Title: Parsee Quest (Part 2)
Post by: 日巫子 on January 17, 2011, 03:50:48 PM
> You are Mizuhashi Parsee, and the surface is a mess.
> You've lived Underground for almost your entire life, but you've finally taken a trip to the surface for various reasons.  An earthquake happened, Hell's Moon is missing, Koishi's missing, Yuugi's the only Deva underground, and you suddenly got the urge to figure out what happened to that comatose girl's hat.
> You've found out that Komeiji Koishi, Satori's little sister, has been missing for quite some time.  You've met up with Yuugi and got important information about Konngara, one of the Devas who left for the surface.  You've visited the Palace of the Earth Spirits and formally accepted the task of finding Koishi.  You've found out from Utsuho that the nuclear reactor has stopped working, and that a mysterious "snake lady" hasn't visited for months.  When you got to the surface, you at least found out that Hell's Moon went and flipped its shit, perma-killing fairies and possibly taking out the legendary red-white and black-white.  You've met Cirno, an ice fairy(?) and leader of fairies, who has recently become your friend.  You've traveled to the strange mansion by the lake, only to get chased out after hawking a bottle of wine and smashing two doors.  You've gone to the Human Village and met Mokou, who gave you a decent explanation as to what's going on, and pointed you to Keine.  You've been headbutted by Keine and feigned amnesia for a little bit, but you're sure you've got Keine and Minoriko on your side.  You've found out what happened to Suika, too.  You've visited the Myouren Temple in hopes of finding Kaguya, who you were told knows where Koishi is.  You've gotten that information, as well as a lowdown on the Bamboo Forest, Eirin, and Reisen, the crazy rabbit who's currently running amok in it.  You've been to Kourindou and obtained a strange little stone that lets you see peoples' auras and other invisible stuff.  You've gotten Mokou to join you and Cirno on a trip through the Bamboo Forest, which proves to be every bit of a labyrinth as Kaguya said it was.  You've interrogated a few youkai rabbits and gotten then to take your group to Eientei, where you discovered a lot of rabbits.  You've learned that Tewi has a few screws loose and is entirely convinced that Star Sapphire, Cirno's friend, is princess Kaguya.  You've managed to break Tewi via having Mokou being nice to "Kaguya". 
> You're currently negotiating with the youkai rabbits on how to find Koishi, because she's in this forest and  you're going to be damned if you don't get her out of here safely.

Inventory:

> Foreign-looking dress (currently worn)
> Scarf (currently worn)
> x1 newspaper fragment
  > It has a missing ad for Komeiji Koishi on it.  You'd better hang onto this for reference.
> x3 sweet potatoes (roasted)
  > You got these from Mokou when you first arrived outside the Human Village.
> x6 spellcards
  > Taken from the comatose surface world girl.  Copying down the characters written on them would have been a pain, so you took them with you.
  > According to Tokiko, the cards are named "Long-Arm and Long-Leg", "Moreya's Iron Ring", "Jade of the Horrid River", "Frog is Eaten by Snake due to Croak", "Native Myth vs Central Myth", and "Mishaguji-sama".
> x1 chair
  > Souvenir from the lake mansion's gate.
> x1 bottle of spring
  > It's a sealed bottled with a pretty flower inside.  It's a one-use item that doubles as an attack--a strong gust of wind--and a way of being able to produce flowers.
> x1 seeing stone
  > A triangular stone with a circle inscribed in it.  If you hold it up to your eye, you can see things that are normally invisible.
> x1 compass
  > Borrowed from Kourindou for the purpose of navigating through the Bamboo Forest.


Quests:

> Find Koishi
  > A satori girl from the Palace of the Earth Spirits has gone missing.  It's up to you to safely retrieve her and quell the worries of the other residents of the palace!  You've learned that she has travelled to the surface to visit Suika.  You won't be able to talk to Suika any time soon, but you've also learned that Kaguya last saw her in the Bamboo Forest...where there also happens to be a crazy rabbit running around.  Oops.

> Learn more about Konngara
  >While Yuugi did give me a good amount of information about her, there might be some more information about her that might prove useful in the near future.  You've recently learned that Konngara might have something to do with Hell's Moon.  She was also trying to find a "Hakurei Shrine" for some reason.

> And the hat...?
  > The comatose girl is from the surface world, but you didn't find a hat with her clothes.  This bothers you enough to want to take matters into your own hands.

>  Immaterial and Missing Suika
  > You've learned that Suika must still be alive, but she has been 'gapped.'  You don't know what that means, but you figure that Yuugi would want to know.

> Skills:
  > You're pretty good at danmaku and using spell cards (that shrine maiden can testify to this).  Your deck currently consists of Green Eyed Monster, Shiro's Ashes, Large Box and Small Box, and Midnight Anathema Ritual.
  > You can also induce jealousy.  The circumference of your influence varies from 10 to 20 meters.

> Jealousy gauge: (Capacity: 8/9)
  > Rin has a stable job
  > Konngara is stealthy and has mysterious near-omniscience regarding the city
  > Koishi has a family
  > Yuugi's too kind
  > Yuugi's too cozy and warm
  > Yamame and Kisume get paid attention to in the hospital
  > Jealousy for no reason
  > Cirno is the strongest really strong

>"Gonna need to find a magician type or something..."
>"So, when was the last time Koishi was here?"

> You don't know any magician types.  This could be a problem.
> The rabbits shout over each other, but the majority says "last week".

> How are we doing as far as hunger/exhaustion?

> "Goddammit."
> "Oh, she's at the Myouren Temple.  I'll head out, then."  Mokou gets off the ground, puts her hands in her pockets, and starts to saunter off.
> You've been so preoccupied with other things that you haven't noticed your physical condition slip.  You're faring pretty badly as far as hunger and exhaustion go, but you think you can keep going for a while longer.

> You stand so that you're slightly in front of Star.
> Cirno stands up and looks towards the forest when she hears Star making a commotion, as do some of the rabbits.  The bamboo rustles, and...
> ...oh, Mokou has returned with Kaguya.  So have the rabbits Tewi sent out.
> Speaking of which, Mokou and Kaguya look like a ton of rocks fell on them.  Their clothes are torn, they're covered in blood, and they look angry.  Mokou is half-dragging Kaguya by the waist, and is yanking her hair with her free hand.  Kaguya is punching Mokou repeatedly in the stomach.  Amusingly, the rabbits are completely unharmed.
> "I'm back," Mokou growls.  She throws Kaguya on the ground and walks to the remains of Eientei.  There, she lies down on her side and starts picking bamboo splinters out of her teeth.

>Be amused.
>Eat one of our potatoes.
>Share one with Cirno. It's like a movie. So food isn't out of place.

> You're in a better mood now, and decide to share a sweet potato with Cirno while you eat another.  Cirno splits hers in half and shares that with Star, and you all sit around in the grass and watch the rabbits flock Kaguya and fuss over her.
> "Personal space, personal space!" Kaguya groans as she shoos the rabbits away from her.  She drags herself off the ground and lurks over to the opposite side of Eientei's remains, as far away from Mokou as possible.  All the while, she gripes about the state of the mansion.
> "Look at this, such a mess...at least the rabbits have gotten in some decent framework..."  She notices Star.
> "Are you wearing my clothes?"
> Star shrinks back behind you and Cirno.  Kaguya waves dismissively, and then sees Tewi.

> You debate on whether or not to tell Kaguya about the seeing stone, and come to the conclusion that you should keep it to yourself.
> You ask Mokou and Kaguya why they're on bad terms with each other.  Mokou beats Kaguya to the punch by saying, "Don't want to talk about it," and finishes picking the bamboo out of her teeth.

> If they screw this up,  you're confessing to Mokou.
> "Kaguya, I have something important to tell you about Star here," Cirno says gravely.
> "Hm?  What is it?"  Kaguya looks up with little interest on her face.
> "She looks a lot like you, doesn't she?  Well, I don't think that's a coincidence," Cirno continues.  Star hides shyly behind Cirno's dress when Kaguya scrutinizes her.
> "She does, but how is that not a coincidence?"
> "Hold on to your hat, but--" ("I don't have a hat") "--that's because she's actually your daughter!" Cirno blurts.  Her wings fan out for extra effect.  The rabbits go into an uproar.
> "B-but that's--"  Kaguya is taken aback.  "I-I haven't even--"
> "It's obvious the other parent is Mokou!" Cirno declares, and points to Mokou with vigor.  Honestly, with all the commotion the rabbits are making it's a miracle Tewi hasn't woken up yet.  She must be used to this.
> "Hold it, I--" Mokou starts to protest, but is cut off when Star begins to cry.
> "Ahh, wait, don't cry!"  Kaguya reaches over and pats Star on the head.  "Geez, you know this isn't even possible, you know that?"  This is directed towards Cirno.
> "But this is Gensokyo..."

>No, because that would make Yuugi sad. Then possibly beat us with our own limbs.

> You quickly fall asleep.
> You end up having a lot of dreams.  You dreamed that you were sleeping on Yuugi's lap again, and then in the next dream she was fighting with that Utsuho girl who showed you the way to the surface.  You dreamed that Satori sprouted these huge red wings and tried to fly to the surface, but hit her head off the ceiling.  You then have a scarely accurate dream of when the red-white beat you up.  Then there was this fluffy-winged girl you've never seen before drinking cucumber-flavored beer in your house.  When you tried to chase her out, she bit one of your ears and you punched her in a fit of rage.  That was interesting, to say the least.  Hopefully your next dream won't be like that.

Inventory:

> Foreign-looking dress (currently worn)
> Scarf (currently worn)
> x1 newspaper fragment
  > It has a missing ad for Komeiji Koishi on it.  You'd better hang onto this for reference.
> x3 sweet potatoes (roasted)
  > You got these from Mokou when you first arrived outside the Human Village.
> x6 spellcards
  > Taken from the comatose surface world girl.  Copying down the characters written on them would have been a pain, so you took them with you.
  > According to Tokiko, the cards are named "Long-Arm and Long-Leg", "Moreya's Iron Ring", "Jade of the Horrid River", "Frog is Eaten by Snake due to Croak", "Native Myth vs Central Myth", and "Mishaguji-sama".
> x1 chair
  > Souvenir from the lake mansion's gate.
> x1 bottle of spring
  > It's a sealed bottled with a pretty flower inside.  It's a one-use item that doubles as an attack--a strong gust of wind--and a way of being able to produce flowers.
> x1 seeing stone
  > A triangular stone with a circle inscribed in it.  If you hold it up to your eye, you can see things that are normally invisible.
> x1 compass
  > Borrowed from Kourindou for the purpose of navigating through the Bamboo Forest.

>Sit up, look around dazedly.

> You sit up and look around.
> Kaguya has grabbed Tewi--who is miraculously still asleep--and is now perched on one of the platforms with her.  Mokou's arms are aflame; she's darting past the rabbits and towards the edge of the clearing.  Cirno looks as confused as you are.

> It's a young girl with long, white hair, although in shadow it looks greyish green.  She looks like she hasn't eaten, bathed, or slept in a very long time.  Her coat and skirt are torn in places, her knees are bruised, and she's limping.  Her eyes are dull and heavily lidded, yet she has a giddy smile on her face as if she is having the time of her life.  What immediately draws your eye, however, are the navy blue cords that wrap around her torso and stick out of her boots.  The cords are attached to a third eye.  Like Satori.  The third eye is open, but it's bloodshot and the iris is very cloudy.  It's also crying profusely.
> Could you have finally found her?

Um... not sure about that: the entrance to the underground's a ways off. If necessary, we can wait outside of Eientei and Mokou or Cirno relays information to us. Asking Mokou afterwards if she could help us get Koishi at least to the entrance of the underground's a good idea, though. We could even see if she wants to come down to chill (lol).

Anyways, the gameplan should be getting Koishi back home as soon as possible. We need to get that reward, the "special reward" from that cat (fortunately, it's not Koishi giving us the special reward), and tell Yuugi what happened to Suika. After that, we can pay someone to repair our bridge, and maybe try to see if we can figure out who that girl in the hospital is.

> When you reach the main courtyard, you're shocked when the door flies open.  A flock of mice, rabbits, and who knows what else floods out.  They are followed by Satori, who is carrying a small box.  She sees you, then Mokou, and then Koishi.  Her eyes well up.

Inventory:

> Foreign-looking dress (currently worn)
> Scarf (currently worn)
> x1 newspaper fragment
  > It has a missing ad for Komeiji Koishi on it.  You'd better hang onto this for reference.
> x6 spellcards
  > Taken from the comatose surface world girl.  Copying down the characters written on them would have been a pain, so you took them with you.
  > According to Tokiko, the cards are named "Long-Arm and Long-Leg", "Moreya's Iron Ring", "Jade of the Horrid River", "Frog is Eaten by Snake due to Croak", "Native Myth vs Central Myth", and "Mishaguji-sama".
> x1 chair
  > Souvenir from the lake mansion's gate.
> x1 bottle of spring
  > It's a sealed bottled with a pretty flower inside.  It's a one-use item that doubles as an attack--a strong gust of wind--and a way of being able to produce flowers.
> x1 seeing stone
  > A triangular stone with a circle inscribed in it.  If you hold it up to your eye, you can see things that are normally invisible.
> x1 compass
  > Borrowed from Kourindou for the purpose of navigating through the Bamboo Forest.
> x3 mochi balls
  > Mooched off the rabbits after the whole Bamboo Forest Incident was solved.
> ☼3000
  > Part of the reward you got for getting Koishi home safely.
> x1 Eye-shaped orb
  > The "secret" reward that came with the ☼3000.  It glows with the same energy as that golden chain from Kourindou.
> x1 Mouse
  > Cute, fluffy grey mouse.  According to Orin, it's like a spelunker.

Established Relationships:

> Hoshiguma Yuugi - close friend
> Cirno - friend
> Fujiwara no Mokou - friend
> Kurodani Yamame - friendly acquaintance
> Kisume - friendly acquaintance
> Komeiji Satori - sister of rescuee
> Komeiji Koishi - rescuee

> You all can't help but feel invigorated by the music, so the three of you decide to party here.  Of course, Mokou has to try something, since you don't just go to the Ancient City and not drink something.
> The musicians stick around for longer than you expected; even after a few songs pass, they continue to play without any interruption.  Everyone loses themselves to the music, and time seems to fade away.  After a few drinks, you start to feel lightheaded.  Sucks being a lightweight.  Yuugi is completely lucid, even after drinking something you're sure would kill you from alcohol poisoning.
> Mokou seems to share your problem...only she's handling it better..you're not sure.  Her face is red, and she's swaying around, but that shark grin is on her face again.  You also notice that her limbs are flaming, and a puff of smoke and fire comes out of her mouth with each breath.

> You've been talking to a small girl with mouse ears and tail.  An absolutely terrified mouse scurries from Mokou's pocket and flies into the mouse girl's dress.
> "Hmm, you don't look like you're from 'round here.  Wanna come with us?" Yuugi asks the mouse girl.  "Nothin' stopping you from getting into a fight down there."  She nods her head towards the streets.  The girl quakes where she stands and nods.

Inventory:

> Foreign-looking dress (currently worn)
> Scarf (currently worn)
> x1 newspaper fragment
  > It has a missing ad for Komeiji Koishi on it.  Now that you've found Koishi, you don't really need it.
> x6 spellcards
  > Taken from the comatose surface world girl.  Copying down the characters written on them would have been a pain, so you took them with you.
  > According to Tokiko, the cards are named "Long-Arm and Long-Leg", "Moreya's Iron Ring", "Jade of the Horrid River", "Frog is Eaten by Snake due to Croak", "Native Myth vs Central Myth", and "Mishaguji-sama".
> x1 chair
  > Souvenir from the lake mansion's gate.
> x1 bottle of spring
  > It's a sealed bottled with a pretty flower inside.  It's a one-use item that doubles as an attack--a strong gust of wind--and a way of being able to produce flowers.
> x1 seeing stone
  > A triangular stone with a circle inscribed in it.  If you hold it up to your eye, you can see things that are normally invisible.
> x1 compass
  > Borrowed from Kourindou for the purpose of navigating through the Bamboo Forest.
> x3 mochi balls
  > Mooched off the rabbits after the whole Bamboo Forest Incident was solved.
> ☼3000
  > Part of the reward you got for getting Koishi home safely.
> x1 Eye-shaped orb
  > The "secret" reward that came with the ☼3000.  It glows with the same energy as that golden chain from Kourindou.

> It's safe to assume that the mouse Orin gave you is this girl.

We'll go when Mokou's ready to go home. We should probably try to get someone to repair our bridge. though, and Yuugi seems busy.

Quests:

> Learn more about Konngara
  >While Yuugi did give me a good amount of information about her, there might be some more information about her that might prove useful in the near future.  You've recently learned that Konngara might have something to do with Hell's Moon.  She was also trying to find a "Hakurei Shrine" for some reason.

> And the hat...?
  > The comatose girl is from the surface world, but you didn't find a hat with her clothes.  This bothers you enough to want to take matters into your own hands.

>  Immaterial and Missing Suika
  > You've learned that Suika must still be alive, but she has been 'gapped.'  You don't know what that means, but you figure that Yuugi would want to know.  Yuugi guesses that it's the work of one of Suika's friends...or the red-white's friend....or both.

> x1 newspaper fragment

> x1 chair
  > Souvenir from the lake mansion's gate.
> x1 bottle of spring
  > It's a sealed bottled with a pretty flower inside.  It's a one-use item that doubles as an attack--a strong gust of wind--and a way of being able to produce flowers.
> x1 seeing stone

> Learn more about Konngara
  >While Yuugi did give me a good amount of information about her, there might be some more information about her that might prove useful in the near future.  You've recently learned that Konngara might have something to do with Hell's Moon.  She was also trying to find a "Hakurei Shrine" for some reason.
  You found Konngara at the Hakurei Shrine, and learned from her that Reimu is still alive but in critical condition, and that there's a girl named "Kikuri" in Hell's Moon.  You still don't know what Kikuri is doing on the surface, though.

> And the hat...?
  > The comatose girl is from the surface world, but you didn't find a hat with her clothes.  This bothers you enough to want to take matters into your own hands.  The lady at the Myouren Temple told you that she's from the Moriya Shrine at the top of Youkai Mountain.

Splitting up isn't a bad idea, but it's not tremendously necessary. Reimu's stable, she can wait. And it would be good to go deal with the rabites ourselves, to see if Reisen has recovered any and may have useful data to share.
Title: Re: Parsee Quest (Part 2)
Post by: Sect on February 01, 2011, 12:07:52 AM
Whatthe: I'm not really sure that our presence would make the story any more credible, though we could at least describe the situation easier. Point is, though, it would be faster, we already know where Yasaka is, and it's not like Nazrin would be any use in a fight :V

Purvis: Like I said earlier, it's faster, and we don't need Nazrin all that much. Though, you do have a good point about getting more information...

So, two options: split up, have Nazrin go to Mokou and we go to Yasaka, or take Nazrin with us to Yasaka.

EDIT: Wait, if Eirin comes to take care of Reimu, then she'll have the information that we'll want. The only other ones that would have credible information would be Tewi, Reisen, and Kaguya, and the two rabbits are probably still recovering from being crazy, and Kaguya's useless.

Too much? We can take that last bit out if it is.

> Nitori, who is standing next to an onabashira, watches curiously.  Hina pays no mind and continues to spin.  Nazrin holds her dowsing rods still.  The umbrella girl is holding her breath in anticipation.
> "...Kanako-sama?  There's some youkai who wants to talk to you....um, I don't know....I don't know that, either...she has pointy ears...not really...no, the curse goddess and some others are with her...I think it might be about--really?  Okay."

> "Okay, wait a second first!"  Sanae runs back into the shrine and returns shortly holding a gohei.  Actually, it looks more like a spatula.

> "Wahahaha!"  Sanae laughs as she smoothes her hair.  "Let's go!"
> Nitori clings to the onabashira.  "I-I think I'll stay here."

> You and Sanae continue to fly up the funnel, until it fans out into a huge air pocket.  Looking around, you can only see the ground when you look back through the funnel.  Right now, though, the sky is terrifying.  When you look through the raging clouds, you can see the faint bronze glow of Hell's Moon in the distance.
> At the center of the air pocket sits an imposing-looking woman with blue hair and red clothes.  A shimenawa and for onabashira are on her back, and you can't help but notice how her features seem somewhat snake-like.
> "Kanako-samaaaa!" Sanae calls out.  The woman looks over at the two of you.
