Youkai Quest: Unknown Adventure! (The Adventure Begins!)

[Dragoshi]

>"Nyaaaahh... Huh..? Sorry, just kinda conked out there for a bit."

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Look at the box to see if the funny talking people are back on.

[Hanzo K.]

>"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."
>It's the next day? Looks like it is according to the cat....wait, how is the cat talking?!
>You Feel Refreshed! ....But you're still hungry....

> Look at the box to see if the funny talking people are back on.

>You do so!
>....But it doesn't seem to have anything on it other than some colored bars and a weird noise.

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Does the cat's voice seem familiar to us?

> 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.

[Kips McKipzerson]

>Wave to the box
>"Hello? I'm Hibavhi-nya"

[Hanzo K.]

> Does the cat's voice seem familiar to us?
> 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.

>Yes, it sounds like Chen, but how could that be? Chen's a girl like you! .....You think.
>You ask how it's talking, and it gets off you, only to transform into Chen before your very eyes!
>"I thought you knew about Cat Form, Hibachi-chan."
>You move over to the box that Ran called a television, and fiddle with the knobs and buttons, all of a sudden a show that appears to be about cooking comes on, you find this oddly-talking man rather amusing.

>Wave to the box
>"Hello? I'm Hibachi-nya"

>You wave to the funny man in the television.
>Chen giggles somewhat. "He's just a television show Hibachi-chan, and a funny one too! ...Even if nobody can understand what he says."
>Chen grins and plonks herself down right next to you in front of the television.

[Doll.S CUBE]

> Ask Chen how she transforms.

> Fiddle with the knobs some more, we must find the funny talking people again.

[Kyo Tanaka]

> If we cannot find the funny talking people, ask Chen to how we work the knobs to make it show the funny talking people.

[Kips McKipzerson]

>"Cat Form? But arent I already a cat?"
>Inquire more.
>BECOME A MUPPET

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"How can I get cat form, nyan?"
>"And.... does this all mean I'm a shigi... kishi... shikigami too, nyanya?"

[Hanzo K.]

> 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.

> 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?"

>Chen seems rather puzzled now, she also appears to be thinking harder than one would expect. maybe she's going to have another headache like before? Let's hope not.
>"It's uh.....kinda hard to say how, you just, uh...know how, try visualizing yourself as a cat, it works for me."
>"And nah, you aren't a shikigami as far I can tell, you'd have to have an earring like mine, that marks a youkai as a shikigami...according to Ran-sama that is. But I don't know all the details, I'm still learning too y'know."

[Dragoshi]

>Learn how to roll your r's for later. Yanno, just because. :Vc
>Think of cats. Become the kitty. Become the kitty.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"Is it good to be a shikigami?"
>Visualize myself as a cat. Let's see if that works

[Hanzo K.]

>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."
>You think of yourself as a cat...and suddenly Chen looks a lot taller.
~BGM: Nya?~
>Chen also seems pretty happy too. "See? I told you it works!"

[Kyo Tanaka]

> Purr, and be cute, as cute as possible.

>"Ice fairy?"

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>And imagine my human form again. woo, shapeshift

[Hanzo K.]

> Purr, and be cute, as cute as possible.
>"Ice fairy?"

>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 team dai-gurren you roll!
>You also inquire about the ice fairy, Chen seems all too happy to tell you about her. "Yeah, she lives over at the Misty Lake, her name's Cirno, she claims to be pretty strong, and she is strong as far fairies are concerned. So she might be a good first opponent for you. But I'll warn you, she's been a bit...strange lately."

>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.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Opponent?"

[Doll.S CUBE]

> "Strange?"

[Hanzo K.]

>"Opponent?"

>You ask Chen about this, finding it rather confusing.
>"Yeah, here in Gensokyo we solve problems with spellcard duels. You have to know how to fight in them to get anywhere here, but since you're a youkai you should be able to use danmaku just fine. Spellcards are more advanced stuff really, so most weaker youkai like Fairies stick to just regular danmaku. Cirno's an exception though, she has spellcards."

> "Strange?"

>You inquire as to how strange.
>"Yeah, lately she's been picking fights with anyone who comes near the lake, even her own friends! Wriggle had to stay at Eientei for a whole month!"

[Hello Purvis]

>"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?

[Kips McKipzerson]

>"But why do you think she's being so mean nya? I'm not even suer I can beat her..."
>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 the fuck it was about.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>How about any combat experience?

[Kasu]

> Execute adorable head tilt.
> "Danmaku, nya?"

[Hanzo K.]

>"But why do you think she's being so mean nya? I'm not even suer I can beat her..."
>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 the fuck it was about.

You ask Chen why(as you've been doing since you met her), and she shrugs in a very puzzled way.
>"Nobody knows, I hear she even managed to drive off the Red-White when she went to go see what was happening. That's not something that usually happens, I should know since I've fought the Red-White before."
>You have a vague idea of what they are, having just had one.
>You describe the utter acid trip that was your dream, and Chen just looks at you in utter confusion.
>"Uh...Um...Uh...yeah, I've got nothing, that's really confusing."
>Chen holds her head in confusion, it seems that it's a bit of a mindscrew for her, wonder why?

>"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.
>You don't really have much experience outside of fighting as a cat, but you figure you might be able to use this 'danmaku' Chen mentioned okay, you just have a feeling.
>You say to Chen that it's kinda mean, and that she should try to beat her up, but she shakes her head.
>"Cirno's beaten even the Red-White, and the Red-White beat me last time I fought her, I don't think I'd have a chance..."
>Chens ears droop when she says this, looking a mite depressed. And rather cute too, Isn't it Sad Sacchin Chen?

> Execute adorable head tilt.
> "Danmaku, nya?"

>You headtilt rather adorably, and ask what danmaku is, and Chen seems to giggle and cheer up a bit at your question.
>"It's kinda...well, I'm not too sure how to explain it, it's like concentrated magic kinda, you shoot them at what you need to. Annoying friends, folks who want to beat you up, even various surrounding things. Spellcards are all that and more, just a more concentrated form of danmaku."
>Chen makes an aside glance at you on the last one. "Lily White's fond of that last one, she uses it all the time."

[Dragoshi]

> "Hmm... Say. Maybe I could get a better idea of how this whole danmaku thing works if we practiced it a little bit, nyah."

[Kips McKipzerson]

> Be extremely Moe~
>"Magic? I dont think I can do that though... I just woke up and everything nya."

[Hanzo K.]

> Be extremely Moe~
>"Magic? I dont think I can do that though... I just woke up and everything nya."

>You're already Moe, the only way you could be any more Moe would be if you were named Moe!
>You say this, and Chen seems to stifle a laugh. "There's no need to worry about that, all youkai can do it."

> "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!"
>With that she walks over to a door and beckons you over. "You coming-nya?"

[Kips McKipzerson]

>"Yeah just give me a second~"
> Say goodbye to the "Television". You dont want to be rude after all.
>"Okay, I'm ready nya~"
>Change name to Moe

[Dragoshi]

>Now to follow Chen out. Don't run out on all fours unless you need to. :V
