>She pulls me up and I thank her.
>"I actually didn't drink it. I prentened to because I thought  that you tried to poison me."

>>You pull yourself up, and attempt to stand upright, but falter due to fatigue.
>>The girl supports you by lifting your arm around her neck. This brings you fairly close to her.
>>"You didn't drink it? That would explain why you're still tired."
>>She giggles. "I have no reason to poison you, I only wanted to help you."
>>"It would be unsafe to stay here tonight. I'm going to lead you to my house. Think you can make it there?"

>"I'm sorry I didn't really drink it"
>I look at her neverously.

>>"That's ok, I may have have some more at home, but we have to get there first."
>>There is a path to your right. The girl slowly helps you there and you two continue down the road in the rain.

this isnt part of the actual game, but i think our hero should learn black magic at some point.

>We make it to her house
>"I think I'll just rest here"
>I sit down on the steps up to here house

>>You manage to arrive at her house, soaking wet and tired.
>>"No, please," she urges. "Come inside. You'll get sick if you stay out here."
>>She tugs at your arm to pull you inside the house.

>we go inside her house through the backyard

>>You arrive inside her house through the back. You're inside a small room with a bed in the corner, next to a tall bookshelf. A short table lies in the center of the room. In place of chairs, there lay cushions for sitting. The table is littered with all sorts of tiny objects and pieces of cloth. On the other side of the room is a window at about eye level. Across from you is the door to the rest of the house. You suspect that this is probably the girl's room.
>>"Let me get you a towel and some soup. You must be freezing."
>>"Hmm? Oh, that's because my grandmother's room is by the front door and I don't want to wake her. I'll be right back."
>>She leaves the room leaving you alone. Anything you're curious about the room?

>i look around the room for a weapon/map, or a book of black magic (cause black magic is beast)

>>You take a good look around the room while she's gone for objects that might catch your interest.

>>The only thing that would represent a weapon is an odd staff in the corner. You could whack things with it, but that's about it.

>>You skim the bookshelf and the table for a map, but there don't seem to be any of the surrounding area.

>>Judging from just the front covers and titles of the books on the shelf, there don't seem to be any books about black magic.

>>During your inspection, you come across a white book. It stands out from the rest because, unlike the other books, it's personally decorated on the front with lacing and drawings and such. The front of it says "Diary" while the back of it says "Useful Magic."

>>You can hear the faint footsteps of the girl beyond the door.

I have (or at least, I will) edited the first post so that it doesn't seem so overwhelming. For anyone just coming in, just skim the posts to get a sense of what's going on.

So... you want her to know you took her diary?

>>The door opens as the girl walks into the room with a towel. "Here, and the soup is--"

>>She freezes as she notices the book in your hand. In some random fury, she leaps at you and snatches the book out of your hand. Protecting it, she shouts, "What are you doing?! Don't you know you can't just go rummaging through a girl's stuff?"

>>She glares at you for a moment and sighs. "Well, it didn't seem like you read any of it... And it's not like whatever is in here will affect you anyways. I'll forgive you, but just this once." She replaces the book on the shelf and picks up the towel.

>>"By the way, I don't think I introduced myself earlier. I'm Aya Mercury. And you are...?"

Think up of any name for your character. First and last. But make it good!

Music I never added: BGM: A Quiet Life

>>"Serei..." She looks stunned for a moment. "You can't be.... But Serei was..."

>>In an instant, she shakes her head and returns to her normal friendly self. "Sorry, I must be getting you mixed up with someone else. I'll go get the soup for you." She leaves the room once again.

>>You have another opportunity to check the room, if you wish.
