Kirisame Quest - An Ordinary Day in an Ordinary Magician's Life

[Tashi]

>"Hey Alice I found Hourai!

> She's already aware of that. Therefore, no need to repeat it. The rest is okay.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Look at Hourai. How she's reacting?
> Look back at Alice. What kind of doll she's sewing, if different?

>Hourai seems uninterested in what Alice is doing, though you do notice her glance at Shanghai briefly.
>It seems to be a standard combat doll

>"Hey Alice I found Hourai! Er, what are you making? Is it a new doll?"

> She's already aware of that. Therefore, no need to repeat it. The rest is okay.

>"No, I'm just repairing a few of my combat dolls to pass the time." Alice replies.
>_

[Tashi]

> "Did you fought someone recently or what?"
> What is Shanghai doing?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "Did you fought someone recently or what?"
> What is Shanghai doing?

> "The last person I battled with was with you last night. These dolls were from a previous battle."
>Shanghai is floating there happily.
>_

[SerB18]

>What did we do to Alice last night other than her experiment?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>What did we do to Alice last night other than her experiment?

>Nothing. The battle Alice is describing is referring to said experiment.
>_

[Hope ♦ Metal]

>"What happened that other time?"

[Tashi]

> What have happened recently with Reimu.
> Recall events of previous battle.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"What happened that other time?"

>"Ah, you know, usual things. Was flying, some fairies attacked me. Some dolls received minor damage."

> What have happened recently with Reimu.
> Recall events of previous battle.

>Not much. Reimu is in her between incident "boredom phase" as you would describe it. And she still hasn't been receiving any donations, as usual...
>With Alice or with Reimu?
>_

[SerB18]

>Both.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Both.

>With Alice, which occurred last night, she mostly sat back and commanded her Goliath Doll Mk. II it was pretty strong, capable of shrugging off a Master Spark to the face. However, it did eventually explode mid-battle for no reason.

>The last time you battled Reimu was over a month ago, and it was just a casual duel out of boredom. Reimu won.
>_

[Tashi]

> Bah. Screw that red-white. We'll kick her ass later... For sure! AND we will win!
> Did we brought our broom?
> Where are the mushrooms?
> "Was that ice fairy on their group? Or maybe her friend?"
> Actually, recall any 'recent' battle we had that doesn't involve Alice nor Reimu.
> Particularly, recall the last battle we had with Cirno.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Bah. Screw that red-white. We'll kick her ass later... For sure! AND we will win!

>You resolve to get back at Reimu. Someday...

> Did we brought our broom?

>You blanch a bit. You totally forgot it at home! Good thing you don't need to fly anywhere any time soon, right?

> Where are the mushrooms?

>In your pockets.

> "Was that ice fairy on their group? Or maybe her friend?"

> Alice shakes her head.

> Actually, recall any 'recent' battle we had that doesn't involve Alice nor Reimu.
> Particularly, recall the last battle we had with Cirno.

>The most recent "battle" you've had that wasn't a common fairy encounter would be when Patchouli tried to stop you from borrowing her books last week. Though you were making your getaway at the time and she was having one of her "bad days"...
>You have not had any battles with Cirno within the last few months.

>Gee, things have been boring around here recently, battle wise, now that you think about it...
>_

[Tashi]

> Definition of Patchouli's 'bad days'... I-It can't be THOSE days, right...?
> Did we visited the SDM after that even?
> WHAT?! Cirno not wanting to fight us in months?! What kind of sorcery is this?!
> Reassess munney.
> "Annoying."
> Drop next to Alice on the couch she's sitting on. If she isn't sitting on such, or if it isn't any space for us to sit on, then drop on the nearest couch.
> How interested have we been/are we to learn other kinds of magics?

[SerB18]

>Turn to Alice.
>"Say Alice how did you turn your dolls into ya know magical moving ones? Could you teach me how to be as good in foll magic as you?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Definition of Patchouli's 'bad days'... I-It can't be THOSE days, right...?

> The days where her ill health gets the better of her and she has an asthma attack 30 seconds into the battle.

> Did we visited the SDM after that even?

>Nope. But you are due for your weekly visit.

> WHAT?! Cirno not wanting to fight us in months?! What kind of sorcery is this?!

> You wonder why she hasn't approached you in so long... S-She couldn't have found someone stronger than you to challenge, could she?

> Reassess munney.

>You have ?1500

> "Annoying."
> Drop next to Alice on the couch she's sitting on. If she isn't sitting on such, or if it isn't any space for us to sit on, then drop on the nearest couch.

>You flop on the nearest couch. Hourai hovers in a corner, leaning against the wall.

> How interested have we been/are we to learn other kinds of magics?

>Please elaborate.

>Turn to Alice.
>"Say Alice how did you turn your dolls into ya know magical moving ones? Could you teach me how to be as good in foll magic as you?"

>"It's not that hard once you get the hang of it. And, sure, I could teach you later if that's what you want. Though be warned, you will have to sit a while and pay attention..."
>_

[SerB18]

>Roll eyes
>"Aww, well that sucks. I just wanna see things explode!

[AzyWng]

> Where's Hourai?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Roll eyes
>"Aww, well that sucks. I just wanna see things explode!

>Alice frowns. "My dolls don't explode all the time, you know..."

>"Says the one who stuffs them with gunpowder..." Hourai comments, making Alice frown even more.

> Where's Hourai?

>in the corner of the wall opposite of you,  leaning against it while hovering in midair.
>_

[Tashi]

> "I always wondered 'bout that... Why you do that? I mean, I know it's to surprise enemies... but for what else? That's a strategy that can get old too quickly, ya' know."

[SerB18]

>How do you make them explode? Did you convert them to Islam?
>Whoops that was inappropriate!
>"Ha, Nice one Hourai!

[AzyWng]

> "Then there's the problem of using up your own troops early..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "I always wondered 'bout that... Why you do that? I mean, I know it's to surprise enemies... but for what else? That's a strategy that can get old too quickly, ya' know."

> "Then there's the problem of using up your own troops early..."

>"I could go into full detail of how the magic that keeps them automated interacts with the gunpowder, but that will take a long time to explain and will probably bore you to death..." Alice explains.

>How do you make them explode? Did you convert them to Islam?
>Whoops that was inappropriate!
>"Ha, Nice one Hourai!

>Alice gives you a look
>Hourai simply rolls her eyes, "You wanted me down here for something, right? Is that going to be addressed any time soon, or can I go back upstairs?"
>_

[SerB18]

>"Oh right almost forgot. Alice I think you should yalk to Hourai about her odd habits."

[meow56]

>Alice already knows that Hourai hangs herself and she knows that it's a problem. We don't need to tell her about them.

[Tashi]

> "Well, we should talk about solutions..."

[AzyWng]

> "Something else you can do to help you relax. Reading or knitting, for instance."
> "Probavly no hats, though. Koishi dropped by earlier to let us know what she thought about that sort of thing..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh right almost forgot. Alice I think you should yalk to Hourai about her odd habits."

>Alice already knows that Hourai hangs herself and she knows that it's a problem. We don't need to tell her about them.

> "Well, we should talk about solutions..."

>"Solutions?" Hourai frowns.

> "Something else you can do to help you relax. Reading or knitting, for instance."
> "Probavly no hats, though. Koishi dropped by earlier to let us know what she thought about that sort of thing..."

>"Mister Hat is mine..." you hear Koishi's voice behind you
>"Yes, Hourai..." Alice adds, "I know you do it to relax, but... this self hanging habit isn't healthy... Shanghai and I worry for you, you know."
>_{^{"Yeah that's a lie..."}} Hourai murmurs to herself, a scowl forming on her face, "Okay, so let me get this straight, you want me to give up the one thing that makes me feel at ease, just so you and the mute goody-two-shoes over there can feel better? That's how it is?"
>"Hourai, it isn't like that..."
>_

[SerB18]

>"Come to think of it you sure are one talkative doll."
>Turn to Alice.
>"How come only Hourai is the one capable of talking so much?"
>"No need to be too upset Hourai for today is the greatest day in Gensokyo, ⑨ day!"
>[Partying Intensifies]

[AzyWng]

> "Like I said, maybe we could look into trying something else, like writing or painting..."
