Meira Quest (Part 3)
« on: October 17, 2011, 08:04:57 PM »
> You are Sonozaki Meira, currently eight years old.  You were born in the village of Mayohiga in the year 102, and have lived here for the entirety of your short life without ever leaving.  Well, until now.  The year is currently 110.
> Mayohiga was a small village within the secluded mountains of Gensokyo, parallel to Youkai Mountain, legendary for being filled with youkai.  The village of Mayohiga itself was a quiet and peaceful, albeit sparsely populated.  It was Sonozaki clan's duty to defend Mayohiga against youkai, which sometimes come into the village to spirit away or eat humans.  You are a part of the Sonozaki clan, and most likely the only one left alive.
> Two days ago, you found a conical hat in the forest where you frequently played with your cousins.
> Yesterday was the first day of summer, and you went back into the forest with the hat.  While playing there, you discovered the original owner of the hat, a tanuki girl named Kouyoshi who was masquerading as your eldest cousin Sayane.  Upon returning home from the forest, you found that the village was in ruins, on fire, and inhabited by monstrous youkai.  Aided by Kouyoshi, you were able to get a katana from your house and flee from the village, but not before discovering that the blame lies in the hands of a kitsune, a rare and powerful youkai.  You have resolved to get revenge, but there is the issue of finding somewhere to stay and learning how to fight, first.
> You have travelled with Kouyoshi through the Forest of Magic and met the youkai Rumia.  You have travelled with her and Kouyoshi to the Human Village.  You have befriended Rumia.  You have come across two youkai, one of which knows of someone who may know a thing or two about the kitsune, and you have decided to go looking for them.  You have found yourselves caught up in a rabbit stampede, which you have joined in a return to the Bamboo Forest to stop Mokou from hurting the Rabbit Princess and found a huge inferno, which you, the rabbits, and Kouyoshi made short work of putting out.  You then discovered a seriously injured Mokou and the Rabbit Princess, who denies being a rabbit.  You've started taking lessons from Mokou in using magic.  You've gone into the Forest of Magic and sliced up some flying eyeballs that shot danmaku at you.  You've employed the help of some faeries in finding the girl with the monster, and have learned of two possible locations: a shrine, and a "chapel" that's a day away from the Human Village.  Upon going to the shrine, you discovered that it was completely abandoned, but Kouyoshi found a photo of a shrine maiden, as well as some shrine maiden uniforms laying around.  With the help of one of the faeries, you've gotten a "map" showing where the chapel is.  You have been preparing for it since, gathering materials.  You have also gotten Keine to make you a new outfit, and have helped Mokou clean her filthy kitchen.
> You're currently in Keine's study, where she is writing about kappa.

  > An accumulation of allowance money from the past three weeks.
> Conical hat (equipped)

> Keine raises an eyebrow.  "Well, they're on both sides, although you'd have to go through a forest on the mountain itself to get to the majority of them..."  She trails off.
> You check the map.  While you'll have to go past Youkai Mountain, it seems to be more off to the right of where the chapel is marked...it shouldn't take that long to get past it.
> You then go to wrap the rice balls up, only to realize you've made too many of them.  To lessen the load, you give one to Keine.
> "For me?"  Keine takes the rice ball.  "Oh, thanks."

> Keine dips the quill in the ink well and continues writing.
> "That's the spirit.  There are a few curse gods lurking in the forests on Youkai Mountain, and even higher up are tengu, but I don't think you'll run into them.  Those two and kappa make up the majority of the youkai that live on that mountain.  Other than that are your run-of-the-mill youkai."
