Kirisame Quest - Part 2 - Into the Unknown!
« on: January 27, 2018, 06:29:43 AM »
>You are Marisa Kirisame, Gensokyo's resident Ordinary Magician, mushroom fanatic, and kleptomaniac.

>You are considered one of Gensokyo's primary incident resolvers, having had a hand in resolving every incident since the Makai Invasion that took place before the adoption of the spellcard rules. (There were a few times before that, but you don't really consider those to be incidents...) Though you still usually end up second to Reimu Hakurei, your best friend and rival incident solver.

>You live in the Forest of Magic, a hazardous place not far from the Human Village, you primarily live here to increase your magical powers, due to the atmosphere as well as the abundance of mushrooms that grow here. Due to the years you've spent here, you know this place like the back of your hand, and know exactly which parts of the forest to stay away from. You aren't the only person who lives here either. Your neighbor is Alice Margatroid, a fellow magician and daughter of Shinki, goddess of Makai. Though she's made it a point in the past that she does not like discussing her family, and the only relic from Makai she still carries with her (as far as you know) is that Grimoire of hers which she usually keeps locked closed. You've wanted to read it for a long time. Of course, Alice will never let you do that...

>You have a vast arsenal of magic at your disposal, half of it was learned from Mima, your old mentor and a vengeful spirit. She was sealed away and trapped in Reimaden, a world between Gensokyo and Makai and her old base of operations, after her last scheme went a little too far. You regret having to help Reimu seal her, and you're pretty sure Mima has been silently hating you for your betrayal ever since. If you ever got the chance, you would like to try to make amends one day, perhaps once her evil has totally drained from her... The other half of your arsenal was "Borrowed" from others and tweaked to give your own spin to it.

>Today was... rather eventful. After a morning shroom hunt, you went over to Alice's house, where you decided to help her break her doll Hourai's hanging habits. From there, taking Hourai with you, you stopped by the Kourindou to find Hourai some new hobbies... That didn't really work out well, and, to make matters worse, she was abducted by the poisonous doll Medicine Melancholy. After a brief chase that ended with you losing consciousness, you awaken in the abode of Ellen another magician whom you swear you've met somewhere before...

>Anyway, it turned out she had incapacitated Medicine as well, and had tied her to a chair. Hourai was unharmed, miraculously. However, after yet another series of unfortunate events you ended up becoming magically tethered to Ellen and Medicine, seemingly sharing vitality, but unable to move significantly far from each other. Deciding you needed the help of a bookworm, you decided to high-tail it to Patchouli's library. Only there was one problem:

>A time bubble, likely Sakuya's doing, was surrounding the mansion and the surrounding area, preventing access. What's worse is that Yukari said she senses something in there... and she plans to "deal with it"... Luckily, she's giving you some time to solve this incident. After a brief detour to learn the required magic, you, Medicine, Ellen, and her Cat set off into the bubble using Hourai as a tether to normal time flow.

>You have just reached the mansion's gate.

>Inventory:
  >Trademark Marisa Outfit (equipped)
  >>Your general attire, sans hat. You sometimes don't bother taking it off before sleeping.
 
  >Trademark Marisa Hat (equipped)
  >>Your hat. Very important!

  >A Novice Guide to Magical Automata
  >>A book about basic doll magic, also one of countless books borrowed from Patchouli.

  >Tissue
  >>A thin piece of paper with many uses, most of them being hygenic.

  >Trademark Marisa Broom
  >>A magical broom that helps you fly. Your flying utterly sucks without it. You can go pretty fast on it as well.
 
  >Mini Hakkero
  >>A portable magic reactor that can generate a ton of power.
  >>Required for your more advanced spellcards.

  >Edible Mushroom x5
  >>Common edible mushrooms. Can be used either as a cooking ingredient or as a quick snack. Can be eaten raw or cooked, but are more filling if cooked.

  >MP3 Player
  >>A device that plays music. Currently borrowing from Kourin~

  >Earbuds
  >>A device that makes it so only you can hear the MP3 Player. Currently borrowing from Kourin~

  >?1500
  >>Cash on hand. 

  >Spellcards:
  >>Love Sign ~ Master Spark*
  >>>Your signature spellcard (though it is based on a technique used by Yuuka Kazami). It literally fires a giant laser at your opponent, with some stars thrown in to make it harder to dodge.   

  >>Love Sign ~ Non-directional Laser
  >>>A technique borrowed from one of Patchouli's non-spells, two opposing laser arrays sweep in circles around you, while rotating streams of stars are fired between them
 
  >>Magic Sign ~ Stardust Reverie
  >>>A spell where seven streams of stars are fired around you, before firing dense bursts, forcing the opponent to remain within a certain distance of you while dodging the less dense stars within the circle.
  >>>The precursor to this spell, as well as a lot of your star magic, was learned from Mima.

  >>Comet ~ Blazing Star*
  >>>An attack where you charge at the opponent several times, using your Hakkero as a thruster.

  >>Ritual Sign ~ Orreries Sun
  >>>Another spell carried over from Mima. In this card you call upon Mima's orrery and use it to attack.

  >>Magicannon ~ Final Spark*
  >>>The strongest spell in your arsenal, an enhanced version of the Master Spark, but using the full power of the Hakkero.
  >>>This spell will drain your energy and temporarily overload the Hakkero if used.

  >>(Any spellcard marked with a * requires your Mini Hakkero to use.)



> "Oke... Let's join the party."
> Open the gates.
>You open the gates, revealing the front garden of the mansion, lining the short pathway leading to the main entrance. You spot a frozen fairy maid sporting a terrified expression, as if she was fleeing something.
>"W-What do you think she's running from...?" Ellen asks.
>_

>"I see..." Ellen pulls out a notebook, "You wouldn't mind if I took some notes about that magic while we're there, would you?"
>"Let's just go already..." Medicine complains.
>You begin making your way towards the basement. Which would involve passing through the library. However, when you get near the library doors you notice something unnerving...

>Tendrils of a shadowy, black and red mass seem to be coming through the wall surrounding the library door at the end of the hall. In fact, the wall seems to be eaten away in the spots where they cross, leaving several holes...
>However, the most unnerving aspect of it is that this thing seems to be moving in the timestop, albeit very slowly. Odd, white cracks seem to form at the tips of the tendrils as they advance at a snail's pace.
>You also spot a few more fairy maids, frozen mid-flight, heading towards he door. A tendril has intersected one of them, and its body seems to be in the process of disintegrating...

>"That... doesn't look normal..." Medicine comments.
