> Flandre: Kyuu~ anything with relevance to plot except ourselves.Fix'd
Utsuho: Be impressed with ourselves.>How can you be impressed with yourself if you haven't even gone out to get the whatever-a-thing from the place-with-the-name-you-forgot?
> Flandre: Kyuu~ anything with relevance to plot.
> Flandre: Kyuu~ anything with relevance to plot except ourselves.>Unfortunately, there wasn't much plot to begin with.
> Everyone: Run errand.Sakuya:
quantum geographylolwat
lolwatIt makes as much sense as the rest of this adventure.
> Flandre - Quantum geography is in your way. Break it.>Another rock wall is in the way-wait, no there isn't. Like you said before, you hate quantum geography.
> Or at least the rock wall.
> Sakuya - Find Nitori.>"I'm already here!" says a floating piece of computer.
> Utsuho - Evaporate ocean.>You turn the ocean surrounding the landmarks of Gensokyo into water vapor and a giant pit that goes lower than the Underground. Apparently Gensokyo doesn't want to stay within the confines of 3-dimensional space, as the Underground is still under the ground.
> Then, prove your compitence to Satori by getting a thing from a shop.
>Flandre - Why kyuu the crystal ball? If we find another, we can make our wings even cooler!
> Utsuho: Would Satori be mad if we brought the little girl home?
> Sakuya - Recall preference of beer while following Nitori.>You, personally, aren't a beer person, preferring sophisticated wines instead.
> Flandre - Proceed to gaze longingly at the crystal ball.>Crystals shatter quite beautifully, but...
> Flandre - Kyuu~ it.
>Flandre - Why kyuu the crystal ball? If we find another, we can make our wings even cooler!>Cooler wings are good.
> Flandre - Wear crystal ball like a hat.>You place it on top of your usual hat. It stays on there. Gensokyo's quantum geography must be messing with physics, too.
> Utsuho - Take the cube and fiddle with it vigorously.>You do so, and manage to match up 5 sides, somehow.
> Utsuho: Would Satori be mad if we brought the little girl home?
> Of course not, it would be like bringing Koishi home!>With this decision in mind, you pocket the cube. Picking up the girl before she has a chance to react, you fly off back to the Underground to display your competence.
Flandre: Decide to go with it, because ADVENTURE!!!>Adventure is fun. You will ignore this injustice.
Flandre - Kyuu~ Kourindou.
> Flandre - Refrain from Kyuu~ing everything. Flan is A-Good-Girl after all <3. That fact doesn't stop us from whipping out Laevateinn and poking Utsuho's eyes out, though.
>Flandre - But if we poke her eyes out, we'll crash! And crashing hurts. :( So why not just tickle her?
> But but we have wings! We can still take flight to avoid crashing!
> And besides, if we tickle her, she might crash us into things in mid air
>Flandre: No, no poking out eyes. Don't want to break her when we're on an adventure with her. Do ask her what her name is, though.
>If we tickle her, she'll let go, then we can fly!
> What if she squeezes us tighter? 3:
>Just let her carry us undisturbed. Why fly ourselves when she's doing it for us?
> Utsuho - Realize a rubik's cube can't be solved on only 5 sides.
Utsuho - In light of this, realize how awesome we are that we did the impossible like that.>On closer inspection, you confirm that you are indeed that awesome.
...Or maybe it's broken. But it's more likely that we're just that awesome!
> Utsuho - Conveniently get distracted by something when that happens.>Ooh, shiny!
> Utsuho: Have an ominous premonition that we most likely won't understand.>You have said ominous feeling. Must be another missed nonexistent event.
> Sakuya - Timeskip to arrival at Nitori's house.
Utsuho - Introduce crystal-winged girl to Satori. ...Maybe get her name first.>You are Utsuho Reiuji, and you're currently getting yelled at by your master.
>Flandre - Stare at the eye-thingy in mild interest. "Hi there little eye~!"
> Flandre - Move the eye of the eye into our palm and start tossing it and catching it like a ball.
>It looks important though, and Big Sis always says we need to work on our Self-Control. So we should just chill out, maybe try to strike up a conversation with the eye, and just generally enjoy ourselves.>Before you voice your thoughts, the girl turns to you. "I know what you're thinking, that eye is part of me, don't grab it. You can't, anyway, it's attached to me, and my name is Satori Komeji."
>Okuu - Marvel at how she solved it so quickly. "Ooooh...You're really good at that!">After talking to Flandre, Satori turns to you again. "My Rubik's Cube solving skills don't land us into trouble like you do."
>Utsuho: "You wanted a something, and she wanted an adventure! Everyone's happy!">"I didn't want a 'something'! I wanted an electric shikigami! If you really want to go run an errand, go get me an electric shikigami, and take that vampire back to her home while you're at it!"
> Sakuya: Return to the SDM momentarily to notify the Mistress that we have to look for Yukari and therefore it'll take quite a while.>You have already done so, and as such, you know that Flandre has gone missing. Either way, you should go visit Yukari, as she's the one who's most likely able to find Flandre, wherever she is.
>Utsuho: "...I don't think she likes you.">Well, if worst comes to worst, you can always ask for directions again.
>We'll just have to go find the gap youkai to get Satori what she wants.
>Wait.
>We don't know where the gap youkai is.
>"Hey, new adventure: finding the gap youkai!"
>Flandre: "Okay!"
>Flan-Flan - "Whee~! Adventure yes!">"By the way," Utsuho asks, "Do you know where the gap youkai is?"
Sakuya: Wonder why you seem to be becoming less and less of a playable character as this goes on, and get a feeling of Deja Vu.
>Utsuho: No, we're not concerned. Standing in the middle of a lava lake is cool.>You decide to set physics aside in favor of AWESOME. Just like your cube-solving ability.
>Flan-Flan - "Woooooow...hey, hey, are you hot here? I kinda am. Bein' sweaty ain't fun, you get all smelly and blech."
>Utsuho: "Of course I'm not hot. I'm a hell raven.">"Cool," Flandre replies, "I'm a vampire, by the way."
>Pick a direction. Any direction. Then go. We'll hit the border eventually, right? Then we just follow along it and see what we run into.
Utsuho: Like the sun, we must journey to the West!>Your enthusiasm causes you to blurt this out loud. However, since Gensokyo's isolated from the outside world, the only reference for being west is the sun setting.
>Flan-Flan - Wasn't Journey to The West one of those books Patch-Patch had in her library? The one with the funny monkey? We should remember to read that one more!>It had too many words. You did like it when Patchy read it to you, though. That monkey went on such cool adventures!
Sakuya: Politely knock on the door. Be politeness.>You attempt to be an abstract concept and fail. You do, however, succeed at knocking on the door.
>Sakuya: "Regardless, Remilia has tasked me with obtaining an outside-world electrical device in some ways similar to a shikigami. I believe she called it a 'computer'. All the ones Rinnosuke had spontainiously exploded, so I cannot obtain one from him. It was recommended that I come to you instead.">"But getting stuff from the outside world takes work!" Yukari whines. "Can't you check Kourindou again or something?"
>Utsuho/Flandre: Westward, ho!
> Utsuho and Flandre - To the western edge of the world!>You and Flandre make bets about whether the boundary will come before or after the western edge of the world as you walk through a patch of tall grass.
> Or the boundary. Whichever comes first.
>Sakuya: "Every single one of them was destroyed. Nitori was going to find me one, but it turns out that hers was in Kourindou and exploded with the rest of them. So now I'm here.">"Ah, yes," Yukari nods. "That would seem like a problem."
Utsuho: Utilize the quantum geography to summon a Lunatic Orb to throw at the thing.>You don't control the quantum geography! Nobody controls it
>Flan-Flan - A Mini-Sakuya?! This is amazing! If we had that, Sakuya wouldn't have to worry about us anymore, 'cuz a little her would be with us!
>Flandre: Grab it!>With good intentions in mind, you dive to grab it, but end up faceplanting as Utsuho captures it in - hey, that was your crystal ball!
>Sakuya - Sigh. "Well, hopefully she isn't causing trouble for anyone..">"You know," Yukari says, "I could check up on her for you."
>Okuu - "Unyu? It..worked?" Headtilt confusedly.
> Utsuho - Continue westward.>That was definitely something you didn't expect to happen. Flandre seems happy enough about it, though.
>Flan-Flan - "Well, I was gonna use that crystal ball to make my wings awesomer, but this works too..?" Poke at the ball. "Uh...come on out?">The crystal ball glows, and the Chibi Sakuya appears next to the ball. It doesn't say a word, but it's so cute.
> Flandre - desire to catch the whole Scarlet Devil Mansion in chibi form.
>Flan-Flan - A mini-us too?! That would be awesome!>You must have a chibi everyone. You gotta catch 'em all! The cuteness demands it!
>Flandre: If we caught the first one with Utsuho, then we may run into the others if we stay with her. Follow her!>You're not going to go anywhere without her!
>Flan-Flan - "Hey! Lemmego!" Kick at it! Let's get the mini-sakuya back in the ball too, and stick the ball in a pocket, just in case whatever's pulling our leg won't let go.>Your kicking is counterproductive. Now both of your legs are being pulled and nobody's pulling you back.
> Flandre - Break whatever is pulling your leg.
>Flan-Flane - Wait, what if it's Sakuya pulling us?! Big sis wouldn't be too happy about that..>You are about to break it, but then you hesitate. Really, you should do something before you get pulled in, shouldn't you?
> Sakuya - Mentally sneezes.>As you're watching Yukari struggle with the lower half of Flandre's body, you feel a sneeze coming.
> Utsuho - Panics and shoots a heat beam at the gap-thing.You run towards the gap while charging up a humongous laser.
> Sakuya: The truth is hard.>Let's just pretend we never saw anything, shall we?
> You should run away. Ruuuun awaaaay.
>Flandre: "Why are people on me?">Correction: Person. Only Utsuho's on you. You, however are currently on top of a Chibi Sakuya, Yukari, and Ran.
> Utsuho: "Hey, you're the gap lady!">Yukari gaps herself and Ran out of the bottom of the pile. You're still on Flandre and her Chibi Sakuya, though.
> "Satori wanted a thing from you!" She wanted an epileptic shinigami, right?
> Sakuya - Fight - Private Square!>Everything around you starts moving in slow motion as you take your spell card out of your Time-Shenanigan Maid Storage and activate it.
> Utsuho - Get off Flan.>You do so.Any regular dish of flan would surely have been crushed to the point of splattering if we had fallen onto it like this
> "I want to be useful to Satori-sama too!"
> Flandre - Get off Chibi Sakuya and check to see if it's okay.It's a little shaken up, but otherwise it's fine. Yay!
> Wonder aloud about those things you broke earlier in some random shop somewhere in the Forest of Magic.
> Sakuya: No, no, you're doing it wrong, Private Square the Touhoumon move. D:>You feel like you did something wrong. You don't know what though. Does Flandre's Chibi Sakuya know a different Private Square?
> Sakuya - "Why is there a mini-Tenshi in your house? Why is there a Mini-Me for that matter?">Yukari sighs. "I don't know. They just started showing up everywhere all of a sudden. Apparently they're able to be caught in crystal balls."
> Flandre: Bap Rinnosuke on the head with Laevateinn.You swing Laevateinn at him through the gap. He dodges, and you slice his shop in half.
> ...While forgeting that you're a vampire and therefore much stronger and more resilient than he is.
> Flandre - Apologize to the whimpy looking man.>"Sorry!" you yell through the gap as Yukari starts closing it.
> Utsuho - Ask about this computer thing.>"Hey gap lady! What's a com-pyuu-ter?"
> Utsuho - Recollect things we created/engineered using knowledge of nuclear fusion.>You know a lot about nuclear fusion, but you can't recall facts at will. Really, the only thing you help with nuclear fusion was that giant fusion reactor for a mecha a while back, but that ended up being shut down because of meddling ice fairies.
> Everyone - watch plot proceed.
>Okuu - "Unyu?">You are certain that she will want one of those. If she doesn't, the cuteness is going to make her change her mind anyway.
>Fistrod. "I got it! Maybe if I get a mini-Satori, she'll be happy again! Ooh, I should get a Mini-Koishi too, they should be together after all."
>Nod sagely. "Yeah! That's it! I'm sure that was it!"
>Flandre: "No, you have to remember better, or else you'll fail the adventure! She said she wanted an electric shikigami!">Oh yeah, the shaky gummy thingy.
>Beat.
>"Whatever that is."
>"She might like a mini-her, too. Oh! Big sis may want one of her! I'll have to find an extra!."
>Sakuya - Poker Face. "...Well. This is new.">It is indeed. You had not expected the
> Sakuya - Ponder why Reimu considers the chibi-army to be a bigger incident than quantum geography.>"Reimu," you ask, "shouldn't you be more concerned about how the geography of Gensokyo keeps changing?"
>Flan-Flan - Headtilt. "....Was that hole in the ceiling here before?">Sakuya turns to you. "Yes, that kappa-shaped hole is your fault. I can't blame you that much, though. Everything sort of went wild there."
>Then tacklehug Sakuya! "You won't believe what I found Sakuya! I found this mini-you! I'm gonna find the mini-versions of everyone from home! Even me and Big Sis~!"
>Utsuho: Bonk it with the control rod!
>Okuu - ...We do have a spare control rod, right? This thing is kinda important to keep the Reactor working right after all.>Well, it didn't catch it, but the Chibi Satori seems dazed by the hit. Your control rod's still intact, too. Yay!
>Flan-Flan - "So, don't you think the Mini-you is cute~? I wonder how cute the mini-me will be?!">You had to stop time for a while as your nosebleed subsided. Flandre can be so cute when she's not destroying everything around her.
>Sakuya - "Hard to tell really, I'm certain it won't be able to match up the the original though."
>Head to Reimu. "You said that the yin-yang orbs that the smaller versions of you can produce will work for containing them? Perhaps you should distribute those orbs to everyone then, and in great supply as well."
>Gesture towards Utsuho. "It seems she could use one right now in fact."
>Flandre: "Crap, we have to go back! We didn't get an electric shikigami! Come on, Ustuho! We can't fail the adventure!">You all attempt to head towards where Yukari's house is.
>Utsuho: "Um..."
>Flandre: "And we can look for more mini-people on the way!"
>Utsuho: "Okay!"
>Sakuya: "Wait, you're looking for an electric shikigami, too?"
>Flandre: "Yeah! This lady with a funny eye wants one! She said we'd have to get it from Yukari! Come on!"
>Fly off towards... wait, we never actually learned where Yukari's house is.
>Let's fly west again! That worked last time!
>Utsuho: Right, we have to get the elec-o-thingy, too. Follow Flandre!
>Sakuya: "Yukari, your interference indicates that you are still observing us. Could you perhaps gap a couple of these devices to us? It would eliminate any need for us to return.">She happens to gap them right over your heads, in an obviously childish attempt to give you a concussion.
>Sakuya - "How did this end up in there? Then again, it seems to be something Flan is after." Use an Easy Orb on the C. Meiling.>Your Easy Orb catches the Chibi Meiling without resistance. Chibi Meiling Get!
>Okuu - Maybe we should follow suit and find some for the others back home too! We've already got the little Satori, so maybe we should find a little Koishi and a little Orin too!>This shall be your new goal, since the time-stoppy maid has already covered the "shaky-gummy" situation.
>Flan-Flan - "Ooh! It's a teeny China! I bet she'll love to have that!">If nothing else, it would be an extra guard for the mansion.
> Flandre - Begin hunt for chibi Jason Voorhees.>This is the best idea ever and nobody will tell you otherwise.
>Okuu - "The..The flying pancakes! They want me to tap dance! I dun wanna! Fly! Moriya Robo!">You do the most logical thing to do when you feel like everyone around you has gone crazy: Voice all your thoughts out loud.
> Utsuho - OH GOD RAPTORS ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK. Sure, it COULD be the mushroom, but what if it isn't?! You could be in danger!>Ah yes. The raptors.
>Flan-Flan - "...And people call me crazy.">Yes, but you're at least not as crazy as Utsuho is right now.
> Flandre - Discover if chibi Reimu blood tastes like human blood. It IS snack time. Probably.>No harm in trying, right?
>Sakuya - "What.">Great, now Flandre's gone loopy, too.
> Sakuya - Realize you're letting kogasa win if you get surprised. Don't be surprised by anything.>You feel like she deserves the victory. Utsuho's giant laser looks like it hurts.
>Flan-Flan - "..Sakuya, why are you a donut..? Wait, has anyone seen my hands? And why is that blobby-thingy carrying a housecat? I don't think I should do that again.">Just to be safe, you confiscate their chibis. Can't have them wielding miniature versions of other people with destructive power.
>Okuu - "Bacon for everyone! Y'know, Satori says people are the backbone of any good land. Er...Except when the backbone's an actual backbone."
>Flan-Flan - "Bacon? Why not cheese?! Backbones are hard."
>Sakuya - Facepalm. This is an insane day. "Ugh...And here I am, the only sane one here."
>Let's head over to Mokou, and keep an eye on the two goofballs. "I don't suppose you know a way to bring those two back to normal, do you?"
>Sakuya: "Hey, Mokou. Utsuho and Flandre've gone nuts-well, more nuts-and Reimu and Kogasa are having a crazy mini-army fight. How's your day been?">Mokou looks over at Utuho, who's singing a rendition of "I'm a little teapot" with lyrics about radioactive puppies.
> Sakuya - contemplate if there is a situation to deal with.>You have a feeling that Utsuho is going to blow everyone up.
> At least, a situation more pressing than the halucinating nuclear bomb standing next to you.
> Flandre - plot to sneak chibi-blood into Remi's next meal.>Your plans to sneak a shipment of fairy wings past the western wing of the Neon Green Robot Factory are interrupted by Utsuho, who's yelling something about baconed eggs.> CHIBI BLOOD FOR THE CHIBI BLOOD GOD
>Sakuya - Timefreeze those two loons for the time being.>Utsuho is now frozen in a battle stance, winding back a control rod punch at an unseen opponent.
>"Reimu, I don't suppose you have any charms to put those two to sleep while we wait for them to recover? Alternately, until we can get them to Eirin to get something to fix them.">"Sure, just a second..."
>Flan/Okuu - ZzzZzZZzZZzzzz...
>Sakuya - "Indeed. Since Eirin is a master of medicine, I'm quite certain she knows how to create a cure for at least Flandre.">You enter Eientei.
>Let's head in with everyone, and keep careful.
>Facepalm. "Eirin, could you please stop spinning in the chair for a moment? There's a rather important matter that needs to be attended to. Now.">"Yes, master," Reisen agrees with you. "You're making us look unprofessional."
>Okuu - "Uhh...Maybe if we look around back in the underground!">Flandre starts whining. "But we can't take you home yet! We haven't finished catching everyone! Why would you want to look there anyway?"
>>You all head towards Misty Lake in an attempt to find chibis. According to Flandre, quantum geography stops happening at the edge of the lake, so you have a good chance of finding the chibis around there.Crew - Go to Mt. Moon for Chibi Remilia, and Yamame Tunnel near Route 11 for Chibi Orin and UtsuhoOh wait this is Gensokyo
> Crew - Maybe look around the Misty Lake?
>Flandre - Memo to self; Don't drink anymore Chibi Blood. And don't slip Big Sis any either, there's only room for one crazy-adorable vampire, and that's us.>Of course. Nobody deserves that sort of crazy.
> Flandre - Get distracted, come across and Leaf Stone, and use it on Chibi Flandre. NEKOFLANGET
>Flandre - Why think so small? Let's find two, and then use one on Remi and one on ourselves when we get back! I bet she'll be real happy!>You have no idea what a leaf stone is. Regardless, you find two shiny green stones and hold one in the hopes of it doing something.
>Sakuya - Well, at least they're back to normal.>Now that Flandre and Utsuho are rational again, you let out the chibis. It must be cramped, being inside that Easy Orb.
>Sakuya - Examine the 3 Shiny Stones>The three shiny stones you have in your bag are similar to the one that Flandre threw. However, they are different colors. One is red, one is yellow, and one is pure white.
(Uh, I don't think this fits the earlier mention of how the QG works. It mentions that it doesn't affect named places, yet that mountain is clearly a named place.)>You're pretty sure quantum geography is breaking its own rules.
>Sakuya - Facepalm. Okay Quantum Geography, enough with the high-grade screwiness.
> Also speculate about how to fix geography.>You have no idea. However, you could just beat up everything in sight until someone points you in the right direction, like what Reimu does.
> Wonder about the Clefairy population in Mt. Moon.
>Okuu - "Was this always here?">"No, Utsuho. This is not normally here. It's quantum geography's fault."
>Flandre - "Biiiiig.">Yes, the mountain is indeed very big.
>Let's try pressing the stone to our forehead then! Maybe that'll work!
>Sakuya - Well, we did it back during the Perfect Cherry Blossom Incident, and again during the Scarlet Weather Incident. So it should work this time as well.>Why try to change what works? You'll start your attack on everything in sight in this cave.
>Flandre - Hmm...maybe if we eat it...But rocks are hard to eat...>It is not good to eat rocks. You've tried.
> Flandre - Light cave with wings.>You use a little bright danmaku in the focal point of your wings. You knew those math lessons would come in handy!
>Flandre: If lighting up our wings doesn't work, just kyuu the darkness. Somehow.>it works, but since the Chibi Rumias probably are going to re-darken the place, you kyuu one, just as a warning.
>Okuu - We could light the place up, but our new friend isn't so good with sunlight...Oh, she's got it all figured out.>Flandre certainly does. The rainbow of colors lighting up the cave makes you feel a bit disoriented, but it's better than when you you ate the mushroom.
Sakuya - Let's see what size that Maid Uniform is.>Examining the maid uniform that appeared, you realize it seems like it would fit one of the chibis.
>Flandre - Whoa, too many colors. Let's just use the red crystals.>That is too many colors in this cave.
>Hmm..Maybe if we crush the rock up into powder, mix it with sugar, and put it in tea or something..?
>Oh, we should probably get one of those little guys from before too, they're kinda cute after all, and we wouldn't need a parasol!
>Okuu - Wow....So many colors!>That is a lot of colors. They're starting to hurt your eyes, especially when Flandre starts shifting the light source around.
>But ow. Let's rub our face a bit with the hand that isn't in the control rod.
>Utsuho: "Ow.">The Chibi Rumia that hit you in the face has ran off already. Also, you have no Easy Orbs. Sakuya is holding all of them.
>Smack it, then catch it!
>Sakuya - Let's see, Utsuho is battling one of those things from before. Since it's a Chibi, we'll just sling an Easy Orb at it.>You catch the Chibi Rumia, and hand Utsuho back her Chibi Koishi and Satori.
>And return everyone's Chibis to their proper owners in the process.
>Flandre - Thinking's fun though! Besides, if this works, maybe we'll be the cutest thing in Gensokyo! 'course, we gotta have Big Sis along for it too, it's only fair after all. We've played so many pranks on her and been a pain, that she deserves something nice from us for a change~ Besides, it beats being normal! After all, normalcy is overrated, especially in Gensokyo~>Yes, thinking is fun. At least, it's fun when it doesn't make your brain hurt.
>Oh hey, one of those little guys! Looks like Sakuya's got things covered though, Good Ol' Sakuya~!>Sakuya is the best maid ever. She gives you the Chibi Rumia, and you immediately put her to use as your personal shade generator.
>Okuu - ..Eh? The maid took care of stuff?>Sakuya certainly did. She hands you you Chibi Satori and Koishi after catching the Chibi Rumia.
>....We should find some Boiled Eggs sometime, it's kinda tough adventuring on an empty stomach~!>Eating eggs isn't exactly cannibalism, is it? What are the tengu's policies on it?
>Utsuho: Wave to the kappa.>She waves back. "Do you need to buy supplies?"
>"Hi!"
> Ask the Chibi Rumia if it is so.>"Is that so?"
>Utsuho - Well, we can't wear it, but maybe the Chibi Okuu can!>When you get a Chibi Utsuho, you'll be sure to put the maid uniform on it.
>Flandre - "Wow...Guess I don't need to keep the place lit now, huh?">Good. Sustaining a single danmaku bullet gets tiring. It's harder to do than carpeting everything with danmaku, for some reason.
>Well, we are runnin' low on Easy Orbs, so this is a good thing~!
>"Hey, Sakuya. When we get home after all this, I wanna have tea with Big Sis!">Tea parties are better than pranks, you find. They're normally easier to clean up afterwards.
>Sakuya - Well, it's better than her pulling pranks at least..
>Flan: Make Chibi Rumia happy again by asking something it can respond with 'Is that so'. Give it back it's line. We can't have pouty Chibis.>Yes. We can't have any pouty chibis when we're here! This is supposed to be an adventure!
>Flandre - "Wow...look at all this stuff!">Nitori seems especially proud of that. "It's a pineapple cannon! It launches whatever you put in it. I called it a pineapple cannon because I used it to shoot pineapples at Aya, but it actually can shoot almost anything, including chibis!"
>Examine Pineapple Cannon. "Hey, what's this thing?"
>Okuu - "Silly little Mini-Koishi~">Oh, yes she is! Who's a silly little chibi? She is!
>Oh hey, eggs. Let's check the price tag!
>Sakuya. "I take it the 'Normal Orbs' are a refined version of the Easy Orbs?">Nitori nods. "Some chibis are too strong for the Easy Orbs to handle. This orb definitely catches them!"
>Okuu - Enjoy the egg posthaste!>The egg is very enjoyable. You enjoy it immensely.>"But she's a Mini-you! So we're indirectly showering you with attention~!"
>Flandre - Grin at the Chibi Rumia. "Now that's what I like to see!">Chibi Rumia is much happier now. You wonder is it can get any happier.
>Sakuya - How much funds do we have again?>You currently have 18,000 G on hand.
>Okuu - Eggy-Egg~ Eggs are tasty~! "~♪">You are so engrossed with eating the egg that you don't even notice anything else.
>Sakuya - Let's get 5 Normal Orbs. That other stuff could be useful, but who knows what the other two could get up to with it. We do have a job to uphold as the voice of reason here after all.>"2,500 G please!"
>Flandre - Let's go examine the hole in the wall! Maybe we'll end up with a new Chibi?>Looking through the hole, you see a couple of chibis flying around in the sky.
>Flandre: Flail around wildly.>Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff!
>Flandre - [Insert vocal impersonation of The Pyro here]>"Mmph mmph!"
> Clearly it's hugging your face.>This is much better than the alternative. You shall believe this now.
> Utsuho - "Aw, it likes you!">You're sure that if you were a chibi, your tacklehugs would end up as faceclings.
> Tacklehug, facecling, basically the same thing.
>Okuu - "Unyu?!" Let's try knocking it off with our control rod! ..Eh? Looks like the maid's got things under control. That just means we need someone like her back home too!>Helping seems to be a good idea.
>Sakuya - Let's use a Normal Orb on it then!> Now is a good time to try out these Normal Orbs.
>Okuu - "Wow...I wonder how I can find someone like her for back home..?">Sakuya turns to you. "You'll just have to get lucky. Or get a chibi me. Either one works, but I'm pretty sure a chibi me wouldn't be all that competent."
>Sakuya - Timestop the chibi, and suss out which of the orbs is a Normal. Then use it on the chibi.>The chibi is clinging onto your body. Timestopping it wouldn't do much. Regardless, you timestop it anyway, and take out all the orbs in an attempt to discern which ones are Normal Orbs.
>Flan - Slap self to pull back together! "C'mon Flan, get it together!">Ow. Slapping yourself hurts. You pull yourself together, though.
>Ponder if the Chibi NekoFlan can use Four of A Kind like we can.
>Utsuho - We'll just have to find a Chibi of the maid too then!>This shall go onto your list of priorities, right under finding a Chibi you and Orin.
> Utsuho: Conveniently walk up front and receive all danger to the face by sheer luck!>You have decided. You are going to lead the group and no second opinions about it!
> Sakuya: Is the real Rumia following us about or something?>That certainly would be a problem. People can't see in the dark.
> Sakuya: Do a barrelroll to one side and knife the first thing we see as we finish the barrelroll!>Any idea involving barrel rolls are at least worth a try. You execute your plan, hoping to catch a little darkness youkai unawares.
> Flandre: Danmaku light for everyone!>You create a bright flash of multicolored crystal lights, possibly blinding everyone around you...
>Flandre - Only red though, easier to work with.>And then tone it down, leaving everyone in a soft red glow.
>Sakuya - Timestop the Control Rod. Then, reverse time for it to before it got knifed!>You can't reverse time! That's practically cheating!
>Okuu - We gotta find the spare!>Keeping a radioactive-particle-emitting control rod attached to you isn't a good idea, so you take it off and throw it away as far as you can.
>Flandre - "Uh-oh.">Something glowing like that doesn't look good. At least Sakuya's got it under control.
>Flandre - Well, hopefully it'll turn into a maid outfit for Okuu~! Let's try it!>It actually turns into a nurse outfit, but still, that's good!
>Okuu - Whoa...It..actually turned into one! Maybe if we wear it, we'll be just as competent as Sakuya!>Is the now COMPETENT NURSE Utsuho become. Got level!
>UWOOOOH! COMPETENCE OVERFLOWING! ...Nope, we don't feel any different~ But at least we look the part!
> Well, we can just dig up the spare rod when we find it~
>Oh hey, a mini-us! Let's pick it up and use an easy orb on it when we get one from Sakuya!
>Sakuya - ...Well, at least they aren't on any substances like before.>You're not too sure about that. For all you know, the air in here could specifically cause vampire girls and animal youkai to act irrationally.
>....Be sure to timestop and confiscate anything that could put them back into that again whenever anything of that sort comes into proximity.>What, do you look like some sort of hypercompetent maid? Oh, wait...
>Oh, the crow wants an orb? Well, we can spare an easy orb at least, since that Chibi she's carrying is already KO'd.
>Flandre - Facepalm. Now we gotta be the serious one! "Okuu, let's get her outta here! She needs fresh air!">Sakuya isn't going to be happy if you slack off with nobody watching over you! You have to take command!>"Not very happy with weird voice y'know! Wanna get kyuu'd?"
>Okuu - "Right!">Following Flandre's orders, you carry Sakuya on your back.>"Even I think this is a bit much...."
> Swap Sakuya's Maid Outfit for Utusho's Nurse outfit.>In a moment of whimsy, you swap outfits with Sakuya as quickly as possible.
> That way Sakuya gets a holiday from being a maid and Utusho gets to be a hypercompentant maid like she wanted!
>Flandre - "Phew...Everyone's okay now...">You were worried for Sakuya back there. What was up with that cave?
>Okuu - "Yeah...But now I gotta get a new Control Rod.">You don't know where your spare is, but...
>Utsuho: "Maybe Satori knows where my spare is. Don't worry, though; I'm not ending the adventure. I just need my spare control rod.">Satori might! Let's visit her! Off to the underground!
>Sakuya - "I still don't know why I'm wearing a nurse uniform instead of my usual."Ah, yes. Your piles upon piles of spare maid uniforms. Those probably take up 90% of your possible TSMS space.
>A good maid always carries spares though. We should have an extra somewhere in the TSMS.
>Koi-koi - Stay awhile and listen. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMAbNFptzAA) Because there's not much else to do.
>Flandre - If we ever find that quantum thingy, we're punching it in the face! ...Even if it doesn't have a face! We'll make it have a face just so we can punch it!>Unfortunately, you can't make something have a face. You'll just have to wait until this quantum whatever makes its own face.
>Come to think of it, we were pretty responsible there for a change! Does that mean we're a grownup now?! Does this mean we look older too?!
>Sakuya - Let's stash away the nurse outfit, maybe it'll be useful later.>You're not sure if it will be useful at all, but just in case. Utsuho doesn't look like she's going to give back your maid uniform anytime soon.
>"Well, I suppose it's better than nothing."
>Okuu - "Well, let's get going everyone!">Thankfully, the entrance to the Underground is the same as before. The rest of it is going to be fine.
>Let's lead the way to the Underground, and hope it hasn't gone all weird too!
>Koi-koi - Oh, we should probably follow them, it'd kinda be a problem if they got away after all. Besides, it's been a while since we visited sis.
>Flandre - Rats. And here we were getting our hopes up in being awesome-looking and attractive. Big sis gets all the fun and charisma...Phooey.>You're starting to be jealous of Remilia. Why doesn't she teach you how to be charismatic? She just wants all the charisma for herself.
>Sakuya - Well, this just adds to the trouble, hm?>You're starting to envy those who don't have to run errands. You should try and persuade Remilia to get some time off.
>Okuu - "Oh, uh...Sorry about crashing into you like that earlier..?" Ooh...we're really not in a condition to fight...>She smiles
>Koi-koi - Well this is a mess, isn't it? Let's see if we can't influence her to not bother with picking a fight.
>Koi-koi - Let's fix the influence she has on Flan and Sakuya, then follow them.
>Sakuya - What were we thinking there? We do enjoy doing things after all, so who cares if they're errands? It's something to do at least. A maid of our caliber can't be seen as useless after all.>This is true. You are a maid, after all. When you do stuff for Remilia, you have to do it as best as you can.
>At any rate, somebody has to keep an eye on these two, so they don't do anything stupid. We just happen to be the most qualified right now.
>Flandre - Well, no use dwelling on it right now, we'll just find a spell or something to make us older and cooler-looking~! Maybe Patchy has a spell for that!>You're sure Patchy has a spell for anything, even if it's temporary. She's a great magician!
>We'll have to wait until the Quantum Geography stops acting up though, lousy rotten no-good...
>Looks like Okuu knows where to go, so let's tag along!
>Okuu - "Umm...That was weird, but let's move on?">You never knew that Parsee was narcoleptic. Huh. Well, you learn something new every day!
>Let's go!
>Back in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Patchouli is currently running around under the influence of a spell that turned her into a 5 year old.
> Patchouli: Stay that d'aww forever.
>Sakuya - "I have them stored away, but surely you would have known this already. I simply came along to make sure that they had someone relatively sane keeping an eye on them. Even in Gensokyo, sanity does have it's advantages after all.">"Don't talk to me about sane, time-stopping maid woman. You're the one with a portable closet full of maid uniforms. You're also working for a vampire. No sane person does that."
> Sakuya: Explain as much as you know about Quantum Geography... and that it's a bad thing. You think.>"From what I read in your mind, this 'quantum geography' is a bad thing. I still don't see why I have to be involved, though."
>Sakuya: Produce Satori's electric shikigami.>"There we go. You pull a computer out of some storage space that is messing with time itself. Like I said: nowhere near sane."
>Flandre - Hmm...there's gotta be a way to get older quicker! After all, we're over 495 years old! Sakuya's 20-something and already looks grown-up!>Satori recoils. "AAH! What are you doing here? Get back home where you belong! You're a vampire! You don't age unless under the influence of magic!"
>And where's the Quantum Geography thingy...We'll bust it up real good~!
>Okuu - "Oh yeah! I was wondering where those went!">"Wondering where the chibis went? The maid might not be completely sane, but at least she's competent."
> Okku: Think about food. Satori can't read anything important if you only think about food!>But it's hard to do something that you're not thinking about!
>Utsuho: "Oh, yeah, I need my spare control rod. Do you remember where it is?">"It's probably inside here somewhere. How did your original one turn into a nurse outfit and where did it go? Wait, let me guess. The maid is holding it in the fabric of space-time. Nailed it."
>Flandre - "That's kinda rude y'know, today's one of my better days~!">"I know stress is weird, but don't go breaking anything at all near me. Like I said, breaking abstract concepts isn't possible."
>She needs to just relax, all that stress can't be good for her. Wonder if we can break her stress..
>...Ah! Maybe she just needs something to eat! Big Sis always gets grouchy and stressed when she hasn't eaten!
>Wait...maybe she needs to take a warm shower? Ooh, China always says that works great for getting rid of stress!
>...Stress is a weird thing.
>Sakuya: Of course we keep sufficient changes of clothes. We almost didn't have enough during the endless winter incident.>"There's another thing. You don't store your knives with your clothes. That's common sense!"
>Sakuya - "That is true, you have been especially stable today. I suppose she would be proud.">"If she's on one of her good days, I'd hate to see her bad ones. You're right about the plotting. Last thing we need around here is another incident."
>And at least it's better than sitting around plotting or doing nothing. Someone has to be the levelheaded voice of reason after all. Powers maybe be crazy, but the people who use them aren't always that.
>Besides, it's just common sense to carry a few spare outfits, never know when you might need one after all.>"Yes, but still... knives?"
>"At any rate, where do you want me to put this?" We'll set the shikigami where she says to.
>Yes, I know you can hear these thoughts. It's rather obvious after all.>"I wasn't going to point it out, but you know I can read minds, and that I can't read the shikigami's. You certainly are one of the more consistently smart visitors I've gotten here."
>Okuu - "Well...It kinda went weird..." So much for trying to be more competent...we try to help, but it's never good enough..>It's no good thinking that you aren't competent! You may not be, but you can be if you try! Positive force does wonders!
>In hindsight, standing in front of the maid when she's on a hair-trigger and it's pitch-black isn't a smart idea, even for us.
>"Maybe I put it in my room!" Let's check in there!
>Koi-koi - She needs to chill out, huh? Let's see about making her a bit calmer and more mellow.
>Ah, not too much though, Just take the edge off. And in a way that she knows it's us. Like say, making her suddenly think of us giving her a thumbs up.
>We should be able to make ourself visible to her alone, right?
>Okuu - "Alright! Now, let's not break this one.">Not breaking things is always productive.
>Let's rejoin the others, and hang around idly.
>Maybe Satori needs some tea? That always helps Orin when she's stressed...
>Sakuya - "Well, they're quite useful after all. You never know when you might need a good knife for something. Such as being invited to a surprise dinner party that serves steak. That, and they're simply efficient. I do enjoy efficient things after all.">"The knives that you throw are not serving knives or steak knives. That is a terrible excuse."
>And honestly, who ever heard of a maid that throws swords? She must be terribly inefficient.
>Besides, it wasn't hard to put two and two together when you started commenting on things I was thinking.>"I agree. Most other people wouldn't point it out though."
>Sakuya: It's not like the knives and the clothes ever get mixed up. Extra-dimensional storage is convenient like that.>Well they did one time, but that was how you got the first fairy maid, so no real harm came out of that.
>Also we can influence space to a degree. That helps too.
>Flandre - "Well, at least I'm not breaking anything, huh? Maybe you should have a hot shower after all this, China says it's great for getting rid of stress~!">"I don't need a hot shower. This tea will do just fine."
>Well, we are behaving ourselves, so why don't people see we're nice...?
>Koi-koi - Tea...that sounds like a good idea. Let's give sis the idea to have some of her favorite tea. That should calm her down a bit!
>Flandre - "Ooh. Tea's niiice~">You take a sip of your tea. Yeah, tea would be nice.
>We'll have to get some tea after all this too!
>Sakuya - "Well, they can be used that way though. Knives are quite multipurpose.">"It's just that using a knife for something other than its intended purpose seems so... inelegant."
>Besides, you never know when you might need a knife. I just happen to carry spares on the off chance I lose one.
>Okuu - "Whoa...Koishi's back too?!">You would like to hug Koishi, but you've already put on your control rod. Also, you're holding tea in your other hand, and you don't want to spill it.
>Let's give 'em a hug! Ah, but set the control rod aside until we're done hugging 'em. Don't wanna hurt 'em with it after all.
>Mini Koi-koi - Let's just keep watching the fun for now, Maybe the kid with the nifty wings will get her wish later!
>Okuu - "Oooh! Koishi, did you do this? You always do care about people after all~">Koishi gives a strained smile. "No, I didn't, but I can guess at who did."
>Well, let's enjoy the tea!
>Sakuya - "...Well, this is a surprise.">Kogasa is about to surprise Rinnosuke, who's currently repairing a vital support beam for his shop. She feels like she should be somewhere else.
>How did we get tea so soon? We haven't even resolved everything we set out to do. Well, we'll worry about that later.
>Flandre - "Wow...When'd we all get tea? Tasty though~">"Ask her, she served it," Satori says, glaring at Koishi.
>...Usually tea comes after these 'incident' thing though, at least, that's what Sakuya says. But we haven't beaten up the quantum-thingy yet!
>Oh well, we'll have this tea now, and then more tea later after we've beaten up that quantum-thingy!
>Mini Koi-koi - Well, this was kinda out of left field, but tea's always nice.
>Flandre - "Well, it was nice visiting again, and thanks for the tea~! Maybe that mountain's not at the mansion anymore.">"The mountain's probably gone, but judging by your description of this quantum geography, there's going to be something else that'll impede your progress."
>Lousy rotten no-good zargin'-fargin' blibblin' quantum-thingy...Well, let's at least finish the tea before we go, Big Sis always says to never waste tea!
>...Even though she ends up spilling it pretty often. Big Sis is weird. Oh well, we'll leave with the others when we finish the tea.
>Sakuya - "Well, I suppose we should be departing then. The tea was rather nice as well, my thanks.">Koishi bows. "I'm glad that it was to your enjoyment."
>Let's finish the tea as well, then we'll depart with the others. Perhaps we should see if that mountain's removed itself by now.
>Okuu - We're going already? but we haven't even gotten halfway done with the tea yet!>Huh? Everyone is leaving?
>Oh well, we'll just chug it all down and tag along! "Thanks for the tea!"
>Mini Koi-koi - Well, we may as well tag along then! They never expect the Chibi after all~!
>Okuu - Wah! We gotta keep up!>You did. You're right behind them.
>Flandre - Well, we may as well give it a look-see. Maybe it's a castle like that one game-thingy patchy gave us! The one with the guy with the neat whip!>You head back in the direction of Misty Lake. Hopefully it's somewhere more suited for an adventure, like a castle! Or a temple, but being a vampire might get in the way of holy temple ransacking.
>...That does make one wonder though, just what is a man? We know little girls, girls, old people who look like little girls, but what's a man?
>Sakuya - She's thinking about something strange again, isn't she? Well, we'll keep an eye on her all the same, it's one of our many jobs after all.>Flandre is always thinking about something strange. She has a point, though. The Scarlet Devil Mansion might be back to normal by now.
>Mini Koi-koi - Oh well, she woke up at least, didn't she? Let's follow along still!
>Flandre: "Hey, cool!">This is just like an adventure! All you need is a whip!
>Head in.
>Wonder why a man would keep secrets in a pile.
>Okuu: "Hey, wait up!">Why does everyone keep on going places without you?
>Follow Flandre in.
<Sakuya: Sigh, then follow.>Why does Flandre always pick the worst places to explore?
>Flandre - Well, this might be fun, but we'll have to be more careful this time! But still, a new adventure means we need a new outfit!>Sure enough, Nitori's store has several strange things, along with clothes. How does she know what to stock?
>So let's check out Nitori's shop to see if she's got any new outfits! We'll still punch the quantum thingy in the face when we find it though, we've already resolved to do that because it did all this weird stuff to us.
>Okuu - "Wow....">Aside from the usual randomly-picked machines, there's something that catches your eye:
>Oh hey, it's the kappa again! Wonder what she's got..?
>Sakuya - Well, at least she isn't acting up like when the mountain showed up. Someone has to keep an eye on these two after all, so we'll have to keep close.>Your companions are too busy admiring the kappa shop to notice that you are all locked in this temple.
>Flandre - "Hey, hey, how much for this box o' clothes?">New outfits might
>No time to worry about it being unnerving, if it's got every outfit out there, then it's got a new one for us!
>Okuu - Convenient! Let's see how much it is!>Just in case. You'll definitely want to be able to have replacement control rods available.
>Sakuya - Canned Decoy...Well, we can look to see how much it is.>Flandre drags you over to the price list. She's excited about the box of clothes in particular.
>We'll have to be exceedingly careful from here on out though.
>Sakuya - Well, it's only 2000, and we should be able to store it easily enough. Besides, Mistress should find it rather handy as well once we find her.>You have the money, so you might as well. You purchase the box of clothes and put it into your TSMS.
>We'll have to get that insurance as well, which means that we can't afford to spend anymore than what we already are.
>Flandre - Yayz! New clothes! Woohoo!>Clothes! Yay! You should go through them later.
>Oh, we can't get too excited though, last time that happened, big sis had up cleaning splattered fairy off the walls for the whole week!
>...S'not our fault they got in the way...
>Okuu - Oh, looks like the maid's got everything under control~! Man she's efficient! We should get a mini-sakuya too sometime!>But you already are a maid! You've still got the uniform!
>Flandre - Why wait? Let's poke through it now!>You are now wearing new clothes. Unfortunately, as the clothing is a set, you have to take off your cat ear headband and put it into the box.
>...Aha! This (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=645840) one looks perfect!
>Okuu - Hey! That's a neat outfit! Let's look for one for us now!>Some people might think that your outfit is ridiculously fancy.
>....Woohoo! Jackpot (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=832974)! Now here's an outfit Rin would be jealous of!
>...Parsee too, but she's always like that!
>Sakuya - At least they're safe. This box could prove to be even more useful than we imagined, since it has clothing like this.>You've got half a mind to change out of your maid uniform, if the box has clothes like that.
>If nothing, it would save us the effort of needing to repair clothing as often.
>Sakuya - We can easily procure improved outfits for the Fairy maids with this box!>One more quick examination confirms that yes, the box does contain fairy-sized outfits. You will have to implement a new dress code as soon as you get back.
>We'll have to keep it under lock and key for a little while though, who knows what else broke when Flandre broke into the TSMS.
>"Utsuho, could you blast open a better path for us? I do not trust this hallway up ahead."
>"Utsuho, could you blast open a better path for us? I do not trust this hallway up ahead.">Well, Sakuya must know what she's doing. Nuclear blast time~!
>Okuu - Arrite then, let's blast open a new path! Let's go over to the wall opposite of the kappa shop, and blast through! "One new path, coming up!"
>Flandre - Woohoo! New clothes always feel nice~! We should keep close to Sakuya though, 'cuz she's the really responsible one!>Your excitement over your new clothes means that you barely even pay attention to Sakuya's lecture.
>"New clothes, new clothes. heehee~!"
>Sakuya - Well, this is certainly something new. We'll watch for now.>This goes against incident-solving protocol, but you're not really in the mood for that, anyway. This incident is highly nonstandard, especially considering who you're with.
>Okuu - Headtilt. "Unyu? Aren't deathtraps bad though?">"Well, yeah, they are," the unnamed youkai replies. "That's sort of the point."
>Flandre - Yeah, if she says it's bad, we'll have to keep from doing it again.>You wouldn't want to break time itself. That would break a lot of other stuff, and that's not good at all!
>...But who is this weirdo? She needs a new outfit! She's too plain otherwise~
>Flandre - "Hey, Okuu? Could you step aside for a bit~? I got something to say to her that words can't convey~ I'm gonna cool her head~">"Unyu? Okay..."
>When Okuu moves, let's unload Starbow Break~! We gonna 'befriend' her just like Marisa does!
>Okuu - ...Oh boy. She's acting just like that girl from the comics Orin brings back! We'd better get outta the way!>It's like Flandre is an action hero! This is so cool!
>WHOAHOLYSHITSOMANYCOLORS.
>Sakuya - Facepalm. Well, at least she's remembering to use her spellcards...>The dramatic nothings that Flandre was saying were par for the course.
>Flandre - "Heehee~ So many colors, all of them painful and whee~!">Colors are the best when they cause pain. Meiling needs more rainbow spellcards. If the rules allowed it, you'd help her make some, but apparently, that's not how spellcards work.
>...Okay kiddo, let's rein in the crazy a bit, gotta keep at least a little rational. "Ah well, this is gonna be fun~! Let's see how you avoid the rain~!"
>Okuu - Whoa...That's a neat spellcard! She's a little nutty, but man is she cool!>That is one of the most colorful spellcards. Shiny! Of course it being hard on the eyes for Sakuya isn't much considering that you've been the inside of a star before.
>..Eh? The maid's looking away? It must not be easy on the eyes then, we shouldn't look at it directly either then.
>Sakuya - ...Well, not entirely rational, but at least it's an improvement.>Where did she pick up that sort of babbling, anyway? The only contact she's had outside of the basement was with Marisa and Reimu.
>Well, we'll see if she's got any will to fight after this. She probably won't though. We'll just not look at it directly.
>Flandre - Staaaaaaare~>Headtilting adorably is a redundancy. Headtilting is always adorable.
>Then headtilt adorably. "Hey, where'd she goooo~? Did I really go ooooverboaaaard~? Hee-hee~"
>...Eh? Sakuya's taking us somewhere! Whee~!
>Okuu - Wooooow...She's AWESOME! We need to get a chibi of her too!>Flandre is the awesomest vampire ever. You don't think Satori would take too kindly to a Chibi Flandre around the house, though.
>....Wonder if there's a chibi of that weirdo from before?
>Uwah?! Why's the maid dragging us- Oh, that's convenient!
>Sakuya - Well, let's head for the emergency exit, and drag the other two along. But make sure to not look away from it.>"Hey, where'd she goooo~? Did I really go ooooverboaaaard~? Hee-hee~"
>Sakuya - Perhaps it's time we go visit Reimu, this qualifies as an Incident after all. Naturally, we'll bring those two goofballs along.>Of course. You can't just leave them to do whatever they want. Destination: Hakurei Shrine.
>Flandre - Sit on Okuu's shoulders. 'cuz who needs flight when you've got an awesome bird-girl for a friend? Those tengu are totally fail in comparison~!>Shoulder-rides for all the insane little vampires! You don't need to fly if someone is flying for you!
>"Hey, let's go~! Whee! Off to find that weirdo~!"
>...Eh? Sakuya's going somewhere? We'd better follow and make sure nothing happens to her! Hi-ho Okuu, Away~!>You command your noble steed to follow the maid of time manipulation as she heads towards a destination unknown. You can't just leave her alone; who knows what trouble she'd get into?
>Okuu - Heehee, Satori-sama never let us do this with her~!>Flandre is so much fun to be around! Maybe you'll start carrying Satori around like this!
>Oh, we're following the maid? Well, let's go!
>Sakuya - Timestop, and track those two down.>It takes you the better part of an instant, but you manage to track the two clowns down.
>"There you two are. Now, do stick close."
>Those two would get in so much trouble without us keeping an eye on them.
>Flandre - "Buh-whuh? Oh, Hee-hee~ Sakuya's timestop, silly us~!">Sakuya's timestop is so useful! She can do anything with it!
>Oh well, it was fun while it lasted~
>Besides, Sakuya'd get in so much trouble without us keeping an eye on her.
>Okuu - "...Geh?! A Maid?!">Sakuya is the reasonable one, Satori said! This means she's the leader and you gotta follow her!
>...Wait, we aren't a kappa, why are we saying this? Oh well, we should really stay closer to her.
>All - Let's make for the shrine, with Sakuya on lead!
>Flandre - "Owwie...I just wanted to give you a hug...">Reimu looks at you and sighs. "No tacklehugs. I need to stay a professional shrine maiden."
>Sulk a little.
>"You too Okuu? I kinda wondered about that too!">"Those needles aren't convincing at all!"
>Sakuya's talking about that weirdo isn't she? "Yeah! I wanna punch her in the face!>Reimu pets you on the head. "Don't worry. If what Sakuya says is true, I'll punch her in the face for you. Nice new outfit, by the way."
>Okuu - ".....Ow.">Reimu's weapons always hurt. A lot.
>Yup, hurts just as much as the last time.
>"Y'know, I always wondered why they're called Persuasion Needles."
>Nod. "In the face!">Reimu turns to you. "Your new outfit is ridiculous. Good job. All you need now is a fancy hat."
>...We aren't a parrot, why are we talking like this?
>Sakuya. - Sigh. "We came to let you know there's yet another Incident going on. We ran into the Culprit earlier, but she managed to slip away from us. Apparnetly the cause of all of Gensokyo's geography being as strange as it has been today is due to her, the Youkai of Quantum geography.">Flandre and Utsuho jump into the conversation, and Reimu gives both of them criticism on their outfits.
>Flandre - Whoooa...It isn't every day Reimu praises us! Maybe she'll even tag along! "Hee-hee~ I used a spellcard, booooom~! And then she ran away, zoooom~!">Reimu stops petting your head.
>Sigh. "I wanted to keep playing too...But then she ran off...I didn't even use something as crazy as Ripples, It was just Starbow Break...Hey, even you could beat that one, and you're just human..." Sulk just a teensy bit.
>Sakuya - Nod. "We were looking for the culprit anyways, so you likely will have better luck. Nevermind that we could use another person with some measure of common sense.">"Right, lemme get my Yin-Yang Orbs..." Reimu heads into another room. She comes back in time to catch the tail end of your musing.
>Hmm...Perhaps that box has a better Miko Uniform for her....Hmm...Perhaps something with a butterfly theme...
>Come to think of it, designing everyone's fashion is yet another job of ours, isn't it?
>Okuu - Fistcontrolrod! "...Maybe that box has a new hat too!">Yup, you can clearly see hats in that pile of clothing Sakuya left there. She's so clumsy!
>...She was being serious about that hat remark, right? Sarcasm was always a problem for us, we never could get an handle on it.
>"...But how do you put a handle on a concept...?"
>Okuu - "...This stuff's hard. Like rocks, or old cookies. There's something sad about an uneaten cookie.">Reimu mumbles to herself. "It would be nice if I even had cookies. Nobody nearby knows how to bake them..."
>Hmmm....Ah! We'll pick out a hat like those guys in the old western movies wear! We're wearing a bunch of ponchos and stuff, so we gotta have the hat to go with it!
>Flandre - Hey! We'll just dig our way out! "Bleh! So many clothes!">Your superhuman vampiric powers aid you as you mine a tunnel out of the mountain of clothes.
>Hover around while looking at all the CReimu. "They're all pretty cute y'know! Wonder if you were this cute as a kid~?"
>Sakuya - Oh dear. At least she's dug her way out.>Flandre looks surprised as the entire pile of clothes vanishes under the influence of your time manipulation.
>We'll just timestop, and clean up the mess by putting it back in the box. But we'll not put Flan in, Mistress Remilia would be quite cross if we did that.
> Sakuya: Waaaait a second, we and Utsuho didn't say anything. How did Reimu respond to those thoughts?>Reimu smiles. "Sorry about that. I was just trying out this mind reading charm that I made. It seems to only work sporadically, though."
>Sakuya - Hm. Perhaps the Mistress would do with having an outfit like that as well.>You're sure the two sisters would match each other nicely.
>"Well, I simply hope it won't cause you to have any trouble if it manages to read the little sister's mind."
>"And as for cookies, I'm certain Patchouli has a cookbook that we can loan you. Baked goods tend to taste better if you've put in the effort yourself. So the next destination is visiting the mansion, and hoping the Quantum Geography doesn't cause any obstructions."
>Flandre - ...Hey! We got a new outfit?>This outfit is comfy and stylish. You have to say, you look pretty cool in it.
>....It's pretty comfy~ "Purple Hair? Can't say I can imagine you with that kinda haircolor~!"
>"Oh yeah, I was wantin' to see big sis too anyhow!"
>Okuu - Hell yeah new headgear. "Whoo~ New hat~!">New hat! New hat! Wait, why's everyone all silent all of a sudden?
>Whoa, the kid got a new outfit in there? ...Awww, pile's gone. Oh well.
>Okuu - "Umm...hey guys? The Black-White's coming.">Reimu groans. "Oh, great. She's charging up a Master Spark, too, isn't she?"
>Oh this is gonna suuuuuuck.
>Flandre - "Marisa? Yay~! I was gonna see about visiting her too~!">Unfortunately, you only manage to say "Marisa? Yay~! I was go -" before you are completely covered by a layer of Chibi Reimus.
>Sakuya - Sigh. "I was meaning for you to learn how to bake them yourself, but fine. Let's take care of this first.">You can't even open your mouth, because Reimu has commanded all her Chibi Reimus to cover everything.
>Well, let's keep on standby, since it seems that Marisa's raised her own army, much like Reimu has.
>Flandre - "Bluh. That felt funny.">It felt like the color red was invading your personal space. Not cool.
>Tacklehug Marisa! Ah, but not too powerfully. We remember what happened when we tacklehugged a fairy at full power.
>"Hiiiii~!"
>Sakuya - "Well, that was...interesting.">Reimu fistpumps as Flandre flies off to greet Marisa. "Woo! It worked!"
>If the chibis can do something like this, then...Patchouli will be quite interested in researching them.
>Okuu - "...I feel all tingly'n'stuff.">That was not a pleasant sensation. You feel like your boiled egg has disappeared.
>Flandre - "Awww....she didn't pass out last time I hugged her like this...">You're sure she can't be that weak!
>Let's poke at her a bit, maybe tickle her a little too.
>"Waaaakey waaaakey Maaaarisaaaa~!"
>Sakuya - Sigh. "At least she isn't destroying things, which is good.">Reimu is chuckling. "Well, Marisa sure surprised me!"
>Okuu - Hey, didn't we already eat that egg?>You did eat that egg! You remember because it tasted delicious. Why has it disappeared from your stomach?
>"Aw man...."
>Okuu - Frown. "If you wanted food, you shouldn't go stealin' it! Even a birdbrain like me knows that much! You oughta just ask.">Reimu's rebuttal actually is a little convincing. "Well, did you have another egg?"
>Nod in what we assume to be a wise manner. "That's just common sense."
>Sakuya - "For once, the bird has a point. If you wanted food, all you had to do was ask. I'm certain that there's books Patchouli has that can teach you how to cook for yourself. And there's always the Misty Lake that you can fish at, I myself being rather partial to doing so.">"But all Patchouli has are gourmet cook books! The ones that require fancy cooking stuff that needs outside world technology. Besides, whenever I even go near Misty Lake, I'm swarmed by fairies who want to beat me."
>Sigh. "At any rate, we can jump those hurdles once things are resolved. I'd be happy to teach you the finer points of fishing afterwards. I suppose we should drag Marisa along as well in that case, it's the best way to keep an eye on her."
>Flandre - "Hey! That wasn't very nice y'know! I thought I'd knocked you out!">"I've withstood your tacklehugs before, why wouldn't I this time?" Marisa grins. "I'm not going to be losing my touch for a while!"
>Frown. "You had me worried you lost your touch, y'know?"
>Aw, we can't stay mad at Marisa for TOO long, let's give her another tacklehug! This time we'll make sure it ends up just like those tacklehugs that the stuffed tiger does in that book about the boy and his stuffed bear!
>Sakuya: Better stop this now. Stop time and take the egg from Reimu, then give it back to Utsuho.>"But I like experimenting with charms! Besides, with Yukari's random visits, I can't use my 'luck in finding food' charm without her gapping all of it away."
>"If you can make a charm to take food that's already been eaten, surely you can come up with something that'll help you obtain food without committing a very bizarre act of theft."
>Sakuya - "And another thing, you could easily just cordon off the lake for a short time with those barriers you're so proud of.">"Yeah, but then I have to maintain the barrier constantly. I can't fish while I do that, and nobody visits my shrine enough to start a business. I blame all you incident people for that, by the way."
>Fistpalm. "Ah, perhaps you could even make a business out of that, cordoning off the lake so others can fish there without incident."
>Utsuho: "Give me that back!">You make a grab for the egg, but Sakuya takes it using her time-stopping powers. Have you mentioned how cool it is that Sakuya can stop time?
>Okuu - "Man...I almost lost you there little eggy...Down the hatch!">You eat it. It tastes just as delicious as the first time.
>Flandre - "Heehee~! Wanna come with us? We're gonna find that Youkai who's makin' gensokyo go all weird and beat 'er up~!">"Another incident? Count me in!" Marisa seems excited by this news. "Nice outfit, by the way. Where'd you get it?"
>Ooh! Maybe that box has a new outfit for Marisa too! We'll have to ask Sakuya to take it out soon.
>Sakuya - "Well, you could put flyers out at the village I suppose. And perhaps instead of paying you, they leave one fish of their catch with you. That way others can fish safely, and you only need to maintain a barrier for the scheduled fishing times.">"And leave the shrine open for another incident to destroy it? No, thanks. Anyway, I like my outfit as it is. It's practically my signature look."
>Sigh. We'll get a headache at this rate. "At any rate, perhaps you should find yourself a new outfit in that box before we leave to resolve things. I've refrained from doing so simply because this outfit is more efficient."
>Okuu - Eggy-egg~ "Hm-hm-hm~♪ Eggy~♪">Eggs are so good, you used to think that only nuclear fusion could make them better.
>Flandre - "Heehee~! Yup~! I don't get it though, she can't be that strong if she ran off after Starbow Break...Even you and Reimu could beat that card real easy!>"Yeah, but we're probably better than most youkai under the spellcard rules," Marisa says. "Wait, Patchy has books on bouncy huts? That's going to be the next one to take!"
>Sigh. "She's got the power of all that quantum stuff that makes Gensokyo so weird, but she's not using it right! She should...Uh, I dunno, make herself a bouncy hut thingy! I read about those in some of Patchy's books y'know!"
>Sakuya: "Reimu, if you can make a charm to take and restore food that has already been eaten, surely you can come up with a charm to steal back stolen food. Surely that would be easier then un-digesting it. Or you could just make an anti-gap charm.">"But then Yukari's going to mess with the boundaries of 'gap' and 'opening' or something else that's stupid and still works," Reimu grumbles. "Believe me. I've tried."
>Sakuya - "First, we should check the usual suspects that aren't the Mansion. Which would mean the Netherworld, the Youkai Mountain, and that Temple near the village. We've already visited Eientei earlier due to...'complications' involving mushrooms and chibi blood.">"I remember that. I was there, remember?" Reimu adjusts her ribbon. "Anyway, let's go to Youkai Mountain." She takes off, and the Chibi Reimus fly off after her.
>Flandre - "Whee!">Yelling "whee" whenever you have the urge to is a great idea.
>...Maybe we oughta find another new outfit again! ...Nah, we'll wait until we get Big Sis to come along~!
>"Yeah, don't drink any chibi blood, even I think that's a crazy idea~!"
>Okuu - "And all is right with the world~">You fly off after the others with your egg securely in your stomach again. Yes. Everything is right in the world.
>Well, we're happy, so let's stick with the others~
>Sakuya - Sigh as well. "Seems there's nothing for it.">Reimu raises an eyebrow. "Have I ever mentioned how creepy you can be sometimes?"
>Smile in that typical menacingly serial killer-ish way that we sometimes do when prospected with dishing out punishments. "We'll just have to punish her extra hard for this."
>Flandre - "Oh boy! When Sakuya smiles like that, there's gonna be a lotta ouch coming!">Marisa laughs nervously. "I sure wouldn't like to be that quantum geography youkai right now."
>This is gonna be great! Even Sakuya's on board now!
>Okuu - "Oww....somebody get the model number of that cruise missile...?">Reimu grabs you by the shirt collar and drags you through the door. "There was no cruise missile. now hurry up and get in the tower. Everyone else has already entered."
>Sakuya - We may as well check it this time. But we'll go back to our usual expression.>Nitori smiles. "It's a talent. Besides, here I can sell my more expensive things!"
>"Ah, you seem to be everywhere the Quantum Geography acts up. Strange, isn't it?"
>Flandre - Wow...Big tower! "Oh hey, Nitori's here too! She always shows up in places like this, I wonder why?">Nitori winks. "It's a secret."
>Okuu - "Oh, hi! Got anymore boiled eggs?">Nitori shakes her head. "No, but you can sell back your insurance and I'll pay you in boiled eggs."
>Sakuya - "Because this is the final dungeon I assume? This just means we're close to resolving things.">Nitori nods. "Wrong genre, but same idea. Just climb to the top. You going to buy anything?"
>Let's examine the Plot Flakes, since Utsuho seems to be bemused by them. We'll look into the Bottled Train Redirection as well.
>Flandre - "Wow...Hey, have you ever made anything that soft and fluffy, but completely indestructible? I kinda break a lot of my toys...Oh! But I don't try to! It just happens..">Nitori shakes her head. "If we make something, it is something that has a form and can be broken. You'd have to get into theoretical quantum stuff to make something that doesn't break."
>It's not our fault people keep making toys that break too easily, they should use better stuff to make 'em!
>Okuu - "Ooooh...I do want eggs, but I kinda need the insurance too......">UTSUHO.TH has stopped working. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
>...Fnzaah! On the one hand, we won't have to worry about our control rod. But on the other hand, delicious, delicious eggs....
>Proceed to stare blankly like we just had a minor brainfreeze. Because, y'know, we kinda did.
>Sakuya - Let's buy 5 Bottled Train Redirections.>You now have 11,000 G and 5 Train Redirections. You still have no idea how it's supposed to work, but Nitori wouldn't sell something that didn't work, so you know it works somehow.
>Sigh. "Simple-minded girl, isn't she? It's probably some sort of egg-related conundrum."
>Flandre - "Quantum stuff huh? That gives me an idea~!">Marisa looks at you nervously. "Just don't break anything important with that idea of yours."
>Okuu's gone funny? Ooh, maybe it's that Quantum thingy's fault!
>....Or maybe she's just thinking too hard? That happens to us too sometimes.
>Okuu - Yeah, let's take a moment to pull back together.>LOG IN
>Sakuya - We may as well grab 7 things of water. Have to keep hydrated after all. The 6th is in case we have to use the Instant Medkit, and the 7th will be for making some tea later.>You now 10,650 G and 7 ...things of water. How did Nitori access your inventory and why is everyone breaking into it?
>"Well, at least she seems to have recovered. We should be careful about any traps we find in here, that Youkai seems to be quite fond of making deathtraps."
>Flandre - "Yeah! I'm gonna give her some real fun next time! I'll use Ripples next! Nyahahaha~!">"Sorry," Nitori apologizes, "If it's not on the price list, I don't have it with me."
>Ooh! Looks like Sakuya's planning to make tea later? Maybe we can make that special tea we thought of earlier!
>"Hey Nitori, you got something I can carry powder or something in?"
>Okuu - ...What's she gonna do, mess around with water?>Flandre's spellcards may be cool, but they've got the strangest names.
>...No, that doesn't sound right....Maybe it's a spellcard?
>..Agh! We can't freeze up again! We've gotta help everyone get to the top!
>Sakuya - More features means she's easier to identify. And thus, easier to defeat.>Reimu searches her clothes and pulls out another mind-reading charm before throwing it away. "You sound like a professional mercenary right now."
>"Last time, she didn't even have that really. I suppose the more we confront her, the more defined she becomes."
>Flandre - "....Ah, Marisa, you got something I can hold powder in? I got something I wanna try later! If it works, I think you'll like it~!">Marisa reaches into her hat. "Sure, I've got something right in here somewhere..."
>Okuu - Is she going on about that cat-thing from earlier still? At least she's found something neat to dedicate herself to!>You're sure that you wouldn't be able to fit cat ears anywhere. They would, after all, get in the way of your marvelous yellow cowboy hat.
>....Wonder how we'd look with cat ears...Or how Orin would look with awesome wings like ours!
>"Wooooow.....That'd look so awesome....."
>Sakuya. "Well, it's merely efficient to think like that. I have a reputation as the Perfect Maid to uphold after all.">"Still," Reimu scratches her head nervously, "it makes you sound sorta creepy."
>So, Marisa's inventory system is similar to ours, no? Perhaps she could use a few pointers, given how Komachi doesn't get trapped in ours. At the very least, it'll keep her from bothering Patchouli.
>"Well, shall we continue onwards? Be mindful of any deathtraps though." Let's roll! And watch out for traps too.
>Flandre "Coool! This is gonna help out later! I think you'll like what I've got planned~!">Marisa laughs nervously. "Sure. Whatever your plan is, it can't be as anything the Moriya Shrine people are planning on a regular basis."
>Pause for a few seconds.
>"Oh! Don't worry though, it doesn't involve me going all crazy and blowing stuff up! ....Yet. That'll probably come before it though~! Gotta beat up that weirdo after all!"
>Oh hey, we're gonna get left behind! We'd better grab Marisa and drag her with too! "Sorry, but we gotta go now Red-Hair Lady! Bye-bye~!"
>...Oh yeah, guess we should be careful of traps too huh? Well, we'll just Kyuu em when they come~!
>Okuu - "....Oh! I was thinking how neat I'd look with Cat Ears too! And maybe how cool Orin would look with Wings!">Reimu shrugs. "I guess I shouldn't judge people by their thoughts. Cats with wings would look weird, I think."
>It's a crazy thought, but it's one of our thoughts dammit! It's sure to be awesome!
>...Whoa! We gotta get moving too! Better be careful of those traps though, you'd think they're girls with how they look and all, but apparently they're boys! The world is really weird sometimes.
>...Wait, does this mean that weirdo's really a boy who looks like a girl?! Ow...headache...Gonna have to visit the clinic back home after all this.
>Sakuya - "Well, this is something else. It looks like I might not be able to do any significant damage.">Well, Flandre's one way to solve things.
>Let's keep on guard, and get ready to timestop it if things look like they're gonna go-
>...She just went all out on it.
>Flandre - "Whee! I'll smash it up! Let's go, Laevateinn~!">The glob of mercury splatters everywhere and melts into the ground
>Let's paste it in one go with Laevateinn!
>Okuu - Whoa...She's AWESOME! A giant sword made of energy? Badass!>You're left staring at the neat slice in the wall that the giant sword left.
>Sakuya: "I'm not sure what she hoped to accomplish with this.">You reach the other side easily, and the others follow you.
>Fly across. Stay above the walkway in case we have to land for some reason.
>If we make it across:
>"Do what I just did."
>Flandre: "Okay!">Wheeeeeee! Flying is so fun!
>Do what Sakuya did.
>Utsuho: Follow Flandre across.>All these rooms are so easy! This is sorta fun!
> Find something to drop into pit.>You find a shiny blue rock on the ground and drop it into the pit.
> Listen for sound of it landing.
> Sakuya - Win at box-pushing puzzles.>You have to admit, that youkai is brilliant at making puzzles.
>Flandre: Kyuu our way throughthrough the boxes.
> Utsuho and Flandre - Brute-force way through box-pushing puzzles.>Puzzles aren't as fun as destroying things! Kyuu~
> Utsuho and Flandre - Brute-force way through box-pushing puzzles.>"Utsuho!"
>Sakuya: Timestop and grab her, then resume time.>"Cheater!" The now almost-completely-defined youkai is struggling against your grip. "Foul play! I don't even have a name, yet!"
>"Reimu, I don't suppose you have a charm to rstrain her, do you?"
>Okuu - "You should learn how to use them too then! They're fun!">Sakuya turns to you. "There's a reason for that. Nobody else is insane enough to use them."
>They really are fun. Why don't more people use them aside from Marisa and us?
>Sakuya - ...She just gave that girl an idea, didn't she?>You really hope that the youkai is too knocked out to actually consider this. There's one thing you don't need more of around Gensokyo, and that's giant lasers that blast through anything and everything. Those are so hard to clean up after.
>"Here's a tip, Gensokyo is filled with people who can cheat like this, so you should be thankful it was just we five. If any of the stronger individuals were to get involved, you would likely have already been beaten by now."
>Particularly if it was Youmu, she just would have kept cutting her way through things until she made it to the top. Girl's dedicated to her art like that. We have to respect her for that.
>Flandre "Giant lasers that can destroy anything? I should figure that out too!">Lasers destroy everything, and your power can destroy everything! It's like double destruction!
>Surely nothing bad can come of us learning how to use a giant destroyeverything laser!
>Sakuya - Sigh. "I suppose this resolves that little mess for now.">Reimu shrugs. "It's as good a name as any."
>Hmm...she doesn't have a name yet, come to think of it. "Hmm...Since she has a map-like dress, and her powers are related to the Quantum Geography, perhaps Chiri would suffice as a name. It means Geography after all."
>Flandre - "I like that name! So Chiri, let's see you grit those teeth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26OUyVFbYwk&feature=related)~!">"Still, I think I should be able to choose my own name, at least... wait, why do I need to grit my teeth?"
>Time to lay one on her! Ah, but let's hold back, even if she is a Youkai, we could still kill her if we're not careful, and big sis says going all out while punching someone isn't a good thing if you're not using a spellcard!
>Okuu - "Wow....Nice punch!">Knocked her straight into the other wall. Neat.
>Sakuya - Sigh. "Well, off to find her again I suppose? Perhaps the mansion is finally back to a form of normal. We should adjourn there for tea, and don't worry about paying this time around, I'll waive the fees for two reasons. #1, you're helping resolve things. And #2, this little matter isn't resolved yet.">"Sweet! Free tea!" Reimu cheers. "Woo!"
>Inventory
>Flandre - "D'awww....she got away!">Drills? Nobody uses drills! That's just silly.
>Brighten up a bit. "At least I got to punch her~!"
>....Maybe we should look into giant drills! That's sure to be something awesome!
>"Tea? I think I can try out that idea then! Sakuya, do we still have that other Leaf Stone from earlier?"
>Okuu - Leaf Stone? What's wings here going on about? Something about leaf stones and tea?>Marisa shrugs. "That's what I think, too. Rock tea doesn't make sense no matter how you spin it."
>Controlrodpalm. "I got it! It's a rock that makes tea!"
>Beat.
>"No...that doesn't sound right...Maybe it's really old tea that turned into a rock...? No...that doesn't sound right either..."
>Utsuho: "Wait, we can't have tea before we get her back!">What are you doing? Talking of tea before you've even beaten the perpetrator to a pulp?
>Exit through the hole, fly to the top of the tower, blast another hole and fly back in.
>Flandre: "Yeah! Even though I got to punch her, we can't let her get away!">You haven't beaten her in a proper spellcard duel! That needs to be remedied!
>Follow!
>Sakuya; Sigh.>Marisa sighs with you. "This incident is really weird. Nothing's making sense."
>"Well, we'd best go after them."
>Follow those two.
>Utsuho: Fly to the top of the tower, blast a hole in the roof, and enter.>You fly up to the top of the tower, hoping to break into Chiri's stronghold.
>Sakuya/Flandre: Follow her in.>Utsuho climbs inside, and you follow her in.
>Sakuya/Flandre: Follow her in.>Reimu scratches her head. "Who's Yuuka attacking?"
>Sakuya - "We've already been dealing with her, she's been quite a troublemaker.">"Well, It's mainly the principle of the thing. I can't be fine with someone who makes copies of other people at will."
>Sigh. "I've noted that the smaller versions of us have almost exactly the same abilities as us, the originals. So I would think that you would welcome having more like-minded sorts around."
>Pause.
>"...They haven't damaged it, have they? Since they have the same capacities are the original, you can put them to work fixing any damages they might have caused. Most everyone else has already done the same with theirs."
>Flandre - Didn't we read about someone like this? She might be fun, but she's kinda scary too.>You remember reading about her in that chronicler's book! She's Yuuka Kazami, right?
>"I punched her~!"
>Okuu - Who's this greenie? She seems kinda strong....Kinda scary too.>The green lady smiles in a creepy way. "That sounds wonderful. I wish I was there to see it."
>But she uses a giant laser too! So she can't be all that bad, right? "Yeah, knocked her clean outta the park!"
>Sakuya - "Well, you're not much taller than Flandre is, and physically she's still a child.">Chiri floats upwards to match your height. "I'm tall! See? Same height as you!"
>Okuu - "What's she up to..? Well, I'm not a mindreader like Satori-sama, so it's probably nothing I need to worry about~">Flandre's plans are interesting, but what's even better is when they're a surprise!
>But really, what could she be up to..?
>Flandre - "Heehee~! Yeah, Sakuya's right~!">"You don't have to rub it in..." Chiri mutters.
>Fistpalm, then drag Chiri off to a secluded corner. "Hey, I just had an idea. You know a lot about these chibis and stuff, yeah? Well, when I threw one of those Leaf Stones at it, it became a little catgirl version of me! And then, when I tried pressing the other leaf stone to my forehead, I got a cat-ear headband! I wonder if I can do the same?"
>Grin. "I bet I'd be way cuter if I did~!"
>Utsuho: Did we get chibis of everyone in the palace?>You remember that you haven't caught a Chibi Rin.
>Flandre: Did we get chibis of everyone at the SDM?>You haven't gotten a Chibi Patchouli or Chibi Koakuma yet, but you;re sure those are easy to find.
>Sakuya: Be contacted by Patchouli.>Sakuya, can you hear me?
>LaserTurtle: Prepare the laser
>LaserTurtle: Recap and reflect on the wondrous journey so far.
>Flandre - "I had a neat idea on how we can surprise big sis! If you can make a fountain of youth like I read about in those storybooks, maybe you can make one that'll make me and big sis older-looking or something! I've kinda figured out she doesn't like how some folks don't take her seriously enough, and I think maybe it's because she looks like a kid.">"That sounds good. What does a fountain of youth look like?"
>Nod in what we think is a wise and sagely manner. "So something like that's sure to make her happy!"
>Sakuya - "I've been keeping an eye on Flandre, and that Hell-Raven from the underground. As well as dealing with the cause of gensokyo's Quantum Geography acting weirder than normal, in addition to having found the cause of all the Chibis. As it turns out, the one behind the Quantum Geography, and the one behind the Chibis, are one and the same. A youkai of Quantum Geography who we've named Chiri.">It certainly sounds like it would be an interesting story.
>Laugh slightly. "You should have seen what happened when we managed to capture her. I'm certain Flandre will be happy to regale you with it. Oh, but don't worry, she's still very much alive if you intended on studying her any."
>Okuu - "You won't believe the crazy stuff I've seen with these people! They're fun to hang out with y'know! I even got this neat new outfit from them~!" Big ol' grin.>Orin nods. "Uh-huh. Well, I gotta get you back to Satori now."
>Sakuya - Well, that was certainly interesting.>This entire day was interesting. You're not even sure how it fit into one day. Really. The sun is setting right now.
>"Flandre, Utsuho, let's go."
>Let's take everyone back to the mansion.
>Flandre - "Uh, now I guess!">You proceed to fly in the best way possible: Rolling through the air!
>Let's roll!
>Okuu - "Whee! I hope there'll be plenty of boiled eggs too! I love boiled eggs!">Sakuya laughs. "Sure. I can whip something up for you."
>Let's go!
(I vote we keep foolin' around! I still got a few things left undone after all!)All right. Just tell me when you believe an epilogue is in order, then.
>Sakuya - Well, now that we've returned, it's time to get to work making the eggs and tea. We should make some of the special sweets for Flandre and the Mistress as well.>Sakuya heads off to the kitchen and starts preparing the boiled eggs and tea. She is followed by a line of Chibi Sakuyas, all holding cups, tea leaves, eggs, or other cooking ingredients.
>"I shall adjourn to the kitchens to get everything set."
>Okuu - Unyu? "I guess I'll just look around then..?">Thinking about it, Utsuho realizes that she hasn't actually been in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She is completely lost, partially because the the spatial manipulation that a couple of Chibi Sakuyas are doing out of habit.
>Let's meander around until we find something interesting.
>Flandre - Let's take Chiri with us and go find big sis to drag her off to the Library so we can try out the surprise!>Flandre grabs Chiri by the shirt collar. Well, at least it isn't Utsuho again.
>"I'm gonna go find big sis! Me and Chiri are gonna work on a surprise for her!"
>Remilia - Well, we should go find Flan- Oh, there she is.>Remilia shrugs internally. She's still not sure what exactly happened, but she trusts Sakuya's judgement. Besides, she's looking forward to hearing the story over tea.
>...Why's she dragging us to the Library? Well, Sakuya said she's been behaving herself rather well, so we'll humor her this time.
>Okuu - "This place sure is weird, isn't it lady? It's so...big.">Utsuho's control rod isn't that big.
>Kinda like our control rod.
>Sakuya - "Alright, tea leaves division over there, cups division over there. Hop to it! Let's get this show on the road girls, the tea and eggs aren't going to cook themselves!">Sakuya smiles. These chibis are much more competent than the fairy maids.
>Flandre - Let's fly over to patch-patch!>Patchouli calls for her assistant. "Koakuma, go show Flandre the section on the Fountain of Youth. I'm interested to see what she has planned."
>"Patch-patch! Where's the book that had the info on the fountain of youth thingy? I'm gonna have Chiri make one that makes you a little older instead~!"
>Chiri - "Woooourgh...The room's spinning....">Chiri is dizzy. Very dizzy.
>Remilia - ...What is she up to...?>Remila is clueless. Flandre smiles to herself. This is going to be the best surprise ever!
>Patchouli - How strange. I wonder if...No, we'll keep it to ourselves. it's nice to see the occasional moment when Remilia doesn't have all the answers for a change.>Well, Remilia doesn't usually have all the answers, anyway. Patchouli decides that she won't ruin the surprise, though.
>Cirno - "Hey guys! Let's go see what's up at that big mansion! Maybe we can play some tricks on 'em!">Cirno grins. They've got to be up to something! Some cat youkai with a wheelbarrow flew towards it a while ago!
>Mystia - "I dunno about that...We could get into some big trouble.."
>Wriggle - "Can't be all that bad, we're Youkai after all."
>Rumia - "I wanna see if they got anything to eat~!"
>Daiyousei - "...Um...Someone has to make sure everyone's okay, so I guess that's me..."
>Team 9 - To the mansion!
>Satori - "Ugh...I don't know how I let you talk me into this Rin...">Satori groans. "Why couldn't you just let me fly by myself?"
>Rin - "A little shellshocked, but she'll be fine. Maybe I shouldn't have gone through the forest so fast, all those hairpin turns and stuff."
>Okuu - "Wow! Thanks little maid-person!">Utsuho certainly wasn't going to go anywhere. For one thing, she was holding the map upside down.
>Let's see...Crap, we never were too good with maps, were we?
>Komachi - "Oh here, lemme handle that."
>..Aha, so if we go this way..."...Bingo. Let's head this way, we should reach the Main Hall with this path."
>Let's get going, and be sure to bring the birdbrain with us.
>Flandre - *Skreee!-Crash!* Oops, good thing Patch-patch made her books indestructible! ..The bookshelves aren't so much so..>Unfortunately, skidding does nothing in midair, but Flandre still manages to bring herself to a halt in front of the bookshelf.
>"Ahahaha, I crashed into it~! But here we are!"
>Let's dig up all the books about that fountain-thingy we can find!
>Chiri - "OooOooOoogh....">Chiri consoles herself with the fact that since she hasn't eaten anything after being clearly defined, she doesn't have any lunch to lose.
>Come on girl, we can keep our lunch down....
>Koa - "Um...Maybe you shouldn't have been going so fast..?">"I wasn't the one driving," Chiri moans. "So why am I the one that gets hurt?"
>Well, we should help her, just to make sure- Oh....Oh my. Her strength never ceases to amaze...
>Cirno - "I'm da boss ya grots, and I sez we sneak in through dat place wid all da books I can't read! We'll try ta' gum up dere schemez, see? I'm da boss, and wot I sez goez!">Mystia smiles. "Cirno may be an idiot, but she's not stupid."
>Wriggle - "Whoa-ho-hoh. Fired up today, isn't she? And why's she talking like some soccer hooligan?"
>Daiyousei - "I think she's been reading too many of those weird books at the secondhand shop..."
>Mystia - "Oh, the one that specs runs? I didn't think he had anything like that."
>Kogasa - "Wait, Cirno actually reads?! I'm the one who's supposed to be doing the surprising!"
>Team 9 - Nothing for it, let's sneak in through that secret passage into the Library that we caught Marisa using!
>Remilia - "As energetic as always...Then again, that's what I like about her. She always keeps us busy.">Meiling pipes up. "Well, she's a handful; that's for sure."
>Patchouli - "Indeed. One might go so far as to say that she's the true life of the Mansion."
>Sakuya - Scout out area for sleeping chibi Meilings. Upon finding sleeping chibi Meilings, stab sleeping chibi Meilings.
>Sakuya: Wait, shouldn't you get the chibi-selves to do that for you? The one you should be stabbing is the normal Meiling.>Meiling cowers. "Don't stab me!"
>Remilia- "I still wonder what Flandre is up to. Something about the fountain of youth? I'll never understand some of her ideas, but I'll humor her today.">Remilia scratches her head. "Still, most of this household is already ageless, and she told me it would be a surprise for me, not Sakuya. What does she have in mind?"
>Patchouli - "Indeed. I do wonder how it will turn out though."
>Cirno - "Oi! Lemme go ya liddle grots! 'fore I freezes ya!">"Try that," Sakuya threatens Cirno, "And I'll stab you so much you'll be feeling it when you respawn."
>Dai - Facepalm. Just...Facepalm. "I knew we should've gone in through the front door like normal people..."
>Wriggle - "....Welp. At least things can't get any worse."
>Mystia - "Well, at least we didn't get stabbed like the last time. Or punched. Or forced to play with the little blonde kid. Now that was a disaster."
>Kogasa - "I'm surprised! And I'm the one who's supposed to be doin' the surprisin' around here!"
>Rumia - "I'm hungry...And where'd everyone go? ...Oh well, I'll just poke around that big mansion again~!">Rumia is lonely. The best cure for loneliness is barging into some place and asking for tea. She proceeds to kick open the front doors of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and sit down in the Main Hall.
>Let's make for the mansion too!
>Rin - "Details details, I got you here at least.">Rin pouts. "You're no fun. What's wrong with a bit of excitement?"
>Satori - ...We really need to figure out how to read her better. "Just...Please don't do that on the way home."
>Okuu - "Hiiiii~!">Utsuho hugs Satori. A normal hug, not a tacklehug.
>Rush over and grab Satori in a big hug!
>Komachi - "Well, if there's gonna be tea, I can afford to relax here for at least a little while. All this messing-around with space makes it hard to get around, y'know?"
>Shikieiki - We should see why Komachi is taking so long. She's probably gotten stuck in one of those locations that meddles with space again.>Shikieiki leaves her post. If nobody's ferrying any dead spirits to her, there's nobody to judge.
>Flandre - "Yahoo! With this, I can put my plan into action! Chiri, you should read these!">Flandre dumps a pile of books onto Chiri, then flies off to join the rest of the group for tea.
>Heee...Won't be long now~!
>Chiri - "When the room stops spinning...Bloooourgh..."
-A Little While Later-
>...Okay, we've pulled ourselves together...Let's see...Oh, a fountain that makes you younger, and sometimes grants eternal youth. Well, these girls already have that, so....
>Beat.
>"Oh. Ohhhh....I think I get it now. You want me to make one that ages you up to adult instead, right? Well, I'm pretty sure I can do something like that, I do have to make up for all that trouble I caused you guys after all."
>It shouldn't be too hard to pull that off, we're the Youkai of Quantum Geography after all! A little thing like a fountain that turns you into an adult should be child's play!
>...Try not to laugh at our own joke.
>Dai - "Cirno's been talking weirdly lately.">Sakuya bows. "I'm glad you agree." The chibis escort them to the main hall.
>Cirno - "Gaaah...Stupid liddle..."
>Wriggle - "Well, it's a start at least. I say we take 'em up on it."
>Mystia - "I suppose that's the way it is~♪"
>Kogasa - "Yeah...I guess this'll have to be how it is. I'm not looking forward to getting stabbed today."
>Rumia - "Is that so?" Cirno always was a weird one~ "These little guys look just like that maid~! ...I wonder if there's one out there that looks like me?!">Kogasa groans. "If nothing else, there's a whole lotta chibi red-whites running around the place."
Okuu - "Hee-hee~">Utsuho gets watery eyes. "Orin, that huuurt!"
>Controlrodpalm, then look at Rin in a teasing way that implies we know something she doesn't. "Scaring miss Satori? naughty naughty~"
>Rin - Apply Dope Slap.bat to R_Utsuho.EXE "Shaddap willya? I got her here in one piece didn't I?"
>Satori - ...Not exactly... "...I'm fairly sure we left my lunch somewhere in there."
>Shikieiki - ...Yup, she's in there alright. lazing around with tea.>Shikieiki has entered the building!
>Komachi - "...Oh this is gonna suuuuck."
>Flandre - "Let's ask big sis! She'd know! Let's go!">Flandre drags Chiri across the library again before throwing her at Patchouli.
>Chiri - Oh no...Here we go again...! "Whoooa!"
>Remilia - "Hm? A large unnamed space where nobody is looking... There should be something like that a short distance from the mansion itself. Hardly anyone ever looks east here, so you should be able to do whatever it is you plan to do there.">Remilia teases Patchouli. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll find another place to grow your magical plants."
>Patchouli - "Hmm...Yes, that place should work perfectly. I was going to convert that place into a greenhouse, but so be it."
>Shikieiki - "Well, it has been a rather slow day, though I suppose that's no small fault of my subordinate." Stare (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMQKGMS_Df4) at Komachi.>Shikieiki scratches her head. "Messing with your ability? Unless something's changing the very geography of Gensokyo, that's not even possible."
>Komachi - "B-boss..I've been getting stuck in these places all day today...Something's gotta be messing around with my ability or something..."
>Rumia - "Teatime~ And snacks too~">Satori glares at Cirno. "How is it possible that your train of thought gets derailed from being derailed?"
>Cirno - "Mmphle~!" These are awesome! And we don't need to worry about choking since we'll just revive anyhow! Bein' a fairy rocks!
>...Are there even any rock fairies? They must be pretty noisy!
>Daiyousei - "Cirno, please don't talk with your mouth full..."
>Wriggle - "Oi, at least we aren't getting stabbed, so it's an aces day in my book."
>Mystia - "Sweets~♪"
>Kogasa - Why's everyone surprising people but us?! ...Eh? What're those three up to...?
>...Aha! We'll follow them and see what they're up to, then surprise 'em!
>Okuu - Let it all out. Adorably. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x219V1LN92w)>Utsuho proceeds to cry. It is rather adorable.
>Rin - Sigh...Some days you just can't catch a break, huh?
>Satori - "I heard that." Let's just enjoy the tea, and try to not get overwhelmed by the large group that's gathering. We'll have quite the migraine to nurse when we get back home.
>Chiri - Here we go again! "Nooot sooo faaaast!"
>Flandre - Whee! Let's get going! We'll drag big sis along too!
>Remilia - Urk! Us too?! Oh no...here we goooo...!
-A short While Later(Again)-
>Flandre _ "Heeeere we are~! First floor, men's apparel, wristwatches, and a biiiig surprise for big sis~!"
>Chiri - "Wooough....Please make the spinning stop..."
>Remilia - "Ooogh...Even I have to agree..."
-Another Short While Later(Yet Again)-
>Chiri - "Okay, can you guys look away or something? I can't pull this off with people looking."
>Let's get to work when they've turned away.
>Flandre - "Kaaay~!"
>Remilia - Well, we'll humor her. After all, if it's a gift for us, we need to accept it without hesitation!
>Flan&Remi - We'll just turn back around and look at the mansion instead. ..Damn, that's a pretty sweet mansion.
>Flandre: "Hey! You messed up my surprise!"
>Smack her. Gently. For us.
>Kogasa - "Pyaaa~! Looks like I'm blasting off again~!" *Twinkle-in-the-sky* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib084tzN8H0)At the summit of Youkai Mountain, Suwako finds a strange eggplant-colored umbrella. It looks like it needs to be repaired badly. She throws it off the mountain. It wasn't really her problem, anyway.
>Remilia - "I'll try and bring her around.">Chiri wakes up, and takes a minute to pull herself together. "All right! For real this time! Ladies and... ladies, please avert your eyes!"
>Let's see about bringing Chiri back around again.
>Chiri - Not fun... "Ngnn..."
>Komachi - Phew...We got lucky that time. Who knew there actually was someone like that though..?>Satori smiles at Komachi. "There wasn't, actually. Not 'til recently. Sakuya can tell you all about it."
>Shikieiki - "Well, since I'm here, I suppose I'll have some tea as well."
>Rumia - "I get the funniest feeling that someone just got sent flying~">Daiyousei scratches her head. "Is that so?"
>Wriggle - "Jolly good!"
>Mystia - "Greaaaaat."
>Cirno - "Wait...if rock fairies are noisy...Then why do rocks never make any sounds except when you drop them..?"
>Daiyousei - And to think, we're the only sane one...
>Satori - Sigh. "I wonder how I even got talked into coming here myself, little fairy.">Daiyousei grins. This youkai seems to be sane. And nice. That's another good thing.
>Okuu - "That was mean Rin-Rin!"
>Orin - Sigh.
>Sanae - Eh? What's with that beat-up umbrella that just landed near us...? Who'd throw out a perfectly good umbrella like that?>Through the power of miracles, Sanae repairs the broken little umbrella. Kogasa pops out. "My hero!"
>Nothing a little miracle can't fix!
>Kogasa - "...My hero."
>Daiyousei - "Well, at least it's better than some of the other stuff." And at least she's nice too.>Mystia starts laughing. "You gotta be stronger than that! You're a bird youkai! We're a proud, independent, and strong race! We don't let getting hit faze us!"
>Satori - Chuckle a bit. Maybe this wasn't such a bad thing after all. "..Could've done without Rin being such a wild driver though."
>Rin - "H-hey! I got you here in one piece didn't I?"
>Okuu - "Unyuu...Rin's a big meanie..."
>Rumia - "S'at so?">Rin turns to Rumia frantically. "No, no! I'm a normal person, not a meanie!"
>Cirno - "Ow...."
>...What were we thinking about again?
>Wriggle - "I say, a little bit of the old percussive maintenance, eh old chap?"
>Mystia - And sometimes we wonder if we're entirely sane for dealing with these guys. At least Dai's alright for a fairy.
>Dai: ...When did Wriggle become British?>Wriggle grins. "Do you like my British accent? I'm trying to be like one of those fancy people in the story books that the crested ibis youkai reads!"
>Komachi - "Well, that's news, eh?">"Aw, come on!" Komachi whines. "This time, I have an excuse! How about you lecture that quantum youkai if you run into her?"
>Shikieiki - "Indeed it is. We'll deal with your little problem later though."
>Remi&Flan - Turn away yet again!Quantum shenanigans are happening. Please wait warmly...
>Chiri - Okay, let's do our thing!
>Sakuya - "...I get the feeling that the mistress is going to be rather fired up when she returns.">Sakuya smiles. "Well, whatever she has planned, Flandre certainly was excited about it."
>Hong - "What makes you say that?"
>Patchouli - "That quantum geography youkai was helping the little sister out with an idea of hers. I'm rather interested in seeing how it turns out."
>Flandre - Let's grab big sis and dive in! We got just the age in mind!>Chiri scratches her head as Flandre and Remilia climb out of the fountain. "I meant drink from it, but I guess this works too. The outfit changing is a unexpected side effect, though."
>......Wow (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=877353). We (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=672612) look AWESOME!
>Remilia - "Wh-what...?"
>Whoa. We even sound older and more charismatic! "This...This is amazing...! I feel incredible! Is it a dream? No! I'm awake! I'm wide awake! Ahahahaa!"
>Back to the mansion! Full Speed Ahead! "Whoosh!"
>Chiri - Whoa, it actually worked for 'em. Wonder if it'll work on Fairies too?
>...A bit excitable though, isn't she? Well, Vampires will be Vampires.
>Flandre(Again) - "Hey! Wait up sis!"
>Whoa. We sound awesome too! So suave, alluring, and grown-up too! "This is great Chiri! You should give it a try too!"
>Let's head back with Chiri and find Wriggle, Cirno, Mystia, Rumia, and that other fairy, and drag them back to pitch them in too~!
>Wriggle - "..Eh? What's all this theeen~?!">Flandre immediately grabs all of Team 9 in her adult body, runs back to the fountain, and throws them all in.
>Dai - "Eek!"
>Mystia - "Buh-wha?!"
>Cirno - "Wha-"
>Rumia - "Is that sooooo~"
>Team 9 - *Ker-Splash!* Whoa (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=160618). Whoa (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=225425).
>Sakuya(Again) - ...Was that really...?>"Well, this is certainly unexpected," Sakuya deadpans.
>Remilia(Again!) - "Ahahaha! Look upon me and despair! For you shall never be as charismatic as I! Ahahahaha!"
>Everyone else at the mansion aside from Flan, Chiri, and Team 9 - Deadpan Stare.>Reimu sips her tea again. "I have to say, you were doing okay until you tripped."
>Remilia - ...Drat! We'll have to take to hovering until we can get the hang of this new body then. "Uuuu...">"Actually, your mind is the same. Any effects on your charisma are completely in your head," Chiri explains. She pulls out a pair of glasses just to put them on and adjust them in a way that just oozes with knowledge.
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~! I got pretty charismatic too~!"
>Wriggle - "Hey, was I really that ambiguous?!" Well, at least folks won't mistake us for a guy anymore.>Reimu shrugs. "Yeah, you sorta were. I never got a good look at you during the Imperishable Night."
>Mystia - "Oooh, I actually kinda like my improved voice~♫" This actually made us sound better! We'll become Gensokyo's top singer in no-time now!>Daiyousei sighs. "Cirno, you're a girl. Older girls have chests. Can't you just figure it out yourself for once?"
>Rumia - "Still hungry~!" ..Eh? When'd this happen? "Whoa, I sound awesome~!" Wonder what'd happen if our ribbon came off while we were like this..?
>Cirno - "Whoa, whoa. WHOA. Where'd these squishy things come from?!"
>Dai - "...Cirno, That's your chest. We've all got them."
>Chiri - ...Well, let's just go back and supervise things. This fountain shouldn't cause too much trouble, since it's both out of the way, and in a Vampire's territory. So you'd have to be stupid to try meddling with it.>Chiri decides to go back to the fountain. Maybe she'll magic up a instruction sign.
-Speaking of Stupid....->The Three Fairies of Light poke it, dip their hands in the water, and splash each other with the glowing water. Nothing happens, since they aren't thinking of looking older or younger than their current appearance,
>Sunny Milk - "...Hey, that weirdo left a perfectly good fountain!"
>Luna Child - "Wonder if the water's any good for coffee.."
>Star Sapphire - "I dunno, it's all glowy and stuff."
>3 Fairies - Investigate dat fountain!
>Shikieiki - ...Gensokyo is very strange today.>"Stranger than usual, at any rate," Satori smiles.
>Satori - "Agreed."
>Komachi - "I dunno what you're agreein' with, but I do too....Somehow."
>Okuu - WHOWHATWHEREWHENWHYHOW?! "You left..then poof, grownup! And now you're here, for me to see! How'd you do that?">Flandre grins. "Magic water, Utsuho! Chiri made it, and it's so cool!"
>Rin - .....Sometimes we wonder if we're the only remotely smart pet Satori has.
>Cirno - Come to think of it, the shirt is kinda tight. Wonder if we should loosen it up..?>Satori nods to Daiyousei. "Thanks. I appreciate the compliment."
>Satori - "No, save it for when you're at home."
>Dai - Wow, quick on the draw.
>Wriggle - "Eh, 'least now you guys won't mistake me for a guy now. Sheesh."
>Mystia - Scary...Even with our new look, she's still really scary...>Mystia realizes something. "Reimu, you're a shrine maiden, right? Are you allowed to drink?"
>Rumia - "Huh? Well, I dunno really~! All I know is that I can't touch it~!"
>3 Fairies - ...Uh oh (http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/504566).>Sunny perks up. "Hey, the Scarlet Devil Mansion has sake, right?"
>Chiri - ....You gotta be kidding me. Those idiots figured it out.
>Sunny - "H-hey! What just happened?!"
>Star - "...I...have no idea...?"
>Luna - "..." Man do we need a drink after these shenanigans.
(More danbo warnin'.)>Flandre grabs Satori's arm.
>Remilia - "Uuu...."
>Flandre - "Well, I still look neat, don't I~?"
>...Ooh! Maybe if...! "'Scuse me miss Satori, I'm taking you somewhere~!">Koishi - Hey, don't forget about us! We're joinin' in too because it sounds fun!
>Komeijis - ...Impressive (http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/635234). But how'd this slip past us?
>Shikieki - So much age-related chaos.>Flandre slams the doors open. "Tada! More magical adults!" Koishi waves from behind Flandre.
>...It wouldn't hurt to look more official...Would it? People have mistaken us for a placeholder in the past after all...
>Komachi - Heh, boss is thinkin' the same thing they are, huh? Even she isn't so above it all, huh?
>Okuu - "...Why is everyone going all...weird?">"Well, I guess magic is as good an explanation as any," Utsuho says to herself.
>Rin - "Magic, Okuu, Magic."
>Reimu: "She seems to want to make Alice younger. Huh.">Reimu scratches her head. "Well, I guess kid Alice was pretty cute. Still, I can never tell what Marisa is thinking."
>Beat.
>"Never pegged her as a pedophile."
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~! Party time~!">Sakuya appears with the sake. A purple mist starts spreading through the mansion.
>Remilia - "...Well, we may as well enjoy ourselves."
>Satori - "I have to admit though, that fountain could work wonders for one's looks.">"Oh?" Koishi giggles, "Do I detect some lewd subconscious thoughts, big sis?"
>Seriously, we're probably a match for that Deva from the City in looks now. Koishi looks like she could be as well.
>Sunny - "Hey, yeah. It was headed for the mansion too! Let's go!">The Three Fairies bust through the door. "Gimme all the sake I can drink!" Sunny demands.
>Star - "You got it! Party time!"
>Luna - We'll definitely need a drink if these two are just as excitable as they are normally.
>3 Fairies - Let's get to the mansion and join the fun!
Cirno - "Hey! Who're those three?! They kinda look like fairies!">Cirno recognizes the Three Fairies. "Oh yeah! We still gotta finish our war!"
>Dai - "Cirno, That's the Three Light Fairies, remember?"
>Rumia - "Well, I dunno if it's a seal or not~! I just wonder why I can't touch it~">Reimu takes a swig of sake. "Well if I made that seal, it would only be able to be removed by someone who's stronger than a Rumia without her seal. Just saying."
>Wriggle - We always have wondered about that ribbon, haven't we?
>Mystia - "Oh well~"
>Marisa - "Hi-yup!" *toss!*>Marisa laughs. "You look so cute, Alice! It's just like the old days! Now come on! We've got a party to get back to!"
>Alice - "What's the meaning of thi-" What?! (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=738583)
>"What?!" What the heck did she do to us?! Why's our voice like it was when we were- "...Bollocks."
>Chiri - "I wonder if she'll figure it out that the fountain ages people up too. That's how all this became a reality after all.">Chiri shrugs. "Well, in any case, that girl isn't going to be stuck like that forever. I'll tell her when all the excitement dies down, I guess."
>Shinki - "Yumeko. Lately I've been wondering how dear little Alice has been. Has she been eating right? Has she been keeping healthy? What if she's ended up in a relationship with someone abusive?! Or-! Or-!">Yumeko pats Shinki on the back comfortingly. "I'm sure Alice has become a strong, independent magician. Why don't we visit her?"
>Proceed to have a minor meltdown. mentally-speaking.
>Yumeko - Always like that this time of the year, just like clockwork. Then again, it is the anniversary of the day Alice left for Gensokyo.
>Perhaps it's time we take her there for a visit.
>Miko: "Why do I feel like someone completely forgot about us?">Kogasa pops out. "It's because you guys hang around your mausoleum all the time! Get out more! Be involved! Or just stay here and be uninvolved, I guess."
>Futo: "No idea."
>Shinki - "*Sniff* Yeah, let's find her!">Yumeko follows Shinki through the portal, and trails after her as she's running in the direction of Alice's magical signature.
>...Aha! We'd know that energy signature anywhere! That's Alice's alright!
>Let's get going!
>Yumeko - She means well, but she's a bit eccentric. We'll keep an eye on her all the same.
>Chiri - Let's mentally review how the fountain works exactly.>Chiri doesn't have to mentally review fountain mechanics because there's already a sign there!
>Flandre - "Let's have some fun! Since our bodies are more mature, we oughta be able to handle booze a lot easier!">Sakuya and her chibis are distributing the drinks. "Well, I suppose I can whip up some meat or cheese, if you guys want it."
>Cirno - "Enough talkin', let's get smashed!"
>Team 9+3 Fairies+Scarlets+Komeijis - "Yeah!"
>Dai - But we'll make sure to limit Cirno's intake, there's no telling what she could do in her current state.
>Rumia - "Meat! We need lotsa meat!"
>Wriggle - "Naw, drinkin's no good without sliced cheese, you guys know that!"
>Marisa - "Hehe, check it out guys! Just like the old days!">Reimu laughs. "Aw, man! That brings me back!"
>Alice - "Oooh...I don't know how I let you get me involved in- What."
>Why are they- But that's im- What.
>Okuu - "Magic. *snort-snort*"
>Rin - Apply dope_slap.bat to R_Utsuho.EXE....Again.
>Suika - Heeey....this gives us an idea! Let's mess with our own power a little...and...>Marisa laughs. She's drunk too. "Hah! It's funny, because everyone else has to use magical water to do stuff like that!"
>...Awright! Now that's (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=438554) more like it!
>"Ahahaha! *hic* It seemed so fun, I thought I'd join in the fun! Foregathering sure is a neat power, ain't it? *hic*"
>Chen - "Bleh, who'd put a fountain all the way out here? It's all glowy and stuff!">Chen doesn't even know how she got here. She was just chasing a Chibi Chen around Gensokyo. Those things are too fast!
>Well, we are kinda thirsty...It ain't milk, but it'll have to do in a pinch.
>...Be kinda nice if we could look like Ran-sama though....
>...Something feels funny. "...Nya (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=722723)?! Wha-wha-wha-what happened?! ...Eep!"
>Whoa....! This must be a wishing fountain!
>Yuyuko - "Youmu dear~ I think someone's having a party and didn't invite us~! You're coming with me to find it and that's an order~!">Yuyuko flies off through the gate to the Netherworld. Youmu follows her to make sure she doesn't get into trouble.
>Let's drag Youmu off in search of that party we didn't get invited to, and crash it! ...Elegantly and politely of course~
>Youmu - Sigh. Here we go again.
>Yukari - "Ran, Reimu's having fun with her friends, and didn't invite me!">Ran sighs. "Well then just go and join in, why don't you? You usually do that, anyway."
>...Oh, Ran has a point! Let's go for it then! We'll grab Yuyuko and Youmu too!
>Ran - "Well, you could just show up like you always do."
>Where could Chen be though...? That girl, always getting herself into one kind of trouble or another.
>Chen - Well, we should go to that mansion and find out what the heck is going on. It sounds like there's a Party there!>Chen smiles. Since she looks old enough, maybe she can drink sake with everyone else!
>Chiri - We may as well head back ourselves. if anything, it should be fine now that there's instructions.
>Yukari - Futz around a bit until we find Youmu's ghost-half, then crash the party with the usual gang!>Yukari already has
>"Heeey everyone~! I brought more guests~!"
>Yuyuko - "Oh my, seems everyone's quite different today~ And there's a new face among the crowd too~!"
>Let's glomp the new kid(Chiri)!>Youmu sighs. "The things I do as a bodyguard..." she mutters, as she climbs out of the giant sake dish.
>Youmu - "Lady Yuyuko..." It's tough being her bodyguard sometimes, but it's a family duty!
>Ran - ....Ch-chen?! How did- But it wasn't- Gah! Too early! "Fnzaah.">Ran is catatonic now. Yukari realizes this, and gets off of Chiri. "Hold on. I gotta deal with this."
>SHIKIGAMI.EXE Has stopped working, please restart program.
>Yoshika - "I doooon't knoooow~! Maaaaaybe yoooou let her in!">Miko claps, getting everyone's attention. "All right, if we're going somewhere, does anyone have a location in mind?"
>Seiga - ...Good help is just so hard to find these days...At least she's low-maintenance.
>Futo - "So, shall we depart for enjoyment and glory?!"
>Tojiko - "Enough with the act already, I'm gettin' bored."
>Miko - Sigh. With allies like these...
>Shinki - "Aaaaliiiice~! I'm here- Bu-wah?!">Yumeko examines Sakuya. "You seem like a competent maid. Want to trade notes?"
>She...She's still the same?! SHINKI.EXE has frozen, please Reboot.
>Yumeko - "My apologies for intruding....And for Lady Shinki's...Minor breakdown."
>Remilia - "Doesn't she look like a blonde version of Sakuya?"
>Flandre - "Yeah! She does!"
>Sakuya - "...I'm afraid I can't find the resemblance."
>Alice - ...Oh crap. Here we go again...>Alice pulls on Marisa's dress. "Can you help me, or something? I don't want to be tacklehugged!"
>Marisa - "Gehehe, been a while hasn't it?! Now if Mima and Yuuka were here, it'd be a total reunion!"
>Reimu - "And you're also completely drunk."
>Mima - "Who's saying I wasn't here~? I've always been around!">"Mima!" Marisa cheers. She tries to tacklehug her former mentor, but misses and latches onto Reimu instead.
>Heh, kid forgets we're a spirit.
>Yuuka - Sigh. Nobody ever comes to visit the garden. Are we really that scary? S'not our fault we're strong, and that we miiiiight like causing pain a bit more than the usual...but we're still relatively good!>Yuuka sighs. The mansion is so noisy, she can hear the sounds of partying from her garden. Well, I might as well see what all this commotion is about...
>"Nnng....Gah! I'll just visit that mansion where that Maid lives!"
>Mystia - "Heeeey-! Stopit-!" *flail*>"Get off, Rumia! We've been over this already!" Mystia yells.
>Rumia - "'at-sho~?" (Translation: Is that so~?)
>B'duh? When'd more people get here?
>Wriggle - "Geh, c'mon Rumia! There's other stuff you can eat!">Right on cue, a Chibi Sakuya wheels a serving table full of meats nearby. Rumia latches onto the food instead.
>Ugh..Finally. At least she's off now.
>Cirno - "I'm still da strongest y'know! I just didn't wanna get into it, otherwise we woulda pulled mysty's head off!"
>Dai - Sigh. Good thing we're the only person who hasn't had too much. Reimu seems like she's pretty sober though.
>Satori - So much chaos, both physical and mental. We'll have to pick up some headache medicine before going back down.>Well, it would be convenient if those people at Eientei just came here, Satori thinks in the back of her mind. According to everyone else, they make some effective medicine...
>Rin - "Pretty rowdy party huh? Nothing like what goes on back in the underground though."
>Okuu - "*sniff* Y-yeah..."
>Perk up! "Remember that time I got drunk?"
>Koishi - "Oh yeah! That was the time you almost blew up Yuugi's favorite tavern~!"
>Suika - "Nyahahahahaha~! Good times eh? Got plenty o' fightin' in that day too~!"
>Byakuren: "I'm getting the strangest feeling that we're the only ones not doing anything right now.">Ichirin lounges around on Unzan. "Of course. Even that umbrella headed out somewhere a while ago, talking about chibis or something."
>Byakuren - "I suppose we may as well.">Kyouko waves. "Guys, where are you going? Can I come too?"
>Nazrin - "Leave it to me! I can hear right where it is!"
>Let's get going with the crew!
>Yuuka - Arrive!
>"Why'd nobody invite me?!"
>Beat.
>"...And why are some of you adults? And why is Shinki here? And whats the story with Alice looking as she used to? And Mima, you old rabble-rouser you, why didn't you tell me there was going to be a party!"
>Remilia - ...Oh crap.
>Flandre - "Yay! It's the flower lady with the huge laser!
>Miko - "Hmm...Yes, perhaps that is a good idea. let us be off!">Everyone at the mausoleum heads off to the Hakurei shrine, where the group finds absolutely nobody.
>Let's take the group to the Shrine!
>Chiri - Eep. Why's everyone beating us up...>Chiri cowers. "Please don't hurt me, Miss Mima."
>Mima - "Ahahaha! So this is the little imp who was causing all that chaos and mayhem?"
>Give 'er a good stiff pat on the back, nice and hard. "You got guts kid! Causin' trouble like that when Reimu and my own little student are on the job! I like that!"
>Yuyuko - "Doesn't she~? Quite admirable~"
>Shinki "Aaaaaliiiice~!" *GLOMP!*>Alice waves at Reimu and Marisa. "Guys, help!"
>Alice - "B'duh!"
>Marisa - "Hehahaha! This is golden! S'parties like this that really make you feel good, eh Reimu?">Marisa makes another attempt to latch on to Reimu, but Reimu pushes her away.
>Reimu - "Yes, yes. Now please move away some, I can smell your breath from all the way over here."
>Chen - "Wow, sure is lively, isn't it?">Cirno considers Daiyousei's words carefully. "So, that should mean I should be louder, right?"
>Wriggle - "Yup, then again, that's how parties in Gensokyo generally end up."
>Mystia - "Hauuu...We were over it already before....You don't go chomping on people's heads Rumiaaa..."
>Rumia - "Yay! Meat, glorious meat! Heeheeha!"
>Cirno - "Oi! Why's nobody listenin'?!"
>Dai - "They're filtering you out because you're being too loud."
>Satori - Sigh.>Satori groans. "Utsuho, go get Rin back here."
>Koishi - Facepalm. Well, that was both unexpected, and expected. Lovely little paradox that.
>Okuu - "Unyu? Well, I am pretty strong!"
>Suika - Heh, kid's got a good arm on 'er. Then again, she probably hangs out with Yuugi a lot. ...Where is the old battle-maniac anyhow? She's missin' all the fun!
>Sakuya - "You are one too, no? Well, I suppose we can.">"Say, Yumeko," Sakuya asks, "Do you know any tips on managing gate guards?"
>Yumeko - "But of course."
>Maids - Compare notes, and share anecdotes while enjoying the party atmosphere.
>Yuuka - Well, at least she didn't cause too much trouble~>Chiri is still cowering. "Don't hurt me either, miss giant laser shooter. I want to keep all of my limbs."
>And besides, she looks like she's already been through enough as it is without us~
>Chiri - Oooog...bad day.>Chiri thinks about things. She has had less than 24 hours of existence, and she's already been beaten up, pelted by danmaku, and shot at with various devices. Not fun.
>Youmu - Blegh...She actually left us alone for a moment...Whoa...spinny~ "*hic* Myooooon~">Yukari has a mischievous grin. "Say, Yuyuko, now you aren't being supervised!"
>*Ka-Thunk!* "...Why's the floor feel so nice...?"
>Yuyuko - Oh dear~
>Yukari - "Never did have a very good tolerance, did she?"
>Hmm...perhaps we should 'invite' a few other people from a few other worlds we've visited...But who? Perhaps that world that's fighting those things called 'Angels' would work...>Reimu stares. "What are you muttering about, Yukari? All that about angels and fighting?"
>Yes, it would be rather interesting to see how 'he' will react to a wrench like this being thrown into his plans~!
>Ran - "How did this happen, Chen?">Ran scratches her head. "Well, considering what's been happening recently, that's not out of the question..."
>Chen - "Oh, I was thirsty, so I took a drink from this fountain I found. And then I felt a little weird, and I ended up looking like this, nya!"
>Wriggle - "Just about all of us got tossed in though."
>Mystia - "Hauuu....Yeah..."
>Cirno - "This is just more proof dat I'm da strongest!"
>Dai - Apply DOPE_SLAP.bat to CIRNO.EXE
>Rumia - "Awwww~! But I like meat! And with this big body, I gotta eat more to keep going!"
>Sakuya - Sigh. Youkai.>Sakuya is steadfast. "No, Rumia. You are a youkai. You don't even need to eat most of the time."
>Yumeko - No matter what world you're in, there's always people like this.
>Alice - "You can blame Marisa and her shenanigans for this. She threw me into this strange fountain, and I ended up reverting to this shape.">Alice is being hugged too tightly. "Aww, I'm usually a grown up, mom!"
>Shinki - Awwwww! She's so cute when she talks all mature like that~!
> Quick, someone get a picture of Alice and Shinki.>On Youkai Mountain, Aya senses that her photography skills are needed! She grabs her camera and flies off towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion!
>Tenshi: Wait a minute. Pretty much everybody in Gensokyo is partying at that mansion and NOBODY INVITED US?>Tenshi notices the party, and surfs off on her keystone. Iku sighs and follows her. That girl can never stay out of trouble...
>Time to crash a party! Ride the biggest keystone we have right into the middle of it!
>Nazrin&Friends - More party members!>The Myouren Temple group troops off to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. They walk past a keystone that is on top of three dazed youkai.
>Let's make for the party! Sounds like it's coming from that Mansion near the lake.
>Miko - "Strange...Did you not say there would be someone here? Perhaps she's away. Or, since it is late, she is asleep.">Tojiko is upset. "Why can't I dope slap anyone? Just because I'm a ghost? That's a stupid reason!"
>Yoshika - "Maaaaybe!"
>Tojiko - Apply DOPE_SLAP.bat to- Oh yeah. Stupid ghostiness... "*grumble*"
>Futo - "....I want to burn something."
>Seiga - Apply DOPE_SLAP.bat to FUTO.EXE
>Remilia - "..Well, this has certainly gotten rather noisy, hasn't it Flan?">Sakuya appears besides the vampires. "Mistress, I advise you to end the party soon."
>Flandre - "Heehee~! I like parties like this~! They're so fun~!"
>Flandre - "Whee! Fireworks! Flan wants to join in too! QED - Ripples of 495 Years!">Flandre's spellcard activates, and one by one other declare spellcards too.
>Remilia - "Gwah?!"
>Chiri - "Buuuuh?! Again?! Oy, with the Danmaku already!" Bad Day! Bad Day! Bad Day!
>Sakuya - Sigh. So much for that.
>Yuyuko - "Oh my, such lovely fireworks, I almost want to join in as well~">Satori shrugs. "Well, whatever suits your fancy."
>Yukari - "Hm? Oh, just thinking about something, but it might not have been such a good idea, given how things have developed currently. I doubt they would be able to handle Danmaku so easily." (It was Neon Genesis Evangelion.)
>Alice - "Um, there's Damnaku going on.">Alice scratches her head. "Do you even have a spellcard?"
>Shinki - ....Oh! "Ah, right. I suppose I should join in the festivities as well then! As they say, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'!"
>Yumeko - ...So much for keeping her out of things. Sigh.
>Nitori "Bwahahaha! Now that was rich!">Nitori realizes that she's not hidden anymore. "Well, not that it matters much, anyway..."
>"...Geh! My Optical Camouflage!"
>Iku - "Eldest Daughter, I think you landed on something.">Tenshi picks up her keystone and surfs towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Of course, by this point the danmaku is thick enough to start penetrating the walls, so Tenshi ends up getting hit by stray shots, if danmaku that is dodged can really be considered "stray shots."
>Tenshi - "So? This ain't the mansion, so I'm tryin' again dammit!"
>Let's lift off with the stone again, and try and redo the whole thing!
>Kogasa - "Ooog...Now I know what an ant feels like when you step on it...">Aya recovers first. "Well, it was nice knowin' you guys, but I've got an event to photograph!"
>Orin - "Duuuh...birdies go tweet-tweet..."
>Aya - "Tweet-tweet!"
>Hina - What was that blur..? Oh well, it can't be anything too bad.>Hina sighs. "Does that person know how long it takes to stockpile that much bad luck? I'd better recollect it before it injures too many people..."
>...What happened to the bad luck we were stocking up on?
>Tojiko - Proceed to get irritated enough to cause some lightning in some random location.>Tojiko is irritated. "Why aren't you guys listening to me?" she yells, summoning a lightning bolt from the sky.
>Futo - "Ooh, I do wonder what that struck this time!"
>Yoshika - "I doooon't knoooow."
>Seiga - "Well, we could check it out I suppose."
>Miko - "Hmm...Yes, shall we be off then?"
>Tao Brigade - Off to where the lightning struck!
>Myouren Crew - ...Lightning out of nowhere. We know who's behind that!>They laugh. Nazrin notices that the lightning struck near the same place that the celestial's keystone landed, but decides not to comment on it.
>Shou - "Looks like that ghost who's a part of that group of Taoists got mad again. Good thing we didn't get hit by that."
>Murasa - "I'll say. Last time I got hit by that, I was combing the frizz outta my hair for weeks!"
>Ichirin - "I suppose that's one good thing about being a ghost, you can survive things like that. Though most Youkai in general can as well."
>Unzan - Nod wordlessly, because words are not necessary for one as masculine as we! We're pink goddammit!
>Byakuren - "Hopefully they will not be looking for a battle."
>Nazrin - "Hey, we're almost to the party! Look sharp guys, looks like there's Danmaku goin' on too!"
>Flandre - "Whee! This is fun! Danmaku everywhere~!">"Flandre, don't get too excited. The last thing we need is more sections of the Scarlet Devil Mansion to repair," Sakuya calls out to Flandre, who's flying around the room with glee.
>Remilia - Sigh. We're so going to have to do some serious repairs after all this.
>Sakuya - This is sure to put us back quite a bit...
>Shinki - "Oh, that reminds me Alice, but who is everyone else here? I recognize those two green-haired people, and that witch, but...Oh! Is that really Reimu? Did she dye her hair? I remember it being Purple.">"Well," Alice considers, "you could always stay the night and I can introduce you to everyone when we don't have to dodge danmaku flying from all directions."
>Alice - "...I have no idea if she did or not."
>Yumeko - Perhaps we should sit back and just supervise. Sakuya seems to have her hands full with just these people. The addition of Lady Shinki would be a disaster.
>Satori - "Well, this is a fine mess, isn't it?">"Heh," Satori chuckles. "That's probably the safest thing to do right now."
>Yuyuko - "But a beautiful show~"
>Yukari - "Indeed it is. I think I might simply watch the fun from here~"
>Reimu - Fat lot of help she is. Well, good thing we can just slip away from reality for a bit to catch our breath. Too bad for Marisa though, she's the one who started this all though, so she gets to reap the 'rewards'.>Mima shakes her head. "Marisa, are you really so drunk that one shot can knock you out?"
>Marisa - *PI-CHUN! CRASH!* "Hi floor! Make me a sammich!"
>Mima - So much for that.
>Yuuka - What a pity, she's so drunk it took a single shot to knock her to the ground~
>Chiri - Why does this always happen to us?! We should've just stayed out of sight like we first thought and not messed with things, we wouldn't have gotten wrapped up in this until we were all ready if we had just done that...>Chiri has found a sturdy table to hide under. "Well, I'll be safe under this table until someone starts using earth-based danmaku."
>Seiga - "Well, this is a strange occurrence, isn't it?">The Taoists stare at the fried crow tengu.
>Tojiko - "Woo-hoo! I got a Tengu with that one!"
>Futo - "Impressive shot Tojiko!"
>Yoshika - "...I'm huuuungry."
>Miko - "You always are, Yoshika."
>Orin - Who're these weirdos?>"Hey, umbrella girl," Rin whispers. "You seem to know those people. Who are they?"
>Kogasa - ...Oh no. Not her! We always time out against her! Run away!
>Byakuren - So energetic, maybe a little too much so~>"Well, I guess we better join in, right Nazrin?" Byakure has a sweet smile on her face as she skips into the battle zone. "Light Magic 'Magic Milky Way'!"
>Nazrin - Sigh. We're the only sane one out of this group, aren't we? Well, except for Unzan, he's pretty level-headed for a cloud.
>Orin - "That's new, you intend to hit your friend there?">Tojiko scratches her head again. "No, you see, that was sorta aimed at you. Here, let me try it again..."
>Futo - "Bzzzt."
>Seiga - "Hmm....Sometimes I wonder."
>Yoshika - "Uuuuuhhhh?"
>Miko - Facepalm. Just....Facepalm.
>Flandre - "Whee~! Wahahaha~! Danmaku for everyone~!">Sakuya stops time and surrounds Tenshi with knives. She's a celestial. I'm sure she can handle it.
>Sakuya - ....So much for her being behaved. Then again, she was probably wanting to 'cut loose', given her new and improved body.
>Let's timestop quickly and set some knives to going for that bothersome Celestial. The usual way, naturally.
>Remilia - Sigh. This is going to take weeks to repair...
>Chiri - "Ooohgh...Staaaaaars....">Sakuya appears next to Tenshi. "Now, I hope you're not purposely trying to wreck the mansion," she whispers ominously.
>Tenshi - "Ha-HA! How's that Keystone taste?"
>"...Eh? Where'd these knives come fro- GWARGH! Oi, with the sharp things already!"
>Hina - Well, let's go get that Bad Luck, whoever's being plagued by it must be suffering quite a lot.>Hina dusts herself off. "Well Nitori, I have some bad luck to gather. Which person should I go after first, that grey-haired woman or the one inside the mansion?"
>Alice - Sigh. She never changes.>Yumeko stares at Sakuya's intimidation tactics. "Well," she mutters. "she's certainly efficient."
>Shinki - "Awww, come on Aaaaliiiice~"
>Yumeko - Perhaps we should intervene for once. That girl with the peach hat could destroy the entire mansion if we aren't careful.
>...Well, that's one way to resolve things. We should meddle with space to prevent anymore of those earthquakes, just to be on the safe side.
>Yukari - "Oh my, it seems we have more guests~! And ah, look who it is! The Buddhists~!">Unzan punches through a wall, and the Buddhists appear on the scene. Sakuya groans. "Right after I prevent one person from tearing down the mansion, another one appears..."
>Yuyuko - "Oh my~"
>Reimu - Sigh. What a pain...
>Satori - "For being a supposedly peace-loving group, they certainly don't hesitate to join in the danmaku."
>Flandre - "Whee!">Watching from the safe zone, Satori turns to Yukari. "Should we stop Flandre before she drops the entire mansion down on our heads?"
>Hey, we'll go and grab an extra wing crystal we have lying around in our room after this one times out! This is gonna be great!
>Remilia - "Oogh...This is really going to cut into the funds..."
>Pause.
>"...Even if Patchy can just make more with her alchemy."
>Cirno - Ow. Ow. Ow. *Pi-chun! THUNK!*>Daiyousei drags the unconscious Cirno behind a table for safety. "You should spend some time to recover," she advises Cirno.
>"D-dammit...I'm still...da strongest."
>Dai - Sigh. "Okay Cirno, whatever you say."
>Let's just...drag her somewhere safer.
>Mystia - "Hauuuuu.....Too much danmaku!">Mystia dives towards Daiyousei's improvised safe spot, but doesn't get there in time.
>Hey, Dai's got the right idea! We'll go with her!
>Wriggle - "Ha-ha! This is a blast!"
>...Uh-Oh. *Spark'd*
>Rumia - "Whoaaa...! That was AWESOME!"
>Sakuya - Well, she clearly doesn't know how we work, do we? Let's pin her to the wall, and maybe leave a few knives in her as well.>Tenshi is breathing heavily. "You think you can stop me with just a few knives?" she gasps.
>"Next time, think before you act."
>Tenshi - "Gwaaaargh!"
>Chiri - "Yeah...i'm just gonna..hide. Over heeeere-?!">Chiri is creeping away towards another table when Yukari pulls her through a gap into the safe zone. "I expect a favor for this, by the way," Yukari points out.
>Yukari - She's had enough punishment for the day, let's pull her into the safezone~!
>Yuyuko - "Welcome to the safezone, little one~"
>Satori - "Well, as safe as a place can be when you're surrounded by some of Gensokyo's Most Infamous."
>Reimu - "On the bright side, Marisa's not in here."
>Komachi - "Yeah, that'd be a disaster. Hope you guys don't mind me and the boss relaxin' in here for a bit."
>Lyrica - "Hey hey hey! A party like this needs a rockin' tune! Hit it!">Reimu jumps. "When did you get in here?" she yells over the loud music the sisters are playing.
>Prismrivers - Cue awesome music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clKokS_itzw)!
>Lunasa - Such a pain, but we'll get through it alright.
>Merlin - Let's have a blast!
>Seiga - "Awww...They got away.">Tojiko scratches her head again. "No, wait. I did it all right. Maybe it'll work now!"
>Yoshika - "Aaaaawwwwww...."
>Futo - "Fzzt. Bzzz."
>Tojiko - Why the hell's our lightning not working?!
>Miko - Sigh. With friends like these...
>Flandre - "Whee~!">Flandre makes a beeline towards her room to grab a spare wing crystal.
>...Awww...no more time left in the card...Let's beeline for our room so we can pick up a spare Wing Crystal!
>Remilia - What's she up to...?>Remila sighs. "Flandre, you don't have to crash through walls to get to your room," she calls after her sister.
>Sakuya - Let's put a few more knives in that Celestial, just to be sure.>Tenshi laughs again. "Go ahead, do your worst! I'm already recovering!"
Meiling - Wince - "Oooh, that's gotta hurt!" Lucky it ain't us!
>Chiri - "Eh, it's no different from any of the other powers when you think about it.">Patchouli stops to consider this. "I guess it's no weirder than Reimu's ability to float. What would be the exact words of your ability? Something like 'manipulating unobserved areas'?"
>Patchouli - "True."
>Yukari - "Well, seems things are starting to wind down, wouldn't you say?"
>Satori - "It would seem so, there's fewer and fewer chaotic thoughts. Likely due to the crossfire."
>Reimu - "I feel sorry for Sakuya, she's gonna have quite the cleanup to do."
>Hina - Let's make for the mansion! "And remember, spinning drives away bad luck~! Spiiiin~!">Hina finally arrives at the warzone, leaving Nitori and a zapped Aya behind. "My, there's just misfortune everywhere! I better get started on collecting it right away~!"
>Wriggle - "B'duh. Lousy lasers.">Utsuho tacklehugs Rin. "Hi, Orin!"
>Mystia - "Agreed."
>Kogasa - "Oh hi guys!"
>Rin - Ah well, let's get back in, and to a safe spot.
>Okuu - "...Oh! There she is! Found Rin!" After her!
>Hina - "Oh, just doing my job, gathering Misfortune~ Spiiin~! Spinning's a good way to disperse your misfortune y'know~!">"Oh," Kogasa says. "Thanks for that! I don't like being unlucky!"
>Let's get to work~!
>Flandre - ...Aha! Here it is, that really neat one we never really felt fit with the rest! That weird crystal that fell from the sky! We were gonna try finding another one eventually, but maybe Chiri can help make more!>Flandre grins to herself, but then realizes she could've tried something else with the shiny rock. Maybe if she replaced a wing crystal with one, then she'd get cat ears! It's worth a shot!
>Let's head back up to the others!
>Remilia - Sigh. So much repairwork to do...Eh? Why'd she get that weird crystal? Well, she can't make things any worse than they already are...Can she?
>Sakuya - "Well, now that that's been settled, Let's get prepared to begin cleaning up. Mini-Maid Squad, form up!">The final spellcards are either broken or timed out, and the guests start to leave.
>Meiling - Wow...They're so obedient! ...Wait, why's some of the little versions of us mixed in?
>...Guess this means we'd look good in a maid outfit too? ...Nah, ain't our style!
>Mima - "Man, what a wild party, eh Yuuka? Kinda makes you miss the old days, eh?">Mima laughs. "I'm surprised that everyone seems to be using spellcards. Who's enforcing them?"
>Yuuka - Sigh nostalgically. "Indeed...But, just watching the younger generation have their fun just as we did is enjoyable too."
>Chiri - "Technically though, I mess around with the 'Quantum Geography'. To put it simply, you don't really know what's on the other side of a hill, it could be a village, a cave, or even a treasure chest. I mess around with that, and make whatever I want from that unknown space. It's how I made that Fountain that alters ages. I guess it's perception-based?">As Chiri explains how her powers work, Yukari removes the safe zone.
>Patchouli - "Interesting..."
>Reimu - ...Wonder if she can make food too?
>Satori - "She might be able to, Reimu."
>Yukari - "Ahaha! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnH9Gbw4ybk) She must be thinking about food again~"
>Yuyuko - Join in the laughter! It's contagious after all~!
>Ran - Phew...Looks like things finally cooled off...>Ran glares at Yukari. "You could've helped me out, you know."
>Chen - Wow....That was AWESOME!
>Okuu - "Unyu? What happened here? It looks like an Oni party happened.">Flandre laughs. "No, but you're not that far off from the truth!"
>Flandre - "A GENSOKYO PARTY happened~! Danmaku everywhere~!" Fling around a little danmaku to emphasize things!>Utsuho nods wisely. "Ah. Danmaku. That makes sense."
>Wait, since Chiri probably made those rocks... "Liiiiightbulb! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2_lJ2bGltE)"
>"Chiri! Can you make more of those shiny green rocks that made the chibi me into a catgirl version?"
>Remilia - "B'duh!" Nice aim Flan, pegging your own sister in the forehead.>Satori sidles up to Chiri. "Say, would your powers work for house repair?"
>Oh now what's she thinking? When she says that, it means she's got another zany scheme in mind. The last time she had one of those, we almost had to rebuild the mansion from the foundations up.
>...Then again, now's a good excuse to rebuild again. Perhaps we can 'persuade' that little Youkai, Chiri, to rebuild for us? Perhaps a nice little castle overlooking a cliff over the lake, like in that one game about vampires and that clan of hunters. What were they called again, Brumonds? Belmons? Oh yes, that's what it was. Belmonts! "Liiiiightbulb. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2_lJ2bGltE)"
>Sakuya - Well, easy to see where Flan picked it up from.>Huh. Saying "lightbulb" is a fun way to show you have an idea, Sakuya realizes. I could see why Remilia started doing that.
>Hina - "Well, I've got to get to work now~!">Kogasa stares ath the spinning curse goddess. "She's weird. Why's she headed towards that new youkai?"
>Twirly-twirl-twirl~ Gathering Misfortune~!
>Sakuya - Let's pass off the other rocks to Flan then. They're taking up room in the TSMS anyhow.>Flandre swaps a green crystal with a shiny green stone. Strangely enough, it takes on the appearance of a wing-crystal.
>Flandre - "Woo-hoo!" Let's try swapping the green one with one of the green wing-crystals!
>Hina - "You've got quite a lot of misfortune, don't you?" Time to get to work!>Hina starts spinning, and soon a visible stream of misfortune can be seen flowing from Chiri to Hina.
>Chiri - "Today's been a pretty bad one, yeah. Not very fun when it's your first day actually being a thing."
>Satori - Oh, that's the curse goddess, isn't it? So this is how she removes misfortune. We'll keep a safe distance, seeing as how today's already been bad enough.
>Remilia - Oh, but wait, apparently it doesn't work on named locations...>Patchouli raises an eyebrow. "Well? Would you like to share whatever plans you have in your mind?"
>"Liiiightbulb. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2_lJ2bGltE)" We'll just have her make it near the lake! Genius!
>Flandre - "Yahoo!" Wiggle them cat ears!>Chiri grins. "You bet I can!" She runs off to the fountain to work her magic. Hina follows to help measure misfortune levels.
>"Chiri, can you make another one? I wanna have the tail too~!"
>Chiri - ....Excitable one, isn't she? "Well, it'll help me figure out how much misfortune I rack up by using my power. Let's make a little outcropping of those stones near the fountain.
>Remilia - Aha! "While you're at it, I have an idea. Since this old place has been destroyed and rebuilt rather often, I've been thinking about upgrading to something a bit more...Resilient. Specifically, a castle. It should be child's play for you to alter the terrain around the lake to my specifications, no? Given earlier events and the like. That cavern appearing out of nowhere was quite odd, and I've deduced you were behind that.">"Shush, you," Remilia glares at Reimu.
>Patchouli - "Ahhh...Yes, that would be considerably more resilient."
>Reimu - "Of course she was behind it Remi, a little late to the party aren't you?"
>Rinnosuke - Those blocks seem a mite too ominous...Perhaps this is the one time where we should consult someone else on an item.>Rinnosuke sighs. Well, they were gapped in by Yukari. She probably knows what they are.
>Flandre - "So where'd you put that thingy of stones?">Satori nudges Hina. "I sure hope you don't mind this youkai regularly visiting you."
>Let's dash off for where it is once she tells us, then get another of those stones so we can replace the other green one! Fashionable Asymmetry's only good for clothes after all!
>Chiri - "Near the fountain. It might take some effort for you guys to move everything to that new castle though."
>But still, enough misfortune for 350 people to have a bad day...We'll have to be a bit more careful with our power....Or visit Hina regularly to have it siphoned off. Either one.
>Remilia - Let's take a look at that new castle then.>Remilia drags Chiri out to the new castle, and gives it a thorough look over.
>Patchouli - Well, seems we'll have to devise another translocation spell. Seeing as we'll be moving all of the Library.
>Ah, speaking of which, we should go check up on it. Koa must be in a tizzy with all of the little Koas around.
>Yukari - Smile enigmatically. "Ask Hina~">Rinnosuke sighs. "Why can't you just give me a straight answer for once?"
>Flandre - "Nyahahaha~ I got a tail now~">Flandre runs off to see the new castle and her sister, with two shiny green rocks in hand.
>Fistpalm! "I got it!"
>Let's grab two more, then go find big sis!
>Remilia - "Yes...I think you should fix it. I have little problem with traps themselves, but it gets to be a bit much when even the occupants themselves are at risk of falling into them.">Remilia pinches herself again. Yup. Flandre still has cat ears and a tail.
>...EEEEH?! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tiu5fJMI4UE) Wh-why's she got..?! Oh this has got to be a dream.
>....Ow. Not a dream.
>Chiri - Sigh....This is gonna really rack up the misfortune....>"Well, I guess if I have to fix it... are you absolutely sure you don't want any deathtraps in it?" Chiri looks hopeful.
>....EEEEH?! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tiu5fJMI4UE)
>She's one crazy kid...Having us use our power for weird things like that...Well, we did say we'd make it up to them...
>Hina - "I plan to find alternative uses myself, perhaps we can work together on that? Currently they're only good for drawing away misfortune, like bait. I wish to find other uses.">"Well, I'm sure one of the shrine maidens can exorcise the misfortune. What would that leave?" Rinnosuke muses. "I'll admit, a chunk of bad luck is an interesting product. It could be of use in making other weapons, but for that I need to know if it's like a metal..."
>Flandre - "Hmmm...." Maybe if we stick 'em to her wings like an accessory...?
>Oh, Chiri's gonna mess around with that stuff again? Guess that means we gotta look away again.
>Remilia - Just what is she up to..? Well, we'll find out after Chiri's finished. We gotta turn away for that to happen though.
>Chiri - Alright, they've turned away, so let's get to work!
>Hina - Are they akin to blocks of metal?>Hina thinks about it. "Well there's nothing against that concept. I should be able to make metal out of them..."
>Flandre - Maybe if we put them in her somehow..?>Chiri glances at Flandre. "Whatever you're thinking of, it's probably not going to work. Just saying."
>Chiri - Ooogh, this is definitely gonna rack up the misfortune...
>Remilia - Hmm...Those green crystals on her wings are different come to think of it. And she's holding two more. But why?
>Chiri: "Well, I should get back to Hina."> Unbeknownst to Chiri, it's already too late.
>Get moving, and quickly.
>Hina - "I think that should be doable, though it might take more effort than normal.">They continues conversing like this until Hina realizes something. "Chiri probably should have been back by now. I should go check up on her to see if she's gathered any more misfortune. After all, if we want this to happen, we're going to need a lot of misfortune."
>Rinnosuke - Hmm...Interesting....We'll have to do quite a lot of thinking on this.
>Hina: Find Chiri.>"And up we go..." Hina helps Chiri up. "It's a shame you already used that bit of it. Combos always use up a lot of bad luck. Funny thing is, misfortune never clings to that girl. It's almost a miracle..."
>"Oh, dear. It seems I'm a bit late."
>Let's gather up the misfortune.
>Sanae - "Buuuh...What happen?">Sanae gets up, strangely unharmed, and picks up the washtub. "Well, I got the washtub! Back to the shrine! Huh. I wonder who I crashed into..."
>Flandre - "Oh, this? I decided to mix things up and change around my Wing Crystals! When I used some of those shiny green rocks to replace the green ones, I turned out like this~! Nyahahaha~">Realization dawns on Remilia. "Well, we can figure something out later. We gotta make sure our old house isn't being wrecked again."
>Remilia - ....What. Wait, if she's got two more....She's planning on making us the same way.
>...I-it's not like we want to be cute or anything..! Idiot...
>Mima - "Oi! I'm not some low-grade mook spirit y'know! An S-Rank Magician Spirit like me is way outta your league kiddo! Some half-baked cat who can't help but go full-speed is way too weak!">Yuuka proceeds to blast a hole in the mansion with a Master Spark and stroll out. Mima follows her and sticks her tongue out at Rin.
>Yuuka - There she goes again, just as feisty as she was in the old days.
>"Hey, Mima. Let's go grab some drinks somewhere else, eh?"
>Greenhaired Duo - Let's blow this Popsicle Stand! Next stop, Garden of The Sun! There's bound to be some more booze there after all!
>Rumia - "Waha~ That was a fun party~!">Wriggle laughs. "We even look like grown-ups now! Being pelted by danmaku was totally worth it!"
>Team 9 - "Yeah~!"
>Remilia - "I-idiot!">Reimu smiles. "Minus 30 charisma points. Tsunderes aren't charismatic."
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~ Big Sis is always like this when she really does want something you wouldn't expect her to~"
>Beat.
>"Yahoo!"
>Sakuya - Didn't we have other items like that green rock, come to think of it?>Sakuya digs through her TSMS, finally throwing out the stale, half-eaten cookies. She pulls out three more shiny stones: one yellow, one red, and one white.
>Dai - "Somehow, I doubt it was worth that.">Wriggle coughs up some smoke. "Well, Cirno's gone. I wonder if she's still going to respawn as an adult."
>Mystia - "You said it."
>Rumia - "Is that so?"
>Chiri: "Yeah. Also: ow.">"You're a youkai," Reimu says. "You're going to be fine."
>Remilia - Lousy rotten...So what if we act like this?!>Remilia, now rather miffed, turns to Flandre. "You sound like you've got something else planned. What is it?"
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~"
>Kogasa - "....So what now?">Mystia jumps. "How do you keep appearing out of nowhere?"
>Team 9 - Let's go find Cirno then!>"Wait," Kogasa interjects, "how do we find Cirno?"
>Flandre - Grin. "Nope~ I just think it's pretty funny when you act like this~">Satori sighs. "I would say that you're doing it on purpose now, but your thoughts say otherwise."
>Remilia - "I-it's not like I act like this because I want to or anything!"
>Reimu - "Yup, definitely Tsundere.">Reimu laughs. "You? With a boy? You don't even know anyone from the human village, besides Keine, Kosuzu, and Akyuu!"
>Marisa - "Ah, but don't boys really like that in the Outside World? Maybe I shoulda tried that back when I was younger."
>Sakuya: Timestop and get our knives back from Tenshi before Iku gets too far away.>Iku sighs. "You really are a glutton for punishment..."
>Reimu - Apply DOPE_SLAP.bat to KIRISAME.EXE "I-idiot! I just keep to myself to keep things simple!">Marisa shrugs. "Well, the only connection I can think of off the top of the head is the affiliation with red. Scarlet Devil, Red-white, that sorta thing."
>Marisa - Heh, looks like Remi ain't the only Tsundere...
>Satori - "Indeed."
>Remilia - "I-idiot! That's my line!"
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~ Reimu and Big Sis are a lot alike~!"
>Team 9+Kogasa - Let's go!>The group of
>Hina&Rinnosuke - Let's head back and figure out something to do with that Misfortune!>Rinnosuke leads Hina to his shop, and enters the back room.
>Reimu - Lousy old gap-youkai.... "*grumble*">Reimu blushes, and Yukari gaps next to her. "Oho? Is that an actual blush I see~?"
>Marisa - Heh, looks like even without that charm, she still acts a bit like it. Then again, if our magic's anything to go by, you have to be a little like that to get it right. After all, we're pretty damn messed in the head, so we're aces at star magic thanks to that!
>"Heheh. Somehow, I don't think that was all the charm there."
>Satori - "I'm inclined to believe so as well."
>Remilia - "I-idiots! It's not like I want you to pay attention to me or anything! Uuu~!">Sakuya appears next to Remilia. "You know that I am your faithful maid, at your service."
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~ I'm always here, big sis~"
>Daiyousei - Well, let's get closer then! We'll be able to tell then.>Daiyousei smiles. Yup. It's the original Cirno, back to being a kid. She calls out into the fog. "Hey guys! I found Cirno!"
>Hina - "Yes, we should be able to! ...Just don't touch them carelessly, alright?">Rinnosuke nods. "I suppose gloves would work," He mumbles to himself as he puts on a pair of outside world disposable gloves.
>Rinnosuke - She has a point. We'll have to see if we can use gloves or something. Maybe tongs would work.
>Remilia - "....You guys...">Patchouli notices her assistant panicking and mutters a little magic spell to create the effect of a calming pat on the back. "Ssh. Just let it happen and everything will be fine."
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~!"
>Sakuya&Patchouli - Sigh.
>Koa - E-eeeeh?! What do?!
>Marisa&Satori - "Yup, definitely a bit Tsundere.">Reimu blushes again. On the other side of the room, Youmu is finally waking up.
>Marisa - "Freaky."
>Satori - "For once, I didn't have to read your mind for that one."
>Dai - Sigh slightly, in an amused way. "Well, she's back to normal alright.">Daiyousei organizes a piggyback chain between Team 9. Even though one of them is enough to carry the little ice fairy, they switch off every once in a while to make sure their backs don't freeze off.
>Team 9 - Let's get chief back on dry land, carefully. Between the rest of us and our grown-up bodies, Kogasa excluded, it oughta be a piece of cake!
>...Mmmm...Cake...No! We gotta keep focused!
>Hina - "Hmm...What about a pair of daggers? There should be enough misfortune for that I think.">Rinnosuke smiles. "Well, if that's what you want, then one pair of daggers, coming right up!"
>"I hear you are the strongest here, let's fight!">Cirno jumps up and gets into a battle stance. "You bet! I'm the strongest there is!"
>Gilgamesh -AppearWarp in out of nowhere and challenge Team 9 to a battle.
>Shanghai - "We're here too Marisa!">"Oh, and if you're wondering," Hourai speaks up, "Alice is still being held 'hostage' by Shinki."
>Hourai - "...As much 'here' as two dolls can be..."
>Marisa - Heh...those two eh? Too bad she couldn't show up herself, but there's sense in just sending the dolls. This place was practically a warzone not too long ago.
>Hina - Shrug. "Well, I hear that Forging imparts some of the maker's intent into it, so maybe we shouldn't skip that. Misfortune's a powerful and dangerous thing after all.">"Well, if you say so... I'll get started on that sword. Maybe I should get to work on making another mini-hakkero..." Rinnosuke grabs a couple more blocks of misfortune and heads back to his forge.
>"....Let's try making a sword now! To go with the daggers."
>Marisa - "Still? Man, Shinki sure does like her. I'm almost jealous.">Satori sighs. "Parsee, when did you get here? For that matter, how?"
>Parsee - "You're jealous? I'm jealous of those dolls! And how you're all getting hugs! And-And-And-!"
>....Lousy...I-it's not like we want to be loved too or anything...Idiots...
>Shanghai - "She kinda reminds me of you, Hourai."
>Hourai - "H-hey! I don't talk like that! I-idiot..."
>Satori - Sigh amusedly. That's four now. And Parsee's the biggest of 'em all.
>Gilgamesh - "Enough! Now we fight like men! And girls! And girls who dress like men! ...And men who dress like girls. But that doesn't matter! For Gilgamesh, it is battle time!">Wriggle considers what Gilgamesh says. "I do not dress like a guy! Why does everyone think that because of my pants and cape?"
>Cue Music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CMTXyExkeI).
>Cirno - "Oh yeah?! Let's see how you like it when I freeze your foot to your face!"
>Team 9(Aside from Cirno) - Sigh. We know how this is gonna end, and it won't be pretty for either of them.
>Gilgamesh - Run forward whilst twirling your swords like propellers, you think these flimsy bullets are gonna stop you?>"Take this! Ultimate spinning sword technique!" Gilgamesh yells, spinning his swords to make a makeshift shield.
>Wriggle - "So, are we going to do something about this?"
>Gilgamesh - Remember, if you're ever starting to lose, you still have your trump card: Feign Defeat > Shell+Protect+Haste > Jump.>Gilgamesh executes his brilliant strategy...
>It worked against Bartz, so it'll work against her!..maybe.
>Team 9(Minus Cirno) - Watch the fun.>"Hah. Pay up, Daiyousei," Kogasa remarks, munching on a bag of popcorn.
>Popcorn Fairy - Provide snacks for the show. "Snacks are important for something like this!"
>Remilia - "Okay, I think that's enough hugs for one day.">Meiling finally lets go of the rest of the Scarlet Devil Mansion crew. Koakuma is relieved, and Sakuya goes back to cleaning up.
>Hong - Awww...Well, it was fun!
>Flandre - "Aww."
>Sakuya&Patchouli - Finally...
>Koa - ...What now?
>Koa - Be mischievous.>That's when Koakuma remembers she's Patchouli's familiar, and starts casting a magic spell that'll trap Meiling in a hug for revenge.
>Flandre - Be accidental.
>Hina - Ooh! This should be interesting! We'll let him make that hakkero afterwards, just to be nice.>Rinnosuke finishes work on the sword, then hands it off to Hina before getting back to work on another mini-hakkero. "These things are so fun to make, sometimes!"
>Gilgamesh - "...Uh-oh."
Gilgamesh - Dodge and retort with "Well so is using bullets! What're you gonna do about it!?">Cirno's giant ice block shatters, sending ice shards everywhere. Some end up hitting Gilgamesh.
>Koa - "*cough-cough* Wh-what..?">Patchouli pats Koakuma on the back. "Soon, maybe you'll be actually able to cast spells!" she teases.
>Patchouli - Smirk a bit. That familiar of ours can be such a card sometimes.
>Reimu - "Although, if you could remove the laser bit, and keep the heater functionality, that could be something worth a pretty coin. I know I'd probably want to have one n hand for when winter rolls around.">Rinnosuke scratches his head. "Oh yeah. I forgot about the heater part. Huh. The only problem is that the mini-hakkero's too small to actually heat something. I mean, I've seen Marisa use it as a makeshift stovetop, but it doesn't really work as a room heater."
>Hina - "Oh, so it was originally a Heater? I suppose it runs on magic, as most things do."
>Beat.
>"That's it! A heater that is fueled by misfortune! It's genius!"
>Rinnosuke - She might be on to something....Both of them.
Hina - "If a mini-Hakkero can do that sort of stuff, what can a regular one do? Erase buildings?">"That? Oh no, you don't even need a regular hakkero for that," Rinnosuke smiles. "Marisa likes testing hers out on slow days, so I usually have some makeshift buildings prepared. I suspect that a regular hakkero controlled by Marisa would be able to level Youkai Mountain, and we don't want that to happen, do we?"
>Gilgamesh - "I'm the strongest swordsman there is! I'm always focused! Even in expository banter!">Gilgamesh checks his inventory. Yup, he just threw out his Excalipoor. Wait.
>Toss out your Excalipoor (out of all your collected swords) to be frozen instead of you.
>That WAS the excalipoor, right? And not the Excalibur you've been hoarding forever that she could use to beat you?
>Dai - "...He's a lot like Cirno, isn't he?">"Actually," Mystia says thoughtfully, "I'm sure Cirno would have noticed that Kogasa stole the sword. So there's that."
>Wriggle - "Eeyup."
>Mystia - "Mm-hmm."
>Rinnosuke - "Don't you see what this means for people? With a Micro-Hakkero, they won't have to worry about freezing while they're doing work in the winter! Just have a few Micro-Hakkeros secreted away on your person at key locations, and watch as even the chill of winter fails to stop you!">"Hold on," Reimu interrupts, "are you sure that the misfortune won't cause something terrible to happen? And I thought that you wouldn't be able to use them as heaters due to the size!"
>Reimu - Wow, he's really fired-up about this idea.
>Hina - "My, that does sound fortunate."
>Remilia - "Well, I suppose now we should begin moving things from here to our new home, no?">"Hush," Patchouli interrupts Meiling's complaints. "You're not going to be left behind."
>Sakuya - "I'll get the staff on duty immediately." Let's round up all the chibis and fairies on staff, and begin preparations!
>Patchouli - "I shall return to the library then and begin my own preparations. Koa, I'll leave placing the marker to you."
>Koa - "Right!" Let's make for the new home and go find a good spot to put the library!
>Hong - "...Eh? We're moving?" Why are we always the last to find out?!
>Flandre - "Yup~! We got Chiri to make us a totally new home since this one got busted up a lot~!">Chiri sneezes from behind her hiding spot. "Oh no, did they hear me?"
>...Where'd she go again anyhow?
>Flandre - "You never made those toys after all~!">"Yeah, I guess I can handle that..." Chiri trails off. Where's Hina when you need her?
>Beat.
>"Oh yeah, can you put another of those age-changing fountains in the castle too? It might be neat to have! I'll try and get big sis to hold off on naming it until after you've put that in."
>Chiri - ...Oh. Thought she'd forgotten about those.
>Well, serves us right for forgetting!>Chiri sighs. Well, I guess I deserve it.
>Remilia - "Yes...This will be a perfect replacement for this beat-up old mansion.">Remilia smiles with sinister glee, and then notices Flandre throwing Chiri at the castle.
>Koa - Gotta find a spot to put the marker so Boss can magi-warp the library there!>Koakuma flies into the new castle, then gets lost after a few turns.
>Team 9(Minus Cirno) - Stubborn, aren't they? Nice show though.>By this point in time, Cirno has died twice, but Gilgamesh isn't looking too good either.
>Rinnosuke - Let's get crackin' on those Micro-hakkeros!>"Alright! Let's get this started!" Rinnosuke announces. He runs into the back room to start work on the micro-hakkeros.
>Reimu - Sigh. When he gets started on something, there's just no stopping him is there?
>Hina - "My, so spirited~"
>Remilia - "Well, I suppose you are telling the truth.">Flandre frowns. "Why do you need to recover so much? You're a youkai!"
>It's perfect!
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~ It's a pretty nice place, huh big sis? Chiri was gonna put one last thing in before we fully moved in though. Weren't you Chiri~?"
>Chiri - "Buuuh...lemme recover...."
>Koa - "*grumble* Lousy place needing map segments..."
>Let's consult the map! We'll find the room most likely to have another map segment, and then keep going until we've got a full map!
>Once we've got the full map, we'll find the biggest room that isn't the Main Hall, and set the marker!
>LaserTurtle - New Tagline: Now with a new level of user input.Hey, I can't go around changing taglines like crazy! It's gotta have consistency! Only every new page.
>Line for next post: We're gonna need alot more than this.
>Gilgamesh - That's it, it's morphin' time! Unveil extra arms.>Mystia's jaw drops. "How is that even possible?"
>"Yes I can!"
>Propeller-swords, derp.
>Flandre - "I bet she's lost~! I'm gonna spend a loooooooong time exploring this one~!">Patchouli attempts a mapping spell. "Wait, this spell needs the name of this place. What do we call this castle?"
>Remilia - "*ahem* Y-yes, I plan to search it as well. It wouldn't do for me to get lost in my own castle after all."
>Patchouli - We should have a mapping spell, shouldn't we? Let's see about beating Koa to the punch then, hm?
>Chiri - "Bleurgh." Well, it could be worse. We could be stuck with people who are crazier.>Koishi kneels next to Chiri. "Yeah. From what I remember, that mountain shrine is full of wackos."
>Koa - "*grumble*" Well, let's look at the map, and see any exits to a new 'zone'. We'll head for the closest one and try that.>Koakuma enters another door, one that is marked on the edge of the map.
>Gilgamesh - "Oh yeah? Well I have attacks too!">The missile explodes on Cirno, who regenerates behind Gilgamesh again.
>Secret Gilgamesh Art: Missile! (http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/f/f0/Gilgamesh_Missile.jpeg)
>Kogasa - "Wat."
>Wriggle - Y'know, you could use a drink right about now.
>Popcorn Fairy - "Y-yes." Refill time!>Wriggle stares at the cup the fairy gave to her. "I meant drink as in something alcoholic. Not soda."
>Koa -Sigh. Time to find our way out and warn them about the traps and such then. After all, we'll be LIVING HERE. We'll find that spot for the library once it's all completely resolved.>Koakuma points at the castle. "She's still in there. You'll have to find her first."
>"We have a problem. There's still traps."
>Patchouli - Hmm...Ah, there she is. ...Oh, that's not good.
>Remilia - ...That little... "Well, it seems we'll have to specify for all of them to be removed then. Perhaps if she doesn't, she'll get to 'play' with Flan."
>Flandre - "Yay~!"
>Patchouli - "Well, we'll just have to go in and get her then, won't we?">Chiri opens a window. "You'll have to reach me first!" she yells before slamming it shut and disappearing inside the mansion again.
>Remilia - "Ah, Patchy, you'll need to use 'that' spell if she refuses. You know, the one that mutes the sound in the area and replaces it with Air (http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=HkY1_TpucLA&feature=endscreen)? I daresay we should at least make it somewhat pleasant to watch."
>Koa - Shudder. We know what THAT means.
>Flandre - "Nice Boat~"
>Patchy/Remi/Koa - .....Kid's pretty sharp, isn't she?
>Remilia - "Well, we can easily cut straight to her. Between Flan and I, that's a simple task. We'll just have her rework it afterwards.">Remilia and Flandre kick down one of the many doors in the castle, and are greeted with the sight of spiders. Giant spiders crawling all over the walls, in fact.
>Flandre - "Yay~! Playtime~!"
>Remi&Flan - Let's get to work breaking straight to the little troublemaker.
>Patchouli - It's a hassle, but we may as well lend our considerable magical and alchemical ability. Nothing says cutting to the heart of the matter like alchemically reconfiguring doors straight to the destination.
>Gilgamesh - Best bet now against something 'immortal' is to immobilize her.>Nearby, Marisa is fiddling with a micro-hakkero. "Well, these things shoot lasers too. I wanna see how big of a laser it shoots!"
>Slam Cirno to the ground and pin her down with your multitude of swords, make sure to avoid hitting her 'hitbox'.
>Proclaim victory.
>Cirno - "I won't lose that easy! I'm da strongest!">"Whoops," Marisa remarks dully as a fairy-sized laser shoots out of the micro-hakkero. "Well, that answers that question."
>Team 9(Minus Cirno) - "Whoa.">Cirno turns to Daiyousei. "Watch out for what?" she asks.
>Daiyousei - "Hey! Watch out!"
>Mystia - "Dai, you're being the 'Annoying Guide Fairy' again."
>Wriggle - "Heh, she can't help it Mysty, it's in her nature to be like that when Cirno's in deep."
>Kogasa - "That's true~!"
>Flandre - "Whee~! I'm having fun~! 93~! 94~!">With the power of teamwork and extremely overpowered abilities, the Scarlet Devil Mansion crew works its way through the corridor.
>Let's keep at it! Hell, let's slam a few into the ground if any get close enough to grab safely!
>Remilia - "As energetic as always, Flan! But I won't lose!"
>We can't lose to her in a contest of how many targets have been eliminated! We're the older sister after all!
>Meiling - "Uh...Even I'm not crazy enough to get into the mix when those two get like that. But that snake's something I'll handle, just leave it to me! I bet there's enough to make jerky out of it for at least a year!"
>Let's go and drag that giant snake out to a more open place!
>Koa - "...Everyone else really is something else, huh?"
>Sakuya - "Well, I suppose I'll content myself with the stragglers then. Have fun with the snake, China."
>We'll just pick off any that Remi and Flan miss. After all, even giant spiders are no match for a good knife.
>Patchouli - "Well then, I'll keep working on my side of things."
>Remilia: "Please do.">Chiri breathes a sigh of relief.
>Flandre - "I still kinda wanna play though...Ooh! How about cards?">Meiling pulls out a Mahjong table. "All right! Let's start!"
>Meiling - "No, it has to be Mahjong! It's a game with almost as much history as China!"
>Koa - Shrug. "I guess that works."
>Sakuya - "Snake Jerky.....Snake Jerky....Eeeeugh.......">Remilia raises an eyebrow. "Why? Jerky is jerky, isn't it?" she pulls a piece of jerky out and starts snacking.
>[ERROR. IZAYOI.EXE HAS STOPPED, PLEASE REBOOT]
>Patchouli - "Remi, I think Sakuya's gone into a funk about Jerky..."
>Poking time~! After all, it isn't every day the 'perfect maid' BSOD's.
>Cirno: Start dancing.>Thankfully for everyone else involved, Reimu hits Cirno with a yin-yang orb hard enough to knock the little ice fairy into the lake.
>"Victory dance! Come on!"
>Mystia/Wriggle: "Shut up, Cirno!"
>Chiri: ...>Chiri stares at the spectacle. Well, at least they're too wrapped up in it to drag me into it.
>...There's something wrong with these people.
>Meiling. - "No, but would you be the one to tell them it's not?">Patchouli turns to Koakuma, who is about to say something to the Scarlets. "I don't have to tell them if she does," she points out to Meiling.
>Patchouli - "Good point. I'm certain it would be bad for my health."
>Koa - "Um..I don't think that's how you play mahjong....">Remilia turns to Koakuma. "Really? But this way's more fun!" She grabs another tile, and throws it at Koakuma, who is too startled to dodge.
How the hell did this turn into Calvinball?Life in Gensokyo is just one giant game of Calvinball. Quantum geography just makes it worse.
>Chiri: Get behind Patchouli's magic shield.>Patchouli scoots over to make room. "At the very least, they seem to be having fun."
>Patchouli - "Well, at least they know how to provide a good show.">Chiri sighs, and starts attempting to spin counterclockwise and upside down.
>Koa - "Bweeeh..."
>Cirno: Fly out of the lake.
>"Hey! That was me- wait, where'd she go?"
>Dai - "She left, Cirno.">Three familiar fairies fly up to the group. Since they're back to normal, someone must have killed them. They are arguing with each other, as usual.
>Wriggle - "Yeah, said something about going to get some rest."
>Mystia - "I don't think even those other three fairies would be that crazy as to bug her now~"
>Oh yeah, where'd they go anyhow?
>Star - "Yep. Hurt too.">Sunny whirls around to face Daiyousei. "Are you doubting us?"
>Luna - "I think I'm still feeling it..."
>Sunny - "Quit whinin' you guys! We totally would've made it!"
>Dai - Sweatdrop. "W-well.."
>Mystia - "It was fun to watch though~">"Um..." the popcorn fairy speaks up. "If I leave now, you won't send anything after me?" she asks, mainly directed at Wriggle.
>Wriggle - "Yeah, haven't had a show like that in a while."
>Popcorn Fairy - At least we didn't get stung any...Bees hurt!
>Patchouli - Sigh. "...Calvinball.">Chiri finally does the three counterclockwise spins successfully, and falls back down onto the ground.
>Chiri - "You said it!"
>Remilia&Flandre - "Oh!">Sakuya freezes up again, then glares at Meiling. "Not funny."
>Remi - "Good, good!"
>Flandre - "Ya-hooo!"
>Meiling - Grin lopsidedly. "Hey Sakuya, Snake jerky."
>Kyouko - Echoes! "Ya-hooo!">Kyouko frowns. "You guys went without me!"
>Nazrin - ...Excitable one, isn't she?
>Koa - "I....I'll just...Go find a place to set the marker.">Koakuma examines the map, then marks a spot that's large enough to house all of the books, living, zombie, or otherwise.
>Let's use the map parts to find the perfect place for the marker, then go there and set it!
>Patchouli - "Well, I shall withdraw to the Old Library so that I can work on the transfer from that end."
>Let's head back to the Old Library and finish preparations!
>Meiling - Grin again. "Hey, it isn't every day someone like you goes into a funk like that after all. Just my little way of getting back at you for all those knives.">"What? You're such a sound sleeper that it's usually the only way to wake you up!"
>Koa - Let's head there and set the Marker then!>Koakuma relays the go-ahead via chibi communication, because it's cuter.
>Then use the Familiar Contract to let Patchy know! "Chief, the marker's in place, it's all you now!"
>Then we'll get the heck outta there. Don't wanna get displaced into...wherever it is displaced stuff goes.
>Patchy - We'll wait for Koa to evacuate that chamber, then begin the transfer!
>...And we'd best set a forced warp-out in case anyone else blunders in beforehand. We have to be polite after all.
>Flandre - "Ahahaha~! It's perfect!">Remilia is amazed. "Wow. You actually did it."
>Let's grab the teddybear and go take a look in our new room!
>Remi - We may as well take a look as well.
>Remilia: "I suppose I can forgive you this time. Just be sure you didn't leave any deathtraps in by mistake.">Chiri nods. "Yes, yes. Forgiveness is wonderful. I should really go now, nothing personal, but all you crazy people with cheating powers are starting to scare me."
>CHiri: "I got 'em all. Pleasedon'thurtme."
>Remilia: "As I said, I will forgive you ths time."
>Flandre: Hey, that was neat!>The truck turns into a miniature sports car.
>Do it again!
>And again!>The sports car turns into a 1:10 scale model of a steam engine.
>And again!>The steam engine transforms to a wind-up rubber duck.
>Flandre - "Eeeh-heeheeheeheehee~! This is fun~!">The duck transforms into a toy boat. It is a rather nice boat.
>Again!
>And Again!>The boat transforms into a toy tank. Flandre only recognizes it from the books in the library, though.
>And Again!>The tank becomes a stuffed snake.
>And Again!>The snake turns into a toy pig. It has wings for some reason.
>And Again!>The pig turns into a Cirno plushie. Come to think of it, Flandre realizes that this was the ninth time that she kyuu-ed the toy.
>And Again!>The plushie turns into a model of Meiling. Huh?
>And Again!>The Meiling figure changes into a miniature mecha kit. Unassembled, of course.
>And Again!>The kit turns into a cardboard box full of gears and clockwork. So many possibilities!
>And Again!>The box turns into a pocketwatch.
>Remilia - ....She's more interested in the 'box' than the toy. Typical little girl~>Remilia picks up a teddy bear and breaks it. It turns into a taxidermy model of a grizzly bear.
>...Well, it couldn't hurt to give it a try just this once, could it?
>Sakuya - "....I'm going to have t clean up after those two, aren't I?">Sakuya sighs. "Well, at least there won't be any toy parts to clean up," she says to herself.
>Well, it just shows that things are going back to normal.
>"Oh yes! I thought of a name for this place! Castle Scarlet! It's nice, simple, suitably impressive. And, and! It rolls off the tongue! So it's settled, Castle Scarlet is this location's new name!">Sakuya nods. "That sounds magnificent, Remilia."
>We did have to get that done before Chiri messed around any further after all, can't give her a chance to replace the traps after all.
Patchouli - "Well, now that that's settled, I suppose we should resume the research we were performing before everything went insane.">Sakuya raises an eyebrow. "What magic requires you to get drunk?"
>Koa - "Right! I'll get the wines!"
>Patchy&Koa - Drunk Magi-Science is go!
>FLandre - Ooh! let's find some other toy to Kyuu until it becomes that model kit from before!>Flandre grins, then starts kyuu-ing the next toy she gets her hands on - a rock with a face on it.
>Remilia - Well, it makes no sense, but at least she's happy. And that's what matters.
>Sakuya - We'd best check out our pocketwatch just to be sure.
>Chibi-Koa #153 - Stare as Big-Us and Boss Patchy do crazy stuff with Magic.>"Don't just stand there!" Koakuma commands the chibis. "If we're going to alchemise impossibility, we're going to need a lot more magic circles than just this one!"
>Flandre - "Ahahahahahahahaha~!" Such fun!>Flandre is kyuu-ing the toy so fast that it barely has time to settle into a new form before Flandre wrecks it again.
>Remilia - Sweatdrop. She's enjoying it a bit TOO much though.
>Chiri - "Oooog...Bad Day....">Chiri climbs out from under the piano, which disappears moments later in a puff of neon yellow smoke. I'm glad youkai can heal injuries easily. Still, this hurts.
>Chiri - Well, she was with that one guy. So maybe if we find him, we find her!>Chiri surveys the land, then checks her map dress. Nope. She has no way of finding that guy.
>...The only problem is finding him.
>Remilia - Sweatdrop.>Flandre throws aside the solid block of cookie dough and grabs a toy teapot to kyuu. It turns into a carton of milk.
>Flandre - "Oh. Time to find another toy!"
>Let's find another one! And this time, let's go a bit easier on it. Pausing to see what it turns into each time, and goofing around with the toy if it becomes something fun.
>Flandre - Waaaait....Is Quantum Cookie Dough even safe to eat? Better not, even we're not that crazy~>With a few kyuus, the block of cookie dough becomes a magical grimoire.
>So let's just Kyuu it a few times too!
>Remilia - Sweatdrop again. She certainly is enjoying herself....
>Chiri - "*grumble* Just my luck...">Chiri is entangled in the branches with little hope of getting out.
>Hina: "I'm sensing a great deal of misfortune.">Hina frowns. She can't go towards misfortune like that! Trailing misfortune is always too much trouble for its worth. It's easier to just go towards catastrophic events that only happen because of extreme misfortune...
>Go towards it.
>Flandre - "Ahahaha~! Such lovely fireworks!">Flandre is kyuu-ing toys left and right. And forwards and backwards, too.
>Remilia - Sweatdrop. Been watching too much of that show that has the 'Freezer' fellow in it, hasn't she?
>Chiri: "Ow."
>Hina: Get to her.
>"I thought that would be you."
>Chiri: "Let me make a new dress before you take the misfortune."
>Hina: "Sure."
>Turn around.
>Chiri: Make the new dress. And if we go with another map dress, make sure we can find Hina using it.
>Hina - "Oh dear. Quite a lot of misfortune.">Hina stares. "What the heck happened to you?"
>Chiri - "Staaaaaars..."
>Hina - "Well, I suppose I should drop this off to be re-purposed.">Hina flies to Kourindou, and Chiri follows her. When they arrive, Chiri wonders why there's a gaping hole in a wall.
>Let's make for Kourindou to drop off the Misfortune for future use!
>Chiri - "H-hey! I'm coming too!"
>Let's tag along!
>Flandre - This is a blast! let's keep at it!>Remilia smiles. Flandre seems to be better already, playing with toys that don't break.
>Remilia - She certainly has quite a lot of energy.
>Flandre: Pick one and kyuu it nine times to get another Cirno toy.>Flandre wonders if kyuu-ing something nine times will always result in a Cirno toy.
>Chiri - She looks kinda gullible, maaaaaybe we can mess with her a bit.>The youkai stares cluelessly. "Huh?"
>Smirk a bit. "Oh, he's in the backroom, 'working hard with a co-worker'." Wink in a 'know what I mean?' kinda way.
>Remilia - "Ah, of course. Flan! Breakfast!">Flandre charges out the door, with the strangely cute battle cry of "Breakfast~!"
>Flandre - "E-eh?! So soon already?!"
>...Well, we are kinda hungry. Adventuring and partying and playing makes a girl hungry after all~!
>Flan&Remi - "Breakfast time~!"
>Let's get to the dining area!
> Cirno - Demand royalties.>"I just beat that weird guy thing!" Cirno declares to her friends. "I need a reward."
> Flandre - discover new plot.>Flandre is completely lost within Castle Scarlet. Seriously, that place is ridiculously huge especially without deathtraps punctuating the endless number of hallways.
Let's go for it! BGM Chaaaaange! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjIWo7O3ZUw)Well, if you really want to... Let's wrap things up here, first.
>Chiri - Man was she easy to fool. We'll have to remember her for later.>The bird youkai turns to Chiri. "Huh? It's Tokiko. Anyway, thanks for telling me the shopkeeper would be occupied!"
>"So, what's your name anyways?"
>Flandre - "Wooooow...this place is pretty big! I bet only Chiri and Koa know the map of this place~!">Sakuya can't find her way through the castle either. It'll take a while for anyone to find her.
>Let's fly off down a randomly-chosen corridor! Exploration Ho!
>Chiri - Shrug. "Some bird named Tokiko. You just missed her. I've had enough trouble for one day y'know.">Rinnosuke sighs. "Well, I guess I won't be seeing those books anymore."
>Flandre - Wonder who this 'Pandora' is? Why would she just leave a box like this lying around here? Maybe big sis knows something about it! Let's find her!>Flandre frowns. Chiri never said anything about a time limit on the age magics.
>...Hey! We're teeny again! ....Oh hey, another of those fountains! Just like we told her to make!
>Aaaand....We're big again~! Much better~!
>Chiri - "Good idea, I'll consult my dress to find a nice place.">Chiri examines her dress. "Ah, here's a good spot," she murmurs, then flies off.
>Let's consult the dress to find a suitable location to put our place! Then go there and see how best to tweak it out to our liking!
>Flandre - Let's find Big Sis, then we'll see about popping open it to see what's inside!>Remilia frantically dives into the nearby fountain to go back to being a charismatic adult.
>Remilia - "Blast!"
>Flan said something about having Chiri put more of those fountains in here, so we'll put breakfast on pause to locate the nearest one.
>There's one! Surprising that it was in the corner of the Dining Hall though...There we go.
>Sakuya - ...Aha, she's there, so....We'll take this path to get there faster.
>....She's in an area right next to the Dining Hall. She either has amazing luck, or a horrible enough sense of direction to be in the right place at the right time.
>Chiri: Wait.>With Hina's assistance, Chiri creates the best dang quantum house ever. Still, Chiri decides to keep it unnamed, in case she needs to repair it quickly.
>Go back to Hina.
>"Hina, can you come with me while I make my house? I don't want to get struck by lightning while a rock falls on my head or anything."
>Hina: "Sure, if it's fairly quick."
>Go with Chiri.
>Remilia - "...It's...A box. Well, boxes were made to be opened.">"But it said on the note not to open it!" Flandre mumbles.
>Open it already!
>Flan/Sakuya/Remi - "Whoa."
