>Check chest for unusual growths. If we have a chest, that is.>If you have one, you can't see it right now. This should be investigated.
>Relationship status with Stuffman and/or 5MS>Stuffman
>Quickly retrieve arms from chest.>The existence of both your chest and arms is still disputed.
>Note any items, places, or people of interest in the field.>Relationships
>Check our current relationships.
>Become kitten.>You are not a Hakurei Shrine Yin-Yang Orb.
>This simply will not do. We WILL become kitten, even if it means leaf ears and reed tail.
>Perhaps our disguise will even fool Reimu and let us join her ranks. After all, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
>What's the farseer fairy staring at?
>... how do we perceive things, anyway?
>How do we see, anyway?>You can see things like a creature with eyesight can. You estimate your vision's capability is comparable to either that of an ordinary youkai or a human's, as you cannot 'zoom' your sight and because your field of view is limited to one side of your body.
>Can we see anything in the direction the fairy is looking?>In the sky, you can see a slowly moving tiny dot. You can't really tell what it is from this far away, though.
>Contemplate the relationship of Fairies and Dairy.>You do not know of anything or anybody who goes by the name of Dairy.
>Go to Fairy.
>Have we tried pretending to be a Hakurei Shrine orb?>You haven't. You do fill the criteria of being a Yin-Yang Orb, but you're red and white instead of black and white like Hakurei Shrine orbs are. Then again, you aren't sure if Reimu discriminates based on color.
>Stay near ground level away from Reimu's attacks, sneak behind her, and give her a hug.>Incidentally, stealth is the forte of all Yin-Yang Orbs. You're able to establish an adaptive camouflage over your body if you so will it. Humans don't seem to be very good at noticing camouflaged Yin-Yang Orbs from what you've noticed, as you've seen fellow Yin-Yang Orbs flanking Reimu successfully in the past while stealthed and even catching her off guard sometimes.
>Nooo Reimu our waifu ;_;>You wish you could cry externally. She just wasn't in the mood for hugs.
> About how much pain is the normal beatdown, compared to this?>You'd much rather have the stabbing pain of her persuasion needles right now than this. You feel like you aren't going to be able to fly very high for a while.
> Make a mental note that when Reimu is busy shooting down bunches of fairies, "directly behind Reimu" is probably among the most unhealthy of places for us to suddenly appear. Even though it worked perfectly.>Noted. You shudder to think about what she could've done to you if you had appeared directly in front of her.
>Whine like a kicked puppy.>No one hears your whining, since you can't talk currently and there was no other orbs nearby to transmit your thoughts to.
>How competent are we at danmaku?
>Does danmaku leave behind burn marks on surfaces that it hits?
>If so, attempt to convey a simple "Hello!" by shooting the ground with danmaku in the shape of text, leaving burnt markings that spell out the words.
>Whoa. This is new. Did Reimu beat a new power into us or something?>You wouldn't exactly call this a new power. You've always been able to communicate with other Yin-Yang Orbs in this way, but for some reason, the fairy heard your thoughts. Well, that part sort of does count as new.
>Are we... talking?>Going by the definition of how this works, this isn't exactly the same as physically talking, but in practice, it's the same as talking. You're transmitting your thoughts to the fairy, but she can hear your thoughts as if you were talking aloud. At least you assume that's what's happening on her end, because you've experienced every single case of communication in the past with an other Yin-Yang Orb this way: they transmit thoughts like you do, but you can hear audible voices.
>Ponder the implications of orbxfairy crossbreeding.>You try to, but you only manage to get your mind to hurt. Now you truly are in a world of pain!
>What is the fairy's name? Come to think of it, do we have a name?>You do not recognize this fairy's face, and you cannot think of any notorious fairies with dark red hair.
>Milt? keiju siivet maistuvat?
>"I don't understand why you can hear me when most fairys don't, but for the love of all the gods stick with me. Just let me recover from that... ow.">The fairy gives you a stern nod without saying anything. She's probably too busy wondering how you survived Reimu's wrath and how she can hear you 'talking'.
>"Are we safe?"
>Are we capable of moving now?>You're not sure, the pain hasn't begun subsiding yet..
>"I can try, or maybe you can carry me?">The fairy nods to you again. "It's fine, I can carry you if you can't do it... I think."
>Give it a try.>You struggle, but in vain. You can't take off in your current condition.
>Don't fairies have a compulsion to attack Reimu?
>Alas, we are but one orb, and cannot fulfill her dreams of oppai
>Quietly in return, if we can 'whisper' with our methods of speaking: "How will you do that?"
>"Do you have a name, dear fairy friend?">"I'm Hima! Or Himawari, if you wanna be formal."
>If there's a lull, also ask why she's being quiet. She probably knows something we don't...>You suspect the fairy knows something you don't.
>"Reimu may have wanted to finish the job if she was worried about any recovering to come after her. But I suppose I'm being paranoid."
>HAVE we noticed what odd things have been happening recently?
>Try moving around.
>"Its been pretty hot lately, hasn't it?"
>Come to think of it, did our parents name us?>You don't recall ever having a name. Your parents called you their child, and respectfully, you called them your mom and dad.
>How proficient are we at spinning?
>"Huh...And she did shoot down pretty much everyone pretty viciously. Even blasted me into the ground when all I was trying to do was greet her."
>Insert Beat panel Here
>"...Incident! I bet that's what's going on! Reimu must be just as bugged by the abnormal heat as everyone else. And when Reimu gets annoyed..."
>Was Armpits headed in the direction of Misty Lake?
>We don't need to eat, do we?
>If the drought's that bad, the human village may have some trouble... guess it's understandable she's mad.
>"Should we avoid getting involved? It seems I've already been rejected."
>What do we know about the healing prowess of fairies? Will our new friend be in need of help for a while?
>"Well, getting a talisman smacked on what passes for a face among us Orbs, then kicked into the ground so hard you make a decent crater on impact good enough?"
>Do we know anything about the special power of some Yin-Yang orbs to communicate over long distances? Could our newfound communication ability be somehow related?
> Walk the Orbwalk (ability check)
>Do we have any magical abilities aside from flying, danmaku, talking to fairies?
>"Reimu's already fought with us once. I would be willing to expect her to strike first if we encounter her during the investigations again, and trying to figure things out would make that more likely."
>"Then again, I do want to understand why you can hear me when most fairies can't... if you're set on looking into it, I guess I could tag along until we get some clues about that. I don't see how they'd be related, but..."
>"Alright. What's your pal like, then? Do you think they'd be able to hear me?"
>Explain the way orb talking usually works to her on the way.
>"It's all relative my fine fey friend, all relative. That said, isn't it weird that we could hear her yawning all the way over here?"
>Indicate Greeny over there in whatever way we can that doesn't involve Danmaku. Never know if she'll take it as a challenge or not, which would be bad.
Edit: >Wait, do we need to flee? What do we know about the Kazami Yuuka?
>Regardless of our knowledge of the situation, we're in no condition for a fight if she decides to be hostile. We should go around the sunflower field if we can, since it looks like she might consider it hers.
>Oh, well that's just lovely.
>... Hima didn't go up, did she? That can be easy to overlook...
>What do we know about fairy respawn mechanics, if Yuuka gets mad at her?
>... since she probably wouldn't be able to hear us explain the situation, let's go into camo mode while working out what to do about our missing friend. Unless that would be too draining or make us look suspicious?
>"Well, I was going to ask how I managed to hear that youkai girl that came out of the sunflowers yawning earlier from so far away, but I think now I want to warn you that I've heard she can be very dangerous. We should probably leave so she doesn't get angry about us being here."
>"We were going to go meet up with your friend by the lake, right?"
>Do we know which direction is directly out of the flower field, and which direction has the Kazami Yuuka?>West, south and east are obvious exits. You saw Yuuka on the west side, outside of the sunflower field.
>"Let's go. Stay quiet, and no sudden movements. I'll explain when we're in a safer place."
>Go southeast
>The strong ones are always smiling. Shit.
>"Feeling curious while going to visit her friend."
>Can Yuuka hear us, even if she can't see us?
>"C'mon Himawari, let's go!"
>Fly away, assuming our fairy does the same.
>"She scared me, too. Are you okay? We can take a break if you need it."
>"I don't have arms but I'll do my best."
>Gently nuzzle our fairy's torso.
>"To be fair, it's been a bit weird ever since you were able to hear me."
>"Though that isn't always a bad thing, is it?"
>Can we power someone up by orbiting them?
>"To the lake then."
>Fondly regard creation.
>"This place is really foggy."
>"Where would your friend be right now?"
>>"You don't look like you have a 'stache."
>"Do you remember where it is?"
>What color are her eyes?
>Follow the fairy.
>"Orbs don't really have possessions.Except for Crazy Yang."
>"I get the feeling I'm going to want some explanation for most of these. I think I can guess at the story behind the fan and the hat, but the rest I'm not sure I understand. Is the spade just for digging, or...?"
> "Wow. That is one cool leaf. Where did you find that?"
(assuming Hima hasn't just told us where she found it, that is)
>Would the hat fit ourheadbodyself?
>Hat's not strictly necessary... well, let's try it on and see what Hima thinks of it, at least.
>"What about the bag, if you're willing to say?"
>How does our black and white pattern correspond to sensory or internal organs? Do orbs use mirrors?
>Ask Hima if she wants to help us with the hat and what she thinks of the look.
>"That's probably for the best. If I dropped your hat I wouldn't even be able to pick it back up."
>"Should we look for your friend?"
>How old are we?
>What colors were our parents, and do we have any special way to tell orbs apart?
>"Ok, ready to go?"
>"What's your friend look like?"
>Do we have any hobbies or special traits, other than not following the path of the warrior?
>Follow Hima.
>"...Right. It's been a weird day after all."
>"How should we find each other once one of us finds her?"
>How likely is it for us to get in trouble with the fairies around here?
>Commence the search for our fairy's buddy as planned.
>"Uh, that her?" Indicate the fairy in question however best we can.
>After saying this, fly over to the fairy.
>Consider not saying anything just to mess with Himawari.
>Can we rotate ourself perpendicular to our viewing axis, so we stay looking at something but make the pattern spin around? If so, try to do so.
>"Hello Mica. Nice to meet you."
What gender are we?
Can we talk to multiple orbs or fairies at once?
>"Girls, maybe we should start moving away from the crowd."
>Start floating in the direction away from the cloud of fairies.
>"Let's move farther away.">"Very far."
>You haven't. You do fill the criteria of being a Yin-Yang Orb, but you're red and white instead of black and white like Hakurei Shrine orbs are. Then again, you aren't sure if Reimu discriminates based on color.Reimu in EoSD, PCB, and MoF to TD (Farthest I can confirm) have a red Ying-Yang orb in the sprite sheets:
[Clarification][/clarification]
>What is our body structure? Is it basically invincible, since we got attacked by Reimu before?
>Stare blankly for a bit, then do whatever passes for a bemused shrug for orbs. "Well girls. any, uh, idea what caused that? Did the heat just fry their brains or something?"
>"Let's move farther away."
>"Very far."
>"Has this sort of thing happened before?"
>"Why, I do believe we've got yet another annoyed someone somewhere nearby."
>Are we currently capable of getting a bird's-eye view of this little area? if so; "Gimme a second to scan the area." And then proceed to do so.
> How big are we?
> Would it be possible to douse ourselves with black ink/paint to look like Reimu's orbs?
>Get closer to our buddy.
