![]() While a full video recording is known to exist of the play on both DVD and VHS, the recording has never surfaced. The play only had one run in 1984, with a heavily truncated TV performance being done a year later on the “Youth Performance Special” morning Nippon TV program where the set pieces from the openings of the first act and second act are strung side-by-side. The screenplay is decorated with intricate surrealist details with characters speaking direct quotations from dadaist poets of the early Showa period, resulting in an experience that is as much nocturnal poetry as it is taboo horror. One of the centerpieces was an extended sequence at the beginning of the second act where the schoolmaster (performed by the now mainstream actor Kyusaku Shimada, originally working under the pseudonym Lovecraft Shimada) carries out a live vivisection on a student to surgically extract his pubescent urges, which had manifested as a chestburster. The play contains several infamous special effects standouts. Plots ultimately intertwine, resulting in a nightmarish Oedipal bloodbath in a macabre science lab that’s riddled with many taboo secrets. In the midst of all this, a mysterious transfer student infiltrates the school grounds to uncover the whereabouts of his missing sister. The Merbromin substance turns the students into sentient machines, with their organs being made “valuable” in how the doses of mercury turns their innards metallic. In the two-act narrative, an unstable school teacher runs a health program where students volunteer to have their blood replaced with the outdated medicinal substance Merbromin. While the Tokyo Grand Guignol are more well known for their subsequent work in the original 1985 version of Lychee Light Club, Mercury was an ambitious debut effort that was as much Tetsuo: The Iron Man and Alien as it was Ranpo. Photos from the elusive early-80s Tokyo Grand Guignol play Mercury, also known as Mercuro and Merbro. I request that you sign it, or you would have to deal with quite the paparazzi if I were to tell a certain magical influencer of this." The headmage was surprised by this threat, reluctantly signing off on the transfer "Yes yes.we will start on that right away then." he said, watching as Rose Hearts rolled up the now official paper. I would like the Ramshackle prefect to stay at Heartslabyul as a student until their dorm is safe to live in. "This is a paper for a dorm reassignment. Crowley is already terrified seeing this, as the young prodigy walks forward, before slamming a paper on the desk, writing on it somewhat messy, as if it was written by a trembling hand, not from sadness or fear, but from anger, due to some spots being darker or bolder than others, the ink somewhat abused into the letters it formed on the paper. With a loud bang, the doors to the head mage's office burst open, a red haired, red faced male at the door, seething with rage he had held back from the prior night. The game starts with a cutscene where the main characters are being chased in the sewers by the guards of Zone 5.1. They then hide in a room where the guards are unable to get in. Phil finds a portal and solves puzzles in order to activate it and set the location to Riddle Elementary School. They teleport to said location and then Ms. ![]() Cophey questions to why they were absent the past several days, in which they respond in the truth that they were abducted, but Ms. Cophey thought it was an excuse, and since they were not present the past few days, she decides to allow the class to make up their work while canceling a quiz scheduled for the week that they are in. However, a voice states that there will be a quiz, and cleverly enough, the last alien of the alien trio, Quiz introduced himself to the class and proclaimed himself the new headmaster of the Riddle Elementary School. He and his minions set up traps, weapons, and scanners to prevent them from leaving. ![]() ![]() However, Phil creates a decoy out of a backpack and a paper bag found in the classroom. The decoy fools Phil's scanner, allowing Phil to escape the classroom, with no objections from Ms. Once Phil is out of the classroom, he wanders around the school for items and eventually makes his way to the Teacher's Lounge, which is the Box Office from RS1. Using an eyedropper filled with soap to get past the alien guard blocking the Headmaster's Office, he confronts Quiz by "quizzing" him, eventually causing Quiz to become upset and agree with him to free the students of Riddle Elementary from his traps, and terminate Project Vizion.
