MP: hey, um..
MP: might you have noticed that bright glowy pattern thing in the sky..
MP: the one right about your house that is ><
MP: i believe you can get a better look at it from your attic
MP: and well..call me crazy, but something tells me it's important for you to get up there

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable]IT: Glowy Patterning thing? IT: I'm sorry, I didn't notice in all with, well. IT: Why not count shall we? IT: First of all, my Dog is dead. IT: Second what's left of my Dog is some weird southern belle dragon thing that God knows where on earth it is now. IT: My Brother is who knows where doing who know what!?!? IT: And you, you... IT: Nevermind... IT" I'm sorry for snapping on you.

MP: oh no..no..it's alright
MP: you don't have to apologize for anything mila..
MP: ...perhaps we should..take a breather before continuing on..?

==> Tory: Berate self

Oh yeah, smooth move there guy. Way to comfort a girl eh? Geez, what do you even say to someone in a situation like this anyway? You can tell her you've seen her brother a couple of times before...couple as in four or five times before he found a way out for himself, probably. It would explain the slightly askew book shelf blocking the window. But why would anyone want to go out there when it's already such a mess just staying in the house?

[MILA YOSHIDA]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable]IT: Uh, uh. IT: Ok. ==> Breather You take a deep breath in, then it happens. You can't control it, but it happens. You fall to your knees, and have one of those horrible ugly crys that you can't stop. All you can do is let the water works flow, you realize Tory is watching you and you run off into your bathroom and lock the door ashamed and embarrassed at the fool you've made of yourself. And this only adds to the crying making it all worse, so you sit there and cry.

MP: oh no...

==>
Oh gog, jegus no. Thiis...definitely wasn't what you were hoping for to happen. But what were you expecting anyway? And what are you suppose to do right now? You can't possibly click and drag a towel or tissue box for her right? I mean, bringing the toilet where she's in at the moment into view can't possibly be the most polite thing to do either.

==> Tory : Wait.
Suppose that's the only logical thing to do now. Besides getting rid of more imps. But they're all cleared out for some strange reason.

Actually...maybe leaving a box of tissues outside of the bathroom door doesn't seem like such a bad idea...yeah. You do just that. And then you wait.

[MILA YOSHIDA]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable] ==> Reminisce You sit there head against the bathroom door slowly sobbing, your DS is beeping. Probably just that ass hole Tory trying to apologize for being such a fuck face. Wow Sveiro's really rubbing off on you with that whole curing thing. You sit there silentley sobbing not knowing where even to go. Well, you figure that can only mean one thing. An inspirational inner song that will help you get a new found hope in the boy, On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone I walk with him till morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love him But when the night is over He is gone The river's just a river Without him The world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love him But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me His world would go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known I love him I love him I love him But only on my own

[/url]

==> Continue with the sappy reminiscing

That didn't help you at all, now your only crying harder. And you realized your probably never going to stop loving him and he will never love you because he finds you so repulsive and horrible. You open up your DS to a Pesterlog you've had on file ever since you first had it, it was your first pester on Pesterchum and the first person you chatted with, Tory. It was only in that short period of time that you had grown to love the silly boy who uploaded the picture of him in a frock. And it made you smile to see his shining teal text every time his chumhandle would pop up. You chuck your ds at the wall and it smashes to bits.

==> Check.
She's really taking a long time in there. Not that you're in a hurry or in a rush or anything. You're just really, really honest to gog worried that she might do something stupid. Like...well, your tendency to jump to the worst case scenario definitely doesn't help in this case. Well, a quick peek can't possibly hurt, just to check if she's still just crying and not doing anything...well, anything that might put a fatal risk to her health. Just as the bathroom was brought into view on your screen, you see a pink, DS-shaped object fly across the screen, smashing to pieces on the opposite wall.

==>
Well...that's just great.

((OMG I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPEN/HOW TO CHANGE THE CODING OTL))

[MILA YOSHIDA]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable] ==> Swallow your tears and keep on trucking. You clean yourself up a bit in the bathroom, and then head out to your computer. IT: I'm sorry about that. IT: I think my Brother has a laptop is his room somewhere. IT: Do you think you could grab it for me? IT: Today is just not my day. ==> Search for Rouge Sprite Where on earth is Fluffysprite, last you recall he dashed off somewhere in search of Dog food. He'd be a good peice of Wisdom now. You suddenly hear a rapping on the door, well speak of the devil. FLUFFYSPRITE: MIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLAAAA FLUFFYSPRITE: MILLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FLUFFYSPRITE: WOOOOOOOOOOOOFF FLUFFYSPRITE: BARRRRRRRRRRRRK FLUFFYSPRITE: Let me in mila. U｡･ｪ･｡U

[TORY WOLFFE]

MP: oh no, please..don't apologize
MP: and sure..

==> Retrieve Laptop

You zoomed out of Mila's room and while on the way to the brother's room, opened the door to let Mila's sprite enter. You quickly locate the laptop and brought it back to Mila's room. Catching no sight of her brother anywhere in the house. He might have found a way out, since it would definitely explain the slightly askew bookcase blocking one of the windows that prevents the imps from entering. Though with things as they are, you wouldn't know why anyone would want to go out. It was odd seeing as to how there weren't any more imps entering the house. Even if a window was wide open. Anyway, you placed the laptop on Mila's desk and also (inconspicuously) placed a tissue box next to her, just in case.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable] ==> Give Up Hope. It's not something done so easily, you know that you'll never get his love. Though you figure that perhaps closure might be the best step in a good direction. ==> Log into laptop IT: Hey Tory. IT: I, uh, was wondering. IT: In all honesty, I believe the only way to maintain our, er, friendship. IT: And frankly make it through this game. IT: Would be if we had a bit more closure on the issue at hand. IT: Is there a reason you don't like me? IT: Do you like, someone else? IT: I'm not trying to be a jerk. IT: But you said it's not a "no" in our last conversation. IT: And I would like a straight answer. IT: I'm not going to waste another breath on this topic if I am going to remain unrequited. ==> Investigate Sprite You don't have much time for such nonsense! You quickly hush your sprite from whatever he was rambling on about.

[TORY WOLFFE]

==>

There really is no way out of this anymore. And you honestly didn't like the tension between you and Mila since the last time...well, before she entered the game, the last time you had that three way pester with Sviero. That honestly did not go well at all. And you don't know whether or not your friendship could actually be as what it used to be, even if the matter is brought to a close. But you might as well get it over and done with. There's no point in giving her false hope and you really had absolutely no intentions of hurting her before, or for any longer.

MP: ....
MP: i suppose you're right..
MP no, not suppose, you are right..
MP and i guess we should really just bring this matter to a..um..close..
MP: mila..you really are a great friend
MP: and i had absolutely no intentions of hurting you..
MP: before and after that last chat...
MP: the one with sviero..
MP: but i guess...what i'm meaning to say is..
MP: i like you mila, but...really only as a friend..
MP: and yes..there is someone else i like...
MP: i know..and understand that you're not being a jerk
MP: and i'm really sorry for giving you false..um..hope, for not giving you a straight answer then..

==> Tory: Sigh of ??

Relief? Sadness? Exhaustion at being emotionally drained from all relationshippy nonsense? Who knows. All you know is that from here on out, everything's probably going to be alot different between you and Mila. Whether it turns out for the better or worst, is for you to find out. Hopefully the tension would be lifted a little after this. Though you have a feeling that despite everything that might go smoothly, it's not going to be a very fun experience to go through.

[MILA YOSHIDA]

==> MILA: Sigh

It's sad to have love unreturned, but this is the first step in the recovery process and hopefully what will recover your friendship with Tory. You pray it get's salvaged Tory is a sweet guy and it'd be great to have a friend like him. You let out a sigh one more time then move forward in life maybe a bit stronger as Kelly Clarkson says.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, width: 450px; background:Black ; border: 1px dashed Pink, bTable]IT: Ok. IT: Well, ok. IT: Let's move on. IT: Hopefully for the better. IT: I should have known anyways, though if perchance. IT: The person is Pete, I have a good feeling he likes you as well. IT: I got that vibe when chatting with him earlier. IT: Ok so let's get moving.

[TORY WOLFFE]

==> Tory Moving On

That was frigging exhausting. Mentally that is. And you're sure Mila isn't doing any better either. But at least the matter's finally been put to rest, at least you hope so. And though now isn't exactly the time, you feel kinda happy at the thought of Pete actually liking you back. BUT all this emotional things aside, you got a game to get Mila through, and you sure as heck am not going to just stop here.

MP: alright
MP: i sure hope so too..
MP: that things turn out for the better
MP: anyway..
MP: i was beginnning to try building up to the glowing spiral gate thing about your house
MP: and from the walkthrough, it would seem you might be able to alchemize better weapons with the alchemiter..
MP: you might want to do that before venturing up
MP: because the monsters...imps, are just going to get bigger and stronger..

==> HEAD UP TO ATIC

You manage to beat off a few imps on your way to the attic, hopefully you can get this over with soon enough.

IT: Ok I'm here.

MP: alright..um...you should see this..piano-looking device at the far end of the attic...
MP: watch out for the other things lying around the floor too..
