Chapter 1 - Welcome to the Koryuji House (Post 1 of ?)

Here we are. The first "real" chapter in Project X Zone.
From here, the chapters are going to start getting longer (though this first one is pretty short). And longer. And longer. I hear the late-game chapters are fuckoff huge and take over an hour to complete. Obviously, I'm going to have to start cutting corners somewhere. That corner-cutting will probably come from the battle scenes, mostly, as those aren't going to get any more interesting over time. Once you've seen all the special attack animations and everything, I'll only bring up battle stuff if it's particulary noteworthy (and maybe have the occasional "
draculas catsel"-type screenshot). I do hope to keep as much dialogue in as I can bear to, though, as it's the funniest part of the game and will likely deliver for much longer.
If the game ever gets to the point where I'm utterly tired of playing it, I'll stop playing it. So there isn't exactly a 100% chance I'll be seeing this game through to the end! But as long as it stays entertaining, or has the potential to make entertaining posts, I'll keep at it.
That said, let's Go 2 It.

Time to check on our old pals Kogoro and Mii. Remember them? I guess all five of the prologue chapters happened concurrently, so no time has passed in the game world since we last saw them. Can't say the same for time passed in the real world, though!
Well, I sure haven't found anything.
Of course you haven't. I've already cased the place when the stone was first stolen.Alight, so maybe a little time passed. Either that or he was casing the place while fighting the battles back in prologue 1.

Finding your Lost Remote Control with the Power of Ninjutsu™


If the Tenzai Detective Agency can't find anything, it just doesn't exist! Well, except when it does exist.
Finally admit it, huh? So, what? You turn up anything this time around?He just said he found nothing... weren't you listening?
Well, hmmm...Kogoro, having failed to find anything, looks inward and tries to find himself.

Well, maybe that's because Mii keeps fish in it...

Ohhh, that kind of fishy! Yeah, fountains in this game kind of have a track record of doing shit like this.

Y'know, m'lady jokes have grown a ton in popularity online since I posted prologue 1. And Kogoro says it a lot. So I'm not going to point them out unless they really seem like something a fedora-wearing, dorito-eating, faith-smashing cyber-warrior would say.


Ah, just who I wanted to see.
Whoa! Someone's popped out of the fountain!
Who're you?
So the story's true. Water really can serve as a portal between worlds.Who'da thunk it?
Where are we?Chun-Li throws a question into a black hole, never hearing from it again.

I think this is what it's referring to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Honest_WoodmanEither that, or he's talking about keeping his wood honest around all these babes.

Yep, it's his wood.

Morrigan don't give a FUCK 'bout yo fountain.


Yep.
A succubus?! One of those monsters that prey on innocent men in their sleep?!
Uh-huh.
You look like a wet dream demon, to me.
That's right.
(By the way, I don't think I've done it yet, and SK may have done it some, but non-bolded text is me putting words in characters' mouths instead of actual dialogue from the game. Just so you know. Back to adventure!)
And what about you? Another demon of some sort?
Human. I'm Chun-Li, agent for Interpol. Would you mind telling me where I am?We know she asked that already, but maybe everyone was too busy with Morrigan to notice. Time to try again!
A seductress and a police detective? Your fountain's got interesting taste, Mii.
We better get to the bottom of this, quick.
Hello? Can somebody please tell me where I am?

The scene fades out and back in, so I guess everyone got caught up.

And Chun-Li finally found out where she is.
I'm even more surprised! A succubus and a cop? What kind of combo is that, huh?
You don't seem terribly surprised about what I am.Sometimes the characters in this game are surprised, and sometimes they just go on like everything around them is normal.
Well, things how they are these days, demons and ghouls aren't that rare.
I mean, I tripped on like three of them just getting out of bed this morning!
My ancestors used to be demon hunters themselves, in fact. And with a sexy lady demon like you, I'd welcome that with open arms.
Hee hee hee. The honor's all mine.Morrigan got that compliment she's been fishing for.

I know! The nerve of this guy, right?
So, Japan, huh? I think I'll need to call upon a specialist for help here.
A specialist?
Ah, I know who you mean...Why, the Tenzai Detective Agency, of course!


Some dudes appear.
Looks like we're not the only guests.
Ugh, I hate this! I'm not running a theme park here, you know!Imagine what a great theme park you could open if you had a water fountain that spawned Interpol agents and succubi.

The stone that was taken before the story even began.
The culprit always returns to the scene of the crime. Bit quick, though, huh? Well, whatever. You guys mind helping me capture these suspects?
I'll even make you honorary members of the Tenzai Detective Agency! Come on, what do you say?
That's my job, Detective. I'll be happy to bring them into custody for you!
Oh, Morrigan...
