Title: Parsee Quest
Post by: 日巫子 on December 04, 2010, 11:40:07 PM
> You are Mizuhashi Parsee. (http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9986/coverartz.png)
> For a century or so, you've lived Former Hell (more commonly called the Underground by its inhabitants, including you) near the Ancient City.  You are known for your short temper, long, pointy ears, and tendency to attack travelers crossing your bridge.  You have the ability to manipulate jealousy, but you can't control it very well, and suffer from it the most as a result.
> Many winters ago, a shrine maiden went Underground on a rampage and beat you up.  You still don't know why she knew who you were, but it made you more cautious of outside visitors.
> It's late autumn right now, but it feels like winter.  A few months ago, Hell's moon disappeared entirely.  About a week after the moon's disappearance, there was a tremendous earthquake.  A lot of rocks fell in the passage leading to the surface world.  Many underground geysers were blocked, and the tunnel leading the next city collapsed entirely.  The Palace of the Earth Spirits took some damage, but for the most part remained unscathed.  Your bridge got a few holes in it, but you can just fly over them while they're getting patched up.  Strangely enough, aftershocks continued for the rest of that month, and now it's very quiet.  The Underground is still reeling a bit from the earthquake, but you all have been dealing with it well enough.
> Still, there are some things that just seem...strange.  For one thing, there is currently only one Deva in the city.  There was another one, but Yuugi told you that she left for the surface almost immediately after Hell's moon disappeared.
> The Hell of Blazing Fires has also been getting progressively colder.  For some reason, this gives you a really bad feeling.

> Right now, you're standing on the bridge.  The weather is cold and snowy.  You're feeling a little bit hungry, and note that the absence of Hell's moon is making the "sky" (more like the gapping ceiling) look a bit empty.

> Inventory:
  > Foreign-looking dress (currently worn)
  > Scarf (currently worn)

> 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.

> Relationships:
  > Your closest friend is Hoshiguma Yuugi.  Because you were so tempermental and violent when you first arrived Underground, it took a while for her to get close to you.  Nowadays, you don't know what you'd do without her.
     > By extension, you've met her friend Ibuki Suika once or twice.
  > You're acquainted with Kurodani Yamame and Kisume because the three of you are geographically close together.

> Yuugi visited last week to help with bridge repairs.

>Confirm whether or not everyone has died.

> Yuugi is alive.  She broke one of her arms during an aftershock, but it has healed since then.
> Yamame and Kisume are badly injured and are being treated at one of the clinics in the Ancient City.
> Everyone at the Palace of the Earth Spirits is alive as far as you can tell.

>confirm status of mental health

> You're feeling rather mellow and calm right now, but it probably won't be long before you start feeling antsy again.

> Quickly retrieve arms from bridge.

> You lost any weapons you had during the initial earthquake.

> What is the name of the Deva that left to the Surface?

> She never introduced herself properly, but you swear her name began with a "K" or something...

> Fly to the city.

> There's nothing to gain out of idling around all day, so you lift off the ground and take off.  When you arrive, you're greeted by the usual commotion of the huge, expansive city.  Oni are working on repairing buildings and removing rubble left over from the earthquake, and those on break from work are stumbling drunkly in the streets.  Vendors are on the sidewalks, shouting over one another and trying to sell their goods to other Youkai.  There's a dangerous-looking party going on in a nearby bar.  The Palace of the Earth Spirits is farther north.

> Rage.

> You kick the ground angrily.  Even your kitchen knives have been rendered unusuable!

> No money? Hmm...
> How much does an average meal cost in the Ancient City?

> You never leave the bridge and your main income involves beating up people and taking their money, so you're usually hard-pinched for cash.
> Meals usually cost ☼4.10, but over the past few months they've inflated to ☼5.74.

> Just then, a chair smashes through one of the bar's windows and hits a girl passing by in the process.  How Oni can enjoy wild parties like that, you will never know.

> You hold out a hand to the girl, and she reaches out and takes it once she comes to her senses.

> You ask her if she hasn't been to the Ancient City before today, and she lets out a sheepish laugh.  "Haha, I actually live here, but I've never been to this part of the city before.  I mean, I usually stay in the northwest section..."

>Try to catch a glimpse without looking suspicious in the heavy looking bag.

> You manage to glance into the bag without her noticing.  Rolled up bandages, labelled bottles, a towel...it honestly looks more like a first aid kit than anything else.

Post by: Janitor Morgan on December 05, 2010, 02:38:17 PM
So, from here, I think I can see three possible courses of action:

-- Go find Yuugi,
-- go to the Palace of the Earth Spirits and ask if Utsuho is maintaining the reactor properly (maybe that's why it's cold), or
-- ask Rin if Yamame/Kisume are there and, if so, follow her there.

Thoughts?
Title: Re: Parsee Quest
Post by: Hello Purvis on December 05, 2010, 02:59:16 PM
Asking Rin, we can do right now. I'd argue hooking up with Yuugi next just for protection's sake and conciliatory snuggles. The palace can be next.

>Yuugi-ward!

> You grit your teeth.  How could she be uninjured by a chair hitting her in the head, anyway?
> You continue walking towards Yuugi's house.  As you make your way further into the city, the houses cease to resemble those of ancient Tengu architexture, and start to resemble a mixture of the stone buildings and more delicate ones from Oni and Human architexture, respectively.  You make a sudden left and take a road that cuts between a bar and a blacksmith, and then ascend a stone staircase.  Here, you reach an "alley" of apartments.  Here, the chaos of the streets is muffled by overhangs, which are covered in dead ivy and weeds.  There is a light dusting of snow on the ground.  By some doors, there are frayed welcome mats outside the doors, while some have mailboxes that are completely stuffed with papers.  Even seeing the fragment of a newspaper on the ground reminds you that the Ancient City has at least a little bit of civilization, despite being crime-ridden and full of drunkards.  Yuugi chose this area for a good reason: for all intents and purposes, it's a hidden cave within a cave.

> You hear someone call out, "Who is it?"  After a few moments, Yuugi finally answers the door.  Her hair is a bit of a mess, and she has a blanket draped over her shoulders.  Since she's wearing a t-shirt even in the winter, the blanket is presumably being used as a guard against the cold.  You also notice that her skirt is a bit longer and warmer-looking.
> When she sees you, she gasps in a happy, surprise sort of way and smiles widely.
> "Parsee?!  Hi!"  She gives you a hug.

> Examine Yuugi's house.

> From over Yuugi's shoulder, you can see the entrance hall, part of the living room, and little bit of the kitchen.  There are shoes lined up hastily against the wall, and a pair of geta has been thrown on the small, square rug on the floor.  Pressed into the corner is a metal bucket holding a few umbrellas.  You can sort of see the tatami mat in the living room, and some pots and pans hung up on the kitchen wall.

> "Cool, have a seat, make yourself comfortable," Yuugi says as she takes a cushion and sets it down next to the coffee table, which is strangely clear except for a heavy-looking blue scroll.  "I just got home around twenty minutes ago, so the place is still a lil' messy.  Sorry 'bout that."
> She laughs a little when you mention that she's the only Deva down here now, but it sounds tired. 

>"I guess you're right.  Everyone else'as gone upstairs."  Then, more to herself, she adds, "But...I still have no idea why she left..."

>"Oh by the way, do you have anything to eat? I haven't eaten for a long while."

> "Shit, really?  I'll go get something."
> Yuugi then stamps off to the kitchen, and it isn't long before you smell food.

>Examine newspaper scrap when there is a free moment

> While Yuugi is cooking, you take the newspaper scrap out of your pocket take a look at it.
> It consists mostly of small articles about the defeat of dangerous criminals in a dangerous part of the city that you think Suika once frequented.  Nothing interesting, nothing interesting, nothing interes--oh look a wanted ad!
> This catches your eye because in the photo, instead of some burly, mean-looking Oni, you instead see the angelic face of a little satori girl with a black bird on her shoulder (Raven?  Crow?  You're not sure).  She's wearing a black, wide-brimmed hat with a ribbon tied around it an expensive-looking dress.  The kicker, however, is that her Third Eye is closed.  Isn't that a bit...strange for a satori?
> The text below reads, "MISSING: Komeiji Koishi, satori, 275 years old.  White hair, green eyes, wearing a beige jacket over a dark green dress, and a black hat with a yellow ribbon.  If you find her, please take her to the Palace of Earth Spirits immediately and contact Komeiji Satori.  There is a reward."

> They'd better be glad you're here >:T
> A17 is like the other hospital rooms in that it can hold up to six people at once.  You see Yamame sitting on a bed near the window.  Her left arm is in a cast, and her legs and head are in bandages.  She's awake and looks well enough to be making cats cradles with spider silk, using her un-casted hand.  Kisume, instead of laying in a hospital bed, is in her bucket, which is lined with blankets and pillows.  She has a blanket wrapped around her right now, but you can see that almost her entire torso is bandaged through her hospital gown.
> The three other beds house people you do not recognize, and the last bed--strangely enough--contains a little blonde girl who does not look much older than ten.  She's currently asleep and hooked up to an IV.  You take a moment to marvel at the progress medicine has made since the Underground started its industrial revolution.

> After flying for a while, you finally reach the Palace.  It's a huge building that, true to its name, looks like a palace.  It's made of stone, with ivy creeping up the walls.  Every window is made of stained glass, giving a nice contrast to the rest of the building.  There's an expansive front yard out front with rose bushes and other greenery, protected by an ornate wire fence.  The gate leading to the front yard is wide open, which isn't very odd at all.  Even if it were a palace, no one would bother locking anything in the Underground.
> You also notice that the front yard is crawling with animals.  Dogs wrestling in the grass, cats lazing around, birds covering a tree...They were right when they said the satori girl living here loved animals.  There's even a snake slithering along the fence right now.  You also see a lot of mice skittering around, either sniffing around the grass or being chased by some cats.

> However, you can immediately tell that she must be the satori who owns the house, because there's a third eye positioned over her chest.  The red cords stemming from it make her look like she's been tangled with red yarn.
> Before you can say anything, she opens the door all the way and says, "So someone's finally answered the missing ad I put in the newspaper...Mizuhashi Parsee...."

> You proceed furthur into the reactor, and find yourself in a huge, cylindrical room.  The ceiling stretches high enough that you can't even see the top, and the bottom stretches down into an abyss.  Around the edge of the room is a metal walkaround with a railing, which you're standing on right now.  Stairs, followed by lights, wind both up and down the reactor, and on the walls on your level, you can see various metal contraptions.  There's a platform a ways beneath you, and you can only suspect that that's where the main nuclear reaction work goes on.
> Utsuho runs past you and stops at a part of the wall that's relatively empty, save for a round door.  She pries it open with little effort and then beckons you to come on over.
> "You shouldn't have any trouble fitting through here," she says.  "You just climb this ladder thing and it slopes up and out."

> She then gestures to a panel of buttons on the wall.  "Snake lady told me how to use that!  Uhm, the buttons are colored differently according to their function...I think..."
> "Oh, and there are lights on the walls that light up because of some sort of kappa magic; it's awesome!  The kappa also use some stuff on the wall to do stuff with chemicals and robot arms and they make banisters come out of the walls and run different tests.  At the way, waaaaaay top of the ceiling is where snake lady enters and leaves.  I was never able to open it, though."

> You head towards the door.  It's big enough that you'll be able to travel to and fro without any problems, although you'll need to watch your step.  It's rather dark.  You think you can see some lights inside like the ones on the walls, but they don't seem to be working.

> You say goodbye to Utsuho and crawl into the tunnel.  As you start to climb the ladder, you hear Utsuho flapping her wings and flying away.  She has business of her own, anyway.
> It's very dark and cold in here.  The silence is suffocating.  You soon realize that there are some rungs missing or bent, so you find yourself leaning on the stony wall at times to keep your balance.  Slowly but surely, the tunnel becomes more and more vertical until the ladder is your only support.  You're now heading straight up.  In the distance, you can see a faint light.  It's hard to tell the color from here, but it's probably the surface's white moonlight.  The surface and the Former Hell share the same time zone, after all.

>Fly up the rest of the ladder, no need for sudden falls.

> You keep climbing, and then start to fly so you can reach the top faster.  As you near the top, you can hear the rustling of leaves.  You finally emerge from the tunnel and collapse on the dead leaves covering the ground.  This is your first time to the surface in perhaps over a century.  It's cold like the Underground is at the moment, but there's a biting wind and no snow on the ground.  If it were snowing, the leaves you're lying in would be wet, so perhaps you made the right choice to come in autumn.
> Even though you've made it, something doesn't feel quite right.  You sit up and look at your surroundings.
> The forest you're in looks dead in accordance to late autumn; dead leaves litter the floor while others cling to the branches of the trees looming overhead.  Every time the wind blows, a few are torn off and tumble to the ground like torn paper.  There are trees collapsed on the floor, some mutilated beyond recognition.  The ground itself is scarred, as if something had cut through it.  Even then, plants and foliage grow sheltered on the ground.  The darkness is broken by rays of ghostly purple moonlight spilling over the forest floor.
> Moonlight isn't supposed to be purple.  You raise yourself from the ground and fly above the trees to get a better look.

> The sky looks as if it has been stained purple.  Clouds roll by at startling speeds, whirling inside and out of each other.  But what catches your eye is the moon.  The large, bronze sphere hanging in the sky, the sickly purple aura it exudes, the image of a crying woman etched in its surface.  You've seen this image hundreds of times before, and yet you've never paid as much attention to it as you did now.
> At least you know where Hell's Moon went.

> Where you saw a bit of water was a lake, and based the reflection in the water, there's a building there, too.  There are more buildings in the valley, and one of the mountains is much taller than the others.  The hill you saw a bit behind the forest kind of looks like a wreck, but no matter how hard you try you can't see anything past that.  Everything looks like a wreck, actually.

> The structure itself instantly makes you think "mansion" rather than house.  Honestly, the size of it rivals the palace back underground.  The standing half, anyway.  One side of the house has been completely crushed.  Where the other half should have been exposed to the cold air, more rubble lays.  The walkway leading to the destroyed front door is in shambles, and flowers and plants lay withered and dead in what you think might have been a garden.  The remains of a clock tower leans against the part of the house that is still standing.

On the one hand, we have all the information that's important to us, so there's no reason to stick around longer. On the other hand, this is a prime opportunity to get a LOT of information, and I'm kind of curious how Keine would react to our Parsee's wild imagination on how she hides the Human Village. So, someone else take control for a while, because I can't decide what to do.

We might want to go back to the underground to get backup, now that we know where Koishi might be. Even with the strongest fairy at our side, this Reisen and the Bamboo Forest sounds like a big deal. Maybe Yuugi would be interested in splitting the reward.

Heck, it would be pretty interesting if we could get a whole party together: Yuugi, Cirno, Mokou, Mrs. and Mrs. Kamasho... Kamisuwa... ... Mrs. and Mrs. Aki, and Kaguya would be a formidible team. Maybe.

If you would like to destroy the world, not one crazed youkai moon rabbit girl. I'd take Cirno (It's after Fairy Wars, she defeated Marisa. TWICE, cause once in Hisoutensoku) and maybe either Mokou or Kaguya cause together they'd kill themselves. I'd go with Mokou but that's just because I'm a fan boy.

I think I should ease off on D&D some: I keep thinking that if something's enhanced, then it has properties other than the obvious. :< So, let's skip out on the hat, but should we get the smoke powder or the knife? The powder might be good for a smoke screen or even a dirty trick, and if we ever get hungry in the forest, we can use the knife to get us some yummy rabbit stew, or make a shelter, or any number of ways.

Or, alternatively, stab someone with it. If we want to be boring.

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'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.
oops the parser stupidly forgot about this one

>He's useless... Cirno at least explodes with motivation.
>"Well, that's fine.... We got our stuff, looks like we're done here then."
>Take all our stuff, spellcards included.
>"See ya"
>We gotta ask Keine or Mokou on this Eientei raid.
>On to Mokou first.

> This guy is no good.
> You get all your stuff together and say goodbye.  The shopkeeper doesn't say anything, but Tokiko at least waves a bit.
> You and Cirno then head back out to the Human Village with the goal of finding Mokou first.  You head back out to where you first saw her, and see that she is gathered up the charred remains of the campfire she had going.

> 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.

> You find that the ground sometimes dips a bit or even ripples like waves.  This proves difficult for Cirno, who tries to hover but is forced to walk when the ground seems to rise to her feet.  Holding up the stone to your eye helps you ground yourself a bit better, but you run into bamboo if you're not careful.

>"Yeah, let's get a move on."

> The rabbits lead you, Cirno, and Mokou through the rest of the forest and to Eientei.  It seems to take a load off Mokou, who has guided you and Cirno through the entire forest through this point, even if she knows where she's going.
> The bamboo starts to clear up, and soon you all enter a huge clearing.
> Here, there are the remains of what appear to be a Japanese-style mansion.  It looks like there's been some construction work done on it, as there are supports coming out of the rubble and forming some sort of platformed skeleton of a building.  The bamboo stretches surrounding the clearing is strangely very tall and dense.
> There are also rabbits everywhere.  Little tepees dot the area, and rabbits go to and fro from them.  The way they play tag with each other and sit in circles makes them look very much like children, except a lot of them have mallets.
> The four rabbits and their brethren wave at each other.
> On one of the platforms sits another youkai rabbit with wavy black hair.  She looks like the others, but she wears a necklace with a carrot charm, gives off a more authorative aura.  Her dress seems more detailed, too.  Sitting next to her is a fairy wearing what looks suspiciously like Kaguya's clothes, and they're way too big for her.  Still, she really does look like Kaguya, even if she has wings coming out of her back.
> Cirno notices the fairy and stops completely.  Her eyes bug out of her head as she stares...and stares...she's trying to say something, but is too shocked to do it.
> The youkai rabbit up there must be the leader.  She sees that you, Cirno, Mokou, and the rabbits have arrived, and is grinning from ear to ear.

> The rabbit youkai on the platform is still grinning.  The "princess" looks down at her lap and pretends to be very interested in the state of her fingernails.
> "Is that why my rabbits spotted you creeping through the forest?  And you four."  She turns to the four rabbits.  "Just running off like thats, only one of you had your weapons.  What if you ran into Reisens?"
> The four rabbits begin to tremble.  "Hahahaha, I'm just pullin' your leg.  You guys can go now."  She has a very high laugh.  The rabbits scurry off.
> The leader turns her attention back to you.  "That's great because she's been freaking everyone out.  'Specially the princess, right?"  She slaps the fairy on the back a few times.  "This is Kaguya."
> "That's a fairy," Mokou says in a deadpan voice.
> "Star?!" Cirno finally sputters.  The fairy jerks her head up.  When she sees Cirno, her lip quivers and she whispers something under her breath.
> "Hey, princess, I didn't know you were this popular!" the leader snickers.  "But yeah, take Koishi, please."

> Mokou sighs and lets her eyelids droop.  She stands there completely silent, and then...
> "AHHHHH!"
> She screams loudly and feigns jumping at "Kaguya".  The poor fairy lets out a startled shriek and cowers inside her clothing.
> "There is no way that's Kaguya," Mokou concludes, and puts her hands back in her pockets.  "Otherwise, she would've started beating me with a stick."

> When Tewi concentrates on Mokou, quickly check her with the stone, to see if there's anything unusual with her.

> You take this unexpected maneuver to take a look at Tewi through the stone.  She has a pink aura, but there's something odd about it...there's a bit of black swirling around in it.  Kind of like those shadows you kept seeing in the bamboo.

>Do we know any special traits fairies? If so, we could use that special trait to point out that the fairy isn't Kaguya.

> Fairies are spawns of nature the size of human children, have wings, and resurrect upon death.  You don't want to test that last one, but you can't think of anything else that sets fairies apart from other youkai.

> If we have time, check "Kaguya" with the stone too.

> Tewi looks over at this moment.  She doesn't say anything, but her eyes widen as she watches the scene unfold.
