Off The Rails - NEW ADVENTURE IN A NEW THREAD! [Completed]

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Wow...When'd we all get tea? Tasty though~"
>...Usually tea comes after these 'incident' thing though, at least, that's what Sakuya says. But we haven't beaten up the quantum-thingy yet!
>Oh well, we'll have this tea now, and then more tea later after we've beaten up that quantum-thingy!

>Sakuya - "...Well, this is a surprise."
>How did we get tea so soon? We haven't even resolved everything we set out to do. Well, we'll worry about that later.

>Okuu - "Oooh! Koishi, did you do this? You always do care about people after all~"
>Well, let's enjoy the tea!

>Mini Koi-koi - Well, this was kinda out of left field, but tea's always nice.

[LaserTurtle]

Utsuho:

>Okuu - "Oooh! Koishi, did you do this? You always do care about people after all~"
>Well, let's enjoy the tea!

>Koishi gives a strained smile. "No, I didn't, but I can guess at who did."
>"Dangit Chibi Koishi, you're supposed to stay inconspicuous!"
>"Whoops! Teehee~"
>This tea is rather relaxing. You need to be relaxed and ready for whatever this adventure will throw at you.
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - "...Well, this is a surprise."
>How did we get tea so soon? We haven't even resolved everything we set out to do. Well, we'll worry about that later.

>Kogasa is about to surprise Rinnosuke, who's currently repairing a vital support beam for his shop. She feels like she should be somewhere else.
>This incident is nowhere near solved, but you know that tea should always be appreciated.
>_

>Flandre - "Wow...When'd we all get tea? Tasty though~"
>...Usually tea comes after these 'incident' thing though, at least, that's what Sakuya says. But we haven't beaten up the quantum-thingy yet!
>Oh well, we'll have this tea now, and then more tea later after we've beaten up that quantum-thingy!

>"Ask her, she served it," Satori says, glaring at Koishi.
>Wait, if you're having tea now and you're going to get tea after the incident, that means...
>...you get double tea! This is the best thing ever!
>Speaking of incidents, you really should get going. You've stayed at Satori's for long enough.
>Satori nods vigorously. "I wholeheartedly agree."
>_

>Mini Koi-koi - Well, this was kinda out of left field, but tea's always nice.

>I know, I know. Koishi already scolded me, anyway. Why can't I give everyone tea, though? They seem to enjoy it...
>I'm still going to sub for her, so give me stuff to do~!

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Well, it was nice visiting again, and thanks for the tea~! Maybe that mountain's not at the mansion anymore."
>Lousy rotten no-good zargin'-fargin' blibblin' quantum-thingy...Well, let's at least finish the tea before we go, Big Sis always says to never waste tea!
>...Even though she ends up spilling it pretty often. Big Sis is weird. Oh well, we'll leave with the others when we finish the tea.

>Sakuya - "Well, I suppose we should be departing then. The tea was rather nice as well, my thanks."
>Let's finish the tea as well, then we'll depart with the others. Perhaps we should see if that mountain's removed itself by now.

>Okuu - We're going already? but we haven't even gotten halfway done with the tea yet!
>Oh well, we'll just chug it all down and tag along! "Thanks for the tea!"

>Mini Koi-koi - Well, we may as well tag along then! They never expect the Chibi after all~!

[LaserTurtle]

>Flandre - "Well, it was nice visiting again, and thanks for the tea~! Maybe that mountain's not at the mansion anymore."
>Lousy rotten no-good zargin'-fargin' blibblin' quantum-thingy...Well, let's at least finish the tea before we go, Big Sis always says to never waste tea!
>...Even though she ends up spilling it pretty often. Big Sis is weird. Oh well, we'll leave with the others when we finish the tea.

>"The mountain's probably gone, but judging by your description of this quantum geography, there's going to be something else that'll impede your progress."
>You finish your tea and briefly muse about Big Sis' tea-drinking habits.
>She does spill tea quite often, come to think about it. Huh. Big Sis is weird.
>In the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia has the sudden urge to make sure she doesn't spill her tea. To prove that she is the master of her own fate, she spills the tea on purpose. This is why she's not a playable character. She always pulls stuff like this.
>Anyway, you head across the bridge again and up to the entrance of the Underground.
>Where shall you start exploring?
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - "Well, I suppose we should be departing then. The tea was rather nice as well, my thanks."
>Let's finish the tea as well, then we'll depart with the others. Perhaps we should see if that mountain's removed itself by now.

>Koishi bows. "I'm glad that it was to your enjoyment."
>You sip the last of your tea and follow Flandre out of the Underground. You have no idea whether the mountain is gone or not, but do you want to check?
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - We're going already? but we haven't even gotten halfway done with the tea yet!
>Oh well, we'll just chug it all down and tag along! "Thanks for the tea!"

>Huh? Everyone is leaving?
>You can't get left behind! You gulp down the rest of the tea, spend a minute choking on it, then run out after them.
>You run across the bridge. Where is Parsee, anyway?
>Oh well. You meet up with the others just in the entrance of the Underground, as if they're bracing themselves for whatever nonsense quantum geography has cooked up for them.
>_

>Mini Koi-koi - Well, we may as well tag along then! They never expect the Chibi after all~!

>Nobody expects Chibi Koishi~! I clung onto Parsee's face for a while. It was fun, but I think I was responsible for her stumbling off the bridge and into the water. Oh well!
>Oh, while I'm here, here's something important!
Because I have no idea what do do next, You get to decide the next random encounter! Go wild, and I'll try to incorporate all of them, just like last time!

[Hanzo K.]

>Okuu - Wah! We gotta keep up!

>Flandre - Well, we may as well give it a look-see. Maybe it's a castle like that one game-thingy patchy gave us! The one with the guy with the neat whip!
>...That does make one wonder though, just what is a man? We know little girls, girls, old people who look like little girls, but what's a man?

>Sakuya - She's thinking about something strange again, isn't she? Well, we'll keep an eye on her all the same, it's one of our many jobs after all.

>Mini Koi-koi - Oh well, she woke up at least, didn't she? Let's follow along still!

[LaserTurtle]

Utsuho:

>Okuu - Wah! We gotta keep up!

>You did. You're right behind them.
>Wait no, they're moving again. Why are they in such a hurry?
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - Well, we may as well give it a look-see. Maybe it's a castle like that one game-thingy patchy gave us! The one with the guy with the neat whip!
>...That does make one wonder though, just what is a man? We know little girls, girls, old people who look like little girls, but what's a man?

>You head back in the direction of Misty Lake. Hopefully it's somewhere more suited for an adventure, like a castle! Or a temple, but being a vampire might get in the way of holy temple ransacking.
>You know perfectly well what a man is! They appear in stories all the time, and that shopkeeper is one, technically!
>He looks like one, at least.
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - She's thinking about something strange again, isn't she? Well, we'll keep an eye on her all the same, it's one of our many jobs after all.

>Flandre is always thinking about something strange. She has a point, though. The Scarlet Devil Mansion might be back to normal by now.
>And of course, it isn't.There is now a castle right in front of Misty Lake.
>There's a sign next to it.
You thought you'd be able to just get back home, didn't you?
Too bad. Quantum geography time! Don't check, it completely surrounds the lake.
Also, you can't fly over it. No cheating!
>This is getting ridiculous.
>You could go somewhere else, or you could enter this castle. What do you think you should do?
>_

>Mini Koi-koi - Oh well, she woke up at least, didn't she? Let's follow along still!

>Of course she did! It's not like the fall knocked her unconscious! She's just soaking wet.
>I gotta follow Okuu and her friends, so off I go~!

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Flandre: "Hey, cool!"
>Head in.
>Wonder why a man would keep secrets in a pile.

>Okuu: "Hey, wait up!"
>Follow Flandre in.

<Sakuya: Sigh, then follow.

[LaserTurtle]

Flandre:

>Flandre: "Hey, cool!"
>Head in.
>Wonder why a man would keep secrets in a pile.

>This is just like an adventure! All you need is a whip!
>At least it's not pitch-black in there like the cave was. You can see Nitori setting up shop next to the entrance.
>Of course, secrets can be kept in piles, but using a filing cabinet is just more organized. Time shenanigan maid storage is also a good place to keep secrets. Sakuya keeps hers there.
>At least, that's what Big Sis told you when you asked about piles of secrets.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu: "Hey, wait up!"
>Follow Flandre in.

>Why does everyone keep on going places without you?
>You enter the temple-castle thingy and notice the checker-tiled floor of the hallway.
>Oh, there's also Nitori. Huh?
>_
Sakuya:

<Sakuya: Sigh, then follow.

>Why does Flandre always pick the worst places to explore?
>This is like the temple in the book with the guy with the whip that Patchouli reads to Flandre. You are expecting traps to appear everywhere.
>And Nitori is setting up a booth of some sort.
>How does she know where to set up shop?
>_
>So, you chose to go deeper into the rabbit hole, did you? Hmhmhm~
>"Hey, chibi-me. I'm back. You can rejoin the group, now."
>"Aww. It was fun, though." I'll see you in the story~!

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - Well, this might be fun, but we'll have to be more careful this time! But still, a new adventure means we need a new outfit!
>So let's check out Nitori's shop to see if she's got any new outfits! We'll still punch the quantum thingy in the face when we find it though, we've already resolved to do that because it did all this weird stuff to us.

>Sakuya - Well, at least she isn't acting up like when the mountain showed up. Someone has to keep an eye on these two after all, so we'll have to keep close.

>Okuu - "Wow...."
>Oh hey, it's the kappa again! Wonder what she's got..?

>Koi-koi - May as well follow along, but who knows what'll happen thanks to the Quantum Geography.

[LaserTurtle]

This update brought to you by terrible scheduling,
Flandre:

>Flandre - Well, this might be fun, but we'll have to be more careful this time! But still, a new adventure means we need a new outfit!
>So let's check out Nitori's shop to see if she's got any new outfits! We'll still punch the quantum thingy in the face when we find it though, we've already resolved to do that because it did all this weird stuff to us.

>Sure enough, Nitori's store has several strange things, along with clothes. How does she know what to stock?
>Her list of wares is:
>Normal Orbs
>Psychic Laser Generator
>Instant Decoy-in-a-Can
>Portable Distraction
>Box-o'-Clothes. This has almost every outfit in existence. It's rather unnerving, actually.
>Punching quantum geography is on the top of your to-do is right at the top of your to-do list. You haven't found it yet, so you can't punch it, though.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - "Wow...."
>Oh hey, it's the kappa again! Wonder what she's got..?

>Aside from the usual randomly-picked machines, there's something that catches your eye:
>Control Rod Insurance. Huh?
>That seems... awfully convenient.
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Well, at least she isn't acting up like when the mountain showed up. Someone has to keep an eye on these two after all, so we'll have to keep close.

>Your companions are too busy admiring the kappa shop to notice that you are all locked in this temple.
>This is terrible. You actually have to get through it, now.
>Though the kappa does seem to have especially strange things for sale. How do you put a decoy in a can? You're tempted to buy it just to see what it does.
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Hey, hey, how much for this box o' clothes?"
>No time to worry about it being unnerving, if it's got every outfit out there, then it's got a new one for us!

>Okuu - Convenient! Let's see how much it is!

>Sakuya - Canned Decoy...Well, we can look to see how much it is.
>We'll have to be exceedingly careful from here on out though.

[LaserTurtle]

Flandre:

>Flandre - "Hey, hey, how much for this box o' clothes?"
>No time to worry about it being unnerving, if it's got every outfit out there, then it's got a new one for us!

>New outfits might raise your attack power make you look cuter! You just have to get it!
>Time to pester Sakuya!
>Nitori points to the price list. "Everything you want to know is right there."
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - Convenient! Let's see how much it is!

>Just in case. You'll definitely want to be able to have replacement control rods available.
>"How does it work?" you ask.
>"Should my Nitori Tech sensor notice that your control rod is broken, I will send one of my special operatives to present you with a new one!" Nitori explains animatedly.
>The price list says that it's 1,000 G up front, and 200 G every time your control rod is replaced.
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Canned Decoy...Well, we can look to see how much it is.
>We'll have to be exceedingly careful from here on out though.

>Flandre drags you over to the price list. She's excited about the box of clothes in particular.
>You have 15,500 G.
>Normal Orbs - 300 G each
>Psychic Laser Generator - 3,500 G (Nitori says that it's a secret. Seems shady, but kappa in general have too much pride to lie about technology.)
>Instant Decoy-in-a-Can - 500 G each (One use only, you presume. Comes in Grape-flavored, Lemon-scented, and Extra-spicy variants.)
>Portable Distraction - 1,000 G (In Nitori's words: "Totally different from the Decoy-in-a-Can. For one thing, it's in a box. Also, it's a distraction, not a decoy. They both mess around with three-dimensional space to store things, though.")
>Box-o'-Clothes - 2,000 G (More space shenanigans. At least Nitori can't corner the time shenanigan market.)
>Control Rod Insurance - 1,000 G up front, 200 G per replacement (Utsuho would need this, you suspect, but is it worth the price?)
>Financial management minigame start!
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - Well, it's only 2000, and we should be able to store it easily enough. Besides, Mistress should find it rather handy as well once we find her.
>We'll have to get that insurance as well, which means that we can't afford to spend anymore than what we already are.

>Flandre - Yayz! New clothes! Woohoo!
>Oh, we can't get too excited though, last time that happened, big sis had up cleaning splattered fairy off the walls for the whole week!
>...S'not our fault they got in the way...

>Okuu - Oh, looks like the maid's got everything under control~! Man she's efficient! We should get a mini-sakuya too sometime!

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Well, it's only 2000, and we should be able to store it easily enough. Besides, Mistress should find it rather handy as well once we find her.
>We'll have to get that insurance as well, which means that we can't afford to spend anymore than what we already are.

>You have the money, so you might as well. You purchase the box of clothes and put it into your TSMS.
>Achievement Unlocked! Storage-ception: You just put a storage space into a storage space. I think you broke something.
>Back in the Human Village, Keine is desperately trying to make the year 1212 its original length.
>Insurance is up next. You buy it, and Nitori bows. "Thank you for shopping at Kappa-Mart!"
>You've got 12,500 G left.
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - Yayz! New clothes! Woohoo!
>Oh, we can't get too excited though, last time that happened, big sis had up cleaning splattered fairy off the walls for the whole week!
>...S'not our fault they got in the way...

>Clothes! Yay! You should go through them later.
>You don't see any harm in getting a little excited. Besides, that one time wasn't completely your fault. Patchouli said it was an "experiment."
>So, you were completely innocent. It was all Patchy's fault.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - Oh, looks like the maid's got everything under control~! Man she's efficient! We should get a mini-sakuya too sometime!

>But you already are a maid! You've still got the uniform!
>Also, your internal memo system is already cluttered with "get a Sakuya of some sort" notes.
>But Sakuya is awesome! You hope you can cancel the insurance whenever you want, though. Don't want to run up an debts for Satori.
>You're primed and ready for adventure! Onward!
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - Why wait? Let's poke through it now!
>...Aha! This one looks perfect!

>Okuu - Hey! That's a neat outfit! Let's look for one for us now!
>....Woohoo! Jackpot! Now here's an outfit Rin would be jealous of!
>...Parsee too, but she's always like that!

>Sakuya - At least they're safe. This box could prove to be even more useful than we imagined, since it has clothing like this.
>If nothing, it would save us the effort of needing to repair clothing as often.

[LaserTurtle]

Flandre:

>Flandre - Why wait? Let's poke through it now!
>...Aha! This one looks perfect!

>You are now wearing new clothes. Unfortunately, as the clothing is a set, you have to take off your cat ear headband and put it into the box.
>You don't get any stat bonuses feelings of power with this outfit, but it looks cool, at any rate.
>Come to think of it, you've been spending a lot of time just standing around. Didn't you have some adventuring to do?
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - Hey! That's a neat outfit! Let's look for one for us now!
>....Woohoo! Jackpot! Now here's an outfit Rin would be jealous of!
>...Parsee too, but she's always like that!

>Some people might think that your outfit is ridiculously fancy.
>To those people, you say: "Fancy is fancy, even if it's ridiculous fancy-ness."
>Parsee isn't actually jealous, though, because she's wearing an outfit that's so ridiculous that the game master can't even find an image to depict it everyone is just staring at her.
>Right, time to leave the kappa shop and wander around the open sky!
>Oh, right. You're still trapped in the temple. Huh.
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - At least they're safe. This box could prove to be even more useful than we imagined, since it has clothing like this.
>If nothing, it would save us the effort of needing to repair clothing as often.

>You've got half a mind to change out of your maid uniform, if the box has clothes like that.
>Wait, you were sure that you put the box in storage. When did they take it out and how?
>Doing a quick run-through of your TSMS confirms your suspicions. Flandre broke into it and glitched messed up half of your wardrobe. Some of the spare maid uniforms seems like they inverted in color, while others are now fitted for something with five arms. You put the box of clothes back into your storage and throw the defective uniforms out.
>Back in the Human Village, Keine is sobbing. The American Revolution isn't supposed to happen in 1435!
>There is now a pile of defective maid uniforms that you are standing next to. It is large enough to hide several fairies or one child vampire.
>You're also still stuck in the temple, and the only path you're given is one that looks suspiciously like it is going to try and murder you every step you take on it.
>Maybe Utsuho can blast through a wall or something. The hallway in front of you is really not a good area to pass through.
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - We can easily procure improved outfits for the Fairy maids with this box!
>We'll have to keep it under lock and key for a little while though, who knows what else broke when Flandre broke into the TSMS.
>"Utsuho, could you blast open a better path for us? I do not trust this hallway up ahead."

>Flandre - Woohoo! New clothes always feel nice~! We should keep close to Sakuya though, 'cuz she's the really responsible one!
>"New clothes, new clothes. heehee~!"

>Okuu - Arrite then, let's blast open a new path! Let's go over to the wall opposite of the kappa shop, and blast through! "One new path, coming up!"

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya - We can easily procure improved outfits for the Fairy maids with this box!
>We'll have to keep it under lock and key for a little while though, who knows what else broke when Flandre broke into the TSMS.
>"Utsuho, could you blast open a better path for us? I do not trust this hallway up ahead."

>One more quick examination confirms that yes, the box does contain fairy-sized outfits. You will have to implement a new dress code as soon as you get back.
>You're not sure that you can lock anything safely away from Flandre. You could tell her of the consequences of breaking into the TSMS, though.
>That's actually a good idea. After you tell Utsuho about your plan, you'll give Flandre a small lecture.
>_
Utsuho:

>"Utsuho, could you blast open a better path for us? I do not trust this hallway up ahead."
>Okuu - Arrite then, let's blast open a new path! Let's go over to the wall opposite of the kappa shop, and blast through! "One new path, coming up!"

>Well, Sakuya must know what she's doing. Nuclear blast time~!
>You shoot a giant nuclear beam through the wall, opening a secret room.
>An extremely nondescript youkai is in there.
>She looks at you, Sakuya, and Flandre. "Shoot. I've been found out, haven't I? Why couldn't you guys just stay on track and go through my deathtrap hallway?"
>Who the heck is she?
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - Woohoo! New clothes always feel nice~! We should keep close to Sakuya though, 'cuz she's the really responsible one!
>"New clothes, new clothes. heehee~!"

>Your excitement over your new clothes means that you barely even pay attention to Sakuya's lecture.
>She's too responsible. You're sure that breaking into her TSMS couldn't have been that bad!
>Qait, she's saying something about messing with time itself. Maybe it was that bad. You'll have to restrain yourself from doing that in the future.
>Oh hey, Utsuho's made a new way through the temple! Secret rooms in an adventure are a must, after all.
>"Shoot. I've been found out, haven't I? Why couldn't you guys just stay on track and go through my deathtrap hallway?"
>Who is that youkai, anyway? You can't describe her at all.
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - Well, this is certainly something new. We'll watch for now.

>Okuu - Headtilt. "Unyu? Aren't deathtraps bad though?"

>Flandre - Yeah, if she says it's bad, we'll have to keep from doing it again.
>...But who is this weirdo? She needs a new outfit! She's too plain otherwise~

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Well, this is certainly something new. We'll watch for now.

>This goes against incident-solving protocol, but you're not really in the mood for that, anyway. This incident is highly nonstandard, especially considering who you're with.
>Utsuho is talking with the youkai. Negotiation mode active!
>"Unyu? Aren't deathtraps bad though?"
>"Well, yeah, they are," the unnamed youkai replies. "That's sort of the point."
>"Why would you want to make them in the first place?"
>"Because that's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it? Being the youkai of quantum geography and all..."
>The youkai considers what she said. "I really shouldn't have given away my identity. Can't you guys just forget it or something? I wanted to make it my big reveal."
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - Headtilt. "Unyu? Aren't deathtraps bad though?"

>"Well, yeah, they are," the unnamed youkai replies. "That's sort of the point."
>"Why would you want to make them in the first place?" It seems like she's trying to cause an incident.
>"Because that's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it? Being the youkai of quantum geography and all..."
>Oh, that explains it.
>"I really shouldn't have given away my identity. Can't you guys just forget it or something? I wanted to make it my big reveal."
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - Yeah, if she says it's bad, we'll have to keep from doing it again.
>...But who is this weirdo? She needs a new outfit! She's too plain otherwise~

>You wouldn't want to break time itself. That would break a lot of other stuff, and that's not good at all!
>This person is seriously a weirdo. Maybe you can ask Sakuya for the clothes box to find that girl a new outfit.
>What is she saying, anyway?
>"Because that's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it? Being the youkai of quantum geography and all..."
>That's her?
>Right. Face-punching is going to happen soon. real soon.
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Hey, Okuu? Could you step aside for a bit~? I got something to say to her that words can't convey~ I'm gonna cool her head~"
>When Okuu moves, let's unload Starbow Break~! We gonna 'befriend' her just like Marisa does!

>Okuu - ...Oh boy. She's acting just like that girl from the comics Orin brings back! We'd better get outta the way!
>WHOAHOLYSHITSOMANYCOLORS.

>Sakuya - Facepalm. Well, at least she's remembering to use her spellcards...

[LaserTurtle]

Flandre:

>Flandre - "Hey, Okuu? Could you step aside for a bit~? I got something to say to her that words can't convey~ I'm gonna cool her head~"
>When Okuu moves, let's unload Starbow Break~! We gonna 'befriend' her just like Marisa does!

>"Unyu? Okay..."
>The youkai realizes what you're about to do. Her eyes widen in fear. "Oh, please, no... Can you wait? I still don't have any spell cards yet."
>You take out your spellcard. "Forbidden Barrage: Starbow Break!"
>"Aw, [censored]," is the youkai's only reply as the absurd amount of danmaku comes flying towards her.
>You always did like how colorful this spellcard was.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - ...Oh boy. She's acting just like that girl from the comics Orin brings back! We'd better get outta the way!
>WHOAHOLYSHITSOMANYCOLORS.

>It's like Flandre is an action hero! This is so cool!
>You are really glad you moved out of the way. Barrages aren't fun to be targeted by. You remember from when you tried to make an incident.
>Whoa. That is a lot of colors.
>You're... just going to stare at all the colors. Is that okay with everyone?
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Facepalm. Well, at least she's remembering to use her spellcards...

>The dramatic nothings that Flandre was saying were par for the course.
>Since she's using her spellcards, she must be more rational. That's great; if this keeps up, you might not have to keep her under house arrest for 6 days of the week.
>Of course, she had to use the most colorful and blinding one right off the bat. You're starting to hurt your eyes looking at it.
>Although, considering who this youkai is, you would like to use your spellcards, too.
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Heehee~ So many colors, all of them painful and whee~!"
>...Okay kiddo, let's rein in the crazy a bit, gotta keep at least a little rational. "Ah well, this is gonna be fun~! Let's see how you avoid the rain~!"

>Okuu - Whoa...That's a neat spellcard! She's a little nutty, but man is she cool!
>..Eh? The maid's looking away? It must not be easy on the eyes then, we shouldn't look at it directly either then.

>Sakuya - ...Well, not entirely rational, but at least it's an improvement.
>Well, we'll see if she's got any will to fight after this. She probably won't though. We'll just not look at it directly.

>Flandre - "Heehee~ So many colors, all of them painful and whee~!"
>...Okay kiddo, let's rein in the crazy a bit, gotta keep at least a little rational. "Ah well, this is gonna be fun~! Let's see how you avoid the rain~!"

>Colors are the best when they cause pain. Meiling needs more rainbow spellcards. If the rules allowed it, you'd help her make some, but apparently, that's not how spellcards work.
>"Okay, okay! I surrender! Now will you please stop pelting me with bullets?"
>She's a real amateur, isn't she? Everyone else you know could hold out against this for much longer. Why isn't she even fighting back?
>Oh, right. She has no spellcards.
>You're not going to stop, though. She deserves this for all the trouble she put you, Sakuya, and Utsuho through. You're practically running on autopilot as you consider what has happened so far.
>Wait, where'd she go? You stop your spellcard to make sure that you weren't having tricks played on you by all the colors.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - Whoa...That's a neat spellcard! She's a little nutty, but man is she cool!
>..Eh? The maid's looking away? It must not be easy on the eyes then, we shouldn't look at it directly either then.

>That is one of the most colorful spellcards. Shiny! Of course it being hard on the eyes for Sakuya isn't much considering that you've been the inside of a star before.
>Of course, you were never that nutty. Definitely not. Nope. No plans on consuming everything in nuclear fusion powers.
>You're focusing more on the danmaku itself than the target. Where is she?
>As Flandre stops her spellcard, you see that the spot where the unnamed youkai was occupying is now empty. Did she disappear? How? What? When?
>_

>Sakuya - ...Well, not entirely rational, but at least it's an improvement.
>Well, we'll see if she's got any will to fight after this. She probably won't though. We'll just not look at it directly.

>Where did she pick up that sort of babbling, anyway? The only contact she's had outside of the basement was with Marisa and Reimu.
>You'll have to have a talk with Patchouli about Flandre's accepted reading material later.
>For some reason, Flandre has stopped her spellcard. You hadn't noticed it, but the youkai is gone now. How did she flee?
>Then you notice a door. There's a sign on it.
Emergency Exit
Reminder to self: magic this away when they're not looking.
>You realize that now that since you know the youkai's gender, you can legitimately say that "Quantum geography is a [word that has the technical definition of 'female dog']."
>Well, as long as you don't take your eyes off the door, it should stay there.

>Flandre - Staaaaaaare~
>Then headtilt adorably. "Hey, where'd she goooo~? Did I really go ooooverboaaaard~? Hee-hee~"
>...Eh? Sakuya's taking us somewhere! Whee~!

>Okuu - Wooooow...She's AWESOME! We need to get a chibi of her too!
>....Wonder if there's a chibi of that weirdo from before?
>Uwah?! Why's the maid dragging us- Oh, that's convenient!

>Sakuya - Well, let's head for the emergency exit, and drag the other two along. But make sure to not look away from it.

[LaserTurtle]

>Flandre - Staaaaaaare~
>Then headtilt adorably. "Hey, where'd she goooo~? Did I really go ooooverboaaaard~? Hee-hee~"
>...Eh? Sakuya's taking us somewhere! Whee~!

>Headtilting adorably is a redundancy. Headtilting is always adorable.
>Creepy-cuteness aside, you're actually wondering where she went. It's not as if there's an emergency exit - ohhh.
>So that's where Sakuya is dragging you!
>_

>Okuu - Wooooow...She's AWESOME! We need to get a chibi of her too!
>....Wonder if there's a chibi of that weirdo from before?
>Uwah?! Why's the maid dragging us- Oh, that's convenient!

>Flandre is the awesomest vampire ever. You don't think Satori would take too kindly to a Chibi Flandre around the house, though.
>At _________, the unnamed quantum geography youkai is toying with the idea of making mini-hers. She settles on having a personal assistant chibi, but doesn't make any more.
>UNHAND ME, TIME-STOPPING MAID! Oh wait, she's dragging you towards an exit.
>_

>Sakuya - Well, let's head for the emergency exit, and drag the other two along. But make sure to not look away from it.

>"Hey, where'd she goooo~? Did I really go ooooverboaaaard~? Hee-hee~"
>You swear Flandre's doing it on purpose, now.
>Whether it's on purpose or not doesn't matter right now. You grab the two fools and drag them out the emergency exit...
>And end up right where you started. That was almost completely a waste of time.
>Well, since you can't seem to get to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, where will you go instead?
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - Perhaps it's time we go visit Reimu, this qualifies as an Incident after all. Naturally, we'll bring those two goofballs along.

>Flandre - Sit on Okuu's shoulders. 'cuz who needs flight when you've got an awesome bird-girl for a friend? Those tengu are totally fail in comparison~!
>"Hey, let's go~! Whee! Off to find that weirdo~!"
>...Eh? Sakuya's going somewhere? We'd better follow and make sure nothing happens to her! Hi-ho Okuu, Away~!

>Okuu - Heehee, Satori-sama never let us do this with her~!
>Oh, we're following the maid? Well, let's go!

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Perhaps it's time we go visit Reimu, this qualifies as an Incident after all. Naturally, we'll bring those two goofballs along.

>Of course. You can't just leave them to do whatever they want. Destination: Hakurei Shrine.
>Is Flandre sitting on Utsuho's shoulders?
>Well, at least they're still following you.
>Wait...
>Where did they fly off to, now?
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - Sit on Okuu's shoulders. 'cuz who needs flight when you've got an awesome bird-girl for a friend? Those tengu are totally fail in comparison~!
>"Hey, let's go~! Whee! Off to find that weirdo~!"

>Shoulder-rides for all the insane little vampires! You don't need to fly if someone is flying for you!
>You just have the best ideas ever!

>...Eh? Sakuya's going somewhere? We'd better follow and make sure nothing happens to her! Hi-ho Okuu, Away~!

>You command your noble steed to follow the maid of time manipulation as she heads towards a destination unknown. You can't just leave her alone; who knows what trouble she'd get into?
>So, it's the Hakurei Shrine that Sakuya is headed towards?
>Wait.
>You have a new best idea ever.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - Heehee, Satori-sama never let us do this with her~!
>Oh, we're following the maid? Well, let's go!

>Flandre is so much fun to be around! Maybe you'll start carrying Satori around like this!
>In the Palace of Earth Spirits, Satori feels a chill go down her spine. Utsuho must be thinking of something to do with her.
>What's Flandre telling you?
>"Hey, Utsuho, maybe we can get to the Hakurei Shrine before Sakuya can!"
>You're definitely sure that you can! Hyperspeed Okuu, away!
>You fly for a couple of minutes at max speed before realizing that you have no idea where the Hakurei Shrine is.
>Whoops.
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - Timestop, and track those two down.
>"There you two are. Now, do stick close."
>Those two would get in so much trouble without us keeping an eye on them.

>Flandre - "Buh-whuh? Oh, Hee-hee~ Sakuya's timestop, silly us~!"
>Oh well, it was fun while it lasted~
>Besides, Sakuya'd get in so much trouble without us keeping an eye on her.

>Okuu - "...Geh?! A Maid?!"
>...Wait, we aren't a kappa, why are we saying this? Oh well, we should really stay closer to her.

>All - Let's make for the shrine, with Sakuya on lead!

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Timestop, and track those two down.
>"There you two are. Now, do stick close."
>Those two would get in so much trouble without us keeping an eye on them.

>It takes you the better part of an instant, but you manage to track the two clowns down.
>"No more racing ahead, especially if you don't know your destination."
>It doesn't really matter whether you keep an eye on them or not. They'll manage to get into trouble somehow, no matter what.
Flandre:

>Flandre - "Buh-whuh? Oh, Hee-hee~ Sakuya's timestop, silly us~!"
>Oh well, it was fun while it lasted~
>Besides, Sakuya'd get in so much trouble without us keeping an eye on her.

>Sakuya's timestop is so useful! She can do anything with it!
>Of course, you still are on Utsuho's shoulders. No timestop will ever get you off.
>You still don't get why Sakuya goes anywhere without supervision. Last time she did that, she ended up fighting a celestial!
>And she says you get into a lot of trouble.
Utsuho:

>Okuu - "...Geh?! A Maid?!"
>...Wait, we aren't a kappa, why are we saying this? Oh well, we should really stay closer to her.

>Sakuya is the reasonable one, Satori said! This means she's the leader and you gotta follow her!
>Of course, if something is more fun than following her, you're going to do it. This is an adventure, not a supervised field trip.
>Back at her workshop, Nitori suddenly feels like she forgot to say something about maids.

>All - Let's make for the shrine, with Sakuya on lead!

TIMESKIP!>You are Sakuya Izayoi, and you did not expect that you would make it to the Hakurei Shrine without incident.
>Flandre and Utsuho are being surprisingly well-behaved, too.
>You've got a bad feeling about this.
>Yup. There it is. Flandre blasts through the wall of the Hakurei Shrine, triggering an alarm.
>Everyone is being bombarded by persuasion needles. Well, at least they're not homing.
>They still hurt. Ow ow ow.
>"Oh, it's just you guys. Chibi Reimus, hold your fire!"
>Reimu saves the day, even when she's not solving incidents. That is some serious skill.
>_
>You are Utsuho Reiuji, and you weren't aware that shrine walls broke so easily.
>By the look on her face, Flandre didn't know that, either. She's set off the alarm and now
>OWOWOWOWOWOW WHY?
>You are being hit by barrages of persuasion needles. They cause painful pain.
>You weren't even responsible for anything, this time!
>"Oh, it's just you guys. Chibi Reimus, hold your fire!"
>Why is that shrine maiden so good at beating up people? You hurt all over.
>_
>You are Flandre Scarlet, and you had no idea that dynamic entries could be turned against you.
>Sure, you wanted to crash through the wall and give Reimu a tacklehug, but she wasn't there!
>And you set off an alarm. That wasn't good, especially when the persuasion needles came flying in.
>There's no time to react, and you briefly wonder how the needles are supposed to persuade people as you continue to be hit from all directions.
>"Oh, it's just you guys. Chibi Reimus, hold your fire!"
>Reimu is such a nice person! You want to make up for the failed tacklehug, but she's still holding some persuasion needles,
>Tacklehugs will have to wait. Why did you guys even visit Reimu, again?
>_
