>"Blacksmith's shop?" Tilt head.>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..."
>"...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.
>"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...>You mention to Youmu that it's been quite an experience, and she nods in agreement.
>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 theOMGSHESSOCUTESTOPBEINGCUTEMYHEAAAAARTnozuchi to get confusedin an adorble fashionright?
>"Nya... is this somekind of party going on there? The night is young Chen, we might... come and take a look~"Well, that's how I thought the commands went, so don't blame me, I'm just the Parser.
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...
>Glare at Youmu for laughing at us!>You'd glare at Youmu for laughing, but you've already left! And by that token, pouncing Myon's out of the question too.
>...Pounce Myon, and lick it clean.
>Blush at Hebichi from all that cuteness.
>"What do you like to make~?"
Wait, let me recap.That's about right.
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
>"Nya, for fish, of course!"
>"Oh.. I wouldn't mind if at least someone would tell us, Nya, what's going on there?"
>"We should differently at least fly by from afar... even though the Danmaku reaches us somehow...?" If only we knew about Momiji power, which is the best in Gensokyou in my opinion.. :P
>By the way.. it's night right?
>"THE VOICE IN MY HEAD IS TELLING ME TO CHEN"
>"Well, You did kinda say she was going a bit crazy, I figured I'd have a lookie or two."
>Remember, shot types + overconfidence + doing what you want = MAIN CHARACTERRRR
>"Besides, that fairy was being mean, as you told me! Someone has to stop that bully!"
>"...mind telling me a bit more about her?"
> "Even if the faerie is strong I should be able to take her as long as I have Ponga and Hebi-chanya!">You reply by saying that it's for fish, and the fact that she's been being a bully, which you don't like one bit. Chen sorta fidgets in midair. "I tried taking her on while you were unconscious at the Moriya Shrine, I barely managed to get away...."
> Grin widely at Hebichi.
> "Now that I think about it though, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself Hebi-chan?"
>Wonder if Hebi-chan likes Sandviches.
>...Wonder why we wondered that.
>Wonder if we can make sammiches for Hebi-Sama as well.>You wonder if she likes sandviches...maybe you can make some for her?
>"Ke..? And they end us in Danmaku, Nya? That's one strange party there... ">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."
Moonlight scene with Chen hmm... Yea.... we sure would use some form of drama here hmm.....
>"Chen... *grab her both hands* For the sake of all Youkai, for freedom and justice, I will get rid of the off doers from the lake, Nya, and forever, I will protect you Chen, Nya, because you are my only sister.. *weep*"
> Giggle at Hebichi.
> "Now that I think about it, do you know what your power is Hebi-chanya?"
> Hell, dd we ever figure out our power?
>I am aware that we did not find out Ability.>You pull yourself together after getting bopped by Chen, and giggle a bit.
>"Cheeeeen~? May I ask, how do you find one's ability?"
>"You know... the thing you don't want to talk about, with black magic, that's your ability right? In that sense...."
>"Rumia?So nano ka~? What are you doing here at night, Nya?"
"Chennnn~ *blush*"
>"Rumia~!" Pounce into the shadow. "I miss you~!">You tell Chen you're talking about the thing she doesn't usually use. "Oh. That. It's kinda hard to sometimes, most of the time it's fairly obvious. But like yours, it's not that obvious."
>"Meet Hebichi, Rumia~!"
>Bop Rumia on the head.>You bop Rumia over the head lightly and say to not surprise you, she just laughs, then looks serious.
>"Dont suprise me~"
>SUPER CUTE POWERS ARE A GO. LAUNCHING IN T-MINUS 5
edit apparently it got submitted when I wasnt finished arrrrgggg
>"So Chen-shama, could you pweasssseeee tell me more about yourself?
>cute pouting powers are a go
> "Perfect timing nya~!"
> Flash Chen and Hebichi a thumbs up and a grin.
> Head off with Rumia and take Ponga.
>"They are fighting right now? I have no idea why they would hmm...">You mention that the timing couldn't be better, while you give them a thumbs up and a grin. Hebichi nods. "...Good luck..."
>Ponga, is he with us, since he can fly and stuff...?
>"Ke? You both are scared of that fairy? Nya, why would you not help out Chen...?"
>"Rumia, and since then you went for help? hmm, I see..."
>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."
>Act terrified.
>"T-This is her power?..." Scared face.
> Frown.>You frown in a somewhat scared manner, and comment that they weren't kidding when they said Cirno was strong. "Yeah, she's an Ice Fairy. Normally any one of us would be a match for her, but she's gotten stronger recently...She's been that way since....about a month before I met you I think? And she's only been getting stronger since."
> "Geez! You guys weren't kidding."
>"Well it's night, Nya? Rumia, you know what we could use that to our advantage? Let's close up, in the darkness..."
>Examine the current situation.
>Other than that... we should switch to our black suit if we can of course~
>"First the plan, it's gonna work I hope, Rumia-shama, you will join the fight as normal, I will then have a whole lot of time to Danmaku her from behind, I am going to play a few tricks on that ice fairy, since we both like the darkness, unlike that "daylight" fairy, Nya~?"
One other plan guys.. we could pretend to be a Kaska, Nya? Ponga would be or "evil spirit" :P Only if.. our allies are already down, we could "cart" them away.. for some reason I think this plan is going to work~
>Update Sub-Quest: "Check out the Black-White's house (with permission; we're a good girl after all), and check out 'that one guys' shop on the edge of the forest.">You try to explain you plan while keeping up with Rumia, but she doesn't seem to hear you over the sounds of the fight. "No time for plans, I'm pretty sure Cirno's just about got them beat!" And with that, she turns up the firepower, pouring on even more shots.
>"I can assume we're almost there, eh?"
>Get your danmaku arm ready. Cuz we're about to TEAR SOME FAIRYS UP
>Take a step back.
>We could jump into the fight, more power we have, the easier it'll take to take her down.
>Or we could sit back while they fight it our, come up with a way to take her out. But the way it seems to be going, someone might get hurt back.
>wait death what DID SHE JUST DIE AND WHAT WHATDon't do that if you want to live...
>equip bandages or whatever on your arms. SUPER POWER GOOOOO
>Fire off some Red danmaku in a circle pattern, with some blue stream danmaku coming out after that, and a random green spread. Fireworks man.
>Keep a spellcard ready juuuust in case.
>Try to use a lot of bullets. Like a lot. seriously a whole god damned lot
>Try to use a lot of bullets. Like a lot. seriously a whole god damned lot> Throw in a crap load of lasers for good measure.
>The plan was to hide, since there are already too many people there.. so hide? All the same jazz we did right? Equip athletic bandages on legs, and turn into cat? Also with so much night... there is no possible way we could not be concealed at least.. even if that was the plan from beginning yes?
>Take a step back.>Hiding might have been a viable plan you think, but since it looks like she's already seen you, there's probably not gonna be any chance of that now.
>We could jump into the fight, more power we have, the easier it'll take to take her down.
>Or we could sit back while they fight it our, come up with a way to take her out. But the way it seems to be going, someone might get hurt back.
> Might be best to get a tad closer to Cirno so we can fire off our spell card near point-blank range.>So you decide to close in a bit, seeing as how it looks like you'll have to be the one to fight her.
>wait death what DID SHE JUST DIE AND WHAT WHAT>Wait what. Did the fire girl actually die?! But danmaku's supposed to be non-lethal... :ohdear:
>equip bandages or whatever on your arms. SUPER POWER GOOOOO
>Fire off some Red danmaku in a circle pattern, with some blue stream danmaku coming out after that, and a random green spread. Fireworks man.
>Keep a spellcard ready juuuust in case.
>Try to use a lot of bullets. Like a lot. seriously a whole god damned lot
> 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! "...!?"
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT PERFECT FREEZEClose quarters melee stuff is out because she can freeze us with a touch.
>Okay, So Normal bullets are a no go. Can we use any sort of homing bullets? If so, Fire off a laser, then the homing bullets. If not, just aim with regular bullets.
>Can we also use close quarters combat? Because it's time to go all CQC in this #@$^.
What does our spellcard do again?
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT PERFECT FREEZE
>Okay, So Normal bullets are a no go. Can we use any sort of homing bullets? If so, Fire off a laser, then the homing bullets. If not, just aim with regular bullets.
>Can we also use close quarters combat? Because it's time to go all CQC in this #@$^.
What does our spellcard do again?
Close quarters melee stuff is out because she can freeze us with a touch.>Looks like normal shots won't work, and you consider trying homing shots, but you're not sure how those work.
> Turn up the music by firing more lasers and if need be, switch to cat form to find smaller gaps in the danmaku.
> Try and get Ponga to distract Cirno so we can get a good hit on her but warn him about the whole freezing thing.
>Oh well, the least we can do is to use the frozen bullets as a slight cover while dodging, but we need graze first.. Sho, Ponga would be the bait here, circle around her until we get enough graze.....
>We could also use the froggy ring on hands, since we can.. and then take it of for a "melee" attack, which is a huge mistake anyway... Also we can use Chopsticks as a weapon? hmm or Macca as Danmaku(Like komachi? :P) If yes... do it :P?
>Mokou's out since she's trying to unfreeze the dome, anyone else in a fighting fit?>You'd have Ponga bait her, but she doesn't seem to be firing, she's just freezing any shots near her. What could she be up to...? Besides, Ponga's hiding near the fire girl.
>Bullet Pattern: Fire regular danmaku at Cirno, before the bullets touch her, fire laser at her, and left and right of her.
>"S-Stay back, nya! I-I know Kung-fu!"
>"W-What!?">You make a surprised exclamation, but Cirno seems unfazed by it. "Hee-hoo, soon you'll be an ice sculpture!" You know fairies are weird, but they definitely don't talk like that.
>Try to get free.
>What does her Presence feels like? And what do we feel inside of ourself?
>>You fire off a barrage of lasers, and for some reason, Cirno just barely dodges them. You also hear a faint sound like the one you hear when you Graze. She couldn't be...Could she?can our hand turn into a drill because we really need some SPIRAL POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
>No but seriously Try to shoot her with a bunch of lasers.
> If we can change the direction of the lasers, make it so they all slowly move in towards Cirno.
>Can we trap her in a box of lasers?
>WHY IS THAT FIRE GIRL TAKING SO GOD DAMNED LONG AHHHH WE'RE GUNNA DIEEEE
>"Whats with you Cirno! Stop this!"
>Well floating and moving in place to heat us up would help, also Use the froggy ring to get rid of that icy stuff, if it will not freeze itself too much... If needed use Lazers to melt some of them.>Now that you've broken free of the ground for the most part, you decide to hover slightly, in hopes it'll stave off the chill.
>"Sho.. what are you doing here, why would you attack me? You don't seem to be from here, neither you look or sound like a fairy..."
>Buy time.. and Ponga, tell him somehow, he should help the fire-shama, as well as others to...?
>We should concentrate on a spellcard, while we still can...
>Wait.
>Hebichi = Otherworldly... So if Cirnos presence like that....
>"Guys! Either this isn't the real Cirno, Or she's been possessed! Her presence reminds me of Hebichi, and she came from some other worldplaythingy!"
> Can we make things like Hakurei orbs - you know, things that shoot bullets for us.
>Waiiit just a cotton-pickin' second...Idea!Oh God. Cirno's been possessed by the Crystal King.
> Seconding the spell card.
> If possible, make our way towards fire-person.
>"A tree falls the way it leans."
>We should grasp on that Faint energy.. maybe we could get it's attention, if anything we still have some Macca don't we?
>That shpell card of ours would prove much of use if we need to "death bomb" anytime soon.
>WEAPON GET: ICE SLASHER>You remark that a tree falls the way it leans, which seems to amuse whoever it is that looks like Cirno. "You're HEE-HOO weird."
>Maybe that faint power is us, ya know, actually copying people's powers, or somehow tapping into their essence? I mean, After all, the Iron Ring normally would be useless in the hands of most people right?
> Ice cant freeze ice... Maybe stick to using a lot of ice shots if possible? And can we freeze our own normal danmaku to "change" it into ice danmaku?
oh man we're finallymegahibachiman
> If possible, try focusing on Mokou's fire and see if we can shoot some of our own flames.>You try to focus on the fire girl's flames, and see if you can shoot some. But you just launch a smaller blast of ice than last time. Maybe using it depletes it...?
> Keep inching towards Mokou. Her heat should be able to stave off our status effect.
>Ice Slasher? ...Yeah, that'd sound about right...If it was a sword.Hibachi needs more weapon energy :3
>You try to focus on the fire girl's flames, and see if you can shoot some. But you just launch a smaller blast of ice than last time. Maybe using it depletes it...?
>"You're the one that's acting weird around here, have you an interest in this foreign currency *Show one macca*?">You tell it that it's the one being weird, then ask it if it'd be interested in one of those coins as you hold up one of them. But that only serves to infuriate it! "HEE-HOO! You won't bribe me that easily!"
>When it's not firing, we can concentrate on trying to get fire bullets out with lazer spell card combination, that we would fire toward Fire-Shama, and hopefully break the ice... literally.
Hibachi needs more weapon energy :3>Huh...maybe you can copy others if you're near them? Nah, that can't be it. If that was the case, you'd be able to copy Yukari's power. So that's not it...there must be something missing to the equation...but you're not sure what it is.
>Maybe being around people lets us copy their powers for a bit...? Try to stay near Mokou.
>Would it be a good idea to tell her about this strange turn of events?
> Fire some lasers and try firing some fire danmaku.>You defend yourself by firing a few lasers, and then try to fire off a few fire danmaku...
> Try firing a fire laser. :3
>"W-Woah..."
>Sit down.
>"...Is she dead?"
> "T-that hurt nya...">You express your surprise over what just happened in the only way you can really think of, in addition to commenting that it hurt.
>You'd leave the dome, but you're still in shock from the sheer output you just did.In before literately PERSONA/Mokou-shama or whatever we got the attack from!
>Use this to our advantage, while the enemy distracted, or stunned, we should move out the dome, probably in Cat form, but only if that is not looking at all, if we can see it at all. Either way if it's too long we might take time and hide instead until they would move in again, we would gain the element of surprise again, We might move near the wall in circular form, to be as much away as possible.
>If that thing decides to attack frontal shift back to normal form and attack again, and top that with some melee attacks, if possible, since we are kinda cornered now..
>"Well? Will you change your mind and leave? I tried to be polite, Nya..."
>" I don't know who you are... but If you could... I am waiting *Addressed to the person outside the dome*"
>We Don't get a chance to beat him for good? Oh well..>Looks like you'll be seeing more of that thing in the future, whatever it was...
>"Nhuhu"
>We won? yes...?
> Try to regain some movement.>You struggle to your feet, but stagger and lose your balance! But the fire girl catches you and helps you back on your feet! "Up y'go kid."
> Look over the shard.
> "Ugh... That was painful nya."
>"Nice to.... meet you... Your speaking currently with Hibachi, the cat with a hat... *Head.. I feel strange...*">You somewhat dazedly remark that all that was pretty painful, and the fire girl nods. 'Let's get outta here kid, think you can fly okay?"
>"Where are the others? Ponga..?"
>Pet gently Ponga for bravery.
> "Lead the way nya!"
> Follow Mokou.
> "So... What was with that whole dying thing you did back there nya?"
argle sorry irl's been keeping me from this shit LETS DO THIS>You tell her to lead the way, and lead she does.
>Just follow her. After all, She is kinda immortal. She's really the safest person to be around right now, whatnot with people having... clones and whatnot.
>Make a note that the quest is complete, all we gotta do is turn it in to Ran or Chen. Maybe Yukari?
>Actually, Explain to them what happened.
> Foo~d!>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!
> "S-smells good nya..."
FUCK YEAR FOOD>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?"
>"Are we getting some food Immortal-shama?"
>Wait... hmm... If we remember that scent then...
>"MISTER KAMEN RIDER~ ITS ME, THE GIRL YOU SAVED FROM THAT KEDAMAAA~"

>"Tell me all I need to know, about this fake Cirno that you have info..."Well, where would we be rushing? We kinda already beat the fake Cirno.
>"Nya, tastes good, want some Ponga?"
>"Sho.. what we do now? We could just rush in without warning..? Or you have any other ideas?"
Well, where would we be rushing? We kinda already beat the fake Cirno.
>Take a bite, couldn't hurt right?
>Take a couple sips of that liquid too. Rumia can handle it, so why cant you?
>SMALL TALK POWERS GOOOOOOOOOO
>"Tell me all I need to know, about this fake Cirno that you have info...">You take an experimental bite of the meat on the skewer, tastes almost like Eel!
>"Nya, tastes good, want some Ponga?"
>"Sho.. what we do now? We could just rush in without warning..? Or you have any other ideas?"
>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.teehee hibachi is 'fraid of the jelly donuts.
teehee hibachi is 'fraid of the jelly donuts.
>"So, How would we find these guys in the first place?"
>"D-Does she usually do that..." Look over to Rumia.>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."
>"Hey, do either of you.... know what happen to Cirno on the day she changed?"

>Ask any of the girls about the Ancient Relics subquest and the Kedama one. We need to learn more about Ponga, afterall.
>Ask if they know any fae that may know something about Ponga.
>Yea.. let's decide on the next course of action.. We should further investigate.. where is the real Cirno with Daiyousei.. hmmm>You ask about any old relics, and Mystia looks like she has to think for a moment. "I...I think the Black-White might have something like that. Think her seven-colored friend might have something like it too."
>Anyway.. we should be going soon, and report to Yukari about this as well...

>Look around the place, do we notice anything wrong?

>"Speaking of first impressions, How did you all meet?"

>Use him to scout the closest area, while waiting for his report later on. Until then, eat food.
> "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."
>"Sounds good to me.">You remark that it sounds good to you, remembering to not talk with your mouth full.

> "P-Ponga?! Are you okay nya?!">You pet Ponga some, and ask what happened, and if he's okay. Ponga just shivers and retreats into your Cloak.
> Go go incident solvers!>You're finally getting close to resolving this incident! It only took you what, almost 4 months? But you've only been a Youkai for that long!
> Head for the lake!
> "So do you guys know where her fortress-thing was?">You ask if they know where she had the fortress-thing, and everyone shrugs. "She was pretty secretive about it, only Dai and Cirno knew where it was, because Dai was the one who designed it. Cirno created it using her power over ice."
>"So whats the battleplan? Danmaku a-blazin'? Cuz I've been waiting a long while to get this done and over with.">You ask what the plan is, and everyone shrugs. "How about we just spread out and look for things?"
>"Well, Mokou, Cant you burn any ice you find and see if it leads to something?"
>"Well there is definitely nothing on the water as far you can see... Search the shores, nya">You ask Mokou if she can't just burn any ice she finds to see where it leads, and she shakes her head. "Too much steam would be created, due in part to this being a lake...And to be honest, I'm not that good with water."
>Thwack Rumia softly int he back of the head.>You're not back at the Cart, so you cant do this. You're on the shores of the Misty Lake.
>teehee
> Look around from the air a bit.
>Do we find anything?>You decide to fly up for a better view, and off near what you assume to be the south edge you see some kind of iceberg or something. Maybe that's what you're looking for?
>Rumia acting silly.. can we sense her... if she is not a spy or "that thing"?
>Pray to Suwako for answer then...
>"It's a... Iceberg!"
>We should observe movement, I knew it was a good idea to go for Momiji before we do this.. but.. "do anyone see what is that?"
>"Guys, There's an iceberg over there. Should we check it out?"
> Shoot some danmaku into the air as the signal.>You make a little prayer to Suwako, but nothing happens. Maybe you're out of range...?
> "'Kay then nya."
> Waiting~
>"We must gather our party before venturing forth." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93XFxKXdbqY)>You agree that it's best to wait for everyone else.
> "Um... Where's Chen-shama?"
>OHMYGODWHERESCHEN FLIP THE FREAKING FLIP OUT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH>You ask where Chen is, and everyone shrugs.
>"CHENWHEREWEREYOUIMISSEDYOUSOBADIWASSOWORRIEDIWASABOUTTOATTACKWHOEVERKIPNAPYOU"For once, I cannot think up something witty. Therefore this shall be my "vote".
>Continue shouting with gibberish.
>"CHENWHEREWEREYOUIMISSEDYOUSOBADIWASSOWORRIEDIWASABOUTTOATTACKWHOEVERKIPNAPYOU"
>Continue shouting with gibberish.
For once, I cannot think up something witty. Therefore this shall be my "vote".
oh and
>THWAP
>"CHEN Y U DO DAT"
>"You are too noisy, we don't want to wake up everyone.. just yet.. Nyaa">You flip the freaky freak out even more, complete with raving gibberish!
>Take the lead then, move to Mokou, we see anyone?>You decide to join Mokou near the wall, you can see five shadows within it. They feel kinda like the fake Cirno...One of them feels almost exactly like it in fact. "You seeing this too? I think it's more things like that fake from the other night."
>"Some sort of defense mek... mecka... meecah... um some sort of wall that pops out of the ground whenever people try to go near it. Yeah, that.">You comment that maybe it's some kind of defense wall that automatically appears when you get close? "Could be, but why do you think there's more of those fakes in there?"
>CHEN I SWEAR TO GOD I AM GOING TO THWAP YOU SO HARD
> Try calling upon our frying powers again and shoot some flames at the barricade.>You focus on that faint energy that's been ever present since the other night, in a effort to fire another blast of fire at the ice wall, but nothing happens.
> Try getting a grasp on the feeling and call upon it.
>"Hey, Can I borrow out one of those cigarette thingys? I wanna test something.">You try to get a grasp on that ever present feeling, but you're no closer than you were five minutes ago.
>Try to make a tiny ember in your hands, just a flick. See if it can light the cigarette.
>No we are not going to smoke it we aren't old enough yet
>Call upon the power of Hebichi, what kind of... power does she has?>You try to draw on Hebichi's power, but you don't feel any different.
>Call upon the power of Kero-Shama, what kind of... power does she has?
>Call upon the power of Mokou-Shama, what kind of... power does she has?
>Anyway.. try to sense the power within those shadows as well...
>Focus, and search deep within ourselves! Maybe our power will come by then!>You focus harder, and search deep within, but all that does is make the headache worse.
Welp, So much for getting Hibachi to smoke. Because that would be pretty cool.
>Ah well, I guess we'll test it later.
>"Nothing, just a weird idea I had."
>"Sho, Mokou-Shama... try your best I guess... in smoking thoguh this barrier, of course, Nya...">Maybe another time eh?
>Wait for others
>While doing this, this about the people we meet... Chen, Momiji, Ran, Yukari, Kanako... hmm. Does our power tells us something about that?
> "Okay so... One of them's the jerk from yesterday nya.">You comment that one of the five shadows is that bozo from the other day, and Mokou just grins in a way that, quite frankly, frightens you.
>Ok... just blast our way though then...>You decide to blast your way through, but nothing happens.
> Aim for the cracks.
>Well blasting our way though... consist actual blasting... Sho.. Fire away!>You decide to take aim once more, and launch a fierce barrage of shots.
>Avoid being directly in front of the cracks, in case the shadows are blasting out at us.>You barely mange to dodge when the ice shatters violently! Mokou however...wasn't so lucky. And like last time, she's engulfed in a fiery explosion!
>"I wanted to talk, and I see you got the same idea, Nya? Sho... you know... there is that one Ice fairy.. you might know, since you cosplay as her. I guess you meet her right?"
>Buying time again... Guess We can graze and keep distance, while Mokou takes beating over and over...? hmm
>Also our standard combo of Froggy Danmaku to keep any one going near us, and melee them to hell with the detached Frogy ring.
>"So, What in the hell were you doing for the past couple days; causing terror for no reason? That's grounds for an %$#-kicking you know.">You say that you wanted to talk, and that you're sure it had the same idea too. Of course, it doesn't take too kindly to that. "Heee! Talking's for losers! I'll get you back for what you did the other day!"
>Stick with Mokou, aim for the Frost's.>You decide to stick close to Mokou, and focus your attack on the frosts.
>It seems the closer we are the someone, The better our abilities get, right? And, you know, They have frost in their name so of course they're weak to fire.
>Till you can use your fire, Fire off a spread of random shots to separate them.
>Seems like.. their Danmaku is.. kinda uncoordinated, we might take our best chance in flying around, and making them fire on each other.>You'd try to fly rings round them, but it looks like Chen's beaten you to the punch!
>Get close to the faker as possible.
>Become so buff your shirt rips off.
>Shout out of rage, then throw a lot of punches at her while Nyayayayayaya
>Don't be stupid, just fire behind Mokou, Chen would take our place in distraction thus.. we need damage.>You decide to stick close to Mokou and keep up the attacks since Chen's keeping the enemies distracted, and some of the shots hit the enemies!
>Also, if that clown tried to do something, nuke him.
>Take this! All my love, anger, and sorrow!
>BURNINGGGGGGGGGG
>FINGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>Uppercut the panic'd one as hard as you can while still looking badass.
Yes I'm aiming for a cute/badass Hibachi. Problem? :3
>Get close to the faker as possible.>Of course, you decide to say to hell with hanging back and doing long range, and dash in to give the panicking Pyro Jack a knuckle sandwich. But unfortunately, Chen seemed to have the same idea, and you collide with her!
>Become so buff your shirt rips off.
>Shout out of rage, then throw a lot of punches at her while Nyayayayayaya
>No shoryuken? God dammit.
>Can we land a quick blow? If so, Do that. Like now. But be cool man.
>"Chennnnnnnnnnn!">Would've been nice, but Chen got in the way.
>"Make sure you don't fly into anyone, ok? Nya... *Scratches head*"
>Fire the froggy ring, with some tricks Suwako showed us, and keep at Mokou.. To my concern, the Idiot could make a wall of ice anytime, we need to keep close... to that warm person, Nya :P
> Try tapping into the energy again and fire a wide sweeping blast at our enemies.>You try to focus on the energy within you to fire a spread of flames, but instead, one of the Pyro Jacks is engulfed in a small explosion!
well ofc there's too many songs with three verses :V
also ber this is why we specify moar :V
>Welp. That sucked. Note to self, the pyros are immune to fire, while the frost's are immune to ice. So aim for the frosts with your newfound FIRE POWAH.
>"Sup Wrig's."
>We know its her >.>

>"Kamen Rider~!">Personal note: the pumpkinheads are immune to fire. Looks like we'll have to use the fire on the other guys!
>We know it's her, but it's not fun to just ruin the fun just like that. Might also ruin her spirit to fight.
>Chen does not reply?
>Do the same thing we should do before, since there was no indication that you were unable to do so, since hitting isn't the same as tangling up, for example, change to cat.. no problem then, Nya?
>Also, "Firefigher, Mokou-Shama, burn down the icy sword will you?"
>Kero-Shama :*
> If we're able to catch the Jack Frost in an explosion, aim another one at the Faker.>Chen did not, as she was too busy getting untangled as well.
>Any enemies that aren't near anyone, or being attacked yet?
>If so, get a few hits off on them. Danmaku, Melee, Whatever works really.
>That is as long as we get to flaunt our manly badassery
>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?>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.
>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.
>Use graze then?>You'd graze, but they're not firing any danmaku.
>Don't be surprised.. and try to look for 2 missing instead of getting surprised when they come back.
>Stall until the song ends. Maybe they'll all explode in some glorious fashion?
So parser how does it feel to get your story kicked to the 2nd page because of sango quest? :V
>Go over to Mystia in case they try to launch a surprise attack on her.>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.
>Meanwhile, try tapping into Mystia, and see if we can mimic her power, just to find out what her ability is.
> 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!
>Insert cool battle-ending quote here!> "Hey Faker! I hope you liked those flames from last time!"
>Maybe fire Danmaku, and try to graze, before firing a spell card like before?>You decide to hold off on firing off your new spellcard for a bit, who knows what it could do?
>Of course when suggesting they would fire back at as, once we get their attention.
>Also use lazers.
>"Leave them all to me!"
>Pull out our new spellcard.
>Insert cool battle-ending quote here!
>Use our new spellcard!
> "Hey Faker! I hope you liked those flames from last time!">You shout for everyone to leave them to you, and of course, Mystia flies to a safer spot. Mokou seems to not care either way though, she looks like she's having too much fun slugging it out with the remaining Pyro Jack.
> Not them best but meh. It's our first time doing this kinda thing.
i am okay with this> Cue appropriate music. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IJHA5gaX_Q)
> "GALVEIN...!!!"
> Punch dramatically in the direction of the Faker.
> "BUSTEEEERRR!!!!"
>Now is the time... wait for Danmaku, so you don't run into your own...
>Erupting burning froggy ring!
>Music plays while whoppin their asses (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8BYBaDz0Ic)

i am okay with this>You decide to hold back and let the spellcard do it's work.
>Let the spellcard do its thing, and end it with that ^
>You warned her, you really did.i told you about the grazing bro
>You told her about the Danmaku!
>All we can see? Well Just shoot lazers at the clown and see if it's wants some more punishment.
>"Nya? Where did everybody go?"
i told you about the grazing bro>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.
I TOLD YOU DOG
>"Ehhh, Sorry about that. But you can heal, the faker cant, so its all good right?"
>oh man this new spellcard is so awesome :*
>okay thats it ITS GOD DAMNED GO TIME> Better idea! Throw the ring as a decoy and follow it up with LASER BARRAGE!
>LASERS AIMED TOWARDS THE FAKER KILL THE BASTARD DOITDOITDOITAHHHHHH
>Try Dia yourself then on Mokou, wait.. what's Dia?>Dia? Why did you even think of that? You don't even know what it is! ...It's something you eat, right?
>"Mokou combination attack!"
>Support Mokou as best as you can.. maybe Ponga can help in that matter too? A hug?
> Wrap the Athletic Wrappings around our arms if we haven't already.
> Brandish the Iron Ring.
>okay thats it ITS GOD DAMNED GO TIME
>LASERS AIMED TOWARDS THE FAKER KILL THE BASTARD DOITDOITDOITAHHHHHH
> Better idea! Throw the ring as a decoy and follow it up with LASER BARRAGE!>You decide to take the Wrappings off your legs, and put them on your arms instead.
>"Ponga!"
>Make sure you direct your rage at the clown...
>Also take your ring back.
> "This lake is going to run red with your BLOOD.">You can't even do any of this!
> Charge at the Faker and release our rage at it in melee range in the form of lasers and flames (if possible).
>Ke? Loli abuse?
>"Nya.....n" *In pain*
> Open eyes.>Whatever's poking you, it's a bit sharp.
>Oh boy. We dont know what we did, do we?>Nope, you try to remember what happened, but all you get is a reddish haze.
>"Ugh... Everything went red, and here I am."
>Get ourselves a rope and tie it on the ceiling.>Why bother? A branch is better... :3
>"W-Wait, I might'va k-killed someone?!"
>oh god we are a terrible person

>Turn back... that smell.. is it food?
>Follow the smell.
>Food first ponga later sadly.

>"Woah woah woah! Wriggle was a girl?!"
>Freak out.
>"Thank you... for helping me find my beloved Ponga..."
> Sigh a bit.>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?"
> "So are we gonna check out that base next for your friends?"
>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.
She makes things ofc :VIppon-datara?
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.
>"Hebachi, What'cha make?"
>Try to get our mind off worrying for a while.

social links werent originally planned were they? Seems like something you'd just do because of ya know Persona.

> Shouldn't we finish what we started first though? Don't wanna give 'em time to potentially regroup.>You debate what to do until you decide that you should probably finish what you started.
>Sudden flash of inspiration: If we obtain another bowl, we can dump the contents of this one upside-down into that one and easily see what's one the bottom...

>Uhu... Chen's got the place covered...
>"Aren't we... still on the enemy territory perhaps? Wriggle is still missing...."
>We can always try to tell stories of our own, Nya~
>Huggle Hebichi!>Ah...such a dilemma...do you hang back and just leave them to their devices? Or do you dive in with gusto?
>"Nyaaa~! Tell us more stories, great Hebichi-shama~!"
>Story time, With your host Hibachi!
>Guest-starring the famous pop-sensation known as Mystia Lorelai!

> Tell the story while we wait for Wriggle.

>"You look tired..."

>"Well, What happened? Tellmetellmetellmeeeeee!">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."
>PONGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. BABY COME BACK
>Oh we aren't that bright (Yet), but we can come back for food right?>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.
>Also do not forget to tell everyone, we should take turns in camp guarding, Nya?
>"Nya, Wriggle....shama, when was the last time.. you checked out that hideout...?"

>Find a place to roll up anyway.. Chen's a loner, just like a normal cat, Nya?
>No that it matters that we need to do it now.. Wriggle can wait...
>Also make sure everyone is sleeping, and safe... and everything is all right, Nya?
>Dream about Ponga.>You look around a few more times before finding a place to snooze...This is a pretty nice place. If you didn't already live at Mayohiga, you'd probably want to live here.
>Bust out some sweet beats, and some smooth moves.
>Hope something important happens, if not, Look around.
>Move forward.>You decide to bust out a dance, and it worked! Definitely a dream. Too bad nothing happened.
>"Wah who are you what are you doing here whyareyoustalkingmeinmyowndreamsGETOUTTTTT"
>flip the freaky flip flops out.
>"I am.... not scared of you, Nya!"
> Eye the cat warily.
>...Give the cat our ball of yarn.>You stare at the cat cautiously, and it just stares back in an overall amused way, like it thinks it's stronger. What a strange cat!
>If we don't have a ball of yarn, ask the cat if it wanna dance with us!
>If it makes a rude remark after the above, prepare for awildcatfight!
>Alternatively, dream up a ball of yarn if the above fails.
>WHAT IS GOING ON CATS GO NOT TALK NEKOMATAS DO EVERYTHING WE KNOW IS A LIEEE
>Proceed to have a mental breakdown...

>"Ke.... Nyaaa~?"
>"I mean... what's going on?"
>Wake u-->You stretch around a bit and crawl out from under the cart.
>Ohhhh that hurts. That hurts bad. Rub our heads and see if this headache goes away. Owwie.
>Get out from under that cart, You dont wanna get hurt again.
>"Ungh... Hey guys. What's going on he- owwie my head"
>From the voice of the cat's, do we know who it was?>The voice didn't really seem that familiar, so it's highly unlikely that you know whoever it was.
>Did we ever got a chance to feel her presence? If so, was it similar to the fakers, the real deal, or just a dream?
>...Did Chen ever mention another nekomata?
>"Looks like you wasn't excepting a cat, Nya...">You remark that it looks like she wasn't expecting a cat, and Mokou just stares. "Damn right I wasn't expecting one! I mean look at you! You're all...furry and stuff."
>Is Chen around? Search..
>"Sho... where is everyone?"
>Maybe she was a Kasha?>She could've been, but you've never met one, so you're not sure how they're supposed to smell..
>But can they come into our dreams...?
> Shift back to human-form.>You shift back to normal form, which causes Mokou to let out a cluster of profanities. Looks like she's not used to this.
> "So I take it we'll be heading back out when everyone gets here nya?"
>Find food.>You look around for some food, and find the leftovers of last night's beef bowl! It's been out all night, but it looks and smells just fine.
>Maybe we should take care of Hebichi first...? She's seem to be.. somehow holding on her own though... or being responsible herself...
wait we're a kid in terms of human years yet we don't know who Keine is? WE MUST FIX THAT.
Though erm do we play as Keine for this one bit or does it not even really matter at this point. :V
>"Are you sure everyone's got time? I... er, don't really want to interrupt on any part of your days."
>Well we can offer Chen's food, or try to make some breakfast ourselves... since Mystia is hanging around...>You ask if everyone's actually got the time, and Mokou just scratches the back of her neck and shrugs. "Think so, I could be wrong though."
>Wait....
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.
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.
You do mean Draco right? Purvis didn't parse Keine Quest.

>Try to gently wake up Chen, It's time really...
>"Meanie..." rub hand on cheek.
>Remember to ask Mystia for some ice.
>Try again, this time avoid the lash-to-the-face!

>*Shrug* at Mokou

>Wonder around the room very dizzily.

>Spin spinny spin~
>And Chen?
>"Rumia-shama?"
> Take some deep breaths to get rid of any remaining dizziness.>You take a few deep breaths to get rid of any potentially remaining dizziness from all the spinning, and it works for the most part.
> "Hah... At this rate it's gonna take forever to get going nya...">You remark that at the rate things are going, it's gonna take forever to get going.

> Try to see if we can spot the rose-person.>You look in the direction of where you see the colors, and find the girl from before sitting right next to you!
>"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!" "When everythings worse, our work is complete!">You recite some weird phrase from a show you once watched at the Moriya Shrine with Sanae, and the mysterious girl just laughs some. "Roses....I always did love them~"
>Wait, roses... Maybe Mystia's summoning a demon from the land of...demon... land... place thingy! WE MUST STOP HER AHHHH
>Shoot some Danmaku at Chen, not directly at her, but enough close, so she could graze....>You decide to off-handedly fire some danmaku towards where Chen is in an effort to possibly wake her up, but you completely miss.
>Try dancing to Mystia's song!>You decide to stand up and try dancing, but you end up just falling flat on your face.
>"Yes~"
>She's nice~
>"Ny...... I never danced before... "*Shy*>You shyly take her hand and she helps you back on your feet. "~♪"

>Reach out for the pocket.
> Check pocket.>You comment that you hope you'll meet her again but there's no response from anyone but Mokou. "Meet who again?"
> "Uh... I'm assuming you didn't see her, right Mokou nya?"
>"Well either way.. you can believe there was someone else, or not, Nya~">You comment to Mokou that she can either believe that someone was there, or not. This is Gensokyo afterall, stranger things have happened.
>"It's Gensokyou, Nya..."
>Smell the rose, maybe it has some other clue... It's.. blue?

Seriously, Why haven't we read this yet? We got time, lets do it.
>Kick back and read the newspaper.>You decide to read the old newspaper you got back before you learned how to fly....just how old was this thing again?
Seriously, Why haven't we read this yet? We got time, lets do it.
A Mystery at The Garden?
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?
> Third one probably refers to Ms. Rose.
> "Nya~"
>That Aoibara-Shama must be... Koishi?
>Save Hebichi from Rumia's poking, make poke back yourself...
>"Nya... I will go look around, you can keep things from getting hot here Mokou"
>Go on a patrol.
>Explain panicky to Mokou about the third article.>Maybe that third one is related to the girl who you danced with?
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~>As you walk, you think about the third article,and how although it's old, and might already have been solved, it might still be useful.
>Think about the third one. Sure, It's old, And its most likely been solved, but still.
>Note to self: Get some money to buy another edition of the BunBunMaru. Keep up to date and all that~
> I though... flying is more of a kind of patrolling... however... We should examine surroundings of where did we find that pagoda, any clues to who left it here?
>Try to light it up then...
>"From darkest day to blackest night...">You look at the surroundings, in hopes that you'll find a clue as to who left it there.
>Did the lantern light up? Well crud.
> Look the Pagoda over.>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?
> Head back to the cart.
>"Cheeeeeeeeeen! I found some sort of lantern that looks like a house thingy!"
>"Except it doesn't work...."
>Ask everyone if they have news.. share your findings, and talk about what's next>You make your way over to the cart and show everyone what you found, Rumia, Mystia, and Chen all go "Oooh.." and "Ahhh.." when they see the Lantern.
>"Well why not kick it down?"
>Sho... there is a entrance now, Nya?>It would seem so, according to Wriggle.
>"hmm... It does looksh, nice, Nya.... Maybe it's a magic lamp? *rub it*... hmm *smell it*.... No one have a clue who would leave it in the middle of the road?"
>Before leaving, make Rumia have a nosebleed through being all cute!>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.
>Have we told Chen what ever happened in our dream?
>If not, "Hey Chen, are there more nekomata in Gensokyo?"
> "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.
> Take to the air.>You take off into the air, and the rest follow, except for Hebichi and Mystia.
> "Lets rock."
>Timeskip a go-go baby!Timeskip? You got it!
>Kick it down for dramatic effect.
Jeez parser, You're on a roll today eh?
>I guess the idea is not to make that much noise? We could just cut the door open with lasers, if it's locked... otherwise we could just open it...>You can't kick down, or cut through, what isn't there!
>Kick it down anyways! That's right, Kick down the air. Make it your slave. BEND IT TO YOUR WILL.
>If that doesn't work, then just pout and go inside.
>"stupid air not letting me do what I want"
>"After me, Nyan..."
>Go through!>You walk up to where the door was and kick one of the larger door fragments....OW! That thing's harder than it looks!
>Use our senses to find any traps!
>"It's cold in here, Can you make like a torch-thingy or someithng pwease?"
>adorblenes is a go
>Yes.... let's ask her why then...
> "You okay Wriggle nya?"
> Keep following~
> Keep an eye out for interesting things.
>>You decide to work up the courage to ask Wriggle if she's okay, and she kinda nods, kinda shakes her head."NO MOKOU, DON'T DO IT! MY LOVE FOR YOU IS AS FIERY AND AS UNDYING AS YOU ARE, PLEASE DO NOT DIEEE"
>Follow closely to Mokou as if we're very afraid.
>"It's cold in here, Can you make like a torch-thingy or someithng pwease?"
>adorblenes is a go
>we have fur... Nyan :P>You consider asking Mokou to make a torch or something, but then remember you can just shift back into your Cat Form and use the fur!
>Have additional clothes? We could use them.. or just light something on fire... with Mokou's help.. some wood for example... Like the one outside, we aren't that deep you know...
>We could ask Yukari... because she is stalking us....I hope she is not sleeping...
>"Mokou! We're freezing...."
>Walk over to Chen and rub our body to hers in attempt to warm up.
> Are there any other corridors in view?
> If not, did we pass any?
>Keep an eye out for anything that looks different or suspicious.
>"I think that all these rooms are a.... dumbgeon or whatever they called it in that one game. Basically we have to go through the easy ones first and fight the boss!"> Actually, I think we should stick with Chen real quick and go for North 2. We can always get the other guys to check the other corridors out.
>South 1 is the odd one out... Let's go with that one.
>Obviously the one with the weapon has to be the most dangerous, since it's a symbol of a weapon!>Obviously it's some kind of weapon! So that path must be one of the more dangerous ones!
>Try to use our presence ability to feel what's ahead on the paths, just to be safe.
>"I think that all these rooms are a.... dumbgeon or whatever they called it in that one game. Basically we have to go through the easy ones first and fight the boss!"

> Actually, I think we should stick with Chen real quick and go for North 2. We can always get the other guys to check the other corridors out.
>We should go together, so we will spend less resources on fighting, thus we will have more for the "Boss".>You contemplate which one to take, then an idea hits you! You remark that it must be like that one thing in that one game.
>"Nya, We should go one room at the time."
>Take everything we can get our hands onze~.
oh nooo.... they are summoning demons... It's like that one school, that one guy had demons to terrorise the entire school... yeahhh...>You walk over to the wreckage of the desk and fish around in there until your hand closes on what was shining...
>Resist the temptation of cleaning.
>Take some shiny thingy.. make sure it's not going to make you dirty, use the paper maybe?
>We could start a fire... but it's not really a smart thing to do.. but the shelves and the desk will come in handy :)
>"That's it? What a rip. We should'va gotten like some superawesomedeathbeams instead of a stupid key. Hmph.">You feel kinda ripped off, but then remember that to get into the dungeon, you need four keys!
>.. ok let's move to the next room...>Time to head back to the corridor then, so you lead everyone back to the first hall.
>"Sho... the shpear, Nya?"
>"Anyone needs, fire, Nya?"
>Move>You decide to investigate the other pathway marked with a Magic Circle.
>North 1
>Move
>South 1
Yes we are, but 100% explored is neccesery...
Sorry I haven't really been here. With computer troubles and Dolphin Rider Koishi taking up all my time, weeeeellll.
>Go into South 1.
>If possible, Find a cardboard box. After all, they're great for sneaking!
>Oh and a rubber duck
rubber ducks an inside joke YOU MUST FIND DUCKY
>Use our kitty senses to find out dangers ahead!>You figure that since you haven't explored the path marked with what might be either a wand, sword, or spear, you should explore that one next.
>As soon as we find any, jump behind Mokou in kitty form.
>Can we put on any of the armor?>You could probably use any one of the helmets like a turtle, but aside from that, the armors look almost like they were made for giants.
>Take the armor into mind incase of ghosts who want to eat our souls possess said armor.
Just a quick tip: Dont put on any of the armor yet, As I've got this feeling if its possible to put it on, It's a game-changing choice.
>"Nyan.... they are too big for, nya"
>"Mokou, Nya, wanna try holding that sword?"
> "Looks they could come alive nya...">You ask Mokou if she wants to try lifting the sword held by the first armor, but she just looks at you like you're crazy. "You kidding me? Even I'd have a hard time lifting that. Whoever used that had to have been some kind of monster, I don't think there's many Youkai who could swing that thing easily."
> Study the glowing red runes and glyphs on the gauntlets.
> Is there anything else of note in the room?
>"Well... I don't want to be the first one to know what those armors are for... If there is nothing else... Then.. let's leave....">You decide to take a closer look at the gauntlets that the third armor has.
>I warn you, I warn you about the weapon symbol!
>These armor... they're all possessed by spirit?
>Would the spirit be harmed if the armor would be melted?
>Ghosts?! Ruh roh raggy!
>Stay on the evasive: We get hit once, we're going to be down.
>Just let them group up in the middle and see if they would attack, while we just conveniently sneak away from their large bodies...>Are the armors haunted or something? If they are, it's not any kind of spirit you've seen before.
>Otherwise, try not to get assaulted...
>On the other hand, that guy with mantle is probably what we should aim for, sho make sure that everyone does that.
>"Akuryou taisan, douman seiman!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX050NcDNAU&feature=related)
>If that doesn't work, just try not to focus on your failure and shoot some danmaku or something...
>We no buddhist monk, Sutras wont help...>You try a small sutra you saw in a videogame that Ran confirmed to work, having used it herself in various Shikigami things she does.
>As in, tell everyone to focus on him, not just think about it... jeez...
>At this rate, is much better to make each other fight, therefore, luring one on top of each other is the best way really, we could try even to enter one of them in cat form, Nya :P
> If nothing works we can always go for a good ol' fashioned Galvein Buster.>You guess you could use that new spellcard though. will you?
>Use the spellcards now. It seems like they're getting stronger, so we have to take them down fast!
>Is there anything else in this room that may help?
> Break out Galvein Buster and try taking out the one with the weakest presence first.
>It would seem the only one that would be needing care of is the mantle.>You decide to pull out your new spellcard...But that's not the Galvein Buster you remember using last time!
>So I guess coming inside of one, and blasting it from within is the best thing to do, Nyan
Gotcha Force? :3
Um, Is it Birth by Sleep?Parser's Corner: Nope, and Nope. here's another hint. "The four gods who plot to rule the world, led by a man called 'Arek', rule from their floating fortress."

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.
Sadly, We cant teleport, which sucks. Would'va been awesome though.
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.>You keep your guard up and make sure to keep close to the outer edges of the room, waiting for the cloud to dissipate...

Parser's Corner: Kasu hit the nail on the head, Despite being Ice-element, King Frost is Immune to Fire. He's the King, so its a given.
>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.
> Hmmm... Maybe we can try to lower his guard by making him a bit "hot-headed"?>You decide to scatter the wood fragments inbetween you and King Frost, and ask Mokou to light them on fire. "You want those lit up? I have no idea what you've got planned, but I'll go along."

> "You know, for a King you don't seem that sophisticated, nya!"

>If Ponga's here, then there must be a reason...>You let out a short exclamation, and focus on that blur's presence...
>Take Advantage of the temporary distortion of sight! Hide in a spot to ambush, wait until the enemy's defenses are lowered, then hit with a powerful attack!
> "GOOOOOOOO PONGA!">You decide to cheer for Ponga, and stay in the hole that was left behind...
> Keep huddlin'
> Try and see if we can see the bottom of the hole.>You look to see if you can see the bottom...But it looks like this thing is really deep. Maybe you'll just...pop down there for a bit to explore.
> If not, descend and see if there's anything interesting in there.
>Do we still have, Some wood, Nya~?>No, it was all burnt up earlier on.
> Do we still have the Pagoda? If so, try and use it to get some light in the area.>The pagoda you still have though, but you don't really know how to use it. It really only shone a bit after you tripped over it.
> Hold it up and stay cautious.
> If we get some light, look in the direction of the chains.
> "Anyone here~ nya?">You call out to find out if anyone's there, and you're greeted by a sudden crashing noise!
> Headtilt.>You headtilt puzzledly as you try to figure out just what the heck is going on on the other side of the wall.
> Try to get a better look at the figure.
>Nya in confusion. That may clear our head.
>Get a good look around. Can we see our impostor?
>Are we good enough at telling presences to know where this presence is?
> Keep cautious.>You meow in confusion, this is all so confusing...
> "W-who are you, nya? You cant be me. I'M me..."
> Watch carefully.
> "Well then let me ask you this. Who did I come here with?">You ask her to prove that she's you by asking her who you came with.
>"Like talking, Nya? I don't. Join me and let's finish what I have started."
>"Like talking, Nya? I don't. Join me and let's finish what I have started."
>Don't say this. Out of character. Why would we want to be friends with a weird version of ourselves, nya?
>"N-no...! I would never have wanted that..!">You have a small internal debate with yourself for a short while. Then decide against what you had initially thought.
>Hiss at the cat.
>"Why are you here me?! Are you like the dark side of me!?"
>We don't get any despair attacks or things like "What are we fighting for!" ? Then yea... ask the other you about yourself maybe, if you don't want to confront it directly...>It's pretty weird though, in the stuff you've seen on Outside TV that had this thing happen, usually the copy would try for a mental attack, usually on the original's ideals and stuff.
>On the other hand, ask the other you "If you are like me, Nya, then why you don't talk like tish, Nya?"
> Spare a glance at the ice.>So, you decide to look behind you at the ice and...whoa that was close! One more second and you would've been an ice-kebab.
> "Eh? EEEEEH!?">You let out a surprised shout and...
> Dodge the damn thing and apply bandages to legs if not already applied.
>"Y-You're me right nya!? Help me take this thing down!">You ask the other girl that if she's really you, then she should help you take it down.
> Try drawing on some fire from somewhere and applying it to the ring.>You try to draw on fire from anywhere and try to apply it to your ring but...
> Imbue our claws with ice and head for the Wraith.
> Use our speed to run around it, striking whenever its back is towards us.
>Signal the other Hiba to do the same.>You focus on putting the cold in your claws and....
>If possible, strike together when a perfect moment is found.
>Do we know anything holy? Perhaps one method in defeating this thing is holy, since it is an undead?
>Meanwhile, let us be the bait while our other self can take him on!
> Continue to attack, but switch it up with some bursts of danmaku here and there.>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.
> Try calling on any power that might be left within the ring for our Wildcard.>You quickly check the Ring for any remaining energy and...
> Take a quick look at our surroundings for anything that looks exploitable.
> "Cover me, nya!">You shout to the other you to cover you while you dash into the chamber. "Keep it busy? Alright, I'll give it a shot!"
> Head for the thing in the chamber.
> Try to dodge while doing so.
>If it gets really bad, throw something of ours to distract him for a moment!>What do you wish to throw?
>Try throwing in some Macca. Maybe it can work on him too?
> 5
> Jack the shoes and put them on.
> How does graze work here again?>Grazing was used to boost spellcards. (Perhaps you should reread the first thread?)
> Charge the Wraith, keeping an eye out for attacks.>You decide that now's as good a time as any, and charge at the wraith!
> "I-I'm okay, nya!">You shake off the dazed-ness a bit, and say that you're okay.
> Face the Wraith and let loose a focused Galvein Buster.BGM: Boosted Energy
>What happens if our other self gets seriously injured?>To be honest, you have no idea, this is your first time running into her after all.
> Try to stand our ground despite the recoil and focus. Let's show this jerk that we mean business!
>"Get out of the way!" to our other self just to be on the safe side!>The initial shock's faded, so you can get a handle on it a bit easier. It's still pretty wild though, so it's taking just about everything you've got to keep it under control.
>Try to direct the bullets at the boss, and make the bullet's gap smaller to avoid him trying to dodge!
> Ride out the rest of it and take stock of the situation.>Well, there's nothing to be done for now so....
> Try and focus on the tingly feeling. See if we can get a grasp on it.>You focus on it and....
It's all good, don't worry.
> Check the shoes real quickly while we wait for the fog and whatnot to dissipate.
> Stay along the wall and fire some shots into the fog to see if something happens.>You keep to the wall, and fling a few shots in to see what happens.
> Can we pinpoint where the shuffling came from?
> If so, fling some shots at the noise.
> Only once thing to do then.
> Head into the fog, but stay frosty.
I'm with Kasu on this
I don't mind however it goes. A quick recap wouldn't hurt, either.
I don't mind skipping unless there's still some stuff you have left to do to wrap this arc up.
Just in case:
> Soldier on!
> Kick back and relax. It's been a weird day.
>Store arms in the chest.
>Find some milk to drink from!
>Thank everyone for good work
>Hug and thank your sister too >.<
>"I am gladsh that you are allright too Chen, sha"
>Show the dagger to everyone.
> Realization time: Ponga has a humanoid form now, so maybe he won't need Kedama-specific food?
> QUEST COMPLETE
> Ask Dai about a Kedama's diet.>You'd ask Dai, but now it seems Cirno's started trying to get her to have an Arm-Wrestling contest in midair. Fairies are weeeeird.
> Try licking the flat side of the dagger. Promptly panic if our tongue is stuck.
> Maybe return to Mayohiga afterwords? (Especially if we can't unstick our tongue in a way that doesn't involve tongue amputation or fire, in which case try to somehow get help from Yukari/Ran despite temporary speech impairment)
>Can we use put Wildcard to be able to mimic the knife's icy feel? Might be handy when ice is needed.>You aren't sure if you can use you power to derive [Ice] from the knife or not yet, you figure Yukari or Ran might know though.
>Ponder about other kinds of items.
>Give our ball of yarn to Mokou. Giving someone a ball of yarn is the best way of thanking someone!
>If we got nothing else to do, wrap the knife up in something so it won't freeze anything, and let us have our peaceful cat nap.
>Ponga route is a go.
>And so Hibachi dreamt of Battle and and Danmakuoh whoops wrong thread
> Fall asleep.
> Dream of exciting adventures in the land of ostrichs where fish fly in the ground.
> Adorably mew while making running motions with all fours.
>Dream of chaotic angels of destruction with metallic wings decorated by crystals of the exquisite colors of the rainbow
>One little kitty... Two little kitties... Three....>In lieu of chilling until the party winds down, you instead opt to just wind down to take a snooze.
> Jump down and greet everyone.
> Grab some of our own portion and get eating.
>Act like we're still slightly tipsy and huggle up on Chen, just to see her reaction
>"Mokou, it looks like you're sweating a river... Should you keep eating that?">Mokou gives you a funny look. "You kiddin' me? It's nowhere near my limits!" And, as if to emphasize her point, she empties the bowl into her mouth and swallows. She's starting to let out a little steam now!
>"...Can I have some too?" We need to eat all things for survival. Obviously we must be able to eat spicy stuff!
>After taking the first bite run around like our mouth is on fire.
>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.
> "N-Nya....">After letting out a pained meow, you decide the best thing to do is air your poor little tongue out.
> Stick our poor tongue out.
>Can we ask Cirno to slightly freeze our tongue?>You would try this, but you can still only manage pained gibberish, meows, pained meows, gibberish, gibberish-like meows, and meow-like gibberish.
>Consider sharing ball of yarn with everyone. Screw tea parties, ball of yarns are a better way to have fun after a fight!
> Do we have a drink or some water? Either way, stick our tongue in there and cool it off.>Looking around, you see a steaming mug of tea next to your food.
>Help Cirno get her head out of the bucket. Drowning is bad!>But on the bright side, you aren't as incapacitated anymore, so you look back over to where Cirno is and get up to attempt to help extract her from her situation.
> "Nyaha~ Can't be helped right?">You decide to have a little laugh at Cirno's expense, which doesn't seem to offend anyone. Dai seems used to it even. "That's the speed of things. I just wish Cirno would think a bit more before running into things..."
> Sit back down if we aren't already.
>"So how did she had caught up in that mess?">Well, you're about as clean as you can get right now without a bath...Ugh, you don't like baths though. But the prospect of what comes after the bath is something heartwarming. A nice and fluffy towel, and some dried fish.
>"Do you have any idea what that... thing was? It even impersonated Cirno's body!"
>Are we clean?
>If not, lick self to clean self.
> Maybe Yukari or Ran could help us a little with this? Then again, they may just try to get us to find out on our own, but it's worth a shot.
>Let's wait a few more days. We could assume that this will be another>You figure that Yukari or Ran would probably know more about this, but that they might also try to get you to figure it out on your own.periladventure if it's from Yukari, and we shouldn't go into a new one so soon!
>"How long does it take until she gets back?" Point at Cirno.
> Grin a little.>You grin a bit, and Dai smiles slightly in a shy sort of way, as she usually does. "Thanks, that means a lot to me.."
> "My lips are sealed nya."
>Look around for Rumia. Is she around?>She is, but she's eating. You've learned the hard way to not pounce someone while they're eating. Yukari personally saw to that, as she was the one you pounced. Brr.
>if so, then pounce her with all of our cuteness! Let's see how long she can withstand our cuteness.
>...Compare our cuteness to Chen's.
> Finish chowin' down then.>Well, you decide to finish chowin' down.
>Request for Ice-Cream.>You would, but you know for a fact that Mystia doesn't have any ice cream in stock. She says it melts too easily for her to stock it outside of special occasions.
>Finish the spicy food in one go, then quickly eat the ice cream to cool the spice!
>Perhaps we could ask Nitori about making things cold even in hot days... It'll be great for Mystia!
>Play with tail to pass time.
> Current time?>You conclude that Nitori might have a way to help. Perhaps you should visit her later!
> Since we've got time, let's think abut hitting Nitori up for some help.
>Are there anything that'll allow long-ranged communications?>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.
>Consider asking Nitori about that as well... It's better to keep in touch with everynya!
>Rumia nods cheerfully. "I got nothing going on, so I can tag along!" Well, that's one traveling partner!> Find out on the next exciting episode of YOUKAI QUEST Z.
> "I was thinking of heading over to Nitori's. Anyone wanna come with, nya?"
>Hibachi will not stay tuned! We must continue on! We must find out way Chen was summoned!>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!
>Wait, what was that about staying tuned?
>...Let's head over to Nitori anyhow, maybe we can ask her about staying tuned in.
>Check self for usual> Or flying. Flying's good too.growthexperience gain.
>Party status (items, health, etc.)
>Onward to Youkai Mountain! Let us hike like no cat has hiked ever before!
>Check self for usualgrowthexperience gain.
>Party status (items, health, etc.)
>Onward to Youkai Mountain! Let us hike like no cat has hiked ever before!
> Or flying. Flying's good too.>You decide to make for the mountain after taking off....
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!
>Points into Catlike Trend and Agility. I believe that's 80 points used up?Agreed.
>Voting for Agility, catlike trend, and Unarmedkind
>Voting for Agility, catlike trend, and Unarmedkind
>Did we ever figure out what was up with our mean twin anyway? Or ask Ran and Yukari about it?
>When we meet our twin again, let's pounce and nibble on her ear! That'll teach her a listen... probably.>You haven't gotten a chance to ask either of them yet! But all the same, you decide to nibble her a bit the next time you see her.
> Have we heard of her?>You've heard Nitori and Momiji talk about her when you visited them on occasion while you were learning how to fly.
>"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."
>When was the last time we talked to Momiji and Nitori anyway?>For Momiji, it was the last time you were up here, which was about two weeks back. Same deal for Nitori.
>Especially Momiji, who knows what state her house is in now?
> Is it for us? It's for us right? Presents are awesome after all~
> Open 'er up!
>If the contents are shockingly surprising, then hurry onto Momiji's house and demand explaination!>Well, another look-over does indeed confirm that it's for you! What a thrill! So naturally, since it's for you, you decide to open it!
>...after we finish business with Nitori.
>"Thanks Tengu gi- wait where did you go-nya?"
>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.
>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?!"
>We're gonna beat them up so hard they'll have a TWITCH.
>Let them cower before the sight of the cute and kitty youkai!
> Put on our game face. Bonus points if we can terrify them with it.>Those fairies really picked the wrong cat to mug, huh? Then again, you can't expect too much from most fairies that aren't Dai.
> If we still have 'em, apply bandages to arms.
> Use Fairy Kunai and Shade Burst to distract the enemy and then have Hibachi move in on one of the lieutenants for some melee action.
>And by melee action, we mean kitty paw in face followed by close range lazer>With a tap, the Wrappings snake off your legs, and back onto your arms! It kinda tickles, but it works!
>If we can't get close safely, add to the danmaku spam with a few orbs and arrows and lazers>We might figure out how to do the curvy lazers
>Do we currently have the giant throwing ring?
>If so, and things get really messy, use it to multitask by using it on the weaker fairies and focus on the Lt. fairies.
>Make sure that the other Lieutenant is one of the targets of Rumia's shots.
>Punch and claw away! The lazer may have missed but clawing the fairy is fine too.
>Stick to bubbles for close range danmaku shenanigans. Much harder to miss with those.
> Try and get some more melee damage in on one of the lieutenants.
> Have Rumia and Dai conitnue usuing Shade Burst and Fairy Kunai.
> Have Dai use Fairy Trick. If possible, have her use it on the lieutenants if it's something bad, or on us if it's something good.
> Friendly fire ain't good. Have Rumia Shade Shot whichever lieutenant looks more battered instead.
> Continue clawing away at a lieutenant. If it happens to be the same one Rumia's targetting, try to push it towards her shots as well. Our personal meat shield!
>Make sure that the lieutenant Rumia's shooting isn't the one we're clawing. If anything's going to cause friendly fire, it's that.>You do still have the ring, but it's inactive right now. Things don't look too bad enough to merit using it though.
Parser's Note: Seriously, that one fairy was really unlucky. She got targeted TWICE.Excellent.
>Hibachi: Use a Spellcard.>Which one? :V
> Act as if we're going to punch one of the lieutenants, but then let loose some point-blank kunai.
> Turn around right after the above and try to melee some of the grunts from behind.
> Dai: Fairy Trick. If possible, use it on us if it's something good, or on one of the fairy lieutenants if it's something bad. If it isn't, then just use it on one of the non-lieutenant bandit fairies.
> Rumia: Shade Burst again! Focus on the one that is most hurt (unless Hibachi is trying to melee it)!
>Daiyousei: FAIRY TRICK.
>Rumia: Be adorable while using Shade Burst
>Stare at Rumia's ribbon. It seems it's bothering her somehow... We should ask after this battle!>During a lull in the fighting, Dai takes the opportunity to try something weird again!
>Are we capable enough to judge the enemy's condition? If so, do a check.
>If not, paw the hell out of the nearest unlucky grunt!
>ANGRY NEKO BLITZ ATTACK ON THE NEAREST FAIRY.Seconded.
> Have Daiyousei patch herself up as we hang back a bit so as to dodge more easily.>How do you wish to do this? First-Aid? Or Fairy Healing?
>Rumia: Use darkness to conceal everyone for better protection.
>Don't do that. If it gets dark, then no one can see and w lose our main advantage here; far better aim and control.>You contemplate, and consider having Rumia darken the area some. You decide against it though, even though as a Nekomata, you have excellent nightvision.
>Try racking up some graze while letting loose with some danmaku hell of our own.>What kind of Danmaku do you wish to use? Please specify.
>ANGRY NEKO BLITZ ATTACK ON THE NEAREST FAIRY.
Seconded.
> Get Rumia to continue using her Shade Burst, bonus points if she can get at the most badly damaged fairy.>[COMMANDS ON HOLD. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INPUT.]
>Fairy Healing.> Seconding.
>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.
>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!
> Get Dai to heal us. Rumia should be fine for a little longer, but we need the health badly.
>Request for a healin'.>How do you wish her to heal? First-Aid, or Fairy Healing?Resist the urge to shout out medic/doctor repeatedly while running around.
> As for Rumia, keep up the shotgunnin'.
>"Ah! It's the Kamen Rider!" Why does he sound like Wriggle?[Commands Pending]
>If we hit one directly, several rage-charge us... Do we know any shotgun-form of danmaku?
>After we've finished healing, get Rumia to get darkness around us, and use a spellcard! Make sure it's not in the direction of any of our allies.
>First-Aid.
> Get some First-Aid goin' for Hibachi.>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.
> As for Rumia, keep up the shotgunnin'.
>"Ah! It's the Kamen Rider!" Why does he sound like Wriggle?>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.
>If we hit one directly, several rage-charge us... Do we know any shotgun-form of danmaku?
>After we've finished healing, get Rumia to get darkness around us, and use a spellcard! Make sure it's not in the direction of any of our allies.
> Yell at Rumia and the Masked Youkai to get out of the way and then declare Galvein Buster -Focus-.
>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.>Scold the parser for being very late. It's possible we could have died!
>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.
'Mobile Fighter FS'If this has anything to do with Gundam I'm instantly sold.
> Dive in and deliver some scratchings to the nearest fairy.
> Get Rumia's shotgun going at any weakened fairies and keep Dai on standby.
>Rumia: Attack the fairies.>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?
>Hibachi: Meditate if we can recover from it!
