Dice Mechanic:

I use the average (the mean) of the 3 best rolls and success will be determined by the difficulty I specify for the action or prompt. If there are less than 3 rolls I’ll do the math with the ones I have.
Above 45 is a success in a normal roll. Above 55 is a success in a hard roll. The hardest rolls I won’t specify because I find it more fun if I don’t.
From now we will roll after the voting is done.

“Rawwww…!” Amelia yawns like a little puppy. She’s barely keeping her eyes open. It would be adorable, if you weren't her brother and used to this over the years.
“You’re tired, go to sleep. It’s not like we can do anything else.” You shrug and suggest to Amelia; she agrees by nodding wearily, and stumbles her way to her bed.
“I want to sleep too. Wake me when more food is ready!” The enthusiastic Nariko trails behind, as you and Nina waving them off - you have no idea why she wants to sleep since she looks so energetic; but hey, half of her brain is missing or something like that…

Now the two of you are alone, you see Uccelli’s eyes drawing back over to you. You raise your eyebrow.

“Uhm…” You make a sound hoping to break the ice. “Do you think you’re ready to talk now?”
“Yes, I think I’m ready, Johnny.” Her saying your name and nor Mr. Ando throws you off for a millisecond, but you quickly nod back.
“Want to talk on the couch? These cheap seats aren’t comfortable.”
“If you want…”

The two of you move to the couch and sit next to each other, the whole thing smells like her… And she, too, smells like herself! As you’re about to say something, Nina musters the courage to finally speak up.

“I've thought about this the whole night, but I have to say it. Johnny… I’m scared. I have been for a while now… Even before the flames.” You see her face deepening in anguish, but go no further as determination started to etch on her face. "Between the threat of losing my job and my apartment, all I could think about was how much I miss my family and wanted to go home." The seriousness of her words cause you to place a hand on her shoulder as you nod for her to continue. You’re seriously hoping not to fuck this up.

"But I can't, and I won't. I cannot let you and Amelia down. You have given me hope and have been inexplicably so good to me, looking at me so sincerely and just wishing for me to be happy. Even when all I've wanted to do was run away." Her face is on the verge of tears, but her look of determination doesn't falter.
"You give me strength, Johnny Ando. The strength to do things I never thought myself capable of, and you have been there with me every step of the way since all this happened... I'll try and smile, for you and everything you're doing, even when all I want inside is to run away... If I'm with you, I'll try my best to keep smiling." She wipes her premature tears and smiles genuinely like you've only seen her do a few times before. Two smiles in the span of the last 24 hours, this must be a record!

You’re in a type of situation you have never been in before, hopefully you won’t ruin it…

Without much thought put into it, you decided to hug Uccelli as tightly as possible! And without any hesitation either, she hugs you back, what a beautiful display of care and respect! She’s so close you have your face all buried in her fluffy hair! She’s so soft…

“You’re giving me way too much credit, you know? You have your own strength.” You humbly tell your teacher.
“Credit where credit is due, Johnny… If I didn’t feel like that, I wouldn’t say it. You know that, right?” Both of you stop hugging each other and look directly to each other eyes, she’s caressing you on the cheek she once slapped as some tears are falling down her face. You nod to her. Nina notices she’s crying. “Why am I crying…?” She tries to wipe them with her sleeve.
“I suppose because you’re happy.”
“…I need to wash my face. Give me a minute.” She slaps you gently on the face as she stands up, and quickly leaves towards the bathroom. You’re alone now comprehending what just happened, an emotional situation for sure… You think you handled it pretty well.

We're route locking?
fuck, if i knew that i would have voted sooner.

>>2082025
This has route lock written all over it. Which I'm fine with because we still haven't got to the first crown piece and to major MAJOR plot. This way we cement our devotion and kill off waifufagging for the rest of the quest. Getting this out of the way is crucial right now.

>>2082025
Literally who said anything about routelocking? We aren't allowed to kiss someone without getting married? Jesus guys

>>2082034
I'm fine with getting rejected either way, but i think it's important for Ando to up his courage and use all his 3 lvl into actually engaging into a romantic deed toward someone he loves.
Also i'm pretty sure we could kiss amelia somehow and avoid routelock, in fact it's on my bucketlist now.

>>2082040
Yeah no bullshit. Once we do this we'll have basically locked into Ucelli.

“Johnny, are you okay?” Philonune asks as he sees you sweat like a motherfucker for no reason.
Johnny keeps looking at the blank TV screen in front of him… Demon Johnny and Angel Johnny appear on his shoulder.

“Kiss her.” Demon Johnny says. “She’s asking for… Wait a fucking minute, why am I the devil? What’s wrong with kissing her?”
“Maybe because it’s wrong?” Angel Johnny replies.
“It’s not wrong, you worthless coot.” Demon Johnny gets angry.
“Yeah, it’s not really wrong, we’re part of his imagination anyway. Just don’t do it because it will be a routelock. Or something?” Angel Johnny agrees…?
“What? Why would it be one?” Demon Johnny is confused.
“I don’t know, everyone is assuming it is, so I’m doing it too.” Angel Johnny shrugs.
“I mean, nobody knows if she’s going to accept your kiss anyway.” Demon Johnny shrugs too.
“Yeah… I think everyone is overthinking it honestly.” Angel Johnny says.
“Anyway, She’s hot… Just kiss her god damn it, it isn’t a routelock anyway.”
“No, it’s weird! Don’t do it! And how are you so sure now?”

“Guys, can’t you two stop breaking the fourth wall and get the hell out of here?” Real Johnny says.
“Okay.” Both of them poof out of existence.

people who seriously wafui over fake characters only for the lewds are pretty bad. Howether i fully respect thoses doing so for the emotional aspect to kick in.

You have made your decision. It felt like an eternity, but the moment is now… Let’s not screw this up...
You wait silently for what it feels like hours, the words from your father are coming back to you in this moment of tension:
“Dad, how do you kiss a girl…?” Johnny from almost 2 years ago asks his father innocently.
“Hahahahaha!” Your father laughs as you look down in shame. “Oh wait, you're serious… let me laugh even harder. AHAHAHAHAHAHA! ”

Your flashback stops here. That wasn’t helpful at all! In fact, it made the situation worse! No! You will not falter…
Nina Uccelli comes out of the bathroom and wipes some drops of water off her chin. You stare at her intensely, she hasn’t noticed…

“Not even cold water is helping me wake up; maybe I need another cup of coffee…” She mumbles as she walks towards you. When she’s about to sit, she finally pays attention to the way you’re behaving. “W-what’s wrong?” The moment the words fall from her mouth, you hold her hand without expressing a word. Is this your Level 3 Courage, or a panic response…?
You don’t know or care. Nina blushes for a second and sits beside you, but regains her composure once she remembers how you're acting.

one you’re holding. “I know how troublesome life can b—” You don’t let her finish, you quickly put your free hand over her cheek and steal a kiss from her…! Her lips are so soft!
You have no idea what you’re doing, but she’s the adult, she knows what to do right…!? And maybe she does know, because Nina actually kisses you back! She’s taking control of the situation! Your mind feels numb, but your body feels the raw romantic emotion of a loving kiss for the first time! Take that, dad! Seconds feel like minutes stretching into hours as both of you hold the kiss. Without thinking you put your other hand on Nina's waist, but don't pull her in any closer.

This bold courageous move has earned you both Courage and Handsomeness! You have leveled up to lvl 3 in the latter! Some girls will start paying attention to you, and why wouldn’t they? You’re looking good now!

Not everything can last forever though. Nina stops and moves away from you, turning her head to the side while her face is bright red. You feel your face and ears getting hot too.
“T-this is wrong…! Forget about it! We can’t do this... This is all a big mistake!” Uccelli can’t even look at you. In her mind she was careless, and let her instincts take lead.

Even after that, this is still a delicate situation.

What do you say?

>“My feelings are genuine, Nina. You know that by now." Reassure her and look serious.
>“Yeah, you’re right. I let myself get carried away in the moment, but at least I know you don’t find me hideous.” Accept what happened like you always do.
>“Sorry about that. If you don't want to go any further, then that's fine with me." Apologize but also give her a small smile.

“My feelings are genuine, Nina. You know that by now.” You reassure her while looking serious, putting your Level 3 Handsomeness into play. Nina blushes once again!
“…I really do need some time to think.” She evades your gaze; she’s not going to fall for your tricks, or knows a way to handle them.
“It’s not like you can’t go elsewhere. There is nothing wrong with what we are doing.” Martial law and all.

“Why did you have to be my student…?” She seems genuinely troubled for you to try to kiss her again, you care about her feelings too much to screw this one up. “I need some time alone, I’m… confused. Is there any room I can be alone in the meantime…?”
“My room, you can lock it if you want.”
“…Thanks, Johnny. I’m so sorry for doing this… I just—”
“Nina, relax. Go to my room and think things over as long as you want. I know you didn’t have enough sleep, and this is too much for you to handle.”
“…You’re really making a case for—”
“Nina, just go, you don’t need to keep talking. You’ll know what to say later.”
“…You’re right.” A defeated, confused, embarrassed, and somewhat happy Nina Uccelli leaves to your room. She closes and locks the door… Guess tutoring is now out of the question, but maybe you will end up with something much better.

You spend a few minutes on the couch just reminiscing everything that just happened; it fills your heart and soul to know that she really wants you too. Now, you have to make lunch…

>Prepare lunch and just tell everyone to eat together! Just act like nothing happened.

Time to make lunch! Why are you responsible for feeding everyone every time...? Well, who cares, you liked them anyway. Making lunch is getting easier… and more expensive. The way you’re going you aren’t going to have enough food for the rest of the month, though you did win some money before, so you’re overthinking it. For now.

When lunch is ready, you go to Amelia’s room to tell the girls! When you do so, you ask Nariko if she can deliver a portion to Uccelli.

“…But please, don’t eat it on the way, or no food for the rest of the day, you hear me?” You clarify to Nariko. The inner machinations of her mind are an enigma, even to her.
“O-O-Okay!” Nariko reacts like her livelihood is in danger. Kind of amusing.

As you serve the food, you handed Nariko the tray. Amelia raises an eyebrow and wonders why Uccelli isn’t here. She also wonders why you look different... But she's more worried about your teacher than you.

“She’s not feeling well. Yesterday she spent almost the whole night awake.” Technically it’s still true.
“Uhm… But we had breakfast together and she seemed fine.”
“It wasn’t going to stop her from going to school, thank god they canceled it.”
“I feel bad for her…”
“I thought you hated her.” You remember when Amelia went nuclear.
“N-no… I don’t! I told you before it was Saraswati’s idea.”

Nariko came back shortly afterward. She seemed like she behaved correctly, though there is no way to know for sure unless you ask Nina. Anyway, you ate together without anything else happening, everyone enjoyed it too. Food feeds the soul too, it seems. You spent almost the whole day with these two, and in the meantime you two basically tried to teach Nariko how to behave normally once again. Slowly she’s picking up the signals, in the future she will start behaving like an average girl again.

Hours pass and the electricity returns. You turn on the TV to the news and start charging your phone; on the news channel is a report telling everyone the terrorist menace is over and the martial law is lifted in an hour. Amelia then says she needs to go back to her house, she’s probably not staying here anymore until further notice if her dad has anything to say about it. She asks you if you want her to deal with Nariko from now on. You’re not convinced this won’t mean trouble for Amelia, her dad is very protective.

You tell Amelia that Nariko is not her responsibility in any way but yours. She will stay here. Amelia nods rapidly like she always does and tells you she can always come over to take care of her if necessary. Nariko seems happy with your resolution, she even expressed her thanks… She almost got to tears before you and Amelia calmed her down. She also hugged Amelia and thanked her too, your poor sister was overwhelmed by Nariko but glad she thanked her.

After Amelia packed her stuff, it was time for her to leave; she skips her way out and tells you she will call later.

“Bye Johnny! Bye Nariko! We will see each other soon!” Amelia cheerfully parts ways with you two! Amelia did find a friend in Nariko, you cannot help but think this is a somewhat weird relationship. At least her hobo hating tendencies are past us…

“Now, what do I do with you?” You stare at Nariko as you hold your chin in deep thought.
“I will watch TV. Amelia said it was good when you don’t have anything to do…” That’s too close to her cloud watching hobby… Anyway, you leave her watching the news. She acts like an obedient dog of sorts, hopefully this behavior sticks.

…

Uccelli is still locked inside your room, has she even noticed the power is back? Do you think she’s ready to talk? Or should you just wait? The sun will start to set soon, but hey, there is no curfew anymore to worry about...

What do you do?

>Tell Uccelli she can go back home if she wants, you don’t need to rush the important conversation unless she wants to talk right now.
>Teach Nariko how to behave like a human, you may even find her a job… Or just help her self-improve.

Well exams aren’t going to do themselves! Time to study, you’re confident enough to know you’re not going to fail them, but you’re reaching for the stars now, baby! Good thing you left all the books here before you-know-who locked herself in your room. You tell Nariko to try to be quiet while you do your best to get some knowledge flowing in your brain.

You gained 2 points of Knowledge! You think you’re getting closer to leveling up. But it doesn’t matter now, you feel like exams are not going to be a big deal at all. You got this.

Oh, you didn’t even notice but it’s already night, uhm… It’s almost 9 pm and you completely forgot about Uccelli. You knock on the door of your room.

“I forgot to tell you, but you can go home if you want, power is back and all. You can stay if you want dinner.”
“T-thanks…” You barely could hear her, like her face was buried underneath your pillow. “I’ll be going… So no dinner for me!”
“Okay…”

Before you could do anything she opens the door, and you two are suddenly face to face. She blushes and powerwalks so fast she leaves the apartment in less than a minute. Kinda awkward. But hey, you’re not the one who isn't dealing with this correctly this time…
But before she leaves the apartment you hear her say “Take care, Johnny…”

…

You made dinner for you and Nariko, and this time you didn’t have to spend so many ingredients for four. Nariko notices you’re worried, but really can’t do anything to help… She enjoyed the food like everything else you make. Shortly after that, you go to bed, you need to be at your 100% for the exams! Nariko is sleeping on your dad’s bed tonight.

“Maybe tomorrow we could find the information we need.” Philonune says as you silently stare at your ceiling, confused by everything that happened today. "But you did well today, Johnny! Don't ever feel guilty about what you did. I don't know too much about you humans, but even I could sense she felt the same way inside as you did." Philo tells you in an inspiring voice that reminds you of how you yourself supported Amelia before. Only more manlier. It makes you smile as you nod off to sleep.

It’s a terrible Tuesday morning, but at least it's not Monday! Today you finally have your first round of exams! Sadly they are going to last the rest of the week… Now before you leave to face your challenge, you may need to tell Nariko what is going on… She looks so serene while sleeping, is this a signal of her slow mental recovery or just a coincidence…?

Anyway, what do you do?

>Wake up Nariko and explain everything to her! You need to make her lunch and teach her how to use the microwave.
>Maybe you could ask Craig to take care of her in the meantime…? Though he might have his hands full with the tenants from last time.
>Leave her a note on the lunch you’re going to make her! You don’t want to wake her up clueless, do you?
>Write In.

Maybe not as in "He needs to spend most of today with her", but just check in with Nariko to see how she's doing.

Also, should we think about bringing her to school as a student? It might jog her memories a little bit.

You decided it’s best to wake Nariko up to explain everything. You told her about you going to school and how you two are going to handle her lunch, it seems you’re going to prepare her breakfast too right now. Doesn’t bother you or her in the least. You instruct her in the proper utilization of the strange artifact some call a ‘Microwave’. Poor Nariko is trying her best to understand… She says she won’t disappoint you, but you only hope your house remains intact when you get home. Before leaving, you tell her to be a good girl and more food will come! She seems determined not to fail! Well, you will have to trust her…

The tense atmosphere at school is damning to everyone who came in here with any shred of hope, like usual the grim feeling of despair in the air this week. You hope the air of depression and mediocrity doesn’t affect you or your exams. You briefly catch up with Scarlet and Terry, both of them look fine, hopefully it will reflect in their future grades. Scarlet was acting a bit weirder than usual, the exams must be affecting her on another level. Oh well…

The first wave of exams today were easy! Well it was mostly the subjects you studied with Uccelli so it was a piece of cake. Sadly you didn’t spot Nina at all today, maybe that’s for the better. Well, your time here is done…

What do you do?

>Go back home to study and check if Nariko didn’t burn down your apartment.
>Check on your fellow classmates and friends. Maybe it will boost your ego or gain you more info.
>Just wander around the school and keep your ears open and eyes peeled. Who knows what people will do or say in shitty times like this?
>Write In.

This is kindda wrong we need to clear things up with her later

You decided to check on your fellow classmates and friends! Maybe it will boost your ego or gain you more information… You go where Terry is laying defeated…

“So how did you do?” You ask your buddy. He's laying forward on his desk, eyes worn and with bags under them.
“Hopefully it’s enough. You?”
“It wasn’t as a big deal as I originally thought.”
“Maybe if I followed Matilda’s advice I would have been in the same position as you are…”
“Why is that? She has a secret strat?”
“Yeah, something like that. She somehow knew the type of questions that they are going to be in the exams and told me what to study specifically…”
“That sounds like she stole them…”
“I thought the same, but I’m not a cheater so I had to refuse…” Terry shows you his hands, like he's not hiding anything.

A gloomy Scarlet appears from behind you two…

“It wasn’t enough Johnny… I’m sorry.” She speaks from the heart. Her defeated heart.
“…Don’t apologize to me; I’m happy if you tried your best.”
“Johnny…!” Scarlet is in the verge of tears… of happiness! You hope she doesn't hug you out of nowhere.
“If we’re being factual here, she really just tried the day we studied together.” Terry shrugs.
“I know you didn’t do any better, you act like you’re smart but you never had the grades to back them up.”
“Okay, sorry…"
“Don’t sweat it yet, guys. It’s not over.” You try to cheer them up.
“Yeah…” Terry and Scarlet say together, as both feel defeated already.
“Since the battle ain’t done yet, I’ll go back home early to keep the fight going.” Terry stands up and packs up his stuff.
“I should study too…” Scarlet goes for her bag too. You have a feeling that’s not going to happen.

Before the three of you leave the school, you meet up with Matilda and had a brief conversation. She seems to have noticed your change in appearance, but doesn't comment on it.

“How did it all go? Your exams, I mean.”
“Everything went according to my plan.” Matilda grins. She sounds like her plan was cheating.
“It would look suspicious if you had everything perfect, you know…” She totally cheated.
“What do you mean?” Matilda looks genuinely confused.
“Nothing.” Or maybe she didn’t…?

“I just wanted to come here and ask you if you could give me this week free, I can’t go on with Nariko’s case in the meantime. I would understand... if you... want your money back…” She wants to refund you if you don’t accept the delay. She’s basically shaking and gritting her teeth as she takes out the money for the refund: those sweet, sweet 50 Gor$.

“It’s okay, it’s exams week, take it easy for now.” You shrug in acceptance; Nariko is getting better, so maybe taking it easy would be the best for everyone, including Matilda.
“Ando…!” She seems delighted as she quickly shoves the money back into her pocket.
“Hey, you two, we can chat while we're walking. Let’s get going.” Terry interrupts from over where he is.
“Are we doing another group study session, then…?” Scarlet gets in the middle of everyone, eyes full of hope.
“Sorry, I’m busy.” Matilda frowns and shushes Scarlet away.
“Scarlet, you need to learn to work alone.” Terry reprimands Scarlet deadpan.
“Aaah…! Okay! I don’t know why I even bothered waiting for everyone…” Scarlet now looks a little bit depressed, but not as much as before.

“Ando, come here.” Matilda whispers to you while Scarlet and Terry talk about something.
“What is it…?”
“Someone is following you… Be careful.” Matilda sounds serious.
“Who?”
“I don’t know…” Matilda turns back but keeps looking around without drawing notice. You try to do so as well, but everything seems to be normal all around you. Plus Philonune hasn't warned you at all, so maybe it's something different...?

Eventually you all split up at the station and went your own separate ways! You’re back to your apartment, and as soon as you open the door you see Nariko waiting on the couch for you to come back.

“Johnny! How do I turn on the TV?” …Did she really not do a single thing the whole day except sit on the fucking couch?
“I’m sorry I left you without any entertainment…”
“I don’t mind…” Nariko replies as she always does. Her attention is still on the blank TV screen.

You’re back home with a monumental list of things to do, some with more priority than the others! What do you do now?

>Train Nariko! She needs to survive in the apartment on her own!
>Study! You need to keep the streak going!
>The Archive is still in your phone… Time to solve this mystery!
>Twist’s chips are still at your disposal, maybe it’s time to crack this code!
>Maybe you should delegate some of these tasks to Amelia or Osgood…
>Write In.

Ohh so you guys are finally taking the war seriously huh? If we find a location to raid we'd need to also discus who we can bring deeper into this war since Osgood and Ucelli likely didn't think singing up for an alliance meant being proactive in the war

You turn on the TV for Nariko.

“Here you go.” You hand her the controller too. She doesn’t seem to understand what she can do with it. “Press these buttons and you can change the channel.”
“T-t-thanks, Johnny! Lunch was delicious, but tasted weird…” Nariko holds her head once again.
“Microwaving it is never going to be as good as fresh food out of the oven.”
“Oh…” She’s struggling, but you think she understood the concept.

Now it’s time to crack this code! Let’s see what’s inside Twist’s chips - you’re no master hacker, but with the power of INTERNET TUTORIALS you can get this done!

Everything was confusing at first, but you think you have the hang of it now, the job here is taking out the information so it’s not big deal. Okay, let’s find out the dark secrets of 7w157!

...Aside from bad techno/dubstep music, terrible selfies, and shitty-drawn anime porn, you found a series of videos were Twist showed ‘someone’ how his powers worked! The intended recipient was probably Howie Dewitt, that weird kid that pretended to be your fan… Or was he really your fan? You don’t know or care at this point. You keep on going in this stream of information, and found 2 important things here:

1) Twist was trying to join the cult, it was all a farce to infiltrate it, trying to play the hero. You have the contact information of the guy he was talking with. Maybe you could contact him or seek him out yourself covertly...
2) Twist and Howie were part of an anonymous group chat on the internet. Whatever they were talking about you don’t know for certain, but you definitely know it was flame related. You could check it out if you have the time.

Going through all this information took you hours, so many it’s already nighttime! You served Nariko dinner, reminded her you’re going out again tomorrow, and shortly after went to sleep…

It’s a Wednesday morning! Exams are a chore, but they are going to continue whether you like it or not. You woke up Nariko and ate breakfast together. She was the one who asked you to wake her up, because she wants to have every opportunity at her disposal to eat the food you've just made. And with that, you left for school… On your way there you received one miserable text message from Amelia! She’s cheering you on for your exams, and says she’s going to pay a visit today so she can hang out with Nariko! She wants you to study in peace, how nice of her.

Another day of carnage, another day of pain; exams once again are in front of your face! Let’s see if this is going to pay off...!

You successfully survived this row of tests! It was harder than yesterday, but you have the feeling you did well! Same situation as yesterday now, with mixed responses all around you and student in various states of joy and suffering...

What do you do?

>Leave. You need to study! You struggled today, because of your lack of effort yesterday!

You send the information you gathered to the rest of the team, then you set up a Team Meeting later to discuss infiltrating the cult! Man you typed that so fast, you surprised yourself! It seems every member is available Saturday and the reunion will be at your apartment; guess Osgood will sacrifice Poker Night for this… Or maybe he’s planning to ditch you all before it. Uccelli just wrote short responses… Everything is settled! Now let’s help your friends in their dire situation. You get closer to Scarlet’s grave… Err desk.

“…Are you alive?” You poke her head with one finger; she rises from the dead and stares at you with tears falling down her face.
“I-I don’t want to go to Summer School… sniff…” Scarlet is a mess.
“Too late for crocodile tears, Scarlet.” Terry appears next to you.
“B-but I don’t want to…” Scarlet is doing a terrible job of keeping herself together, it reminds you of when you had to calm her down the day of the incident.
“C’mon Scarlet, it’s not so bad, that’s where we met!” A random girl appears and tells Scarlet.
“S-shut up, Nia! I wasn’t a bad student before! I can’t keep going like this!”
“C’mon, its been years since you've done well on exams. Relaaax, we’ll make it fun.” The girl teases.
“Ehm… If you want we could do a study session now.”
“Johnny…!” Scarlet’s eyes brighten!
“I’d be down for that, I’m not doing so great either…” Terry nods his approval.
“You on?” You ask Nia.
“I'd rather not… I don’t want to waste my time, I know I’m dumb unless certain someone. I’ll see you later in the summer, Scaaaarlet.” Nia shrugs and then mocks Scarlet. Nia leaves with a grin on her face.

“Let’s not waste any time! I have my books ready.” Scarlet scrapes everything on her desk into her book bag.
“So you didn't have anything ready?” You jab at Scarlet.
“…I have to take it, I have to take it, I have to take it.” She rubbing her temple while chanting, like she's going into a trance of something to her happy place.
“It was a joke, c’mon, let’s go to the library.” You say. Scarlet is worrying you...
“Let’s not waste any time! I have my books ready.” Scarlet takes everything on the desk and puts it inside her bag.
“So you don’t have anything ready?” You couldn’t resist.
“…I have to take it, I have to take it, I have to take it.” She’s like… praying or something.
“It was a joke, c’mon, let’s go to the library.”

You take your small troop to the library, and with your best efforts you try to help to help them through studying! Knowledge level 3 for everyone! Hopefully you can do miracles here, they need it! You gain 2 points of Knowledge helping your friends! You feel the next level getting closer…

“Well, we did what we could.” Terry says as you three get kicked out of the school’s library, they are closing the place.
“Don’t talk! I’ll forget what I’m memorizing!” Scarlet is murmuring a lot of the content from tomorrow’s test.
"If you don’t understand it, memorizing won’t help you, id rather see you in a bikini than summer school.” You raise an eyebrow at her... and she blushes at your words.
"Y-you're right! The world cannot be deprived from this beauty!" She almost visibly deflates with her next words.
"I used to be good…! What happened?” Scarlet seems frustrated as the three of you walk towards the station.
“You do really want me to answer?” These two are really amping up their banter, you wonder if something happened to them recently.
“Bah! Like you could get better grades than me!” Scarlet laughs sarcastically.
“Do you want to bet?” Terry is raising the stakes here.
“Don’t test your luck, flat ass.” Scarlet replies.
“I’ll do what I want, fat ass.” Terry retorts.

There is tension in the air… Maybe you should say something.

>“I think Fat ass will win.” Side with Scarlet!
>“I think Flat ass will win.” Side with Terry!
>“Guys, stop. You’re embarrassing yourselves.” Try to calm them down.

You leave the school and head towards the station, it’s already night, but the sunset earlier today so, it isn’t as late as you thought it should be…

“Guys, a bet is only official when something’s at stake…” You adjust your glasses. You decided to fuel their rage; maybe this will enourage them to pass what’s left of the exams.
“I like this idea... let’s do this! Mr. Denton, are you willing to put your money where your mouth is…?!” A smug Scarlet pushes Terry with her fingers.
“Stakes are fine.But you, Ms. Argyros, are not winning.” Terry says in the same calm tone he always talks with. Wait… These two have surnames…?! “But what are you willing to bet?” Terry is intrigued.
“You know what I love Terry, I want tons of ice cream!” …What a letdown.
“…Scarlet, I already pay for your addiction.” Terry is not amused.
“W-what?! What else you have in mind…!?” Scarlet is taken aback.
“Well, there is something I always wanted you to do…” Terry’s eyes are starting to shine.
“N-no… You wouldn’t dare…” Scarlet hides behind you. You’re intrigued.
“What’s going on…?” You just gotta know!
“....Terry …Terry …This pervert wants to draw me naked…!” Scarlet is all red… More than usual. You raise your eyebrow in response.

“Hey, it’s a session for the whole club… And your figure isn’t what it used to be, anyway. Maybe I’ll ask for something else.” Terry acts like it isn’t a big deal.
“You’re so fucking rude!” She’s embarrassed and angry. “I’m so tired of your bullshit! I want you… I want you to… I don’t know! You’re the worst! Stupid Tewwy!”
“Ha! Your slip is back.” Terry laughs
“AaaaAaaah! I don’t know what I want, you’ll owe me a wish if I win.”
“That’s too vague, that won’t work.” Terry doesn’t like her proposition.
“What are you… a coward?”
“I’m not an 80’s movie protagonist, that won’t work on me. But fine, the nude session for the whole club will be enough for me.” Terry doesn’t seem to understand that he is asking is too much.
“F-f-f-f-fi-Fine! I’ll have my wish then! And it’s going to be like… Super humiliating!” Scarlet agrees begrudgingly.
“Then it’s settled.” Terry smiles at Scarlet then he does at you. It seems you are the witness.
“…Y-You’re going to regret this!” The all embarrassed Scarlet runs away to the station.

“Wait!” You yell, but Scarlet keeps running and you see her ass move with each step.
“I hope that was enough to convince her to study seriously.” Terry turns back and tells you.
“Eh…?” Did he steal your plan?
“Yeah, I wouldn't make her do that. Are you crazy? She lost her figure to ice cream and sweets...” Honestly, you’re either blind or he’s exaggerating.

You come back home to find Nariko sitting on the couch watching TV. She’s holding your console’s controller. She probably wanted to play but didn’t know how.

“Hi, Johnny! Welcome back!” She reacts like a normal person for once.
“Hey, you hungry, I’ll make dinner in an instant.”
“Yeah! Thanks!” Nariko is excited once again. Maybe saying short phrases made her sound like normal.
“Hi, Johnny! Welcome back!” She reacts like a normal person for once.
“Hey, you hungry? I’ll make dinner in an instant.”
“Yeaaah! Thanks!” Nariko is excited once again. Maybe saying short phrases made her sound like normal.
She later explained that Amelia came over and left before you showed up,after she left she wanted to play videogames but couldn't figure out how to turn the console back on. Maybe you two are slowly influencing Nariko for the worse… But hey, what else can you do…? Anyway, you went to sleep and once again woke up in the morning to face, yet again, the exams. It’s Thursday and you’re not excited.

Fast forwarding, the exams were easy almost like the first day, Uccelli’s tutoring did way more for you then the study sessions, but hey, this isn't bad either! Both Scarlet and Terry left the school without waiting for you; it seems they want to take their studies seriously… Now, your stuck with nothing to do…

What now?

>Go back home and study on your own.

This mysterious presence is bothering you enough that you want to check for whoever is responsible for it! Where could they be…? You spin your head around to check every corner in the room… But nothing…

“Walk outside, I’ll keep an eye out.” Philonune comes to the rescue! With his help you surely are going to find this mysterious presence!

You stand up, take your stuff, and leave the classroom; as soon as you arrive on the first floor, you feel an uncomfortable feeling coming from someplace. Like someone is glaring at you with a feeling you can't quite place.

“You saw him?”
“Not yet… Wait, he is hiding in the corner, next to the lockers. That's what you call those metal containers, right?” Philonune spots him! Good one!
“If I turn he’s going to know…”
“Doesn’t matter, I know who it is already…” Philoune figures out the mystery!
“So who is it?"
“Uh… The weird child that tried to kill us before.”
“Ah…?” What? Blake is dead, and Philonune wasn’t even there.
“The one who wanted to be your ally of sorts, but was actually a traitor to the cause, remember…?” Oh, you know perfectly who he means!
“You mean… Uh…” You forgot his name too. Guess that's what he gets for being so forgettable. “Whatever, he was Twist’s friend, right?”
“Indeed. But I don’t think he’s capable of doing any harm right now, unless he got a flame of his own in these past few days.” Strangely, Philonune goes over the situation rather calmly. “He’s a flameless kid, what can he do?”
“There are many ways he can be a nuisance, you know? Like whatever he is doing right now is pretty irritating.”
“What he's doing right now is very clearly to follow you around. But it’s your call, Johnny.”

Ehm… That kid could become a real pain in the ass if you don’t talk to him. But maybe Philonune is right, you don’t need to deal with him until he becomes a real threat.

What do you do?

>Go and talk to him. Even though you have the upper hand, you can afford to be direct as long as you're careful.
>Leave him be. You’re busy, and maybe you can bore him to death watching you for nothing.
>Call in Matilda to deal with him. That should scare him after last time!
>Write-in.

Girl needs even more money now that we can't pay her in dick.

“Let’s deal with this kid immediately; I don’t want to pile up more problems than we already have.” You tell Philonune, who completely agrees.

You calmly walk towards the kid with your hands in your pockets, showing no signs of care. He hides behind the wall, and you just move right to him and start talking to him.

“Hey kid, I know you are following me around and—” Before you could finish you hear the little scoundrel running away!
“I’ll have my revenge, Johnny Ando! Just you wait!” You hear him yell nasally. His voice triggered something in your brain, because you remembered his name! It’s Howie! And he’s getting away quite quickly… Though with your Athletics you could catch up to him if you took shortcuts.

“I have a bad feeling now if you insist on chasing him. This could easily be bait he set up days in advance…” Philonune remarks; your partner’s track record for these instances is immaculate. Maybe it’s not worth it and this is really is trap. But you still have to deal with this asshat someday, like it or not.

What do you do?

>Chase after him! What could possibly go wrong with this?
>Leave him be and go home, why bother with such a minor character.
>Go to the teacher’s office and tell them about Howie. Maybe if you’re lucky they're going to track him down and do something about it?
>Write In.

“I’m going to risk it anyway.” You start running! Time to deal with this nerd before the trouble gets too big for you to handle!

You quickly go after him in hot pursuit! He makes a quick turn as soon as he could, you turn as well and see him entering one of the classrooms. You go inside as well, and out of nowhere the door closes behind you; yep, this totally was a trap…

“Ha! I knew you couldn’t resist for three days consecutively!” A smug Howie says, he’s sitting on one of the classroom's desks.
“Three days too many if you ask me! Now you’re going to pay for ditching me in a dumpster!” From the shadows appears none other than Twist…! And by shadows I mean under the teacher’s desk…! You cannot help but to think this is underwhelming.
“I don’t want to ruin your party, but this feels underwhelming.” You tell both losers as you think it. I mean what can they do? Cry…?
“Hey, this is not all our plan!” Twist gets mad.
“Yeah, we have a secret weapon on our side…” They both point behind you.

Oh right, if Twist came from under the desk, and Howie was in front of you the whole time… Who closed the door…? You turn around and see the tower-man himself, Trent Figg! The bully who beat the shit out of you a week ago!

“Ha! We know he beat you! And now we’re paying him to slay you once again…!” Howie grins like a little brat who managed to steal multiple cookies in a row. Slay? Really…?
“There no place for you to run now. We’re finally going to avenge Federiel after what you did to him! He was one of the good guys, and you killed him!" Twist says. They have been waiting for this moment for… a few days? It wasn’t too long since you beat Twist. They must have been planning this ever since you ditched both of them. And from the looks of it, Twist bought into the Creator hook, line, and sinker.

“I've been waiting for this…! Now, nobody is going to stop me.” Trent starts cracking his knuckles as he starts slowly walking up to you.

>Invoke Philonune right now and rush Trent together! You're not fucking up this time!
>Invoke Philonune right now and rush Twist and Howie! Even the odds - throw Twist at Trent with Philo while you take on Howie.
>“Hey, I thought there were no hard feelings!” Diplomacy time!
>Have Philonune throw chairs around at them while you rush a window to escape!
>It’s time for your revenge, fight Trent Figg 1v1 once again! This is NOT stupid. At. All.

Your sister’s tears are a fresh memory in your head, something you don’t ever want to see again. You invoke Philonune as you turn around, and rush Twist and Howie who both are behind you! You have to even the odds or else you'll get your ass kicked again!
“Ah…!?” Twist yells! He still seems able to see Philonune despite being de-flamed. Your partner grabs Twist by the shirt and throws him towards Trent! At the same time your go in to strike Howie in the face!
“W-wait, we were supposed to wat—” He's interrupted as your fist is buried in his face, and he collides with the desk that was behind him, taking a nasty fall. “Aaaaah…!” He screams in pain, though he doesn't seem to be bleeding.

What was that? They were supposed to watch? Fat fucking chance: you KNOW they would join in the moment they saw you get weakened by Trent. The thought makes you dislike Howie and Twist even more than you already did.

Meanwhile, Twist flies through the air, and without much effort Trent grabs him with one arm.
“Hey, thanks!” Twist is saved! ...Or that would be the case, but Trent just throws him away like a sack of potatoes and he falls at the far corner of the room. “Ouch, ouch, ouch...!” Twist had a nasty fall too, weird way to show his pain though. You can't see how injured he is from where you are.

“...I was going to beat both of the nerds myself and then have a little chat with you... but you seem eager to fight with your ghost man, so let’s do it.” Trent goes into a stance and gets ready to fight, beckoning at you. Wait, what did he say? He knows about your flame!? Whatever, you can deal with that after the fight.

What do you do? (Reminder not to roll yet!)

>Time to face Trent Figg once again! With Philo’s help this is going to be a piece of cake. (Easy Roll)
>The match is even! Fight Trent yourself with no bullshit. (Super Hard Roll)
>“Wait, what? You want to talk…? Let’s talk.” If there is no need to fight, then why do it? Keep Philo out just in case though.

“Wait, you want to talk…?” You keep Philonune summoned.
“Yeah, I guess that calmed your spirit.” Trent visibly relaxes too. Whew.
“Okay then, let’s talk.” You remain alert in case this is a trick or something...

“Hey! We paid you! We had a deal! You can’t just leave and chat with the enemy!” Howie stands up, he’s holding his back…
“I don’t care. If you want your money back, why don’t you come here and take it?” Trent taunts Howie. The only thing Howie can do is to look down with a nervous look on his face. It’s kinda sad, but they still deserve it.
“This ain’t over you two…!” Twist stands up as well, though he's clutching his shoulder instead.
“No Twist, let them go. We can’t do anything…” Howie says in a defeated voice.
“C’mon four-eyes…” Trent Figg leaves the room… You feel you have no other option but to follow him.

Outside the classroom Trent locks the door, leaving both Twist and Howie inside. You stare at him, still confused.

“...What? Those two are pesky shits. You can let them out whenever you want after this.” He throws you the keys casually. You try to grab them in the air, but they hit you in the chest. At least you have them now.
“So what do you want to talk about…?”
“You have a ghost man, right?”
“Ghost man…?” The flames…?
“Yeah, you have a flame on your shoulder, right? You don’t have to hide it, Blake told me everything and these two chucklefucks confirmed it.” He says as he jabs his thumb over to the door behind him. Seems like Trent wants answers.
“So what if I have one?”
Trent sighs in annoyance and... is that resignation? “I don't usually do this, but I need to ask you for a favor.”
“…And that is?”
“I need you to go beat someone for me. He’s causing trouble in my zone, and I want him gone. He has a ghost man too, and there's no way I can take him on myself, or else he'd already be done. I’ll call you when the time comes, not this week though… Now gimme your number.” He takes his phone out.

How do you respond?

>“Sorry man, I’m not interested. I already have enough problems as it is.”
>“Alright, but I can’t promise you I’ll win. There's more shit going on here than you know.”
>“Just tell me who this guy is, and I’ll figure something out. He just has to be gone, right?"
>Write In.

“Alright, but I can’t promise you I’ll win. There’s more shit going on here than you know.”
“If he beats your ass, I’ll take care of the rest – I just need you to do some of your black magic whatever on him. You get me?”
“Okay, but tell you what. I need some help with learning how to fight. I've gotten by for now, but I know I'm going against some heavy hitters eventually. I'll help with your problem for some training."
“So you want to finish the job entirely, huh? I like your style… Ehm… What was your name again?”
“Johnny.”
“Yeah, Johnny. I won’t forget now, you got it.”

“Now that we’re talking business, has Twist mentioned what kind of flame this guy has? I might be able to negotiate if he's a black flame, but a white flame, it's going to be a fight for certain.”
“Who the fuck is Twist…?” He really doesn't know?
“Uhm… the guy with the hat.” You point back to the classroom where both of them are still inside.
“Oh… No, those dweebs contacted me; I got nothing to do with them before Sunday.” He looks disgusted with the thought of being allies with them.
“Alright…” You shrug as you take out your phone and exchange information with Trent Figg.
“Give me a call when you want some training. See ya, Johnny.” And without much fanfare he leaves like nothing happened. Part of you still can't believe you had a decent conversation with a guy that tore you up a week or so ago. Guess that's life, huh?

You unlock the classroom and leave the key there, before leaving towards your apartment.
