Meira Quest (Part 2)
« on: September 15, 2011, 10:50:46 PM »
> You are Sonozaki Meira, currently eight years old.  You were born in the village of Mayohiga in the year 102, and have lived here for the entirety of your short life without ever leaving.  The year is currently 110.
> Mayohiga was a small village within the secluded mountains of Gensokyo, parallel to Youkai Mountain, legendary for being filled with youkai.  The village of Mayohiga itself was a quiet and peaceful, albeit sparsely populated.  It was Sonozaki clan's duty to defend Mayohiga against youkai, which sometimes come into the village to spirit away or eat humans.  You are a part of the Sonozaki clan, and most likely the only one left alive.
> Two days ago, you found a conical hat in the forest where you frequently played with your cousins.
> Yesterday was the first day of summer, and you went back into the forest with the hat.  While playing there, you discovered the original owner of the hat, a tanuki girl named Kouyoshi who was masquerading as your eldest cousin Sayane.  Upon returning home from the forest, you found that the village was in ruins, on fire, and inhabited by monstrous youkai.  Aided by Kouyoshi, you were able to get a katana from your house and flee from the village, but not before discovering that the blame lies in the hands of a kitsune, a rare and powerful youkai.  You have resolved to get revenge, but there is the issue of finding somewhere to stay and learning how to fight, first.
> You have travelled with Kouyoshi through the Forest of Magic and met the youkai Rumia.  You have travelled with her and Kouyoshi to the Human Village and met the teacher Kamishirasawa Keine and her friend Fujiwara no Mokou.  Mokou has agreed to teach you how to fight the kitsune, although exactly how she will do this is still a mystery.  You have befriended Rumia and are currently getting used to the Human Village.  You and Kouyoshi have travelled to the Bamboo Forest during your excursion of the Human Village.  You have come across two youkai, one of which knows of someone who may know a thing or two about the kitsune, and you have decided to go looking for them.  You have found yourselves caught up in a rabbit stampede, which you have joined in a return to the Bamboo Forest to stop Mokou from hurting the Rabbit Princess.  Upon reaching the source of the explosions, you have found a huge inferno.
> You are currently at a series of wells with a dozen or so rabbits, fetching buckets of water to put out the inferno with.

> Keep helping with the water!  We wanna help the bunnies!

> You look back at the shape you saw...a building?
> Kisume uses the nearest Bunbunmaru to cover her head as she quivers on the ground.  "You'd better be!"
> You head over to the nearest well, where rabbits are already running from with buckets of water.  The silky-haired rabbit hands you a bucket of water and directs you towards the other rabbits.  She then fills a bucket of water for herself and starts sprinting off with the others.

> Run and help put out the fire!

> You run with the other rabbits back to the inferno.  You see Kouyoshi and the rest of the rabbits darting around the edges of the flames, shouting to "calm down already" and "the forest is going to burn".  You and the other rabbits throw your buckets of water at the fire, and then wheel around to return to the wells.  The water you just threw doesn't seem to have calmed the fire down even noticeably...

> Keep trying!  We gotta keep it from spreading. :ohdear:

> You and the rabbits keep going back and forth, back and forth.  It feels like forever, and even when your breathing is ragged and your muscles ache from all the running, you keep throwing water on the fire.  As the fire finally dies down to manageable levels, Kouyoshi and other rabbits rush in.  There's a lot of yelling, and after more buckets of water are thrown, you see two figures being dragged away from each other by force.

> Who are those two people? They gotta be crazy to be fighting in that fire!

> You barely recognize one as Mokou, who is bleeding heavily and badly burnt.  Her left arm is limp and dangling, and there is a bloody gash on her face.  She is covering her right arm with her stomach, from which blood is oozing.  Her cracked lips are parted in a wild grin, and you think you hear her cackling softly.
> The other is a woman with hair as long as Mokou's but inky black.  Her pink and maroon robes are badly torn, and you see one of her knees bent at an odd angle.  Her neck has deep burn marks in it, and her bangs are matted to her forehead and face, which are slick with blood.  She wheezes, and about five more rabbits rush to her side, among them the carrot rabbit.  Kouyoshi is busy stamping out nearby flames.
> Honestly, it's a miracle their hair hasn't burned off.

> You approach Mokou, and immediately regret it.  With her injuries she looks even worse up close.  What's wrong with her stomach?  How is she not dead?  Even one of her eyelids is torn, and so is her neck...
> Mokou glances at you.
> "I'm fine.  If I had known you were going to come here beforehand, I would've told you not to."

> You try to keep calm.  You're not a little kid, after all.

> Okay, let's not look directly at Mokou.

> You decide to stop looking directly at Mokou.  You just ate...
> Mokou lifts the arm that's not hanging like a limp noodle and points to the black-haired woman currently being fussed over by a group of rabbits.  "Her Majesty is right over there."

> "Don't waste your clothes on me," Mokou says, poking experimentally at her ripped up stomach.  "It's a little late for that."

> Still, you can't help but cringe.  She's so torn up...

>Wave arms for empathsis.

>There is a time and a place to wave arms.

> You consider waving your arms, but you're too nervous to do so.
> At the other side of the clearing, the black-haired woman stands up, leaning on the carrot rabbit for support.
> "Looks like I won this round," she calls out, but the small smile on her face looks strained, and she's swaying on her feet.

> "Who is this child?"
> "A human!"
> "We've never seen her before."
> The woman raises her hand to hush the rabbits as she continues to talk.  "Dying?  Don't be ridiculous, child.  And why would I be a rabbit?"

>"Could it be that... you're like Kouyoshi!?"

> Kouyoshi looks completely taken off guard.  She points to herself, as if a little unsure.
