>Dream....

[Kips McKipzerson]

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.

Any idea how many arcs there are, and how long it may take? Three threads?

I kinda hope its longer than that. :3

Erecting a timeskip here!

Here's a special post, it's time for...

~Hanzo's Q&A Corner!~

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.

>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"?

"That"? Why, it's a little foreshadowing for Arc #2~
But that was the general idea.

I kinda hope its longer than that. :3

I intend to have this go on for at least an entire year, maybe even longer!
I'm gonna set a record!

[Kips McKipzerson]

Welp, Kippy's going to be here, >ing it all till the end.
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~"

Holy crap.

Welp here's hoping we can make this happen! :3

> Look around sleepily.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Plot world domination, using our cuteness

>Find Chen

[Hanzo K.]

Holy crap.
Welp here's hoping we can make this happen! :3

> Look around sleepily.

Aye!
I know ambition has been the downfall of many a good man, but these days you can't get anywhere without it!
>You stare around in a bleary haze...It sure has been a while since you became a youkai hasn't it? You've been through so much.
>You've gotten better at fighting, you've learned how to fly, you've even started getting past that pesky problem of not being able to read!
>Things in your room, a new addition to the Yakumo Residence, are the same as they've always been since you started using it. Your collection of books is off in one corner, haphazardly piled up. Ponga's bed isn't too far from there, with Ponga occupying it as he should. And your own television isn't much further from there! Attached to the TV is a fun little device from the outside that Yukari called a 'Gamestation X4'. You've logged quite a bit of time on it, under the pretenses of improving your reading skills.

Welp, Kippy's going to be here, >ing it all till the end.
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 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?
>You call for Ponga, and he hovers out of his little bed in a rather sleepy haze. Ponga bumps into a pile of your books, causing them to topple onto him. Some things never change. You smile almost nostalgically, thinking back to when you first met Ponga, and the fight with Kanako where he tried to help. That was fun.

>Plot world domination, using our cuteness
>Find Chen

>You'd look for Chen, but you should probably get dressed first.
>You wander over to your closet and open it to see row upon row of near-identical sets of clothes. Oh, there's that outfit Suwako gave you a few months back...Huh, when did that suit get in there? Yukari must be fooling around. But damn, that is a nice-looking suit.

[Kasu]

> Go for the suit.  Its time to be a classy kitty.
> Look for Chen.

[Berzul]

>Give us a visitation of our selection of clothes.. plsss
>Our bandages, are they off already or..?
>"Ponga, don't run into objects please...."
>"NYAAAA *Stretch out*"

[Hanzo K.]

>Give us a visitation of our selection of clothes.. plsss
>Our bandages, are they off already or..?
>"Ponga, don't run into objects please...."
>"NYAAAA *Stretch out*"

>Your clothes are as follows.

• Hibachi Kimono x5
  These are exact copies of the outfit you had when you became a Youkai. With one small difference, they have a small patch on the sleeve that looks like a bee. You think it looks quite cute.
• Miko Outfit
  Suwako gave you this when you woke up after the fight with Kanako.
• Classy Suit
  Yukari probably gave you this when you learned how to fly, you don't really remember. It even has a top hat!

>The bandages have been off for a week now, you still had to wear them when you were learning how to fly, due in part to your propensity to crash into humorous situations Like that time you crashed right into a beehive, you had to be wrapped up like a mummy for a few days after that!
>You kindly admonish Ponga for bumping into things, and he pokes out from under a book still looking quite asleep. Looks like he's not completely awake yet.
>You stretch to wake up and loosen up. That felt good!

> Go for the suit.  Its time to be a classy kitty.
> Look for Chen.

>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.
>You walk out of your room to find Chen, and you see her snoozing under a tree in the courtyard. You probably shouldn't wake her, last night was a rowdy one, filled with much celebration. Why? You finally mastered flight, which Yukari thought was cause for celebration.

~Skill List Updated!~
Flight
This skill is known by almost every youkai. But for some reason or another you lacked it, so you had to learn it the hard way.
You can fly to various locales, but Yukari advised you against flying to places you don't fully know about.
Known Places:

• Mayohiga
• Youkai Mountain

[Berzul]

>Also with the suit, make sure you get your usual items.
>Fly quietly towards Chen
>Land behind her, and put your hands at her eyes from behind.
>"Peekaboo~"

[Hanzo K.]

>Also with the suit, make sure you get your usual items.
>Fly quietly towards Chen
>Land behind her, and put your hands at her eyes from behind.
>"Peekaboo~"

>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.
>You fly over to Chen as quietly as you can to try to surprise her, but she flips out when you touch her! "WHOWHATWHEREWHENWHYHOW?!"
>She flips out so much that she flies upwards a bit too fast, and hits her head on one of the tree's low-hanging branches. "B'duh!" You can't help but facepalm.

[Berzul]

>Tame to the poor kitten
>"Did you get hurt Chen-Shama?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Tame to the poor kitten
>"Did you get hurt Chen-Shama?"

Clarify please?

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Help Chen up.

>"Nyaa... I'm sowwy I didn't meant to scare THAT much."

[Berzul]

Clarify please?

Suppose to be "Tend to..." But did not have time to change it.. while something else poped up in my mind then...

[Hanzo K.]

>Tend to the poor kitten
>"Did you get hurt Chen-Shama?"

>Help Chen up.
>"Nyaa... I'm sowwy I didn't meant to scare THAT much."

>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!"
>You aren't sure what to make of what she's saying, maybe she hit her head a bit too hard? And to be honest, you have no idea how she managed to pronounce the third one.

[Berzul]

>"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.

[Kips McKipzerson]

>Stop. Hibachi time.
>Soft palm strike to her forehead should work.

[Hanzo K.]

>"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.
>Soft palm strike to her forehead should work.

>You try calling to Chen, but all you get out of her is the same nonsensical babble from earlier.
>You try shaking her a bit while you try it again, but nothing much changes, like last time.
>You sigh exasperatedly and try a bit of percussive maintenance with a light blow to her head, and it seems to work somewhat, if to at least quiet her down.
>Maybe you should drag her along with you to Ran or Yukari? If you can even find them that is.

[Kips McKipzerson]

>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.

[Kasu]

> "Ran-shama, Yukari-shama!  I t-think I b-broke Chen-shama!"
> Sniffles.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>During the timeskip, anything new that we didn't learn about yet?

>Movitvate Chen!

[Hanzo K.]

>During the timeskip, anything new that we didn't learn about yet?
>Movitvate Chen!

>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.)
>You try to motivate Chen, but that just gets her to babbling again. "Ooh, what's that? Oh what's that? Ooh, that thing has numbers on it! Do you smell something burning? Oh hi, you're the lady from the test!"
>You wonder if something got knocked askew when she hit her head.

>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!"
> Sniffles.

>You drag Chen around aimlessly, somehow she's flat on her face during all this.
>After a few minutes of dragging her around, you find Ran busying herself at what you've been taught is something called a computer. It's some kind of weird shikigami that's really weak to water, wonder why?
>Ran notices you, and gives you a rather puzzled and inquiring look. "Why are you dragging Chen around like that?"
>You respond to her question in a rather sniffly way while saying you might have broke her. Ran facepalms. "Let me guess, you tried to surprise her? I would've thought that you of all people would know that cats don't take kindly to being surprised." Oops?
>And as if in response to some of Chen's babble, you do smell something burning. Ran notices it too, and remarks in a rather exasperated way "Damn, I hope Mistress Yukari isn't trying to cook again. She knows what happened last time."
>You shudder inwardly when you remember what happened last time Yukari tried to cook. Everyone had to stay in the winter cottage until the place got repaired, it was a total disaster. The entire roof got blasted off, and several walls were reduced to ashes despite the wards Yukari placed. But you suppose it was as good an excuse as any to add your room, as well as expand the courtyard.

[Kips McKipzerson]

You made ran orange :V
>Do we know how to put it out?
>Maybe, juuuuust maybe we should ask Yukari to not make food?

[Berzul]

>"Nya... Maybe we should use that non firery heating thing, I saw the other day in the Box, Ran-Shama?"
>"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.

[Hanzo K.]

You made ran orange :V
>Do we know how to put it out?
>Maybe, juuuuust maybe we should ask Yukari to not make food?

That has been fixed.
>You know a little bit, but you hear that someone out in the Bamboo Forest is the most talented person at putting out fires. But you have no clue where that is yet.
>Maybe Yukari shouldn't try to cook anymore...

>"Nya... Maybe we should use that non firery heating thing, I saw the other day in the Box, Ran-Shama?"
>"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.

>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?
>You say that you didn't mean to, and that you just wanted to see if she had the same reaction as you do, and Ran nods understandingly. "Well, you know now to not try it when there's something solid overhead, yes?" You nod in agreement.
>You ask Ran to tend to Chen while you check the kitchen, and Ran starts to pick Chen up and lead her off to a nondescript corner of the room where she's the least likely to hurt herself, or break something. You guess she got the gist of it?
>So you dash over to the kitchen, to find Yukari cheerfully singing to herself while trying to cook eggs, blissfully unaware of the fact that she's burning them horribly. You can't help but facepalm. At least she's not using that..what was it? A Microwave? Yeah, that was it.

[Berzul]

>"MOTHER! Do you know the difference between cooked and burned?"
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..."
