Patchy Quest Again: A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> Activate Lava Cromlech during the next barrage.
> Look around for a sun shard while dodging.

>You call out Lava Cromlech as Yuka draws out another spellcard; a loud explosion rocks your eyes, as fire and rock fly everywhere. You really can't see what happens to Yuka, but her surprised cry is enough.
>You look for a Sun Shard while trying to dodge, only to be hit in the shoulder with a rogue bit of danmaku. Lava Cromlech vanishes, the spell broken. You should pay more attention to events at hand!

>"Hourai! Laser!"

>Yuka takes gap left open by Lava Cromlech's vanishing to get back to her feet. You call out to Hourai, who lets loose a beam of her own and strikes Yuka in the stomach. Yuka staggers back a bit, but remains standing. "Well, if we're allowed to have friends," she says...
>You notice many of the flowers are turning to face you.

>Throw biggest object in inventory at Yuka while sufficiently distracting her with spellcards. Multiples if necessary.

>You have no spellcards active at the moment, but that Rusty Piece of Rebar may do...

[Kasu]

> Activate Forest Blaze.

[theshirn]

> curse our imminent demise

[Kasu]

> Resolve to beat Yuka... for Koakuma.

[Hello Purvis]

> Activate Forest Blaze.

>You declare Wood and Fire Sign: Forest Blaze, as some of the flowers begin to emit thick clouds of pollen, while others begin to fling seeds about at random. Unfortunately the omnipresent solar wind interferes with the spellcard more than you'd like. Still, the flames are enough to make the level of less terrible than it could be, and the burning leaves force Yuka to have to move a little bit.

> curse our imminent demise

>You curse your mortality. But chances are Kaguya curses her lack of such.

> Resolve to beat Yuka... for Koakuma.

>She'll love to hear about this once she gets back from vacation, that's for sure!

[UncertainJakutten]

>Activate Sun Sign: MEGA FLARE
>PAY FUCKING ATTENTION TO THE BATTLE FROM NOW ON
>Pretend you are Bahamut as you do it
>Also, if Mega flare is sufficiently distracting, throw rusty rebar at Yuka's FACE!

[Hello Purvis]

>Activate Sun Sign: MEGA FLARE
>PAY FUCKING ATTENTION TO THE BATTLE FROM NOW ON
>Pretend you are Bahamut as you do it
>Also, if Mega flare is sufficiently distracting, throw rusty rebar at Yuka's FACE!

>You resolve to put your new card to the test. "Oh my!" Yuka cries, as the sound of claxons fills the air, followed shortly by numerous explosions as sizable spheres of fusion energy fly toward her, forcing to start moving for real. Much of her own danmaku is simply burnt up by the explosions, taking a fair deal of pressure from you.
>You prepare the Rusty Piece of Rebar, and wait for the right moment. Then, as Yuka leaps away from one of the explosions, you send it flying end over end in to the air. Yuka sees it, and easily darts around it, only to be caught in a new explosion, and send flying!
>She hits the ground and rolls a couple times, then comes up in a crouch far enough away from the effects of your Spellcard that she has little to worry about. "Not bad!" she says, twirling her umbrella.

>_

[Kasu]

> Attempt to get fairly close to her and activate Royal Flare.

[Chaore]

>STOP USING SPELL CARDS MORE THAN NEEDED. We need those, ya know.
>Mega Flare seems to be doing well enough, just get ready to dodge and uh... dodge, You still suck at that non-card additional maku, don'tcha.

[Janitor Morgan]

>STOP USING SPELL CARDS MORE THAN NEEDED. We need those, ya know.

> This is Yuka we're talking about here.

[Chaore]

> This is Yuka we're talking about here.

> I seem to recall we pretty much smacked her around with this card so far, lets wait till she isn't losing before we blow through cards.

[Hello Purvis]

> Attempt to get fairly close to her and activate Royal Flare.

>You try to close in on Yuka a bit, to make your aim easier.

>STOP USING SPELL CARDS MORE THAN NEEDED. We need those, ya know.
>Mega Flare seems to be doing well enough, just get ready to dodge and uh... dodge, You still suck at that non-card additional maku, don'tcha.

>Then you decide to play defensively while things are still working to your advantage.
>Yuka continues to twirl her umbrella, then suddenly levels it toward you and cries "Master Spark!"
>You dive aside, but having closed in as much as you have, you simply don't have time to get out of the way completely. A beam of light flashes, cutting into your side, as a terrible roar fills your ears. Mega Flare's effect is broken as you are sent spinning to the ground. Still, it could have been much worse...

Let's make our own fucking non card danmaku!
>Disregard last three replies
>Metal Sign: Silver Dragon. Use this on-

>You don't have time for that.

>Silent Selene
>release Floating Trumpet, pointing at Yuuka

>You try to bring out Silent Selene, only to find you have fallen into a flower bed and a few tulips have entwined themselves around your arm.

>Heyhey we kinda need to NOT lose this item

>Thankfully, you won't be having an issue with this at the moment.

>While a good idea in theory, you really don't know how to make a gun, and aren't in a position to do so at the moment...

[Serela]

>Tell Hourai to try to get you out, possibly by attacking the tulips
>Use Agni Shine High Level

[Chaore]

>This is all because we used Hourai once, so lets use her twice. Get her to help us outta these tulips!

[UncertainJakutten]

>Oh fuck getting clever
>Once we get free, take out box of legos
>Rapidly throw legos at Yuka while casting Agni Shine

[UncertainJakutten]

Question for the voices. This is not a parser command.

Wanna fan the flames with this: >Butterfly Fan
>An exquisitely crafted paper fan, covered in simple, beautiful ink paintings of butterflies. You can sense an obvious enchantment upon it.?

[Chaore]

Fan. Flames. On the sun.

...That sounds obviously suicidal thus, obviously going to work.

>Oh fuck getting clever

>Hourai floats down and sets herself to trying to rip out individual tulips.
>You ready Agni Shine High Level while trying to pull yourself from your entanglement, and grab the box of Legos
>You see Yuka is twirling her umbrella again.

[UncertainJakutten]

>Fuck her parasol, Cast Agni Shine High Level!
>Make sure legos are caught in the flames instead of throwing them. then fan them at Yuuka as Flaming Legos of FUCKWIN! (This is their new name in inventory, if any survive)
>Fan flames and legos with the butterfly fan.

[Chaore]

>Don't just stand in the line of the master spark, though, Take precautions to OH GOD WHY DODGE.

>Your arm comes free from the entangling flowers!

>Don't just stand in the line of the master spark, though, Take precautions to OH GOD WHY DODGE.

>You roll out of the way as another Master Spark tears through, just barely grazing around it.

[Janitor Morgan]

> Mentally question why you got the Legos out; I was under the impression that we'd give those to Flandre
> According to the Touhou Wiki, Yuka's last name literally means "wind watching" and is also the term for a weather vane. Perhaps later, if the fight's still on, we could use a wind card in combination with the solar wind?

[UncertainJakutten]

> Mentally question why you got the Legos out; I was under the impression that we'd give those to Flandre

If they help us survive as FLAMING LEGOS OF FUCKWIN, she'll deal.
