Meira Quest (Part 4)

[Hanzo K.]

>"Kouyoshi...She was the one who got hurt the worst. There were bones sticking out and everything at first..."

[Insert the next commands from anyone else here]

>"...Compared to the injuries she got, mine are just scratches. I'm gonna have to get a lot stronger...So I can make sure none of my friends get hurt like this again."

>"Kouyoshi...She was the one who got hurt the worst. There were bones sticking out and everything at first..."
>"...Compared to the injuries she got, mine are just scratches. I'm gonna have to get a lot stronger...So I can make sure none of my friends get hurt like this again."

> "Ouch."  Mokou's voice is flat.
> She listens to you talk until you're finished, before saying something herself.
> "That's cool and all, but keep in mind that you're only human.  If you're bleeding out onto the floor, then it's not just 'scratches'."  Mokou gestures to your feet.

"Well, uhm"  start to wave arms before it hurts too much.

"What should I do?"

[Yonowaaru]

>"What was Keine doing out in the fields, Mokou?"

[日巫子]

"Well, uhm"  start to wave arms before it hurts too much.

"What should I do?"

> Ow, ow, waving your arms hurts.
> "Well...you should probably change those bandages and change into something that isn't covered with blood.  I'll handle this."  Mokou pokes Kouyoshi in the stomach.

>"What was Keine doing out in the fields, Mokou?"

> "Cooling her head," Mokou says.

> _

[Sect]

> "Cooling her head?" Cock our head at her.
> Go find bandages and a new yukata to change into. "Ugh... Keine's gonna be so mad about the new yukata being messed up..."
> Hopefully she doesn't headbutt us! That hurt!

[日巫子]

> "Cooling her head?" Cock our head at her.
> Go find bandages and a new yukata to change into. "Ugh... Keine's gonna be so mad about the new yukata being messed up..."
> Hopefully she doesn't headbutt us! That hurt!

> "Yeah."  Mokou starts unwrapping Kouyoshi from the shrine maiden clothes.  "Is this her true form or something?  She's kind of shrimpy for a tanuki."
> You retrieve the rest of the bandages from your first aid kit.  You don't have another yukata, but you do have your original clothes.
> Hopefully, Keine will understand your predicament.
> "Not really," Mokou says.  "She's not too particular about that kind of stuff."

> _

[Sect]

> Start unwrapping our old bandages. "But she headbutted me when I borrowed a fishing pole from the rabbits..."
> How do our wounds look? Should we wash them or something?

[日巫子]

> Start unwrapping our old bandages. "But she headbutted me when I borrowed a fishing pole from the rabbits..."
> How do our wounds look? Should we wash them or something?

> "She won't headbutt you for getting chewed up," Mokou says.  "Just calm down."
> You unwrap the bandages from your legs and right arm.  Both the bandages and the wounds are pretty bloody; if you're not careful, they could get infected.

> _

[Sect]

> Whimper. Um... what should we do to disinfect them?

[日巫子]

> Whimper. Um... what should we do to disinfect them?

> Oh, no...
> You'd probably need to get them clean, and then get clean bandages...that's the best you can think of.

> _

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>We can only do so much on our own...

>"Ca... Can you help us then?"

[日巫子]

>We can only do so much on our own...

>"Ca... Can you help us then?"

> It takes more than one person to lift a stone wall, after all.
> "'Kay."  Mokou picks up Kouyoshi and reaches for the bandages.
> Kouyoshi's eyes open, and she squirms a little.  What's going on?

> _

[Sect]

> "Kouyoshi, Kouyoshi! Mokou's gonna help! And, uh..." Look at our wounds. "Um... I'm gonna clean up, and then I'll help, too!"
> Grab some clean bandages. "Thanks, Mokou!" Try to find our way to the water pump outside.

[日巫子]

> "Kouyoshi, Kouyoshi! Mokou's gonna help! And, uh..." Look at our wounds. "Um... I'm gonna clean up, and then I'll help, too!"
> Grab some clean bandages. "Thanks, Mokou!" Try to find our way to the water pump outside.

> Kouyoshi's tail twitches.  Ok.
> "'S dark out there," Mokou warns.
> You take a roll of bandages and head out of the schoolhouse.
> It got dark fast out here; you can see the full moon rising in the starry sky.  It's really pretty, especially with the cries of the bugs.  As you trudge through the grass to the water pump, you even see fireflies, floating in the air.  Their movements are not unlike Mii's, who you left back with Kouyoshi and Mokou.

> _

[Sect]

> Mii will be fine... though she's probably hungry. Go find a water pump, using a ball of flame as a light, and start washing our wounds.
> ... ohhhh this is going to hurt...

[nolrai2]

Maybe we should use some sake on the wounds? that would hurt though...

[日巫子]

> Mii will be fine... though she's probably hungry. Go find a water pump, using a ball of flame as a light, and start washing our wounds.
> ... ohhhh this is going to hurt...

> It's a miracle Mii didn't get hurt at all.
> You make a note to get her something to eat later.
> You summon a ball of light that illuminates the back yard.  With it, you make your way over to the water pump a little ways away.  You then turn on the water pump, bracing yourself for the worst.
> Freezing cold water gushes out of the faucet, shocking you.  However, within a few minutes, it actually feels a little nice.  The blood is caked on your legs and washes away slowly, but surely.

Maybe we should use some sake on the wounds? that would hurt though...

> You try to remember if alcohol would make a good disinfectant.  Then again, it would sting.

> _

[Sect]

> Wash away the blood on our legs and arms, then inspect them with the light of the fire. How do our wounds look, now?

[日巫子]

> Wash away the blood on our legs and arms, then inspect them with the light of the fire. How do our wounds look, now?

> You wash away the rest of the blood, which takes about a few minutes.  You bring the fireball closer to you and inspect your wounds.  They don't look as bad as they did earlier.

> _

[Sect]

> That's good. Bandage them nice and tight, then!
> Let's go back inside and check on Kouyoshi.

[日巫子]

> That's good. Bandage them nice and tight, then!
> Let's go back inside and check on Kouyoshi.

> You rebandage your legs and arm; it feels a little tight, but you should get used to it.
> Now that you have fresh bandages, you run back into the schoolhouse.
> You walk back into the room to find that Mokou has put fresh bandages over Kouyoshi's head, and wrapped them around her torso.  She's now brushing through Kouyoshi's matted fur while Mii rolls around on the floor, chirping.

> _

[Sect]

> Kneel next to Kouyoshi. "Will she be all right?"

[nolrai2]

Pet mii some.
She's been a loyal friend.

We should figure out who the god of Toufou is. Or the god of retribution.

[日巫子]

> Kneel next to Kouyoshi. "Will she be all right?"

> Kouyoshi looks over at you.
> Yeah, I'm fine.  Phew, I was clawed up really bad, though...

Pet mii some.
She's been a loyal friend.

> You reach out and stroke Mii's fur.  She makes some squeaking noises.

> _

[Sect]

> "Oh, that's a relief... sorry about letting her hurt you that badly... I knew I should have dug that dog pit, first... are you hungry?"

[日巫子]

> "Oh, that's a relief... sorry about letting her hurt you that badly... I knew I should have dug that dog pit, first... are you hungry?"

> It's fine.  Kouyoshi rolls over as Mokou brushes the fur out on her stomach.  I wouldn't mind something to eat, but are you ok?
> "Nope."  Mokou pokes Kouyoshi in the stomach.
> Pffft.  Kouyoshi squirms.

> _

[Sect]

> "I'm okay. I changed my bandages, see? I'll get that kitsune next time. Her and that person that said that she should attack Mayohiga. And Mokou shouldn't poke people when they're defenseless." Poke Mokou in the tummy.
> Stand up. "I'm gonna get a snack. What do you want, Kouyoshi?"

[日巫子]

> "I'm okay. I changed my bandages, see? I'll get that kitsune next time. Her and that person that said that she should attack Mayohiga. And Mokou shouldn't poke people when they're defenseless." Poke Mokou in the tummy.
> Stand up. "I'm gonna get a snack. What do you want, Kouyoshi?"

> Cool.  Kouyoshi's ears perk up.  We'll have to be sneakier next time, though.
> Mokou's cheeks puff out, and she nearly drops Kouyoshi as she tries not to laugh.
> Nothing in particular, Kouyoshi says.

"You were really good toufu!"
