> How big are we?
>You're about the size of a sake barrel, maybe slightly smaller in all dimensions, if you were to compare yourself to an inanimate object closest in size to you. Himawari could wrap her working arm around you partially.
> Would it be possible to douse ourselves with black ink/paint to look like Reimu's orbs?
>If you had someone apply a skilled paint job on top of your pattern, you could probably get yourself a believable black and white look.
>"Come on out!", Himawari shouts to the somebody making their way through the bushes, who may also be annoyed.
>The leaves of the bush part, partially revealing a blue-haired girl in a blue dress darker in color than that of Mica's. The girl stumbles forward out of the bush, clutching firmly onto her head in pain with her right arm. Despite grasping onto her skull like that and wincing, she doesn't appear even superficially injured to you. Now that the pained girl is completely in your view, you notice a large blue ribbon fixed behind her short hair and what appear to be large icicles fanning out of her back. The icicles are melting, with flowing water coursing down their length and dripping on the ground. The way these icicles are arranged strongly reminds you of a fairy's wings... could she be a fairy?
>"Oh, it's Cirno, isn't it?", Mica says.
>"Yeah, it is! She don't look like she's doin' all that well, tho'...", Himawari points out.
>You've heard both Hima and Mica throw that name around for a while now, but only now you get to see her in person. This Cirno must've got a high profile only amongst fairies, since you can't recall hearing her name elsewhere.
>Cirno staggers a few steps closer to your group, still clutching onto her head, before stopping to stand pigeon-toed.
>"You...! You're their henchmen, aren't you?!", she points toward your group with her left hand.
>"Huh? Ya got us all wrong. We're free fairies!", Himawari shakes her head and waves off Cirno.
>"Don't try to play dumb with me!", Cirno shouts. "Those cowards left henchmen like you two behind to cover them while they run away with my stuff!"
>"'Those cowards?'", Mica asks.
>"Didn't I just say that don't try to make a fool outta me!? You know who your bosses are, stop lying!"
>"They broke in my house without making any noise, were invisible, and knocked me out by sneaking behind me and pressing some wet rag on my face! After I got back up, some of my very important stuff was GONE! Stolen! Like my first three volumes of 'The Highest Judge of Paradise' and my YAMAXANADU action figure! And they also scribbled things like 'Cirno sucks' all over the walls!
>Cirno pauses to catch a little breath after her relentless barrage of words. Wordmaku?
>"They wrecked my house last time, and this time they stole my stuff! I'm gonna find and beat up those three jerks in a record time! If you wanna stay not-frozen, you'd better tell me where they are!"
>"They're over there!", Himawari points toward the angry mob of fairies which still doesn't seem to have dwindled down in numbers.
>The blue-haired girl guffaws at Himawari's attempted diversion. "Hah! Why would they be in a fight? They're weak cowards! Time's runnin' out for you, tell me where they really are or prepare to get frosted!"
>You notice that Himawari is gesturing you to get closer to her.
