>Tell the statue how ugly it's mama was.

>commence to yo mama fight.

>"yo mommas so fat, yoshika couldn't eat her even if she tried"

[Kasu]

> Look around.  Anything else of note?
> Attach those bandages to our legs and knock the statue off balance with a flying kick when it stops spinning.

[Hanzo K.]

>Ugly? How so?

>Let's just say it ain't easy on the eyes.
>It looks like an monstrous composite of the three armors, this time with something decidedly stomach-turning inside....Are those tentacles?!
>You don't think you can bear to look at it much longer.

> Look around.  Anything else of note?
> Attach those bandages to our legs and knock the statue off balance with a flying kick when it stops spinning.

>Anything to take your eyes away from the statue, you decide to look around for anything important, or interesting.
>But the only thing of note is the fact that the door's open again!
>You decide to put the bandages on your legs again, but the statue's not spinning. It was almost like it generated the wind that dispersed the cloud surrounding it.

>Tell the statue how ugly it's mama was.
>commence to yo mama fight.

>"yo mommas so fat, yoshika couldn't eat her even if she tried"

>You decide to ignore the fact that the door's been open, in favor of trying to start a 'Yo Momma' fight with the Hideous Statue.
>...But it doesn't respond, Just what else did you expect from a statue? However unsettling it may be.
>...Or so you thought, as it suddenly glows a vivid red, and then flies out of the Fortress through the now-heavily damaged walls!
>Just what is going on here?!


~Subquest Added!~
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?

[Kips McKipzerson]

>Search the room one last time and leave the room.

[Kyo Tanaka]

<"Nya... perhaps I was too harsh of it's mom..."

[Kasu]

> Stupid thing had better not go wrecking stuff while we're here.
> Head back into the main hallway and prepare for the inevitable verbal beatdown.

[Hanzo K.]

>Search the room one last time and leave the room.

>"Nya... perhaps I was too harsh of it's mom..."

> Stupid thing had better not go wrecking stuff while we're here.
> Head back into the main hallway and prepare for the inevitable verbal beatdown.

>You search the room for any other interesting items or sights, but the only things that are of note are the three small pedestals the Armors were on.
>The pedestals are now heavily damaged, likely due to the thick barrage you let off earlier.
>YOu mutter to yourself in a puzzled way about how you might've been too hard on it's mom....Does it even have one?
>Come to think about it...What happened to your mom? If you became a Nekomata, then maybe she did somewhere along the line too?
>You decide to leave the Ruined Hall to head back to the Crossroads, and brace for the inevitable. They can't have liked you going off like that without any warning.
>And true to Gensokyo form, you're not greeted with stern words, but a veritable hailstorm of danmaku!
>Of course, all this was to be expected in a way, you guess.

Your Status: 60%
Mana Points: 2

>"What the hell was that for?! You about had us all back there!" "Two words. Friendly. Fire. Sheesh." "Uh, that was three words, not two." "You think I don't know that?! Kid damn near had our heads back there." "I thought it was kinda fun~!" "Rumia, sometimes i wonder about you." "Waha~♪" "Sometimes I wonder why I even get out of bed in the morning..."
>Meanwhile, Chen's merrily batting around an ice chunk, likely liberated from the walls during your earlier attack. "Nyahaha~♬"

[Kasu]

> Flatten the ears and hang our head a bit.
> "S-sorry..."

[Kips McKipzerson]

>Come to think about it...What happened to your mom? If you became a Nekomata, then maybe she did somewhere along the line too?

If this means what I think it is, I am going to love you forever.
>Smack the ice ball out of Chen's hand.
>"Chen! You're an adult! Adults dont... play with.... ice...balls...
>thou are thee art play with the ball doitdoitdoit

[Berzul]

Play Doctor House..

>"I am sorry, but there can be nothing done to  improve Chen's current status.. we must wait until it ends on it's Nya."

>"On the other hand, that is why you talk before the fight and during them, Nya"

[Hanzo K.]

> Flatten the ears and hang our head a bit.
> "S-sorry..."

Play Doctor House..
>"I am sorry, but there can be nothing done to  improve Chen's current status.. we must wait until it ends on it's Nya."
>"On the other hand, that is why you talk before the fight and during them, Nya"

If this means what I think it is, I am going to love you forever.
>Smack the ice ball out of Chen's hand.
>"Chen! You're an adult! Adults dont... play with.... ice...balls...
>thou are thee art play with the ball doitdoitdoit

>You let your ears droop and apologize, but then you catch sight of the ice chunk Chen's batting around again.
>Man, it's taking so much to resist......oh what the hell.
>SO FUN.
>"Nyahahaha~"

[Kips McKipzerson]

>"Weeee~!"

[Kasu]

> "A-anyway, what're we doing next nya?"

[Hanzo K.]

>"Weeee~!"

>You're having just too much fun with this, aren't you?
>Of course, you get a little too into it, and you end up batting it right into Chen's head, who reflexively bats it right back into yours. OW.
>Wriggle chuckles a little at seeing this happen. "How many points do you think that was, 30?" "Nope, gotta be 50."
>"Don't you two know anything? It's 100...At least, that's what you score if something like that happens, according to that one show from the outside I watched over at Kaguya's. It was pretty weird."

> "A-anyway, what're we doing next nya?"

>It takes you a little while to shake the the daze off, but you manage it, and ask what the next thing to do is.
>Mokou shrugs. "Well, we checked out the busted lab, and those armors. So I guess the next place to go would be the last path huh? You sure you're ready? Even I don't know what'll be down there."

[Kips McKipzerson]

>"only if you hold my hand chen <33333"
>Are we ready? Are we still cute?

[Berzul]

Play Doctor House..
>"I am sorry, but there can be nothing done to  improve Chen's current status.. we must wait until it ends on it's Nya."
>"On the other hand, that is why you talk before the fight and during them, Nya"

[Hanzo K.]

>"only if you hold my hand chen <33333"
>Are we ready? Are we still cute?

>You're about as ready as you'll ever be, and you've always been cute.

Play Doctor House..
>"I am sorry, but there can be nothing done to  improve Chen's current status.. we must wait until it ends on it's Nya."
>"On the other hand, that is why you talk before the fight and during them, Nya"

>You remark that that's why you talk before the fight, and during them, but you just get stared at. "So, we going in then?"



Parser's Corner: *facepalm* I warned the guy that something like this would happen, but did he ever listen? Apparently not.

[Kasu]

> "Yep nya!"
> Head onto the last path with everyone.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Check room for any damage.

[Hanzo K.]

>Check room for any damage.

>You survey the room for any damage, but it looks like the ice chunk that you and Chen were playing with was a holdover from the room where the Armors were.

> "Yep nya!"
> Head onto the last path with everyone.

>You voice that you're ready, and head down the path with everyone.
>As you walk, the path slowly becomes more ornately designed, with well-carved pillars, and the occasional ice statue. "Nyaa...Did Cirno really make all this by herself...?"
>It's starting to be pretty suspicious about how ornate this hall is becoming, you've learned that Fairies don't generally have the skill needed to make fine details, like the ones on the statues and pillars.
>Most fairies do craft their homes out of whatever they have access to, but they're never this detailed.
>At the end of the hall, there is a large double door. That presence you felt earlier on when you first got here feels like it's right behind these doors....

[Berzul]

>"Sho what do you think guys is behind this door?"

>Time to use the keys

[Hanzo K.]

>"Sho what do you think guys is behind this door?"
>Time to use the keys

>You ask everyone what they think is behind the door, and you get a mixed bag of responses.
>Mokou just shrugs. "Something powerful I'd wager."
>Rumia however, just beams brightly. "Maybe it's a bunch of ice cream!"
>Wriggle just stares at the door silently, as does Chen.
>You check the door to a place to use the keys, but there's no keyholes. Looks like you're supposed to either pull the door, or push it.

[Kasu]

> Try pushing the door.
> If that fails, try pulling the door.

[Hanzo K.]

> Try pushing the door.
> If that fails, try pulling the door.

>You try to push the door open, but that doesn't work.
>So you try pulling it open, which also does nothing.
>But if there's anything you've learned from the TV, it's that if there's a door, there's a way through it.



Added
Parser's Corner: Yes, that means try anything.

[Berzul]

>"Why not try things then?"

[Kasu]

> Punch the door.
> Meow at the door.
> Stare cutely at the door.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Seduce the door if possible.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Why not try things then?"

>You remark that maybe someone should try anything they can think of, and Mokou just opens up with a massive blast of fire aimed at the door.
>...But that doesn't even scratch it! Is this door really made out of ice...?

> Punch the door.
> Meow at the door.
> Stare cutely at the door.

>Seduce the door if possible.

>You decide to try turning up the charm on the door, but it remains impassive. Apparently you'll have to try harder to win it's heart.
>So you decide to stare at it in a cute way....which also does absolutely nothing.
>You try winding up a punch and letting it off at the door, but all that gets you is a sore hand.
>On a whim, you decide to shift to Cat Form and Meow at it....
>....The door opens! "...What." "...Y'mean I could've gotten it open?" "..Check one skeleton key, eh Rumia?" "Skeletons don't taste good, too bony."

>On the other side of the doorway is a large chamber, dwarfing even the room you fought the armors in!
>There also appears to be some kind of huge and ornately designed chair at the far end of the chamber...But there's nothing there.
>The Presence however, is much stronger now that there's no doorway stifling it...you feel weighed down...and sluggish...like heavy shackles have been placed upon you.
>There's also a penetrating chill that bites through even your Cloak.

[Kyo Tanaka]

>"No Chen, it thought that I was cuter than you."

[Kasu]

> "That had better not be coming from the chair, nya."
> Head inside cautiously.
