Kogasa Quest - Perfect Possession

[Tashi]

> Ah, so much for hopes rising up!
> Who knows who might live here... ... besides her, that is.
> Head for the exit and, if it's safe to open, also known as no talismans or rare stuff, open it.

[Kilgamayan]

> Are there any windows?

> Are there any windows?

>There are windows.

> You don't see any more talismans around. Maybe she is trying to save resources...

> The door is locked...
> though given you're on the inside, this can be easily resolved...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Before we unlock the door, have a look out the windows, to see if we can find that woman that trapped us.

[Neovereign]

> Before we unlock the door, have a look out the windows, to see if we can find that woman that trapped us.

> You peer...
> She's nowhere in sight.
>_

[Rin Satsuki]

> Well, either way, we shouldn't be losing too much time. Tokiko might be in danger with the information we gave that woman!
> Head for the door and open it, heading outside... and making sure we don't fall on that trap again.

> You unlock the door.
> The doormat... You avoid it.
>_

[Rin Satsuki]

> We saw the direction where the woman went to right?
> Close the door and go for that direction as well!

[Neovereign]

> We saw the direction where the woman went to right?
> Close the door and go for that direction as well!

> No, just that she set the doormat back over. You don't even know if she left from what you saw, but it's very likely
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Well, close the door behind us, at least.

[Rin Satsuki]

> Be reluctant about asking people... but it's our best bet...
> Any people around?
> Also, if no one is immediately looking at us, brush the dirt that maybe got on us from that fall and all from before.
> Follow same process as before. Ask about the whereabouts of the woman now, describing her appearance, to people that we politely stop for a minute if they aren't too busy-looking.

[Neovereign]

> Well, close the door behind us, at least.

> You first and foremost, close the door.

> Be reluctant about asking people... but it's our best bet...

> You quickly brush yourself off. A mirror would be nice, but...
> Looking around, you think you can see the woman... It's her back, but maybe. She's definitely got the same book though, upon longer inspection, mumbling something.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Where is she?
> Is there anyone else in the vicinity?

[Neovereign]

> Where is she?
> Is there anyone else in the vicinity?

> Only a bit away.
> Yes. People are a bit spread out though. Some might be friends or similar, as they're adjacent.
>_

[Tashi]

> Looking at her/standing next to?
> Is this part of the village narrow or ample enough?

[Neovereign]

> Looking at her/standing next to?
> Is this part of the village narrow or ample enough?

> No. They're minding their own businesses. As is she.
> It's pretty ample. Not as much as most of it...
>_

[Kilgamayan]

I'd be okay with either calling out to her angrily or running the other way silently.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Why not go the stealth route and surprise her if we're getting confrontational? Gotta capitalize on all surprise opportunities after all~

[Tashi]

//Reading a bit back, I noticed the woman spoke about "exterminating both of us at once (referring to Tokiko and us)", so there is a high chance that confronting her will lead to a possible fight. Is this an okay outcome, or would you prefer just leaving to search for Tokiko?

Well, I will assume that there is no preference over any of the options, so...

> ... Better to move away. We have to find Tokiko first, and we don't know what that woman can do. If she has those talismans, who knows what other nifty stuff has...
> Start to leave in the opposite direction, making sure we don't let her notice us.

> You start to head in the exact opposite direction...
> You can see the temple further heading this way...
>_

[Tashi]

> Ah...
> Well, a visit won't hurt. Maybe Tokiko passed by there... or our umbrella.
> Go there.
> At least at some point in our way there, stop and look behind to see if the woman saw us.
> If nothing is wrong, continue until we arrive at the temple or see Tokiko and/or our umbrella.

> You start for the temple...
> You stop after a bit and look behind.
> She's... following you. Glancing at the book occasionally, then staring at you with a curious expression.
>_

[Tashi]

> Welp, so much for getting away from her.
> Well then.
> Frown at her. "At first I thought you were a kind woman, but you are just mean."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Also if you were trying to hold me in there, I have to say that security was pretty bad... You're pretty new at the Youkai extermination thing, aren't you?"

[Neovereign]

> Welp, so much for getting away from her.

> She seems to extend a hand out, but reconsiders, looking at the book again, then you.
> "I thought, as a Karakasa you would-" She speaks, but pauses.
>_

[Tashi]

> "I would what? Not escape?"
> Cross our arms.

[Neovereign]

> "I would what? Not escape?"
> Cross our arms.

> The woman suddenly drops the book while your arms are crossed, diving towards you!
>_

[Tashi]

> "Hah?!"
> Push her to side if she is close and move away!

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Jump sideways to dodge if we don't think we can do the other option

[Neovereign]

> "Hah?!"
> Push her to side if she is close and move away!

>Jump sideways to dodge if we don't think we can do the other option

> You ready and push her to the-
> She grabs hold of you, taking you with her as she falls.
> "Damn it!" You hear her.
