Face, meet fist. This is Akyu Quest!

[Hello Purvis]

>Yeah, let's make a dash for it and hope to find something useful in the storeroom.

[Fightest]

> You dash away, towards the storeroom. Bullets fly past you, but none hit so far, instead impacting into the walls and floor, gouging out huge chunks of wood and plaster, sending shrapnel flying everywhere.
> The storeroom is full of old junk that Eientei's doctor is notorious for having trouble throwing away. There are stands and displays from the Lunar exhibition piled up, as well as unidentifiable chunks of wood and metal. Smaller trinkets and artifacts are strewn around, making the floor a potential hazard for bare feet.
> There is a window on the other side of the store-room, behind boxes and crates, high up and quite small - for ventilation rather than for light. You're quite small yourself, you could probably fit through if you squeezed.

[theshirn]

> Window is suicide.  Get some cover, see if you can block her expanded line of sight.

[Hello Purvis]

>Get behind the crates, and take a better inventory of what is here.
>We need places to lure Reisen in, or things that would be helpful in dealing with her. Right now, more cover is more better, until we close the distance.

[Fightest]

> The room is filled with a plethora of various objects with varying properties - large or small, hard or soft, sharp or blunt, shiny or matte, etc. Which of these would you like to examine further?

[Hello Purvis]

>Shields and shield-like objects.
>Obviously magical things.
>Things that Reisen wouldn't dare shoot in the direction of.

[Fightest]

>Shields and shield-like objects.
>Obviously magical things.
>Things that Reisen wouldn't dare shoot in the direction of.

> There are plates, sheets and boards of every kind stacked up against one of the walls - wood, metal, glass, other materials that you can't identify.
> There are no magical things here that you can see immediately - it is unlikely that they would be tossed into a storeroom in such a careless manner in the first place.
> The same applies to precious items that Reisen would not want to damage.

[Hello Purvis]

>Look for a bit of metal that would serve as a usable shield.
>Examine the trinkets and artifacts on the floor, if Reisen doesn't come bursting in.

[Fightest]

>Look for a bit of metal that would serve as a usable shield.
>Examine the trinkets and artifacts on the floor, if Reisen doesn't come bursting in.

> You find a concave sheet of white-painted metal that's your height. It has rivets all around the sides, as if it were connected to something larger once. You can move it around, but, whilst carrying it, you won't be able to perform complex acrobatics.
> You are not given a chance to examine the stuff strewn across the floor as a bullet comes ricocheting into the room, bouncing off the walls a few times, before embedding itself in the far wall, showering you with dust and plaster.

[Hello Purvis]

>Grab that metal bit, quietly as possible.
>How close was Reisen to hitting us?
>Wait a bit.

[Fightest]

>Grab that metal bit, quietly as possible.
>How close was Reisen to hitting us?
>Wait a bit.

> You sneakily appropriate the metal sheet.
> It ricocheted randomly off the walls without really coming near you - the room is not very big, however, so a random deflection could well have sent it in your direction.
> Your vision of the doorway starts to warp and bend again, revealing bits of the corridor, as well as occasional glimpses of Reisen - looks like she's scanning the room from a distance.
> You hear her voice echoing down the hallway.
> "Lunar bullets. The greatest danmaku ever made. Six shots - more than enough to incapacitate anything that moves."
> The hallway outside lights up briefly before bullet after bullet streams into the storeroom, bouncing wildly around the place, until a total of six blazing-fast bullets are ricocheting from every object, each one a potential shot straight at you!

[Hello Purvis]

>Back to the wall, or a large wall-like object, shield in front of us.  Present as small a target as possible. If we can do so in a way that would leave us unseen go for that. But not getting shot is preferable

[Fightest]

> You back away into cover, protecting your front with your improvised shield. You feel a heavy impact as a bullet bounces off at an oblique angle.
> The bullets...don't stop ricocheting. Whatever magic forms them seems to keep them going until they hit a valid target. In this case, probably something fleshy.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Keep waiting, while keeping calm.
> Try to listen for footsteps or other signs of human/humanoid movement. Do we know what sound, if any, flight makes? The flight many people have.

[Fightest]

> Keep waiting, while keeping calm.
> Try to listen for footsteps or other signs of human/humanoid movement. Do we know what sound, if any, flight makes? The flight many people have.

> You wait, bullets bouncing off your shield and the wall around you.
> One hits distressingly close to your right temple before shooting off somewhere. Your hair and clothes are almost white from the dust and plaster chips flying everywhere. One is going to hit you eventually.
> It's practically impossible to make out sounds now - all you hear are the ricochets of the bullets. You do recall that flight is mostly noiseless, although many like to augment their flight with fancy effects and sounds.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Can we tell where the bullets are based on the sound they make when bouncing off of something?
> If yes to the above, then wait until the path between us and Reisen is somewhat safer, less likly for a bullet to bounce into it, then ditch our shield and charge for Reisen and hit her as hard and fast as we can.

[Hello Purvis]

>Before attempting any charges, build up a good kiai; we're going to need it to get through that distorted area. Also be ready to duck and weave around any shots Reisen might toss at us.
>If we do get close to her, grab onto her with our off hand. Clothes, hair, tit, arms, whatever. Just grab on and don't let go so she can't leap away.

[Seian Verian]

> No, don't ditch our shield. Charging hardly falls under "complex acrobatics" and we shouldn't give up any defense until we need to do so for effective offense.

[Hello Purvis]

>Oh of course. We don't drop the shield unless it seriously hinders our charge, or we get a hold on Reisen.

[Fightest]

> Can we tell where the bullets are based on the sound they make when bouncing off of something?

>Before attempting any charges, build up a good kiai; we're going to need it to get through that distorted area. Also be ready to duck and weave around any shots Reisen might toss at us.

> You shout!
> Your Qi expands to fill the storeroom, the bullets ricocheting around it leaving glowing ripping trails, visible to your now-enhanced senses.
> A normal human would have no idea, but you, with your Eidetic Memory, can see it perfectly - the bullets' movement is not random. Each follows a pre-determined pattern, shifting a bullet's-width upon completion of every cycle, systematically hitting every point in the storeroom over time.
> You can either use this knowledge to attempt to dodge them - this will require losing the shield. Alternatively, you can still try pushing through with your shield, which will take more time.
> It's impossible to hear, but you can just spot Reisen casually walking up to look into the storeroom and the havok her bullets are wreaking.

[Jana]

>Wait for Reisen to get close enough for us to ditch the shield and charge her. With our memory, we should be able to find an opening through her bullets and land a good punch on her solar plexus. If we can succeed in knocking the wind out of her, it'll be much easier to get out of the danger zone.

> Reisen seems content to stand just outside the doorway and look at her handiwork. Still, she's pretty close, all things considering.
> You send the shield flying and dash from your hiding spot!
> Bullets come from every direction, but, with your enhanced perception, it is as if they're moving in slow motion!
> You veer to the left to dodge the first bullet, and continue the movement to throw your entire upper body sideways to dodge the second bullet. Pushing away from the ground with your hand, you launch yourself over the third bullet and into a spin, your entire body now parallel to the ground.
> Thrusting your right arm out, you use the momentum of the spin to deflect a fourth bullet with your gauntleted hand, and land into a runner's crouch. The fifth bullet coming in at knee-height causes you to launch your legs upwards, and you flip forwards over your head, and back into the runner's crouch, having completed a full 360 somersault. You plant your feet firmly, explode towards the doorway, and land a thunderous punch into Reisen's midsection, flinging her bodily into the opposite wall.
> You tilt your head to the right, and the last bullet shoots just past your left ear and smashes into the wall above Reisen, who's collapsed into a heap on the ground in front of you.
> She coughs up blood, but shakily starts getting up.
> "Just... what I'd expect... from a fighter with a Value as high as Fujiwara's."

[Hello Purvis]

(And as I read that, Black Sabbath's I starts to play on Winamp. Hilariously inappropriate)

>Close the distance, and grab her hair before she can do anything.
>"Surrender now, I have no wish to hurt you further. Persuade the Princess to surrender as well and we shall be done and leave you in peace."
>If she tries anything, give her a good strike in a soft bit to dissuade her; block first if necessary.

> If she still persists after this, knock her unconscious with a well placed blow to the head.'
> Only hard enough to knock her unconscious though.  We don't want to leave any permanent damage.

> Only hard enough to knock her unconscious though.  We don't want to leave any permanent damage.

> Stop trying to pull punches!  No one's going to die from what we can bring and we need every ounce of strength we can muster!
> Akyu's Fist.  Reisen's gut.  Make it happen.

>If she tries anything, give her a good strike in a soft bit to dissuade her; block first if necessary.

> You grab her by her hair, snagging an ear in the process as well. She winces in pain.
> She sneers at your remark, quickly bringing a gun-finger to your face. You dodge the bullet just in time.
> In return, she nimbly twists in your grip to avoid your blow.

> If she still persists after this, knock her unconscious with a well placed blow to the head.

> Stop trying to pull punches!  No one's going to die from what we can bring and we need every ounce of strength we can muster!
> Akyu's Fist.  Reisen's gut.  Make it happen.

> You smash her in the head, sending her blood and spittle flying from her mouth.
> Without turning her head back, she shoots from her hip with one hand, strafing bullets across your midsection, while slowly turning to expose her other hand, tucked behind her back, into a firing arc towards your knees.
> You get a bullet to your right shoulder, which feels like shoulder-charging a brick wall, which sends you spinning away and off-balance, still with Reisen's hair held in your left hand - your sudden movement pulls her along as well and both of you slam into the wall.
> Thankfully, due your sudden change of location, the other set of bullets miss.
> You pull yourself towards Reisen and land a fist in her gut, doubling her over.

[Hello Purvis]

>If she's not KOed, do so.
>If she is KOed, check to see if she seems down for the count, or if she'll need another one to send her on her way.

[Mr_Bob]

>Check arrangement of bodies.

[Hello Purvis]

>Once we're satisfied that Reisen won't be a problem, get to Eirin's office. We need medical supplies.
