Yeah. Probably because they're tacked on at the end of lines rather than between two. The latter are immediately obvious if you highlight the entire post. The former, not so.

I had been worried that perhaps I'd been too clever about hiding some of the invisitext, and that was what lead to those Good Decisions

    The wind continues blowing past you, flaring out your poorly wrapped bandages dramatically. You pause, turning your head slowly as you follow the trail of ambient mana flowing past you, towards a small, asian looking shrine thing with a strip of paper stuck upon it.

    A hand raises up to cover your face in shock as your sight reveals a blinding amount of magical energy being drawn into the shrine in a shining whirlpool of power, and the wind picks up, threatening to topple you over in your weakened state. Quickly, you spread your legs out to regain your balance, lowering your center of gravity as you lean forward into the pull. Your left hand shoots out, pointing at the source of this disturbance.

    "THIS MUST BE THE WORK OF AN ENEMY SERVANT!"

    "An enemy Servant?!" Your companions shout at the top of their lungs, their hair making ridiculous contortions in the wind as it gets sucked towards the object.

    "Ruler, quickly!"

    "I got it!" Shirou shouts, a plain blade appearing in his hands before it flies through the air, sinking hilt-deep into the shrine, splitting the scrap of paper clean in half.

    The three of you pause as the paper flutters to the ground.

    "What does it say?" You ask, and as the resident Japanese person, Ruler walks over to look at the marks on it.

    "It says…Retribut-Oh crap." He turns towards you and Rider, "We need to run. Now."

    "What are you talking about, boy?" Rider asks, his expression contemptuous, "As if a broken shrine is any threat against two Serv-" Ruler runs past him, his jogging form absolutely perfect.

    Discretion being the better part of valor, you decide to join him. "Hey, wait! Master! Come back he-BY HERA WHERE IS ALL THIS PAPER COMING FROM?!"

    The wind has died down, and your eyes can no longer detect any abnormal flows of mana in the air. On the other hand, you're running right behind Ruler as best you can. Unfortunately, you're still quite fatigued and low on energy. Rider's noble sacrifice shall be remembered.

    "WAIT UP YOU BASTARDS!" Always. Remembered.

    What do you do?

    [] Break into the closest building. Maybe you can hide from whatever is coming from the safety of being indoors?

    [] Stay perfectly still. Whatever it is probably tracks things by movement.

    [] By the Power of my Command Seal
    -[] Rider! Ensure my safety!
    —[] Tank it with your face!

    [] Turn around, you can totally take whatever that stuff is.

    ...So, so tempted.
     
    There is nothing like bonding over falling into trap. Although we probably should have expected this with the invisitext mentioning a kamidana.
     
    [X] While running ask Ruler what he knows about the situation and where we should go, he is Japanese so maybe he has an idea of what happened back there.

    I am grasping at straws at this point.

    -[Q] Trip Ruler with your Mercury whip. He would make a good meatshield.
     
    Remember: Type Moon.

    When given the choice between being cautious and being reckless, being cautious only gets you landsharks.

    -[X] Pose dramatically with one hand pulling a bandage around your neck and another hand pulling a bandage down your abs. Don't pull on the bandages too hard or they will rip apart.
    --[X] Have Ruler pose alongside you too.

    -[X] Pose dramatically with one hand pulling a bandage around your neck and another hand pulling a bandage down your abs. (So you can use the strips of cloth as a base to make cheaper Mercury Whips, not because you're a closeted exhibitionist. This is your story, and you are sticking to it.)

    --[X] Have Ruler pose alongside you too. (For very important tactical reasons. You swear.)

    Hrrrm, a short preview of the next update to help you guys with figuring out what you want to do:

     
    Hmm...

    On the one hand, posing, on the other hand, a calm and rational decision befitting of a contractor magus.

    Yeah alright I'll go for the damn posing. Eventually we'll turn this into the Jojo Grail War.

    Would anyone be receptive to a compromise option of "Trying to get Ruler to handle the problem for us via the power of dramatic posing"? :ogles:
     
    Eh, I'll write it up.

    [ ] Pose dramatically and give an emotional and heartwrenching speech about how Magecraft like this will surely kill dozens of innocent Romanians, children, puppies, and kittens if it isn't stopped.

    -[ ] Oh, Rider's trying, bless his noble heart, he's trying, but he just doesn't have the power. If only there was someone present who could stop all this.

    --[ ] Continually shoot significant glances at Ruler, hoping he takes the hint.

    ---[ ] Hope he doesn't mistake your subtle hints for an attempt to flirt with him.
