You break away from the nun, but quickly come to a worrying realisation - you have no idea where you are, or indeed where anything is.

> You aren't quite sure how you knew there was a forest, but luckily enough there is! You promptly run inside for cover just in case the old nun goes out of her way to follow you.
> There are a lot of buildings in this town - Saylum, did she call it? You can see one of them aptly labelled as the jail, but it's heavily guarded. Another building nearby is a courthouse, presumably where this trial is going to be held.
> Behind you, you hear the faint sound of people humming.

> Recipe List:
Rocket Arms - You swear you will make these one day. The concept is just so...beautiful. (Extending Arm + Bits and Bobs?)
Perpetual Detonation Engine - Because energy from explosion is awwwww yeah. (No obvious recipe)
Telephone - Yukari, eat your heart out. Science can do that long-distance-talking-newfangled-shit as well. (No obvious recipe)

You sit down in your little corner and start working on the upgrade. By upgrade, you really mean 'throw around various pieces of circuitry until something really cool happens', but you manage to achieve something more often than not.
After a few minutes of tweaking, you give the Extending Arm a little test fire. It blasts forward, with the glove giving out a beautiful trail of flame. The sheer science of your discovery is enough to bring tears to your eyes. It's...glorious.

> Extending Arm has been upgraded to Rocket Arm! It's now strong enough to do serious damage to buildings and people, though you're really not the type to hurt other people unless absolutely necessary. What now?

> You get behind the prison easily enough, but it's quite a large place, presumable with a few cells. You'll need to find some way to figure out which one Cirno's behind - you obviously aren't going to get two shots at this.
> You can hear people coming behind the jail, and they won't be happy to see you attempt a breakin. Think fast.

The only limit is time, which you currently don't have a lot of.

(You guys get some time to think over your plan, because I need to sleep. =_=)

> You use the roof as cover, and sure enough you're out of sight. In the distance, a bell rings, signally the turn of the hour. Someone shouts.
"Bring us the witch!"
A small crowd enters the jail, and a few seconds later they emerge again. In their midst is Cirno, with her hands stuck together with several Chinese finger traps. She shoves into the guards as they haul her into the courtroom, still shouting.
"Get offa me, dammit! I'm the strongest in Gensokyo, and on top of that I'm invisible now! Lemme go!"

>You leap down towards the crowd in a brilliant dive. Half a dozen voices cry out at once, screaming 'She's with the witch!'

>Regrettably, it's only now that you get around to performing this command and realising that there's no way in hell things are going to be this easy. The crowd all reach for pieces of paper at once and cry out in unison.
"Holy Sign [Demon Smite]!"
> You take a moment to ponder how spellcards made it here, but by then the humans have gathered enough power to use the card properly and knock you away in midair. Suddenly you realise that if they could capture Cirno, they'd have no trouble capturing you.
You hit the ground hard, and the world fades to black...

>...When you wake up, your hands have been tied behind your back, and you sit in a defendant's chair. The judge is looking down on you ominously.
"Young lady, I should not need to tell you why you are here. You stand accused of assisting the witch Chier Noh in her acts against our great and loving God. How do you plead?"

"You would question our scriptures, child?! Does Exodus 22:18 not read 'Suffer not a witch to live'?!"
Yeah, that was probably a bad idea.

> "Not guilty."

> "She lies!" cries a voice in the crowd. Everyone turns, to the sight of a teenage girl who you're sure was attending that circle earlier.
"I saw her, whispering curses in the ears of my mother this morning! Look! Look at what her gaze does to me!"
The girl flails around almost unnaturally in an act of possession. The crowd erupts in cries of fear and disgust.

"Well, it seems that there is little to discuss here. Child, we are not an unforgiving church, and will give you one last attempt to prove your innocence. Do you accept?"
