>Consider possible methods of turning Keine to a guy.
>Proceed with our hike!

[LaserTurtle]

>Chat with the others. Be social. Bring up an innocent topic.
>"Guys, do you know of a way to turn a half-hakutaku woman into a man?"

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Pat Fujiyama on it's back.
>FORCE OURSELVES TO SAY WORDS OF APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE
>Because obv we need friendship level to be 255

[capt. h]

>Call it Iku.

> Your new luxray's name is Iku.

>Myon hinted that it's female. Check the Pokedex to see if we can confirm its gender.

> You scan your new pokemon's ball with your pokedex. It confirms that your new pokemon is female.

> You idly wonder how the machine can tell, before deciding that question is best left unanswered.

>Pat Fujiyama on it's back.
>FORCE OURSELVES TO SAY WORDS OF APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE

> "You weren't absolutely terrible out there. Er... I mean, uh... good job? Yes. Good job."

>Because obv we need friendship level to be 255

> You don't understand the levels of friendship, but if you were to assign arbitrary numbers to your relationships, 255 would be something akin to the bonds Jesus had with his father.

>Wriggle and Mystia can have each other. We'll take Keine. And since she can change when she was born, she won't die of age.

> You decide to not bother with Mystia or Wriggle, the latter of whom's cape is no longer on fire and is chasing after the mouse again. She manages to catch it, much to the disappointment of Mystia.

>Consider possible methods of turning Keine to a guy.

> You wonder if history manipulation could do anything about it.

> That would explain the male/female ratio in Gensokyo. Either that, or Yukari had too much fun one night.

> You REALLY hope Keine doesn't mess with history for such shallow reasons.

>Chat with the others. Be social. Bring up an innocent topic.

> "So, Mystia. How's buisness?"

> "Wonderful, when I was there. I crossed suckers walking to that forest clinic near nightly! And some idiot actually became a regular, can you believe people voluntarily pay to have oversized leeches stuffed down their throats? Sadly, buisness did suffer when I came here."

>"Guys, do you know of a way to turn a half-hakutaku woman into a man?"

> "There's a doctor in the forest who's always working on really weird medicines," Mystia says.

>Proceed with our hike!

> You are in front of a cave. There's a small sign next to it, it indicates travel distances. It looks like the trip to Oreburgh is 5 miles through the cave, 10 miles taking the road around it.

> Course you could always go to bed. It's like 2 AM.

> Who are you kidding, sleep is for whimps and you're surrounded by nocturnal youkai. And Kogasa.

>_

[DNAbc]

>"Kogasa, do you have to sleep? It's not surprising considering it's 2:00AM."
>Let's dominate the damned Zubats cave

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Return Fujiyama
>BURN ALL THOSE BATS

[LaserTurtle]

>Mokou used Flash BURN EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!

[capt. h]

>"Kogasa, do you have to sleep? It's not surprising considering it's 2:00AM."

> "Well, it is late," Kogasa yawns. "Maybe we could call it a night?"

> "Night's still young." Mystia butts in. "It's way too early to go to bed, we should at least wait until sunrise."

> "I'm with Mysti on this one," Wriggle adds.

> "Well, I suppose I could try to keep my eyes open." Kogasa says. She does have big rings under her eyes.

>Return Fujiyama

> You return Fujiyama.

>Let's dominate the damned Zubats cave

>BURN ALL THOSE BATS

> You take your party through what according to your map is called Oreburgh Gate. You will dominate this cave and BURN! BURN BATS BURN! AHAHAHAHA.... ahem. Needless to say, you look forward to incinerating a few flying rodents.

>Mokou used Flash BURN EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!

> The first thing you notice inside the cave is that it's too dark to see. This will make finding the exit troublesome. You consider lighting a fire.

>_

[LaserTurtle]

>Light a fire.
>No, a bigger one.
>A bit more...
>More fire!
>MORE FIRE! AHAHAHAHA!

[capt. h]

Mod note: leaving tonight, be back in a week.

>Light a fire.
>No, a bigger one.
>A bit more...
>More fire!
>MORE FIRE! AHAHAHAHA!

> SO MUCH FIRE! AHAHAHAHA...

> ...That's a lot of bats.



> They all stare at you, screech, and charge. You are being swarmed by bats. If you had to guess, there is over a hundred of them. Your party is running away. Hmf. Cowards.

[DNAbc]

>IMPERISHABLE SHOOTING

[LaserTurtle]

>Is now a good time to set yourself on fire?
>Yes it is. Do it. Burn those bats into crispy bat carcasses.

[capt. h]

>Is now a good time to set yourself on fire?

> You aren't sure if that's the strategically optimal-

>Yes it is. Do it. Burn those bats into crispy bat carcasses.

> Of course it is. Battle is always a good time for self-immolation. You set yourself alight, scorching the little bloodsuckers off of you.

>IMPERISHABLE SHOOTING

> You take out your spell card. Imperishable shooting is a fairly showy card, it's not so much about inflicting pain as being near impossible to avoid on top of having a nice knock-back, a pretty convenient barrier that once activated works without your input and makes for some fine fireworks on a clear night.

> It places some space between your veins and the majority of the legion of bats, course with this many simple probability says some are bound to get through. Well, at least they can't suck your blood through your on-fireness, but that doesn't stop them from ramming you. And now half of them are making god awful screeching noises in a cacophony of... when did the floor become the ceiling?

> Oh great, supersonic. Dozens upon dozens of supersonics forming one unending ear piercing screech throughout the cave. The swarm is in a disorganized frenzy, bouncing against itself and the walls, you suspect the mass of bats isn't unaffected by the attacks.

>_

[DNAbc]

>Throw lots of fire around.

[LaserTurtle]

>Shoot everything that moves, and some of the things that don't.

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Go all defending the shrines modo and Phoenix dive the bats

[capt. h]

>Throw lots of fire around.

> Duh. You throw lots and lots of fire around.

>Shoot everything that moves, and some of the things that don't.

> You shoot ALL THE THINGS.

> ALL OF THEM.

> Your aim is hurt by your inability to figure out the cardinal directions. Because confusion sucks. Course, your quantity is helping compensate for your quality.

>Go all defending the shrines modo and Phoenix dive the bats

> YES.

> ...OW. That hurt.

> Well, you've managed to thin the bats enough that they can no longer reach you, but that god-awful screeching is still filling the cave. It occurs to you that they might be attracted to your fire. Anyway, they can't reach you now, because everything within 10 feet of you spontaniously combusts with your current volley of spells. Unfortunately you seem to have lost Kogasa, Wriggle, and Mystia. Assuming they didn't head towards the swarm, that would put them back outside the cave entrance.

> You consider whether to go back for them or continue onward in an explosion of violence and fire and delicious roasted bat wings. You do have a bone to pick with these bats for making "down" and "up" so hard to find.

>_

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Go back for our party. But make sure they stay a ways behind us while we're buring shit.
>Then burn shit.

[LaserTurtle]

>Consider asking your party members for earplugs.
>If none are available, use Kogasa's umbrella as a shield.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>No, don't do that. We'd just burn it up.

[DNAbc]

>Rip ears off, this ought to stop that screeching for long enough to find our party members, what could possibly go wrong?

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

>Don't rip ears off.
>Calm ourselfs with that skill we learnt to calm our minds after being alive for so long. To rid of the confusion.

[capt. h]

>Rip ears off, this ought to stop that screeching for long enough to find our party members, what could possibly go wrong?

> Well for one thing, ripping off your ears won't make the sound go away, you'd have to destroy the inner parts like the ear drum. Some of those parts control balance.

>Don't rip ears off.

> You decide against self mutilation. For now.

>Calm ourselfs with that skill we learnt to calm our minds after being alive for so long. To rid of the confusion.

> Unfortunately you lack the required amount of beer.

> Not that it would rid you of confusion, but you would certainly be relaxed!

>Go back for our party. But make sure they stay a ways behind us while we're buring shit.

> You go back for your party, letting up your spells once you're outside.

> "I'm gonna burn everything in front of us, you three stay behind me."

> "That's a tree," Kogasa says. It looks like your confusion hasn't fully worn off.

>Consider asking your party members for earplugs.

> "Nope!" Mystia says. "No earplugs."

>If none are available, use Kogasa's umbrella as a shield.

> You look at Kogasa. She has two umbrellas.

>No, don't do that. We'd just burn it up.

> That is a risk you are willing to take.

> ...Nah. You decide that would be wasteful.

>Then burn shit.

> Alright. You are now confident that you aren't talking to Kogasa-shaped trees, which means you are ready to re-attempt the cave.

> Or you can always go the long way.

>_

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Wait, why are we bothering with going through the cave, anyways?
>"Hey, better idea: let's just fly over."

[DNAbc]

>Decide between going into cave for possible rare Pokemons or save some pain by taking the long way.

[LaserTurtle]

>Call up Cirno
>"Hey, do you know what pokemon are in the cave leading to Oreburgh?"
>If there's anything that sounds AWESOME, brave the cave. If not, just fly over.

[capt. h]

>Decide between going into cave for possible rare Pokemons or save some pain by taking the long way.

> You decide to decide between going the long way or entering the cave for some rare pokemon hunting.

>Wait, why are we bothering with going through the cave, anyways?
>"Hey, better idea: let's just fly over."

> Or you could try flying over it, you suppose.

> "5 miles is kind of far for flying," Kogasa says.

> "I can handle it." Mystia adds.

> Wriggle chimes in "I can't."

> "You need more exercise," Mystia says.

> "Not everyone flies south for the winter."

> "They should. The Caribbean is lovely that time of year."

> "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't go."

> "And that's why you need more exercise."

>Call up Cirno
>"Hey, do you know what pokemon are in the cave leading to Oreburgh?"

> "Um... hi Mokou? Well, there might be some cool stuff in the basement, if you have a super rod; I think there are wishcash and maybe you could find a gyrados amongst the magikarp. And there's a bunch of zubat, and maybe a couple of golbat?" Cirno yawns. "You know it's really late. Early. Whatever."

> You note that your rod isn't particularly super looking. You aren't sure why the quality of your rod would have any impact on your catches, and you are a little confused how a cave would have a basement.

>If there's anything that sounds AWESOME, brave the cave. If not, just fly over.

> Welp, you were looking for a Gyrados. Although that magikarp you caught on the ferry should suffice. It does need to be trained a little first.

> As the crow flies, it's 5 miles. Walking, it's ten. You don't have a shortage of time, but you are currently on the phone with Cirno.

>_

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Cirno> "You ran out of energy there?"

>to the others> "I'd say we fly over it. Nothing good here. Unless you'd like to walk into a lot of walls and possibly fall into a pit."

>"I'll help you two fly over."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Also you might think the celing is your mother or something. Confusion sucks."

[capt. h]

>Cirno> "You ran out of energy there?"

> "Gotta sleep sometimes..." she mumbles. "Call me back after sunrise, k?"

> Cirno hangs up.

>to the others> "I'd say we fly over it. Nothing good here. Unless you'd like to walk into a lot of walls and possibly fall into a pit."

> "Don't forget the bats!" Kogasa adds.

>"Also you might think the celing is your mother or something. Confusion sucks."

> "I'd like to meet my mother, actually." Kogasa says. "Let's go in!"

> "No," your other two companions reply simultaneously.

>"I'll help you two fly over."

> You make to pick up Kogasa and Wriggle. You then attempt to take to the air...

> And the three of you immediately topple over to the ground.

> Kogasa is surpri-considerably lighter than you would have figured from looking at her, though her bags have some weight to them. Wriggle, on the other hand, weighs well over a hundred pounds, closer to 200 with her bags. You aren't going to be able to lift both of them over the bluffs; you can barely lift Wriggle at all.
