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

[Tashi]

> "See it this way. We don't want to take away what makes you feel at ease. We want for you to find something that makes you feel at ease that doesn't involve anything wrong, such as hurting you, hurting other, that kind of things."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"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]

>"The process I used to attempt to give Hourai independence, despite the many unfortunate shortcuts it took, was able to give her speech. Shanghai isn't able to speak yet, since I'm going with a slower, less rushed approach for her."
>You notice Hourai scowl for a second.

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

>"That wouldn't be the same..." Hourai frowns.

> "See it this way. We don't want to take away what makes you feel at ease. We want for you to find something that makes you feel at ease that doesn't involve anything wrong, such as hurting you, hurting other, that kind of things."

>She rolls her eyes.

[SerB18]

>"Oh I see I think because of you giving Hourai the ability to speak and have a personality the side effect was her morbid habit. Say Alice how about you take away Hourai's ability to speak.
> Look at Hourai.
>"I'm sorry its probably for your own good Hourai."

[AzyWng]

> "Have you tried writing or knitting before? You can't really know until you try..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh I see I think because of you giving Hourai the ability to speak and have a personality the side effect was her morbid habit. Say Alice how about you take away Hourai's ability to speak.
> Look at Hourai.
>"I'm sorry its probably for your own good Hourai."

>"Excuse me!?!" Hourai looks offended.

>"Marisa, Hourai being able to speak isn't the problem." Alice frowns, "Besides, it just wouldn't feel right if I took that away from her..."

> "Have you tried writing or knitting before? You can't really know until you try..."

>Hourai refuses to respond and is giving you a look.
>_

[Tashi]

//... Uuuh...

> "Okay. Sorry, sorry!"
> Sigh in an apologetic-Marisa way.
> "Didn't meant to sound THAT harsh... But let me ask a question to you, Hourai. SInce how long you have been like this?"

[R. P. Genocraft]

//I think I got something
> "Also, Alice, when did you stop working on Hourai and why did you?"

[SerB18]

>"So you said you took some shortcuts eh Alice. Define what exactly those shortcuts are, ze. Does involve necromancy or some creapy stuff that I should tell Reimu about?"
>"Hey Hourai since you don't want to talk to Alice about you're habit that much how about I take you to a good friend. He's names Rinosuke and he has the ability to know about a things quirks and abilities maybe he'll give you some advice regarding you're habit."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//... Uuuh...

> "Okay. Sorry, sorry!"
> Sigh in an apologetic-Marisa way.
> "Didn't meant to sound THAT harsh... But let me ask a question to you, Hourai. SInce how long you have been like this?"

>"What's that supposed to mean?" Hourai frowns.

//I think I got something
> "Also, Alice, when did you stop working on Hourai and why did you?"

>"Well, Hourai was just a normal doll until several years ago, where I used her as the prototype for Shanghai. She was a test of one method of giving dolls independence, which didn't really work out as I planned it to." Alice glances at Hourai, "She's nearly finished anyway, the only thing I could give her is the one thing I'm struggling to obtain with Shanghai..."

>"So you said you took some shortcuts eh Alice. Define what exactly those shortcuts are, ze. Does involve necromancy or some creapy stuff that I should tell Reimu about?"

>Alice hesitates for a moment before speaking, "I-I used my Grimoire. It had a spell for bringing things to life. I thought it would've been simpler than the more complicated methods, though I know better now..."

>"Hey Hourai since you don't want to talk to Alice about you're habit that much how about I take you to a good friend. He's names Rinosuke and he has the ability to know about a things quirks and abilities maybe he'll give you some advice regarding you're habit."

>Hourai looks between you and Alice and sighs, "As much as I don't want to, I'd rather not be in this house right now. So why not?"
>_

[SerB18]

>"Oh really? Say Alice how about we go to Rinosuke today, maybe by letting Hourai go outside a bit she might cool down a bit and Rinosuke may offer some advice."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh really? Say Alice how about we go to Rinosuke today, maybe by letting Hourai go outside a bit she might cool down a bit and Rinosuke may offer some advice."

>"Well I already agreed to come with you earlier. So I wouldn't mind that..." Alice replies.

>"On second thought, I'd rather stay here." Hourai frowns.
>_

[SerB18]

>"Oh come on Hourai! I thought you wanna go outside. What, are you afraid Rinosuke will take you apart? He wont do that to you and besides Alice does that to you already right?"
>Stubborn doll. Think to yourself.
>"Say Alice about that spell you used on Hourai. Is it only restricted to inanimate objects or can it also raise the dead from the living? I mean a dead person is technically a 'thing' right?"

[meow56]

>Only say that part about Alice taking apart Hourai if Alice actually takes apart Hourai.

[Tashi]

> Gotcha. The problem seems to be Alice-related. Hourai doesn't want to go as soon as Alice said she would accompany.
> Is Hourai looking at us or aside?
> How's Shanghai faring?

>Only say that part about Alice taking apart Hourai if Alice actually takes apart Hourai.

>Hourai refrains from speaking, as if she's not comfortable with saying whatever she was going to say right now.

>"I'm not sure." Alice replies, "I don't intend on testing it either... There's a good reason why I rarely use my grimoire or the magic within it..."

> Gotcha. The problem seems to be Alice-related. Hourai doesn't want to go as soon as Alice said she would accompany.
> Is Hourai looking at us or aside?
> How's Shanghai faring?

>You have a eureka moment.
>Hourai is looking aside.
>Shanghai is floating near Alice, though it is apparent she does show some concern for Hourai.
>_

[Tashi]

> "I'm also pretty sure that Reimu would yell at ya'. Or kick you. One of two. Or two of two."
> Subtly whisper to Alice, making sure that Hourai won't notice. If that isn't possible, then don't do this:
> "I will take a walk with Hourai. Say that you won't be able to follow. Trust me."
> Get back to our seat as if nothing happened.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "I'm also pretty sure that Reimu would yell at ya'. Or kick you. One of two. Or two of two."

>"Yeah..."

> Subtly whisper to Alice, making sure that Hourai won't notice. If that isn't possible, then don't do this:
> "I will take a walk with Hourai. Say that you won't be able to follow. Trust me."
> Get back to our seat as if nothing happened.

>Alice subtly nods without Hourai noticing and seems to wait for your cue.
>_

[Tashi]

>Please elaborate.

> Oh, right! Like how interested are we in learning Patchouli's elemental magic, or Alice's puppetering magic? What do we know so far of each of them?
> Is there any other 'witch' we might heard of?
> "Yosh!"
> Pat our thighs and stand up.
> " 'kay Hourai. Time to go."

[SerB18]

>Wait we don't have a broom. Are there any magical brooms we could use?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Oh, right! Like how interested are we in learning Patchouli's elemental magic, or Alice's puppetering magic? What do we know so far of each of them?
> Is there any other 'witch' we might heard of?

>You would be happy to "borrow" Patchouli's magic and adapt it to your own style. In fact, you've already done it before with your Non-Directional Laser. As for Alice, well... you feel like she'd throw a hissy fit if she found out you "stole" her magic...

>Byakuren Hijiri is another fellow magician.

> "Yosh!"
> Pat our thighs and stand up.
> " 'kay Hourai. Time to go."

>"I already said I'm not--"
>"Actually, Marisa, I don't think I'll be able to come with you right now... I have other things I just remembered I need to do." Alice cuts in.
>"^{_{I'll meet you outside.}}" Hourai mutters, before beginning to float to the door.

>Wait we don't have a broom. Are there any magical brooms we could use?

>You could try to borrow one from Alice, but it'll likely not be nearly as efficient as yours.
>_

[Tashi]

> How much time until Rinnosuke's from the house of Alice?
> "Huh? Ya' sure you don't want to come?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> How much time until Rinnosuke's from the house of Alice?
> "Huh? Ya' sure you don't want to come?"

>About 5-10 minutes by flight, 30 minutes on foot.

>"I'm sure... just... make sure Hourai stays safe..."
>_

[SerB18]

>Close enough. Lets "borrow" one of those brooms if you know what I mean .

[Tashi]

//I'm debating if we should or not... Because like that, we could have time to talk with Hourai, but I guess that can be done at other moment, like after visiting Kourin.

> "Hey Alice, I will take one of your brooms for quick succession. Can I? Yes? Thank you."
> Proceed to do so.

[SerB18]

> "Hey Alice, I will take one of your brooms for quick succession. Can I? Yes? Thank you."
> Proceed to do so.

//I dont think you should ask permision from Alice. I mean we're Marisa right? We "Borrow" stuff not ask for permision.

[Tashi]

//I am not actually asking for permission. Why? Well, as you can see in the dialogue, Marisa is doing it anyways, without even waiting for Alice's answer. It's just a joke.

> "Hey Alice, I will take one of your brooms for quick succession. Can I? Yes? Thank you."
> Proceed to do so.

>"I-- Uh... Wait--" Alice tries to object as you swipe one from a nearby closet.
>OBTAINED: Alice Broom
>>Not nearly as efficient as your broom, but eh... It'll do...
>_

[Tashi]

> Do we know what 'efficiency' applies to?
> "See ya', then. Don't worry about her. Hourai will be safe with me."
> Wave and exit the house.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Do we know what 'efficiency' applies to?
> "See ya', then. Don't worry about her. Hourai will be safe with me."
> Wave and exit the house.

>You likely won't be able to fly nearly as fast or handle as well on that broom than your own.

>"O-Okay." Alice replies as you leave.

>Hourai is waiting for you in the shade of a nearby tree.
>_

[SerB18]

>"Alright Hourai lets go to Kourin and see whats off with ya!"
>Activate the broom and fly. Hang on tight in case the broom stutters out of control.
