//Do either of you trust a blind warp of multiple people while our head feels strange? If you really expect this to succeed with no one getting warped into a solid object by accident, then go ahead and do it. (I recommend the Seijahouse area.)

EDIT: That being said, I'm going to bed, so it's up to you to do as you see fit. Just make absolutely sure Prime doesn't die, even by accident: Seija will grow back to her normal size and that'll destroy Shinny's house (and likely injure, if not kill, one or both of them).

Oh, and just to make sure there's no long holdup:

> If there are no other posts by the time the parser is ready for bed, go through with my proposed dialogue with Sanae.

Dai-chan 0:

>We there yet ?
> You are outside of the mansion. Meiling and Orange appear to be asleep on the bed.
//I dunno.... you sure you don`t wanna warp like she told us to ?

Dai-chan C:

>Do we also feel weird ?
>Check inside the rooms we find too.
> You check inside of Flandre's room first.
> No one seems to be in here at first sight.
Prime, 1:

> Examine ourselves.
> "Um...my head feels kinda funny. Are you sure that's a good idea, Miss Sanae? Maybe we can just go out in front of the Shrine?"
>Only if we do end up going with Kilga's dialogue with Sanae (Meaning Raf or anyone else doesn't make a post by the time the parser is ready for bed), add the following two lines:

> "Daiyousei this is serious we only have a bit left before she gets here and you're REALLY not gonna like it." Sanae quickly tells you, looking back and away from the shrine. In said direction, you can see two figures approaching. They're a bit too far to make out any details. "I-I'm not missing my chance and getting Kogasa in trouble. Come on." Sanae holds her gohei and Kogasa, before flying past the shrine. She seemingly does a miracle, and they begin flying much faster.

>Quickly warp Cirno-chan's and Koa's life energies inside us to fuse then warp to the sky above Miss Seija's house, try to remember it as best as possible and warp on the sky to avoid any objects.

Dai-chan 1:

>Quickly shrink and hide on Miss Shinmyonmaru's dollhouse !
>Stay hidden but keep listening for conversations.

Dai-chan 0:

>Let's shrink to a pretty small size then fly towards Miss Sanae's shrine, we need to ask who was that and why all that urgency.

Dai-chan C:

>Go in and check the closet, then under the bed.

//Well, since Raf is sending 0 to the shrine anyway, maybe we could use her to safe-warp as opposed to A or B if we did get rid of them?

Shinny and Seija are asleep, so I'm personally good to hold off for a while. I have stuff I need to get done today anyway.

EDIT: All bets are off if Hamiya shows up again, though.

//I was refraining from posting because I didn't know how long I would be online. I seriously thought I was going to be pulled away again to work on something, plus I was having dinner soon. And like I said, I would like to try to have some active involvement in the next few posts, and I can't really do that if I'm away. Anyway, it turns out that I was not going to be pulled away, and now that I've eaten dinner I'm free for the rest of the night now. In fact I was just about to make a post when I saw yours.

//Anyway, thank you and Raf for your patience. Even though it's glaringly obvious that you've lost it... >_>

//Also, are we in agreement about my idea to use Dai 0 to safely warp our group, rather than have Dai Prime blind warp?
