"Which one do you want?" you ask Mikoto, who turns at you silently, confused for a moment. "From the machine, I caught you staring at it." you bluntly say. A blush suddenly appears on her face "Was not!" denying it completely, however, you just grab onto her arm and drag here to it, playfully smiling at her for a moment before tossing a coin into the machine.
"C'mon, pick one. Any one. I need to make up failing to protect you somehow, right?" you saw, playfully smiling in her direction... which causes her to sigh... trying to look forced into this situation. Her eyes softly roll back at the crane machine and she takes a long, hard look...
...before pointing at a small frog shaped doll, a little Gekota plushie. "I-I don't like it, but my room mate is into plushies like that..." she says, looking off to the side. Is she honestly trying to hide a love for cute things? For some reason, that only made her cuter. Trying to hide cute traits, just to appear tougher? D'awwww~
"Well, here goes..." you say as you skillfully navigate your fingers around the console's panel. An epic battle starts at that moment, between you an the strangely old fashioned crane game. Even in a city that's 30 years in the future, crane games haven't changed. Which was a good thing, seeing as that gave you the ultimate advantage of experience! "I used to play these a lot as a kid. After a while, you get really got at 'em." you say as you navigate the little crane forward, slaying every doubt in it's path. Crushing the thought of failure. AND THEN-
You reach above the Gekota doll and press the button on top of the stick. Sending the crane down to grab it and drop it into the dispenser. You grab it from the machine, and pridefully hand it over to Mikoto.
...Her hands quickly extended in a huggly motion and she held onto it tightly. "It's so cute..." she muttered, snuggling it tight-
...
Before catching herself "I-I mean, K-Kuroko will love it and-" she says, but you just move your hand forward and gently pat her head. For a moment, she smiles... before a spark comes from her forehead "Tell anyone I like dolls like this and you'll be on the recieving end of a railgun." she suddenly threatened you.
...
She really didn't want her cute side to be known, did she? Of course, it might hurt her reputation as a level 5... but still...
For a few more hours, you have play around in the arcade. Playing various games and doing various stuff. It was pretty fun. The bulk of this time was spent with-
A: Mikoto.
B: BROtoharu. Bros before hos.
C: Shinobu
D: You spent time with all of them equally.

D. We need a new CYOA focused on the true bonds that compose a broship/bromance which also kicks serious ass, just saying. Though maybe Metal was right and we should've been a girl so we don't have to worry about the hardships of a bromance, since everyone knows chicks aren't as loyal to their bitches as a bro to his bros

Hmm... I guess I'll check back in a few days or a week. I thought the opening post was quite interesting but I can't say that I'm satisfied with the pacing/lack of development. Don't mind me being a critic, but I feel that there's quite a bit of filler and no real direction in mind at the moment.

Yes, the sudden transition to dating sim was a bit jarring. I don't know the source material, but methinks metal's been playing a bit too much persona <_<

No, that's just how Index paces itself. There's a random day of character development, then a week of stuff exploding. <.< Plus, constantly writing action gets tedious, terrible and boring.
Haven't touched Persona in a week now, actually. Should get back to it and finish it already.
Butyeah, posting in a bit. Just woke up

Well. It'd be a bit unfair if you dumped all of your time on Mikoto, isn't it? You originally planned to have fun with your other friends, so it'd be a bit of a dick move to leave them alone and ruining your fun day together.
...
...
...Come to think of it, wasn't there another blackout yesterday? Your eyes waver to Mikoto for a second during a bit of the time you spend with her, asking her about it. Immediately, she denies it. Saying that she wouldn't misfire an attack as amateurishly like that!
...Heh. You decide not to point out the irony of that statement now that Mikoto was actually in a good mood, lest you get put on the recieving end of her electricity again. Sure, in theory, you could turn at least a portion of your body into rubber... But A: You don't know how much you can replicate the electricity insulating part of it... And B: That wouldn't do anything to solve the 'lightning is really hot' problem.
Well, it was just a lot of fun being had. Finally, a release after all that stupid, constant, annoying, horrible studying!
...
You and your friends are basically forced out when it closes at around six PM. The good majority of the day (and your money, Motoharu is a stupid freeloader) was already gone when you exit. But, the important thing was that you had fun, right?
Right.
You gaze around yourself for a bit before yawning... Motoharu speaks up "Finally, a day of fun without incidents or Kami-yan ruining it with his ability to conjure harems!"
...
At that point, you can hear a loud explosion from the nearby dorm rooms. Motoharu's face drifts off to check the dorm in question... Noticing a fire burst from it. "Why must Touma always ruin my day in one way or another! My dorm room might burn down at this raaaate!" he shouts... Mikoto immediately turns to him, interestedly. "Touma, eh?" she mutters, before staring off at the dorms as well...
...
It might be better to go investigate and see what's going on. But, for some reason, Motoharu isn't already making his move.
A: Go and check it out!
1: Go alone, no need to take people. 2: Go with Mikoto. She's the strongest of your group, after all. 3: Go with Motoharu, he's friends with Touma. 4: Go with Shinobu. Science and everything. 5: Go with a combination of people. 6: Go with everyone.
B: Not important... It'll just waste the time you have to have fun. Continue to run around and have fun with your friends.

You should've known better, Mizu. I am disappoint.
---
"We need to check that out before it gets too bad. C'mon, lets go!" you tell your group. A bit of Chronic Hero Syndrome working in on your decision. "There's no real need, there's a lot of security robots going that way. We'd probably get in the way, or worse, hit straight in the face by a water cannon!" Motoharu objects, however, you decide not to really pay any heed to what he was saying. If he wanted to be a chicken, that's his problem. You're not going to let someone's dorm burn down and get them in danger!
"I can't let that bastard burn to ashes before I get my rematch!" Mikoto immediately follows you as you burst away in high speed. With a complaining sigh, Motoharu follows after you... before Shinobu follows your lead and bursts off as well. Boy, are we going to look ridiculous when it's just a kitchen fire gone wrong...
---
After a bit of running, you reach the domitory gates. Motoharu walks ahead at this point, grabbing his keycard and holding it near the lock. "Seriously, guys? It's nothing. We're going to arrive at Kami-yan's house, and hear him screaming fire. He attracts disasters, it's nothing new or special for him." he says. However, a spark of electricity forms from Mikoto's forehead in reaction to his disobedience. He lets out a short yelp of fear, before quickly opening the gate.
You immediately burst upstairs. You and Mikoto in the lead, Shinobu short behind... and a surprisingly slow Motoharu behind the three of you. When you arrive upstairs, you notice a man in a long, black coat, with red hair attacking a younger boy with black, spikey hair...
An Esper? Must be a Pyromancer. He had summoned a large, giant creature made out of fire, and was charging what seemed like a fireball in his hand. At this point, he had noticed you and turned to you. Angrily, he roared out "More trouble!?" his hand pointed at you to fire that fireball, but the young boy, assumably that Touma boy, punched him square in the face, causing him to stagger a bit. However, it wasn't enough to stop him from using his fire giant to punch Touma square in the fa-
Mikoto instantly flicks up a coin from her pocket, charging a large amount of electricity to her hands. However, the instant it had landed on her palm again-
She suddenly staggered forward and landed on the ground, facefirst. Knocked out "Mikoto!" you shout out in shock...
As you feel something hit the back of your neck. You want to say it's a simple punch, however, it felt more like a large hammerblow hitting you in the back of your neck. You lose control of your body... and fal down to the ground, weakly, silently. You slowly start to black out as you hear a part of one final sentence-
"Fallere825 - The ba-"

When you wake up, you find yourself in... an unknown location. Standing up, you stare around you. All that you can see is a checkered floor going on endlessly into the distance. "Hello~?" you instinctively yell into this darkness. It's quite obvious you weren't in Academy City anymore... Or, at the very least, not outside of the dorm like you were just now.
"You're in your mind, Rai. Deep, deep in your mind." you can hear a weird voice say. The voice was extremely androgynous in nature, from just listening to it, you couldn't decide the talker's gender in the slightest, not even a hint. A moment later, a blonde person is standing up side down on the air. Staring right down at you.
Just like their voice, you can't quite determine their gender by sight. They look like a man, yet a woman. Even their intentions were hidden, looking like a saint, yet a criminal. There is... nothing clear about this person. "You will awaken in five minutes, so our time is short. My name is Aleister Crowley, I am the General Superintendent of Academy City." the person says.
The name and his rank in Academy City are familiar to you, and rather well known throughout the city, however, never before have you seen this person. Not even an image of him was ever circulated! And yet, he's appearing in front of you, right here, right now? "You are a future level 5. Your potential even matches that of the Accelerator... However..." he suddenly stops speaking for a moment, as he looks at you in a serious manner, before closing his eyes calmly.
"...Stay clear of the magic side. Your ability is the counterpart of Kakine's, and of Accelerator's. Creation of the possible, rather than creation of the impossible, and control over all. You are the final piece to my Artificial Heaven. The both of your abilities are valuable. I cannot always guard over you, however. But if you die and step over my plans 125 to 35345, you will pay the price." at the last part of his sentence, his eyes opened in a threatening way. Okay. Got it. Don't die... but magic side? Plans? What was he talking about-
"Hah!" you jump upright suddenly. A worried Mikoto, and a slightly annoyed Motoharu are sitting behind you. Another girl of Mikoto's age, with long, blonde hair, and a rather... develop chest, was leaning over you. Your sudden jump had knocked her off balance slightly, sending her into sitting right on your lap-
"Well. He's okay. Whatever Esper attacked him, it only dealt some minor brain damage. Nothing the great Mental Out can't heal!" she arrogantly said. Electricity was starting to generate from Mikoto's forehead... and this girl got the hint, hopping back and sitting on a nearby chair. Mental-Out, eh? Wasn't that... the fifth level five Esper?
"Ya scared me, Rai, you were out for 2 days. Some ninja girl came and attacked us all. She knocked the three of you out, and left a large gash in my chest... and ruined my shirt. She isn't from inside Academy City, at the very least. I never knew Academy City had enemies... Or that we had enemy Espers!"
...
There is something about his tone...
You don't trust him. Not at all.
A: Press him on it, right now.
B: Ask about Shinobu's condition. She's not here, is she?
C: Ask Mikoto how she's doing.
D: Ask that Mental-Out girl what exactly was wrong with you, after introducing yourself.
E: D, but try to generate small talk and a bit of flirting.
F: Ask everyone to leave... but stop Motoharu from leaving. He knows something, and you are going to get it out of him.
G: Other.
