> Ichirin: Consider learning MOFUMOFU BARRIER.The MOFUMOFUTECH SKILL TREE is very expensive to buy without the appropriate RACIAL SYNERGIES, even if it's only for TEAM BRANCHES. It's really only viable for BEAST YOUKAI; you'd have to significantly rework your SKILL THICKET to plant a MOFUMOFUTECH SKILL TREE in it, and you don't want to mess up the solid patch of EXPERIENCE MOSS you have growing.
> Ichirin: Give Shou a judgmental stare.Nazrin's on it.
Shou is a tiger youkai, and as such, she tends to fall easily to her PREDATORY INSTINCTS. Whenever she wants something, she cannot resist the urge to take it by force! Paradoxically, the TEACHINGS OF BISHAMONTEN also drive her towards GENEROSITY, meaning she often gives away the things she takes. Shou sure is weird!
> Ichirin: Keep an eye on Nue.She hasn't budged. Don't worry about it, anyway! The cake is stashed safe in your INVENTORY where Nue cannot see or access it. At least you're pretty sure she can't. She could have some kind of CLASS FEATURE that lets her do that, who knows.
All this pranking business sure is making you paranoid! You wonder how Nue can handle this on a day-to-day basis.
Suddenly, Byakuren appears! She apologizes for keeping everyone waiting.
Byakuren tells you that she'll be representing the Myouren Temple and for the rest of you to just have fun at the party, but that you should keep in mind that people will judge the temple by its members. Most of you have plenty of experience with the oni, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Everyone confirms that they're ready to leave, so you all take to the air together and make your way towards the entrance to the underground!
~It'll take a little time to get there, so why don't we kill some time with somebody else?
> Be Yukari.
You are YUKARI YAKUMO, MASTERMIND BEHIND THE SPIRITING AWAY. You are a very
old beautiful and powerful youkai that has been around since Gensokyo was sealed off by the HAKUREI BORDER. You make it your business to see that the STATUS QUO in your beloved Gensokyo is kept, keeping it safe from outside forces, although this task has become SIGNIFICANTLY MORE COMPLICATED in recent years.
You enjoy fine alcohol, Machiavellian plots, and hassling Hakurei shrine maidens. You are disliked by JUST ABOUT EVERYONE, which in your mind only serves to indicate that you are doing your job properly.
You possess what is arguably the most powerful ability in Gensokyo, the ABILITY TO MANIPULATE BOUNDARIES. Your control over this NEBULOUS CONCEPT not only allows you to pass through the tiniest of cracks in the fabric of space with ease, but to do
anything as long as you can think of its opposite. However, in truth your ability is just gravy; your real strength is your exceptional cunning. You get most of your work done by manipulating others into doing it for you. You just happen to back it up with some of the most TERRIFYING DANMAKU IN GENSOKYO. You're sort of like Superman and Batman rolled together. You're just that awesome.
Well, usually, anyway. A youkai of your
age status needs her beauty sleep!
Your shikigami RAN YAKUMO tries to wake you up. You tell her to go away. Ran tells you that you told her to wake you up early for the party today!
You tell her you meant like ten minutes early, not two hours early. Waking up at 10 AM? What the hell is this, boot camp?
The nudgings do not cease.
