Reimu Quest (Part 3)

[日巫子]

> Frown. "No, I remember you. I'm just wondering why the flower youkai is trying to burn down the forest."
> What do we recall of Yuuka?

> "I can't believe you'd accuse me of that," Yuuka says, but she gives no indication that she's actually offended.
> You know that she's very dangerous.  Not because she's outright malicious, but because she's very hard to read.  She always looks and sounds cheerful, so you could have angered her and not realized it until she has beat you in a spellcard duel.

Yay, it's the Youkai Moe!
>"Hello Remilia and [everyone else]. I have some tea here. Why don't we all sit down and discuss whatever is going on ... after putting out this fire of course."

[Sect]

>"Hello Remilia and [everyone else]. I have some tea here. Why don't we all sit down and discuss whatever is going on ... after putting out this fire of course."

> Not this. Too friendly.
> "I call it as I see it. Now is someone going to put out this fire, or am I gonna have to intervene? I already beat purple smoke out of an armed fish, so I'm really not in the mood."

> "Do you really think I'd burn these innocent plants?" Yuuka asks as Remilia huffs in frustration.
> You consider calling a truce, but everyone looks too heated to just sit down and have some tea.
> "It's probably better if this entire greenhouse burns," Sakuya says, looking away from you.
> "I dunno, it's kind of hot in here," Marisa says.  She starts to approach you.

[O4rfish]

>What is up with Sakuya? She seems quite irritable.

[日巫子]

>What is up with Sakuya? She seems quite irritable.

> Maybe she's upset because there is a fight going on.  It's not that unusual for her.

[Sect]

> Is the greenhouse underwater?

[日巫子]

> Is the greenhouse underwater?

> If it were, there wouldn't be any fire.

> _

[Sect]

> The greenhouse building, not the inside of the greenhouse. Is the building submerged, but keeping water out?

[日巫子]

> The greenhouse building, not the inside of the greenhouse. Is the building submerged, but keeping water out?

> It's not submerged.

[Sect]

Darn, there goes the idea of threatening to kick a hole in the roof and flooding everyone.

[Hello Purvis]

>"...Just out the stupid fires before I get even madder."

[日巫子]

>"...Just out the stupid fires before I get even madder."

> Marisa, who has now reached you, claps you on the shoulder.  "I'm on it.  I leave Yuuka to you."
> She gives you a thumbs up, grins, and takes off into the air.

> _

[O4rfish]

>Wonder what she has in mind.

[日巫子]

>Wonder what she has in mind.

> Knowing Marisa, it could either be something really good or really bad.
> Yuuka crosses her legs.  "So.  Are you going to take her place in this fight, Miss Hakurei?"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yuuka, you don't want me to fight you right now. You want me to understand what is going on so so I don't have to fight you. So, make me understand what is going on."

[日巫子]

>"Yuuka, you don't want me to fight you right now. You want me to understand what is going on so so I don't have to fight you. So, make me understand what is going on."

> "Uuuumm, no."  Yuuka tilts her head from side to side.  "This is way more fun."
> "Or you could just leave right now," Remilia says, leaning on her Gungnir.  Yuuka ignores her.

> _

[O4rfish]

>Plants. Can't live with em, can't live without em.

[Hello Purvis]

>"No, Yuuka, it isn't more fun. And do you know why? Because the only reason you're here is because your garden got flooded out, isn't it?"

[日巫子]

>Plants. Can't live with em, can't live without em.

> As far as plants go, Yuuka is the strangest of them all.

>"No, Yuuka, it isn't more fun. And do you know why? Because the only reason you're here is because your garden got flooded out, isn't it?"

> "And?  Just because it's been over watered doesn't mean that's the only reason, does it?"

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"How long til they drown, Yuuka? Even I know that watering a plant too much kills it."

[日巫子]

>"How long til they drown, Yuuka? Even I know that watering a plant too much kills it."

> Yuuka's smile fades just a little.  She looks into the fire.
> "Much like these plants it is too late for them to be saved, but I will regrow them.  Humans grow, die, and rot in the earth, and from the soil they fertilize plants will always grow back."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"As soon as the flood clears up. Funny how most of the people who would be clearing up that flood are here having to deal with you, isn't it?"

[日巫子]

>Nod.
>"As soon as the flood clears up. Funny how most of the people who would be clearing up that flood are here having to deal with you, isn't it?"

> "I didn't ask them to come, they came of their own accord.  Like Miss Izayoi, for example.  She didn't have to go running to her mistress when she saw me, but here we are."
> Sakuya frowns.
> "Now that you mention the flood, though, you might as well tell me what you plan to do about it.  I'm curious."

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"No no no, Yuuka. We aren't changing the subject just yet. Just how did you get in here? And you do know where this is, right?"

[O4rfish]

>Don't most of our incident resolving plans involve beating up random people until they agree to stop causing the incident?

[日巫子]

>"No no no, Yuuka. We aren't changing the subject just yet. Just how did you get in here? And you do know where this is, right?"

> "Why, I walked in through the front door," Yuuka says.  "And this is the Scarlet Devil Mansion."
> "And just how did you get past our gatekeeper?" Remilia demands.
> "I set up a little diversion."

>Don't most of our incident resolving plans involve beating up random people until they agree to stop causing the incident?

> They do.

> _

[Hello Purvis]

>"So, Yuuka, you weren't invited in, and you're wondering why people might be a little upset?"
>Head shake.
>"Let me be honest, here. I actually don't care if you stay here or not. In fact, I would prefer you stay here, so I know where you are and don't have to worry about you drowning or getting eaten by an arm fish.  Furthermore, I don't even care if you and Remilia fight it out the whole time, or go make out in the nearest closet. Do you know what I do care about?"
>Presuming she shows any interest in caring, continue, "This."
>Gesture toward the fire.
>"That's what I care about. We have a pretty severe incident onhand. Everyone's suffering, and I come here to find this. Do you see what I am trying to say, Yuuka?"

> You explain the situation to Yuuka.  At the mention of making out in a closet, Remilia makes a disgusted expression, but no one seems to care.  Yuuka leans back on the roots and makes direct eye contact with you as she taps her foot up and down.  When you're done talking, her smile shows teeth.
> "No."

[O4rfish]

>"I'm saying you're making things worse for everyone, including those plants of yours!"
