Chen's Day Out ~ Summer Special!
« on: May 12, 2011, 03:42:34 AM »
You are CHEN YAKUMO and god damn this is the best Vacation you have ever had and you are sure it won't possibly ever end. Along with your trusted companion bunny YUMIGAMI you are relaxing on the beach while MACKETTE enjoys what should be her natural habitat and THE ROC and RYUDAN proceed to wreck half the beach playing volleyball, you're not sure what SEPERATION is up to but it can't possiblohgodthey'reback.

YOU MEAN YOU ARE TOTALLY NOT AT A BEACH BUT IN A SPOOKY ATTIC AND OH GOD QUICK YUMIGAMI CLAW YOUR EYES OUT AND FUCK THROW SOME STATS AT THEM TO DISTRACT THEM JESUS CHRIST GUYS BOOK IT BACK NOW.


>Your current Quests are:

>The Oni Blues
Suika is in a bit of a funk, Yuugi wants you to help her out of it. You talked to her about fixing what SHE messed up. She seems to at least be drinking and partying the hell out.

>Pit to Negative Infinity
The vertical tunnel Parsee used to guard has gone oddly endless. You're not sure why this is... You've learned something absolutely fucking frightening is down there.

>Axe Crazy Marisa
Marisa is currently very very mad with you. In fact, She wants you dead. You probably should fix this. You think this may have something to do with the fact you killed Reimu. You should really do this at some point.

>Keine is a Bitch
Just throwing that out there.

>Green Parasites don't taste too good
There are some very odd curses flying around here. You've got one captured, and are having Patchy and Hina look into it.

>Everybody loves Flan
You've promised to find an umbrella or something related so Flandre can head out with you. Kogasa may have a few clues, but who would possibly know where shes at?

>Potted Yuka
Yuka is a sunflower. This is kind of detrimental to your plans. You're having Patchouli take a look at her.

>Solo Spoiler
Aya is out and about to her antics again, currently attempting to interview THE RAVEN. You're not sure how shes doing with that.

>Observations from the Inside
You've found a relatively undamaged part of the SDM, the observatory. Nue appears to be living there at the moment, and seems to be claiming someone from outside is behind this. You've confirmed she's absolutely correct from Byakuren's Notes, but... How does -she- know this?

>Findmucked
You kind of want your memories back now. You should probably get some definite proof on who got rid of them, and why.

>It's the end of the world as we know it...
Someones been fucking around with Gensokyo for a while now. You think its about time you made them pay, in full spades. You know a word connected to their name or identity somehow. 'CREATE'.

>Nazrin's Mice are Pure Evil
Seriously.

>Kogasa was Dead all along
Someone's been pretending to be Kogasa, and you've found her out. She's trapped you inside the Myouren temple with a bunch of phonies. You...should probably take care of her if you want outta here.

>WHERE IS THAT GOD DAMN TELESCOPE
SERIOUSLY. WHERE IS IT. You know someone is going to give it to you, but god damn when and who!

>Shrinkin' Genso
You need psychiatric help. That's really all there is to it. You should find a psychiatrist as such.

>Your inventory contains:
>Reisen's Old Clothing [Worn]
You're not sure how long Tewi had this hidden, but its not dirty or anything. It's Reisen's classic look.
>Familiar Pentagram [THE ROC]
A pentagram used to contain familiars, while it seems cruel, its actually the equivalent of a 5 star hotel in there.
>Familiar Topaz [YUMIGAMI]
An Topaz cut into a carrot shape, you're not sure how it is in there, but you're sure it must be perfectly comfortable.
>Frog Pin [Worn] [BROKEN]
A slightly Soggy Pin that Sanae treasured.
>SPACE Cape [Worn] [Unremovable]
Its a cape that appears to have space on the inside
>Broken Sword
Half a sword Meira used.
>Nyamune [Using]
Your trusty sword, it is a lot heavier than most other swords around here.
>Length Band
A band that goes to any length, so long as you can reach it.
>Red-Glass Mirror
A mirror completely turned red. It's not a good reflection for color, but good for just reflecting. Its handle is made of red-glass, hence the name.
>Silver Knives [Pair]
A pair of Silver Knives that Sakuya once used, besides the fact silver is a material well-known for its ability to conduct and counter magic, you think there isn't much magic in these anymore.
>Red Strip of Cloth [Important?]
A strip of Red cloth that Mackette's contract used to be in, you feel like you've seen it before...
>Knife Hilt [SEPERATION]
The knife hilt that used to house Seperation's blade, you can use it to call Seperation to your aid.
>Familiar Orb [MACKETTE]
A small crystalline orb, you're not sure if it is a proper container for a contract, but it seems to work well.
>Familiar Sculpture [RYUDAN]
A jade carving of a scale, You figure this one has to be a fancy palace inside, fit for a dragon.
>Higan Stone
A stone that will transport you across the Higan river from anywhere. Seems to vanish every now and then.
>Cybele Gem
A gem approximately the size and shape of a human eye, it is an amethyst with a hollow square inside. You don't imagine it was naturally made. There is a strong enchantment left inside of the gem.
>Familiar Combinae
You've heard of these, often considered a dark art as far as familiar-crafts go. It'll combine the traits of two items to summon or alter a familiar. The cost is usually heavy for the user, and you're not always guaranteed the familiar will HELP you.
>KOGASA TATARA [Broken]
It's well. Kogasa. More specifically, the umbrella that Kogasa 'evolved' from. Being broken, Kogasa is effectively dead.
>Flashlight
A regular flashlight, It's covered in Grue saliva and rather gross but it works.
>Byakuren's Notes
A book of notes from Byakuren herself who apparently learned of a lot of things before they happened. Yeah you don't really get it either.
>Key
A key you found in Byakuren's Study. Unknown what it goes to.
>Glass Piece (Circular)
Almost like some kinda lens. It's got some magic in it, You dunno what it does though.

Okay. Ahem. So. Now that that is over with...

You are CHEN YAKUMO, and you are currently investigating the MYOUREN TEMPLE, which has been taken over by evil baloon kogasas who have managed to blind you through ninja trickery with your Giant Rabbit Companion and you're locked in with no way out and there is still something in the attic and wow it's been a while we may need a fullscale recap here. Let's get to that.

You are CHEN YAKUMO and you are currently in Gensokyo, post THE INCIDENT, in which SHE, she being Yukari Yakumo who is now referred to as such out of your distaste for her, essentially killed off the major powerbase of Gensokyo. This includes almost the entirety of Chireiden, The Scarlet Devil Mansion, Moriya Shrine, Eientei, And so on. You, against your will by SHIKIGAMI POSSESSION, helped her, killing Hong Meiling, Reimu Hakurei, Byakuren Hijiri, others you don't particularly care to recall at the moment, and EATING Nazrin. In the following years, Gensokyo has declined with the loss of the Hakurei Shrinemaiden, causing the barrier to weaken and leak the magic of Gensokyo, making it harder to do almost everything, such as fly, something which now eludes most of Gensokyo's population. Organization fell into certain youkai banding together along racial lines and everyone openly fighting and using strength to get what they want. You, yourself, were left trapped in a CAVE to keep HER preoccupied, while the rest of the world thinks HER dead. These 24 hours is perhaps the only time you may have away from her for ages, and you've devoted it all to helping restore Gensokyo. Currently, you've done pretty well with your sucesses, freeing the Hakurei Shrine from an unexpected invader and reinstating a new shrinemaiden, convincing the humans to step out from the barrier covering their village and rejoin gensokyo proper, and solving some issues that have been haunting the populace. But you still have much to do, as now you've learned that THE INCIDENT may be part of a greater plot from the outside to harm gensokyo, though your source is shoddy, and much is still amiss in the land of Gensokyo, as in general a certain GREEN CURSE seems to be infecting and manipulating the populace...

So you decided to go here and fuck around and get blinded. Great job there, Kitty!

Either way, you are currently in a maze in the middle of the Myouren Temple's attic, which is filled with Deadly NINJAGASA, which are kogasa decked out in Ninja gear. Including black eggs, as you learned the hard way of taking one right in the face. You kind of miss seeing, it made things way easier.

You are currently BLIND, but generally uninjured with your eye wounds covered up with that red cloth you got Mackette from. Your bunny companion YUMIGAMI is currently leading you around, but you're at a fork, What do you d-

>Listen! Do we hear anything in any particular direction?
>Take a sniff in the air. Any odors of note?

Oh right.

> You make use of your fully functional KITTY EARS to attempt to hear out if in any of the following paths (Left, right, or forward) there are any sounds. Unfortunately, the Ninjagasa seem to actually have the ninja thing down, and you can't really pinpoint which of the ways any small sounds are coming from. Worth a try, atleast!

> You take a sniff, but this entire place has the same musty-old attic smell. God damn.

Now then, WHAT DO YOU DO?

>

(Suggested reading before making commands is to read the old CHEN'S DAY OUT threads, which do a much better job of recalling the events. Being the events themselves.)

"Right. I mean Left is the Right way and oh god damnit, lets just get going."

You both take the left path, which seems to curve around towards where the forward path would be, Yumigami stops you just before you reach there.

"'Ey, boss. There are two of those baloonbrellas, they're aiming what appears to be giant fireworks down the corridor. We're behind them though, What should we do with 'em?"

You feel Yumigami quietly nod before slipping away for a moment. You don't even hear him before he comes back. "Taken care of. It seems like they just disappear on impact, no matter how light. As did their fireworks, sadly."

You nod to Yumigami to proceed, but be pretty careful about it. You both move slowly, prepared for a possibly ambush.

>If we split to humat/cat form, can we see from the separated cat form somehow? (We can do that, right?)

You midway decide to see if splitting forms can allow you to see. Luckily, it appears your cat form isn't blinded- though your human form still is. It's also capable of seeing in the dark as well as you were before, so you're able to notice the two Ninjagasa ambushing you in time to warn Yumigami.

You attempt to pounce with your cat half, but well... You're not really used to the whole splitting thing and end up both pouncing.

Your human half ends up pounching the ninjagasa straight through a sword stroke, coming out on the other side completely unharmed.

You're really not sure how many times you're going to be saying 'you didn't expect that' today.

Your cat spies the other ninjagasa taken care of already, Yumigami hasn't appeared to notice you just passed through a sword and bodyslammed a ninjagasa.

You attempt to mimic gestures but you can't recall which gestures!

> "It'd be nice if I got my eyesight back soon."

You continue to the door without any further issues.

Now that you're here, you can actually kind of feel something terrible is on the other side of this door. Something familiar, and yet... not familiar at all.

This is of course clearly rambling. It's not like there'll be a boss fight on the other side of this door or anything, that'd be ridiculous. This isn't an RPG.

None the less, Are you prepared to open this door?

You psyche yourself the hell up. This is going to be something. Something bad.

>Move out~

You head inside the room. Your cat half is instantly assailed by GREEN. The entire room is glowing a sickly shade of green, exactly the same as the curse you collected earlier.

The source appears to be some blonde...girl in the middle of the room. You can barely make out colors, but you know she is NO ONE YOU HAVE MET BEFORE. Her clothes are torn to be almost indistinguishable scraps of cloth that cover her, and... there are strings of curses leaking out from her all over the room. She's staring right at you, with a look mixing annoyance and pain.

You don't think you can just back out now, and the moment you think about it, you notice the ninjagasa army barreling down the maze towards the door.

You shut the door rather hurriedly. Luckily, Ninjagasa have one true enemy. DOORS.

You then proceed to ask her what's going on in here. She answers within some kind of pained scream. You...can't really make out what she's saying.
