Face, meet fist. This is Akyu Quest!

[theshirn]

> Release the fairy, let her know the cost of future altercations
> Contemplate danmaku possibilities

[Fightest]

> The fairy flexes her sore arms, bows deeply, and zips out the window with a shouted "Thank you!".
> You are inept at danmaku, let alone Spell Cards. You know a lot about magic, but it would take years of practice to properly control it. However, skilled humans have managed to perform amazing stunts that border on the magical with focus and discipline. A well-controlled, focused strike has been known to even shatter a Spell Card outright.

[theshirn]

> Consider sources of emergency instruction in "well-controlled, focused strikes"

[Fightest]

> Your family's records won't have the details necessary to really learn such techniques, but you do know that they require advanced knowledge of near-mystic martial arts. You would have to find either a living practitioner who would be good enough to know them, or someone with access to more specialised historic records.
> Your memory does not fail you on these accounts: the gatekeeper at the mansion on the lake is a martial artist well-known in the youkai community, and this village's own Keine Kamishirasawa is a genius historian who has helped you fill out your records on many occasions.

[Hello Purvis]

>Consider a good beat-ass stick in the meantime.

[Fightest]

> You are currently equipped with Brass Knuckles. Weaponry more complicated than these or other improvised weapons, like bits of wood or metal fashioned into clubs, is just beyond you at the moment.


[edit] (Signing off for the night)

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Consider the odds of Keine attacking us, due to the tournament.
> Rest up a bit more, then exit our home.

[Fightest]

> You've always been on good terms with Keine, and she's always been a gentle soul. It's hard to imagine her attacking you without provocation.
> You exit your house.
> The human village is quiet. Doors are shut and windows boarded up. Down the street you can see the school building has a new hole in its roof, as well as a few broken windows and a fairy-shaped hole in one of its walls.
> The day is heading towards evening, and the setting sun shines down a single human shape, striding slowly into the village. They seem to spot you, and a voice rings out:
> "I hear you've been beating up my subordinates, little girl of the Hieda clan."
> The figure strides closer, and you can finally make her out. A tall fairy, her normally free-flowing blue dress now tightly cinched around her waist with a thick leather belt, in jeans and tall leather boots. A yellow bandanna adorns her forehead.
> "You'll be taking that beating back now."
> She adopts a stance.

[Hello Purvis]

>"May I reschedule that, please?" Said with perfect sincerity.
>Contemplate getting her to charge, then tripping her or grabbing her and directing that force into tossing her into a wall or summat.

[Mr_Bob]

>Contemplate getting her to charge, then tripping her or grabbing her and directing that force into tossing her into a wall or summat.

>If any of that is out of our fighting abilities, consider the age-old "Wait until the last second, then curl up into a ball" trip against a charging opponent.
 May require a tactical retreat to provoke opponent.

[Fightest]

>"May I reschedule that, please?" Said with perfect sincerity.
>Contemplate getting her to charge, then tripping her or grabbing her and directing that force into tossing her into a wall or summat.

> "No, better to get things done right now, you know? Gets 'em out of the way."
> It's somewhat more complicated than flailing your fists at whatever's in front of you. You reckon you could figure it out after a few tries, though the fairy is not likely to help you.
> "Take your stance, little girl, don't draw this out longer than it needs to be."

>If any of that is out of our fighting abilities, consider the age-old "Wait until the last second, then curl up into a ball" trip against a charging opponent.
 May require a tactical retreat to provoke opponent.

> This is feasible at your current skill level.

[Hello Purvis]

>"An important question before we begin, how fast are you?"
>If she answers, let her say about three words, then dash toward the school. Or fly if that's possible and faster.

[Fightest]

> "Fast enough to- hey!"
> You beat feet towards the school. Flying is decidedly magical, and you've got none of that.
> You get about halfway there before you are roughly grabbed by the back of the neck and knocked off your feet, still being carried forward.
> You hear a voice just over your left ear. "Here, let me help you with that!"
> You feel a sudden burst of acceleration, and you are flung bodily towards the fairy-sized hole in the school wall. You crash through, barely nicking the sides of the hole, and skid along the classroom's floor, knocking away desks and chairs.
> That could have hurt a lot more than it did, but your sides ache nonetheless.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Keine! Help!"

[Fightest]

> Your cry echoes around the empty classroom. You hear no response. In fact, the small school building seems completely deserted. You notice Keine's curvy writing on the chalkboard:
> School is canceled until further notice. Ms. Kamishirasawa has very important business to attend to.
> P.S. Your homework is a four-hundred word essay on the benefits of crop rotation, to be presented when I get back. Or else!
> A little heart is drawn beneath the "Or else!"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh bother."
>Is there a back door? If so, make for it.
>If there isn't, grab a chair and move to smash it over our assailant's head when she enters.

[Fightest]

> The school building isn't very big, just one classroom and a few other smaller rooms, connected by one long corridor. The back door leads into the makeshift playground that was built quite recently.
> The fairy must have lost sight of you.
> "No use hiding, I'll find you eventually. You're just putting off the inevitable," she calls out.

[Hello Purvis]

>Resist the urge to mutter, "Until you get bored, anyways."
>Is the playground fenced in, to our recollection?

[Fightest]

> Yes it is, to keep a semblance of order, as well as keeping out land-based pests. Doesn't do much against fairies, but they're too afraid of Keine's pinpoint chalk throws.
> "I don't have anything else to do today, you know! And I'm aching for a fight."

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Does the fairy have a weapon of any sort, or is she un-armed?

[Fightest]

> She looked unarmed, though with the strength she had behind that throw, it might not matter much.

[Demonbman]

>Is there anything we can climb to get on the roof of the school?

[Fightest]

> There is a lean-to that you might be able to climb up the side of. You would be putting yourself at a severe disadvantage that way, as the fairy can most likely fly, and you're not a very quick climber.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Silently be ready to start punching, kicking and flailing.
> Consider coming out of hiding and starting the beat-down. Let the other posters/voices decide on this before doing so though.

[Hello Purvis]

>What's the chance we can jump the fence, and the possibility of using playground equipment to do this?

[Fightest]

> Silently be ready to start punching, kicking and flailing.
> Consider coming out of hiding and starting the beat-down. Let the other posters/voices decide on this before doing so though.

> Your heart is beating hard. Adrenaline is surging through your body, and you feel the rush of energy that it brings.

>What's the chance we can jump the fence, and the possibility of using playground equipment to do this?

> It brings you into open ground where the fairy can spot you easily, but it's doable with innovative use of the slide.

[Hello Purvis]

>Can we tell where the faerie is, roughly? That is, do we know she's in the air, or standing where she can see the playground easily?

[Fightest]

> "Come out, little Hieda girl! Don't make me have to smoke you out!"
> Her voice came from up above, probably from the roof. If she's there, she's got a good view of the whole area surrounding the building.

[Hello Purvis]

>Welp. Time for Plan Chair.
>Sigh.
>Grab a chair.
>Take position near the hole, at the side.
>"Sounds like you'd have enough smoke coming through your ears just trying to figure out where I am. Not there's much to give off smoke to start with!"
>If she comes through the hole like we hope, introduce the chair to her face. Hopefully the impact will be enough to KO her. If not, keep giving her the chair til it breaks or she gives up.
>Should she not come in through the hole, take solace in getting in a totally slick burn before taking a beating.

[Fightest]

> The fairy's voice rings out from up above. "Oh, that's it, I was gonna go easy on you, but you'll be lucky if you have any teeth to count after I'm done with you!"
> You hear a soft thup as the fairy lands outside, then her footsteps getting quickly closer as she sprints towards the hole through which you came. A few metres away from the hole the sound of her footsteps disappears, and, a split-second later, she comes spinning feet-first through the hole.
> In almost slow-motion you see the look of surprise on her face as she sails past you, and you swing the chair with all your might.
> The hit connects, and the fairy goes crashing into the rear wall of the classroom, having lost control of her landing, sending desks and chairs flying in her wake.
> After a moment of silence, she starts pulling herself back up, bleeding from the scalp, and nursing her left arm.
> "Ain't nothing but a scratch. You're gonna get far worse."
