Meira Quest (Part 5) (Completed)

[日巫子]

"like more secret?" Say, scraching your head.

> Kouyoshi nods.  "Like that."

>"Like, somebody didn't want anyone to find it? Or maybe they just didn't have a use for it..."

> "See, if they wanted to do that, they should've hidden it better.  Even faeries go to that place, they'd probably have found it sooner or later."
> Kouyoshi flops back into the grass.  "And that's what I was thinking about.  Although if they didn't need it anymore just throwing it in the basement would make more sense."

"Well the old shrine maiden is dead.  Dead people don't need much..." say somewhat uncomfortably.

[Sect]

> Carefully pick it up with our yukata sleeves covering our hands.

[日巫子]

"Well the old shrine maiden is dead.  Dead people don't need much..." say somewhat uncomfortably.

> You comment that that "Tamiko" lady is dead, and get a very unpleasant feeling in your stomach.

> Carefully pick it up with our yukata sleeves covering our hands.

> You roll your sleeves over your hands and pick up the orb.
> It...
> It's not burning you.
> Kouyoshi sits up.  "That was simple."

> _

[nolrai2]

"It burned us through the cloth before, didn't it?"

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

> Test bounciness if we throw it.

[日巫子]

"It burned us through the cloth before, didn't it?"

> "But it's not burning you now," Kouyoshi says.

> Test bounciness if we throw it.

> You wonder if you should try throwing the orb.  You still don't know exactly how bouncy it can be.

> _

[nolrai2]

Say, puzzled, "No it isn't."

Try tossing it. Gently, away from people or buildings.

[日巫子]

Say, puzzled, "No it isn't."

Try tossing it. Gently, away from people or buildings.

> "Ok."
> You carefully toss the orb away.  It bounces off the grass away from you, as if it were a bouncy ball on concrete.  It hits another tree, leaving a dent as it bounces off, and starts to come back towards you.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Catch it!

[日巫子]

>Catch it!

> You open your arms and let the orb bounce right into you.  Because you catch it with your arms, which are covered by your sleeves, you don't feel any burning.

> _

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Hey, cool!"
>Throw it again!

[日巫子]

>"Hey, cool!"
>Throw it again!

> Not bad.
> You throw the orb again.  It bounces off, going past the tree and around the back of the schoolhouse.
> Kouyoshi's ears twitch, and she wanders after it.

[Sect]

> Chase after the orb and pick it up! "I bet we can beat the snot out of the kitsune... Hey, should we try again now?"

[日巫子]

> Chase after the orb and pick it up! "I bet we can beat the snot out of the kitsune... Hey, should we try again now?"

> You give chase and manage to grab the orb before it can bounce away from you.
> This thing looks and feels pretty powerful.  You figure you could do some serious damage with it.
> Kouyoshi nods.  "You could burn the kitsune with it and everything."

> _

[Sect]

> "... What's... what's stopping us from doing it now? Strike while the fire's hot! She's gotta still be hurt, right?"

[日巫子]

> "... What's... what's stopping us from doing it now? Strike while the fire's hot! She's gotta still be hurt, right?"

> "Probably."  Kouyoshi shrugs.  "You were just getting used to that orb, weren't you?"

> _

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Oh. Yeah, that's a good point. But who could teach me to use it?"
>"Hey, we should ask Mokou! Maybe she'll know something!"

[日巫子]

>"Oh. Yeah, that's a good point. But who could teach me to use it?"
>"Hey, we should ask Mokou! Maybe she'll know something!"

> Kouyoshi raises an eyebrow.  "I thought you had a hang of it already."

> _

[nolrai2]

"well, sort of"

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"I'm not very good at aiming it yet, though."
>"ANd I want to find out how to make it come back to me so I don't have to go grab it every time."

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Do you think it'd be a stupid idea to tie string around it?"

[日巫子]

"well, sort of"

> "Okay."

>"I'm not very good at aiming it yet, though."
>"ANd I want to find out how to make it come back to me so I don't have to go grab it every time."

> "Would she know about that?"

>"Do you think it'd be a stupid idea to tie string around it?"

> "Yes."

> _

[nolrai2]

> "Yes"

> Pout and put our hands on our hips.
> "Thats mean! but hmm you are probably right, maybe a rope or a chain with a net would work better..or I could get really good at flying..to try and catch it..but I don't think anyone can fly _that_ fast."

> Does the Gensokyo diet include fish?

"Would she know about that?"

> "She knows about fire, and this burned us, so...maybe? Do have any other ideas? We've already talked to Keine-sensei."

[Sect]

Hey guys, we have a good enough handle on the orb, or at least as good as Reimu did in the first Touhou game, we can handle it ourselves.

> Ignore all of that above.

> "Uh... good point... yeah, I think I can handle it myself!"
> We gotta be confident.
> "Hey, Kouyoshi, Kouyoshi, should we use tofu to draw her out again?"

[Hanzo K.]

True, but the big question is; Have we healed enough?
We only just fought the kitsune...what, 2, 3 days ago? There's no way we're healed up enough from that.

> We gotta be confident.
> "Hey, Kouyoshi, Kouyoshi, should we use tofu to draw her out again?"

> You figure you've got a good idea of how to use this orb already.  All that's left is to figure out how to draw the kitsune out again.
> "Hmm...Yeah, but we're going to have to be creative about it.  She'll probably know it's us, considering it'll be at the same location and the same thing we did last time."  She grins a little.  "That's going to be fun."

> _

[Hanzo K.]

>"Got any ideas?"

[Sect]

> Would there be a problem with, say, just having the tofu out there and standing right in the open to challenge her?
