> look away from the "kyaa", but summon up a BIG gust of wind to try and nock them down.
>Don't do this, our laundry would be lost to the winds. And some darned faerie or possibly Hina would steal our undergarments.
>Investigate!
> "Kogasa?"
>Do we know who set up the net?
>Nab that umbrella.
>"Kogasa, is this your net?"
>Rest the umbrella on our shoulder, and let it provide some shade.
"The net?"
> "Well since you're still up there, I'd say it was made pretty well at the very least. Is it yours?"
"Who were you hoping to get?" fly up so we can talk face to face.
What do we think of the umbrella yokai? Are we dating anyone? Would our resident gods be angry if we were?
"Want some help down?"
>Give the umbrella a spin as we ask.
But try not to smirk. (maybe fail)
>"What's in it for me?"
>Twirl it just a bit more.
>"But Kogasa, I think that net suits you~! Maybe you should wear it as an accessory from here on~!"
>Can't be trapped by common sense afterall, we're too hammy for that.
>"But if you want out, then...bring in my laundry when it gets done."
>Heh heh heh. Way to shirk!
>"Deal!"
>Have a look at the net. How is it attached to the tree?
>Fly up, and have a look at it. Do we think we could undo the knot?
>"So how do I open this, anyways?"
>"Uh.... I hadn't thought that far ahead."
>"Oh. Well, I hope you like it here!"
>Check where the rope meets the net, and see if we can disconnect it from there.
>"Can you fly?"
>"I mean right now! If you lift up your weight, we can probably get you out of this without cutting up your net."
>Cut the bottom out via whatever means we currently have at our disposal.
>Grin back.
>"My laundry girl!'
>Heroic grin. "Of course! That's just my- Oh wait, I think I'd get in trouble if I finished that last part."
>"Are you always this clumsy~?"
>Be sure to laugh enough to have her join in too.
If we're gonna chase after Kogasa, I recommend we play hard to get. We do have a reputation as a living goddess to maintain; and because it'll be hilarious.
>Float back toward the Shrine.
>"What surprised you?"
If we're gonna chase after Kogasa
Surely you mean "chase after Kogasa FIRST", right? *grin*
>"Clothes gotta get dry, you know?"
>"Well if you weren't so good at being sneaky, this wouldn't have happened."
>"Yep.">"I wouldn't have even found you if I hadn't heard your surprised shout~!"
>Kogasa beams. "I'll be more careful next time.">Set her down once we get out of the woods
>You fly along towards the shrine, Kogasa enjoying the ride, and you're hardly complaining either. But it's a short hop to the outskirts of the woods, Kogasa not having set her trap too deep in.
>Once you land, you lower your arms and Kogasa disembarks, accompanied by a *click* sound.
>Can we tell what the click is?
>What do we know about the local shutterbugs?
>"Hi Aya."
"Any head lines I should look forward too?"
>Wind attak! Blow her out into the open!
>"Uh....whoops."
>Assume grovelling position!
>"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
>Maintain grovelling position.
>"Understood, Suwako-sama."
>"But there's germs on them!"
>Take Kogasa's umbrella and use its tounge to like Suwako's shoes clean. Hey, she never said we had to use our own tounge, right?
>Then give Kogasa her umbrella back.
>Nab that tongue and employ it like a rag!
> Flail about wildly, becoming equally a danger to ourselves as to those around us.
>Where did a washbin come from?
>Glance around, is she anywhere to be seen?
> think 'Is it really that early?'...but don't say anything.
> How well does K-sama take being teased?
>Time to slink away!
>With Kanako-sama's attention (hopefully) focused on her more exuberant counterpart, you decide to take the opportunity to exercise the better part of valor, post haste!
>... at least up until you hear Kanako-sama's voice ring out, "Would you mind explaining this, young lady?" in that more-than-a-little-paternal voice she only ever uses on you.
> Wince, continue slinking, double-time!
Stop, we have nothing to explain!
"Explain, what Kanako-sama?"
Make sure we have a firm grip on the umbrella and its yokai.
>"Uhhhhh."
>"Errrrrr...yes. You did."
"I was flailing..not uhhh ummmm. You see Suwako.."
>Sidle away while she's looking at Suwako. Not too fast, don't want to catch her attention...
"She was talking..and making me clean her shoes. ..so I grabbed the umbrella's tongue, I mean its so big!"
To Kogasa if we can see her.
>Now we sidle off!
>Motion for her to follow, then slink off! We'll let the divinities hash this out.
>Slink back, grab her, and pull her with us.
>Quietly: "Okay you don't have to get the laundry anymore. But don't tell anyone I went easy on you, I have a reputation to keep..."
>"Yeah, well, she made me!"
>Try not to voice our indignity too loudly.
"And its such big tongue!"
>"Besides! We can just wash that taste away with tea, or maybe some sake! I'm sure there's some stashed somewhere in the shrine."
>Smile.
>"It isn't every day I invite you to have a drink, now is it?"
>"...Sure, let's do that too!"
>Thumbsup.
>"I'll handle it, but do we have cookies? Cookies are important!"
>"...Oh boy."
>We know that sonic boom anywhere don't we? It's gotta be Aya.
>"That...hang on Kanako-sama, that didn't sound like a Tengu, it had more heft to it! Like a jet, or maybe...A Super Robot!"
>We're really pushing it with this next line, but the ham, it calls to us!
>"And a Super Robot is perfect for Sanae Kochiya, HERO OF GENSOKYO!"
>Raise up hand, fingers spread, and dramatically clench a fist while declaring that.
"That sounded like a plane.."
Try to see what made it.
>"We need to catch that thing!"
>No time to wait, gotta get after it before those crafty Buddhists steal it!
>Head in that direction at once!
>"Let's go, Kogasa!"
>Go!
>Wave back.
>To the temple!
>Danmaku back. They're just fairies; that should be more than enough.
>Take this gang out. Do try not to overlook evasive actions.
>"Thanks!"
>Take the green-haired fairy out!
> Muse "you think Green hair is in fashion for sidekicks?"
> Muse "you think Green hair is in fashion for sidekicks?"
> We are nobody's sidekick!
>"Then we'll take her out, too."
>Onwards!
> Heroic Art ~ Dramatic Pose.
> "I hope you're hungry, because I am here to serve JUSTICE!"
>How many frognukes do we have onhand?
Sweet, even morer awesome bombs.
And we don't need to aim! That frees us to POSE!
Any good trees to pose on?
> Stand ourselves on a high outhanging branch in Gunbuster Stance.
> Click our fingers.
> Drop nuke.
> Turn around to stand with our back to the explosion.
>Grin toward Kogasa, then whirl at toward the voice.
>"I'm no cheater! You're supposed to be ready when you see your opponent!"
> "Not being ready for JUSTICE makes you all the more guilty!"
> Be sure to pointlike a boss. Look as if we could explode them in a heartbeat.
> Do we have more bombs in our arsenal?
> Are they in limited supply?
> Let's use a regular attack. Save the bombs for another time.
> Are we bound more by Touhou rules or Disgaea rules?
> I.e. do we have to engage in danmaku or can we just slug her in the face?
>"I can to start with one! You're just mad you didn't."
>Switch over to the snake-style shots and fire; they should be harder to evade.
> Snake-shots track, don't they?
> Make wide, sweeping dodges in unpredictable directions whilst firing recklessly. Make sure to dodge the obvious giant lasers or whatever she's charging up from those firewheels.
>If she's not dodging, change over to the more power powerful frog-shots, and let her have a face full of those!
>Don't neglect the dodging, though.
>Keep up the music! circle around behind her, if we can.
>Keep up the speed, too!! Disorient her!
Say loudly enough for her to hear "Well, she's not up to Crino, but that was fun."
>"Bye!"
>Continue toward that crash site!
Say loudly enough for her to hear "Well, she's not up to Crino, but that was fun."
>"Nah, she fits better in a Quirky Miniboss Squad."
>"Yep! But maybe she'll be a good Defender of Gensokyo in time."
> Advance.
>"Not if they know what's good for 'em!"
>Wave to the oncoming duo.
>"Hey!"
> "Are you here to taste some JUSTICE or just have a chat?"
>"Oh! DO you want to join my party?"
>"Don't know. Let's find out!"
>Onwards!
>"I could be convinced, if you were willing to make a proper donation to the Moriya Shrine, of course..."
>"I said the shrine, not me!"
>"Hey, I'm on the job here. If you want me to give interviews on the job, you're gonna have to help out the shrine."
>"Wait, you don't think keeping a shrine up and running and dealing with incidents is a job?"
>"It's your duty, isn't it?" Hatate asks.
>"That's what you've always said..." Kogasa adds. "'A true hero defends her home and her homeland. It's the right thing to do.'"
> "The right thing to do is to stop asking questions you have little understanding of and make with the donations. There is lots of JUSTICE to go around with too little time for semantics."
> Respond to any objections with a very judgmental stare.
Does this really need to happen? I've been thrown off more than one quest due to creepy waifu simulator requests. If that's what the rest of the thread wants, fine, I'll shut up, but for once I'd like to enjoy a story without the above.
> "The right thing to do is to stop asking questions you have little understanding of and make with the donations. There is lots of JUSTICE to go around with too little time for semantics."
> Respond to any objections with a very judgmental stare.
>"Oh crap, I was hoping it'd get me some extra credit back at the shrine...well, maybe you'll change your mind once we find it!"
>Onvards!
>"Maybe it was the legendary super saiyan!? This looks like their work!"
>"Yeah, this is definitely something else."
>Head toward the crash site and view it from above. Try not to get a face full of smoke.
>Quietly descend closer for a better look. Are they Starmen?
>Oh HELL yes!
>Fly in, land, push the man out of the way, and begin excitedly examining the robot.
>"Hey! Hey Robot! Can you talk!?"
>"Hey!"
>Give the guy a glare
>"Don't get the robot, you jerk! You're gonna make it go into Mother Brain mode!"
>We've played Chrono Trigger, right?
>"Are you okay, Miss Robot?"
>"...Can I hug you?"
>We've played Chrono Trigger, right?
>"I'm Sanae Kochiya, the living goddess of the Moriya Shrine, Mr Thursday! Can you use Uzi Punch? That was always so cool!"
>Oh wait, that guy's here, too...
>"Oh, hi. Um, you're not a robot too, are you?"
>"So you are a robot?"
>Look at the ship, now. How badly does it seem to be ruined?
>"I'm Sanae, Defender of Gensokyo! That's where you are now, by the way. Also, um, I came from Earth. And we didn't have robots or spaceships. Did the grays finally come and uplift us?!"
>"Really? Well, this is Gensokyo."
>Gesture out toward a nice landscape.
>"And I'm Sanae, the Defender of Gensokyo! But, I came from earth, originally, and it was only a few years ago tops, I think... And we didn't have robots or spaceships or anything."
>"Well... okay, technically. BUt the ships can barely reach the moon, and the robots are just automated arms that build cars and stuff."
>Wait. We came from one world to another. What if there's more than one world with an 'Earth'?
>"Actually, I think you're from a different Earth."
>"Couldn't be, I was a long ways off when you crashed. And, um, I don't think I came from any colony. I'm pretty sure I'm from The Earth, not a Earth. We've been there for thousands of years."
>"Also, get used to impossible things. They tend to happen frequently here."
>"Nope! The gods I'm the shrine maiden for-one of whom I'm descended from-moved the shrine here to get more faith."
>How DARE he doubt us!
>Fine, then, we'll just proove it!
>Summon a gust of wind to blow him into a nearby object. But not the robot. Don't want to hurt the robot.
>"See?"
>Glance at Hatate(And her flunky) and Kogasa with a suitably hammy smile. "That's what he gets for doubting me~!"
>Grin. "Bouncy, isn't he?"
>Le shocked! "I wonder if he's like that kid from the manga I used to read?! Y'know, the one with all the pirates!"
>"It was the power of a living god!"
>Pose.
>"Hey, Thursady, why do you always say 'blip' and 'beep'? I'd expect you to make the sounds, not say the words."
>Why would there be incoming retribution from Kanako?
>"Who's Jennifer? Did she build the robot?"
>Okay, we have GOT to meet this woman.
>"SHe builds robots? Where is she? I want to meet her?"
>"Wait, detonated?"
>"Yeah, um, maybe I should figure out how you got here. What happened?"
>"Wait, the Netherworld? How did you get to the-"
>Wait, paralell worlds. It's probably a different 'Netherworld'.
>"Um, you flew a spaceship to the Netherworld? Your Netherworld must be a lot different from the one we have."
>"Yeah, sounds like it. Who's in charge of your Netherworld? Ours has a ghost princess!"
>"Is Jennifer somewhere in Gensokyo, them? We should go find her!"
>"Oh, okay. You should get back to that."
> Consider feeling guilty, but don't.
>"Maybe?"
>Look around for a wrench.
>If we can't find one: "Hatate, you're fast. Go get a wrench. Nitori probably has one, if nothing else."
>"Actually, get Nitori herself. She'll want to see this."
>And maybe she can learn how to build one!
"Hatate, you're quick. Go get Nitori. She'll want to see this."
>Must... have... robot army.
> Walk over to kogasa, and ask her if she's okay, but quietly.
>"Then we'll beat 'em up!"
>To Hatate: "I don't think we're going anywhere until Gordon's finished fixing the robot. You're fast enough to get Nitori before that, aren't you?"
>"I want Nitori to learn how to make a robot like that. Go get her. I'll work some miracles with the wind to speed you up."
>Can we? Whatever the answer is, say it.
>Check the clouds; do they seem lightning-worthy?
>"You might want to hunker down or something, there's gonna be a lot of wind now!"
>Alright then, let's do this! Bring on the wind! We're gonna move that stormcloud!
>...Hope they don't have any laundry out today or anything, it could blow away.
>What the?
>Oh, right, the robot. We'll just do this boringly, then. And then look t the screwy cloud.
>Call down a lightning bolt.
>"There!"
>"I was trying to get it to be further away.."
>"I think that means touch it. Or it wants to play a tactical game? No, I think it's touch it."
>"Hey, she's not an angel! She's a tengu! Get it right!"
>Point at Hatate and Fuu.
>"They are! Don't they have tengu where you're from?"
>WHat all do we know about tengu?
>"People with wings who live in heavan. Supposedly, at least. There aren't any here in our heaven, but I guess Gordon's world's heaven does have them."
>To Gorden: "Tengu aren't angels."
>"If you mean the outside world, nobody there's seen heaven. If you mean Gordon's world, you'll have to ask him."
>"No, that'd be weird! ...Can they do it where you come from?"
>"The guys that attacked you two?!"
>We should stick around to get a look at 'em!
>"....That's where that stormcloud I couldn't move was!"
>Look to Hatate, Fuu, and Kogasa. "Come on, we've got an incident to resolve!" Don't forget to be sufficiently hammy!
>"Hey, what are you talking about?"
>"It's a tower of white jade, mook!"
>"Uh, what?"
>Look at Hatate. "Have you been to the netherworld? Have any of the tengu, actually?"
> Might be time to prove we are the good guys the way reimu does: beat them up!
>"Hey, don't blame us. Canonically they aren't even supposed to have wings!"
>"What about crows? They aren't evildoers!"
>"Doesn't sound like it."
>"Hey! Gordon! What the heck is wrong with you? This isn't your world, okay? Things are diferent here! Crow tengu don't bring bad luck! They bring newspapers!"
>But before blowing him away, drop a lightningbolt on him if we can!
>Damn it, we have othre things to deal with.
>"How DARE you call me evil!"
>Call up the wind again and use it to give Gordon the Team Rocket treatment. Then head for that cloud!
>Pause in mid-motion to give me a facefull of danmaku.
>"Huh?"
>Pause in mid-motion to give him a facefull of danmaku.
>"Huh?"
>"Hatate's got a point. Hey, maybe since they ended up coming here from another place kinda like Gensokyo, maybe we'll find new Youkai or something!"
>Note to self: We need to work on our lightningbolts, wasn't there a dragon palace envoy who could do that? Maybe she can help up get better!
>"Well, if he's not being honest, then he'll taste my Justice Wind!"
>Here it comes...time for the ham! "For I am Sanae Kochiya, Defender of Gensokyo!"
>"Okay, sure Mr Thursday!"
>If only that mook weren't there, we could fly on a robot!
>...Maybe if he takes a fall...No, that's probably bad!
>Probably.
>"That's okay, we can fly."
>"Well...I wouldn't exactly call them defenders per se but...They have helped out in the past, and they've been at it since before I got here apparently!"
>"Wonder if it's Marisa this time..?" Let's get moving! To the stormcloud!
>"Um, I have to see 'em, first. Unless you can show me? Can you do that cool holograph projection thing?!"
>"Yeah, but it's a popular place, right?"
>Summarize what we know about the Myourens, with cavaets that they may not all be there.
>Shudder. Curvy lasers, so many bad memories ;_;
>"Yep! According to what I heard, the Spellcard Rules were made to give even humans a fighting chance against Youkai stronger than them. Something about being fair to everyone or something."
>"I've gone up against the folks at Myouren in the past, they're really good. Especically Nue and Byakuren. But Shou needs to be mentioned too, because she has lasers that curve! You have to see 'em to believe it!"
>"They're horrifying!"
>"Don't worry; I understood it."
>"No, the building does not have any defensive weaponry, but it's hardly defenseless. THere are some really powerful people there."
>"Well, the only people that use anything that needs electricity are the Tengu, the Kappa, and everyone else at the Moriya Shrine. That's where I live. But mostly just the Kappa, since they're always tinkering with machines and stuff. So yeah, there's not really much technology, nothing like the Outside World where I used to live."
>"There's no Gensokyo-wide government. Different places are ruled by different people. For instance, Kaguya rules the bamboo forest, and Satori the underground. And Lady Kanako's in charge of the mountain."
>"And then there's Keine down in the Human Village, she also works as a teacher apparently. Nobody really controls the Forest of Magic though, since there's a couple of folks living there."
>"And then there's this creepy mansion over near The Misty Lake, I hear that a vampire lives there! Apparently she's a really light eater from what I've heard. But she never really does much of anything really, I hear she caused quite a mess before I arrived in Gensokyo though, something about making way too much mist and screwing up the weather with it. Reimu and Marisa solved that one though, they've been doing that since before I showed up."
>Flash a suitably hammy grin. "But don't think that I'm not the real Defender of Gensokyo! I just consider it that they were holding down the fort for me until I arrived!"
>"...Even if they beat me up back then too..."
>Nod to Kogasa. "Yeah, probably."
>"We don't need a leader, I just take care of the problems when they happen!"
>"So see? We're just fine like we are."
>Don't add weirdo to the end of that...
>"Kogasa?"
>"Me me me!"
>Show Thursday a basic nonspell pattern.
>"...Aw, what the hey. Let's all show him a lot of examples! And if things go like I think they will, you'll get to see some spellcards here in a bit too!"
>"Spellcards are kinda like Danmaku, insofar as they're just a lot of it. But they're way fancier and stronger than the typical non-spells. I'll have to see if I can talk Kanako into showing you guys one of her best cards sometime!"
>"Come on, we'd better get over there!"
>Hey, someone's fighting invaders without us! Not cool!
>Get over there!
>Do we recognize her?
>If not and she seems threatening, give her the snake shots.
>"Hey! We're on your side!"
>"She's a youkai. She'll be fine."
>To the battle! These invaders must be stopped!
>Where's the thickest clump of biker dudes? It seems a lot of good could be done by danmakuing them up.
>And then snagging a bike later!
>Alright, let's drop some lightningbolts!
(If any of the myouren crew or our allies get hit)>"Sorry about the friendly fire! I'm still getting the hang of this!"
>Oooh, shapeshifter fight!
>No, wait, we can't watch that right now!
>...Dammit.
>Okay, time for that cloud-thing to die. Lightning the shit out of it.
>Are we able to contact Kanako and/or Suwako in any way?
>"Kanako, Suwako, I could use a little help."
>Let's let off a few choice 'words'. "Damn! Something's getting in the way!"
>Ah, we almost forgot about those guys didn't we? Let's head for that rider that broke off after us at full speed and boot 'im right off his ride!
>Just like in Kamen Rider!
>Move to the side and give him a face full of snakes!
>Take a quick glance toward those noises.
>Do we know how to operate a motor vehicle? Or a bike?
>Nicely done Fuu, we'll have to pick that up sometime!
>Let's bombard that runner with some snake shots then!
>Nod. "Yeah, wonder where they came from?"
>Smile in our usual hammy way. "Not that it matters any, because I'll just send 'em right back to wherever it is!"
>Let's fly off to the next big group of biker dudes and unload a bunch of frog shots!
>Like we can't dodge that.
>Evade and return fire.

>Spellcards
>"Oooh...You guys just earned even more punishment!"
>Let's ramp up the winds to full power! Tornadoes, typhoons, hurricanes, the whole nine yards!
>Alright, that hurt! Rocket back up to our previous altitude!
>"Okay, now you've made me mad! Snake Sign: Orochi of Ancient Times!"
>Towards the bonehead that shot us of course!
>Unload a wide-area cluster of frogshot in all directions!
>Oh! Stop firing in that direction at least.
>"Sorry! Force of habit!"
>Nod. "I'll try to find them and lend a hand, think you'll be okay to hold out here?"
>Grin slightly. "I told you, force of habit."
>Well, let's look around for them then.
>What the hey? Let's send some shots to help both out!
>Snake shots towards the Man-bat and his robo-cat(that's so awesome.), and Frog Shots towards Big'n'Pork!
>Heh, let's fly at the robo-cat, making sure to avoid the fireball. (And thus, avoiding the pigman's shot in the process.)
>Then, when we get close enough, peel away and make a beeline right for the pigman!
>If this works, those two knuckleheads will have a rather close encounter with each other.
>Heh, let's fly at the robo-cat, making sure to avoid the fireball. (And thus, avoiding the pigman's shot in the process.)
>Then, when we get close enough, peel away and make a beeline right for the pigman!

>Straight up, but make sure the cat's right on our tail as we head for the pigman, so that way we're obscuring it as best we can!
>Change of plans; Cut the flight, and drop! Looks like Roast Pork is on the menu!
>Flash her a thumbs up! "Thanks for the save! Looks like we're even now!"
>Let's get up and turn to face the robokitty with a highly angered expression. "That wasn't very nice you know, crisping my hair like that. Do you have any idea how long it takes me to get it ready in the morning?! Imagine how you'd feel if you were in my shoes!"
>Point at the robocat. "For that, you'll taste the wrath of justice!"
>Bombard it with frogshots!
>"You don't know who you're up against then, do you?"
>Let's call up the winds at full blast! We'll sit right in the center of a nice little mini-tornado!
>"Justice never surrenders! Since you and the others who came with you are disrupting the peace, that makes you an enemy of Justice! And as the Defender of Gensokyo, I cannot allow someone like you to do as they please!"
>Bomb Charge
