HighEndNoob (Gaius/Gai) (IVDf VIPw IIIPc IIIWt)"I suppose so. She does have a point though. This quarter will be quite different."
Free of mother, head over to investigate the blazing light.
You assert yourself out the door once Mother heads off somewhere else inside the house and Rico goes to his room.
You start choking and your eyes begin to water. Raging flames cut off both ends of the hall from both sides, only meters away from where you stand. All possible escape routes are cut off.
And yet something strikes you as off. Rico just walked in from the hall...
In all your confusion, you happened to miss the creature at the end of the hall, covered in gleaming feathers. A total of IX heads on long, scaly necks meet into your gaze from the end of the hall, staring with deep-set eyes covered with milky-white translucent eyelids. A single clawed leg steps forward, digging into the stone flooring. Its feathered wings are folded up against its side, the crimson feathers blazing with fire to the same extent as the surrounding inferno.
Rather small for a mythological beast of legend, but it's certainly bigger than you.
Your attention becomes divided by a red-haired spellcaster on the other side of the hall, dressed in an ice-blue uniform. A flurry of glassy orbs float just inches past your head, exploding into a spray of water over the burning creature, then rapidly solidifying into a web of icicles.
"Been waitin' on you for a while," he shouts.
"Come along, before the nasty bugger gets out of that,"He reaches out his hand.
Ozarck (Di/Makiko) (4Df 3Pw 7Pc 2Wt)"Th-the yokai didn't belong to the other woman?"
"Yokai? That's a strange thing to call them. I guess you're the one?"The girl points her fist at Nagisa, and lets the rocket go. It whizzes across the room leaving behind a trail of sparks, and it explodes right in Nagisa's face, sending her flying into the wall. She crumples into a heap and drops her crossbow,
"Don't worry, she'll wake up as if nothing happened," she tells you, grinning warmly.
"Now, about this 'Yokai'..."Bloody Knife
-Sharp. Reroll up to two failed dice on your first throw.
Confused by the strange woman's musings, Nagisa lowered her weapon slightly, more bewildered than tensed though she still kept up most of her guard. Listening to Makiko muttering about something grinding against itself outside, Nagisa flinched when the woman materialized a small cylindrical object in her hand. Immediately sparks not unlike those of a lit fuse on a bombard erupted from its base.
Quickly leveling the crossbow at the woman's chest, Nagisa continued. "Mama del Cristo, what are you talking about? Recruit for what? First the two hitmen who's nearly killed me, then that woman and her strange contraption, and now you. Are all of this weirdness due to this 'modern world' or are you people the exception?"
Await the strange woman's answer
She looks at Makiko and responds to her--and then promptly launches the cylindrical object toward you by some means. It explodes in your face, and knocks you back against the wall. Your vision flashes, and then the next thing you know you are slumped against the wall, your crossbow on the floor.
You still have some sense in your arms and legs. Quite frankly, you're surprised you made it this far today, what with being shot once and now this.
You hear her say:
"Don't worry, she'll wake up as if nothing happened. Now, about this 'Yokai'..."(Hint: Magical attacks bypass normal defense. To block, you can allocate defense to an attack you are expecting.)

Inventory:
Backpack with a bunch of books
Umbrella
take the box and and metal object and put in my bag then explore the rooms there is looking for a snack and somewhere to clean up
(I have a feeling that my body did something illegal, killed himself then got me stuck with the clean up.)
(But in anime, your friends are always willing to take you in while you're hiding from the police!)
The box is
heavy! Much heavier than it looks. It also doesn't seem to fit well in your bag, not without making it huge and bulky. You find that you
can stuff it inside, although it looks extremely bulky and is bound to raise suspicion.
Inside the room you find a closet behind a mirror, the only hint being a small raised piece of mirror that acts as a handle. Inside there are uniforms, all of them clean, as well as other clothes. Some of them look like commoner's wear, while others look more professional.
First, looking to clean up, you find a room adorned with pearly stonework, which has another of those ceramic fonts that you saw in the large building from before. There is also a large tub with a similar faucet, presumably for bathing given the room. There's also a white chair with a thin lid over the top... you already have a vague idea of what it's for.
(You can choose another uniform or normal clothes.)Then, you explore the house and kitchen. There's a white crate inside the kitchen, and to your surprise an icy wind flows out of it when you open the door. Inside there are foodstuffs of all kinds in cold storage, ranging from thinly-sliced meats, to vegetables you've never seen before (and some that you have) and packages of long, brittle, bread-like sticks called "noodles." The instructions on the box say to put them in water for a minute.
Inside your pocket, a piece of glass vibrates in your pocket, displaying moving pictures, and a face you feel that you recognize. You remember the long, light-brown hair... it was that woman from the building before! She is apparently your mother, according to the mysterious device.
