This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Satyr, the problem I'm having is that When I attempt to trim the photo, it keeps saying I can't think of a reason to trim the photo, and that I can't think of a reason to switch the pictures when I try to put the new photo in. Which I'm assuming means there's somebody I have to talk to or some other step I've skipped.
This game, again, best thing ever. Packing for the move? Hell no, I'm playing a text adventure.

Try CUT GLAMOUR SHOT WITH SHEARS. "Photo" might not be specific enough. Hope that helps!
Just noticed the name of the book, "In Flagrante Delicto: Jiovanna and Tasha's Garden of Womenly Delights."
I also tried LOOK AT SELF, and it mentions that she's acquired information about Juri through her facebook page. Is that how she found out about her? She's Juri's facebook stalker?

SPOILER: Razara is right, "photo" means the incriminating lesbian photo, and shot means the glamorous shot of yourself. I believe.

Ah, I just found the Shadow Girls. *mischievous laughter* Just as I was starting to get stuck too. ;)
Edit: Ah, I just found out that I can examine many different books at the library.

Augh I'd forgotten I even had the other one. I wonder if it still works if it's "glamor" shot? Kind of jumped at the Anglicism. Thank you so much guys.
EDIT: I'm such a damn linguist for noticing this, but yeah, doesn't work with the American spelling. Weird.
EDIT: Victory!

The only thing I've been able to do in the library aside from the bureau and talking to Miki is typing LOOK AT BOOKS. Is there any way to take them off the shelf or something?

Just examined the sofa in the planetarium. I'm in stitches. Oh, so funny and so creepy at the same time!

I just looked miki right after playing the piano with Kozue. Satyr, you should be ashamed of yourself. POOR THING.

I need a little help, and the theater is currently empty
--> I'm in the planetarium. I turned on the projector, and even sat down on the sofa, but nothing has happened. Isn't Akio supposed to come up? When I go down again, he just tells me to check out the planetarium again.
Ooh, Epi, I need to try that.
Edit: Yeah, why such a jerk, satyr?

Well, you should look around while you are at the planetarium. What things can you interact with? Hint? [You gotta do something similar like you did with the protective gloves.]

I tried it, too. I think it's probably Kozue who's the jerk, though.
Has anyone else tried smelling outside of Touga's house? It smells kind of... Unusual. Or is that just me?
Offline
I... I don't know. I feel like I tried everything.
Hmm, yes, maybe Kozue was smirking because she knew just what she was doing. And here I thought she was just making fun of me.

I got stuck on that puzzle, too. Behind the sliding door is what you seek. For a while, I thought it would just lead back inside the elevator.

Well, I'm going now! Also, have you smell the Nemuro Memorial Hall? Creeps me out!
Edit: WTF is that a bug, raz?

Argh, and here I thought I did that!

Megu, glad you solved your problem! You're right that I should've coded the game to understand "glamor shot." For some reason I always see that phrase spelled with a U.
Epi, as far as letting it all hang out, in your dorm room you can remove whatever you're wearing and examine and smell your underwear. Why is this feature in the game? Because we're a Mary Sue and this is Ohtori Academy.
Razara, LOOK AT BOOKS is as much as you can do. But there are a number of different interesting texts in that library, chosen at random!
Likey, because that's what she would do, and that's what would happen.

I was teasing. It's a fine detail to add to the game for people who know where to look I'm enjoying these little touches.

I'm still on the whole gloves bit, partially because I've been busy studying and partially because I'm just stuck.
Questions: I want to look at the equipment lockers, but I don't know the command for going inside of it? I've tried different ones. So far I can just LOOK at it and it doesn't say it has a lock.
Also, if the shadow play girls are gone, does that mean we're close?
Okay, now I have to check out why Kozue is mean.
Edit: MIKI. ): ): ): ): SATYR, HOW COULD YOU. T_T MY HEART IS BROKEN.

Let's get you unstuck [[Looking in the locker is exactly right, but the verb you need is OPEN!]]
As for the Shadow Girls, if they're not around, it means the game isn't sure what problem you're stuck on. Hint systems are harder to write than you'd think!

the unsubtle seduction from the fancy camera."
I guess so. I assume that it smells like camera because Akio and Touga have had camera sex outside.

Yeah, that's tricky. I'm pretty sure I said to x equipment (or maybe open).
Also, if the shadow play girls are gone, does that mean we're close?
I don't think so. Just that you're not directly confronted with a dilemma.
My question is: How do you get Akio to take a picture of you?
I'm very bad at this, apparently

Raz, ouch!! That's not so good! Very much a bug. If you SMELL CAMERA, it should smell like unsubtle seduction, but I can't explain why you're smelling it outside Touga's house -- and I don't understand the part about "your former self" at all. Another thing to zap if I go back and try to clean this up!

You can smell things in the gamef?! really?!
I too am stuck with certain people in a forest and the camera puzzle

The text isn't what happens if you smell the camera-- that works properly-- just typing SMELL outside Touga's house causes that text to appear. I think it mentions the camera because since there's no default smell outside, it smells something in her inventory instead.

Today, I learnt the meaning of the verb "ogle".

Seems like the bug is that if you smell outside Touga's house, you get the reply you'd get if you smelled the fancy camera. Because when it has no smell, it says "X smells of nothing in particular"
