4!

We shall be a lock and key!

>>259931
YES!
That would be totally awesome!
4!

LOCK MAN! 4!!!

I decided for a second that I actually was going to use the lock as a real character but then I smacked myself on the head for thinking something like that.

We shall keep the lock and key for things that are locked, or we could stall the quest right away because a lock and key does not think and is unable to make choices.

>>259937
Honestly, you should have known this would happen.

Okay, our actual choices seem to be between a :v face, something vaguely normal and something vaguely horrifying. With nothing else to go on, I pick the second one.

Although I am somewhat partial to 'vaguely horrifying' I'm going to have to go with the second one as well.

Oh, I did know that was gonna happen. For the faces, I didn't have any idea how to make the 'menu' interesting. So I made faces. The colors are all right though, but I don't know if I'm actually going to use color. Mostly just to have a vague idea what the characters look like.

I'm not that good with gimp. Or drawing in general.

Well, I'm gonna go with the Japansese name du jour OH WAIT THAT'S ALL OF THEM DOHOHOHOHO.
...Though after a quick Google search the first one appears to actually be Scottish. Or Hebrew, if you wanted it as a boy's name.

Oh well. "Vaguely horrifying" is always nice, so 3.

"I want to know what happened."
"Sure, take a seat. I'll tell you what I know."
"Alright then, do speak."
"I'm not from the police, so I don't know much... yet... But I know that it was a blunt object that did it."
"Kinda like a bat?"
"Yeah. Or, a crowbar. Maybe more than one."

The morning rises. A new day begins.

"Hey sister!" called out Iane.
Akane turned around and waved as a welcome, while her sister caught her breath.
"Still as slow as ever!" Akane commented, while Iane was busy between her breath and her pout.
"Oh yeah? Well... y'know, Shikyo..."
Akane blinked. "Y-yeah? What about her?"
Iane giggled, and she sprinted forward. Damn!

Akane entered the school. Oh, it was math class... it was so easy, she already did every homework of the year, she read all the book and was finished with it. Should she go there anyway like a good little girl, or should she skip classes to wander about?

Just go to school for now.

Akane decides that it'd be best if she went to class anyway. After all, skipping classes isn't good for her reputation!

As expected, she was bored. She took a quick look outside on the field; some people were playing football in the very back of the field. While she listened to the teacher without much interest, she got a little jewel ball out of her pack and held it in her hand.

"Hey. Sorry we had to interrupt our conversation early yesterday. How are you? I remember you had questions to ask me. Go ahead." She thought, as if talking to the ball.

>>260248

Yes, if you'll remember we were talking about the local technologies? I believe I asked about how power is generated, how communication is managed, the most common sorts of vehicles, if organ transplants are available, and that sort of thing. Magic, if it exists beyond the little artifact that we are, too.

Feel free to add whatever information you want, too, as the questions I've asked are hardly a comprehensive list.

>>260259

"Electricity is power around here. Everything functions with it; except cars, but they'll soon work with it too. We're advanced enough that we can do transplants yes, but there's always the risk that it won't work. Of course I'm saying all of this but keep in mind that we're just a little town here. There are roads but barely anyone uses cars anymore. Ever since the digsite was closed and the dam deemed unsafe, in fact. Population decreased somewhat. As for magic... Well, I don't think so. But between you and me, I picked up some book about white and black magic. It's kinda interesting even though nothing probably works."

She takes a quick peek outside the window; Shikyo is out there sleeping under a tree.

(Lack of picture, I know.)

who is Shikyo, is she you're friend? Iane hinted at something what was that all about?

"Well we kinda pick on each other often... She's saying that Shikyo is someone I might, you know... have feelings for... but she's wrong! I tell you, she's just a friend. She's just a friend."

(I forgot to mention it. The drawing style really didn't inspire me to make more, so I changed. Besides, I feel more comfortable with lesser drawings than what I can't do with Paint Skills.)

"I think you've not gotten a good look at the classroom yet. After all I only got you yesterday; apparently the stray dog Iane found and kept had you on its collar. Like I said, we're a small town... we got maybe three other classes like this one. Fifteen students, one teacher. There's the door to the left there and the big window. And of course there's me, yes, right there.

You know, I haven't learned a lot about you too. What are you like? Are you some kinda person hiding in some old house or something? What do you think about? It feels kinda strange to ask what a small ball thinks about. Do you like magic? You seemed to ask something about that earlier. Perhaps you'd find the book I got interesting."

well, we are pretty sure we ARE magic, a dimension hopper. also a good chance that while they are fake some of the info could be useful. the spells in magic things are usually just focus mantras to make it easier, get good enough skill and you wont need to talk to make things happen. also suggest you balence the white and black, the ma be opposites but they are like yin and yang they NEED eachother, so learning from both should be a lot better then just one.

as to what we are, we are basically a wellspring of thought, most in here are helpful but some are malicious and will tell you to do bad things. oh and if give us to an enemy we can drive them insane by dumping WAY too much information into their head. we like you though so we wont do that.

 

>>264045

While we are magic, we are also cat people. I have a file here that will help you better understand us.

>>264310
oh yeah, and the one that are nether and just want to mess with you really hard.

>>264317

Well I'm a cat person anyway. I don't know about you. Anyway I gotta run and bite a zebra neck. Ciao.

Protip: Assume that at any given time half of us are just fucking with you.

>>264310
This guy for example.
