> There should be.
> You continue watching Kogasa. All seems to be going well, when you notice the yin-yang orb lurch forward and smack Kogasa on the head. As she slumps over, it continues to ricochet off the walls of your inventory, hitting both Kogasa and Sanae repeatedly. This causes Sanae to roll out of the futon and away from Kogasa, where she lays on her side.

> Way, way back before spell cards, when you were still getting the hang of using the yin-yang orb in battle, it would bounce around like this and you'd have to kick it around to make it do what you wanted. This is what it reminds you of as you chase after it, trying to catch it before it can do any more damage. As long as it doesn't go out the door, you should be able to catch it.

Sorry about inadvertently setting off HRtP 2, everyone.

> Both Sanae and Kogasa have what appear to be burn wounds on them. Part of Sanae's skirt has been burnt at the leg to reveal heavy bruising on her ankles, one of which is bent at a slightly awkward angle. Kogasa, being a youkai, is much worse for wear. Parts of her skin look like they're actually sizzling a little, and there is blood matted into her hair. Her umbrella is torn a little, and she's clutching it as tightly as she can.

> You hold the orb tight in your arms and run out of the room.
> The orb reacts like this if it detects something it perceives to be a serious threat to your life. It's not sentient, of course, but rather in-tune with you since you're the only one who uses it. It's simple, but at the same time this defense mechanism isn't something you fully understand. This function saved your life many times in the past, but ever since spell cards have been introduced it's been calm and much like an ordinary ball.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #899 on:** August 28, 2013, 01:02:01 PM »

Oh, that teapot's a thing, isn't it? That makes this much easier.

Hearing the explanation about the orb is a tremendous boon and makes me feel a lot less bad about what happened. Now the worst we need to do to get (mostly) out of this is conjecture instead of risking lying. That thing is clearly reacting to Sanae; I want to know why a comatose shrine maiden is more of a threat to our life than a conscious karakasa with direct access to all of our stuff.
