As Shujiko pondered the origin of the mysterious text box, she noticed something unusual about her running. Mainly that she was no longer running, but falling for some reason. It took a moment to register, but when it finally did, she let out a frightened shriek. And promptly hit the ground with a dull thud. And a delayed groan of pain.
"...Wha...?" Shujiko slowly rose to her knees, shaking slightly from the shock. The strange text had been replaced, now saying things about a tutorial quest... and new skills?

[i][Maou's Mind]? [Maou's Body]?[/i] What was all that supposed to mean? New skills? But... She still didn't know what a maou was! her mind and body hadn't changed, right? Why couldn't the disembodied words floating in her vision make more sense?

Speaking of sense, where was she, anyway? This didn't look anything like home.

There were others in the area, too. Apparently having the same problem as herself. Well, except that one girl whose face was buried in another's chest...

Realising she was staring rather intently, the flushed teenager quickly ripped her gaze away from the pair, and instead focused on the rest of the group. What were you supposed to say in this situation?

"...hi there?" Shujiko said in the most cheerful voice she could muster at the moment.
