Sanae Quest
« on: April 08, 2011, 09:32:06 PM »
> You are the wind priestess of miracles, Kochiya Sanae!
> Originally from the Outside World, you moved to Gensokyo in the autumn of 122 with your goddesses Yasaka Kanako and Moriya Suwako.  After Hakurei Reimu beat all three of you up, you started traversing Youkai Mountain to gather faith and became bros with some of the tengu and kappa.  Over the past few years, you established yourself as an incident solver.  You've been called naive and a bit enthusiastic, but well-meaning.
> About a month has passed since the last incident you've been caught up in, and it has recently become the year 126.  It's early in the year, about mid to late winter, and you have just finished helping out at the shrine during New Year's.  You have a lot of free time now, so you and Tatara Kogasa have decided to go sight-seeing in the Underground for a week.  Thanks to your connections, you've gotten a room at an inn with little problems.  The fact that yen has started cycling through Gensokyo as a universal currency helped, too.
> You have been here in the Ancient City now for one day.  It's your second day in the Underground, now, and when you looked out the window of the inn this morning, you saw ghosts.  They're everywhere.  They're all over the city like someone dumped a bag of marshmellows over it, and to make matters worse, you see some weird floating skull things having a go at them.  Those were evil spirits, right?

> You are currently in your room at the inn.  Kogasa has gone out to try and surprise people.  Your incident senses are tingling so badly.

Sanae, huh? Not quite the top of my wanted list (that'd be Satori and Nue), but still pretty high up there. This should be enjoyable.

Also, I believe there's still at least one traditional opening command remaining:

>Check chest for usual growths.

> Inventory

> Relations with people
> Get dressed and get out there and solve some incidents!
> Oh, and make sure our inn room is still reserved.

> Inventory:

> Shrine maiden clothes (currently equipped)
> Frog hairpin (currently equipped)
  > A hairpin with the blessings of Moriya Suwako.
> Snake charm (currently equipped)
  > A charm with the blessings of Yasaka Kanako.
> Gohei
  > Youkai-beating miko stick that looks like a spatula.
> ?5000
> Photo of you and Nue
  > You keep this in your shirt as a keepsake of the UFO incident.

> Skills: Miracles

> Light as a Feather
  > You are abnormally light.  The slightest gust of wind can send you flying.
> Miracle Fruit
  > You can make miracle fruit grow instantly on any plant or tree, even if it's dead.
> Running like Amaterasu
  > Grass and other small plants will sometimes appear around you when you walk or run around.  Unfortunately, this makes you easy to track down.

> Spellcards:

> Estorica "Gray Thaumaturgy"
> Wonder "Daytime Guest Stars"
> Sea Opening "Moses's Miracle"
> Great Miracle "Yasaka's Divine Wind"
> Miracle "Miracle Fruit"

> Relations:

> Yasaka Kanako
  > One of your goddesses.  She is like a mother to you, and you go to her in situations you have no way of overcoming on your own.  She's taking care of the shrine right now.
> Moriya Suwako
  > Another one of your goddesses, as well as your ancestor.  She is also like a mother to you despite looking like a 10-year old (although to be fair, she took on a more adult appearance during your childhood), and she provides very good addvice.  She's hibernating right now.
> Tatara Kogasa
  > Your girlfriend.  You've known her since the UFO incident, and as of last month have been in a relationship.  She seemed immature at first glance, but is actually very trustworthy and kind.
> Shameimaru Aya
  > One of your tengu buddies.  You get along well enough that she doesn't try to get panty shots of you for blackmail.
> Inubashiri Momiji
  > You know her through Aya.
> Houjuu Nue
  > She has to be an alien.  So fascinating, but she doesn't seem to you like you very much.
> Reiuji Utsuho
  > She shows up at your house every once in a blue moon for food or something.  A force to be reckoned with.
> Komeiji Koishi
  > She shows up at your house a lot.  You suspect she'll start visiting at regular (or irregular) intervals again once spring comes.
> Hakurei Reimu
  > Fellow shrine maiden, incident solver, and good friend.  Even though she beat you up before, she invited you for tea afterwards, introducing you to that cultural aspect of Gensokyo.
> Kirisame Marisa
  > Fellow incident solver and friend.
> Izayoi Sakuya
  > Another friend and a retired badass MAID!  She gave you a lot of pointers on incident solving, and even reviewed some of your spellcards for you.  You could say she's kind of your senior in incident solving.
> Konngara
  > An oni that kidnapped you last month.  She's a complete mystery; you sometimes honestly have no idea what goes on in her head.  Lately, she's been acting really strange around you.

> Oh, crap, before we forget, write a message for Kogasa and put in on the table in our room.
>> "Dear Kogasa, went solving incident. : D Be back soon~ ♥"

> Reminisce about previous incident.

>Have we dealt with this skull thingers before?

>"PS: Make sure we have clean sheets ; )"

> You've never really dealt with those things before, but they're normally exclusive to the Palace of the Earth Spirits and No Man's Land.
> Right before you head out, you leave a note for Kogasa, letting her know where you'll be.  You also add a note asking her to make sure there are clean sheets.  Heee.
> You reminisce about the last incident that happened.  The sky was blacked out by a fake moon that ruined everything, you were kidnapped, and in the end you found out that the whole thing was caused by some goddess's cosmic temper tantrum.  Hopefully this year will be better.
> Alright incident-solving time oh wait is the room still reserved?
> As you head through the inn's lobby, you check to make sure the room is still reserved.
> You head out into the streets of the Ancient City.  You are in the east district right now, which is Konngara's turf.  There are drunken oni in the streets as usual, and they don't seem to pay the ghosts much mind, even when they've made the temperature drop a few degrees.  The ghosts in question are hovering around about six feet off the ground and higher.

>Check chest for usual growths.

> Average.  You're pretty sure you're done growing in that regard.

> Reimu visited your shrine last week to make sure you knew she was alive.  Marisa also came to the mountain at one point to go ice fishing, although you haven't heard from Sakuya at all.  Reimu said she was going to take care of that.
> You talked to her yesterday.  You are sort of friends with her, and you've mostly gotten over the kidnapping, but...you have a gut feeling that there's more than that.
> You hover to one of the ghosts and poke it.  Your gohei goes right through it, but you feel a cold chill go through you.

>Assuming the ghost doesn't bite us, say, "Alright you, what's going on here, huh?"
>Hands on hips for emphasized seriousness!

> Thankfully, the ghost doesn't bite you!  You decide to interrogate it, putting your hands on your hips to show you mean business.
> The ghost does a few backflips, as if trying to communicate.

> Aw, no way...
> The ghost moves from side to side.
> You suggest charades.  The ghost circles around you for a few moments.  It then floats back in front of you and feigns jumping from a great height.

>Ask the spirit what it thinks of giant robots

> You ask the ghost what it thinks of giant robots.
> It...doesn't seem to react to that at all.

> You think back a bit.  You think she keeps it somewhere in some uninhabited mountains on the surface somewhere.

> The ghost shakes from side to side.
> You look at the lingering ghosts and ask if they're also from the surface.  They all wiggle up in down in imitation of the ghost you're trying to communicate with.  There are so many of them in this area alone, you wonder how many of them could possibly be in the rest of the city.

>"And are you here because there's something going on right now?"
>If yes: "Is it a bad thing?"

> The ghosts wiggles up and down again.
> When you ask if it's something bad, it shakes from side to side.  Some ghosts around it tilt themselves from side to side, as if shrugging.
> If it's not something bad, then what is it?
