Kogasa Quest - Surpriseing Galore!

[Raikaria]

>Ponder if gaining new abilities would help our cause.

> Perhaps you could surprise people with shiny new powers, until word gets out at least. And word travels as fast as the Tengu flies in Gensokyo.

[capt. h]

> If we're going to surprise people the way Aya does it, we'll need a camera and we'll need to start making up lots of juicy stories.

> Wait, no, that doesn't feel like Mami's point.

> Uh... Mami's point was that we'll have to either 1. make events happen that no one expects or 2. behave in a way no one expects us to, right?

> Uh... Mami's point was that we'll have to either 1. make events happen that no one expects or 2. behave in a way no one expects us to, right?

> Yes a camera, and stories and,,, would anyone actually believe you? You're nowhere near as fast as Aya either. No-one can catch Aya for spreading rumors, you'll get caught and beat up.

> Yeah, bad idea.

> You think about what Mamizou was trying to tell you. You figure those two points are reasonable, but there might be other things. Mamizou mentioned Aya, after all, so knowing things that might be unexpected could also surprise people. Knowing things you shouldn't. Like secrets. Of course, Mamizou said there are loads of ways to surprise people, and you know everyone is different. After all, everyone reacts differently when you try to surprise them. You guess that different people will be surprised by different things.

[capt. h]

> Secret Agent Kogasa go! No wait, that sounds like it'll get us beaten up.

> Huh, Aya has dirt on everybody. Weigh pros and cons of starting our quest to surprise everyone by stealing Aya's dirt. And her notes on everyone in Gensokyo, that's probably much more useful than soil samples.

> You imagine yourself painting your umbrella black and putting a monocle on it and calling yourself a secret agent. Then you realize that you wouldn't look like an eggplant anymore.

> Pros: If you somehow pull it off you'll probobly surprise everyone in Gensokyo just by doing that
Cons: Aya is stupidly fast. She can fly from one side of Gensokyo to the other almost as quickly as Yukari can gap there. Odds of you sneaking into the Tengu Village, and then stealing Aya's notes, and getting away with it when Aya is that fast are slim to none. She always carries her notebook and camera anyway.

[Validon98]

>Right, so... we're going to have to go about that in other ways. By, you know, careful and sneaky observation of people during their personal time. We can spy on people, see if they have anything we can exploit, and then go go surprising time!

>Of course that means we should actually ACT, otherwise the mist is probably going to damage our umbrella. Right, let's find somewhere we can hide and see if we can't spy on someone to gather information.

[capt. h]

> Well, everybody nags Reimu. Maybe we'd hear some interesting stuff if we sunbathed on her shrine's roof? Preferably on the side facing the back so people can't see us napping SPYING as they approach the shrine.

> Er, well, since we're already at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, we could nap SPY on their roof instead.

> After thinking about where you are going to go to try and find some juicy gossip or something, you decide to go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and hide on the roof.

> Mist won't damage your umbrella. It does tickle after being in it for a while however as the mist causes condensation on the underside of it.

> You fly towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and notice Meiling is asleep at the gate, although her sleep does not seem too deep.

[E-Nazrin]

>How tough would Meiling be to surprise?
>Do we have to be present when someone is surprised? Or observing? Or just for it to be our fault?
>Maybe if we set up something for when she wakes up... just waking her up with a loud noise would be too easy. And she might fight back...

[capt. h]

> How good is our Sakuya impression?

>Do we have to be present when someone is surprised? Or observing? Or just for it to be our fault?
>Maybe if we set up something for when she wakes up... just waking her up with a loud noise would be too easy. And she might fight back...

> Meiling is not that difficult to surprise. Partially because she's a light sleeper.

> You have to be able to see the result, else you won't know if it worked or not.

> Perhaps. Some people can have violent reactions upon being woken up, and you don't know Meiling at all. All you know from the Bunbunmaru is her job, her nickname 'China' and that she sleeps a lot.

> How good is our Sakuya impression?

> You have never met Sakuya, so awful.

[Validon98]

Right, throwing around ideas. If Meiling is a light sleeper, then perhaps we can make her "happy" while asleep... before doing something sudden that wrecks that happy feeling and waking her up. Like... making her think she's relaxing at like a beach or something, before causing a sudden downpour. It could work on her.

[capt. h]

> Do we have the supplies to write "Cirno was here" on her face?

> It's probably a good thing that she's asleep. Makes it easy to sneak past her. Write "Cirno was here" on her face, then sneak past her.

> You know, unless we have a desire to surprise her right away, instead of leaving a little "delayed action surprise" for her.

[Validon98]

I think that's going to elicit nothing more than a groan from her, and besides, we need to be there when she gets surprised otherwise we don't know if we did it or not.
Again, rainstorm is a possibility. ^^;

[Serela]

>Could we fill an umbrella with water from the misty lake next to the SDM and then dump it on Meiling?

And yeah, don't just write on her face. It's too hard to see the aftermath of that since we'd have to wait for someone -else- to come see it, anyway; if she'd even do more than groan afterwords.

> You don't have markers to do this.

> You don't see much point in filling your umbrella with water. Aside from the fact that you can make it rain a bit anyway, carrying that much water in your umbrella could actually be dangerous for you. If it's too heavy it will collapse and that's not good for you!

[Serela]

>Oh, if we were going to try anything like that we'd definitely use a summoned umbrella instead. But yeah I imagine they likely wouldn't be too durable...

>How hard can we make it rain?

[Raikaria]

>Oh, if we were going to try anything like that we'd definitely use a summoned umbrella instead. But yeah I imagine they likely wouldn't be too durable...

>How hard can we make it rain?

> A moderate drizzle. You do this by using magic and spinning your umbrella around, causing water to fly from it.

[Kwak]

>How long do the summoned umbrellas last? What other limitations might they have?

[Raikaria]

>How long do the summoned umbrellas last? What other limitations might they have?

> They are proximity-based, once they are more than a few meters away from you they return from whence they came. Littering is bad, after all.

[capt. h]

> Do we have to be nearby when we surprise people? Also, do they have to know it was us?

> Thinking we could use a summoned umbrella as a bucket, instead of the real one. The disappearing act may actually be convenient.

> You have to be able to close enough to see the results. Else you don't know if your plans worked or not! Besides, isn't half the fun seeing the look on their faces?

> You could indeed use a summoned umbrella as a bucket of sorts.

[E-Nazrin]

> They are proximity-based, once they are more than a few meters away from you they return from whence they came. Littering is bad, after all.

>That, and we don't need to end up responsible for three dozen little kogasas every time we get in a skirmish.
>There isn't any other easy way to condense our drizzle into a larger single splash?
>Is there anything on the ground we could use to mess with China's outfit with?
>How much would tickling count toward surprising?

[Serela]

Making out with her while she's asleep would probably be a very shocking wakeup for that matter

But do we really want to be that kind of person? `-`

She probably sleeps too light for us to try to undress her at all beforehand...

[E-Nazrin]

Let's save that for someone where that would be more fitting, or shocking. Maybe the Yama. Meiling is too easy a mark to up the ante that quickly.

Also we need to steal all the dildos first

[Validon98]

Hey, we did kiss Mamizou, and we kind of are willing to do anything we can in order to surprise people. :V

In terms of condensing the water, if we collect the water into a summoned umbrella, then that should work! If not that, then we fill one of them with the Misty Lake's water.

CUT: Fair enough. :V

[Raikaria]

>How much would tickling count toward surprising?

> Not really, you just sort of throw the water haphazardly.
> There's some sticks, but that's about it. Also dirt and mud nearer the bank of the lake.
> Depends if she is ticklish or not, although you figure being tickled awake would be pretty surprising if Meiling is ticklish.

> Besides, if you were to start kissing everyone Aya would probobly find out very quickly and then everyone would know. That would be hot gossip after all.

[E-Nazrin]

>How well would we be able to make a scary mask/addons for our face using the mud and sticks? Having that staring at her as she wakes up might do something...
>What about her hat? Or would she wake up if we even touched it?

[Raikaria]

>How well would we be able to make a scary mask/addons for our face using the mud and sticks? Having that staring at her as she wakes up might do something...
>What about her hat? Or would she wake up if we even touched it?

> You guess you could cover your face with mud and stick bits of stick on it.

> You won't know the result of touching Meiling's hat until you do it.

[E-Nazrin]

>How much remote control do we have over our umbrella half/true body?
>If we can, coordinate the umbrella-tongue licking Meiling's back while we give her a good "Urameshiya~!" from another direction.
