YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG
Or rather, don't worry about putting your own little tweaks on things. As long as you don't blatantly contradict established things just because, it'll be fine. It's okay to blatantly contradict as long as there's a good reason, and you don't overdo it.

>"I am a vampire of strength, and beauty. They call me...Flan-chan!"

>Glomp her as soon as she's ko'd
Also, I am considering a level system, random thought with no real reason, but I'm considering it anyway, like Nameless Quest, but 2 things factor whether or not I will use one. First, I need permision, since what I use will be based off of it. Next, I need you, the people posting here to vote on it. Yes or No for having a level system.

>Cuteness >Danmaku >Cuteness
>Regen >Danmaku >Danmaku
Anyone willing to change one of their votes to either danmaku, sanity, or cuteness so at least we have agreement on one point? Then we can fight over remaining two. Progress!
>Experiment with Sakuya

>"Hello, my name is Flandre Scarlet. Pleased to meet you."
>"Okay, but this better be good!"
>Offer a hand to Sakuya for holding.
>"...The basement?"
>"Oh. I must have hit my head or something, because the basement is all I remember. Hey, which of those green things down there are trees, anyways? It's gotta be one of 'em!"
I will lock this shit so fast~
Also there's a lot of Flandre escapes fanon. So it's hard to tell which one counts.
>"...All of 'em? Wow! Even that thing?"
>Point at the building.
>"Oh, I have a question. Back at that place with all the people? How come all the buildings were really tiny? Are there people stuck in them like I am in the basement?"
Need to read more, so no dice here.
> Try to get a better look. Is it, perchance, a house?

Work in actions as well as words. Don't just use said, have 'em do little things. Gesture, do whatever they were doing, so on.
>To the two strangers who are no doubt super friendly, "Hi I'm Flandre and it's my birthday!"
>Happy smiles!
So essentially, whenever you want. The timeline is kinda malleable. I tend to go year by year because I like peoples to be adults.> "How about some Danmaku then skippy?" As Mima "snaps" her knuckles, ready to punch.

>"Oka- WAIT!"
>Throw hands out for effect.
>Ponder. Does this violate The Deal?
>"Sure!"
>Get them danmakus flying.
>Detail Spell Cards
Describe what the dangerous things are doing as best you can, and all will be well.
>Try to keep back from that orb. Back away and look for gaps in Suika's danmaku.
>What is our own like?
There's always guesswork involved. Don't worry. Reisen's cards were a nightmare =[
>Back away until there are obvious gaps in the bullet, and let pass by us. Throw more non-card danmaku. Does the black sphere affect them?
>More nonspell danmaku! Let's keep the pressure up on her!
Silly times will come when its silly time. Though personally I intend to avoid meme howling. That's just classless
>It's time to do that one thing we read about in Patchy's book! Fly toward the sphere! Go around it, use its gravity to sling-shout outwards, and give Suika a faceful of them danmakus!
>Try not to get hit while doing this.
>Use low kick!
>Get near Suika and Q.E.D. "Ripples of 495 Years."
>Keep up the music til she surrenders!
>"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!"
>If Suika actually lasts the thirty seconds, get ready to draw back. But keep up the spellcard until then.
>"Kya!"
>Tumble a bit.
>Try to figure out if that was Suika or someone else.
> Slap self for getting carried away.
> Apologize to Suika.
>THIS is why we need the sanity.
>Make sure we do not make any threatening gestures and crank up the moe mode.
>"But all I did was laugh and have fun..."
>Frown.
>"Am I not allowed to do that?"
>"No I wasn't! I was just using a spellcard! You said I could!"
>"I think you're wrong!
>Pause. Ponder.
>"And...um, what's a Ripple?"
>"Oh. Well you're still wrong. I wasn't doing anything."
>Look to Suika. "Are you okay? And that round didn't count."
>Shake head. "It doesn't count, though, since Sakuya messed it up."
>Nod enthusiastically!
>Get out of the way!
>Toss some nonspell danmaku, test how she reacts to it.
>"Hey!"
>Try to hit her from a different angle, so that the rocks can't get in the way of our shots.
>What sort of pattern do these rocks have?
>Get a feeling for how she throws, while shooting at her like before. Try to predict where they rocks will be going based on how she throws, and exploit gaps in it.
>Is there specific pattern to Suika's movement? Then maybe we can predict her future location and throw some bullets there.
>If she's not moving...
>Use Taboo: Maze of Love.
>Throw some of the speedier shots at her, try to fake her out.
>Grin.
>Keep Suika on her toes. If she got burned against the side of the card, hope she'll be wary of that and throw some more fast danmaku at her.
>Has her card broken yet?
>Keep it up, unless she surrenders or changes tactics.
>"Kay!"
>Look at who's laughing real quick, before preparing for nasty spellcard times.
>Lots of garbage coming in from the side?
>Back away; end Maze of Love for now (Can it be reused if prematurely ended?)
>Observe what Suika is doing, while trying not to get buried.
>If there are three waves, and they're all coming for us...
>Use Taboo: Four of a Kind
>Charge forward and hope we have abused a safe spot
>If it is a safespot, just...stand there
>If it isn't, danmaku while we're up close
To be fair, there's no actual documentary evidence that Surtr used Laevetienn at Ragnarok, only that he was said to have it in the Fj?lsvinnsm?l. Just it's a good assumption. Also the spellcard description didn't mention an element.
>Contemplate if Forbidden Barrage: Counter-Clock could melt through the ice.
No, it's mentioned as a possession of Surtr's. It is not a bad assumption, though. But, the Gylfaginning never actually names the weapon that Surtr uses.
>Let's break out Taboo: Laevetienn!
>Cuteness! Break the barrier between Kawaii and Kyosuke!With this we shall lull them all into a sense of false security! *maniacle laughter"
>Cuteness! Break the barrier between Kawaii and Kyosuke!
With this we shall lull them all into a sense of false security! *maniacle laughter"
> Set back down onto the ground.
>"Well, I guess. I sorta want to do some other things, too. Like...make a sand castle! Sakuya never lets there be enough dust to make one at home. And find some more legos. But we can play, too!
>Have we ever actually encountered currency before, being cooped up in the basement? Or the concept of currency?
Most go with yen. I use ☼.
>"Why do you need donations? Are you poor?"
>Well if it's good enough for Sakuya...
>Give 200 yen.
>"Hey wait! You told me that you'd tell me where to find some legos!"
> :(
>"I'm sorry...did I do something bad?"
>Tear up
> :(
>"I'm sorry...did I do something bad?"
>Tear up
>Why would we think it was bad. Not like we have a much a concept of theft, and it's our mansion anyways.
>Instead say: "Mmmhmm"
>"...So it was bad, then? Weird."
>"This many."
>Show the rest of the yen.
>"And, I don't have to ask when I take my toys. And it's in the scarlet devil mansion, so it's mine, right?"
>"Which is closer? The lake or Kourindou?"
Stuff is more or less wherever you want it to be. If you pay close attention to the overworld in Patchy/Reisen/Ran quest, you'll note a made a few significant errors. As long as you get the general stuff right, you'll be okay.
>"Let's get the Legos, he might not be home later."
>Look at the burned out area.
>"That wasn't me."
>"Oooooh! Is she there?"
>Examine it hopefully while flying along.
> =I
>"Well, she's probably really busy and stuff... Um, maybe on the way back?"
>Onwards to Kourinheim!
>Examine the building. Not as though we have much experience with them.
>Enter the building
>Stare in awe at the plethora of knick knacks
>Staaaaaaaare.
>After a few moments, trundle over to the Legos, and examine them in detail.
>Grab dem Legos!
>Have a look at the other things, oohing and aahing.
>Flip through the book, if it's available.
>Check the prices on all of these things.
>If we have the technology to use those sound tracks, pick them both up along with the legos, and trundle over to Rinnosuke.
>If we don't, ignore the soundtracks.
>"I want this/these!"
>Fork it over.
>Level Up Cuteness! Break the barrier between Daaaaaww and Dekar!
>Hot bees!
>"Let's go see what Marisa is doing, Sakuya!"
>Listen to the voice.
>"What's that?"
>"Voices. Shh, listen."
>"GYAH!"
>Conjure and parry with Laevetienn if possibly. If not, just dive out of the way.
>"Why are you hitting me?! I didn't do anything to you!"
> Aggress.
>"I don't know, but it's just a cheap copy!"
>Try to disarm the doll. We have to have the weight advantage, and we actually know Laevetienn's little quirks.
> Greet Aurica.
> "Who're you? And I didn't start it!"
> "I think I remember that..."
Swear I posted to it before.
>"Oh, yeah. Um, don't get into any more zombie trouble, Aurica! It was a huge mess!"
>Onward!
Don't swear, asshole, it's impolite!
>Can we determine anything about the energy. Such as whether or not we need to duck and cover?
>"We should hide, real soon."
>Look for things to take cover behind.
>"Hey, aren't you the one who played danmaku with me a long time ago?"
>Don't get Master Sparked and die.
>"That didn't seem very smart. Are you okay?"
>"Okay, I'll keep them away."
>Ponder if they'd believe the place is haunted?
>"Gyah!"
>Stumble back.
>"Stop stop stop, please stop!"
>Wave hands frantically.
>"She's hurt kind of bad right now, and Sakuya is taking care of her and she needs to be left alone, so please just wait here until she's done!"
>"Um, she didn't say, but it sounded like it was going to be just a little bit."
>Look to the unfamiliar peoples. "Um, hello, I'm Flandre. And I'm sorry Marisa shot you. Um, she didn't mean it at all, things just sorta went nuts. I saw it, she didn't do anything on purpose!"
> "I think Sakuya said that she's out cold too..."
>"Gyah!"
>Duck.
>Is the other Yuka still there?
> "Y-yeah..."
I think that its fine the way it is although just like Purvis said, Sakuya does do a lot for us. Otherwise, I think a laid back adventure like this is good.
(About all I have to offer is that Sakuya is kinda doing a lot of stuff for us.)
>"Okay, is she gonna be alright? Miss Green Twopeople isn't going to get her, right? Right?"
>Follow along.
> Head for Youkai Mountain.
> Pass the time by looking around at the scenery.
>"Do you do that with your knives? I never really even thought of it. Um, it's not considered cheating, is it? I don't want to get orbed again..."
>"Um, hi there Miss Ayayayayaya Speedy. We're just visiting."
>"Oh, okay. And, why are you so sure?"
>"But I don't wanna fight. Marisa's been hurt and its not any fun now..."
>Consider ways to escape the wily winds.
> There is only one way out of this situation...
> Invoke the most Diabetes-inducing action we are capable of with our massive cuteness stat.
>Include asking "Why are you being so mean!?" if it does not detract from the action.
>"Oh, okay! I surrender."
>Lament that people don't say these things to start with.
>Shake head to Sakuya
>"So can I visit the mountain now? It looks real neat, and I wanna see what a kappa looks like!"
>"Nu-uh, she just has to move. And that's okay, since she knows I'm not all angry and beating things up like she thought I was. Isn't that right, Miss Ayayaya? Besides, it's my birthday, so it's special!"
>"Why?"
>"Wait! I have a better idea. How about a game? I promised I wouldn't hurt anyone today, so maybe that would be better?"
>"The bestest game, obviously!"
>Serious face go!
>"Candyland."
>"...Did you just say Candyland isn't the best?"
>If she says anything other than something to the tune of "No of course not!", test out that Laevetienn cross-up Sakuya suggested. Some insults cannot be allowed to pass.
>"I'll deport you to Ayacucho, Peru!"
>Fast forward
>Begin to fly around Aya and poke her, SEE HOW SHE LIKES IT!
>Now give her finger pokes. The annoying kind. Because she's a jerk!
>"Oh fine. But how come I'm the one everything thinks is a maniac, then?"
>Give her a good black of them danmakus in the back.
> I prescribe more cuteness.
> I think Sanity might be a good choice, though. Perhaps we'll have to use Q.E.D. later on, and if we have a high enough Sanity stat, we might be able to resist making things explode.
> That said, if we can out-cute everything, go with Cuteness!
>Level up Cuteness! Break the barrier between kawaii and Kamina!
>Head for the mountain!
>Give Aya a hand if she needs one. Or make Megamaid carry her if she really needs it.
>"Oh! Well, um, the store in the forest is selling really nice things, and Marisa-sama blew herself up. And I think the people in the human village are up to something."
>Ponder the shut-in nature of the Tengu village, then look between Sakuya and Aya. "Does that mean we have to beat up their Meiling first, before we can get into the tengu village? Or would we have to beat up their Sakuya and Patch-patch too?"
>"Oh. But...if people beat up Meiling, that means they get to come in. At least until Patchy and Sakuya catch them. Or the maids if Sakuya's around... That's pretty weird."
>Consider.
>"I wanna see kappa town first! I've never even seen a kappa before!"
>"Yay!"
>Set expectations to be marveled and bedazzled!
>"What? Anyways, let's go! Let's go!"
>Descend.
>Have a look around. Note things that are not seen in the basement or mansion proper.
>Trundle off to go exploring!
>Try not to be permanently wide-eyed from all the crazy new stuff. Also try not to fall into the river. There's that thing about vampires and submerging their hearts in running water.
>Wave to Nitori. "Hi I'm Flandre! It's my birthday!"
>"Yeah-huh! How'd you know?"
> "Ya!"
> Smile.
> Look at Sakuya expectantly.
> "Can we?!"
> "YAY!"
> Follow Nitori.
> "Wow! How long did it take you to make these?"
> Look, but don't touch -- we don't want to break anything and get Sakuya mad at us.
>Look around for snacks. Grab some if they are available!
>Have a look at all the machines. And all the machine bits we've never seen before.
>Snag a grape and a cucumber. Sample the latter first!
>Ooh and Aah over the machines.
>"What's that music?" Head over to the entrance to get a better look.
>"Oh? Did it make that shout, too?"
>"Oh, what was that shout, then?"
>Look in its direction to investigate.
> "Oh! So it was the machine!"
>"Why does your machine know what's happening at the Hakurei Shrine? Is it a spy?"> "The machine works sorta like a Map of Gensokyo, and it also shows little dots for noise sources within a certain distance. It showed that a very loud noise came from the shrine, at the same time we heard the Yippe."
>"Um, one of these."
>Present the soundtracks to Nitori.
>Why not? It is dance times!
>Try not to break anything.
>Keep going until the song ends.
>After, approach Nitori, "Do you have any other neat things like that?"
>"Hey you guys can do this too!"
>When in Kappaheim, do as the kappa do~
>Ask Nitori about the musicians.
>Ask her if there really is a bunch of tiny transforming robots inside the CD player, like in that comic book you had.> "Nope, I checked. Although, I am working on a robot that can change shape, but no where near as much as in the comics, or as cool either. That stuff is pretty much impossible for me, I'd sooner game over then be able to build something that awesome."
>"Oh. Um, do you have any other neat things around?"
>"Show me show me show me show me!"
>"Sakuya! Sakuya look! That huge youkai is made of metal!"
>"It smells really bad."> "Huh what smells ba- ohh dang it! I just fixed it too!"
>"Okay. There's a shrine, right? Let's go see it."
(Naw, it's alright. My suggestion would be to come up with some kind of goal, something we can chase after, as opposed to just site-seeing. In the meantime, shiny distractions work! As do unexpected bad things.)
>"The one on the mountain. We already saw the Red White one."
>Head for the Moriya Shrine! Maybe we'll get to see a festival! Shrines have those!
>"We're going to the shrine! Hey, are you friends with Aya? Because I met her and she tried to stop me from visiting the kappa, and she was really, really mean about it!"
> Even though she knows our name, introduce self. In the cutest way possible.
>After all, we don't want her to think we're Sakuya.
>"That's right! And, wouldn't that make you the best in Gensokyo? I thought the netherworld was a different place."
>Look to Sakuya in askance.
>Notice Momiji's tail.
>"Ooh, wait, what's this?"
>Pull said tail questioningly.
>"Oh, okay megamaid."
>"Bye, Miss Second Swordslady!"
>Shrineward, ho!
>"Oh, okay!"
>Try not to be hypnotized by the tail...
>When the wind kicks up, struggle against it.
>"What's a white wolf clan?"
>Look to Sakuya.
>"Oh. Am I a member?"
>Look ahead, try to figure out where that voice was coming from.
>"I have wings! That sets me apart!"
>Sage nod.
>"And Sakuya's not a youkai. She's a human. Big sis gets mad if people say otherwise."
>Too bad we're too oblivious to catch the obvious dog crack~
>Shrineward!
(Implying Sakuya is akin to the White Wolves > Implying Sakuya is a dog.)
>"Hi, I'm Flandre! It's my birthday! Is Shiva here?"
>"Gods are supposed to hang around here, right? Is Shiva here? He's so cool!"
>Look around excitedly for any multi-limbed Vedic deities.
>"Oh..."
>"Well, that's good too!"
>Resume looking around.
>Marvel at all the weird non-basement architecture.
>"Oh, that's really nice! No one's allowed in the mansion, unless Meiling and everyone can't stop them. Which happens sometimes!"
>Marvel at the self-opening door, then walk in.
>Listen, all wide-eyed.
>Nod enthusiastically.
>Are we aware of the wordings of woodwind instruments, let along such esoterica as the EWI?
>"It looked neat."
>"Oh. Okay. But she's kinda sick at the moment."
>"Oh, okay. What's the book?"
>We read books! Does that star sign sound familiar? If so, go through the various six-point star designs we know.
>"Oh, it's okay. I can help! Um, is it a star made of two triangles? Because Big Sis likes that one!"
>"Naw. I'll be back!"
>Head out, and back to Mushroom House!
>Walk right in! What's knocking? Is that a kind of dance?
>Wave
>"Hi Miss Margo, we're here for Miss Windy Goddess' Torah!"
>Look around for books with stars on them.
>_
>Examine the room, anyone peculiar or sticking out?
>"Why are there so many swords? Is Marisa a secret knight? Or secret samurai? Or a secret samurknight?"
(FFVII and Tales of Symphonia references spotted.)
> "I just thought that name sounded cool. Miss Windy Goddess wanted us to get a white book with a star made of triangles on it."
(Materia Blade is FFT and sequels)
>Check Marisa's room for Judaica!
>Beam proudly!
>Have a look at Marisa, to see if she's okay.
>Hide the book behind us.
>"Yeah! Um, you need to rest up a lot more, so just go back to sleep."
>Lament lack of opportunity to draw whiskers on her face.
>Dangit! There is some other force at work here. Some mastermind. Someone who can anticipate our desires and beat us to them...
>"Um, you kinda blew yourself up a little bit... And yeah, she wants it back."
"Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi"
>"Um, you were trying a new spell, I think? And we came to visit, and then boomies."
Hurray for Japanese Imperial Regailia!
> "We had to make sure the mad people didn't get you as well."
> "Oh geez. You're not dying are you?"
> Go closer.
> Blush.
> As in really blush.
> Attempt to say words.
> Flandre is confused!
> She hurt herself in her confusion!
> Attempt to say thanks. If this fails, settle for giving Marisa a hug.
>"Hey Marisa, get betterer, okay?"
Giggle nervously and nod to Sakuya.
>"She called me a little princess~ Eeeee!"
>"Oh wait! The book!"
>Take ze book!
>"Okay, let's get out of here, before Miss Windy forgets about her book!"
>Exeunt!
> Hold on tight to the book!
...
> Equip book.
>"What's that way?"
>"Yeah, but I wanna spend the rest of my life with you and Patch-patch and Misuzu and Big Sis and everyone too. That's not very strange, is it?"
>Worried face.
>"But does that mean I'm lying when I say I love you guys...? Anyways...I dunno."
>Is Sanae red-cheeked and possibly laughing at nothing? Because surely we've seen that that kind of tea does and know we aren't allowed to have any.
(Pitch me a PM, and I'll see if I can help out)
>"Oh. Well I'm confused!"
>"Hi Miss Sana! We good Ze Book!"
>Wave it around!
>"Oh, sorry."
>Cease waving.
>Head inside, seek out the door at the end of the first room, and knock.
>Enter!
>Brandish Ze Book!
>"Lookee what I got!"
>"Oh! Will the others be okay with that if I were to do that?"
>"Took your place? Is this like the time when Misuzu and Patch-patch got in a fight over who had the harder job, and so they switched jobs, and Patch-patch got sunstroke and Misuzu got a migraine?"
>Pause.
>"Or did I dream that?"
(Misuzu is another way to read Mieling's name, and thus part of the whole joke that no one knows her names. I use it because I am a bad person)
>"Oh. It was a funny dream!"
>"I have her book. Would you give it to her?"
>"Okeedokee then! Here you go!"
>Hand the book over to her.
>Confuzzlement!
>"Um, something really neat and awesome?"
> Ummm ... nineteen yin-yangs!
>"Um...what're my choices?"
(Now to ponder how terrible we can be..."
>Actually, if Suwako says it's a proper wish, as opposed to asking a rich person for a favor, let's see how much we can mess things up.
>"Um...I want to be big and tall and beautiful, like Sakuya or Miss Gatekeeper! But a lot more!"
>"Oh. I thought you were like that because you were a goddess and that it was...uh...symbolic. So you can't even do it a little bit? What if you both worked together? Sakuya says working together is very important! She has to tell the other maids all the time so they don't mess things up."
>Sage nod.
>"Oh, okay. Um...could you make it so the basement door won't lock anymore?"
>Point over to where the Scarlet Devil Mansion is.
>"What's wrong Sakuya-san?"
>"I don't want onee-chan to get mad at you... would she get mad if I did this?"
>"What's the matter, Megamaid? I'm supposed to wish for a thing I want, right? And she couldn't do the first one, which sucks, but it was a bit much I guess..."
>Ponder
>"Would it get in the way of something Big Sis wants to do?"
> Confused moe look.
>"Oooooh!"
>Back to Suwacker. "Um. I think I ran out of wishes."
