> hold her hands
> "That would all depend on your answer."
> Approach her face

>You take Mystia's hands in yours.
>"Wh-wh-wha-wha-"
>You get closer to Mystia, who turns her blushing face away from yours.
>"B-B-But we're both girls and we've been friends for so long and you said that was a prank and..."

[PX]

> "I can wait for your reply. The day is still young."
> Turn and stare menacingly at Hatate and Aya
> "And this is a private manner. If you're truly friends, you would wait for us to announce our relationship to everybody else first."

> Turn and stare menacingly at Hatate and Aya
> "And this is a private manner. If you're truly friends, you would wait for us to announce our relationship to everybody else first."

>Mystia turns to look at you with a bright red face before sheepishly looking away once more.
>"... I'd like that..."
>You can barely hear Mystia's whispered response.
>You turn to Aya and Hatate and ask them to respect your privacy for the time being.
>"Hey, all you need to do is ask."
>"We'll be waiting for when you're ready to tell everyone else."
>Aya seems to be jotting something down into her notebook while Hatate tries to get a good picture of the two of you holding hands on her camera. You note that Hatate is blushing slightly as she watches the two of you.
>On an unrelated note, you have always wondered how Hatate manages to carry so many cameras and phones without making her clothes look bulky.

>Fast forward to lunch

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Fast forward to lunch

>You wish the fast forward function in your life wouldn't break so often.

>Head to next class

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Head to next class

>You suppose there's no point in loitering near the maths staffroom and so you begin walking towards your next class, though it isn't going to start for another 10 minutes or so.
>You note that you still haven't let go of Mystia's hand.
>Aya and Hatate follow closely behind, whispering to each other with grins on their faces.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>bring mystia's hand to your side pocket.
>fiddle with the ring and slip it on her finger

>You pull Mystia's hand closer to yourself.
>"Tokiko?"
>You pull the ring out of your pocket with your free hand, which causes Hatate to react upon seeing it.
>"Hey, isn't that-? You play Touhou, Tokiko?"
>Mystia gives Hatate a confused look before looking at the ring in your hand.
>Aya, on the other hand, immediately moves to get a closer look at the ring.
>"What's this, what's this?"

[Polaris]

>"I found it in my bag earlier. Do you know anything about it?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"I found it in my bag earlier. Do you know anything about it?"

>"T-T-Tokiko?"
>Mystia starts trembling at the sight of the ring. Maybe this is a little too much excitement for her over a short period of time.
>"What's that supposed to be? And, Hatate, you play Touhou?"
>Aya, on the other hand, starts asking questions.
>"Nobody really knows much about it, only a handful of people have gotten one. It lets you do a bunch of nifty things though. Did you get that weird message in game too?"
>"Yeah, I play Touhou. Didn't I tell you a while back Aya?"

>_

[Polaris]

>"Weird message?"
>Put on the ring yourself and see if anything happens.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Weird message?"
>Put on the ring yourself and see if anything happens.

>"You know, it looked like it was from a spammer or something and talked about finding their ring or something like that."
>You let go of Mystia's hand to put the ring on your own.
>As soon as you do so, you feel a surge of power run through your body.
>"Feels weird, doesn't it?"
>Aya looks confused and turns to Hatate.
>"Hey, what's going on, what feels weird? Where'd you even get that ring?"
>Mystia appears to have transitioned into a state of confusion as well.
>"Tokiko? What's happening?"

> Check status for new powers

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> Check status for new powers

>You currently feel stronger and more durable. You also feel as though your stamina has increased significantly.
>You have gained an understanding on how to use the following abilities: Scan, Piercing Blow, Quick Roll, Block. You'll need a melee weapon of some sort to use Piercing Blow and Block though.
>You have gained access to an inventory. You're not entirely sure how this works yet.

>Has our physical appearance changed since equipping the ring? Did we turn into a sprite?
>Ask Hatate and Aya what they know or have heard about the ring.

[Kilgamayan]

> How strong were we before, and how strong do we feel now by comparison?
> Scan Aya.

[Kilgamayan]

>scan mystia

Ooh, forward, forward~

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Has our physical appearance changed since equipping the ring? Did we turn into a sprite?
>Ask Hatate and Aya what they know or have heard about the ring.
>/organize TokiMyschiOTP

>Other than the fact that you now have a ring on one of your fingers, your appearance has not changed. Other than the fact that you're being rendered in 8 bits now.
>"What are you asking me for? I have a lot of questions about that ring myself."
>Aya does not seem to know much about the current situation.
>"I don't really know too much about it myself. Though, from what I've experienced and read on some boards, it seems to link you to your Touhou character. I'm not really sure how or why this happens, but the inventory is super useful."
>"What inventory? What's all this about, Hatate?"

> Check Aya's inventory

>How do you plan to do this?

> How strong were we before, and how strong do we feel now by comparison?
> Scan Aya.

>You were fairly weak before, with the approximate strength of an average high school girl. Now, you feel as though you could lift fairly heavy objects with relative ease.
>Aya is a level 0 human with the neutral element. Aya has no resistances to any elements, nor any weaknesses.

>scan mystia
>and scan hatate while we're at it
>in fact autoscan any future people we meet, and maybe the environment as well, as long as it doesn't drain our soul gem or somethinf

>Mystia is a level 0 human with the neutral element. Mystia has no resistances to any elements, nor any weaknesses.
>Hatate is a level ?? youkai who is strongly associated with wind as her primary element. This makes her resistant to the wind and fire elements and susceptible to the earth and lightning elements. It will take more time to assess Hatate's level or any other elements that Hatate may or may not be associated with.
>Unfortunately your parser is broken and/or lazy (almost certainly the latter) and will require manual command inputs.

> Fairly heavy what?
> Could we lift a classmate?

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> Fairly heavy what?
> Could we lift a classmate?

>Fairly heavy objects with relative ease. I'm not a morning person. ;_;
>You're confident that you could without exerting too much effort.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Well, there's one way to find out what this ring does. Aya, hold still."
> Grab Aya at waist level and lift her off the floor.

[PX]

> Check Aya's inventory while we're doing this

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "Well, there's one way to find out what this ring does. Aya, hold still."
> Grab Aya at waist level and lift her off the floor.

>"Huh? What are you going to-?"
>You grab Aya by the waist and lift her up.
>"Woah, woah, woah! What's going on?! Let me down!"
>Hatate gives a small chuckle which causes Mystia to turn to her.
>"Hatate? What's happening to Tokiko?"

> Check Aya's inventory while we're doing this

>The only possessions that you can see of Aya's while lifting her up like this is her phone strap dangling out of her right pocket and two pens sitting in her chest pocket.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Neat."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "Neat."

>"So, um, are you going to let me down? I'd really like it if you let me down."
>Aya crosses her arms while you hold her in the air and frowns while looking in Hatate's direction.
>While you hold Aya in the air Hatate, who tones down her chuckling at Aya's distress, responds to Mystia's question.
>"Well, Mystia, there's this MMO called Touhou that I play, and so does Tokiko apparently, where you get to play as a warrior and kill monsters and that kind of thing since it's just a game."
>"But, recently, some people have been getting these weird rings in game, the one you saw Tokiko put on, and somehow you end up with the ring in real life."
>"When you put the ring on, it's like you transfer all the stats and skills from your in game character to yourself. Since our in game characters fight monsters and stuff, they're much stronger physically than we are."
>"And since Tokiko's become as strong as her character, she can hold up Aya like that."
>Mystia still looks rather confused after Hatate's explanation.
>"If you don't get it, just think of that ring as a way to get superpowers. It's pretty cool."
>"Uh huh..."
>Mystia still looks confused.

[Kilgamayan]

> How're we feeling? Up for anything more, like a second classmate?
