You stop playing and see to Nagi, the little tired girl now collapsed onto the Persian rug.
"Milady, are you alright?"
"I'M okay Hayate.. I just need to rest a bit."
"Want me to get you anything to drink?"
"No... I'm okay. Continue playing, I want to see you beat this game that made a fool of me."
"But Milady!"
"Hayate! This is an order! Beat this game for me!"
"Yes, milady! I will do as you say."

You put her on one of the nearest couches and continue, proceeding to clear stage after stage of the game.
At the final stage, a hard, fast song titled BREAKOUT that tested your reaction time, you barely manage to succeed and finally clear the game.

"Milady! I have successfully finished it!" you turn to your mistress but find her sleeping on the couch.
You turn back to the game to save your progress when you're surprised to find a familiar face on the screen.

It's Mike.
Or at the very least, a CGI gorilla that looked like Mike.

"Okay, eberydadi!" the gorilla on screen says in a weird, overly-cheerful voice, "Time to do some cooldown exercises!"

This is not what you're expecting, infact, this is far from what you were hoping for.
You expected Mike to say "Hey Kid, here's how you get out...."
But no, all you're getting is this Gorrilla in spandex and legwarmers telling you to do some stretches and breathing exercises.

With nothing better to do, you decide to do the cool down routine.
You must say, whoever made this game was pretty thorough.
The inclusion of the cooldown sequence is a welcome surprise after finishing the grueling game in one go.

After a few basic stretches, you follow the ape's instructions and sit down crosslegged on the floor.
Closing your eyes as told, you begin to do the breathing exercises as the CGI Gorilla guided you through them.
"Bleathh iiin... Bleath ouuuut... Empty your mind and think of a relaxing place..."

You think of being home with the girls.
Emptying your mind of all other thoughts, you continue the slow breathing rhythm and relax.

You begin to feel light headed, you're unsure if you're over oxygenating your brain, or maybe if you just pushed yourself too hard earlier, but you ignore that and continue to breath and cooldown.

The lightheadedness changes into a dull pain, not unlike a migraine building up.
It's not that bad, and so you power through it.

Breathing, relaxing, meditating.
It as like you were putting yourself in trance.

The next thing you knew, you had Maria's hand on your shoulder calling out your name.
"Hayate.." she said.
"Oh, hello Maria-san."
"Are you alright? I've been trying to get you to notice me for the last five minutes. Did you pass out?"
"I... I think I just fell asleep for a bit there." you answer.
"Well, get up then. We have guests to attend to."
"Guests? Who?"
"Nagi's friends. You go see to them, they're in the garden, while I wake Nagi up."

Following Maria's orders, you straighten yourself up and head out to receive your guests.

------------------------------------------------
"So.. You're Nagi's new butler huh?" Asks the one that introduced herself as Sakuya.
"Yes." you answer the girl that spoke in Kansai-ben
"Tell me butler-boy, do you know any good jokes?"

You tell her...
"3/10..." She answers. "not funny enough."
"Hmmn?"
"Anyway, where's Nagi? Izumi and I came all the way out here to see her and she's not here."
"Milady is still... asleep. She should be getting ready to meet you by now."
"I see... Very well butler-boy... Since nagi is going out to see us, then I think we too should prepare."
"Prepare?"
"For starters, we need to find Izumi.. She seems to have lost herself again."
"Who's Izumi Sakuya-san?"
"It's this girl in a Kimono, long black hair. Another one of our friends. You'll know it's her when you see her."
"Then I shall endeavor to find miss Izumi while you head on inside to see Milady."
"Hmmn. I'll leave it to you then."

I'm a bit late to the party, but I have my own idea for the anagram.

LG said the simulation was based on four peoples' memories of our world. We know us, Hina, and Tama. Who else do we know from our dimension?

Susan.

One of the anagrams for "STOP DANCING FEEL" is "FIND CLONE GET PAS." Add an extra "s" to the end of that.
>>
>>20667749
Taking the highroad, jumping from tree to tree, you searched the huge expanse of the grounds.
After a couple of minutes, covering about half of the eastern part of the estate, you found the girl in question.

She was walking around by a stream that run through the grounds looking quite confused and lost.
Her long kimono not quite scraping the ground, trailed behind her as she took elegant steps in no particular direction.

Jumping down from the pine that you were using for a perch, you land just in front of her and introduce yourself.
"Miss Izumi I presume?"
"Yes..? Who are you?"
"I'm lady Nagi's new butler. Ayasaki Hayate. Please come with me back to the house so she may see you."
"I'm on my way there actually..."
"If I may be too bold, you seem to be lost."
"I am?"
"You are. Now please, let us make haste and get back to the house."

You reach out to take her hand, which she gives to you a bit hesitantly, when she stops dead in her tracks.
"You... You're.. different." she says as she studies your face, eyes locked with yours.

WAT DO/SAY?
>>
>>20668018
I know.
>>
>>20668018
"Oh? And how am I different? As if I belong here, but don't?"

Hey - Outsider here - People really love to bitch at us questfags, so here's a solution so we all don't cover the front page in QUEST QUEST - Sage half your posts.

Remember that sage goes in the email field, and does not bump downwards, it simply does not bump upwards.

Thank you, and enjoy your harem anime.
>>
>>20668018
"If one of the next words out of your mouth isn't 'Bureau', i might snap."
>>
>>20668088
Also, remember to be smart about it. If there's no post within the last half hour or something, bump it. If it's a flurry of discussion, sage it. If you're running the quest and posting an update, bump it. If the quest is over for the night, start saging your posts - People can catch it in the archives.

Thank you for your courtesy.
>>
>>20668088
The problem there is that sage doesn't play nice with dice rolling.
>>

>>20668129
>>
>>20668018
Really? I never thought about it much but I guess being taught by a gorilla does make you different
>>
>>20668126
The thing is, they will bitch anyway.
LG has asked for saging before and while half of us do it we get new people or people who just won't and that keeps it bumped.

The bitching has died down recently though but that I think is largely because summer is over and we have less people who scream stop liking what I don't like everywhere
>>
>>20668138
I retract my earlier statement.

I still think quest-haters just need to learn to deal with shit they don't like. I don't barge into 40k threads and tell them they're having badwrongfun.
>>
>>20668212
True, but they barge in everywhere and say we're having fun and fun is heresy.

Whatever though - If you don't want to sage, it's fine. Just a courtesy thing to the other members of the board, like holding the door for someone.

You should probably get back on topic - You've got a what do/say prompt to attend to.

"Oh? How?" You ask her.
"You... You just are. I don't know."
"I see... Anyway, miss Izumi, please, let us go back to the house now."

------------------------------------------------
Back at the house, with Nagi now awake, you saw that the three girls were comfortable before standing-by for any further orders from your lady.

As the three talked about what little girls often talk about, the discussion turned to the subject of you.
"So, Nagi, your new butler, where did ya meet him?" Sakuya asks her cousin.
"He just showed up here."
"Ain't that suspicious?" She asks.
"No, how could it be?"
"Well.. ya don't know anything about him. And you let him work for you just like that?"
"He passed my tests! And he's very very good."
"He don't know anything about comedy though."
"Oh? He failed your test then?"
"Yep. He needs more IMPACT!"
"Hmnnn... what do you think we should do?"
"O have an idea or two..." The two look at you with dangerous grins, as the third, Izumi, tilts her head in confusion.

The two girls, still followed by Isumi, drag you out into the hall into the room where Nagi had racks upon racks of costumes.

They quickly stripped you down to your boxers, your resistance just making them much more excited, and force you into a dress.
When it was finished, you found yourself in an exact replica of your bunnymode clothes.
"What...?" You ask as you pull on the familiar bow at your chest.
"Hmnn.. I approve." Nagi says.
"Wahahaha now this is impact!" Sakuya adds.
"C-cute..." Isumi whispers from behind them.

"Was this truly necessary, Milady?" yo uask as you spin around.
"Yes!" came the answer from two of the three girls.
"...yes." Isumi follows up in her slow way.

Conceding defeat, you ask them what was next.
"Now... hmnnn.." Nagi considers, "Now you act as our pretty-pretty maid."
"Wahaha.. Good one Nagi!"
"A maid?" you ask
"Yes. A maid. A cute, hard-working, if a little bit clumsy, maid." Nagi explains.

We don't know. In all honesty, we haven't the foggiest clue what the hell is going on or how to get out. LG has said in his twitter that he's willing to GM-magic us out in exchange for us taking a -20 on his choice of roll, but I, personally, feel that he's going to take it on a crucial roll that will send us down the Negayate path or something.

"Very well Milady.." you answer in a sweet falsetto. "is there anything I can do for you now that I'm like this?"
"Hmnnn... Go... Go help Maria, and don't break character okay?"
"Yes ma'am."

You head out of the room followed closely by the three from a not-so-discrete distance.
Finding Maria in the kitchen, you kept in character asking her if there was anything she needed help with.
"Well Hayate.." she turns around, seeing you in your unusual outfit. "... Hayate, Are you feeling well?"
"Yes I am Maria-san." The sweet fake voice almost enough to make you throw up.
"Then... What's with the clothes?"
"Whatever do you mean?"
"I.. You.. Just... Just sit down for a bit and keep out of my way, Hayate."
You follow her orders and sit yourself upon a stool near the kitchen door.

"Pssst.. Butler-boy." whispers Sakuya from the hallway. "This is boring, go do something..."

"I'm sorry, but I follow Nagi's orders." you tell her.
"... kill joy."

You sat there on the stool, not moving a muscle as you watched Maria clean the dishes.
After a few more minutes, she finishes and walks over to you.
"Are you sure you're feeling all right Hayate?" She asks, a hand on your forehead.
"I'm fine Maria-san..."
"Nagi did this didn't she?"
"Yes."
"NAGI!" she calls out into the hallway.

You hear the girls scrambling to get away, thier small feet tip-tapping down the long corridor.
"NAGI, GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!" Maria shouts again.

A moment later and your sorry looking mistress comes back, eyes downcast, unable to meet Marias glare.
"Why did you do this to Hayate?"
"We... We were bored."
"And you think that this is right?" Maria asks
"N-no..."
"Exactly! We both know that red isn't his color, it should be blue."
Maria grabs your arm and Nagi does the same to the other one.
"Now, let me show you that thing I was sewing the other night..."
