lunatic that gets to you first.
Edit: Also, snaps at those complaining of cold? Wait until the air around you condenses from the cold. That would be an irony I find funny. Also, being used to cold mean that napalm will hurt juuuust a bit more.
Etch had Arreku and Kaigomi shout out that they weren't copulating.That doesn't mean they still won't be fighting...
Dude, You'd be an icicle long before the air around you condenses due to cold. Humans need special devices to get air that cold. Can he withstand being naked in Antartica at night? I'm pretty sure that would turn him into an icicle. The air does not condense at that temperature. You'd need to get even colder. Some gasses need to get down to 2 digits Kelvin. That is at least 281 degrees Farenheit below 0.
I see your point, though. This means he's much more vulnerable to fire than I thought.
Yea, basically you're right, and the fire things is going to be a main point as a weakness, and for something I was planning for later.You seem to be basing him quite a bit on yourself (not that that's a bad thing.)
Note: I'm somewhat basing the heat weakness and cold resistance on myself in real life, but then taking it to the extreme, in a way.
Umm...That wasn't Eirin right?BRB EDITING
I said they set up the ambush.
I suppose I could work around it. The only reason Jalal isn't mentioned is because he's hiding in wait. I'm preparing a response.
Edit: Also, It would take much much more than that to fluster Eirin. She could keep a straight face even if everyone around her started an orgy. ...she'd probably join.
Edit2: Actually, looking again, you could have described Austin's current body. Etch tells me that situation would fluster him/her.
Actually, Those story posts could coexist.Oh poo.
The only difference now is that Team Ahoge is wet.
Edit: Oh yeah, memory hacking...Etch said he's limiting that to...above.
Now, for the guns.
Marx's guns run off her mana, and considering how that in her current state she has a small amount of mana, she cannot use them.
Ria was supposed to be a gun-mad person, being able to use all kinds of them. This includes silenced weapons. If this is still unacceptable, she is decent at close quarters.
And for people compaining about too many characters ( I'm not pointing fingers, as there are too many people to point at.) Caboose and Frank will be leaving by the start of Day 5, so just bear with it for a bit longer.
I know, I just didn't think it was particularily fair when he was snuffed out like that... Especially considering that no other character had been stabbed with arrows, stripped naked in front of a crowd of people, and bolted to the floor.
Either way, Team Lunatic is going to try it. The others might not be so hardcore and alleviate Arreku's situation.
I wish you good luck with your endeavors.This is delicious.
I thought there were others with your authority in here.
Yes, I understood that the others would have trouble bolting Team Ahoge to the ground, but Jalal and Eirin would see no problem. Those two are familiar with the concept of an area effect attack(not to say that the others aren't mind you) and would take no risks, even if that meant...that stuff. If that line had been continued, I expected serious WTFing from other teams. A few might even get sick. Some might faint. Some might start yelling about how this was going too far. Especially after a few turns of the bolts.
A nation does not get called an empire by being nice. Also, I already mentioned that there was a rebellion in its history.
Anyways, now we have Team Ahoge in a room, owing a usage fee(or whatever they call the fee to stay in an inn, hehe), near Team Lunatic still in the mindset that would lead to such actions in the room(except the narrator's intercession on Team Ahoge's behalf prevents said actions), and giving off the impression of having had a wild round of sex.
Entertaining, but that seems more of "alright you paid your rent" as opposed to "you proved your case that you didn't copulate."It was Kaigomi's idea, she knew he had charged a gigantic ammount of electricity, so it would have to be discharged. A decade of experience with him makes for some unorthidox solutions.
The medical examination will still continue, unless Team Ahoge abandons that position.
I really have no idea why they threw Arreku into the pond. I mean...If Jalal came up with the idea, I would understand because he's insane, but Eirin? Maybe because she's stoned right now.
I have finished my response.Uhhhhhhhh...
Dear Pedo:Yup, I'm being... patient...
Patience is a virtue.
Further assholery,
Fatmus
/me heads to bed.
So I can take it that they are speechless from being restrained in a bed, naked, and probed.I'm... speechless...
I'll come up with something...eventually.
I wish you good luck with your endeavors.
I thought there were others with your authority in here.
**Face palms at all the posts above and the ones in story thread**Wait... Ehrm...
Pedo, why are you PMing me you wish to fuse with the maid vs maid competition but yet compeletely do something else ahead with Madness. I have no time for this crap right now. I am off to work will probably read from my mobile phone if I have the time.
Wait... Ehrm...
When will the events be starting?
^That's what I want to know as well, so I can at least know when to post.That was going to be announced if people (not you, because you are Owlbear vs Taihou) would actually read. My post on page 31 aparantly holds no value.
**Face palm #2**Oh...

This is too complicated to figure out, so I'm gonna stick with Mad and Etch.
Bad idea. Mad and Etch are very close to getting BANNED from the RP. They've been incredibly disruptive.
Well my friend B-Nashi is interested in this game. So he'll most likely join with Meiling.Aw, I was hoping that no one would pick Meiling. It would have been fitting, I think.
Aw, I was hoping that no one would pick Meiling. It would have been fitting, I think.Sikieiki and Komachi's still avaliable, I only assume you'd want them by looking at your avatar.
Well my friend B-Nashi is interested in this game. So he'll most likely join with Meiling.
Sikieiki and Komachi's still avaliable, I only assume you'd want them by looking at your avatar.Hah, I'm really gratified to be welcomed so warmly, but I don't feel like now would be a good time to join. The Roleplay is pretty chaotic, and my obligations elsewhere are pretty chaotic too, so I should wait until both calm down a little. On top of that, I'm keeping up with the recent posts, but I haven't read through all the old stuff left, and I can't even access the oldest stuff since I didn't have an account on the old forums.
If not, then count this as another useless post. Matter of fact why DID I point this out? Oh right, I was trying to be helpful...let's see how that turns out.

I apologize. I'm really trying to tone things down.
Could I perhaps have a full and detailed list of my offenses?
I'll make sure not to repeat them.
Well problem is that Gpop's on his way back now =/.
I hope that I don't interrupt anything.
When exactly did Jalal pull a gun from nowhere anyways? The only parts with him and guns were after raiding an armory in the Sky Ray.What? Where's this from?
Maybe you're think of Ria? I think one of her powers was something along the lines of "access immaterium."
@ A GM: When will any more airships make their appearances?
Never, hopefully... Or at least until near-endgame.Ok, good...
Jeez, waiting for story posts is driving me crazy!! I can't even fap!...Right, well your masturbation issues aside, I would post one but I'm busy with another Touhou related RP on a different site.

I dunno if I haven't exerted too much of my story telling steam I might squeeze one out tonight (How many times have I said something like that, more over how many times have I actually followed through on it?)
Ok, good...
Jeez, waiting for story posts is driving me crazy!! I can't even fap!
Is it auto-lock time already?Eh, I did too. But you're probably mighty damn close
EDIT: Apparently not...
I thought the limit was 1000 posts now?
DAMMIT SOMEBODY POST SUM STORY!!(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/OwlBear1337/Screens/angry_nicklebottom.png)
...But seriously, wait a sec. Go wander the internet or somethin' that's what I do when I wait for a post. Odds are you'll probably forget all about the RP and focus on something else you found.Didn't you hear? He can't even fap! There's nothing else on the internet for him!
Didn't you hear? He can't even fap! There's nothing else on the internet for him!Go nuts, Pedo. And yes I DO hold responsiblity for were this link takes you. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage)
Anyway, I see that someone just snapped up Medicine. From the completed Windows games, now it's just Siki, Komachi, and, uh, Wriggle, left for claiming. Sort of surprising to see how the loads and loads of characters are almost all spoken for.
That's what I expected at first, but looking at the list in the first post here, I recognize all but a few names as active posters.It happens. Folks sign up for an RP and then get sidetracked by other matters. Trust me, I know this sorta thing all to well.
i'm here guys but i'm unpacking since i came home from college and finals. I'm gonna make a post tonight.You talk about them like they're presents... :p
Hey Serp do you want to grab Shiki and Komachi? otherwise I'm gonna grab em and give em to Pearl like i said in an earlier post...I just wanna know before hand hehe otherwise i'll offically snag em myself and ask MTG to put them under Pearl.
Go nuts, Pedo. And yes I DO hold responsiblity for were this link takes you. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage)
Also, I think the main reason why touhous went up so fast wa because people took'em up in pairs or larger. Although ya still got PC-98 open; most of PoDD, and LLS are left for the taking plus that of Sara. Most of the Others are up for grabs too. But that's usually if you want to deal with an obscure character (ecluding themoonbitchesWatatsukis)

Also, lol at Mokou thinking Arreku is a girl already.That is due to I assume you are also genderbended by the drugged breakfast.
I thought there were others with your authority in here.
A nation does not get called an empire by being nice. Also, I already mentioned that there was a rebellion in its history.
The past 96 hours have been me constantly refreshing Unlimited Game Works...

Dear Pedo:
Patience is a virtue.
Further assholery,

/me heads to bed.

Out of curiosity; are out characters still all gender-bended, or are we back to our normal selves again? Just makin sure in case I post or something.
Gpop apparently grabbed a plate of the questionable food to keep around for shits and giggles, but it'll be a one-time thing. This isn't a Jusenkyo curse or anything..... unless Eirin isn't telling us something.
READ IT AN' WEEP YOUS GUISE!!
Nemoma, center stage please!!
Gpop usually isn't hungry in the morning. He may be hungry later, but it won't be the "questionable" food that the 3 fairies left.
wait, so you're leaving the food in the fridge, and if the plot goes according to what I am thinking, that food will fall into someone else's hands, and that person is one that raids the fridge at like 4:00AM in the morning, or at anytime in the day when hungry, and eats any leftovers that are not marked with someone's name,
and no, I am not refering to Yuyuko.
...I definitely wasn't planning on that, but if something wants to break into my house to eat my breakfast, go on ahead.
Changing Arreku's size to G cup, because E cups aren't big enough to be Gag Boobs. :pYes, but are you sure you wanna go that way? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiken_(manga))
Yes, but are you sure you wanna go that way? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiken_(manga))*Shudders*
And for the record it was so bad it was horrible.
I'll get to posting today or something, been meaning to do that. (Or am I just saying that, because I don't want my posts to look like a bunch of useless letters that somehow phase together to form sentences? Eh, Probably).
Btw Anthony I can fix that avatar up for you. I can see what you're trying to do.
EDIT: Fix'd as best as I can. Little choppy, but I haven't been using Photoshop in a while now =/.
