>Onwards!
>Should she try anything hostile, move outta the way!
>"What? No!"
>She quickly flies in front of you, blocking your exit.
>"I would like my apology, now and with you on your knees please."
-
>"I'm afraid that's impossible without apologizing to Rook first, good day."
>Keep walking. We'll see whose mass wins.
-
>"I'm afraid that's impossible without apologizing to Rook first, good day."
>Keep walking. We'll see whose mass wins.
>You attempt to walk past her, but she grabs the back of your collar, halting you.
>"See that sun? It's going to be gone in a few seconds. And I wouldn't want you to leave without meeting one of my friends."
-
>"Mumbai, deal with this."
-
>"Mumbai, deal with this."
>"What?"
>Mumbai jumps up and uses her lance on Mystia's hand, releasing her hold.
>"Gah! Filthy human! You're not getting away!" she screams as Mumbai proceeds to harass her head.
>At that moment, the sun finishes setting and your vision immediately drops. You can see about 5 feet in front of you, but that's it.
>Voices from the rocks start to shout. "Mystia!"
-
>Grab the shovel!
-
>Grab the shovel!
>You get the shovel out of your cart.
>You can still hear Mystia screaming, but with others talking in the midst.
>"Stay still! Let me get- OW! It stabbed me!"
>And in the distance towards the shouting, you can see a eerie bright light. Presumably Mumbai's.
-
>"You about done, Mystia?"
-
>This particular birdy just proved that she deserves to become a meal...
Oi, we visit the Netherworld anyway ]:->
-
>"You about done, Mystia?"
>"SHUT UP! I'm going to get you for this!"
>You hear another voice enter the conversation. "Is that so?~"
>"Look ove- OW! there! Dinner!"
>This particular birdy just proved that she deserves to become a meal...
>Too many bones. :3
-
>Holy shit.
>"Mumbai, defend my back!"
>Run for it.
>Do not lose our stuff. If it means we'll be slowed down, too bad, we'll be slower.
-
>HOLD IT!
>Do not panic.
>Look toward this new voice.
>Assess this this newcomer.
>Whack her with the shovel if she's charging, otherwise stay peaceful. We don't treat potential customers like this unless they treat us bad first.
-
>HOLD IT!
>Do not panic.
>Look toward this new voice.
>Assess this this newcomer.
>Whack her with the shovel if she's charging, otherwise stay peaceful. We don't treat potential customers like this unless they treat us bad first.
>You stop and turn. Too bad you're night blind and can't see that far. You do listen though.
>"Dinner?" the voice says insatiably. "I'm hungry."
>"Go get him! and get this thin- OW! out! It's in my hair!"
>"Hold still, hold still."
-
>"Why are you playing in your food's hair? She obviously wants to get eaten!"
-
>"Why are you playing in your food's hair? She obviously wants to get eaten!"
>"You hear footsteps walk toward you. "Is that so?~"
>You can see Mumbai's light source, which was frantically moving before stop moving.
>"I got it!"
-
>Look toward "Is That So"-seke.
>"Hey, if you want to come over for dinner, that's fine. We have these bamboo shoots that are just asking to be cooked up. It'd be nice to have a guest, don't you think?"
-
>Look toward "Is That So"-seke.
>"Hey, if you want to come over for dinner, that's fine. We have these bamboo shoots that are just asking to be cooked up. It'd be nice to have a guest, don't you think?"
>"Foooooooooooooooooooooood..."
>The footsteps are getting louder.
-
>"Food and drink. I'll introduce you to my friends!"
>If it looks like someone's about to grab or attack us, get 'em a good one with the broad side of the shovel.
-
>"Food and drink. I'll introduce you to my friends!"
>If it looks like someone's about to grab or attack us, get 'em a good one with the broad side of the shovel.
>You hear Mystia's voice, "Get him, Rumia!"
>A blond schoolgirl with black-and-white clothing steps into your field of vision.
>"Attacking humans is my job."
-
>"Too bad I'm not human."
-
>"Too bad I'm not human."
>"..... Is that so?~"
>She lunges forward and bites your forearm, causing you to drop the shovel.
>She lets go and licks the blood around her mouth. "You taste human."
>You are now in a world of pain.
-
>Think of something that'll fool a youkai.
>If not, how far is the shovel away from us now?
>If it's close enough to grab, try to shake her off and grab it again.
-
>Think of something that'll fool a youkai.
>If not, how far is the shovel away from us now?
>If it's close enough to grab, try to shake her off and grab it again.
>You need to think of that yourself.
>The shovel is lying in front of you.
>She already let go, so you pick it up. But your right arm is in too much pain to properly wield it.
>"Fooooooooood. Rumia hasn't eaten in so long."
>She gets some crazy eyes going.
-
>Do we still have that knife?
>If so, can we get it fast enough before Rumia decides to lunge again?
>If not, run. As fast as we can.
-
>Do we still have that knife?
>If so, can we get it fast enough before Rumia decides to lunge again?
>If not, run. As fast as we can.
>You do indeed, but it's in your cart.
>You don't know when she's going to lunge. Knife or run?
-
>If she still getting that crazy eye going on, try to get to the cart.
>If not, keep the shovel in case we need to smack her, or at least keep her off of us.
>Are youkais attracted to human blood?
-
>If she still getting that crazy eye going on, try to get to the cart.
>If not, keep the shovel in case we need to smack her, or at least keep her off of us.
>Are youkais attracted to human blood?
>She does still heave the crazy eye, so you drop the shovel and go around to the cart and equip the knife.
>Varies from youkai to youkai. It's a general term.
>She takes a step forward.
-
>How far is Mystia away from us?
>Can we get to Mystia from where we are without getting lunged by the youkai?
>If we can, gather the blood and apply it on the bare skin on Mystia.
>If not, keep the knife ready.
>Get ready to avoid the next lunge.
;; I'm horrible at these kinds of situation.
-
>How far is Mystia away from us?
>Can we get to Mystia from where we are without getting lunged by the youkai?
>If we can, gather the blood and apply it on the bare skin on Mystia.
>If not, keep the knife ready.
>Get ready to avoid the next lunge.
>You're night blind, so you're not sure about the distance. But you do know she's too far away to reach.
>Rumia lunges again, but she's too fast for you to dodge it. She bites down the the exact same spot.
-
>Use the knife to attack Rumia.
>Check arm's condition as soon as she gets off.
-
>Why didn't we whack Rumia with the shovel when she closed in like we were plotting to? =[
>Screw the knife, put her in a headlock if she's going to wrassle!
-
I'm sorry. I guess I should stay out of this kind of stuff. ;;
-
>Why didn't we whack Rumia with the shovel when she closed in like we were plotting to? =[
>Screw the knife, put her in a headlock if she's going to wrassle!
>The command specified to whack her if she attacked. She didn't in my post. I can't be expected to know how long you want to keep your commands.
>You attempt to put her in a headlock, but it's awkward the way she's biting you.
>You hear a voice over where Mystia is. "Rumia! Stop it now!"
>Rumia stops biting and turns her head to look at the source. "Huh?"
>"RUN!"
-
>S'point, ain't it.
>Grab that shovel again, whilst Rumia is distracted.
-
>S'point, ain't it.
>Grab that shovel again, whilst Rumia is distracted.
>Oh wow, a certain game I've been playing has made me really defensive.
>You pick up the shovel with your left hand.
>The voice shouts again, "What are you doing?! RUN!"
>Rumia turns her head back to you, looking very confused.
-
>Grab cart. Move!
>Do we recognize the voice?
-
>Grab cart. Move!
>Do we recognize the voice?
>You get your cart and hightail it out of there.
>It seems the voice was... Wriggle?
>You can hear Rumia whine, "But I is hungryyyyyyyy." Doesn't sound like she is chasing though.
-
>Hustle off.
>Make a mental note to give Wriggle a discount.
-
>Hustle off.
>Make a mental note to give Wriggle a discount.
>You get out of there, but your arm is still hurt and bleeding.
>You remember to give Wriggle the "You helped save my life" discount.
-
>Examine arm, once we're content with being some distance away.
>Ponder if Mumbai is going to find her way back.
-
>Examine arm, once we're content with being some distance away.
>Ponder if Mumbai is going to find her way back.
>The arm is bleeding faster than you would like. Her bites didn't rip anything but you have some nasty puncture wounds in there.
>Mumbai should know how to find you, and her size makes her a speedy trooper.

>Use a piece colorful cloth to staunch the bleeding.
>Head home and get it treated properly.
-
>Use a piece colorful cloth to staunch the bleeding.
>Head home and get it treated properly.
>You attempt to use a cloth to stop the bleeding, but it's difficult doing so with one hand.
>As you go back home and enter the door, Rook and Tear jump up and rush to you.
>Rook: "What happened?!"
-
>Pull it tight via teeth and free hand before heading back.
>"Ran into Mystia. Got into an argument, she sicced some youkai on me. I kinda panicked, left myself open. So she bit me a couple times. Um...got any alcohol, I kind of want to treat this."
-
>Pull it tight via teeth and free hand before heading back.
>"Ran into Mystia. Got into an argument, she sicced some youkai on me. I kinda panicked, left myself open. So she bit me a couple times. Um...got any alcohol, I kind of want to treat this."
>OK.
>Rook: "That bird!"
>Tear: "Uhhhhhh, we don't have anything for this. What about Eirin?"
-
>"Yeah, she kinda demanded I apologize for breaking off the deal. I suggested she owes you and apology, things went downhill from there."
>"Alright, let's go to Eirin's. All of us. Don't want anyone here if she tries something something stupid."
>Do so!
-
>"Yeah, she kinda demanded I apologize for breaking off the deal. I suggested she owes you and apology, things went downhill from there."
>"Alright, let's go to Eirin's. All of us. Don't want anyone here if she tries something something stupid."

>Rook: "We can worry about the bird later, we need to get you fixed up."
>Tear: "Take the cart?"
-
>"Yea, just in case.... We sure made some enemies, eh..."
-
>"Yea, just in case.... We sure made some enemies, eh..."
>Tear: "I got it." She goes over to the cart and gets in position to push it.
>Rook: "Where's Mumbai? It's dangerous to go without her."
-
>"She was supposed to cover my back. She was fending off the enemies, I hope she's alright. Anyway she knows way home, no need to worry."
-
>"She was supposed to cover my back. She was fending off the enemies, I hope she's alright. Anyway she knows way home, no need to worry."
>"But we can't get all the way to the clinic without some kind of light source!"
>Tear groans. "This stinks."
-
>"Oh, god damn it...."
>Get the quill. Hand the magic quill to Rook.
>"Listen, this thing will burst with flames, so hold it carefully"
>When he does, say "Oranges are yellow"
-
>"Oh, god damn it...."
>Get the quill. Hand the magic quill to Rook.
>"Listen, this thing will burst with flames, so hold it carefully"
>When he does, say "Oranges are yellow"
>You hand the quill to Rook, who holds it gingerly. "What?"
>You say the command, and the quill burns yellow.
>"Whoa!"
>"Ooooooo. Pretty."
-
> "This should at least help a bit."
> Lets get going.
-
> "This should at least help a bit."
> Lets get going.
>"Ok."
>You set out with Rook in the front with the quill and Tear pushing the cart from the back. And it appears you are still night-blind, though the quill helps some.
>As you progress through the forest, Rook stops. "I thought I heard something."
>You hear a snapping sound to your left.
-
> "What now..."
> Turn to the left.
-
>Look left. Get that shovel ready. But don't be too aggressive with it. Could be someone else.
-
> "What now..."
> Turn to the left.
>Look left. Get that shovel ready. But don't be too aggressive with it. Could be someone else.
>You turn to your left to see what it is. With your night-blindness, you can only make out a ball of light... two balls of light?
>They seem to be floating around until one charges at you. But it stops in your field of vision and you see that it's Mumbai.
-
> Relax a bit.
> "Thank God... Its only Mumbai. Whats with the other ball of light?"
-
>Assess Mumbai for damage.
-
> Relax a bit.
> "Thank God... Its only Mumbai. Whats with the other ball of light?"
>Relaxation. It's nice, but a tad difficult with a pained arm.
>Rook: "Who's there?"
>"Just a friend."
>The ball of light goes out and it's quiet again.
>Tear: "Come on, we still need to get you fixed up for the big day tomorrow."
>Assess Mumbai for damage.
>Mumbai has some ripped clothes, and her lance is gone, but otherwise fine.
-
>Equip Mumbai with a knife.
>"What friend?"
>Proceed on our way as well.
-
>Equip Mumbai with a knife.
>"What friend?"
>Proceed on our way as well.
>You give Mumbai the knife, but she has to hold it with both hands awkwardly, as it is too big for her.
>The voice does not respond.
>You continue on your way to the bamboo forest, where at the edge, Rook speaks up. "do we trust the doctor lady to fix up your arm for you?"
-
>"We don't have a better person to go. She IS a doctor... And by the way, I'm almost blind too"
-
>"We don't have a better person to go. She IS a doctor... And by the way, I'm almost blind too"
>"Yeah... And whoa! How did that happen?"
>Tear: "Oh noes!"
-
>"Mystia used some nightblindness crap on me"
>"Hey, do we have a better thing for Mumbai to use? She lost her lance"
-
>"Mystia used some nightblindness crap on me"
>Rook: "THAT BIRD!!!"
>Tear: "We should go see shady lady, she may know what to do about that."
-
> "Our best bet right now IS Eirin, so we should probably keep going."
> Head onwards.
> Did the voice sound like Wriggle?
-
>"By the way, does anyone have any idea who saved my life? Cause I'm pretty sure Wriggle's involved in this nice act"
>On our way to zeh lady in black. and blue and red.

>On our way to zeh lady in black. and blue and red.
>Tear: "I dunno. Whoever it was is nice."
>Maybe it was Wriggle, you've only heard her once and say a couple of sentences a while back, so you aren't entirely sure.
>You head into the bamboo forest, making your way to the clinic.
>When you arrive at the clearing, there are many rabbits around, including Uize, who comes over to you and greets you.
>"Hii~ How's it- Whoa! What did you do to yourself?"
-
>"Nothing much, just attacked by a crazy stand lady. I'm kinda half blind too. I came for a doctor, if she's no board."
-
> "Ex-client out for revenge. I'd rather not get into it right now."
-
>"Nothing much, just attacked by a crazy stand lady. I'm kinda half blind too. I came for a doctor, if she's no board."
> "Ex-client out for revenge. I'd rather not get into it right now."
>"We need to get you fixed up right now then!"
>She takes a large jump to the doors of the clinic. "Come on! I'll tell them to prepare!"
>She dashes into the clinic.
-
> Head for the clinic.
-
> Head for the clinic.
>You go to the clinic. When you enter, Eirin is waiting for you with a gurney.
>"Get on. Your friends can't follow though."
-
>"Well, yes m'aam."
>Turn to our mates :"Sorry, guys, please stay outside a while with the stuff"
-
>"Well, yes m'aam."
>Turn to our mates :"Sorry, guys, please stay outside a while with the stuff"
>Tear: "Don't die."
>Rook: "See you soon. I got this." He takes the cart.
>Eirin: "Ready?"
-
>"It won't hurt, would it?"
-
>"It won't hurt, would it?"
>She gives you an annoyed look. "I can knock you out for it if you prefer. I'm sure one of the rabbits still has their hammer on them."
-
>"Ok, fine, sorry, lady..."
>Let her screw around with our body a bit then.
-
>"Ok, fine, sorry, lady..."
>Let her screw around with our body a bit then.
>"Good."
>You get on the gurney, and she wheels you out of the room and down a very long hallway, passing by a lot of doors.
>She stops in front of one and opens it, wheeling you inside.
>The room has a sterile-looking bed, curtains, and a few basins by it.
>She maneuvers the gurney next to the bed.
>"Off."
-
>"I barely see..."
>"uh..... Thanks, Miss Yagokoro"
>Do as she says
-
> Get off the gurney.
-
>"I barely see..."
>"uh..... Thanks, Miss Yagokoro"
>Do as she says
>"You've lost your vision? Do you know why? And for how long?"
> Get off the gurney.
>You get off the gurney and lie down on the bed. She pushes the gurney away and pulls up a chair..
>"I'm going to want you to lie on your stomach and hold your arm out."
-
> Do as she says.
> "That night sparrow blinded me in an attempt to get revenge. Don't know how long though."
-
> Do as she says.
> "That night sparrow blinded me in an attempt to get revenge. Don't know how long though."
>You lie down and hold your arm out.
>"So it's magic. This may be trickier to fix than I first thought."
>"This is going to hurt a lot, so turn your head to the left and try not to think about it."
-
> Do as she says.
> Try to think about the party tomorrow.
-
>"Can I have a bit of leather to bite on?"
-
> Do as she says.
> Try to think about the party tomorrow.
>You turn you head to the left.
>Party? At a fancy mansion? Booyah.
>"Can I have a bit of leather to bite on?"
>"Why would you need one?"
-
> "Nevermind."
> Guess its a no go for the leather then.
> Think about Meiling.
-
> "Nevermind."
> Guess its a no go for the leather then.
> Think about Meiling.
>"Now I'm going to begin pretty soon, so tell me when you're ready."
>Guess so.
>Ahh, Meiling.
-
>"Do it."
-
>"Do it."
>"I would if I wasn't already done."
-
>"Wait, what?"
-
>Look at our wound
-
> "Well... That was easier than expected."
