>Try again. This time, try not to lose ourself into the moment quite so much, so we're ready for Marisa to do something silly.

> You decide to try something different. As soon as you start breathing again Marisa starts in with her catcalls.
> Rather than losing touch, you try to block out outside sound.
> You are your breath, filling your lungs and changing your blood.
> You are your breath, rushing back out into the air, ready to be changed.
> Sound dies away as the sound of your breathing fills your ears. Marisa's calls fade, punctuated by the odd jab to your shoulder.
> You hands hot, you conjure an orb. Commanding it to float, it hovers about 10 cm above your palm.
> Marisa nods, and you try to listen to her again, the orb falling about 4 cm.
> "Come back out, you have to be able to control them in the real world as well as your own."
> Your breath falls back into its normal rhythm. Hey, the orb is still floating, wow! Marisa smirks.
> "Looks like you're starting to understand it. We should try and get you some more practice."

>Nod. "Yeah...it's a bit weird, though. Sort of like being told to draw something I've never seen before."
>Dismiss the bullet, or let it go harmlessly if it won't dismiss.
>Back to dining!
>"About the other things. Um...well, you've probably guessed."

> "I guess you could say that, it's definitely a little odder when you're forced into it. Still, it's an extension of yourself, so it shouldn't feel that strange to summon. Then again, I don't even remember how I felt when I first started shooting, it's been a long-ass time since then."
> You try to ignore the orb, it disappears in a puff.
> Time to keep eating! This stuff is pretty good, whatever Lamprey is. The youkai behind the grill starts to sing again, softly this time.
> "Not really, it could be anything that you came to me for but I'm assuming it isn't for a love spell. Perhaps you came to profess your love for me? Aw, you shouldn't have!"
> She giggles and pushes against your shoulder.
> She abruptly stops laughing. "But if you have something to actually talk about, then go ahead. I've got a few questions for you too."

> Marisa begins to choke on her Lamprey and erupts into a manic fit of coughing.
> "*cough* *cough* Fucking...*cough* AYA!?!?"
> The youkai behind the grill stops her song and stares at you speechless.
> Marisa continues to cough, reaching for her water after a spell.

>Frown. Aya wasn't that bad...

> "Oh! God, please don't do that again. Tengu pretty much means Aya, unless you specify."
> Well, she did mention that she wasn't very well-liked because of how she acted, and letting down the ruse didn't seem to be an option for whatever reason.
> "So, Momiji huh? I fought her once, didn't really stick around. She'll be a little tough to crack because she's a tengu though. Hang on."
> Marisa turns towards another youkai walking up to the cart, you recognize her as the one playing with worms earlier.
> "Hey Wriggs," calls Marisa.
> She stops once she notices you. "Heeyyyyyy..."

> "I'm not weak!" Wriggle shouts. "I may not be as strong as you, but I could take this guy!"
> "So do it, you said yourself he didn't respect worms. What about other bugs?"
> "Y-yeah! All bugs are important! How come you think you're better than them!?"
> "Just don't hit my stall..." the grill youkai adds.

> "Huh? You mean finishing your plate? Yeah sure, go ahead."
> Wriggle plops down on a stool at the far end on the stall, and starts talking softly with the grill youkai who you now assume to be Mystia.
> There's not much left of the fillet, and you finish it in short order.
> "Ready?"

> Stay defensive for now, look for any openings if she attacks and dodge through them but watch out for traps. After you figure out the pattern, launch some danmaku at her, see if we can make some large clusters of it.

> You stand up and move away from the cart, Marisa beside you. Wriggle keeps pace from a distance.
> Once a fair distance away, you stop and face Wriggle, who looks both uncomfortable and confident at the same time.
> Suddenly, you duck! You roll across the ground and leap over bullets that aren't even there! Your amazing display of athleticism causes Marisa to stare blankly.
> "Uh, it hasn't started yet."
> Oh.
> You return next to Marisa, amid a chorus of laughter from her and Wriggle.
> Marisa wipes a tear. "OK, do you have any idea how this works at all?"
> "Can't I just shoot the bastard!?"

Well, more like she's going to pull a card and you're going to dodge like crazy and try to get a few shots off. Understand?"

> They're probably about 10 meters from you, but approaching fast. You start to move up and meet them.
> "Dodging is more important than accurate shooting, tell you why later. Just shoot when you can!"
> The spiral continues as you move closer. You start to recognize the rhythm to it now, and feel you could find a spot to shoot through.
