>Reposting after a troll hacked the deletion password for last thread.After an apocalyptic battle, a nameless boy with blue hair and piercings cradles the lifeless body of his blonde lover. “Why couldn’t I save you… Why…” He stands up in the rain. “I’m leaving this city… Leaving it all… I need to go study medicine… From here on, I’ll just be ‘the Nurse’.” He swears on the corpse of his murdered love before wandering off into the distance. Off in the distance, a skinny androgynous figure with red eyes walks away from the massacre, making an unconcerned expression. “So yeah, I’m thinking about dyeing my hair blonde…” !!! You strain your eyes, desperately trying to pull your mind out of this horrible series. After a moment of horror, you lurch into a state of waking. “That was a scary nightmare…” You mumble to yourself, stretching out. Glancing over at your clock, you find it’s well before your normal time of waking, which is weird since you were genuinely tired after the festival yesterday... If anything, you should have slept later. Although, thanks to that evil book, you’ve been getting in more stockpiled sleep than usual… Though you’re not sure if that’s a good thing. At least your hallucinations were minor yesterday. You shrug and think back over Hisao… It was nice spending the day with him, yesterday… But... it would have been better if it had stayed just the two of you... On that note, actually, he’ll need to be waking up to go run with Emi in just a bit. Actually, Emi should just be getting ready herself, if you wanted to tag along…>Sanity: 3[] Go have Emi shirt you and tag along[] Wait until Emi leaves and stalk her to see what she does with Hisao[] Ignore her for now. Go play with that evil book some more.

You decide you might as well tag along and saunter out into the hallway to begin mechanically kicking Emi’s door.After a series of cacophonous bangs, Emi tears open the door. “Sheesh Rin, knock normally!”You look down at your limply hanging sleeves. “How?”She shrugs. “Hell if I know, you managed it in your good ending.”You shrug back. “I know. And it’s never actually made clear how I did that.”Emi giggles. “Well-

>>19180592uh-oh.
>>19180592!!!“THIS ISN’T… REALLY… HAPPENING!!!!” You shriek, doubling over in mental anguish as the world comes back into focus.“Rin?!” Emi calls out, ripping her door open to find you double over in your bedshirt outside her door. “Omigod! Are you ok?!” She asks, stooping down.You blink blearily as reality regains its cohesion.Emi leads you out of the hallway and over to her bed as you awaken more.After seating you, she finishes adjusting her sportsbra, which is probably unnecessary as far as you can tell.“Are you, ok, Rin?” She asks, never taking her eyes off you.“…” This is a good question.>Sanity: 3[] Just woke up early.[] Couldn’t sleep.

“I couldn’t sleep.” You answer finally. “I keep having these strange nightmares lately.”“Nightmares…” She breathes quietly. “Yeah… I know that feeling…”You’re both surprised and yet relieved that she doesn’t ask you what about. You don’t actually remember much, except for the sense of fear.Well, that evil book… You recall that as clear as day…!?A warmth spreads to your shoulder as Emi hugs you – though tellingly at an angle it would be awkward to launch a kick in.“Something on your mind?” She asks.You shrug. “Too much and yet nothing. I think. Depends on how you quantify existence in a dimension that doesn’t technically exist.”She cocks an eyebrow at you for a moment before smiling. “Yeah, you’re fine.”Without being asked, she yanks you up and starts changing you out of your night-attire. “Well, if you’re awake anyways, might as well greet the day!”You look at her lazily for a moment, then glance out the window. “Hello.”You look back to Emi. “Done. Can I go back to sleep now?”She smirks, full of pep as ever.Now might be a good time to ask about watching her run with Hisao, actually…Maybe…>Sanity: 3[] I wanna watch you and Hisao run this morning.

“Actually…” You say as she finishes your preparations. “There is one thing I remember… There’s this weird evil book I keep seeing.”“Huh? You mean in your dreams?” Emi asks, straightening.“No, right over there.” You reply flatly, jerking your head in the direction of the insidious levitating tome.Called forth by your thoughts, it levitates just above Emi's desk.Suddenly, Emi’s eyes widen as if she were just now noticing it.“Rin… You… I…”She lurches back. “Ivegottogodosomething!” And without clarifying, she flies out of the room.“Emi?” You call out – but with her speed she’s probably already out of earshot.She saw the tome as soon as you tried to show her…You’re sure of that.Her reaction, though… you didn’t expect that.>Sanity: 3[] Go after her.

>>19180947Yes her dad was a tome holder too. Akira was also the one who caused the car crash killing him.To answer your question about the tome you should read up on Eternal Darkness.
Something like this shouldn’t be just left unfinished.Hopping up, you charge out into the hallway and head after her.You’re already behind… And you don’t have Emi’s inhuman endurance either, so you’ve barely made it any respectable distance out of the dorms before your legs start to burn…You try to push through it, but your muscles are already fatigued.As you furrow your brow in frustration, the book materializes once more before your eyes.It beckons silently to be used.>Sanity: 3[] Fine, see what it has to offer.[] No. This isn’t a dire need.

You shrug. Might as well see what this thing has for you.Time slows as the pages flip before your eyes.‘Mend flesh.’ The words form within your mind as a series of runic symbols materialize on the page in blood-red ink.Narokath Santak Chattur'ghaYour vision suddenly blurs and feeling leaves your body as you tumble to the ground, feeling a malevolent power coursing through you.You slam into the ground, but…It doesn’t hurt.Your eyes remain out of focus as you stagger upwards, as the lenses of your eyes have hardened momentarily and can’t focus properly…The act of rising, though… is easy for you.Your internal reality becomes awash with visceral sensations – the feel of fire… of a stream of blood flowing over your toes. The taste of Absinthe.Suddenly, it ends.The world feels… further away. The sound of screaming and crying is louder. Your thoughts are dimmer.>Sanity -1But at the same time, your body is restored, but from injuries and fatigue.With a shrug and a small smile, you charge forth in the direction of the track.
[X] Check dat shit out
>>19181259>mend fleshDo we have arms now?
>>19181259Sanity for the power of gods? Sure.
>>19181259So still no arms?That book's just being a dick.
Do we lose a sanity point every time we use this ability now? Or is it a one time initial thing?
>>19181259MADNESS FOR THE MADNESS GOD
Lilly restored her sight in one end.Rin will get arms in one here. Calling it.
>>19181259[Meanwhile]Hanako sits in her darkened room, painstakingly carving the features into a porcelain doll almost identical to Hisao.Humming a light tune, she nonchalantly twrils her small blade around as she closes her eyes, seemingly plucking details out of her memory.After a moment, she returns to work while the sun climbs high enough to cast a few angular rays through the gaps in her curtains.The few shards of light scattered about her chamber reveal the shelves to be filled with rows of intricate porcelain dolls.Their soulless glassy eyes and smooth pale faces line her walls.“There you go.” She says finally, finishing her work on the doll before setting it on the bed and admiring her handiwork.“It’s niiiiiice… But…” She puts a hand to her mouth and giggles. “The real thing would be so much better to play with…”A knocking from the door draws her attention. “Hanako?” A soft voice purs.“Oh…” She rises and moves over to the door. “Good morning, Lilly.” The portal opens to reveal the serene face of her blonde caretaker.“Good morning, Hanako.” She says, entering the room. “Ready for class?” “It seems the cloak about the tome was lifted this morning, if only for a moment.” The blind witch speaks softly, taking a seat beneath her protégé’s field of porcelain dolls.“And… i-is that good o-or bad?” Hanako asks, nervously snuggling up against Lilly.As she contemplates the question, an unholy fire lights up within those sightless eyes. As Hanako nuzzles up against her she smiles softly. “A mix of both.”
>>19181319I think we can do just as well without arms.But if we get the chance to give Emi her legs back, we should go with that.
>>19181325OH MAH LANTA
>>19181325Oh Lordy.
>That book's just being a dick.If the book was being a dick, we would have gotten the Ulyoth version of the spell.>Recover magick! That is, exactly the same amount of magick that it takes to cast this spell!
>>19181325Maybe we can make Hanako yandere the shit out of Lilly
Without running out of breath, you reach the track field to find Emi and Hisao warming up together.“You’ve got to get some flexibility in you.” She tells Hisao. “Like this!”God bless you, Emi.As you approach, she sees you and sighs before muttering something to Hisao and sprinting over to you.“Oh, morning, Rin!” He calls to you before Emi shoots him a glare and he returns to stretching.“Hey…” She begins, seemingly not knowing where to go next. “…I’m surprised you got here so fast… I had a pretty good pace going, too…”No words come to mind, and instead you simply stare vacantly at her…What would the breeze be like if it were made of fire?“Rin?” She snaps you back to reality by utting a hand on your shoulder. “Sorry about freaking out earlier.”You shrug. “It’s OK.”She nods. “Listen, me and Hisao have to get our routine done, but we can talk later…”Her eyes take on a rare pensive tone… As if trying to figure out how to phrase what’s in her head…You know that feel.>Sanity: 2[] Ok, I’ll wait for you on the bleachers. [] Ok, I’ll wait for you by the school entrance.
>>19181466This. Lilly will just keep stepping all over Hanako to get to Hisao, not even considering that Hanako wants him...until it's too late.

>>19181530>Use black magic at the cost of sanity to get here in time> Immediately fuck off.Lol, Wheats.
[x] Ok, I’ll wait for you on the bleachers.
“Ok.” You affirm. “I’ll wait for you on the bleachers. You don’t mind if I watch, do you?”Emi freezes and looks back to Hisao. “Huh?”“Running. You don’t mind if I watch the two of you run, right?”“Oh!” She exclaims. “No, you’re good.”You nod and move over to your usual seat.Hisao notices your presence and waves to you – to which you return a nod.As the two of them begin their routine, you kind of regret having dashed here so fast.You don’t have you bag on you… otherwise, you might have tried a gesture.This isn’t quite Emi at her Emiest… But it’s close.Hisao, though, is clearly having a difficult time. He looks as if he might collapse at any moment…A souring thought.After the run is over, the three of you head off in different directions to shower and change.You don’t get a chance to talk in any meaningful capacity with Emi on the sojourn over and realizing you’re both late for class, she grabs you almost as soon as she’s done showering and you charge off together.“Sheesh, Sorry about that.” She tells you as you ascend to your classroom. “I kind of got caught up.”You shrug as you round the bend.“Ugh…” A sound catches your attention.Mutou stumbles past you, wreaking of blood, wearing his coat backwards and a pair of shoes constructed from human fingernails.“Sorry I’m late, class.” He mutters, walking into the room absentmindedly. “I ran into unexpected problems.”You tone him out so you can focus on more important issues.“So Emi…”>Sanity: 2[] Let’s skip class.

[] Can we talk about the book at lunch?She will find this offer a little harder to refuse than the other one.
>>19181671>“Ok.” You affirm. “I’ll wait for you on the bleachers. You don’t mind if I watch, do you?”>Emi freezes and looks back to Hisao. “Huh?”So are they already?… Somebody should tell Mutou he's in the wrong room.[x] Let’s skip class. I wanna know about the book now.

>>19181671>[x] Let’s skip class. I wanna know about the book now.
>skip classI don't think we'll be missed.
“Emi.” You say, stopping her.“Hm?”“Let’s just skip class. I wnna know about that book now.”Your legless friend scrunches her mouth in displeasure. “Hm… Rin… You’ve already missed a lot.”You shrug. “It’ll be fine. I think. Maybe not, but the book’s bothering me more.”Emi moves to say something, but then freezes.Suddenly, the air becomes chilled and stifling; fear crawls up your spine.From the other end of the hallway, that same suited blonde lady from before walks past you.She heads, into…Yours and Emi’s Classroom…“Hey class!” You hear her exclaim. “Akira Satou, at your service. Your previous teacher had an accident at the festival yesterday, so I’m gonna be your replacement for the rest of the semester!”An unenthusiastic applause echoes back out to yours and Emi’s position in the hallway.With this spartan introduction, the new teacher begins setting up a chemistry lab… And begins drawing out what looks like plans for a pipe bomb on the blackboard.Emi sighs. “Well, ok. If we’ve got a substitute, she won’t be taking role, probably. Can you promise me you’ll go next time, though?”>Sanity: 2[] Yes.[] Maybe.

[x] Maybe.Going to a class taught by Akira? I don't think so Tim.

>>19181922Wait a minute....we could have stayed in and learned how to make PIPE BOMBS? Fuck this magic shit, explosives are the way to go.
>>19181922[] Yes.I think we will need to settle with a more sane routine, starting tomorrow. At least until we go back to 4 SAN
>>19182141Gonna agree here. Akira seems to not be on the same page as Lilly. If Akira doesn't yet view Rin as a threat, we could learn some GREAT devil magicks or practical villainy from her.Or spend out what's left of our sanity and have to load six threads back
>>19181922http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwVA698Hx2g[x] Maybe. Which is probably no.
Slowly, you nod. “Yes. Definitely, I think. I can do that.”Emi smiles and takes you by the sleeve as she accepts your words."Good. Class is necessary, even if you're not really that crazy about it."“The hell do you mean?” You ask. “In your route, you having no plans for the future was basically a defining character trait. Why the hell are you supposed to be the responsible one in this relationship?”Emi sticks her tongue out. “Because shut up.”!!!“THIS ISN’T REALLY HAAAAPPEEEENING!!!!” You shriek, mentally coming back to your agreement to attend class from now on.These dellusions... They're getting worse...Your head feels like it's made out of bricks and marshmallow paste.Emi’s expression falls a few notes as she pieces together an idea for what must have happened.“Ok then, let’s head up to the roof…”You leave your class behind you for the time being and traverse up to the roof, where you unceremoniously flop down onto the roof.The two of you sit in silence for a while, staring up at the clouds before Emi turns to you.Her normally energetic eyes take on an uncharacteristically weary tone…“Alright, Rin.” She sighs. “What do you wanna know?”
>>19182171EVERYTHING
>>19182171[Meanwhile]Finishing up a teatime class-ditching session, Hanako pours a set of chess pieces into a tub as Hisao and Lilly rise from their seats.“Well, that was fairly relaxing.” He muses, handing Lilly her bag.“That it was…” The blonde witch agrees.“W-we c-c-can d-do this as m-much as you want, H-Hisao.” Hanako stammers, a small blush taking form on her face as she watches Hisao out of the corner of her eye.Lilly takes her bag from Hisao’s hands, but then sets it down on the table.“Hisao, if I might make a request?” She purrs with a sweet smile.“Huh?” He asks, a bit startled, but is soothed quickly by Lilly’s charisma. “Of course. What is it?”“Would you mind if I were to quickly feel your face?”[Part 9 End]
