Rainyday 817 Posted March 14, 2018 🌟 OmoOrg VIP Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2018 COLA CRUSADE: THE EXCITING ADVENTURE A short (hopefully short) illustrated interactive in the same style as Lillica Quest (Go read it if you haven't!). I haven't been able to draw in the past few months because of technical issues, so I decided to do this to get unrusty without committing as much as Lillica Quest Chapter 2 would involve.there is a small chance this could get longer than intended too Rules and pointers: Spoiler -At the end of every update I might leave some choices to decide what happens next. They are always optional unless stated, you're very welcome to disregard the choices and suggest your own command. -Cola is not as crazy as Lillica. Most popular vote chooses what happens. Will try to blend in other popular suggestions (or other suggestions I personally think are cool), so even if the vote seems set, you can still get creative. -Rules can change halfway -Commenting/discussion of the story in this thread is also allowed/encouraged -Art quality will vary as I try to find good balances between speed and detail -There is a chance this project will fade out halfway due to lack of energy or return of technical issues, but I'll try and stick with it as much as I can Now, to start. ========================================================================== ========================================================================== ========================================================================== MORNING (Uuuuu...) It's morning. In the corner of the room, you hear the ticking of a large clock, and you're more than aware of every second that passes as you try not to squirm. The queue is moving at an average pace - well, average as far as bank queues go - but to you it feels agonizingly slow. All too aware that you're in public, you try and stand still, legs firmly together as you shuffle forward bit by bit. You're a grown girl, so you can hold out. Good morning, Cola Sharp. Yes. Cola Sharp. Actually Colette, but nobody calls you that. You're Cola. A normal, charming girl who is happy doing her own thing, but tries to be a bit stylish. Outspoken and upfront with a small but fierce fire in your spirit, only held back by your self consciousness. Cute enough that you've been asked out more than a few times - but, well, you're still figuring out your standards there. Average at school. No special magic ability or genius intellect. Just someone who's doing her best. How did you end up in this position? Well... It started with a deal. The trendy cafe on the way to school recently introduced a new drink to its menu: the extra-extra-extra large superfrost flavormix punch. A drink so huge, so icy and so intense that it boasted nobody alive could finish it in under five minutes. Of course-- --that was a challenge. Not something you'd have tried yourself, but one of your classmates said that he had a score to settle with the cafe owner, so he really wanted to find someone who could beat the challenge, and if you did, he knew there was a certain rare item of his that you really wanted for some time... A free drink, and a prize? Too good to pass up. And so, you did it. Well, the claims about the drink were no joke. It was tasty, sure, but your tongue had already gone numb within the first two minutes - and most of all, it was a lot. For the faintest moment, between gulping everything down, you were almost worried that you wouldn't be able to do it, but you pushed through, and not a moment too soon, successfully swallowed the last drop, leaning back in triumph. That's right. Something as simple as a big drink wouldn't defeat Cola Sharp! ... ..... And now, fifty minutes later, you're lining up at the bank to collect your prize, and the secondary effect of drinking that much liquid has hit you in full swing. You don't really need to say what it is, right? A girl can't say things like that, and well, it's obvious enough. ...Well, okay. You really need the bathroom now. You badly need it. Where did your body even manage to keep all that fluid? If you think about how big that cup was compared to you- no, don't think of that. Not the time. Doing all you can to not hop up and down, clenching your fists, you wait for the queue to finish-- "Cola. Hey, Cola." "Huh-?" "What are you spaced out for? I got it." "!!!" The prize! Inside that small box was what would make this whole thing worth it. Gracefully accepting it, you carefully pull the lid open... "----!!" You couldn't believe it - it was even better in person. It had an indescribable regal air to it, there were all sorts of details that the magazine pictures didn't do justice to, and you couldn't wait to get home after school today and try it out. "I can have this? Is this really okay?!" You look up, beaming widely. "All I did was finish of a drink..." "Trust me, Cola, you did me a big favor today." Your classmate, Risto, replies. "No takebacks, then. I'm not giving this back to you now even if you ask." After admiring it for a few more moments (or maybe a few more minutes), you finally close the lid, and shiver as you remember something else important you had to do now. "Umm, so, thanks for everything. I'm just going to head off on my own now and I'll see you in school, okay? Bye and-" CRASH----------!! You hear a very loud sound coming from the first floor of the bank, followed by a lot of slightly worrying smaller sounds. There's some shouting, but too muffled for you to make out the words. Everyone around you looks confused and worried. You... have a bad feeling about this. >Go down and check out the noises (You are currently on the third floor) >Go down and check the noises, but bring Risto >Ignore them and try to find the bathroom >Other: ______________ DerivativeWings, IJN_Haguro, OmoL and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment
AuthorFaust 1,292 Posted March 14, 2018 🌟 OmoOrg VIP Share Posted March 14, 2018 Faust thinks that the most important thing in this situation would be to look for a bathroom, While the crashing noise is very prominent, and as such, worrying... Faust thinks that copious amount of beverage might be a touch more pressing to Cola. .... Faust also doubts that it will ever be that easy Quote Link to comment
Pache 5 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We should make Risto go check while we find the bathroom! There's two of us, we can do two things. How exciting to see you drawing again~ Quote Link to comment
KozmoFox 5,644 Posted March 14, 2018 👮 Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2018 Go down a bit and check the noises. Perhaps second floor, where the sounds will be better, but if its a robbery you won't immediately be taken hostage. The smart and sneaky way to figure out the jist of the situation. If a robber DOES come up, use Risto as a distraction, and then hit the robber with: Maybe attack Then finish the stick rotation and combo it into flail Finish it with a bap, and run away Life and safety and combos before bathroom folks. But hopefully that won't be needed. Once you discern what's going on, then you can return to your needs and find the nearest bathroom. Keita123 1 Quote Link to comment
OmoCommando 38 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We should definitely check on the noises and bring Risto. Hide behind Risto, let him take the first atta- I mean, let him bravely lead the way. Quote Link to comment
Nikeryda 181 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I say we look for a bathroom. For all we no the noise could be nothing. Quote Link to comment

Keita123 1,103 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Oh hey, welcome back! Glad to see you're drawing again! Lilica Quest was so cute! As for my answer, I say we go to the bathroom first. It's really important for a lady not to wet herself after all. Quote Link to comment
FallingDusk 308 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Just popping in real quick to say that I love the art you've done. The panel with the move's list and button combos particularly got me. Keep up the good work ^.^ And I think I'll be voting for going to the bathroom first. Keita123 1 Quote Link to comment
DerivativeWings 1,648 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 What is this shocking plot twist? This...? Go look for a toilet, ignore the call of danger and adventure! Keita123 1 Quote Link to comment
Dealer 647 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I vote for going down to check the noise. Quote Link to comment
PainlessSolo 23 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Probably best to go to find the bathroom Quote Link to comment
Imouto Bouquet 581 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Rainy's back in action! Let's go with Risto to check out 'the noise', which will serve as a clever disguise for our true objective: Find a bathroom. Fast! Sounds like a break in/robbery/other hostage situation and, as a lady, we do not want to wet ourselves during it. (Although, knowing Rainy, we likely wouldn't have much choice other than wet panties. Inb4 - Only bathroom is on the 1st floor.) Edited March 14, 2018 by Imouto Bouquet Better formatting (see edit history) Keita123 1 Quote Link to comment
AkenoSama 440 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) To the bathroom.....but if I know Rainyday, I have only 2 certainties ..... 1 this is not going to be so easy and 2 this is going to be very crazy, unusual and fun. By the way, welcome back Rainyday, we miss you :') Edited March 14, 2018 by AkenoSama (see edit history) Quote Link to comment
Dededesciple 67 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 First we must empty our bladder as a full one can be quite distracting in combat situations, then ask the other humans in the area if they have a weapon or if the object in the pulp fiction box is a weapon use that, if we can not find a weapon then hide in the women's restroom unti we know weather or not the loud sounds eminated from a threat Quote Link to comment
Lisk 932 Posted March 14, 2018 🌟 OmoOrg VIP Share Posted March 14, 2018 Uo! A Rainy scenario! A Pulp Fiction plot! A nyooooo-m plan! There is only one thing that we can do in this situation. The third floor is too dangerous because there might be spider girls waiting to do a pincer attack. We should go down to the second floor together with Risto, then ask him to check what's going on downstairs while we explore the second floor (to find the bathroom). Quote Link to comment
ola93 415 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I second Lisk's idea, 'though we should take into account that we can probably hear the sounds a bit better in a bathroom, as it comes upstairs through the plumbing with some luck. So it may just be we discover something important while in there. Quote Link to comment
Temporary-O5 90 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 >Other: Try to find the bathroom quickly and take care of Cola's need, and then quickly go down and see what's going on. Yeah, I mean, that's the best I could think of, really. XD It seems to make decent sense and all. Quote Link to comment
Rinatro 190 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 YAY, You're back! This is going to be so much fun. I think we should go investigate the noise. Its probably going to be a robbery, but we dont want to be caught with our pants down in the washroom when they come searching for everybody in the building to collect hostages. Quote Link to comment
Charisk_trash 22 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I agree with @Pache we can split up so we get info and a bathroom at the same time. Quote Link to comment
jippy 41 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Holy shit a new Rainyday interactive! What style of bank is this? is it an overly dramatically constructed on with a fancy balcony style second floor overlooking the first that we can get a recon angle from? if it is then gogo gadget sneak mode Quote Link to comment
Drakon 114 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 We should find a bathroom first! If we end up being a hostage they might not let us go. Btw Rainyday your art style is absolutely amazing! I love it so much! Quote Link to comment
earbudsplunger 1 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 As someone who has been lurking on this site for several years, welcome back rainy! I also vote trying to rush to a bathroom. Brotaku 1 Quote Link to comment
amugeR 30 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Definitely conscript Risto to help do some Ristonnaissance. Quote Link to comment
DKDNS 4 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Omigod. Rainy Theatre! Normal day. Very normally ominous Bank and then sweet sounds of great calamity. Anything goes, Good times ensue nevertheless. Tho tactically speaking, lurking to second floor with backup, should be good. There could be a vantage point or window to see what's going on downstairs, and possibly a bathroom also. (Preferred to stay away from the space that is above main hall or cashier lobby of that first floor. If it is a classic robbery, then foreseeing Game Over to stray bullet when ransom demanding crook shoots warning shot to ceiling,... Do we have a game overs like in Lilicas Quest?) Strike that. Better to wait and just see~ For there is a more important questions around. Is there a certain shaped hairpin and a lock hairtie. How, Why, and is there a KEY to this mystery? Quote Link to comment
