Maribel Hearn Quest - ACT I: Part 2

[Monarda]

//Okay, let me just info you here, i have no knowledge of what the hell happens in any Touhou game that's after 10. :V

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Alright, let's do Raf's. Ignoring them would probably bite us back later...

>You decide that ignoring this would be unwise.

>Let's not head to the receptionist right now.
>"You two please stop !"

>They stop arguing and start looking at you.

>Take a serious stance:"..... okay, nobody is going be shot again because Lady Yukari took care of the gun, and you can't just go after someone blindly like that."
>Relax.

>"Wait a second... How do you know something like that?" Marisa's eyes narrow, "Did you see it yourself? Wait... Does that mean you saw who the attacker was?"
>"Marisa, that's enough." Alice frowns, before looking to you, "Anyway, it's Maribel, right? What are you doing here? Did you find whoever you were looking for?"
>Shanghai waves at you.

>"And have you guys seen Miss Fujiwara around ?"

>"Mokou? No, I haven't seen her..."
>"Oi! I asked you a question!" Marisa exclaims.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I had to help Reimu. Yukari came just in time though, because I couldn't do much. She said she had something to take care of, so I assumed she meant the attacker..."
>"And yes, I found my friend. We've got to find Mokou now, so please tell me if you see her."
>_

[Monarda]

Hey ! Don`t ignore Shanghai !

>Wave back to Shanghai.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I had to help Reimu. Yukari came just in time though, because I couldn't do much. She said she had something to take care of, so I assumed she meant the attacker..."

>"Damn..." says Marisa, "I was hoping you knew something ze~..."

>"And yes, I found my friend. We've got to find Mokou now, so please tell me if you see her."

>"Oh, that's good. Is that her right there?" Alice asks, "And like I said, I haven't seen her recently..."
>"I think she lives somewhere in this forest." says Marisa, "If anyone knows where she is, it would probably be Keine in the Human Village, the two are like, best friends or something... Well... There's also Kaguya... But the only way she'd lead you there is if you promised to help kill Mokou..."

>Wave back to Shanghai.

>Shanghai smiles.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Thank you Alice and Marisa. And Shanghai too." Take Renko's hand and head for the receptionist again.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Thank you Alice and Marisa. And Shanghai too." Take Renko's hand and head for the receptionist again.

>"You're welcome." Alice smiles.
>You take Renko's hand and begin heading for the receptionist. Chen follows you.
>Eventually, the three of you reach the lobby. The receptionist is sitting there with a bored expression.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Excuse new but has Mokou been around here recently?"
>Party check...
   >Examine Renko.
   >Examine Chen.
   >Examine self.

[Monarda]

>Examine surroundings.
>Examine Parser.
>Examine Fourth Wall

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Excuse new but has Mokou been around here recently?"

>"Mokou? I heard she was here earlier, and got into a fight with the princess as usual... But she's since been discharged..."

>Party check...
   >Examine Renko.

>Renko seems better than she was earlier, and you are still holding her hand.

   >Examine Chen.

>Chen smiles when you look at her. She seems happy, and waiting patiently.

   >Examine self.

>Your dress is still torn from bandaging Renko earlier. Otherwise you are fine.

>Examine surroundings.

>There are groups of rabbits talking amongst themselves throughout the lobby. There isn't really anything else of interest.

>Examine Parser.

>Try as you might. You cannot see him.

>Examine Fourth Wall

>There is a sign that says "No breakie!" on it.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I guess we have to search for her."
>"I don't really have anything to give to her though... She resembles a wolf a bit, and her name is Kagerou."

[Monarda]

>We can start by checking her yakitori stand i think ? They said it`s on the other path at the crossroad with the burnt sign.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I guess we have to search for her."

>"Hey, she can't be too hard to find, right?" says Chen.

>"I don't really have anything to give to her though... She resembles a wolf a bit, and her name is Kagerou."

>"Okay..." Renko replies.

>We can start by checking her yakitori stand i think ? They said it`s on the other path at the crossroad with the burnt sign.

>You vaguely remember Eirin's words from earlier about Mokou running a yakitori stand somewhere in the forest. It might be a good lead.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Let`s visit Mokou`s stand, it`s on the other path at the way we took to get here."
>Move to the doors and exit !

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Let`s visit Mokou`s stand, it`s on the other path at the way we took to get here."
>Move to the doors and exit !

>"Okay!" Chen smiles.
>"Alright, if you say so..." says Renko.

>You make your way out of the lobby and find your way in Eientei's courtyard. Ahead of you is the path that leads to the fork.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Start along the path.

[AzyWng]

>Which path did we take last time, the left path or the right one?
>Since we're leaving Eintei, if we took the left path last time we should go right, or go left if we took the right path last time.
>Right or left relative to us, that is, as opposed to the path we were going on our first visit to Eintei.

[Monarda]

>We took the right path if i`m not wrong, so we`ll take left now.
>"So Chen, if you have these cute and useful cat ears, does that mean you don`t have ears like ours ? If that`s the case, what do youkai like you do when they need to use glasses ?"

[Neovereign]

>Take the burnt looking path when we reach it. :V
>Or was it overgrown? I forgot...

[Monarda]

>Just take the path that`s at the side of the one we took to get here ! Done !
>Uh, you two Maribels.... that`s why i like you guys. 

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Start along the path.

>You start walking across the courtyard with your party, ready to start down the path.

>"So Chen, if you have these cute and useful cat ears, does that mean you don`t have ears like ours ? If that`s the case, what do youkai like you do when they need to use glasses ?"

>"Well, um... the thing is..." Chen walks up and whispers in your ear, "_{^{I kinda have both... But my hair hides the human-like ears... I don't even know why I have them, I mean, I can hear just fine through my normal ears... The other ones... sorta don't do anything...}}"

>Which path did we take last time, the left path or the right one?
>Since we're leaving Eintei, if we took the left path last time we should go right, or go left if we took the right path last time.
>Right or left relative to us, that is, as opposed to the path we were going on our first visit to Eintei.

>We took the right path if i`m not wrong, so we`ll take left now.

>Take the burnt looking path when we reach it. :V
>Or was it overgrown? I forgot...

>Just take the path that`s at the side of the one we took to get here ! Done !

>You remember to take the path you didn't take to get to Eientei when you reach the fork.

[Neovereign]

>"We aren't forgetting anything right? Koishi said that she'd be alright, right?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"We aren't forgetting anything right? Koishi said that she'd be alright, right?"

>"I think so..." says Chen.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Okay then, let's go."
>Start heading down the path, but be wary of any pitfalls.

[AzyWng]

>Last time we were here we used a trick with a bamboo rod/shoot to sweep the area in front of us for pit traps and the like.
>Repeat this trick, using one of the bamboo around this area.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Okay then, let's go."
>Start heading down the path, but be wary of any pitfalls.

>Last time we were here we used a trick with a bamboo rod/shoot to sweep the area in front of us for pit traps and the like.
>Repeat this trick, using one of the bamboo around this area.

>You start down the path, using a bamboo stalk to sweep the area in front of you. After a while, you reach the fork.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Examine the charred sign.
>Examine the other path again.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Examine the charred sign.

>You examine the sign.
>You can barely make out the word "Eientei" on it. There seems to have been an arrow on it at one point, but it's too badly charred to decipher what direction it was pointing.

>Examine the other path again.

>The path seems slightly overgrown.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Start heading down the overgrown path carefully.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Start heading down the overgrown path carefully.

>You begin to head down the overgrown path with your companions.
