> Wonder which one of us will tire out first.
> Wonder why the Sun's so angry.

>Well, the sun's been shining as long as you remember...
>Chances are it involves things Yuka did to it, and possibly your treatment of Yuka. Or maybe's always been angry and no one noticed? It's not like you can look at it normally and tell.

> While on the ground, start working on the communication spell again

>Panic

>You are quite sufficiently panicked as is.
>Instead, you start trying to work that communication spell again, now that Yuka isn't trying to maul you anymore.

>Assuming that as long as you stay on the ground, the Sun won't MIMA-BODYSLAM you, work on the communication spell using Ran's Cap until you manage to make it work. I mean, if we can't talk the Sun back to normal, I really think we need Yukari for this  :V

>You also keep an eye out for Yukari.

> Try to spot a sun shard from your current position.

>Laying on the ground is not an excellent vantage point, but you don't notice any of them in the immediate area.

>Time to stall yuuka!
>Apologize, to yuuka, make sure she hears, and tell her the heat was clouding your judgement.
>Tell her she was right all along.
>Flatter yuuka with complements
>Go into the rocket under the facade of taking a nap and contact yukari/work spell->Contact yukari.

>Yuka is knocked out so disregard all of that

>Way to read words.

>Oh, yeah. Leave her a note then. Note body: "Dearest Yuuka Kazami; I am pleased to inform you that you are the pinnacle of youkai cuteness, surpassing my good friend Flandre Scarlet by far. Signed, Patchouli Knowledge."

>You make a note to leave Yuka a note.

> Remind self that we're lying through our teeth.

>You are. Flandre is goddamned adorable.

>Not that there's anything wrong with that.
>Speed up that spell

>Aside from spreading disinformation. Do you want the people writing books doing that?
>You completely the spell! The earflaps on Ran's Cap twitch a little bit, as the Sun passes over you again.

>"What, you're at the Sun? With Yuka?" says Ran. There is a crashing sound. "Chen! Stop that! Um, let me just tell Miss Yukari, then..."

>"Did i mention yuuka has chen pronz?"

>It doesn't seem like Ran heard that. It may be for the better. You do hear another crash, though, and a distant shout of "Chen! Put those pots away!"

>If you can do so without disrupting the communication spell or endangering yourself, crawl around looking for a Sun Shard while talking to Ran.
>Also, if you see any of the Legos we threw at Yuka, pick them up as well. We still want to give them to Flandre!

>You crawl on the ground, looking for a Sun Shard or cast off legos. You are able to gather a couple of the latter, when you notice the sun isn't swooping down upon you anymore. Instead, it is hovering overhead, glaring down at you.

>Thankfully, you are a wearing a Pair of Black Glasses, so you can glare at the sun with minimal discomfort. You give it as much of a glaring as you can with your eyes obscured and being fairly beaten up.

>Assess if the Sun is still trying to kill you. If not, get up and continue the search with the aid of being able to stand and walk. Continue to be wary of the Sun however, and ready to dodge if it goes after you again.
>Put on the cap so you may listen to whatever is happening where Ran is while you search

>You stand up. This prove to be a smart idea, as it allows you to jump aside when the Sun sends a flare of solar energy flying at you! You just barely manage to dodge it!
>You pull Ran's cap over your own. You mostly hear the distant sound of pots banging together, Chen shouting, "Go away, ghosts!" and Ran shouting, "Chen! Stop that! I'm trying to talk with Miss Yuakri!

>ask the sun if it thinks Bowser is hot

>Its answer seems to be launching another solar flare at you.

>You've never really contemplated the ramifications of fighting the sun. Does it heal? You don't know.
>If you recall what you read correctly, stars have iron in them; but they aren't in a metallic state so you don't know if your metal signs would do anything. Water Elf might do something. You have no idea if the Sun would react to blunt trauma. You do recall it didn't like Silent Selene when it first came for you, though.
