I have decided I am not enough of a goodie two shoes to be a paladin. XD I keep wanting to do things and then grumbling "no that would break the oath if I'm gonna break it it's gotta be for something cool."

i dont think this guy is fit to give testimony

[raylin-creates]

We're already off to a juicy start! I love that you can already see a difference in personality--he's a little more spoiled, a little more delicate. It seems like he's been reverted to before even his first ascension, so this is truly a Xie Lian before White No-Face had interfered in his life.

I guess Wetwired Mulder has already forgotten about the events of Blood. Hell, Pusher even, which must have happened only a couple of months before.

...why is the dragon in the center of the frame? Why is Mei's ancestor in the center of the frame?

Does the fourth ring have something to do with Mei?

[aparticularbandit]

Okay but.

If Ryoko is Junko.

Why are her eyes red when she's Ryoko and blue when she's Junko.

I mean, we can play the Red Oni, Blue Oni trope if we want, but like.

Which one of them is wearing contacts.

[indiiglow]

It's so funny seeing Mark freak out so much playing amnesia the bunker when Aggy was so unphased lmao

[genderfluid-druid]

Hmmmmm I'm thinking about the coda.

How dare you love me like you've never known fear When you've got more troubles than minutes in the year And a voice like your father's tells you nothing good's for free Well that may be, but you're walking home to me

"Life is loss" is it. Is it.

Chapter 18

Yakumo is still looking for Pai, only having a photo of her to show other people. He calls her the Goddess of Fortune...kind of shooting himself in the foot when it comes to being taken seriously and...really? You've had nothing but good luck since meeting her? The woman who has caused you to die a dozen times since you met? Her?

Pai is fine, by the way. She's in this schoolgirl outfit hanging out with these other kids. She was called to the principal's office and they stayed after school to wait for her. Apparently, Pai was caught on film in her uniform and they put the picture in a magazine, getting her in trouble. So her friends are taking her out to cheer her up. She's happy...but she gets the odd feeling she's being watched...

Oh well though. Her new name is Pai Ayano Kouji. She's a first year (15-16) at Kouka's Private Girl's Academy. A lonely middle class girl without a boyfriend. "Boyfriend" will be a recurring theme here because her life's goal is to get a really cool one. But she still feels like she's being watched, specifically by an evil presence. Her friends call her crazy but...nah, she's definitely being spied on. By several guys now...

Her friends come across a homeless man on the street who has apparently been there for three days. He has the magazine with Pai in it...it's Yakumo. He stands up and starts gasping like a trapped animal, freaking the girls out into running away from him. But he grabs Pai's wrist, pulling her in for a hug...

Then she throws him back and screams for help.

Now he's homeless and a molester! Good job, Yakumo!

Her friends want to get the hell out, saying the city's changed. Pai says weird shit has been happening since the last week. It's like the town has changed since the magazine came out. Just when they're about to set out, Pai spots Yakumo running. She's scared so her friends want to find someplace to hide from him. Then a guy comes up and offers them a stay in his club, saying there's a special discount for ladies tonight. They go in and, as soon as they hit the floor, the music stops.

(They got the wrong place...)

Oh, those aren't real people. They're mannequins. They run for the door but it's locked from the outside. Then, a giant female mannequin descends on Pai...before bowing and saying welcome.

End of chapter.
