Mokou Quest - Violence Gensokyo

[Blitzer]

>"Just decided to check it out. Some stone structure down there, doors are stuck though. Kind of interesting, though I dunno why anyone needs it guarded, what with the devil fish down there."

>Kurumi says "...Well, I can say for sure that that's not the mysterious power. It's an alternate way into Yuka's mansion over there.''

> Grimace at the feel of blood underneath our clothes.
> "Shoulda really thought this one through, though..."

>Hatate nods gravely and says "Yep, you should've. So, are we doing this or what?"

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"Yea, let's go"

Leave me in a sandbox and I mess up the castle.

[Sect]

Congratulations, Mokou now looks like she came out of a production of "Carrie"

[Blitzer]

>"Yea, let's go"

>Hatate lets go of Kurumi. Kurumi mutters "...It's too late to do anything about her intrusion anyways. At least she didn't seem to touch anything."
>You and Hatate head over to Yuka's mansion. It's only a short way over.
>When you approach the mansion, you see... Alice Margatroid. ....With an axe. .....Whacking at the mansion gate. You also see a bloody shoe and sock on the ground. Oh dear, did Alice remove someone's foot?
>Alice screams "LET! ME! IN! YOU! MARISA-STEALING! BASTARD!" while punctuating each word with an axe to the gate.
>She doesn't realize that she could just simply fly over the gate, nor that her whacking seems to do nothing to the iron gate.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>Pull Hatate to any place we can hide behind at, so she won't notice us.

[Blitzer]

>Pull Hatate to any place we can hide behind at, so she won't notice us.

>You jerk Hatate behind a nearby tree.
>"Urk! So, why should we stop because of Alice?"

[Sect]

> "Look at Alice. Now look at that severed foot. Now back to Alice. Now back to me. Do you see a potential problem here?"
> Has Alice always been this nuts, or is this a recent development?

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

> Has Alice always been this nuts, or is this a recent development?

Sect, read the beginning of the story and see what's the problem in this quest. Not only Alice is nuts. if you want me to make a list, then I can (but on Monday)

[Blitzer]

> "Look at Alice. Now look at that severed foot. Now back to Alice. Now back to me. Do you see a potential problem here?"

>"I don't think she'll attack us if all her anger is concentrated on Yuka. In fact, we can use that to our advantage."

> Has Alice always been this nuts, or is this a recent development?

>Well, Alice has been this nuts since that dark portal opened. I'd have to go with Smok here.

[Sect]

Smok's distracted from recovery from his con, I guess, so I'll boost this.

> Light facepalm. "Right, right. Hm... so, why don't we open the gates, then? Stay here: you don't heal as good."
> Put hands in pockets, and stride up to Alice, out of axe reach. "Hey, why don't you just try flying over? Or at least opening the gate?"

[Blitzer]

> Light facepalm. "Right, right. Hm... so, why don't we open the gates, then? Stay here: you don't heal as good."

>Hatate nods, but looks at you somewhat questioningly when you mention that she doesn't heal as fast as you do.

> Put hands in pockets, and stride up to Alice, out of axe reach. "Hey, why don't you just try flying over? Or at least opening the gate?"

>She ignores you, continuing her insane rage.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

Thanks, Sect, I wasn't in fully recovered yesterday

>Shrug.
>Motion to Hatate and let's both fly above the gates.
>There's no reasoning with Alice...

[Blitzer]

>Shrug.

>Hatate says "Eh."

>Motion to Hatate and let's both fly above the gates.

>"Maybe we should just open the gates for the insane one."

>There's no reasoning with Alice...

>No kidding.

>You hear a loud ring. It seems that Alice has actually succeeded in making the gate bend.

>You are now on the other side of the gate. There isn't much on this side of the gate. It's just a few feet between the gate and the mansion.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>So what's in front of us? The mansion itself? Or does it have some yard?
>If there's nothing to be explored outside, try the inner gate.

[Blitzer]

>So what's in front of us? The mansion itself? Or does it have some yard?

>The mansion. There isn't much of a yard, just some grass. You imagine Yuka's yard would be the Garden of the Sun.

>If there's nothing to be explored outside, try the inner gate.

>The inner gate, which just happens to be a door, is locked.
>Hatate says "I snuck into the door when Yuka absentmindedly left it open after she went in. She's probably more on guard now."

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"Let's check the windows"
>Fly with Hatate and look for open windows

[Blitzer]

>"Let's check the windows"

>"Right, right."

>Fly with Hatate and look for open windows

>You and Hatate fly around the house, looking for windows to enter. You find several closed windows, but no open windows. Lookking for open windows took too long...
>Hatate asks "Perhaps we should just blast our way in?"
>The gate bends some more to Alice's axe.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"Yeah, we might as well, but not the front door. These will be smashed by Alice sooner or later."
>Let's find a window big enough for us to get in yet further from this noise Alice makes.
>Break it and enter with Hatate

[Blitzer]

>"Yeah, we might as well, but not the front door. These will be smashed by Alice sooner or later."

>"Uh...huh."

>Let's find a window big enough for us to get in yet further from this noise Alice makes.

>You find a window on the back of the mansion that's quite huge. It's as if it was intended to enjoy the nice view behind you.

>Break it and enter with Hatate

>You smash the window. Ow. Maybe glass isn't as soft as you thought...
>You enter with Hatate. There are a few plants and furniture here, but no people. Or any creatures.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>Perfect
>Proceed inside with caution. Look around.

[Blitzer]

>Perfect

>Now all you've got to do is find Yuka and beat her up...

>Proceed inside with caution. Look around.

>You proceed forward through the room. It really isn't that far from the window to the other end of the room, which has two sliding doors.
>There are is an armchair facing the window and a potted sunflower on a small table to the left (your left) of the armchair. There is also a rug on the ground.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>a rug? Examine it. anything special about it?
>Let Hatate screw around

[Blitzer]

>a rug? Examine it. anything special about it?

>Nope, it just seems to be a regular rug. It is rectangular, with red and green lines.

>Let Hatate screw around

>You let Hatate screw around. Strangely enough, she doesn't screw around.
>"Doesn't look like anything notable's in here. Can we get a move on?"

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>Get a move on.
>Open the door.

[Blitzer]

>Get a move on.

>You suppose you should move on...

>Open the door.

>You open the door.
>You see a ridiculously long hallway. Longer than you can see. This has got to be longer than the length of the mansion as seen from outside. On the ground is a carpet pattern reminiscent of Yuka's skirt.
>The hallway is empty. Too empty.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"Choose your door, lady. I ain't gonna burn'em all."

[Blitzer]

>"Choose your door, lady. I ain't gonna burn'em all."

>"Last time I found Yuka, she was in a room near the middle of the hallway. Still a long way there."

[Sect]

> "Aight, tell me when we get there."
> Casually lope down the hallway, hands in our bloody pockets.

[Blitzer]

> "Aight, tell me when we get there."

>"Well then."

> Casually lope down the hallway, hands in our bloody pockets.

>You walk down the hallway, Wait a minute...
>You see a bunch of holes open up in the hallway. Figures rise up from the holes and start shooting danmaku at you!

[Sect]

> "Shit!" Blast a stream of fire to intercept the danmaku.
> If it looks like Hatate might get hit, intercept the danmaku, with our own body, if necessary.
