> "Got it!"

> "Got it!"

> "Yup." Marisa says.
> "Then you may start." Reimu says.
> Marisa immediately flies far away on her broom and fires stars quickly outwards, occasionally firing stars directly towards you at a basic speed.

[Hello Purvis]

>Take a moment to track how much time we have before the basic stars get to us, then where those outward stars are going if we don't have to move right immediately.

[Suwako Moriya]

At work, so I can't really concentrate on the spatial geometry necessary for this.

It is advisable to to be detailed in your actions, particularly when it comes to not getting hit. Things like "dodge" or "graze" with no further detail are liable to be punished. Moving in specific directions, and shooting in detailed patterns, are more likely to get the desired result (though success is obviously not guaranteed).

[Hello Purvis]

The more you give the parser to work with, the better. But keep it clean and simple, if it gets too confusing what you're trying to say, it gums things up as the parser has to figure out how to deal with it. Full sentences, but not complicated ones.

>Take a moment to track how much time we have before the basic stars get to us, then where those outward stars are going if we don't have to move right immediately.

>_

> The basic stars flying to where you are won't get near you until a few seconds pass. They also seem easy to dodge.
> The outward stars are going in straight lines. There's large spaces between each shot, enough to comfortably move through it without worries. You have to do little dodging to get through this. Horizontally, there's a lot of room to move around, so you probably don't even need to dodge through the lines.
> The outward stars are close now, and it would be smart to dodge soon.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Move just a bit to the left or right, whichever provides the most space. Just enough to let the stars go past comfortably.
>How far back and to the sides are we allowed to go before it is deemed unsporting/running away? Is up and down movement condoned, and if so, to what degree?

[Neovereign]

>Move just a bit to the left or right, whichever provides the most space. Just enough to let the stars go past comfortably.
>How far back and to the sides are we allowed to go before it is deemed unsporting/running away? Is up and down movement condoned, and if so, to what degree?

> You move to the side a little to dodge the star. Another is coming, but it won't be for a bit. It seems like the aimed stars will get to your previous position at the same time, but that's no worry unless you plan to dodge back that way.

> The grounds was deemed as Misty Lake, so going anywhere outside of it might be running away. There's actually a visible barrier around the area anyways. It's big enough that you shouldn't need to worry about it, at least until Spellcards or tougher moves are used. The same goes for the ceiling, which you haven't neared yet.
> Up and down movement should be allowed. It's not like you're fighting on the ground.

[Hello Purvis]

>What cards do we have onhand?
>Let's just unleashing one of Lily White's traditional "It's Spring!" bursts, keeping it up until we need to move again.

[Neovereign]

>What cards do we have onhand?
>Let's just unleashing one of Lily White's traditional "It's Spring!" bursts, keeping it up until we need to move again.

> Freeze Sign "Perfect Freeze": Cirno's spellcard could be used defensively or offensively. For defense, you'll freeze every freezable shot in the area, then shatter them, dealing high damage. Offensively, you fire off a large amount of bullets in no particular pattern, before freezing them all. This does not freeze enemy bullets. After the freeze, you fire off a couple of straight lines of danmaku spreaded out at once. After this, you make the frozen bullets move in random directions, before repeating a few times.

Warped Perception "Deceptive Nature": Daiyousei's Spellcard that sends familiars forwards, making them shoot a certain way along their path. She then warps the familiars to spots they haven't been before, right before they explode into flower-like patterns. During this, Daiyousei will fire one-time homing danmaku that delays for a second before going to where the enemy just was.

The Parser doesn't have access to the information on the other three at the moment, please watch warmly.

> You start firing bursts of danmaku in celebration of spring. Due to being so far away, practically on the other edge of the area, Marisa has a lot of room to dodge. She does so easily.
> Marisa starts shooting more rapidly as well as making the shots aimed towards you faster.

> You're still firing and Marisa is still having no trouble dodging.
> The outward stars are a bit closer in their lines, but still easy to fly through. It's still a bit before you need to worry about dodging them.
> The aimed stars are approaching a bit behind the outward ones. Take some care to dodge well when they get closer.

[Suwako Moriya]

> Gotta advance a bit if we want to Lilysplode her properly, huh? How clear is the air in front of us to the left? What about in front of us to the right?
> Have any of Marisa's attacks taken on homing properties yet?

[Neovereign]

> Gotta advance a bit if we want to Lilysplode her properly, huh? How clear is the air in front of us to the left? What about in front of us to the right?
> Have any of Marisa's attacks taken on homing properties yet?

> You are still shooting, so the fronts of you aren't very clear. No shots have been fired higher or lower yet, so they're completely clear.
> Marisa hasn't started using homing shots.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Can we move while Lilysploding is happening, or are we stick in place?

[Monarda]

>Is it possible to add an extra wave of bubble danmaku ? Just to act as a distracting resource.

[Neovereign]

> Can we move while Lilysploding is happening, or are we stick in place?

> You can.

>Is it possible to add an extra wave of bubble danmaku ? Just to act as a distracting resource.

> You would need to focus more on shooting than moving in order to do so.
>_

[Monarda]

>Approach Marisa on a focused speed rate,  if any danmaku starts to get close to us, make a gamenote.
>What is Marisa doing at the moment ?

[Neovereign]

>Approach Marisa on a focused speed rate,  if any danmaku starts to get close to us, make a gamenote.
>What is Marisa doing at the moment ?

> Marisa is still shooting slightly faster danmaku than normal. She has only been moving slightly to dodge your bullets when they actually manage to get near her. She is also still more than half the area away from you.
> You slowly approach Marisa, continuing to fire off your waves of danmaku. There is an outward star and a group of stars aimed at your position approaching. The area to the right is practically clear, while the area to the left looks like some of the aimed stars will continue there.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Forward and right. This can't possibly be a trap!

[Monarda]

>Don't jinx it !
>Keep an eye out for those stars, they may explode...

[Neovereign]

> Forward and right. This can't possibly be a trap!

>Don't jinx it !
>Keep an eye out for those stars, they may explode...

> You fly towards the right as you advance to Marisa, evading the stars easily as they fly past. You get halfway across the area before Marisa stops shooting.
> "This is pretty boring ya know." She says, still dodging your bullets. "Just warmin up?"
>_

[Monarda]

>Stay sharp.
>"Sorta, neither of us has yet to throw something challenging."

[Neovereign]

>Stay sharp.
>"Sorta, neither of us has yet to throw something challenging."

> "Guess you're right. Let's change that." Marisa starts to approach you, weaving through the shots you're firing.
> You can see her reaching for something in her pockets.
>_

[Hello Purvis]

>How close has she gotten so far?

[Monarda]

>"Already ? Oh well."
>Stop spreading spring and move around Marisa while paying mind to any leftover danmaku, then fire a mix of stream danmaku and medium energy balls.
>Are we affected by our own danmaku ?
>Keep an eye on her. Once she pulls out *that*, pick an warp point behind her and on a relatively safe distance from her too, enough to give us a handful of seconds to dodge.

[Hello Purvis]

>Do not warp behind Marisa. We have no idea where or not there's going to be hella danmaku there, and we don't need to be dealing with post-warp if there is.

[Monarda]

That why i put just to pick one, that is more  my last resource plan rather than my main one.

[Neovereign]

>How close has she gotten so far?

> Marisa is halfway across the area. It's not as easy to dodge danmaku from here as it would be if you were very far away.

>"Already ? Oh well."
>Stop spreading spring and move around Marisa while paying mind to any leftover danmaku, then fire a mix of stream danmaku and medium energy balls.
>Are we affected by our own danmaku ?
>Keep an eye on her. Once she pulls out *that*, pick an warp point behind her and on a relatively safe distance from her too, enough to give us a handful of seconds to dodge.

>Do not warp behind Marisa. We have no idea where or not there's going to be hella danmaku there, and we don't need to be dealing with post-warp if there is.

> You are pretty sure you would be.
> You stop shooting and start moving around Marisa cautiously, firing off streaming danmaku and medium sized straight shots. Marisa stops going for her pockets, and starts to dodge your shots. She starts to dodge it by moving far around you, but starts to stream the bullets and graze the medium shots after a second, seemingly having learned the pattern.
> Marisa has still not fired back.
>_

[Monarda]

>Change pattern to a wave of pellets and bubbles, and if we can do it on the move, warp the pellets to make things more confusing.

[Neovereign]

>Change pattern to a wave of pellets and bubbles, and if we can do it on the move, warp the pellets to make things more confusing.

> You change up your pattern by firing waves of pellets and bubbles, warping the pellets around.
> It shakes Marisa up for a second as she tries to dodge the pellets being warped, but she gets used to it surprisingly quickly.
> "Love Sign" Marisa says, quickly pulling out a spellcard in one hand and her mini-hakkero in the other. The noise for a spellcard activating sounds.
>_

[Monarda]

>Quick ! Use the warp point we established !


Once the cooldown drops, we can activate a spellcard or keep using normal fire, ideas ?
