> Karma: Blindside Yukari.

[Hello Purvis]

> Kamina: Blindside Yukari.

[theshirn]

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

[Kasu]

[E-Nazrin]

> Karma: Blindside Yukari.
> Kamina: Blindside Yukari.

>Masha: Grow a spine.
>Masha: Cause a minor incident involving cuteness spores and related moeblobbery. Get Chen in on the action.

>Malice: Victory makeouts.

[capt. h]

> Masha: Find a use for that useless piece of paper in your pocket.

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

> [Ending] Yasora: Refuse defeat. Be the star.

YASORA cannot be THE STAR because UTSUHO is too busy being a FALLING BIRD. Presumably, this is being observed by a GOD somewhere.

> [Ending] ==>

Fortunately, it is also being observed by a CAT.

SATORI tells ORIN to take MASHA off with the other PLAYER CHARACTERS.

> [Ending] ==>

> [Ending] ==>

> [Ending] Regroup.

You start to head back. REIMU returns, having recovered from her FATAL K.O. (while the MIDNIGHT CREW is still unconscious, and likely to remain so until around NOON). She is accompanied by CIRNO, who is just flipping the fricking fricky frick out over her worry for UTSUHO.

> [Ending] Masha: Find a use for that useless piece of paper in your pocket.

> [Ending] Marisa: Celebrations! Parties! PIE!

Nah ... Honestly, you're all just exhausted after all that. It is way past everyone's bedtime, notwithstanding the fact that you're all YOUKAI and don't actually need it (except for REIMU), but still. You just had a POST-INCIDENT PARTY, anyway, and MASHA at least is way too partied-out.

And so you all prepare to part ways for now, and say your goodbyes; MASHA will be sleeping at the SHRINE until she figures out what she wants to do next.

You, on the other hand ...

> [Ending] ==>

You are MARISA KIRISAME. You call yourself an ORDINARY WITCH, even though you are approximately the third-biggest name in GENSŌKYŌ, a sealed-away reality which contains many examples of MAGIC, YOUKAI, and MISCELLANEOUS SUPERNATURAL SHENANIGANS. You live in the FOREST OF MAGIC with your wife ALICE MARGATROID, the love of your life. It is mid-morning on June 22, 2019, and you are both at home.

You briefly ponder the fact that your MAGICAL MUSHROOM STEW was cooking for several days, and has now been slowly congealing for another several days. You and ALICE have taken some samples and performed some experiments. The result: it has produced a large amount of NON-DESTRUCTIVE MAGICAL ENERGY. This was somewhat difficult, because you're mostly only good at the other kind. You have 8 SOUL-MUSHROOM POINTS, and your plan for the day is to use them.

You know what you'll do at last.

(Just a couple more updates after this, and I probably won't take much user-input.)

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

And it's the best story graphic-wise (because it has any graphics at all)

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Marisa: Dump all your points on Shanghai.

[Hello Purvis]

>Mushroom Boiling Kettle: Voice whatever complaints you've had lately.

[GuardianTempest]

>Marisa: Spent points on arms.

[Kyo Tanaka]

Doll: Devour pumpkin

[capt. h]

I liked the brick joke.

> Masha: Start a fight with Marisa over the stew. She murdered those poor mushrooms!

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

> [Ending] Marisa: Quickly retrieve arms from Future Masha Spent points on arms.

You are now FUTURE MASHA.

> [Ending] Masha: Admire handiwork.

> [Ending] ==>

> [Ending] <==

So, uh, yeah, you've already got arms.

> [Ending] Marisa and Alice: Do it, man. Make it hapen.

> [Ending] Alice: Do her first.

The thing about SOULS is that they may be divided infinitely, with the proper ENERGY and CAPABILITY, although the process has little in common with CELLULAR DIVISION and more closely resembles the fact that you can use a lit CANDLE to light another one even though you only have one FLAME to start with.

Each step of this process takes 1 SOUL-MUSHROOM POINT. You have 5 remaining with which MARISA may do the same thing to you. With the last two steps after that, you have no MARGIN FOR ERROR.

> [Ending] ==>

[Hello Purvis]

>Soul Bit: Be the part of Marisa's soul that governs kleptomania; steal kettle.
>Masha: Victory Dance.

[capt. h]

>Muffin: Does Masha feel the same way about mushrooms as Medicine feels about dolls?

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Masha: Become Marisa's illegal fungi swag dealer.

[E-Nazrin]

>Soul Bit: Be the part of Marisa's soul that governs kleptomania; steal kettle.

>Shanghai: Intervene.

[capt. h]

>Shanghai: Intervene.

You know, I hadn't realized until now that Alice was consciously making shanghai float the entire time she was ripping out pieces of her own soul.

>Shanghai: Come to life. Say rude things about Marisa.

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

Nah, just from Marisa.

EDIT: Though, hmm ... Time to make a quick edit to clarify!

EDITEDIT: And it wasn't until today that I realized I left out a single sentence in the pre-battle dialogue which I've now put back in which makes Yasora's villainy a lot clearer.

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

> [Ending] Marisa: Do her second.

You do ALICE'S SECOND.

> [Ending] Masha: Do you feel the same way about mushrooms as Medicine feels about dolls?

Yes. As of MEDICINE MELANCHOLY's current state of affairs, you view MUSHROOMS as somewhat interesting, and important insofar as they are the reason for your existence, but ultimately unimportant in the GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS. That aside, you make a MODEST SUM selling created-mushrooms as INGREDIENTS, although you can't make MAGICAL ones.

You arrive at the SHRINE.

> [Ending] [S] Yukari: Get blindsided by karma.

[AUDIO]



Hey, there's MASHA and MARISA b'duh!

In YASORA's defense, you probably deserve this. Oh, well, on the plus side, she and UTSUHO are getting along these days ...

> [Ending] Marisa and Alice: Make babies.

It's amazing the kind of thing you can accomplish fully clothed and standing at opposite sides of the room.

Of course, this method bypasses both BIRTH and SEX.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Doll: Speak

[Hello Purvis]

>Suwako: Take over the Hakurei Shrine while Yukari and the Raven Delights are distracting Reimu. See if you can keep it for more than five minutes.

[E-Nazrin]

>Shanghai: Detonate.
>M&A: Proceed to the final step.
>Error: Escape margins.
>Yasora: Take the reigns.

>Suwako: Take over the Hakurei Shrine while Yukari and the Raven Delights are distracting Reimu. See if you can keep it for more than five minutes.

[Edible]

>Suika: Do absolutely nothing.

[Hello Purvis]

>Shanghai: Voice whatever complaints you've been having lately.

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Alice: First, be the doll. Second, hug your mother.
>Marisa: Punch doll in the face to establish parenthood.

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

> [Ending] Muffin: Wait, when is this all taking place!?

Right, okay, so ... the SHENANIGANS IN A MAGICAL FOREST committed by MARISA and ALICE involving SHANGHAI all take place in the year 135 by the GENSOKYO CALENDAR, right after YASORA's defeat over there, which is the year 2019 by the GREGORIAN CALENDAR. The PARTY AT THE HAKUREI SHRINE, involving TEENAGE MASHA and a friendship between UTSUHO and YASORA, takes place in the year 150 GC (2034 CE), exactly 30 years after the events of PHANTASMAGORIA OF FLOWER VIEW. This is an extremely accurate and realistic CREATE.SWF depiction of my REAL-WORLD APPEARANCE.

Any other questions? No? Good.

> [Ending] Yasora: Take the reigns.

YASORA cannot take the REIGNS, or indeed even the REINS, because she is too busy being UTSUHO.

Now that the PARTY is over, you're surprised at how well everything went, and in particular, how well YUKARI took your little OUTBURST. You also doubt that SATORI will be able to stop giggling long enough to punish you, either.

YASORA has gone DORMANT again, "sleeping" through the rest of the afternoon. In a roundabout way, this reminds you that CIRNO skipped the party, saying she wanted to go off and think about things, in particular her recent BRUSHES WITH DEATH. This is vaguely worrying both you and DAIYOUSEI, who suspects that whatever's happening is more than just her growing INTELLIGENCE and AWARENESS OF DEATH, if nothing else because DAIYOUSEI doesn't die when she's killed, but neither of you have drawn any solid conclusions.

Oh well, all the TOUHOU stories MUFFIN creates are connected somehow. We'll probably find out sooner or later.

> [Ending] Masha: Sell toadstools to Suwako.

You consider it, but nah. Speaking of which, you're still not sure why HUMANS make such a big deal about GODS, but SUWAKO MORIYA, the FROG GODDESS OF EARTH, is pretty cool to be around.

You're rather pleased with this new hairstyle you got with the help of ALICE and REIMU (along with a HAIR-GROWTH SPELL commonly used by certain YOUKAI). You think you'll keep it.

Still a nice day, regardless. You can just kick back and relax in your GROVE until the end of the day.

> [Ending] Doll: Speak.

> [Ending] ==>

> [Ending] [S] Marisa: Reunite Unite with your loving wife and daughter.

[AUDIO]

> [Ending] Aya: Compose scoop.

> [Ending] ==>

> [Ending] ==>

Anyway, enough of that.

> [Ending] Marisa, Alice, and Shanghai: Pose as a family, because shit just got real.

THE END

> [S] Roll credits.

[AUDIO]




I'll also have an "afterword" written up in ... a bit.

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Zengar: Clap slowly.
