~BGM: Life's Beginning~
Welcome....To The Land of Dreams and Illusions...

Gensokyo.

In this wondrous and mysterious land where legends and myths are real, you will meet many other youkai, some like yourself, others not.
Will you be a hero(ine), or one of those unsavory sorts who causes incidents?
It is all in your hands, dear players, for this is...


YOUKAI QUEST!

~BGM: A New Star Is Born!~
You are Hibachi (http://i549.photobucket.com/albums/ii372/Daizengar1991/Hibachi-Suit.jpg), newborn Nekomata.
You've awoken in [Mayohiga] with little memory of your life as a normal cat.
You have also met another Nekomata like you, Chen.
You have also experienced a headache for the first time, as well as inadvertently causing Chen to get one too.
And you have also learned how to use Danmaku somewhat, and met one of Chen's friends, The Darkness youkai Rumia!
After meeting Rumia, you've discovered her..."eating habits".
After the escapades with Rumia, you've had a restful, if boring, sleep. And you've also met Yukari and thanked her for the note!
Shortly after that, You met CidNitori, and are currently aboard the Airship she built, you've also received a gift of three blank spellcards!
After landing at the Youkai Mountain, you met Momiji, and had a 'close' encounter with her, and a weird blur seems to have caught it on film!
Momiji has also given you one of those blank spellcards!
Not too far from the Outpost, you ran into a trio of White Kedama, and after defeating two of them, and heavily damaging the third, it became a dangerous Red Kedama!
But luckily, you were saved by someone calling themselves a Kamen Rider, whatever that is.
You have also reached the Tengu Village Gate, and gained entry to the Tengu Village!
After some walking, you came across some fairies arguing over something, and some Kedama seemed to be keeping people from getting too close, how thoughtful of the little fluffballs!
And when the fairies flew off, the Kedama departed too, except for one, A Jr. Kedama who seemed to want to follow you on your travels!
As you walked to the Shrine, you decided to name it Ponga. And not too long afterwards, you reached the Shrine and met the Frog Goddess you heard about.
After sharing lunch with her, and learning a bit about Kamen Riders, she directed you to the 'elevator' behind the Shrine, but on the way there you bumped into that Green-Haired Shrine Maiden people told you about!
She was pretty mean, she even threw you into Momiji! Apparently she always acts like that around this time.
According to Momiji, she always goes off to fight the Red-White when she gets like this.
You've also survived an all-out duel with Kanako Yasaka, the Wind Goddess of Moriya Shrine!
But the fight took it's toll on you, you wound up falling unconscious for three whole days!
After a few months of recovery and training with Kanako, and more than a few run-ins with Angry Sanae, you finally mastered Flight.
It's been a long while since you became a youkai...So many things have happened...You don't know what the future holds, but it's sure to be amazing!
Later on, you made it to Hakugyoukurou, and met it's enigmatic ruler, Yuyuko Saigyouji. As well as her Gardener/Personal Chef/Bodyguard, Youmu Konpaku. Who also taught you a few tricks to use in cooking, and even gave you an outfit to wear when you cook!
Strangely enough, a bizarre creature called a Nozuchi appeared from out of nowhere and started stirring up a ruckus. You were able to resolve that incident rather quickly, and even made a new friend in the process! That friend is the very same Nozuchi who was causing a fuss, you've chosen to refer to her as Izanami, but she doesn't seem to like it much.
Later on that day, you ran into Rumia again, who was actually sent to find you! She led you to the entrance of the Bamboo Forest of The Lost, where a battle had broken out!
As it turns out, Cirno was there, fighting the Kamen Rider, a girl who was singing, and a girl who was literally on fire.
The shocking events came after you arrived, as the girl who was on fire got impaled by a giant icicle! But the strange thing is that she just exploded after that, and when the flames and smoke cleared, she was completely unharmed!
After that happened, you were engaged in combat by Cirno, and after nearly getting frozen, a strange power awoke within you, allowing you to fire blasts of ice too! But after a while of using it, you couldn't fire anymore.
But you got caught by the backlash of the flaming girl's attacks that were being used to break an exit out of the ice dome that had formed around the battlefield that you and Cirno were fighting in.
But instead of just a simple blast, the power that you discovered earlier didn't just fire a simple fire blast, but a massive torrent of flames!
This was enough to end the fight, and break open a path out of the Ice Dome.
But as it turned out, Cirno wasn't actually Cirno! But rather, some weird snowman-looking creature who left you with a few parting words about how that's not the last you've seen of it, and that it's boss will beat you.
After delivering that threat(?) it looked to almost crystallize as it faded away.
After the fighting was over, the girl with the fire was revealed to be called Mokou, and the girl who was singing was named Mystia, who owns a grill cart.
You also met the previously mentioned Wriggle at the grill cart! But you're not sure if Wriggle's a he or a she, which is perplexing.
After discussing plans for the next day at the cart over grilled lamprey and drinks(which were both on the house), you came to the conclusion along with everyone else that the next day was the best time to investigate the Misty Lake.
After doing so, you found the Iceberg Fortress, but before you could enter, you had to face Black Frost again. And this time, he had backup.
But with everyone's help, you knocked 'em all down! You did get the feeling that it wasn't the last you've seen of Black Frost though.
After defeating them, you landed at the Iceberg Fortress to find the doors smashed in already. You later found out from the Pongmeister himself that he busted them down. "Door in way, me smash door. Nooo problem."
After exploring the Fortress, you found out that Dai was being held in the dungeon, and you needed four keys to unlock the door to let her loose.
The first key was found near the door, which was easy enough. The second key was in the wreckage of a table.
While the third was considerably more difficult to procure, having been guarded by three strange suits of armor far larger than the average Human or Youkai.
After defeating those, they seemed to have dropped the key, and merged into a rather disturbing statue that flew off. You figured you'll have to look into that someday.
After obtaining the third key, you moved to confront the mastermind behind all this fuss right now. King Frost. During the battle, Ponga, now in a humanoid form, busted out of the floor, and jumped into the fray. Shortly after that, you decided to investigate the passageway he left behind.
At the bottom of it all, you found a dark, catacomb-like area, the Fortress Undercroft. Inside, you encountered another cat who looked like you, sounded like you, acted like you, and even smelled like you. She even claimed to be you! Shortly after this however, something...'unsettling', a Frost Wraith, broke through the wall of the hallway you and the other cat were in. It was then that she demonstrated something entirely startling. She knew how your ability worked.
Eventually, you procured a strange pair of shoes during the battle, and decided to take a risk, and use them in the fight, leading to the spellcard you used going crazy. After it finally died down enough to run out of juice, you found that the Frost Wraith was seemingly vaporized. And in the aftermath of the battle itself, you found a strange dagger that always remains cold to the touch. After parting ways with the Mysterious Cat, you flew back up the shaft just in time to witness Ponga finishing the job that you and the others had started.
After the King Frost was defeated though, it crumbled away to reveal Cirno at the core, she was holding the fourth and final key needed to free Dai!
So with Cirno and the others in tow, you opened the Fortress Dungeons, and broke Daiyousei out of the cell she was trapped in.
It wasn't until after which, she informed you that she could have just tried to die, so as to respawn elsewhere. Though that wouldn't have freed Cirno from her situation, so she opted to stay behind with Cirno. So you ended up solving her problem for her, which was nice of you! Because of that, Dai regards you as a possible friend.
Cirno, being Cirno, doesn't care about what ifs, and just goes full-throttle about things regarding life. Which includes making new friends. Though for some reason, that noise you heard when you made a link with Mokou didn't happen. Maybe there's still some unresolved stuff that needs to be done?
Eventually, you all exited the Fortress and retired to Mystia's grill.


~Inventory~

This stylish-looking White Apron and Green Kimono set looked brown when you first saw it, but you blinked and it was green like all the others.
Cooking Hat(Unequipped)

Yukari gave you this neat little hat at the same time as the Cloak, apparently it was made as part of a set to go with the Suit.
Classy Headgear (Unequipped)

Yukari's Note (Key Item)
A note that was addressed to you, written by Yukari.

These blank spellcards were given to you by CidNitori, as well as Momiji, but you can't use them until you have them engraved somehow.

Momiji's Newspaper (Key Item)
A newspaper with a picture of a green-haired woman on the front, who could she be?
Froggy's Iron Ring (Equipped as Accessory)

Athletic Wrappings(Equipped on Arms)
A roll of Athletic Bandages that people who play sports often wear, it has a caricature of a drunk-looking girl with horns on it. Maybe they belong to whoever's face that is?
They seem to have a strange effect when you equip them.

Macca(Total: 224)
These weird coins were given to you by Ran, they were helpful in resolving the Nozuchi incident. They must have some kind of power, but you can't feel anything.
Elegant Chopsticks (Key Item)

Tengu Village Passport (Key Item)
This is a Civilian Passport for the Tengu Village! Now you can go around there without an escort! But since it says Civilian, that must mean there's still places you can't get on your own.


~Spellcards~
Soldier Cat ~ 「Felyn Lance」 (Mana Cost 2)
This is the first Spellcard you unlocked, It fires a barrage of Laser Shots directly forward. You get the feeling Yukari would be proud.

Nine Lives Buster -Focus- (Mana Cost 6)
This spellcard unlocked itself as you were fighting the fake Cirno for a second time, it fires a fierce barrage of large and medium-sized shots. But like your other card, it's forward-restricted as well. However, it has a much larger area of effect.
Nine Lives Buster -Spread- (Mana Cost: 6)
This is the alternate form of Galvein Buster, it fires intermittent waves of small shots, a rotating three-way of normal shots, and a spiraling five-way of bubble shots that loop in on each other. This spellcard is an Area of Effect Spellcard!

~Battle Skills(Non-Danmaku)~

-Support Defense-
This skill allows Hibachi to cover for an ally, and take hits in their place. But it breaks once she goes below 40%, so be careful using this!
It reduces incoming damage by Half, and adds a 30% chance to graze the attack entirely!

~Known Danmaku Types~
Kunai(Spread)
Pellet(Aimed)
Laser(Javelin-Shaped/Aimed)
Bubble(Medium/Shotgun)
Arrowhead(Shotgun)

~Quests~
Thanks for "Note"ing [COMPLETE!]
You have a strange note, and you don't know who wrote it, but you feel you should thank whoever it is.
Recently you've discovered that it was Written by someone named Yukari, as well as meeting the Chen the note talked about, it seems Chen knows her .
You've also met Ran Yakumo, Chen's master, it seems she's something called a shikigami, and Ran is this Yukari person's shikigami, which makes Chen a shikigami's shiki..gami...ow.
You've finally managed to thank Yukari for the note, don't you feel good about yourself?

Ice Crusher [COMPLETE!]
Word is that Cirno's been acting strange and attacking anyone going near the Misty Lake, and since she's been doing that, nobody can get any fish there!
This problem must be dealt with, for the sake of your lunch!
So the Cirno that's been causing trouble was a fake afterall.
If she's been being impersonated, then something must've happened to her...But what?
You've learned that Cirno was acting like she was being chased by something, and disappeared shortly after, only to show up again causing trouble.
But that was the fake, so the real one's still missing.
After resolving to strike the following morning, you did so. And were faced with many powerful foes.
Eventually, you rescued Dai and Cirno, and came out of this whole ordeal with two shiny new items that you have no idea about!
You also encountered the OTHER YOU, who claims to be you. How the hell does that even work?!
"Magic dear, magic." ......Oh.

Mountain of FaithFun
According to CidNitori, the Tengu on the Mountain have lots of fun things to do!
So it's your task to find out what!
Apparently the tengu and kappa busy themselves with playing Shogi in their off time, but maybe there's more they do than just that?

Kitty Hawk [COMPLETE!]
According to CidNitori, there's someone on the Mountain that can help you learn to fly!
You've survived the duel with Kanako, there's a good chance she'll be the one to teach you how to fly!

Of Kedama And Fairies
Momiji said that Fairies keep Kedama as pets sometime, so the best person to ask what Kedama eat would be a fairy!
And Suwako said that Fairies are Embodiments of Nature itself, so they know all about Kedamas.
Now all that's left is to find a fairy that's willing to tell you! And after rescuing Dai and Cirno, you have!
Although, Ponga's humanoid now, so you don't really need to know. But you still want to know anyways on account of just plain wanting to.

The Ole Fishin' Hole
Mystia needs a new fishing spot since her old one got all gunked up from all the fights that've been happening lately.
Being a cat, this makes you the purr-fect person for the job! Maybe Nitori would have some input that'll help too, Kappas are 'intrinsically linked to all things aqueous'.
Or so Yukari says. You think it's just a fancy way of saying 'They like water'.

Keepin' it Cool!
Mystia needs a way to keep cold things like Ice Cream in stock easier, and Cirno's not gonna be too helpful with that.
Maybe you can pull a few strings to make things easier for her!

The Hunt for Red OctoberRare Ingredients
Mystia's been on the hunt for new things she can cook with, and has wanted to get some good from the Mountain in particular.
But the Tengu keep scaring her off! Maybe you know someone who can help with that!

~Subquests~
Ancient Relics
According to Yukari, there were two powerful people in Gensokyo who haven't been seen for a long time.
She mentioned that they've left some of their possessions behind, and that a puppeteer might be able to help you find some of them.
According to Rumia, the Black-White might be another lead on this matter. Rumia also mentioned a shop on the outskirts of the Forest of Magic, and that the owner of that shop might also be able to help.
So far you've got three leads, a Puppeteer, who resides in the Forest of Magic. The Black-White, who also resides there. And a merchant who lives on the Forest's outskirts.
You'd think that since they can all be found in the Forest of Magic, that maybe they might know each other!

The Statue's Mystery
After fighting the three Armors in the Iceberg Fortress, a strange statue was left that has an entirely unsettling presence. As well as not being easy on the eyes in the least.
But why did it appear? And where did it go?

Smooth Moves ~ Rank @#$%&!
"These moves originated from a famous performer from the outside world, how you learned them is unknown, but you can use them almost as well as he was said to."

Confusion Resistance ~ Rank E
"Even the strongest of beings can fall prey to confusion, try not to fall into it too much yourself."

Wildcard [Weapon]: Rank Novice
This skill measures how effective you are at applying the effects of Wildcard to any weapon you might be using at the time.

>"Blacksmith's shop?" Tilt head.
>"...Maybe we can ask Yukari to get one~?"
>Bow toward Youmu. "Thank you~"
>Attempt to perform 'smooth moves' we saw from the dream long time ago.
>You ask what a blacksmith's shop is, and Izanami/The Nozuchi looks kinda happy. "...It's a place where you can make things out of metal..."
>You mention that maybe Yukari can get one, or knows more, and Izanami/The Nozuchi smiles brightly.
>OHGODTHAT'SCUTE.
>You bow to Youmu and thank her. "Don't mention it, since you're a friend of Lady Yukari, who in turn is a friend of Lady Yuyuko, it's only natural."
>You decide to try that dance you dreamt about from a while back, but you only serve to get yourself tangled in the kimono. Maybe there's something you're missing..?
>But at least you get a laugh out of everyone. "...Heehee~..." "well, that was...interesting. To say the least. "Fwahahahahahaha!"

~Skill Updated: Smooth Moves, Youkai Strength(from lifting the food)~

>"Ke, Youmu O dearsay, thank you, that was quite an experience here~"
>"PONGA! You're the best! *Huge hug*"
>Yea keep the food.. don't hug him while he's carrying it.
Oh whatever I will call the "little devil" Hebichi, since it fits more yes?...
>Back at Hebichi "Sho... that would make sense, Nya, but blacksmithing? You are somekind interested into those things hmm? Well there's one at the human village, and possibly something similar at Kappa's place, we can visit when we get home *smile*. I hope you will come along with the other house members though.. like Chen here for example~"
>Munch on that food, Nyan, oh.. don't forget to get chopsticks... We could do that while flying to not waste time Nya?
>Anyways, "Aritgato, Youmu-Shama, and Yuyuko-shama" *bow*
On my Berzul's note.. those things don't happen all at the same time, so it's possible to Phrase them one at the time.. since the last response was kinda long...
>Maybe... hmmm...
>IZANAMI HAS SKILLS WITH A SWORD?! OH MY GOD THAT IS SO COOL AHHHH
>"Why do you need a blacksmith?"
> Pat ponga on the head. "Thanks... but how?"
>Imagine Ponga cooking like a super awesome robot ninja. Begin squeeing.
Also parser, Dont forget any updates to out abilities (if any). And Berzul, I think the Nozuchi's name has kinda already been decided as Izanami, since ya know, we already called her that. We dont want the OMGSHESSOCUTESTOPBEINGCUTEMYHEAAAAART nozuchi to get confused in an adorble fashion right?
>You mention to Youmu that it's been quite an experience, and she nods in agreement.
>Maybe she's good with a sword..? You think about this and barely repress a slight squee.
>You hug Ponga and ask him how he made the food, he just squirms a little in what you assume to be one of his shrugs.
>You imagine him cooking it as a ninja-robo. ...Damn, that's badass.
>You already took the food from him, it's currently in your left hand!
>You ask Izanami/The Nozuchi why a blacksmith's shop, and she...wait, is she BLUSHING?! "...I like to...uh..make things out of metal...."
>You mention that maybe Hebichi is a better name, and she smiles. "...I think I like that name better..."
>Damn that's cute...Sure isn't fun when you're on the receiving end is it? Chen of course, is getting a laugh out of it, she could wake the dead with all that laughing. In fact, she has!
>Yuyuko pokes her head out of the pan in a rather bleary, yet content way. "Ufufufufufu~....That was a nice meal and nap~....Here, as thanks for preparing the food, I'll give you these."
>A small rectangular box appears in front of you, carried by a small ghost. You open the box to find a pair of finely crafted Chopsticks!
~Item Get: Elegant Chopsticks~
These were given to you by Yuyuko as thanks for the food you and Youmu made, you've been needing something like this for a long time!
>You mention that there might be things like that at the Human Village, and probably something like that at the Kappa Village, but she seems unimpressed. "....I'd rather work on things like that on my own....too many cooks spoil the rice and such...."
>You then ask if she'll come with you and everyone else, and she nods. "...I already told you I'd help you any way I can didn't I...?"
>You thank Youmu and Yuyuko, then bow politely. "Don't worry about it." "Ufufufufu~ I should be the one thanking you~"
>You decide to use the new chopsticks you got from Yuyuko to eat the food Ponga made for you.
>....Whoa. That's good food! You can't even keep yourself from devouring it on the spot!
~Item Lost: Ponga's(?) Home Cooking~
~Item Get: Empty Dish~
>Youmu then takes the dish from you, rather impressed at how fast you ate.
~Item Lost: Empty Dish~
>Chen then taps you on the shoulder, hey, she's flying. "Ran-sama and Yukari-sama have already left, let's get going!"
>Oh hey, Hebichi can fly too! So you lift off too, and say your goodbyes to Yuyuko and Youmu, and make for Mayohiga with Chen, Ponga, and your new friend, Hebichi.

>As you fly along, you notice that the mansion you passed earlier has gotten considerably noisier. Not only is there loud music, but loud voices too. There must be a party going on there.



Parser's Corner: It took us a while, but we're finally on thread 2! Thanks you guys...I couldn't have gotten this far without you...Sorry for the wall of text. :V

I will post some things here, for everyone to see..

">You mention that maybe Hebichi is a better name, and she smiles. "...I think I like that name better..."" is not in command, but in comments, for others ok?
">You then ask if she'll come with you and everyone else, and she nods. "...I already told you I'd help you any way I can didn't I...?" I mentioned, get along, not come, as in living under the same roof...

Wait, let me recap.
Izanami is now Hebichi.
She likes to make things out of metal.
We might learn a new shot type (and since only main protags get more then one shot type does that mean...?)
And we've fallen prey to adorble. I really love this story.

>Nothing much to do but fly home...
>Can we ask Yukari-shama later if she wants to gap in a blacksmith; whatever that is?
>Also, Ask Chen-shama if she can point out where the Misty Lake is. You know, to kick Cirno around a bit and all that.

Also why dont we have a danmaku dodging/grazing skill yet we must have one or else we cant beat cirno ahhhh

">You mention that maybe Hebichi is a better name, and she smiles. "...I think I like that name better..."" is not in command, but in comments, for others ok?
">You then ask if she'll come with you and everyone else, and she nods. "...I already told you I'd help you any way I can didn't I...?" I mentioned, get along, not come, as in living under the same roof...
Well, that's how I thought the commands went, so don't blame me, I'm just the Parser.
>You tell Chen that there must be a party there, and set out the idea of going to see what's going on, but suddenly something nearly hits you!
>It didn't look like Danmaku though...maybe someone threw it? The possible party certainly does sound a lot more rowdy... "Maaaybe it's not such a good idea afterall?"
>You feel inclined to agree with Chen.

>Glare at Youmu for laughing at us!
>...Pounce Myon, and lick it clean.
>Blush at Hebichi from all that cuteness.
>"What do you like to make~?"
>You'd glare at Youmu for laughing, but you've already left! And by that token, pouncing Myon's out of the question too.
>You blush a fair bit and ask Hebichi what she likes to make, and she seems to shrug. "....It depends on what materials I can use..."

Wait, let me recap.
Izanami is now Hebichi.
She likes to make things out of metal.
We might learn a new shot type (and since only main protags get more then one shot type does that mean...?)
And we've fallen prey to adorble. I really love this story.
>Nothing much to do but fly home...
>Can we ask Yukari-shama later if she wants to gap in a blacksmith; whatever that is?
>Also, Ask Chen-shama if she can point out where the Misty Lake is. You know, to kick Cirno around a bit and all that.
Also why dont we have a danmaku dodging/grazing skill yet we must have one or else we cant beat cirno ahhhh
That's about right.
And dodging/grazing is a compound of danmaku mastery and flight. It's unlisted because it's simple enough.
>Yeah, may as well keep moving along, that party's a little too rowdy right now, sounds like a few fights have broken out too...
>Maybe we can ask Yukari later about Blacksmiths and stuff..
>You ask Chen which way the Lake is, and she points in a direction that seems to be to the southwest. "It's that way. ....You're gonna go after Cirno aren't you?"

>You then mention that it'd be nice if someone told you what was going on at the Mansion, and Chen nods. "It's probably one of those parties the Prismriver Sisters hold every so often. They get more than a little loud around this time of night."
>You say that you should at least fly past from a distance, and Chen shrugs. "Maybe, but it'd take some skilled flying to avoid all the stuff that's being tossed around."
>You know that almost everyone in Gensokyo has a power, but you never found out what Momiji's was. Maybe you should find out sometime.
>It's close to night. As you recall hearing the other day, it's going to be a new moon tonight. Maybe you'll run into Rumia again?
>You say that no matter how strong Cirno is, you can take her on with the help of Ponga and Hebichi. Hebichi of course, blushes profusely. And you just grin widely at her.
>You then ask her to tell you and Chen more about herself, and she fidgets...and...wow, you didn't even know it was possible for someone to blush that much!

>You comment on how the party's pretty weird, and Chen nods. "It's because of their music. The music played by each individual sister has different effects on people. One plays music that makes folks depressed, the other plays music that makes folks more lively. I can only assume she's the one leading the band around this time in the party."
>You grab Chen's hands, and launch into a rather heartfelt and heroic speech, complete with MANLY TEARS. But Chen just bops you over the head. "Yeesh, you must be getting all befuddled by the music if you're acting that sappy."

>You ask Chen how you can find out someone's ability, and she looks somewhat confused. "Well, are you talking about ability as in skill? or are you talking about Powers? Like Yukari-sama's Power over Boundaries."

>You then hear a rather familiar voice. "Heeey~! I haven't seen you in a long time!" You'd know that voice anywhere. And turning to face it, you see that girl you met a while back. What was her name, Rumia? Yeah, that's it.

>She seems pretty cheerful this time around, maybe she's had something to eat already? Though her dress doesn't show any traces of anything, aside from a few stray bark fragments. Seems she's bumped into more than her fair share of trees recently.

Mystia's helping Wriggle out too, but they're not enough...Where the heck did she get all that power?!" Rumia rubs her head in a frazzled manner.
>Uh-oh. That doesn't sound good, Cirno's made her move it seems. Chen and Hebichi seem visibly worried. "....You should go, since you were the one called for. I'll keep an eye on Hebichi-nya, I'll make sure she gets home with me."

>Yes, Ponga's nearby, as he's always been since the day you met him.
>You ask if they're scared of Cirno, and Chen shakes her head. "Fact of the matter is, it seems that they sent Rumia here to get you. I don't think they intend to get many others involved in it." "That seems to be the speed of things."

>Rumia flies off in a direction that seems to be somewhere between the Lake, and the Youkai Mountain, you follow suit, being sure to take Ponga along with you.

>On the way there, Ask Rumia if she knows anything about the "Ancient Relics".
>As you fly along, you ask her about any relics she might have seen. "You might try the black-white's shop over at the Forest of Magic, or that one guy's shop on that forest's outskirts, they might have something like those things you're after. Maybe you should check in on that after all this is dealt with?"

>"Can you give me any tips about fighting Cirno?"
>You ask Rumia if she has any tips for fighting Cirno. "Yeah, don't let her touch you. She can flash-freeze whatever she touches. For most Youkai it's just a slap on the wrist for the most part, but you might not be so lucky."

~Sub-Quest Updated!~
>You remark that you must be close, but Rumia doesn't respond. Looks like she's too focused on her danmaku.
>You get ready for a fight!

>After more than a few close calls, you manage to land at the site of the battle.
>Currently, there's four people engaged in a battle....Make that five, Rumia just jumped into the fray.
>One of the participants, a girl with a blue dress and weird wings, is flinging about large shards and balls made of ice, you gather that this one must be Cirno. She doesn't seem normal though, you've encountered many fairies, but her Presence seems kinda....different. Distorted maybe? Would that be the right word?
>Another seems to be...singing? It's kinda hard to see her though, for some reason you can't seem to get a lock on her. Maybe that's Mystia? You remember being told that she was a singer while you were learning to fly.
>One of the others is...Hey, it's that weirdo who called themselves a Kamen Rider! But the helmet's pretty beat up, there's a big hole in it showing a green eye, green hair, and...is that an antenna? Wonder if that's Wriggle?
>The other person is a complete unknown. Whoever she is, she's on fire...literally! From what you can make out past the flames, it looks like she's got really long, white hair. And...is she wearing pants..? They are a nice shade of red though...Wait, a white shirt too? Could this be the Red-White you've heard about? But she sure doesn't look like a Miko though...maybe it's her day off or something? She certainly seems unfazed by the flames, that's for sure.
>She doesn't seem to be taking things all that seriously though, she's just occasionally flinging weird danmaku that look almost like embers, or small fireballs! And unsurprisingly, most of the ice shots that get close to her melt instantly.
>But one of them actually manages to tear right through her, causing a small explosion!
>But when the flames clear some, she's seen to be left completely unharmed! ...Aside from a gaping hole in her shirt. "Come on icecube, be serious! Like a little thing like death's gonna stop me!"
>...She's kinda spirited...
>Of course, the girl who's been chucking around all that ice then notices you! "....!"

>But Cirno seems unfazed by this, and just holds up a hand in front of her. Shockingly enough, one of the shots that hits her hand freezes instantly! And what's more troubling, the shots that hit the frozen shot also freeze instantly! pretty soon you're nearly hemmed in by your own frozen shots!
>You keep your only spellcard ready in case you have to use it.

> Throw in a crap load of lasers for good measure.
>You decide to switch over to lasers, and that seems to work a bit better, as they shatter the frozen shots into smaller shots, making it harder for Cirno to avoid damage! "...!?"
>However, it also makes it harder for you too!
>You've got your spellcard ready just in case, but it seems that between your barrage of lasers, and the stray shots you created by shattering your own frozen shots with said lasers, you'd say Cirno's having a tough time avoiding everything.

Close quarters melee stuff is out because she can freeze us with a touch.

~Tutorial Corner: Status Effects~
Sometimes you'll come across foes that can use more than just Danmaku, they can use bonus effects that do a variety of things.
  • Slow Freeze: A light Damage over Time that also slows your reaction time.
  • Lily Pollen: A small DoT that disrupts your physical attack power somewhat.
  • Shaken Mind: A status effect that disrupts your overall offensive capabilities a fair bit.
There are more status effects than just these three, but be on guard all the same!

>You pet Ponga some, he seems happy that you got through the fight relatively unharmed for the most part. "Let's get going okay?"
>Wow, impatient isn't she?

>You tell her to lead the way, and lead she does.
>You of course, follow suit. The funny thing is, now that you've got a good look at her, sometimes you see the image of a phoenix surrounding her. Weird.
>You ask her what was with that whole thing she pulled with the getting skewered and stuff, and she pulls a small box-looking thing out of the pocket of her shirt and starts hitting it into one of her hands, which makes the box-thingy produce something slim. Looks kinda like a stick sorta... "I'm what they call a 'Hourai Immortal'. You know anything about the Hourai Elixir? Well, I drank some. One drop, and you'll never know age. Two drops, and you'll never become ill again. Three drops, and you get to be where I am, True Imortality."
>She then lights the stick thing on fire and...puts it in her mouth? Immortals are weird. Why would you want to walk around with a flaming stick-thing in your mouth?
>After a few seconds, she breathes out a puff of smoke. "Damn, I needed one of those after everything that happened today. First the moon princess sends her hired goons after me while I'm having breakfast, then the Icecube causes a fuss."
>Wow....if she's Immortal, how long you you think she's been around...?
>Maybe you've solved everything to do with Cirno? But that still leaves the whole matter about that other fairy Chen mentioned largely unsolved, maybe if you find her you can shed some more light on things?
>And we're walking, and we're walking...

>After a while, Mokou leads you down the path in the Bamboo that the Ice Dome was in front of, and in the distance, you see a cart with lights hanging from it, and there's a familiar blob of darkness near it. Doesn't look like the people there have noticed you and Mokou yet though.
>Smells like there's food there! Now that you think about it, you're a lot hungrier than you remember being...
>In addition to the smells of food, you also smell some kind of bird, sparrow maybe? As well as a faint scent of insect, the same one from back on the mountain when you fought the Red Kedama in fact.

>You're looking forward to sitting down to a nice meal. And plus, it's at one of those movable food carts you've read about too!
>You comment that it smells good, and Mokou nods. "Yeah, Normally she sets up shop closer to the Forest of Magic though. But since it's close to the lake where the Icecube lives, she's taken to setting up shop here instead. Not that she got much business aside from Youkai to begin with, so moving out here neither helped, nor hurt it."

>You ask if you'll be heading to get some food, and Mokou chuckles. "Kid, call me Mokou. As for the food, that's where we're headed ain't it?"
>That smell's definitely the Kamen Rider! Now that you think about it...Wasn't the Kamen Rider fighting the Fake Cirno too?
>You hover over to the cart while shouting to the Kamen Rider! ...Waaait...That isn't the Kamen Rider at all! It's just some...Okay, to be honest, you can't tell if it's a guy or a girl. But whoever it is, it smells like the Kamen Rider. 'O-oi! I'm no Kamen Rider! ...Though they are cool..."
>How weird, this person even sounds like the Kamen Rider.

~BGM: Night-Sparrow's Grill~
>The person tending the grill looks up at you. Hey, it's the girl who was singing during the fight earlier! "Ah, you're Chen and Rumia's friend Hibachi right? They've told us about you. I'm Mystia, Mystia Lorelei."
She then nods towards the green-haired...whatever. "Wriggle here was the first one to end up fighting Cirno....Say, where is she anyhow? Since you're here, you must've won right?" The person indicated to be Wriggle just grumbles slightly.
>She then places a plate of Rice with a few skewers of some kind of fishy-smelling meat in front of a seat, along with a small bottle of something next to it, and motions for you to sit there.
>Wonder what's in the bottle...?
>Rumia however, is tearing into a pile of those skewers with evident gusto, while drinking a bottle of what seems to be the same stuff next to your plate. Looks like she's been through more than one of those bottles too.
>Oddly enough, her tie thingy from her shirt is now being worn as a headband. Wonder why she's doing that?
>Mokou of course, sits at one of the far seats, and wordlessly nods. Mystia places a plate of rice with varying things on it in front of her. "It's on the house this time you guys, we all need a breather after a fight like that. Especially you two." Mystia nods towards you and Mokou.
>Looks like there's...various vegetables, several different kinds of meat, and...just what is that weird pastry-looking thing on top?

Well, where would we be rushing? We kinda already beat the fake Cirno.

>You take an experimental bite of the meat on the skewer, tastes almost like Eel!
>You also decide to take a few experimental sips of the drink that came with the food, if Rumia can handle it, then so can you! Bluh, tastes bitter. Sour too. But you can't argue that it doesn't go with the food.
>You proceed to make small talk with everyone, with topics ranging from how the Cirno causing trouble was a fake, to whether or not jelly donuts are scary. Mokou finds them decidedly disturbing, yet at the same time delicious. You also finish you food and drink during the small talk.
>You also learned that those weird sticks Mokou has are called 'Cigarettes'. Apparently she's the only person in Gensokyo who ever has a use for them.
>During the small talk, Rumia spontaneously began dancing on the cart's roof, much to Mystia's annoyance.
>You feel kinda fuzzy-headed, but warm too. It's a kinda warm, fuzzy feeling. Feels good though, but it's a bit disorienting.
>Mystia then pulls up the stool on her side of the counter and sits in front of your seat on her side of the counter. "So...tthe Cirno that's been causing trouble was a fake after all...I'm worried about Daiyousei, She's the glue that keeps the team together y'know. If it wasn't for her, I'd never have met Wriggle, Chen, Rumia, or Cirno."
>Mokou then flicks away the cigarette she was smoking, and sits up. "Didn't you say that the Icecube was acting weird before all this started goin' down?"
>A look of realization crosses Mystia's face. "She did keep saying something was after her...and she even vanished for a few days....You don't think..?"
>Mokou nods. "Bingo. What if she was captured by whatever was after her? I'd say it has something to do with the snow creature the kid here fought. I heard it say something about having a boss. Ten to one odds says that whoever, or whatever, it works for is what's behind all this mess."
>Wriggle then chimes in, still facedown on the counter. "And that's where we'll find Dai too I bet."

>Meanwhile, during all the serious discussion, Rumia fell off the cart's roof and into a bush. Sounds like she's losing her lunch...



Parser's Corner: Yes, the bit with Rumia is meant to be a "Funny Background Event (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FunnyBackgroundEvent)".

>"Hey, do either of you.... know what happen to Cirno on the day she changed?"
>You ask how you'd go about finding whoever's behind all this, and everyone just shrugs puzzledly, even Mokou. "Beats me kid, I don't usually leave the bamboo forest unless it's to deliver the charcoal I make. Which is usually to the Village, but lately that mansion over at the lake's taken to ordering a few loads. But if you ask me, the folks there are a bit batty." "Dunno." "Maybe the lake? The fake was was awfully protective of it."
>You ask if Rumia normally does that, and Mystia responds with an amused shrug. "Only when she's had a bit too much to drink. Funny thing is that it's not even particularly strong Sake, even a human would have to drink a lot to get sloshed off of it. Way more than what she drank."
>You ask what happened to Cirno back then, and Wriggle looks up from the counter. "From what I know, she was actin' like summat was after 'er. 'ell if I know what it was."
>Mokou then stands up from her seat. "So when are we gonna go bust some heads? I still gotta pay that fake back for skewering me like that."
>Wriggle chimes in. "Well, either way you go it'll all 'appen at the lake. So that's probably the best place t' go a-checkin' I'd say.."
>So any way you slice it, it all comes back around to the Misty Lake again.

~Location Added: Bamboo Forest of The Lost~



>##CHECK:INVENTORY, STATUS, QUEST, AND SKILL SCREENS
You want 'em? Enjoy the textwall.
>Inventory
Cooking Outfit(Worn as Clothes)
This stylish-looking White Apron and Green Kimono set looked brown when you first saw it, but you blinked and it was green like all the others.
Cooking Hat(Equipped as Hat)
This poofy hat is a must for any chef, as the Legendary Chef Boyardee can attest...But you kinda wonder just who he is.
Classy Suit (Unequipped)
Yukari probably left this in your closet, you think it looks snazzy!
Tiny Ribbon (Worn as Accessory)
Cute little ribbon you woke up with.
Classy Headgear (Unequipped)
Snazzy Top hat that goes with the suit. You think it adds charm, but does it add CHARISMA?
Yukari's Note (Key Item)
A note that was addressed to you, written by Yukari.
Blank Spellcards(3) (Key Item)
These blank spellcards were given to you by CidNitori, as well as Momiji, but you can't use them until you have them engraved somehow.
Mountain Map (Key Item)
This is a simple map of the Youkai Mountain, simple enough that even you can read it. It marks such important places as Moriya Shrine, Tengu Village, Kappa Village, and the Outpost!
Momiji's Newspaper (Key Item)
A newspaper with a picture of a green-haired woman on the front, who could she be?
Froggy's Iron Ring (Equipped as Accessory)
The Red Kedama dropped this when you defeated it. It's apparently one of the many Iron Rings that were scattered all across Gensokyo when Suwako and the Red-White fought.
Athletic Wrappings(Equipped on Legs)
A roll of Athletic Bandages that people who play sports often wear, it has a caricature of a drunk-looking girl with horns on it. Maybe they belong to whoever's face that is?
They seem to have a strange effect when you equip them.

Macca(Total: 224)
These weird coins were given to you by Ran, they were helpful in resolving the Nozuchi incident. They must have some kind of power, but you can't feel anything.
Elegant Chopsticks
These were given to you by Yuyuko as thanks for the food you and Youmu made, you've been needing something like this for a long time!
Mysterious Ice Shard
This strange ice shard was left behind when you defeated the False Cirno, Who turned out to actually be some sort of strange snowman-looking creature.


>Quests
Thanks for "Note"ing(Complete!)
You have a strange note, and you don't know who wrote it, but you feel you should thank whoever it is.
Recently you've discovered that it was Written by someone named Yukari, as well as meeting the Chen the note talked about, it seems Chen knows her .
You've also met Ran Yakumo, Chen's master, it seems she's something called a shikigami, and Ran is this Yukari person's shikigami, which makes Chen a shikigami's shiki..gami...ow.
You've finally managed to thank Yukari for the note, don't you feel good about yourself?

Ice Crusher
Word is that Cirno's been acting strange and attacking anyone going near the Misty Lake, and since she's been doing that, nobody can get any fish there!
This problem must be dealt with, for the sake of your lunch!
So the Cirno that's been causing trouble was a fake afterall.
If she's been being impersonated, then something must've happened to her...But what?
You've learned that Cirno was acting like she was being chased by something, and disappeared shortly after, only to show up again causing trouble.
But that was the fake, so the real one's still missing.

Mountain of FaithFun
According to CidNitori, the Tengu on the Mountain have lots of fun things to do!
So it's your task to find out what!
Apparently the tengu and kappa busy themselves with playing Shogi in their off time, but maybe there's more they do than just that?

Kitty Hawk(Complete!)
According to CidNitori, there's someone on the Mountain that can help you learn to fly!
You've survived the duel with Kanako, there's a good chance she'll be the one to teach you how to fly!

Of Kedama And Fairies
Momiji said that Fairies keep Kedama as pets sometime, so the best person to ask what Kedama eat would be a fairy!
And Suwako said that Fairies are Embodiments of Nature itself, so they know all about Kedamas.
Now all that's left is to find a fairy that's willing to tell you!

>Subquests
Ancient Relics
According to Yukari, there were two powerful people in Gensokyo who haven't been seen for a long time.
She mentioned that they've left some of their possessions behind, and that a puppeteer might be able to help you find some of them.
According to Rumia, the Black-White might be another lead on this matter. Rumia also mentioned a shop on the outskirts of the Forest of Magic, and that the owner of that shop might also be able to help.
So far you've got three leads, a Puppeteer, who resides in the Forest of Magic. The Black-White, who also resides there. And a merchant who lives on the Forest's outskirts.
You'd think that since they can all be found in the Forest of Magic, that maybe they might know each other!


>Skills
Cat Form (Nekomata/Kasha Innate)
"Nekomata were once cats, so why then is it a surprise that they still take that form?"
This active skill allows you to shift between humanoid and cat forms.

Catlike Tread ~ Rank E (Nekomata/Kasha Innate)
This stealthy way of moving is not only utilized by Nekomata, but Kasha as well.
This Passive Skill enables the user to sneak around with more stealth than the average youkai

Danmaku Mastery ~ Rank C
"Danmaku's all about power, ze!" -An Ordinary Magician
This passive skill's level reflects how good you are with danmaku.
You've been using Lasers a lot lately, maybe you'll learn a new shot type soon?


Youkai Fortitude ~ Rank D
"The bodies of youkai are considerably more resilient than a human's." -Hieda no Akyu
This passive skill reflects how durable you are.
You're more durable than you used to be, train this if you want to be able to resist attacks better!


Youkai Strength ~ Rank D
"The sheer physical power some youkai, like Oni, can muster is truly frightening."
This passive skill reflects how much physical power you have at any given time.
You've gotten a bit stronger, you'd say you're a good deal stronger than the average Human in terms of physical power..


Smooth Moves ~ Rank @#$%&!
"These moves originated from a famous performer from the outside world, how you learned them is unknown, but you can use them almost as well as he was said to."
You don't really know much about this skill, And it seems you're lacking something that you had in the dream. What could it be..?

Confusion Resistance ~ Rank E
"Even the strongest of beings can fall prey to confusion, try not to fall into it too much yourself."
This passive skill reflects how easy/hard it is for things to make your brain overheat, but it's not that strong right now.

Sense Presence ~ Novice
"(Insert underused DBZ Quote here)"
This passive skill is always on, it allows you to sense the presence of other Youkai, Powerful Humans, and Divine Beings, as well as Gauge their power in relation to your own.

>Special Skills
Flight
This skill is known by almost every youkai. But for some reason or another you lacked it, so you had to learn it the hard way.
You can fly to various locales, but Yukari advised you against flying to places you don't fully know about.

Known Places:

Ringkind ~ Rank D
You've trained with Suwako a fair bit in the use of the Iron Ring you found a while back, you're quite used to it's heft now.

>Status
HP: 100% (Slight Buzz: Penalty to Reflexes and Accuracy)
Mana Points: 8
Power: Unknown


~Tutorial Corner: Power~
Each living being in Gensokyo, mostly Youkai, have a special "Power".

Your power is still largely an unknown though, you'll have to find someone who can explain it to you. But who?

"Dai was the resident Kedama Expert in these parts. If we find her, you oughta be able to find out about that stuff."
>You talk things over with everyone about what next to do, eventually deciding that the best thing to do would be to examine the lake first thing in the morning.
>You say your goodbyes to everyone and promise to meet up back here at the cart first thing in the morning.
>After that, you take off into the skies in the general direction of Mayohiga. W-whoa...kinda hard to keep in a straight line...

>After a long flight, you manage to arrive back home, but you bump your head on the door on the way back in, as well as tripping over the steps...Several times in fact.
>Ow. You're gonna be feeling that in the morning, that's for sure. You don't remember all this being that hard to do last time, so why's it so tricky now..?
>But it seems that everyone's already asleep, so you'll have to report in tomorrow, provided you don't forget.

>And you catapult out of your bed shouting about fish! ...But you land on the sleeping Hebichi!

>On the way up, you notice that you've got a minor headache, and everything's looking fuzzier than that time Ponga was shedding.
>Oh hey, it's morning too. Probably didn't wake anyone up last night, but you don't know about today though.
>You go a fair distance before realizing that you can fly, so you stop yourself in midair and start heading back home. Thankfully, you didn't get flung all the way out of Mayohiga, you just got thrown pretty high. Kinda cold up here...






Oh shit, parser, Before I forget, Can you link to the first thread in the original post? Even though you got a summary, some people might wanna re-read it.

>After a short flight, you finally manage to land, where you find Chen staring at the hole in the roof. "W-what happened here?!" You should probably get that fixed sometime.
>It looks like Hebichi's back to being asleep though, so you decide you'll apologize when she's awake. You'll make sure to remember this....maybe. One thing you won't forget? The fact that she's a lot stronger than she looks.
>You were supposed to meet everyone at Mystia's cart. You might be able to get some breakfast there, as investigating the entire lake might take a while.
>Your clothes seem okay, if a fair bit messy. Maybe you should wear some fresh clothes?

>Available Outfits

>Chen also has a look that would indicate that she remembered something. "Oh yeah, how'd last night go? Judging from the state your outfit's in, you must've had a tough time of it....Are those scorch marks? Oh yeah, there was that one person out at the bamboo forest who uses fire. Don't tell me you got in a fight with her too?"

>You change into the Suit as you give Chen a summary of what happened last night. Chen just stares on in awe. "We'll have to find a name for it then!"
>Of course, a gap appears nearby, and Yukari steps out of it! "I already know that power's name. Wildcard. Empty, yet full of potential. I daresay it's a good fit for our dear little Hibachi."
>Yukari then pulls a cloak and cap set out of the very same gap she stepped out of and hands them to you. "I had these specially made to go with your suit, You'll find them to be quite useful in the future."

~Item Get: Snazzy Cloak~
This cloak was special-ordered by Yukari to go with your Suit, but why did it take so long to be made..?
~Item Get: Nifty Cap~
This cap was special ordered by Yukari to go with your Suit, it looks kinda like those hats the policemen wore in those old television shows about criminals, detectives, and such.

>Now's your chance to ask Yukari about the blacksmith thingy, so you do! "Yes, your sleeping friend over there asked me about that during dinner. I told her that there is an old, abandoned smithy on the east side of town. Ran will be showing her around today." Yukari then smiles at you enigmatically.
>You show them the ice shard that you got by defeating the Fake Cirno, and Yukari takes it from you to examine closer. "Hmm....I'll have Ran study this later, I'll hold on to it until then."
~Item Lost: Mysterious Ice Shard~

>"You shall have to find that out on your own, because only you can find out for sure what the proper way to use your power is."
>Well, looks like she's leaving it up to you as to how your power's best used.
>Chen then comments. "Didn't you say that you were gonna meet everyone at the bamboo forest? I'll come with you since Ran-sama's gonna be busy showing Hebi-chan around, and Yukari-sama's gonna be looking at that ice shard you brought back."

>You pout a bit when Yukari takes the shard, but she just smiles at you enigmatically.
>You ask if you can go with Ran and Hebichi, but Chen flicks a small shot at you, just barely knocking your new Cap off. "You promised them you'd show up to help investigate the lake didn't you? it's not nice to break promises like that."

>For some reason, you sorta feel a chill. That can't be good can it?
>After this little event, you head out to the courtyard and take flight alongside Chen. And the two of you fly to the Bamboo Forest, where you spy Mokou lounging at the Entrance. Judging by the location of the sky that the sun's in, everyone else is probably at the cart by now. Rumia likely has a doozy of a headache.
>When you and Chen land at the Entrance, Mokou gives a slight nod. "There ya are kid, everyone's already at the cart. Oh, blondie's got one hell of a hangover. S'what she gets for drinking so much. Word to the wise, never go drinking with an Oni or a Tengu, those guys can really knock 'em back. ..Er...not that I'd know..." Mokou fidgets a bit as she says the last part, maybe she knows firsthand? That's pretty funny.

>You ask how strong the drinks were, and Mokou chuckles a bit. "Kid, those drinks aren't even strong enough for a Human. I tell ya, blondie's a real lightweight for a Youkai."
>You ask how much Oni and Tengu can drink, and Mokou does a spit take, but with fire. "Kid, no living thing in Gensokyo aside from another Oni can beat an Oni at drinkin'."
>You look around and don't see much out of place aside from that Ice Dome from last night's battle. Surprisingly enough, it hasn't melted one bit since then. "Well, let's go discuss the plan, we'll need all the help we can get for this."
>And with that, Mokou leads you and Chen to the Cart again, where you can see a distinctive black dress sticking halfway out of a bush. "Oog..."
>Wriggle's leaning on a nearby stalk of bamboo, while Mystia's setting up several small bowls of rice with some grilled lamprey on the side. Looks like she's getting a before-investigation meal set up for everyone.

>"So, What's the plan? Do we go in, Guns ablaze?"
>You ask what the plan is, and if it's to go in full force. Wriggle shrugs. "That comes after we find out what's going on at the lake."
>Meanwhile, it seems Rumia's...Uh...Reacquainting herself with last night's dinner. "Blorfle....ugh...." Smells horrible.
>Wriggle of course, is looking somewhat amused. Probably by the recent turn of events Rumia's going through. "She always forgets what 'appens the next day when she goes on a bender like last night's."

>You remark that Rumia had it coming because of a not-so-good first impression, and Wriggle chuckles. "What'd she do, eat a fairy right in front of ya?" If only Wriggle knew, eh?
>You ask Wriggle and Mystia how everyone first me, and Wriggle looks almost nostalgic. "It was a long time ago, at least thirty or so years I'd say...Or was it sixty? I remember there were a lot of flowers. Anyhow, it's a story best told when everyone's together, otherwise it loses something in the telling. So once we've found Cirno and Dai, and solved this puzzle at the lake, we'll tell you." Looks like Wriggle's the unofficial leader?
>You mention that you actually have a scout, and part your cloak to reveal Ponga sitting in a little pocket that seems to have been made for him. Ponga of course floats out like he normally does, and it looks like something's dawned on Wriggle. "So that's why you asked about Kedama..."
>You ask Ponga to scout out the area, and he whizzes off to patrol and scout. While that happens, you amble on over to the cart and grab one of the bowls and begin eating.
>Mystia notices you and gives a small nod. "So today's the day huh? Nice outfit by the way. You look like that one guy I heard about, think he was some kind of detective."

> "Was there anything else that was weird besides the disappearances?"
>You ask if there was anything odd aside from the disappearances, and Mystia nods. "Cirno mentioned having made a small fortress in the middle of the lake, but she had to abandon it for some reason. I think it might be connected all this somehow."
>Mokou then meanders over to the counter and grabs a bowl herself. "Then that's what we'll start with."
>Chen and Wriggle also join you at the counter. "Yeah, sounds like a plan." "Aye, should be the best place to check right based on what we've got so far."


>In Ponga's Mind as he scouts: "PATROL AND SCOUT! PATROL AND SCOUT! OH! YOU ARE HUGE! THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE INFO! PATROL AND SCOUT!"

>And bitter it is. Blech. You think you'll probably never get used to this drink's flavor.
>Would ya look at that? Mokou's already drained hers in one go! Rumia's still in that bush though, maybe she won't be so useful today.

> Wait for the Pongmeister to get back.

>Mystia nods. Yeah, Cirno was really secretive about it, she only talked about it. She never showed anyone where it was except for Dai. And that's because, like Wriggle said, Dai helped her make it."

>You ask Mokou to try to melt the sword, but she's too busy trading blows with the other Pyro Jack to hear you. Looks like they're evenly matched, the Pyro Jack's immune to Mokou's flames, but it looks like she's immune to it's flames too! But it looks like Mokou has the overall advantage, as it looks like she's decided to just use physical attacks.
>Was that Suwako...? If it was, then she helped for once.
>You decide to try to hit the faker with one of the explosions from before, but suddenly you feel a burning sensation....Ow. Seems it backfired and you hit yourself with it.
>Mystia's song sounds like it might be getting close to the end...seems like there's more to it than you thought....but what could it be..?
>She's definitely putting her heart into it, as it's gotten quite frenetic! It's amazing how she can sing so fast, yet still be quite clear....

>Why is Mokou not attacking the other.. oh well... we could use some fire attacks, on the ones that is obvious that it's weak to fire?

>Now for a suddenly strange and surprising revelation. Tell everyone that "Thoshe fire ones are weak to ice, and ice onesh are weak to fire." That should give at least some idea to the people we are fighting with....

>Don't use self damaging attacks, since we can't tell if they are effective? Try to use some "fire" power on that frosty clown A.

>There's the Pyro Jack B, Mokou's engaging Pyro Jack A, the Kamen Rider is handling the remaining Jack Frost, and Chen's trying to get at the faker.
>But she's not managing to land many hits.

>So you decide to go after the remaining enemy that isn't in combat, the Pyro Jack B!
>You decide to open up with a pair of large shots, and they actually hit for once! But the shocking thing is that they explode on contact!
>But the even stranger thing is that you don't hear that ping. Maybe it's not powered by the fire? But then again...your shots have never done that before.
>Of course, before the dust clears, you decide to just charge right in! Feeling hotblooded today, aren't we?
>Of course, you go right through the dust cloud. Looks like if there was anything in there, you missed it.
>You shout that the Pumpkinheads are probably weak to ice, and that the Jack Frost is probably weak to fire, but if anyone heard you over the fight, they didn't respond.
>You'd use another attack on the Jack Frost, but it looks like Wrig- Er, the Kamen Rider, has everything under control. You probably wouldn't be able to get a shot off without hitting the Kamen Rider anyhow.
>Hey...Those cards...They feel warm again...Just like the fight with the Kedama Trio...
>The dust clears...and there's nothing left...was that a...?! You must have taken it out in one shot! Must've been a mook.
>And Mystia's song seems to have reached a climax! But what will happen when she finishes? Only she knows for sure...

>Go over to Mystia in case they try to launch a surprise attack on her.
>Meanwhile, try tapping into Mystia, and see if we can mimic her power, just to find out what her ability is.
>You don't find anything, so you decide to go closer to Mystia, in case anyone gets any funny ideas about trying to take her out before she finishes.
>Maybe if you hold them off until she finishes, they'll explode or something? That'd be weird....But it does sound like that one series Sanae mentioned once....But you can't really remember what it was called. Shame really, Sanae talked about it like it was the best thing since Fried Rice...Mmm...Fried Rice...
>You're struck by a burst of inspiration, and decide to try to draw on Mystia's power, but sadly, you don't feel any different. The energy within still feels like a small fire. You feel like you're missing something...Maybe if you had whatever it was, you'd be able to mimic her?


> Once Mystia finishes her song, take out a spell card.
>The moment Mystia's song finishes however, what appear to be Eels rain down on the enemies, followed by giant ones aimed right for them!
>The strange thing is that the Eels dissipate after hitting, like regular danmaku, but it looks like those hits really did a number on them, even the faker didn't get out of it unscathed.
>You also feel a little recharged, maybe it was another effect of the song?
>You decide to bring out the spellcard that was reacting, and before long, words resolve along the borders, and a picture takes shape...It looks like something being shot out of a cannon.
>And just like with the first card, words come to mind....'Galvein Buster -Focus-'.
>....Maybe it's a stronger version of your attack from earlier...? It sure feels like it.

>Also use lazers.
>You decide to hold off on firing off your new spellcard for a bit, who knows what it could do?
>It could cause pretty big collateral damage if it's a stronger version of your earlier attack..
>So you instead opt to just fire off a spread of varying shots with lasers mixed in!
>Well, what shots you know of, and have been able to learn that is.
>Of course, the shots manage to draw the attention of the faker and it's remaining cronies! "HEE-HOO! I'll take care of you myself!"
>Of course, the faker wastes no time in charging right at you! The finer points of ranged combat are lost on this one it seems. Shame it had to end up in Gensokyo, the land where ranged combat is king...or should I say, 'Queen'?

>Of course, the Kamen Rider notices the Faker's charge, and punts the remaining Jack Frost into the Faker, interrupting it's charge! After this, the Kamen Rider retreats to near where Mystia is.
>When Chen hears your shout, she gets the heck out of there.

>You warned her, you really did.
>You told her about the Danmaku!
>Whoa, are there BUTTERFLIES in there too?! Oh wait, it's just a few shots overlapping. But it really did look like one...
>And right when the spellcard's run it's course, you punch forward, since you're not sure where the faker is in that mess.
>And as you punch, you decide to be a little dramatic, just because you can.
>Once everything clears, all you can see is a pretty beat-up looking Mokou, and the Faker, who isn't in much better condition.

>You wonder aloud where everyone went, and you feel a slight sting on your back....You'd know that anywhere, that was definitely one of Chen's shots.
>Well, that's Chen found...probably. Everyone else aside from Mokou and the Faker are probably with her.
>Of course, Ponga's still in the cloak. It's surprising how he's avoided harm. Particularly surprising, given how you kinda asploded yourself earlier.
>The only folks in front of you are the Faker, who's looking like it just got run over by one of Yukari's trains, and Mokou, who's looking equally thrashed.
>You apologize to Mokou, saying that she can heal, while the Faker can't, but suddenly, a small flash of green light erupts from the faker!
>When the flash subsides, you notice that it's looking a fair bit better than it did a few moments ago!
>Of course, during all this, Mokou's muttering something under her breath...Whoa, and you thought Nitori had a mouth on 'er!
>So you decide to fire a few lasers at it for good measure! but the strange thing is that it only just barely avoids them. Like it didn't want to use anymore movement than was absolutely needed!

>You ponder what that flash meant, maybe it was something important? ...Nah, it couldn't be that important could it?
>Oh man..where could Ponga be..? This really has you worried! You're even at the point where you're practically in tears!
>You say that you've gotta find him, and Chen nods. "Yeah, but not even Wriggle could find him, and she's got all the insects in the area looking for him."
>Wait, Wriggle's a she? Could've fooled you.
>You look around for the source of the smell, and find Mystia's Cart nearby! Smells like she's cooking some food up.

> Sigh a bit.
> "So are we gonna check out that base next for your friends?"
>You flip out over the stress of Ponga going missing, and Wriggle actually being a girl. What a shock! "You sure have flipped out a lot today. Are you sure you're okay?"
>You decide that food's the best thing to go for next, so you amble over to Mystia's cart.
>But you figure that you should think about how to find Ponga too.
>...Ow. Man, you're hurting a fair bit. Looks like whatever you did took a lot out of you.
>Thankfully, you manage to get to the bench that's built into the cart before your legs give out on you. Nothing a good and hearty meal and a little rest won't fix though, probably.
>Just how long were you out...? It had to have been at least the rest of the day, since Mystia was able to get her cart all the way over here from the Bamboo Forest.
>Of course, the moment you plonk yourself down, you're already faced with a large bowl of what appears to be some form of meat. Beef maybe? It smells good..
>Wriggle's nowhere to be seen though, she must be off looking for Ponga or something. Now that you think about it, you never did find out what her power is.
>You're pretty sure it has something to do with bugs from what Chen said.
>You sigh a bit and decide to start eating, and you ask if the base is next on the list, gotta find Cirno and Dai after all.
>And Mystia, who's behind the counter, nods. "Yeah, I think we should do it tonight." And Mokou chuckles. "Strike while the Iron's hot eh?"
>Of course, you hear a faint, yet familiar buzz....One of Yukari's Gaps...?
>So you turn around a bit to look, and you see Hebichi walking out of it! "..Evening.."
>But she's wearing what looks like a thick apron that seems to have various tools sticking out of the pockets. Hang on, are those scorchmarks on it?
>She looks like she's been hard at work in a place where there's fire.
>You never really noticed it before on account of the sleeves of her dress, but her arms...they're quite well-toned. She could probably knock over a tree with those.

>From the timeskip long time ago, what did Ponga and us do? From that history, do we know where he MIGHT be at?
>You didn't really do much other than head to the Moriya Shrine to learn how to fly. Ponga was always by your side.
>You'd usually relax by the Lake out behind the Shrine, which you eventually learned was Suwako's Domain. So he might be found there eventually.
>She'd always be found a few feet under the water's surface. It always freaked you out how she could stay underwater for almost the entire day, and come out dry as usual.

She makes things ofc :V
Maybe she's a... fuck I forgot what they were called. A blacksmith that can make anything, regardless of experience, even Magically Enchant items. I think it was a Whitesmith, not too sure though.

>Of course, she also takes a seat on the bench rather close to you. Seems that even though she could probably deck everyone here, yourself included, and get away with it, she's still pretty timid.
>"...I didn't make anything yet....But I think I've got it working now....I'll be living there from here on I guess...I'm glad I found one finally..."
>And just like before, that same pulse and flash...
>Meanwhile, you've devoured quite a lot of the meat, and there's still no sign of the bowl getting any emptier. You suspect that this bowl is a portal to the meat dimension.
>You'd find some place to sleep, but you're too determined to try to at least see what's under all the meat, maybe vegetables, or maybe rice? Only Mystia would know.
>Of course, Mystia notices Hebichi. "Oh, are you a friend of Hibachi's?"However, it seems Hebichi's a bit too shy right now, since she just nods shyly.
>If you weren't so busy trying to get to the bottom of the bowl, you'd think that she was hella cute, but the mystery must be solved!

>You keep eating, but the bowl seems to truly be endless! Just how much meat is in there?!
>You decide to take a break from trying to finish the seemingly endless reserves of meat that the bowl contains, and ask Hebichi what she's going to make.

>Of course, Rumia's wandered over, and started poking her.
>You have a feeling that Rumia's got a hold of the Idiot Ball rather strongly today.
>And of course, Hebichi surprises just about everyone by flinging Rumia skyward with just one arm, and without even getting up from her seat no less! "...Idiot..."

>So you just ask Hebichi if it's okay if you watch her make whatever it is she's gonna make, but she just shakes her head. "...Secret project...sorry..."
>You look around a bit for signs of Wriggle or Ponga, but there's nothing. more fireflies than normal though.

>Headache? You don't have one!
>You just feel really drained, both physically and spiritually. Though the meat's certainly helped in that matter. Nothing a bit more probably won't fix.
>The food's pretty rejuvenating for some reason, wonder why? You think could probably walk okay now.
>You ask Hebichi why she's here, and if she knows about the faker, and she starts looking serious. "...Black Frost too huh...? ...It'll take a lot more than that to end him..."
>Sounds like she knows the faker...Black Frost huh? That certainly makes sense...Maybe she's even fought him in the past...?
>Mokou of course, has gotten an interested look on her face."So what you're saying is, he's lived through worse?"
>To which, Hebichi nods wordlessly. Seems that despite having been introduced to just about everyone, she's still pretty timid.
>"...I saw a pillar of fire all the way from the forge...And the lady who was showing me around decided to send me here to see what happened...But I wonder why she took so long in sending me..."
>Wow...things got pretty tense when she started talking about the faker...Er, Black Frost...Hebichi's Presence actually got heavier during that...Scary...
>So to break the tension, you ask Hebichi if she wants anything on the menu, and she just points at a large bottle that looks like those little ones that Mystia served with the food last night. "...That."
>Of course, when she hears this, Mystia just goes pale. "Th-that's Oni-Grade! Are you serious?!"
>Oni-Grade? What's so bad about that? You heard that the Oni are a pretty good lot, if a fair bit rowdier than most. So what's there to worry about? It can't be that bad can it?

>You remark that youtake it that she knows what's in the bottle, and Hebichi nods.
>You comment that maybe we shouldn't drink just yet,and that we'll be coming back in the morning, but Chen flicks a shot at you. "Remember? We already agreed we were gonna press things while we had the advantage."
>Oh yeah...you kinda did already agree to that...
>Of course, Hebichi just looks at you like you're stupid or something. "...Who said anything about you drinking...? ...This is for me..."
>Does she really intend to drink the whole bottle on her own?!
>Of course, she then slams a rather nice pile of coins onto the counter...Just where'd she get those?!
>And ofcourse, Mystia just stares at the coins in awe before passing passing Hebichi the bottle. "Th-that'll definitely cover it.."
>Once she's got her hands on the bottle, she doesn't wait any longer to uncork it and start chugging!




>After a while of general discussion, drinking, and eating, everyone came to the descision that tonight's as good a time as any to finish what was started.
>Meanwhile, Hebichi's regaling Rumia and Mokou with a rather rowdy tale. "So this ninja, he tries to get me to go to 'bed' with 'im right? So I takes an 'ammer I 'ad lyin' around, and I shove it up 'is #$%!"
>Of course, this is followed by raucous laughter on Mokou's part. "Gahahahaha! And what happened next?" "I'll tell ya one thing, poor sap 'ad to have it surgically removed. Couldn't sit for almost a year afterwards on 'ccount of 'ow deep it went!"
>This of course, is met with gales of laughter from all three of them. Chen of course, is lazing around on the cart's roof with the remnants of her food.

>"Well, What happened? Tellmetellmetellmeeeeee!"
>PONGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. BABY COME BACK
>You ask Wriggle what happened, and she just shrugs. "Well, a few Moths I had sent out reported seeing something weird. They knew it was a Youkai, but it was like no Youkai they'd ever seen."
>Wriggle then takes a bite of the Lamprey Skewer that Mystia handed her as you were flying up to the cart's roof. "And a group of Water Striders I sent to the lake reported the same thing, looks like it was heading for that iceberg."
>You don't suppose that could've been Ponga could it? But something doesn't add up...


>Oh we aren't that bright (Yet), but we can come back for food right?
>Also do not forget to tell everyone, we should take turns in camp guarding, Nya?

>Whisper to Chen's ears "Are you asleep yet? I know you can take care of yourself, Nya... but.. it's dangerous there, really... Nya... Chen... please be careful... "
>You're decently learned now, but you still mess up quite a lot...like that time you tried to fly up, but went down instead. Yukari had to gap you out of the floor that time...She never has let you live that one down.
>You remark that people should take turns in guarding the camp, and Wriggle looks up from the counter and nods. "Good idea, you take first watch then, since it was your idea."
>And almost as if it was fated to be, Hebichi, Mokou, and Rumia laugh uproariously, even though you're pretty sure they didn't hear Wriggle's remark.
>You decide to ask Wriggle what the last time they checked out that old hideout was, and she just shrugs. "Hey Mystia, it was the day Cirno vanished wasn't it?" "No, it was the day Dai vanished, remember?" "Huh, could've sworn it was when Cirno vanished that one day." "...It might've been when Dai vanished..." "Ah, but then it could've been when Cirno vanished..."
>So it was when Cirno vanished? ...or was it when Dai vanished? Can't they make up their minds? You're starting to question just how smart they are.
>So you decide to whisper to Chen, and ask if she's awake, and to tell her to be careful. Of course, she just mutters unintelligibly a bit before responding. "..Snrkf....I know..."

>As the night drags on, a few of the folks present have fallen asleep, particularly of note is Hebichi, who has fallen asleep hanging upside-down from a nearby tree branch.
>Mokou's still awake....you think. Wriggle's definitely fallen asleep. Mystia's one of the few still awake though. You of course being the other person still awake.

> "Hmmm..."
> Sigh and partake at looking at the stars.  S'one of those nights.
>You go 'Hmmm...' and just stare at the stars....
>They're looking pretty good tonight, but it's gonna be one of those nights. Oh look, there's the Four Symbols, constellations that represent powerful creatures of legend.
>Genbu, the Black Tortoise. Suzaku, the Vermillion Bird. Byakko, the White Tiger. And Seiryu, the Azure Dragon...But are they more than just patterns of stars here in Gensokyo...?
>For a brief moment, the four almost seem to be fighting! But it looks like you're the only one who saw that vision...for some reason you feel a heavy unease...You don't know why, but something's got you on edge something fierce.
>And strangely enough, you see that strange girl you saw on the mountain fly close enough that you could almost touch her!
>But this time you can actually see details! She's got these weird blue cords sticking out of her, and they're attached to this weird blue ball no bigger than a man's fist. hang on...are those eyelashes on it?!
>Of course, just like last time, it's like she's not even there, you can't even feel her Presence.
>But the weird thing is, she just smiles and tips her hat...That's a nice-looking hat there...Hey, that's a melon bread under there! Why's she keeping one of those in her hat?
>After that, she just flies on her way, almost seeming to fade away as she goes....And there's a faint scent of roses, just like last time...

Fuckin' foreshadowing. Now we're going to have to go to myouren temple soon with the klutz known as shou.
Did I ever mention how I have a soft spot for people like that :V

>Can we still smell the mouse?
>If so, chase. If not, oh well.
>so, Um, What do we do now? It's pretty boring around here....
>hmm... fighting? let's check it out...
>The smell's pretty faint, and getting fainter by the second. There's no way you'll be able to track them for very long, even with your Youkai-enhanced senses.
>Oh well, and you were hoping that there'd be something interesting to do to kill time until everyone got back.
>Since there's nothing to do, and Mokou seems just as bored as you do, maybe you two could figure out a way to kill time between the two of you?



~BGM: Meanwhile...~
>A mysterious figure stands before a large gate in a wall of ice...
>"...Master.....Must help master...Do what master could not...Me go...Me fight...!"
>Suddenly, the figure breaks open a hole in the gate and walks through it...In an almost primitive manner...




Parser's Note: You really didn't think I'd have him on a bus did you? There's a reason for all the foreshadowing coming so often, and some are more important than others~

Parser's Note: No, there's no playing as Keine. Because there was already a Keine Quest, Purvis did it a lot better than I could ever have hoped to.  8)
You do mean Draco right?  Purvis didn't parse Keine Quest.

> We know Rock-Paper-Scissors right?  Play that with Mokou a bit if she's interested.

>You're about to suggest it to Mokou when you start spazzing out for no apparent reason!
>But then you stop and think to yourself, 'This is stupid.'
>Mokou of course, just stares flatly. You recognize that stare, it's one of those 'What the heck is wrong with her?' stares.
>You decide to just shrug it off and go try to wake Chen up....But when you shake her to wake her up, all she does is lash out her arm, which gets you right across the face. *doof*
>...Ow. That's definitely not gonna help any.


Parser's Note: Oh, so he did. Coulda sworn it was Purvis from how it all went down! It felt like a Z-Machine y'know? Anyhow, Italics in ' are thoughts of your own.

Maybe now you'll know not to eat strange plants that you found in your pocket?

>Inventory
Cooking Outfit(Unequipped)
This stylish-looking White Apron and Green Kimono set looked brown when you first saw it, but you blinked and it was green like all the others.
Cooking Hat(Unequipped)
This poofy hat is a must for any chef, as the Legendary Chef Boyardee can attest...But you kinda wonder just who he is.
Classy Suit (Equipped)
Yukari probably left this in your closet, you think it looks snazzy!
Tiny Ribbon (Worn as Accessory 1)
Cute little ribbon you woke up with.
Nifty Cloak (Worn as Accessory 2)
Yukari gave you this cloak to go with your suit, it's even got a pouch for Ponga to sit in!
Snazzy Cap (Current Headgear)
Yukari gave you this neat little hat at the same time as the Cloak, apparently it was made as part of a set to go with the Suit.
Classy Headgear (Unequipped)
Snazzy Top hat that goes with the suit. You think it adds charm, but does it add CHARISMA?
Yukari's Note (Key Item)
A note that was addressed to you, written by Yukari.
Blank Spellcards(2) (Key Item)
These blank spellcards were given to you by CidNitori, as well as Momiji, but you can't use them until you have them engraved somehow.
Mountain Map (Key Item)
This is a simple map of the Youkai Mountain, simple enough that even you can read it. It marks such important places as Moriya Shrine, Tengu Village, Kappa Village, and the Outpost!
Momiji's Newspaper (Key Item)
A newspaper with a picture of a green-haired woman on the front, who could she be?
Froggy's Iron Ring (Equipped as Accessory)
The Red Kedama dropped this when you defeated it. It's apparently one of the many Iron Rings that were scattered all across Gensokyo when Suwako and the Red-White fought.
Athletic Wrappings(Equipped on Legs)
A roll of Athletic Bandages that people who play sports often wear, it has a caricature of a drunk-looking girl with horns on it. Maybe they belong to whoever's face that is?
They seem to have a strange effect when you equip them.

Macca(Total: 224)
These weird coins were given to you by Ran, they were helpful in resolving the Nozuchi incident. They must have some kind of power, but you can't feel anything.
Elegant Chopsticks (Key Item)
These were given to you by Yuyuko as thanks for the food you and Youmu made, you've been needing something like this for a long time!
Snazzy Cloak
This cloak was special-ordered by Yukari to go with your Suit, but why did it take so long to be made..?
Nifty Cap
This cap was special ordered by Yukari to go with your Suit, it looks kinda like those hats the policemen wore in those old television shows about criminals, detectives, and such.
Shimmering Blue Rose (Key Item)
A mysterious Blue Rose that shines faintly, you found it in your cloak's pocket after dancing with a strange girl whom nobody could see but you...You have a feeling that it's probably important.


>Spellcards
Soldier Cat ~ 「Felyn Lance」 (Mana Cost 2)
This is the first Spellcard you unlocked, It fires a barrage of Laser Shots directly forward. You get the feeling Yukari would be proud.
Galvein Buster -Focus- (Mana Cost 6)
This spellcard unlocked itself as you were fighting the fake Cirno for a second time, it fires a fierce barrage of large and medium-sized shots. But like your other card, it's forward-restricted as well. However, it has a much larger area of effect.

>Quests
Ice Crusher
Word is that Cirno's been acting strange and attacking anyone going near the Misty Lake, and since she's been doing that, nobody can get any fish there!
This problem must be dealt with, for the sake of your lunch!
So the Cirno that's been causing trouble was a fake afterall.
If she's been being impersonated, then something must've happened to her...But what?
You've learned that Cirno was acting like she was being chased by something, and disappeared shortly after, only to show up again causing trouble.
But that was the fake, so the real one's still missing.

Mountain of FaithFun
According to CidNitori, the Tengu on the Mountain have lots of fun things to do!
So it's your task to find out what!
Apparently the tengu and kappa busy themselves with playing Shogi in their off time, but maybe there's more they do than just that?

Of Kedama And Fairies
Momiji said that Fairies keep Kedama as pets sometime, so the best person to ask what Kedama eat would be a fairy!
And Suwako said that Fairies are Embodiments of Nature itself, so they know all about Kedamas.
Now all that's left is to find a fairy that's willing to tell you!
>Subquests
Ancient Relics
According to Yukari, there were two powerful people in Gensokyo who haven't been seen for a long time.
She mentioned that they've left some of their possessions behind, and that a puppeteer might be able to help you find some of them.
According to Rumia, the Black-White might be another lead on this matter. Rumia also mentioned a shop on the outskirts of the Forest of Magic, and  that the owner of that shop might also be able to help.
So far you've got three leads, a Puppeteer, who resides in the Forest of Magic. The Black-White, who also resides there. And a merchant who lives on the Forest's outskirts.
You'd think that since they can all be found in the Forest of Magic, that maybe they might know each other!

Recently, Ms. Yuuka Kazami of the Sun's Garden has been acting very reclusive and solitary, what could have brought this change about?
Rumor has it that a new Flower Youkai has appeared there, and that Ms. Kazami is the mother!

Lakeside Lout!
The resident leader of a small-time gang of lesser Youkai, the Ice Fairy Cirno, has been stirring up trouble in the vicinity of the Misty Lake, the place where she makes her home.
Recently, she has been seen attacking anyone who approaches the lake, and with never-before-seen might!
What could have brought on this sudden bout of territorialism?

Missing Again?
According to rumors, Koishi Komeiji, younger sister of well-known therapist and leader, Satori Komeiji, has gone missing once again.
Some of the patrols have reported seeing a strange girl wandering the mountain, as well as a faint scent of roses. Could they be connected to the younger Komeiji's disappearance?

Oh god dammit now I feel like we missed some sort of scene. After all, We already know the cause of the latter two, And from what I can only assume parser had some sort of scene with a new flower youkai planned early on or something. That or alternate realities are a go. also yuuka~

>Apparently it's mascot is some kinda monkey-tiger-snake-tanuki-thing. It looks weird.
>Apparently they're having half off dinners until the 15th....too bad this ad was from a few months back.
>Hang on...maybe the girl you danced with was the missing girl the newspaper talked about! You explain this in a somewhat panicky way to Mokou, who just stares at you weirdly.
>"Hang on a minute, rewind that. So you're saying that the person you were dancing with was someone talked about in the news a few months back? Then she must not be missing after all...Unless she's got a reason for being out here that is."
>You walk over to Rumia and start poking her. "Waha~ Quit it~" Looks like she's ticklish.
>You tell Mokou that you're going to go look around for a bit, and that she should keep things from getting too hot, and she chuckles. "Too hot? Ahaha, it's because I use fire isn't it? Funny joke that."

>After a while, you get the feeling that you're not going to find anything, and start back for the cart....But suddenly you trip over something and fall flat on your face!
>Oww.....Just what is that anyways..? it looks kinda like a little pagoda-shaped lantern...But more importantly, it's shiny! It looks like that instead of a candle though, there's a large jewel in there!

~Item Get: Pagoda-shaped Lantern~
You stumbled across this strange object as you were exploring, Literally. It looks kinda like a Pagoda almost...And what's with that gem in there?

>Did the lantern light up? Well crud.
>You look at the surroundings, in hopes that you'll find a clue as to who left it there.
>You find that it was in a small crater,  almost as if it was dropped from a large height, maybe whoever left it behind was flying overhead and dropped it?
>You have no idea how to light it, but you try any way that you can think of, including a funny phrase you read in one of Suwako's comic books...but it doesn't light up. maybe there's something missing?
>It looks intact, so maybe you just don't have enough power to light it?

> Look the Pagoda over.
> Head back to the cart.
>You examine the pagoda closely....Looks like it's made of bronze, a few pearls here and there, and one honkin' big gem the size of your fist in the center. There's no handle on it though, maybe you've got to hold it by the base?
>Hey...there's a weird inscription on the bottom...But you can't read it. It looks like it's in an old script, Ran never taught you this one!
>Well, you figure that maybe having some more folks puzzling over it will be more helpful, so you head back to the cart.

>After a little while, you arrive back at the cart to find that everyone's already there, and Chen's awake too! Hebichi still looks like death warmed over though.

>You comment that maybe it's a magic lamp and try rubbing it...nothing happens.
>You sniff it, and it faintly smells like some sort of big cat, but you're not sure what sort. There's a lot of other smells masking it, including the smells of the dirt you found it on, as well as your own scent.
>You ask if anyone has any idea who would leave it there, and everyone just looks at each other every so often while shrugging. Looks like they've go no clue either.

>Before everyone gets rolling though, you try your hardest to be so adorable that you make Rumia nosebleed...But it looks like she's too busy nomming a lamprey skewer to notice.
>No you didn't, due in part to her not waking up until recently.
>You ask Chen if there are more nekomata in gensokyo than just you and her, and she thinks for a moment... "I'm pretty sure that there are, but there's more kinds of Cat Youkai out there than just Nekomata. I heard that there's a group of various Cat Youkai somewhere in the Forest of Magic, but I haven't found 'em."

> "Well, I guess we should get going then!  Everyone ready?"
>You ask if everyone's ready to go, and you get a few nods...except for Rumia, who's just too wrapped up in the skewer she's eating to notice much else. And Hebichi, who looks like death warmed over.
>Mokou nudges her glass boredly. "So, we're gonna go look into that Iceberg huh?" And Wriggle nods in agreement. "Yeah, that's what my scouts indicated."
>Of course, Mystia keeps herself busy with putting the grill's fires out, 'Well, I'll just close up shop for now then, since all of us are going."
>Chen stares at the sky with a serious expression. "Just wait for us Dai...Cirno...we'll find you..."
>Looks like out of everyone here excluding you, Wriggle and Chen are taking this the most seriously.

>And there's no wood, the remains of the door were all ice shards of varying sizes.

>It looks like there might be a large room ahead in East 1. There's also a powerful presence unlike any you've ever felt before! Even at this distance the pressure is frighteningly intense...You get the feeling that you should check the other paths before this one.
>Meanwhile, Mokou seems to have stopped in front of East 1. "Feel that? If I didn't know any better, I'd say that whatever's been behind all this is through there. We should probably make sure we're all ready before going in."
>Chen of course has stopped in front of North 2. "I think there might be something down this one Hibachi-nya, wanna check it out?"
>Of course, you've now walked over and plonked yourself right next to her to share warmth during all the exposition.
>It looks like each of the corridors has a symbol engraved on the floor in front of them.
>East 1 has a Crown. North 2 has a Magic Circle, North 1 also has the Magic Circle.  South 1 has what appears to be a fine engraving of a spear...or maybe a sword...? Maybe a wand? West 1 has a rather unimaginative 'EXIT' hastily carved into the floor.

>You head down the corridor(north 2) to find what seems to have once been some kind of laboratory...Hey, it looks like that one other path leads here too! That would explain why they've got the same symbol.
>Looks like there's a few ruined shelves of some kind, and a totally wrecked desk. Lot of various papers and torn-up books are scattered around too. Whatever happened in here was not kind to the surroundings, it's kinda like that one time when Yukari tried to cook.
>There's something that's shining a little in the rubble of the desk...Maybe it's important?

You found this key in the wreckage of a desk in the Iceberg Fortress, it's one of four keys to allow access to the Dungeon!
~Item Get: Desk Fragments x3~
You picked these up in the Iceberg Fortress, they're pieces of what was one a desk at some point. You thought they'd come in handy.
~Item Get: Broken Shelf Boards x2~
You picked these up in the Iceberg Fortress, they used to be a part of what must've been a Bookshelf at some point. They might be useful.

>The third and final armor has a helmet much like the second's, but also has a large and ornately-designed mantle covering most of it, like a cloak almost.

I say we pull a Dragon Ball and just fly straight into the dust cloud and punch it, sending it halfway across the planet. And then kicking it back.

I'd advise against punching the cloud because we might accidentally punch an ally or we might be counter-attacked hard if something goes wrong.

The Statue's Mystery
After fighting the three Armors in the Iceberg Fortress, a strange statue was left that has an entirely unsettling presence. As well as not being easy on the eyes in the least.
But why did it appear? And where did it go?

I wonder why...... it has not been done for like 3 turns now?....
Because it fizzled out on impact. :<

That does not mean we can still heat up the room, melt things, and make any ice based move.. at least weaker or so.. There are much more things I have planned for the fire, not just something to attack with, but how it is not done yet is.. yea...

>Do the same as you tried to do for that long time, light up any wood you have with the help of Mokou and observe what will happen next. Place the wood in a wall in front of the enemy or a circle around us.

>...Ohgod. Is there even a ice...blade...thing...sticking out of one of it's eye sockets?! That's just gross.
>...Ohgod. It...It's pulling it out of the eye socket! Okay, now that's just nasty.
>"Well me, I tried to warn you, but now that ugly bastard's gotten loose. Really shouldn't have wasted so much time on yourself. Even gave it time to bring out it's weapon too, Sword too by the looks of it."

>Instead, it becomes encased in ice! But it doesn't feel cold really, and it looks like the ice has given a sharp edge to your ring too! Well, aside from where you're holding it.

>"Took you long enough to get to that. That's one of the ways our power can manifest, Wildcard [Weapon]. Basically, you can take whatever Wildcard Power you've absorbed at the time, and add it to a weapon you've got, like the Iron Ring. It also works on unarmed stuff too, so go ahead and try using it on your [Claws]. It looks like Ol' Freezy-Slash-Slash here will wait."
>And true to form, The Frost Wraith seems completely unfazed by this turn of events, and just stands there with it's sword held in a somewhat relaxed way.
>Could it actually have some measure of intelligence? The stance it's in seem to imply that but...Aren't people supposed to die when they're killed? That's just silly.

~Skill Get!~
Wildcard [Weapon]: Rank Novice
This skill measures how effective you are at applying the effects of Wildcard to any weapon you might be using at the time. Right now you can only apply it to one weapon/attack type(not including Danmaku, which is separate.) at a time, but getting better at this will allow you to affect more at once.

~Weapon Form Obtained~
Frozen Frog's Hoop [Only Accessible when under Wildcard(Ice).]
This is the Ice version of the Froggy's Iron Ring, the frogs on it don't look to happy with being frozen though...

Frost Knuckle [Only Accessible under Wildcard(Ice).]
This imbues your fists with the power of a raging blizzard! Sometimes attacks will slow the enemy down!

Frost Kick [Only Accessible under Wildcard(Ice).]
This grants your feet all the might of the frozen wastelands! Sometimes a kick from this will momentarily freeze an enemy in their tracks!

Frost Claw [Only Accessible under Wildcard(Ice).]
This makes your claws as sharp as an icicle honed by a midwinter gale, and just as cold too!














~Tutorial Corner: Wildcard Weapon Forms~
Hello all! It's your beloved Yukari here. Hanzo's a bit indisposed right now, something about a chair being an eyesore or something.
Oh well,  it's not like I could just mess with a Border to se what's going on is his mind.
...Or could I? Aaah, but I'm getting off topic. This time, you all have obtained a completely new skill, Wildcard Weapon.
This skill lets you apply the effects of whatever Wildcard status our dear little Hibachi is under, to whatever weapon she's carrying at the time.
Or in lieu of a weapon, her own fists, feet, and claws. Applying it to Danmaku comes naturally to her though, as it's the primary outlet for her- No, everyone's Power.
Right now you've discovered the Ice Form for the Iron Ring that the frog goddess Suwako gave her, try to find them all if you want little Hibachi to get better at using her power!
Yes, that means finding more weapons to work with too, not just Wildcard Effects.

>...Unfortunately, the Frost Wraith's a bit faster than you expected, as it's able to parry not just your attacks, but the attacks launched by the other you too!
>Though it doesn't seem to be doing much else. In fact, the one good eye it does have seems to have a boredd, and somewhat disdainful look. As if to say, 'Is that all you can do? Pitiful.' Maybe it was a great warrior in life? Who knows for sure.

>The froggy ring was a divine tool at one point according to Suwako, though because it was separated from it's creator, it's lost much of what it used to have. Which was likely what allowed it to be used by weaker Youkai, like the Red Kedama, and yourself.
>You don't know just how effective it's heavily-diminished powers could be though.

Parser Comments: Sorry about not updating promptly, had stuff in the way and such. To make up for it, would you guys like to just skip to Arc 2?
We're already in the tail end of Arc 1 as it is.

~BGM: Arc Complete! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOyq4U3uDx4&feature=related)~

>You are currently sitting at Mystia's Cart with Mokou, Chen, Mystia, Wriggle, the newly rescued Cirno and Daiyousei, and a strange little boy with an impressively massive mane of hair who you've discovered to actually be Ponga! He even puts that one fictional Half-Youkai to shame, that one you saw on TV with the sword like Momiji's.
>Currently, Cirno is going on at length about how she rescued herself. "And-And then, And then! I dealt the Imp a hard blow!" "Cirno...."
>...She completely forgets that there were no Imps.
>Ponga, for what it's worth, is devouring a deluxe bowl of what you once ordered a day or two ago. The dish you couldn't even find the bottom to. Amusingly enough, he's actually making good, albeit messy, progress. "Snarfle...Gulp...Gooooood." "Glad you like it..?"
>You yourself are kicking back on the cart's roof with Chen and a few Lamprey Skewers. In addition to a rather nice little bottle of that stuff Hebichi drank the last time, but not nearly as potent. "I can't believe we finally made it through all that..."

>Who would have ever thought that Cirno was inside that giant snowman-king-thing? It boggles the mind, yet makes perfect sense at the same time.
>You never did find out what happened to that zombie-thing though, but you did find a weird little dagger that was rather cold to the touch, even when presented with fire. You've made a note to have Ran or Yukari inspect it like the shoes.
>That other you went missing shortly before you rejoined the others. You honestly wonder where she could have gone. You do have a vague, gut feeling that she's alright though.
>On the matter of you rejoining the others, you made it back just in time for Ponga to deliver the finisher. Oddly enough, it involved bone-shaped danmaku. In hindsight, this actually makes sense now that you've thought about it with a few drinks in you. You idly wonder if Yukari isn't always like this, going by her offbeat mannerisms.

>"I am gladsh that you are allright too Chen, sha"

>You decide to just kick back with Chen and the skewers, and this nice little drink. Mystia, sadly, didn't have any milk, But you figured that after a day like that, you'd try something a little stronger.
>So far, you're finding it somewhat enjoyable. A little bitter, but it makes you feel all warm, which you like. Especially after all that coldness you had to deal with.
>You do feel a little wibbly-wobbly, but you attribute it more to the exhaustion than the drink. Today was a very trying one after all.
>You and Chen are lying back while staring at the sky, so instead of hugging her, you just settle for getting a little closer. "Heheh, yeah...I'm glad we saved Cirno and Dai too, Rumia'll be really happy to hear that. I bet the villagers will be able to get more fish now too!"
>Where did that little maneater get to anyways? When you left her here, she was nursing a really bad hangover. She must have wandered off after recovering.
>No need to thank 'em, you already thanked 'em for helping out when you got back. You also stuck the dagger and shoes in one of the many pockets that cloak of your has, which you've set off to the side for comfort reasons. So naturally, you're back to your default shoes.

>Well, he's humanoid, yeah. But now you mostly just want to know because it's fun finding out stuff.

>QUEST UPDATED!
Well, Ponga's humanoid now, so you don't really need to know. But you still want to know anyways on account of just plain wanting to.

>That being said, there really isn't much to do aside from relax. And to be honest, that was an exhausting day, so you really don't want to do anything but kick back, and relaaax.
>You'll probably want to talk to Dai after a while, since she looks like she'll be awake longer than Cirno will.

>Smells like she doesn't have any Lamprey or Eel ready though, smells more like just veggies and rice. But given how everyone was drinkin' a bit last night, it seems like a good idea to have something simple.
>You remember what Ran mentioned about drinking after all. 'If you ever end up drinking at any time, make sure you eat something simple the next day. You might end up with a hangover if you drink too much.'

>You decide to jump down to where the others are, and nearly land on on a very flustered Rumia in the process! "Awawawawa! Watch where you're dropping, okay? 'bout gave me a heart attack..."
>You never really did figure out why she has that ribbon though, come to think of it. You've always figured it's an accessory like yours. Yukari's told you to not mess with it though, wonder why?
>After apologizing to Rumia for nearly landing on her, you meander over to the rest of the crew, and decide to play a little joke on Chen by pretending to still be a little tipsy and hugging her from behind.
>This of course, has the effect of making her go all red in the face and gibbering incoherently.
>After this, you take your seat and Mystia soon dishes up a portion for you. Looks like it's rice topped with grilled daikon, among other vegetables, and it's got this pretty strong-smelling little salad thing on the side. It smells bad, and seems to be tinged a kinda strong-looking red, but Mokou seems to enjoy it. Even though she's sweating a bit more than usual while she's eating it. Seems she's just finished her fifth helping of the stuff too. "Hey, dish up another serving, it's still not #^#% hot enough!" "Alright already..Sheesh."

>And thirdly, the pain. The heat's quite a bit higher than you're used to, even that taquito that Yukari gave you and Ponga a long time ago pales in comparison!
>Through the haze brought on by the heat, you see that Ponga seems mostly unfazed. Kid must have a stomach and tongue made of scrap iron.

>Consider nomming on Cirno's ice wings to cool our mouth.
>You look around for Cirno to consider using her wings to alleviate the heat, only to find that she's in the same boat as you, if not worse.

>She commented that Cirno might be able to help with that though, but she's a bit unreliable due to being one of the dimmer fairies.
>And Mystia gave the spicy stuff you had to Mokou, who promptly devoured it in one gulp.

~Quests Added!~
The Ole Fishin' Hole
Mystia needs a new fishing spot since her old one got all gunked up from all the fights that've been happening lately.
Being a cat, this makes you the purr-fect person for the job! Maybe Nitori would have some input that'll help too, Kappas are 'intrinsically linked to all things aqueous'.
Or so Yukari says. You think it's just a fancy way of saying 'They like water'.


Keepin' it Cool!
Mystia needs a way to keep cold things like Ice Cream in stock easier, and Cirno's not gonna be too helpful with that.
Maybe you can pull a few strings to make things easier for her!

>Mystia chuckles in a typically hearty way. The sort you've come to expect from her while she's on the job. "What can I say? You know I take cooking pretty seriously! And come to think of it, I've been wanting to find some new ingredients lately. I hear there's some stuff that could work that grows on the Mountain, but I can't get too close because of how protective some of those Tengu get."
>It's probably about 8:23AM, but you're not sure on the specific minutes. Everyone's finished eating, and you don't think there's anything really important that Yukari wants you to take care of, so you guess you've got plenty of free time until the next big adventure.

~Quest Added!~
The Hunt for Red OctoberRare Ingredients
Mystia's been on the hunt for new things she can cook with, and has wanted to get some good from the Mountain in particular.
But the Tengu keep scaring her off! Maybe you know someone who can help with that!

>Consider asking Nitori about that as well... It's better to keep in touch with everynya!
>You do know that Ran, Chen, and Yukari have something like Long-Range communication, but that's because of the whole Shikigami-Master thing. Since Chen is Ran's Shikigami, and Ran is Yukari's Shikigami, Yukari can sometimes communicate directly with Chen via her link with Ran. You do know that she doesn't do it often though.
>Just then, Chen seems to go blank for a moment. You've learned that she's getting new orders from afar when that happens. "Umm...I gotta head back home Hibachi, That was from Yukari-sama herself! And she said just me too, so I guess I'll see you guys later!" Chen flies off at...Wow, that's way faster than normal. Must be the Shikigami Contract in action.
>But, it must be important then, if Yukari actually did something herself.
>Aside from that though, it seems the order was only for Chen. What's up with that? Well, this just means you get to do stuff on your own for a change!
>Following this train of thought, you decide that maybe paying a visit to Nitori wouldn't be a bad idea. It's always interesting to see what new inventions she's cooked up!
>You should probably see if anyone wants to tag along though, since traveling's always more fun with a friend.

>Rumia nods cheerfully. "I got nothing going on, so I can tag along!" Well, that's one traveling partner!
>Mokou, just seems to shrug. "Eh, I don't really do mountains that much. I got a little 'business' to take care of deeper in the Bamboo Forest, I've been a little late on taking care of it thanks to this mess with that little icecube. Thanks for the food again by the way, bird. I'll see about digging up some Bamboo Shoots for next time we all get together, they're pretty #%#$ healthy for you y'know." And with that, she flies off, deeper into the bamboo. She almost seems to start letting off a few tongues of flame as she goes. Wonder why? Maybe she's getting fired up about getting to whatever she's got planned?
>Dai seems to fidget and move about slightly. "W-well...I...I guess...? I won't have anyone to play with since Cirno hasn't respawned yet..." Awwww, Shy Fairy is Shy. And cute too. Not quite as cute as you or Chen, but she's cute in her own way. According to Yukari, some folks go for that kind of cute.
>Wriggle, of course, just smacks her on the back in a heary and jovial kinda way. "'ey now, chin up Dai! You'll have Hibachi with ya, and she's pretty strong too! I bet she'd even give Cirno a run for her money too. I'd tag along too, but I got some stuff back home to take care of meself. So I'll catch you guys later!"
>And that having been said, Wriggle too flies off, but towards the exit.
>Ponga, for what it's worth, just grunts in a neutral-sounding way. And, as normal, you can't even tell what's going on in the guy's head. Even now that he's got a face that you'd think would be easier to make expressions with, he's just got that blank, near-emotionless expression.
>Mystia's busy cleaning off the counter to the cart, and just flaps her wings slightly, in a neutral-ish seeming way. "I'd tag along, but you already know they'll just turn me away at the door so to speak. Plus, I have to go out and gather more ingredients for something folks have been talking about a lot lately."
>Rumia then cuts in with a cheesy grin. "Oh, That thing that's gonna be happening in the underground in a few weeks? I hear it's a Test of Strength! Wish I could join in though, but I heard the Oni are doing the testing to see if you're good enough for the real deal!" "Yeah, I got given a permit to operate my cart down there too. Normally us surface Youkai don't go down there too often, and they don't come up here too often either, but I found a permit in my mailbox earlier today from 'A Mysterious Benefactor'. I dunno who it was, but she had really fancy handwriting, and the ink was all purplish."
>Come to think of it, since you're heading to the Mountain, you could even visit Momiji, and all the others at the Moriya Shrine too!
>But fancy handwriting, and purplish ink...You can't help but think that it sounds vaguely familiar...You can't quite think of it right now, but you're pretty sure it'll come to you sometime, you just need to find the right memory trigger.

>Hibachi will not stay tuned! We must continue on! We must find out way Chen was summoned!
>Wait, what was that about staying tuned?
>...Let's head over to Nitori anyhow, maybe we can ask her about staying tuned in.
>Staying tuned? Come to think of it, you missed that show with the funny talking guys! There was a new episode airing last night! Hope Ran recorded it...Or Nitori. She knows you like that show. Or Sanae, she kinda likes it too, but she prefers Shin Hisou Z. She especially likes how Takeminakata is the patron god of Hisou Z in that timeline. Last time, it was Zeus. The Outside World sure is weird!
>But that said, with Rumia and Dai in tow, you bid farewell to Mystia, and make for the Youkai Mountain!

~Intermezzo~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmgJ2R0QXqE)

To liven things up, and put more things in the hands of the players, I've chosen to change how improving skills and status works.
Well, except for getting better at Wildcard and Wildcard Weapon that is.
So from here on, at certain points in the story, you, the players, will have a chance to spend Skill Points, here at the Intermezzo Screen, to improve on your own existing skills, and obtain some skills that you could feasibly figure out on your own.
Although, to learn some skills, you'll need more than just SP. Some might need a specific item, while others might require a certain other skill, while others still might require knowing a certain person, or even facing them in combat for a chance to add a skill they have to your own list.
You can only increase your Mana Count directly though, as Youkai Fortitude dictates your Health.

Right now, thanks to recent events, you have 140 SP. And by completing quests, sidequests, and at certain story points, you'll get more of these.
For some skills, you will end up altering future events somewhat, to allow for obtaining that skill.
Your available options are as follows.

-Skill Upgrading-
Catlike Tread E -> Catlike Tread D = 30SP
Confusion Resistance E -> Confusion Resistance D : 15SP
Sense Presence Novice -> Sense Presence E : 25SP
Youkai Fortitude D -> Youkai Fortitude C : 70SP
Youkai Strength D -> Youkai Strength C : 70SP
Danmaku Mastery C - Danmaku Mastery B : 120SP
 
-New Skills-
Knifekind Novice - 40SP, Train with [Unknown]
This skill shows how good you are with a Knife. Stab Stab Stab~

Greavekind Novice - 40SP, Train with [Unknown]
Ba-ba-ba-ba~n! Galactic Punt the foe straight into the stratosphere! Crush the earth underfoot with your mighty legs!

Swordshieldkind Novice - 30SP, Train with Momiji, Knifekind D
A path meant for those wishing to protect, but do you have the resolve to see it through?

Twinswordkind Novice - 40SP, Train with Youmu, Swordshieldkind D
"If one sword has a power of 100, then two swords means I'll be twice as strong!" -Swordsman in Red

Unarmedkind Novice - 40SP, Train with [Unknown]
You may be able to use your claws, but your skills are as poor as an unworked stone! With this, you'll eventually be able to punch through brick!

Improved Agility Novice - 50SP, Train With Chen, [Unknown], and [Unknown].
Gotta go fast! Surpass and Transcend the limits of the world with your speed!

-Status Upgrading-
Mana 8 -> Mana 14 : 80 SP








Note: You can forgo using them right now, and save up to use them at the next Intermezzo, but do you really wanna be held back?
Title: Re: Youkai Quest: The Continuing Adventures!
Post by: Kyo Tanaka on November 02, 2012, 10:39:15 PM
>well guys, I don't know about you, but I'd say we level knifekind and twinswordkind, since cats has agility after all!

Would Knife and Twin Sword skills stack together?

My will be as followed, Twin, Knife, and catlike trend.

If twin and knife don't stack together, then just level up catlike trend while I think of another possible build!

Oh, will we also apply elements to our claws? If twin knives won't work, then probably claws can be a considerable replacement.
Title: Re: Youkai Quest: The Continuing Adventures!
Post by: Hanzo K. on November 02, 2012, 10:51:41 PM
On the question of the claws, may I direct your attention to this?
Wildcard [Weapon]: Rank Novice
This skill measures how effective you are at applying the effects of Wildcard to any weapon you might be using at the time. Right now you can only apply it to one weapon/attack type(not including Danmaku, which is separate.) at a time, but getting better at this will allow you to affect more at once.

Weapon Forms
Frozen Frog's Hoop [Only Accessible when under Wildcard(Ice).]
This is the Ice version of the Froggy's Iron Ring, the frogs on it don't look to happy with being frozen though...
Frost Knuckle [Only Accessible under Wildcard(Ice).]
This imbues your fists with the power of a raging blizzard! Sometimes attacks will slow the enemy down!
Frost Kick [Only Accessible under Wildcard(Ice).]
This grants your feet all the might of the frozen wastelands! Sometimes a kick from this will momentarily freeze an enemy in their tracks!
Frost Claw [Only Accessible under Wildcard(Ice).]
This makes your claws as sharp as an icicle honed by a midwinter gale, and just as cold too!



Each weapontree is largely it's own separate thing. Though some are required to branch into others. You'll have to pass through Swordshieldkind in order to get to Twinswordkind. But you'll need to get Knifekind first.
But, in the case of some more bizarre weapons like Greaves/Boots(which are both under Greavekind), you do get a bonus from Unarmedkind, and can use skills from Unarmedkind while using Greavekind.

However, you have to meet the person who can teach you about that style. For example, you've already met Momiji, who can train you in Swordshieldkind, but you have to meet the person who teaches you Knifekind before you can start seriously approaching the Way of The Sword. Who is she? Well, you might find her during the Between-Arcs Period. You simply need to know where to look.
You'll find hints that will help Hibachi deduce who can teach her what new skills as you go along.
Title: Re: Youkai Quest: The Continuing Adventures!
Post by: Raitaki on November 02, 2012, 10:59:35 PM
Hmm...I'd say we get some Improved Agility and Catlike Tread first, and save for Knifekind :3c
EDIT: Or let's just DUMP POINTS INTO KNIFEKIND AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
Title: Re: Youkai Quest: The Continuing Adventures!
Post by: Hanzo K. on November 02, 2012, 11:04:40 PM
Oh yeah, almost forgot this one little detail.
You can trip certain flags by opting for certain skills now. This is important.

EDIT: (I suggest you try to get as many skills as you can, they'll be useful in the long run.)
EDIT2: (Also, when obtaining a new skill, you will have to wait until the next Intermezzo to use Skill Points to increase it's level. Though you can trip Bonus Events that can help you level it up during the game.)
Title: Re: Youkai Quest: The Continuing Adventures!
Post by: Kyo Tanaka on November 03, 2012, 02:09:32 AM
If that's so, then

>Points into Catlike Trend and Agility. I believe that's 80 points used up?

We could ask around and see if there's a knife specialist, maybe Nitori knows?

I'm assuming that Knifekind and Twin Swordkind does indeed stack. And since we need to get Swordshieldkind first... we can use the shield as a defensive utility!

Also, for the claws, I made a mistake there. I already knew if we could apply element... I was wondering if using Unarmedkind skill would strength the element on the claw as well.

Post by: Kasu on November 03, 2012, 02:42:09 AM
>Points into Catlike Trend and Agility. I believe that's 80 points used up?
Agreed.

Also this is just me, but we should totally put some points into Twinswordkind because duel-wielding is awesome~
Title: Re: Youkai Quest: The Continuing Adventures!
Post by: Hanzo K. on November 03, 2012, 03:10:43 PM
Ah, Wildcard Weapon influences the strength of the element.
Also, you'll need at least one more flag tripped before you can learn Improved Agility.

However, if you play your cards right, you could be tripping it sometime soon.
Title: Re: Youkai Quest: The Continuing Adventures!
Post by: Darkoda on November 04, 2012, 08:13:44 PM
I'd personally suggest putting points into Unarmedkind. We're a cat and all and we have claws, we should learn to use them. And fisticuffs rule

Besides, we can show up our mean twin when she shows up again by being a better cat.

Well I was kinda hoping there would be more interest in Twinswordkind, but we are a cat so I'll let it go.

The consensus seems to be Agility, Catlike Tread, and Unarmedkind, so I'll jump on the bandwagon.

Alright then.
Yes. Each upgrade aside from Mana(Which you guys really should've put points into) does trip a flag though, some are more important than others. S-Links are still a thing after all! And...*shifty-eyes* ...Well, you didn't hear it from me, but Swordshieldkind is important. Oh well, next Intermezzo!
And yes, this little Intermezzo takes place during the trip TO the Mountain.

>Come to think of it, you do know one person that might be able to help. You haven't visited her for a while either, on accounts of her job keeping her busy lately.

>Just then, a rather strong wind kicks up, which ends up setting Dai to spinning head-over-heels. "Is That Sooo~?!" "K-kyaaa~!"

>You turn to face the voice, to find a somewhat tall-ish girl with wings staring at you with an inquisitive yet disappointed expression. She seems to holding a little notebook too! She's pretty average-looking in terms of build and curvature. Kinda reminds you of Hatate when you first arrived on the Mountain. Maybe it's a typical build for people like her?
>"Then again, everyone knows about the new kid on the block. And her little 'Encounter' with 'miji. Thanks to me of course. I have to thank you for that chance, since it isn't often I get something like that. It really boosted sales y'know."

~BGM: Northwind Reporter~
>She shoves the book into her shirt pocket, and appears to enclosed completely in a whirlwind that vanishes almost as soon as it starts! But, she seems to be wearing a different outfit from the usual blouse-skirt combo. It's more like something a ninja would wear! "You're looking at Gensokyo's #1 Reporter, Aya Shameimaru!"
>Suddenly, she vanishes before your eyes, only to re-appear right in front of you! ...Damn she's fast. Your eyes couldn't even track her movements! Definitely not someone you want to get in a fight with right now.

Though she's on a whole other level compared to them when it comes to being pushy and arrogant. It's because of this however, that the Bunbunmaru Newspaper is one of the more prolific of the newspapers written by the Tengu.
>Of course, most people only read it for a quick laugh, or to keep an eye on Aya herself. Apparently she's had a bit of a history with printing exaggerated news.
>But according to what Kanako said a week or two ago, Tenma's been cracking down on that. Hard. Apparently the guy really takes reporting seriously. But you guess it comes with being the big boss in Tengu Society.
>You never did get to meet him like you thought about doing. After all, you're practically one of the crowd up here, given how you're on good terms with the Moriya Crew, as well as Nitori and Momiji.
>That, and you're ostensibly in cahoots with Yukari and the others. You'd think that would be enough pull to arrange for a meeting, but you don't know why it hasn't happened yet.
>That, and you're not sure if it even is a guy. For all you know, it could merely be an official title, like 'Mayor', or 'Elder', and Tenma's actually a girl like everyone else!
>But if it's just a title, then it could be someone not too different from yourself either!
>You steady yourself for a bit as your mind starts to go fuzzy for a few seconds. Aya, in response, raises an eyebrow. "Was I really that hard to track that you got dizzy trying to pull it off? I wasn't even going a third of my full speed."
>....What. How is....That shouldn't even be possible. Is she seriously that fast?

>"You're a ninja?!"
>Of course, in your muddled brain, Tengu=Near-Invisible level Speed=Ninja, so you comment on that. Which draws yet another raised eyebrow. "Ninja? Ah, that human thing. Sorry to say it, but Tengu are on a higher level than them. Wait, why did I say I'm sorry for that? I must not have had enough coffee today. Better go fix that after I take care of what I was sent to do."
>She tosses a small package at you, which you fumble repeatedly for a few moments to get your hands securely on it. "You can thank 'miji and Nitori for that by the way, since they were the ones who pushed for it. The interview will have to wait, I'm going to go get some more coffee."
>And just as suddenly as she appeared, she's off like a shot. "D-dizzy..." "Is That So~?"
>Looking over the package, you see it's got some kinda fancy crest on the side. Looks like a maple fan crossed with two swords, with a ribbon that looks like photo film.
>Wait...You faintly recall Momiji saying that it's something important, but you can't quite recall just what about it is important.

~Item Get!~
Mystery-Crest Package
A strange package that Aya gave you when you arrived at the Mountain. She said to 'thank 'miji and Nitori' for it, but you've got no clue what it could be!
It has a weird crest on it consisting of a Maple Fan overlaid on two crossed swords, encircled with a ribbon of photo film. Momiji's said it's an important thing, but you can't remember WHY it's important.

>For Momiji, it was the last time you were up here, which was about two weeks back. Same deal for Nitori.
>Momiji's house was a total wreck last time you visited too. beer cans and empty cup ramen containers all over the place! If she wasn't so obviously a girl(you can personally confirm that due to when you first met her.), you'd think she was a guy!

>Inside the package is a small card-looking thing. In one of the corners is that same emblem from the package itself. And on it says....Oh man. it says 'Civilian Passport'!
>Momiji mentioned needing a passport or an escort in order to go through the Tengu Vilage! This is great! THough you wonder what's so different about a Civilian Passport.
>Of course, it takes your mind a few moments to register that Aya's already left, so your words of thanks are left half-said. She did mention something about getting more Coffee. You never liked the stuff yourself, too bitter. Maybe you can find her somewhere you can get Coffee?
>But, since you've managed to pull yourself together for the most part, you decide to grab Rumia and Dai and drag them with you at full speed for Nitori's! "Waaah?!" "Is thaaaat sooo?!"
>Luckily, you don't need the passport to go there!

Tengu Village Passport
This is a Civilian Passport for the Tengu Village! Now you can go around there without an escort! But since it says Civilian, that must mean there's still places you can't get on your own.

>Ponder how we can surprise Momiji. A good one, too! Maybe with a fish...
>Surprising Momiji's a hard thing really, and fish is kinda smelly. She's mentioned that Wolf Tengu, out of all the Tengu races, have the best sense of Smell. Their Sight is third-best.
>So if you were gonna surprise her with something, it'd have to be something not-smelly. Which could be a stumbling-block, given how a lot of the stuff you think she'd like has some kinda smell to it. Maybe Ran could help with that though, Foxes have a pretty good sense of smell too! And she's a Nine-Tailed Fox Youkai, in addition to being a Shikigami! So she's bound to know something helpful!

>To Nitori's!
>Having decided on asking Ran for advice on that matter, you decide to speed up on your way to Nitori's! "Waaaaagh!?" "Is That So?!"
>Oh yeah, you're still holding on to them. Rumia seems to have gotten over the initial shock, and seems to be rather calm. If a bit green around the gills. Dai on the other hand...Well, you didn't even know you could even get that green. Maaaaybe you're a bit too fast for her just yet.
>Of course, that thought is soon stopped in it's tracks when something collides with you, knocking you and your 'passengers' to the ground! "Waaaah?!" "Is that sooo?!"
>"Ha-ha! Got 'em boss!" "Great throw! Now let's go finish the job and grab the loot!" Which is soon followed by a small chorus of "Yeah!"
>...Sounds like a small group of fairies. Same ones that were arguing about Kamen Rider stuff the first time you came here in fact. You've heard how some fairies tend to fall into little bands and take to attempting to rob people. Seems like they picked the wrong cat to mess with.

Enemy Group: Bandit Fairy x6, Bandit Fairy Lieutenant x2

Hibachi Status: HP 100%, MP 8
Rumia Status: HP 100%, MP 12
Daiyousei Status: HP 100%, MP 18





-Controlling Party Members/Direct Control System(D.C.S., for short.)-
Now that they've properly joined the party, you can issue Direct Control Commands to Rumia and Daiyousei while in combat.
But, this means you'll have to keep in mind their MP Counts, Health, Skills, Items, and Spellcards.
Also. Unlike Hibachi, they do not 'level up' on the Intermezzo Screen. Instead, specific flags must be triggered during the story to increase their abilities. And some of these powerups are themselves flags for others.
Some party members however, will gain powerups as a part of the plot in later arcs. ...Eh? Which ones you ask? Well, telling you guys would take out all the fun!
So, do keep patient, and continue participating! See you in the next Update too! *Hero Senki'd!*
(Nobody will ever get that Reference...Unless they played Genso Shojo Taisen that is, and messed with the Music Room. So sad.)

-Party Member Summary: Rumia-
Rumia, as implied by her skills and such, is your typical Warrior-Type party member, typified by having higher power or durability than the other party members.
In combat, she has access to Shade Arts, which are her primary means of doing almost everything that isn't a basic melee attack, including Danmaku. However, she isn't that much more durable than Hibachi is currently.
She might also hold a secret, but what could it be? Not even she knows for sure.

-Summary: Shade Arts-
Rumia has at her disposal a wide array of skills that can be used through this option.
Some require MP, others do not. I shall list what she has access to here.

-Shade Shot-
Rumia's Default Danmaku. Deals damage based on Danmaku Mastery's Rank.
Single-Target

-Shade Laser-
A light sequence of Beam-Type Danmaku that has an added effect of ignoring a small portion of the enemy's Defensive Ability.
However, the damage output is lower than Shade Shot's. But, it can hit up to three times, and targets a random foe for each hit.
(MP Cost: 1)

-Shade Burst-
A shotgun-like blast of Pellet-Type Danmaku that is slightly weaker than Shade Shot, but hits multiple randomly-chosen foes.

-Protect Shade-
If you opt to use this skill, She can reduce all incoming damage to herself by half for that turn. However, Laser and Beam Type Danmaku deal Extra Damage.
(MP Cost: 2)

-Shade Cover-
By using this skill, she can opt to take the hit for a specific party member chosen at the skill's use. Luckily for her, she's treated as under Protect Shade when using this skill too!
But it's twice as expensive...
(MP Cost: 4)

-Spellcards-
These are Rumia's Spellcards, they've already been listed in her Inventory.

-Party Member Summary: Daiyousei-
Daiyousei, as implied by her skills and inventory, is the party Medic. And, as such, has the most MP of the party, to fuel her Healing Ability.
However, due to her dislike of combat, she has almost no offensive capabilities. However, she does have other ways of dealing with things.
And sadly, due to being a Fairy, she also takes hits like a glass window, so keep an eye on her, would you?

-Summary: Fairy Arts-
This skilltype is actually not unique to Daiyousei, as all Fairy-types possess some form of it. The exception to the rule being Cirno. But we'll cover her another day.

-Fairy Trick-
By using this skill, there's a chance of using something completely random. It could help, or harm. Fairies don't have good control after all.
So it could also fail to do anything at all either. Maybe there's something to be had for using this skill enough times..?

-Hide-
By using this skill, Daiyousei can retreat from battle for a random number of turns, thus avoiding harm.

-Teleport-
This skill is always on, so there's no worries here. She has a random chance to avoid all incoming damage for any given attack.

-Fairy Kunai-
A weak spread of Kunai-Type Danmaku that, while it does sting a bit, is relatively useless at attacking.
And is, at best, a distraction. It does hit all enemies though.

>With a tap, the Wrappings snake off your legs, and back onto your arms! It kinda tickles, but it works!
>And thankfully, they haven't quite gotten around to attacking yet, so you're easily able to use your speed to get in range of one of the ones that look important and give 'er a good whack! Unfortunately, the laser you had planned to follow up with goes wide and singes the side of a kinda thorny tree, with no damage at all to anyone but the tree.
> In response however, two of the fairies open fire while you're still recovering from the laser, and catch you off guard! Kinda stings, but it doesn't feel too serious.
> Meanwhile, the three that have targeted Rumia look like they flunked out of the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy....Or so Yukari would say. All their shots are going wide, or even the wrong way entirely! "Waha~! You guys suck at this~!"
>Of course, not being one to ignore that, Rumia returns fire with a shotgun-like spread of red and blue pellets! These shots manage to really lay the smackdown on one of the fairies that attacked you, as well as one of the fairies that was attacking her, in addition to lightly peppering the one you just decked!
>Of course, in her panic at the prospect of getting shoved into battle, Dai lets off a wide spread of Kunai-shaped bullets! "G-go away!"
>Surprisingly, all of the fairies managed to blunder into at least two each! And the other important-looking one that was winding up to attack ended up getting distracted and missing Dai entirely! "Th-that was close! I'm really not cut out for this..." Unfortunately, one of the stray shots from one of the other fairies smacks into her! "Kyaaaa!"
>It doesn't look like it was too bad a hit though, but the fact that she did get hit isn't a very good thing. You know from personal experience that fairies can only take so much before going poof. But, you probably took a worse hit earlier than she just did.

>You do still have the ring, but it's inactive right now. Things don't look too bad enough to merit using it though.
>Dai seems to appear to be preparing something, but a stray shot from one of the Bandit Fairies knocks her back a few paces, halting whatever she was trying to do. "Waaah!"
>Of course, the following shot misses entirely, and she sees the third coming and managed to fade out for a moment before reappearing! Didn't know she could do that! Which she naturally follows up with another scattered spread of Kunai that seem to serve as little more than annoyances. Though some of the fairies seem to get a bit irritated.
>Of course, when you charge in for a followup punch, the fairy slips out of your grasp! In response to this, you unload a spread of seven bubbles! Of which, only three hit, but it looks like they really did a number on the one you were after!
>"Waha~! I'd better catch up! You're gonna get more than me at this rate~!" With that having been said, Rumia lets off an almost shotgun-like blast that practically knocks herself over with the force! Of course, this shot was quite effective, and the noise of the blast startles one of the fairies into getting a major face-full, in addition to winging two others!
>Unfortunately, due to the temporary incapacitation of righting herself, she takes a few hits herself. "Gwah?! That actually hurt?! Now you got me mad!" She seems to glare at her ribbon for a moment.
>And in the confusion, you feel a sharp sting. Feels like one of the fairies scored a hit on you as well.

>During a lull in the fighting, Dai takes the opportunity to try something weird again!
>....And is rewarded for her efforts by a chunk of ice dropping out of a small magic circle, and onto her head, throwing her for a loop. Seeing this opportunity, one of the Bandit Fairies slings a shot at her, sending her head over heels! "Kyaaaaaa!" This of course, makes Rumia mad, you catch her sneaking another glare at her Ribbon. "Now you done it!"
>With that, she launches another trio of shotgun like blasts. One of them clips one of the fairies, while another poor sap blunders right into the thick of one, then the other!
>"Ha-HAH! Take that!" She remarks gleefully while zipping in and out of shots. You note that she does get clipped lightly, but she seems to be taking it in stride. Then again, she's probably a bit more resilient than you are. A few shots come close to hitting you, but seem to go just a tad wide. They don't get close enough to trigger a Graze though, which is a mite irritating. A Graze-Boosted Card might be just the trick to resolving this mess in one shot.
>Feeling a bit more bolstered, you try to fakeout one of the Fairies, and let off a blast of Kunai Danmaku! This blast wings four out of the eight, One of which is really looking pretty damn beat-up. So you decide to followup with a quick smack!
>....Or so you thought, but your swing fell terribly short, eliciting a laugh from all the fairies that aren't dealing with danmaku.
>"Haw-haw-haw! Lookit 'er boss! I think we smacked her so hard she lost 'er depthingy!" "Yeah! What a riot!" In their laughter, one of them decides to sling a shot at you while you're off-balance, which hits you square in the chest. Which, naturally, hurts a LOT. Even your resilience has limits after all, you sure aren't Yukari y'know.
>That ribbon of hers seems to annoy her at times. Maybe asking later on after all this would be a good idea?
>It seems they're taking a beating. But they're dishing their own hurt too. You in particular are starting to feel it, and Dai doesn't look particularly good either. Maybe now's a good time for her to try patching someone up?

>What kind of danmaku can our adorable kitty self do right now?
>So far, you've figured out Bubble Danmaku, Arrowhead Danmaku(Chen taught you the trick to that one after Cirno was rescued.), Kunai Danmaku, and the classic Laser/Beam. You haven't figured out how to get them to bend though.
>Ran once mentioned offhandedly that there was someone who could though, maybe if you find that person, you'll figure it out?

>Fairy Healing.
>Forget about the darkness, maybe some other time.
>Curvy Lasers followed by smaller, and faster ones~
>After the danmaku, pounce the nearest fairy and keep clawing her.
> Seconding.
>If we can't pull off curvy lasers, normal ones will do.
> Get Rumia to continue using her Shade Burst, bonus points if she can get at the most badly damaged fairy.
>Sensing a lull in the battle, Dai takes the chance to use Fairy Healing! She glows with a faint green light, and her injuries fade mostly! She's still got a few scrapes and such, but she seems to be in a lot better condition than she used to! Noticing this, one of the fairies slings a massive clump of Danmaku at her!
>However, she manages to see it coming, and fades out again until it passes! "I-i can't let myself get hit by that!" Rumia, of course, lets out a cheer. "Ha-ha! Go for it! Show 'em you're a better Fairy than those losers!"
>You haven't quite gotten the hang of firing multiple laser shots, so you settle for aiming for a Fairy, and firing a laser off! Unsurprisingly, thanks to the speed of the javelin-like shot, it hits home, eliciting a sharp cry from the Fairy Bandit! Won't be much longer before that one drops you think, but there's seven others to deal with as well!
>Of course, after seeing what you did to their comrade, four of them charge at you in a blind rage! One manages to nick you slightly with a wildly-fired shot,the second actually manages to catch you in the shoulder, the third completely misses, and the fourth actually crashes right into you physically! Maybe she forgot to fire Danmaku? Regardless of if she forgot or not, that one hurt the most!
>Regardless of that, you're really feelin' the hurt now! Maybe it would be a good idea to unload a Spellcard, or have Daiyousei heal you. "H-hey now! Take too many like that and you're a goner for sure! Even if Danmaku's non-lethal and all, you can only take so much pain before you pass out. Trust me, I know!"
>Well, Rumia does have a point there, which Ran, and even Yukari herself confirmed in the past. Danmaku is non-lethal, yes, but even Youkai have their 'Pain Limit'. Once that's exceeded, they can't fight back at all. And from how you're feeling, a few more attacks like that and you're down for the count.
>In the chaos, a shot that missed you clips Rumia's Ribbon just barely. Through the pain, you catch a wisp of...A blackish, er, something escape from the nick, which seems to repair itself shortly after. And for a brief moment, while the wisp hangs in the air, you see a barely-there and highly transparent figure overlap with Rumia. You've got no idea what that means though, and it fades at the same time as the wisp does. It looked taller than her, that's for sure. You'd say it was just a little shorter than Ran. Speaking of Ran, maybe she's the best one to ask about that? So many unanswered questions!
>She doesn't seem any different for it though, but she does seem a tad dazed. Thankfully, one of the fairies that look like they're in charge of this group missed the attack she launched at Rumia, but the other one rounds on you and attempts to fire off a shot, but is startled into stopping by a voice you hear coming from atop one of the nearby trees! "Wait!"

~BGM: Green Messenger~

>Of course, the fairy, in her shock, can only babble out a surprised "H-huh?!" To which this voice responds, "Accosting travelers as they make their way to someplace important, attempting to deprive them of their valuables. They call that, 'Thievery'."
>Of course, one of the bolder fairies of the group seems to get a bit hotheaded at this proclamation. "Oh yeah?! Who the heck are you to be sayin' stuff like that anyways?!"
>Looking up to where the voice is, you see...That can't be right, Wriggle went the opposite direction! And yet, here's someone who looks, sounds, and even smells almost exactly like her. What's going on here?! It does kinda look like something Wriggle would wear though, she's got a nifty half-mask that covers her eyes and head. S'kinda like a visored helmet almost. "I have no name to give to the likes of you!"
>Oh hey, it just became a full helmet-mask! That's awesome! But you can't help but feel that this is somehow familiar, maybe you saw something like this on the TV Box once? More unanswered questions! Hooray! "Hooray!" Get back to respawning already and stop bugging the poor parser...
>Of course, the sudden interruption prompts Rumia to jump back into the fray after pulling herself together, and unload a blast of Danmaku that actually hurts your ears when she fires it off! One of the fairies that took a hit from her blast was the same one that you laser'd. She's really looking beat-up now! One of the fairies that looks like they're in charge also isn't looking too hot either, thanks to getting bombarded by the blast!
>Of course, the one that got hit the worst was one that wasn't particularly beat-up.

>Dai notices that you're not doing too good, and actually teleports over to you with her little medkit at the ready, and begins applying a sweet-scented oil to your injuries, shortly followed by a few bandages. The scent reminds you of the meadows just outside Mayohiga, but why? You gotta figure out how she does that teleport thing though.

>Well, Chen said that Arrowhead Danmaku work pretty good as a shotgun-ish attack, but she's admitted to only using them heavily in some of her spellcards. But you certainly aren't Chen.
>You could also take a page from Dai's book and use some Kunai Danmaku yourself, since you think you figured out the trick to it by watching her fire a few off. And since you're both better at it than her, and not a fairy, yours should have a bit more oomph to them.
>But as for spellcards, which one do you want to use? You have two, three if you count the fact that one's a dual-mode card. Only the dual-mode card would really be any good in this situation,
>Although, you could take a gamble and use Felyn Lance to try to take down one of the more injured ones, but with how eratticaly they're moving, there's a good chance you'll hit one of the other fairies with that salvo instead.
>While you ponder this, and other things, you pull back from the fight a bit to take a more defensive stance. Dai follows you, and shifts to be behind you. Girl really doesn't seem to like fighting. Sparked a New Skill: Support Defense! Incoming Damage Halved until Next Turn! Enemy Hit Roll Lowered by 10! 30% Chance to Graze! Support Defend Active, Hibachi will cover for Daiyousei!
What is this, Super Robot Wars? SaGa? Ah well. -Parser

>You aren't sure if it's the Kamen Rider, since the mask's completely different. The Kamen Rider's mask looks kinda buglike, but this one looks more like the mask that one guy from the TVbox wears. What was his name again....Crimson Meteor? No, no, that can't possibly be right! Vermillion Asteroid? No, that's wrong too!
>...Nope, can't correctly remember it right now, not when there's a fight going. That said, it is pretty weird that it sounds like Wriggle. Maybe she's got a twin out there somewhere or something? She is a Bug Youkai after all, it's certainly not outside the realm of possibility according to what Ran said when she talked about the various types of Youkai out there. A lot of them have a sort of hive mind thing going for them, so it's possible...
>"Eight against three isn't fair, so I'll even up the odds! Sunset Kick!" With that, the Masked Youkai jumps from her perch atop the tree, crashing into one of the fairies with an impressive Flying Kick! If it's not Wriggle, it's certainly someone else who loves to kick things.
>Seeing this, the Fairies fall back slightly to regroup, save for the one that just got kicked that is, that one's staggering a bit on account of the kick.

~Tutorial Corner: Sparking new Skills~

Like in the SaGa series(And Devil of Decline, if you're played that.), if you meet the requirements, you can also sometimes spark new in-battle skills on your own from here on.
Provided you take the right action in the right situation, and you meet the right requirements that is.
In this case, Support Defend is a Passive/Active toggle that you can designate to target a certain ally. It's another Cover-Type skill, much like the one Rumia has in her list.
Of course, this one's a slight bit stronger, due to being an MC Skill. For example, Rumia's doesn't have the Graze, It's just flat-out damage reduction.
Here, it auto-targeted Dai, due to her being the physically-weakest of the team. In this situation though, it might not be all that helpful though...


~New Battle Skill: Support Defense(Hibachi)~

This skill allows Hibachi to cover for an ally, and take hits in their place. But it breaks once she goes below 40%, so be careful using this!

>While the fairies are regrouping, it may be a good time to use the dual-mode card, try to damage all of them though!
>Dai: Stay behind Hibachi.
>Since the Fairies are off-balance and regrouping, you warn everyone that you're going to use a Spellcard. At which point, they all quickly get a good distance from the battlefield, since at least Dai and Rumia know of your tendency to 'Spray and Pray', as Sanae would call it.
>Which is to say, shoot first, aim never. That said, when you pull the Spellcard out, you notice it's a tad different from before. It doesn't feel any stronger, but it looks like the name changed! Maybe it changed after that fight with the Frost Wraith?
<Spellcard Alteration! Galvein Buster has Changed to Nine Lives Buster!>
>Bolstered by the new name, you unload the spellcard! And immediately you're knocked backwards a few paces by the nigh-deafening eruption of Danmaku that issues forth!
>By the time the dust clears, you're a bit pleased to note that many of the fairies were caught completely off guard! Two somehow managed to fly through that veritable hailstorm and come out unscathed though! While most of them survived, you did manage to take at least one down, and put a big hurtin' on the rest, save for the two that managed to survive through the card. These fairies are tougher than the usual stock, wonder why?
>And unfortunately, you're feeling a bit drained from unloading that Spellcard. That one was a pretty Magic-Intensive card after all. You find yourself wondering if there isn't a way to increase your Capacity so you can fire it twice in a row instead of shooting it just once and then being almost-spent.
>Thankfully, they're completely off-balance now! Looks like you timed it just right to really make a comeback! Noticing this, the Masked Youkai leaps into the air and delivers another stunning dropkick to one of the fairies! Looks like that one's really hurting now! How'd she pull that off from such a distance without flight though? You'll have to ask Wriggle later about insects that are good at jumping or something, she mentioned during the after-party that she's the best person to ask about anything insect-related.
>Going by how things are going, you figure that another good salvo like before should be enough to finish off the stragglers, and maybe even finally put more scratches on that one command fairy that's so-far managed to elude all your attacks thus far.

>Rumia: Attack the fairies.

>Hibachi: Meditate if we can recover from it!
>You try to focus your energy, and you can almost feel it coming back to you, but you seem to be missing something. At least, that's what it feels like anyhow. You should ask someone about this, but who?
>Seeing as you aren't really getting anywhere with that, you decide to take the opportunity to pounce on one of the straggling fairies and give her a good clawing. She quickly vanishes in a puff of smoke shortly afterwards.
>Of course, the Masked Youkai doesn't let herself fall behind either, and launches yet another dropkick on another straggler, but this time she recovers from the kick faster and launches into a blistering barrage of punches! "Secret Fist! Bug Hand Crash!" And there she goes, Unloading one hell of an uppercut that sends the poor sap flying so fast she becomes a twinkle in the sky! Which she then follows up with a pretty nifty pose! "Punishment!" So cool.
>Deciding to let out a followup, Rumia unloads another shotgun-like blast, which one of the fairies actually blunders right in front of! You can't help but wince, seeing as you could almost feel it yourself. Must be that 'sympathy pain' thing that Ran mentioned once. Two of the remaining ones dodge, but the other two get clipped by a few shots that didn't hit the one fairy. Looks like it was just a glancing blow though.
>"I don't believe it! They're fighting back! Come on girls, fight harder!" Sounds like one of the ones in charge is trying to rally them for something big!
>And just as you thought, they launched an all out attack! Three of them, including one of the leaders, went right for Dai, but she managed to fend them off with a quick chain of teleports! "Th-that was close...! If that hit me, I'd be done for for sure...!"
>Rumia however, doesn't fare so well. Several big shots launched by one of the fairies that was hanging back ended up hitting her head on, knocking her back into a nearby tree! "Guh! Owww.." It's safe to say she's not much better off than you now.
>The fifth and final fairy, one of the leaders, went straight for you, but missed by a fair bit. So now's your chance to counterattack!
