[COMPLETE] Rumia Quest VI; Cont: Reaching for the Sky

[Raikaria]

>Let's turn around, and make sure to not bop her with our Wings. "Hey, glad you did. Bet you had fun with all those Shades, huh? I heard Remi had to use Gungnir a lot to take them all down, but I bet your power made short work of them, huh?"
>Grin a bit. "Oh yeah, I have a new weapon now too, thanks to Shinki's help. It might not be on par with yours, and I haven't made any spellcards for it yet, but I think it's pretty cool."
>Let's pull out Unified Chaos and rest it point-down on the ground. "You like it? I took a few hints on using it from how I saw you use Laevatein against Titania. Enkura tried throwing this little star-thing at me early-on in the fight, but I just batted it right back with this little treasure here! Hole-In-One!"
>Beat.
>Look to Patchouli. "Uh, am I using the right sports terms?"

> "Shiny. It looks better than my wand, that's for sure." Flan says, before she adds "Yeah I beat a few up with Levi."

> "Why do you think I'd know sports terms?!" Patchouli says, looking utterly baffled.

[Hanzo K.]

>Headtilt. "Because you're the smart one here aside from Dai. Don't you have a book on that or something?"
>It's a rare occasion that Patchouli's completely baffled, isn't it?
>Then look back to Flan. "Shinki made it for me. So if Yuuka goes crazy again, we won't have to rely on you and Remi to actually do anything to her. And i don't even need to get close to do damage with it either, I can fire sword beams too! I bet you want to learn how to do that too, huh? Well, unless you already know how."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Dodge inevitable sword beam.

[Raikaria]

>Headtilt. "Because you're the smart one here aside from Dai. Don't you have a book on that or something?"
>It's a rare occasion that Patchouli's completely baffled, isn't it?
>Then look back to Flan. "Shinki made it for me. So if Yuuka goes crazy again, we won't have to rely on you and Remi to actually do anything to her. And i don't even need to get close to do damage with it either, I can fire sword beams too! I bet you want to learn how to do that too, huh? Well, unless you already know how."

> "Why would I have books on sports? I'm an anemic asthmatic." Patchouli says.

> Flandre looks unimpressed.

> "I don't need to do sword beams. Besides, this isn't even a sword, it's a wand. Why do a sword-beam when you can make a massive whip of fire and crash it upon your foes while they burn to death?"

> Flandre pauses.

> "Or I could just kyuu~ stuff I wanna kill."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, I also took one of the stances I learned, and adapted it so I can use it with my sword. It's pretty effective too. Want me to show it to you outside? I think it's even stronger than my Dark Cross technique!"
>Look to Patchouli again. "There's lots of books right? For all I know, you could have one of those kinds of books just for collection's sake."

[Raikaria]

>"Well, I also took one of the stances I learned, and adapted it so I can use it with my sword. It's pretty effective too. Want me to show it to you outside? I think it's even stronger than my Dark Cross technique!"
>Look to Patchouli again. "There's lots of books right? For all I know, you could have one of those kinds of books just for collection's sake."

> Patchouli interrupts. "I don't think it's a good idea to get into a showing off match of destructive power with Flandre involved."

> "Awwww." Flandre says.

> "Probably for the best." Koakuma agrees.

> "There might be a couple, but I don't do loans."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sigh. "Man...I really wanted to show you guys at least. Only ones who saw it were Rika, Tenshi, Iku, Suika, Maribel, Renko, and I think Enkura might've seen it too."
>Fistpalm. "I came up with a few more tricks too! Of course, one of them takes a bit of setup to use, so I have to immobilize the target beforehand just to be sure it'll hit."

[Raikaria]

>Sigh. "Man...I really wanted to show you guys at least. Only ones who saw it were Rika, Tenshi, Iku, Suika, Maribel, Renko, and I think Enkura might've seen it too."
>Fistpalm. "I came up with a few more tricks too! Of course, one of them takes a bit of setup to use, so I have to immobilize the target beforehand just to be sure it'll hit."

> Flandre looks excited again. She may not be insane anymore, that doesn't mean she doesn't have the mind of an eight-year old that she had before she went mad.

> At this point, Patchoul starts to cough, and, as such, excuses herself and heads back to her Library, with Koakuma holding her upright. It seems Patchy's illness is pretty bad today.

[Hanzo K.]

>Wince. "Looks like it's really acting up today, eh Flan? Hope she'll be okay. Dai, think you can ease the pain at least with your healing magic? I have a feeling she'll need your help."
>Then look to Flan. "I came up with one move that leave a V-Shaped trail of energy, and a cut in the shape of one too. And another one's nine slashes at practically the same time! I bet you and Remi are fast enough to pull that one off too. Maybe you can even improve on it too."
>Beat.
>"Ah, you like my wings? They aren't as shiny as yours though."

[Raikaria]

>Wince. "Looks like it's really acting up today, eh Flan? Hope she'll be okay. Dai, think you can ease the pain at least with your healing magic? I have a feeling she'll need your help."
>Then look to Flan. "I came up with one move that leave a V-Shaped trail of energy, and a cut in the shape of one too. And another one's nine slashes at practically the same time! I bet you and Remi are fast enough to pull that one off too. Maybe you can even improve on it too."
>Beat.
>"Ah, you like my wings? They aren't as shiny as yours though."

> "Nah, it's a pretty good day. She did do a lot of magic just now." Flan says.

> "Only nine? I remember once I attacked ten people. I flew past them in one swoop, and then there were none." Flandre says. "And that was casual."

> Flandre looks at your wings.

> "Well apparently the crystals on my wings are mana crystals, which store my excess energy or something. I don't get why Remi doesn't have them, or why my wings are not like Remi's." Flandre says, her crystals glowing with a dim light as she talks about them.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Ah, must be because you're so strong, then. I'd guess you're just a lot stronger than Remi is, and that's why you need something to store your excess energy."

[Raikaria]

>"Ah, must be because you're so strong, then. I'd guess you're just a lot stronger than Remi is, and that's why you need something to store your excess energy."

> Flandre gives you a look.

> "What are you talking about? Remi's stronger."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, You can destroy anything you put your mind to, maybe they're meant to bleed off the excess from using it? Kinda like how a window works in summer to let out the heat."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Remi can't 'kyuu' things like you can. Or do a hell of a lot of the things you can. She just seems stronger because she'shad more practice. You practice as much as she has, and you'll pass her in no time."

[Raikaria]

>"Well, You can destroy anything you put your mind to, maybe they're meant to bleed off the excess from using it? Kinda like how a window works in summer to let out the heat."

> "Or store the energy I'm not using in blowing things up." Flandre says.

>"Remi can't 'kyuu' things like you can. Or do a hell of a lot of the things you can. She just seems stronger because she'shad more practice. You practice as much as she has, and you'll pass her in no time."

> "I can't use her red magic. I can't manipulate fate. She's faster than me, she's stronger than me." Flandre says. "And she's 502 years wiser than me, if you discount the 500 years of madness."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, she's had the time to get better with what she does have. It's kind of like how Patchouli is, she didn't become as smart as she is without spending a lot of time on her magic. You can't do what she can, but you don't have to. You find what you're good at, and you'll end up either equaling her, or even surpassing her at it. Maybe you should give cooking a shot? I hear chocolates are pretty popular, maybe that's one of the talents you have that she doesn't."

[Raikaria]

>"Well, she's had the time to get better with what she does have. It's kind of like how Patchouli is, she didn't become as smart as she is without spending a lot of time on her magic.

> "Why would I want to cook? Sakuya does all of it, and she doesn't like anyone bothering her when she is, and takes it as personal pride to do it all herself."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Good point. But, it never hurts to pick up a hobby after all. Gotta have something to do when you're bored."
>Pause. "I remember finding this library in the Human Village, maybe they'd have a book on something you can take up as a hobby. I'll see what I can find for you!"

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Good point. But, it never hurts to pick up a hobby after all. Gotta have something to do when you're bored."
>Pause. "I remember finding this library in the Human Village, maybe they'd have a book on something you can take up as a hobby. I'll see what I can find for you!"

> "But I'm not bored. I do whatever I feel like. I play with the fairies!" Flandre says.

> "If I want to read I can just bug Patchy. Remi has some books too." Flandre comments.

[Hanzo K.]

>Laugh. "You really know what it's like to know what you want to do, when you want to do it, huh?"
>What sort of sports and games are popular in Gensokyo these days? Mahjong still common as dirt?

[Raikaria]

>Laugh. "You really know what it's like to know what you want to do, when you want to do it, huh?"
>What sort of sports and games are popular in Gensokyo these days? Mahjong still common as dirt?

> Why would Gensokyo need sport? They just have spellcard battles for no reason when they're bored enough.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, there is a lot of things to do, come to think of it. But it never hurts to pick up something to do when nothing sounds interesting."

[Raikaria]

>"Well, there is a lot of things to do, come to think of it. But it never hurts to pick up something to do when nothing sounds interesting."

> "Yes, when there's nothing to do then I'll find something to do. That makes sense." Flandre says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile cheerfully. "And you let me know when that happens, okay? Two heads are better than one after all, I'm sure we'll figure something out between the two of us. Heck, maybe even Remi would want to join in, I'm sure she gets bored sometimes too."

[Raikaria]

>Smile cheerfully. "And you let me know when that happens, okay? Two heads are better than one after all, I'm sure we'll figure something out between the two of us. Heck, maybe even Remi would want to join in, I'm sure she gets bored sometimes too."

> "Last time Remi got bored she did the whole Mist thing." Flandre says.

> You remember that. That's when you met... and got beaten up by, Reimu and Marisa.

[Hanzo K.]

>Wince. "Ouch. her getting too bored is a bad thing. I got beat up by both Reimu and Marisa back then. Of course, I was also a lot stupider and weaker than I am now too."

[Raikaria]

>Wince. "Ouch. her getting too bored is a bad thing. I got beat up by both Reimu and Marisa back then. Of course, I was also a lot stupider and weaker than I am now too."

> "Didn't you just get beaten up because you tried to eat them on the way here or something?" Flandre asks.

> You're not sure how she knows that. You guess Reimu told Remilia at some point.

> That or Marisa opened her big mouth.

[Hanzo K.]

>Wince again. "Like I said, stupider and weaker."

[Raikaria]

>Wince again. "Like I said, stupider and weaker."

> Flandre giggles. "Well back then I was more insane than Marisa, Yukari hardly showed up ever, the Moriya Shrine wasn't in Gensokyo, Mystia ate people, and the only religious faction in Gensokyo was Reimu, who everyone ignored except when she kicked someone's butt."

[Hanzo K.]

>Laugh a bit. "Yeah, we were all different people back then."
>Pause thoughtfully. "Maybe I should make a spellcard with those crosses I've been using lately...You think it'd work? I haven't the faintest idea how to implement them in a way that hasn't already been done though."
