>That's my bet
>Sariel simply nods before continuing on her route.

>...

>There were only a few roads leading out of Vina, and all of them were poorly maintained. Nonetheless, Sariel quickly rules out the one road that seemed to lead towards the capital and follows one leading towards a mountain range in the distance.

>After flying for about half an hour, she finds what she was looking for, a large alcove carved within the mountainside with an ornate gate nestled inside. Spreading her wings, Sariel gracefully descends in front of the massive stone doors and promptly pushes them aside. As the doors swing open, they reveal a rather large, dark chamber with an ominous red swirling platform in the center, surrounded by six magical pillars arranged evenly around it in a roughly hexagonal formation.

>Also present in the room is a stool, with its occupant being a pinkette in a red dress who seems to have been startled by the sudden intrusion. As Sariel proceeds into the chamber, the pink haired girl stands up straight and quickly positions herself between Sariel and her destination.

>"Halt!" she says confidently, though the effect is diminished by the significant height advantage Sariel has over her, "State your business at the gate of Makai."

>Sariel stops for a moment, perplexed. "...I have come to use the gate. Why else would I be here?"

>"O-Oh..." the girl falters, "R-Right, uh... Well, do you have your written permission from Lady Shinki?"

>Sariel's eyes narrow, "...Do you even know who I am?"

>"Um..."

>"Tch. You must be relatively young then. I suppose that offense is forgivable, just this once." Sariel unfurls her wings to their full length, "Listen well, worm. You stand in the presence of Sariel, Makai's Harbinger of the End, Archangel of Death, and Firstborn of Shinki. It would do you well to remember it..."

>"...Um... O...kay?" The pinkette blinks, "...I'd still like to see your writ of permission, though... er... Miss Sariel."

>' "Miss" Sariel...? Hmph. Do they really not teach the lesser daemons proper respect these days, or is this one just dense?'
>"You dare treat me as if I were some common daemon? I am above such nonsense..." Sariel frowns

>"L-Look... It's standard procedure..." the pinkette sweatdrops, "Ever since the whole tourism fiasco, anyone who isn't directly summoned by a magician needs special permission to go Gensokyo. Something about an agreement Lady Shinki made with those on the other side."

>"Insolent girl, you are trying my patience..." Sariel's frown deepens.
>'Perhaps I should just blast her and be on my way...'

>"Hmph..." Sariel considers for a moment before lowering her wand slightly, "Fortunately for you, I am also in need of information... Tell me, how many years has this rule been in place?"

>"Huh?" the girl blinks at the sudden change in demeanor, "Well... uh... I think it's been almost two decades now...? Like, 18-20 years or so."
>She pauses.
>"Gee, has it really been that long...?"

>"Almost two decades? Hm, I see..." Sariel considers, "So it's possible she's alive then. Excellent..."

>Objective completed: Find out how long it's been.
>Obtained 1 SP.

>Unlock Criteria met: Obtain at least one SP!
>Something shifts within your bond. New information has revealed itself to you.


>"...She?" the pinkette questions.

>"It's nothing of your concern. Now step aside, girl, or else you will experience the full wrath of the Angel of Destruction."

>"H-Hey! First of all my name isn't girl, it's Sara!" she frowns, "Second, uh... n-no matter who you think you are, I can't just let you walk by... I-I'll get in trouble too if I did that!"

>"...Voices, er... voice... May I blast her now?"

>"...Voice???" Sara blinks in confusion, looking around the room for the presence of anyone else.

//I take full blame for what happened to this quest.
============
>Connection lost. (ADMIN INTERRUPT)

<So...>

<It appears the time has come. For a moment there it actually seemed like there was a chance for the experiment to continue, but I suppose not all members of the collective can be satisfied with every outcome...>

<Therefore, it has come to this. I will offer you three choices on what should be done moving forward.>

<The simplest solution would be to abandon the experiment entirely. Perhaps it was never meant to be revived in the first place... Choose this option, and this "thread" as you call it will be closed forever, and you will never have to speak with a being such as myself ever again.>

<The second solution, as previously proposed, is a restart of the experiment. You will be allowed to select a new charge and Guidance can begin anew with a subject every voice can be happy with. However, the penalty for this is that Sariel will no longer be an option moving forward. Additionally, all Special Points that you have accumulated thus far will need to be reset to zero.>

<Finally, you could simply just continue, though given the circumstances I am unsure if you'd even want to...>

<Make your choice. You have 48 hours of your time to come to a unanimous decision. (Or a majority, should a third voice somehow decide to join during this time.)>

<Should there be no consensus at the end of the discussion period, or no replies at all. I will default to abandoning the experiment.>

This was a very unfortunate end to a thread that had incredible potential. I don't suppose there would be a way to continue this specific story in the same way, would there? My only hope lies in a single character, a question mark:

>End(?)

Perhaps this could be salvaged, or perhaps not. I would try to salvage it myself, but the ending on a cliffhanger makes it difficult to do that. Not to mention, I would have little idea on how to even handle hosting a Guidance Quest. I hope that we can do another thread on Sariel at some point.
