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

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Owwie...I just wanted to give you a hug..."
>Sulk a little.
>"You too Okuu? I kinda wondered about that too!"
>Sakuya's talking about that weirdo isn't she? "Yeah! I wanna punch her in the face!

>Okuu - ".....Ow."
>Yup, hurts just as much as the last time.
>"Y'know, I always wondered why they're called Persuasion Needles."
>Nod. "In the face!"
>...We aren't a parrot, why are we talking like this?

>Sakuya. - Sigh. "We came to let you know there's yet another Incident going on. We ran into the Culprit earlier, but she managed to slip away from us. Apparnetly the cause of all of Gensokyo's geography being as strange as it has been today is due to her, the Youkai of Quantum geography."

[LaserTurtle]

Flandre:

>Flandre - "Owwie...I just wanted to give you a hug..."
>Sulk a little.

>Reimu looks at you and sighs. "No tacklehugs. I need to stay a professional shrine maiden."
>Sakuya raises an eyebrow. "I'm sure the frequent visits made by Remilia and others are well within professional shrine maiden boundaries."
>"_{Ouch, sarcasm.} It wouldn't be that far off. I'm sure Yukari's fooling around with those boundaries."
>"Y'know, I always wondered why they're called Persuasion Needles," Utsuho muses to herself.

>"You too Okuu? I kinda wondered about that too!"

>"Those needles aren't convincing at all!"
>What is Sakuya talking to Reimu about? Something about incidents and a youkai...

>Sakuya's talking about that weirdo isn't she? "Yeah! I wanna punch her in the face!

>Reimu pets you on the head. "Don't worry. If what Sakuya says is true, I'll punch her in the face for you. Nice new outfit, by the way."
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - ".....Ow."
>Yup, hurts just as much as the last time.
>"Y'know, I always wondered why they're called Persuasion Needles."

>Reimu's weapons always hurt. A lot.
>Flandre looks at you. "You too Okuu? I kinda wondered about that too!"
>You nod. "Those needles aren't convincing at all!"
>You'd ask Reimu about it, but she's talking with Sakuya about incidents.
>Flandre interrupts them, "Yeah! I wanna punch her in the face!"

>Nod. "In the face!"
>...We aren't a parrot, why are we talking like this?

>Reimu turns to you. "Your new outfit is ridiculous. Good job. All you need now is a fancy hat."
>You remember wanting to be a parrot for part of your life. It drove Satori so crazy that she actually used mind manipulation to stop that urge.
>_
Sakuya:
>Reimu smiles at you. "Sorry about that. I'm on the lookout for any intruders, especially considering how many times my shrine has already been destroyed."

>Sakuya. - Sigh. "We came to let you know there's yet another Incident going on. We ran into the Culprit earlier, but she managed to slip away from us. Apparnetly the cause of all of Gensokyo's geography being as strange as it has been today is due to her, the Youkai of Quantum geography."

>Flandre and Utsuho jump into the conversation, and Reimu gives both of them criticism on their outfits.
>"So, Reimu, what are you going to do about this?" You ask her.
>"I guess I'll have to go out and solve this incident. Do you think I'd be more successful following you guys?"
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - Nod. "We were looking for the culprit anyways, so you likely will have better luck. Nevermind that we could use another person with some measure of common sense."
>Hmm...Perhaps that box has a better Miko Uniform for her....Hmm...Perhaps something with a butterfly theme...
>Come to think of it, designing everyone's fashion is yet another job of ours, isn't it?

>Flandre - Whoooa...It isn't every day Reimu praises us! Maybe she'll even tag along! "Hee-hee~ I used a spellcard, booooom~! And then she ran away, zoooom~!"
>Sigh. "I wanted to keep playing too...But then she ran off...I didn't even use something as crazy as Ripples, It was just Starbow Break...Hey, even you could beat that one, and you're just human..." Sulk just a teensy bit.

>Okuu - Fistcontrolrod! "...Maybe that box has a new hat too!"
>...She was being serious about that hat remark, right? Sarcasm was always a problem for us, we never could get an handle on it.
>"...But how do you put a handle on a concept...?"

[LaserTurtle]

Flandre:

>Flandre - Whoooa...It isn't every day Reimu praises us! Maybe she'll even tag along! "Hee-hee~ I used a spellcard, booooom~! And then she ran away, zoooom~!"
>Sigh. "I wanted to keep playing too...But then she ran off...I didn't even use something as crazy as Ripples, It was just Starbow Break...Hey, even you could beat that one, and you're just human..." Sulk just a teensy bit.

>Reimu stops petting your head.
>"See, Flandre? That's creepy. That's why you're kept in the basement most of the time, " Reimu chides you.
>You have no idea what she's talking about. You're just being normal!
>Reimu goes out to get her Yin Yang Orbs. When she comes back, Sakuya drops a bunch of clothes on you.
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Nod. "We were looking for the culprit anyways, so you likely will have better luck. Nevermind that we could use another person with some measure of common sense."
>Hmm...Perhaps that box has a better Miko Uniform for her....Hmm...Perhaps something with a butterfly theme...
>Come to think of it, designing everyone's fashion is yet another job of ours, isn't it?

>"Right, lemme get my Yin-Yang Orbs..." Reimu heads into another room. She comes back in time to catch the tail end of your musing.
>"What box?" Reimu asks curiously.
>"Oh, just something Nitori sold us." You pull the box out in demonstration.
>Whoops. You must have put it in upside down, and now there's a giant pile of clothes on the floor.
>Well, now, you can't just leave that pile of clothes there! Especially since you think that Flandre is hidden under it somewhere.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - Fistcontrolrod! "...Maybe that box has a new hat too!"
>...She was being serious about that hat remark, right? Sarcasm was always a problem for us, we never could get an handle on it.
>"...But how do you put a handle on a concept...?"

>Yup, you can clearly see hats in that pile of clothing Sakuya left there. She's so clumsy!
>Now seems like a good as a time as any to pick out a hat. Should you?
>Reimu looks at you. "You don't put actual handles on concepts. How'd you get on that train of thought?"
>There's another thing. Trains already have handles, so do you still need to put handles on one?
>Idioms are confusing.
>_

[Raitaki]

> Sakuya: Waaaait a second, we and Utsuho didn't say anything. How did Reimu respond to those thoughts?

[Hanzo K.]

>Okuu - "...This stuff's hard. Like rocks, or old cookies. There's something sad about an uneaten cookie."
>Hmmm....Ah! We'll pick out a hat like those guys in the old western movies wear! We're wearing a bunch of ponchos and stuff, so we gotta have the hat to go with it!

>Flandre - Hey! We'll just dig our way out! "Bleh! So many clothes!"
>Hover around while looking at all the CReimu. "They're all pretty cute y'know! Wonder if you were this cute as a kid~?"

>Sakuya - Oh dear. At least she's dug her way out.
>We'll just timestop, and clean up the mess by putting it back in the box. But we'll not put Flan in, Mistress Remilia would be quite cross if we did that.

[LaserTurtle]

Utsuho:

>Okuu - "...This stuff's hard. Like rocks, or old cookies. There's something sad about an uneaten cookie."
>Hmmm....Ah! We'll pick out a hat like those guys in the old western movies wear! We're wearing a bunch of ponchos and stuff, so we gotta have the hat to go with it!

>Reimu mumbles to herself. "It would be nice if I even had cookies. Nobody nearby knows how to bake them..."
>Here's a good one! That shade of yellow reminds you of warning signs.
>NICE HAT obtained!
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - Hey! We'll just dig our way out! "Bleh! So many clothes!"
>Hover around while looking at all the CReimu. "They're all pretty cute y'know! Wonder if you were this cute as a kid~?"

>Your superhuman vampiric powers aid you as you mine a tunnel out of the mountain of clothes.
>There are Chibi Reimus everywhere. They all look like miniature, cuter versions of the current Reimu, though.
>"Actually, I didn't really look like that at all when I was a kid," Reimu tells you. "I won't tell you anything else except that I had purple hair for some reason. I don't really know why, so don't ask."
>_

>Sakuya - Oh dear. At least she's dug her way out.
>We'll just timestop, and clean up the mess by putting it back in the box. But we'll not put Flan in, Mistress Remilia would be quite cross if we did that.

>Flandre looks surprised as the entire pile of clothes vanishes under the influence of your time manipulation.
>Strangely enough, Flandre's outfit was changed when she was under the pile of clothes. Huh. You don't think she's noticed.
>Of course, you wouldn't do anything clumsy, least of all put Flandre into a box like that. You've never done anything clumsy.
>...The whole box of clothes fiasco doesn't count. You were expecting it to be right side up.

> Sakuya: Waaaait a second, we and Utsuho didn't say anything. How did Reimu respond to those thoughts?

>Reimu smiles. "Sorry about that. I was just trying out this mind reading charm that I made. It seems to only work sporadically, though."
>At least she's less paranoid than Satori.
>Down in the Palace of Earth Spirits, Satori feels like someone's just mentioned her name. Thankfully for you, she can't read minds from long distances, or she would be quite offended by that comment.
>Reimu tosses the charm aside. "Well, where shall we go to?"
>Good question. Do you even have a destination in mind?
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - Hm. Perhaps the Mistress would do with having an outfit like that as well.
>"Well, I simply hope it won't cause you to have any trouble if it manages to read the little sister's mind."
>"And as for cookies, I'm certain Patchouli has a cookbook that we can loan you. Baked goods tend to taste better if you've put in the effort yourself. So the next destination is visiting the mansion, and hoping the Quantum Geography doesn't cause any obstructions."

>Flandre - ...Hey! We got a new outfit?
>....It's pretty comfy~ "Purple Hair? Can't say I can imagine you with that kinda haircolor~!"
>"Oh yeah, I was wantin' to see big sis too anyhow!"

>Okuu - Hell yeah new headgear. "Whoo~ New hat~!"
>Whoa, the kid got a new outfit in there? ...Awww, pile's gone. Oh well.

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Hm. Perhaps the Mistress would do with having an outfit like that as well.
>"Well, I simply hope it won't cause you to have any trouble if it manages to read the little sister's mind."
>"And as for cookies, I'm certain Patchouli has a cookbook that we can loan you. Baked goods tend to taste better if you've put in the effort yourself. So the next destination is visiting the mansion, and hoping the Quantum Geography doesn't cause any obstructions."

>You're sure the two sisters would match each other nicely.
>Reimu sighs. "I wouldn't want to try that, anyway. Either way, I tossed that charm. Nobody would want to buy it anyway."
>"_{You weren't supposed to hear that but} I guess you're treating me to cookies after this incident, then?"
>She has completely ignored your advice about baking things herself. Of course.
>Back in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the Chibi Koakumas have developed a taste for books. Patchouli is fending them off with the help of Koakuma and an army of Chibi Patchoulis.
>Reimu's talking with Flandre again. You have to say, human interaction does wonders for Flandre's sanity.
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - ...Hey! We got a new outfit?
>....It's pretty comfy~ "Purple Hair? Can't say I can imagine you with that kinda haircolor~!"
>"Oh yeah, I was wantin' to see big sis too anyhow!"

>This outfit is comfy and stylish. You have to say, you look pretty cool in it.
>Besides, purple is a youkai hair color, not a shrine maiden one.
>Reimu nods. "Looking back, I did seem pretty weird. Anyway, judging by the situation you're in, you won't be visiting the Scarlet Devil Mansion for a -"
>She suddenly cuts off her sentence, motioning everyone to be silent.
>"Chibi Squad A, go out there and scout for intruders. Raise the alarm if you find any; I don't want another wall broken."
>She glares at you when she says that. It's not entirely your fault that the wall broke, though! Some of the blame has to be placed on shoddy construction!
>Besides, Yukari's place is much worse off, last time you visited.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - Hell yeah new headgear. "Whoo~ New hat~!"
>Whoa, the kid got a new outfit in there? ...Awww, pile's gone. Oh well.

>New hat! New hat! Wait, why's everyone all silent all of a sudden?
>Whoa! Flandre's looking pretty gangsta swag ...you don't know what to call it, but she looks like it!
>And that's when another alarm is raised.
>"Chibi Squads B and D, back them up! Squad C, bring back the injured and fainted for medical care by Squad E!" Reimu commands her army.
>A peek outside the window ruined wall shows you that there is an army of chibis headed right towards you. You can't make out anything except for a ridiculous witch hat on all of them.
>Wait, ridiculous witch hat?
>Oh no.
>It's her.
>Better brace yourself for a giant laser, just in case.
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Okuu - "Umm...hey guys? The Black-White's coming."
>Oh this is gonna suuuuuuck.

>Flandre - "Marisa? Yay~! I was gonna see about visiting her too~!"

>Sakuya - Sigh. "I was meaning for you to learn how to bake them yourself, but fine. Let's take care of this first."
>Well, let's keep on standby, since it seems that Marisa's raised her own army, much like Reimu has.

[LaserTurtle]

Utsuho:

>Okuu - "Umm...hey guys? The Black-White's coming."
>Oh this is gonna suuuuuuck.

>Reimu groans. "Oh, great. She's charging up a Master Spark, too, isn't she?"
>She perks up. "Actually, I want to try something! All squads, cover the shrine! I mean that literally!"
>That has got to be the weirdest command ever. You are now covered from head to toe in Chibi Reimus.
>What is Reimu planning?
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - "Marisa? Yay~! I was gonna see about visiting her too~!"

>Unfortunately, you only manage to say "Marisa? Yay~! I was go -" before you are completely covered by a layer of Chibi Reimus.
>What.
>WHAT.
>WHAT.
>It's like the facehugging Chibi Remilia except for worse.
>Reimu issues one final command. "All right! Everyone, Extra-Stage bomb at my command!"
>Oh. So that's what she's going to do.
>You sure hope it works, because otherwise you're going to get a face full of Master Spark.
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Sigh. "I was meaning for you to learn how to bake them yourself, but fine. Let's take care of this first."
>Well, let's keep on standby, since it seems that Marisa's raised her own army, much like Reimu has.

>You can't even open your mouth, because Reimu has commanded all her Chibi Reimus to cover everything.
>Then, they all float away from reality at the same time, carrying you, Flandre, Utsuho, and the entire Hakurei Shrine with them. Reimu follows suit.
>It's a strange experience, especially because of the hundreds of Master Sparks flying straight through you.
>After the giant lasers have died down, Reimu and her chibis return everything to where it originally was.
>Reimu is yelling at Marisa. "Why doesn't anyone knock around here? Can't a simple 'hello' suffice?"
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Bluh. That felt funny."
>Tacklehug Marisa! Ah, but not too powerfully. We remember what happened when we tacklehugged a fairy at full power.
>"Hiiiii~!"

>Sakuya - "Well, that was...interesting."
>If the chibis can do something like this, then...Patchouli will be quite interested in researching them.

>Okuu - "...I feel all tingly'n'stuff."

[LaserTurtle]

Flandre:

>Flandre - "Bluh. That felt funny."
>Tacklehug Marisa! Ah, but not too powerfully. We remember what happened when we tacklehugged a fairy at full power.
>"Hiiiii~!"

>It felt like the color red was invading your personal space. Not cool.
>Oh, yeah! It's Marisa!
>You tacklehug her. At 35% power. You're sure she can take it.
>...never mind. She can't. You now have an unconscious Marisa.
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - "Well, that was...interesting."
>If the chibis can do something like this, then...Patchouli will be quite interested in researching them.

>Reimu fistpumps as Flandre flies off to greet Marisa. "Woo! It worked!"
>Patchouli is using her army of Chibi Patchoulis to create hundreds of Philosopher's Stones. Why? For science magical research!
>Oh, Flandre knocked Marisa out.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - "...I feel all tingly'n'stuff."

>That was not a pleasant sensation. You feel like your boiled egg has disappeared.
>Looking around, you notice that one of the Chibi Reimus is munching on your boiled egg.
>How'd it get that? More importantly, how are you going to get your boiled egg back?
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Awww....she didn't pass out last time I hugged her like this..."
>Let's poke at her a bit, maybe tickle her a little too.
>"Waaaakey waaaakey Maaaarisaaaa~!"

>Sakuya - Sigh. "At least she isn't destroying things, which is good."

>Okuu - Hey, didn't we already eat that egg?
>"Aw man...."

[LaserTurtle]

Flandre:

>Flandre - "Awww....she didn't pass out last time I hugged her like this..."
>Let's poke at her a bit, maybe tickle her a little too.
>"Waaaakey waaaakey Maaaarisaaaa~!"

>You're sure she can't be that weak!
>There's no response to your actions. Hmph.
>Well, then Marisa can just stay unconscious!
>You get off her and turn around when someone taps you on the shoulder.
>"Boo!" yells Marisa.
>Huh? What? AAAH!
>"Aw, man! That was worth learning how to fake unconsciousness for!" laughs Marisa.
>She's a big meanie.
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Sigh. "At least she isn't destroying things, which is good."

>Reimu is chuckling. "Well, Marisa sure surprised me!"
>Kogasa suddenly shouts out, "That witch stole my job!" All the rabbits at Eientei stare at the tied-up umbrella.
>You feel like you've forgotten what you came here to do.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - Hey, didn't we already eat that egg?
>"Aw man...."

>You did eat that egg! You remember because it tasted delicious. Why has it disappeared from your stomach?
>Reimu notices the chibi eating the egg and grins. "The 'steal food from other people's stomachs' charm is a success!"
>Sakuya is not amused. "Where do you even get your ideas for charms?"
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Okuu - Frown. "If you wanted food, you shouldn't go stealin' it! Even a birdbrain like me knows that much! You oughta just ask."
>Nod in what we assume to be a wise manner. "That's just common sense."

>Sakuya - "For once, the bird has a point. If you wanted food, all you had to do was ask. I'm certain that there's books Patchouli has that can teach you how to cook for yourself. And there's always the Misty Lake that you can fish at, I myself being rather partial to doing so."
>Sigh. "At any rate, we can jump those hurdles once things are resolved. I'd be happy to teach you the finer points of fishing afterwards. I suppose we should drag Marisa along as well in that case, it's the best way to keep an eye on her."

>Flandre - "Hey! That wasn't very nice y'know! I thought I'd knocked you out!"
>Frown. "You had me worried you lost your touch, y'know?"
>Aw, we can't stay mad at Marisa for TOO long, let's give her another tacklehug! This time we'll make sure it ends up just like those tacklehugs that the stuffed tiger does in that book about the boy and his stuffed bear!

[LaserTurtle]

Utsuho:

>Okuu - Frown. "If you wanted food, you shouldn't go stealin' it! Even a birdbrain like me knows that much! You oughta just ask."
>Nod in what we assume to be a wise manner. "That's just common sense."

>Reimu's rebuttal actually is a little convincing. "Well, did you have another egg?"
>"No, but..."
>"If you did, would you give me it if I asked?"
>"I guess not, but still..."
>"Exactly! I wouldn't have gotten an egg if I asked, but this way I have one!" Reimu announces triumphantly, snatching the egg from the chibi.
>You thought Reimu was supposed to be the one with common sense.
>_
Sakuya:

>Sakuya - "For once, the bird has a point. If you wanted food, all you had to do was ask. I'm certain that there's books Patchouli has that can teach you how to cook for yourself. And there's always the Misty Lake that you can fish at, I myself being rather partial to doing so."
>Sigh. "At any rate, we can jump those hurdles once things are resolved. I'd be happy to teach you the finer points of fishing afterwards. I suppose we should drag Marisa along as well in that case, it's the best way to keep an eye on her."

>"But all Patchouli has are gourmet cook books! The ones that require fancy cooking stuff that needs outside world technology. Besides, whenever I even go near Misty Lake, I'm swarmed by fairies who want to beat me."
>Reimu can be impossible to reason with sometimes. As for Marisa, Flandre is doing a good job of keeping her occupied.
>Ooh, that tacklehug knocked her a couple of yards, at least.
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - "Hey! That wasn't very nice y'know! I thought I'd knocked you out!"
>Frown. "You had me worried you lost your touch, y'know?"
>Aw, we can't stay mad at Marisa for TOO long, let's give her another tacklehug! This time we'll make sure it ends up just like those tacklehugs that the stuffed tiger does in that book about the boy and his stuffed bear!

>"I've withstood your tacklehugs before, why wouldn't I this time?" Marisa grins. "I'm not going to be losing my touch for a while!"
>You next tacklehug focuses on forward velocity, and you knock Marisa back a few yards, then roll a few feet until you are sitting on top of Marisa. Woo!
>Hey, maybe Marisa can join you! She's a famous incident solver!
>_

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Utsuho: "Give me that back!"
>Sakuya: Better stop this now. Stop time and take the egg from Reimu, then give it back to Utsuho.
>"If you can make a charm to take food that's already been eaten, surely you can come up with something that'll help you obtain food without committing a very bizarre act of theft."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - "And another thing, you could easily just cordon off the lake for a short time with those barriers you're so proud of."
>Fistpalm. "Ah, perhaps you could even make a business out of that, cordoning off the lake so others can fish there without incident."

>Flandre - "Heehee~! Wanna come with us? We're gonna find that Youkai who's makin' gensokyo go all weird and beat 'er up~!"
>Ooh! Maybe that box has a new outfit for Marisa too! We'll have to ask Sakuya to take it out soon.

>Okuu - "Man...I almost lost you there little eggy...Down the hatch!"

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya: Better stop this now. Stop time and take the egg from Reimu, then give it back to Utsuho.
>"If you can make a charm to take food that's already been eaten, surely you can come up with something that'll help you obtain food without committing a very bizarre act of theft."

>"But I like experimenting with charms! Besides, with Yukari's random visits, I can't use my 'luck in finding food' charm without her gapping all of it away."

>Sakuya - "And another thing, you could easily just cordon off the lake for a short time with those barriers you're so proud of."
>Fistpalm. "Ah, perhaps you could even make a business out of that, cordoning off the lake so others can fish there without incident."

>"Yeah, but then I have to maintain the barrier constantly. I can't fish while I do that, and nobody visits my shrine enough to start a business. I blame all you incident people for that, by the way."
>Come to think of it, what happened to the oni living at the shrine? You ask Reimu about it.
>"Oh, shoot. I must have forgotten to protect Suika from the Master Spark barrage," Reimu realizes. She shrugs. "I'm sure she's fine, wherever she is."
>Reimu somehow manages to be more impossible to reason with than Marisa. You're getting nowhere trying to convince her to do work.
>_
Utsuho:

>Utsuho: "Give me that back!"

>You make a grab for the egg, but Sakuya takes it using her time-stopping powers. Have you mentioned how cool it is that Sakuya can stop time?
>She gives it to you. Yay!

>Okuu - "Man...I almost lost you there little eggy...Down the hatch!"

>You eat it. It tastes just as delicious as the first time.
>Whatever everyone else is doing doesn't matter. You have your egg and all is right with the world!
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - "Heehee~! Wanna come with us? We're gonna find that Youkai who's makin' gensokyo go all weird and beat 'er up~!"
>Ooh! Maybe that box has a new outfit for Marisa too! We'll have to ask Sakuya to take it out soon.

>"Another incident? Count me in!" Marisa seems excited by this news. "Nice outfit, by the way. Where'd you get it?"
>You drag Marisa to Sakuya. "Sakuya has this huge box of outfits! There's everything in there!"
>Sakuya overhears you and hands you the box of clothes, which you give to Marisa.
>Marisa... hops inside the box? When she climbs back out, she's wearing this.
>That is one cool outfit.
>"Wow, you weren't kidding when you said there was everything in it! Anyway, outfits aside, what am I supposed to do with all these chibis?"
>"Put them on patrol," Reimu suggests, "Or use them in spellcards. Either one works. They can do pretty much anything you can."
>Marisa grins. "Nice. I'll have to remember that. So, are we going to head out to find this youkai?"
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Heehee~! Yup~! I don't get it though, she can't be that strong if she ran off after Starbow Break...Even you and Reimu could beat that card real easy!
>Sigh. "She's got the power of all that quantum stuff that makes Gensokyo so weird, but she's not using it right! She should...Uh, I dunno, make herself a bouncy hut thingy! I read about those in some of Patchy's books y'know!"

>Okuu - Eggy-egg~ "Hm-hm-hm~♪ Eggy~♪"

>Sakuya - "Well, you could put flyers out at the village I suppose. And perhaps instead of paying you, they leave one fish of their catch with you. That way others can fish safely, and you only need to maintain a barrier for the scheduled fishing times."
>Sigh. We'll get a headache at this rate. "At any rate, perhaps you should find yourself a new outfit in that box before we leave to resolve things. I've refrained from doing so simply because this outfit is more efficient."

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya - "Well, you could put flyers out at the village I suppose. And perhaps instead of paying you, they leave one fish of their catch with you. That way others can fish safely, and you only need to maintain a barrier for the scheduled fishing times."
>Sigh. We'll get a headache at this rate. "At any rate, perhaps you should find yourself a new outfit in that box before we leave to resolve things. I've refrained from doing so simply because this outfit is more efficient."

>"And leave the shrine open for another incident to destroy it? No, thanks. Anyway, I like my outfit as it is. It's practically my signature look."
>Reimu gets up, and ready to go. What destination do you have in mind?
>_
Ustuho:

>Okuu - Eggy-egg~ "Hm-hm-hm~♪ Eggy~♪"

>Eggs are so good, you used to think that only nuclear fusion could make them better.
>Then it turned out that some electromagnetic waves make eggs explode. You had to clean stains off the walls for weeks.
>Now you think that eggs don't need any nuclear fusion to be great.
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - "Heehee~! Yup~! I don't get it though, she can't be that strong if she ran off after Starbow Break...Even you and Reimu could beat that card real easy!
>Sigh. "She's got the power of all that quantum stuff that makes Gensokyo so weird, but she's not using it right! She should...Uh, I dunno, make herself a bouncy hut thingy! I read about those in some of Patchy's books y'know!"

>"Yeah, but we're probably better than most youkai under the spellcard rules," Marisa says. "Wait, Patchy has books on bouncy huts? That's going to be the next one to take!"
>Back in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Patchouli has the sudden urge to get all of the use that she can out of her book concerning magical bouncy hut spells.

>Sakuya: "Reimu, if you can make a charm to take and restore food that has already been eaten, surely you can come up with a charm to steal back stolen food. Surely that would be easier then un-digesting it. Or you could just make an anti-gap charm."

[Hanzo K.]

>Flandre - "Whee!"
>...Maybe we oughta find another new outfit again! ...Nah, we'll wait until we get Big Sis to come along~!
>"Yeah, don't drink any chibi blood, even I think that's a crazy idea~!"

>Okuu - "And all is right with the world~"
>Well, we're happy, so let's stick with the others~

>Sakuya - "First, we should check the usual suspects that aren't the Mansion. Which would mean the Netherworld, the Youkai Mountain, and that Temple near the village. We've already visited Eientei earlier due to...'complications' involving mushrooms and chibi blood."

Sakuya:

>Sakuya: "Reimu, if you can make a charm to take and restore food that has already been eaten, surely you can come up with a charm to steal back stolen food. Surely that would be easier then un-digesting it. Or you could just make an anti-gap charm."

>"But then Yukari's going to mess with the boundaries of 'gap' and 'opening' or something else that's stupid and still works," Reimu grumbles. "Believe me. I've tried."

>Sakuya - "First, we should check the usual suspects that aren't the Mansion. Which would mean the Netherworld, the Youkai Mountain, and that Temple near the village. We've already visited Eientei earlier due to...'complications' involving mushrooms and chibi blood."

>"I remember that. I was there, remember?" Reimu adjusts her ribbon. "Anyway, let's go to Youkai Mountain." She takes off, and the Chibi Reimus fly off after her.
>...How is Reimu so fast when she never seems to go at anything faster than the flying equivalent of jogging? You fly off after her, and everyone else follows suit.
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - "Whee!"
>...Maybe we oughta find another new outfit again! ...Nah, we'll wait until we get Big Sis to come along~!
>"Yeah, don't drink any chibi blood, even I think that's a crazy idea~!"

>Yelling "whee" whenever you have the urge to is a great idea.
>Of course, considering all the crazy stuff that's happened around the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia is likely stuck inside and unable to get out and explore with you. It's a shame, really. Exploring is fun!
>"I'm not a vampire," Marisa says, "but I'll keep that in mind, anyway."
>She flies off after Sakuya, and you fly off after her.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - "And all is right with the world~"
>Well, we're happy, so let's stick with the others~

>You fly off after the others with your egg securely in your stomach again. Yes. Everything is right in the world.
>Or not. What is a giant tower doing in the way and why does all the wind blow you towards the ground at its entrance?
>You all crash next to the door of the tower. You land on the ground, Flandre lands on top of you, Marisa on her, Sakuya next to you guys (still being composed and elegant), and the Chibi Marisas on top of everyone else.
>Reimu floats down with her chibis after everyone else, sighing. "Looks like there's a change of plans. Shall we go inside?"
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - Sigh as well. "Seems there's nothing for it."
>Smile in that typical menacingly serial killer-ish way that we sometimes do when prospected with dishing out punishments. "We'll just have to punish her extra hard for this."

>Flandre - "Oh boy! When Sakuya smiles like that, there's gonna be a lotta ouch coming!"
>This is gonna be great! Even Sakuya's on board now!

>Okuu - "Oww....somebody get the model number of that cruise missile...?"

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya - Sigh as well. "Seems there's nothing for it."
>Smile in that typical menacingly serial killer-ish way that we sometimes do when prospected with dishing out punishments. "We'll just have to punish her extra hard for this."

>Reimu raises an eyebrow. "Have I ever mentioned how creepy you can be sometimes?"
>Of course, when you enter the tower, Nitori is setting up another shop.
>You could take a look at what she has to offer. You've still got 12,500 G.
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - "Oh boy! When Sakuya smiles like that, there's gonna be a lotta ouch coming!"
>This is gonna be great! Even Sakuya's on board now!

>Marisa laughs nervously. "I sure wouldn't like to be that quantum geography youkai right now."
>The youkai in question sneezes, then goes back to generating death traps in the tower.
>Sakuya is in a hurry a lot for someone who can manipulate time. She's already inside the tower!
>There's a Nitori shop and stairs to the next floor.
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - "Oww....somebody get the model number of that cruise missile...?"

>Reimu grabs you by the shirt collar and drags you through the door. "There was no cruise missile. now hurry up and get in the tower. Everyone else has already entered."
>Hey, it's Nitori again! Hi Nitori! What is she doing here?
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - We may as well check it this time. But we'll go back to our usual expression.
>"Ah, you seem to be everywhere the Quantum Geography acts up. Strange, isn't it?"

>Flandre - Wow...Big tower! "Oh hey, Nitori's here too! She always shows up in places like this, I wonder why?"

>Okuu - "Oh, hi! Got anymore boiled eggs?"

[LaserTurtle]

Sakuya:

>Sakuya - We may as well check it this time. But we'll go back to our usual expression.
>"Ah, you seem to be everywhere the Quantum Geography acts up. Strange, isn't it?"

>Nitori smiles. "It's a talent. Besides, here I can sell my more expensive things!"
>Speaking of selling things, what exactly does she have now?
>Barrel of Bragging Rights - 10,000 G
>Normal Orbs - 300 G each
>Vanilla-Frosted Plot Flakes - 5,000 G
>Instant Medicine Kit (Just add water!) - 1,000 G
>Fresh Water - 50 G each
>Cream-scented Optical Camouflage - 3,000 G
>Train Redirection in a Bottle - 500 G each
> Psychedelic Snowballs - 100 G each
>Decoy in a Can - 500 G each
>...
>Nitori's inventions are getting more and more bizarre. And expensive.
>_
Flandre:

>Flandre - Wow...Big tower! "Oh hey, Nitori's here too! She always shows up in places like this, I wonder why?"

>Nitori winks. "It's a secret."
>How do you bottle a train redirection?
>Marisa whistles with amazement. "Seriously, Nitori, how do you even make these things?"
>_
Utsuho:

>Okuu - "Oh, hi! Got anymore boiled eggs?"

>Nitori shakes her head. "No, but you can sell back your insurance and I'll pay you in boiled eggs."
>Tempting, but you think you might still need the control rod insurance.
>What do Plot Flakes do, and why are they advertised as part of a complete breakfast?
>Reimu stares at the Decoy-in-a-cans. "Do these come in mint-fresh?"
>_

[Hanzo K.]

>Sakuya - "Because this is the final dungeon I assume? This just means we're close to resolving things."
>Let's examine the Plot Flakes, since Utsuho seems to be bemused by them. We'll look into the Bottled Train Redirection as well.

>Flandre - "Wow...Hey, have you ever made anything that soft and fluffy, but completely indestructible? I kinda break a lot of my toys...Oh! But I don't try to! It just happens.."
>It's not our fault people keep making toys that break too easily, they should use better stuff to make 'em!

>Okuu - "Ooooh...I do want eggs, but I kinda need the insurance too......"
>...Fnzaah! On the one hand, we won't have to worry about our control rod. But on the other hand, delicious, delicious eggs....
>Proceed to stare blankly like we just had a minor brainfreeze. Because, y'know, we kinda did.
