>"If I can find Utsuho's soul within Higan or the Netherworld, I shouldn't need any more help to bring her back."
>"I don't need that much manpower for my other projects either. Rather, I should be offering my help for anything that you're doing."

>Sigh a little.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Yes, what is it?"
>You give another sigh. It seems that you've been sighing a lot, lately.
>"Of course, give me a moment to get her."
>Nitori bows to you before heading deeper into the laboratory.
>The other kappa, Yuuko, simply stands there watching you as she waits for Nitori to return.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Ah; this ones kinda cute.

>"The professor?"

>"Without her, I wouldn't be here, and I don't know what would have happened to my sister..."
>"Um... I don't really want to talk about the details... I'm sorry..."
>Yuuko hangs her head.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"No, no; that's fine. I won't push you to say that much."
>"At the very least, it proves she has a heart."

>Quick turn around; like a twirl on the spot whilst we wait.
>Where is Momiji? If we can see her, what does she look like?

>Remember to look back at the entrance once we've made the circle.

>You take a quick look away from the lab, and catch a glimpse of Momiji hiding amongst some trees. It would be rather hard to spot her if you weren't looking for her.
>She looks furious.
>You disregard her and turn back to the lab, where Nitori appears to be coming back with Hatate.
>At this moment, you hear some noise from behind you.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Ah, Hata..."

>Crap... that's going to be Momiji, isn't it?
>Turn around; quick-time.
>Is her sword in hand?

>You begin to greet her, but Hatate seems to be more interested in something behind you.
>You aren't sure who else it could be.
>You quickly turn to see Momiji charging towards you.
>It is.
>You would estimate that she is about five meters away from you, though you don't think that it will take very long for Momiji to close this distance.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

[Ughg... I need sleep. It's 5:40am and I have work later...]

I will say this now, I'm not gapping Momiji away; I am not leaving her on her own in this state, not again! If we can find a way of restraining Momiji, that would be great. We can have her yell at Hatate (and possibly us) as much as she wants; but I'm not leaving her! Nor am I having her kill Hatate!

And no, we are NOT going to kill Momiji! I want this thing sorted; one way or another.

Think about what sort of things we can do, and how much it will effect us and those around us. The last thing I (and we) need right now is for something to go horribly wrong; especially since we will be getting the help we need now.
With that said, I'll probably be thinking about this in my sleep too. So night for now.

[Hanzo K.]

I'm with Kanjou. I want to know what made the wolf go bonkers.

[BT]

We know the reason. And, eh, this won't be easy to fix.

I'm not sure if we can even stop Momiji from this distance without force. I GUESS a good shout would work, but that means we're following with a ~speech~ and I'm not one for speech ideas! Hell, we (Yukari) barely know anything (or, effectively nothing) about their background to do this kind of thing right now.

[Hanzo K.]

We know that she was one of the proudest of the wolf tengu, maybe we can work with that.
Perhaps a little punishment should be in order should she get too out of hand.

Nothing too serious by youkai standards though, just a weakening seal if we can do one. Drop her down to human-level power so she can't really hurt anyone too severely.

Alternately, we could KO her and twist a boundary around so she's back to how she once was mostly.

I envision it as taking a red-hot sword, and tempering it.
The red-hot sword is the currently wild and firey momi, and the tempering is us knocking her out and twisting a boundary of hers to bring back most of what she lost.
See, since she's kinda rabid, we can just twist a boundary related to that, and boom. No more Crazy!Momiji.

I'm basing this off of how we messed with the boundaries of the seals on the Myouren lot.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

As much as the 'boundary' idea is nice, I'm not sure it works like that. Put it this way, it drained us enough unsealing Byakuren from a boundary. How are we going to fare if we try and place one on someone else? I'm certainly not leaving that down to chance.

But the idea of using our gap is not out of the question.

If Momiji is aiming for Hatate, which I think (and for this plan, I'm counting on it) she is, then if we simply side-step, she'll think we're letting her have at her.
That's the plan, however.
Momiji is quicker then us; so simply reaching out and grabbing her will be useless. With our gap, we can stick a hand out at a point where we know we can get her, and do this:
Grab the back of her collar and pull her back, and down, in one swift movement with that youkai power we're so known to have. At her speed, it would give us the result of Momiji's legs leaving the ground, her body falling backwards at an alarming speed, and the back of her head cracking the floor.
The result should give us a very dazed, if not, unconscious Momiji. If she isn't KOd, the grip on her sword would be loose; so we should be able to kick it away.

At that point, we have Nitori restrain her... if she has anything on hand. If not, we restrain her ourselves; or with the help of those in front of us.
If she is KOd, we simply get her inside. I'm not leaving her; but I will be happy if she is restrained so she can at least listen to us if she tries to strike out again. Maybe get Hatate to talk to her and try to fix things between them. (Yes, I'm playing on the Hatate story again; but of course I am, she is my favourite tengu!)


As for any other plans, throwing danmaku out might not go down so well; though we're probably more prepared this time since we can see her coming. What Hatate does, I don't know; she ran away from Momiji in her Quest, so I'm hoping she might help. I can't see her trying to stop things by simply talking to her; but I really don't want a piece of Momiji whilst she has that sword in hand.

The other idea is to gap the sword... but that is easier said then done; and I'm not gapping her arm off. That's just mean and uncalled for.
Another idea could be gapping her right into the wall itself; but I'm not sure if that would have the desired effect, not compared to the added whiplash effect of the original plan.

Damn Dormio for not being around for once. >>

[GuyYouMetOnline]

I think you're all overthinking this.

>Get between Momiji and Hatate and blast Momiji with enough force to knock her back significantly. Knocking her out is ideal, but if that doesn't happen, we need to make sure there's some distance between her and Hatate.
>If Momiji is still conscious: "I wish to speak with Hatate. You can have her later."

No, I don't mean to give Hatate to Momiji, but Momiji doesn't need to know that.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

That sword isn't there for show, you know. There's a chance she can cut through what we throw at her, or simply deflect some of it; and I don't really want to play with fire here. A quick and simple method that deals the damage needed with the added sense that she won't see it coming, as mentioned before, has a higher possibility of success then simply unleashing danmaku on a crazed white wolf who will either slice the storm or simply not flinch and cut us down in her rage.

That, and I really don't want to say that to Momiji. Because if Nitori and Hatate hear that, they will know we brought her with us. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure that won't go down well after what we just said to her.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

Okay, then we just blast Momiji without warning and don't say anything.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Get between Momiji and Hatate and blast Momiji with enough force to knock her back significantly. Knocking her out is ideal, but if that doesn't happen, we need to make sure there's some distance between her and Hatate.

>The voices in your head seem to conflict with one another. Will this be your course of action?

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Just fire the blast. Don't do any of the rest.
>If Momiji moves to attack again, blast her again. But try to knock her out ith the first blast, so that this is unnecessary.

[Yukarin]

Dude, If we do that, we just ruined the rapport that we made with Momi. She might not trust us.

I'd say just KO her swiftly, like striking her at the back of the neck or something. At least that way, she won't be hurt or anything.

Just my opinion, but I'm against that blasting thing.

[Hanzo K.]

As am I.
If we are gonna be blasting her, we have to make sure 100% that she'll be KO'd.

[Dr Rawr]

>can we open a gap under her foot?
