18th doll | video

[Have you ever seen someone call up the vine, only to look so indecisive about actually bothering? You may right now, as Alice Margatroid is just tossing around the idea of 'is this worth the effort and what it may bring'. In the end, after... being reassured by her dolls she goes with it.]

Right, now then...

Greetings. From what I know, a few weeks ago, there was another bout of people being stuck together and being unable to separate, although with no visual culprit. While I do not know how many people were caught in this, I can only assume a number of you were.

I would like to know something about this time. Namely, what exactly was the cause for your release? Unlike previous cases, this may not obvious, so I would at the very least, like to know what you may have learned from it.

[Oh?]

I am not sure.

[shanghaiworld]

... Well, not everyone can have an answer.

[jemerite]

It was... odd. To be away from them. So we stayed together.

[shanghaiworld]

[Well, this just sounds confusing to Alice.]

Yes, it was all quite odd.

[You know that girl Kris described over cake? She's on the mirror with the most unfriendly look in her eyes.]

And what did you learn from yours?

Video

[shanghaiworld]

[Blue eyes, long black hair... and a look that doesn't look nice. Hmm.]

Not much, aside from what I said. I was stuck with someone who wanted to hover over me far too much.

And how did you manage to free yourself from such an irritating person? [Did her expression get darker?]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I thought it was kind of odd, at first, but I didn't really feel any compulsion now that I think about it. I just thought the others just really wanted to hang out for a long while!

[shanghaiworld]

For me, it happened early on in the day, so some may have been asleep during the time, but I felt... that I had to get up and move. I didn't know it at the time, but it was drawing me to a certain place... or rather, someone.

You didn't have this feeling?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Hmm. I had a feeling like that, but it's not like I was moving in a different way? I really didn't think about it. [ She scratches her cheek. ] I mean, when I saw Katina, we were supposed to go jogging that morning anyhow, and I didn't think anything was weird about Suruga visiting me, either.

[cleaningstop]

I didn't feel any different during that time. But... Are such events normal here?

Will I not be so fortunate next time?

[shanghaiworld]

About once a month, maybe more, an 'incident' you could say, starts up. These go from harmless, such as a sudden surprise party, to odd, such as mistletoe growing, and then dangerous, which mostly involves attacks on us.

And I think your luck ran out.

[cleaningstop]

That's pretty varied! Um, Those "attacks" don't happen often though, right?

Couldn't you have just let me believe for a little bit longer...

[reallyerotic]

Stripping didn't work.

[shanghaiworld]

...........................................

Why would you even try that?

[reallyerotic]

That's an easy question.

I thought it was a good idea.

[duh.]

I BET IT WAS THAT QUEEN! [Screeching and waving a broom menacingly in the air, there's Pinoko in an apron with a kerchief tied around her head to keep her hair back.]

She's awful. Absholutely horrid!

[Video]

[shanghaiworld]

[... What in the name of...]

What exactly happened to you for this kind of reaction?

[Video]

[pinokosthewife]

She's kidnapped Pinoko and everybody elshe here and makesh crazy things happen for no reason and she won't talk to ush fache-to-fache like a proper lady— that coward! And who kidnaps and changes a lady's clothes in her shleep ashide from a creepy pervert and Pinoko mishes her darling—

WAAAAAAAH!! [Pinoko starts bawling like a child for a while before calming down and proceeding to just sniffle.]

Pinoko's going to mish the annivershary and Pinoko's worried shick about her Doc!

[Somebody is clearly feeling a lot of emotions.]

[nekomikoreimu]

*Reimu doesn't look too keen on remembering this issue*

... Why does this interest you?

*Video*

[shanghaiworld]

Because I have absolutely no idea how I got out of mine and I wanted to know if anyone else had a clue.

So, what happened?

*Video*

[nekomikoreimu]

Well, trying to walk away didn't help at all.

[reverentresistance]

I believe it just...stopped, after a while.

Wore off, I guess?

video;

[shanghaiworld]

Do you know how long it took?

video;

[reverentresistance]

7 days, give or take 6 hours. It's hard to say at exactly what time it began...
