>The plan was to hide, since there are already too many people there.. so hide? All the same jazz we did right? Equip athletic bandages on legs, and turn into cat? Also with so much night... there is no possible way we could not be concealed at least.. even if that was the plan from beginning yes?

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Take a step back.

>We could jump into the fight, more power we have, the easier it'll take to take her down.

>Or we could sit back while they fight it our, come up with a way to take her out. But the way it seems to be going, someone might get hurt back.

Get graze like a pro... and such but really with those 4 people, and specially that one...., what are we doing here honestly?

[Kasu]

> Might be best to get a tad closer to Cirno so we can fire off our spell card near point-blank range.

[Kips McKipzerson]

>wait death what DID SHE JUST DIE AND WHAT WHAT
>equip bandages or whatever on your arms. SUPER POWER GOOOOO
>Fire off some Red danmaku in a circle pattern, with some blue stream danmaku coming out after that, and a random green spread. Fireworks man.
>Keep a spellcard ready juuuust in case.
>Try to use a lot of bullets. Like a lot. seriously a whole god damned lot

Don't do that if you want to live...

>Or we could sit back while they fight it our, come up with a way to take her out. But the way it seems to be going, someone might get hurt back.

>Hiding might have been a viable plan you think, but since it looks like she's already seen you, there's probably not gonna be any chance of that now.
>You attempt to step back, but you find that behind you is a sheer wall of ice! And what's more unnerving is that it's not just a wall, but rather, a dome around the area! "No....Escape....."
>The girl with the fire seems to have noticed this turn of events, and has turned her efforts towards trying to melt through the ice. But she's not getting much headway. Of course, that's not stopping her much. "@^%&#$! Hey, kid! You handle her while I try to melt us a way outta this oversized igloo!" Wow, last person you knew who swore like that was CidNitori.
>It also seems like she's the only other person who got caught in the dome other than you and who seems to be Cirno. The people who you assume to be Mystia and Wriggle must be on the other side of the ice, along with Rumia. Oh, aside from Ponga, who's in your Hat.

> Might be best to get a tad closer to Cirno so we can fire off our spell card near point-blank range.

>So you decide to close in a bit, seeing as how it looks like you'll have to be the one to fight her.

>wait death what DID SHE JUST DIE AND WHAT WHAT

>Keep a spellcard ready juuuust in case.
>Try to use a lot of bullets. Like a lot. seriously a whole god damned lot

>Wait what. Did the fire girl actually die?! But danmaku's supposed to be non-lethal... :ohdear:
>You decide to equip the Wrappings to your arms, and fire a ring-like spread of red arrowheads, you picked this trick up from Chen!
>As that's being fired, you switch it up to streams of blue shots, and add in an extra wave of green bubble shots of varying sizes!
>But Cirno seems unfazed by this, and just holds up a hand in front of her. Shockingly enough, one of the shots that hits her hand freezes instantly! And what's more troubling, the shots that hit the frozen shot also freeze instantly! pretty soon you're nearly hemmed in by your own frozen shots!
>You keep your only spellcard ready in case you have to use it.

> Throw in a crap load of lasers for good measure.

>You decide to switch over to lasers, and that seems to work a bit better, as they shatter the frozen shots into smaller shots, making it harder for Cirno to avoid damage! "...!?"
>However, it also makes it harder for you too!
>You've got your spellcard ready just in case, but it seems that between your barrage of lasers, and the stray shots you created by shattering your own frozen shots with said lasers, you'd say Cirno's having a tough time avoiding everything.
>She gets clipped a few times by the lasers every so often, but she's surprisingly able to keep her balance. She might be the strongest opponent you've faced yet!

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT PERFECT FREEZE
>Okay, So Normal bullets are a no go. Can we use any sort of homing bullets? If so, Fire off a laser, then the homing bullets. If not, just aim with regular bullets.
>Can we also use close quarters combat? Because it's time to go all CQC in this #@$^.

What does our spellcard do again?

Close quarters melee stuff is out because she can freeze us with a touch.

> Turn up the music by firing more lasers and if need be, switch to cat form to find smaller gaps in the danmaku.
> Try and get Ponga to distract Cirno so we can get a good hit on her but warn him about the whole freezing thing.

[Berzul]

>Oh well, the least we can do is to use the frozen bullets as a slight cover while dodging, but we need graze first.. Sho, Ponga would be the bait here, circle around her until we get enough graze.....

>We could also use the froggy ring on hands, since we can.. and then take it of for a "melee" attack, which is a huge mistake anyway... Also we can use Chopsticks as a weapon? hmm or Macca as Danmaku(Like komachi? ) If yes... do it ?

[Kyo Tanaka]

>Mokou's out since she's trying to unfreeze the dome, anyone else in a fighting fit?

>Bullet Pattern: Fire regular danmaku at Cirno, before the bullets touch her, fire laser at her, and left and right of her.

>"S-Stay back, nya! I-I know Kung-fu!"

>Looks like normal shots won't work, and you consider trying homing shots, but you're not sure how those work.
>So you decide to just fire some aimed shots, with much the same result as last attack! So you quickly stop yourself from firing more regular shots, and switch over to lasers.
>You consider getting into close combat range, but then you remember what Rumia told you about what she can do.
>You pull off you hat to bring Ponga into the fray, but the moment he hears he could get turned into an icecube, he flies off to the girl melting a way through the ice dome.
>So much for him being helpful.
>So far though, there's isn't much in the way of a fight though, the only danmaku in play is your own, and the ones she's frozen, as well as the stray ones created by your lasers hitting the frozen shots.
>It seems that, for whatever reason, she can't freeze lasers. Maybe this is the key to resolving the incident?

>You'd have Ponga bait her, but she doesn't seem to be firing, she's just freezing any shots near her. What could she be up to...? Besides, Ponga's hiding near the fire girl.
>You fire a fee shots, followed by a three way spread of Laser, but Cirno doesn't seem to do anything. In fact, she actually takes them head on!
>What's going on...why didn't she freeze the normal shots? You do have a funny feeling though, like something bad's gonna happen...Suddenly, you feel a sharp chill! You look down to find that your feet are starting to freeze to the ground!
>Cirno however, seems to not be doing much, in fact, it looks like she's just staring at you, just freezing any danmaku that comes near her.
>Seems almost like she's waiting for something...But you've fought several fairies in the past as you learned flight, the Presence you feel from her doesn't seem to be like that of a Fairy's...From what you've heard from Chen about what she looks like, this seems to be her but...
>For some reason, you also feel a faint energy within you...

Cirno's Status: ?

Your Status: 99% (Slow Freeze)
Mana Points: 8

~Tutorial Corner: Status Effects~
Sometimes you'll come across foes that can use more than just Danmaku, they can use bonus effects that do a variety of things.

• Slow Freeze: A light Damage over Time that also slows your reaction time.
• Lily Pollen: A small DoT that disrupts your physical attack power somewhat.
• Shaken Mind: A status effect that disrupts your overall offensive capabilities a fair bit.

There are more status effects than just these three, but be on guard all the same!

[Kyo Tanaka]

>"W-What!?"

>Try to get free.

>What does her Presence feels like? And what do we feel inside of ourself?

[Kips McKipzerson]

>can our hand turn into a drill because we really need some SPIRAL POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
>No but seriously Try to shoot her with a bunch of lasers.
> If we can change the direction of the lasers, make it so they all slowly move in towards Cirno.
>Can we trap her in a box of lasers?
>WHY IS THAT FIRE GIRL TAKING SO GOD DAMNED LONG AHHHH WE'RE GUNNA DIEEEE
>"Whats with you Cirno! Stop this!"

[Hanzo K.]

>"W-What!?"
>Try to get free.
>What does her Presence feels like? And what do we feel inside of ourself?

>You make a surprised exclamation, but Cirno seems unfazed by it. "Hee-hoo, soon you'll be an ice sculpture!" You know fairies are weird, but they definitely don't talk like that.
>You try to get free, and manage to break away from the ground, but the ice is still spreading!
>Her Presence feels kinda like...Hebichi's? Only a lot colder, almost like a snowman's...
>The faint energy feels kinda weird...but at the same time, it also feels as familiar as your own arms and legs. Maybe something triggered whatever it is..?
>Maybe if you tried focusing on it..?

>can our hand turn into a drill because we really need some SPIRAL POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
>No but seriously Try to shoot her with a bunch of lasers.
> If we can change the direction of the lasers, make it so they all slowly move in towards Cirno.
>Can we trap her in a box of lasers?
>WHY IS THAT FIRE GIRL TAKING SO GOD DAMNED LONG AHHHH WE'RE GUNNA DIEEEE
>"Whats with you Cirno! Stop this!"

>You fire off a barrage of lasers, and for some reason, Cirno just barely dodges them. You also hear a faint sound like the one you hear when you Graze. She couldn't be...Could she?
>Of course, you've heard of a way to make lasers curve, but you've never figured out how to get it to work. You kinda know how it works in theory, but you've never been able to get it to work.
>Trapping her in a barricade of lasers is tricky, but you think it might be doable.
>AAHWHATTHEHECKISTAKINGSOLONGYOUONLYHAVETOMELTADOOR-SIZEDHOLEAAH!
>You shout at Cirno to stop this insanity, but all she does is make that weird laugh again....
>You're starting to suspect that maybe this Cirno might not be the real one....But then if that's the case, then where's the real one? And just what the hell is going on here?!

>Well floating and moving in place to heat us up would help, also Use the froggy ring to get rid of that icy stuff, if it will not freeze itself too much... If needed use Lazers to melt some of them.

>"Sho.. what are you doing here, why would you attack me? You don't seem to be from here, neither you look or sound like a fairy..."

>Buy time.. and Ponga, tell him somehow, he should help the fire-shama, as well as others to...?

>We should concentrate on a spellcard, while we still can...

[Kips McKipzerson]

>Wait.
>Hebachi = Otherworldly... So if Cirnos presence like that....
>"Guys! Either this isnt the real Cirno, Or she's been possessed! Her presence reminds me of Hebachi, and she came from some other worldplaythingy!"
> Can we make things like Hakurei orbs - you know, things that shoot bullets for us.

[Kasu]

Oh God.  Cirno's been possessed by the Crystal King.

> Seconding the spell card.
> If possible, make our way towards fire-person.

>Buy time.. and Ponga, tell him somehow, he should help the fire-shama, as well as others to...?
>We should concentrate on a spellcard, while we still can...

>Now that you've broken free of the ground for the most part, you decide to hover slightly, in hopes it'll stave off the chill.
>In addition to that, you try to break off the ice that already gathered on you with the Ring, and it works somewhat, but it also hurts.
>So you decide to melt the ice off as much as you can with some lasers, and that works a bit better.
>You ask what appears to be Cirno what it's doing, and why it's doing what it's doing, among other things. "Does a tree need a HEE-HO reason to fall?"
>Well, looks like you're not gonna get a straight answer outta this one.
>You decide that a good course of action would be to buy as much time as you can, and you try to figure out a way to tell Ponga that he should help the fire girl however he can.
>In the meantime, you ready your spellcard. Looks like this is gonna be a battle you'll be telling your descendants about for years to come....Wait, you don't even have any kids, you're just a kid yourself!

>Wait.
>Hebichi = Otherworldly... So if Cirnos presence like that....
>"Guys! Either this isn't the real Cirno, Or she's been possessed! Her presence reminds me of Hebichi, and she came from some other worldplaythingy!"
> Can we make things like Hakurei orbs - you know, things that shoot bullets for us.

Oh God.  Cirno's been possessed by the Crystal King.
> Seconding the spell card.
> If possible, make our way towards fire-person.

>Waiiit just a cotton-pickin' second...Idea!
>Hebichi seemed like she was from another world....Cirno's Presence feels kinda like Hebichi's.....Aha!
>You shout that either this isn't the real Cirno, or something's possessing her, and that it reminds you of Hebichi's Presence! "That's great kid, now keep 'er busy until I can melt a hole in this @%$# thing!"
>You've read a few books on danmaku, and you've heard about a technique called 'Familiars'. But for some reason you can't quite figure out what you're doing wrong...You know you've got the basic theory of it down, but for some reason the actual use of it eludes you. How frustrating.
>You decide to edge closer to the fire girl, but that seems to unnerve whoever it is that looks like Cirno.
>In fact, the mystery person launches a blast of ice at you, but that's not the shocking part... Acting on reflex, you fire a blast of ice too, which cancels out the other blast of ice! How the hell did you do that?!
>Whoever it is that looks like Cirno seems to be just as shocked as you are! "HEE?! How did you HEE-HO do that?!" To be frank though, you're just as mystified.
>The faint energy seems to fade in and out a bit though...it couldn't be...could it?

[Kips McKipzerson]

>WEAPON GET: ICE SLASHER
>Maybe that faint power is us, ya know, actually copying people's powers, or somehow tapping into their essence? I mean, After all, the Iron Ring normally would be useless in the hands of most people right?
> Ice cant freeze ice... Maybe stick to using a lot of ice shots if possible? And can we freeze our own normal danmaku to "change" it into ice danmaku?

oh man we're finally megahibachiman

[Kasu]

> If possible, try focusing on Mokou's fire and see if we can shoot some of our own flames.
> Keep inching towards Mokou.  Her heat should be able to stave off our status effect.

>You remark that a tree falls the way it leans, which seems to amuse whoever it is that looks like Cirno. "You're HEE-HOO weird."
>You try to get a handle on the energy, but you can't quite manage it...
>Using the spellcard might help in the off chance that you need it.
>Ice Slasher? ...Yeah, that'd sound about right...If it was a sword.
>But all oddity aside, Maybe it's got something to do with our as-of-yet unknown power..?
>Maybe you can win this fight by using whatever that energy is? You consider freezing your own shots, but wouldn't that just make them stop in place like they've already been doing?

> If possible, try focusing on Mokou's fire and see if we can shoot some of our own flames.
> Keep inching towards Mokou.  Her heat should be able to stave off our status effect.

>You try to focus on the fire girl's flames, and see if you can shoot some. But you just launch a smaller blast of ice than last time. Maybe using it depletes it...?
>You keep inching your way towards the fire girl slowly, maybe you can shake the freezing that way?
>Of course, you have to keep firing ever-shrinking blasts of ice to fend off the now on the offensive, and potentially fake, Cirno.
>After a few more Ice Blasts, you find that you can't fire any more! Luckily for you, you made it to where the fire girl is...Only to get a faceful of light backlash from her flames. Of course, she doesn't seem to notice this, and keeps pounding away with constant streams of fire, balls of fire, and even flaming kicks!
>For some reason though, that faint energy from earlier feels somewhat stronger! Different too...like fire maybe?

>You tell it that it's the one being weird, then ask it if it'd be interested in one of those coins as you hold up one of them. But that only serves to infuriate it! "HEE-HOO! You won't bribe me that easily!"

>Huh...maybe you can copy others if you're near them? Nah, that can't be it. If that was the case, you'd be able to copy Yukari's power. So that's not it...there must be something missing to the equation...but you're not sure what it is.

>But that's not all, the blast continues on until it not only hits the far side of the dome's wall, but punches right through it!
>The force of the blast pushes you into the other wall of the dome, the one your back is to. And quite forcefully I might add.
>Of course the sheer nature of the blast startles the fire girl quite a bit as well! "%^@&#$?!"
