>Glance through the window.
>"Belay that racket before I keel-haul you off the mainmast!"
>Point out the window.
>"Neither of you said Admiral! I'll not have this inordination!"
>Inventory. In particular, do we have our spellcards?
>And where are those other two layabouts at?
>Inventory. In particular, do we have our spellcards?
>And where are those other two layabouts at?
>"I'll...uh..."
>"...I'll let you join my gang if you don't take it!"
>"Gah!"
>Go a tumblin', but try to stop ourselves and take stock of what happened.
>Stand up.
>"Who's tennis racket, lie-you-tenant? And how the crap did you get so huge?!"
>"Let's go! And bring a ball! That's how you deal with tennis rackets!"
>"Yes!"
>Head up on deck.
>"Rappel those boarders quicksmart, you laggards!"
>Starboard is whichever side Commodore Sapphire is on. If she isn't there, it's Port.
>"Why you!"
>Shake fist at the speaker.
>"Speak, Lieyoutenant."
>Lay there, properly dazed for a bit, til the hurting stops.
>Try to recall details of our feud with Cirno.
>Pick ourselves up and face her.
>"What're you doing here?"
> Heaven or Hell! LET'S ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS!
>"What do I get if I win?"
>"You are going down so hard. So hard."
>Go through a few stances that might look like kung fu if you had no idea what kung fu looks like.
>"You're a corpse who hasn't figured it out yet!"
>Always rock.
>Rock, Paper, Scissors
>Cannon, cannon, cannon
>Rock, Rock, Rock!
>Unless this is a trick, too!
>Paper.
>Was it all just a dream?
>Did Luna wake us up?
>"Bleh!"
>Catch self, if possible.
>Mumble: "You're an early start..."
>Pick self up, look around. "Did we win?"
>"I guess we did, if you're still here. Heh, never knew what hit her."
>Have a seat at the table and grab some breakfast.
>"So, what's in the news today?"
>Can we tell what the proper position is?
>Poke Luna with the butt of a chopstick.
>"Hey, spread that out so we can see!"
>Glance at it!
>"Meth cookers must have used a Method that wasn't finished, leaving their goods half-baked. Good thing for us that Luna's cooking is reliable."
>"I wonder how you win a Taiko contest? You can't feed and groom them, can you?"
>Let's have a look at that one, and then the free services story.
>"So what you're saying is if we could find a taiko tsukumogami, we could win this!"
>What are our relationships like with other fairies, specifically Lily White and Daiyousei?
>Go look out the window!
>"Spread out, knuckleheads!"
>Part them like a like a curtain and peer between.
>How close is our treehouse to the shrine?
>"Naw, it's the Red-White. Wonder what she's up to?"
>Observe!
>"Looks like she's coming straight here. Does she know we live here?"
>Check; does she seem to have a fan?
>Panic!
>"Yes she has a fan!"
> Be Luna Child.
>Hide in a cabinet! Or behind a cabinet door if we can't fit into one!
>"No!"
>"Maybe it was you who told her, Star!"
>"Why don't we just ask Reimu and find out!"
>"Chopped?!"
>Hide behind the door again.
> Look out the window.
>Carefully!
>"She's there, but I don't think she has a chopper. Lemme check."
>Open the window.
>"Hey! Reimu! You don't have a chopper, do you?"
>Why is the red-white asking us to cut it out? We don't have a sword, do we?
>"I thought you told us to never ever go to the shrine, though?"
>Look back.
>"Hey, she wants us to come to the shrine."
>Back to Reimu: "Will there be breakfast?"
>"There's breakfast involved!"
>"Well you guys can stay here if you want, but I'm gonna take your shares if you do!"
>Head outside.
>"What?"
>"...Oh. Right!"
>Dash back upstairs and get properly dressed, then dash back downstairs.
>Shod ourself and head outside!
>Follow that maiden!
>Consider drawing on Suika's face.I call a second on this one.
>Consider drawing on Suika's face.
>Have a seat at the kotatsu as if we owned the place.
>Between the fraidy-cat and Sweetie Belle, it's a wonder we're able to get things done as a team.
>Motion for Star to come in already.
>"No, did you bring any drawing implements? There's a prime target for sketching over there!" pointing to the hornhead.
She's right. Something tells me that there's definitely a brush nearby, so search for one!
>Search for whatever the red-white uses to write on her PostIt notes!
> Make sure it's safe, then grab the brush and get to doodling!
>A masterpiece!
>Put our tools back. No one will suspect a thing!
>"So, what's for breakfast?"
>Pause.
>"Oh hey, do you know where we could find a drum youkai for the contest?"
>"Yeah, that one!"
>"Oh, we have our ways! Ways like candy!"
>Go to wake up Suika.
>Witness handiwork.
>Give in to the a fit of giggles.
>Give her a foot nudge while recovering.
>How tall is Suika compared to us?
>"We're having breakfast!"
>"Rule number one: never misunderestimate the three fairies of light!"
>"H-hi, Suika! You're standing really close..."
>"Blaaaagh!"
>Flail!
>"Nooooo! Mercy! It was the one-armed man!"
>Squeal and writhe.
>Shout "FREEDOM!" while bending the light beans around us to divert the phonetons.
>Squirm out and hide!
>"Nuh-uh! I need to hide all the time, you saw that!"
>Take headband, replace it.
>"Thank you..."
>Peek out.
>"Star! Quick! Over here while they're distracted!"
>Fall over and groan.
>"So they can't see me!"
>"Well it's better than your plan."
>"But you could get stepped on!"
>"Maaaaybe."
>Peek outside to make sure the coast is clear.
>"Oh!"
>Scurry out as well, forgetting about any unvisibility
>"Oh, right!"
>Undo that thing.
>No time for that, there's breakfast!
>Get to work on that!
>Though a full mouth: "Thank you!"
>Shake head.
>"Like what?"
>Do we?
>Indication which condition is true with the proper head motions.
>"I guess we can do it. We still need to find that drum youkai!"
>"I'll do my bestest!"
>"Uh, are you sick?"
>"Uh, has anything weird happened? Did you get cursed?"
>Widen eyes.
>"I bet you're cursed!"
>"If it's cursed, you should exercise it!"
>"Yeah, let's see the cursed thing!"
>Dash over and look inside excitedly!
>Touch it!
>Look into the hole, then point the hole away from us and squeeze the thing hard. Then if nothing happens, look into the hole and squeeze it.
>"Seeing if it did anything when you squeezed it good!"
>"Yes! Keep her away!"
>"You okay?"
>"Because we didn't want you to chop us up with it!"
>"The Faeries of Light, obviously."
>"Sounds like you're underestimating faeries! And that's a big migstake!"
>"Probably! I never asked!"
>"I bet more faeries can read than humans can! And youkai! There's a whole buncha those who can't read, you know!"
>"That's because...uh...you don't know how many faeries there are out there! Yeah! And that's why you shouldn't take us lightly."
>Fold arms. Sage nod.
"And nuh-huh! Your post it notes have writing on them and you spray those everywhere!"
>"They're red and white and they have black writing on them, and you post them everywhere. Post it notes."
>Examine, but not too closely lest she whacks us with it.
>"Some of your drawings are real weird."
>"...Geez, that's mean... Okay, fine..."
>Stand up and schlep out, dejectedly.
>"I didn't see anything wrong with her face."
>Proceed down the steps.
>"We left Luna at home. Is there someone you detectived hanging around?"
>"We should probably go get her. She might get lonely or miss out on seeing a neat rock."
>Head homeward.
>"I don't remember Suika's sleeves. Did she even have sleeves?"
>"Come to think of it, it DOES! I always knew you were the one of us who was on the ball!"
>Beat.
>"...Where'd you hide the ball?! I wanted to play with it too!"
>Head inside.
>"Hey Luna, let's go!"
>Head upstairs and casually look around for her.
>"You ready to go or what?"
>"No, she was just fine. It was the other one..."
>Shudder.
>"Don't wanna talk about it. C'mon, we gotta go find a drum youkai, and also Reimu wants us to do a thing because she's sick."
>"We gotta take a think to the Kourinplace, see."
>Depart! In the direction we think Kourindou is.
>"Yeah?"
>Look down, to see if there's anything other than increasingly dense undergrowth.
>"...Winter isn't supposed to work that way!"
>Avoid touching the ice, but approach and examine.
>Look southward along this icy path, and see what there is to see in that direction.
>Out of pure curiousity, lick the icy ground. See if its all frozen.
>Lick the ground? Why?
>"What if Cirno's in trouble? Star, do you sense anyone nearby?"
>Are we aware of Letty Whiterock?
>Follow the icy trail!
>Any change in temperature?
>Ambush the crunchy ice monster!
>Vanish now!
>Also those other dorks, too.
>How are the others taking this?
>Start tiptoeing back.
>Grab Luna by the shoulders and pull her back, let's backpedal away from this thing fast!
>Maybe we're dreaming and we need to wake up!
>Pinch Luna.
>Harsh whisper: "We gotta go!"
>Tug her again and hope she gets the point.
>Like hell Luna can outrun us! Let us demonstrate her folly with the cruel undeniability of practical results. Head in the same direction!
>Make sure Luna is still behind us. If so, keep going. If not, then it's probably time to stop.
>"Hey, where's that trail at?"
>"Maybe, but let's keep going. Where's the trail at?"
>"I'll check."
>Creep up and peer through the foliage.
>Is there an appropriate unspoken etiquette for approaching faeries without causing problems, outside of the basic kind?
>Assuming not, call out, "Hey, you got a minute?"
>"Am I? I just wanna know where the trail went..."
>"...Got it! Right, how'd you even end up here?"
>"How'd they vanish?"
>Pause a moment.
>"Hey get out here, you two!"
>"I guess. We do have 'em!"
>"What, don't you have one?"
>Did we actually do anything? Or is she just being a faerie, so to speak?
>"Uhhhh..."
>"Okay, okay, I got this!"
>Point at the faerie: "You're now Ultimate Snapdragon!"
>Hands to the air shock!
>"What! Well, okay, if you wanna do it like that. But who's Luize and how'd she get to be the Namerator?"
>"Oh wow, if you traveled everywhere, I bet you know the way to Kourindou!"
>"Ah, right. Mmm. Hey Star, feeling anything?"
>"Yeah, she's just looking around. Give her a second."
>Smile, then do the old light trick to make ourself vanish, then reappear after a couple seconds.
>"I do things with light. How about you, do you have any tricks?"
>Follow that faerie!
>"Oh! Did you try walking backwards?"
>Are we aware of concepts like mirages?
>"Because them you could see what's happening behind you, in case someone is trying to trick you."
>Witness!
>"...Maybe!"
>"Hey! Stop! Come back here!"
>"Well, we're not gonna figure out what happened if we stand here!"
>Make to follow that faerie.
>Boggle vacantly for a bit, then try to pick ourself up.
>"You did!?"
>"Oooooh...So you definitely disappeared for a minute. Wonder if it works the other way?"
>"Okay! So, that means there's got to be a place where it happens. Let's find it then poke it with a stick!"
>"No, it vanished. Hmmm..."
>Let's try to straddle the vanishing point, with one leg on one side and one on the other, and see what happens.
>Turn!
>Keep turning. "What's happening I can't see!"
>"Hey, keep that up, Star!"
>Have a look at these ripples. Perhaps they are light-based phenomena?
>"Go stand with them, Luna."
>"Hah! Show's it what's what! Hey Star, have another look around."
>"Okay. now let's find that road!"
>Following her has worked before, so it will work this time! Do so!
>"That way."
>Point in the direction of Kourindou.
>Ponder what we read in the paper. Did it mention anything like a party?
>Shake head. "I don't know about any. There is a drum contest coming up, though."
>"Deal!"
>Let's enact this plan.
>"That guy looks like he knows how to party."
>Point at the pink bird.
>"Nuh-uh! Crows are crazy smart! They can solve puzzles and teach things and roll in the snow!"
>"Or does it? You see, it's actually awesome, and I kinda want to ride that bird."
>Sage nod.
>"Maybe you can't."
>Sage nod.
>"Or can I?"
>Ride the pink bird.
>Flying acrobatic dismount.
>"You want to try it?"
>"Whaddaya mean it's not real? Go touch it, it's totally there and made of solidness!"
>Cross arms.
>"Okay, then if it's not a bird then what is it? Because it's got the wings and the beak and the sideways eyes."
>"Yet I rode on it. There's more than smoke and mirrors there!"
>"We're in the horns of an impassible. I know! Let's go inside and get Kourin to tell us how real this bird is."
>"You are gonna be so shocked your hair will catch on fire!"
>Head inside!
>Move away from the door, and try to open it from the side.
>"But I like jokes..."
>"Hey that's a neat tattoo! Where'd you get it?"
>"I like stories!"
>"Your suit is poo colored!"
>Head inside.
>"Hey Kourin!"
>Wave.
>"Who was that jerk in the poop suit?"
>"No...um..."
>Blink.
>"But Reimu did!"
>Display the mystery artifact. "What is this thing? Some kind of curse-a-ma-jing?"
>"Watch out for snakes!"
>Look back to Luna and Star.
>"Is she gonna be okay?"
>Hand it over!
>"I think we fixed Luna!"
>"It is cursed, isn't it!"
>"Put down it! PUT IT DOWN!"
>"...But why does that make your face go red? I could still recognize you with that!"
>"Um, I guess not. But I don't really get what's going on. I think you need to get a pro!"
>"But you just said it was. It can't be both things!"
>"What do we tell Reimu?"
>"I don't think she's gonna be happy with that."
>"You're gonna have to tell that to her. Besides, it's not like anyone other than that poopsuit guy came here!
>"Dispel what?"
>"...Can you put that in writing?"
>"Yeah but Reimu doesn't know that!"
>Do we have any money?
>"I guess...?"
>"That reminds me! Do you know where to find a drum youkai? We need one for the contest!"
>"Ha! We got their number now!"
>Charge toward the eastward regions of the village!
>Look around. Where is Luna?
>Let's go see what she's up to.
>"Whoa, that book looks bitten! Did Star do that? Star, how did you bite this book so hard?"
>Examine book. Then turn it over to make sure we're examining it the right way.
>"Is this someone's diary they never used or something?"
>Peek through the holes.
>Is it a Bowling Book? Try to use it as such.
>"Hey shopman! What's the deal with this?"
>Wave the book around.
>"Yes. We need to find a drum youkai!"
>"You!"
>Grab Luna, and head out to our previous destination!
>"Oh, right."
>Put it somewhere nearby, then resume heading out!
>"Another bird to ride?"
>Go investigate!
>"...Hey, hey, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
>Waste no time, hop into the prow of our new vessel!
>"Hit it!"
>"Kick it up a notch, Star!"
>"Make it so!"
>"Belay those concerns, lieutenant!"
>Let's not do either of those things yet.
"It was...glorious..."
>Let's just wait til this goes away.
>"Yeah?"
>Look.
>"Star...you had a sister all along? What's her name?"
>Try not to collapse into a coughing fit.
>"Which!?"
>"Why are your arms so weird?"
>Glance right.
>Gurgle irritably!
>Not much of a choice here. Stand up!
>"...Don't think so..."
>Pained groan.
>Are we lucid enough to tell what's in those bags?
>"Hey, if you hurt Luna, I'm blastin' these stupid bags, then telling the red-white! You leave her alone!"
>Approach one, and pose to elbow drop on it.
>"Let her go, because I'm the best when it comes to falling down on things!"
>"Won't stop me from messing up all your stuff first, Poopsuit! Let her go!"
>Glare daggers back at him, and raise self to demolish something. "Say I won't! See what happens!"
>"Imma do it if you go past two. So you better best fast enough to stop me!"
>Prepare to smash that thing with as much weight as possible. Keep eyes locked on him.
>"I double dog dare you."
>Smash!
>Then if we can, make Luna invisible.
>Scrabble away as much as we can. But smash any other bags we come across, because a double dog dare is a sacred vow.
>This is the time when one makes an witty comeback that humiliates the enemy with one's superior wit.
>"Butt!"
>Turn invisible if we can, and flop aside.
>Speak the language of the universe: Groan
>Try to look toward the sound.
>If it is still dark, let's create a nice burst of light!
>"Why are you in my house!"
>How are our arms and hands doing?
>Let's try to fumble that off.
>Failing that, let's make Luna do it.
>Let's make her fix this, then. Get our wrists close to her.
>Free hands, then uncover our face and mouth.
>Oh right. Let's get Star freed up.
>"Yup!"
>Let's help out Luna.
>Prod Luna. "Hey, wake up dummy."
>"Really annoyed!"
>"Once we get Luna up."
>Prod her some. "Hey Luna, it's time to go."
"Hey c'mon, we need to get out of here."
>"Yeah! You okay?"
>Put a steadying arm around her.
>"Okay, once you're a little good, we need to get out of here."
>"I 'unno, somewhere."
>"Yup. Probably gonna hafta scare 'em off."
>Quietly: "Kick it open? Or maybe yell at 'em to let us out?"
>"Hey! Let us out!"
>Kick something.
>"Let us out already!"
>"Just open the crate, don't bust it we're in here!"
>"Some guy whose suit looks like poop!"
>"You're all too tall."
>Cover out ears, and ponder how they haven't seen any of our wings.
>"The best faeries! And thanks for opening that up."
>"Well you're the one that was talking to us, I was just answering..."
>Extricate self.
>"We got hurt, and he caught us..."
>"He tried to make me fetch some stupid things and threatened Luna, even though we were hurt!"
> Grin smugly.
> "But I showed him. I broke his stupid stuff."
"I dunno, he had a lot of bags full of things."
> "Lots of different stuff, though, cause one of 'em didn't break like the other one when I tried smashing it."
> Wince at memory of pain when you tried elbowing the second one.
> "Anyway, after that the mean guy caught me and kicked me in the head and it REALLY HURT, and then...and then we were in this box. And that's it."
>"I'm Sunny Milk, she's Luna Child, and she's Star Sapphire. Who are you?"
>"Oh, that sounds fun. What do we win if you don't catch us?"
>"Deal!"
>Out of the box, gogogo!
>Pause.
>"Awww, no fair!"
>"How about this? You don't get to fly. Because you got those super long weird legs and stuff."
> "Sounds great!"
> Huff impatiently.
> "So are there any other dumb rules or can we just goooo!"
>"Okay, so what we need to do is scatter up, until-Oh wait, should we just hide?"
> "Whoa, nice thinking, Star! We are really good at getting lost."
> Start heading out.
> "Come on, guys! We gotta find ourselves a crowd!"
> Nod.
> "Got it."
> Head over to the right gate and peek out of it to survey the situation. Don't go through it yet, though.
>"Really? When?"
> Our power is bending sunlight, right? Are we capable of bending the light in such a way so that it looks like nighttime around the house?
