(OOC: Long story short, I am no longer doing NaNo due to the fact that I'll be way too busy over the next two weeks. So, updates will still be scarce for those two weeks, but I'll have free time again earlier than I expected. Yay?)
Marokuu
(OOC: I'm going to continue this scenario, but slow it down a bit. Because Hanzo hasn't posted in two weeks. Time to talk to him about that!)
Nitori sent the new water over to Ohuku and Momiji. ?Have fun~?
Utsuho frowned. ?I didn't want to have to use this one.? She held up a new card, determination shining in her eyes. ?Explosion Sign: Mega Flare!? Nitori grinned, and dropped into a stable stance as Utsuho fired a large ball of nuclear fusion at her. Nitori was enveloped in light, as the ball moved past her. She was lying on the ground when it passed.
?...Heh. Ehehehe.? Nitori was laughing. She slowly sat up, bruised all over. Her clothes were burnt, and most of the extending arms had fallen off. ?My, that was an interesting experience.? She staggered to her feet, putting more weight on one foot than the other. ?But is it enough?? Her backpack fell ovv, revealing the mechanical arms. But they were not in a set of machinery inside the backpack itself; they were growing out of her back. ?Afraid you'll have to do better than that, though.?
Nitori was enveloped in a strange gray cloud, and the extending arms could be soon growing longer. The bruises healed, and the arms re-formed. ?Isn't science exciting?? The arms flew out, grabbing Utsuho. Her own arms were restrained, and she was brought closer to Nitori. Nitori knealt on the ground, picking up a scalpel out of the backpack. ?Time for some experimentation~?
?U-unyu?!? was Utsuho's only response, as she struggled in the kappa's grip. She could still use the fusion, but without being able to move her control rod, aiming would be impossible.
The scalpel was now millimeters from Utsuho's face. She gulped in fear. The kappa moved it forward, as the sound of a missile firing was heard. A missile flew out from the cover of the trees, hitting Nitori square in the back. Nitori was flung from the hell raven, who stretched her wings, looking into the forest.
?Tsk. Must have malfunctioned,? Nitori said, as she stood up. ?Well, whatever. It;s insignificant.? She turned back to Utsuho, the grin returning. ?Let's dance, raven.?

Ohuku cried out as shots cut across her limbs. She was good at dodging, but dodging from every direction was getting difficult. However, there was a break in the shots; Momiji slashed her sword through the water dome, which dissipated back into multiple, spread-out droplets. ?You alright, Ohuku??
Their conversation was cut short as the water re-formed back into the Hina clone. New water appeared; Nitori was moving more water to fight them. It formed into two more clones, this time of a girl with a single horn on her head, and a girl wearing a shrine maiden outfit. ?Sanae.? No... Reimu,? Momiji said, observing the new clone. ?Hm. Three on two. Don't know who the third one is, though...?
(OOC: The fact that Nitori was in SA gives me so much variety to work with, it's amazing. This is as good a time as any, so...
Hotaru vs Water!Marisa
Utsuho v Nitori
Ohuku & Momiji vs Water!Hina, Water!Yuugi, and Water!Reimu
Don't worry, the scales will tip in your favor a bit, soon. The water clones aren't as resilient now as they used to be, since Nitori has to control four at once. They'll just be much weaker in general, so don't worry too much about me suddenly throwing Yuugi and Reimu at you, heh. However, this happens a bit after the next part of Hotaru vs Water!Marisa, so it's about the same as it was earlier for her.)
Berzul
Yuyuko smiled a comforting smile, resting her hand on Yoshiko's head. ?It's alright, child... I'm sorry about that. I have a joking nature, but I do hurt people from time to time.? She rubbed Yoshiko's head for a minute. She then listened to the girl's question. ?Well, if you were alive, I highly doubt you'd end up here. So, it's safe to say that you are dead. It's alright if you don't remember your life, though. We almost never do.?
XinXin and Wolfsbane
(OOC: I'll mostly let you two steer this conversation. I'll have the NPCs speak at appropriate times, of course, but I want you two to have a sort of conversation. And, the NPCs don't have much to add right now.)
Sour, Sonae, and GuardianTempest
Shou put her hand on Minako's shoulder. ?It's alright. They don't pose any threat to the village, and Keine poses no threat to us.?
---
Suika grinned. ?It's a title to show that I'm one of the four strongest Oni around! And yep, that mountain. We used to live there, but we moved underground. Of course, Deva of the Underground doesn't have the same ring, y'know??
Keine sighed. ?May as well be Deva of the Liquor.?
Reisen-tanith
Kotohime nodded. ?It's the human village, but here are a lot of tame Youkai that come here to trade, or do other things. Don't think any of them actually live in the village itself, though.?
(OOC: Well, Keine, Sayuri, Suika, and Futo are a bit outside of the crowd around the dragon statue at the center of the village. Shou and Minako are above, but out of sight for now. Heal is hidden in a bush farther away.)
Immaterial Crow and Dorakyura
Hilde found that Yuugi was behind her. ?Nah, I want to see what this's about. Got nothing better to do, y'know??
- - -
Koishi burst into the room, followed by Chiseki. Faces turned to her, including Satori's. ?Koishi? What are you doing here??
Koishi panted, supporting herself on her knees. ?I need... to talk... in private...?
Hilde and Yuugi entered at this point. Satori frowned. ?...Hm. We were in the middle of a vote, but I suppose if it's that important...? she looked at Chiseki and Hilde. ?...You two come as well. People murmured throughout the room as Koishi, Hilde, and Chiseki followed Satori to a door at the back of the room. She opened the door, and led them through a hallway into a small meeting room. Satori closed the door behind them, and sat at the head of the table. ?So??
Koishi looked into her sister's eyes, completely serious. ?The hashihime's subconscious has been altered. And not by me,? she said, cutting off her sister's question. ?We encountered her earlier, and she was... different. She's never been exactly pleasant, but she was even worse.?
Satori frowned. ?Well, people change-?
?Their subconscious doesn't. Not this much,? Koishi said, cutting her off. ?She's dangerous, Big Sis. Something is definitely not right here.?
