Sarah sat down on her bed, preparing to make her big scouting video. She had 812 gems saved up, and was so excited to scout 16 times on the Arabian nights Kotori UR. It was her dream card. She wasn't positive she'd get it, but she had a good feeling that with so many scouts, the card might be hers within the hour.

Without wasting any time, she pulled up her screen recorder and started the video. She gave her standard intro, talked about the set, and started scouting.

"Kotori, come home!" She pleaded as she hit the first 50 scout. Her doorbell rang, but she didn't know it. She couldn't really hear the door well from this room, and she was talking over it.

As she continued scouting, she pulled a lot of great cards. She even pulled one copy of the Kotori. She was ecstatic. As she ended the video, she sighed with joy, and looked at the card again. She could hardly believe it.

Then, the doorbell again. This time she heard it. She rarely got anyone at her door. Curiously, she padded to the living room and opened up to what was the single strangest thing she had ever seen.

It was Kotori. In the flesh. But not just one. No, maybe 25. She stood there, dumbfounded, not even slightly able to believe what she was seeing. They weren't cosplayers either, these were all genuine Kotoris, standing in front of her door.

"Hello Sarah!" One of them chimed. It was her voice. Exactly. It had to be true.

The Kotoris started walking into the house without her permission while she stood there, mouth agape. After a few minutes of dumbstruck wonder, she was able to move.

She turned around slowly to confirm they were still in her house. They all were. She took a few deep breaths. At least they weren't doing anything strange, just sitting and standing around, talking to each other.

She slowly walked upstairs to her room, staring shocked at a few of the Kotoris who talked to her on her way, unable to respond. She quickly logged onto the computer, and was about to warn her fellow LLSIF players, when she saw it had already happened to countless people. She scrolled through, unable to look away, as she saw the phenomenon occur all over the world.

Some people only had a couple, but others had it much worse than Sarah. She saw a photo of a house that was overflowing with Honokas, and even had a flock of them standing outside in the yard. She couldn't believe what was happening.

Then she saw what was causing it all. A simple little phrase that tons of scouters used all of the time, Sarah very much included. It was something that was never meant to be taken literally, but suddenly was. It was three little words that had gotten her into this unbelievable, insane mess.

"Come home, Kotori."
