Reimu Quest - A Paradise At Heart

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's stick them in slowly at first, just one at a time.
>Then, dump the whole thing in!

>You slowly add in the ice-cubes one at a time.

>After Tenshi has squirmed quite a satisfactory amount, you tip the rest of the ice-cubes in.
>You can hear Tenshi shrieking. It's surprising nobody has actually heard and come to ask what's wrong.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's have a good laugh!
>Then look to the others. "You guys got any ideas for more pranks?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's have a good laugh!
>Then look to the others. "You guys got any ideas for more pranks?"

>You laugh. A lot. Everybody else does, too. Even Alice can't resist having a chuckle or two.

>Nobody comes forward with an idea. Not one person.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Nobody has any ideas? Really?"
>Sigh. "Well, there's always the old pie-to-the-face, that's always a classic."
>Beat.
>"Banana-Cream, or Peach?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Nobody has any ideas? Really?"
>Sigh. "Well, there's always the old pie-to-the-face, that's always a classic."
>Beat.
>"Banana-Cream, or Peach?"

>Suika grins, "Peach. It'll be ironic. Besides, peach often dries the skin out more than bananas or cream. It'll be funny to see that."

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "That's exactly what I was thinking."
>Beat.
>"Cold, or fresh-from-the-oven?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Grin. "That's exactly what I was thinking."
>Beat.
>"Cold, or fresh-from-the-oven?"

>Yukari grins, "Cold. Ice cold, for the perfect shock factor!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Shrug. "Even though she's already got icecubes in her undergarments? Because I was thinking that a hot one would make for a nice contrast with the icecubes."
>Pause, then grin deviously.
>"I just had an idea to make this even better, and get two birds with one stone."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Shrug. "Even though she's already got icecubes in her undergarments? Because I was thinking that a hot one would make for a nice contrast with the icecubes."
>Pause, then grin deviously.
>"I just had an idea to make this even better, and get two birds with one stone."

>Yukari nods, "Ah, yes, true... but what is this idea~?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Simple really. You pilfer one of Sanae's spare outfits, then I change into it, and then you make me look and sound like Sanae, and then we can get all these pranks pinned on her."
>Laugh a bit. "Should be fun, seeing all that go down."
>Beat.
>"...I think I'm causing an incident right now!" Laugh!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Simple really. You pilfer one of Sanae's spare outfits, then I change into it, and then you make me look and sound like Sanae, and then we can get all these pranks pinned on her."
>Laugh a bit. "Should be fun, seeing all that go down."

>Yukari nods, "Yes, yes... you definitely are killing two birds with one stone. I'm sure Sanae may be kneeling in front of you and wailing once Tenshi sword-slaps her a few times."

>Beat.
>"...I think I'm causing an incident right now!" Laugh!

>Suika nods, "But, so what? Everybody needs some spice in their life, so it's good to try both ends of the stick when it comes to incidents."

>Yukari rummages around in a gap, pulling out one of Sanae's outfits, "Here we go. You're about the same size anyway, so it shouldn't make a difference."

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's take the outfit with a grin, and duck behind a bookcase to change.
>Then when we're done, step out. "Alright, let's get the pie ready, and set to work."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's take the outfit with a grin, and duck behind a bookcase to change.
>Then when we're done, step out. "Alright, let's get the pie ready, and set to work."

>You take the outfit and hide behind a bookcase. Everybody makes a polite point of looking away, anyway.

>You step out, dressed as Sanae. The clothes are a perfect fit for you.

>Yukari nods, reaching into a gap and pulling out a steaming hot peach pie, "It's hilarious how I can just pull these things out of nowhere and nobody objects or questions it."
>Suika laughs a bit, "Well, nobody can. You'd just spirit them away somewhere else if they tried."
>Yukari shrugs, "True, I guess."

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Alright, now to just make me look and sound like Sanae, and presto. Instant fall guy, just add Tenshi."
>Grin. "Besides, it's you Yukari, people expect you to pull out random, seemingly-arbitrary things."
>Take the pie when she passes it to us.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Grin. "Alright, now to just make me look and sound like Sanae, and presto. Instant fall guy, just add Tenshi."

>Yukari nods, altering several borders.
>You can't see it yourself as you don't have a mirror currently on you, but everyone seems pretty impressed.
>Marisa grins, "Nice, you look exactly like her! Nice handiwork, Yukari!"

>Grin. "Besides, it's you Yukari, people expect you to pull out random, seemingly-arbitrary things."
>Take the pie when she passes it to us.

>Yukari shrugs, "Quite possibly."

>She hands you the hot pie, and you take it. Luckily, it is in a container which doesn't conduct heat, so it doesn't burn your hand.
>It smells delicious.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin in our typical way. "Alright, now for the gap to open so I can lean through!"
>When Yukari opens the gap, lean through, but keep the pie out of sight for now.
>"Oh, hello Miss Hinanawi. How are you doing today?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Grin in our typical way. "Alright, now for the gap to open so I can lean through!"
>When Yukari opens the gap, lean through, but keep the pie out of sight for now.

>Yukari opens a gap for you, which you lean through.
>Tenshi stops, looking at you with a puzzled expression.

>"Oh, hello Miss Hinanawi. How are you doing today?"

>Tenshi scowls, "I'm doing terribly! Some idiot filled my hat with cheese, my shoes with fish and my underwear with ice cubes! This day just couldn't get any worse! When I find out who did it, I'm going to completely wreck where they live! That messenger from the Dragon Palace may not even have enough time to give warning..!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle in that usual way Sanae does. "Oh my, that does seem like a problem."
>Fake a look of realization. "Oh, I had something I was going to give you, it might help improve your mood, give me a chance to get it would you?"
>Make a slight show of fiddling around, making it seem as if we're rummaging for something.
>Then, pull out the pie. "With 'warm' regards from the Moriya Shrine~" Then, when she's gotten a good look at it, splat it in her face, and duck back through the gap!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle in that usual way Sanae does. "Oh my, that does seem like a problem."
>Fake a look of realization. "Oh, I had something I was going to give you, it might help improve your mood, give me a chance to get it would you?"

>Tenshi blinks, "You were going to give me something? Oh, cool, thanks."

>Make a slight show of fiddling around, making it seem as if we're rummaging for something.
>Then, pull out the pie. "With 'warm' regards from the Moriya Shrine~" Then, when she's gotten a good look at it, splat it in her face, and duck back through the gap!

>Tenshi watches you curiously.
>As you pull out the pie, you can see a look of surprise and happiness on her face, "Oh, thank you!!"

>You splat the hot pie into her face.
>As you duck through the gap, you hear her screaming with a mixture of frustration and... well, pie.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's have a laugh!
>Grin a bit. "Alright Yukari, I think that's enough pranking for one day, I'd like to get back to my usual body now."
>Once she's shifted us back to normal, duck back behind the bookshelf and change back to our usual red-white outfit.
>Then, step back out and pass the Spare Sanae Outfit back to Yukari. "Let's keep watching the fun, I bet she'll storm off for the Moriya Shrine now!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's have a laugh!
>Grin a bit. "Alright Yukari, I think that's enough pranking for one day, I'd like to get back to my usual body now."
>Once she's shifted us back to normal, duck back behind the bookshelf and change back to our usual red-white outfit.

>Yukari quickly shifts you back to normal.
>You duck behind the bookshelf and change back.

>Then, step back out and pass the Spare Sanae Outfit back to Yukari. "Let's keep watching the fun, I bet she'll storm off for the Moriya Shrine now!"

>You step out and hand Sanae's spare outfit to Yukari.
>Yukari tosses it rather haphazardly through another gap which possibly leads to Sanae's wardrobe.

>Yukari opens a small gap through which you can see Tenshi flying towards Youkai Mountain with her tightly-clenched fist holding her large sword.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's keep watching, with a big ol' grin at the chaos that's about to unfold!
>"I see why you Youkai do this, it's pretty fun to see the chaos happen."
>Beat.
>"Ah. I think Momiji might try to get in her way, we should probably fix that by bringing her here."
>Grin. "I was meaning to introduce her to Kouga anyhow."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's keep watching, with a big ol' grin at the chaos that's about to unfold!
>"I see why you Youkai do this, it's pretty fun to see the chaos happen."

>You keep watching.
>Tenshi flies ever closer and ever faster. It seems like not even one of Kanako's faith pillars could deter her now.

>Beat.
>"Ah. I think Momiji might try to get in her way, we should probably fix that by bringing her here."
>Grin. "I was meaning to introduce her to Kouga anyhow."

>Yukari shrugs, "Good point."
>She opens a gap just as Momiji was due to fly into that spot, sending the latter spiralling into a dazed confusion.

[Hanzo K.]

>It's pretty surprising that Aya hasn't intervened any. She does live on that mountain after all.
>"Yo. Figured you'd want a break from all that work you've been up to eh?"
>Point a thumb over at Kouga. "This here's Kouga, my new Shikigami."
>"Kouga, that's Momiji Inubashiri, a Wolf Tengu who usually patrols the Youkai Mountain."

[Nekomata-chan]

>It's pretty surprising that Aya hasn't intervened any. She does live on that mountain after all.

>It looks like Aya's pretty enthralled with the event that just occurred, and it busy scrawling in her notebook. She's entered her infamous focused mode. You'd be lucky if a brick to the head stirred her.

>"Yo. Figured you'd want a break from all that work you've been up to eh?"
>Point a thumb over at Kouga. "This here's Kouga, my new Shikigami."

>Momiji blinks, "It's a slow day today, anyhow. I think a break will be good.."
>She waves at Kouga, "Hi."

>"Kouga, that's Momiji Inubashiri, a Wolf Tengu who usually patrols the Youkai Mountain."

>Kouga waves at Momiji, "Nice to meet you."
>Momiji shuffles over to you and whispers, "He reminds me of Shou a bit..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Maybe a sledgehammer to the head would? She's a Youkai after all, they'll heal from something like that easily enough if it was a Human swinging it.
>Give Momiji a sly grin. "You noticed too eh? Aya, Suika, and even Sanae think he looks like what'd happen if you hooked up with Shou from the Myouren Temple."
>Chuckle. "Though, he is a White Tiger Shikigami, so it's to be expected."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Maybe a sledgehammer to the head would? She's a Youkai after all, they'll heal from something like that easily enough if it was a Human swinging it.

>Aya probably wouldn't mind that. She'd take a picture and post it into Bunbunmaru under the headline "GUESS WHAT I FOUND IN MY HEAD".

>Give Momiji a sly grin. "You noticed too eh? Aya, Suika, and even Sanae think he looks like what'd happen if you hooked up with Shou from the Myouren Temple."
>Chuckle. "Though, he is a White Tiger Shikigami, so it's to be expected."

>Momiji stares at you, "You can't be serious? Why would I ever hook up with Shou?"
>Suika shrugs, "You're both devoted, got animal-like traits about you like you have your wolf-iness and Shou has her tiger-patterns, both of you work for or serve someone higher like you serve Lord Tenma and Shou is a 'devotee of Hijiri's creed'. Also, I can totally see you two as a couple."

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle a bit at the thought. She would do that wouldn't she?
>Then laugh slightly, and glance at the gap to watch the fun a little.
>"Well, he's also pretty devoted himself. And he even got Alice to admit that she might be outclassed when it comes to snark."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Chuckle a bit at the thought. She would do that wouldn't she?

>Definitely not. Although, Shou has been renowned to be quite persuasive.

>Then laugh slightly, and glance at the gap to watch the fun a little.
>"Well, he's also pretty devoted himself. And he even got Alice to admit that she might be outclassed when it comes to snark."

>You look back at the gap, and Tenshi is just hovering above the Moriya shrine with a look of pure contempt.
>Momiji yelps, "What happened with her?! Is she going to attack the shrine?!"

[Hanzo K.]

>I was referring to Aya, but let's go with that.
>Chuckle. "Maybe, but Sanae should be able to handle it. She is a Shrine Maiden after all."
