>Let's fire off a few does of Servant Flier.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that one. Is that that thing she does in Imperishable Night that fires on its own as she moves around?

Just wanted to make sure. Thanks for confirmation.

> Use whip to strangle fairies.
>Disperse into bats, and reform higher up.
>"You fairies have spirit, though you still need to be punished."
>Let's fire off a few does of Servant Flier.

>You consider trying to use your whip to garrote the fairies, but then have another idea.
>You transform again, this time into a bat swarm, and fly up and above the fairy rebels. With the cessation your whipping, the orange fairy resumes firing up you, and one of her blasts actually catches your bat form, making it dissapear. This doesn't hurt, but it does prove that this one's got spunk. None of the other fairies manage to hit you as your swarm form rises up, and then reforms to your glorious humanoid visage.
>Invoking your Servant Flier, you unleash a sextet of large red bats upon the band of fairies. Five of them connect and make them dissapear in puffs of light, including one of the blondes you followed, and the sixth strikes the orange haired fairy, who surprises you by not exploding, but she does fall back down closer to the ground.
>4 fairies remain, and the three that are not the orange-haired short one group together beneath and to your left, two of them unleashing red and blue kunai danmaku in the general shape of a fan, the middle one- the one identified as Plum from the way in- fires a stream of light blue petals.

>Let's have a nice and hammy laugh.
>"You have spirit! I like that. Such a pity, but you need to be disciplined."
>Let's keep bombarding them with Servant Flier, and then disperse into the bat swarm to follow along.
>Once we get close enough, reform right behind Plum, then grab her by the throat. Not hard enough to make her poof, but just hard enough to incapacitate.

>There's always time for a big hammy laugh. Nobody does it better than you.
>The fairy to your left looks at her companions, asking "What's a pity?"
>The black-haired fairy on your right replies to her with, "I dunno. Doesn't sound tasty."
>You unleash another quintet of bat-shaped energy blasts, before dispersing again to evade the fairy's fire. Their attention diverted by each other, it's quite possible that neither one even notices your danmaku until they are struck. They both go pop, but Plum, however, has the wherewithal to actually drift to the right, evading your bat. Being a fairy, it's hard to tell if she did that on purpose or not, but still.
>She seems rather flabbergasted by your transformation, and her bewilderment gives you ample opportunity to get behind her, reform, and throttle her. She makes a *GLCCH* sound, and flails against your grip. For all the good it does her.
>You hear the orange one below and behind you audibly shakes her head, then wonders aloud, "Where'd the kitty go?"

> Use overkill.
> Make the last fairy standing temporary Sakuya. Until the real Sakuya comes back. Someone has to make the "special" tea.

>You consider using overkill, but that's really more Flandre's domain. Or Sakuya, when she's in an especially bad mood. You always use the right amount of kill for any occasion.
>There are two fairies currently 'standing': Plum, in the palm of your hand, and the orange haired runt who started this little fight, if you can even call it that. And honestly, you're not sure you could trust fairy tea. They probably mean well, but they ARE fairies. They'd probably find a way to burn it.

>You fling aside the fairy in your hand, sending her crashing only somewhat heavily into the side of a bookcase, dislodging a couple of books from their resting place and sending them to the floor. The blonde fairy doesn't go Pop, but she does seem to be knocked silly. Well, sillIER, anyway.
>As the orange haired one looks back and forth for her missing feline, you deform into a bat swarm again, and reform at her back before she can fly away, and crack your whip over her head. Well, at least you try to, but your inexperience with the weapon causes you to hit a bit low, cracking in the poor thing's hair. She shrieks in pain as you admonish her, your whip snapping again, this time just short of her back. Damnations, but this thing's unwieldy.
>The little fairy turns and tries to fly past you, tears in her eyes.

>We'll just wander off to find Patchy.

>Satisfied that this fairy has learned her lesson- for now, at least, and granting her a modicum of respect for having the capacity to endure your barrage, you let the little fairy flee. Let no one say Remilia Scarlet is not generous and kind.
>With that attended to, you casually fly northwards, in the direction Koakuma went. After only a minute or so of flight, you find both the red-haired demon and her mistress. Patchy is working at one of her alchemy tables, situated a relatively safe distance from any book cases. A beaker containing a silverish-colored liquid boiling over a red-glowing rune of flame engraved upon the table. Her back is turned to you, but from the way she has her left hand, you'd guess she is holding a book.
>Koakuma is standing to her mistresses' left, the small white cat sleeping at her feet. As you land and approach, she bows politely to you.
>"Thanks for the help, Remilia. I wasn't sure how to chase those fairies off without resorting to danmaku."

(Fun Fact: Indolent means Lazy. It also means without effort, so can also be taken to mean effortless. As is the case with Yukari, who does not need to put effort into things to accomplish her goals.)

>"Not at all a problem for one such as I, they needed some disciplining to begin with. The West Wing is still in shambles because of their indolence."

>"Yes." Koa places her hand on her cheek. "I do wonder what's keeping Sakuya away from the mansion for so long? It's not like her to be away for nearly a week, without saying something, at least. And no one keeps the maids in line like she can."
>Choosing not to take that as an insult, you walk slowly around the table Patchy's standing in front of. A trio of glass containers are within range of her right hand, the two larger ones containing more silvery liquids, one darker than the other, and the third, a smaller vial, holding a neon green fluid. Patchy is indeed holding a book, a black leatherbound tome with a magic circle inscribed on the back cover, while her right hand slowly swirls a fourth vial in front of her, this one holding a dark purple liquid.
>Without looking up from her tome, she states, "Remi."

>Let's head back to the weapons room and drop off the whip.
> "And what's with the cat?"

>You half-turn to return to the armory by your room, but as your eyes fall upon the sleeping cat at Koakuma's feet, you ask them about it.
>Koakuma replies, "Well, I found her in here. Wandering the section of the library about the tarot variations. She was hungry, and I think exhausted, so I brought her some milk. And then one of the fairies saw her, and...." She smiles somewhat helplessly, shrugging slightly. "I didn't know how to get rid of them without waking the cat."
>Patchy slowly pours the purple liquid into the now-steaming beaker of boiling silver stuff. "I suggest you hold your breath for a few seconds."

>Wondering why a vampire would need to hold her breath at all, you do so anyway, as Patchy conducts her experiment. Her warnings are usually worth listening to.
>The silver liquid continues to bubble and steam, but seems otherwise unaffected by the addition of the purple stuff. This doesn't seem to be what Patchouli was hoping for, and her cheek puffs momentarily, a sign of mild irritation.
>She mutters, "Perhaps I miscalculated the mix ratio...." before turning her head to Koakuma. "Bring some cobalt sulphur nitrate, amberseed, and spinacherb to the tertiary lab. But first, fetch me Venser's second compendium."
>The demoness bows slightly and takes to wing, but pauses turning back to her mistress. "But, those ingredients..."
>"It seems I have to conduct some more research before I can effectively continue this experiment. We can continue your experiment in the meantime, after you retrieve that volume."
>Koa smiles and bows again. "Yes, Patchouli-sama." she says simply, before flying off again.
>Patchouli slowly closes the book in her hands, and waves her hand in front of the glowing flame rune, shutting it off. She looks at you and asks, "Were you planning to leave right away, Remi?"

>Patchouli pauses, then nods slowly. "Bring along an umbrella, just in case Sakuya's harder to find than you'd anticipate."
>Taking your leave of your mage friend, you take to wing and fly back through the hallways to the armory near your room, to replace that whip. You ponder, along the way, just how an ordinary cat got into the SDM. As far as your library, no less. It's an odd event, harmless though it may be. But, then again, this is Gensokyo. One can only go so long before something out of the ordinary happens.
>As no other cats cross your path on your way back, nor fairies for that matter, you arrive back at the armory in good time, and place the whip back on its resting place.
>Potential weapons that fit your image, and that you have at least a familiarity with include:
>Rapier
>Saber
>Spear
>Longsword
>Staff

So, that was one vote for rapier, one vote for spear, and one question about the quarterstaff.

I'm willing to wait, if you folks would care to discuss it.

Spears are generally two-handed though. We need something that we're both good with, and can be used one-handed.

I dunno about that. For humans, a spear is two-handed because of the length and weight of the spear, but that doesn't bother Remilia - and she always seems to use Gungnir one-handed in everything I've seen.
