"Soooo..." I turn to Theresa. "You too?"
"Huh?" she lifts her head up from her pillow and faces me. "What do you mean, I don-"

And then she falls right back on her pillow and starts covering her face with her hands.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry," Theresa mumbles. "I started feeling woozy and you tried to catch me but you weren't able to hold me up because I'm getting fat and I ended up getting you hurt too..."

Huh? Fat?

It's true that Theresa's not super skinny anymore like she used to be, but I've seen her in gym class and she is most definitely not fat. I mean, I wish I had abs like that!

"It wasn't your fault," I shake my head. "And you're not fat, I just screwed up with my footing. That's all."
"But still," Theresa buries her face in her hands. "You tried to help me and ended up getting hurt yourself!" she groans. "Everything's been so weird ever since last night, I wish I never read that stupid thing!"

Wait. Her and Mina have pretty much the exact same tastes, so does that mean that she found that scam site and bought a copy of that book before it disappeared too?

If she did and what happened was that "synapse" thing that Irene was talking about, then that means-

"Hey Theresa, you ever heard of something called a 'Synapse'?" I ask.
"Huh?" she takes her hands off of her face. "What, like nerve connections in your brain?"
"That's not what I meant," I shake my head. "On the way to school, I had the exact same kind of fainting spell that you had and that's what the person who I was with told me that it was called."

I'll just leave out the part about using Irene's lap as a pillow.

"You too?" Theresa turns to me. "Ugh... I don't even know what's going on anymore," she sighs. "I got this book in that I ordered last night, and I can't remember anything that happened from the time I started reading it to when I woke up this morning, and I've had a really bad headache this entire time..."
"Umm, do your eyes hurt too?" I ask.
"No, thank God," she shakes her head. "I don't think I could handle eye pain on top of everything else."

>>32641893

>>32641893
Seriously. It should be easy to befriend her.

It's not even so much that as bringing back the book real quick and tell her that it works. That should be enough.

>>32642088
please tell me we at least unconciously got some peaches

>>32642162
Yes.
Assuming that's a metaphor.

"Actually," I begin, "Mina had some super expensive book sent to my house yesterday, and I read it when I got home."
"Wha-" Theresa stares at me. "Really?"
"Yeah, and when I read it the exact same kind of thing happened to me. I passed out while reading, and I've had headaches ever since I woke up."

Suddenly, Theresa looks really sad.

"Heh..." she closes her eyes. "Of course she found the same link... did she read it too?"
"No, only me," I shrug. "I told her that I was going to read it first as payback for not asking before having weird stuff like that shipped to my house, it's actually over there in my backpack," I say, pointing to the backpack that's leaning next to the bed that I'm sitting on.

"Aside from the headaches, has anything weird happened with you?" I ask. "I think there's something up with my eyes, and this girl-"

Arrange a date later to exchange information instead, when we have better time and had a chance to consider how/what to tell her. Also to get a date.

Theresa's still pretty shaken up, I should probably hold off on telling her about Irene.

"I'll talk to you about that later," I say.
"Umm... okay," Theresa nods.
"Oh yeah," I snap my fingers. "So that book's supposed to give you superpowers or something, right?"
"Yeah, that's what the site said before it was taken down," she replies. "Unlock the potential of the human mind and branch out into the unknown... I have no idea why I spent all that money on the stupid thing, " she sighs. "I tried reading it again when I woke up this morning since I couldn't remember anything from when I read it the first time, and it was all complete nonsense!"
"Huh?"

Come to think of it, I can't remember what was actually written in that thing myself. And I haven't so much as looked at the cover since I threw it in my backpack.

"Yeah," Theresa nods. "It was all, like... sentence fragments and weird diagrams and stuff, I couldn't make sense of it at all."
"...I see..."

This is starting to get kind of creepy. Well, creepier than it already was.

"So about what I asked before," I say, "have you noticed anything weird since you read it?"
"What, like developing those alleged superpowers?" Theresa asks. "No, nothing aside from headaches and fainting spells," she mumbles.

Great, no leads there.

"I came straight here after trying to read the stupid thing a second time, nothing really weird happened to me until I saw you," Theresa says.
"Oh," I nod.
"But if you want, I'll be sure to tell you if I find out that I'm able to pick stuff up with my mind or whatever, though."
"Heh, sure."

Well at least she's feeling more or less normal, that's definitely a relief. So much for those superpowers that Irene was talking about...

We can't see Mina before this anyway. Ask how she got interested in the book in the first place!

>>32643573
American History

>>32643549

Go find Mina, we should really give her the book.

Stick around with Theresa, American History sucks if you don't have a good teacher.

>>32643602
>>stick around with Theresa until the end of first period

>>32643605
Presumably Mina will be in class throughout first period though.

>>32643683
but it's amazing if you have a good teacher. i was lucky, my teacher was retiring at the end of the year anyway so he didn't bother being politically correct or anything. fucker brought a musket to class and passed it around

>>32643675
Almost certainly not, though it would be pretty cool if Kevin was Ed Norton

>>32643722
Oh, I know. I had an amazing teacher, for the second year of American History. I know two people who have decided to become teachers specifically because of him, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more.

>>32643605
I bet when she reads it it'll just be nonsense like Theresa was talking about. Probably a one off deal.

Worth a shot though.

I once had a teacher who made a strategy game where we all played as different shoguns in Japan. We could even assassinate each other and shit.

Unfortunately, on the day that we were supposed to play it, I caught the flu and couldn't go to school. He never played it again, and he left the school the next year to go somewhere else.

>>32643811

If that were the case then they would probably not bother looking for the book. A book that gives one person powers isn't that dangerous. A book that gives anyone who reads it powers is crazy dangerous.

so can we list off our favorite teacher's regardless of class? mine was my college physics teacher. our final project was to build a catapult/trebuchet that could launch a basket ball 15 meters using nothing but weights. i never got to see how far mine went since it was deemed to dangerous. most people were using two by fours or fence boards, i used a telephone pole and I beams

>>32643952
A book that gives anyone who reads it powers needs to be uploaded to 4chan. we might finally be able to make /x/ good again

>>32644074
how much cash do we still have? if there's enough we should hit up the library copy machine and make a double, then give that to the girl that bought it to see if it gives her powers, then if it doesn't give her the real one to see if that still works even though it's been used on us

...well, it's not like I really -want- to go to class, and it's already half over as it is... not to mention that I'd feel kind of bad just leaving Theresa here by herself.

Yeah, I'll stick around until the end of first period at least.

"So how'd you even find out about the book to start with?" I ask. "Mina said that the site vanished like right after she placed her order, so it couldn't have been around for very long."
"I was hanging around in an IRC room for a game that I pay online, and someone popped on with that link," Theresa says. "I checked it out and it looked interesting so I placed an order... but then like you said, it vanished right after I got the shipping notice," she shrugs.
"Huh."
"...though if Mina saw the link too, I guess that means that the two of us have been hanging out in the same room all this time," she says with a bitter smile.

I'm really starting to get curious about what happened to cause them to have such a bad falling out, but that would probably only serve to make her more depressed about it.

Umm, I should probably try to change the subject. Yeah.

"Is your head feeling better?" I ask.
"It's only a dull pain now, so I guess..." Theresa sighs. "Sorry for dragging you into this and making you miss class, Cecile."
"You wouldn't have fainted if I hadn't tried to say hi to begin with, so it's technically my own fault," I reply, waving my hands dismissively. "And I got a legitimate excuse to miss that boring BORING class, so don't beat yourself up over it."
"If you say so..."

Me and Theresa spend the rest of first period talking about class and catching up, I do my best not to bring up anything that would upset her. Time flies by pretty quickly, and before I know it, the bell signifying the end of the period rings...

"I guess we should get to class now," Theresa says as she hops off the bed and picks up her backpack.
"I suppose so," I shrug. "You sure you're gonna be alright? You're not feeling lightheaded, are you?"
"Yeah, I'm more or less fine now," she shakes her head. "I can't be sure what'll happen if that Synapse thing happens again, but I think I'll be okay by myself for now."
"If you say so."

We have different classes now, so I guess this is where we part ways.

"See you later," I say to Theresa as we leave the nurse's office and move into the hallway.
"Yeah, I guess," Theresa mumbles. "A- and, umm... sorry again for making you hit your head."
"Seriously, quit worrying about that, it's not like I'm mad."

Waving goodbye, I head in the opposite direction from Theresa's next class...

...but before I can get very far, a certain someone practically charges into me..

"Cecile!" Mina shouts, grabbing me by both hands. "I heard that you fainted, are you okay!? You didn't get a concussion, did you!?"

Great, now I have her all worried about me.

...nothing good can come from telling her the specifics of what just happened, so I won't.

"I'm fine," I say, shaking my head. "No concussions or anything like that, just a headache."
"Really?" Mina leans in closer.
"Uh, what are you doing?"
"Stay still for a second," she says as she peers into my eyes. "Just to make sure, I'm gonna check your eyes to see if-"

...she stopped mid-sentence. That's not a good reaction.

"Is there something wrong with my eyes" I ask.
"...Cecile?" Mina asks as she slowly eases her way out of my personal bubble. "Are you wearing contacts?"
"Contacts?" I blink a few times. "I'm clearly wearing glasses, why the heck would I do that and wear contacts at the same time?"
"Well that's the only reason I can think of that your eyes would be a different color from how they always are!"

So it's not just that my eyes make flowers look weird, now they're a different color too?

"So, uh... what color are they?" I ask. "They didn't turn something creepy like blood red or anything, I hope."
"No," she shakes her head. "They're like... golden or something. It's weird."
"Huh," I shrug. "That's new, I guess."

Then I put my glasses back on.

"Enough about my eyes though, let's get to class already," I say.

During lunch or something when we can be more careful about her reading it. Don't want her passing out in the middle of class or something while reading a freaky book that can give super powers to people.

>>32646570

She reads it, passes out, we offer to take her to the nurse or something, get out of another class, and then we can call Irene over to explain shit.

And assuming she doesn't sleep half a day we'll have to avoid eye contact for a while. Unless her detection range is greater than direct eye contact from the start.

>>32646895
She wakes up from her 12 hour nap, we do the eye thing, pass out for 30 minutes and get it over with.

Since it doesn't seem to happen again at least.

>>32646929
True enough, I was thinking along the lines of explaining what the hell happened and then making her sleep again.

Knocking her out is a good way to demonstrate that something is different and we're not lying about supernatural powers.

>>32646531
But Shiki was only able to deal with her eyes because of Nasu-bullshit. Without that, she'd have gone insane. Hell, she tried to put her eyes out before Touko showed up.

Once we make it to the classroom, I'm forced to waste a few minutes apologizing to the teacher for being absent yesterday before I'm able to head to my seat.

And as always, I'm sit next to Mina.

"Oh yeah," I say, reaching into my backpack. "Your stupid book came in yesterday."
"Ooh, really!?" Mina says, a big happy grin on her face. "And you actually brought it right to me... you really are the best bestie!"
"Whatever you say," I reply as I drop the heavy thing onto her desk with a loud thud.

I have half a mind to start yelling at her about all the trouble that this stupid thing's caused, but now isn't the time.

"Just... don't read it right now, okay?" I ask.
"And end up getting it confiscated?" Mina scoffs. "I paid waaaaaaay too much money to risk that."

I breathe a sigh of relief as Mina takes her prize and places it in her backpack just in time for class to start.

Next up is the long-awaited LUNCH PERIOD!

As per the usual, me and Mina make our way to the library and sit down at the corner table closest to the window. And now for food...

"Did you actually bring something for lunch today, or were you just hoping to mooch off of me again?" Mina asks.
"I'll have you know," I say as I reach into the outer portion of my backpack, "that I went through the trouble of getting a chicken biscuit from-"

And then I pull it out.

And I see what I just pulled out.

"...uh, that doesn't look edible," Mina says, doing her est not to laugh at the sad sad SAD sight that is in my hands.

My poor chicken biscuit, it was smashed to bits inside its wrapper.

This was a bad idea, it's all I can do to force the thing down. Even though it didn't taste bad at all, trying to swallow an entire balled-up mass at once is a real struggle.

"Dammit..." Mina sighs. "Here, you can have this too," she says as she hands me half of her sandwich.
"You are too kind to meeee!"

Ah, presentation really doea make a difference!

"Huh?"
"You fainted at before school started and your eyes are a different color... don't you think that's something to worry about?"

She's going to read it even if we don't tell her, so she may as well know as much as we do about what she's getting into.
That's assuming that the book works for her, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it.

>>32648906

She'll find out eventually.

>>32648906
yes

Seriously? To what end? She already has the book and will read it within the day. There is no reason to withhold information other than being a dick.

>>32648906
>"Good news is: The book is genuine. Bad news: It's dangerous and there is already an organization in town searching for it."

>>32648906
Yes, but don't let her read it until after school. It apparently entails some weird-ass shit and serious business if you read it, so time to think about the choice between making flowers look weird and staying away from a dangerous shadow world full of ruthless people will be valuable.

This isn't just jokesy creepypasta shit.

>>32648906
Yes, we have to since we gave it to her

"The book gave me magic powers. So far they consist of seeing things wrong, getting headaches and fainting around other people with magic powers, and maybe changing my eye color. Oh, and Theresa bought the book, too."

Guy, I found our cape symbol.

I hate being put on the spot like this.

But I -did- kind of hand the book over to Mina, and she should at least know what she's getting into if she actually decides to read it. I sure as hell wish that I had a heads-up before I was thrown into the world of headaches fainting spells...

"Well," I sigh, "my eyes and the fainting spells and all that were because of the book that you bought."
"What?" Mina stares at me.
"I read it. Last night. And I ended up blacking out until early this morning. I woke up with a really bad headache, and my yes were hurting pretty bad too for a while there... I guess they changed color too."

Mina's staring at me like I just went nuts. I can't really blame her.

"...you're just messing with me, right?" Mina says, laughing nervously. "You're still pissed that I had it sent to your house without asking first, and now you're trying to make me look stupid."
"I'm the one who looks retarded here saying all this stuff," I roll my eyes, "why would I be making it up?"

>[1/?]

>>32649295
>[2/2]

Yes I like playing pranks on her sometimes, but I'd never go THIS far just for a cheap laugh.

"Anyways..." I mumble, "assuming that you decide to read it at all, save it until after you get home. I blacked out for like fourteen hours after I started reading it, and I really don't think you want that to happen to you here in school."
"Rearranging the pathways to foster a new consciousness..." Mina closes her eyes. "It's just like the site said..."

Mina's my best friend, it wouldn't be right to not tell her everything.

"On the way to school today," I begin, "I ran into a girl... well, she actually saved me from getting mauled by some huge monster dog, but umm..."
"Wha!?" Mina gasps. "You were attacked by a- you didn't get bit, did you!?"
"No," I shake my head. "Like I said, this girl saved me before things got really bad... and when she was helping me up, I looked into her eyes and got a horrible headache that was so bad it made me faint."
"And this -before- you fainted here at school?" she asks.
"That was actually because I-" I sigh. "I'll get to that later, but yeah it was before that."

Great, now she's looking at me like I'm some kind of invalid.

"Her name's Irene," I say, "and she told me that my fainting spell was something called a 'Synapse.' It happens when two people with psychic power or whatever meet," I shrug.
"What, so she read the book too?" Mina asks.
"No, she said something about getting her powers from someone called a 'Gardener,'" I shake my head. "Anyways, she answered some questions that I had and explained that she was sent here to find out who had that book right there..."
"You didn't tell her that you had it, right?" Mina whispers.

She looks REALLY scared right now.

"No, I didn't think it would be right to give away something that you paid so much money for," I say, shaking my head. "But she gave me her number and told me to call if I had any questions about powers or I guess if I found the book, and-"
"No," Mina looks at me with a deadly serious expression on her face. "You said that she was 'sent' by someone to find the book, what if that's connected to why the site that I got it from disappeared!?"
"Uh..."

To be honest, that thought hadn't crossed my mind at all.

"Don't call her, don't talk to her, play dumb if she asks yo any questions," Mina says. "This is probably some MIB shit, secret underground psychic wars or something!"

>writing

Mina does sound kind of crazy right now, but I guess she does kind of have a point. Better safe than sorry.

"I guess you are right in that I shouldn't completely trust her just yet," I say, "but she -is- pretty much the only person I've met so far who actually knows about this stuff. I dunno if it's a smart move to just completely cut her off, you know?"
"Yeah, that does make sense," Mina sighs. "Just... don't tell her anything important if you do end up calling her, okay? And whatever you do, don't mention that you've ever had anything to do with the book. Who knows what'll happen if she finds out that you're connected to it."
"Sure thing," I nod.

Wow, Mina's surprisingly on top of this.

...and then I realize that she's probably been dreaming of a situation like this since she was a little girl.

"I'm in posession of a dangerous artifact that a secret organization is searching for..." Mina says, bowing her head.

Yup, she's definitely enjoying this.

>[1/?]

>>32649897

"So... what kind of powers did the book give you?" Mina asks. "Telepathy? Telekinesis? Pyrokinesis!?"

She's getting really excited.

"Nothing like that," I shake my head. "The only thing that's happened so far is that my eyes changed color and I can see weird markings on flowers and stuff," I shrug.
"That's all?" Mina asks with a REALLY disappointed look on her face.
"Yeah, but Irene said that my powers or whatever might still be developing or something..."
"Hm." she nods. "We're gonna need to do some experiments with that..."

I don't like the way that sounds AT ALL.

>[2/4]

>>32650023

"Umm, one more thing," I say.
"Hm?" Mina snaps out of la-la land and turns to me.
"When I came to school this morning, I ran into Theresa... and we had that Synapse thing."
"...what."

She does NOT look happy right now.

"Umm, yeah," I nod. "It turns out that she bought a copy of the book too, and read it just like I did."
"Theresa? fucking THERESA!?" Mina shouts, and is immediately shushed by the librarian.

I forgot where we were for a minute there.

"D... dammit," Mina growls, "why the hell did SHE have to get involved with this, of all people..."
"C'mon, it's not that bad," I pat her on the back.
"Did you tell her what you told me?" she asks.
"I told her that I read the book, and that you were the one who bought it," I reply. "That's all."
"Dammit..." she mumbles.


>[3/4]

>>32650051
Maybe ask her about what happened between them?

>>32650051
Okay, we need to settle their differences sooner rather than later, I have a bad feeling that things are going to get much worse with Mina constantly at Theresa's throat.

>>32650051
>>32650078
We kinda gotta know at this point.

>>32650051
>[4/4]

As expected, the revelation that Theresa's involved in all this too puts Mina into a crappy mood for the rest of our lunch period. I try to take her mind off it by doing my best to explain all the stuff that Irene told me... she's still kind of mad, but at least her mood's improved a little bit.

"I'm gonna be busy after school today," Mina says as we're leaving the library, "but tomorrow's Saturday and I'm don't have any plans... you wanna hang out and maybe figure out what exactly your 'Branch' or whatever is?"

"Alright," I shrug. "that could be fun."
"Great!" Mina replies with a beaming smile. "First we're gonna figure out what exactly you can do, and then you can train, and..."
"Don't get ahead of yourself," I cut her off. "For all we know, I could end up with something completely lame like only being able to change my eye color, you never know."
"I guess you have a point there..." she mumbles. "But still, I'm sure you'll be able to do something awesome! Like maybe you eye color changed because you're gonna be able to hypnotise people by looking them in the eye just like Le-"
"MINA."
"Sorry..."

I really hope I don't wind up with hypnosis, that would just make my entire life really awkward.

The rest of the school day goes by pretty peacefully... aside from Mina giving Theresa the evil eye every few minutes during math. But luckily, there aren't any fights or anything.

And my head only started hurting a little bit when I saw Theresa again, so I guess that Synapse thing is calming down too. It would really suck to have super death-migraines every time I passed her in the halls, after all.

"Thia is goodbye for today," Mina says as the two of us make our way to the front of the school. "Just give me a call before you come over tomorrow so I can make sure that I'm dressed and all that."
"No problem," I reply. "See you then!"
"Bye!"

As Mina hurries out of the building and down the sidewalk, I think about my own plans for the rest of the day...

Cecile's branch isn't "tree of Knowldge," that was just a turn of phrase that Irene used in reference to Something.

I did the family tree for PGQ and thought it would be easier to just do it progressively than have to dig in the archive to find how everyone is related and stuff.

Note that I only did the first two charts in FDQ and now someone else seems to have taken over.

Not at all, since the desire for matriarchy isn't inherently violent and has been expressed in many historical subcultures.
They may be somewhat misguided in many cases, since egalitarianism is probably best, but it's definitely not a recipe for violence.

And there the headache is again. Weird.

But anyways, that means that Theresa must be somewhere ne-

You know, honestly, why is this a problem? Just stare at them. Put on your best yandere lust stare and watch in silence. Probably a very decent way to handle 'sibling rivalry.'

>>32651057
Because it would be really awkward and our MC is apparently not quite at the point of maturity where the concept of family members having sex drives is tolerable.

"Maybe we could talk at your house?" I ask. "My sister had a guy over when I left this morning, and I'd like to maybe check to see if the book you read is the same as the one that Mina got."
"M... my house?" Theresa staggers back.

C'mon, don't faint again!

"S... sure," Theresa nods. "My Mom's still gonna be at work when we get there and our fridge is totally empty right now but if you really want..."
"Better than my place," I shrug.
"Alright then..."

And so, the two of us make our way to Theresa's house. It's a bit smaller than my place, but her mother really does a nice job taking care of the it so the difference in size doesn't seem all that important.

Not to say that my house is unkempt or anything, of course.

i also happen to have a preference towards French names.

From Old English furþor, from Proto-Germanic *furþera, from Proto-Indo-European *per- (a common preposition). *per- means to go forth, go forwards.

Technically that's probably a flavor of submissive, like petplay for servant obedience.

Like if you kneel with a straight back, palms up on your thighs, chin up eyes down to show willingness and surrender.

"Here we are," Theresa says as she opens the door to her room. It's decorated with posters here and there, with a shelf filled with comics and another with figures... there's also what looks like some kind of sports trophy on her desk that has a jacket thrown over it, but I don't think I should really say anything about that.

"Umm, it's not much different from the last time you were here, huh," Theresa says, fidgeting.
"Yeah, it's mostly the same," I reply.

I haven't been here in what, two years?

Definitely what she masturbates with.

Ask about the trophy. Maybe run your fingers slowly on it and comment on smooth shine.

>>32651311
> Explore the room
Well, we'll just have to see about that Theresa!

No hurry with the book.

We've played this game before. We know where the players stand. Alea iacta est.

No? Alright, how about

Straight to the point!

You could always seriously recommend it. If you wanted. It's not like this isn't /tg/ or anything.

>>32651406
Nah, we gotta take it a little slow. Explore the room, show interest in her, find out what her and Mina's deal is. THEN come the moves.

>>32651414
Better involve fetishes. Do we know what her kinks are?

Do we know what our OWN fetishes are? I mean, we should know. Is it trophies? Oh that would be good. Baseball and basketball trophies. Maybe lacrosse.

And eye contact. Always a likely good one.

>>32651330
Who the fuck masturbates with a trophy? Besides, it might be the kinda trophy entirely unsuited to it in the first place (like my high-school soccer trophies that are in the shape of soccer players).

>>32651441
Relevant fetishes are scheduling dates, chaste kissing and hand-holding. Eye-gazing can be allowed.

Someone linked this thread to QTG didn't they.

>>32651446
Well sometimes, while you're GMing, you ask girls what they masturbate with.
>Chess trophies.

And then sometimes you have a soda bottle and a bedpost in close proximity.
>Filthy.

I -really- want to keep going, but my eyes are starting to burn and that's generally a sign that I need to get some sleep.
Today's thread was fun, and I was honestly pretty surprised by some of the choices that you guys have made so far but in a good way
I'll be running Princess Guard on Sunday night, and False Dendrite will return on Monday night.
I have some last-minute errands to take cafe of right now, so I'll be awake for maybe ten minutes. If you had any questions, now's the time to ask.


And thanks for playing!

Alright, thanks for running!
Your sessions are pretty lengthy anyway.
Of course, I miss most of them since you start early morning and run til early afternoon my time, but hey.

>>32651473
You're never going to finish PGQ are you

A few threads ago you said you could have ended it there, might have been better if you just had

>>32651473

Cheers.

Anything in particular you hope to do better/different than PGQ?

>>32651488
The only allowed fetishes are the chaste/cute ones.

>>32651493
You don't like it?
