>Nod. "Even so, I was practically made of crazy. The old me didn't have anyone to help her out, so I guess your sis has it better off since she's got you."
>"Well, it's a shame I didn't get a crack at him, I probably would've done more than just break him if I were there. He probably got off easy, getting busted up like he did."
>Grin. "Ah well, sometimes being unpredictable is a good thing. And either way, it's in my nature to want to help out someone who's in trouble. Even if it means saving them from themselves."
>Let's keep rolling until we get to the forest!
> "Losing what you hold dearest is more painful than starting with nothing to lose. Starting with nothing is bad, but the scars left from losing everything is different. Especially when you knew the victim before it happened." Remilia says.
> "Oh no, I made him suffer before I let Flan at him. You see, my ability is to manipulate Fate itself, although there are various limits, a little twist of fate to make the Count slowly lose all he had over the course of fifteen years, before I let Flan at him, was sure to make him suffer enough." Reimilia says with relish. She seems fond of the suffering she inflicted on this 'man', not without reason.
> You reach the outside of the Bamboo Forest. You see various allies gathered there, specifically:
> Reimu, Marisa and Sanae are obviously there, Sukia is also there with them, although she doesn't look bothered at all and is drinking as usual. Alice is with Marisa.
> Wriggle, Mystcia, Kogasa, Daiyousei and a bored-looking Cirno are here
> The three fairies have shown up too, when you ask them they say Cirno can't have all the fun.
> Aya, Hatate, Momiji, Nitori and some various other Kappa and Wolf Tengu are there. You note the Kappa have various devices.
> Keine apparently is already inside the forest, looking for someone called Mokou. You recall Kogasa mentioning her as the cause of her burns before, and Eirin mentioning her as an immortal... and Kaguya hating her guts.
> Orin is here, although it seems no-one else from the underground was able to come... or willing. That said, you doubt Satori is too good in a fight, and Utusho would probably overdo it and harm everyone. Yuugi probably isn't bothered and thinks Sukia can handle it. Or just wants to keep drinking.
> Mima is floating more or less alone, with only Yuka with her. You hear Yuka mention she's only here because the rabbits stained her sunflowers with their blood as she killed them, so she wants to kill the ones who sent them.
> Rikako is with the Kappa, looking fascinated at their various devices.
> Eientei itself has the rabbits, Tewi, Eirin, Reisen and Kaguya herself.
> In the group you brought is Seiga, Yoshika, Miko, Futo, Toijiko, Kasen [Who is making a point to stay out of Sukia's notice], Remilia, Flandre [Which causes Reimu to look at Remilia with a 'Did you have to bring her' look], Sakuya, Patchouli, Meiling and Koakuma.
> Youmu is sharpening her swords.
> The Mouyren Temple's residents, Byakuren, Shou, Nue, Mamizou, Ichirin, Unzan, Murasa, and Kyouko are staying as far away from the Taoists as possible. You note Nazrin is with them too, but she moved out ages ago to live at the border to find rare items.
> You can't see Yukari, Ran or Chen anywhere, but knowing them if they have any intention of showing up they'll do so at the last moment.
> If Rika is gonna do anything she won't be with everyone else. She'll be hiding somewhere, probably in the forest already, or still not here yet.
> The thing is... you still get a bad feeling, even with all this power combined, more people than when you fought Shinki.
