Wind Priestess Quest - Part 2: What has Tobe done.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Thanks for the butter Koishi. And for helping get Eirin here... And for saving us earlier."

>"It was nothing." Koishi replies, "I actually should thank you for convincing old-snake-lady to let us bring that doctor down here... I don't think Satori would've made it if it wasn't for that... That's actually what I wanted to see you about. Can you come with me for a bit?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Sure. And Lady Kanako isn't that old...^{I think.}"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Sure. And Lady Kanako isn't that old...^{I think.}"

>"I'll be back in a little bit, Satori. Will it be alright being alone for a few minutes?"
>"It'll be fine. Rin should be returning momentarily anyway."
>"Alright." Koishi stands up and looks at you, "Follow me."
>_

[Neovereign]

>Follow that little rock. Koishi
>"So, is this a good surprise, or a Kogasa bad one?"

[WodofGar]

>Koishi is also way more useful than Kogasa as a sidekick, if slightly more painfully honest.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Follow that little rock. Koishi

>You follow Koishi out of the room and up a nearby staircase

>"So, is this a good surprise, or a Kogasa bad one?"

>"It depends on your perception. Sometimes surprises are seen as good. Sometimes they're seen as bad."

>Koishi is also way more useful than Kogasa as a sidekick, if slightly more painfully honest.

>If you had to choose, you'd choose Koishi over Kogasa any day...

>You continue following Koishi through a hallway, and eventually you come to a large door. Koishi opens it and heads inside. You follow.
>You are now in a room with a large bed, several shelves littered with all sorts of junk are present throughout the room. There's some piles of junk on the floor, too, but aside from that the floor looks relatively tidy. You think you spot something glistening behind the bed. You also see what appears to be... a beanbag chair!?! sitting in the corner of the room. On the right wall, is a large window.
>"Welcome to my room!" Koishi smiles, "Feel free to look around while I get your surprise!"
>Koishi begins walking towards the bed.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Are all of these your souvenirs?"
>Look out the window.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Are all of these your souvenirs?"

>"Yep. Do you like them?"

>Look out the window.

>You walk over to the window and look out.
>You have a rather impressive view of the Ancient City from here. There seems to be a massive party going on within.
>_

_{//Just a heads up, I'm probably not going to reply for the next few hours. I just got Fallout 4}

[Neovereign]

>"They're nice, I guess. Your bed looks really large and comfortable too."
>Accurate description of Koishi so far.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"They're nice, I guess. Your bed looks really large and comfortable too."

>"Thanks!" Koishi replies, "Okay, turn around."
>_

[WodofGar]

>"Uh, okay."
>Turn

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Uh, okay."
>Turn

>You turn around.
>Koishi is smiling at you, in her hands is a... rather peculiar object...
>It appears to be some kind of odd, metal staff. At one end is a small spike, at the other is... well... it seems to be broken at the other end. It looks like a crescent, but it's clearly obvious that half of it has been snapped off. Even more curiously is that there is an ofuda, resembling the kind Reimu usually uses, attached to the half-crescent.

>"I got this souvenir a long time ago. I found it in the small storage shed by the Hakurei Shrine. I want you to have it. Consider it a 'thank you present'... Who knows? Maybe you can find a use for it?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Thank you. But, you probably shouldn't have taken this from Reimu, of all people. It looks like something important."
>Take it.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Thank you. But, you probably shouldn't have taken this from Reimu, of all people. It looks like something important."

>"It probably wasn't that important. I mean, I took it over a year ago... And when I found it it was buried under tons of junk and collecting dust. Besides, she never showed any sign of noticing that it was gone. I mean, if she really wanted it back she would've taken it back by now... wouldn't she?"

>Take it.

>You take the odd staff.

>OBTAINED: Shattered Crescent Staff
>>A peculiar staff with an ofuda attached to it. Given to you by Koishi. Used to be in the possession of Reimu Hakurei. It's quite damaged.

>_

[Neovereign]

>"If this was something Reimu had, then it's probably something dangerous or powerful."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"If this was something Reimu had, then it's probably something dangerous or powerful."

>"Well if it's powerful, maybe it can help you! And aren't all dangerous things powerful and vice versa? I don't think it's dangerous, though, I mean the only time it ever hurt me was when I tried to peel that ugly paper off, but even then it was only a mild shock... Maybe you can touch it without it zapping you...? I don't know. Maybe if you can't find anything to do with it you can sell it for something. I mean it looks pretty valuable..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I really think that's a bad idea. These things are usually put on certain objects or places to ward off spirits. Who knows what could happen if I remove it?"
>"Maybe we should ask Lady Kanako about it."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I really think that's a bad idea. These things are usually put on certain objects or places to ward off spirits. Who knows what could happen if I remove it?"

>"It can't be that bad... I mean, if it was really meant to ward off spirits, then why does it only react if I try to remove it? I mean, If I wanted to protect something, I'd make sure people couldn't even get close to it..."

>"Maybe we should ask Lady Kanako about it."

>"We?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"It could be a tool Reimu once used. Well, we won't know unless we try. If anything bad happens, warn Lady Kanako."
>Try to take off the ofuda.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"It could be a tool Reimu once used. Well, we won't know unless we try. If anything bad happens, warn Lady Kanako."

>"I will."

>Try to take off the ofuda.

>You attempt to peel off the ofuda...
>...You manage to remove it with little effort.

>A few seconds pass before sparks begin to fly out from the shattered end of the staff, and the staff begins to resonate with an odd energy.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I didn't know it'd come off so easily. What's it doing!?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I didn't know it'd come off so easily. What's it doing!?"

>"I have no ide-" is all you manage to hear before the staff begins glowing uncontrollably and you are enveloped in a while light.

>When the light fades, you find yourself standing in an unknown location. The sky is a drab, grey color. The ground below you is bare and desolate. In the distance you see a large, intricate, blue structure, and behind it is something rather strange looking. It appears to be a large, glowing purple orb, surrounded by a rotating ring of energy. It appears to be the source of all the light in this place. You seem to spot what appear to be dead trees dotting the horizon.

>You feel the ground shake beneath you briefly, it stops after a few seconds. A tremor, perhaps?
>The staff is still in your hands.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Koishi?"
>Examine the staff.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Koishi?"

>Nobody answers you.

>Examine the staff.

>It's no longer glowing. It appears to be just as lifeless as it was when it had the ofuda attached to it.

>"What the hell is going on over here!" you hear a voice shout behind you.
>_

[Neovereign]

>See who's voice that is.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>See who's voice that is.

>You turn around and notice a Green Haired woman on a hill looking down at you. She's wearing a dark-blue outfit, and a pointed hat with a yellow sun-like pattern on it. But her most striking feature are her legs... well she actually doesn't have any legs... In place of her legs is what appears to be a transparent, ghost-like tail. It kinda reminds you of Youmu's phantom half.
>"Huh, you're new. I don't think I've ever hallucinated you before... Anyway-" her gaze fixates on the staff, "T-that staff... WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!?! -Wait, I forgot, this is all a trick. You're not here! The staff isn't here! You're just a figment of my imagination. Aha~AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh well, nice try! Now I might as well dispel you like all my other hallucinations. Begone!"

>The mysterious ghost-woman immediately begins firing a volley of star-shaped danmaku in your direction. However, the pattern in which they are fired looks eerily familiar. You swear Marisa used a similar attack against you when you first met... Surely this must be a coincidence...
>_

[Neovereign]

>Graze the familiar attack.
>"Great, I must be asleep again. Last time blood orbs, this time, ghost Marisa."

[WodofGar]

>Oh the _{^{lack of}} humanity!

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Graze the familiar attack.

>You graze flawlessly and get closer to the mysterious woman.

>"Great, I must be asleep again. Last time blood orbs, this time, ghost Marisa."

>"Huh!?! Did you just... call me Marisa!?! But... my hallucinations never call me something I'm not..." the mysterious woman stops attacking and flies closer to you, "You're... You're a real person aren't you...?"

>Oh the _{^{lack of}} humanity!

>Where are all the people!?!
>_

[Neovereign]

"Well that's because I am real. I swear you attack the same way as Marisa-er, someone I know. Who are you anyways?"
