Deliverator: 30 minutes or less! (Restart)

>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.

> They are, straight downwards in fact.  One is bearing right down on top of you!
> You take off, running to the side as the orb crashes to the ground, shaking the earth on impact.  Your knees buckle, but you manage to hold your ground.
> Another is barreling towards you, but you can spy an open area ahead.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Move ahead!
>If we can get what feels like a safe distance from it, try to gauge how much it can touch up before it hits our core.
>Prepare for the impact, keep knees bent to absorb the shock.

>Move ahead!
>If we can get what feels like a safe distance from it, try to gauge how much it can touch up before it hits our core.
>Prepare for the impact, keep knees bent to absorb the shock.

> You leap forwards, the orb continuing into the ground.
> Despite being in the clear for a bit, you decide to press your luck a little.
> Your knees ready, you approach the orb as it buries into the ground.  You remember being able to at least sacrifice an arm with no consequence.
> You stick your arm in quickly.  It feels...slightly warm, odd considering the color.  Not enough to knock you down though.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Be on the lookout for the next oncoming shot, and the ones around it.
>If it feels like there's time, assess what Mima is doing.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Be on the lookout for the next oncoming shot, and the ones around it.
>If it feels like there's time, assess what Mima is doing.

> You remove your arm and feeling sad and lonely look to the sky.  What a surprise, you're right in the path of an orb!
> Despite the size, you can see several flanking it.  A good decision would be to run.
> Not really time to lolligag, but you're not sure which direction Mima disappeared off to.
> "And you're not even going to fight back? What a shame!" calls a voice from far off.

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Could we tell where the voice came from?
> If so "Heh, just trying to dodge and learn the pattern. If I'm gonna learn, I gotta learn how to dodge well, THEN counter effectivly and cap a card or two."
> RUN! If we think we can't make it just by running, make a dive and hope for the best.

> RUN! If we think we can't make it just by running, make a dive and hope for the best.

> It sounded distant, but it seemed to be from behind you.
> You decide to book it, shouting a rather long-winded taunt as you run through the orb field.  For just a bit of flair, you add a little dive at the end, clearing the orbs easily.
> "Then you need more practice!  A ha ha ha~!"
> The red orbs burst with color, shrinking to about half their size while a spiral of new orbs spin out of the color explosion.  Many colored orbs swirl around the field tightly, you wonder if you'll be able to avoid them all.

[Hello Purvis]

>Does there seem to be places where those spinning orbs aren't so thick?

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Keep running and circle around to where we heard Mima's voice from.
> Try to get a visual on Mima, and if w think we see her at all, toss some Danmaku at her!
> "Unwinable Boss Fight my rear! It's just a really freaking hard fight! Nothing time, effort and the Konami Code can't beat!"

[Rin Kagamine]

>Does there seem to be places where those spinning orbs aren't so thick?

> Only for negligible amounts of time, but you think you might be able to navigate it.  Thankfully they're all going the same direction.

> Keep running and circle around to where we heard Mima's voice from.
> Try to get a visual on Mima, and if w think we see her at all, toss some Danmaku at her!
> "Unwinable Boss Fight my rear! It's just a really freaking hard fight! Nothing time, effort and the Konami Code can't beat!"

> You jump into the stream!
> Oh god oh god there's orbs EVERYWHERE this is bad oh god
> You awkwardly run between orbs, moving against the flow.  It's neither easy nor fun, but so far so good!
> You look around for Mima and see noth-oh wait there she is.  That blue outfit is pretty distinct, but she's pretty far off, maybe 50 meters or so?  Farther than Wriggle for sure.
> Oh, trying to cheat huh?

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

> Try and keep running towards her, once we get roughly 45-35 meters from her, try and unleash a bullet or two at her.
> Dodge to the away from any bullets that would hit us. If they would hit our right, dodge left and vice versa. Try to jump over bullets that are about to hit the ground ahead of us.

> CHARGE!  You throw caution to the wind and dash straight ahead!
> Suddenly, you think excessively about the proper logistics pertaining to dodging shots.  Unfortunately, you decide to think in the middle of a swirling shot parade, so despite your perfectly-constructed plans to avoid shots, you find it impossible to escape entirely unscathed.  Several shots drill through your arms and shoulders.  However, your quick thinking with jumping leads to your legs not being hit.
> But it does place you in the path of a shot that passes directly through your chest, dropping you to the ground with a thud, oof.
> Thankfully the card breaks shortly afterwards, so you manage to avoid a repeat of the Koishi fiasco.  Luckily, Mima's shots don't seem to hurt as badly as Koishi's, wonder why that is?
> From Mima's direction you hear a foul cackling.  Ah yes, perhaps she just couldn't concentrate on the card?  That seems more in line with her character.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Fight the temptation to shoot her anyways.
>Make a mental note that just wading in is a bad idea, Tear.
>Let Ghiggles the Ghost get it out of her system.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Fight the temptation to shoot her anyways.
>Make a mental note that just wading in is a bad idea, Tear.
>Let Ghiggles the Ghost get it out of her system.

> Satisfying as that may be, it would likely end the grace you're currently receiving.
> You resolve to make a better battle plan next time Gadget, next time.
> Luckily, Mima calms down fairly quickly.
> "OK," you imagine she'd be wiping tears from her face if she even has the ability to cry, "good as that was for a laugh, you said you wanted to learn.  Care to try again?"

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>How much shit do we feel like? Could we have another go?
>If so: "One more time."

[Rin Kagamine]

>How much shit do we feel like? Could we have another go?
>If so: "One more time."

> You think your pride took a bigger hit than your body, but you figure that you could probably go for another card.
> "It's totally understandable if you want to give up now.  I gotta thank you though, been a while since I've had a laugh like that and it wasn't at Rei-rei's expense!"
> Well isn't she cocky...

>_

[MysTeariousYukari]

Ok I goofed at thinking we could dodge while moving. I messed up and didn't listen when you told us that. >.> Vic didn't say that we couldn't dodge and run, you can completly blame me

[Hello Purvis]

>Okay, yeah. Perhaps this falls more into Yoshi's school of thought, but she's getting shot somewhere.
>"One more time."

[Rin Kagamine]

>Okay, yeah. Perhaps this falls more into Yoshi's school of thought, but she's getting shot somewhere.
>"One more time."

> Yoshi might be more concerned with finding out if her breasts are corporeal, but getting revenge would definitely be a high priority.
> Mima floats towards you, halving the distance between the two of you.
> "Alright then, if you insist."  She removes another card.  "I'll show you the power of the dead.  Astral sign: Poltergeist Projection!"
> Within seconds you're surrounded on all sides by Mimas.  With a wave of their collective hands, a flurry of shots fill the air, floating about slowly in all directions.  The north looks safe for now though.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Move northward, and shoot at the various Mimai, to see how they react.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Move northward, and shoot at the various Mimai, to see how they react.

> You hustle up northward, thankful for the slowness of the shots.
> Once settled you fire off a few shots towards the Mimas ahead of you.  Hey, this shooting thing is getting easier!  Granted, your shots don't seem to be as powerful as Mima's, but it's still progress.
> Oddly, none of the MImas dodge your shots, choosing instead to stand stock still.  One lucky shot connects with a Mima, causing her to pop out of existence.
> Another hand wave.  No more bullets, but they zip around faster, one of them clipping your leg.  West seems rather thick with shots, but further south of it seems clear.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Move southward.
>Once we feel out of the storm, observe the Mimai. Try to see if one strikes us as unusual; in behavior or appearance.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Move southward.
>Once we feel out of the storm, observe the Mimai. Try to see if one strikes us as unusual; in behavior or appearance.

> You head south again, bound for the promised land of the clear southwest!  A shot drills your arm, but you shake it off.
> The shots clear a bit and you glance towards the Mimas.  They all seem the look the same though, not a difference among them.
> Well, one looks a little different.  She looks a little, what's the word?  Oh yes, normal.
> A shot whizzes by your head.  Time to move again!

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Aim and shoot at the normal one, then move on to the next clear area; taking care to avoid shots along the way.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Aim and shoot at the normal one, then move on to the next clear area; taking care to avoid shots along the way.

> You fire off a shot, which Mima deftly dodges.
> Eastward!  You move with stuttering steps, trying desperately to avoid being hit.  One nails your right hand, but you're unscathed for now.
> You figure you have enough time for a quick breath before moving on again.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Take a moment to regather our breath, keeping an eye on the field.
>If plausible, try to keep an eye on the Mima that dodged at the same time.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Take a moment to regather our breath, keeping an eye on the field.
>If plausible, try to keep an eye on the Mima that dodged at the same time.

> You gather your breath and look around for Mima, finding her without difficulty.
> In fact, you find yourself facing all the Mimas, the bullets having disappeared.
> Another hand wave.  A cyclone of speedy bullets tears towards you.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Get out of the way of the cyclone, and try to figure out what it's doing.

[Rin Kagamine]

>Get out of the way of the cyclone, and try to figure out what it's doing.

> You jump to your left to try and dodge.  The cyclone turns to your left as well and continues forward.
> Oh how wonderful, it's following you.

>_

[Hello Purvis]

>Try to circle so that it's no longer between us and the actual Mima, get close, and shoot her up.
