Maribel Hearn Quest - ACT 1

[Neovereign]

>"A doctor? That's useful to know do later..."

>Cast Haste on Miniking and Evil_nazgul0616, making them update stuff faster.

//Not updating fast enough? I feel as though if I update as soon as I see the first reply, it won't be as fun/diverse. _{^{(Plus using school IPad slows it down a bit...)}} I could totally just stalk the thread and reply nearly immediately though.

>Sorry, didn`t think through. Reformulating....... cast Hastega on all the members of Rumia Party Games, _{^{and use a Phoenix Down on Stuffman and Silverquest}}.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Thank you very much."

>"You're welcome."

>Turn to Kosuzu and Koishi.
>"C`mon guys, let`s visit Mamizou."

>They nod in unison.

>"A doctor? That's useful to know do later..."

>"Yeah..." Renko comments.

>Take the directions told to us and arrive at 108.

>You follow the rabbit's instructions and arrive at a door labelled "108".
>Reisen emerges from the door as your arrive, wiping sweat from her brow before noticing you.
>"Oh, it's you. Here to visit her, I take it?" she asks, "Well... You can go on in if you want to see her, but just know that even though we've stabilized her, she's going to remain unconscious for a while..."

>Cast Haste on Miniking and Evil_nazgul0616, making them update stuff faster.

>Well, if I updated the instant I get a reply, this game would get slightly blander, since it wouldn't give other players a chance to respond. Though, of course, some of the delay comes from stuff happening in my life.

[Neovereign]

>"Thank you for helping us."
^{_{>"Could I pet you? Just to see how it feels?"}}

[Monarda]

Forget about that, that wasn`t well-planned.

>Enter !
>Take a look around and at Mamizou.
>"Was it serious ? Did the bullet go very deep ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Thank you for helping us."

>"Don't mention it." Reisen smiles.

^{_{>"Could I pet you? Just to see how it feels?"}}

>"E-Eh!?!" She reacts in the same way as Tewi, "N-No thank you... No offense, but it's a bit... degrading..."

>Enter !

>You enter the room.

>Take a look around and at Mamizou.

>There are a couple of tables, as well as a large bed in the room. A grey-haired woman in a blue and red outfit is currently cleaning off one of the tables. There is a cart full of surgical equipment nearby.
>Mamizou is lying unconscious on the bed, a mask seems to be giving her oxygen, and a machine is monitoring her vital signs. She's hooked up to an IV bag.

>"Was it serious ? Did the bullet go very deep ?"

>"Hmm?" The woman turns around, "Who might you be?"
>"I'm a friend of Mamizou." says Kosuzu, "These two wanted to see if she was okay too... And well, she's just along for the ride." she gestures towards Koishi.
>"Hello again, Koishi." says the woman, "How is your sister doing?"
>"She's been fine. As in there's been no new accidents in ten years. Well, you kinda already know this. Didn't I see you last month?" Koishi answers.
>"Yes. You have, in fact... Don't you remember?"
>"I only remember what's worth remembering, the rest just floats around..."

>"Uh huh..." The woman turns to you, "Anyway, to answer your question: It wasn't a bullet, but rather, bullets. I counted a total of three wounds. Two of he bullets went straight through, another was lodged in her left scapula. Her lungs have been punctured, but thankfully the bullets missed her heart. One barely missed her aorta by centimeters."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Do you know anyone who would use a gun?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Do you know anyone who would use a gun?"

>"Unfortunately, I do not. Outside world firearms are very rare in Gensokyo, and it is even rarer to have people with gunshot wounds admitted here." she pauses, "However, we will probably learn who it was soon enough. Considering the nature of her injuries, she is definitely going to have a detailed description of whoever shot her when she wakes up..."
>_

[Monarda]

>"How long will it take for her to awake ?"
>Feed TAMADRA to make her awakening instant.
>"And how much time will she spend here resting ?"
>Turn to Renko
>"Did you hear the gun being fired 3 times ?"

[Neovereign]

>"She'll be okay right?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"How long will it take for her to awake ?"

>"It could be anywhere from a few hours to at most a day..."

>Feed TAMADRA to make her awakening instant.

>Feed what???
>This reference is lost on your parser...
>FISSION MAILED.

>"And how much time will she spend here resting ?"

>"Well, once she wakes up, she will have to spend a few days here until I see that she has recovered enough to leave. It's a good thing she's a youkai, and not human, otherwise she'll be staying here much longer."

>"She'll be okay right?"

>"Provided no complications arise, then yes. She will make a full recovery."

>Turn to Renko
>"Did you hear the gun being fired 3 times ?"

>"O-Of course! I was there in the alley with her, remember?" Renko seems a little off again.
>The grey-haired woman looks at Renko, "You were? Then surely you got a good look at the assailant, right?"
>"No... I didn't. It all happened so fast... All I know is some guy ran down the middle of the street and fired a gun into the alley."
>The woman's eyes narrow, "And how far were you from the middle of street when it happened?"
>"I don't know... We were in the middle of the alley... So like... 10-14 meters I guess... Why does that matter?"

>The woman frowns, "No reason." she looks at Reisen, "Udongein. I need you to deliver a message to the Hakur-"
>At that moment a rabbit comes through the doorframe behind you. "Dr. Yagokoro, the Hakurei Shrine Maiden is in the lobby asking for you."
>"-nevermind, Udongein. I'll deliver the message myself." she says, before leaving the room, eyeing Renko suspiciously as she passes.

>Kosuzu walks up to Mamizou's bedside, and examines her.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Renko told us not to worry. Things should still be okay when we meet with Reimu...
>"Um, well Renko, Mamizou should be okay... S-Should we go meet up with Reimu?"

[Monarda]

>Where is Phoenix Wright or Prof. Layton when you need them ? Geez

>TAMA!

[the old guy]

>WAlk up behind Kosuzu and give her a hug.
>"Its okay, girl, everything will be alright."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Renko told us not to worry. Things should still be okay when we meet with Reimu...

>Hopefully, everything will still be fine once you meet back up with Reimu.

>"Um, well Renko, Mamizou should be okay... S-Should we go meet up with Reimu?"

>"Sure. Why not?" Renko replies.

>Where is Phoenix Wright or Prof. Layton when you need them ? Geez

>You feel that a real investigator is desperately needed right now.

>WAlk up behind Kosuzu and give her a hug.
>"Its okay, girl, everything will be alright."

>You walk up behind Kosuzu and hug her.
>"Yeah... I guess so... she did tell us Mamizou will be okay..." Kosuzu pauses, "It's just a bit... unnerving to see her like this..."
>_

[Neovereign]

> "At least she'll be okay when she recovers. It could've been worse, but thankfully it wasn't."
> Follow Yagokoro.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "At least she'll be okay when she recovers. It could've been worse, but thankfully it wasn't."

>"Yeah..."

> Follow Yagokoro.

>Taking Renko, you leave Kosuzu and follow Yagokoro. Koishi seems to be loafing around and does not follow you.

>You eventually return to the lobby, where you see the doctor with Reimu. The two already seem to have started talking.

>"...here to see if Mamizou is alright. Then I'll be on my way to find a couple of outsiders that I'm supposed to meet up with." says Reimu.
>"Mamizou is fine. And I think your outsiders are already here. They came by with Koishi and a friend of Mamizou to visit her. They didn't look like they belonged in Gensokyo..." the grey-haired woman notices the two of you, "Actually, here they are now..." her eyes narrow as she glances at Renko.
>"Great. That makes my job a lot simpler. I'll take them off your hands."
>"Well, before you do that, I have something I wish to tell you. I assume you're investigating the attack, correct?"
>"Of course I am! What kind of person do you take me for? Someone was attacked in the Human Village. Youkai or not, I can't just leave that alone! Anyway, I'm assuming you have some information that may help?"
>"Perhaps..." Eirin quickly glances at Renko once more, "Do you think we can discuss this in private?"
>Reimu rolls her eyes, "Fine. But make it quick." she looks at you and Renko, "I'll be with you in a moment."

>Yagokoro leads Reimu away down a nearby hall.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Renko, I think something bad is going to happen. Every time we've tried to shrug something off and hope it'd be okay, it wasn't. The one-in-a-million chance of something like that shooting. Not being able to get here quickly. U-Us causing trouble for others... Everybody thinks that you look familiar, and she's been giving you looks since we met her. Not to mention she's telling Reimu something she apparently can't tell us. All of this and...whatever you're keeping from me, i-it just spells disaster!"

[Monarda]

>So she suspects Renko... there must be a reason as to why.... i wonder if it has to do with the distance the assailant shot Mamizou. But if she does accuse Renko, where is her motive ? She didn't even know Mamizou before...
>"Renko you're making me worried again...."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"W-Well... Maybe things will still be okay...?" Renko replies, "I mean... n-not everything can turn out bad for us... R-Right?"

>So she suspects Renko... there must be a reason as to why.... i wonder if it has to do with the distance the assailant shot Mamizou. But if she does accuse Renko, where is her motive ? She didn't even know Mamizou before...

>You conclude that Yagokoro suspects Renko to be the culprit. But at least Renko seems to have a solid defense if, gods forbid, she is accused...

>"Renko you're making me worried again...."

>"I'm sorry... I-I didn't mean to make you worry..."

>A minute passes, before Yagokoro and Reimu return to the lobby. Reimu is eyeing Renko curiously.
>"Good luck with your investigation." says the grey-haired woman.
>"Thanks, Eirin." Reimu replies before walking over to you.

>"Alright, you two. Come with me. We're heading back to the shrine."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Okay then."
>Tag along Reimu.
>"Oh, Miss Reimu, do you know about these two immortal woman who keep killing each other here ? They started another fight and i'd like to know what motivated their conflicts."

[Neovereign]

>"Um, why are we going back? I-I thought it was okay for us to explore. A-Anyways, did you find out who did this?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Okay then."
>Tag along Reimu.

>You follow Reimu out of Eientei

>"Oh, Miss Reimu, do you know about these two immortal woman who keep killing each other here ? They started another fight and i'd like to know what motivated their conflicts."

>"You mean Kaguya and Mokou?" Reimu replies, "Yeah, I know about them. They have some kind of grudge between them that's been going on for more than a thousand years or something. They kill each other very often, it happens so much that you learn to not to worry about it..."

>"Um, why are we going back? I-I thought it was okay for us to explore. A-Anyways, did you find out who did this?"

>"Well, I want to check on something, and grab something to eat while I'm at it. Then we can explore. As for the investigations, I haven't found the culprit yet, but I do have a lead."
>_

[Neovereign]

> "A lead? What is it?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "A lead? What is it?"

>"Well, let's just say Eirin provided me with some information that might narrow down the lists of possible culprits and leave it at that..." Reimu replies as you walk through the forest.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Oh, that's good to hear..."
>"Also Reimu, you might want to watch your step."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh, that's good to hear..."
>"Also Reimu, you might want to watch your step."

>Reimu looks down, "Huh?! Why?"
>_

[Monarda]

>"Someone dug holes at the path going to Eientei, Kosuzu fell in one a while ago, i'd say just fly but that leaves us as a problem."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Someone dug holes at the path going to Eientei, Kosuzu fell in one a while ago, i'd say just fly but that leaves us as a problem."

>"Rabbits being pranksters again I assume. Don't worry, I'll be careful."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"There's this shopkeeper near the forest of magic, right? Kosuzu mentioned that he had a shotgun. Could he be related to this?"
