Joy had taken her first step into the room before she really got a look at what was inside.  Her eyes went wide and she gasped in shock at the sight of the obsidian thing that was wearing a school uniform.  It had no features at all, just a shape.  It was like a shadow given substance and wearing clothes.  And thens he saw that there were more.  A lot more.  "Oh, fu-"<br/><br/>The whole mob moved at once and as one.  She tried to fight but they had no substance when she struck them.  Yet they had it when the grabbed her and fore her down.  She shouted and struggled and then a uniform jacket was plunged down over her-<br/><br/><hr/><br/>She yawned and stretched her arms over her head, her bare breasts rising and swelling as she did so.  The blonde blinked sleep out of her eyes as she rose from her futon in her room at the shrine.  "That was a weird dream," she mused.  Her voice was slightly higher and sweeter.  Joy walked out of the room and found herself before the map.  "I guess it's time...to..."<br/><br/>Was it always this cold out here?<br/><br/>She glanced down and then yelped, "Ahh!  The hell?"  She was naked!  Where were her clothes?  "Whose...wait."  Not only was she nude but...she looked different.  Her body was still kicking but she wasn't quite as muscular, her hair was shorter, and were...her tits smaller?  Like she was younger...in her late teens again.  And on her left forearm!  The Arousal Meter had changed; it was no longer ten pips but three, all of them empty.  "Okay.  First things first.  Get dressed."<br/><br/>She flipped the options to the<tt class="bbc_tt">CLOSET</tt>and selected it only to find one option.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">CLOSET<br/>&gt; Hisashiro High Uniform</tt><br/><br/>She tried flipping through to see if there was more but it was just the same one over and over and over.  "...What the hell is...i guess I've got to."  She selected it and then felt her body blur and a she was then dressed in the Hisashiro High School uniform (https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/3K5KX3dAaRWfGrEtc53cWEfv8rj5LH7v9xat3PTkP18/https/img3.gelbooru.com//images/12/b7/12b737866e8128bf2b79cb28b3af2343.png?width=440&height=592) and was back at the map.  "Aika, what do you make of all this?"<br/><br/>There wasn't an answer.  She hadn't seen Aika earlier either.  "Aika?  Hey!  Where are you?"  She ran through the Shrine, eyes looking for her friend, only to find herself back at the World Map.  Alone.  There was no sign of her friend and she knew, somehow, that there wouldn't be.  She wasn't here.  "Oh, God.  What's happening?  Aika...where are you?"  She was...scared.  But she had to keep going.  She wasn't about to find Aika freaking out here!  "I'll find you," she promised.<br/><br/>She opened the commands and blinked.  They were different than before.  There were only three of them, for one thing.<br/><br/>> GO TO SCHOOL<br/>> SKIP SCHOOL<br/>> FIND BOYFRIEND<br/><br/>"What the...oh, man.  This is all wrong."  She swallowed and hugged herself, arms under her perky and big teen tits.  Everything seemed mostly centered around the school.  Except for finding a boyfriend...or was it<em>her</em>boyfriend?  When had she gotten one of those?  What the hell was going on?<br/><br/>All of this had started at the school.  So.  She moved her icon to GO TO SCHOOL and in a moment, she was walking again through the gates of Hisashiro High School but this time it was the bright light of morning.  There were other students, male and female, talking and walking in through the gate and into the school.  Teachers stood here and there, preparing for the day.  It all looked like something out of a slice of life anime or something.<br/><br/>As she approached the entrance to the school, the found a new prompt come up.<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">INVESTIGATE<br/>&gt; RUMORS<br/>&gt;&gt; MISSING PERSONS<br/>&gt;&gt; HISASHIRO HIGH<br/>&gt;&gt; HONDA KYOKO<br/>&gt;&gt; SHATTERING PROTECTOR</tt><br/><br/>But wait.  Those were the options?  They had a lot more RUMORS than that before!  She growled in frustration.  This was so...gah!  She had no idea what was going on!  And Aika was missing and...well, that made that easy.  She moved her icon to MISSING PERSONS and selected it.
