Chen's Day Out! ヾ(＾∇＾)

> Fortunately, if Marisa hasn't changed much beyond wanting us dead, she will try to Master Spark us. Master Spark is non-homing and unidirectional, tracking at best, so we should be able to use our KITTY BLACK MAGIC to stay out of its way should everything go to pot.

[Chaore]

> Anyway, head with Suika and Roc to the Forest of Magic, and search for Marisa's cabin. Be VERY, VERY CAUTIOUS, and stick close to Suika and Roc. Once we find her, let Suika do the talking first while you hide yourself (like underneath Roc's wings).

You make sure not to tell Wriggle much other than you're going to try and get some more help. You're pretty sure she'd disagree with this.

You, Suika, and THE ROC all head into the Forest in search of Marisa. You remain cautious and stay as best hidden as you can. You don't think she'd suddenly become a tracker or anything.

...right?

> Fortunately, if Marisa hasn't changed much beyond wanting us dead, she will try to Master Spark us. Master Spark is non-homing and unidirectional, tracking at best, so we should be able to use our KITTY BLACK MAGIC to stay out of its way should everything go to pot.

You are confident in your ability to run the fuck away, so it should be fine. It takes a while, but eventually, you're pretty sure the three of you find Marisa. You let Suika do the talking and stay out of sight.

You can't catch what exactly is going on, but you hear a lot of shouting before what sounds vaguely like someone hitting the ground. Suika storms back afterwards, motioning for you to follow after.

You're not sure, but you think it didn't end too well.

[Pesco]

> Follow Suika to the depths of hell and back

[OkashiiKisei]

> Find a quite place to talk to Suika what happened....and ask her if we need to call first aid for Marisa. On second thought, ask her how far Marisa flew back from that punch. Chuckle if it was pretty far.

[Chaore]

> Follow Suika to the depths of hell and back

You consider going down to the UNDERGROUND and back with Suika, But you're not sure why you'd do that!

> Find a quite place to talk to Suika what happened....and ask her if we need to call first aid for Marisa. On second thought, ask her how far Marisa flew back from that punch. Chuckle if it was pretty far.

You ask Suika what happened once you're far enough. She scoffs at the mention of Marisa.

"She didn't even care. I can't believe it, its bad enough that she doesn't care what kind of danger it is, she really doesn't care about anything anymore. 'Oh, someone else will take care of it, its just another incident.'... What the hell is she getting at! Its like she doesn't care anymore.

How far she flew? Not damn near far enough... Bah, She didn't break anything, she'll live."

[OkashiiKisei]

> Head back to the Anti-Meira Force First Command, and take a look at the progress.

[Chaore]

> Head back to the Anti-Meira Force First Command, and take a look at the progress.

You head back to Wriggle and the rest. it seems like they're just about getting ready to start placing the makeshift roof over the barrier. Some Fairies seem worried about the colored air, which is now leaking out of the top barrier, but they're being reassured you came out just fine. It seems like it's just starting to get started.

[Fightest]

> Why did we leave Marisa? Go right back there once Meira is dealt with, one way or another.

[OkashiiKisei]

> Why did we leave Marisa? Go right back there once Meira is dealt with, one way or another.

Reason 1: She didn't want to comply, rather let everything go to hell.
Reason 2: She would probably kill you when she sees you.
Reason 3: She's probably knocked out cold from being punched in the face by an Oni.

[Chaore]

> Why did we leave Marisa? Go right back there once Meira is dealt with, one way or another.

I'm pretty sure we both remember the spring incident.

[Fightest]

> Pff, she's our best source of information on what actually happened. And Suika coulda held her down. We gots information to gather!

[Chaore]

> Pff, she's our best source of information on what actually happened. And Suika coulda held her down. We gots information to gather!

>If you insist. What do you have planned for the current, then.

[OkashiiKisei]

> Anyway, let's leave the wiccan psycho for after the grand battle. Order the army to stand in formation. Let the bugs and several fairies hide for in the buhes so they can perform an ambush, do the same with you and Roc in the trees and let Suika and the remaining fairies take on the front. Unless, ofcourse, you can figure more convenient positions. I'm not a very good strategist.
> By the way, is it starting to get dark, or is Meira asleep? Would give us a better chance to light the flames succesfully.
> When everyone's in position, let the bitch burn.

You get things ready. The bugs take to an ambushing position with any spare fairies, and the wooden shields are placed on top. You imagine the colored air is still making it seem dark in there. You all light the fires.

Heavy silence fills the air as the fires burn. You don't know how long it'll be before the smoke fills the barrier.

[Fightest]

> Barrier's not too big in volume, and the bonfires are surrounding the barrier's circumference completely, so it'll start filling up pretty quick, especially if we're making them extra-smokey bonfires by piling wet foliage and crap on them when they get going.
> In fact, don't forget to notify the fairies to make them extra-smokey bonfires when they get going.

You don't forget, you think it ends up paying off.

Of course, Your pay off is a huge thing of nothing trying to claw away the wooden shields on top of the barrier. You're not sure if this is really good pay off.

[Pesco]

> Paying off a debt is always a good thing

[OkashiiKisei]

> If it's starting to come slightly through let the fairies blast it to let it tumble back in the barrier. Any spare fairies must then throw more foliage on the openings to restore the fire and shields.

[Chaore]

> Paying off a debt is always a good thing

And this bitch owes you [1] Hakurei Shrine.

> If it's starting to come slightly through let the fairies blast it to let it tumble back in the barrier. Any spare fairies must then throw more foliage on the openings to restore the fire and shields.

You try and get the fairies to get it back down, But as Demon said, it doesn't appear to be stopped much. It doesn't get to clearing many of the shields before stopping. ...You actually wonder if she died already.

And then the barrier goes down. You can't tell what she did, but the colored air and smoke goes everywhere the moment it goes down. The wood shields follow and hit a few fairies, Nothing too bad.

[OkashiiKisei]

> This is a bit of a dillemma. Stay outside of the smoke cloud so you can see were she'll appear, or charge in to attack before she erects the barrier again? Well, most of the smoke probably already dispersed, so charge! Don't let her escape!

[Fightest]

> How about a compromise?
> "Suika, charge!"

[Pesco]

> Be the Fightest fighter that ever fought.

[OkashiiKisei]

> How about a compromise?
> "Suika, charge!"

A fine strategy.

> Let some of the fairies follow her too for support. The fairies have lived long enough near the pollution to gain some resistance to noxious fumes.

[Fightest]

> Oh, go on, send half our fairies along with Suika, they're approximately indestructible, and we need the shrine bad.

[OkashiiKisei]

> If it is possible, try and only weaken Meira, not kill her. Then we can throw her into the SDM basement
But because she's not going to let go of the power soon and because she's a nemesis for all of Gensokyo, it's probably the best to finish her off right here, right now.

You like this compromise, and Suika agrees, Dashing into the explosion of air.

A fine strategy.

> Let some of the fairies follow her too for support. The fairies have lived long enough near the pollution to gain some resistance to noxious fumes.

You're actually pretty sure this colored air isn't poisonous. Come to think of it, The lake should be emitting fumes. Why didn't you smell those before?

> Oh, go on, send half our fairies along with Suika, they're approximately indestructible, and we need the shrine bad.

You send the fairies anyway.

> If it is possible, try and only weaken Meira, not kill her. Then we can throw her into the SDM basement

You suppose you can get on with a lynch.

The answer of what shes doing is answered rather quickly by a flying Suika. And a few fairies. It doesn't seem like shes planning to up that barrier anytime.

In fact, right on top of that thing makes it seem like shes right down for a fight this time.

Well that takes care of one thing.

[Pesco]

> Don't you ignore my posts

[Chaore]

> Don't you ignore my posts

Oh. Sure.

> Be the Fightest fighter that ever fought.

We went through this. You'll take on Marisa, But the Dual Sword-chucker is -out- of the question.

[OkashiiKisei]

> This is it! Grab our chance! Everybody pile on the swordslut!

You rally!

Unsurprisingly most of the mooks are knocked away by the...thing. Didn't Fightest warn you about that? Most are still okay, luckily.

You decide to try and slip around to the shrine to try and find something with a contract on it. You're not sure, but she may have enough control to not need it near her.

Wriggle, Cirno, And Suika all engage Meira. Suika decides to try and match that thing in size and begins growing. Wriggle just walks up calmly, and Cirno gets a giant icicle ready to be tossed. Meira does her best Laharl impression.

You're not sure who is going to win that one.
