Just...Shut up.

"Well fuck it, I've got enough experience arguing with my friends, might as well make it my official hobby."
You answer, giving a shrug and a knowing smirk to the redhead who definitely seems like the type to have squabbled with her closest friends more than once.

Both girls smile, though Kyna's is a bit more...devious. "Oh, trying to get on my good side are you?" Maria giggles into her hands a bit, trying desperately not to laugh about a joke you're not seeing.

Well, yeah. Isn't it obvious?
I'd prefer her on her back.
You are just...the most reprehensible creature ever, aren't you?
And I still got laid before you.
...
Rekt.

Play nice, you two.

Hypocrite. You can just silence us when you want, we don't have that power.
As much as I crave it.

Yeah, but Steve gets a little more butthurt every time I shut him down. But the less we think about the consequences of him getting out, the better. After all, we can always burn that bridge when we come to it.

"I think you broke him, Kiki." Maria said, still not quite able to get a handle on herself. Kyna was just grinning; you imagine you were looking like a boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Well, if she ever needs someone to get into her cookie jar...

Shutting him out, you turn on James Bond mode in an attempt to deflect awkwardness, "Ladies, there's enough of me to go around, no need to fight." Maria smiled and rolled her eyes grandiosely, while Kyna was openly laughing.

"Yeh right, Don Juan! Thinkin you can bed 's both, maybe at 'de same time?" Kyna laughs. Maria, however, was quite embarrassed. Her face lit up red, and she buried her face in her hands again.

Challenge Accepted.

"Oh gawd, don' be giving 'em any ideeas nao!" Maria said into her face, a strong Jersey accent breaking though.

This, obviously, only provokes Kyna more, "Oh, wadda matta joisey gurl? Ye can'd take a bidda prahddin?"

You can only stand there in silence, as the words the two girls are saying slowly become more and more completely incomprehensible.

You realize what this means, right? We must join in, with our own hilarious accent!

You internally furrow your brow at him. You don't have a hilarious accent, except...

DO IT.
Jesus lord almighty, please no.

Sighing, you join in the fun, "Gurls, why do ya' gots'ta put some man on de spo't likes dat? I mean, look at da damn poo'r gurl. Ha' face be as red as some tomato. 'S coo', bro."

They both look at you in shock for a moment, before looking at each other. There was a humorously charged pause before inane laughter broke out again, this particular bout was also joined by the voices in your head.

Pfft... Do you realize how much of an idiot that made you sound like? Good going Jive-turkey!
Who are you, Bob Marley? Wabba-dabba wooby baby!

Oh fuck off. Like you morons can do a cool accent!

VAT ZE HEEL ARE JOU TAILKING ABOUET, SHIZA? MIEN GERMAN ACHCENT IZ ZE GREATEST IN ZE VORLD!
Non need to shout, mon amie. Ze French accent is zee szeetest in ze world.
Yeah, Vou Vould be French, Vouldn't you?

Calm waaay down idiots, we's not havin' som battle', here.

...
...

Yeah, dat be right. Man! You's betta' be quiet. Man!

VOULD JOU BE QUIET VIT ZE STEUPID JAMACIAN ACHCENT!
Oh, let's talk like you now. Hhhhhhhhh, hhhhhhh. HHHHHHH!

Oh dear, you may have let loose something you won't be able to contain. Oh well, IZ ALL GOOOOD.

As the room's occupants began to settle again, you set things back on track, "But anyway. I'm not breaking up some many year tradition, am I?" You'd hate to come between the sisters, especially since they seemed so close.

Maria shook her head, the first to be fully composed, "No, no. We're big girls, right Kiki?"

"Yeh, but it's us'ally a pretty involved project being partnered with me, yah 'no?" Kyna remarks, getting the last of the giggles out.

I'll bet.

You shrug. It's not like you're doing anything else this year...right?

"Alright. You don't have to come by after school everyday-" Maria starts, before getting interrupted by her loud sister.

"God knows I won't." She says, unpiously.

Maria rolls her eyes at her sister, "Yes, but I probably will be. Anyways, you don't have to come by every day, but make sure you get a hold of one of us once you get something good, either a good piece of information for me or an interesting argument for Kyna. Then we can spend a little time together working the speeches out."

You're not quite sure, but you think you saw her blush the smallest bit.

Boom, you're in. Unless Kyna was serious about getting both of them...
Jesus, only you would think that, Steve.
And only you would complain.

ANYWAY. It appears Steve was a little more right than you'd like to believe, as Kyna picked up on Maria's slip immediately. "You cunnin' bitch!" She says, activating wild accusation mode without any malice behind it.

"You plan on shagging 'em during your lil' 'working' sessions!" Maria immediately pulls back into full blush again, before responding with immediate and loud defensiveness.

"Eam not! That seounds liake sommthin you'd do though!" Maria fires back, accent breaking out again.

"Damn straight it 's, sista!" Kyna laughs back. You smite politely and wait for them to die down, decided not to interject. There's no way they're serious...right?

GET IT IN!

"Anyways, you two have any other plans before school starts officially in a few days?" You ask, moving on to what you believe is a safe topic for conversation. Unfortunately, Kyna's familiar grin breaks out once more.

"Ah yeh. I'mma take one last night on the town, ta celebrate the littl' bit o' freedom we 'ave left." She gives you a conspiratorial look, "Wanna come?"

Hell yes we do.
You know we have other clubs to check out, right?
Hell no we don't.

Steve mentally waved him off. Deflecting the question, you turn to Maria and arch an eyebrow, "You're not going?"

She smirked and shook her head, "Nope, not my scene. I'm doing the paperwork Kiki's supposed to be on top of." Kyna physically waved her off. "You're free to help, though it certainly won't be as interesting."

You get a strange feeling that is certainly will be, though you can't place why.

Kyna sighs, "Ether way, I gotta be goin' soon. Last buses to 'tha city ah leav'in soon."

There are other clubs...
And also a voluptuous woman offering us to go party with her.
Or being alone with Maria.

...

You can sense Steve looking at you funny.

...Seriously?

-
[x]: Party! Party! Party!
[x]: Oh yeah, that's right, we were looking for another club.
[x]: Well, paperwork is always easier with a cute girl working beside you...

Gotta accumulate more commitments than we can handle. That's how life works, right?

Is this a katawa shoujo based quest?

Yes. Is that not obvious? I thought it was obvious. *scratches head*

I'd vote, but I'm terribly conflicted. I'm partial to redheads and voluptuous girls, but I hate parties and like quiet types...
 
Something tells me that if we party, Steve might get out.

We also just saved their asses by joining this club, we look for a different one we have an angry red head on our asses. And not in the good way.

[x]: Well, paperwork is always easier with a cute girl working beside you...

Seems like the safest option.

You know, we should get several different hats and/or ties to denote which personality is in control at the moment.

Yes and no. Shizune and Misha are here whole-cloth, except I'm using Misha's actual given name. Kenjamin is an obvious stand-in, but other than that and the setting everything should be new.

For example, there's more than a romance plot going on. :3

Safety isn't too big of a deal right now. The active personality has a big effect on what happens, but the others (especially The Master) can check them somewhat.

I feel like I should tell you all: Four (Well, three. One is scripted, and showing up soon) Nightmares leads to a Bad End. Steve busting out on his own is infinitely worse than Steve being consensually let out.

...You're not seriously going to stay here, right?

...Yeah, I think so. You have a problem with that?

Kinda, fucknugget. There is a girl, standing in the doorway right now, offering to let us party with her, and you want to do paperwork. GHEYYYYY

You realize there's a girl with us, right?

Pfft. Prove it. We've seen guys with hair that long.

You're pushing it, Steve...

Do it, no-balls! Think you got the power left to suppressed me? Do you even lift?
Uhh, is pushing him a good idea...?
Was I talking to you, assmaster?

Silence!

...

Heheh...

...No...

Aha, AHAHA!
stevewat ru doin

You feel dizzy, and a cold chill runs up your spine when you feel Steve's laugh ringing louder. Faintly remembering there were two other girls in the room who were asking you a question, you faintly pat a pocket in your jeans implying something of importance is in there.

Weakly you ask, "Actually...Is there a bathroom around here quick...?"

Both girls look surprised you have taken a turn for the worst so abruptly and randomly. Kyna points towards the back of the room and mouths something, but Steve's laughing drowns it out. Growing paler, you make it to the bathroom and close the door before Steve's laughing forces you to skid onto your knees across the tile.

HAHAHHHAHAHA! DO YOU FEEL THAT? THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE TURNS I RIGHTFULLY DESERVE! BITCHES! GET! FUCKED! HAHAHAHAHHAAAA!

Then, it's black.

...

Then, it's grey. Steve is standing over you, Halo-esqe Energy Sword in his hand, face like thunder.

"Well well, look who's here. Decided to grace us with your presence, master?"

Steve spits his words at you. Summoning your mental strength, you stand and reach for your weapon. Pressing a button on the hilts, two silver blades of energy slide out. Brandishing your double-bladed lightsaber, Steve takes stock of the situation again.

"...You know, maybe talking isn't out of the question?"

Growling, you cartwheel in the air and strike Steve with both blades. Not quite expecting you to come out guns blazing, Steve is on the defensive.

"WHAT. THE. FUCK?"

Not giving him the satisfaction of a response, you jump again, spinning to strike him horizontally. When the first strike hit, Steve successfully blocked to his left. Expecting you to finish your spin, he positions himself to knock the lightsaber from your hands off of his parry. Instead, you spin the other way, letting the bottom blade strike Steve's exposed side.

Steve's top half files into the air, while his bottom half dissolves. When you turn, a white wispy figure is pinning down Steve's rapidly regenerating body, wisps of black smoke reconstructing everything below his sternum.

"GET. OFF. FUCKBAG."
"master,finishhim"

Wasting no time, you leap and impale Steve's head. His body finally dissolves, and the world fades to white.

...

Gasping, the cold tile of the bathroom assaults your sense of touch. Faintly, you hear a irish accent, "I t'ink we broke him for real, Mimi."

Climbing to your feet, and overcoming the moment of dizziness that brings, you take stock of what just happened. Steve will be back, but that was close. Glad it was you fighting him, and Greg was on your side. Greg fighting Steve, or even you against him alone might have not gone as well. You weigh the options between locking him down for a long time, and letting him out for stress relief.

Putting on a smile, you open the door and pass a hand through your short, brown hair. "Sorry about that ladies, but I AM here for a reason."

Kyna smirks, while Maria just looks relieved. "I swear, you look'd like you were gon'na croak right 'ere. Ye're not comin with me."

You only give a sad smile as Kyna bids goodbye to her sister and bounds out the door. It's only now that you realize that you're alone, despite the other students no doubt having left some time ago. Looking up at you, Maria asks, "So, one poor cripple staying to help out another?"

You limit your immense surprise to a single raised eyebrow. Maria giggles, a bit more girlishly than you remember her acting a few minutes ago...

...With Kyna. Huh. Regardless, at a school containing The Hindered, 'cripple' was something that got you beat up.

You sit down, "Indeed I am. So, where do we start?"

Maria stands up and takes your arm, "Not so fast, hotshot. You know what goes well with paperwork? More paperwork!"

You feel the cool sensation of plastic on your skin. Perhaps what Kyna said earlier wasn't entirely false-

"Quit gawking! We got a lot of work still!" She leads you out the door in a very authoritative manner. You have this weird feeling both of the sisters would be the bestest friends with the Student Council President.

What have you gotten yourself into...?

---

Where's Akbar when you need him? Right now, you're sitting in the lobby of the Nurses' building. Maria is in a tense conversation with some unknown secretary, when she finally huffs and saunters over to you.

"No dice. You're going to have to meet with the Nurse and release your records."

"Wait, why?" Not that you're ashamed or anything...

"So I can fill out my paperwork, duh!" She playfully punches you on the arm. Wondering if Maria and Kyna are twins after all, you get pushed along to a door a ways down a nondescript hallway. Stepping in, you see the Nurse's smiling face and kindly, wizened eyes beaming at you.

"Ah, hello! How may I help you, my good man?" His Japanese accent throws you for a loop for a second, as you realize you haven't heard one in a while.

"I need paperwork." You say, as he taps a pile of papers. You'd think it was odd he would have had your records ready, almost as if he was tipped-

...

IT'S A TRAP!

Hurriedly, you take the stack of papers and mumble a quick thanks. He catches your wrist, "Not so fast."

His smile is gone. "So, I heard you had a bout of sickness a little while ago. Why don't you tell me about it?"

Briefly considering lying to him, you opt to tell him the whole story, fight and all.

After you finish, he scrunches his face in thought.

"Now, I'm going to suggest something, but you might not like it..."

"Anything to stop him from trying to take over again."

"I want to switch up some medications. I still have that drug that snuffed them out totally, from a few years back. I want to try that in combination with a sleep aid. See if we can't kill two birds with one stone."

"That didn't work the last time you tried it..."

The Nurse gives a sad, understanding smile. "Well, right now, you can't have both. Your choice."

---

[x]: Give me the new stuff. Better than having Steve try and take over again.
[x]: I'll take my chances. Better than those nightmares...
[x]: Write-in ?

Now you must play the guessing game. Which one actually leads to the Nightmare? How many hints did I drop? Goodnight, good hunting.

The narrative is a bit disjointed, and I'm a bit lazy about searching for hints. :oops:
