>You are Iku Nagae, Gensokyo's premier messenger and dancer, and the sky has fallen!
>You do not know how, or why, but Bhava-Arga has fallen from the sky and now hovers scant yards over the surface of Gensokyo. This has caused numerous problems. On top of this, Tenshi has run off after stealing the Sword of Hisou. This has made her a primary suspect in the eyes of many. including yourself at one point.
>You are an oarfish youkai in service to the Dragon Palace. As a resident of Bhava-Agra, you bear a status similar to that of a Celestial, and are considered a minor functionary in the Celestial Bureaucracy that makes certain the known universe runs as it should, with all the rights privileges, and duties that come with this position. You are in the service of The Dragon, who reigns quietly as the highest god of this realm, and is among the highest beings in the universe. It regards you well, and you think of it as a guardian.
>While your duties and position suggest your place is in Bhava-Agra, you have a tendency to roam to other places. You somewhat blame this on Tenshi Hinanai, whom you have unfortunately been charged with keeping out of significant trouble, and her tendency to visit Gensokyo whenever possible. You are well-know for your love of dance, and excellence in performing it; oftentimes you've been asked to star in performances given at the Dragon Palace. Others have styled you the Dance Empress, particularly those who would try to claim that title for themselves. You are, as far as you know, well regarded by everyone you know and are welcome practically anywhere in Gensokyo, save perhaps for Higan. The only real black spot in your days is periodically having to deal with Tenshi's chicanery.
>You have been tasked by The Dragon in dealing with this incident. You have taken some stock of the damage surrounding the fall. You have found that Bhava-Agra's food supply has been badly affected by these events; you defeated a tsuchinoko on Minoirko's behalf in hopes of alleviating this. You have delivered messages for Patchouli. You have had bad run ins with Marisa and Reimu; and nearly had one with Sanae. You have found Tenshi hiding in the Ancient City, became convinced of her innocence, convinced her to join you, and have had several spats with her. You've done your best to bond with Tenshi, and you think you've made some progress in that regard. You've been hearing a lot about a search for some thing called the Brocken Spectre. You found and rescued Yamame, who was captured by faeries. You've been given a hit list by Yuugi. You've released Aya from prison after a rather confused encounter. You've discovered that the islands of Bhava-Agra do not cast proper shadows; nor does Nitori, who is now practically dead to the world. You've found Kogasa has had her shadow stolen very recently. You have learned of a mysterious poltergeist roaming the Forest of Magic, and are quite certain she is the shadow thief.
>You are currently trying not to get beaten by the apparent shadow thief, but she seems to have gotten a particular advantage when she changed her own shadow to that of a stone, forcing you to retreat..
>If the tree to the left is far enough to be out of the way of the danmaku, shift in that direction
>Scan for a further tree to shift to, as we move
>If it is not, move far enough past it to be safe of the cloud, then return to the tree
>If she moves in on our exposed shadow during movement, send a spread of danmaku to cover the direction of exposure
>"Do you have no remorse at all for what you've done to Nitori and Kogasa? Regardless of whatever it was you think they knew, they were good, decent people, and now they can barely be called alive!"
>You skip back to the next tree, escaping the danmaku, and glance about for another. You spot a nearby one to your right, but it will involve exposing your shadow for a moment. Looking back to the poltergeist, you another wave of shots coming at you during your moment of distraction. It's a bit difficult to read, but you think you can deal with it without moving.
>She is too busy firing to answer you.
