>Morte (Floating Skull)Not enough fire on that skull.
You know I'm going to vote for a plant based youkai.
You forgot Morte =[Think about it, Morte, on a FEMALE youkai?
If the first name "Hibachi" means "bees" then the surname should mean ".mp3" :V
But in all honesty, is that a vote?Not a vote, just a suggestion.
Waaait a minute... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibachi)okay so apparently its not day or bee
Waaait a minute... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibachi)
let's vote for bowl-girlbowli
We better not get Rou confused then, otherwise he'll wind up parsing this for me unintentionally. :3what
But that might work, provided Rou doesn't object.
Although...I planned to have cameos from other text adventures.
Platypus youkai.cant do that
Beast Youkai
Platypus subtype.
Platypus would be the best, we can have all kinds of esoteric bits like wingertips.???
Hanzo make an omake after the story is over for the platypus youkaiNow that'd be something I can easily get behind, because then I'd have more time to work with.
I kinda liked the two-mouthed lady. Seems like an interesting concept..
Well I guess I'm sticking with Hibachi, Female, and Flower Youkai.
I vote for a tengu wolf. They're way underdeveloped and should have a newspaper of their own!
I vote plant-based youkai. Can't decide which plant though...One problem, I nixed subtypes for all but magicians, they never existed for the others.
Ideas
Ivy (given as an example by Hanzo)
Primrose (given as an example by Hanzo)
Azalea (given as an example by Hanzo)
Nightshade (given as an example by Hanzo)
Sunflower (proposed by Kip)
Wolffia (suggested by me)
Cactus (suggested by me)
Also, to clarify, I vote for a ambiguously gendered (If that's still voteable) sakura tree plant youkai.You wanted pink hair, right?
Hell, We were just BORN. Do we even know how to talk or anything?>You attempt to stand, and surprisingly enough, it works!
>Try to stand up.
>Can you talk?
>Look around.
>Make a reminder to write down a 'thank you' note for later. If you can figure out to deliver it to this mysterious notemaker anyways. :V>You resolve to thank whoever wrote the note
>On a less derpy note, we should prolly' go and find Chen. Let's get to steppin'
>Check and see what just WHOP'd us in the back.
>"That huuuuuurt..."
>"Who was that?"
>Try to act friendly. :4
>"Also, ah. Could you please get off? As nice as the greeting is, I'd kinda like to stand up if that's alright."YOU FORGOT THE NYA
>Should we say nya~ a lot? Well too fucking bad we are because i fucking love my NYAAAAAAAAAA>The parser has no qualms with this.
>"Who are you? You seem familliar nya~"
>"Also, ah. Could you please get off? As nice as the greeting is, I'd kinda like to stand up if that's alright-nya.""Oh! I should probably get off of you shouldn't I?"
>Hey, Mister Parser? We're good girls here, we dont curse nya~>These are merely representations of what any newborn youkai would feel, simply put into an understandable way for humans to read.
>"I think I've seen you before... What's your name Miss....?"
>Try to remember who she is
>Don't question it. You know she's a good girl, somehow. However that house doesnt exactly give a welcoming aura off.>You get the feeling she means well, you don't know how, but you just feel it. Maybe it's the fact that she's a Nekomata too?
>"So, um, how do you know me? In fact, how do I even know you nya~?"
>"S...ay. Who lives there, anyways?">You comment on your wondering who lives there, she seems kinda surprised
> Get a baring of our surroundings.>You look around a bit, and you appear to be in a more well-kept section of [Mayohiga], upon looking back, you notice that there's a small group of cats following, they seem familiar too..
>Check chest for the usual growths.
>"Is it time to eat?"
>"Honestly? My memory's kinda on the fuzzy side of things at the moment, nyeh.">you remark that your memory's pretty fuzzy, and her reaction seems to indicate that it's normal.
>Examine our benefactor/captor. How are we different, and how are we alike?>You can tell she's a nekomata, like you, and female, like you. But that seems to be where the similarities end.
>Contemplate more cat scattin'.
Smells like bakeneko :3Why yes it does.
>Anyway, apart from our Walfas look, how tall of a girl are we? And about our physique: Are we cute, big-titted, do we have long kitty nails (like Chen in Perfect Cherry Blossom) and so so on.
>"What's home and where's that, nya?">You ask her this, and she points towards the blue-roofed house you've been heading towards for some time now.
>Glance over at the small group of cats, then back at our familiar compatriot.>You look over, and what's this? The number has tripled! :o
>"Nyeeehh... Hey. Seeing as you said that you probably took care of all the cats here, myself included.. Would that make those cats over there family, so to speak?"
>"Yukari-sama? Ran-sama? I don't know them, nyaaa....">When you say this, she seems somewhat taken aback.
>"Oh, yeah. I see it. Maybe a little something to eat'll help clear my mind up a little, nyeh.">When you comment on that, it seems to spark her go from a leisurely stroll, into a run!
>"Guess it's a race, then-nyeh~!">After saying that, you run after her. after a little while you manage to catch up.
>Now let's go an' run after her!
>Contemplate this apparently dire phenomena known as headache.>You wonder that a headache must be a truly fearsome thing.
>"Am I fast, nya? I'm not sure what can be called fast anymore, to be honest...">You remark this to her, and she seems unfazed by it.
>Try seeing how fast you can go if you run on all fours. As in, yanno. Using your hands as well.~BGM: Speed Battle!~
>What was the experience like?>Rather....strange.
>Look around, where are we now?
>"Wooaahh!! What just even happened, nyeh?">You try to say this, but it comes out as a muffled "Mmrmbrmmrmah!", due to being stuck in the wall of someplace.
>Pull self out of wall, stick landing.>You manage to extricate yourself from the wall, but the landing was...less-than gentle. Seems that rip in space fired you like a cannon.
>Proceed to spit out any debris into hand. Also, BLUH.
>Hm. Guess we'll talk to her later, then. It'd be rude to ignore this new voice.>You turn to face the owner of the new voice and....wow.
>"Pfeh.. Yeah, I'm alright, nyeh. Just had some debris in my mouth is all. Also, ah. Sorry about the wall."
>"Anyway... If I may ask, who are you?"
>"Water, please...">You ask them for water, and the girl who has now been revealed to be Chen rushes off momentarily, returning with...a wineglass filled with water? Whoever these folks are, they're pretty well-to-do.
>Rinse mouth out. Spit. Who ever heard of being indoors?
>Nah. Swallow. Might as well play nice at first. I think.>You consider spitting, but then decide against it, you wouldn't want fluffytails over there to be mad, especially when you've just found out that the Chen the note mentioned is her Shikigami.
>"Hm? Expected what?"
>"Ah...Kind of like looking into a mirror of sorts, nyeh?">When you say this, she nods in agreement.
>"Alright, then. Anyways, I was wondering.."
>Pull out the note and show it to Ran.
>"Any idea as to who wrote this? I'd kinda like to thank them for giving me a direction to go in, nyeh."
nyeh.WE ARE NOT FROM BROOKYLNNNNNNNNNN
WE ARE NOT FROM BROOKYLNNNNNNNNNN
Other nyalternativesoh yes
nyaa
nyah
nyan
>"Alright, then. Anyways, I was wondering..">You show her the note and comment on how you'd like to thank whoever wrote the note, and when she looks at the handwriting, she seems to chuckle a bit.
>Pull out the note and show it to Ran.
>"Any idea as to who wrote this? I'd kinda like to thank them for giving me a direction to go in, nyan."
>We haven't introduced ourself yet, have we?>You decide to introduce yourself, it seems you remember your name at least.
>...Come to think of it, do we even remember our name?
>"Can I have some food too nyan?"
Ran needs a more readable text color =[There's a reason for the colors, I would've used indigo, given that it's her associated color, but that was even harder to read.
You could always try pink, beige, or hell, even yellow for ran.
Perhaps this could work for Ran, if text colors are necessary?Ah, this I like!
>"What kind of food will we get nya?> "Well, we were supposed to have fried tofu with bonito flakes, rice, and grilled fish, nothing too fancy but...."
>nyan nya nya nyan nihao nyan
>Actually get a look around.>You look around a bit, and see that you're in a relatively japanese-looking western-style home, complete with plaster walls and such..Oh, and there's the hole you left.
>"So, where IS Yukari?">"To be honest, I don't really know, she's been doing this a lot lately, she even opted out of hibernating this winter, which is quite strange..."
Also, is the BGM real? I was thinking it was made-up, but it turns out Speed Battle is a track on an AQUAELIE album (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/%E7%A5%9E%E9%80%9F%E8%A3%81%E5%88%A4_%EF%BD%9E_Rapidity_is_a_justice). Kitsune's Ball and Funny You Should Ask don't seem to exist, though...They're actually names for pre-exsisting songs I felt fit the moment, the links will be posted at the end of the story.
> Inspect the box.>You do so, but it doesn't seem to be willing to offer up it's secrets, so you ask Ran and Chen.
>Actually, how's our sense of smell? Don't ask about food in the box unless we can smell it, or can't smell at all (human equivalent, that is).>Fairly good, nothing out of the ordinary for a Nekomata, but you don't seem to smell much from the box.
>What's this thing?>You ask about the box, and Chen comes up to join you near it. "It's called a Television, Yukari-sama brought it in from the outside world!"
>Point at the box
> Knock on the box lightly.
> "Hello?"
>"Why would you put people in there nya...?">You do so, and for some reason the image blurs slightly when you do so! :o
>Back away slowly
>ohgodsomoeeeeeee
>"...Is this like a cage? Maybe you could put some squirrels or rabbits in there for snacks later!"> "They won't respond, it's just a remote image being transmitted through the border from the outside world."
>"What are guns? And a remote image and a border and the outside world and and and anandandanandand...">You ask a rapidfire barrage of questions but...oh now look what's happened, you've gone all cross-eyed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW27kyh7PVM).
>You just cant absorb all this info
>your brain hurts
>owie
>honk.
>HONK.
>Actually no. Just. Let's. Take this thing slowly. Just let the info go by slowly. Yes.
> Can we understand what the people in the box are saying?>Yes, yes we can, albeit they seem to be very enthusiastic about...something. You're not quite sure what.
>"head huuuuuuuuurts. Owwwwnya"> Ran sighs and walks into what you assume to be the kitchen, presumably to find something to alleviate the headache. "Just like old times."
>too much pain
>cant
>think
>straight
>Bluuuuuuuuh>You groan just a little, and Chen seems inclined to join in, due to her headache.
>C'mon, shake yourself off. Jegus.
>Gently massage your forehead. That always works! ...I think!
>Run forehead, hopefully that'd work.>You try it, and it seems Chen has already had the right idea mere moments before you. "Oww..."
>Make sure Chen is doing it too if it works. She shouldn't have a headache either nya~
>"Owwies... Is there any way to stop these? It huuuuuuurts">You seem to feel somewhat relieved that someone else is going through the same thing, but you kinda feel bad for it.> whine in a SUPAHKAWAIIDESUDESUDESUDESU way
>Well, I guess that's what we get for being derps, kinda.>Yes, you and Chen only have yourselves to blame, you hopelessly goofy fuzzballs you. :V
>"Are you alright, nyan?"
>In order to get rid of the headache, you must digivolve into CHENMON (http://)
>Ask where the pretty fox-lady is.
>Is your head feeling any better?>Are you SUUUUURE you cant digivolve? Cuz that'd be cool
> Let's watch the picture box while we wait for Ran to return and to forget about the headache.>You decide to do so, but by now the images being displayed have changed, it seems to be a show about a girl who seems to your eyes to be some form of Squid Youkai (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BXTMEcCv4&NR=1)..you think.
> Memorize the show thoroughly.
Samurai Cowboy kitty!
>Stretch a little bit. Might as well, while we wait. :VV>You stretch out a bit, and before you know it you're fast a-zZzzzZzZzzZ.....
>You open your eyes to see that your eyes are openedited so that this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MC0G-Lbuuk) fits oh so much better
@Hanzo: Don't feel bad about winging it; that just makes it more like a genuine unpredictable dream! :V
EDIT: Commands, eh?
>Are there any posters in the area?
>If so, do they read "Rabbit Season," "Duck Season," or something else?
> Get a baring of our surroundings.>You look around, and see that nothing has changed from how you initially saw it, although there is a pair of what appear to be a strange kind of youkai (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTOBR9TjMjo&feature=related) standing near a tree having a heated argument while ripping something off the tree they are standing near.
> Poke a rabbit.
>Engage in ridiculous dance sequence with the rabbits.>You do so!
>You're fairly certain that the two arguing youkai are saying something to that effect, so you don't feel any need to.>Are there any posters in the area?>If there's not any, put up a poster that says "Rabbit Season."
>If so, do they read "Rabbit Season," "Duck Season," or something else?
>catch a rabbit
> Pounce on a rabbit and try a nibble.
edited so that this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MC0G-Lbuuk) fits oh so much better>You attempt to do so! ....But before you do so, you feel an impact on your back, and hear a voice. "..chi...Hi.. achi...Hibachi! Wake up!"
>EAT THE GODDAMNED BUNNYS ARRRG>always i want to be with you and make believe with you and live in harmony harmony oh love
>"Nyaaaahh... Huh..? Sorry, just kinda conked out there for a bit.">The cat seems unsurprised at that. "Well, you did look so comfortable, so I decided not to wake you until the next day."
> Look at the box to see if the funny talking people are back on.>You do so!
> Does the cat's voice seem familiar to us?>Yes, it sounds like Chen, but how could that be? Chen's a girl like you! .....You think.
> Ask the cat why it's talking.
> Poke the box a few time and fiddle with the knobs, one of them has to do something.
>Wave to the box>You wave to the funny man in the television.
>"Hello? I'm Hibachi-nya"
> Fiddle with the knobs some more, we must find the funny talking people again.>You do so, but find nothing of note except for an overweight man talking about a promotion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZH3SpBujwk&feature=related).
> Ask Chen how she transforms.
>"Cat Form? But arent I already a cat?"
>Inquire more.
>BECOME A MUPPET
>"How can I get cat form, nyan?"
>"And.... does this all mean I'm a shigi... kishi... shikigami too, nyanya?"
>Learn how to roll your r's for later. Yanno, just because. :Vc>You decide to learn how to roll your r's later, but you don't know if it can even be taught.
>"Is it good to be a shikigami?"
>Visualize myself as a cat. Let's see if that works
>Think of cats. Become the kitty. Become the kitty.>You ask Chen about it, and she seems to be able to at least reply that much. "Kinda, you get more power depending on how close you are to your master. For example, since Ran-sama's nearby, I'm pretty strong, but if we were at say...the Misty Lake, I'd only be about as strong as that ice fairy that lives there."
> Purr, and be cute, as cute as possible.>You do so and...aww man that's cute. Like, REALLY cute. you're not sure if it's even possible to be this cute, but you don't care because that's how
>"Ice fairy?"
>And imagine my human form again. woo, shapeshift>You do so, and before you know it you're your regular cute self. But as usual, you still have the ears and tail.
>"Opponent?">You ask Chen about this, finding it rather confusing.
> "Strange?">You inquire as to how strange.
>"But why do you think she's being so mean nya? I'm not even suer I can beat her..."You ask Chen why(as you've been doing since you met her), and she shrugs in a very puzzled way.
>chen replies: "BELIEVE IN THE ME THAT BELIEVES IN YOU. JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!"
>Do we even know what a dream was?
>Try to describe your dream to Chen, ask her what thefuckit was about.
>"That's kinda mean. You should go beat the crap out of her!"
>Do we have any experience with faeries from our pre-youkai days that we recall?
>How about any combat experience?>You faintly remember a trio of fairies, but you can't remember much about them.
> Execute adorable head tilt.>You headtilt rather adorably, and ask what danmaku is, and Chen seems to giggle and cheer up a bit at your question.
> "Danmaku, nya?"
> Be extremely Moe~
>"Magic? I dont think I can do that though... I just woke up and everything nya."
> "Hmm... Say. Maybe I could get a better idea of how this whole danmaku thing works if we practiced it a little bit, nyah.">You ask about practice, and Chen seems to perk up a bit more. "Regular fairies are good for that, maybe we can find some!"
>"Um...is it really ok to just beat someone up for no reason, nyaa~?"only if you do it cutely :4
>"Yeah just give me a second~">Chen nods. "Okay, whenever you're ready-nya."
> Say goodbye to the "Television". You dont want to be rude after all.
>"Okay, I'm ready nya~">Change name to Moe (http://tiny.cc/5qld7)
>Now to follow Chen out. Don't run out on all fours unless you need to. :V>You get up from in front of the television and follow Chen outside.
>"Um...is it really ok to just beat someone up for no reason, nyaa~?">You voice this question to Chen, and she stifles a laugh. "They're fairies, they don't care. Heck, sometimes they flat-out forget! And as a plus, they don't die when killed, most don't even realize it."
> Shield eyes from the Sun.>You do so, but you assume before long you'll need to find some form of hat, since everyone you've met so far has one.
> Follow Chen.
>"Do I really have to learn about thisnya? Seems like it could huuuuuurt.">You ask Chen if you have to learn about danmaku, to which she nods. "It's an important part of how Gensokyo's run, without it Gensokyo would be a lot more grim."
>super moe powers go
>"So how exactly would I learn to do this "damuuka" thingy?
> "I see... I think, nyah.">You say that you think you have it, and Chen seems to agree. "That's the basics of it at least.'
>"Thanks Chen-shama~">You thank her like this, and she gets so flustered by the last bit that before you know it she's a cat again! Oh dear.
>Respect for Chen goes up by ten points :V
>i cant take this much moe man parser i'm going to explode from all the moe
>"So, Can you show me what yours looks like Chen-shama? I bet it looks pretty nya">You ask if she'll show you her danmaku, and just as quickly as she turned into a cat, she turned back to her usual...er, girl self.
>Also try concentrating and imagining a shiny magical ball and shoot it somewhere. Not at Chen>You try it, but instead of an orb like Chen's, you fire one that looks almost like a slim javelin!
they better be fucking curvy
>"S-Sorry! I didnt mean toooo~!"
>"I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to nyaaa~!!">Chen seems more shocked at the laser than how close it was.
>Execute a panicking flail.
>"Nyanya! I wanted a ball and it came out as a lazer, nya!">Chen looks puzzled at you response of how you got a laser when you tried to shot a generic orb.
>"Imagine a bigger one now, shoot in a different direction. not at Chen off course
>What is the requirement to level up Danmaku skill?>Simply using it, or any other skill is enough, some skills take more than others though, you simply filled the Danmaku Mastery EXP Bar faster, due to the advanced danmaku you accidentally fired.
>"Can you fire danmaku while a cat nya?"
>"So this is what damaku is, Nya?">You ask if it's danmaku, Chen nods fervently. "Yep yep! those were a bit more advanced than just the orbs too! Lasers are a lot harder to pull off than orbs, or even those diamonds you just shot!"
>"Is there anything else I can do with this?"
>Do we recongize the voice, by any chance?>No, you don't recall this voice at all, how strange. But she doesn't sound to be much older than Chen you think.
>Search around for the thud. Someone's gotta be attacking, or something!>Or possibly bringing food!
>Prod at the black ball. Curiousity beckons!>You jump off the roof and land next to the black ball. A Perfect 10 Point Landing!
>"Oh no! Did I hurt someone, nyaa~?">You express worry that you may have hurt her, and your ears droop some as you do so.
> Droop ears a bit
>"Who's this, nyaa?">You ask Chen about the girl, and the Ball she's encased in.
>Stare at the weird black ball encased around her.
>"Why is there a black ball around Ramia, nyaa?"
>"If she can control darkness, why does she not see where she's going nya?">You remark that it's odd that she can't see if she can control darkness, and instead of Chen responding, Rumia chimes in!
>"Spellcard nya?"
> "She can control darkness, nya?">You express interest in her power over darkness, and unsurprisingly, Rumia chimes in again.
> Excitement~
> "C-Can Chen-shama control anything?"
> "Can I control anything!?"
>Whoops! First off, repeat that first question a little more slowly.>You try repeating the first one again, but slower....But you're still a bit too excited, your mouth is still going a mile a minute!
>Secondly, revert back to humanoid form.
>Notice that you havent had any food yet, correct?>Well, you were talking a mile a minute, up until your stomach growls.
>"Nya, Chen-Shama, do we have any foooood? I'm hungryyyyy"
>"Fish?">You hear the word fish and your ears perk straight up! "Yeah, grilled at that~ But Cirno's been being greedy and not letting anyone get close to the lake to get any, I hear she even got into a fight with that gatekeeper and came out the winner!"
>Ears perk up
>"You said that Cirno was a meanie, right? Can I practice danmaku on her, nyaa~? At least then I'll be hurting someone that deserves it!"
> Hiss at the thought of Cirno
> Deep breaths.>You take a few deep breaths..well, deep as far as your cat body is concerned.
> Make sure we're calm.
> "I was asking what Chen-shama's ability was and if I have one too, nyah."
>"Yeah. Haven't really figured it out, I guess. Then again, maybe it'll just come to me later, nyah?"
>"That's actually kinda cool. How did you find out about your ability nya? Maybe I can learn about it the same way you did?"
>Add quest: Beat up Cirno for food!
>...Go and get Rumia out from that barrel, you dortwagon.
>Decide it'd be funny to kick the barrel rumia's in (softly though, dont wanna hurt her).>You would, but you're still a cat, best you can do is nudge it to make it wobble a bit, muffled noises can be heard coming from within the barrel, and Chen can barely contain her laughter.
>"Wasn't me nya~"
>"Chen-Shama, how do you get spell cards, nya?">You ask Chen about spellcards, she seems to think for a bit. "I think Ran-sama would know more than I do."
>"Also, ah. Can you help me get Rumia out, nyah?">You ask her to help fish out Rumia too, and she helps...by shattering the barrel with a well-aimed arrowhead danmaku! Oh well, that barrel would've fallen apart anyways, it was pretty old.
>"Can you show me one of your spellcards? I wanna see how awesome Chen-shama is!">You ask her about showing you one of her spellcards, and she just grins even more. "I have just the card in mind!"
> Are you still near Miss Ran's house? "But, erm, Chen-Shama, can we go back to your house and grab some food? I think we're all hungry nya."
>Inventory>You currently possess:
>>You ask if this is fighting practice, and Chen shakes her head. "I looks like whatever's wrong with Cirno is affecting them too."A WILD SLIME DRAWS NEAR
>"So I'm guessing this is fighting practice? Ah, thanks Chen-Shama for setting this up for me~"
>GET EQUIPPED WITH: S. CLAWS
>"Ny-Nyaa...g-go away or I'll have to hurt you...">You say this, but I don't think they're too interested right now, they're more frightened of what just happened right now.
>"D-..Do they taste good Chen-shama?">You ask Chen about these things, but she's too busy trying not to lose her lunch.
>"And what's that red stuff...? It kinda freaks me out nya."
>"R-Rumia, did you have to be so mean about it!? I thought danmaku wasn't deadly, nyaa!">You call Rumia out on this, saying that Danmaku isn't supposed to be deadly.
> Sigh, then fire some cute ribbon danmaku at a remaining fairy.
>Do we have any urge to eat living things?>Not really, aside from the usual ones you would expect from a cat, like mice, fish, birds, and the like.
> Oh, of course, but not humanoids. Well, unless they smell really good, but we're a good kitty and don't eat peoples.
> "Still...are you sure you should have ate them? That seems really mean, nyaaa :("
>Look at the red stuff again. It, Strangely, doesnt seem too good for you. Your stomach starts to ache a little>Naturally. And a cute one at that.
>Lucky for you though, You have no lunch to throw up. Just try not to ever think about this again.
>"That was.... owww my stomachhhh..."
>Make a mental note to NEVER be near Rumia when she's hungry.
> "I dunno...I thought you were a good girl like me, nyaaa~ :(">You say this to Rumia, and all it gets you is another trollish chuckle.
>"B-but maybe they'd have run away if you asked! And if they hadn't, y-you could have just shot them, nyaa~">Rumia just laughs. "They're fairies, I know a fairy, they're not that easy to convince to run."
> Ears droop again
>"A-and we were headed to Ran-shama's to get some food anyway, nya :("
> "Are all youkai like you, nya?">You call her out on this, but she just shrugs. "Only the wild ones, I'm what they call a 'Special Case'"
> Say above sadly with a bit of accusation
>Look over at Chen. Do we think she'll be alright?>You glance over at her, and it seems she's stabilized for now.....or not, as it renews itself with fury. "Ugh.....I shouldn't have eaten much if I had known she was gonna pull that..."
> "W-well...I-I'm not sure I like you being so mean...nya">You say this to Rumia, and she seems to be thinking.
> "C-can you try to be nicer next time, nya?"
> Look up hopefully and imploringly.
To Parser: Fairies still come back in your RPG right? I really can't stand children dying.Of course, what did you take me for, a jerkass like Rumia? BV
> Try and help Chen out..somehow...
>Nod, and go to get Chen.
.>You nod to Rumia, walk over, and almost immediately Chen starts petting you and scratching you behind the ears. Oh god that feels sooooo goood....She must be trying to gain a little comfort from the events..
>Lift up Chen-shama gently, and take her to her house. After all, She's prolly tired and I doubt she wants to walk.
>"Ahhh~n, that feels good~~~nyaaaa~"
>Purr, as cutely as possible.>You voice you pleasure with this, and Rumia seems to be a bit more transfixed, while Chen weakly smiles.
>Look over at Rumia.
>Try not to drop Chen-Shama, that wouldn't be nice after all she's done for you>Chen stands up own her own though, so you don't need to help her much, she's a little shaky though. But more importantly, she's not petting you anymore! What do?!
>Hop up on her shoulder! Gently, though. Don't want to tip the poor gal over, though.>You do so! Ah, gently of course.
>"Cmon Chen-shama, lets go home, you look like you need some rest nya">You say that you and Chen should go home, and she nods, shakily walking towards home.
>whisper in her ear loud enough so that rumia could hear you: "Can you do that again sometime?"
>Commence Rumia nosebleed.
>Nuzzle against Chen a little bit. Just 'cause.You do so, and she seems a bit happier. "Heh...thanks Hibachi...."
>"Rumia couldn't join us Nyaa...">You comment sadly on how Rumia couldn't join you and Chen, Chen seems to laugh a bit. "It's fine, we'll find her again. Like it or not, we'll need her help when we go sort Cirno out right?"
>Add slight sadness to the voice.
>Nod, purring softly as you do so.>You do so.
>Tell Ran of the shenanigans that ensued.~BGM: Fluffytails~
>Check and see if you can revert to normal form.
> Transform back to humanoid form.>You already have little kittycat, but you're currently facedown on the floor, Ran is too.
> Ask politely for something to eat.
>Get up and apologize to Ran for that bit of derpery on your part. :s>You do so, and you apologize too.
>"Um...Does she do that all the time? Rumia, I mean?">Ran sighs. "Every single time she gets hungry.Thankfully it's always been any nearby fairy, so it's somewhat dulled by the fact that they never stay dead. I'll be willing to bet that fairy that got eaten earlier today is telling other fairies about some kind of fairy-eating monster. But I've warned Chen in the past not to hang around her too much though, something could go wrong."
>Avoid being too cute. We wouldn't want Ran to die from blood loss.She wont die that easily
>"Err... What in particular do you mean by 'something'?"
>"S-Something? Does Rumia eat cats too?! ... I don't think it would be a good idea to stay around her nya...">You ask Ran, and she replies, "Not even I know what will happen, but given how she's one of the lower-ranking Youkai, I wouldn't put anything past her."
>"Also, ah. I saw her fly away, nya. How does that work? The flying, I mean.">You ask Ran about flight, and she seems somewhat surprised by you asking. "You want to know about flight? Hmm...let me think about someone who can teach you that."
>"Oh, and Miss Ran! Chen showed me damaku today! It was pretty cool. I think she's going to show me something called... Spell cards? I think that was it nya. Seems like fun">You tell Ran about Chen showing you how to do Danmaku, and her mentioning spellcards. And she smiles and ruffles your hair in a very motherly way. "Spellcards...I remember when I made my first spellcard... Perhaps I'll show you one of them in the morning, but for now you should go and get some sleep too, I set up a futon in Chen's room, you'll be using that okay?"
>"I can't wait to see one of Ran's spellcard, nyaa~!"
>"Thank you Miss Ran~">You say that you can't wait to see one of her spellcards, and she just smiles. "Well, it's my simplest one, so you should be able to make one like it later on."
>"Oh, but, where is Chen-shamas room again?"
>Walk off to Chen-shamas room.>You wander off towards Chen's room, looking around in the process.>Have a look around on the way there.>Contemplate if you want to look in that closet she told you not to.
>Maybe another day...
>Walk inside Chen-shamas room and go to sleep
>Rub eyes, make sure not to poke em out.You do so, but you're still pretty tired.
>Get up. Make sure you're still in nekomata form instead of being a cat.
>Tide up the futon, like a nice person, and investigate the strange and interesting noise outside the room.>You tidy up the futon! ...Or you would, if you didn't get tangled up in it.
>Instead of bothering with voices that can see us, let's look around this room while there's no one around to stop us!You can't really walk around it due to being tangled up in the futon, but you do manage to roll around....But you knock something over in the process. Oops?
>Walk into the room. "Hello Miss Ran and Chen-shama!">You can't really walk in, but you manage to roll your way out of Chen's room and to where the voices are, and you greet them from your futon-y wrapping. Upon doing so, Chen notices your predicament and can't help but laugh uproariously! "How'd you manage that Hibachi-chan?"
>"I dunno, nya~!">You say that you have no idea how you managed to get yourself tangled up in your own futon, and Chen just laughs even more, while Ran pulls out a weird-looking thing, not too long after there's a small flash, you're kinda startled by it.
>Roll, roll, roll a bit around in circles.
>"Nya! I'm stuck~">You tell them that you're stuck, and you roll over to them.
>Roll over to them.
>Don't make a beeline for the nearest delicate thing or precarious heavy object.>You're already in the process of getting untangled, thanks to Chen. But you don't know what you knocked over earlier though.
> Work with Chen in getting untangled.
>"But Miss Raaaaan, I'm not a cat, I'm a nekomata. There's a difference nya." Puff out cheeks adorably.>You work with Chen to get untangled, after a bit of struggling on both your parts, you manage to retrieve yourself from the futon. (No retrieve arms from safe jokes, please.)
>"Thanks Chen-shama!"
>"Nyaa, what's LOLcat?">You ask what a LOLcat is, and Ran shows you a picture of a cat with the words 'I can haz cheezburger?' pasted on the bottom, for some reason you find this immensely amusing.
oh my god we're being introduced to the internetIn a way.
>"What's a cheeseburger?"
>"And why cant I stay out of this form! Chen-shama, can you help me go back to the taller me? Pleeeaseeeeenya?"
>be cute
> "Oooo~ Can I see them Miss Ran?">You ask Ran if you can see some of her other LOLcat images, only to be interrupted by a woman with long blonde hair, an aviator's cap with the goggles of it over her eyes, and a purple dress appearing suddenly by walking through something suspiciously like what you and Chen ran into a few days ago.
LOLcat cowboy samurai kitty? ....Hmm
>There's just something about her... You don't want to take any chances with her.>You feel that she's got more power than you can ever imagine, You also wonder if this is the person who wrote the note.
>"Hello Miss~. Are you friends with Chen-shama?"
>"And what's Zeppelin o'clock?"
>"U-Um... Can I come Miss Yukari?">You ask if you can come along too, and Yukari smiles enigmatically. "I don't see why not~"
>"And her master's master? Then who's her master? Nyaaaa, so confusing..."
>Take a second to let your little brain simmer down.
>"You smell... familliar Miss Yukari. Do you know what this note is?"
>Show her the note.
>Be sure to thank her for the note if your suspicions are indeed right :vv>You thank her for leaving you the note, and she simply smiles enigmatically.
>hoo ray>You feel good, you don't know why, but you do.
>"Well, then. That explains things-nyah."
>"Also I have some nyah questions, nyan!">You also say that you have some questions, Yukari responds to this. "Ask away little one~"
>"Is that zeppelin a bird?"
>"And can you eat internet?"
>Head exploding with information....>That's definitely a lot of information to process all at once, especially for your young mind.
>"nyah, nyah..." grip my head.
>Slowly process the info, then shake your head a little to establish 0kayness.>You try to process it all as slowly as possible, and so far it's going okay, so you shake your head a bit to clear it.
Cat's seems to be a very curious creatures, as our Hibachi is. But, since our self can process one question at the time, let's talk for a while.Aye, that they are. I should know as I have one...Though she's getting up there in years. I hope she lasts long enough to become a Nekomata herself.
>"Nyaaaaaa... being a Youkai takes a lot of time learn, so many thing yet to see"
>"This note was intended for me Nyah? I can't read it..."
It would good thing to learn your ABCs while you at it. Social skills are useful for our survival right?
>"U-Um, if you dont mind me asking, could you read it for me Miss Yukari?">You ask Yukari to read you the note, and she smiles warmly. "Of course~"
>You can just TELL she's a victim to adorable things. Be as cute as you can.
>Nah. Let's not. Instead, let's just stretch a little bit. Don't want those bones to get stiff, yanno.>You to stretch a little to loosen up instead of trying to be cute, Chen seems to have gotten that idea too and does the same.
> "Can I see the... sheplen now, nya?">You ask if you can see the 'sheplen' and Yukari chuckles. "It's 'Zeppelin', little one. And yes, I daresay Nitori's finished the maintainence by now."
>How exactly do you plan to be cuter than you already are?Cosplay of course! That would have to wait a little bit though...
>"Skills.... What skills, Yukari-shama?"excuse me while i get some tissues for my nosebleed
>"Skills.... What skills, Yukari-shama?">You ask about skills, and Ran chimes in. "In gensokyo, there are many different powers and skills the residents have, both Humans and youkai alike have them. Some skills you're born with, like danmaku, others you must learn, like how to read, how to cook, and etcetera."
Cosplay of course! That would have to wait a little bit though...That may appear later on, just be patient~ :P
On a second note... since you want skills..
>Try to read read the note yourself not, or just try to make out those weird shapes based on what Yukari-sama said, just secretly, when no one is watching...
Anything other, I hope there would be an opportunity "to learn more skills" it's the shepleen we are going to be looking forward to, maybe... since it's a transportation device, we can... stop by a lake for example :P
>"Okay Miss Yukari~">You smile happily, and Yukari smiles right back.
>"Nyaaa, wait, How long will it take till we get there?"
It must be overwhelming for our hero to be suddenly taken in such situation though...Just a bit.
>"........"
>With both puzzled and scared look on the face, carefully surveillance your surrounding, trying to keep close distance to Ran and Chen-Shama.
> "Coooooooool!">After a while, you get over your initial fear and apprehension, and remark that it's cool! Yukari simply smiles.
> Look around.
> Inspect the kappa.
>"Yukari-Shama, what does &%^$# means? It sounds so.... so.... coool!">You ask what &%^$# means, and everyone but Nitori drops what they're doing to stare at you, Nitori just laughs heartily.
>Also go checking around the ship, trying to find something to do with all this lashy lights, weird knobs, and multicolor buttons.
>Tilt head as a sign of not understanding.>You tilt your head in confusion.
>...Yeah, let's not ask what she means by that.>You think you've goofed enough for one day.
>Instead, just. Go find somewhere to sit down. Might as well just keep out of trouble. :VV
>Meanwhile, to keep us busy, go find a ball of yarn.>You wander off to find a ball of yarn to occupy yourself, as you walk down the halls you walk past a door.
Nitori's pushing it....Somewhat, but there's a reason, one I've already mentioned.
>Don't like the kappa, she made a bad atmosphere
>Contemplate biting the kappa in hopes it will discourage her from being such a mukluk.You wonder if biting Nitori will make her stop being a mukluk....whatever that is. To be honest, you don't even know how you know that word, But you find it funny nonetheless.
>Open door, see who's the strange person.>You decide to open the door, only to find...a storage closet? Then who was talking...?
>We aren't a cat anyways! We're a nekome.. nekomi.. nekomato!
>Maybe there is a mouse inside the closet? We definitely need to check that out!>You wonder if there was a mouse in there, and feel you should look into this.
>I wonder does it smells like a mouse?
Ah god dammit i wanted to be friends with Cidtori. Ah well.
>Investigate further.
>Who the fuck says curiosity killed the cat? Not us. :VV
> Rummage through the closet in our quest for yarn!>You search the closet further, but there isn't much of note aside from a small box. It looks interesting though, wonder what's inside..?
>Try to open the box with your paws...>Why would you want to do that? You're not in cat form. You wonder why you even had that idea.
>Open the box.>You try to open the box, but all you find inside are three blank cards with nothing on them. But they seem important, so you take them.
>If you cant open it, take the box, It's a BOX. How could you NOT want to take it?!
>"I wonder what this is nya~"
On a side note, Any plans for meeting Kogasa? For some reason I've been getting more into her.
>Poke those blank cards. Something might happen!>You poke the blank cards!
>"Could these be spellcards, nyaa~?">You wonder for a moment if these are the spellcards Chen and Ran talked about yesterday.
>Ponder if just running off with them is a good idea?
>Take the cards to Ran and Chen and ask if these are shpel cards!
Interesting..>You consider leaving the cards there, but then you wonder about asking Ran and Chen about them. So you decide to hold on to them for the time being, so you can show them the cards.
I am going to leave them there.. you guys can actually consider if it's ok to pick them up
>I wonder is there is something else in the closet, like something to write..
>Maybe somewhere else? Let's go exploring even more!
>Also ask Ran for advice on those thing, that appear to be Shpeel cards.
>Avoid showing these cards to Nitori. We don't want to get into more trouble.>You've already got the cards stashed safely in your clothes, you don't think they could be easily spotted.
>Do something about that speech impediment.I just ignore the "impediment".
>Also make sure that Chen and Ran aren't obviously busy before bothering them.
>Walk up to Chen-Shama and Miss Ran.>You would, if they were still on the bridge. Yukari doesn't seem to be there either.
>"Chen-shama, I got these card thingys. Though they're blank... What are they fornya?"
>"Miss Nitori~ Did you see where Chen-shama and her friends went~?">You ask Nitori where Chen and everyone else went, she jumps a bit. "#$&%$^! ..Oh, it's just you kiddo. Where did they go? Try the cafeteria, I'd be willing to bet that they're having tea right now."
Then...>After being told that they might be in the cafeteria, you thank Nitori and wander off.
>Left alone? No problem! Time to do anything we want! Like... searching for Chen, Ran and Yukari around the ship.
Or ask Cidtori.. but I rather not....
>Gather our courage, and walk to Nitori!
>"M-May I ask you a questionya....."
>Go back and ask Nitori. She seems like a nice person, if you putting aside the bad language.
>It also doesnt bother you much. Plus she's smart.
>We can do it, the ship exploration isn't going to take forever, plus.. we could try to follow the Tea's scent, since we are a Nekomata, A Youkai with heightened senses, we can use to move around. If we of course scent anything...>You consider going back to ask Nitori, but then you remember you can just track things down via scent!
> Have a look out the window.>You look out the window, and below you see a large, mist-shrouded lake, with a large and imposing-looking building not too far away.
> This window isn't an actual hole, is it?>No, when you tried to reach through while looking out, your hand hit glass. Meaning that it's a sealed window.
> Take in the scene and forget about all our worries.>You stare out through the window for what feels like hours...But suddenly, a purple umbrella with a single eye and a long red tongue appears outside the window, causing you to jump back in shock!
> Blast it with your danmaku in surprise!>You fire off some danmaku in surprise! ...But it bounces off the window and hits you. Ow?
>Run panicky to Ran and Chan-Shama.>You run off panicking in a random direction, frightened by the sight of the umbrella and the sting of your own danmaku!
>Flail heavily and explain what you saw to them if we found them.
>Abandon all thoughts of convincing Nitori to let us steer. For now.>You decide to not ask Nitori to let you pilot the airship...for now.
>"Nyaa?! W-Weren't you suppose to be the one driving this ship nyaa?!">You voice your surprise at how she's not driving the airsip, Nitori just grins. "Autopilot! Drives the airship for me."
>Calm down... and drink the tea.
>Give a thousand yard stare toward the food.>You stare at the food blankly, yet longingly. Nitori notices this and passes you a bowl filled with rice and topped with fish, cucumber slices, bits of fried egg, and tempura shrimp. "That's today's special."
>Demonstrate why we need to be taught table manners posthaste.
>Check if the food is edible first>You check to see about edibility...after having devoured half the bowl without any form of eating utensils. But it seems relatively edible though.
>Ask Chen-shama about the cards you found.>You pull out the cards to ask Chen about them, but Nitori notices. "Eh, where'd you find those blanks?"
>Make sure your mouth is full. Talking with our mouths full is a GREAT idea!
>You check to see about edibility...after having devoured half the bowl without any form of eating utensils. But it seems relatively edible though.This is the result of not giving chopsticks with the bowl... But at least we don't get food poisoning right...?
>Chen giggles at your manners...or lack thereof, Ran just sets her head on the table exasperatedly, and somewhat forcefully I might add. Nitori just chuckles to herself.
This is the result of not giving chopsticks with the bowl... But at least we don't get food poisoning right...?
>"Not yet engraved, Nyaa?"
>Also.. when we are done with eating, wash hands, or at least try to overcome your natural fear of water...
>"Engrave, nya?"
>Arent spellcards supposed to be stronger danmaku? So now you're a super strong nekomata?
>GET HYPED
>What's a chopstick.Cidtori's at fault there on the chopsticks, so much for being a genius huh? But the food is safe.
>Lick the bowl clean when done.
>Ask Cidtori where you can find a bathroom.
>Have we even taken a shit in two days worth of being alive? That's not healthy.
>We, as in people we are talking to, are not alone on the airship?>You ask
>Yeah, people on the ship is actually a pretty sizable detail and should be included with area descriptions and stuffs. We could use them resources. =[>They were always there, you were just too occupied to pay attention to them until Nitori brought the double-doors to your attention. :V
>Try to get a peek through the double doors.
>Nothing is obvious in Gensokyo parser. ;3>You decide to leave the double-doors and the tasty smells coming from them to head to the restroom.
>Go to the bathroom, do your bsnz.
>"Chen-shama, where did Miss Yukari go? Did someone kidnap her or somethingnya?"
>"Nyah... let's stretch out a little bit this domestic activities makes me wanna fire Danmakunya, Chen wanna come?">You mention to Chen that you're starting to feel cooped up, and want to try some danmaku practice out on the deck, she nods. "After we've finished here with the sweets-nya! I like these a lot." She hands you a tricolor dumpling skewer with a big grin on her face.
>As in go out of dining room, on ships deck, where there is fresh air and much of Danmaku can be fired without damaging the ship
Dude I fucking love you for adding Cidtori in here. <3You really think she'd keep a lid on it for long? :smug:
>Eat the sweet that Chen-shama gave us.
>"Is there anything else that you think I might likenya?"
>"I also need to learn how to fly. And what mountain?"
>We seem to be getting at handling getting confused. Rank Up?
Yes, What is hard with learning how to fly anyways? Also...Well, You didn't start out knowing how to walk when you were born right? Same goes for Youkai and flight, they too need to learn it.
>"Nyaa... I wanted to see those Shpell cards.. Chen-shama, have you brought your with you, so I can seenya?"
> "Ohh~ I see, nya!"
> Wait with an expectant look until Chen is finished.
> Might as well dig in to the stuff offered to us while we wait.
>EATEATEATEAT>You say that you get it, and decide to wait for everyone else to finish.
>We are one god damned hungry cat.
>"Nya, what kind of connections, Miss Nitori? Will it be fun?"
>"I bet Chen-shama has the best spellcards in the world~"
>Who are those random other ppl anyways... they payed for the trip or something? And since when Yukari is running... what is money? what is business? what is transportation and tourism?!? tooo confusing...>They're the crew, though you're still having trouble wrapping your head around some things.
>"What's a good way to pass the time? Is there any sort of game we could play or something?">"Where is Yukari-Shama? Anyone know Nyat?"
>"Tasty food, nya!">You say that the food's pretty tasty, and Not only Chen smiles, but Ran and Nitori too.
>"What's a good way to pass the time? Is there any sort of game we could play or something?"
>"Where is Yukari-Shama? Anyone know Nyat?">You ask about a good way to pass the time, and Nitori replies. "The Tengu have a lot of $%^#&* things to try, like Dice games, card games, and a lot more."
>"Card games?>You ask what card games are, and about 'tan-goo', Nitori laughs. "It's 'Tengu'. A few folks I know are Tengu. As for the card games, they're hard to explain, not even I know the details behind 'em."ON KITTYCYCLES"
>"Nya? What's a tan-goo? Is it tasty?"
hmm any Shmups or video games though...? :PWe'll see~
>Nya.h... I do not know of any of them... "
> "Sounds fun though!">You say that it sounds fun though, while smiling the biggest smile you can manage.
> RADIANT KITTY SMILE.
Assuming Chen is not occupied with constantly eating until she feels sick of it.>You ask what to do now, Chen just shrugs.
>"Shooooo what we do, Nya?"
>Seems like talking with Cidtori is out of the question now.>You think maybe Nitori isn't in the mood to talk right now.
>Add Quest: Games, Tangoo, Mountains, Oh my! Find out what these games are, how to play them, and if you can play them with Chen-shama. Along the way, you may find out about these Tangoo thingys, and there's a mountain. On second thought, the mountain seems kinda scary when you think about it...
>"Are we almost there yet Chen-shama?"
>Look at Nitori's sweets. Do they look good to us at all?
>If so, pounce her and steal her sweets.
>You look at Nitori's sweets, they look sorta tasty, and you consider pouncing her for them, but you opt to just stare at them.>Look at Nitori's sweets. Do they look good to us at all?> We're not a bad kitty, don't do that. Although do stare at the sweets. Staaaaare~ O.O
>If so, pounce her and steal her sweets.
>Look out of the window to see if we are there yet.>You wander over to the the nearest window, and see a large mountain approaching. This must be the mountain
>Too many sweets wont be healthy~>You wonder if it's good to be eating all these sweets.
>Try to find a way to pass the time. Maybe talk with Chen-shama?
>Get excited. Get REALLY excited.>You get pretty dang excited!
>"I can see the mountains nyaa~!"
>while the umbrella is distracted, take it if possible.
>If not, SHOOT IT TO HELL AND BACK AND BACK AGAIN.
> Rage at umbrella.
>Open window, fire Danmaku at umbrella thing>You rage at the umbrella, surprising even Nitori with your colorful choice of words! &%*$#@@&!
>Invalid Command< (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A&feature=related)
>With all your nekomata might...
>PUNCH THE WINDOW THE &%$@ OPEN!
>"YOU SON OF A #$%@&! GET THE %@$# OVER HERE! I'LL @$&^ING KILL YOU YOU PIECE OF @#&$!"
>Proceed to rape the fuck outta that god damned umbrella.
>Sigh in disappointment.>You sigh disappointedly, while muttering to yourself about that umbrella.
>"Stupid nyumbrella..."
>"This umbrella came out of nowhere on this window too! Nya! It scared me so much...">You tell Chen about the Umbrella, and she just grins. "It was eggplant-colored wasn't it? That was probably Kogasa-nya."
>Walk over to Chen, terrified.
>"Can we make an umbrella-seeking Spellcard, Chen-sama?">You ask about an umbrella-seeking Spellcard, but Chen and Nitori seem unnerved. "Bad idea-nya." "Yeah, there's more than a few strong youkai who carry umbrellas, Yukari's one of them."
>"Why the NYGHT window are bolted?">You ask why the windows are bolted in. "Not everyone can fly, some of the humans who work aboard this %&$# Airship are examples of that."
>Also, check if those bolts can be unscrewed, Ask Cidtori for necessary tools if possible.
Do we get resistance if we continue to shot ourselfs?
>Make mental note to fight that umbrella one day.>You decide to make a note to fight that umbrella...maybe.
>You really hate that umbrella.
>"Who else has umbrellas? That Kogusa person, Miss Yukari... Is that it?"
>Wonder off, try to find objects that would resemble an Umbrella on the ship.>You tell Chen to tell Ran that you're going to explore more, and will probably be back when the airship docks. "Okay-nya~"
>Make sure to tell Chen and Ran-Shama that you are going, and probably will be back when the ship will reach it's destination.
Pro tip: Do you get resistant for bullets of a gun if you shoot yourself in the leg often? Or do you get immune to car accidents if you get smashed enough times? No. you don't.Thanks for covering that for 'em.
And congrats to Kasunagi-No-Tsurugi for getting the 9th post back on page 9, I've put that off for far too long.
Btw for future notice, How does ">Open window, shoot works" because it is mostly logical you do one after the other, not everyone at once. If you can't open window you should not shoot, because those conductions were not meet.Because its just ohsofucking ADORABLE to see her forget theres a window and hit herself with danmaku.
I am just asking for future notice...

>Giant flowers? Well, There's just something about flowers...>You think about the giant sunflower for a bit.
>You like flowers. Simple.
>Maybe ask Nitori is that sunflower is related to that "crazy sunflower girl"?
>You decide to keep wandering on your merry little way, and soon find yourself back at the bridge of the Airship.: smug :
> Keep exploring~
When you fail to open the window, a change of plans occurs. You want to open the window and shoot but when you fail in the first step (opening the window), the second step ceases to be executed.Ceases to be executed properly you mean.
> Find nearest window and press face against it.You find the nearest window and press you face against it to see what's out there.
> Attempt to ask if we're there yet.
>"Nyaaa, that sunflower looks preeeetyyyy~. Can we go and see it?">You mention the giant sunflower, and Chen responds. "That's where the sunflower lady lives, it's called 'The Garden of The Sun'. She's kinda scary though..."
>How are you supposed to get closer to it anyways... Wait... Didn't Chen-shama mention something about flying a while back?
>"Why is the flower lady scary, nyaa? Flowers are suppose to be pretty!">You ask why the flower lady's scary, and voice your puzzlement on that. Yukari replies.
>Stare at the weird looking hatwearing-dwellers.
>...Ask Nitori about those flying folks.
>"So.. If I had wings Nya, I would be able to fly too? Coooooool!">You ask Chen about flight, and how it would be possible if you had wings, Chen just grins, and Nitori barely suppresses a chuckle.
>Try to catch scent of flowers.
>"Can I get one of those hats Chen-shama?">You ask Chen about those hats, and if you could get one for yourself. "Those are special hats made for the Tengu-nya. You'd have to ask their boss about that."
>...Back away from the window.>You back away from the window a bit.
>"D-Dogs, nya?"
>Do we even have any sort of headgear?You have the small ribbon, but that's all you have in the way of headgear.
>"Nyaa... Can I have a hot or something like everyone else...?"
>Make a cute scared face expression>You seem kinda scared, and that's cute.
>"Nyaaa? Bu.....t Yukari-shama, Flower lady is scary, she wants to eat me, is that it?"
>"Shees?"
>"LAAAAAND HOOOOO~!">
It figures...Spur of the moment deal I think...
>"Nya.. Why are we here again? I... forgot.."
But it is true, I don't remember why we went to the mountain in the first place....
> Try to keep steady despite the rumbling.>You try to keep steady despite the rumbling, and do a so-so job of it, you lose your balance a little every so often, but quickly recover it before falling.
> Head over to Chen-shama so we don't get lost while disembarking.
>Anything else to note before we land?>Nothing much, aside from the large crowd that's gathered around the airship.
>"LAAAAAND HOOOOO~!"
>You just felt like saying that loudly for some reason.
>Nitori's captain instincts are rubbin' off.
>"Nya.. Why are we here again? I... forgot..">You ask why you're there again, and Chen shrugs. Yukari just smiles enigmatically as she has been for a while now.
But it is true, I don't remember why we went to the mountain in the first place....
>>You ask Yukari what the plan is, but she doesn't respond with anything other than that same damn enigmatic smile.you mean hourai'd
>"Miss Yukari, What are we going to do now~"
>Leave the ship withscoob and the gangChen-shama Miss Ran and Miss Yukari.
>Whisper to Chen-Shama>You ask Chen quietly about Yukari, and if she has any reasons for bringing you to the Mountain. Chen just shrugs. "She's always like this-nya, not even Ran-sama can really tell what goes on in her mind. And the last time Orin-san's master tried to find out, she was in a funk for a whole year! Orin-san's master I mean, not Yukari-sama."
>"Is Yukari-Shama always like this? Anything she might be hiding on purpose, something for me to do for her?"
>"Nyaa I can't wait till you show me how to fly~ "
>Look around for the dogs.... It's important that we look around for dogs BEFORE anything else.>You look for dogs, but all you see are the various Tengu going about their business, and the occasional person dressed like Nitori running about. Some of the Tengu take a few glances at you and the rest, but they don't seem too interested.
>"What can I learn from the flower ladynya?
>"Orin-Shama? Is she a friend of yours, Chen-Shama?"I dont think a cat can pronounce a J sound.
>"And who was that other person that trained with the Fhlowahedy?"
>"Orin-Sjama? Is she a friend of yours, Chen-Sjama?"
>"And who was that other person that trained with the Fjlowajedy?"
I don't think a cat can pronounce a J sound.>You ask about Orin, Chen smiles. "Orin's a cat like us! But she's not a nekomata like us, she's a Kasha. But she's really fun to hang out with-nya! Even when she's doing her job down in the underground."
>"When can I get to fly... I wanna do it nooooooooow~"
>Something had just poped into you mind>You ask Nitori why Kappa and Tengu would be out at the Garden, Nitori just shrugs. " First off, it's 'Tengu'. And secondly, nobody really heads out there without a good reason. I don't even go out there much if I can help it. But...there are two Tengu who go out there for kicks, but they're reporters, a weird sort who almost seem to live off danger. Most of the older youkai like that sunflower broad, and Yukari here, are relics of an age when youkai fought for keeps, none of this nonlethal stuff. Back before the spellcard system was invented."
>"Miss Nitori-Shama, do you know what were Kappa and Tengo were doing back in the "Garder of the sun?"
>"Can you tell me about that sometime Miss Yukari? It sounds interestingnya"
>Proceed.
>Proceed....>You ask Yukari to tell you about all that sometime, and she just smiles. "Maybe when you're older Hibachi."
Also do we get a quest to investigate why there are Tengu and Kappa in the Garder of the sun? They live there now or what...?
>Flap arms very hard, then jump. Hopefully we'll fly!>In the meantime, you try to fly by jumping while flapping your arms. it doesn't do much aside from getting a laugh out of Chen, Nitori, and the Wolf Tengu. "That's not how you fly."
>Repeat if failed. Keep doing so until we manage to fly.
>"It's not nya?">You ask why it isn't, in a very puzzled way. "Nope, there's a different way. Seeing as how you guys are heading to see the boss, maybe you can find out from him."
>Tilt head.
>...Hide behind Chen. Be careful of that dog...
>"I-I'm Hibachi, nya...">You tell Momiji your name. "Hibachi huh? That's a kinda cute name there."
>Stay shy.
>"What's a wolf? a big dog?"
>"So that means you're a moron?"
>Huggle Chen. This dog is too scary...
On a Not that would get us killed.>You voice this comment, and Momiji just facepalms. A lot of people seem to do that around you, wonder why?
>Whisper to Chen
>"Chien-Shama, Momisi-Shama is not the only one that knows how to fly right? Nya, I bet you can teach me flight too~"
>It's soft and cuddly...
>Wait, What are we thinking, we're a good nekomata!
>"N-Nyaaaa!"
>push away (in an adorable fashion)
>"Why do people slap their face when I say something so often nya!?'>It was pretty soft...
>"Anya?"
>Take a look at Chen when we're back at her. "W-Why did you push me to the dog!?"
OK.... still proceed with the plan then.... I will take a note of that in future though...No need to lack confidence bro, just go with the flow! 8)
>"I-I'm not afraid! I was just shocked... that's all..."
>CUTENESS OVERLOAD ACTIVATEEEEEEEEEEEE
>No need to go overload with the cuteness.>You mention that were just shocked. Chen giggles like a loon, as she's been doing for a while now.>"Who is Anya?"
> Deep breaths. Gotta settle ourselves.>You take a few calming breaths, and it manages to calm you down a little bit, but your heart is still racing from the 'incident'.
> Look around.
> "N-nya.... So much to take in..."
>Jump back>You jump back in surprise! And ask Momiji to not scare you like that, she seems kinda embarrassed when you look at her. "Oh, uh..sorry."
>"N-Nya! Dont sneak up on me like that...."
Yayyyy for shyness.
Sorry, I wanted to make our nekomata to say Aya, but added the 'nya' to the end instead of 'ya'Ah, my mistake. Still getting the hang of parsing, even after 19-something pages.
>"...There aren't dogs in the village, right? Right?"
>"You aren't a dog... So I guess you're okay..."
> MOMIJI EQUIPPED. PLUS TEN DEFENSE.
>"...Can I trust you to protect me, nyaa?">You mention that she might be okay, since she's not a dog, and you ask her if you can trust her to protect you. "I'll do what I can."
>Cute face toward Momisi, we need all protection we can get against them dogs!
Still... the pressing matter is this>You wander over to Chen quite pleased with your new acquisition, and whisper to her in asking if Momiji's not the only one who can teach you how to fly.
>Whisper to Chen
>"Chien-Shama, Momisi-Shama is not the only one that knows how to fly right? Nya, I bet you can teach me flight too~"
On another front
>What is this weird game, that is so popular? Try looking into it.
>After having been told this by Chen, you wander over to all the tables where the Tengu and people dressed like Nitori are playing that weird game. Nitori notices you, and motions for you to come over to where she's sitting.Well associating the word Kappa with race would probably be those "dressed like Nitori people", means that we can probably just call them Kappa from now on...
Well associating the word Kappa with race would probably be those "dressed like Nitori people", means that we can probably just call them Kappa from now on...
>Call "dressed like Nitori people" Kappa from now on.
>Proceed to Nitori, "Yes Miss Nitori-Shama? It wasn't my fault that..."
>Have a seat at the table>Maybe the people dressed like Nitori are Kappa too? You'll have to remember to ask Nitori that sometime.
>"Nyathing Miss Nitori-Shama">You say that it's nothing, Nitori just looks at you oddly. She's probably wondering what you were trying to say.
>"Let's go something else, this is boring.. Nyaaaaaaa *yawn*"
>"Paycheck-Shama is sure more interesting Nya. *nod* Look how fast she flies! I wanna fly as fast as she is Nya!"
>"Is Himekaidou-sama really a princess?">You ask if Hatate's a princess, but Nitori just busts out laughing. "Her? A princess? Kiddo, you've got a knack for comedy. She's no more a princess than you or I are, which is to say that she isn't."
>"When do I learn how to fly~?" Flap arms again.>You ask when you'll learn how to fly, along with flapping your arms for emphasis, and Nitori chuckles. "The Leader of the Tengu, Lord Tenma, might be able to help you with that a lot easier than most of the others, There's also that Wind Goddess up at the peak, but she might have a bit too large of a presence for you kiddo."
>Stare at Hatate.
>...Pounce and hug her in sign of a greetings!
Well that is when you leave your kids alone for some reason... Where is Chen?She's wandering around, as young ones are oft to.
>"Nyaaaaa, Miss Nitori-shama, you wanted to talk about something?">"What is up with those metal things everyone is having around? They seem to acknowledge one's status, consequently setting up for interaction and regulations by the ones with most power. Wouldn't it be more fair to give everyone the same amount, not relaying on some random factors such as games, which can be exploit by the ones knowing the rules behind it?"
>Also look for Chen, also ask Chen or Nitori-Shama about why does Momiji is the best candidate to teach us flying, since they both probably could explain us how to...
> "Nitori-shama, are those people that're dressed like you Kappa too, nya?">You ask Nitori if all the people dressed like her are Kappa too, and she nods. "Most Kappa tend to wear outfits like these, on accounts of how practical they are. Most Kappa are Engineers, Technicians, Inventors, or Repairers. I fall under the Inventor type, but I'm also an Engineer."
>"Presence Nya? How do you check a 'Presence'?>You ask Nitori how to check a Presence. "You don't really need to do anything special, you just can, it's always active. I suppose if you concentrated on a particular one you could use it to find someone."
>"I'll visit you whenever I get a chance! Nya!"
>"...What's a workshop."
>"Thank you for the map miss Nitori-Shama! Nya, can I call you Nitori-Shama from now? *Cute eyes stare*">You thank Nitori for the map, among mentioning other things, and look at her cutely too. "Nah, don't worry about it kiddo. The way I see it, you'll be needing that if you're gonna be here on the Mountain. And just Nitori is fine, all my friends call me that. Though there's this one ocean ghost who insists on calling me Kapp'n, but she's a little weird. If you want to find her yourself, then your best bet is heading to the Human Village, but it's way too far for you to walk right now."
>"I am sorry, Nyan, but I must go now. Bye bye, Nitori-Shama! Thank you very much for your help! *Bow down your head*"
>Also search for Chen, or just scan for her presence.
>Also can we sense anyone's presence, like Nitori-Shama can?
>Also check if Momisi is slacking under the tree, and and ask her about paycheck/Hatate-Shama.
>Too much information from Momisi, *brain overload*.>You stare blankly for a few moments with a very confused expression. Momiji waves a hand in front of your face to see if you're okay. "Hey, you alright?"
>"Can you teach me how to fly as fast as Paycheck-Shama? I mean... Ha-ta-te-Shama."
>"Shogi, Nya Momisi-Shama, Why people play this game? It's sooo confusing, Nya."
>"Are Shrine maiden Tengu, Nya?"
>"A reporter, Nya? Is that someone that flies a lot? *smile in excitement*"
>"Why it might be hard getting an audience with ...."
Momisi seems to... be too informative Nya..... Lord Tenma might be both sexes, no official info that I am aware of... even a quick glance at fanart... I don't know even... You can't worry about common sense in Gensokyo, right?
>You supress the urge to cry out a bit, even though you have a splitting headache.>Wow, that headache sure is a doozy isn't it?
>"Nyaaa~. Where did Chen-shama go tooooo~?"
>"Y-You mean there's someone who's a god?! Up here?! ... I shouldn't be a bad nekomata around here, huh...">You look at Momiji with a worried expression, mentioning your apprehension over the fact that there's a god on the mountain, Momiji just ruffles your hair. "Apparently there's two actually, and rumor has it the Shrine Maiden up there's a descendant of one of them. But that's just a rumor, and you've heard how popular rumors are among most Tengu. But personally, I don't put much stock behind them."
>Not that we were bad in the first place.
Yes.... let's check the shrine of "wind goddess?" My cat instincts tells me that it is there where Yakumo family went... We can get presence bonus if we get them to walk with us to Lord Tenma>You act shyly and ask Momiji about seeing if you can fly, Momiji just smiles. "You'll have to learn it though."
>"Momisi-Shama... It is fun to talk with you and all, Nya, but I really wanna see can I fly, without... wings *Shy*"
>"Momisi-Shama, can we go to the shrine together? I have a feeling Ran-Shama might be there, and she would be able to talk Lord Tenma into learning me flying, Nya~"
>"What are gods, Momisi-Shama?"
>"Can I have a look at the newspaper Momisi-Shama *Peaks*"
Also I don't want just to decide for everyone.. that might be interested.. so Lord Tenma or Mountaintop shrine first?Hmm... I think we should at least try for Lord Tenma as the Shrine can be more easily accessible in the case that we can't learn to fly from him. Might as well try for the more difficult place first right? Plus there is always the potential for a nice bonus from either of these paths and the tougher one might yield a nicer reward. :3

Plus there is always the potential for a nice bonus from either of these paths and the tougher one might yield a nicer reward. :3Probably both routes might have Ran and Chen... and Yukari maybe, also Nitori said Lord Tenma, however... since Shrine is more likely to let us in, and might even help with Lord Tenma afterwords, it could be quite possible to learn flying from there, on top of other things, like... clawing Sanae along the way...
> Check the paper for interesting pictures!>You look at the newspaper, and there's a pretty big one on the front page. It's of a green-haired woman with a parasol that looks like a flower. Wonder who she is..?
>Proceed with Momisi "off-work" Shama>You and Momiji decide to exit the outpost. Once outside, Momiji pipes up. "So, you want to head to the shrine huh? I suppose it's okay, even though the Shrine Maiden there's a bit...'strange'.."
>Hold on to the newspaper, if anything it can be used as toilet paper, or.. something that actually would help in learning reading.
Cat form give us something?Smaller Hitbox, higher Speed, lower Physical Attack, and locks the Danmaku command until you learn the skill that lets you use Danmaku in Cat Form.
OK! to our heroic efforts then!
>Hide behind Momisi-Shama and spam Danmaku, not that her..... but on those strange balls of fur. (at A)
>Spam danmaku at A for a bit.>You jump behind Momiji and fire off a cloud of Danmaku from behind her, but a few of them Graze her. "Watch where you're shooting! Kids these days..."
>After confusing it, Go in for a laser beam. If you can, that is.
Do we have any mana?
>*Push Momisi* "Common, you not gonna sit here all day are you?"
>Advance and crush the enemy! ~Hungry and angry cat「Missing chopsticks」(If we can... otherwise quick hit and run on A)
>Fire off a lot of danmaku as a somewhat of a wall. Once close, Let your cat instincts come to life and claw that shit up. By shit, I mean A.>You nudge Momiji to join the fight, she shakes her head. "Have some confidence! You can take 'em yourself!" Momiji pushes you back into the fray!
>Jump back and fire MORE DANMAKU.
>"Sorry Miss Momiji!"
hmm is it possible we can get some names on Shpell cards plssss~?
>Run around the stunned enemies in circles, that they hit each other, in cat form.
>After that, BAM Danmaku!
>Try to use that spellcard behind them.Nope, Spellcards are revealed as they activate~ Look forward to next unlock!
>Daze them before using the spell, if possible.
>Don't forget to keep firing danmaku.
ohfuckohfuckohfuckOHFUCK
>Try to fire out a small curtain of Danmaku, And prep some energy for a lot of lasers.
>Make sure you have a spellcard in hand, to bomb it out in case.
>How do you know these terms? You seem more experienced then you should...
>"Miss Momiji, If I need help, will you come?"
>Yes is it's just running at us, kite it with combination of cat dodge and Danmaku. (Kite as... general RPG term, that means keep distance and shot)
> If it gets too close, kitty dash away to a safe distance and continue to attack in human form.>You respond to it by firing a small cloud of Danmaku towards it, and all the shots hit! ...But it doesn't seem affected in the least. So you prepare to fire some lasers!
HOLY SHITTING ASS MONSTERS DID THAT THING JUST TAKE OFF 33% OF OUR HEALTH
>That hurt. That hurt a lot. Owwie~
> Concentrate all your energy into this. Make lasers to the left, right, and above of the red thing. Fire a giant volley of danmaku right at it, and use your spellcard. Go in for a melee attack if its staggered/weak.
>If all else fails, kick it in the fact and leap away.
Oh what ever... we did not run around, but keep distance, for something like this happening....It's a boss, what did you expect? Oh, by the way, that was just a glancing blow, not quite a graze, but not quite a direct hit either.
>By Thousands Nyans, the cat demands, to smite this foe, with colourful lights!
>Also make sure that it is dead by making a cage over him, in case it wants to do something else in near future.
>If all fails, run behind or on a tree, and use something to cover the Danmaku for us maybe...
> Keep an eye on greeny, but don't take him.
> If possible, move through the gaps in the danmaku towards the kedama to get close enough to fire off a couple point-blank lasers, but not close-enough that we wouldn't be able to dodge.
If we sit back and watch for a sec, Would we regain any health?
>If not, Join in the fray, but stay at a distance.
We totally had this not this cosplayer shows up... Damn I would kill her on sight but not on this power level.. we will get to this eventually right now.You would, but it'd be much slower than out of combat, and this is a boss fight. do the math.
>"Nya, Cosplay?"
>Make the Kedama dizzy again, by cat form daze method, After that, blow it up.
Momiji falls out of a tree nearbyI would too...
I would too...
>Remember the smell of that .. Person we have no idea who she is...
>Victory dance
>Hug Momisi
>Lick bruises
>"Nyaaaaaaaaa, how long yet to shrine? I don't know if I can hold another of this weird Cosplayer thing encounter"
>Hug Momiji.
>"That thing hurt me nyaaa!"
>Look at the ring we recently got. Does it seem safe to wear?
>sniffle...>You manage to catch some of the armored person's scent before it fades completely, it smells like insects...Fireflies maybe?
>"W-What's a 'Kamean Reeder' Miss Momiji?"
>"Waaah... it hurts..."
super kawaii desudesudesu operation is a go.
>Does this iron ring go into our inventory like the items we already have, or does its large size mean that we have to carry it by hand?>It is fairly large, but you may be able to loop it around one of your arms, like a coil of rope.
>Ask Momiji if she seen this ring before, before messing around with it.>You ask Momiji if she's seen it before, she shakes her head. "I hear that one of the Goddesses up at the Shrine uses something like that, maybe she'd know more?"
>>You mention that the Ring's pretty, and Momiji nods.strangle self get game over. continue? warning, if you do, you cant save a replay.
>"It's pwetty..."
>Try to put it on your wrist
>"Nya, do I look cute?"
>does this make my butt look fat. and why is that man named kips having a giant nosebleed all over the place
so wait the tengu village is the big apple? makes sense.
>"Pwuahhhh.... Its a really big place~"
>Put the ring back on. It's pwetty after all.
>"Should we look around for a bit, or should we go to Miss God's shrine? Its up to you, wise Miss Momiji!"
>Salute
We're a brave little kitty.Yes, Yes you are.
Do we have any way to restore our stamina as of now?
>"Miss Momiji, You go do what you have to. Just point me in the direction of the shrine please~"
>"Maybe I can wait out here, while you do what you gotta do? I'm a patient girl, after all.">You say that you can wait out here at the gate, while Momiji goes to do what she has to, and Momiji laughs. "Don't think it'd work. Then again, the folks at the shrine should be told about it too, seeing as how it might impact the ammount of folks that come to the Shrine for worship."
On a side note, It doesnt seem like anything interesting is going to happen until we get to the shrine, is that why you're only taking one persons voets instead of two?
>A newspaper? Seems pretty cool.>A newspaper huh? Might be interesting you think.
>"Nya, who works for Miss Aya? She seems like a pretty cool person. Runs a newspaper, has a cool name, and is a tengu. And she must be so good that she has her own rival too!"
>Well, Follow Momiji's lead.
Also, I cant go to bed because stomach cramps and I cannot sleep because of them.
> Nod>You nod and follow Momiji in.
> WE ARE TOO TIRED FOR WORDSand too moe
>"Don't tengu fly around all day?"
>Open the strange can, and digest it's contains.>You ask if Tengu fly all day, and Momiji nods. "Usually, and before we met, I was flying all over taking care of a few things."
>Can't... stand... the filth.... Starts cleaning the house.
>*Give a disgusted look at Momisi"
>"That means you are not looking forward to help? Momisi-Shama, you can't live in this state like this!"
>Try to find some.. extra cleaning countermeasures, maybe pick objects by newspaper we got?
>Once we collect trash into some kind of container, it there anywhere we can deposit it outside? Go Ecological! Have plastic bags into one group and such.
>Try to organize all her needed things into a pile (with her undies unseen at the bottom per request).>You give what you think is a disgusted look at Momiji, but she just chuckles. "I told ya, save the cute stuff for that fox."
>Throw out all the cans and unneeded things. Dont throw out anything before asking though.
>"Cleaning time~"
> Satisfied sigh.
> Head back inside.
> "Now that this place is clean, can we head to the shrine, nya?"
>Skill Learned: House Cleaning!
>"That takes care of that stuff.. didn't hurt that much to clean up place from time to time, Nya?">You sigh in a satisfied way, and head back inside.
>"Look a the time, Momisi, shouldn't we head out?"
>Also your stomach reminds you of something.....
>"Momisi, have you something to eat?"
>Also make sure... it comes with chopsticks...
>"You saw that Cat Momisi?">You ask Momiji if she saw the cat....Right as she lands. "Cat? Only cat I see here is you."
>Proceed
> Keep headin' up the stairs.>Count steps while moving up the stairs
ok...The path to the village from the landing was more twisty, you encountered the Kedama in a somewhat open stretch.
on A more noticeable note, the paths, geographicly, to Tengu palace and Shrine were the same from the Airship landing?
> Keep an eye out for kitties.
> Keep headin' up the stairs.
>Count steps while moving up the stairs>You keep an eye out for other cats, but you don't see any. You see a few Fairies and Kedama roving through the forest though, but they don't seem to be that interested in you.
> How much farther?
> "These stairs are long, nya."
>Concentrate on... hmm yea...>You wonder how much further it is to the shrine.
Decision making situation is required for an output
>Nya... focus... what is wrong with my head?
> Stop and point the girl out to Momiji.>You try to focus, but if anything, the mysterious girl just fades even more.
> "Who's that?"
Wild life.. but more importantly... ROSES!
>Observe and learn
>"I Swear! There is something strange happening, and we might be in a lot of trouble. Keep your eyes peeled Momisi!
>"Also, these roses smell! They were not here Momisi! Nya!"Roses, a mysterious girl who doesn't seem to actually be there, are you picking up on it~?
>It sure something to look into.. but now? WE have to learn how to FLY first....
>"Momisi... I am sure that taking action.. Nyan.. want to take care of this first before we move on?"
>Also you wonder about strange names that you never heard before, and do not know that it is something wrong with them...
>"Momisi, what is common sense?*puzzled*"
>"What's a Hitler, nya?">It does seem worth getting involved in, but you decide that learning to fly first might be a better thing to do first.
>Take Kedama on hands.
>Pet the Kedama.
>Whast that you little, little furryball? You like it don't you?"
>"They're fluffy! Nya!">You take the Kedama off your head and start petting it, it...chirps? Kedama sure are weird, but Soooo fluffy!
Should we name it? :3I wouldn't have prompted you otherwise. :3
> Continue towards the shrine.
> Hum a tune.
Now then... What do you guys think we should name it?Ponga definitely... If we can keep it of course.
> Swing to the sides happily while humming.
Now then... What do you guys think we should name it?
Ponga definitely... If we can keep it of course.
>"Can we keep it Momisi? Does it requires much feeding?"
Ponga.
>"Awww... It's so cuuuuuuteeee~"
>Keep a-walkin'
> Name the Kedama "Ponga.">You sway cheerfully while you continue humming, the Kedama seems to like this somewhat.
Add questAdd a quest y'say? Coming right up!
~Feeding Ponga~
Learn about what he/she/it? likes, and what does not
>Onwards! Walking up the Shrine stairs!~
hmm interesting.. what I read was "what Kedama eat would be a fairy!" That would be true according to some sources :PHeh.
>Turn to Momisi.
>"This must be... Kero goddess, Nya?"
>Wave>You wave to the froggy girl, but she doesn't respond.
>"Hi Miss! Is there something in that pond?"
>Go over and look into the pond, see whats so interesting!
>Walk over to the goddess, and look into the pond as well.>You already have!
> "How many froggys do you have in that hat, nya?">You ask the froggy girl how many frogs she has in her hat, she replies without looking away from the pond. "I never really bothered to count."
>"Oh... a froggy... But, um, why was it in your hat?"~BGM: Froggy Pond~
>"Is the froggy your pet or something?"
>She seems really nice and smart~ Hey, wait, can we ask her about our cute Ponga?
>Hold out Ponga
>"Kero-san, Do you know what Ponga here eats? Sorry if its kinda random, its just I kinda just got him and..."
> Smile.
> "Yep! I'm pretty young. I'm not sure what I'd do if Chen-shama hadn't found me though!"
>"Suwako-Shama, Have you seen any strange things lately? Like Kamen Riders, aggressive Kedamas roaming rampart, not this on though, he's docile pretty much, Nya.">You smile brightly and say that you are pretty young, among other things(as seen in the quote), and Suwako stands up and turns to face you. "Well, how's about we have a snack then? There's still a few rice balls left over from lunch, I don't mind sharing a few."
>"Do you know if, a Fox, or a Cat or a enigmatic lady did pass around here lately?
>"Is there is something in the pond, Nya?
>"Rings, Nya? You fought Red-White?*Exited* "
>"Come here, Ponga">You call to Ponga to get him over and try a riceball, but he seems to not be interested. Oh, he's bumped into a low-hanging branch. Oh Ponga, you clown you.
>See if Ponga would like some riceballs.
>"So they were here Suwako-Shama?"
>"Yes! Red-white! The one that is able to fly! I am... not really good at all"
>Attempt to impress Suwako with our non-flying skills.
> Sigh.>You sigh. "Hey, cheer up. I can fly, but I much prefer the ground, or water. Swimming's nice...
> "I don't suppose you'd be able to teach me would you?"
>"Suwako-Shama, do you know anyone with the scent of Roses? I saw someone strange like that, while watching fight over who is better, Starfish Hitler or Genghis Khan Condor, I think she might be from around here....">You ask her about the rose smell, and the weird girl you saw earlier, as well as the fairies and what they were arguing over."Roses? Ah, that might have been a Satori, one of them wanders the mountain sometimes. Sometimes she'll show up here every so often, but nobody can catch her to find out why she keeps coming. The Red-White's fought her too, right at this very Shrine too. I watched the fight go down, and let me tell you, she's good, real good. But she seems a bit...I don't know, Off? As for the Fairies, they were probably arguing about Kamen Rider. How do I know it was Fairies fighting over it? Simple, it's something only a Fairy would fight over. Kamen Rider Amazon is way better, it's my personal favorite y'know."
>"Nyaa, how to say it Suwako-Shama, they are my family, I am trying to find them though.. *sad face*"
>"Have you met my family yet? They're really nice!">You ask Suwako if she's met the Yakumo group yet, and she facepalms. "In one ear and out the other eh? I already said they had lunch here, and I was there. So I think you can figure that out for yourself right?"
> Yay~
> "Do you know where I can find Kanako-shama?"
No Kasen? :( Do what ever colours.. It would hardly matter, unless you want them all at one scene.Kasen isn't until the 2nd Arc, along with Yuugi, Suika, and Konngara.
>"Sure thing, then where can I find Kanako-Shama?"
>"Nya... but you happen to know when they went from here?"
>"Kamen Rider Amazon, Ke? Nyo, nothing I just don't happen to be up date with such things..."
>"What's an Elevator?">You ask Suwako what an Elevator is. "It's this big...thing...it goes up and down. I'm not too good with this technological stuff, the kappa are better at it than anyone in Gensokyo."
>Look puzzled on the figure...>You look at the picture puzzledly, and mention that it has a nice scarf. Suwako nods. "That's how you can tell he's a Showa-era Rider, none of the Heisei-era Riders nowadays have one. Oh sure, there might have been one Heisei-era Rider with one, but that's about it. You want details on them, you ask Kanako."
>"Nya.... That's a nice scarf ^^"
>"I would love to talk with you a little more, Suwako-Shama, but I need to go, the sooner the better. I am a little embarrassed by the fact I am the only person that does not how to fly... *Try not to burst into tears*"
>Take Kedama with us, and proceed to "elevator".
>"Momisi.. coming?"
>Ok move
> Head for the elevator.
> Keep an eye out for things of interest.
>Pet Ponga! It's cuteness just can't be handled!>You, Momiji, and Ponga, make your way around to the backyard of the shrine, but nothing interesting appears beyond a slowly increasing ammount of those weird pillars you saw out front. Wonder why?
>Also, hug Momisi for being kind to us.
. Tell me which were used.. there is lime green and green.. Teal was used?Deepskyblue for Nitori.
Hows this?This works!
Kanako?
Actually, I'll just leave this here. (http://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm)
>"But I gotta pay you back somehow! Nya!">You say that you've gotta pay Momiji back somehow, and she just laughs. "You've already cleaned my place, remember? That makes it square."
>"Nyaaa! Who are youwhataredoingwhy'dyoubumpintomethathurtandahhhhhhhh"
> Flip out.>You flip the freaky freak out over bumping into someone, and whoever it is has green hair. And a Blue...and White...Outfit...Oh boy, this is that weird Shrine Maiden that Nitori mentioned isn't it? Uh-oh.
>"I am ok, Thanks for the help Momisi, Nya"
>"She did not recognise you? Strange..."
>Check if you did not drop anything, or.. that person did not drop anything as well.
>How I could not sense her....?
>"Do you have any idea where she was heading, Nyogh?"
>Also look for elevator, whenever we are heading..
>"I'm alright, It just hurt a little, thats all.">You say that you're okay, and thank Momiji for the help. "Oof...Not a problem..."
>"Though that wasnt very nice. I mean, She's supposed to be a god! Arent those holy and whatever?! Because being mean isnt holy to me."
>pout adorbly
>Look at Roll of Athletic Bandages>You walk over and pick up the Roll of Athletic Bandages to get a closer look.
>"Phwah.... It's so pretty...">You wander back over to Momiji and stare out over the lake, mesmerized by it's beauty. "Yeah, I've never seen this lake up close really."
>"Whats with all the pillars Momiji-san?
>Take a look at the person>You look in the direction of where the voice came from, but you can't see clearly on account of the sun being so bright. But you can see a shadowy outline of a woman with some kind of large hoop behind her.
>"Who's there? How did you get on top of that pillar?">You ask the mysterious woman who she is, and how she got on top of the Pillar, and she responds with a resounding laugh that's almost like thunder! S-scary...There sure are a lot of weird people here...
>flail>You flip the freaky-freak out due to the thunder-like laughter, but that only makes the mysterious woman laugh even more!
>"N-Nya?! WhossatwhoareyouwhyareyouherewhyareyousittingonthatpillarandAHHHHHHHH"
"I can't see very well in front of the sun, why would you come down, pleasenya?"I'll use the second one if you don't mind, it flows better with the plot, and the other commands.
>Hide behind Momiji>You hide behind Momiji in the ensuing panic, but it's useless, for you are suddenly lifted into the air by strong winds!
"Protect me~!"
>"Nyaaaaa! I'm a good kitty please don't hurt meee!">You flip out and find yourself as a Cat yet again. Been a while since that happened hasn't it?
>Cat form.
>"Nya! I'm not sure... I'm Hibachi, a newborn nekomatya."
I choose the first one, just for that reason it did represent something of what we heard back then.. I guess it would fit somewhere too.. but.. oh well
>"Nya... you sure scared me there! *shiver*"
>"Aren't Goddesses all knowing, Nya? Anyway, I came here because Yukari-Shama told me that I need to learn skills *hands note*. I hoped you would teach me flying, Nya... I am not very good at it as now....
>Impress Kanako-Shama with your... flying skills in normal form.
>"Well, Um... I kinda came here to learn, I dont really know much about anything right now...">You tell the mysterious woman your name, and that's you're not sure why you came here in the first place. She conjures a small dish with some kind of drink in it, and takes a few sips. "I am Kanako Yasaka, chief deity of the Moriya Shrine. I assume you've likely already met Suwako yes? This was originally her shrine, I won it from her in single combat many years ago. She used to be the chief deity here until I won our duel ages ago." She then looks out over the lake in an almost longing manner. "...I miss those days."
> Observe Kanako's movements. Wait until she attacks and when she does go cat-form and head into the gaps of her danmaku.>You observe Kanako's movements closely, but she doesn't move an inch, she seems to be waiting for you to make the first move. Wait...when did she pull out that spellcard?!
This might be not sufficient and not enough quickly, but we have time, since she is waiting for the first attack. If memory servers.. She if reinforcing herself by turning the area into "her's" by pillars She is rising...>You quickly check the pillars for weakpoints, but you see none.
>Exam the pillars for weak spots.
>But do not turn your back.
>Those are to hight to jump on, Nya?
>Pretend to look weaker that you are right now, change to cat form for now.
>Fire off a quick round of damaku, decently spread out. Enough to keep here away for just a bit. But do not use lasers or spellcards yet.>You find an open spot within Kanako's shots and switch back to Normal Mode to fire off a few shot, but Kanako dodges most of them, and swats away what ones she couldn't dodge in time with fierce slaps! What is she, some kinda sumo wrestler?!
> How close together are the pillars?itsa me
Might be able to get some kitty-mode wall jump action going. :3
> How close together are the pillars?>They're far apart enough that you can see through them, but close enough together that there's no way you could squeeze through them, even in Cat Form.
Might be able to get some kitty-mode wall jump action going. :3
Oh yes.. , Time to use some of tactical movement.
>Use Danmaku spam to get her attention, spam some bullets into her Eyes.
>Use cat form to slip past her back.
>Use lasers on her hand, that which she is carrying the shpell card.
>When she drops it, pick it up and use it against her.
>Spam da- or do what berzul said.>You fire off a cloud of Danmaku almost comparable to the one the Red Kedama from earlier fired!
>In the offchance we know there's no way to reach the spellcard, Make sure she doesnt get it.
"Kanako then floats into the air a bit"
"slip behind her, but Kanako catches you with a fierce backhand that sends you flying"
That's bit confuses me... She in the air, that we could go below her or.. whatever..
Today.... I got to meet Kero on the way from and back to the home... However on the way back to the home.. I also got caught by a storm... EVIL SHRINE is EVIL!
And now this...
Oh well resolve this matter in Dangerama style would be.. something I want to try out, please don't kill us..
Well sumo wrestlers have one weakness, they do abide the rules of Sumo, therefore...
>If we aren't right next to a pillar, make sure you are really touching it with you back.
>Await Kanako rush, shooting her legs.
>When she gets in range, change into cat form, jump off the wall, on Kanako's head.
>Bounce of her head, change into normal form, and use a spell card to fire yourself into her waist, in a attempt to push her onto the pillar, maybe destroying it in the process.
Also.. I want this Danmaku... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X10G5RqUNyc)
>Imagine sunglasses falling right in front of your eyes after you catch her with the attackShe only floated up enough for enhanced mobility, like Patchy in the fighters. Just an inch or so off the ground.
>:dealwithit:
firing off your spellcard at her in an effort to knock Kanako into the pillarDangerama style: use a spell card to fire yourself into her waist.
Dangerama style: use a spell card to fire yourself into her waist.Only a few spellcards work like that, and the only one Hibachi has right now ain't one of 'em.
Does not mean you fire at her.... Maybe cus danmaku did so far nothing?
> Ponga: Block Kanako's eyesight.>You have Ponga try to block Kanako's Eyesight, and it actually works a bit!
> Hibachi: Regain composure and fire some lasers at Kanako's main body.
Only a few spellcards work like that, and the only one Hibachi has right now ain't one of 'em.This I might feared, but still a melee attack is.. a melee attack..
This is the first Spellcard you unlocked, It fires a barrage of Laser Shots directly forward. You get the feeling Yukari would be proud.
This I might feared, but still a melee attack is.. a melee attack..
You can also fire them from your feet, for a boost. It's directly forward, if you look directly on the ground.
>Try using that ring as a weapon..
Atm I honestly... out of possibilities, maybe we can try to slide under her?
>Get as far as you can, rest, wait for her to come, slide under her, attack with hand claw/ring thingy, change cat form, run the other way.
>Otherwise, if she wont come wait until her spell card expires. Then either proceed with the plan either, use those "Athletic Bandages" for unknown effects...
>Also.. *Dramatic close up* "PONGAAAAAAAAA!"
Hmmm.Don't have enough levels in Danmaku Mastery to shoot from anywhere but your hands sadly, gotta be at least Rank B. Once you hit Rank S, you can use Familiars like Keine does.
>Take off the ring and throw it at Kanako.
>Is ponga alright?
>Dont forget to keep firing.
>If all else fails (or if the ring actually does do damage), Use a spellcard and bomb it out.
> If so, get into a position behind her dodging any leafmaku that comes at us. Maybe we can catch her off guard and hit her in the back.<<a countless swarm of leaf-like danmaku begin orbiting around Kanako>>
<<a countless swarm of leaf-like danmaku begin orbiting around Kanako>>Ah... I forgot about the pillar. :ohdear:
Coming near not that great, also
I am pretty sure that She is around the far end of the ring, since we have not moved since:
<<effort to knock Kanako into the pillar>>
Can't attack from the back if she is still standing in the same place...
> Was she facing us when she became obscured by the leaves?
> If so, get into a position behind her dodging any leafmaku that comes at us. Maybe we can catch her off guard and hit her in the back.
Metal cuts wood, no problem there.. I think
>"Lady Suwako, give me strength!"
>Spin around while destroying leafs with your metal ring.
>Throw ring like before, after it was charged with leafs from spinning and add your spellcard to the effect as well.
>Also use the Athletic Bandages to check for effect.
Don't know if we can afford attacking now, it might be possible to time out the spell card, rather that just going in for no reason, but She might not think we would do that...
>If all else fails, Graze graze graze!>She was indeed facing you, but she's covered by the leafmaku, so there's no chance of getting behind her.
>Cloud of danmaku~
>If possible, get up to 50% graze and fire a spellcard. If not, Fire a spellcard at the highest graze you can get to.
>If also possible, Spin at a slight less rate then you did before, throw the ring upwards, jump up and grab it, spin twice, and throw it. Just like a badass.
>"Not enough yet, Nya? I am going to die...?"
The tactic seems to work somehow.. however, the new tip gives me an idea.
General question, if you can use Atheistic bandages on leg slot then
>Try to throw the ring, that it would orbit around you. It can also be done via Castlevania/Ninja gained style, teither you jump or move to the side when the rings come at you, so it would keep the momentum and back at you, when you would dodge it again, enough to orbit around you.
>Change Atheistic bandages slot to legs. If possible...
>Change to cat to gain graze.
>After the ring goes back on to you, or we get enough graze, throw it at Kanako, boosting it up with your Danmaku and spellcard.
If all goes well...
>Pray for successes.
I think its a bit risky to use physical attacks since she's got all that danmaku at us so...One problem there. After the ring impacts, it spins in place like a saw, then vanishes to reappear back in the wielder's hand.
> Apply Athletic Wrappings to legs for a speed boost.
>"I still.... nyan.... alive? AAAAAAAWWWW" *Huge pain*"
>Check self.. for damage.
>Youkai are pretty hard to kill for sure.. but recovering.. was not metioned, auch.
>Don't try to scratch or bite off the bandages like a cat would do..
>Were are we anyways? Are there doors, windows, furniture?
> Stare at the ceiling.
> "T-this sucks, nya..."
>"Where's Chen, nya~? Has Chen, or anyone else I know visited me?">You ask where Chen is, but there's nobody there.
>Can we get up?>You try to sit up, but all that serves to do is make you hurt more. Ow.
>Slash your hand at the mouse, but don't really try to catch it.>You'd do this, but the mouse has already gotten out of sight. Fast little bugger.
Nazrin has an accent? Oh yay.More like one of Nazrin's mouse-y minions. :3
Now, Do we try to become friends with her or not? After all, cats chase mice~
>Relax for a bit. You're hurt, take advantage of the time you have to rest and think about things.
> "Suwako-shama~">You call for Suwako, and suddenly, the hat over on the dresser starts shaking violently!
> Keep lyin' there.
>"Nyaa! You nearly gave me a heartattack!!">You mention to Suwako that she nearly gave you a heart attack with her sudden appearance, and she just shrugs amusedly. "It's one of my other abilities. As long as I'm in range of one of my spare hats, I can use it to warp there instantaneously. But before you ask, it's not a part of my power as a goddess, it's just a little trick I picked up over the years."
>"Where did all of my stuff go, nya?"
>What good did the fighting do, anyways? We're in no shape to fly now, even if we could.. :<>You had to prove yourself to Kanako so that she could teach you Flight.
>If we can go up.. maybe our do not seem that great after all that fighting... search for something else that is not almost completely destroyed?>You can kinda sit up, but it hurts like a dickens.
>Momisi, yea.. where is she...?
>Also make sure you don't make noise that anyone would come it. Just to make sure.. cover your self with futon or coverlet. (Or whatever you can find for now...)
>"oh, hai, Suwako-Shama. Nyaa... it's not the best time to ask, but do you know where can I get some not completely destroyed set of clothes?"
>Do we feel any stronger in any way? What about more... durable?>Stronger? Right now frankly, you feel like you just got bitchslapped a few hundred times by something made of stone.
>I'm totally not telling the parser to gettoffa his arse and give us our upgrades after a boss fight. No. Not at all.
>And wheres that cute wittle fluffball ponga?
>"Suwako-shama, do you know where Ponga is~?"
>"Pongaaaa, come over here. Get out of that basket~"
>Hmm... I think we proved ourself more then enough for Kanako, yes?
>Get hyped for flight.
>"*Shy* Suwako-Shama, would you... mind?"
>Check for possible things to wear, check if everything is in the basket again, pet Ponga.
>Orr how about we forget about being shy!
>Pet Ponga if it comes to us. <3
> Thank Ponga for his help during the fight.>You call Ponga over, and amusingly enough, it pulls the basket with it! He's stronger than he looks. :o
>Ok try on stuff! Like that Suwako hat for example :P>You reach for the hat Suwako left behind, but it jumps away from you like a frog! :o
We get to find a pair of panties for hibachiDohohohoho.
i cant feel my nose anymore :V
five bucks says ponga got +5 DEF from our panties
>"D'awwww, so cute..."
>Try to get some rest for a bit. We cant exactly get better like this, yaknow.
>PARSER WE NEED OUR UPGRADES. POOOOOWEEEER UPPPP
>Dress up possibly? We are guests as it is for now... Maybe... we could become a Shrine maiden that flies? NYAAA!>You decide to dress yourself as best you can with your injuries, but it proves to be quite a bit harder than you thought. But at least you get the important bits on. You wonder if you could become a flying shrine maiden, but you get a funny feeling that someone's already done that. Besides, you don't even know what it is they do!
>Ask for food and water before resting, maybe toilet break too?
>Look around for a mirror... I guess the clothes look ok..>There was that mirror near the door, but it'd take a lot of effort to get to.
> "Suwako-Shama, you wouldn't mind finding something to eat? I am starving, and the only mouse I found seemed not to digestible... also it talked which is strange.. Youkai mouse or something, Nya?"
>"Oh.. You have any idea why Kanako-Shama wanted to beat me up that hard, Nya? that was.. too much for the first time.."
>"Suwako-Shama do you know here the wolf-tengu, Momisi went?
>Pet Ponga more. We would need to find something for him to eat too!
>"Can I try your hat, Suwako-Shama, Nya?">You ask Suwako if you could try her hat, and she chuckles. "Everyone in Gensokyo has a custom Hat. Kanako, Sanae, and myself are exceptions though, having had these from when we lived in the outside."
>"Pogna, aren't you hungry? I guess this isn't in your taste too much...
>Eat what is it.. try using that other thing is it's kinda.. tasty..
>Try using anything that it is, that Suwako gave us... that weird Straw-looking thing, if those aren't chopstics.
>"What are those Suwako-Shama?"
>"Soo.... if as far I understand.. To learn flying one must become a shrine maiden first, is that why you gave me those clothes Suwako-Shama?"
>"3 Days... and no one... what happened since then Suwako-Shama?"
>"Oh my... I don't know what to say.. even, you save me from certain death, *drops down and cries* THANK YOU... NYA... SUWAKO-SHAMA! *Hug*">You practically melt into a puddle of gratitude and tears, and pain. mostly pain. And gratitude, and tears. But mostly pain.
> "Thats Ponga, nya!">You tell Chen that the little guy's name is Ponga, and Chen nods. "He's a Kedama right? Dai used to have one, but she's been missing since Cirno flipped out."
> Owwww.....
> New skill descriptions.
>Strangle Chen, or at least pretend you try...>You try to strangle Chen, but all you manage is a feeble grab at her shoulders, you slide back a bit after that and sit down, trying to ignore most of the pain.
>Then back off a little..
>"No it's that.. Chen-Shama I been though a lot just now, and it's not funny... where were you all this time?"
>Try your best to explain the situation to Chen.
>Hug Chen! Show them how scared we were!>You hug Chen rather weakly, mostly due to how much you're hurting right now.
>"I didn't get to learn how to fly yet..."
>"Whaat? Nya... what are we gonna do with all that time Chen-Shama? Watch box?">You ask Chen what you're gonna do while you heal, and Chen just shrugs. "Dunno, probably. But you got pretty banged up, even a Youkai will take a while to heal from that. I remember the last time I was that beat up, it was back when the Red-White fought Ran-sama."
> "Do you know what kedama eat Chen-shama?">You ask Chen what Kedama eat, and she shrugs. "Only folks I'd know who would be able to tell you right away would be Cirno and Dai, but you already know that Cirno's been flipping out, and Dai's been missing ever since Cirno started flipping out."
>Try to find a conformable place to rest *sigh*>You look around for somewhere comfortable to rest, and you find the futon you used a few days back. You decide to crawl over to rest there.
>"Chen-Shama... Would you be kind enough to see.. if you could find a fairy, and ask her how does a Kedama eats, while I would be stuck here...?"
>"I guess.. I could try to do stuff around here, auch.. but there aren't many things to do here.. Nyan.."
>"Chen-Shama if that is possible.. can Ran-Shama teach me how to read Japanese?"
>"ok Chen... thank you for being with me all this time, Nya... That makes me think.. what were you doing when I was fighting Kanako? I mean.. why Yukari brought us to the Mountain in the first place?">You ask Chen what she was doing while you fought Kanako, and from what you can tell, she just shrugged. "I was probably down in the Underground visiting Orin-san. We came to visit you when you were out cold you know."
>"Is Yukari-Shama around? I would like to talk with her.."
>"That Kanyako lady could have gotten me killed! Why didn't Momisi tried to protect me!">You mention that Kanako could've gotten you killed, and wonder why Momiji didn't protect you, and Yukari pokes her head through the gap with a weird bread-like tube-thing hanging out of her mouth. "Mrrphmrph..." Yukari pulls the bread-thingy out of her mouth and clears her throat. "Uh, I mean...Danmaku is nonlethal, you'll feel like you got run over by a train, but you'll live. Of course, sometimes there are occasional things that break through even the spellcard rules. Like that stunt you pulled back during the fight, even dear Yuyuko was surprised you survived it~"
>Make a teary face.
>"Whats a train?">You ask what a train is, and Yukari nods. "A train is a vehicle used for transportation in the outside, they're quite large. Among all the things from the outside I prefer to use in a fight, trains and street signs are by far my favorites...I like trains."
>"Who is Yuyuko-shama?"
>"Ke? What are those?"
>Maybe Ponga can eat then, check.
>"Who is Yuyuko, Yukari-Shama?"
>on a more pressing matter "Mother, I need money for new clothes."
>"I toughed.. since I am grounded anyways... Would be ok for Ran-Shama, to teach me how to read, since... I am a bit off on that too, in addition of flying..."
>"I believe you know what actually happen by now Yukari-Shama, but did Sanae-Shama did mention anything about me?"
> Blow on the tube-thing and scarf it down when cool enough.>You ask what the tube-thing is, and Yukari smirks. "It's something called a taquito, I brought them in from the outside. Delicious little things those."
> "So how long will it be until I'm healthy again, nya?"
> Pet Ponga.
I guess...
>Find water or something...
>"Haa haaa, Wter"
>Give some water to Ponga if you get it...
>After that, doze off, if no one else bothers us
Maybe some talk with Yukari, about how sorry we are that we left her.. party back at the landing area.. but honestly.. if you have nothing against it.. We need a montage
>"I can't handle spicy stuff...."
>We havent gotten anything to drink in a loooong time, right?Montage, y'mean like a fancy timeskip during the recovering and learning to both read and fly?
>"Can I... er, at least have a drink?"
Montage, y'mean like a fancy timeskip during the recovering and learning to both read and fly?Yes
YesOne Timeskip Montage, coming up! ...After this little bit gets dealt with.
>Help Ponga... "Mugs aren't for diving you know..."
>Anything else that bothers us from resting.. the Kitchen will be fine.. Maybe try to close the gap yourself?
About timing.. seems we have similar time zones.. :)
>Go checkPerhaps kip-dude, perhaps.
>I really hope it isnt that bad.
Anytime soon will we catch Yukari playing some Necrofantasia on her ipod or something? Also, stop updating when I just wake up. jeebussssss
EST is the only timezone thats cool.
also, somehow, I just blew up a chicken nugget in the microwave. I blame your story hanzo.
Time we fought Kanako.. Storms at my place and frogs.. there must be something in this story...Maybe I've got the touch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McN3_4vdMGs&feature=related)?
>"T-The fifth?! Really? How does this happen?!">How shocking!
>Shockedface.jpg
>Put down the fire.. with..? Find anything.. fill the mug with water from the sink or something.>You limp over to the sink and fill the now-empty mug with water from it, and fling the mug's contents at the fire, putting it out in one fell swoop.
>"What is this all about?, NYA"
>Assuming like last time, we did not leave our Futon.
>"I don't have the energy now to take care you two now.. goodnight"
>Lay down and sleep
Also, no dream sequence please. I'm all for those, but, ya know, We got a main story to get onto. And we're barely halfway through arc 1.I kinda hope its longer than that. :3
Any idea how many arcs there are, and how long it may take? Three threads?
>zZzZzZ *snore*>You're already asleep!
>Dream....
> Wake up.>You wake up, oh, it's morning already!
Any idea how many arcs there are, and how long it may take? Three threads?How many Arcs? Well, there's at least 3, but as for how many threads? That all depends on how badly you all get sidetracked (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer).
>"That"? Why, it's a little foreshadowing for Arc #2~Yukari-shamaxHibachi. Do want
You know, You could always just timeskip to AFTER learning how to fly, something along the lines of "It was really hard" or something.
>What's "that"?
I kinda hope its longer than that. :3I intend to have this go on for at least an entire year, maybe even longer!
Holy crap.I intend to have this go on for at least an entire year, maybe even longer!
I'm gonna set a record!
Holy crap.Aye!
Welp here's hoping we can make this happen! :3
> Look around sleepily.
Welp, Kippy's going to be here, >ing it all till the end.>You climb out of bed and..oops, you're not wearing anything other than your undergarments. You should probably look into getting a set of jammies, maybe some nice pink ones with a nightcap...Maybe there's someone who knows where you can get a a set like that?
Or, well, Until my attention span dies and you dont update for at least a day then I decide to forget all about everything and then i suddenly explode and yeah i dont know.
>Get outta bed, Lazy kitty.
>"Poongaaaa~"
>>You'd look for Chen, but you should probably get dressed first.Plot world domination, using our cuteness
>Find Chen
>Give us a visitation of our selection of clothes.. plsss>Your clothes are as follows.
>Our bandages, are they off already or..?
>"Ponga, don't run into objects please...."
>"NYAAAA *Stretch out*"
> Go for the suit. Its time to be a classy kitty.>You decide to put the suit on, you have a little trouble with the tie, but you figure it out after a little trial and error. You're not sure why it has pants and not a skirt though, but it fits you all the same.
> Look for Chen.
>Also with the suit, make sure you get your usual items.>You already made sure of that, you've learned to not be caught without your only spellcard. Though you have been trying to make another one, with no success.
>Fly quietly towards Chen
>Land behind her, and put your hands at her eyes from behind.
>"Peekaboo~"
>Tame to the poor kittenClarify please?
>"Did you get hurt Chen-Shama?"
Clarify please?Suppose to be "Tend to..." But did not have time to change it.. while something else poped up in my mind then...
>Tend to the poor kitten
>"Did you get hurt Chen-Shama?"
>Help Chen up.>You help Chen up and ask her if she's okay, and she just grins at you crosseyedly. "Feeesh. Pie is exactly three! Whumph. Yabba-dabba-doo!"
>"Nyaa... I'm sowwy I didn't meant to scare THAT much."
>"Chen, It's me, Hibachi."
>"Can you hear me?"
>Grab her shoulders and shake her a bit
>"Chen? CHEN? CHEEEEEEEEEEN?"
>If that still don't work use some kind of water to bring her back.
>Stop. Hibachi time.>You try calling to Chen, but all you get out of her is the same nonsensical babble from earlier.
>Soft palm strike to her forehead should work.
>During the timeskip, anything new that we didn't learn about yet?>No, aside from learning to fly, and gaining a basic grasp of reading. But you're working on that. ...Oh, Suwako did help you improve on using the Ring. You're now fairly decent at it, she's impressed how quickly you picked it up too. (The parser apologizes for the oversight in not adding this to the list of Special Skills.)
>Movitvate Chen! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEtGFu3igjg)
>put on your wizard cap and robe
>Drag her back to Ran-mama and Yukari-san. One of them has to know what to do.
> "Ran-shama, Yukari-shama! I t-think I b-broke Chen-shama!">You drag Chen around aimlessly, somehow she's flat on her face during all this.
> Sniffles.
You made ran orange :VThat has been fixed.
>Do we know how to put it out?
>Maybe, juuuuust maybe we should ask Yukari to not make food?
>"Nya... Maybe we should use that non firery heating thing, I saw the other day in the Box, Ran-Shama?">You mention that maybe Yukari should use that one thing you saw on the television the other day, the thing that doesn't use fire. And Ran facepalms. "That's the worst thing she could use, it's how she blew the place up last time. Remember?" Oh yeah...She did use that thing didn't she?
>"But.... I didn't mean to break Chen-Shama, I was just curious if she has the same reaction as I do.."
>"Ran-Shama, take care of Chen here, I will check on the kitchen for... pyromaniacs.
>Run of to the kitchen in a very fast matter.
>Always ask where food comes from now. We dont want any food from Yukari.On the subject of RO, I have one last idea I could try. But I have to get things arranged,
>"Ran-mama, Yukari-san is making eggs! And she doesnt really know *cough to grab yukaris attention* that she is BURNING THE PLACE DOWN."
Yeah i'm going to call ran Ran-mama. She seems like the most motherly figure out of the three. also, on a side note, RO didnt work. I prolly eff'd something up somehow. I'll find a DL somewhere though.
>"MOTHER! Do you know the difference between cooked and burned?"Well, I wasn't thinking about hot plates. Plus, it'd make sense for her to have some kind of flaw, being a horribly inept cook is the most amusing one.
And I was not talking about microwaves, but an electronic plate, not quite sure how it's called.
>"Maybe I can try healing you with this..."
>"Ohh... so you saying cooking with borders passes the test? What about the smoke then? *Open the closest thing to a window*">You express your confusion on the subject of using her power to cook, and she just smiles at you enigmatically...Between coughs.
>If we have one of those smoke/air Vacuum
>"Can I try at least.. you never did let me ever try, mother...."
>"Ke? Yuyuko-Shama? I never meet her though... Wait... She is the one around ghosts, Nya? The place where that Kasha lives *Shivers*">You expression your slight confusion of who Yuyuko is, and wonder somewhat scaredly if she's connected to that Kasha, and Yukari simply smiles enigmatically. "Oh heavens no, you're thinking of the Former Hell. Nice place for a party, but a few too many Oni for my tastes. Yuyuko resides in Hakugyoukurou."
>"Did you happen to learn your cooking from her? nnnn makes me wonder how Ran-Shama got her skill from..."
>Guess she's just an all around servant then.>You wonder if maybe that gardener is just good at a lot of things.
>You have this urge to scream "GOD DAMMIT YUKARI". You dont know why.
>"Ke? Former Hell... and the underworld.. this is confusing... Nya, I get to choose the place after I die? But.. how to get there if you aren't dead?">You ask Yukari confusedly about those places, and a few other things, and Yukari somehow pulls a folding fan out of thin air, is she using her power? "The Enma decides that, but if Yuyuko takes a shine to you, there's a good chance she'll override the Enma's ruling and have you carted off to Hakugyoukurou instead of wherever the Enma wants to put you. But that's a bridge to cross after one dies, no?"
>"It makes me nnnn... Mother you are a ghost too, that can talk with Yuyuko-Shama?"
>"I have never seen a ghost in my life... *Exited and a bit scared*"
I am referring to the mistake Yukari made here:
"Yuyuko is the current ruler of Hakugyoukuro, also referred to as the Underworld. Often times, the spirits of those who die are sent there. it's really a beautiful place, I actually knew her even before she...er, died. But that's not to say she still isn't alive in a sense. She's referred to by some as the 'Ghostly Princess'. But personally, she's just as quirky as I am."
Netherworld is another thing...
>"Still though, I dont know what a ghost is. Do I clean it up with a vacuum or something?">Wanting to change the subject quickly, you ask if a ghost is something you clean up with a vacuum, and that stern look of Yukari's cracks into laughter!
>"Can you eat a ghost?">You then ask if a ghost is something you eat, and that makes her laugh even harder!
>"Do ghosts come in different colors like Kedama do, nya?">You decide that those lines of dialogue aren't going anywhere for now, and ask if Ghosts come in different colors like Kedama do, and she laughs a bit more as she slowly regains her composure.
>"eee Yes Mother I will be careful with that... but that place scares me... what would happen If I would turn into ghost while being in Hakugyoukurou? You won't let me die, you will protect me right?">You ask worriedly if you'll turn into a ghost while you're there, and Yukari removes your headgear and ruffles your hair before replacing your hat. "That won't happen, Hakugyoukurou is a place where the living visit from time to time too. I am one such person who does that. And the gardener? She's as alive as you and I...In a sense."
>"Nya... so we are going? All of the sudden it's decided?"
>"Artefacts Nya? What are those two in question exactly?"
>"Will I be able to shoot lasers out my eyes?!">You ask if you'll end up being able to shoot lasers out of your eyes, and Yukari chuckles. "You've been watching Tensoku Z with the Shrine Maiden up at the Moriya Shrine again haven't you?"
>Imagine a theme song for you...
>ONLY YOUR A FUCKING ROBO KITTY YAHOOOOO
> > "Y-you mean like treasure, nya?!">You ask if finding the Artifacts means finding treasure in a rather excited manner, and Yukari just chuckles to herself as she fools around with the border of hot and cold in a effort to keep breakfast warm. "You could say that~"
> Excitement~
How did you know I was referencing that? You mind-reader you.You're talking to a guy who eats, sleeps, and breathes the mecha genre. There's probably not many folks here on MoTK who know more about it than I do. There's probably more than I think there are though, "Always A Bigger Fish" and whatnot.
>Have we ever seen the internet?
>"Well, Fleeble-snort to you too Chen-shama."
> Giggle.>You giggle at nothing in particular, Chen's out-of-it-ness is kinda funny though.
>hmm Yukari has something important to say then... wait>You would think Yukari has something Important to say, but she's too preoccupied with trying to makes sense of what Chen just said. Seems even border control has it's limits.
>Have we seen anyone with a condition like Chen's in the Box? If so, how was the situation resolved there?>Somewhat, but you're fairly certain none of those cases lasted this long. Of course, they weren't Youkai like Chen is.
>Poke Chen. "When is she gonna be unbroken, nya?">You poke Chen experimentally, and wonder aloud when she's gonna stop being busted. "Fish shaped crackers, Fish shaped candies, Fish shaped solid waste, Fish shaped dirt, Fish shaped ethyl benzene, Fish shaped volatile organic compounds and Sediment shaped sediment. Candy coated peanut butter pieces......shaped like fish." When Chen says all this, you wonder if she's starting to improve. She is saying more sensible things afterall. Maybe she's just got fish on the brain?
>Slaps Chen around a bit with a large trout .>
>Slaps Chen around a bit with a large trout .>You would, but you don't have this item!
>"So, Mother.. you wanted to see us all? Why?"
>Once done slapping, Eat said trout. Tastes good man.
>"Ran-mama, Do you know what to do? What about you, Yukari-shama?"
>"Should we hit her on the head with a frying pan?"
>Don't forget to share the trout.
>>You don't have a trout to do this with!Conjure a pith hat.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhJQp-q1Y1s)
> "Should we call a doctor or something, nya?"
>"Horray! She's speaking normally!">You say happily that she's talking normally, and Chen smiles brightly. "Skunks playing poker, basketball cheesesteak! Spoooooon."
>We can still use water, as longest we are in the kitchen right..?>You could, but everyone's at the table, and you could wind up splashing Ran and Yukari too. And knowing how Yukari is, there's no way she'd let you get out of it without getting soaked yourself.
>Use water on Chen, make it a huge bucket of water, we don't want to miss her or anything...
>Feel really bad about breaking her.>You're already feeling pretty bad about it, no need to drop any further into a funk eh?
>Hug her to show her how sorry we are.
>How I haven't noticed that everyone are sitting already? Also it's a Kotatsu or table?>You were too distracted by Chen's dazed babbling.
>Anyway, fill the bucket for later use, and eat breakfast, if edible. If it's good complement Yukari-mother.
>"After breakfast, can I watch the TV Box, nya?">You ask if you can watch some TV after breakfast, and Yukari shakes her head. "Not just yet today, remember what we talked about earlier~?" Ran of course, is still staring confusedly.
>Still, there must be something to do about Chen.
>After eating breakfast... Be determined, find that bucket or anything. Do not waste time on anything else, just find and and fill it up!
>"Is Chen-shama going to be fixed soon?">There likely is, but she may get better on her own too though.
>Look at Yukari. "Don't mess up Chen-shama with your borders, okay? I don't want her worse then she already is..."
>fucking ADORABLE pouting process go
>"Can we take the TV box with us, nya?">You ask if you can take the TV with you when everyone goes, and Ran shakes her head. "I'm afraid not, it has to stay here in order to work. the only other places that have the means to keep it running is the Kappa Village, Tengu Village, and the Moriya Shrine."
>Cast Life2 on parser(http://i55.tinypic.com/usqye_th.jpg) (http://i54.tinypic.com/2nty8h3_th.jpg)
>"But cant miss yukari make it work?">You ask why Yukari can't make it work, and Yukari shrugs. "Too much effort~ Messing with borders takes more if it involves electricity."
>turn to yukari
>SUPER CUTE POUT IS A GO-GO.
>Its not good for any cat to not be spoiled :3
>Sad pout. "But I wanna see the funny-talking people...">You pout and say you want to see more of the funny people that you've been watching a lot of lately, and Yukari just smiles. "We can get you the DVDs when they're released in the outside, your Gamestation can play those, remember?" Oh yeah, Ran did say something about it being able to do that when she was installing it...
>Pet Chen before leaving the place.
> Ponga is with us right?
> If not, find Ponga before heading out.
>Parser: Tell all the players to take it easy>Ponga is not, he's still in your room, likely still under that copy of The Art of War that Ran gave you.
>"Yukariiii~! Ponga wanna come with us~!"
> "Oh Ponga. You absolutely slay me!">You comment on how funny Ponga is, and when he hears that, he chirps a few times before dashing under your hat to claim his favorite perch. On your head.
> Chuckle.
> Head back outside.
>"How far are we going to the... thingy, nya?">You ask how long the trip will be, and Ran suddenly rattles off a long chain of calculations and mathematics that makes your head hurt quite a bit. When she notices that she's completely lost you, in addition to having given you a headache, she cuts it short and sums it up. "....Which is to say, it's a decent trip, but no farther than anywhere else. Mayohiga is one of the closer places to Hakugyuoukurou."
>Gather food in fact of long trips.
!Missed that!
>Still be looking for the bucket...
>"But.... Mother, we can't leave Chen like this... can you image what will she do left here alone? We can't take her either... I don't want to be the only child, when she would wonder off and turn into a ghost! *weep*"
>We are free to use water!
>Should we go in the Classy Suit? Seems like for me.. we could go as well into coffin, with that suit... I really don't think our protagonist want to be a ghost soon...
>Groan>You've kept an eye out for a bucket, but you haven't seen one.
>"Chen-sama... act more ladylike. It's not nice to be saying bloop fishy. I don't even have a fish!"
>super cute comedy gold
So, Parser, I'd assume you had a bitta trouble writing this one specific part?
>"Chen? are you OKk? You're not looking so good.">You recover from your shock and ask if Chen's okay, she nods. "Blerp! Erm...I mean, I'm okay."
>"Nya, Chen, how I suppose to the cheerful, when you turn into a ghost all of the sudden? Don't say you want to become one, Nya?"
>"Ran-Shama you really need all this stuff? Maybe I should help with that.... "
We don't just go to a ghost place to have "scared the s*** out of us" as humans would say.
>Protest going to a scary place when you, for certain, will turn into a ghost.
>Nod "Okay chen-shama! Lets go!">After having had it drilled into your head that Hakugyoukurou's safe for the living too, you nod and agree to go. "Now that that's been settled, we're off~! It's rude to keep people waiting you know~"
>Marchin' kitty.
>Do we even know what to feed Ponga?
> Flying~>Flying sure is fun when you get the hang of it, and it's kinda windy up here too. Good thing you chose to wear the suit instead, you would've had to deal with your kimono flying open and stuff because of the wind! That happened once, you got all tangled up in it and crashed into a tree. Wasn't fun.
> "So whats Yuyuko-shama like Chen-shama?"
>Check for.. ops too late, I hope we have taken everything from our house.>You already have your inventory!
>Check for umbrellas along the way.
>"Chen, have you been to the Netherworld? Probably not, because that would mean you are dead, Nya..."
Parser's Mini-Note: I don't have much of a memory for the In-Universe names for the different Incidents the games resolve, so feel free to correct me as needed.As far as I know, the only officially named ones are:
>Only if we had Momisi with us.. we could see it all.. oh well>If only, eh?
>"That's one huge doorway, mother, do you know why it's hanging in the air like that?"
> "Musicians? I'd like to hear them play sometime, nya...">You comment on how you'd like to hear them perform sometime, and Chen nods. "They sometimes perform at parties, festivals, or just anywhere they want. They usually give concerts out at the Garden of The Sun, for the fairies, flowers, and other things that live there."
> Keep headin' towards the "Stairway to Heaven".
>"well.. Um, that was... a lot.">You comment that that was quite a lot of info to process, and ask if Yukari is really known around. Chen nods. "She's known by just about everyone who's anyone in Gensokyo."
>"So Miss Yukari is really known around here?"
>"Err... How about that ice fairy? Is she still causing trouble?">You ask if the ice Fairy's still causing trouble, and Chen sighs. "Yeah...But she's been keeping to the lake, so she doesn't get to cause too much. Someone should go sort her out sometime though, I'm getting worried about Dai...I haven't seen her since Cirno started acting that way..."
>"This door... *shout* OPEN SEZAME".>After a long flight, you reach the Gate to Hakugyoukurou. You decide to try shouting a password.
>Wait until it opens.
Damn If I only knew I would vote to make a Yamabiko Youkai...
Damn If I only knew I would vote to make a Yamabiko Youkai...I'd personally love to see a dullahan.
>Take a look around. All them trees...>So many trees, it's like an ocean of them! ...But like, what's an ocean? You have no clue really.
>"When am I gonna deal with her, nya?"
I'd personally love to see a dullahan.Hmmm...~
> "Pretty~"
> Look around excitedly.
>"Zoiks!">You freak out a bit and try to drive them away with some Danmaku, but they avoid it with little effort.
>Wave Danmaku left and right at those things.
>"Go away... go away..."
> Calm Ponga down by petting him.>You take off your hat and reach up to pet Ponga, but he's not there?! Oh wait, he's inside the hat. Poor little guy must be kinda freaked out.
> "So is the Gardener invisible or something, nya?"
>Proceed>You continue along the path with Chen, and for a brief moment, you think you see a gray-haired girl with a green dress and a pair of swords. But she's not there after you blink. How strange, wonder who that was?
>"So she doesn't know that she's edible?">You wonder aloud if she knows that she's edible, and Chen just busts into laughter. "Ghosts aren't edible, though these guys do look like marshmallows."
>"...How can someone be half-ghost, nya?"
>Head tilt here.
>Pounce and hug Yuyuko.
>"Nyaa! Mice to meet joo! I am Hibachi, a nekomata youkai~!"
>"Do you know anyone that's gray-haired and has a green dress?"
> Introduce Ponga as well.>You try to pounce Yuyuko, but one of Yukari's gaps opens in the air in front of you, catching you in midair!
>"Can't... breathe.... cold... light.... fading....">It is sorta hard to breathe, but it's not so much that it's impossible. But you decide to play a little prank on Yuyuko.
>Play dead.
Top hat? Sounds like.. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykRZbOb1c5c) I don't know why it came out so sudden... Maybe because Chen used to have a gang of Cats....
>"Urameshiya! Did I scared you even a little bit, Nya?"
>"Shoo..... Why is this chilly place, and why do you do, Yuyuko-Shama?"
>"Nyahahaha! I saw that trick in that TV Box before!">You stop playing dead and proclaim that you saw that trick on TV, and ask if it scared Yuyuko.
>Stand proudly, and shiver a bit to show how cold we were.
>"Yuyuko-Shama~ do you know anyone with gray hair, and wears a green dress?"
> Attempt to introduce Ponga.>You remove your hat to reveal the rather scared Ponga, and he instantly zooms back into the hat.
>"Don't worry Ponga... You don't have to show yourself if you don't want to...">You try to calm Ponga down, but he's not having any of it, so you just put the hat back on your head.
>"Earlier I saw her, then she disappeared. How can she do that?"
> "Is she a superhero like on the TV?!">After hearing this, you ask excitedly if she's a superhero like on TV! Yuyuko of course, laughs in a vaguely familiar manner. Where have you heard that laugh before...Maybe it's someone you know?
> Excitement!
>"Nya, what do you do for "living~" Yuyuko-Shama? The dead seems to be rather harmless, and it must be rather boring with the TV box around here....">You ask Yuyuko what she does to pass the time, and she smiles in a rather familiarly mysterious manner. "All kinds of things~ Painting, Sewing, and many more~"
>Whisper to Yukari, "That Youmu Sheems to be the one we are looking for, Nya... Do you think if I can help her gardening she would us teach you cooking?"
Damn you Yukari!!!!
>"Nya, are you all right? seems to me that hitting tress has become a habit in netherworld..."
>"You must be... Youmoe right? I hope I got your name right... I am Hibatchi Yakumo, pleased to meet you, Nyan!" *hold out our hand for an possible hand shake*
To be honest... canonicly , is there any connection that Chen is a Yakumo family member by any means? hmmm
>Turn back to Yukari "Me? Ke? Nya?...."
>"Y-Yukari!?" Slightly panic. "I-I can't c-cook! Last time I touched that pot-looking thing it bit me!"Well, Chen's a member by way of being Ran's shikigami, who in turn is Yukari's shikigami.
That's an adventure we got in.. oh well...
>"Nya? I got reported? For what? That's does not mean of course I am going to turn into a ghost by any means, right?"
>"So your Myon is kinda like him, *show Ponga*? Your other half? *confused*"
>*nudge Yukari* *whisper* "Yes but I am doing this for the sake of both of us, so you are going to help me, yes? Let's move to the kitchen first."
Eye'm back baby!>You ask if you'll turn into a ghost by any means, and Yuyuko shakes her head, Youmu does too. "No, Myon simply keeps an eye on things while I perform my regular duties. Like a watchdog so to speak."
>Poke the ball.
>Try not to hurt it though, That'd be mean.
>"Why is this marshmellow following you Miss Youmnya?"
> Compliment Youmu on her handiwork regarding the garden.>You compliment Youmu's handiwork on the garden, and she nods. "I've been doing this for about...50 or so years? It's easy to lose track of time here. Time passes differently here in Hakugyoukurou, if at all. But gardening isn't all that I'm good at."
>Stare at that half-ghost thing.>You stare at Myon. It looks fluffy, like a yarnball...It couldn't hurt to just...could it?
>...Play around with it as if it was a ball of yarn.
>"Nya, I finally understand now! That thing that follows you.. is also you?"
>"...and sorry about that.. I am not used to ghosts at all."
>"Sho to speak...." *Explain the cooking crisis in Yakumo family again.
>*Whisper to Youmoe* "Honestly I wanna get out of the house, it's too crowdy there..."
>You say that you finally understand that Myon is in fact, Youmu too! And Yuyuko nods, seeing as how Youmu's out of it, she's practically giving off steam from how much she's blushing!>"Hmmm? Is that a myon in your pants or are you just happy to see me miss youmu?
>"Do you... ah, want me to stopnya?"
>"So if your ghost half were at the Yakumo house and you were here, I could speak to you anytime?">You ask Youmu if that means that if Myon was at your place, you could talk to her whenever. But she just shakes her head. "Not quite...Myon can only go so far away before both Myon and myself start feeling funny. Last time we tried that I nearly wound up becoming a full ghost. So i don't want to try that again anytime soon.."
>Ponder all those possibilities!
>Blush a bit once we asked that the Myon is also her.>You blush a little, which is natural.
>Do we know anything... about this feeling? It feels so warm...
>"Yukari, what were you, Yuyukao, and Ran-Shama talking about?"> Throw in a head tilt as well.
>"Yukari, what were you, Yuyukao, and Ran-Shama talking about?"
> Throw in a head tilt as well.>You ask what they're talking about, and also headtilt for good measure.
I don't know why either... :P>You resume the conversation with Youmu, who of course seems unfazed by it all, seems she's used to seeing others go beet-red, but not so used to that person being her. "I don't use it for cooking, no. There's a set of knives in the kitchen. I just use these to do the gardening mostly. There hasn't been much reason to bring them into a fight in a while. But lately...Well, I'll tell you as we're cooking lunch."
>*Continue with Youmu* "I figure... I am not quite that old in this world, but I certainly learning fast, Nya. Just... hey look, this sword of your, you use it for cooking? We should move on before... things get even stranger here...."
>"Chen you know anything about this...?"
>"Amazing, and you do all this by yourself?.... Nyann! Where did you get all this stuff?">You marvel at the size of it all, and ask how she got it all, and if she does it by herself. Youmu of course, is busy taking some kind of large knife to a rather large piece of meat with almost manic glee! Maybe you should ask later..? She does seem to be getting into it quite a lot...
>"Aha... he he.. I didn't thought too well, going into suit here in the first place, nyah..."
>Oh Yea... change time, at least the cooking "outfit" whatever it is... and wash hands, Nya. So go ahead and change... too bad we don't have Chen.. looking at us? To used to Ran I guess....
> Compliment Ponga on his hat-warping skills.
>Think about lasagna.>You compliment Ponga on his apparent hat teleportation, but he just stares blankly at you. Wait...when'd he get out from under the hat? Kedama sure are strange...
>...Wonder why we thought of lasagna.
>"And what is that we are making anyway? Do I get something like that too, Nyan? *look at large knife*"
>"Honestly.... let me take care of things, it can't be that hard..... Nya..."
>Still seek an opportunity to take Myon as hostage, if She would resist in teaching us anything and be "in the Zone", as is now...
>Also... see if Ponga smells anything good, maybe we don't need Youmu at all... We can make our own kitchen, Nya?
> Convenient time-skip go!>Go-Go Youkai Timeskip!
Sho... we learned anything today?
>"Oh yea... this isn't too big to fit onto Kotatsu?"
>"I guess.. it's better than my mama at least...*complement?*"
>What About Ponga? Is he interested into anything?
>Resist yourself against eating... or puking...
> "Cooking is so fun~!"What are we cooking?Yes, you learned that beef is very hard to put into a duck. And how you managed to get that roast pig in there, you'll never know.
> Food heaven~
> Head out with Youmu to deliver the yumminess.
>Sho.. what did we learned today? Just... cook it!>Food, glorious food~!
>Can't talk.... mouth full of water....
>Resist the temptation, and follow usual passage, and then.. FEAST!

>Eat... or not to eat? eee....>To eat, or not to eat? That is the question.
>Rush to the scream, if we do it in cat form it would be faster right? With the Athletic Wrappings on legs because we can.
>Make sure you have Ponga with you, not with the food... I hope it wont be eaten before we come back...
> Get our danmaku arm ready as it might be fightin' time.>You get ready for a fight if it comes to that.
>"Protect the food!">You say to protect the food...But then you remember you left it in the hall. Yuyuko of course simply laughs. "I suppose eating will have to wait~"
>"Ke...? It isn't that scary, Nya, what is it?"
>"Ponga, you know any of this?"
> Since we've got the Athletic Wrappings, apply them to our arms and fire the Iron Ring at it.>You decide to de-equip the Wrappings from your legs, and re-equip them to your arms.
> If that doesn't work, reapply the wrappings to our legs and power jump onto its back.
>You mention that it doesn't look that dangerous, and maybe it's tameable. "Perhaps, but they're quite irritable."Persona!
>"Oh it does not look that threatful... Maybe if we tame it, we can have it as a pet, Nya.."
>"It also does not fly, not at least now... Chen stop making a fool of yourself... "
>"On another note... the food's getting cold... Just get rid of it or something..."
> If nothing happens, try to catch up to it by flying and hitch a ride on it to try and stop it.>Luckily, you remember that you can fly, unlike Chen until you reminded her.
> Assess Nozuchi's outer anatomy for possible weak points.>You look the Nozuchi over for any weakpoints, but you don't find any. But then again, you've never seen anything like this before!
>What voice?
>Ignore the thing, rise into the air and see if it would follow you... at the worst we would have to eat at the roof...
>Also "Ponga could you bring me something to eat? Nya... I don't think it will leave any time soon... you can fly too of course, Nya?"
>"Yuyuko-Shama, maybe we could bring the food outside, Nya?"
>>The voice...It's kinda quiet, but it sounds like...couldn't be...Is it coming from the Nozuchi...? That's just weird.GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE SOLDIER
>Please please please oh god do not hit us
>Keep on moving, Make sure not to stop for anything, try to circle it if possible. If we cant hurt it, We can at least get it dizzy, right?
>Make a note that Yuyuko is prolly going at the food like a bear outta hibernation - make some more later.
>What voice? Are we becoming a Ghost Whisperer like in that one TV show Yukari-shama has shown us?!
>"Nya~? Bulgarian Soccer players eating ham while sleeping?"Thank god I'm not the only one that thought of this.
>"Nya~? Bulgarian Soccer players boiling ham while sleeping?"
>"Nya~? Bulgarian Soccer players eating ham while sleeping?"
Thank god I'm not the only one that thought of this.
>Are we near Yukari-shama or Miss Ran?
->If we are, can we try to repeat the sentence as best as we can? They might know what it means or something...
>Hell, Is this thing even TRYING to attack us? If it is, keep at it. If it isnt, tell everyone to back off.
>Maybe the voice is coming from that thing?
>Bulgarian soccer-players...? Of all the weird things to say.Kero-Shama, analyse the enemy! (http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/695348/cirno-fake_screenshot-kirisame_marisa-kochiya_sana)
>Yes.. we can try to repeat my version of it :P
>"Youmu-shama, have you happen to have any kind of rope we could use, this creature is like a dog, which got off his leash. We just need to put it on again.."
>"Anyway... if that wont work... I guess we would have to dispose of it in a different way..."
>And who is still with us?
>Hmmm... Hard choice... Do we tell everyone to let it go? It seems harmless...>Ooh...what to do...
>"Ummm... Miss Youmnya? Can we... Can we let this thing go? Also, Do you know what these are?"
>Show her the Macca.
>do the macarena
>Slowly walk to it, and pet it.>You slowly walk over..or would, if you were on the ground. So you float over to pet it instead. It seems to sorta like it..
>Show the coin Ran gave us to the Nozuchi. "Macca?"
Not that it wasn't to except.. but..>You ask the Nozuchi to stop stampeding, but it just seems confused. "H'vneat I eneb nidog atht rladaey?"
