Seija Quest 5

[Tom]

> Who is closer to the open, active book, us or her?

> 'Keine' is closest to the door, in front of her is the book, then you and behind you is the ghost.

[Kilgamayan]

> Are we lying on the foor?
> Is 'Keine' lying on the floor?
> Is the book within arm's reach of us?
> Is it within arm's reach of 'Keine'?

[Tom]

> Are we lying on the foor?
> Is 'Keine' lying on the floor?
> Is the book within arm's reach of us?
> Is it within arm's reach of 'Keine'?

> You are on the floor.
> Keine has used the projectile spam as an opening to crawl towards the door.
> You can touch it, but you'd have to take one (crawl) step over to reach it properly in a way that doesn't shower you in danmaku.
> No, she's now several (crawl) steps away from it.

[Kilgamayan]

> Well, this plan worked once. Let's hope it works again!
> Take the one crawl step to move toward the book to grab it and close it.
> If 'Keine' is still within view at this point, hold onto the book, and prepare to swap locations/positions with her. Fire off the swap if she makes it to the door OR if she stands up.

> Just as you manage to grab the book and slam it shut, 'Keine' makes it to the door forcing you to swap locations with her!
> You're now at the door, and a disoriented 'Keine' is examining the book in her hands.

[Kilgamayan]

> Fire a horizontal wave of bullets at 'Keine', and then apply our signature illusion to flip everything upside-down for everyone!

[Tom]

> Fire a horizontal wave of bullets at 'Keine', and then apply our signature illusion to flip everything upside-down for everyone!

> You flip everything upside down and 'Keine' bonks her head on the floor! ..at least there's some benefits to not having a hitbox for the ghost!
> The now disoriented 'Keine' drops the book once more, landing face up and spawning more waves of danmaku.
> Yuyuko spins around, launching her fan at 'Keine' and landing a direct hit which sends her flying out the window, leaving a tanuki shaped hole in it!

> Iris laughs "I guess some things can't be disguised!~"

[Kilgamayan]

> Drop the illusion.
> Scrambling low as needed to avoid getting shot in the face, hurry over to the book, close it again, and hold it to ourselves.
> Look to Yuyuko: "Go look to see if she's knocked out. If she's still going, I'm going to end it."
> With book in hand, make our way under the desk here in the study, moving the chair out of the way if needed.

> Everything returns right side up!
> You grab the book and slam it shut once more!
>> Obtained: Demon Book - "It's those damned books keeping me away from a 1CC!" - An uninformed EoSD player.

> Yuyuko floats outside and shouts "She's making a run for it!"
> You manage to crawl between the statues and under the desk without moving anything.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Get ready for her to come right back!"
> Like last night, hold the book out in front of us as far as our arms can reasonably extend, still closed but positioned such that we would look like we were reading it if we opened it. It should also be standing on the ground, so that it could remain upright even if we weren't holding it in place.
> Then open the book, let go of it, and undo our swap with the disguised tanuki!

> Yuyuko floats back into the room, effortlessly weaving through the waves of danmaku.
> You hold out the book and open it just before undoing the swap with 'Keine'.
> Despite being outside the inn you clearly hear someone shouting "Aaah!!!" from inside before hearing a loud thud.

[Kilgamayan]

> Grin.
> "Hmph."
> Hurry back on into the study! (If we can safely fit through the hole in the window, do so; otherwise, enter the building normally.)

[Tom]

> Grin.
> "Hmph."
> Hurry back on into the study! (If we can safely fit through the hole in the window, do so; otherwise, enter the building normally.)

> Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!) it's not Amanojaku-shaped!
> Going around the long way you enter the study to find Yuyuko and Iris staring under the table, seemingly at a loss for words.

[Kilgamayan]

> Give Iris a slight nod.
> "What up, dollface."
> Have a peek under the table ourselves.

[Tom]

> Give Iris a slight nod.
> "What up, dollface."
> Have a peek under the table ourselves.

> Iris continues scratching her head, as best as a doll can anyways.
> Under the table you find.. a golden statue of the tanuki Mamizou!

[Kilgamayan]

> Blink.
> "...Huh. That's...not what I expected to come back to see."
> Are there coins scattered everywhere?

[Tom]

> Blink.
> "...Huh. That's...not what I expected to come back to see."
> Are there coins scattered everywhere?

> "Did she just-" Yuyuko tries to speak but stops, visibly disturbed, before dashing out of the room through the fireplace.
> "What's her problem?" Iris comments.

> There's a couple new coins under the table, but they're ultimately a rounding error compared to the shower of coins Shinmyoumaru scattered.

[Kilgamayan]

> Look to Iris.
> "...I'm guessing this doesn't count as a solution, does it?"

[Tom]

> Look to Iris.
> "...I'm guessing this doesn't count as a solution, does it?"

> "I-I have to r-rethink what a solution e-even means now! What an unprecedented affair! The elections gonna be affected no matter what now.." the doll shouts while waiving its arms frantically.
> "Everyone will meet at the plaza at sunset, be there or be square! Oh, and find where the ghost ran off to! She might have a hand in solving this..." Iris demands before dashing out the tanuki-shaped hole in the window.

[Kilgamayan]

> Call out after her: "Who else is there to be part of 'everyone'?"

[Tom]

> Call out after her: "Who else is there to be part of 'everyone'?"

> The doll slides to a stop (despite lacking something to side on mid-air!) and backpedals into the inn "Everyone with an invitation card. I'll let them know, just find that ghost!" before dashing away and disappearing into the distance.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we know what's on the other side of the fireplace wall?

[Tom]

> Do we know what's on the other side of the fireplace wall?

> If Shinmyoumaru were around she'd say "The great outdoors!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Hurry on out of the inn in pursuit of the ghost lady!

[Tom]

> Hurry on out of the inn in pursuit of the ghost lady!

> You run outside but don't make it in time, she's gone!

[Kilgamayan]

> Crap.
> Is there anyone else around?

[Tom]

> Crap.
> Is there anyone else around?

> A few residents tending to their businesses and trades.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do any of them look not-busy?

[Tom]

> Do any of them look not-busy?

> All of them look kind of busy, some more than others. The least busy seem to be two farmers slowly loading a hay wagon.

[Kilgamayan]

> Do they look like they could use some help from a strapping young oni lass?
