What is something if it isn't yours? As the number of people in Gensokyo, so too are the number of responses.

"Something to be treasured."
"Another worthless piece of trash."
"Control."
"Retaliatory grounds!"
"I...don't think about things like that."
"For me, it'd be something only those groundlings enjoy."
"Inconceivable, I own everything anyways!"
"Crystals...and I wouldn't have much need of those."
"Everything I want is right here beside me."

But for me, if something isn't mine, that something is one word: "Mine."

"You're...leaving?"

"Yes, Chen. I think it's okay though. You're a big girl now. You can take care of yourself."

...that was the day where it all began. When Master Ran told me I wasn't going to be her shikigami anymore.

I was a good few hundred years old by that time. I could have easily taken care of myself then, just as she said.

But...that wasn't why I was sad.

"No! Don't leave me! Y-You're-"

"Chen. I don't know when I'll see you again, but I promise, I won't be gone forever."

Master Ran and Master Yukari went somewhere...I don't even remember anymore. But they had to leave Gensokyo. Maybe they didn't, actually...I don't remember. My memory of that is very fuzzy.

[x] Go back and open that freezer.

What's behind that freezer door?

That door.

That door...

[x] Ask Tenshi to toss a huge rock at Aya’s house to bust open a hole in the wall. Wanton violence solves EVERYTHING!
[x] Maybe you can find someone to help persuade Reimu to let you in. Wonder where Marisa is right now?
[x] Wait…Offering box! Quickly go to Reimu’s shrine and hold the offering box hostage!
[x] Give up and go to Remilia’s castle.

Alright, I'm new here, so bear with me. This is my first published story... so please feel free to give feedback. As you all realize, this is a CYOA, but this one will take a turn and control two different Characters in individual storylines, connected but never meeting.... so... all I can say is... Enjoy!


YUKARI

Today was a good day, you thought to yourself. Around you, you can see the bright lights that fill the air as many different things move past you in a blur. Yes, you are in New York City. Normally, a magnificent youkai like you has no business in the human world, but today is a special day. Today is your good old friend Rinnosuke's birthday, and you had gone out of your way to get him something particularly special. In your arms is the new Ipad that he had been talking about for what seemed like the last month and a half. Loaded with just about everything you could find, you’re sure that he was going to simply adore this gift.

As the light changes, you begin your safe passage onto your last destination, the alleyway that concealed your border back into Gensokyo. You had concealed it well, placing it on the backside of a trashcan. It's a bit dark out, however, so you have to feel for the border's edges... and, feel as you may, you can't find anything. Using the light from the Ipad in your arms, you shine it onto the trashcan and gasp. The border was gone. Additionally, the light shines on two very confused, somewhat bulky men. The light must have taken their attention away from whatever was bothering them, but suddenly they turned their heads up towards you with a scowl.

Yukari, what do you do?

[] Try to reason with the thugs
[] Run like hell while you still can
[] Try fighting them off while you still can use Danmaku.
………………………………………………………………………….

[x] Trust Tewi and go with her.

(Oh, and cheers to the fourth thread!)

Huh, maybe Tewi is genuinely afraid for your welfare. After all, you wouldn’t wish death by torturous experimental medicine testing on even your worst enemies (well, maybe not your WORST enemy…), so you run towards the door Tewi’s waving from and you jump inside.

You look around and see that you’re in a sort of operating room, complete with many different sharp instruments on a shiny metal table next to the surgical table.

*prick*

AW, SON OF A BITCH.

You get pricked in the left upper arm and you jump away from Tewi who was standing next to you while you were looking at the room. You go into a defensive stance, but your left bicep suddenly tightens very painfully as you flex your bicep uncontrollably. Blood begins to gush out of the oddly large needle wound and you demand Tewi to tell you what exactly she stuck you with.

“Pfft, hell if I know. All I know is that whatever it is I just injected you with, its doing a fine job of hurting you.” She gives you an evil grin and waves a rather large syringe at you.

Hokai, new thread, vote here for the continuation of my previous post.

Here are your options again:

[x] Wake everyone up and go Alice’s house. You have to apologize to her for not being at Aya’s house in time to meet her.
[x] You need to cure that horrible urge inside you before it takes control again, try to find someone experienced in medicine to help you.
[x] Let’s go see how Reimu’s doing.
[x] Who was that green haired person from last night?

Hello my friends and welcome to Chapter two of "Just an Average Joe" (winning title by TwittyandStrange)

If you haven't read the story up till now...well, good luck finding it as it doesn't even have a title and I'm far too lazy to do anything about it. The story will pick up from here as Joe is about to (finally) make his way over to Kourindou...

Howdy! Let’s play a CYOA like survival game where the main objective is to avoid getting kidnapped by Yukari and being taken to Gensokyo. Lucky for you though, she has the courtesy to send you an “invitation” beforehand so you can prepare. You see, Yukari‘s grown bored of watching people die helplessly after kidnapping them and letting them run around Gensokyo, so she‘s decided to give you a fighting chance. You, on the other hand, don‘t plan on going off to your doom and will resist. However, going to Gensokyo doesn’t exactly net an instant bad ending, but the only way to “win” is to be able to survive and thrive or make it back to the outside world. Or, if you’re clever enough, you can convince Yukari to either leave you alone or evade her enough to make her give up (but if she catches you after evading her for so long, she might not take you to a nice place). The choices I give are just personal suggestions on what to do, but creative suggestions will almost always guarantee a good event, so think outside the box and don’t forget to use your surroundings! You can find/purchase/use items to help in your survival and skills are randomly given depending on your choices.

Anyways, to start out, you are Joe, an average boring guy with an average boring life and you are currently sitting. Kinda want a new name because Joe just screams average, but there is a more pressing matter at hand. There is a letter on the table that you just finished reading that says, “Congratulations, human! Your life will no longer be the bland, mediocre existence that you‘ve come to represent! I’ve personally chosen you to go on a one-way expedition to the wonderful land of Gensokyo! I suggest getting a survival kit and a weapon to make friends with. Otherwise, you will end up all alone like everyone before you. Don’t take too long, I’ll come by shortly to pick you up. Love, Yukari”. The letter itself has beautiful ornate designs on the sides and there is a faint but pleasant smell emanating from the envelope, but that’s not what captivates your attention at all. It’s the fact that you woke up with the letter on your chest and someone had to break in to your home to deliver it to you th

[x] Home run

The door practically bursts off its hinges, a visible column of air ramming outward. A dark shape flies toward you, and you instinctively knock it away with the side of your sword. Only as it soars into the air above you, orphaned fedora gently spiraling down, that you recognize the shape as Renko.

Crap, crap, crap.

She lands, spinning, on top the roof, bounces once, and lies there, groaning dazedly.

Craaaap.

A sharp, forceful step snaps your attention back to the doorway, where a tall, silver haired woman now stands, a shimmering, ghostly sword in her hands. Very much a woman.

"This is my judgment. You are black." Shikieiki Yamaxanadu sighed at the recording of her very first real trial in Gensokyo. Since then, she had gone on to judge many other cases, but this was the first where she was not the judge, jury, and executioner. In the defendant's chair, she had been squirming nervously while her fellow Yamas in the jury tried to make eye contact with her. They weren't successful. Currently called to witness was Reimu, being asked questions by the prosecution and then by the defense. The western-styled trial was mainly due in part to the influence of the reigning Yama, who happened to be raised in North America. Shikieiki, along with many other non-western Yama, were very unfamiliar with the process, so it took a little while before the trial actually started. This only served to heighten the formerly stoic Shikieiki's nervousness, as if she already knew what the verdict would be.

"May I call Eiki Shiki to the stand."

Shikieiki cringed at the sound of her almost-forgotten name. It was her turn, her time to speak her mind. It was her chance to show everyone her side of the story.

Excerpt from the Official Transcript of the High Enma's Court, XXXX, Apr XX

Pr (Prosecutor): Please state your name and your occupation.
Sh (Shikieiki): My name is Eiki Shiki, and my job is to weigh the souls that come before me and pronounce judgment on them.

Pr: So, in other words, you are a faithful Yama, correct?
De (Defense Lawyer): Eiki, don't answer that.
