idolpro | Izanagi's Ideal World

You wake up in a typical Japanese high school classroom to the sound of a bell.

You are dressed in one of two uniforms* (*Please button up your jacket properly!) - whichever your character would feel most comfortable in. The bell was apparently the signal for the end of classes for the day, because everyone else is getting up from their desks and mingling with their friends, making the motions of preparing to leave without quite going yet.

Among them is Izanagi, surrounded by a small group of students and chattering away energetically. There are two exits, one at the front of the room and one at the back, both of which lead to the hallway. On the other hand, if you want to try understanding what you’re doing here, this is probably the best opportunity to talk to Izanagi or talk to your classmates. You can also, of course, find each other and compare notes. There’s a bag hooked on the side of each of your desks, and inside are the typical supplies you would expect most students to carry: writing utensils and notebooks. These can be used, or not, as you please.

Rules | Classroom | Hallways | Outside | Nurse's Office | Library

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The library is well-stocked and quiet, with only small groups of students murmuring to each other as they navigate the shelves. The shelves are more or less what you would expect: General, Philosophy, History, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Technology and Engineering, Industry and Commerce, Arts, Language, and Literature. There are also tables for students to read and work on homework at, with many of the seats already taken. Large windows provide a view of the cityscape outside. Tag here for exploring the shelves or talking with other PCs, but do be sure to keep quiet.

[ Snooping around for that unmarked book. ]

[There are a number of shelves, each labeled with their Category (such as History) and Classes (such as History of Japan). Where's she looking?]

[Also, there's now a fairly bedraggled-looking Hizumi waving at her from the door.]

[ Ayumu: Don't engage Izanagi until the final showdown
Izanagi: /shows up. ]

Hey, are you okay?

[ She's trying to find the science section. ]

[He'll walk over, though he keeps his voice down at least.]

Your club mates totally just swarmed me! Are you skipping out today?

[400 - Natural Sciences consists of the following: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy/Space Science, Earth Science, Biology, Botany, Zoology, Medicine and Pharmacology.]

I just wanted to look at a few things real quick. Sorry, I'm just going to be a little late...

[ trying Biology for genetics books first ]

[There are all kinds of books! But all she'll find inside are actual dry textbooks.]

...Thinking of studying genetics?

[Weird choice. But wait!]

They seemed like they were on the verge of a meltdown in there.

Genetics is really starting to take off, right? If the Library has anything, it might be an interesting read.

I'm sure they'll be fine without me for a little while longer... What club room are they in, anyway?

You don't even remember your own club room?

[What's with you all today.]

Newspaper club's in Building B. So if you take a right down the hall and walk into Building B, it's the first room on the right.

[That's not how the real life layout of the school works at all.]

[ And the Newspaper Club was only supposed to have one member. ]

It's a joke... pretending I forgot my clubmates existed will really get them going.

...That's terrible.

I'm sure they'll forgive me after I tell them I'm planning a yakiniku party.

-Really?

[all right, time to look for a book, probably? unless Yvette already found it]

[She did not! It looks like she and Izanagi are in the natural sciences section already.

There are a number of shelves, each labeled with their Category (such as History) and Classes (such as History of Japan). Where does he want to start looking?

Alternately there's a student manning the library desk who may be able to help, too.]

[he'll go for the... hm. Japanese literature at first, scanning the shelves for a book without a library label]

[Looks like they're all labeled here!]

[biology next, then!]

[Yvette and Izanagi are here!]

[oh hm. that means Yvette is checking here.

so can he move on to religion, then?]

[He can! And there is indeed a book without numbers shelved there.]

[he takes it off the shelf to inspect it]

[Upon opening the book, you’ll find something curious - no matter what page you initially opened it to, it appears to be a Family Tree.

At the top is Mizushiro Yaiba (Devil) with a horizontal line connecting to Mizushiro Hizumi (clone). Under Mizushiro Yaiba’s entry are eighty lines. Each of the lines connects to a blurred out name save for a few: Takeuchi, Takamachi, Asazuki, Rutherford, and Kanone Hilbert.

All other pages are blank.

A clue has been found, granting the following effect: whenever they are around students, players will now hear whispers among them regarding Hizumi’s resemblance to his older brother, Yaiba.

“Aren’t they exactly the same, though? Mizushiro Hizumi and Mizushiro Yaiba. It’s weird, isn’t it?”]

[none of this really makes sense to him, but he can surely bring it back to Yvette or Chrys.]
