Tokiko Quest

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Do you think Miss Nagae plays Touhou?"

>"How would I know?"
>"Definitely."
>Aya and Hatate give two conflicting answers.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"busy scanning Hatate?"

>"Busy? Well I suppose that, given your level, scanning does take a while for you."
>"Scan? What's that? How can you tell that miss Nagae plays-"
>Suddenly, as Aya asks Hatate a few questions, she puts her hands together.
>"Hey! You said you have one of those rings too, didn't you? Does that mean that you can lift stuff like Tokiko can? Can you show me your ring? How come I've never seen you with a ring like Tokiko's? And how come you never told me about it?"
>While Aya bombards Hatate with questions, Mystia tugs on your sleeve.
>"Um, Tokiko? I don't really get what's going on, but is that ring the reason for why you've been acting a bit funny today...?"

GUYS I CRACKED THE CODE

[21:09:30] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> Oh shoot, that reminds me
[21:09:36] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> I meant to try to add Aya to Tokiko's inventory
[21:09:40] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> :oop-c:
[21:12:58] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> WAIT
[21:13:18] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> >A few months ago, roughly 10 high school students simply disappeared on the way home from school.
[21:13:18] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> >One of these students, you believe Rin Kaenbyou was her name, attended a school in your area.
[21:13:18] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> >The students reappeared about a week later with no recollection of what they had been doing, or even any idea that they had actually been missing.
[21:13:25] <Reisen-Udongein-Inaba> I BET THEY GOT ADDED TO SOMEONE'S INVENTORY
[21:14:20] <Himiko> Of course
[21:14:25] <Himiko> OF COURSE YOU WOULD THINK OF THAT

> "I'm not sure myself, for some reason it seems like there are many voices in my head directing me in different vectors."
> "For now, I think we should just cool down for the rest of the day and avoid trouble... right?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "I'm not sure myself, for some reason it seems like there are many voices in my head directing me in different vectors."
> "For now, I think we should just cool down for the rest of the day and avoid trouble... right?"

>"Voices... Voices? Tokiko, are you sure you're okay?"
>"That would probably be for the best."
>Hatate seems to agree with the notion of avoiding getting into any more trouble for today.

> "I don't know, but these weird suggestions keep popping into my head, like scanning everybody I see. Or constantly checking Aya's inventory like now."
> Check Aya's inventory
> "See?!"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "I don't know, but these weird suggestions keep popping into my head, like scanning everybody I see. Or constantly checking Aya's inventory like now."
> Check Aya's inventory
> "See?!"

>"Tokiko...?"
>How do you plan on doing this?

>_

[PX]

>Grab Aya and check her inventory

[O4rfish]

>Don't grab Aya.

[PX]

> "I believe I said grab Aya!"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Grab Aya and check her inventory

>You ignore Mystia and walk up to Aya.
>"Hey, what are you-"
>Before Aya can resist, you grab hold of her and look through her chest pocket to check its content.
>Inside Aya's chest pocket, you can see two pens and a small USB flash drive.
>"Tokiko?!"
>Mystia tries calling out your name, with her hands covering her mouth, as she watches you grope Aya.
>"What the hell, Tokiko?!"
>Aya attempts to break free of your hold, but fails to do so given the difference between your strength and hers since you have the ring on.
>You ignore Aya's resistance and undo her top button and put your hand inside Aya's shirt, since you know that Aya, on occasion, pulls things out from inside her shirt. This causes both Aya and Mystia to scream.
>Between Aya's breasts, you can feel that there is a small book. This is probably the journal that Aya is always writing notes into.
>"What the hell is wrong with you, Tokiko?!"
>This time, it's Hatate speaking. You note that she has a ring similar to yours on her right hand and you can see a pair of large, black wings protruding from her back. You also note that Hatate is using these wings to fly towards you.
>Before you can check more of Aya's inventory, Hatate tackles you, forcing you off Aya, and slams you down onto the ground.
>"Aya! Mystia! Just run away for now!"
>"But what about-"
>"I'm fine, just run!"
>Mystia stands frozen, looking at you with horror, which causes Aya to grab her hand.
>"Come on, Myschii! Let's get away from that freak!"
>Aya runs away from you with Mystia in tow, leaving you on the floor with Hatate pinning you down.
>"What the hell were you thinking, Tokiko?! Were you even thinking?! What the hell is wrong with you?!"
>... is what you believe would happen, if you were to check Aya's inventory in this manner.

>Don't grab Aya.

> "I believe I said grab Aya!"

>You feel conflicted on your next course of action.

[PX]

> "... Let's just go to class."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> "... Let's just go to class."

>"... Okay."
>Mystia gives you a look of concern, but shakes her head and claps her hands on her cheeks before cheerily walking alongside you to your next class.
>A short distance behind you, Aya and Hatate follow suit with Aya assaulting Hatate with a barrage of questions related to the ring. Hatate seems to be answering most of Aya's questions, but from what you can make out, it seems as though Hatate really doesn't know that much more than you do about the ring.
>After another minute or two, you find yourself standing in front of your classroom.
>"Hey, isn't that miss Hearn? Who's she talking to?"
>Hatate points to the end of the corridor, where you can see your english teacher talking with another blond haired woman in a purple dress.

>_

[PX]

>Scan both of them
>Ponder what would happen if we grabbed Mystia and check her inventory

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Scan both of them
>Ponder what would happen if we grabbed Mystia and check her inventory

>You are currently too far away to scan either.
>You imagine that bad things would happen in most circumstances.

>_

[PX]

>Head over to them
>"Hello Miss Hearn."
>Scan them both

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Head over to them
>"Hello Miss Hearn."
>Scan them both

>You start making your way to Maribel and the other blonde woman.
>Mystia is about to start following you when Aya puts her arm around her shoulder.
>"We'll be waiting for you in the classroom, yeah? So, Myschii, what is it about Tokiko that..."
>Aya drags Mystia into the classroom before she can really say anything.
>Hatate looks in the direction of the blonde woman and frowns for a few moments before heading into the classroom with Aya and Mystia.
>You walk down the corridor and approach Maribel and the blonde woman. As you get closer, you can start making out some of their conversation.
>"So, Mary, who's the cute little girl walking up to us?"
>"That's Tokiko, a student of mine. And I do wish that you would stop calling the students here 'cute little girls'."
>As you approach, the blonde woman turns to face you. You note that she looks remarkably similar to Maribel. You also note that the blonde woman's eyes pause momentarily when she looks at your right hand, where you have your ring equipped.
>Before Maribel can address you, the blonde woman interrupts.
>"Good day to you, Tokiko. How might Mary or I be of assistance to you on this fine day?"
>Maribel is a level 0 human with the neutral element. Maribel has no resistances to any elements, nor any weaknesses.
>You are unable to discern the blonde lady's level, class, or elemental affinity. It will take an infinite amount of time to assess any of the blonde lady's attributes.

[O4rfish]

>"Hello ma'am."
>"Aren't you too old for an MMO?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "I was kinda wondering why there were two Miss Hearns."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Hello ma'am."
>"Aren't you too old for an MMO?"

>"Hello to you, too, my dear."
>You see the blonde woman twitch slightly.
>"Excuse me? I believe I heard something incredibly rude just now. Would you care to repeat that?

> "I was kinda wondering why there were two Miss Hearns."

>The blonde woman chuckles.
>"Oh my, I suppose we do posses a rather similar appearance. However, Mary is Mary and I am me."
>"Ah, where are my manners? My name is Yukari Yakumo, though a cute little girl like you can call me whatever you want."
>Maribel sighs.
>"Sorry to cut the conversation short, Yukari, but Tokiko and I should make our way to class now. It would probably be for the best if you were to take your leave now."
>The blonde woman, Yukari, puffs out her cheeks and pouts.
>"But I only just got here, Mary. Surely you wouldn't turn an old friend away when she's come all this way to visit you. Whatever shall I do without your soothing presence?"
>Maribel sighs once more.
>"Yukari, I have a class to teach right now. Could you wait in the staffroom until I'm finished with that?"
>"I suppose I could allow that. However, in exchange, you must allow me to borrow this cute little girl. Tokiko, could you show me to the staffroom?"

> Look to Miss Hearn.
> "Um...should I?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> Look to Miss Hearn.
> "Um...should I?"

>You look towards Maribel, who lets out another sigh.
>"It's not as though she'll take 'No' for an answer. Just try not to talk to her too much and come back to class immediately once you've dropped her off at the staffroom."

>_

[PX]

> Sigh, then head over to the staff room

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

> Sigh, then head over to the staff room

>"Why the sigh? If you sigh like that, you'll lose all your cuteness."
>As you begin walking towards the staffroom with the blonde lady, she suddenly calls out to Maribel and waves goodbye to her.
>"Bye Mary~ I'll see you soon."
>The blonde lady turns to you again.
>"Lead the way, Tokiko."

>_

[ActionDan]

>Lead the way

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Lead the way

>You start walking in the direction of the staffroom and Yukari walks by your side. You get the impression that this woman is already quite familiar with the school's layout.
>"So, Tokiko, I couldn't help but notice that you had a rather nice ring. A gift from a special someone?"

>_

[O4rfish]

>Squeak "N-no!"

>"Say Ma'am, are you related to our math teacher Miss Yakumo?" "Her mother or great-aunt or something?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Squeak "N-no!"
>"Say Ma'am, are you related to our math teacher Miss Yakumo?" "Her mother or great-aunt or something?"

>Yukari laughs.
>"Oh, the joys of being young."
>"Another Yakumo? Are you talking about Ran? Come to think of it, she did tell me that she started teaching some time ago..."
>"Oh, you do love to kid, don't you?"
>As Yukari says this, she grinds her thumbs into your temples. It hurts.
