>put blue gem in a good vantage point to destructo-beam the alarm if the rabbits move for it, assuming that wouldn't set off the alarm itself
>Unfortunate Rise is here, since it might have been possible to bluff being a new arrival if we weren't immediately recognized!
>"Pardon me, but I've been hearing some rumors about odd things in the fields above here. Would any of you care to explain?"

>You quietly prepare to zap the alarm if needs be. You've never broken one before, so you don't know if it'll trigger anything or not.
>"Um..." says one of the domino players, shifting in her seat. "Not really."
>The second one seems to be trying to reach into her coat discreetly.
>Rise toys with the hem of her skirt.
>The wolf sits down beside you. You don't really take the time to look at him, but you get the feeling he doesn't really acknowledge the tension in the air.

>You give her the gunwink. She looks to Rise.
>"She can do it," Rise says, frowning, "I've seen it."
>The uniformed rabbit pales a little bit, and slowly draws out a pistol. You ready yourself in case she does something silly. "Don't shoot, okay?" says the rabbit.

>Your Inventory contains:
>Dress Suit w/ Stockings (Wore as clothes)
>A professional-looking business suit, blouse, knee-length skirt, and doubled up stockings. What could be classier?
>Cresent Pin (Worn as accessory)
>You wear this to remind you of home.
>Wave Sign: Mind Shaker
>A spellcard where you use your abilities to make twin pattern of bullets seem to go in directions they are not.
>Visionary Wave: Mind Blowing
>A more dense pattern following the same principle as Wave Sign: Mind Shaker. Reality will be terribly distorted to the victim.
>Lunatic Sign: Visionary Tuning (significantly expended)
>You disalign the wavelengths of a complex maze of bullets to try and trick your opponent into moving recklessly.
>Lunatic Gaze: Illusion Seeker
>Much like Lunatic Sign: Visionary Tuning, with a more aggressive pattern. It takes all of your concentration to use this well.
>Loafing Sign: Idling Wave (half expended)
>This attack surrounds your target with bullets, and distorts them, forcing them to make fast decisions to avoid being caught in the middle.
>Indolence: Mind Stopper
>It takes a lot of concentration to correctly apply this card and keep up the stream of bullets.
>Spread Sign: Invisible Full Moon
>Overlapping dense circular patterns of bullets, and alternating their wavelengths to force the victim to see one or other. It is simple, yet highly effective against the unwary.
>Lunar Eyes: Tele-Mesmerism
>This is your ultimate attack, hitting an opponent with two huge waves of bullets, then shifting them as much as you can. It will leave you with a nasty headache and blurred vision.
>Pair of Tinted Glasses.
>These wire-rimmed glasses have tinted lenses; they also make an odd translucent shadow on the ground when light shines through them.
>Beautiful Seashell
>An exquisite cowrie shell.
>Dark Blue Backpack
>A large backpack, perfect for stuffing full of things.
>Faerie Ribbon
>A simple ribbon of cream-white silk given to you by a faerie.
>Bottle of Wind
>A Blue Bottle blessed by Kanako to contain a windstorm.
>625☼
>This is 625☼
>Red Gem
>This is an oval-shaped gem of artificial origin. You have drawn upon its power, and it has strengthened you. It is attuned to fire, and excels at short range attacking.
>Silver Medal (Worn as Accessory)
>This decoration seems to have an enchantment to impart a measure of mental fortitude on the wearer.
>Candid Friend
>A song incorporating odd phrases and rhythms, in hopes that it will be pleasing to listen to after encountering it often.
>Opal Brooch
>A small brooch with an opal set in it.
>Blue Gem
> This is an eight-sided gem of artificial origin. You have drawn upon its power, and it has strengthened you. It is attuned to light, creates beams, and imparts beam-like qualities to your attacks and the other gems
>Purple Gem
>This is an gem of artificial origin with five-sided facets. You have drawn upon its power, and it has strengthened you. It is attuned to force, and manifests this through steady and endless streams of powerful bullets.
>Dirty Black Feather.
>A black feather with a fair amount of grime on it. It is rather large.
>Heal Plus tm potion
>A specialty of Eirin's. Don't take more than three a day.
>Green Gem
>A gem shaped like a triangular pyramid. You have drawn upon its power, and it has strengthened you. It is attuned to attraction, and can impart attraction qualities to your attacks and the other gems.
>Vial of Pollen
>A vial of pollen from lilies of the valley. It is enough to kill a person if ingested, or make them very ill if breathed in.
>Sealing Talisman Set
>A set of four talismans designed to entrap immaterial things and creatures from Makai.
>Your Current Quests Are:
>Revenge of the Buddha vs Yamato
>The Hakurei Shrine and Byakuren's group are having a nasty misunderstanding involving UFOs and spying. Word from many sources say they are heading north of human town, and south of Yuka's Fields. You've found a Lunarian outpost there.
>Prismrivers Comeback?
>Patchouli asked you to look into the Prismrivers reuniting. You've taken an active hand in getting them back together. They should all be playing at The Felt now.
>Alice's Hookup
>You've been recruited to help Alice find a special someone, or at least a friend. Results with Hina have been mixed, but they don't seem to hate each other. You've invited them to a play at Eientei!
>You Self-Appointed Goals are:
>Prove That I'm Not a Useless Rabbit, Good Only For My Sex Appeal
>People have been talking, you gotta do something about it. You've done well so far, you think.
>Invent a Base Six Pair of Pants
>You don't know what the faeries were talking about when they mentioned this, but it needs to exist. It has been theorized to involve either dice or headquarters.
>A Song for Eirin
>Eirin said she would like to hear a song from you, after learning Mystia was willing to give you some lessons.
>Lakeshore Longing
>You can feel an inexplicable feeling is something fascinating within the lake, and find it hard to resist the lure to investigate.

>"Boss said not to reveal anything..." says Rise, worrying at the hem of her skirt and looking distinctly uncomfortable. "We're not supposed to say anything about our activities, even if caught...um...sorry?"

> Mess with the waves in the room if they won't comply.

>You don't think this would do much. Your abilities were pretty well known among the Lunarians and the Moon Rabbits before you left. They'd probably know it's just a scary-looking display and nothing actually threatening.

It's a matter of will you leave behind your rather well beaten selves, which I can enact quite easily, and then betray yourselves as I get a friend here to help out, or will you leave behind things voluntarily and at least get a decent place to live, as well as what will probably amount to an easier life here, in Eientai. I can't guarantee anything, but I'm pretty sure that I could convince Lady Kaguya to take you three in."

>"Um, there is something we could do," says Rise. "We could take you to see the boss."
>"Wouldn't we have to take her prisoner for that?" asks the pistol-carrying rabbit.
>"I don't see why we would have to," Rise answers. "It's just icing on the cake, when you think about it."
