>Hina - "Oh, just doing my job, gathering Misfortune~ Spiiin~! Spinning's a good way to disperse your misfortune y'know~!"
>Let's get to work~!

>Flandre - ...Aha! Here it is, that really neat one we never really felt fit with the rest! That weird crystal that fell from the sky! We were gonna try finding another one eventually, but maybe Chiri can help make more!
>Let's head back up to the others!
>Remilia - Sigh. So much repairwork to do...Eh? Why'd she get that weird crystal? Well, she can't make things any worse than they already are...Can she?

>Sakuya - "Well, now that that's been settled, Let's get prepared to begin cleaning up. Mini-Maid Squad, form up!"
>Meiling - Wow...They're so obedient! ...Wait, why's some of the little versions of us mixed in?
>...Guess this means we'd look good in a maid outfit too? ...Nah, ain't our style!

>Mima - "Man, what a wild party, eh Yuuka? Kinda makes you miss the old days, eh?"
>Yuuka - Sigh nostalgically. "Indeed...But, just watching the younger generation have their fun just as we did is enjoyable too."

>Chiri - "Technically though, I mess around with the 'Quantum Geography'. To put it simply, you don't really know what's on the other side of a hill, it could be a village, a cave, or even a treasure chest. I mess around with that, and make whatever I want from that unknown space. It's how I made that Fountain that alters ages. I guess it's perception-based?"
>Patchouli - "Interesting..."
>Reimu - ...Wonder if she can make food too?
>Satori - "She might be able to, Reimu."
>Yukari - "Ahaha! She must be thinking about food again~"
>Yuyuko - Join in the laughter! It's contagious after all~!

>Ran - Phew...Looks like things finally cooled off...
>Chen - Wow....That was AWESOME!

>Okuu - "Unyu? What happened here? It looks like an Oni party happened."

The party will end... eventually:
>Hina - "Oh, just doing my job, gathering Misfortune~ Spiiin~! Spinning's a good way to disperse your misfortune y'know~!"
>Let's get to work~!
>"Oh," Kogasa says. "Thanks for that! I don't like being unlucky!"
>"Hey," Rin asks, "if you're gathering misfortune, what do you do with it?"
>Hina smiles. "I solidify it. Blocks of misfortune, when they're handled properly, suck up the bad luck around the area. Sometimes people give me faith for a block or two."
>Flandre - ...Aha! Here it is, that really neat one we never really felt fit with the rest! That weird crystal that fell from the sky! We were gonna try finding another one eventually, but maybe Chiri can help make more!
>Let's head back up to the others!
>Remilia - Sigh. So much repairwork to do...Eh? Why'd she get that weird crystal? Well, she can't make things any worse than they already are...Can she?
>Flandre grins to herself, but then realizes she could've tried something else with the shiny rock. Maybe if she replaced a wing crystal with one, then she'd get cat ears! It's worth a shot!
>Well that can wait until later. Right now, Sakuya's cleaning things up, and it would be a bad idea to interfere with Sakuya's cleaning.
>Sakuya - "Well, now that that's been settled, Let's get prepared to begin cleaning up. Mini-Maid Squad, form up!"
>Meiling - Wow...They're so obedient! ...Wait, why's some of the little versions of us mixed in?
>...Guess this means we'd look good in a maid outfit too? ...Nah, ain't our style!
>The final spellcards are either broken or timed out, and the guests start to leave.
>"Say, Sakuya. Why are there mini mes in that mob?" Meiling asks.
>"Huh. I didn't notice that." Sakuya says to herself. "Alright! Chibi Meilings, get to the gate! It's not going to guard itself!"
>Some chibis from the crowd rush out the front door to stand guard.
>Mima - "Man, what a wild party, eh Yuuka? Kinda makes you miss the old days, eh?"
>Yuuka - Sigh nostalgically. "Indeed...But, just watching the younger generation have their fun just as we did is enjoyable too."
>Mima laughs. "I'm surprised that everyone seems to be using spellcards. Who's enforcing them?"
>Yuuka points to the safe zone. "Reimu is. Who did you expect?"
>Marisa wakes up on the ground. "Ugh," she moans, "I've got a killer hangover already..."
>Chiri - "Technically though, I mess around with the 'Quantum Geography'. To put it simply, you don't really know what's on the other side of a hill, it could be a village, a cave, or even a treasure chest. I mess around with that, and make whatever I want from that unknown space. It's how I made that Fountain that alters ages. I guess it's perception-based?"
>Patchouli - "Interesting..."
>Reimu - ...Wonder if she can make food too?
>Satori - "She might be able to, Reimu."
>Yukari - "Ahaha! She must be thinking about food again~"
>Yuyuko - Join in the laughter! It's contagious after all~!
>As Chiri explains how her powers work, Yukari removes the safe zone.
>"What?" Reimu asks defensively. "I'm human! We actually need to eat!"
>Satori stretches. "Well, at any rate, I'm glad the fight's died down."
>Komachi grins. "It was one of the most exciting parties I've been to, but I really should go. Stop by the Sanzu River, sometimes! It gets boring over there!" She steps off, carrying the sleeping Judge of Paradise.
>Ran - Phew...Looks like things finally cooled off...
>Chen - Wow....That was AWESOME!
>Ran glares at Yukari. "You could've helped me out, you know."
>Yukari sips a cup of tea she gapped from the kitchen. "Why? You seem to have been doing fine by yourself."
>Chen's eyes are practically sparkling in amazement.
>Okuu - "Unyu? What happened here? It looks like an Oni party happened."
>Flandre laughs. "No, but you're not that far off from the truth!"
>Utsuho still looks puzzled.

Um... shoot. I can't think of anything to put here.:
>Flandre - "A GENSOKYO PARTY happened~! Danmaku everywhere~!" Fling around a little danmaku to emphasize things!
>Wait, since Chiri probably made those rocks... "Liiiiightbulb!"
>"Chiri! Can you make more of those shiny green rocks that made the chibi me into a catgirl version?"
>Utsuho nods wisely. "Ah. Danmaku. That makes sense."
>Chiri jumps. "Um, I guess I can? Why? Doesn't Sakuya have some already?"
>Remilia - "B'duh!" Nice aim Flan, pegging your own sister in the forehead.
>Oh now what's she thinking? When she says that, it means she's got another zany scheme in mind. The last time she had one of those, we almost had to rebuild the mansion from the foundations up.

Oh yes, that's what it was. Belmonts! "Liiiiightbulb."
>Satori sidles up to Chiri. "Say, would your powers work for house repair?"
>"No, I don't think so. I'd be able to create the raw materials, but I can't change the mansion or the ground it sits on directly..."
>Satori eyes Remilia nervously. "Just wondering."
>Chiri tilts her head. "Huh?"
>Sakuya - Well, easy to see where Flan picked it up from.
>Huh. Saying "lightbulb" is a fun way to show you have an idea, Sakuya realizes. I could see why Remilia started doing that.
>Flandre tacklehugs her. "Sakuya! Do you have any shiny stones or something? Chiri said you did!"
>Hina - "Well, I've got to get to work now~!"
>Twirly-twirl-twirl~ Gathering Misfortune~!
>Kogasa stares ath the spinning curse goddess. "She's weird. Why's she headed towards that new youkai?"
>Rin laughs. "She's no weirder than anyone else here."

>Sakuya - Let's pass off the other rocks to Flan then. They're taking up room in the TSMS anyhow.
>Flandre - "Woo-hoo!" Let's try swapping the green one with one of the green wing-crystals!

>Hina - "You've got quite a lot of misfortune, don't you?" Time to get to work!
>Chiri - "Today's been a pretty bad one, yeah. Not very fun when it's your first day actually being a thing."
>Satori - Oh, that's the curse goddess, isn't it? So this is how she removes misfortune. We'll keep a safe distance, seeing as how today's already been bad enough.

>Remilia - Oh, but wait, apparently it doesn't work on named locations...
>"Liiiightbulb." We'll just have her make it near the lake! Genius!

Quality is subjective, except when it's not:
>Sakuya - Let's pass off the other rocks to Flan then. They're taking up room in the TSMS anyhow.
>Flandre - "Woo-hoo!" Let's try swapping the green one with one of the green wing-crystals!
>Flandre swaps a green crystal with a shiny green stone. Strangely enough, it takes on the appearance of a wing-crystal.
>She grows cat ears but the author doesn't have the time or motivation to search Safebooru for a picture
>Sakuya glances at Chiri, who shrugs. "Hey, I just made them. Don't go asking me how they work."
>Hina - "You've got quite a lot of misfortune, don't you?" Time to get to work!
>Chiri - "Today's been a pretty bad one, yeah. Not very fun when it's your first day actually being a thing."
>Satori - Oh, that's the curse goddess, isn't it? So this is how she removes misfortune. We'll keep a safe distance, seeing as how today's already been bad enough.
>Hina starts spinning, and soon a visible stream of misfortune can be seen flowing from Chiri to Hina.
>Chiri is shocked. "Wow. I knew I was unlucky, but this is sorta incredible!"
>Hina has to spin faster to collect more misfortune. Chiri is getting nervous.
>Satori laughs. "Wow, first day of existence, and you've collected this much misfortune! Is it a byproduct of using your powers?"
>Patchouli looks thoughtful. "You know, that actually might make sense..."
>Hina slows down as the last bits of misfortune are collected. "Great," she mutters. "Does anyone have a good place to just leave ungodly amounts of misfortune?" she calls out.
>Yukari waves her hand and a gap opens beside Hina. "Just dump it in there. The shopkeeper there won't mind."
>In Kourindou, Rinnosuke is staring at a gap that is spewing out ominously black blocks of something that looks as if it shouldn't be solid. If he touched them he would be able to identify them, but...
>Remilia - Oh, but wait, apparently it doesn't work on named locations...
>"Liiiightbulb." We'll just have her make it near the lake! Genius!
>Patchouli raises an eyebrow. "Well? Would you like to share whatever plans you have in your mind?"
>Remilia holds up a silencing finger. "Not yet, Patchy! I gotta make it sound suitably amazing and charismatic!"

>Flandre - "Yahoo!" Wiggle them cat ears!
>"Chiri, can you make another one? I wanna have the tail too~!"
>Chiri - ....Excitable one, isn't she? "Well, it'll help me figure out how much misfortune I rack up by using my power. Let's make a little outcropping of those stones near the fountain.

>Remilia - Aha! "While you're at it, I have an idea. Since this old place has been destroyed and rebuilt rather often, I've been thinking about upgrading to something a bit more...Resilient. Specifically, a castle. It should be child's play for you to alter the terrain around the lake to my specifications, no? Given earlier events and the like. That cavern appearing out of nowhere was quite odd, and I've deduced you were behind that."
>Patchouli - "Ahhh...Yes, that would be considerably more resilient."
>Reimu - "Of course she was behind it Remi, a little late to the party aren't you?"

>Rinnosuke - Those blocks seem a mite too ominous...Perhaps this is the one time where we should consult someone else on an item.

I haven't forgotten about this adventure yet!
>Flandre - "Yahoo!" Wiggle them cat ears!
>"Chiri, can you make another one? I wanna have the tail too~!"
>Chiri - ....Excitable one, isn't she? "Well, it'll help me figure out how much misfortune I rack up by using my power. Let's make a little outcropping of those stones near the fountain.
>Chiri grins. "You bet I can!" She runs off to the fountain to work her magic. Hina follows to help measure misfortune levels.
>Remilia - Aha! "While you're at it, I have an idea. Since this old place has been destroyed and rebuilt rather often, I've been thinking about upgrading to something a bit more...Resilient.

>Patchouli - "Ahhh...Yes, that would be considerably more resilient."
>Reimu - "Of course she was behind it Remi, a little late to the party aren't you?"
>"Shush, you," Remilia glares at Reimu.
>"Don't worry! As long as really bad stuff doesn't happen, this castle's gonna be indestructible!" Chiri calls out, already out the door.
TIMESKIP!>Chiri strolls back into the mansion, with Hina following behind tiredly.
>"So, how much misfortune was it?"
>Hina sighs. "Half a block for the stone outcropping, but the castle was at least seven blocks. As a reference point, one block of misfortune is usually enough for about 50 people to have a bad day."
>Marisa whistles. "Sure sounds like a lot. Say, are hangovers related to misfortune levels?" she asks, rubbing her head.
>Rinnosuke - Those blocks seem a mite too ominous...Perhaps this is the one time where we should consult someone else on an item.
>Rinnosuke sighs. Well, they were gapped in by Yukari. She probably knows what they are.
>Another gap opens, spilling out some more blocks. Rinnosuke slips through the gap to look for Yukari.
>"Yukari, I know you're behind this. What the heck are those blocks you keep dumping in my store?"

>Chiri - "Near the fountain. It might take some effort for you guys to move everything to that new castle though."
>But still, enough misfortune for 350 people to have a bad day...We'll have to be a bit more careful with our power....Or visit Hina regularly to have it siphoned off. Either one.

I might be planning a sequel, but don't quote me on that:
>Flandre - "So where'd you put that thingy of stones?"
>Let's dash off for where it is once she tells us, then get another of those stones so we can replace the other green one! Fashionable Asymmetry's only good for clothes after all!

>But still, enough misfortune for 350 people to have a bad day...We'll have to be a bit more careful with our power....Or visit Hina regularly to have it siphoned off. Either one.
>Satori nudges Hina. "I sure hope you don't mind this youkai regularly visiting you."
>Hina shrugs. "Well, she's probably not going to be using her power every day. If nothing else, I do want to find alternative uses for solidified misfortune, and having a large number of blocks would help that."
>Meanwhile, Flandre has swapped another crystal for a shiny stone, and has grown a cat tail.
>Remilia - Let's take a look at that new castle then.
>Patchouli - Well, seems we'll have to devise another translocation spell. Seeing as we'll be moving all of the Library.
>Ah, speaking of which, we should go check up on it. Koa must be in a tizzy with all of the little Koas around.
>Remilia drags Chiri out to the new castle, and gives it a thorough look over.
>"Well, this definitely is impressive, but why do all the walkways look like they would crumble once someone steps on one?"
>Chiri laughs nervously. "Sorry, I was going for a deathtrap castle. It's a habit. I guess I can change it, if you want..."
>Yukari - Smile enigmatically. "Ask Hina~"
>Rinnosuke sighs. "Why can't you just give me a straight answer for once?"
>He turns to Hina. "You must be the curse goddess, I assume? Do you know what those blocks are?"
>Hina nods. "They're blocks of concentrated misfortune. I'm sure you'll find a use for them somehow."
>Marisa laughs. "Of course he did! He built my mini-hakkero, after all!"
>"It's not finding a use for them I'm worried about. How am I even going to handle them?" Rinnosuke mutters.

We're just about wrapping things up here...:
>Flandre - "Nyahahaha~ I got a tail now~"
>Fistpalm! "I got it!"
>Let's grab two more, then go find big sis!
>Flandre runs off to see the new castle and her sister, with two shiny green rocks in hand.
>Chiri notices this, and wonders how she's going to attach them to Remilia, considering Remilia doesn't have wing crystals to replace.
>Remilia - "Yes...I think you should fix it. I have little problem with traps themselves, but it gets to be a bit much when even the occupants themselves are at risk of falling into them."
>...EEEEH?! Wh-why's she got..?! Oh this has got to be a dream.
>....Ow. Not a dream.

>....EEEEH?!
>She's one crazy kid...Having us use our power for weird things like that...Well, we did say we'd make it up to them...
>"Well, I guess if I have to fix it... are you absolutely sure you don't want any deathtraps in it?" Chiri looks hopeful.
>"Yes. Deathtraps are bad."
>"Party pooper..." Chiri mutters. "Alright, just don't look and I'll remake it in a moment..."
>Hina - "I plan to find alternative uses myself, perhaps we can work together on that? Currently they're only good for drawing away misfortune, like bait. I wish to find other uses."
>"Well, I'm sure one of the shrine maidens can exorcise the misfortune. What would that leave?" Rinnosuke muses. "I'll admit, a chunk of bad luck is an interesting product. It could be of use in making other weapons, but for that I need to know if it's like a metal..."

The only story where the epilogue has more thought in it than the adventure itself:
>Flandre - "Hmmm...." Maybe if we stick 'em to her wings like an accessory...?
>Oh, Chiri's gonna mess around with that stuff again? Guess that means we gotta look away again.
>Remilia - Just what is she up to..? Well, we'll find out after Chiri's finished. We gotta turn away for that to happen though.
>Chiri - Alright, they've turned away, so let's get to work!
TIMESKIP!>"...And that should be it! You guys can look now," Chiri announces.
>Remilia looks over the castle again. "Much better. There are no deathtraps in it now, I suppose?"
>"Nope! It's completely safe!" Chiri gives a strained smile.
>Flandre is holding a shiny green stone in each hand. How am I supposed to attach these to Big Sis?
>Hina - Are they akin to blocks of metal?
>Hina thinks about it. "Well there's nothing against that concept. I should be able to make metal out of them..."
>Rinnosuke rubs his hands together in anticipation. "Well my specialty is making things out of mythical metals, so I suppose that I can start fashioning things out of them. They are stable, right?"
>Hina nods. "Usually. If one comes in contact with something that has more misfortune than it is made out of, it gets absorbed. That's a problem. It also sort of slowly leaks out into anyone touching it."

This is not italicized, but it is underlined! Meta-humor, ahoy!:
>Flandre - Maybe if we put them in her somehow..?
>Chiri - Ooogh, this is definitely gonna rack up the misfortune...
>Remilia - Hmm...Those green crystals on her wings are different come to think of it. And she's holding two more. But why?
>Chiri glances at Flandre. "Whatever you're thinking of, it's probably not going to work. Just saying."
>Remilia is confused. "Hey, Flandre. How'd you get cat ears anyway?"
>Chiri: "Well, I should get back to Hina."
>Get moving, and quickly.
> Unbeknownst to Chiri, it's already too late.
>At the Moriya Shrine, Kanako throws a washtub in a fit of rage. It flies out into the air...
>"Hey, I can get it back!" Sanae exclaims excitedly. "I'll use my miracle powers to catch it before it hits the ground! I'll swim through the sky!"
>Iku sneezes, discharging another bolt of lightning.
>Chiri is running back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion as fast as she can. Now would actually be a good time to be dragged by Flandre, she thinks to herself.
>That's when she's nailed by a washtub. Then a green-haired shrine maiden flying at miraculous speeds crashes straight into the unwitting youkai, who reels backwards, balancing the washtub perfectly on her head and attracting the ire of a stray thunderbolt.
>The end result is one fried youkai. Chiri decides that now would be a good time to fall unconscious and promptly does so.
>Hina - "I think that should be doable, though it might take more effort than normal."
>Rinnosuke - Hmm...Interesting....We'll have to do quite a lot of thinking on this.
>They continues conversing like this until Hina realizes something. "Chiri probably should have been back by now. I should go check up on her to see if she's gathered any more misfortune. After all, if we want this to happen, we're going to need a lot of misfortune."
>Rinnosuke nods thoughtfully. "I won't detain you, then."

Misfortune is used whenever it is most comically relevant:
>Hina: Find Chiri.
>"Oh, dear. It seems I'm a bit late."
>Let's gather up the misfortune.
>"And up we go..." Hina helps Chiri up. "It's a shame you already used that bit of it. Combos always use up a lot of bad luck. Funny thing is, misfortune never clings to that girl. It's almost a miracle..."
>Sanae - "Buuuh...What happen?"
>Sanae gets up, strangely unharmed, and picks up the washtub. "Well, I got the washtub! Back to the shrine! Huh. I wonder who I crashed into..."
>She flies off to the Moriya Shrine, completely unaware of what she was a part of.
>Flandre - "Oh, this? I decided to mix things up and change around my Wing Crystals! When I used some of those shiny green rocks to replace the green ones, I turned out like this~! Nyahahaha~"
>Remilia - ....What. Wait, if she's got two more....She's planning on making us the same way.
>...I-it's not like we want to be cute or anything..! Idiot...
>Realization dawns on Remilia. "Well, we can figure something out later. We gotta make sure our old house isn't being wrecked again."
>When the two vampire girls arrive at the mansion, Koishi is poking Chiri, who is unconscious and sprawled on the floor. Hina and Rinnosuke are talking about potential uses of misfortune, and Rin is chasing Mima around the room, trying to cart the evil spirit away.
>Satori looks up and gives a mischievous smile. "Oh? Remilia, I detect that you've had tsundere thoughts recently..."

Sometimes I forget which characters are still at the party. Then I remember that since I'm the author, I get to decide who still is there!:
>Mima - "Oi! I'm not some low-grade mook spirit y'know! An S-Rank Magician Spirit like me is way outta your league kiddo! Some half-baked cat who can't help but go full-speed is way too weak!"
>Yuuka - There she goes again, just as feisty as she was in the old days.
>"Hey, Mima. Let's go grab some drinks somewhere else, eh?"
>Greenhaired Duo - Let's blow this Popsicle Stand! Next stop, Garden of The Sun! There's bound to be some more booze there after all!
>Yuuka proceeds to blast a hole in the mansion with a Master Spark and stroll out. Mima follows her and sticks her tongue out at Rin.
>Sakuya sighs. "And I just repaired that part, too. At least they didn't hit any of the structural supports..."
>Rumia - "Waha~ That was a fun party~!"
>Team 9 - "Yeah~!"
>Wriggle laughs. "We even look like grown-ups now! Being pelted by danmaku was totally worth it!"
>Yuuka's laser grazes Daiyousei, Rumia, and Mystia, but Cirno and Wriggle are caught in the blast.
>Rumia laughs. "Is that so?"
>Remilia - "I-idiot!"
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~ Big Sis is always like this when she really does want something you wouldn't expect her to~"
>Beat.
>"Yahoo!"
>Reimu smiles. "Minus 30 charisma points. Tsunderes aren't charismatic."
>Marisa sidles up next to Remilia and nudges her side. "Hey, don't worry. You've still got a couple of charisma points from those stunts you pull regularly."
>Remilia pouts. "You're not helping!"
>Satori looks thoughtful. "A psychology-based point system? Interesting... I'll have to try it out back at home."
>Sakuya - Didn't we have other items like that green rock, come to think of it?
>Sakuya digs through her TSMS, finally throwing out the stale, half-eaten cookies. She pulls out three more shiny stones: one yellow, one red, and one white.
>Flandre notices the stones. "Hey, Chiri, what do these do?"
>Chiri sits up. "Those? I have no idea. Just because I created them doesn't mean I would know about them."
>Hina glances at Chiri. "Ah. You're awake."

There are more accidental casualties than purposeful ones. These things just sort of happen:
>Dai - "Somehow, I doubt it was worth that."
>Mystia - "You said it."
>Rumia - "Is that so?"
>Wriggle coughs up some smoke. "Well, Cirno's gone. I wonder if she's still going to respawn as an adult."
>Mystia speaks up. "Well, we know where the fountain is, so I'm sure that staying as grownups won't be too hard..."
>"Well, since our leader isn't here right now, should we go visit her?" Daiyousei asks.
>"Sure!" Rumia cheers.
>Chiri: "Yeah. Also: ow."
>"You're a youkai," Reimu says. "You're going to be fine."
>"Well, it's been nice talking with you all, but I've got to get back to my shop and experiment with those blocks of misfortune," Rinnosuke announces.
>"I'll come with you. I'm sure I could be of use," Hina interjects.
>Rinnosuke pauses just outside the door. "Also, Yukari, you still owe me for that time you gapped that vampire's magic sword into my shop. That's a winter's worth of fuel for compensation, at the least."
>Yukari pouts. "Cheapskate."
>Remilia - Lousy rotten...So what if we act like this?!
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~"
>Remilia, now rather miffed, turns to Flandre. "You sound like you've got something else planned. What is it?"
>"Excuse me," Iku calls from the door. "I'm looking for the troublesome celestial."
>Sakuya points to a pile of knives. "She's there somewhere. Take her back before she breaks anything else."
>Iku bows. "Thank you for informing me." She drags the knife-filled celestial out from under the pile, and flies off into the skies of Gensokyo, with Tenshi in tow.

It's the party that will never end~!:
>Kogasa - "....So what now?"
>Mystia jumps. "How do you keep appearing out of nowhere?"
>Kogasa winks. "Trade secret."
>Team 9 - Let's go find Cirno then!
>"Wait," Kogasa interjects, "how do we find Cirno?"
>"Oh, that's easy," Daiyousei explains. "Just look for a big patch of frozen lake."
>"Well, let's split up then," Rumia suggests.
>"That's a good idea, Rumia!" Daiyousei grins. "Alright, everyone split up to find Cirno! Kogasa, you can help too, I guess."
>Flandre - Grin. "Nope~ I just think it's pretty funny when you act like this~"
>Remilia - "I-it's not like I act like this because I want to or anything!"
>Satori sighs. "I would say that you're doing it on purpose now, but your thoughts say otherwise."
>Reimu - "Yup, definitely Tsundere."
>Marisa - "Ah, but don't boys really like that in the Outside World? Maybe I shoulda tried that back when I was younger."
>Reimu laughs. "You? With a boy? You don't even know anyone from the human village, besides Keine, Kosuzu, and Akyuu!"
>Marisa frowns. "Aren't those the only people from the human village you know, too?"
>Sakuya: Timestop and get our knives back from Tenshi before Iku gets too far away.
>Iku sighs. "You really are a glutton for punishment..."
>Tenshi laughs. "Hah! At least that maid is going to lose some of her knives! Ow."
>All the knives vanish, and Tenshi turns around to see Sakuya, who is waving with a smile on her face and her knives in her hand.
>"Stupid time-cheating maid..." Tenshi mutters.

All right, now this is sorta getting ridiculous. Scratch that. It was ridiculous when it started.
>Reimu - Apply DOPE_SLAP.bat to KIRISAME.EXE "I-idiot! I just keep to myself to keep things simple!"
>Marisa - Heh, looks like Remi ain't the only Tsundere...
>Satori - "Indeed."
>Remilia - "I-idiot! That's my line!"
>Flandre - "Hee-hee~ Reimu and Big Sis are a lot alike~!"
>Marisa shrugs. "Well, the only connection I can think of off the top of the head is the affiliation with red. Scarlet Devil, Red-white, that sorta thing."
>Reimu blushes, then realizes what she's doing. She rummages around her sleeves, and pulls out another charm. "You know, Yukari commissioned this tsundere charm a while back, and I was wondering where it got to. Wait..."
>Reimu glares at Yukari, who's whistling innocently. "You gapped this into my clothes, did you?"
>"But this was just the perfect time for something like that!" Yukari defends herself.
>Satori shakes her head slowly. "So, this is what you do when not solving incidents?"
>Reimu nods. "Experimenting with charms keeps me occupied."
>Utsuho groans. "But your charms are weird. Why did you make one to steal food?"
>"Hey, I explained that logical process a while back!" Reimu complains. "It was a slow time, and not enough people were donating or buying charms enough for me to be able to get food! I was desperate!"
>Satori raises an eyebrow. "Stealing food from other people's stomachs? I wouldn't be able to follow the thought process for that if I wasn't able to read minds."
>Team 9+Kogasa - Let's go!
>The group of idiots perfectly capable, if a bit weak, youkai with average intelligence (and Daiyousei) split up to find where their idiot leader respawned.
>Daiyousei checks around the center of Misty Lake, and Cirno is lying there, on a floating miniature iceberg.
>True to its name, the Misty Lake is is currently too foggy to see anything too clearly. Daiyousei can't even tell if Cirno is still an adult.
>Hina&Rinnosuke - Let's head back and figure out something to do with that Misfortune!
>Rinnosuke leads Hina to his shop, and enters the back room.
>"For a small shop, it certainly has a large back room," Hina points out.
>"Well, it was destroyed several times, so I decided that now was as good a time as any to make a few upgrades to it," Rinnosuke explains. "With this expanded workplace, I'm sure we can get something out of those blocks of misfortune!"
