Dreamland (round 3)
[A strange house of some sort sits in the pitch black nothingness that exists around it. For those just now wandering in, they will be drawn to the building, finding it lit up in a way that it should not be. It's as if the whole area- house, yard, fence, and giant sakura tree- all give off their own light, and the newly-arrived are drawn to it like a moth to the flame.
Inside the boundary of the yard, the familiar faces of those who have passed on already will greet them. Depending on who is asked, they might give an accurate explanation. But even if they don't, one thing is clear: you don't want to leave this place. The area outside feels Dangerous, and it is probably best to stay put.
Fortunately, the house is built in an old style, and there are many rooms to explore. One room on the second floor seems locked, but the rest are open to explore as desired. The standard rooms are easy to find: kitchen, a W.C. and a bathroom, a sitting room of some sort, and a couple bedrooms (with plenty of futons for the dead to use). There are also several tatami mat rooms with nothing in them currently, but it seems like there might be some use for those rooms.
Around the house, perches for birds can be found. No birds are on them currently, though.
Sometimes Watanuki can be found in the house, but most of the time the dead will be left to their own devices. The question is, what will they do here?]

But not this time! No, Mugetsu is actually going to crawl over to the back porch of the shop. Come investigate, he's trying to dig something out from under the porch!]
no subject
Find something else then? [ crouches down and tries to see if he can tell what it is ]

It's a book of logic puzzles, and one of the pages seems to be dog-eared.]
no subject
ryuji frowns as he sees that it's logic puzzles but curiosity gets the better of him as he flips to that dog-eared page ] Wonder what he was working on...
no subject
But okay, the puzzle book is open to this page, which is currently unsolved:
Watanuki had five friends: Himawari, Shizuka, Kohane, Syaoran, and Sakura. Each of those friends had a color associated with them, as well as a symbol of some significance to them. Match the friends to their colors and symbols to unlock the truth of their connections.
1: Sakura's name matches her symbol.
2: Neither Syaoran nor Shizuka have the color pink.
3: Himawari's color matches her name.
4: Either Shizuka or the one with the puppy symbol is also green.
5: The one with the feather also has the color white.
6: Shizuka works at a temple, and his symbol is appropriate for him. He is also not the color white.
7: both the sparrow and the color pink belong to different girls.
8: The puppy symbol belongs to a boy, of which there are two total.
9: Syaoran is very fond of his color, which is either green or yellow.
[As he inspects the book, though, he will find that it is covered in fracture marks. It's kind of like looking at broken glass, but the book itself is made out of the broken glass. Still, the puzzle is legible enough to be read.
Ryuji will get the feeling that solving the puzzle might help.]

Hold on... give me a minute...
[ INSERT JEOPARDY THEME HERE AS RYUJI PUZZLES THROUGH THIS ]
no subject
I think... that is it?

When he finally finishes the puzzle, the page will glow for a moment. Then a wind will pick up, making the pages flutter past, revealing puzzle after puzzle that has already been solved.
And as the pages flip, a vision starts to play:]
---
Three teenagers and one adult are sitting on the porch. It is summertime, as evident by their light clothes and the hand fans laying around. Two of the figures are instantly recognizable as Yuuko and Watanuki, though the other two may not be familiar to Ryuji.
Watanuki is in the middle, with Yuuko to his left and the other girl to his right, and he has the puzzle book in his hand. He's frowning down at it, pen ready to make a mark, but he seems indecisive. The girl to his right is peering over his shoulder, watching him solve it.
"Watanuki-kun, do you like puzzles like this?"
Watanuki makes a noise that seems to be neither agreement nor disagreement, as he seems indecisive on the matter. Yuuko, however, will offer clarification for the girl. "He likes them, but he's not good at them."
That makes Watanuki's eyebrow twitch as he snaps his head up to look at Yuuko. "I'm doing just fine at it!"
Suddenly the other male leans over, reaching past the girl to point to a spot in the book. This gets Watanuki's attention, and he looks down to where the boy is pointing, as if it's telling him something.
"That one."
"What about that one?"
"It's wrong."
Now his eyebrow is twitching again, and the girl holds a hand up to her mouth to politely cover up her giggles.
"You think you're so great, huh?!" Watanuki has jumped to his feet, and he's pointing accusingly at the male. "If you're so smart, then you solve it!"
And he throws the book at the boy.
Except it never makes it, because a black rabbit-thing suddenly jumps up and swallows the book whole. And once its down swallowing, it smiles widely as it says, "Mokona will solve it!"
Approximately 20 seconds later, the rabbit-thing spits the book back out, and all four humans lean over to peer at the results.
It was solved perfectly.
The polite giggles soon turn to laughter, with both the girl and Yuuko clearly amused by the results. The unnamed teenage boy isn't laughing out loud, but the smirk on his face certainly looks like it normally doesn't end up there.
And Watanuki himself? At first he looks stunned, but soon enough he finds himself laughing at the ridiculousness of it all as well.
Laughter certainly makes any situation better.

[As soon as the vision is done, the pages of the puzzle book stop fluttering, falling open to the puzzle he just solved once more.
Ryuji will feel like he has done something important, though what he did remains to be seen.]
