> Patchouli: Pick outfit #9.You grudgingly decide to don the gothloli dress, intending to use this as leverage against Remilia later.
You equip the STOCKING EXCHANGE, increasing your MELEE DAMAGE and reducing your SUGAR RESISTANCE.
You are surprised to not receive a TIME PARADOX ERROR. That probably means this outfit is going to be destroyed in the near future, much to Patchouli's delight. Thinking ahead, you add your CAT'S PAJAMAS to your inventory.
> Patchouli: Take Cloak of Levitation.
You grab the CLOAK OF LEVITATION from outfit #7, because REASONS.
This piece of magical equipment is fully functional and allows the wearer to fly, an ability that is STAGGERINGLY REDUNDANT in Gensokyo. Creating this was pretty trivial for you.
> Patchouli: Exit room.That's about as dressed-up as you're willing to get. It took you a while to try on all those outfits, so everyone else is probably just about ready by now.
You leave your room and head back towards your desk.
On the way, you encounter a FAIRY MAID who was looking for you. She offers you a CUP OF COFFEE, as you requested.
You promptly take a sip of it and determine that it BARELY QUALIFIES AS COFFEE. Using your POWERS OF DEDUCTION, you attempt to figure out what went wrong here.
It appears that the fairy maid does not know how to operate a coffee machine, and elected to jury-rig a teabag by wrapping a TEABAG STRING around a COFFEE FILTER filled with COFFEE GROUNDS. The smudge of FAIRY LIP GLOSS on the side indicates that the fairy taste-tested it herself, and determining it to be horribly bitter, added a heap of SUGAR, CREAM, MILK, and...is that HOT CHOCOLATE? You think it's HOT CHOCOLATE.
This is pretty terrible. Fortunately, you don't drink coffee for the taste.
> Patchouli: Return to desk.When you make your way back to your desk, you see that Sakuya has returned. She's currently chatting with Rumia about the party.
> Patchouli: Consider bringing Flandre to the party.
What are you, nuts?
Flandre isn't ready for busy social situations like that. Somebody is bound to get their shit wrecked with her on the loose. Flan isn't even allowed to participate in the parties Remilia throws at the SDM.
She was let out of the basement just recently; she's not ready for public interaction yet. Maybe in another hundred years or so.
> Patchouli: Examine crystal ball.Before you step in on Sakuya, you notice your CRYSTAL BALL on a nearby table. In order to use your limited* divination capabilities, you need to have this on hand.
* It takes about 20 minutes to set up your crystal ball and get it going. You can use it to watch any person you are at least mildly familiar with for a few minutes, although at your SKILL LEVEL there is a fair chance of you giving yourself away or having your scrying scrambled, especially if the target is PARTICULARLY MAGICALLY INCLINED.
You feel like adding your CRYSTAL BALL to your inventory, also because REASONS. However, it is KIND OF HEAVY (for you) and will max out your WEIGHT LIMIT. Do you want to take this?
