Elly Quest - Reaper in Red

[Hanzo K.]

>Shrug. "Dunno, guess that's why we got hired as gatekeepers. I'm back on my feet about a day or two afterwards, I bet she's probably the same."
>"Come to think of it, I oughta see her and compare notes."

[Raikaria]

>Shrug. "Dunno, guess that's why we got hired as gatekeepers. I'm back on my feet about a day or two afterwards, I bet she's probably the same."
>"Come to think of it, I oughta see her and compare notes."

> Reimu thinks.

> "Well, she guards the Scarlet Devil Mansion at the Misty Lake. There's also a library there, if there's information about the Celestials and how to get to their home in Gensokyo, it'll be there." Reimu says,

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"I thought you'd been everywhere in Gensokyo."

[Raikaria]

>"I thought you'd been everywhere in Gensokyo."

> "Oh no, I can reach there if I want due to my power of 'flight' being unrestricted, if I could be bothered to find exactly where it is. I can fly pretty much anywhere, even out of existence if need be." Reimu explains.

> You find Reimu's power being flight highly ironic seeing as she couldn't fly when you met her back when she was a purplette.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Ironic, isn't it? Last time I met you, you needed that turtle of yours to fly."
>"Ah well, guess I'll just ask around at that mansion then. Mind pointing the way?"

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Ironic, isn't it? Last time I met you, you needed that turtle of yours to fly."
>"Ah well, guess I'll just ask around at that mansion then. Mind pointing the way?"

> Reimu points in the only direction there is in Gensokyo from her shrine, to the West.

> "You can't miss the lake. There's a ton of fairies around it all the time, be careful of one with ice-wings in blue, she's highly aggressive, highly stupid and stupidly strong for a fairy." Reimu says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle a bit. "I guess it can't hurt to get in a fight here and there, Malus has been getting restless lately anyhow."
>Look to Malus. "Isn't that right, partner?"

[Raikaria]

>Chuckle a bit. "I guess it can't hurt to get in a fight here and there, Malus has been getting restless lately anyhow."
>Look to Malus. "Isn't that right, partner?"

> The scythe 'nods'.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, I'll be going now. Maybe we'll meet again sometime."
>Let's get going in the direction Reimu pointed out, and look for a lake.

[Raikaria]

>"Well, I'll be going now. Maybe we'll meet again sometime."
>Let's get going in the direction Reimu pointed out, and look for a lake.

> You head in the direction Reimu sent you, and after a fair amount of trees everywhere, you notice what matches Reimu's description, a lake with mist thinly veiling it, and an impressive looking mansion.

[Hanzo K.]

>There's no way it stacks up to Mugenkan though.
>Hmm...do we go on to the mansion? Or make a little detour to have a little fight?

[Raikaria]

>There's no way it stacks up to Mugenkan though.
>Hmm...do we go on to the mansion? Or make a little detour to have a little fight?

> Oh, every mansion is impressive in it's own right. Of course you prefer Mugenkan, but you get the urge to guard this place too. It's a gatekeeper thing.

> Leaving the other thing open. Up to you guys after all. Of course, you could always do both at the same time and bug their gatekeeper.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well, it's been a while since we've had a good fight, so we might be a little rusty. May as well go find that ice fairy for a little warm-up.
>If we're gonna have a round with their gatekeeper, we need to make sure we're at tip-top shape, our pride as a gatekeeper won't permit anything less!

[Raikaria]

> You decide to look for the fairy in blue with ice-wings. It takes some time, but eventually you find two fairies, one who's in green and the other matches the description Reimu gave you.

> "Cirno, there's someone scary behind you." the fairy in green says.

> "Scary? No-one's more scary than me Dai! I'm the strongest!" 'Cirno' says confidently. She hasn't actually turned around.


Cirno and Daiyousei
A couple of fairies notable for opposite traits

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's bring Malus around so the blade's right in front of the ice fairy's throat.
>"I heard you were strong for a fairy. Care to go up against someone stronger?"

[Raikaria]

>Let's bring Malus around so the blade's right in front of the ice fairy's throat.
>"I heard you were strong for a fairy. Care to go up against someone stronger?"

> Cirno's response to the scythe blade is "Shiny!". The other fairy looks scared, and then facepalms at the friend's reaction.

> The Ice Fairy finally turns around, and answers you by breathing out a what seems to be a miniature blizzard at you.

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle a bit, and back off some, bringing Malus around to a resting position on our shoulder.
>"So you can do stuff like that huh? Say, what's your opinion on floor tiles?"

[Raikaria]

>Chuckle a bit, and back off some, bringing Malus around to a resting position on our shoulder.
>"So you can do stuff like that huh? Say, what's your opinion on floor tiles?"

> You chuckle and back off a bit, a little bit too slow, as your sleeve gets caught and is covered in a thin layer of ice.

> "What's a floor tile?" Cirno asks confused.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin a little, and fling some floor tile shots her way. "These!"

[Raikaria]

>Grin a little, and fling some floor tile shots her way. "These!"

> You pause, summoning your 'tile space' around you, a little trick you have. [If Nue can summon UFO danmaku you can do this.]

> You then proceed to have these tiles flip, with no pattern to which one does at any point, and fly towards the blue fairy.

> "Ow ow ow ow ow ow these sting!" the fairy says as she gets pelted.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's have a little laugh. "Hurts, don't it? Man, you'll never even come close to scratching even a fraction of boss' power at this rate."

[Raikaria]

>Let's have a little laugh. "Hurts, don't it? Man, you'll never even come close to scratching even a fraction of boss' power at this rate."

> "Who's your boss?" the green-haired fairy asks, as Cirno keeps going 'ow' as floor tiles hit her.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Yuuka."

[Raikaria]

>"Yuuka."

> "You're boss is the lady who's mean to Wriggle?" Cirno says, before declaring, "This is revenge!", and hurtling numerous icicles your way.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's slide out of the way, and fling more tiles!
>Do we know who she means by that?

[Raikaria]

>Let's slide out of the way, and fling more tiles!
>Do we know who she means by that?

> You dodge the icicles, but the fairy keeps flinging them, so you just smash them with floor tile retaliation.

> You have no idea.

[Hanzo K.]

>Pour on the heat. And by that, I mean fling more tiles, faster.
>"You can't keep this up forever y'know. Sooner or later you're gonna give out."

[Raikaria]

>Pour on the heat. And by that, I mean fling more tiles, faster.
>"You can't keep this up forever y'know. Sooner or later you're gonna give out."

> The fairy has learnt that floor tiles can be evaded, and is actually dodgeing now.

> "I can keep this up all day! Now then, time to show off my special moves! Ice Sign: Icicle Fall!" Cirno declares.

> You heave heard of the spellcard rules, but you don't have any spellcards as you technically don't live in Gensokyo. However, the rules tend to be welcoming to newcomers, and if you need spellcards ones will usually generate, appropriate to your skills.

> Meanwhile, Cirno is launching what seems to be weirdly angled icicles at you, in two waves. They will intersect in front of her, and the arcs are pretty large.

[Hanzo K.]

>We could use Malus to knock away the incoming shots, right?

[Raikaria]

>We could use Malus to knock away the incoming shots, right?

> You doubt it can defend from all of them. Malus cannot change it's BLADE size, only that of the hilt, in addition, the barrage is coming from multiple directions.
