>"Gonna need to find a magician type or something..."
>"So, when was the last time Koishi was here?"
>"Oh good, she'll probably be along soon."
>No need to hang out in an even forest any more than necessary.
> "Good idea, Star."
> Turn to Mokou, since she asked earlier where Kaguya was when we asked her to bring her back, and we kinda ignored her. "Um, right, the princess isin another castleat that temple place. Might as well ask her to see if she knows where that doctor is, too."
> How are we doing as far as hunger/exhaustion?
> Yawn.
> "So, um, is there anything to eat around here?"
> How does Cirno look?
>Man, Mokou is a trooper. we bark orders and she's all over that business. What fine loyalty.
>What about Star?
>"How much of a forewarning can you give me, Star?"
>"That's something. Right, guess we wait, then?"
>"How many? What direction?"
>"Four? Can you tell who they are or do your abilities not stretch that far?"
>Stand ready to fight just in case.
>"Eh, Probably just Kaguya."
>Still, do be at least kinda ready.
>"I hope you're right."
>Stare in the direction Star pointed; take a couple of steps forward so we're slightly in front of her.
(Whatever happened, looks like Mokou won. ^^ )
>... O_O
>"What the hell happened to you two?"
>Man, she was a useless lump, but she didn't have this coming...
>...that much.
>...Okay this is actually pretty funny. Let's try not to laugh out loud.
>Be amused.
>Eat one of our potatoes.
>Share one with Cirno. It's like a movie. So food isn't out of place.
>"Tewi's got problems and curses. Just leave her be."
>Tell Kaguya about the Seeing Stone?
>Ask why Mokou and Kaguya are such in bad terms.
>Let's not tell Kaguya about the seeing stone just yet.
>"So, did Mokou or the rabbits tell you what's been happening?"
>Perhaps Cirno should've went instead.
>"I don't know what's going on between you, but you shouldn't fight in such times."
>Resist the urge to make Kaguya and Mokou jealous to see them fighting again.
>"Okay, this is the deal. Tewi thought that faerie over there was you, since she got a headful of curse or something. Koishi's been kidnapping rabbits or something and being a damn pest. No idea what Reisen's been doing, but apparently also been a nuisance. Apparently they ran Eirin off, too. Tewi didn't even remember her. Curse and all."
>"I think that's was all that at this moment..."
>"When does Koishi usually come here?"
>"Right now? I'm waiting on Koishi to show up so I can try to get some sense into her head. Kinda hoping you'll get this lot sorted out, since they like you and stuff."
>"How long ago since Koishi had last come here? And please, only one of you answer."
>They told us week, no need to ask twice.
>"Hey, what way does she usually come from?"
>While waiting, try to find a topic to talk about. Or plan what to do when Koishi comes.
>"Hey, any of you know what's that way?"
>Gesture toward the direction Koishi supposedly comes from, look toward Mokou because she's the one awesome at this place.
>You sarcastic little...
>Turn to Cirno; motion Star over too.
>"Hey. Reckon you can try entertaining us for a bit?"
>Whisper next bit.
>"Pranks are open too."
>Watch Cirno as she tries to amuse everyone.
>If she made a fail attempt, confess our undying love to Mokou in front of everyone.
>No, because that would make Yuugi sad. Then possibly beat us with our own limbs.
>Look at Kaguya with the stone when we have the chance.(haven't done so yet since we did get the stone after we met her.)
>Miss snuggling with Yuugi
>Well, nothing cool to do instead of watching this comedy, which in itself is very fun.
>"Thanks, Mokou, for bringing the princess still intact"
>sit somewhere comfortably and rest.
> You're exhausted, so you find a comfortable spot in the grass and wait to fall asleep.> Sleep well, and dream of comfy, large breasted oni.
> Sleep well, and dream of comfy, large breasted oni.
>"Wamf flurmble fliff fla?"
> Check inventory.
>Sit up, look around dazedly.
>Follow Mokou.
>"If it is, it's better for me to be here! Don't worry, I can protect myself! a little!"
>Oh shit. Time to improvise!
>"Well, if it isn't you? I've heard some stories."
>Try to dodge her.
>Flip the hell out afterwards
>Dare to look at Reisen with the Seeing Stone?
>"Mokou! She's going after you!"
>Why did she let go after Mokou when she 'slightly' caught us?
>"Don't fuck this up, Reisen! This is your last chance! I know you can hear me!"
>"I'm the last person who gives even half a damn about you. Hurt me even a little bit, and no one's going to have any reason not to burn the forest down on you! Now settle the fuck down!"
>Be ready to dodge while delivering ultimatums.
>Okay. Now it's no more Mrs Nice Bridge Princess.
>Make her jealous of the Bamboo for it's self-restorative nature, and crank that shit up to 11. Let's see her fight at full effectiveness with this on her mind.
>Maybe we.... went too far on the jealousy?
>Examine Reisen with the Seeing Stone
> "Cirno! Try trapping her in another of your cages while shes distracted!"
>"You're lucky in I'm so merciful, bitch."
>Let up on the jealousy.
> Yeah, we're so cool and badass, and... wait, did Mokou say something about a hat?
>"Mokou, didn't you say anything about a hat?"
> Well, we're totally not jealous of Reisen getting the... affection?... of the princess, so let's see what's up with that hat. Does it look familiar?
> Take out the newspaper clipping with Koishi's picture and compare it to the hat.
> Double-check sweet potato count. Didn't we use one of the three already?
>Look at Reisen.
>"Alright, you. Where'd you get this?"
> Wait, asking her isn't going to work, she's crazy. Maybe having Mokou dote on Star would snap her out of her crazy like it did the other crazy rabbit...
>Naw, we'll just poke her with bamboo sticks if she doesn't make sense.
>What's her aura look like now, anyways?
>"Oy! Calm down before I poke you with some sticks!"
>"Good. Now say something, already. You think you're just going to mope your way out of this?"
>Glance to Kaguya. "Well, I guess she's kinda trying. That's a start."
>Back to Reisen. "That's it. Say something, just force the air through, shape it with your tongue. You used to do it all the time, I'm sure."
>She better not be declaring her hatreds of us >=[
>"Go on, you've got part of it. Say what you're gonna say. I dare you to say it."
> Look at the inside of the hat while we're waiting for the bunny to get her act together. Anything in there?
> Check jealousy.
>"Yeah, it's Koishi's hat. We'll give it to her in good time. You can just worry about yourself for now. Now, what's her name?"
>Motion toward Kaguya.
>Check the hat for auras while she struggles with that one.
> Pluck the hair out of the hat and put it in a pocket.
> Check the hair for auras too.
> Get Mokou and check the direction Reisen came in.
>The bamboo is alive with the sound of music~
> Get closer, to try to hear the voice.
>"Hear that singing?"
> Let us sneak up on the mysterious singing in the dark, haunted bamboo forest, shall we? It's perfectly safe!
> Try and get a closer look.
>Expect the unexpected, like someone jumping out of nowhere.
> Close in on the dancing person.
>Get ready to run like hell, just in case.
>"Hey. You're Satori's sister, aren't you?"
>"Yeah, we talked. She's worried about you. And...uh...what happened? You look like hell."
>"You've been gone long enough to be said 'missing' on a newspaper."
>"Some adventure you got there."
>Mentally facepalm.
>"Well why don't you tell them that? After all, your sister is the reason why I came to find you."
>"You will come back down, won't you? If anything, for Satori at least."
> "Don't worry, I found your hat." Hold up her hat.
> Try to get within touching distance of Koishi. She looks pretty damned frazzled, so we should use a soft touch on her.
>Do not get within touching distance of the possibly psychotic Satori without Cirno putting her in t a cage first.
>Do get close enough to offer her the hat.
>"You can pop in for a visit, right?"
> Consider knocking her out: she looks like she's dead on her feet.
> Suppress last thought: she's a satori, and all satori read minds, right?
> "Visit your sister. Get some rest, play with some cats. You'd like that, right?"
> "All right, then come with me. I'll take you to see Satori, okay?"
> Reach out with a hand to take Koishi's.
> Offer her the last sweet potato. She seems like she could use it.
>"You really think this is a good idea to bring her to the rabbits, Mokou? Cause I don't think so.... Maybe let's take her to her home first, hm? Would you help in that too?"
>Mokou's heart's pure gold ;.;
> Start following Mokou to where ever she starts heading off to.
>We'll talk some sense into Koishi if she tries something unintelligent.
>But.
>"Hey, um, how'd you lose your hat, anyways?"
> Mokou. So kind. We need to think of a good way to pay her back.
> Also, probably want to make sure that Koishi doesn't see Reisen, just in case. Take care to guide Koishi away from Reisen when we get to the rabbits.
> While we're walking, examine her more closely. Is she still limping, and how badly?
>"Oh for fuck's sake. Here, lean on me."
>Offer an arm.
>"And, I'll warn you, that rabbit's there. But we got her in a cage, so she's not going to be up to anything."
> "Hey, Cirno, Kaguya. Did the rabbit say anything?"
> Let's go ahead and have Koishi sit down so we can take a look at her ankle. "You guys had a doctor here, right? Can you get some bandages and ice or something?"
> "Yup, though that eye's special."
> Look over at Kaguya. "What's that about Eirin? And just how many rabbits are named Inaba around here, anyways?"
>Stay out of the way of the rabbits. Have a look at Tewi.
>Take a peek at Tewi's aura, then look at what the rabites are causing a fuss over.
> While we're taking a peek, also get a look at Koishi.
>Might want to check on Reisen's aura too; see if anything has changed.
>Let Kaguya be with Eirin for a while; they can come over to us.
Rejoin Koishi, and observe the proceedings.
>Approach the cage, look at Reisen.
>"You. Calm down and let the woman in the weird dress help you. Or do you like being mute and stuck in a cage?"
>As for rewarding Mokou for all that help, I think we should befriend her, like Cirno, and sometimes invite her over for tea, sake and lulz. And Cirno too. And have a Christmas without being alone. And, and.... intriduce to Yuugi and live happily ever after in happy fluffy times.
But that comes after the quest.
>Any reaction from Reisen?
> "Wow, that stuff acts fast."
> Keep an eye on Koishi, just in case that needle spooked her.
>Ponder how Mokou and Yuugi might get along.Like an oni that's on fire, I would imagine. Not really sure if that's a good thing.
>Ponder how Mokou and Yuugi might get along.Well, alcohol's flammable, so...
>Before this: Nod to Eirin. That's teamwork for ya!
>Ponder how Mokou and Yuugi might get along.
> Ho boy. Get over to Koishi quicklike.
> "Hey, you all right? Your ankle's feeling better?"
Also, apparantly "Flaming Moe" is the Yuugi/Mokou ship. Just so that you all know. (Blame Moerin, not me)Is Moerin a fan of The Simpsons by any chance? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_Moe)
> Distract Koishi. "Hey, do you want to take a nap before going back to see your sister?" Maybe she'll feel better after one, and less likely to run off and make us have to chase her again.
>"Actually, uh...you're not reading crazy murder rabbit's mind right now, are you? That's probably really bad."
> "Er, yeah. It's really bad. Anyways, you should really take a nap, and we'll head out in the... morning. Ish."
> What the hell time of day is it, anyways? How long did we sleep before wekicked Reisen's asswere attacked?
> Grin. "I thought it was a secret, though."
> Health status.
>"That'd be awesome, Cirno. And you could see my bridge in the Underground."
>Mokou would be one of the few people able to survive a direct headbutt from Yuugi, you know. or a Yuugi punch straight in the face. That would connect'em. Sparring.
>yea, How's Parsee's physical condition?
> Oh crap! Completely forgot about that! We should clean and bandage that up, just to be safe.
> "Well, no, it's not secret or anything. It's just that no one ever goes down there." Depression...
> Wonder who has the stronger headbutt: Yuugi or Keine.
> How's our hunger and tiredness?
> Consider organizing a headbutting championship match between Yuugi and Keine.
>What is Eirin up to? Does she look too busy to deal with this wound?
> Wonder if it would be cheaper to use logs, rocks, people, or fairies for the headbutt competition.
>Oh good, she knows what she's supposed to be doing.
>Let the doctor do her thing.
> "Her eyes? Why's that bad?"
> "How's Koishi's third eye doing?"
> Was her third eye open in the newspaper clipping?
> "Why should it matter if her eye is open or closed?"
>"And I wasn't trying to fight her, I was trying to talk some sense into her. Then she insisted on it fighting. So I had to set her straight."
> "Anyways, so her eye was forced open... why should that matter? I mean, she could just close it again. Bah! No use thinking about it, Satori would probably know more about that stuff."
> We should probably grab a nap, too: we would probably wake up before Koishi in any case.
> Oh, and just for the hell of it: update Koishi quest, but add notes about the state we found her in, and Eirin's observation about her eye.
> Oh, and also just for the hell of it: add new quest "Headbutt Competition!: Yuugi versus Keine!"
>Look around. Where's everyone?
> Allow a somewhat relieved sigh. Who knew we'd have to go through all his crap.
> Stand up and stretch.
>View the quest log
>Go to Eirin
>"So, how's she doing?"
> "'Butterfly Dream Pill'? What's that?"
> Look at Tewi. "Hey, I guess you're less crazy now?"
>To Doctorb: "Those pills sound insanely nice. They're probably hard to make and addictive, aren't they?"
>To Tewi: "Don't worry about it. How are you doing?"
>Check Reisen's aura.
>"Day destroying dreams?"
>"Do you mean something like a nightmare?"
>"Construction?"
>"Huh."
>Look around. Do things seem not screwed up enough around here that a building could stand?
> "I don't think that I've had one of those dreams before. I mean, that fluffy winged girl's getting on my nerves, and kappa and cucumbers are becoming too regular than I'd like, but it's not bad enough that I'd really want to forget it."
>How long have we been sleeping?
>"Well, not much.... There are some, but they rather prefer living at their own village"
> "Every now and then they come by to complain about one of my neighbors 'polluting their river' or some crap like that, but other than that, now really."
> Actually, now that we're thinking of it, hiring kappa to rebuild the bridge sounds like a good idea. Yuugi probably does it for cheaper, but she has a lot of stuff on her plate...
>"So... What do you think about that moon incident, miss doctor?"
>"Hey! That's our moon! You're just mad because it set you straight."
>"Actually...where have you been all this time? Kaguya said you vanished, then you weren't here or anywhere else. The rabbits didn't seem to know. So what were you doing, anyways?"
>"She said you vanished into the bamboo, and never saw you again. The rabbits didn't seem to have any clue where you were. I was just curious what you were doing. Follow Reisen? That makes sense. What'd you observe about her while following, anyways?"
>"Oh, so you were mostly lost, then. Well...can't blame you. Has the forest always been so weird, with the tremors and and stuff?"
>Nod.
>"Yeah, if she got a headful of that curse business. By the way, you know her aura is full of weird black stuff, right?"
>"I got my ways. It looks like it's kinda sorta receeding a little bit."
>Aura says nothing to that woman.... Let's leave her with the medical stuff.
>And hey, our business is over here.
>Approach Mokou. We need someone to carry Koishi for us (Don't say that out loud)
>keep in mind to ask for a Hakurei Shrine
> Don't ask Mokou to carry Koishi for us: hopefully, she'll be floating on her own power, and even she isn't, Mokou would likely volunteer, anyways. Still, we should tell her that we'll be ready to go as soon as the fairies and Koishi are awake.
>But if Koishi needs a carryin', make sure to get Mokou to do it. That eye thing looks like it weighs a ton.
>"How goes?"
>Once she answers.
>"Hey, you've been a real big help and stuff. Like, above and beyond what anyone would expect. So, I was thinking, if you're interested, I could take you down to the ancient city with me, let you see the sights and meet one of the Devas of the Mountain and stuff. Also if you're looking for a scrap, there'd be about as many oni willing to oblige as you could want."
>Secretly be excited that Mokou is coming to the Ancient City.
>Check Jealousy Gauge. There's no reason to be so jealous now.
>What is Cirno doing at this moment?
>Pester self for being so jealous.
>Do we still have stuff to do here, or are we preparing to leave for Ancient City?
>Gather Koishi and Mokou and head out! Let Cirno know, if she doesn't notice us leaving.
> Let's see if we can mooch some food from the rabbits, first. After all, we did solve the incident and helped them get back to their home safe and sound.
> Mokou's so awesome. She's like a prince or something.
> Wave goodbye to Cirno. "Okay, I will!"
> And we're walking, and we're walking.
>"Don't worry, her sister will deal with that."
>Back to theWookie HoleReactor Cave!
>"What's wrong with it?"
>Start to float down the shaft.
>"Not too far now, then we can dump off Koishi and I'll try to introduce you to Yuugi. And...um...let me apologize ahead of time if I make any embarrassing displays around her. It's been a long day..."
> Shouldn't Utsuho be here?
>Onwards to the Palace!
>"She was off chasing rabbits, and kind of got into trouble with a madwoman. She'll be okay with some rest; a doctor said so."
> When Satori gets Koishi in bed or something, tell her what Eirin told us, particularly about her eye being forced open.
> What's in the box? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1giVzxyoclE&feature=related)
>Examine orb
>"What the hell?"
>Cover up the box. "C'mon, I'll show you to Yuugi's place."
>Go that way!
>Halt! Look back.
>Spontaneously turn into a Puru-see (http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/2721) (NSFW)!
> Weren't we supossed to wait for Satori, anyways?
> Do we know who or what this girl is?
>"Who are you?"
>If she appears hostile to us, make her jealous of Kaguya.
>"Oh, cool! What've you got?"
>Hell yes, rewards!
>"...You're giving me some rodents."
>"So what do they do? Eat cheese real fast?"
>"Or disease up a house in record time?"
>"Spelunkers, eh? Tell me more."
>Take one of these Mices in hand.
>Well this is... dumb.
>"Can you demonstrate it a bit?"
>Pet the little guy, if he's being nice.
>"Ok"
>Turn to Mokou. "How do ya like the place so far?"
>"That's cool. So your my new friend, like Cirno, now"
>Look at what Satori has to say.
> Okay, the rodents are kinda cute, but they don't seem all that useful...
> "What did you do with your sister?"
>"And what's the deal with that orb?"
>Pet mousie. This is kinda nice.
>"I might know a thing to do with it."
>Look toward the garden. What are those mices up to?
>"No, really, I saw a chain kinda like that somewhere."
>"So...uh...how do you take care of mice, anyways?"
>"Do I give them a litter box? Do they go in a cage? Orin is giving me these things, and I don't even know the first thing about them!"
>"Well then, uh.... I'll accept this gift"
>Weirdest reward ever...
>Turn to Satori.
>"So, about Konngara.... I last heard she went to a Hakurei Shrine thing. You know what that is?"
>Be... er, happy, that you got something cute as a gift.
>But get disappointed that you didn't get anything that's more useful.
>"...Oh crap."
>"Once is more than enough."
> "Does she get beat up whenever she goes there, or is that only when the red-white comes to your home?"
> "Anyways, but a doctor treated Koishi. She said that something forced her eye open, or something like that." Satori would probably get something more useful by just reading our mind or something.
> "She probably also needs a bath and food when she wakes up."
> "So, if that's everything...?" Gotta go introduce Mokou to Yuugi, then have fun.
> Inventory. Mokou kept a mouse as well, right?
> Relationships. Just out of curiousity.
>Wait, wait!
>"Miss Satori, I also found our Moon... It flew outside and it's covering the outside moon... What do we gonna do?"
>"It also kinda made quite a mess there"
>Yeah, this is more news to share with Yuugi first; she's got the real pull down here.
>"That saves some time... Well, now you know. Thanks for all the rewards"
>That's one cool ability.
>Say goodbye and go to Yuugi with Mokou.We got a headbutt tournament to run!
>On our way show sights to Mokou as we pass by.
>"It happens, but people know I'm with Yuugi, so usually I get left alone. Though it's a good idea not to push it unless you're really looking for a scrap."
>Knock on Yuugi's door.
> Check the note.
>Try to recall what she said about that place.
>What is No Man's Land?
>Relay that to Mokou. But with contempt or something!
>"Yeah, let's go find her."
>Depart that way!
>Follow that laser.
>Check cavern roof for integrity.
> Fly faster. That red light's making us pretty nervous, and worried for Yuugi.
>I recall Yuugi was supposed to either repair a shrine or a bridge thing...
>Get closer
>Don't get hit by the lazer
>Examine that bird.
>"Hey, Utsuho! Koishi's home!"
> If Utsuho turns to face us, dodge laser.
>"Wow. Okay, you've seen Yuugi anywhere?"
> Wait, what does she mean by three days? Have we been aboveground that long, or is it something else?
> "Oh, Mokou, this is Utsuho. She runs that reactor that we passed through on the way to Chireiden. Utsuho, this is Mokou. She helped me find Koishi."
>"Hey, actually, what's Yuugi even doing out here?"
> "Do you catch on fire often? Sounds painful."
> Blue scroll? Does Yuugi even do- OH! "Um, Utsuho, those were blueprints."
> Well, we know why Yuugi's out here. Let's go visit her. "Thanks for the directions, Utsuho!" Fly towards the place that Utsuho pointed at.
> What's over there, anyways?
> What IS this "Silent Shrine" we keep hearing about, anyways?
> "Hm? How so?"
>"...Kappa, huh?"
>So help us, if we find those cucumber fondlers near the bridge...
>Continue on in the indicated direction.
>Approach shrine!
>"Looks like this might be it"
>Proceed in search of Yuugi.
>She sees us? if yes, approach. If no, wave and approach.
>"We found Koishi. And the moon too. But we only managed to bring Koishi back. She was lighter."
>"Oh, this is one of my new friends, Mokou. Mokou, this is Yuugi, one of the devas of the mountain and my bestest friend"
> "Er... So anyway, the moon somehow 'replaced' the surface's moon and basically shot the place up."
I assume Himiko's new sig pic is foreshadowing for this game?Nah, it's for the sequel: "Satori Quest: The Quest for Love".
>Why have we not hugged the shit out of Yuugi yet? Hug the shit out of her. Or Insobriety.
>"The surface is awful! They have our moon and it went apeshit and shot lasers at everything and everything's ruined!"
> "And no, I didn't see Konngara. Heard she went to the red-white's shrine, though for what, I have no idea."
> "Oh, and Suika got gapped."
> "Heck if I know. The red-white might know, though, since I'm pretty sure she's tried to beat up everybody important in Gensokyo."
> Mmm... snuggle snuggle.
> Frown. "Hey, uh, Yuugi? How long was I gone for?"
>Is Mokou's hand broken? Cause it should. I assume it isn't.
>"Uh, Mokou? Didn't your hand break just now?"
> "Huh, must've imagined it, then, since there's no way Yuugi would get a broken hand. So what do you mean by 'final trick', Mokou?"
>"And is that something it always does, or just a thing Reisen made happen?"
> "Huh. Okay."
> Look around Yuugi at the shrine. "So, what is this place, anyways. I remember you talking about it before, but I don't remember anything about it."
>"Why's it out in the middle of nowhere?"
> "Does she know that you're rebuilding it?" Look around some more. Anything stick out?
>"Anything neat in there? And hey, does this mean the front entrance is cleaned out now?"
> "Those moles won't get off their asses and dig, huh?"
> Wince at own terrible pun.
> "Anyways, I'm showing Mokou around down here, so how about you take a break and join us?" Plus, Yuugi knows more fun places than we do.
> "No, that was Utsuho. She was happy that we returned Koishi."
>"Yeah. Did you find anything interesting in there? There's some beads, what's the deal with those?"
> "Ooh, probably not. So, about taking a break..."
> "Er... I dunno. I thought you would know some awesome places."
> Are we hungry? We could go somewhere to eat.
> Also, as another suggestion, and we know that we may very well regret this in the morning (or next week), take Mokou somewhere with good booze.
> Perhaps we should visit the hospital againsee how Yamame & Kisume are doing, and perhaps Mokou might recognize the comatose girl since she's from the surface as well.
> Hey, we promised to show Mokou a good time! No need to have it be a downer.
> ... Though, we could give Yamame and Kisume the mochi that we got...
>Mochi's not for sick people, it's for us >=[
>We'll hit up the clinic later, for now it is funtimes!
> "Musicians? That's sounds fun. Let's go hit them up."
> "Well, we could ask around. What kind of musicians were they? They'd also probably play somewhere with lots of people, like bars."
> Let's get our plan to get Mokou drunk rolling, oh ho ho ho. :3
> Ooh, looks crowded. Let Yuugi take the lead, so that she can clear the way.
>Get a strut on in Yuugi's wake.> Put some hip into it.
Yuugi seems to cut a path through the crowd just by being there. It's almost like a reflex.
> Follow that noise. What part of town are we in, the rough and tumble bar district?
> Wait, doesn't that describe all parts of Old Hell?
>Get a strut on in Yuugi's wake.
> Put some hip into it.
> Let's check it out.
> Awright, now that we've found the party, let's get loud, and spill some drinks. Let's get Yuugi to get Mokou some of Hell's finest, since she knows best.
> "Ah ha ha... Mokou's flaming. We should see what happens if we give her more."
> You enjoying yourself, Mokou?
>Shit, we better hang onto Yuugi so we don't fall and get trampled
>"Ya think she might have one drink too much, Yuugi? Maybe let's stop her before she breaks stuff"
>"Right, right, right..."
>Stumble off. Don't need to interrupt a duel...
> With a bottle in hand to enjoy it with us and our mouse.
> Man, Mokou's getting all of Yuugi's attention...
>We're on a good way to the headbutt competition though.
>Huh, what was it Yuugi said about alcohol headaches? Something about drinking helps it go down? Bottoms up!
> Wait, take that back: it'll be no good to be unconcious while we're trying to ravish Yuugi later. Or was that the other way...
>Keep drinking at bay, We wanna live.
>A thought. Liquor is flammable, isn't it? Maybe we ought get away from some buildings and stuff...
>"Guuuuuuuh."
> "N-no..."
> Force ourselves up.
> "Now I'm u-up..."
> Try not to vomit.
>"Hey, you're not an oni. What're you doing down here?"
>Who know how slurred that'll come out!?
> "You're like a cat, or something. Definitely not a rabbit, cause they live in the forest."
>Should we be concern about the where-about of the last explosion?
>When asked how drunk we are: "Yes!"
> "Oh, there's Yuugi. Bye~" Attempt to float in Yuugi's direction.
> "Yuu~gi~... I feel sick..."
>Huggle on Yuugi's leg.
>"But I alrea*hic*dy let some out~"
> "Ugh... don't worry, I'm not going to-" Okay, yes we are.
> Sniffle. Vomiting sucks.
> "Ugh... can we go home...?"
> Now that we're less bleary, who the hell have we been talking to, anyways?
>Hug Yuugi. But not too tight.
>Tell Yuugi about our reward?
> Eh, go to sleep for now, instead. We can tell Yuugi about that stuff, and bitch at mousegirl about stealing our "reward", later.
>Well, we can try.
>"Gimme back my mouse, jerk..."
>Cling to Yuugi.
> Shift washcloth over eyes so that we don't have to look at evil lights.
> Try to listen to the conversation.
>Take a look at Mokou's sleeping face afterwards.
>Try to remember what happened.
> That sleeping face of Mokou's so adorable... wonder if we look as cute when asleep.
> Doubt it. Paru paru...
>And...Oh right!
>Sit up!
>Point at mouse youkai
>"You took my mouse, asshole!"
>Deal with physical repercussions of this action.
>...Have we ever saw Yuugi's sleeping face?
> ... Add quest: "See Yuugi's Sleeping Face".
> Wait, they don't know we're awake yet. Perhaps we should stealthily reclaim our mouse before drawing attention to ourself.
Edit: > Actually, have we sobered up enough to realize that the mouse she took was Mokou's, not ours?
>"I'd like to have my head cut off, please. Well... Water may be fine too"
>Looks like Mokou fitted in here perfectly. Success! Now to get Cirno here... Someday.
>When Yuugi comes back, take a sip of the water; nice and refreshing.
>If Yuugi knelt down beside us when giving us our drink, rest head against her.
>"Well, I guess that was my fa... Wait! You know her? How?"
______>Cirno may be a fairy, but I'd love to see her get drunk, p*ss off an oni, get blasted, respawn and then repeat.
>That would be awesome! XD
>"Oh. So, what're you doing down here anyways?"
> Check inventory. Hopefully some berk hasn't ganked our shit while we were out.
> Well, shit, if she's the mouse that's been with us, then she's part of our inventory.
>Didn't we see out mouse run toward her?
>...Goddamn we had a lot of drink, didn't we?
>Visible confusions!
> Can we put her in our pocket even in her human form? I mean, we have a chair in there...> If so, can things be arranged so she can sit in the chair?
> Does owning a mouse girl require obtaining a mouse girl license?
> Can we put her in our pocket even in her human form? I mean, we have a chair in there...
> If so, can things be arranged so she can sit in the chair?
>"My head hurts..."
> "What, it's not like she's going to be vomiting on you. What are you doing out of my pocket, anyways? Gifts and rewards shouldn't be wandering around, you know."
>"Anyway, Mokou is great for these parties around here. How did she do in combat, Yuugi?"
>"You can have a chair, mouse girl. Got a name?"
>The urge to poke Mokou... Actually, forget it; it's nice resting on Yuugi right now.
>Snuggle snuggle.
>"Almost? I remember seeing danmaku every; never mind the flames!"
>More water drinking.
>"So what will you be doing now, Nazrin? Going to hang around?"
>Check the ol' paruparu gauge.
> "What's with all of these 'Rin's, huh? One should be enough..."
> "So what's your story, anyways? Why did that cat have you in the first place." Pause. "Do those other mice turn into people, too?"
>"Would you like some cheese?"
> "Yeah, some nurse at the hospital that Yamame and Kisume are at. And you never answered my question. How did Rin get a hold of you, anyways?"
> "Really, she pounced on you. What kept you with her, anyways?"
>"Huh. Okay. Hey, any of this business look familiar to you?"
>Show her the surface girl's spellcards.
> "Hrm, so we need to find someone really, really old, then?"
> "You know, Nazrin, the way that you say that, it sounds like you liked it there." Troll face.
>"Hold it tight so it won't fall off, Mokou. And what's with the pyromania thingy, huh?"
>"You know. Maybe we should go out, or something, or Mokou can be hung over in peace?"
>"And I so wanted to do a headbutt competition..."
>"Yeah, too bad no noe can take Yuugi's headbutts"
>Snuggle Mokou too. Have a snuggle treasome.
>"Yeah, Mokou? How much?"
> Wonder aloud, "Why would Keine care...?" but don't press Mokou on the issue. Did those two seem that close?
> "So, er, Yuugi... are you gonna keep on trying to rebuild Konngara's place, or track her down, instead? If you want to find her, I could probably come along."
>"Wow, Mokou, you really are something to take on Yuugi..."
> "Hm, all right. I'll probably be going up to the surface again sometime soon, if only because I need to take Mokou back to her home. I'll keep an ear out for word on Konngara and Suika when I go up..."
> Gotta remember: sometime before we and Mokou (and Nazrin?) leave, we should stop by the hospital.
>Assess current condition.
> "So, Mokou, want to stay down here longer, or do you want to go back to the surface soon?"
> Does it look like Yuugi's gotten any rest?
>Where in Yuugi's place are we? Guest room, her room, elsewhere?
>No need to ask this, poor woman's groaning and hung over.
>And even if she wasn't, we are. Time to nap this shit away.
>Does it look like Yuugi got tired by anything at all?
>Wake up shouting "Gimme back my cucumber you damn kappa!"
> Now that's just rude. Especially since we didn't have any dreams of cucumbers.
> Is Yuugi still awake when we wake up?
> Aw... Yuugi looks so nice when sleeping. Warm feelings purupurupuru.
> Is she sleeping next to us? If she is, snuggle closer.
>dum dum duuuum!
>See Yuugi's sleeping face quest completed!
> Yeah, we're not doing anything for a while.
Okay, I'll just get the ball rolling, then.
> Contemplate on quests while snuggled next to Yuugi.
> Stay where we are until Mokou is up, moving, and notices that we're still awake.
> Cook something delicious for Mokou and Yuugi, and see if there's any cheese or birdseed for the mouseand Nazrin, too, we guess.
> Let's see what we got. Cooking minigame!
> Oh, and put on an apron. It's almost like being a wife to Yuugi!
> Blush blush.
> All right, what's a favorite dish of Yuugi's? We'll see if we have the ingredients here.
> "Hey, Mokou, are you okay with (insert food here)?"
> Warm up the stove, and get out the ingredients and utensils.
> Find a cookbook!
>Do my best to cook.
>"Hey, you two, you got any cooking skills?"
> Nonono! We want to impress Yuugi, we can do it on our own!
> "Hey... er... Nasrin, how do you like Hủ Tiếu?"
> Explain to her what Hủ Tiếu is.
> So we continue cooking. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reJFCM632jU&feature=related) How does it turn out, or are there complications?
> Ask Nazrin to find plates and utensils.
> The... delicious smells didn't wake Yuugi up? ;_;
> Go ahead and serve the food, and check on Yuugi. How deeply asleep is she?
> How much food did we prepare, anyways? More than enough for four people, right?
> Is Hủ Tiếu something we can leave simmering for a few hours until Yuugi's ready to eat?
> Pretend that you totally didn't squeak and try to climb through the roof when Yuugi wake up.
> "G-good morning, Yuugi! I made Hủ Tiếu." Wring hands in apron as we wait for Yuugi to try our food.
> After Yuugi's tried the food, chow down.
> "So... what's Ibaraki?"
>"Someone we don't need to know about?"
>"Oh well. No need to pry, I guess."
>Yuugi will tell us things when we need to know.
>"You feeling less crappy, Mokou?"
>Finish up dinnerfast.
>"Kay, not a word."
>Clean up!
> "Is that bad? I mean, you were going to use them to rebuild that shrine, right?"
> "So, you're going to go back there, then?"
> Turn to Mokou. "You probably want to go back to the surface, right?"
> Is the passage from the bridge to the surface still blocked?
>"Hey, Yuugi. Have there been any kappa types around, lately?"
>"I have this dreams where I see kappas often. Pretty screwed up..."
>"And I swear, if any of those cucumber strokers mess with my bridge, I won't be held response for what happens!"
> Where's a good place to stow the money we just got?
>"So, Nasrin's my slave...."
>Grin
>"Anything interesting you can do except spelunking?"
> "Well... if you're so unhappy, maybe I should give you back to Rin and Satori..."
> "So, Mokou, I can guide you back to the village, but do you mind if we stop at the hospital? There's another abovegrounder there, and I figured that you might know her."
>"We don't have a clue who she is, she just showed up wounded when the earthquake happened."
> We should take Nazrin with us to the hospital. After all, two abovegrounders means twice the chance of recognition!
> Of course we're taking Nazrin with us: she's part of our inventory.
>"So you two ready to head out or what?"
>"Right, let's go. See you later, Yuugi."
>And shit, better stake a proper claim before some of these mooks get ideas; give Yuugi a goodbye kiss.
>"What're you grinning like a mook about, eh?"
> Mosey on over to Yamame's and Kisume's hospital room.
> "You had to stand on your toes to reach her." Mokou smirks.
>Greet our friends then "How's it going, mates?"
> To Mokou and Nazrin. "So, there's the girl. Do you recognize her?"
> "Found out their names, and that they use kanji that haven't been used in a long while, but no dice. You guys healin' up fine?"
> Introduce everybody to everybody. "Yamame and Kisume were hurt when our moon decided to cause trouble up there. Made rocks fall and everything. Broke my bridge, too." Frown.
> "Well? Does she look familiar?"
>"Temple?"
> "Why soseriousnervous? She someone important?"
> Well, if she was seen at the temple, not a bad place to look for clues. Someone might offer a reward for her return, like "Build a free bridge" coupons or something.
> "Well, I guess I know where I'm off to, then..."
> "So how're you two doing?"
>Consider challenging the wily cube.
>Well piss on it.
>"So when're you two getting out, anyways?"
> "All right, then. We're off, so rest up!"
> Unless we have any better ideas, we should make tracks to the reactor to reach the surface.
>Back to the Palace. Then the reacta. Then outside!
>Frown.
>"Is your sky supposed to do that?"
>Look to Nazrin. "If you want, I guess."
>"What the hell?"
>"...So it seems. Well, I guess it'll be good to get them from out of the Ancient City. Shall we go to town?"
>"Don't run off, you!"
>Onwards!
>Did we set up a place to meet with Cirno?
> Well, no need to see her just yet: her invitation was for us, not for Mokou or our mouse. Let's head straight for town, to the temple.
> If we see Keine on our way, give a cheery wave and a hearty "Hello, Mrs. Aki!", then watch out for headbutts.
> Crap! We forgot to ask Yuugi if she was interested in a headbutt competition!
>Follow Nazrin.
>"Hello there"
>Getting some attention here
> What does this woman look like?
> If she has the whole cat appearance thing (like we're expecting) then... "Oh, so the whole thing with Rin wasn't a one time thing. She'll be so upset that you left her for another cat." Troll face.
> Wow, she's just too easy to tease.
> To new cat lady. "So, I guess you're the master of this temple, then?"
> Ask her about the unconcious girl in the underground. Describe her. "Nazrin said that she might have visited here before."
> Huh-buh-hwaaa?!
> "Are you joking? What the hell would a goddess be doing unconcious down there?!"
>"...Wait, what? You're saying that's a Goddess?"
> "Er, no. No hat. She had these, though." Show her the spellcards.
> Be vaguely reminded of dwarven mines.
>"Yup, that's what these say, as much as I know... old stuff too! Any hints on what goddess that might be?"
> Great, another shrine...
> "So, where is this shrine, then? Also, can you tell me where the red-white's shrine is, too?"
> Well, whoever's at this Moriya Shrine will probably know where the red-white's shrine is.
> "Hm... Mokou, you have any clue?"
> "Damn. Hm... well, I guess Keine's probably the best person to ask, then..." We should consider getting a helmet.
> "All right, then. Thanks for your help... miss." Grab Nazrin by the back of the collar and head out.
>"Sorry, kid. The cat gave you to me. And I am not about to give up my reward after all the shit that I went through to get that satori back!"
> Narrow eyes at Nazrin. "What, don't you remember? Rin gave you to me after I did her a favor, and now I'm honor bound to keep you. Don't go spitting on our ancient traditions like that!"
> When Nazrin starts to protest, explain to her, in a tone like a teacehr lecturing a child. "Rin saved you when you were stranded down there, remember? After that, you had an obligation to serve her as she protected you and fed you. Now, since Rin gave you to me, I have the obligation to protect and care for you, now, but now you're trying to weasel your way out of the debt! Do you mean to tell me that you were just taking advantage of poor Rin and Satori, eating their food with no respect to our lowly culture?"
> We are, by the way, lying through our teeth. We also have no intention of keeping Nazrin, anyways.
> Look up at the voice.
>To Nazrin: "Wow, way to stab the people who helped you out in the back. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to help you out again. That's not even sarcasm, they're better than that kind of trashy convenience."
>"Wait, who's turning to arms? What are you trying to accuse me of, huh?"
>"Yeah, that's not going to arms. Stop acting like I was doing things I'm not doing!"
> Well, maybe she can help us figure out where the shrines are. The less headbutts, the better.
> "I was looking for some people and information, and she," indicating the cat lady, "gave me some ideas on where to go. So now I need to get to the Moriya Shrine and the red-white's shrine."
>No no no. If we're angry and it's her fault, it's up to her to assauge it if she wants to be the concillator.
>Instead say, "Yeah, you weren't trying, you were suceeding! So thanks for assuming I'm the bad guy, I guess?"
>"And you're all to happy to judge me, it looks like. How's this even your business, again?"
>"Oh nice, so the person who runs this place starts out by insulting me and insinuating I'm going to resort the violence. Nice. Wonderful. Lovely vote of confidence. I'm sure you're gonna be real fair and unbiased with that kind of attitude, yeah. So why're you acting like that, anyways? Is it because I'm not from around here?"
>"Well there's the whole thing where this is the first time you've ever seen me and haven't heard of me before today. And yeah, you're were including Nazrin, you were just directing it at me. So yeah, you've done a great job so far. So what do you want, anyways?"
>"I was asking about some one who ended up Underground and got hurt so we could figure out what to do with her. And given it's kind of a public place, I thought I could do that without being hassled. Guess I was wrong!"
"Apparently some goddess from one of the shrines."
>"Yeah, Stripes over there mentioned that. Up on Youkai Mountain."
> "I'm sure they would. Problem is, I don't know where they are, and the little mousie was keeping me from finding someone who did."
"Okay, good. Thanks. Let's go, Nazrin."
>"Naw. I just don't like it when people give me that kind of grief. At least she apologized in the end."
>"How would she even have a temper, anyways? All she seems to do is just sorta sit around. I guess the rabbits like her, though."
>Shrug.
>Step outside! Look around. Anything else of interest going on around town? Alternately, can we see that mountain?
> Dammit, now we have to drag the mousie around with us. >_<
> Oh well, let's see if our next trolling session works out better. Walk up with Mokou and wave. "Hey Mrs. Aki!"
>Or more importantly, we have a thing carrier!
>Observe the Mrs Aki and Mokou for a moment.
>"The ice fairy went back home for now."
>Be wary of the headbutt.
> "Cirno found her friend, and they went back to the lake. Now we just gotta tell some shrine that we found their goddess, and then track down the red-white."
> Idear! Turn to Nazrin. "Hey, you find stuff, right? Find the red-white."
> Ignore Keine's reaction. "So, Mokou, you wanna come along, or are you gonna stay here?"
> "All right. Thanks for all your help, Mokou, I really appreciate it."
> "Hey, Nazrin, you know where to go?"
>Resist urge to say, "Ask Mokou about her trip to the Ancient City!" to Keine.
>Follow that rat.
>Ask the voices in our head what to do afterward
> "Don't really want to find her, but remember Yuugi? She has another red-white friend who went to see the red-white when everything went to hell. So, I need to find her."
>"Okay. Once we find her, you can hang back out of sight til I'm done with her."
> Check inventory. If Nazrin succeeds in leading us to the red-white, perhaps we might spare something afterwards as a reward for a job well done.
> Also, if we're going to return that compass to Kourindou, after this might be a good time since we're nearby. We could also see if the owner can figure out anything about the eye-shaped orb.
> Head up those stairs.
> Attempt to ignore the feeling and finish the climb.
>Look at the person sitting on the roof. What does she look like?
> Wow, she's intimidating.
> "K-Konngara, I presume?"
> "I'm not much of a bridge princess when my bridge's busted and no one's able to cross it."
> "Er... Yuugi's worried about you."
> "... Okay... um... so, you came up here to check on the moon, right? What did you find out?"
> "'Her'? Who did you follow up here?"
> "I... okay. Is it a she 'cause there's a picture on it, or is it just one of those weird ship things?"
> "What? You mean there's someone in there?"
> "Who?"
> "What's so special about Kikuri, other than she lives in a moon and wrecks people's shit?"
> "Why did Kikuri come up to the surface?"
> Ooookay... she probably has no clue, huh?
> "So... um... this is the red-white's place, right? Where is she? What happened here, anyways?"
> Wide eyes. "Woah, something actually took that monster down?"
> Pause. "Wait, Kikuri targeted the red-wh... I mean, Reimu, specifically? Did she do something to Kikuri or something?"
> "N-no, no vendetta. I mean, she beat me up once a while ago, but I'd rather just avoid her than fight her again."
> "Did you take her to see a doctor? There's that place in the bamboo forest where Eirin lives, or even the hospital in the underground."
> "So, is she bad enough that she still needs a doctor? I mean, I don't like her at all, but that doesn't mean I want her dead or anything." Besides, she might know more about what the hell "gapping" even means.
> "Oh, okay. Good."
> "Have you ever heard of... uh... 'gapping'? Suika was apparantly gapped, and I have no idea what that even means."
> ... Well, what now? Check quests.
> "Who the hell is 'Yakumo'? And is it safe to keep oni in... whatever Yakumo did to her?"
> Add any relevant information to quest: Immaterial and Missing Suika.
>Ask if we can take a look at Reimu. If we are allowed to see her, check her aura.
>"So, where is Suika, exactly? And why the hell is there someone in our moon?!"
> Come to think of it, did we ever check Hell's Moon's aura? If not, do so.
> Follow Konngara 'round back.
> As we're following, with Konngara's back to us, check her aura.
> And we're following, and following...
>"So what have you been doing up here, anyways?"
> "What... the... f-"
>Try not to throw up again.
>Turn around! Stop looking at this shit!
>"Yeah! You could've warned me or something!"
> Dare we use the seeing stone on all that?
>Let's not, just yet.
>"So...I guess it makes sense why you didn't send any letters or anything. Hey, do you know about the earthquake and stuff underground? Your shrine...uh...kinda got smashed up. Yuugi's been working on it. Before my bridge, even!"
>Paru paru...
> "But... dammit, she really needs a doctor."
>"And yeah, Yuugi's been collecting up your beads and stuff."
> "Of course whatever it is this 'Yakumo' guy's doing isn't enough! I mean, just how long has she been like that?!"
> "What if I got Eirin to come by here? She's an actual doctor, you know."
>"I think she needs more interference, looking like that!"
> Guh, she's not very helpful... oh well...
> "All right... I'm just gonna go back down, now. Yuugi's kind of worried about you, you know." Paruparu.
> Go back down the stairs.
> Take a look at Reimu's aura before we leave.
>Who said we were done here?
>"Hey, do you know anything about other people messing with our moon? Like those people in the bamboo forest, whose rabbit went batshit and started murdering things?"
>"Let's hear a bit more about those curses. And how to break them? That'd help."
>"...Is there anyway possible to prevent one from being cursed?"
>"So what happens when someone manipulates her emotions?"
>"Yeah. If she suddenly went bugshit out of nowhere, it's a pretty good chance, don't you think?"
>"Well somebody's gotta do it! That's our moon up there, and like hell I'm letting these surface peoples keep it! And whoever this Kikuri is, she kinda needs her teeth kicked in a whole lot."
>"Attentive for what?"
>"Okay, you're holding back. Let's hear it. Won't tell anyone, swear to anything."
>Groan.
>"You're gonna make me guess, aren't you? Fine. You think the whole moon deal's your fault. So, why?"
>Nod.
>"And you're saying that Kikuri person's the same way?"
>"Wait, what does she even have to complain about? Not like she had to worry about oni kicking her ass pretty much every day, and no one paying any respect to her bridg-uh, moon. I dealt with it just fine, what's her problem?"
>"So's everyone. But anyways. Uh...how did she take down the red white, anyways?"
"She's the moon or just a part of the moon? You think that if she was separated from the moon, both would die?
>"Wait, you don't know? The way you were talking, it sounds like you were all good buddies with her. So how do you know her, exactly?"
>"Can you talk to her now? Or she'll just shoot Reimu down if that happens?"
>"Okay, seeing as it's increasingly clear the people on the surface are pretty useless in this whole mess, I'm probably gonna have to deal with this. So, what would you say if you could?"
>Pause.
>"Hey, did she get the Black White too?"
>"Yeah, she's probably dead. Anyways, I'll think about doing that, but frank she needs her teeth kicked in anyways for all this mess. Do you have any idea how many rabbits that one killed because Kikuri had her little tantrum? Lots!"
>Ponderance: Were we there before the Oni came? If so, was the moon always there?
>"Oh well. Hey, do you know of anything else going on up here? I mean, you're stuck here and stuff, but maybe you've heard something?"
>Did we mention the Moriya person we found to her?
>If not, "Oh yeah, about Youkai Mountain. Apparently one of their people went underground and got hurt in the earthquake. Hear anything related to that?"
>Where are we in relation to Youkai Mountain?
>Wow, so many stuff on our heads...
>We got business in Moriya shrine but!
We wanted to go for Eirin to tend to Reimu...
We could also check the Marisa corpse just in case.
Did I miss something? had to write it down
>"Okay, I need to get going. Hey, it's good to see you're still kickin'. And keep safe. Yuugi'd been insufferable if you got hurt or something.
>...Paru paru.
>Depart, collect up our mouse.
I still say we split the party, have Nazrin get Mokou to get Eirin while we go see Yasaka.This sounds good, unless we need to be there to give the story more credibility.
> Add quest: Shrine Maiden Needs Healing Badly.
Wait.
> Rename quest: Red Shrine Maiden Needs Healing Badly.
> Which is closer, the Bamboo Forest or Youkai Mountain?
> "All right, Nazrin, let's go. We need to get to Yasaka on top of Youkai Mountain. Ya think you can handle that?"
> "Hey, heard anything about that black-white? Heard she was shot down by the moon."
> "Yeah. I was talkin' to an acquaintance of Yuugi's that I'd been trying to fine for awhile now."
> "You know, the other red-white I was looking for? Turns out both of them are up there, though..." Wince at memory of how Reimu looked.
> Let's start walking towards Youkai Mountain.
>"One of them's Konngara. She's good people."
>Gesture toward the mountain. "So, what's the deal with this place?"
> And we're walking, and we're walking...
> ... Dammit, why can't we fly?!
>Because... err... Our pet can't fly!
> Well, actually, it was rhetorical: we can't fly because Yasaka's making the stupid wind.
> "Man, what the hell is with that size? This would be so freakin' easier if freakin' Yasaka wasn't makin' freakin' wind..." Grumble grumble.
> The shrine's at the top, right? Can we see it from here?
> And... we're walking.
> "Seriously, though... what's with people putting shrines all the way where people can't get at 'em? I mean, Konngara's shrine is in the middle of a bunch of evil spirits... the re-... Reimu's is up that one mountain... and now Yasaka is way up another mountain. At least you people had the right idea, putting it right next to a town."
> Okay... this looks bad... bring out our handy dandy stone and look at the aura of the fog.
>Also listen for any kind of noises from it.
>"I... dropped something important, and I can't find it!"
>Search around.
> Get on hands and knees to find that sucker.
> "No." Still frantically searching.
> Crap, that thing saved our ass countless times! Or at least a few times.
>Do not search frantically! Keep calm. Step at a time.
>Don't ignore the mist.
> Okay, fine. Talk deep, calming breaths...
> ... Then search frantically!
>Have a look!
> Hope it's not a badgermole.
> "Huh... looks too small for my hand to get in there... if only I could get tiny tiny..."
> ... Slow turn towards Nazrin.
> While waiting, play the the rods.
>"...Nope~!"
>"Thank you for getting the stone back." Grab the seeing stone.
> "Wonder what these other stones are...?"
> Check out the other stones with the seeing stone, and try to use them like the seeing stone.
>Consider telling our pet about the Seeing Stone.
> Eh, we'll keep the stones. If worst comes to worst, we can throw 'em at someone.
> "This little stone's saved me over 'n over again." Check out that mist, now that we have the stone back.
> Get ready to agress!
> Oh, and safely put seeing stone back in pocket.
> Crap, is this another crazy person?
> Get into danmaku stance and ask diplomatically, "Hey, who the hell are you?!"
> "Am I? Why, you jealous?"Roll Intimidate check. "What're you the goddess of, anyways?"
> Step away from her. Totally not in the "crap I'm kind of intimidated of you" way but in that "Imma gonna kick the crap out of you if you don't get away" way. Really.
> Note to self that the way her hair is tied in front of her chin makes it look like a fake beard.
>"And what do you mean by overflowing with misfortune? What's your deal, anyways?"
>Careful now. Not too aggressive for the sake of it. We're not an idjut, just...excitable.
>"It's gonna hurt, Lady? And why so generous?"
> "Anyways, I like my misfortune just where it is, so if you don't mind going the other way..."
> If she gets any closer, danmaku-fu to the face! Show her how it's done underground!
>"What did you expect? It's not an every-day experience, I don't even know you! What's gonna happen if you do suck our misfortune?"
>hey, sounds like a favor to me. I'd go for it.
> No, it sounds like a terrible idea. First she'll want misfortune, then our soul, then she'll probably want Yuugi after that. Blast a few more danmaku at her, to make her go away.
> Hey, where's that mouse, anyways? Try to put the creep between her and us and double team her.
>Our spellcards are...?
>Proceed the battle. If either Parsee or Nazrin gets hit, use Green-eyed Monster
>Back away, assess the pattern.
>Try to move around the strings, hover so we don't have to worry about tripping.
>Is she moving much? If not, give her a faceful of nonspell danmaku once we feel we have a moment to fire.
>Keep well away from the lines of purple, keep an eye on that mist, be ready to move forward or backward away from it. whichever seems like it would avoid the most of it.
>Shoot Hina again if she's holding still and we feel we have a moment for it.
>Does it look worse closer to her, or further away?
>If it's the former, close in on her, and try to let reduced range work in our favor to shoot her up proper.
>Recall what our spellcards do.
>Does it look like we and Nazrin could close in on her and force her into the mist?
Edit: unless the mist is thick enough to keep us from seeing her
>Does the mist seem to be active danmaku, or harmless and sight-obscuring?
>For now, just keep up the music. Try to stay away from those bullet lines; move in time with her if we can.
> "Nazrin! She's going for another card!"
> Blast her with all we got, then get away when she pulls out whatever she's getting.
>Use the Green-eyed Monster on Hina
>Does she seem to be out for the moment, or just stunned a bit?
>Be wary lest she attack again.
> Cautiously approach her.
> Take out the seeing stone and examine her. Does she have those black things on her like the rabbits?
> LEAVE NO EVIDENCE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0Bvd5GkcBA#t=31s)
> Nah, we're good. Let's leave her on the ground and continue on.
> "Yeah, no kidding. Let's get going before she decides to do... whatever she was going to do. Again."
> And we're walking... and walking...
> "Hey, did that weirdo tag you during the fight, Nazrin?" How's our wound from the fight?
> "That can't be good. Could be crazy mist or something, that drives people insane. Kinda like those rabbits in the forest, you know?"
> Is the sound of the river uphill from us?
> Head towards the river. We can at least take a quick break.
> "Yeah, one of the rabbits in that forest went crazy, 'n started murdering other rabbits or making them go insane themselves. Even one of the satori from underground got caught up in all that mess.
>Consider giving Nazrin some cheese for not attempting to run away yet.
>Does the surrounding feel unusual in anyway?
>If so, check the Seeing Stone and hold it tightly.
> Check hunger and tiredness.
> "Hey, Nazrin, you tired or hungry?"
> Probably not a good idea to go too close to the river: we fall in and we're done in this cold.
> Can we follow the river up the mountain?
> Check inventory. Maybe we have something close to cheese.
>"Huh?"
>Look what 's kinky enough to grope a mouse girl instead if Parsee
> Totally don't scream in surprise!
> Turn quickly and punch out towards whereever someone was touching us!
>"Who are you and why are you molesting us?"
>"Now it's payday, asshole!"
>Kick her in the gut!
> Jump on her and mount her, oni style!
> ... Not that kind of mount, perv.
>First we say no, then we get outta there! Most important, we gotta tell someone we trust, like our parents, our teacher, a police officer!
> Do we know any good lawyers?
> Wait a second... doesn't she look like one of those kappa? Betcha she wanted to do weird kappa stuff to our body!
>There's no crying in danmaku!
> "Yeah, I bet. Now what were you really after? Trying to get our 'misfortune' too, I'll bet."
>"Have you been messing with my bridge!?"
> "Jeez... if you wanted to touch my ears, why the hell didn't you just ask?" Of course, we wouldn't let her.
> Looks like that goddess wasn't completely quacked.
> "So, now what should we do with the rude kappa...?"
> Ask Nazrin's opinionafter all, she got molested too.
>Or rather, let's actually ask.
>"Hey Nazrin, you wanna get even?"
> "All right, so no molesting her. Got it." Crack knuckles threateningly.
> Aw, damnit... now we're kind of feeling sorry for her.
> ... Idea. "All right then, then maybe you can answer a few questions. Do you know some goddess named Yasaka?"
> "Sounds like her. We're looking for her, so you'll pay us back by takin' us to her. Sound good?"
> Still sittin' on top of her.
>Naw, let her up.
> "Well, that crazy goddess in there's probably ate her or sucked her misfortune or whatever she does."
> ... Sigh. "All right, which way did she go? What does she look like, anyhow?"
> "... Um. Wait..." Ooh, this is awkward.
> "Er, yeah, we can find her, no problem. We'll be back."
> Okay, so we're backtracking to get that crazy girl.
> "..." Grab a stick and start poking her. "Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey."
> If she doesn't stir, then try to pick her up and drag her back to Nitori.
>Before taking her to Nitori and doesn't wake up from the stick, "If you don't wake up, Nazrin won't give you her misfortune!"
>"You see... She was hitting on Nazrin, so she knocked her out."
>Naw, let's tell something good instead.
>"She kept being really weird and talking about misfortune and stuff and wouldn't go away!"
>"No it is not even a little bit normal! Especially when she's talking about drawing out souls or whatever!"
> "Especially with the woods being all misty, and her lunging out... people might get the wrong impression and hit her with danmaku and lazers until she passes out while trying to use a spellcard. ... You know, rhetorically speaking."
>Ah get it off!
>Put Hina down.
> "I like my misfortune where it's at, thank you."
> To Nitori. "All right, I brought your goddess back. Now can you take us to see Yasaka?"
>"Yeah, got some news for her."
> "Guh, fine. Let's get a move on..."
> And we're walking, and walking...
> "So... uh... what's this Yasaka like?"
> We're off to see Yasaka~
> "You know why she's making all of the wind? It's really incovenient, you know."
>"I'm always respectful! No one can say I'm not respectful. Just went people come out of nowhere threatening to eat souls or grabbing on my ears I can't be held responsible for what happens."
"You should do something about that cough, Nazrin. Good thing we'll be seeing a doctor next."
>Onvards! Look up ahead, are there any other mountain weirdos we might have to deck?
> "... So we're going around this, right?"
>Follow those weirdos!
> "Hey, Hina, when you suck misfortune, what do you do with iteat it, hang on to it, or what? Could you, say, put it in bottles?" (Hey, if spring can be put in a bottle...)
> If Hina can put misfortune in bottles, we should consider letting her do that with our misfortune. Because, come on, bottles of misfortune to unleash on our enemies would be awesome.
> ...And if none of us have empty bottles, perhaps Yasaka's shrine does.
> And we're sneaking, and we're sneaking...
> "Um, why are we sneaking about like mice?"Fail Stealth check
> "The tengu? Why would we be in trouble with them?"
>Can't blame them there.
>"Then let us hurry it up some what."
>How far up are we?
> "... Like I said before, what's up with these shrines and living far away from people?"
> And we're climbing, and climbing.
>Head up to that torii!
>"huh?"
>Now stare at the bloomers> Note how much less attractive they are than whatever's under Yuugi's skirt.
> "Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something else. What did you say, again?"
>Scream and runaway!
>"Is... is this how everyone who comes here gets welcomed?"
>Stare at her a bit more.
>Now stare at the bloomers
> Note how much less attractive they are than whatever's under Yuugi's skirt.
>Poke the tongue; you know you want to. ^^
> Then walk on past.
> "So where can I find Yasaka?"
> "Hey, Nazrin, they get donations up here?"
>"Because it oughta be the other way around, given what a pain it is to get here!"
> "Wonder if they just put their own money in there... to make people think that there's a lot of donators up here..."
> "Yeah, I know, right? I mean, I don't get why they would do that, unless it gets them some false prestige or something..."
> Rub chin. "Then again, I wonder how they can afford to keep this place nice lookin'... maybe they have their priestesses sell their bodies or something..."
>Look toward the shrine. Don't need them overhearing this.
>Facepalm
>"We came to see Yasaka"
> "Have some news that she'd be interested in.Who the hell are you, anyways?"
>No need to curse her out, we have some class. No need yet, anyways.
>Just, "Who are you?"
> "Uh... huh..." A little creepy... she has too much enthuthiasm... paruparu
> "Anyways, so can you take me to your deity, or something?"
> Whoa, wait. "Wind priestess? So why don't you do something with all this wind: having to walk everywhere's a real pain in the rear."
>"What."
> "A little premature danmaku, there." She's starting to seem a bit flaky...
> ... Yeah. Kind of flaky.
> "Well, lead on. I'll follow you." Follow her to Yasaka.
> "Go... up?" Gulp. That looks like some crazy power, there.
> Follow the greenheadhorn.
> Be glad that this shrine girl wears shorts.
> And we're flying, and flying...
>"Hey."
>Wave.
>"Thought you might like to know one of your people is underground in the clinic. Little blonde kid."
> If Yasaka gets mad about us taking Hatless' spellcards, let her know that we wouldn't have found out who Hatless was if we hadn't taken them with us.
>"Wait, Hibernating? Sama? What?"
> "I have her spellcards with me if you want them. She doesn't have a hat, though."
>"Hey, what's one of your gods doing in our underground, anyways?! Especially with that earthquake and-"
>Narrow eyes.
>"Wait a minute...Isn't that just a big coincidence? A goddess goes to the Ancient City of oni, and then there's an big ruinous earthquake..."
> "Yeah. Rocks fell, a lot of people and bridges got hurt."
>"Yeah! It ruined my bridge and collapsed the front entrance and broke a lot of houses and hurt my neighbors and been a giant headache for Yuugi and all kinds of stuff! What was she doing there during an earthquake, huh?"
> That's... a good point. Besides, wasn't it around the time that Kikuri went crazy that the earthquakes happened?
