>"Can you appreciate how precisely and articulately I am expressing my thoughts?"> "Um...yes, certainly."
>Execute googly eyes program.> Your eyeballs are fantastically flexible, and you test this property immediately. You catch a brief look of yourself in a nearby mirror, both eyes squinted in. If you had an understanding of the concept of shame, you would be feeling it right now.
> List available programs.> loli.exe - Your main program, always running. Allows you to pick up and learn abilities from other people you meet and take them on as programs. [You may only have 3 of these Loli programs installed at any time - to take on a fourth, one must be overwritten.]
scan.bat>Execute bat.man
>Add Quest: Install MAME.> Change that to "Install All Known Working Game Emulators".
>Add Quest: Install Shmupmame, 2-ALL KetsuiFix'd
> Run Program: scan.bat on Target: Rikako Asakura.> WELCOME TO THE LOLI ENGINE DOWNLOAD SYSTEM.
> "There are programs that I am denied access to."
>"I think I am much less untrustworthy than her.">The kappa you point at seems mildly insulted, glaring in your direction before moving on. Rikako shoots her an apologetic glance.
>Gesture at a random kappa.
>Execute bat.man>"Holy processing unit, Batman!"
> Scan for installed game programs. A loliborg's gotta entertain herself in her spare time, right? XP> What is this thing you call a 'game'? Is it a weapon? Can it shoot things? If not, you are not interested.
> "I am aware that I am a mechanical construct with human features. That was what you were asking, correct?"> "Correct to an extent, but you are so much more than that. You are perhaps my greatest invention - a machine that can learn and absorb knowledge from living things. All without a hint of magical interference, too. The kappa told me it wasn't possible, but when they see you I can't wait to see the looks on their faces!"
> Download Ability: Mechanical Genius from Target: Rikako Asakura.> LOLI ENGINE INITIATED
> Make the scrap into a little flute and play a tune.> You make a recorder-like contraption - messy, given your lack of decent materials, but just about functional. As if to test it, you blow a few notes through it. It doesn't work properly, but you cheat with your inbuilt MIDI-player.
> What does this girl look like?> Rikako pulls out a piece of paper. The drawings scrawled upon it have been made frantically, and once or twice the pencil has pierced the paper through sheer anger. The figure is still identifiable, though - a girl with long silver hair, and a strange fin-like appendage poking out of her back. (http://i33.tinypic.com/2vxg7rl.jpg)
> Inquire about the other youkai in the region. They could have useful abilities to assimilate.> "Hm. There's a curse god around the mountain who might be handy. And a rogue kappa engineer who's apparently running a store with some nice profits. They could both give you excellent abilities, but if the opportunity arises to apprehend Tororetsu do so immediately."
>Contemplate data we have on our surroundings.> You are in an underground facility beneath the Mountain of Youkai. It seems hastily constructed, but fully functional. Not up to nuclear power yet.
>Give Sango the designation: Current Dolphin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ro-VWSXIw)
>Examine capacity for copied abilities.
>"Understood....mother."> Rikako goes red in the face as you hug her. You are slightly curious as to the reason for this response, as you are not particularly warm, nor does her breath indicate any sign of alcohol overdose.
>Bid your creator a goodbye hug.
>Initiate Mission.> You have a schematic of the facility downloaded into your memory banks already, so it's no difficulty finding the exit. The less-waterproof parts of your armour retract, revealing the waterproof coating underneath. You note a similarity in the names - SANGO-MD Prototype? Perhaps Rikako's grudge is just that far into her head.

Well, that explains why Rikako built a little girl: she's a lolicon. Better watch out, Rou-tan!
> Assess how to develop danmaku ability. If we're gonna survive in Gensokyo, this is necessary.
> Locate a target to test the capabilities of mo.exe. Check to see if our databanks has any information on the rogue kappa engineer: as a shop owner, she should be relatively easy to find.> ACCESSING DATABASE...RECORD FOUND.
Well, that explains why Rikako built a little girl: she's a lolicon. Better watch out, Rou-tan!
> Assess how to develop danmaku ability. If we're gonna survive in Gensokyo, this is necessary.> Danmaku is inherently a skill based on magic. You currently work solely on mechanical means - you wouldn't be able to fire more than one or two bullets at a time without having a dozen cannons installed in your arms. And when your arms are this small, there isn't enough room for that.
>Assess vulnerability to water impurities.>The water is at its most toxic near the laboratory, and grows purer the more you leave. Fortunately, the waterproof coating is also sufficient to protect you from these, and should be able to withstand at least a fair amount of physical damage should you end up in combat.
> Nay, look up info on JC Denton and add sub-quest: find nano-augmentation canisters.> JC DENTON NOT FOUND, BUT NANO-AUGMENTATION CANISTERS SOUND INTERESTING ENOUGH TO BE ADDED TO THE DATABASE.
> Swim on inoppaibreaststroke. Rou-tan's eyes are waterproof, right?
>Info about defensive abilities: If we want to return in one piece to our beloved master we need to know how to do it.>Again, you can withstand a decent amount of damage as a bonus from the waterproof covering. However, if it should be punctured, attempting to dive again will likely end in short-circuiting and outright system failure, so avoid damage if possible.
> Danmaku is inherently a skill based on magic. You currently work solely on mechanical means - you wouldn't be able to fire more than one or two bullets at a time without having a dozen cannons installed in your arms. And when your arms are this small, there isn't enough room for that.Even so, perhaps you could develop some mode of technology to generate energy bullets or something.

> "I have a big vocabulary."
>Do the Funky Chicken.> At least, until you start clucking like a little kid and running around the shelves. THAT'S enough to cause Nitori to burst out laughing. You're not sure if she's laughing with you or at you.
> Say "I'm really 1500 years old."> This comes out as a blatantly obvious lie. You pout a little deeper.
> "Take me to your leader"> Spoken in an alien monotone thanks to mo.exe. Nitori smirks.
>In conjuction with mo.exe: "I'm sorry Miss Kappa for what I said earlier, I'm not yet stable.... will you forgive me?"Modified.
>If yes: Cute smile "Thank you!"
>"I require all data you have on the youkai: Current Dolphin at once."> Translation: "Can you tell me a story about the Current Dolphin?"

> Search databanks to see what causes older women and kappa to blush at the sight of significantly younger females.
>Consider verbal tics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYdpOjletnc&feature=related)>You shudder around a little. Maybe Rikako still has a bug or two to fix after all. Nitori looks at you rather strangely.
>"So-so-so- you are s-s-s-s-saying that Current Dolphin-phin-phin-in-in-in-in-n-n-n-n-n-n-n is a foo-o-o-o-o-o-o-lllll?"
> Ignore stuttering verbal tic.
> Add "myu" to the end of every sentence.
> And hearts.>Self-repair kicks in and deals with the fault.
> Use current verbal tic as default mo.exe conversation style.Seconded.
> Browse for potential alternative outfits> There are two issues with this. Firstly, you don't have any money to buy any of these outfits from Nitori. Secondly, what you're wearing right now is armour disguised as a swimsuit, and by removing it you'd also be removing the maid-outfit segment of the armour as well, revealing your vulnerable interior circuits. The best you could probably do is wearing one of these on top of your current outfit, but good luck doing that without the kappa noticing you.
> Use current verbal tic as default mo.exe conversation style.> "MYU~♥.WAV" ADDED TO DEFAULT SETTINGS.
> "I hear a lot from Mommy about Current Dolphin, myu~♥. I really really wanna meet her, myu~♥!"
> Assess weather conditions, we need to dress appropriately.> Covertly, you hack into kappa radio transmissions. Apparently, the weather looks set to be clear until this evening, when a light drizzle will enter the area. (They add a disclaimer along the lines of 'At least, unless the Celestials have another tantrum'.)
>"Are you presently allies with Current Dolphin? What is her last known location? Myu~♥."> The wording of the question causes Nitori to stumble for a moment.
> Collect data of how the kappa reacts to our different statements and dialogue style, then compare to see which approaches and stances seem to be the most successful.> From what you can analyse, sudden bursts into overly complicated prose offput the kappa. She still thinks that sort of vocabulary is above someone your age.
> Search databanks for information on Location: Palace of the Earth Spirits or Location: Myouren Temple.
> Search for map of lakes.
> "My outfit is fine now, myu~♥. Which lake does Current Dolphin usually stay at most, myu~♥?"
>Add note: Research how Current Dolphin clears the lakes, try to replicate to replace her>Current Dolphin's purifying powers depend mainly on the two magical vials she carries on her person. One alters the lakes between saltwater and freshwater, and the other removes any impurities that are held within. Both of these should be easy enough to manipulate, but the issue is how these chemicals are created; it seems that Current Dolphin makes them magically herself, which would obviously be very difficult for you to replicate unless the LOLI engine steps in.
>"What other allies does Current Dolphin possess? Myu~♥.">"You mean friends, right?"
> Check supply of knockout darts. We may need to silence Nitori.> You have exactly one knockout dart on your person.
> "Thank you for your help, Miss Nitori. I'm going to go visit Current Dolphin, myu~♥."
>If sisters Komeiji are with Sango or nearby, use shrink unit to hide and avoid detection until situation can be processed.> As you approach Lake C, you can make out two person-shaped silhouettes in the distance. You activate the inbuilt Shrink Unit, reducing yourself to nigh microscopic size. Fortunately, your eyes have sufficient zoom functions to make it possible to examine the pair even from this distance.
>Upscale self to the point that we can travel forward with some speed, but still have a low chance of being noticed.> You are now roughly the size of a blade of grass. You know this, because you're batting various blades of grass away from your face as you approach.
>Assess conditions of the target and possible interference.
> Approach stealthily, to be able to hear the conversation.> You are quiet enough that neither target hears you. You're perhaps 10 metres away now, and the conversation is easy to make out. Komeiji is boasting about...something. You missed that part of the conversation, and you can only tell from what she says that it was 'this big' and 'tried to lick her face off'. Current Dolphin appears unimpressed by the claim.
> Examine dialogue to discover what approaches would be favorable with interacting with Current Dolphin.
> Feel guilty about disappointing Nitori Kawashiro.
> Wonder what guilt is.
>Search for underwater catgirl fiction
>Develop ways to physically tranq people.>Spontaneous upgrades aren't exactly in your style. You can perhaps find this if you return to base, but that would lose you this opportunity, and your master may not be pleased with your failure.
> Take notes on what Koishi is talking about: she seems well traveled, and her views on the world will be useful in our attempts to appear as normal as possible.> You note the habits of white wolf tengu turning into adorable balls of fluffiness, quoting Komeiji's exact words in your analysis.
>Run scan.bat on Komeiji and Current Dolphin if within range. If not, weigh risk of proceeding into range before doing so.>KOMEIJI SKILLS: ERROR! SCAN.BAT FAILED.
>Factor Komeiji's unpredictability against her well-traveledness to determine the effectiveness of taking notes on her helping to appear as normal as possible.
>Load information on supplied tranq dart. If it won't be strong enough to take out Koishi (should it be necessary to do so), or could be detected and/or grazed, the one and only shot will have been made a waste.
>Load information about our aiming skills too. If we're taking the shot we have to be sure we're getting the best shot we can.> Firing this shot is just a problem of trajectories and physics. And you have an inbuilt engine designed to help you with just that. Assume that your aim is [like any good creation of Rikako Asakura] completely flawless.

> Continue surveillance.
>Contemplate asking Current Dolphin if she'd be willing to see Mommy with us.>Perhaps you would need to explain to her who your Mommy is. After all, according to your database the two have been <CLASSIFIED>
>Compute possibility of failure should Current Dolphin ever find out about Mommy.>What would be the problem? Does Current Dolphin know about Mommy? You'd like to know, but right now you can't seem to access the relevant data. When you get back home you're going to have for Mommy to give you some fine tuning.
>Compare pros and cons of making a move now to following them up to the mountains first.> Why You Should Attack Now:
>Formulate plan: Suggest there is a pond near to home that someone accidentally dropped a large quantity of salt into, and we are afraid it may affect our fishing.> Analysis - Difficult to sell successfully. For one, why would someone be carrying around a pile of salt? Two, Current Dolphin probably won't approve of you fishing in the first place.
> Alternative plan: Suggest that Mommy would love to meet her, but the underwater tunnel that leads to our home is filled with icky pollutants. Completely true, after all.> Analysis - also rather difficult. For one, you'd need to tell her who your Mommy is, and explain why she wants to see Current Dolphin. You do not know the answer to the latter question.
>Plan C: As they're about to leave, call them to wait and challenge them both to a swimming race, in the attitude of a determined young girl thinking she could beat anyone (http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/714770/). Sabotage by shooting Komeiji during the race, then yell to Current Dolphin that Komeiji needs help, and when Current Dolphin rushes over to check her friend, knock her out with a jab to the back of the neck or a smash to the back of her head, and drag her back to base.> This plan is rather cruel. It exploits the plight of the otherwise unrelated Komeiji, and uses it to fool Current Dolphin into capture.
>"I would attempt to analyze why you would be giving such an imperative. Myu~♥."> You must be wary. You're already on the verge of complete verbal saturation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrawJosmfP8).
>Ponder if adding extra myu~♥'s would result in greater effect.
>Respond to Komeiji's obvious threat with this (http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/812667/) and "How high do I have to jump to convince you that you fail at swimming, myu~♥? Go on, TELL ME, myu~♥."Komeiji tilts her head to the side.
>Fondly regard underwater wrasslin' ability.>AND IT'S ROU-TAN WITH THE SUPLEX STRAAAAAIGHT INTO THE LAKEBED! SHE GOES FOR THE PIN! THE KAPPA'S THERE, AND SHE'S COUNTING!
> Pretend to stretch on the shore while formulating plan.> No other plan is coming to mind. You take a moment to process the thoughts some more, but there's no response.
> Potential plan: when the race starts, let Current Dolphin take the lead, and stay near Koishi. When Current Dolphin seems distracted, use tranq dart on Koishi, then catch up to Current Dolphin. Shout out that Koishi's down, and when Current Dolphin takes a look, use Underwater Suplex attack.
> Consider giving Koishi codename: Mental Llama.
> We don't want> You'll have to let go of her - not a problem considering she's hardly going anywhere right now. Leaving C.D. on the lakebed, you haul Komeiji to the surface before she drowns. Leaving her on the lakebed, you confirm that her breathing is stable. She will likely awaken in a short while with no memory of this encounter.Mental LlamaKomeji to die: fish her out of the water and put her on the bank of the lake. Try to do this without letting go of Current Dolphin, but if need be, we can drop Current Dolphin for a little while.

> Pick up Current Dolphin, and navigate to mother's lair. Choose the quickest path with most hiding spots.

That's what I said you dolt :Vwell oh god damned well I said it better with my kippyness gawd.
Anyways I vote on unlock. You cannot contain the Super Robot Spirit!
>Press unlock button on the remote, THEN crush it. Make sure there isnt a single piece left.I'm voting for this.
> How long will Mommy likely be unconscious?> Based on what you know about Komeiji's physical strength and Mother's foritude, she'll probably be unconscious for an hour or two.
8. Mother can and will abuse us, and reprogram us so that this event may have never happened in our minds.
I vote for breaking the cycle! As I said:
This has actually happened many many times before. Rikako has simply reprogrammed Rou-tan each time it has failed, and it's going to continue this cycle until the correct decision is made.
You cannot contain the Super Robot Spirit!
Rikako can be convinced later that it may not have been the best choice to put out a hit, and to remove the blocks.
Even without being unlocked, we have enough will to do that. And without the remote, the only way Rikako can decline is through force.
But since she's been knocked out, that won't be likely.
I vote for Rou-tan having nekomimi (tail=bonus) regardless of outcome.I like the way you think

I hope it's over if we screw it up. Bad ends are great!
Wut why. You want the kyuute loli bot to die, along with everyone else?
Sheesh, more coldhearted than I am. :V
2. We were the ones who KO'd herTechnically, Koishi KOd her, and we were the reason Koishi was there.
Technically, Koishi KOd her, and we were the reason Koishi was there.Transitive property.
>wake up Mother and ask for the password> Turn on mo.exe before this.
I meant as in the ones blocked.>Nope. Everything you weren't allowed to access before, you're still not allowed to access. Why would Mother give you access to new stuff just before she blew you up?
Can we access a nearby terminal or Rikako's personal computer and analyze the files for a possible answer?>There is a terminal here, but with all the water in the room it's shorting out in all sorts of ways that a computer shouldn't. You could try finding a computer elsewhere in the complex with the info, but if it's not on this computer it won't be anywhere.
Is the password implied in the story itself rou, or no?[Sort of. I'll admit you guys might need to work for it.]
> Is the keypad a number only one, or does it also have letters?>It's akin to a modern cellphone entry system. Kawashiro knows her way around it, so assume that she can enter any character you would find on a regular keyboard.
> Is there anything here that could be used as fingerprint powder? (In case Mommy's defused this bomb before.)>The machine is pristine. This is the first time it's been exposed to open air. There's no clue to use other than the one on the monitor.
> Does our software include our consciousness? If so, would it be possible for our software to be transferred or copied to other hardware?
If we fuck up is it over? Or do we get a quick scene and continue from the bomb?>There will be no retconning. If you fail, you fail.
There's still the Komeijis but no doubt Roukan's got something up his sleeve to nip that idea too.>Have you considered asking them to try? Now that she's conscious you should be able to get something, and there isn't much Mother can do to keep them out.
>mo.exe on but without the myu~♥, so really just for expression.>"Um...Komeiji ladies, sorry about this, but bad things are about to happen.
>Speech (@ BOTH OF THEM). "Sisters Komeiji. Your abilites are needed now more than ever.
Your lives, your pets' lives, your friends' lives, and our lives are all at stake.
Work together, and find what is Mother's most important thing.
I know you can do it. We're all counting on you. It's all up to you.
I know I did what I did but I had no choice.
Please, understand that, and help us get out of here.
Only you two can do this.
Please."
>Choke up and ultimately cry as you make the speech, ending in a choked beg.
2: Pesco's death was brought on as a result of Rikako's actions. What actions, I don't know, but she sees it as her fault and can't forgive herself.Rikako is Marie Curie in disguise. Just sayin'
But then a group of youkai judged that Rikako had done something she didn't' have any right to do, and punished her, locking her up in a prison.Actually, Rou wrote a fic where Sango (Current Dolphin) and I believe it was Rin infiltrated this base because Rikako was pumping waste from her lab into the lake, causing some major pollution which was pissing Sango off. Rikako was then defeated and locked up because she tried to kill the two. Its been a long while since I read the fic though so some elements are probably off from my synopsis.
I don't often post in these, but I figure telling them to get the hell outta dodge would work yes?Yes but then we'd die.
> You make no effort to resist Kawashiro's movements, and she removes the midsection of your armour.
Revealed beneath it - much to her surprise and yours - is a small explosive device, with a helpful timer informing you there are nine minutes until detonation.
"Lessee here...wiring's pretty damn complex. Can't make out which one of these links to the detonator - hell, maybe none of 'em link to the detonator at all. This could be...tricky."
She pokes - very carefully - at the bomb's metallic casing. There are three screws holding it in; luckily, Kawashiro has one of her trusty screwdrivers on hand. With an all-too-careful hand, she starts working her way into the screws. By now, the other three have become aware that something's going on, and while Satori keeps Current Dolphin company while the dolphin recovers her strength, the younger Komeiji looks over.
"OK, it's...a keypad? A really small one. And a monitor."
You ask the kappa whether the monitor says anything. The kappa squints.
"Yeah, it's just four words, though. Mother's Most Important Thing..."
Your eyes widen. Is that the code you need to defuse the bomb?! If so, then...what was Mother's favourite thing? It should be obvious to you, but she must have kept you from knowing that as well! You'd better give Kawashiro an answer fast before you turn everyone here into matching piles of ash, but be careful - you're probably only gonna get one shot at this!
The gravestone is most likely either Pesco's grave or (if they did have a child) Rikako and Pesco's child's grave (could've been a daughter or a son).
Will the story end if we do, or will nitori like remake us or some shitSee:
If we fuck up is it over? Or do we get a quick scene and continue from the bomb?>There will be no retconning. If you fail, you fail.
> Will the explosion be directly proportional to our size?HOW did none of us think of shrinking until now :V
>Ask Satori THE FULL NAME OF THE MAN>Satori nods, and Koishi assists by probing at Mother's subconscious slightly.
I don't often post in these, but I figure telling them to get the hell outta dodge would work yes?>Blast radius is too large. They won't get out of the way in time.
> If we guess the wrong answer, will the bomb detonate, or will it just lock out any further answers?> It will lock out, and given that you've taken so long to think it over you'll have at most thirty seconds before detonation.
> Will the explosion be directly proportional to our size?
Or maybe we could rip off our entire chest and shrink it? Then the bomb would be gone, correct? Unless we have some sort of important wiring in our chest that cant be replaced. But if we do have some wiring that can be replaced/isnt important then someone will manage to repair us, right? Preferably nitori.
> Can we tell if this bomb is hooked to our software somehow?> It has no connection to your software, but it's hooked into your body with a variety of failsafes. Attempting to remove the bomb will invariably cause premature detonation.
I think I just had a heart attack. :VSect.
> "..."
> Walk to Mother, and give her a hug.
>Dont forget to turn back on mo.exe> To prevent any unfortunate accidents, Kawashiro reattaches your midsection armour first.
>"I'm sorry Mother, I should'va asked... I thought it would help me learn more about myself myu~♥"
>Do we know about Satori and Koishi's connection with earth spirits? If so then ask them if they can retrieve a specific one.>Yes and no respectively. The spirit is likely in Hakugyokurou.
My fucking god Rou I didn't know the enter key could do me so much harm.
>"Yeah.. I understand... but, could I please talk to Mommy for a while? Just us two? At least... let me have that.>Kawashiro nods. She'll give you that much, and lets you continue your discussion for a bit longer.
I haven't gotten any chance to since I was born.
Please... just wait until after that.. ok?"
I want to ask Rikako why she and Kanbei wanted to make an android in the first place.
The robot that would turn out to be Rou-tan, it's original purpose.
>Say in a more serious tone "Mommy, You did do some really bad things, But you also did a lot of good things too. You make me proud to be my Mother."> Mother looks at you, frowning.
>"Wait, I have an idea! Cant me and the dolphin go out and try to clean the water? I really dont want to see Mommy to go to jail, but if we fix the water wont she come out a lot sooner?"
> ... What do we want to do...?> Mother is shocked for a moment. Then, slowly but beautifully, a look of sheer joy rises to her face.
> ... Well, one thing's obvious. Catch up to Mommy and Kawashiro, and take Mommy's hand.
> "Mommy, there's a lot I wanna do. I wanna swim around and help Current Dolphin, 'cause I feel bad about hurting her and about the water being dirty. I wanna learn about everyone, and find new skills." Use Covert Form (Cat) to create nekomimi momentarily, then retract them. "I wanna to show the world the superior power of suplexes over nuclear power."
> Give Mommy our first sincere smile.
> "But most of all, I wanna stay with the one I love, myu~♥!"
So it ended anyway.
Cut way too short, I say.
That said.
Roukan I love you, I hate you, and goddamn Rou-tan is cute.
REQUESTING FUCKING SEQUELnow that
Or even permission to do it myself damnit
i don't want it to end yet ;_;
If someone does make a sequel>To be fair, the charge on Rou-tan is rather light in comparison to Rikako's, but she was still an accomplice to a crime so she's got time to serve. Even then, for the most part I was aiming for her wanting to stay in prison for longer than she needed to just so she could keep her mother company.
make it so we never went to jail
Since I cant see why rou-tan went to jail for more then a month at most, since all she did was kidnapping, and even then it was out of her control
