It’s a beautiful Thursday morning. Nobody says that about Thursday, but yesterday was such a great day that it spilled over. You want to keep that momentum! Taking down Youhao will be hard to topple, but you’ll forgive yourself if you have a good relaxing day. Nothing fancy. The day before, you partied yourself out. Today, you’ll recover. Does this count as keeping momentum? You know your team will appreciate this pace.
Memories rush back from yesterday night: The railing talks, the food, the karaoke, and the unforgettable moment with Pumpkin. It’s starting to feel like your relationship isn’t cursed. Speaking of, you wonder if she’s around. She couldn’t have left this early in the morning, right? This is earlier than your usual waking time. She can’t elude your breakfast! But you can’t expect anything from this girl…
You get up from the couch… to drop back onto its comforts. No reason to stand up, these pillows were meant to be sit over. On the table, a glimpse of a note catches your attention. It’s addressed to you. You turn your head back to notice your room’s door wide open — and no one inside. Pumpkin is either gone, or is in the kitchen. You can hear someone whistling inside the latter…
Wait, that’s not whistling, that’s chirping! It must be Crossbill. In that case, you assume this letter belongs to Pumpkin. How old fashioned. You wonder why not leave a message on the phone. You assume because it’s more personal. That’s what Bradford Jr. says. He spent the night with her, so he knows better. It feels like you should read it at a later moment, but curiosity can get the better of you...
You have a long but relaxing day waiting; well, it’d be more relaxing if you didn’t have to go to school… You’d think that a curfew would stop that crap, but you have the feeling that’s long lifted if Pumpkin is nowhere to be seen.
You have too many things to do…
What do you do?
>Check on the bird in the kitchen. What’s Crossbill up to?
>Read Pumpkin’s letter. You can’t wait!
>Tell the team to get ready for school while you prepare breakfast! Time to rise and shine!
>Write Up.

Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared!(NEW) Dice Mechanic:We always roll 1d100s!
Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)!When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked.Rolling 100 is a critical! There are no Critical Failures anymore!The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result!Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight.Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

The worst feeling during a slumber party is to wake up before everyone else, and awkwardly exist in the limbo only your phone can help you ignore; you better check out who is in the kitchen so it isn’t lonely for them. It must be Crossbill, but maybe someone learned chirping — you bet Celia could do it. Though, yesterday you saw Odetta flapping a lot when you hugged her…With the letter in your pocket to read as soon as you can, you take a moment to attempt to look somewhat presentable before stepping in…“Hey, Bestie, want some coffee?” Credit where credit is due, it is Crossbill! She woke up early, but that doesn’t mean she’s rolling out with vigor. Her disheveled-self showing as much.“No, thanks. I woke up fully energized.” You’re in a great mood.“Lucky you! I need the extra punch ‘cause I feel like someone ran over my body with an excavator.” Crossbill grins. “But you and I know you need some fuel in your system.”“Relax, I’m not leaving this apartment without breakfast, that’s for sure.” You wink.“Meow.” Bradford Jr. feels the same way. You all are going to eat.“I just need some of that juice…” You grab a glass from Celia’s concoction. “So, how are you holding up, Bestie? We didn’t get to talk much after all was said and done.”“Look at me, I’m as pristine as ever! Ya know I’m unstoppable when it matters.” Crossbill winks.“You don’t have to tell me twice.” You wiggle your eyebrows.

For all intents and purposes, taking down the mafia was the most high-stakes warm up conceivable. Taking it down a notch for the near future wouldn’t be the worst thing. In other words, you don’t wanna think about it at this time…“Not now. Today, we relax.” You proclaim like a law decree! “Wanna get cuddly with your bestie on the couch?” Your eyebrows are wiggling.“I forget you *can* get tired.” It slipped Crossbill’s mind. “And yeah, I can’t say no to my favorite cuddle bug, can I?” She’s comparing you to Chio, who mercilessly kicked her out of the bed. She’ll never forgive Mamariko.“Thank you, this tiny feeble bug appreciates it.” You respond in jest.With beverages in hand, you both return to the living room, and get cozy with one another — the blankets warming your bodies together. The soothing calm of the morning being your background music for the friendly chit-chat. If there’s one thing you want to be grateful for on this day, it’s that your bestie is with you and not in a stinky cell. But as things get comfortable, a question arises, what’s next?“Meow.” Bradford Jr. breaks the idle chatter with his bombastic voice.“Let me tell you that you’re a hell of lot more huggy than I remember! Not that I’m complaining. But the first time I hugged you, you were all cagey, Knockout. You know, back then.” Crossbill chuckles as she remembers a timeline that never happened.“When I got you the autograph, right?” You recall your date with Chio during the Bubble Dimension. The one Crossbill deliberately ruined for no good reason by stealing your glasses. Hold on… “Hey, did I ever get you for that? For the glasses stuff?”“Ohohoho, Knockout! I can’t seem to remember all the details of our Food Cart adventure. It was all but a dream to me in this world…” Crossbill is an awful actress. She remembers every single detail as clear as day. “Besides, what happens in that world stays in that world. Right?”“Yeah, I guess.” You furrow your eyebrows.“C’mon, I’ll make it up to you even if I don’t have to.” Crossbill gets excited.“How?” You love presents! “You don’t have to. I’m only kidding.”“Take a guess and I miiiiight give it to you…” Crossbill winks.Now you have an offer…How do you respond?>“I want you to tell me more about you. I feel like I never got the whole picture!” Inquire about Crossbill’s past.
>“I wanna spend the day with you. Let’s have some fun!” Have a normal fun day with Crossbill! Nothing fancy! After school, of course.
>“You should ask Chio about it! Maybe we can all hang out?” You don’t mind your date ruined, but Chio? That’s a different story.
>“I need you to wipe some footage out of existence.” You need T_T Neko’s tapes. You’re sure she taped your little love session together…

That’s code for “you’ll get what you want as long as you ask for it”. And if there’s one thing you’re known for, it’s your Inquisitive Soul! Just ask Galactic! You hope he’s having a good vacation time after the prison escape. Either way, you must focus on the graceful bird by your side.“I want you to tell me more about you. I feel like I never got the whole picture!” You feel ashamed as her bestie for not knowing more.“It’s easy for you to fill the gaps. One day, I was a hopeful street girl doing thieving antics, then became a senator. It’s a clear path.” Crossbill jokes around.“Yeah, if you accept missing 7 seasons of the series.” You furrow your eyebrows.“Don’t you prefer what you saw in the dream timeline? I got a pretty clean arc from there to here, all things considered.” Crossbill has an air of uncertainty, like she’s about to ruin your perception of her. “You helped me meet my childhood hero, we made an unforgettable promise, and despite how it should’ve worked with our memories, we’re here together again.”“Buddies catch up, don’t they? And I’m no second-rate friend. I might be considered Best Tier.” Besides, you know it isn’t how it went here…“Right. Don’t take it wrong. I’m not ashamed of my past. Every misdeed, every trouble, and every triumph — I’m proud of them.” Crossbill puts her hands behind her head. “But you worked so hard to make it right for so many people, and that didn’t happen over here… It’ll be a lot to take.”“I’m pretty sturdy. And if I can make it right over here, you know I’ll try to.” You assure.“Illusions don’t make the world better...” Crossbill whistles with a relaxing and melancholic tune. “...Back in X Town, they never caught me. Not the police, not the stuffy mustache guy, or your merry band of tomatoes. So the true fantasy of all of this is that you got your hands on me. I’m invincible.”“...Do you want me to pick you up again? I will do it. I did it over there, and in this dimension too. Don’t tempt me.” You get stern.“You’re awfully competitive.” Crossbill wants to match the energy, but she’s comfy…“I take challenges seriously.” You adjust your glasses. “Is this really the place the timelines divert?”“I mean, for me, the whole stay was uneventful. You remember the mustached guy, right? The secret government agent recruits young prospects for his agency. He stached my trophies and all.” Crossbill jogs your memory. You think his name was Ewan. He barely registered in your mind. You don’t know if to commend him for that, or call him forgettable. “He never fessed up, but I learned the truth anyhow, and I skipped town. I can’t have a guy like that on my tail.”“Where did you go? Weren’t you scared?” You wonder.

Wait, you can’t get this comfy or else you’d be trapped! You have obligations, like making breakfast for everyone and going to school. Your glasses thicken upon your determination to follow your nerdy ways…As your chatter continues, you leave the embrace of comfort behind to start preparing for the day — Crossbill, as useful as she always is, decides she’s gonna get the rest of the team up and running as you cook the earliest meal of the day. One little special before moving onto normality.Everyone starts showing up one by one, their precious faces ready to tackle the day, and Little O begins to choke you to death.“YOU’LL NEVER SING AGAIN!” Odetta uses all her strength to strangle you. Which barely registers. She has no meat on those bones. It’s sad. The most sensible members of your team try to stop her, but you call them off.“W-What’s wrong with you?! S-Stop it! Stop it!!!” Vera is the only one who doesn’t heed your call because it’s fucking stupid to let someone choke you regardless of the circumstances.“He has the vocal range of a fire alarm! It’s an objective good!!!” Odetta is determined, but she’s weak and frail.“Oh, Lil’ O, you silly peanut. You’re so funny.” You have a hearty chuckle. “If you let me help you with your exercises, I know you’ll be able to really cause some damage.”“Not if I never stop! Gggggh…!!!” Odetta continues doing her best.“No wonder she struggled against Sasha…” Crossbill blinks rapidly. Rora nods in agreement.Odetta has become the worst backpack of all times as she hangs from your neck. After a bit, breakfast is done! Everyone eats together in communion.“D-Don’t feed her!” Vera complains to Rora for helping Odetta with her breakfast.“B-But she asked me to.” Rora feels bad for the ghost.“If I asked you to slap Lydie, would you do it?” Vera says sarcastically, but then starts coming around to the idea.“Ha! I’d dodge it with ease!” Lydie looks down on the bunny’s boxing skills.Liu absentmindedly and gently taps the back of Lydie’s head, causing the blonde to freeze. Celia breaks into laughter. “S-Sorry…” Liu’s guilt takes her over as she begins to hiccup.“Y-Young Liu, how could you…?” Lydie never expected this betrayal.“Cold-blooded backstabbing…” Crossbill shakes her head in disappointment. While distracted, Sasha eats the bird’s food. “W-What the hell?! New Sasha, h-how could you…?”“I’m famished, and I continue to be.” Sasha admits. You serve them more food.“I should think about what I’ll do with ya, while all of them are gone.” Crossbill begins thinking.“Are you sure you want her hanging out on your neck?” Celia is a bit concerned about Odetta trying to kill you.“We can pull her off you with ease.” Matilda is very interested in helping.“Please, for the love of common sense…” Vera doesn’t want Odetta near you!

This is quite the nice breakfast, no need to shake the boat just yet.“Huh, after breakfast I’ll make a decision.” You want everyone to focus on what’s really important here: breakfast! It’s technically *not* the most important meal of the day, but you’ll treat it as such anyhow. “But first, Lydie, please forgive Liu. I can’t stand to watch friends break apart like this…”“I’m so magnanimous that I’ll heed your request. My dastardly Liu, let’s leave this moment in the past and carry on in the future!” Lydie is an angel!“I-I’m really sorry, I don’t know what came over me…” Liu apologizes firmly.“Now, as a sign of forgiveness: please, caress the impact zone.” Lydie demands affection. Liu looks around, expecting anyone to protest, but Vera doesn’t care, she’s busy with the murder attempt… The adorable girl begins petting your fake-girlfriend. The radiant girl smiles.“Meow.” Bradford Jr. believes this to be a fair trial.“…” Sasha pats Crossbill’s empty plate. After a blank stare, the bird accepts this strange apology for what it is and pets Sasha’s head for reassurance. You love happy and complex endings like these.And the meal comes and goes. School awaits. You’ll part ways with Crossbill and Sasha…“You’re not going to leave with her choking you.” Vera furrows her eyebrows.“Yeah, totally, there’s no way they’re going to let you pass through the main gate. Olivia tried that once, and bzzzt.” Aurora remembers her little sister’s shenanigans. Hold on a moment, isn’t Bruna the one who does idiotic stuff? Olivia is supposed to be the smart one! Who was she even carrying?“What if we disguise her?” Celia recommends. Matilda nods.“I have my bag.” Matilda pulls it up!“Yeah, with a skirt, there’s no way she doesn’t pass as one of us!” Celia likes this idea even more.“T-That doesn’t solve the real issue here.” Vera is annoyed for obvious reasons.With the help of the cooking trio, Odetta has been transformed into… a Baby Buffalo Cape of sorts.“Perfect.” Matilda thinks this would make Ms. Cooldown proud.“…” Vera doesn’t believe this would make Ms. Cooldown proud.“Hehe, it’s cute.” Liu takes some pictures. You pose, of course.“...What do I look like?” Odetta is worried.“Why don’t you get off and see?” You suggest.“Screw you.” Odetta won’t lose.

Everyone floods the school auditorium to the brim, a handful of teachers try to get people into their assigned seats, some deliberately take it upon themselves and direct students anywhere as long as they have somewhere to sit. The curfew didn’t deter anyone from coming today, maybe people are getting used to the idea of the chaos engulfing the city. Or they feel safe after Lloydington’s stunt. Or nobody paid attention.But you were shuffled. The buffalo cape split right at the end, you and Aurora were stopped and thrown away to a different line altogether. The back of the east wing seats are all yours. You damn Mr. Rodenhall for this.But there’s a pleasant surprise, Ichie is here! You get to sit right in the middle between her and Aurora. Also, you’re being surrounded by Purple Roses. This is a mess.“Master, Aurora, it’s good to see you!” Ichie can’t believe her luck! She looks prim and proper today, none of the lousy hobo carelessness that you were used to. She’s ruined. You blame Ame. You hear Odetta say ‘what the fuck’ under her breath for whatever reason.“Woohoo! At least we’re around someone we know!” Aurora is happy to see Ichie. Have they interacted with each other before? You don’t recall it.“Wait, you know each other?” You raise an eyebrow.“We both were transferred to this school the other day. We’re officially Paperwork Pals, as I coined.” Ichie recalls like it was the day or two before. Because it was. Woo. You wonder if that happened after the farm thing, but before the fan club shenanigans. It’s literally the only time it could, unless there’s a void in time created by the school ghost. No. Not Odetta. She’s the *new* school ghost.“Oh yeah, did I forget to tell you that? Like, Yu Yan and the vice prez hooked us up. Ya know, the other candidate? She ain’t as mean as she acted.” Aurora remembers.“Cool, I’m glad you’re part of our school now!” You smile. They both smile back. It’s nice to be all smiles. You feel like the paperwork shouldn’t be this easy. But smile-smile. “Hey, Ichie, how much fun did you have last night?” You noticed she’s in good spirits despite spending the night in Nariko territory!“Not to brag, but I truly believe I was the heart of the party!” Ichie acts all smug. Whatever happened there, she had a blast, and that’s all you can ask for. Your cape groans loudly upon Ichie’s remarks. “Fabulous cape, by the way.”“This? Uh, it’s nothing.” You try not to give it too much attention, since Odetta is under it and not pleased to be around Ichie for whatever reason.Before you can decline to give more lore about your excellent piece of garment, teachers ask for decorum as the lights dim, and the spotlight focuses on the stage. The important announcement is about to begin!

After reaching the climax, the meeting is promptly dismissed. It can’t end on a higher note than that. The myriad of teachers redirect the students to the classrooms in an orderly manner. You hear your lovely new Principal talk about needing more helping hands. She did mention before leaving the stage that she’s planning on expanding the school staff in all ways… Now back to the shuffle of a regular school day. Goodbye, everyone, it’s just you and your cape now.And the news doesn't stop there, the first class of the day has its own announcement, and it’s something you should’ve seen coming. There’s a new student joining your class. It’s Rora. You don’t have to play this up, you knew there was a chance, and you’re glad it materialized! Your classmates welcome her with open arms. You’re a band of misfits at this point.“Let’s all have tons of fun!” Aurora smiles at everyone as the teacher guides her to her new seat behind Scarlet. Pretty close to you! She waves at you. Of course, you wave back! Judging by people’s response, it didn’t register that she’s the principal’s nerdy daughter.As classes continued, a bunch of names — from teachers, to students, and even staff members — were called one by one to the principal’s office at random intervals. Holly must be conducting the interviews that she mentioned in her speech. You can’t know for certain, because, frankly, none of you have been called. Wait. That’s your name! A-ha! Yeah, maybe it’s too close to the end of the period, but you’re legally skipping some of the classes. Take that, Honey Bubbles! Err, you shouldn’t look so smug on your way out.On your way to the office, you remember Pumpkin’s letter. It’s in your pocket for whenever you want to read it. Sadly, classes didn’t lend themselves to it. The enthusiasm of having your fellow Red Flame partner took your attention away. And no, you didn’t read her thoughts. That wasn’t the problem. But if you did, that would’ve been very distracting.Anyway, Holly welcomes you inside her office! It’s your first time here in a while. There’s nothing here to write home about, but you can see the sprinkles of Holly’s presence decorating the place. From her little trinkets, family photos, and other homely touches. You don’t recall ever being here during Conti’s pitiful short reign, but you imagine this place was as boring as his tests.“Please, don’t be a stranger! Grab a seat and a little treat, Mr. Johnny.” Holly gently pushes a plate full of snack cakes on her desk in your direction. “Or do you believe it to be more appropriate if I call you by your last name? Mr. Ando? Calling you Mr. Noon is out of the question.”

You gotta address the big news before even entertaining this question! Holly is your principal. How does that even happen?!“I don’t know how much time I can take from you, but I wanna know how you ended up as principal! This is crazy!” You react properly to the events now that you get to relax. “And congratulations!”“Thank you~! It came to me as a surprise, so swiftly as well.” Holly forgot her new job is great news to everyone who cares about her! “Yesterday, I was going through my second round of job interviews here. It was me and the former principal. By that time of the day, there were rumors about the curfew being enacted, so I pleaded to him if we could do this quickly before we got in trouble. He told me he knew who I was, and knew what was going on; and that left me confused. Before I could ask what he meant, he asked me what job I wanted in a hurry, and I jokingly said this to lower the tension. He went totally white and gave it to me, signed the paperwork — and left the building shortly after.” Holly sounds confused even now. “Ms. Cahun was my angel that day, and together we figured out the next steps. And here I am!”“Huh… he gave you the job just like that?” You’re dumbfounded. “Can he even do that…?”“That’s what we needed to figure out! It turns out, yes! I needed a strong recommendation, which I got.” Holly nods. “He was such a strange but kind man.”“Right…” You know this is the attitude of someone who owes the mob some money. But you shouldn’t do those types of guesses. “You totally aced that interview then!”“You think so too? Ms. Cahun kept insisting on that! Almost like she wanted herself to believe it.” Holly smiles from ear to ear. “Anyway, what kind of fun request do you have for me, Mr. Johnny?”“None. I will help *you* instead. Tell me what you need, and I’ll get it done. Your first day as principal will go smoothly!” You wink as you bite your snack cake. Wait, you find this pretty good! “...okay, maybe just a recipe trade for your snack cakes. How’d you get them so plump and moist?”“Oh, Mr. Johnny, you’re my other helpful angel over here. If I need anything during the day, I’ll be sure to call you over.” Holly is glad to have you around. “As for this plump and moisty buddy, hmm, I’ve never written the recipe down. It’s all done by heart.” Holly laments. As expected, her cooking style is similar to Rora’s. But an idea forms in her mind! “I got it, follow me to the home economics room, and I’ll show you exactly how it is done.”“Like, now?” You can skip more classes?!“I wouldn’t be a problem solver if I delay the opportunities to help. Please, follow me.” Holly wants to cook together! And impress you!There was never much contention before this meeting, but this is by far the best principal you ever had.

You won’t be a future honor student if you don’t follow your newest principal’s indications — better learn from the best! Your repertoire needs it! But it’s not like you want to be one, you don’t even know what that implies, you’re a humble buffalo man and not much else. Well, and the guy who stopped the school shooter, but that’s old news. The brand new news is heading straight to a Home Economics Classroom! Better trail behind!The only thing that isn’t empty in this classroom are the pantries, Holly pulls out the ingredients for the Snack Cakes one by one — you study every choice as you write it all down on your trusty notepad.“Mr. Johnny, you aren’t only going to watch, are you?” Holly expects you to do more than follow along.“I’m ready to assist in whatever you need, ma’am.” You act all proper as a joke. She softly giggles, catching on what you’re doing.“This is about feelings, Mr. Ando. Here, stir it gently.” Holly hands over her dough mix. “It’s all about being kind to the ingredients, put all your emotions in…”“Like this?” You follow orders as you keep paying attention!“Hmm, picture who you are cooking this for, and you’ll know.” Holly softly whispers, as to not anger the dough.Now you *really* understand Aurora’s method of baking. It’s really all vibes! This is not how you usually do things. In fact, desserts are better cooked following the recipe by the letter. It’s an anti-thesis of what you’ve learned. Prof. Bombastus and Kobashi would be disgusted! Kata would be more receptive. Mat… Mat is always her own thing.This is all to say, it’s impossible for you to replicate Holly’s formula. You’re going to end up with two distinct trays of goodies: The Holly batch, and your batch. Holly assures you that your mix will be as good as hers, even if they’re different. Again, this is a little difficult for you to sink in for pastries, but you’ll get the hang of it.You listen to some loud sniffing from the hallway! It reminds you of Donna, but whoever she is with (likely Verity), told her not to follow the smell. That’s rude. Your Snack Cakes smell delicious. They’re supposed to be chased after by adorable women!But a second row of sniffing hits the hallway, this one you can’t recognize, but the voices talking amongst each other is a different story. One inquisitive soul barges in without thinking anyone could be here.

Many would say that your cooking lesson has been derailed, but true chefs know that testing your recipe on willing subjects gets you the best feedback! Or maybe not, it’s not like you’re professionally trained — at best you watched a reality show where a professional chef yelled at amateurs for not reaching arbitrary standards that aren’t even consistent between restaurants. You shouldn’t have watched those types of shows now that you gained an interest in cooking. You get so negative…The point is; it’s Snack Cake time! You and Holly share them around… Is this considered a bribe for good coverage?“Here, Stacy. I hope you enjoy them!” You hand over one of yours since she’s staying away from the main tray. Her teammates are more proactive than she is. “I’m Johnny by the way.”“T-T-T-Thanks, J-Johnny.” Stacy, the backup, shyly grabs your dessert like a wounded animal. “W-Wait, y-y-you’re *the* Johnny…?!” Her eyes open wide as she almost drops the snack cake, but gets a hold of it before disaster.“Huh? What do you mean?” You don’t know if it’s a positive or a negative thing. Like, people believe you killed Conti!“I-I-I’m sorry…! I didn’t mean anything by it…!” Stacy didn’t mean to insult you. “I-I’m just a silly toad. I shouldn’t have said anything. F-Forgive me...”“D-Don’t mind her, she’s extremely shy. And very grateful. Right?” Carmine, the main reporter, tries to save her buddy’s face.“Y-Yes, I’m as shy as the dark side of the moon, and grateful as I can be…” Stacy puts a napkin over her face out of instinct. “You’re too kind!”“As you can see, she’s a little flowery with her language. Hence why she’s our designated writer and editor. Please, look forward to her work.” Rodna tries to sell you on reading the newspaper.“Well, likewise, I made that one myself. So please, enjoy it.” You wink. She categorically blushes as tilts her head like the stiffest nod you’ve ever seen.“T-T-T-Thank you…!” Stacy feels pressured to enjoy it!“I’d be jealous if it wasn’t unprofessional.” Rodna half-jokes.“As lovely as it is always to speak to Johnny, we’re taking the spotlight from our main interviewee!” Carmine wants to focus back on Holly, even if it breaks her heart!“...Yeah, these snack cakes are to kill for!” Tina’s cosplay of Nina is reaching new heights with the way she’s munching.“I meant the principal, but good shout!” Carmine smiles!

You have plenty of experience helping shy girls overcome their fears. You’re not an expert, but you should give it a try. She’s cute after all!“I think we should help you face your fears at your own pace.” You admit you don’t like her strategy.“A man of action! This is why you capture everyone’s heart…” Rodna is impressed!“P-Pardon me...?!” Stacy trips on her bum out of shock. If she was in your view, you could’ve caught her. But you can help her to her feet instead! “I…!” She turns even redder as you help her up.“Don’t mind Stacy. She’s a little clumsy, but very much reliable.” Rodna tries to tell you. “I got it. Stacy, you do the interview.”“H-H-H-H-Huh?!!!” Stacy almost trips again, but you caught her by the waist this time!“I-It’s the only way he’s not going to think less of you.” Rodna is starting to doubt her own strategy.“No way I’ll ever think that of her.” You clarify. “But if this is too much for you, we can—”“I didn’t trip…?” Stacy’s eyes are wide open. “Only my sister has caught me…” You can hear her heartbeat!“The rest of the team gets demolished by her size when we catch her. But we always try.” Rodna explains they’re not monsters. “And I can’t tell you now… Stacy, you’re ready for our greatest secret. You’ll be part of *the club*...”“Huh…?” Stacy doesn’t follow.“It doesn’t matter, Stacy. It’s time for you to show up!” Rodna hypes up her friend.“I-It’s just a silly interview, no need to overdo it.” You keep the temperature down. “Stay calm, and we’ll get through this. It’ll be fun.”“Y-Y-Y-Yes…!” Stacy takes a deep breath and faces her anxieties head on. “T-Thank you so much…”And so, you tell them about your idea of bringing a mystery idol as a special guest for the school festival. Neither can believe this big scoop! It’s big because they truly believe you’re gonna do it. Now you have pressure. Great!As for how Stacy took this, well, she tapped out mid-interview because she kept losing her train of thought looking at you. The good thing is that she was never too embarrassed to not stare, but conducting an interview proved a fence too big jump. You can say you broke her first barrier of shyness! Congratulations to Stacy!“J-J-J-Johnny, can we ask you some questions…? Off the record…? P-Please!” Stacy has gotten really curious about you.The others have ended their interview as well. You feel like the entire team is ready to bombard you with questions. Your principal might join in for the fun of it.Carmine and Tina were waiting for this…

The School Newspaper Team is so polite and friendly, it’d be rude not to answer their questions! This couldn’t possibly go into strange territory, it’s off the record, not off the rails.“Huh, sure! I’m up for it!” Shouldn’t you be in classes? Whatever, your principal is supervising this. This is a lot of a hell more legal than stuffing your teacher inside a bag.“Off the record, you say? I hope you’re prepared!” Carmine, leader of the newspaper, is excited about this prospect.“T-That means any question, right?” Tina wonders out loud.“Yup!” You smile as they join your tiny group.“O-Oh my god, what can I ask? What can I ask?” Tina’s gears start working. Rodna shakes Tina so she’ll get a hold of herself.“May I, as well?” Holly wants to be a part of this activity.“I don’t see anything wrong with that. Go ahead.” You adjust your glasses. “I’ll answer with honesty and integrity.”“Let’s do this orderly.” Rodna wants everyone to take turns, her eyes looking around for a first target.“P-Please, I don’t want to be first…” The anxiety is too much for Stacy.“Tina, you start.” Rodna has decided on a ‘volunteer.’“B-B-But it’s so boring if I go first…” Tina doesn’t know what to say and knows it’ll be a letdown.“So your name is actually Tina, huh?” You… guessed it before…?“EEEP!!! I hoped you’d forgotten by now…! Oh no no no…!” Tina starts spinning in circles. “P-Please, don't mention what happened in front of the principal…!”“Oh dear, were you misbehaving? But you were so sweet before.” Holly teases. And, granted, it adds to Tina’s desperation.“Your secret is safe with me, Tina. And again, I won't forget a cute face.” You feel like a broken record as you wink. “You’re all warned.”“We knew that.” Rodna says with confidence.“W-Wait, I won’t be able to fade in the background…?!” Stacy was counting on it!“Sorry, not sorry.” You won’t ever delete your mental database. Never. “How about a question now?”

You said you were going to answer with integrity and honesty, and that’s what you’re going to do! Even if it sounds cryptic, it’ll be the truth!“These…” You unbutton your shirt a little to show the top one. Stacy’s eyes almost bulge out of her face. “And as far as how I got them, a big cat got me.”“T-That’s terrible!” Tina feels for you.“A-Awful all the way!” Stacy agrees. “N-Not the scar, that’s not what I meant, I shouldn’t be talking anymore.” She felt her words could be misconstrued and panicked. You chuckled to show her not to mind the details.“A big cat?” Rodna doesn’t want to call you a liar, but she has a good amount of skepticism.“Cats were swarming the city. The plague was controlled, but many believe the cats have gotten better at hiding. Maybe one of those?” Carmine feels guilty for bringing this up as she thought the story would be more cool or dramatic, not mundane.“I’m sorry, but unless it’s a saber tooth, I can’t buy that a cat did that.” Rodna is skeptical. “If you don’t feel like sharing the details, I’ll stop talking.”“Maybe he fought a tiger and he’s trying to be humble?!” Tina speculates.“There’s no man in this world who wouldn’t brag about fighting a tiger.” Rodna brings up a good point. But you disagree, if you fought a *bear* on the other hand… You shouldn’t think that, your sister would kill you if she knew you could take down a bear.“Don’t be so certain about that, dear.” Holly assures. Which prompts more questions than it answers. Did she fight a tiger? Or was it someone else? Did she win?“But yeah, it was a cat.” You keep it simple. You befriended that cat in ways you were never expecting though, so it’s all in the past!“B-But a tiger is cooler…” Tina wanted you to hype this up.“I believe you.” Carmine has unwavering trust in you. “Perhaps it’s a type of cat we’ve never seen before, and it’s hard to describe.” She believes it’s magic. Like flame magic. But she doesn’t have that context, but knows about the weird happenings in the city.“I see. A ghost cat it is.” Rodna decides.“A g-g-g-g-ghost…?” Stacy gets nervous.“W-W-W-We don’t like ghosts!” Tina is afraid. You feel your back cackling softly, you wonder how.“Don’t worry, I have your back.” And one on your back too. You find your own thoughts hilarious. Ha. “Ehem, next question?” You feel like everyone has to get at least one!“My turn. Whose roundness do you appreciate the most?” Rodna asks with the seriousness of a seasoned reporter.“Like, who is the most huggable?” You’re not entirely sure what she means by that question. “Everyone! Especially cute ones I like hugging a lot! Like Tina!”

You allow yourself to go with the flow and move on from here. You warmly say goodbye to the School Newspaper Team, and get one big hug from Holly to part ways. You’re leaving fully equipped with a couple of Snack Cakes you made, and one extra from Holly she sneaked in only for you. With this astronomically large amount of sugar in your possession, you look for a tranquil place to gather your thoughts, and even read a certain letter that has occupied your thoughts all morning…At a quiet spot inside the school, where no sound can be heard (near the classroom that Ichie was knighted as a cow), you lean on a wall — pull out the letter from your pocket, and begin reading it...“D-Don’t lean on the wall, moron!” Your cape aggressively reminds you that she’s alive. Whoops.“Sorry, my bad.” You lean on nothing and start reading the letter… But you’re close to the wall!Pumpkin’s letter read as follows:“Thank you again for letting me stay at your home. I don’t believe I properly conveyed how much it meant to me that you salvaged such a dreary day. Welcoming me with open arms in the dead of night is a gesture I don’t take lightly. You really came clutch, congrats!”“But you went beyond. Your warmth disarmed me entirely. The spite, the anger, the frustration. It all went away. It’s a rare quality. Now I can’t help but to see a path forward. We will work together, it won’t be smooth, but you earned this chance. It’s the hope that kills you.”“Now, it wouldn’t be much of a partnership if I don’t put myself out there. I suggest paying a visit to this humble little food place, and resume our talks. Both professional and private. Just a casual encounter. If you invite me, that’d be preferable. But don’t worry, I’ll pay. I owe you as much for the food.”“I rarely say this, but let’s do our best, okay?”You feel the warmth in the writing, you can tell she wanted this on paper instead of a text message to convey this…You have Pumpkin Pie’s personal number now!The break is close to being over, you’ll drop your Yu Yan vote, then go to classes...What’s next?>On the next break, you should talk to Bubbles! You feel the rumblings of Rora around.
>On the next break, you should talk to Yu Yan! You feel the rumblings of Matilda around.
>On the next break, you should talk to a random fan girl! You feel the rumblings of Lydie around.

You can’t add Pumpkin’s personal number without sending her a message. That’d be rude. In fact, you should arrange the meeting that she wants as soon as humanly possible! Even though it’s likely she’ll be busy. An idol schedule is nothing to mess with. That’s what Emily has texted you, and you believe in your secretary.You try to arrange a date with Pumpkin, but sadly, it’ll take some time for her to get back to you with a precise date. The rest of the week and the next one will be busy. Good thing you have exams to help distract you…Wooo…At least she seems enthusiastic! She’s using her own Punk-P line of emojis. Do you get royalties for that? Do you want royalties for that…? *Should* you get royalties for that…? Probably not. Fuck Chat-Now! Worthless app!That’s done as much as it can be in the meantime.…“Hey Odetta. Keep this a secret from everyone, okay?” You ask politely. She reacts well when she’s treated well.“You think I have any clue about who you were talking to?” Odetta grumbles. “And by the way, why don’t you just die? I’m choking you.”“Because I need to be there for you.” You say sarcastically.“Don’t get sassy with me, tall boy…. NGGGH…!” Odetta continues choking to no avail.“Promise me you won’t tell a soul.” You ask.“F-Fine! Do I look like someone who divulges secrets for profit? Don’t answer that.” Odetta half-jokes.“No, you look like a beautiful baby buffalo.” You deadpan.“…. GNGGGGGH!!!” Odetta applies double the strength, which is a fraction of the power of an ant.“Keep it quiet, we’re going back to classes.” You say. Odetta shuts her mouth. She’s a nice gal underneath the buffalo cape…Before entering your classroom, you find a ballot to vote for Yu Yan! The smug revolution is coming! What kind of school will this be with Holly and Yu Yan in charge?! You will soon know, and you should be terrified.Ideas were exchanged during classes. You listened to them. Absorbed them with ease. And blanked out during the time the teacher reinforced the material. Maybe upgrading your Knowledge so much made your daily life quite quaint. Just because it’s easy, doesn’t mean you don’t need to study. Keep that in mind.Speaking of keeping things in mind, it’s time for your lunch break! The largest break of them all! You have more time to explore now…With whom do you end up sitting with at lunch?! There’s so many happenings to discuss!>Scarlet and Aurora.
>Yu Yan, Nariko, & Ichie.
>Vera, Liu, & Lydie.
>Donna and Verity.
>Celia and Matilda.
>George and Henry.
>Trent.
>Some of the fan girls!
>Nina and her butler. You know, the one you sent to her.

You’re not going to pass on eating lunch during your lunch break, that’d be crazy! People shuffle too quickly for you to walk with a friend or ally to any spot. People are always desperate to get the best food from the lunch ladies, despite the fact that stock has never been a problem. You guess people don’t want their food to be cold and microwaved. You get it.With a confident strut and your flaming cape, you head to the cafeteria with meal in hand. As you pass through the hallways, your vision is impaired by two beautiful hands under your glasses. A giggle escapes the perpetrator. But it doesn’t appear this is going to end up in a kidnapping. You’re very kidnappable after all. But whoever this is doesn’t know that.“Guess who…?” A playful voice escapes her lips. You recognize this voice in an instant, it’s Sina. You saw her the other day, so the memory is still fresh.“Hey, Sina!” You cheerfully say, knowing there’s another surprise Dewitt around!“Wow, you’re good…” Sina didn’t expect you to be so fast and confident in your choice.“I’m better at remembering pretty faces, but no way I’d forget your voice.” You say in jest. But it’s true, you don’t forget them.“Hehe… you’re so lively…” Sina lets your eyes free! “I’m sorry for catching you off guard, but I had to jump at the chance to entertain myself.”“Don’t act like you aren’t a pleasant surprise.” You say. “What brings you here again? Missed me?” You wiggle your eyebrows. It’s only been a couple of days though.“Perhaps...” Sina coyly giggles. “I should ask you to come by my apartment when I feel lonely. You have my number, right?”“Yup, right here.” You show your phone. Long ago, you got it on a piece of paper.Sina snatches your phone and takes a selfie. “Here, a reminder that I’m always open to chat…”“T-Thank you.” You get your phone back. Pet-Vortexia takes a moment to stare at the photo before saving it in a folder. That looked inefficient. “What are you up to?”“A friend is keeping me waiting. Or should I say, a precious student? If things settle...” Sina wonders out loud. You’re by the nurse's office.“Wait, you’re our school nurse?” You didn’t think Holly would act that fast to get new staff! This is crazy!“Assistant nurse. Again, If we figure out the details; I’m working an emergency shift, no experience needed or anything…” Sina softly giggles. “And I got the offer before the new administration, if you’re wondering.”“It didn’t even cross my mind. And I’d love to have you around.” You smile.“Hehe. You’re so innocent and adorable…” Sina checks her phone. “...My buddy sure is late. Welp, I’ll be seeing you around, Johnny, lunch time won’t last forever…” Sina doesn’t want to keep you here.That is true, but your break isn’t short…

You’re not planning on going anywhere just yet. It’s a good idea to spend time with Sina, if she’s willing! You only have to make sure you’re not intruding.“I’ll keep you company if you want.” You casually show you have no plans like a cool guy.“Want that? I need it. It’s much more pleasant than standing motionless.” Sina agrees to keep talking. “...What’s on your mind?”“Your hair is amazing. How do you do it?” Your fingers run through as you ask.“Thanks...” Sina grabs your wrist. “...It’ll feel way better when you pull it.” This woman isn’t playing around! Or wants to play around!“R-Right, I can imagine why.” You cough. Sina is too intense!“Hehehe.” Sina loves your expression. “She’s truly taking her sweet time…” She briefly turns her head from side to side. No friend in sight.“Speaking of sweets, do you want a Snack Cake?” You offer one of your babies!“Don’t mind if I do…” Sina cheats her hunger with swiftness. That bun didn’t stand a chance. “...Sorry, in my household, sweets are a rare, fleeting treat.”“Hey, I’m glad that you liked it.” You smile.“I can feel all the love you poured into it.” Sina’s tongue swipes around her lips. “I owe you a favor…”“Don’t mention it. As long as I get to know more about you. We’ll be even.” You wink. “Tell me about your school days. Did you enjoy your time around parts like these? I mean, you’re getting a job here.”“When I could, I suppose…” Sina never thought if she liked this place or not. “I had a less than ideal attendance record… I’m rotten... frail…” Sina chuckles. “I had a couple of good years. Met people, played sports, and traveled around the country. But I broke down, and everything vanished. Then I got up again, and built myself up. It's an infinite cycle. But, yes, I remember those times fondly...”“Are you alright now?” You want her to expand on this.“I’ll never be sure...” Sina knows this is a heavy topic. “I gotta enjoy it while it lasts.”“Well, I’ll be there during the good times, the bad times, and the funny middles.” You repeat someone else’s motto.“Hehehe, you’re so sweet.” Sina wants to believe in you…“Are you baiting me into getting another Snack Cake? Because I have more.” You wiggle your eyebrows to lighten up the mood.“You’ll never hear me say ‘no’ to anything you offer, thanks…” Sina gets to eat another Snack Cake. “It’s like my mother’s…” She loves it!“Well, she taught me!” You adjust your glasses.“...It tracks.” Sina just put two and two together. “You should open a bakery…”

You gotta figure out why Luna (Lulu?) knows you! You’ll throw every single guess that you have and pray. Something has to work!“I’m the Buffalo Man, maybe you saw me in the newspaper?” You adjust your glasses.“What is that?” Sina tries not to laugh.“It’s a long, complicated story…” You pretend it’s deeper than it is.“I heard about it, but I couldn’t grab a copy of the newspaper. Rumors say a secret organization snatched all of ‘em… Someone is targeting you.” Lulu (Luna?) doesn’t believe this is how she saw you. The only secret organization you know about is your own fan club… “Or the principal shut it all down ‘cause you made him look like a pansy.”“Don’t remind me. People think I killed him.” You scratch your cheek in clear sign of discomfort.“That’d be hardcore. And we got Sina’s mom as a replacement. It’s just cool all around.” Luna (Lulu?) backs you up. You nod.“...Thank you for the assist, I suppose.” Sina has little clue about what’s going on.“But ‘Buffalo Man’ doesn’t pack that much of a punch as a title. You know what would be sick? If you’re the Baphomet Rider instead! Tell me I ain’t a literary genius. It’s something straight out of the book you lent me, right, Sina?” Lulu (Luna?) nudges her friend.“It does sound more intriguing. But…” Sina doesn’t know what to make of it.“If we’re talking about cool stage names, I’m already the Host of the Lightsbane.” You adjust your glasses.“Agh?! You’re a light bringer?!” Luna of Darkness doesn’t mesh well with Sun people."He means he's on our side..." Sina licks her lips.“Huh, I’m not a light bringer?” You’re supposed to be immune to the light, but how can you describe it? Philonune suggests just calling yourself Neat. This won’t do. “Still, we haven’t figured out from where you saw me. I actually have a fan club in this school for some reason. Maybe you know me from that?”“What? Are you some kind of idol? Do you want to sing for us?” Lulu wonders. You feel the grip around your neck getting tighter…“Nope. Again, I’m not entirely sure why I have one.” You say.“Half the school was in there. How come you didn’t hear about it?” Sina questions.“Because we don’t follow the masses. We carve our own path, sis.” Luna of Darkness is a proud goth, or demon. Or Goth Demon. “Speaking of avoiding crowds, let’s go to the rooftop before these get colder. Best place for loners.”

Yeah, you’re being mugged by a pretty girl. It’s impossible to resist, so you play along and follow her whims — maybe some mercy will be granted. Or maybe...“Here. All yours.” You part ways with the desserts you so lovingly made.“A-haha~! I like how you know your place, my sweet servant!” Luna of Darkness happily grabs Sina’s haul, and enjoys one of the few remaining snack cakes in one swoop. “These are hardcore now...” She has decided these snacks are honorary goth. Or demon. Or demon goth.“...Weren’t they supposed to be mine?” Sina questions her buddy’s actions.“Are you forgetting what you did with my snack cake? We’re even now!” Lulu shows no remorse. “Here, I’ll feed them to you, s-so stop staring daggers at me! Open wide~…”Sina has no issues being fed. This could’ve been you two, but now it’s the silly demon with the goth girl! But this is all part of your plan…“Hehe, now it’s time you pay back, Luna.” You adjust your glasses.“Huh?! You didn’t give them for free?! I-I thought you were willingly turning into my familiar...” Lulu can’t believe this.“An occult devotee should understand that bargains always come with a price...” You say.“...It’s true. You gotta obey him until you’re even.” Sina agrees with your logic.“Tch, I knew you meant business with that sick cape, no ordinary individual has great style…” Luna of Darkness should’ve foreseen this… “W-W-What do you want from me?”“Tell me…” You get super serious. “What did you mean by us having similar auras?” You bring Sina closer to point at yourselves.“Oh? That?” Lulu expected something more demanding. “I mean it in the most literal sense. I see the emanation flow, retract, expand all around you. It tells me that you’re two hotshots who walk their own path, drive your own destinies against spectacular odds. Your auras is so powerful, I get lost in their beauty…” Luna of Darkness turns into Lulu of Cheeriness as her eyes cling on your faces… One subtle head shake and she’s back to normal. “W-Well, yours is redder for whatever reason.”“Then we’re meant to be together, it’s what the spirits show us…” Sina likes this reading…“In that case, I should spoil you for a bit…” You wiggle your eyebrows and let her use you as you take back the snack cake box! “...Say ah, ladies.”“Ah~” Sina happily takes another one down… she grabs your wrist before you can move your hand away, and licks your finger after eating the last bite… V-Very playful of her. “You’re so kind...”This is only the beginning of Sina’s pampering for the rest of lunchtime… Poor Lulu wants to be pampered too…

After feeding your local goths to save the environment, you return to classes empty handed. No sweets at your disposal. You feel defenseless. But you will survive, you always do.Classes are an afterthought, there’s no new material to be had so close to the exams — so it’s all review. You can zone out. But you can’t. A paper ball falls right on your desk.It’s a note. A message from Scarlet, she asks you why you are wearing this fabulous cape (your words. She called it funny.) You text her to ask her why she’s throwing you a paper ball instead of using her phone, and why she keeps putting flowers instead of a dot in her i. She responds that they are cute. You tell her she’s ignoring the question. She responds that you ignored hers first. You’re at an impasse. Pet-Vortexia suggests you treat your friend more nicely. You’re having an argument, you’re not supposed to be nice. This is why the real Vortexia is better. You poke Clutz’s head. A new message pops out: Bubbles wonders if that’s Odetta under the cape. You pretend to drop your phone inside your bag and go to sleep… Bubbles pouts.You get thrown *another* paper ball. You read what’s inside. Another message from the redhead. She tells you to pick up your phone, and that Rora is in the chat too. That’s exciting! You sigh and do it. You three spend the rest of the hour talking about meaningless stuff…Classes are officially over. It felt like a longer day than usual, and the exams are going to make it worse. So you’re going to enjoy a moment alone. Everyone looked a little bit busy, so you didn’t bother to approach.You decide to spend the time at the loneliest place in the school: the Swimming Pool! You still have the keys. You thought you gave them back, but whoops.As you sit down by the pool, you remember something…“Hey, Odetta.” You have someone under your cape! This line would’ve been so much more effective if Scarlet didn’t spot her earlier…“What?” Odetta is a grumpy woman.“Did you enjoy choking me all day?” You wonder.“I’d enjoy it more if it accomplished something...!” Odetta ngghs with more force as you point out her mischief.“I gotta admit I didn’t think you’d last all day.” You admire your firm cape.“You know I can do anything I put my mind to… Anything! Now, stop breathing for once!” Odetta can’t help but flaunt.“In that case, how about some swimming?” You suggest.“What.” Odetta freezes.“You need exercise!” You nod.“Y-You want me to swim now?!” Odetta can’t follow your nonsense.“Duh. We’re at the pool.” You grab Little O by the arms like she’s a movie lion cub, and show her the swimming pool. “See? Wanna give it a shot?” You start approaching the pool…“Y-You were planning to do this all day, weren’t you...?!” Odetta starts kicking the air like a desperate dog.

Yeah, there’s no way you can allow your cape to get wet, just the sad cat in it. But it continues to be a bad idea without the proper equipment. She needs a proper swimsuit!“Actually, let’s hold on.” You place Odetta’s hands back on your neck, then twirl the cape to your back. “No way you can swim in that even if you want to.”“I never said I did!!!” Odetta complains as she uses slightly more force on the choking.“That’s not a No. Let’s get you a proper swimsuit.” You believe one should be around. Maybe in the locker room?“W-What?! I’m not wearin’ that stuff!” Odetta complains.“You wanna swim in your underwear? That’s lewd, but if it works for you…” You’re gonna take it.“WAH…?! EH?! NO! I-I’m NOT doing THAT either, you damn pukehead!” Odetta gets flustered AND angry! It’s kinda cute.“Then we’re getting the swimsuit, sheesh.” You believe she overreacted a bit much.“I’m not doing anything, you dolt!!!” Odetta lashes out.“Odetta, your eyes didn’t lie yesterday. I know you’re concerned about your health. This is the best way to get you working through your issues.” You get serious. “The first dive is gonna suck, but it’ll get better over time. Trust me.”“OH MY GOD. Do whatever the hell you want, corny ass punk! Like I need to tell you!” Odetta facepalms with both hands… letting you free from the choking! Is this a sign that she approves?! She regrets opening up, but you’ll change her mind with effort and commitment.You haste, and through impossible odds you find a clean swimsuit inside the locker room! It’s clean! No need to call Rora to use her powers! Anyway, you bring it to Odetta, and she changes in said locker room, away from your dorky gaze. She pops out, all embarrassed.“What?” Odetta grits her teeth. She’s not as flat as her clothes imply, not to say she’s stacked, though, she’s pretty thin. “Isn’t this what you want?!”“No. Not at all.” You shake your head. “You gotta be in there! Let’s go!” You point at the pool. “You know how to swim? Here’s your kickboard anyway.”“Duh, do I look that useless?” Odetta walks past you and jumps into the pool! She pops out struggling. “Crap… Wait… Damn it...”You throw her the kickboard, then jump in to help her. She regains her footing. You got your school clothes wet. And yes, you emptied your pockets before the dive. Pet-Vortexia is safe.“I-I’m so fuckin’ weak, what the hell?” Odetta hates this a lot after regaining her breath.“We gotta work on your strength.” You shake your head.“S-Shouldn’t this be easier?! I’m in the damn water!” Odetta complains.“On the joints, Odetta. Now grab the kickboard tight like it’s my neck, and start paddling. I’ll be right next to you.” You take this seriously. “Let’s see how far we can get you...”

Odetta did a remarkably good job under these circumstances, you must praise her efforts before it gets in her head the belief that this isn’t going to work. Which is nonsense. Even Vera would agree!“It’s fine, you did great.” With an extra towel in hand, you pat Odetta’s wet head and reaffirm her efforts mean something. Perhaps you should request a spirit marshmallow for her to help with the process.“No need to pity me, just be a good boy and show up tomorrow.” Odetta appreciates it despite the snark. “And scrub faster. I don’t wanna feel like a wet mutt no more.”“I mean it.” You reassure as you comply with her order.“...Uh-uh. Sure you do, pal.” Odetta diverts her eyes.“You were hella cute too. I expected it, but it was still nice to see.” You wiggle your eyebrows.“W-Wha?! Cute?! W-Where is this coming from?!” Odetta’s eyes dart back at you. She’s acting like the word ‘cute’ is the most disgusting one that has ever come out of her lips.“From the evidence in front of my eyes.” You stare at her.“F-F-Fuck off, you’re insufferable…! I knew I shouldn’t have changed! Fuck giving *you* ammunition!” Odetta surrounds her head with the towel like it’s a pillow she can yell into.“It’s only a compliment. One which you totally deserve.” You don’t have ill intentions.“...I’m gonna choke you again.” Odetta can’t stand this.“If that’s how you wanna get close to me, go ahead.” You wink.“AAAgh!!! Fine, well played, you win! I’m clapping! Call me whatever the hell you want!” Odetta has shifted colors to red. “I’m gonna swap clothes! I can’t talk to you while I’m dressing like this…”The flustered ghost sprints to the locker room, fueled by her embarrassment…Like clockwork, you hear someone knocking on the door… Who could this be?“Hey, it’s me, Honey Bunny. I’ve been lookin’ for you. I have a big hunch you’re in there...” It’s Aurora! She taps the door with considerable speed despite her attempts at being discreet. “Can we, like, talk? It’s super important. But not like, ultra important if you’re busy…”“Hey, what’s up?” You unlock the door and let her in! You’re never going to turn a meeting with a fellow red flame down.“S-Sorry, I blanked out about this while we all were texting and stuff, but like, I think Mat really wants to talk to you. She didn’t ask me to tell you that, but I kinda feel like she wants to and...” Aurora explains. “...huh, why are you wet...?” The bunny turns red like her flame!“I was helping Odetta exercise in the pool.” You keep the explanation brief.“Oh, yeah, she was in the cape! By the way, I totally spilled my guts about it to Scarlet. Sorry.” Aurora chuckles. “I can’t say *no* when she pouts like that. Super adorable.”

You gotta be there for Matilda! If Rora is concerned, it must be for good reason, and not something silly. This isn’t foreshadowing.“Let’s find Mat together then!” You agree with going.“Hehe, I knew I could count on you!” Aurora celebrates.“I just need my cape.” You get closer to the locker room. “Hey, Odetta, are you ready? We gotta go help our buddy.”“Y-Yeah, I’m basically done...” Odetta pops out of the room with her regular attire, and a bag with the swimsuit. “Wait, who are we helping?”“Rora said Matilda is in need of help.” You adjust your glasses.“Hey, Oddie!” Aurora waves. Odetta waves back, much less amused. She hates her nickname.“Right, Static face. Copy that.” Odetta knows who Matilda is. “Hey, do you have a fever or something?” She notices Rora’s inclination to turn red.“Me? No way! I feel like I could bounce all day and night! Up and down!” Aurora rejects such notions.“You sound less convincing than an ad against hair loss.” Odetta blinks rapidly, but will go along.“Hmm… I think Johnny got the idea of what I meant! Right? We’re always on the same page when it comes to this stuff…” Aurora stares at you with loving eyes.“Of course.” You adjust your glasses. It’s because she’s a bunny. And bunnies like hopping around. She didn’t mean anything else. No, sir.“See?” Aurora smiles. “Thank you for being concerned though, Oddie!”“Right, right. My concern is all gone…” Odetta doesn’t know how to deal with lovely airheads. “Ugh, there’s someone I gotta warn you about, Johnny, some annoying rich gal. But, eh, she’s a moron. We can leave it for later.”“If you say so.” You are willing to listen but not to pressure for more information. “Alright! Hop on!” You need your cape!“...I rather walk.” Odetta puts the Odettaless Buffalo cape on your back, and taps your back. She took the choking comment too seriously…“Rora, lead the way, please.” You tell the requester to take you to the meeting destination.“Over here...!” Rora puts her arms around yours and Odetta’s own. She’s right in the middle, dragging you two along! “...I think!”Aurora leads you to…Where do you find Matilda at?>At one of the Johnny Fan Club bases. There are comfy beds in there!
>At the Home Economics Room. There is food inside!
>At the library. There are books for you to study in there!
>At the rooftop. There’s a nice view over there!
>At detention. There’s only one delinquent there! (Matilda!)

In a bit of a surprise, Aurora leads you to the detention room! Why would Matilda be here out of all places?! It’s for you to find out how she became a delinquent.Whoever is responsible for keeping an eye on her is not present. Best time to sneak in and learn what’s going on. Odetta flexes her barely existing muscles and opens the pathway… by simply opening the door. No lockpicking.“There you are!” Aurora’s instincts were right! This is where Matilda is at! Why is she here?“Aurora? Odetta? J-Johnny?” Matilda is deeply confused by everyone’s presence here. “What brings you here?”“We were looking for you.” You say with some relief that she’s safe.“We came to bust your ass out of here. What else?” Odetta raises an eyebrow. She’s a bit comfortable in this role. Did she get into a lot of trouble in her heyday?“I didn’t request such a thing, I don’t see why you’d do this.” Matilda is puzzled by this.“You’ve been acting weird all day! Like, super distracted and bothered!” Aurora declares.“And hello? Who wants to be in detention?” Odetta points out the obvious.“M-My behavior is completely ordinary. Predictable. Disciplined.” Matilda does not agree with the bunny’s assessment.“Then why are you here, Ms. Perfect?” Odetta frowns.“A simple miscalculation. I placed campaign signs in prohibited spots.” Matilda crosses her arms. “I will be greatly compensated for staying here, mind you.” A deal with Nariko, that’s for sure.“That’s bad and all. But, I mean, like, the point is that she’s super unwell. Look at her!” Aurora pokes the Matilda cheeks. Not those ones. Her face.“Again, nothing out of the ordinary.” Matilda parries the poking.“Is there a stupid running gag where everyone wants to deny they have a fever or something...?” Odetta points out that Matilda has turned into a tomato.“N-Nonsense. I’m in perfect physical condition.” Matilda is a stubborn health freak.“You’re red as a tomato.” You raise an eyebrow.“And so is Aurora, and I don’t see that you’re much concerned.” Matilda argues.“Oh god, I look that bad…?” Aurora pulls out a pocket mirror. Mat looks offended.“Straight out of a sauna, pinky, yeah.” Odetta has been telling her the entire time.“A-Anyway, I think Mat is the one who needs the love the most! Not me… I can always wait…” Aurora assures you that Matilda is the priority!“The hell are you talking about? Love? Just take her away. Weirdo.” Odetta is confused. “Let’s leave before someone shows up. Unless you want me to deal with the situation myself…” That’s her vintage wicked grin, this can’t be good...This situation is a little complex… Does this have to do with what happened yesterday night and the unfulfilled promises…? Details aside, you gotta go, unless...

You can’t stay here! Matilda is really red, she might have a fever. You need to take her to the infirmary as soon as possible!“You’re right. We’re taking Matilda with us.” You make the decision as the team leader. It’s a little late to realize that both you, Aurora, and Odetta are legally part of The Nameless. Are you technically the leader? Who cares about those details? Not you. “Your health is way more important than some stupid detention.”“Let’s take her to the infirmary!” Aurora decides.“A-Again, this is ill advised. And I’m prohibited from leaving.” Matilda thinks a legal recourse ties her here.“Don’t be silly. The teacher is *totally* going to understand that we took you to the infirmary with how sick you look.” You bridesmaid-carry your martial arts teacher! Besides, you have allies in higher up places (Holly), if this teacher is a boob! “By the way, who got you here?”“I-I…” Matilda is thoughtfully embarrassed to say anything.“Who cares, bonehead?! Ask her later!” Odetta pushes you forward. “We gotta get out of here!”And so, the team wisely ditches detention to find your way to the infirmary at a frenetic pace. It’s both open AND empty! What a convenient combination! You place Matilda on one of the beds…“W-Why is this happening…?” Matilda’s body has fully embraced the tomato color as these soft words slowly escape her lips.“J-Johnny, she’s, like, twice as red as before!” Aurora knows her friend is worse than ever.“I’ve noticed. We have to do a health check.” You tap your chin. “And call me Dr. Ando.”“Cool, I’ll be Nurse Rora! I’m ready to check our patient’s vitals or something, Dr. Ando.” Aurora is lending her professional expertise.“...And I’ll be outside ready to warn you if someone is coming, instead of helping with whatever the hell this is.” Odetta does NOT want to engage in this nonsense and steps aside.“I-If you believe this to be nonsense, explain to me why you played along?” Matilda wants answers!“Huh, because ditching detention is my type of morally dubious behavior?” Odetta loves being a bad influence.“And she’s worried about you. She’s a sweetheart like that.” You add.“Mhm! Oddie rules!” Nurse Rora agrees.“Good luck, patient Mat.” Odetta grins as she stays guard outside…Now all of you can focus on the sick!“Dr. Ando is ready for an examination.” You adjust your glasses. There has to be a way to lower her temperature.“I-I’ll play along and end this idiocy. What do you want me to do?” Matilda wants to stop this nonsense in one fell swoop.“We, like, need to cool her off, right?” Aurora wonders, then gets closer to whisper. “Or maybe you need to make her realize what she really wants?” She doesn’t want Matilda to be embarrassed by a normal thing!

You’re going to prove to Matilda that she is in dire need of assistance. It’s not going to be pretty, but it needs to be done.“Before all that, we need proper outfits.” You adjust your glasses.“No. You don’t.” Matilda isn’t keen on the idea.“I was thinking exactly that!” Rora disagrees with her cooking sister and pulls out a lab coat and a cute pink nurse outfit out of thin air! “I found them in the wardrobe over there. Well, I lied. I took this one from Matilda’s bag, but there was one inside there. I just thought the accents in this one were more cute.” Rora shakes the nurse outfit. Of course, Matilda still has her absurdly big bag from yesterday.“...No comments.” Matilda refrains from further encouraging the bunny.“Don’t turn around just yet, Dr. Ando! Gotta swap real quick!” Aurora begins changing clothes as you put your coat on.“I-Idiot.” Matilda closes the curtains to prevent you from looking at the blonde’s figure. You were right outside the perimeter of the bed’s curtain like an amateur. You do see the silhouette (which you appreciate).“Nurse Rora is ready to save lives!” Aurora opens the curtain to show off her cute outfit!“Looking cute!” You smile.“And you look handsome!” Aurora smiles back.“C-Can we proceed?” Matilda is unamused.“Okay, Mat, you have one chance to show us that you’re healthy. And that chance begins now.” You cross your arms.“I-It falls on me?” Matilda is surprised by this face.“...” You grab a clipboard and write the word sick under your Matilda doodle. She knows she’s being judged. The patient doesn’t like being fairly assessed.“Dr. Ando knows you’ve been super distracted and bothered.” Aurora repeats her earlier assessment. “Just, like, show him that you aren’t! Like, don’t look at his face, get lost in his eyes, and start thinking about unprofessional stuff you shouldn’t be thinking about…” Rora is falling victim to her own criteria…“…” Matilda shakes her head. She was in a little bit of a trance. “This is not scientifically sound. Check my temperature. I have no fever.”“Let me see…” You put your hand over Matilda’s forehead. It’s too hot! “You’re burning.”“I-It’s completely unrelated to my physical condition.” Matilda is taken aback by your immediate reaction.“After carefully observing you, I believe what you’re experiencing is due to what happened yesterday night. We don’t have to make excuses about this.” You get serious. “I believe the best way to affront this is with a kiss.”

You’re going to indulge Matilda, but set the record straight too. She can’t pretend she doesn’t want this either.“You’re off.” You gently place your fingers on the sick woman’s chin… “We both want this, right?”“I’m not under the illusion this isn’t going to happen…” Matilda is eagerly waiting for what’s to come.“Answer me.” Your eyes pierce through hers, you won’t continue until the truth comes out…“...I do.” Matilda lunges forward for her medicine, and you meet her in the middle.You get dragged backwards onto the bed to passionately make out with this impatient lover. She clung onto your shirt to forbid you from not engaging. No more taunting. No more talking. No more expectations but the love you want to give to each other…It’s intense. Matilda worked herself into a love frenzy. She waited too long for this moment. Her senses are acting erratic. She wanted you badly. And by taking it up a notch, she's overwhelmed. You stop kissing for a moment, and take heavy breaths… The medicine worked…“…” Matilda pants loudly. She looks like she could use a break, even if she doesn’t want to...“I think that worked…” You loved it!“W-Woah, that was something else…” Aurora is surprised by the intensity you two displayed for one another. A good nurse doesn’t take her eyes off the patient.“She’s never been this intense…” You adjust your glasses… for good reason for once.“Aurora…” Matilda’s head clears. Her breathing is more composed. “You too feel like this, don’t you…?”“M-Me? Like, super sick? N-Nah…” Aurora plays it cool.“Johnny…” Matilda is considering that Aurora needs this more than she does at the moment.But it’s all up to you, you’re the medicine.What do you do?>Make love to Aurora first!
>Make love to Matilda first!
>Kiss Aurora now, and think over what to do next.
>Write In.

It’s obvious to everyone in this room that Rora is the one in more need of relief… And love. It’s more about love, don’t kid yourself. If Matilda is receptive about this, you only need to go ahead.“Are you sure?” You always get in-sync with the people you love, but this is...“Aurora was the one who pressured you to... come to my aid, right? I feel properly in debt, I suppose.” Matilda feels embarrassed by her own wording. “Not to say we’re done. I know how long you can last, and I’m counting on it.” Matilda threatens you with a good time. You happily nod. This embarrasses Matilda further. Despite how reassured she’s acting, she can’t believe this is happening the way it is...“Woah, woah, woah, w-what’s happening…?” Aurora is utterly confused.“You’re the only one left without proper medication.” You try to not sound that silly.“W-W-We kissin’ too?! After you two kissed?!” Your lovely nurse makes it sound silly. “B-But what about Mat…?”“I need some air. You’ve been waiting to fool around with him for a long time, haven’t you?” Matilda is pretty straightforward. “Go take your shot.”“I-I wouldn’t say it like that. I really like him…” Aurora gets all shy. “O-Okay, I love him! With all my heart. And he loves me too!”“How sentimental. He may be grabbing you by the heart strings, but—” Matilda tries to argue, but…“Oh no, I’m sure. I can literally listen to his thoughts!” Aurora interrupts Matilda’s rebuttal. “He loves you with all his heart too. From top to bottom. He can’t think about anything else. It feels super sincere. Hehe!”“W-Wait, you can do that…?” This is embarrassing! You wonder if this is a side-effect of the red flames...“Ever since you two started kissing, yeah. It was like a rush of emotions.” Rora nods. “You can hear my thoughts too, can’t ya? It can go both ways.”“H-How can he love more than one person like that? T-That’s ridiculous.” Matilda is flabbergasted.“Why not? I love you like that too! I’m sure as hell there’s no limit.” Rora smiles.“...I’m not prepared to have this conversation. I’ll come back in a minute.” Matilda wasn’t ready for this twist. She places Rora on the bed, closes the curtain, and leaves you two be.It’s just you, your nurse, and the bed…“Rora, is it okay if I kiss you?” You always have to ask for consent! That’s what a gentleman does or something.“Johnny, is it okay if we go beyond? I don’t think I, like, will be able to stop...” Aurora admits.“Can you hear my thoughts?” You wiggle your eyebrows. Yours are pretty simple.“Can you hear mine?” Aurora asks back as she bounces on the bed. They’re the exact same one. A resounding yes…You both grin, say you love each other, then begin a passionate kiss that heats up as it goes…

You notice a pesky blue flame here… To not ruin the mood, you’ll keep quiet, but you’re going to have a stern talk with this pervert. Anyway, Aurora breaks out of her trance, springing out of the bed fully clothed with one mission in mind.“Oooookay~, can’t stay put forever! It’s Mat’s turn! I’m bringin’ her over here now!” Aurora has a newfound determination to spread the love. You never had someone do this before, or, at the very least, as directly as this… “Do what you gotta do, Johnny!”The bunny bolts out of the room before you can even say a word. You thought about testing your red flame communication system, but there’s no time, you gotta look presentable and tidy up the office.Eventually, Matilda arrives back at the infirmary, and she’s looking for medical assistance…“You’re quite the fawner, aren’t you?” Matilda blushes harder than you’ve seen her. “What Aurora said before, is it true? About your feelings towards me...”“Yeah, exactly as she said. I lo—”“Don’t say it.” Matilda interrupts you by placing her fingers on your lips. She’s breathing heavily. She doesn’t know what she’s doing or what she wants out of you. But she’s going to get the answers that she wants. “Show me. Let me test your resolve.”You and Matilda begin kissing more tenderly than ever before...Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F3Gewha_e00Q3JGSNyPZEi5P2CzSLULqAkLDAmA9lFw/edit?usp=sharingSpoilers: You had sex with Mat, congratulations!(The rest of the post will be delivered soon!)

You can’t get ahead of yourself! Your lovely nurse has to check on the patient before deciding if to move on or not. Yes, you’re the doctor, but you trust your staff’s judgment more than your own. Does that make you a hack…?“Want Rora to check on you before we move on? If you catch my drift?” You wonder. “A nurse’s word is as good as mine.”“You’re back to role-playing?” Matilda is half-amused.“I’m a professional.” You adjust your glasses.“Doctors don’t sleep with their patients.” Matilda retorts.“Well, not most of them…” You know one pretending to be a nurse who does… With you. It’s Kata.“Fine, bring her over. Let’s end this charade properly.” Matilda sees it as a good way to regroup.Shortly after, Aurora sneaks inside the infirmary! You didn’t call her over, she showed up on her own. A routine check up, it seems. You tell Nurse Rora to check on the patient.“Hmmm, I think she still has a fever, Doctor.” Aurora sighs. She checked Matilda’s heartbeats with the doctor hearing thingy. You should know the name of the stethoscope, that’s what Knowledge is good for. Does loving dull your senses?“H-How does that make any sense?” Matilda feels embarrassed. Aurora put the doctor hearing thingy over her chest to listen to her heartbeat.“That’s too bad, she’s gonna need more medicine.” You adjust your glasses.“That’s so right!” Nurse Aurora agrees. “Lemme help this time! I know exactly where to put the jab…” The bunny starts getting playful. “But first, lemme refresh the battlefield…”In a finger snap, Aurora uses her powers to clean up the room. The bed looks impeccable. Why… Why didn’t she do it before? You had to clean this up yourself. Gosh darn it.“You heard the nurse.” Matilda wants more. Hey, you’re not the one applying the jab!“Wait, I thought Aurora was going to—”But before you can rightfully complain, Matilda lands her kiss, and Aurora quickly joins…https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SOc2mTHLZJkjOB5XmnP0RNX53OCYbqsN6yzI_czcexc/edit?usp=sharingCongratulations!
