"...A-Alex." You remember. "Do you know how you got into the garden?" "...No... I just remember blacking out one morning..." You replied. "Oh... that's what happened. You're an outsider?" The person asked. "Outsider? Outside of what?" "Have you heard of 'Gensokyo'...?" "No..." "Okay. My name's Yuuka Kazami." "What do you think I should do now...?" "You'll need more rest." Yuuka hands you a book. "But... read this first. It'll help you. Now, I need to be off. If you need something, look for Elly." Yuuka walked off.

Alex decided to read the book that Yuuka gave him, then get some much-needed rest.

The book had a few places marked, mainly on various people in this "Gensokyo" place that he had found himself in, but also the "Danmaku" section.

After reading the book, he decided to take a much-needed rest.

>> A few hours later...

Alex was woken up by a knock at the door. He got up, and headed to the door, but it opened from the outside before he could open it himself.

Now in front of Alex was a girl, about his own height, wearing a red dress, as well as a hat with a red bow on top.

"You're-" "Yeah. I'm Elly. You need anything?"

[X] "Something to eat, please?"
[X] "An explanation."
[X] "Not really."

Kinda want to hear what she will tell us.

[X] "An explanation."

This shit is retro as fuck.

>>30125: You're right!

Estimated time to next post is unknown, but will most likely be later today.

>>30125
What do you mean?

"I need to figure something out... like how I got to this... Gensokyo place." "Oh. That? I'm not sure on how people actually get into Gensokyo, sometimes the border surrounding this place does weird things like that. My best advice is just don't get on Yuuka's bad side." "...Thanks." "I'd also recommend taking a bit more rest." Alex nodded, and Elly left the room.

Alex began resting again.

>> A few more hours later...
Yuuka had just arrived. Now Alex has been forced to go along with her into the town. Alex is now standing by the entrance to the Kazami flower shop.

Suddenly, Aya approaches Alex. "So you're the one that Yuuka's been carrying around... who are you, and what's with Yuuka!?"

What do you tell Aya?
[X] Write-in, I'll choose the one that gets used. Realistic answers only.

[2] "And who are you?"

This was the only response that was submitted.
ETA to post currently unknown, but it'll be up sometime later today.

[2] "And who are you?"

// This was the only response submitted.

"...And who are you?" "Aya Shameimaru. Newspaper reporter on Youkai Mountain." "Well, name's Alex Yakani. Why do you have to talk to me, anyway?" "Well, news of outsiders coming to Gensokyo is big enough, having Yuuka be involved makes it an even bigger deal."

How should Alex deal with Aya?

In what way should Alex deal with Aya?
[X] Act hostile
[X] Act neutral
[X] Act friendly

// ...but didn't Elly warn not to get on Yuuka's bad side? Choose carefully...

[X] Act neutral
-[x] "Well it's nice to meet you, but would you PLEASE NOT SHOW UP SO SUDDENLY!

[X] Act neutral

Wait until Yuuka is back before making any snap judgments.

Head to the archives and just start reading from the top of the page. Early story retro.

I wonder if we'll get an option to jump into a lake.

So we are a guy who suddently pops into Gensokyo.
Also:
>You heard... some sort of lyric.
This is interesting. Thoughts?

>> [0] Hostile
[2] Neutral
>> [0] Friendly

Your best option, in your opinion, would be to just prolong the conversation until Yuuka gets involved.

"Listen, it's nice to meet you and all, but I never really liked the news back before I entered this place, and I don't really want to have to deal with the news here either." "...But that's what the news IS, y'know?" "Yeah, sure. If that's how you want to put it, fine. But I'm not interested in being interviewed." At that moment, Yuuka left the building. "Aya, what are you doing?" At seeing Yuuka, "Aya" zoomed off. "You okay?" "Yeah, pretty much." "I'm finished with everything, we're going home." You simply nod.

>> Later that night...

You could not sleep, despite your best efforts. Something was bugging you to no end, and you're not sure what. Suddenly, all the lights in the room go completely dark, and a crashing noise could be heard from the next room over. An unknown person comes flying in through the window, and lands on the other side of the room, just across from where you're sitting. The only thing in the room that you can see are 8 small crystals, 2 red, 2 blue, 2 yellow, and 2 green, all located in a wing-like formation. "Hehehehe..."

What will you do now?
[X] Find Elly, she's the gatekeeper, isn't she?
[X] Look for Yuuka. This is important enough to wake her up.
[X] Maybe that floating figure just outside the front door of the mansion could help...?

// This vote will close at 4:00 PM EDT.(8:00 PM UTC/20:00 server time)

[X] INWARDLY PANIC
[x] Go get Yuuka.
