Mystia 'Quest': Making a Living [Complete]

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's get the arm to her. "I don't think I've ever seen a human actually do something like that. Uh, here?"

[Raikaria]

>Let's get the arm to her. "I don't think I've ever seen a human actually do something like that. Uh, here?"

> "Ain't a normal human. That thing's useless to me right now. dead weight. Every bone's shattered. I ripped it off myself, dead weight. No loss to me, although I musta been killed really hard for it not to come back already. Either that or I got more dying to do still. Might explain the excruciateing pain right now... oh I think I died again."

> The human collapses.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's just set the arm down next to her, and go get Keine. She'll know what to do!

[Raikaria]

>Let's just set the arm down next to her, and go get Keine. She'll know what to do!

> You figure getting Keine is a good idea. Then you turn around and see her standing there already.

> Except she's different. Horns and tail and green hair. You notice the moon is full tonight.

> "Can't you not get in a fight on a full moon Mokou?" Keine says. Her voice is different, deeper, rougher.

> The human sits up again. Her arm isn't back yet.

> "Well... hnngk... you saw the inferno. If I hadn't acted, the village would have been in more danger than ya coulda handled. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'm still dying... man... Keine, I swear, dying twenty-one times and counting isn't a good sign for what woulda happened if I hadn't dived in."

> The human collapses again, and you can feel she's dead. You see embers danceing around her body.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Oooh....this is so not going to be good for business...Or anything else for that matter...I'll just go get the cart for when she's done...uh, dying I guess?"
>Let's get the cart closer, they'll probably need something to eat when all this finishes.

[Raikaria]

>"Oooh....this is so not going to be good for business...Or anything else for that matter...I'll just go get the cart for when she's done...uh, dying I guess?"
>Let's get the cart closer, they'll probably need something to eat when all this finishes.

> "Yeeeah. Humans don't die multiple times, with the exception of this one. I'll explain when she stops." Keine says.

> You go fetch the kart. When you get back, you hear the human Keine called Mokou grunt "Thirty..." and fall over again. Although she has two arms now.

[Hanzo K.]

>"...This could take a while, huh? At least she's got both arms back now?"
>"Don't worry about paying for food though, it's on the house tonight."

[Raikaria]

>"...This could take a while, huh? At least she's got both arms back now?"
>"Don't worry about paying for food though, it's on the house tonight."

> "Bad idea for me to eat in this form." Keine grunts. "Different biology. Might be dangerous for me to eat, especially as what's inside my Hakutu biology has to go back to human biology. I never eat on the full moon."

> "I kinda gave up eating. Don't need to. I just starve and die and come bac..." Mokou says, before falling over. She almost managed to stand up this time, but you seriously wonder how strong that figure was to kill this person at least thirty one times over, and beat Sakuya, Meiling and the other two so quickly.

> The worst thing is, she didn't seem harmed at all.

[Hanzo K.]

(Just a little note, but Mokou does eat when she feels like it. She doesn't always rely on her immortality for that stuff.)

>Sigh. "Fair enough, but just who was that? I mean, she went up against some really strong people, and didn't really seem fazed."

[Raikaria]

(Just a little note, but Mokou does eat when she feels like it. She doesn't always rely on her immortality for that stuff.)

>Sigh. "Fair enough, but just who was that? I mean, she went up against some really strong people, and didn't really seem fazed."

(She's not really in the mood for it when dying repeatedly. And still dying. She just sees it as the most polite way to decline. She might turn around when she stops dying for five seconds)

> "I recall Reimu warning me once of an insanely powerful creature in the Scarlet Mansion, who if it ever headed towards the Human Village, would nessessite a complete evacuation. She is the Sister of Remillia Scarlet, Flandre Scarlet. She has the power to destroy anything on a whim, and, worse still, she's completely insane. You know how powerful Yuuka is when she's angry? Well, Flandre can apparently make her destructive power look like nothing. If it was her... that would explain why Mokou's dying still. Flandre probobly tried to destroy her, but, as a Hourai Immortal.... Mokou's existance dosen't allow that."

> "... I think I've stopped dying. Thirty-Seven. THIRTY-SEVEN TIMES. One clean hit killed me that many times!" Mokou says, standing up.

> "Maybe I should introduce her to the Moonwitch."

[Hanzo K.]

(That's the idea, she'll need it once she's finished.)
>"She sounded more like an overexcited and somewhat spoiled kid to me. But man, I didn't know there was someone who made even Yuuka seem like a fairy by comparison...Wriggle won't be happy to hear that."

[Raikaria]

>"She sounded more like an overexcited and somewhat spoiled kid to me. But man, I didn't know there was someone who made even Yuuka seem like a fairy by comparison...Wriggle won't be happy to hear that."

> "Big difference between someone with marbles weilding power than someone without. Yuuka's power is more dangerous, because she's smart, experianced, and not insane. She can plan. Flandre is the opposite... of course, being totally insane has benifits, like being unpredictable, but it has downsides too. And she dosen't quite make her look like a fairy, because there's not enough of a power anywhere that would cause the gap to be evident. Flandre and Yuuka could probobly have stopped Rika alone, for example, if they were there. Flandre would have probobly taken out the whole mountain range doing so however, while Yuuka wouldn't have." Keine explains.

> "That and she has the power to destroy freaking anything. Yuuka's power is flowers. Flandre could blow up the planet if she's in a bad enough mood, and there's nothing we could do about it." Mokou says,

[Hanzo K.]

>"Wh-whoa...That just means a girl like me is a lot better-suited to cooking. I may be strong when it comes to Rumia's friends, but all this really shows me that there's always a way bigger fish.."

[Raikaria]

>"Wh-whoa...That just means a girl like me is a lot better-suited to cooking. I may be strong when it comes to Rumia's friends, but all this really shows me that there's always a way bigger fish.."

> "Hey, hey, don't get yaself down. Flandre may be insane, but there's one person who ain't going anywhere that can keep her calm and leashed, she has upmost loyalty and respect for her sister." Mokou says.

> "Anyway, I can't let there be a massive scar on the forest, it'll scare the normal humans to death, and I happen to be in Hakutu form. Excuse me, I'll remove the history of the last hour from the land, so the trees were never destroyed." Kaine says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Alright, I'll move the cart out of the way."
>Let's move the cart away from the damaged areas, and put it back in the usual spot once she's done.

[Raikaria]

>"Alright, I'll move the cart out of the way."
>Let's move the cart away from the damaged areas, and put it back in the usual spot once she's done.

> You already left the cart outside the damaged areas.

> Keine breathes in, and.... something indescribable raises from the damaged ground, which she appears to... eat. As she does so, the land returns to normal slowly.

> "Ya see Sparrow, the real reason Keine didn't wanna eat, is that she can eat history in this form. She already knew she would have to do that. That said, I'm not sure if what she said before is true either. I know human biology pretty well from the amount of times I've seen my own guts, but not Hakutu... thankfully." Mokou explains. Her voice is still pained, but she's not keeled over again.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Whoa...I didn't really know she could do stuff like this! I mean, I could kinda tell she wasn't normal for a human, but wow..."

[Raikaria]

>"Whoa...I didn't really know she could do stuff like this! I mean, I could kinda tell she wasn't normal for a human, but wow..."

> "Yeah, pretty impressive. She's eating the history of the last hour on this land. So it never damaged the forest. She's very reponsible about this power, she could use it to bend history to her will after all." Mokou says.

> The trees are back, and Keine stops.

> "Well, I gues it's about time to explain about the human who dies thirty seven times then..." Keine says. "After all, usually humans die once."

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's get the cart back to the usual spot. "We can talk more about that at the cart. I'm pretty sure dying thirty-seven times is bound to make you hungry."
>"...Er, not that I'd really know about that or anything."

[Raikaria]

>Let's get the cart back to the usual spot. "We can talk more about that at the cart. I'm pretty sure dying thirty-seven times is bound to make you hungry."
>"...Er, not that I'd really know about that or anything."

> "You might know. Cirno's probobly died more than that." Keine says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Yeah, but she's a fairy. Plus, I can't remember if she's ever died that many times in one day, much less an hour."

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Yeah, but she's a fairy. Plus, I can't remember if she's ever died that many times in one day, much less an hour."

> "Eh, true. Fairies take time to come back, it's impossible for one to die that many times in a day." Keine says.

> "So fairies have more suviveabilty than me now?" Mokou says, sounding irritated.

[Hanzo K.]

>"I think it's more that it just takes them longer to revive. You revive really quick, so it's easier for you to die more often...I guess? You are only about as durable as a human, right?"

[Raikaria]

>"I think it's more that it just takes them longer to revive. You revive really quick, so it's easier for you to die more often...I guess? You are only about as durable as a human, right?"

> "I'm far more durable than a human. They say  have the highest tolerance to pain in all of Gensokyo!" Mokou says proudly.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, I'm not really talking about that...I was talking about how you can really only take hits as well as a human. Which is to say, er, squishily."

[Raikaria]

>"Well, I'm not really talking about that...I was talking about how you can really only take hits as well as a human. Which is to say, er, squishily."

> "By that logic, I shouldn't be able to take a hit from you. Go on, prove yourself right. I have no issue if I'm wrong. Try to run me through with those claws of yours, or slash me or something." Mokou says, spreading her arms.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well...Uh...."
>Look to Keine. "Uh...is it alright...?"

[Raikaria]

>"Well...Uh...."
>Look to Keine. "Uh...is it alright...?"

> "I know Mokou. Even if I said no, she'd probobly force you to by attacking you if you refused. When she's got something to prove, she'll go to any length to do so."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, um, okay...Let's do it away from the cart though, I don't want to get it all bloody, okay....?"
>We may as well get this done and over with, we'll have to clean up after this though.

[Raikaria]

>"Well, um, okay...Let's do it away from the cart though, I don't want to get it all bloody, okay....?"
>We may as well get this done and over with, we'll have to clean up after this though.

> You're already far enough away.

> You slash at Mokou as hard as you can, less messy for your talons than a thrust.

> What would have been a mortal blow for most humans only makes a small gash, drawing a little blood.

> "See? Not a normal human in durabilty." Mokou says. She's not even reacted to the pain of the slash. The slash also heals in about two seconds.

> This also puts into perspective how hard Flandre must have hit her to kill her thirty seven times.
