But maybe, just in case, you should ask Mami what she knows about the fey next time you have a chance. You know, just in the small chance that those old stories did have something to do with it.

Probable hint

[X] Go home, talk with Mami. Ask her some of those newly urgent questions. And maybe you can go do something else afterwards if that doesn't take to long...
- - Why is magic a not public?
- - How was she bound?
- - How can we figure out if someone else is "in" on magic? How can we detect it? how obvious is our use of it and are there any ways to get a warning that something is happening/ get time to set up a defence?
- - Ask about the missing students, what might of done this and what can we do about it.

Mami will still be here when we need here. Striking the iron while it's hot with those rumours...

[X] Study hall Times. Then go do one of the other options after that. (Say which one)
[X] The Music club is setting up in the commons again. Maybe you should go interact with your peers, listen to nice music, and maybe learn some more details of the missing persons case? You could probably hit up Miss Minori for some interesting details...

- - generic magic society info
- - How was she bound?
- - If magic was real, why is it not public knowledge? Why is everything kept secret from the public? (science and tech are obviously used because they work without magic(probably) so the real question is why magic is kept a secret)
- - what is the REAL limitation of magic? What can it do, what can it NOT do?
- - how can we figure out if someone else is "in" on magic?
- - Ask about the missing students, what might of done this and what can we do about it.
- - Ask about Fey.

We've really put this question session off for too long and doing even more without information is just crazy.

Yes she will be, but we won't if we get surprised by some mind control magic that we could of known was coming/possible if we did the question and answer session,
Edit: among other possible ways that a lack of info could be bad (e.g. its a secret because if you don't keep it secret Eldritch Abominations/ a Holy order of badass paladins / time cops/ everybody else comes and kills you)

And if we go to Mami first, we may be missing an important event. Let's continue on our roll, both choices are risky in their own ways.

Well, off to study hall it seems, your math could use some review anyway. And so could your history. To be precise, you think you might write up an 'extra credit' history report on the legends of this school.. and the lands that used to be here.

And what legends there were indeed! This was a pretty haunted place, long ago. Ghosts and demons and fairies oh my. Horrible tree spirits that hunted the living, oni that devoured those who were unlucky enough to be seen, Fox wives and snow maidens...

And of course, the fey who carried off those who heard them into the underhill, where if lucky they'd be released by the dawn. Otherwise.. well, Rip Van Winkle time, it seems. Barring a few times when heroes ventured forth to bring back loved ones and such, or when a mighty mage forced them at cursepoint to go away. That was when the fairy rings got blocked off, by the legends say. And then they didn't bother anyone again. Unlike the oni and such.

...
Huh. The legends don't really say why the Oni stopped raiding, the yuki ona stopped showing up, and Kitsune stopped annoying people. Reports just kinda.. pettered out about two hundred years ago. The most recent legend you can find was when a Tengu challenged the local temple to a race for some un-named prize. About one hundred and fifty years ago, and nothing before that for a good ten years.

Still, who knows how useful memorizing some of those legends might turn out to be? Your glad you made the time to do this.

Now on to the party! Or at least on to the good music.

----Party!----

Huh. New horn player. She's ok, but not as good as the last one. Still decent over all, even if they keep remaking old westerns as rock and roll songs. The music makes a nice back ground as you listen to the gossip. Seems the missing count has risen.. or at least more people have been confirmed missing to the rumor mills. 14 people in all now.. Not a good sign.

And.. is that Miss Minori crying over there? Sure, you don't like her that much, but... Well, you don't dislike her enough to want to see her like that. Right, time to bring her a drink and ask what's wrong.

....

Alright, you now have a crying Minori attached to your front. It seems that her sister, Kojoro, is one of the people who went missing. She was helping look for the vanished students.... and then didn't come back when evening fell.

You pat her on the back and try to make reassuring noises.

But, um..

Well time to go acquire some creatures for our blank card.

Pipeman · Mar 18, 2013

In hindsight this stuff should be kind of obvious but Happerry did say a few things in the chat yesterday, that I, for some reason, didn't think of myself.
Mainly standard fey stuff, like exact words, be polite and don't eat or drink anything, but also that we have an anti mental attacks card.
Now, if we only knew how using it works.
Felt this was worth sharing.

Oh and one last thing.
Carding someone almost dead saves their life, because when cards die they only get unsummoned for a while.

Well finding that out IC just became very useful.
The card immortality part seems rather useful if we have to save someone.

Luckily, none of this is so outlandish, that it would be considered blatant metagaming to make use of it IC.

Sorcery: Dimension Key
An instant type Sorcery Card that allows access to sealed areas of closed space.

Thought this might be useful as well, when we need to enter the fey lair.
You guys might also want to check on our stat and inventory sheet in general.
Has some useful information about how using cards works and what the different card types mean.

"Shish.." You try to say calmly as you pat her on the back gingerly. Normally you'd be far happier about having an attractive girl plastered to your front, but...

"It'll be ok." You tell Minori. "I'm sure Kojoro will turn up soon.. You know how big the forest is, she probably just lost track of time and then got lost."

"She had a radio with her.." Minori admits. "And.. it's not being answered.... She's not the only one.. there's another three searchers that didn't.." She cries more into your jacket. Damnit, that didn't work. Um. Hum.

"..Well, I'll find her then." You decide. "What?" She interjects startledly. "What what? I hate seeing sad girls, this is making you sad, therefor I will find her and you can go back to yelling at me like normal." You state, with utmost confidence in your perfect logic.

..Hum. She doesn't seem as impressed by it as you are. She then shows this by explaining exactly why you're an idiot if you think that one schoolboy can do something the entire staff can do and anyway her sister is much better at taking care of herself and woodland lore then you are and if you're going to go out there where students have been told not to she'll be blamed and..

Well, that worked perfectly! Sadness into Indignation Transmutation Effort Complete!

Now you only need to escape her.. "Anyway, you want this drink or not?" You interject in one of the rare pauses when her lungs demand more air. "I need to go get a refill for my own. Be back later!"

And then off you dash before she can figure out what you just said!

..So. Time to go forest hunting. It's only a few moments to slip out from the party and to a section of the wood fence that some enterprising soul took a pair of chaincutters to a while ago, leaving a slit you can slip through if you are flexible. And know where it is of course.

But perhaps before you go out there, you should go back to your room and pick up a few items? Compass, flashlight, that sort of thing? It'll probably take an extra half hour though...

And what is your plan anyway? Maybe you should ask Mami for advice.. or just how good she'd do in combat if it turned out to be like that. At least you have your cards on you...

Honestly, you aren't really sure where they are when you aren't holding them. They just seem to turn up... It feels like their is some sort of limit to that though, now that you think of it.

[ ] Supply Run? Yes No?
[ ] Plan?
