is the end of the adventure just everybody fuckin

you gotta sign up for the patreon for that

There she is.

There is a very important step you must do before you start your little plan, and that is petting the cat.

After a short walk, and many pets, you arrive at the cafeteria. You push the door open, and as it slowly closes, you release Beth’s cat inside.

While she’s inside, Beth uses her psychic ‘cat’nection to get a picture of what’s inside.

It’s between lunch and dinner, so there’s not a lot of people there right now. The cat easily finds Joachim. He’s sitting in the middle, looking away from the entrance, as planned. Surprisingly, the person following him (maroon jacket, white hair) is simply seated two tables back, eating by himself and pretending to read a book. Also in the cafeteria are a few couples eating together, a group of nerds playing dice games, and some other people studying, although much less conspicuously. There’s also some bugs, which the cat is very interested in.

You decide to go talk to Joachim, so you can get any additional details about the guy before you sit down and talk with him.

Oh.

Alright! Now’s the perfect time for a chase!

Whoops

Welcome to the world’s first Slow Time Event!

You have 10 minutes to press ‘W,’ and save Klaus from an embarrassing fate.

With the success at the STE, you manage to catch yourself…

…and assume the position, ready to chase after your target!

You have 10 minutes to press ‘A,’ and get a good running start.

You jump ahead, and start running across the tops of the tables after the creep!

To jump across the tables, you must press ‘A’ rhythmically, and since this is a slow-time event, that rhythm is 10 minutes. I’m going to give you 30 minutes to press ‘A’ to start, but then 10, 20, and 30 minutes after that, you must press ‘A’ again. There’s more leniency than you’d get on a quick-time event on the rhythmic presses, but try to keep it within 30 seconds on either side.

(I promise this is the last one)

The stalker is approaching the exit door to the cafeteria! You’ve got to act fast!

You leap from table to table after him, when you finally reach the last one…

You might not be able to catch him before he gets out the door, but you’ll definitely be hot on his heels!

You’re close on his tail, but not close enough to catch him. Perhaps if you were to create some sort of illusion you could trick him into running the wrong way.

You probably didn’t trick him into thinking those are you.

However, you did manage to distract him…

…And Beth takes advantage of the situation!

Beth’s trick gives you enough time to run up and get close to the stalker and-

Now, that he doesn’t have his glasses to hide behind, let’s see who this really is…

Huh. No clue who this is.

Something’s off about this guy, is he a vampire at all? Only one way to check. Well, that’s not actually true, but there’s only one way for you since you don’t have a mirror or holy symbol on you.

I mean, they’re sharper than average, but those are definitely not vampire teeth.

He is pretty cute, you guess.

He doesn’t seem so bad, but you should ask him a few questions before letting him go…

After you pull him to his feet, he flinches away.

He doesn’t seem so bad, but if he thinks you should be beating him up for some reason, you wonder what he actually was doing…

Whatever he’s doing, you decide to hear him out before you decide if you should beat him up…

That sounds reasonable, and even like something you might want to help out with, except for the fact that Joachim doesn’t seem to recognize the guy.

Hmm.

He seems legit, but you figure you should do something just to make sure.

Good, you’re glad to see that he’s-

Wait, is he actually trying to use the oldest trick in the book?

You grab his wrist as you pivot to look at where he’s pointing, just to be safe.

And what’s he’s pointing at is…

How did these guys get in there without anyone noticing!? Anyone, such as Beth?

Oh.

You almost want to just throw Phil into battle with these guys, but perhaps you can make him throw himself into battle instead.

How are you guys going to do this?

You don’t have anything that’s specifically for fighting vampires, so you’re not quite sure what to do. If you could get some sunlight in here, that would certainly help, but there’s no windows in this room. Actually, the sun- it’s basically just a giant ball of plasma, right? What if you were to make your own?

It’s not as big as the sun, but it’s much, much closer, so hopefully this will do the trick.

It seems to have stopped the big guy in his tracks, although the little guy is still getting away.

You’ve got a couple ideas for tricks you could pull in this situation, but unfortunately with this amount of plasma, you can’t do any of them, so you simply bring it closer.

You can’t simply disperse this much plasma quickly and as you shrink the plasma ball the vampire would surely realize what was going on and hit you, and if you were to throw it, not only would the blast hurt you as much as it hurts the vampire, but it would cause damage to the cafeteria and you’d probably get sent to a prison tower for it. Granted, you’d probably be returned fairly quickly, once they realized-

wait a minute- Where are the security golems? They re-tuned them a few years ago because they were way too sensitive, but surely a fight breaking out in the cafeteria should get their attention.

But that’s of no matter to you right now, because you are 力武 美三方- that is, you are Miyako Mikata. You participated in the raid the other day, but your payment- which you should have automatically received on your phone by now- has not arrived, despite your friend who participated getting hers already. The person at the front desk directed you to the payment systems office, back where all the computer nerds work. But that’s weird- you just heard a loud thump from one of the rooms.

You notice a noise!

Ever since you got your super suit your body language has gotten much more extreme. It helps to show people how you feel, since they can’t see your face when you’re wearing it. Of course, you tend to look kind of silly when you’re not wearing it, but that’s a small price to pay. But that’s of no matter now- something is definitely going on in there. You move closer to listen.

It sounds like… something being dragged across a carpet. Then the sound of some light metal doors closing.

You crack open the door ever so slightly a take a peek through.

Hmm…

Looks relatively normal for one of these computer nerd offices, and- oops! It looks like he saw you, he gets up and scrambles towards the door.

Sure, OK, you’ll leave, but first- You ask him what the noise was.

So the noise was him dragging a computer across the carpet and putting it in the cabinet? That doesn’t seem right. You feel like you saw something when you were peeking in that makes that impossible.

But that can’t be right, there were cobwebs on that computer!

Did he just not see them or-

Ok, something’s definitely wrong here!

You must be sure that there’s something wrong here, because if you punch down a door to one of these offices for no reason, you’ll be in big trouble.

That being said, you attempt to punch through the door.

You’ve got a serious hunch something’s wrong here, so you don’t listen to the man when he tells you to stop.

Maybe now he’ll tell you what’s really going on…

Elizabeth?

Is that someone you should kn-

Oof!
