Reimu Quest (Part 5)

[Hello Purvis]

>Head toward that shuffling.

[日巫子]

>Head toward that shuffling.

> You leave the kitchen and go into the other room.
> There's not much to look at in here, except for a low table at the center of the room.  There's a door on the left wall that's rattling.
> Your ears start to ring, and your stomach flips upside down.

> _

[Sect]

> This better not be any Sanae's stupid "Kayako" bullcrap!

(ignore that one if there's no reason for Sanae to show Reimu "Ju-On")

> Swallow up our nausea and kick that door open with ofuda ready!

[日巫子]

> Swallow up our nausea and kick that door open with ofuda ready!

> It doesn't look like you'll be needing to kick down the door.  Just as your steeling your nerves, the door abruptly slides open.  A lone woman stands in the doorway with a room of pitch black behind her.  Her bronze hair, her clothes, the wings on her head, you recognize them all.  It's her.
> She stares at you with what looks more like a pair of lights than eyes.

[Hello Purvis]

>"So, I hear you're the person to ask about them shard that keep showing up."

[日巫子]

>"So, I hear you're the person to ask about them shard that keep showing up."

> She doesn't say anything.

> _

[Sect]

> Grip our gohei tightly, and keep our eyes on Kikuri as we look for a light source.

[日巫子]

> Grip our gohei tightly, and keep our eyes on Kikuri as we look for a light source.

> You hold onto your gohei like a lifeline, and start feeling up the walls.  You can't find a light switch.
> Kikuri steps forward into the room.

> _

[Sect]

> Don't blast her JUST yet. "Hey. Hold up there."
> Pull out a shard and hold it at her.

[日巫子]

> Don't blast her JUST yet. "Hey. Hold up there."
> Pull out a shard and hold it at her.

> As you fight back the urge to start shooting, she starts walking towards you.  Even when you hold up the shard, she doesn't react to it.

> _

[Sect]

I'm assuming you mean "she doesn't react to it".

> We warned her. Advance and poke her in the head with the rounded portion of the shard. If she tries grabbing us or lasering us, she gets a gohei to the head.

[日巫子]

> We warned her. Advance and poke her in the head with the rounded portion of the shard. If she tries grabbing us or lasering us, she gets a gohei to the head.

> You meet up with her halfway and poke her with the shard.  She ignores this and reaches her arms out.  You react with by smacking her in the head with your gohei.  She flinches, but her hands are already around your neck.

[Sect]

> Yeah. NO. Grab her arms and swing her into a wall to make her loosen her grip!

[Hello Purvis]

> Yeah. NO. Grab her arms and swing her into a wall to make her loosen her grip!

>Don't do this yet.

>Bring our arms up between hers, and separate them forcefully.
>At the same time, bring a knee up to her groin with maximum force. No one likes a knee to the gravity center!
>then do the swing thing if she persists.

[日巫子]

> Yeah. NO. Grab her arms and swing her into a wall to make her loosen her grip!

>Don't do this yet.

>Bring our arms up between hers, and separate them forcefully.
>At the same time, bring a knee up to her groin with maximum force. No one likes a knee to the gravity center!
>then do the swing thing if she persists.

> No, nooo.
> As she starts to tighten her grip around your neck, you try separating her arms.  They only move a little bit.  However, kneeing her seems to have more of an effect.  She stumbles, but sends you off balance as well; she still hasn't let go of your neck.  In retaliation, you swing and slam her into the wall.
> You've clearly hurt her, but her grip around your neck has only tightened.  When she hits the wall, she immediately starts to push you back.

> _

[Sect]

> Gurk. Let's, uh, use that to our advantage. When she pushes us, let her, then fall onto our back and use the momentum and our foot against her gut to flip her over our head.

[日巫子]

> Gurk. Let's, uh, use that to our advantage. When she pushes us, let her, then fall onto our back and use the momentum and our foot against her gut to flip her over our head.

> As you start to choke a little, the cogs in your brain start churning furiously.  You let yourself fall back, and she pins you down and continues to squeeze your neck.  However, she is unprepared when you kick her in the gut and send her tumbling over you.  By some miracle, she does not let go of you, and you go flailing until you're the one pinning her down this time.  However, you're feeling yourself starting to run out of air.

[Hello Purvis]

>Take Gohei in both hands, slam the butt of it right into her jaw with a nice sweeping motion.
>Then follow up with similar blow to one of her elbows.

[日巫子]

>Take Gohei in both hands, slam the butt of it right into her jaw with a nice sweeping motion.
>Then follow up with similar blow to one of her elbows.

> Using your gohei, you slam into her jaw and then her elbow.  She cries out in pain but all this does is make her dig her fingernails into your skin.  However, you've injured her enough that she isn't trying to get out from underneath you.

> _

[Sect]

> Straighten up so her arms lock out, then her elbow as hard as we can. If she wants a broken elbow, she's getting one! Assuming we don't pass out, that is.

Jeez, Himiko's quests are so brutal.

[日巫子]

> Straighten up so her arms lock out, then her elbow as hard as we can. If she wants a broken elbow, she's getting one! Assuming we don't pass out, that is.

> You think you can keep going for a little while longer.  You elbow her with your full strength, but you might as well have used a wet noodle to hit her.  The ringing sound is starting up again, drowning out all other sound...but almost.  You think you hear something else.

> _

[Sect]

> Oh sod this. Release the kraken yin yang orb.

[日巫子]

> Oh sod this. Release the kraken yin yang orb.

> You're running out of strength, but you have enough energy to release the yin yang orb.  It smashes into Kikuri's face before taking off every which way.  You hear it crashing into the walls and floor, and occasionally comes back to hit Kikuri again.
> The ringing grows louder.  It's getting hard to breath.  Through your choked breaths you hear the sound of a door opening.

> _

[Sect]

> Roll over and put Kikuri on top so the orb can whack her more easily.

[日巫子]

> Roll over and put Kikuri on top so the orb can whack her more easily.

> You try to roll over, in order to put Kikuri in the orb's line of fire, but it's so hard.  As you're struggling, you see the orb hit her again.  She grits her teeth and squeezes your neck even harder.
> "--stop--"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Does this voice seem to come from anywhere?

[日巫子]

>Does this voice seem to come from anywhere?

> There's too much ringing for you to tell.  It's like your head is full of static.
> "--Reimu--"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Think: Can't!
>Then sink our teeth right into her arm, as close to the wrist as we can get. Then grind our teeth back and forth.

[日巫子]

>Think: Can't!
>Then sink our teeth right into her arm, as close to the wrist as we can get. Then grind our teeth back and forth.

> You can't stop, not now.  You bite down on Kikuri's wrist, as hard as you can, and taste blood. 
> Then you start to see stars.  You can't breathe anymore.  You couldn't even roll over all the way.  A pair of arms grabs you from behind and pulls you away from the floor.
