[ Once you enter the train, it takes off...moving for only a few moments before coming to a stop in the midst of the void Delriza's realm floats in.

There's still no sign of the echo herself, but fortunately it's at this point that the rules of the game burn themselves into your mind, like you always knew what you were supposed to be coming here for. ]

WELCOME TO GIRLFRIEND SAVING SIMULATOR 2014.

In this game, you will attempt to save your girlfriend. A scenario will be presented to you each round, and you will discuss among yourselves and try to present a solution that you as a team believe will result in your girlfriend not dying. You are allowed to use anything described in the scenario as well as any skills or powers you may possess as part of your solution. Once it is turned in, you will receive your result at the end of the round.

In addition, you have in your possession the MOON card and WHEEL OF FORTUNE card.

Playing the MOON card must be done at the beginning of the round, and will erase the current scenario and give you a new one. The WHEEL OF FORTUNE card must also be played at the beginning of the round, and will instantly result in a complete success for the round but cause one other random team to fail.

IN EVEN MORE ADDITION, each team begins with one fate point. At the end of each round, you must, along with turning in your solution, choose a team or teams to send at least one fate point to (for example, you must always send one, but if you have more than that you do not have to send all of them. If you have three, you can keep one, send one to one team, and send one to another team). For each fate point a team has, the harder their scenario will be.

BUCKLE UP

You are a princess, and your most loyal knight will be accompanying you on a journey through the Rogue's Wood. You are travelling to the castle of an enemy while on a mission of peace. You are extremely confident that you will be safe, yourself, but that's only because you know she will absolutely sacrifice herself to ensure your survival.

You don't want that.

The rogues of the wood most often employ ranged weapons, and usually lay traps on the most traveled paths through the wood such as caltrops or bladed traps designed for crippling horses, or magical bombs designed to damage carriages beyond use, before firing on those who do not surrender from the trees and brush.

You are taking with you, aside from your knight, a decoy carriage with your court magician, who specializes in EXPLOSION MAGIC, a priestess, and five additional warriors.

...well, now I feel vaguely insulted.

Because of the Rogue thing?

Exactly! Making them sound so MEAN.

To be fair, rogues come in all flavors, just like any other group of people.

This bunch just happens to be assholes.

Truuuue.

[SIGHS.]

Ya know, this all seems like it'd be easier if we didn't have a whole carriage.

What, and go on foot instead?

But then we'd take longer to get through, right?

It worked with Violet.

We could fly.

That depends on whether the wizard can cast that kind of spell.

And what'll we do if arrows get shot at us? Ask him to magic up a shield as well?

Well, we already got the decoy carriage.

And I can fly and carry people.

How about ya, Hibiki, did ya get flying with your armor yet?

We can see about a shield spell or bring some with.

I can fly too, yeah.

You can carry maybe two, three people at the most, and we've got eleven to keep track of. And the decoy carriage won't distract them for long, if it does at all. This is their territory, and if they're worth their salt as rogues, they won't ignore the skies.

Then we fight. We don't have to survive, right?

[are you fucking serious]

I guess not if you want that mission of peace to fail and war or something awful like that to break out as a result.

I don't think that's what we're supposed to think is important here.

No reason to not try for it all.

And we could set up for a trap. They might watch the skies, but in this sort of setting, it wouldn't be their focus. So if we can draw out the ones waiting for the carriage, we can spring something.

Wait, no, wait!

Can't we just fly over the forest? Like, by ourselves? Then nobody has to risk actually going through.

Then think about it like this: we're not protecting a princess, we are the princess. At least one of us is. If we "die", we lose. So let's not be idiots about this, yeah? And whether we fly over the forest or go through, there's still the risk of hostile encounters.

[to Roxy:]

What kind of trap? I know the people in these games are real to you, so I'm guessing you want something non-lethal.

[-erk.]

[Why you gotta call me out on that.]

...I would prefer it, but when someone is trying to kill us, then gotta make due.

Explosion magic can hit the ground under the decoy carriage. Debris, dust cloud, would blind a lot of people.

...Hibiki, how much can you lift?

Um...like, a car? I remember lifting a car.

Think we could lift the carriage with people?

We could even go away from the main path, might be even less watching the sky.

Should be able to!
