Mystia 'Quest': Making a Living [Complete]

[IdiotsOpposite]

Brilliant! We're such a smart bird youkai.

[Hello Purvis]

>Alternately...do we know where to get a decent-sized tub and load it up with water and lampreys?

Forget freezing them, gentlemans.  We could serve 'em fresh without even having to leave the stand!

[GuyYouMetOnline]

That works, too.

[Raikaria]

>Wait, we can get Cirno to help! We catch a bunch, and she can freeze them to keep them fresh!
>"Hey, Dai. I just had an idea. Can you go get Cirno?"

> "I don't know where Cirno is! I asked you if you knew when you dragged me!" Daiyousei said. "She should be back soon though, winter's almost over."

>Alternately...do we know where to get a decent-sized tub and load it up with water and lampreys?

Forget freezing them, gentlemans.  We could serve 'em fresh without even having to leave the stand!

> You have several ideas:

1: Ask Rinnosuke
2: Make something, this will take some time, but you can do it.
3: Ask Meiling if the SDM has something they don't need
4: Go to the underground and try to take that bucketgirl's bucket. You don't think she'll like you doing that though. Nor do you like being underground.
5: Try to steal something from the human village
6: Bug Reimu

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Hey, Rinnosuke! Do you have a big tub I could fill with water or anything like that? That way I can catch the eels ahead of time and keep them alive so I don't have to leave the stand every time someone places an order."

[capt. h]

> What happened last time we bugged Reimu?

[Raikaria]

>"Hey, Rinnosuke! Do you have a big tub I could fill with water or anything like that? That way I can catch the eels ahead of time and keep them alive so I don't have to leave the stand every time someone places an order."

> "Not sure off the top of my head. Between everything I have and what Marisa steals, it's hard to keep tabs." Rinnosuke says.

> What happened last time we bugged Reimu?

> She gave you a look that made you feel like you should REALLY reconsider your life options. Then Cirno went poof because she kept bugging Reimu. There were a bunch of needles that fell from where Cirno was, but you never saw Reimu throw them. And you're bird-eyed.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>But if we just said 'hi' and asked if she had a big tup, surely that wouldn't be enough to upset her.
>We'll bring some money for a donation, too. That'll probably get her in a good mood.

[IdiotsOpposite]

I agree. A donation would help. Also, we should do it at night, so we don't disturb any human visitors to the temple.

[Raikaria]

>But if we just said 'hi' and asked if she had a big tup, surely that wouldn't be enough to upset her.
>We'll bring some money for a donation, too. That'll probably get her in a good mood.

> This is Reimu you're thinking about. She's always grouchy about doing anything more than is required for survival.

> You know Reimu does like the shinies.

I agree. A donation would help. Also, we should do it at night, so we don't disturb any human visitors to the temple.

> You know that the only human visitors the Hakurei Shrine ever gets are Marisa, Sakuya, Sanae and Keine. You don't count Youmu as human, even though she is half-human.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>We should go in the morning. Don't want to wake her up; that's probably put her in a bad mood.

[Raikaria]

>We should go in the morning. Don't want to wake her up; that's probably put her in a bad mood.

> You could set up your stall before moring, do you still want to?

[IdiotsOpposite]

Yes. Let's do it.

[Hello Purvis]

>Once we get paid.

[Raikaria]

Yes. Let's do it.

> You decide to move your shop, then go bug Reimu.

>Once we get paid.

> Daiyousei, being a fairy, has the currency of a small debt owed to you, as she mentioned before. Rinnosuke seems to have already walked off, but there are several very shiny round coins on the table too. You like shiny. You don't know how much this actually is, but it can either go with the rest of your stash, or you can use this for donations to Reimu.

> You proceed to move your stand to the outside of the human village. It's about 5am by the time you are completely done with it, since you took a little break. You notice Rinnosuke leaveing the human village shortly after you are done.

[IdiotsOpposite]

Hm, I'd say we should use Rinnosuke's payment, along with a few shinies from our stash for the donation. As for the time, we might want to wait a bit - 5 AM is still a bit too early to be bugging Reimu.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Wave to Rinnosuke.
>When do we think would be the earliest we could safely go see Reimu?

[Hello Purvis]

>Calculate how many lampreys we think we could get before it would become a problem. We are a youkai after all, and youkai don't like to ruin the land.

[Raikaria]

> This seems like a good idea.

>Wave to Rinnosuke.
>When do we think would be the earliest we could safely go see Reimu?

> You wave to Rinnosuke. You notice he dosen't look like he's been headbutted, and does not have the scroll, so you guess it went OK. He nods in response.
> Is there ever a 'safe' time to see Reimu without annoying her? Still, you guess 9am is a safe time. It'll take you about 30 mins from your current location to reach the Hakurei Shrine.
> At this point you also recall Sukia and Genji live at the Shrine, and might be helpful, even if Reimu isn't awake... or in a good mood.

>Calculate how many lampreys we think we could get before it would become a problem. We are a youkai after all, and youkai don't like to ruin the land.

> Lamprey breed like guppy, you're doing the ecosystem of the Misty Lake a favor.

[Hello Purvis]

>What other places do we know about that would serve to let us burn some time?

[Raikaria]

>What other places do we know about that would serve to let us burn some time?

> You could look in the forest for Wriggle. She's not hard to find.

> Misty Lake and the Scarlet Mansion would allow you to chat with Daiyousei, Meiling, and any other random faries.

> You could always just go to the Hakurei shrine and see if Sukia is awake. Even then, the Three Mischevious Faries live near the shrine.

> There's also Myouren Temple. You don't go there at all, but you know where it is, and you know it's a temple specifically for youkai.

Anywhere else of note would take too long to get to for it to be worthwhile going there, because you'd have to turn around and go back to see Reimu.

[nolrai2]

The Temple.
Lets try something new.

[IdiotsOpposite]

I agree, let's go visit the temple. But first...

Relationship with Suika?

[Hello Purvis]

>Let's temple it up. Maybe we could find a tub without hassling red-whites or parting with the precious shinies!

[Raikaria]

Relationship with Suika?

> As good as it can be with a drunken Oni that's chummy with everyone. Every time you meet up she tries to get everyone drunk for a party. Thankfully she knows no means no... after like five time, and never resorts to force.

>Let's temple it up. Maybe we could find a tub without hassling red-whites or parting with the precious shinies!

The Temple.
Lets try something new.

I agree, let's go visit the temple. But first...

> You decide visiting Mouyren Temple is the best way to spend your time.

> You fly over to where it is [There was a big ceremony when it opened, and you were there. That and Kogasa lives in the graveyard], and see a youkai sweeping away small patches of snow, and the occasional twig from the from of the temple. She appears to have not noticed you.

> You recall Rumia mentioning a very loud youkai that sweeps. This might be her.

[Hello Purvis]

>Examine this youkai, then approach.
>"Hey! How does this temple place work? Do I have to go somewhere specific?"

[Raikaria]

>Examine this youkai, then approach.
>"Hey! How does this temple place work? Do I have to go somewhere specific?"

> She's wearing a pink and white dress,m and is of average height. Her hair is blue and she has dog-like ears. Her appearance, plus the 'she's very loud' thing Rumia told you tells you she is likly a Yamabiko. You know this because you've seen some before, on an occasion when you were flying around singing anywhere and everywhere.

> "HELLO VISITOR!" the Yamabiko shouts loudly. Luckily, you were braced for it. She then says, much quieter; "I did it again... sorry!"

> "You just walk in the front door." the Yamabiko said.

*Note: I'm not includeing the new canon stuff added in Symposium of Post-mysticism, if it would effect character relationships or pre-established RC canon. Mystcia is not in a punk band with Kyouko. Yet at least.*

[capt. h]

> Walk into front door.

[Raikaria]

> Walk into front door.

> You enter the front door of the temple.

> Inside basically looks like a larger, and somewhat grander version of the Moriya Shrine. There is a statue of a different god than Kanako, however. At least, you think it's a god.



> You also see someone who looks a LOT like this statue. Except for the tiger ears and tail.

> And being female.

[Also; I have the main plotline for Rumia Quest 4 sorted now.]

[Hanzo K.]

[Cool, let's just get the Mystia Hijinx wrapped up.]

>"Whoa..."
