> "Do my few encounters with you count? Cause if not, then no."

[Rin Kagamine]

>"Not a bit of experience. no."

> "Do my few encounters with you count? Cause if not, then no."

> "Nono, other ghosts only wish they were like me.  Sadly, no other ghost is as wonderful or as enchanting as me."
> She does a little spin; enchanting is not the first word you'd use to describe her.
> You finally reach the end of the forest.  Mima zips ahead of you around the south side of the village.
> "Come on!"

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow her!

[Rin Kagamine]

>Follow her!

> It's not fair that she doesn't have to run!
> You give chase!  She continues to wrap around the village, cackling as she flies, looping back and forth as you catch up.
> She stops by the bridge Keine-sensei showed you earlier on your way to the Bamboo Forest.  By the time you reach her you are quite out of breath.
> "Man, you really aren't that fun huh?"

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"W-well, excuse me-"
>Huff
>"-Can't be all that-"
>Puff
>"-entertaining when-"
>Huff
>"I'm running at top speed after you."
>Wheeze.

[Rin Kagamine]

>"W-well, excuse me-"
>Huff
>"-Can't be all that-"
>Puff
>"-entertaining when-"
>Huff
>"I'm running at top speed after you."
>Wheeze.

> "Well then, maybe you should leave the land of the Living and become a ghost.  Have you ever thought about it?"

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Work on catching breath.
>"Sure, just give me a few score of years to get ready."

[Rin Kagamine]

>Work on catching breath.
>"Sure, just give me a few score of years to get ready."

> "Oh, I'm not ready to be a ghost!  I've still got all this living to do!"  She waves her arms and uses a mocking tone, no wonder Reimu snapped.
> While you're still trying to catch your breath, she sets off again, seeming to take the same path you took towards the Underground. 
> "It's worth some thought, there are worse ways to become a youkai, and even if you fail to become sentient there's a chance you'll wind up at Hakugyokurou, so things could be worse I suppose."
> Back into the green fields, where exactly is she going?

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow her. "Yeah, that about sums it up. A whole lot of living to do. Speaking of such, what do you do around the shrine?"

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Ponder challenging Mima to a Danmaku duel, for the sole sake of a bit of fun and training our skills.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Follow her. "Yeah, that about sums it up. A whole lot of living to do. Speaking of such, what do you do around the shrine?"

> "But when you're alive you have responsibilities and the like, but as a ghost?  Why, you have all the time in the world!  Who ever said that living is only for the living?"
> She zips around some more, flying in great arcing loops and spins before bobbing over to you.
> "Take me for instance: I stop by the shrine for tea and to bother Rei-rei, but aside from that there isn't anything I have to do!  I'm free to come and go as I please, terrify those in the forest, wander through the village, whatever I desire.  And besides, no one cares to stop a ghost."

> Ponder challenging Mima to a Danmaku duel, for the sole sake of a bit of fun and training our skills.

> You consider it.  She is being rather nice to take you to the Poltergeist Mansion, and you really wouldn't want to offend her.  You also have no idea how strong she is.  Still, it might be good for practice, and it'd almost certainly amuse her.
> The two of you continue up the rolling hills.  My goodness is it a wonderful day!
> "So then, what do you want with the Prismrivers anyway?  Having a big party or something?"

>_

[Kasu]

> "Naw, I have a package that needs delivering.  Violin strings I believe."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I'm surprised you don't have problems with charms and seals and talismans and other things like that that you'd find around a shrine, actually."

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Naw, I have a package that needs delivering.  Violin strings I believe."

> "Lunasa snapped hers?  Never thought I'd see the day."

>"I'm surprised you don't have problems with charms and seals and talismans and other things like that that you'd find around a shrine, actually."

> "You'd think, but unless they're actually being used they aren't an issue.  If they're just sitting there, unblessed and unused, there's no power behind them.  Why would I have an issue?  It's not like ~I~ cause trouble!  A ha ha ha~"
> Her laughter carries over the hills.  To the right, the scenery grows darker and less inviting than the greenery ahead of you.  Mima starts for the right, beckoning you to follow.

>_

[Kasu]

> Follow.
> "Whats the deal with the sudden change in scenery?"

[Rin Kagamine]

> Follow.
> "Whats the deal with the sudden change in scenery?"

> You follow her as she bobs over towards the darkness.  You think you can make out some buildings in the distance.
> "Land of the Dead," she says very matter-of-factly.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"Ah, that explains it. I'm surprised a lively soul like yourself would want anything to do with it."
>Follow the shrimp sorcerer

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Time to ask 'bout a duel, very least to see if she knows someone who would be willing, the practice is nice, and the duels seem kinda fun.
> "Hey Mima, since I'm kinda new at Danmaku and such, do you know anyone who might be up for having a for-fun duel?"

[Rin Kagamine]

>"Ah, that explains it. I'm surprised a lively soul like yourself would want anything to do with it."
>Follow the shrimp sorcerer

> She tosses her hair at your mention of lively.
> "Well, while it may be true that I'm far more entertaining than the others, you are still looking for ghosts, so naturally they'd be around here.  Of course, this isn't just for the non-living.  The entire area is older, less going on and all that.
> Speaking of shrimp, some of that would be quite nice right now.  Mmmm

> Time to ask 'bout a duel, very least to see if she knows someone who would be willing, the practice is nice, and the duels seem kinda fun.
> "Hey Mima, since I'm kinda new at Danmaku and such, do you know anyone who might be up for having a for-fun duel?"

> No time like the present!
> She stops and zips right up to your face.
> "For fun?  You want to duel someone for fun?  Most would wipe the floor with you, myself included!"
> She gestures towards herself before throwing her head back and cackling "A ha ha ha~"
> "So," the laughter suddenly ceasing, "rather than deliver your package you'd prefer to fight?  Is that so~?"

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I was thinking the first thing, then the second, actually."

[Rin Kagamine]

>"I was thinking the first thing, then the second, actually."

> "I see, so you just want to toss a few bullets around then.  With who?  And why would you want to?"

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>"I figure it's probably a good idea to get better at it while I can, before some lug decides I'm done with the practice rounds."

[MysTeariousYukari]

> "Besides, let's say I dueled with you. I'd see how a pro does it, and would learn from that. How does it go, practice makes perfect or something? You would probly be some of the best practice I could get, considering how good you are."

[Rin Kagamine]

>"I figure it's probably a good idea to get better at it while I can, before some lug decides I'm done with the practice rounds."

> "Not one for Rei-rei's assurances of safety huh?  I suppose there's something to be said for that."

> "Besides, let's say I dueled with you. I'd see how a pro does it, and would learn from that. How does it go, practice makes perfect or something? You would probly be some of the best practice I could get, considering how good you are."

> "Oh please, methinks you doth flatter too much.  A ha ha ha~!"
> That laugh is starting to grate...
> She backs away finally and "kneels" before you.
> "What inspired you to suddenly desire the practice now though?  Scared of ghosts?  Keep in mind that a fight with me would be much more difficult than your practice round earlier, is that really what you want?"

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

> "Well, with one match under my belt, thought I should ask. Besides, I'm asking knowing that you'll be really really difficult."

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Well, with one match under my belt, thought I should ask. Besides, I'm asking knowing that you'll be really really difficult."

> "A ha ha ha~!  Difficult is certainly one way to put it.  Well I certainly can't fault you you for your bravery."
> She reaches into her vest and removes a small piece of paper.  Hey, that looks familiar...
> Oh right, spellcard.
> "I haven't really had a chance to spread my wings for a while, funny you should ask now!  A ha ha ha~!"
> She holds the card next to her face, still kneeling on the ground.  "Any objections?  Otherwise prepare yourself!"

>_

[Kasu]

> "I'm good.  Lets do this."
> Get into a dodging stance.
> Brace for impact.

[MysTeariousYukari]

> "May the most graceful win, as they say." Give a little laugh.

[Rin Kagamine]

> "May the most graceful win, as they say." Give a little laugh.

> "For someone so hesitant to become you a ghost, you don't balk at danger."
> Thankfully, she doesn't counter you laugh with one of her own.

> "I'm good.  Lets do this."
> Get into a dodging stance.
> Brace for impact.

> "Wandering sign: Lost Soul!"
> The ground rocks with an immense explosion as Mima shoots straight back nearly out of sight.  Great orbs of crimson begin to rain down upon you.
> You steel yourself for the onslaught, but it is getting rather close.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Are the orbs moving in straight lines, as raining would imply? If so, try to move between them.
>If not, just try to stay out of the way until we can understand what is going on.
